Arriving at the original snowfield, the swordsman couldn't help but slow down.
The ice and snow on the snowfield have completely melted, and on a flat land, grass has already sprouted in just ten days. From a distance, the earth is green, and everything is full of vitality.
Riding a horse and walking among them, whether you are a swordsman or a black horse, your mood seems to be much more relaxed.
But in this gentleness, he couldn't help but feel dazed.
Is this the ice and snow monster country?
I still remember the scene when the land was frozen and the wind and snow were raging, and I also remember the scene of the thunderous thunder that destroyed the world. Even when I left, there was snow here.
At this time, it really feels like two different places.
There is no snow, no thunder, only life everywhere.
Is this the birth of Tian Lei?
I couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass, the private houses exposed in the distance, the faintly discernible official road, the divided fields, and the long-dead street trees beside the road, everything seems to have returned to its original appearance.
If the temples on the plain were not still there and he had indeed passed the temples, he would not even be able to tell whether he had reached the snowfield or not.
Before I knew it, it was already February.
Maybe it’s time to change the name back to Heyuan.
"thorough!"
It took a long time for the swordsman to shout loudly.
The black horse suddenly galloped and stepped on the grass, kicking up black soil and broken grass under its hooves.
But walking along this way, you can also see the extraordinary features of this land - whether it is the dense white bones on the ground, or the huge rotting demon body lying next to it, scattered in a pile or looming next to the body.
The huge human-shaped rubble, or the deep pits and ravines dug out on the ground, all show that there was a time when this place was no longer a human border, and it also shows that people are taking it back.
In the process, there was a great battle.
Finally we arrived at the spring again.
The green grass here is more abundant, and the earth has turned into a green. Only the spring water is surrounded by colorful colors, like a pair of demon eyes opening in the earth.
A bay-red horse was grazing quietly in the distance, and the Taoist was still sitting by the spring, in the same position as before, and his posture had not changed, as if he was the only one in the world who had not changed. A calico cat was leaning on his back.
The body was sitting slumped like a human being, looking into the distance in trance.
It wasn't until the sound of horse hooves got closer that she changed her position, got up and stared at the swordsman.
"Xu..."
The swordsman dismounted and held the box.
"Sir! Fortunately, I have lived up to my fate!"
"so fast."
"We should hurry up!" The swordsman came over carefully holding the wooden box. "The mountain god told me that this is the mountain, and he only asked me to bring it back to my husband!"
"Got it."
Song You sat still and turned around to take the box from his hand.
After just one glance, I understood.
He casually opened the box, and inside it was covered with brocade cloth. There was a small stone less than the size of a palm, roughly in the shape of a triangle. If you look closely, you can see countless fine lines on it, as well as small green dots, as if it were a dangerous building.
Shi Feng scaled it down exactly and made it into an object to play with.
The swordsman watched intently.
The calico cat also grabbed the Taoist's arm and cast his gaze over.
Miraculously, as soon as the box was opened, the little stone started to grow when exposed to light. In the blink of an eye, it had already grown in size. If you didn't pay attention, the original box could no longer hold it.
"Meow……"
The calico cat looked at it for a moment, and almost lost control of its claws, trying to reach out and touch it.
"Stay away."
The Taoist held the box and finally stood up.
Turn around and walk a certain distance, casting spells as you go, connecting the yin and yang four seasons magic circle with the aura in the mountain stone, supplying the magic circle with the aura of the mountain stone, and then throw it away.
The stone flew into the air and grew larger instantly.
A dark shadow appeared in front of my eyes.
"boom!"
The ground trembled, water and soil splashed everywhere.
By the time the swordsman and Mao'er came to their senses, the stone had turned into a small stone mountain with a diameter of about ten feet and about the same height. It fell on the ground and happened to cover the entire spring. The water and soil splashed out were the largest.
The far one happened to fall at the feet of a group of people.
What's even more amazing is that this hill that fell to the ground is still growing.
The soil and grass on the ground were gradually pushed away by it.
The bottom of the hill gradually sank underground.
The swordsman stared straight over there, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the gentleman next to him smiling at him and asked: "Is the mountain god easy to talk to? Have you encountered any trouble along the way?"
"Mr. Hui, the Mountain God is easy to talk to. I just gave him the letter and told him about Heyuan in Hezhou, and he took the mountain." The swordsman was still a little shocked, but he still replied, "Although on the way,
There are some people who don't open their eyes, but they can't be called troublesome. Instead, Shu borrowed the mountain from the mountain god and stayed overnight in Nanhua after coming down from the mountain, where he heard some of Mr.'s past stories."
"Nan Hua..."
Song You fell into memories.
It seemed like a long time passed.
It didn't seem like that long.
"Let's go."
Song You shook his Taoist robe that was completely soaked in mud and water, then glanced at the ancient pine trees on the hill that had already shown their shape but looked extremely small. He turned around and walked away: "I don't know how big this mountain is yet. We'd better stay away from it."
Stay further away and speak slowly."
"yes."
Stay away from springs and hills all the way.
During this period, the swordsman and the calico cat turned back several times to see how big the mountain had grown and how far the Taoist had to go. However, they saw that the Taoist kept away and walked very far until they reached the mountain that had grown to more than ten feet high.
The hill turned into a small boulder in the distance, and then it stopped.
A few people sat down on the green grass.
The swordsman glanced into the distance, then couldn't help but look at the green grass beside him. He lowered his head and pinched a piece of grass, and then said to Song You: "It's a coincidence that when Shu arrived in Nanhua, he randomly found an inn to stay.
It’s the house where Mr. and Empress Sanhua lived.”
"But Jingfu Inn?"
"Exactly!"
The swordsman couldn't help but find it interesting when he said this: "Sir, do you still remember Nan Hua's soup cakes?"
"Of course I remember."
"When Mr. left, did he say that he wanted to eat there again in the future?"
"It seems to have been said."
"Then it's true that Mr. Lai is full of praise for it."
"That's true."
"It's just that your husband doesn't know that after he left, the legend of your husband was spread throughout Nanhua County. The shop owner of Jingfu Inn even named his soup cake, Shenxian Noodles. I heard that there are many people in Nanhua City
Many restaurants selling food have begun to follow suit and renamed the soup cakes as fairy noodles." The swordsman couldn't help but smile, "I heard from the innkeeper that the county governor had been newly appointed before, and he had come to Nanhua specifically to hear his fairy stories.
, I had a bowl of soup cake at that Jingfu Inn."
"That's interesting."
Song You couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe I'll go back to Pingzhou later, sir. When I pass by Nanhua, the streets and alleys in the city are all selling soup cakes." The swordsman said this, then paused, "By the way, Shu remembered that before leaving.
The mountain god of Pingzhou once asked Shu to bring him a message."
"Um?"
"The mountain god said that this mountain peak was given to you as a gift and does not need to be returned. However, the old road in Pingzhou is becoming more and more deserted now. He asked you to remember to go find him and have another cup of tea when you pass by Pingzhou in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded next to him——
"Bitter and bitter..."
Upon hearing this, the swordsman immediately lowered his head and looked at Mao'er.
The cat was also looking up at him.
One person and one cat seem to feel the same way.
"That's natural."
Song You laughed and said slowly.
This mountain god is both coarse and fine.
Assume that this mountain will suppress the Snow Demon King here for five hundred years. During these five hundred years, the mountain god will naturally have continuous incense. If it wants to return it, it will naturally only be these five hundred years. If there is no need to return it, the Snow Demon King here will
After the king no longer needs the suppression of this mountain, the mountain god can still continue to enjoy the incense of the people of Hezhou, maybe for thousands of years.
It's just that there are cares and concerns, and favors are real favors and cannot be faked.
Song You owes Pingzhou Mountain God once.
I would like to have a cup of tea again in the future.
"Then have you heard from the store owner about the nunnery outside Nanhua City?" Song You continued to ask.
"I've heard about it." The swordsman understood and said immediately, "I heard that there used to be several nuns in the nunnery, but now they are no longer in the nunnery, and the nunnery is abandoned. But I also heard that Mr. Li Daguan is going to
We spent money to convert the nunnery into a nunnery, and also used the fields as a school field. Now some of the nuns are weaving their own cloth, and some are doing small businesses in the city, selling pickles."
"The fabrics painted by Nan are outstanding."
Song You glanced at the calico cat next to him.
It's a pity that Empress Sanhua is a calico cat today. After she realized the magical power of changing clothes, she never wore the three-color clothes made in Nanhua. However, Song You still kept the small clothes and kept them in the store.
Under the quilt bag, reluctant to throw it away.
Later, when Sanhua Empress transformed into a human form, her clothes, no matter how thick or thin, were basically in three colors, and the styles were similar to Nan Hua's three-color clothes.
I thought of the cloth and Sanhua Empress's little clothes, and then I thought of the pickled rapeseed flowers that night.
"The pickled rapeseed flowers in Nanhua are also special. When you go, the rapeseed flowers should be in bloom. There is a person in the nunnery who does a good job."
"Then I missed it." The swordsman smiled, without much regret, and continued, "That Li Daguan became a well-known philanthropist in Nanhua County. His family opened a cloth shop, specializing in treating poor people in the city.
He brought women to work, treated them well, and made good cloth. People from all over the country came to buy cloth and were willing to buy it from him. It turned out that he had an official position in the county, and I heard that the new county magistrate not only didn't mind
Although he had done wrong things before, he actually valued him very much and was somewhat courageous."
"It's also a good thing."
Song You said this, feeling very emotional in his heart.
Things in the world are really unpredictable. In just four years, old things and people have changed.
During the time we were talking, the mountain in the distance had grown a bit, but now it was already very big, and since it was far away, the growth rate was not as shocking as before.
It's quite obvious.
The sky slowly darkened.
The grass demons have subdued, the snow has melted, and the grass has emerged from the soil. However, the birds and animals still have not returned to this place for a while, and the night is silent.
There is still a cool feeling in the Heyuan in February.
Song You hadn't slept for a long time, and now he fell down, wrapped in a felt and a blanket, and slept soundly.
He couldn't even bear to disturb his dreams.
When I woke up, it was early in the morning, and the sky was not bright yet. It was still dark above my head and to the west, but there was light in the east. Almost as soon as I opened my eyes, a ray of morning light shot out, slanting from the edge of the flat land.
Shooting towards the sky above, it is a vibrant red.
The morning light slowly went down, staining the stone mountain.
Overnight, a towering and majestic rock mountain appeared on the land ahead.
