The wind is gentle and the sun is warm, the clouds are rolling and relaxing, and in the ancient forest, there are three or two birds singing softly, and five or six friends are walking along.

Ever since they learned that Zhi Ying and Xiao Jinwu were outsiders who practiced Taoism and destroyed the Sun Collection Array in the Tiannv Temple, and Lin Xuan testified from the side, Xi Youwei's family had an unusual amount of respect for these two people.

with enthusiasm.

If Zhiying hadn't wanted to be thanked by others, the entire Xishou town would have clamored to build a temple to worship her and Little Golden Crow.

Hearing that the two wanted to go out for an outing, Xi Youwei pointed her out as a guide before Xi Ru could say anything.

Tu Shan wanted to be a matchmaker, so naturally he wanted to go with him, and even invited Lin Xuan, who was distracted, to join him.

So several young people with different thoughts formed a temporary tour group.

The last time they climbed the mountain to watch the sunset, Zhiying and Xiao Jinwu deliberately chose another road directly to the Tiannv Temple to go down the mountain. At the same time, they also discovered that there was a world of their own on the other side of the mountain.

Today is to explore this world.

There was no need to compete, and this outing was particularly enjoyable.

Xi Ru was the host, so she told them about the commendable customs of the New Year in Xishou Town. On New Year's Eve, they eat rice porridge made with tofu, bean sprouts, dried beans, chicken offal, pickles and other foods.

age.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she eats rice cakes dipped in white sugar, hoping that her life will be sweet and prosperous in the new year. From the tenth to the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be lanterns to watch, as well as melodious suonas and bright flower gongs and drums. At that time, she would always be dazzled by the lanterns.

Her parents were looking for her everywhere.

Xi Ru's words are generous and crisp, and her personality is bright and cheerful. Speaking of these makes people resonate even more, as if she is in it, with the suona and gongs and drums symphony in her ears, and the lights and colors in front of her eyes, which makes her seem to be fascinated.

After a while, I walked to another unknown but more lively place.

Zhiying listened very carefully and asked what the rice cereal tasted like, what the meat and fruit eaten every other year were made of, whether there were any other ways to eat rice cakes besides dipping them in sugar, and what kinds of patterns there were on the lanterns.

Lantern riddles can be guessed and played.

Not only did he ask, but he also shared what he knew with Xi Ru.

Meatballs can not only be made from ordinary pork, but also fish meat can be chopped into puree and mixed with flour to make fish balls. The color is white, soft and crystal clear, and tastes fresh and chewy. You can also stuff it with fillings to make the taste richer.

tasty.

The rice cake can be fried, stir-fried, or boiled. It can be made in various ways, such as sweet and sour, shredded, or salty. Her favorite is the pork rib rice cake, which has the rich aroma of the ribs and the soft, glutinous and crispy texture of the rice cake. It is very delicious.

For a moment, it was her talking, and everyone listened with great interest. Tu Shan was also brought in by her, forgetting all about the purpose of coming. It seemed that the delicious food was right in front of them, with all the colors and aromas. They couldn't help but salivate and salivate, just waiting to taste it.

tasty.

Little Golden Crow was doubtful, and seeing that Lin Xuan was listening especially attentively and feeling secretly angry, he interrupted Zhi Ying's witty words: "There are few fireworks in the mountains, don't spread such nonsense and mislead the people!"

"Who said I misled my disciples? You didn't..." Zhiying almost said something shocking in excitement, but luckily he stopped in time, glared at Little Golden Crow, and said, "You don't go to the tower very often.

How do you know the places beyond the borders recorded in the book?"

Xiao Jinwu frowned: "The Wei Zhi one?"

"……nature."

Little Jinwu's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, as if someone had made a cut, ruining Fengshen's handsome face.

Seeing him like this, Zhiying felt even more guilty, but had no intention of arguing with him anymore. Thinking of his own plan, he smiled and said: "After passing through this forest, there seems to be a stream in front of me. I just hope there are fish in it. Come over the mountain,

It would be boring without any rewards!”

Xi Rulinxuan and Xi Rulinxuan looked at her and smiled tacitly. Tu Shan was stunned for a moment and understood what she meant. Only Xiao Jinwu was still confused.

However, Zhi Ying did not allow him to think too deeply and assigned him a task: "You will be responsible for lighting the fire when the time comes!"

Little Jinwu readily agreed: "It's a trivial matter!"

Weaver immediately smiled.

Little Jinwu was stunned, as if these questions were insignificant compared to her smile.

At the end of the woods is a grassland, and at the end of the grassland are natural barriers of large and small rocks at various heights, dividing the water flow upstream into several streams, overlapping each other, flowing down layer by layer, and finally converging into one place, the stream gurgling and flowing out.

The sweet sound is like the sound of nature.

Coming out of the lush forest and encountering the clear stream in the wilderness, everyone has the feeling that the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

After walking for half a day, it didn't matter to Zhi Ying and Little Golden Crow. Lin Xuan Xiru, two mortals, and Tu Shan, a demon who was no different from a mortal, both had stomach ache.

Lin Xuan first understood the meaning of shadow weaving, so he went to the forest to pick up branches.

Tu Shan saw this and wanted to encourage Xi Ru to go too, but Zhi Ying glared back and was asked by her to catch fish together, leaving Xi Ru and Xiao Jinwu sitting on the grass.

"Why don't Mr. Chixiao go fishing with Miss Gu?" Xi Ru asked.

Xiao Jinwu stared at her, smiled, and replied, "Why don't Miss Xi go collect firewood with Mr. Lin?"

Xi Ru was speechless.

After a long while, she found her voice: "Did Mr. Chixiao not know what Miss Gu said? I thought you were childhood sweethearts and talked about everything!"

Xiao Jinwu didn't even look at her and said indifferently: "Not everyone likes to talk too much."

Xi Ru felt bored and cursed in her heart: "You deserve to be so cold-faced and poisonous-tongued that you have not been able to cultivate properly for so many years!"

But he didn't speak anymore.

Beside the stream, Zhiying cut a tree fork, took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked into the stream to spear fish. I don't know whether it was her eyesight or the fish was too nimble. Several times in a row, the tree fork was lifted up, but it was empty.

The fork of the tree fell and lifted again, and a few green water plants hung on it. Tu Shan watched from the shore and laughed.

Zhiying took off the water plants from the fork of the tree and threw it into the water, then looked back at her. Tu Shan stopped laughing and paused, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Zhi Ying said: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly. It's uncomfortable to hold it in."

After she said this, Tu Shan asked confidently: "Why don't you let that girl and Lin Xuan go to collect firewood together? That old man Xi's wish is more practical, why do you want to ruin their marriage?"

Zhiying stood in the water, on a low ground, looking up at Tu Shan but not seeing the slightest disadvantage. Those eyes that were clearer and brighter than the stream made Tu Shan dare not look closely.

"Xi Youwei's wish is indeed related to Xi Ru's marriage, but who told you that Xi Ru's marriage is with Lin Xuan? How can you say that I ruined their marriage?"

Tu Shan knew that he was being ignored and lowered his eyelashes, but he still couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart: "You asked me to 'atone' for my sins, and now you say I'm wrong!"

Zhi Ying shook his head: "Man can conquer nature, and demons can also control their own destiny, but that doesn't mean they can also control other people's destiny and influence other people's marriages."

She lowered her palm, and when she raised it again, she found a puddle of water in her palm, with a small fish in it swaying awkwardly from side to side.

"If I don't trap it, it will have its own trajectory and then die. But if I trap it, I will use it for lunch today. This is also a trajectory towards decline. But if I let it go, it will still have its own path.

More options for trajectories towards decline, rather than the most temporary one right now.”

Seeing the confusion on Tu Shan's face, Zhi Ying lowered his palm again. The fish swung its tail and swam away, raising his hand to find nothing.

She continued: "I could have let you be the fish that is about to be swallowed by others, but I don't want to interrupt your life, which may be very exciting or ordinary."

Tu Shan looked at her with a vague understanding, but there was no anger or hatred.

Zhi Ying flicked her finger, and a drop of water hit Tu Shan's eyebrows. She said: "Little fox, I asked you to atone for your sins, but I didn't ask you to mess with the couple's rules. Don't put the two of them together again after you go back. He
