"Sir, you don't want to stay as a guest, and I won't force you to do it. I just saw that your husband has brought quite a lot of things when he travels around the world, so I brought him a bamboo tube of white mushrooms, hoping that he would accept them." The third hall master took it.
The bamboo tube was ready to be shoved into the horse's back, fearing that Song You would not be affected.
Seeing this, Song You had no choice but to take it and put it into the quilt bag himself.
"Sir, don't underestimate this white mushroom. This thing is only produced in Yanzhou grassland in the north and a small part of our Yuezhou. It was originally supplied as a tribute to the palace. When there was peace with Saibei, the people of Saibei also used it.
Come and exchange something with us. These white mushrooms are extremely delicious, and the people in Saibei ask for a high price. Now that there is chaos in the north, I am afraid that the quantity in the palace will be reduced." The third hall master was afraid that Song You didn't know the goods and thought that they could just use something at Changqianmen.
I came to fool him and spread the word that it had a bad reputation in the world, "When you eat it, sir, soak it in water and eat it like mushrooms."
"Thank you, Third Hall Master."
The Taoist also smiled and said to the lame hall master: "The hall master has trouble with his legs and feet, so please send him here."
"Thank you sir, Spear Gate!"
"I would also like to thank Changqianmen for the hospitality."
When the third hall master heard this, he was immediately very satisfied.
The Taoist shook hands with him and went down the mountain.
The third hall master stood there and watched, waiting for him to go away before turning around and going back to his room.
After a long time, an old man came to him and asked him about the Taoist priest he had just sent away.
"Then sir..."
The third hall master was reading the letter again, so he also raised his head and said to him:
"It is said that he came from Yanzhou. He is from Yizhou. His surname is Song. He has traveled all over the world and dared to come here to fight in the north. I am afraid he has some skills. I picked up many letters from Liaoxin Pass on the way. They are, alas, they are all
I sent this to the disciples who were stationed at Liaoxin Pass before they died. You also know that most of the disciples in this sect have no fathers or mothers, so you sent it here. Unexpectedly, it didn't even arrive. Fortunately, it's here.
A gentleman picked it up when he was passing by and brought it over specially.
"I thought that if someone comes all the way here, I should entertain them for a few days, otherwise it will look like our Changqianmen doesn't entertain guests.
“As a result, people didn’t want to stay any longer.
"Just ask for a meal.
"I made a meal and entertained him well. I gave him some of the dried white mushrooms collected by the owner. It was not considered rude.
"What's wrong, uncle?"
The third hall master was even more surprised when he saw the old man.
"Come from Yanzhou? Your surname is Song?"
"Master Zhang, do you know him?"
"..." The old man looked thoughtful and said after a long time, "It was previously rumored that the immortal Taoist in Yuanzhi City brought a horse and a cat with him, and his surname was Song?"
"What do you mean? Master Zhang, are you saying that that person is the immortal master who helped General Chen kill hundreds of demons in the army?"
"I'm guessing too..."
"ah?"
The third hall master was stunned and immediately looked outside.
He groaned again, holding on to the armrests of the bamboo chair, trying to get up, but as soon as his butt left the chair, he sat down again.
I'm afraid I don't know how far I've walked by now.
What's more, it was fate that we met, it was fate that we met the Taoist who delivered the letter, and it was fate that we met the demon-killing immortal from Yanzhou. We met each other and talked for a while. I was not rude, so it was a good thing. At this time, I still returned the favor.
Why is there any need to catch up?
What can I say and beg for if I catch up?
This is good enough...
So he sat down again.
Now that I think about it, I have regrets and regrets, but they are not all regrets and regrets. If I look at them carefully, I find them interesting.
On the other hand, Uncle Zhang, who had never met that Taoist, was full of regrets and kept mumbling something. The third hall master listened carefully and heard what he was talking about. He roughly knew that it was rumored that demons were eliminated in various places in Hezhou last year.
It was also this immortal expert who worked with Divine Doctor Cai to treat the epidemic in Gui County.
Uncle Zhang likes to hear these things and likes to talk about these things.
I have long admired the characters in this kind of story.
It's a shame now.
…
A swallow flew from a distance, drew an arc in the sky, landed on the horse's back, and then said to the Taoist and the Sanhua Cat: "I just heard them talking about Mr. Sanhua and Empress Sanhua."
Before Song You could say anything, the calico cat spoke first:
"What are you talking about, Sanhua Empress?"
"Mr. Said and Empress Sanhua were on the border of Yanzhou, in front of the two armies, and killed hundreds of big demons in succession."
"Meow!"
The calico cat himself was startled.
Then he quickly raised his head high and stared at the swallow eagerly and curiously:
"What did they say?"
Yanzi didn't know what she wanted to hear, so after hesitating for a long time, she had to repeat what she had heard before in her own short language.
When Empress Sanhua heard someone boasting about herself, she was naturally delighted.
The Taoist's focus is not on this -
Yes, there are some truths that you don’t need to learn from books or other people’s mouths. When you get older and have seen more, you will naturally know them.
In fact, most of the time, rules are not pure restrictions, but more of protection. The current order is undoubtedly the best order for people in history. It is unclear whether it will be better in the future, but it was definitely not as good as now, and its
It is not easy to come by, so it cannot be easily destroyed and reverse the course of history.
"Sir." Yan Zi only looked at the Taoist, "Did you really kill hundreds of big monsters in the northern military formation?"
"Where do so many monsters come from?"
Song You walked in front and couldn't help but laugh and said, "There are only a few dozen of them."
"Then where is the gentleman in the snowfield?"
"Snowfield..."
Song You recalled the battle that lasted a long time and the demons in the ice and snow, and then said: "There are countless of them..."
When I think of the snowfield, I think of Guijun.
When I think of Guijun, I think of Dr. Cai.
Now nearly a year has passed, but I don't know where the miracle doctor has wandered off again, or whether he is in danger.
"well……"
The mountains are high and the water is vast, but it is difficult for a letter to be conveyed.
Song You shook his head and had no choice but to continue walking.
…
Gwangju, in a teahouse.
Doctor Cai still looks the same, with hair like three winter snows and a beard like nine autumn frosts, but the clothes on his body are another year old.
At this moment, the medical box and luggage were put aside, and together with the two apprentices, each ordered a bowl of cheap tea, plus the steamed buns bought outside, as today's lunch.
However, there was a storyteller in the tea house who was in a good mood. Many guests sat over and listened with great interest.
Doctor Cai is already old, and he was no longer interested in these stories, but now he is looking over there.
"The demon king next to the right wolf king shouted:
"What are you afraid of? That Taoist priest just killed a few demons, and he scared you like this! I have a demon general named Yuan General under my command, with three heads and six arms, and is taller than the city. With one fist, he can defeat you.
That Taoist priest who knew nothing about heaven and earth was smashed into a lump of meat paste!!
"Okay! Please invite General Ape to fight!"
"Hey! The right wolf king was also scared to death!
"The ape immediately accepted the order, but it was not the military order of the right wolf king, but the order of his own demon king, and he immediately went to Yuanzhi City! But he was not riding a horse. Whose horse can carry it?
"Good guy! What kind of ape general is that? It's clearly a black-backed gorilla, with three heads and six hands. It hangs down longer than the knees and can be dragged to the ground. It is said to be higher than the city. Hey, a little
It's a bit exaggerated. How tall is the city? Four or five feet high! It's shorter, also three feet!
"One hand holds the cold iron sword, one hand pulls out the beams and pillars to make wooden sticks, one hand holds the circle of heaven and earth, the other holds the divine whip, one hand holds the iron caltrop bones, and the other holds the golden full moon scimitar.
!”
The storyteller spoke vividly and gesticulated with his hands and feet from time to time, as if he was watching it with his own eyes.
"When they arrived in front of the formation, the demon was very arrogant and shouted at the top of the city!
"Hey! Demon! Come down!"
"The sound is like thunder!
"Then sir, of course you can't be afraid of him!
"Go to war immediately!
"Guess what? Such a big monster has not gone through three rounds under the hands of that Taoist priest...
"..."
It tells the story of Mr. Song who fought with demons in Yuanzhi City and killed 1,800 demons in a few days. It happened in the early summer of this year, and somehow it got out, and these storytellers immediately
With his good skills, he compiled it into a book and made a lot of money.
At first glance, one might think that this kind of story is one of those ancient fairy tales that have been circulated for a long time.
But it actually happened today.
How could so many listeners not be interested?
It sounds much more interesting than those novels. Even the Northern War with General Chen Ziyi as the protagonist more than ten years ago was not as touching as such gods and ghosts.
Don't say that those who often listen to the book don't. I heard that this story happened in the north this year, so I had to come and listen to it for a while.
Once I hear it, I can't live without it.
There are people in front of and outside the house.
Storytellers from all over the world also show their talents.
If you can get the news, you can try your best to find out. If you can find a few hairs, you can make up a tiger. If you can't get the information, go to other storytellers or even as far as other counties to listen.
With a little modification, it becomes my own. I can't even ask around or plagiarize from my peers. I just make it up randomly. I can also make something up with you, and it will look like that.
There is really no way——
Nowadays, as long as you tell the story of gods and demons in the north, people will listen to it. If you tell it vividly and vividly, people will reward it. If you don't tell it and someone else tells it, even regular customers will have to go to someone else's place.
However, it is rare for Divine Doctor Cai to come to the city, and this is the first time I hear about it.
It just sounded so surprising.
For a moment, I couldn't help but remember that a few months ago, when I had just walked from Hezhou to Guangzhou, I was at a tea stall next to the official road, listening to people from all over the world talking privately about the incident in Heyuan, Hezhou.
I heard that a god braved the snow and entered the snowfield on the first day of the new year. He fought fiercely with the monsters in the snow country for an unknown amount of time. Finally, he sent someone to borrow a big mountain from Pingzhou in the south. Pingzhou is thousands of miles away, so a big mountain like that is too big.
I don't know how it was borrowed, but it suppressed the demon king so much that he couldn't stand up.
The feeling then was almost the same as now.
I had to squint my eyes and listen.
This feeling is indescribable.
If I had to say it, it would probably be similar to what the gentleman said when we parted ways in Guijun——
Between heaven and earth, it is not easy to meet. From now on, we will travel around the world and work hard on the road. If we hear each other's stories in a roadside teahouse or a market in the city, we have met.
It was like seeing him.
Now I have seen him more than once.
However, it is difficult in the north, and I don't know if my news has reached there.
