The sun is rising.

Fei Mako sat on the bluestone outside the mountain gate and looked down.

Birds and Beasts Mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference, at a glance are white clouds, fog gathers and fog disperses, and the grass and trees of the forest are faintly visible.

A sheep's intestine path has been flooded by wild grass, and no one has come up from this road for many years, so he is still a junior brother.

Thirty-two years seems to be just a flick of a finger for the monks, and the current Fei Mazi still looks like a young man in white, and the years have not left the slightest trace.

But the senior brother already had gray hair on his head.

The senior brother patrolled outside the mountain gate, checking the large array laid on the ground, and after a while, he picked up a piece of broken jade from the ground, shook his head and threw it into the bag at hand, and saw that Fei Mazi was still looking at it, and urged: "You have already said goodbye to the senior brothers, hurry up and go to Mengcheng, collect this year's jade as soon as possible, and I can also rebuild the Great Gathering Spirit Array." ”

"Yes, brother. "Fei Mako glanced back at the mountain gate, it is said that the mountain gate used to be a city, but when Fei Mako came, it was already dilapidated and overgrown. At that time, the Spirit Gathering Great Array could gather the aura of the entire Bird and Beast Mountain for their cultivation. And now, the aura of the Bird and Beast View is no longer enough to supply the use of more than ten of their sects, because of the excessive load of the Spirit Gathering Array, the jade of the array is also being consumed more and more, so they have to frequently go to Mengcheng under the mountain to ask for jade.

This is the first time that Fei Mazi has gone down the mountain in more than thirty years, and it is really because the damage to the Spirit Gathering Array is too serious, and the other senior brothers have to devote themselves to the maintenance of the Spirit Gathering Array.

The old crane at the mountain gate has not driven for many years, and when the reins were set, Fei Mazi found that there were some places on its slender neck that were bald, and the cloud car outside the mountain gate was also full of dust, but this trip to Mengcheng was to represent the façade of the bird and mouse view, so when he got up in the morning, Fei Mazi washed the cloud car and dried it outside the mountain gate.

Boarding the cloud car, driving the white crane, the cloud car around the rolling white clouds, the cloud car lifted, with a desolate crane chirp, the cloud car carried the non-intermittent child, the side of the mountain wind crooked and flew into the distance.

The senior brother raised his head and looked at the back of the non-mako, and couldn't help but recall what the master had talked about, the scene of a thousand cranes taking off and luxury cars like clouds, can this kind of scene be reproduced?

Anyway, the bird and mouse view has been withered from generation to generation.

If not, if it is not enough to gather the spirit array, where will the Bird and Beast Observatory go?

Is the bird and mouse view destined to fall in his own hands? After a hundred years, what will he give to his descendants?

Watching his junior brother disappear into the clouds in the sky, the senior brother was stupid.

……

……

……

At the southern foot of the Bird and Beast Mountain, in the yin of the Menghe River, there is a city, the city covers an area of several miles, it is the most prosperous place for hundreds of miles around, it is called the Mengcheng City. Today is the market in Mengcheng, and the villagers within a hundred miles nearby are rushing to the direction of Mengcheng, paying a penny per person to enter the city at the gate of the city, carrying all kinds of goods, with a smile of hope, queuing up to enter the city.

And some people are not willing to pay this penny of money to enter the city, so they simply shout and sell outside the city gate, selling wonton noodles, pinching small clay figures, storing donkeys and horses, taxi horses, selling ready-to-wear clothes, killing pigs and dogs, and so on. The official road with eight horses parallel to the gate of Mengcheng was so crowded that only people were allowed to walk sideways, but it was even more lively than inside the city.

When you enter the city, there are a few restaurants, a few inns, and opposite are the blacksmith shop, the garment shop, and the silver building grain store.

But the most famous in Mengcheng is the lotus fragrant big bun at the south city gate, the big bun that can be held with both hands, the filling is big and the skin is thin, the bite is full of oil, two by two packs, wrapped with sun-dried lotus leaves, tied with reeds, and carried wherever you go, you will be fragrant all the way. Which of the merchants who came and went was full of praise?

Just in front of the two tall steamers outside the door of the lotus fragrant bun shop, the small stones with thin necks and big heads, black and white on their faces were staring at the big black eyes, looking at the steamed buns in the steamer, covering their mouths with both hands, but they couldn't stop the saliva from flooding the gold mountain, and it fell to the ground.

He's been standing here for half an hour.

The guy who sold the bun finally couldn't help it: "Where's your adult?"

Xiao Shi pointed behind him, his eyes still not far from the big bun.

On the opposite side is an alley, behind which is full of lights and drunken gold. And around the corner, there is a small bookstore, inheriting the vulgarity and elegance, facing the long street. The façade is small, with only four bookshelves, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of books bound and bound.

"Xie Lu, thank you, boss. Zi Baifeng finally negotiated the printing of the White Snake Chuan, bowed his hand, took a few ingots of silver from the boss in advance, spread the sleeves of his robe, and walked out of the door. Although he has the silver buried in the yard and the jade under the bluestone buttocks, he can't take it out, he can't spend it, and his life is always tight, so he has to come to find some money.

Although the small bookstore has a small façade, the owner is the leader of the Mengcheng cultural market, and most of the running water is behind the back rather than in front of people.

"Brother!" Hearing Zi Baifeng come out, Xiao Shi immediately jumped up and looked at him with blank eyes, if someone put a tail behind him, it must be wagging around at this time.

"Meat buns, I promise you. Zi Baifeng walked to the opposite restaurant with a smile, took out ten yuan and handed it over, and said, "Ten meat buns, two of which should be wrapped in double lotus leaves." ”

The guy quickly wrapped the meat buns in twos and twos, one of them added a layer of lotus leaves, and put it in a straw net, and handed it to Zi Baifeng.

"Sheng Hui ten pennies, ten lotus pork buns, you take them!" the guy greeted skillfully, "I'm sorry everyone, the buns were rounded by this guest...... That's all for today, please hurry up tomorrow, thank you!"

Zi Baifeng slapped away the dirty hand that the small stone stretched out to the meat bun, wiped his palm with a handkerchief, and the snow-white cloth turned into pitch black in an instant, and when he was helpless, the fat boss of the bookstore stretched out his hand with a smile, holding a scoop with water in his hand.

Qing Shui drew an arc in the air, and his big and small hands rubbed together in the water, and a hearty laugh sounded.

The big buns in the lotus bun shop are full of oil when you bite into them, and you can't help but want to swallow your tongue. Zi Baifeng had just eaten one, and he saw that the two small stones on the opposite side had already lost their stomachs, and they were looking at him with blank eyes, shook their heads and smiled, broke the bun in their hands, and handed over half of it.

After eating half of the buns in his hand, Zi Baifeng put the remaining six buns in his hand in a grass pocket, handed them to Xiaoshi, and said, "I still have to visit a few friends, you go and send buns to my father...... Four for my father, two for my aunt, don't steal any more food. ”

"I know!" replied loudly, and hugged the net, turning to run.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Zi Baifeng shook his head helplessly, this little guy must be planning to rub half a bun at his father's place, I really don't know how his little belly eats so many things.

Although one and a half buns went into his stomach, he seemed to be even hungrier, Zi Baifeng was the time to grow his body and eat strong rice, how could one and a half buns be enough to eat? It's just that there are only these left in the lotus fragrant buns, so Zi Baifeng made up his mind to find someone to eat!

Today is the market in Mengcheng twice a month, since last night, Xiaoshi has been noisy to go to Mengcheng to play, Zibai Feng knows that what excuse is fake, Xiaoshi wants to be a daughter-in-law.

It just so happened that Zi Baifeng also had a lot of things to do, so he planned to bring a small stone to Mengcheng.

Zijian didn't worry that the brothers would come to Mengcheng by themselves, and they were also idle, so they brought their own carpentry and masonry tools, and they also came with them.

This way, the road is far away and the weather is hot, but Zi Baifeng is tired, he began to brew, no matter what, he will build a post station in Xiayan Village, even if there is no post station, he has to drive a carriage, this kind of transportation is basically relying on the days of walking, he has enough.

Just as he was thinking like this, Zi Baifeng suddenly heard an exclamation from outside, he turned his head to look and found that everyone was looking up at the sky, so he also raised his eyes.

Zi Baifeng also opened his mouth wide.

……

……

……

The little stone struggled through the crowd, and when he saw a shadow in the sky, the bazaar stirred, and people poured out of their rooms, shouting, "The immortals are coming, the immortals are coming!"

After a while, there was the sound of gongs and drums in front, and several officials shouted in front of them, driving away the people, and several villagers who beat gongs and drums raised their heads to the sky.

Under the escort of those village warrior officials, a snow-white crane was walking forward on slender two legs, and behind the crane, a cloud cart shrouded in mist carried a young man in a Taoist robe, looking down on all living beings.

The small stone came out of the crowd, one hand protected the bun in his arms, and the other hand held his knees desperately, and looked at the crane from below, the crane's two long legs taller than a human were swinging around the official's side, and the cloud car behind the crane had no wheels.

"Wow!" Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, if this big crane was made into meat buns, how many meals would it be able to eat!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Seeing that the crowd is accumulating more and more, and there are people breathing greedily in the smoke emitted by the cloud car, as if they are planning to get into the immortal qi, those officials are in a hurry, and the city guard is greeting them outside the gate of the mansion, making the adults wait for a long time or making the immortals impatient, it is a big sin to lose their heads!

They raised their clubs and struck them in all directions, and there was a whooping sound, and the crowd crowded again, pushing and shoving each other.
