"If we talk about a chance encounter in the rivers and lakes, how many people dare to say that they can survive under Shu Yifan's sword? In the chaos of the army, Cao Yan can penetrate Yang Yang with a hundred steps, and can penetrate armor dozens of feet away. Who dares to say that he can dodge his arrow?
?The Saibei people are born to eat on horseback, and every year the Scimitar King cuts off countless heads! But if you put on armor and look around the world, who dares to say that you can walk a hundred rounds under Chen Ziyi's spear?
“There are countless heroes in the world, but who is more skilled in martial arts?
"Everyone comes together, who is the best in the world?
“I’m afraid every occasion has its own pros and cons!
"Heroes and heroes can't get together, so I will tell everyone on the stage how to compare. Today I will talk about the heroes of the world. It is just a family talk. I hope you will support me."
There was a thin storyteller on the stage, his voice was mellow and he spoke very attractively.
However, the judge who just came in below didn't quite buy it.
"Is it possible not to talk about this today?"
"What do you want to hear, sir?"
"I heard that someone met another immortal on Yunding Mountain?"
As soon as this was said, everyone became interested.
Yes, this is Pingzhou.
The stories people love to hear the most are stories about gods, gods and ghosts, especially stories about real gods, gods and ghosts that are close at hand.
But I saw the storyteller on the stage looked embarrassed and looked at the old customers below the stage: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it. It's just that I just talked about it in the last class. All the guests in the audience haven't left yet, so how can I learn from it?"
Why do you want to pay someone once to hear the same story twice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clanging sound.
Seeing someone throwing money, others followed suit, and the pears that had just grown this autumn were all thrown on the stage, at least a hundred or ten dollars, and seven or eight pears.
“Ouch ouch!
"Thank you all!
"Thank you so much..."
The storyteller quickly handed over his hands to express his thanks, and bent down to pick up the money one by one without leaving any melons or fruits behind. After putting them away, he handed over his hands again: "Since you all want to hear it, let me tell you again."
He coughed twice and pursed his lips:
"I wonder if you still remember what happened last year? The newly appointed magistrate of Shizu County came to our place to climb Yunding Mountain, but he disappeared. Only one of his followers ran down the mountain. Everyone thought he was crossing the Yunding Iron Cable.
He fell to death, or was eaten by wild beasts and spirits in the mountains.
"That's not an ordinary person! Although he went to work as a magistrate in Shizu County nearby, he was a capital official before, and he also had a literary name, and he had friends all over the world. At that time, all the magistrates of our Changsheng County went to offer incense, and even people in the county had relationships with him.
Friendship nobles also come to Yunding Mountain to burn incense.
"But who can know?
"He and his guards actually came down from the mountain a few days ago!"
Everyone below was in an uproar and talking about it. Some people who had heard it before started whispering to the people next to them about what happened next.
"This can't be fake!"
The storyteller widened his eyes and said: "Someone came down from Yunding Mountain before and said they met gods. I can't say whether it is true or false. Anyway, it is empty talk. There are always true and false, but no matter what time it is, there is no such thing as this one.
The credibility is high!
"He is a demoted official from the capital! He also has a literary name. Although he is not from a famous family or a small family, he has actually been missing for a whole year, and everyone knows it! As a result, the new magistrate of the county sent by the imperial court was still there.
He hasn't arrived yet, his wife and children haven't finished observing their filial piety, and they have really come down from the mountain. Who can fake this?
"The whole Shizu County is rumored to be crazy!"
Someone immediately asked: "What did he say?"
"One day in the sky and one year in the earth. Have you ever heard of it? The county magistrate met an immortal and walked with the immortal. When he was on the top of the mountain, he fell asleep. He slept all night and woke up the next day.
I thought I just slept for one night, but then I found out that I had slept from the second year of Mingde to the third year of Mingde. Do you think it’s magical or not?”
The people below were in a commotion.
Someone asked again: "Has his wife remarried?"
It's a gentle voice.
"That's not true."
The storyteller paused for a moment: "Everyone, please be quiet. I have more details here. They were told by people who came from Shizu County..."
Everyone immediately became quiet and only listened to what he said.
Although this story spread far, Cui Nanxi and his guards kept their word and did not reveal his name. Knowing this, and knowing that Cui Nanxi's wife and concubines had not remarried, the impact on him this year was less.
After a few, Song You was satisfied, got up and left.
With rumors of meeting immortals and his reputation growing, Cui Nanxi would be more alert and might say that the compilation of the canon was inspired by immortals. It would be easier to get the consent of the emperor and the court, and it would be easier for him to serve as president.
It can be regarded as another level of compensation besides the magic pill.
There was a lot of noise in the hook pen, but it was quiet outside. The sun was just right, and the horses were parked quietly in the tiled stable.
As soon as Song You approached, the calico cat in the cloth pocket seemed to recognize his footsteps. It popped its head out of the cloth pocket and stared at him with a puzzled expression.
"Are you done listening?"
"Finished listening."
"I thought you were going to hear it was getting dark."
"Let's go."
As soon as the Taoist left, the horse followed suit, letting the commotion behind him talk about the gods on the mountain.
Just like this, the rumor that there is an immortal on Yunding Mountain is probably going to be confirmed, and I don’t know how many people come from all over the country to look for immortals on Yunding Mountain.
How many people's time have been wasted?
"well……"
The horse walked all the way out of the city.
After leaving Changsheng County, another two hundred miles will lead to Pingzhou.
…
After passing Pingzhou, you will reach Jingzhou.
Horse bells jingle.
The little girl was walking in front, wearing a three-color summer dress. The clothes on her body had been washed several times. The colors were not as bright as before, but they looked softer and more pleasing to the eye.
At this time, she was holding a dried yellow barmao ball in her hand, tossing it in the air and playing with it.
Every time I throw the ball very high, just to a position in front of me, I take a moderate step and walk over just in time to catch it. Occasionally I make a mistake, I have to wait or run a few more steps, so lively
The image of the little girl also attracted the attention of countless people along the way.
The Taoist behind him was thinking about daily necessities.
It's spring this year, ah no, it's already last year.
When I left Anqing in the spring of last year, I had about 2,780 taels of silver with me.
Whether the amount is large or small is hard to say.
If you are ordinary people, most of their daily life depends on self-sufficiency. There are not many places to make money, and there are not many opportunities to spend money. This money is a lot for them. Depending on their usage, it may be able to last for decades.
time.
If you are a person who does not farm the land and relies solely on money to make a living, then in this era of prosperous commerce, it will not last that long.
Song You and the Sanhua Cat traveled all the way. When walking in the mountains, the cost was actually not high, but once they entered the city, although they were not staying in the best inns or rooms, they were not cheap, and they were rarely in the city.
I treated myself poorly when it came to food. Even the fodder the bay horse ate was good, so the expenses suddenly went up.
In the past six months, I have spent more than ten taels.
Now there are still thirteen taels of silver and six to seven hundred copper coins.
To go to Changjing, we have to pass through Jingzhou and then Angzhou. Although it is not as picturesque as Xuzhou, nor as full of scenic spots, gods, monsters and legends as Pingzhou, it still has its own customs and customs, even if it takes a long time
It will not take as long as Xuzhou and Pingzhou, and it will probably take several months.
Prices in Yidu are already very high, and prices in Changjing are probably even higher. You have to leave some money, at least when you go to Changjing you won't have to sleep on the streets, and then you can think about how to get the money.
You still have to save money for a meal, money for a good meal.
It has been a year and a half since I said goodbye to Anqing. I don’t know if I can meet Wu Nuxia again in Changjing, and I don’t know how much a good meal in Changjing will cost. Anyway, keep this money first and keep more.
a little.
As a result, there is not much left to spend.
It's just that Song You is not worried. He just calculates that if he is rich, he will be richer, and if he is poor, he will be poorer. In short, he just wants to walk in the world and not starve to death.
As we travel farther and farther, the dew becomes thicker and the fog becomes heavier, and autumn becomes deeper day by day.
Unknowingly, the autumnal equinox has passed again.
The weather was getting colder, and felts and thin blankets could provide less and less warmth. Song You used the thin blanket he bought and the wool blanket given by Yu Zhizhou together, and had to rely on Empress Sanhua to keep each other warm.
When the weather was like this, I had no intention of staying in bed when I was sleeping in the open air. When I woke up, I wanted to get up early to boil some hot water, eat something to warm myself up, and then continue on my way.
It feels warm when you walk.
It was another early morning, and the Taoist led the calico cat and horse through the middle of the village.
There are sparse houses in the village, and the surrounding grass and leaves are all golden. The morning mist envelopes the whole world, and the sun just shines from the east, giving it a special sense of warmth and warmth.
The sound of chickens echoes in the moonlight of Maodian, and the frost of Banqiao is everywhere.
Mo Daojun leaves early, and there are even more early travelers.
Song You stopped on the small bridge. Behind him were a series of footprints, including his, horse hoof prints, and a string of plum blossoms. In front of him was an old man carrying a basket on his back, and behind him were also a series of footprints. The two of them were walking on this
We met on the stone bridge and stopped for each other because of the Taoist's salute.
The old man uses a stick, and the Taoist also uses a stick.
I saw the Taoist asking respectfully: "Old man, I wonder if there are any horse hoof trimmers nearby?"
The calico cat also raised its head and looked at the old man.
"Take a horse's hoof repair?"
"Yes, fix the horse's hooves."
"Purify the horse's hooves..."
The old man's words were unclear and he had to look up at him. He raised his hand to point, but it took him a small circle to find the direction: "There is a blacksmith in a village ahead, who seems to be able to repair horseshoes..."
"Just in front?"
"It will take a long time..."
"Go straight?"
"ah……"
The old man spoke very vaguely, and Song You was not sure either.
However, he still said respectfully:
"Thank you, husband."
The old man shook his head and left.
The Taoist also left with his horse and cat.
On the loess road, two sets of footprints crossed each other.
Song You couldn't help but look back and was surprised to find that the old man's clothes were actually thinner than his.
It was so early in the morning, and I didn’t know how far I had walked.
