Summer and autumn are the hottest times for socializing.
It was a good thing that Song You came from Zhaozhou Hanzhou before. Even in midsummer, most areas there were not hot. The temperature was very suitable along the way. Now that they entered Guangzhou, it was getting hotter and hotter.
The advantage is that it is becoming more and more crowded and prosperous, making it much more convenient for a group of people to provide supplies and accommodation.
Sometimes there is no need to cook and find water by yourself. There are tea stalls every few dozen miles on the official road. In addition to selling tea, many also sell pancakes and steamed buns to satisfy your hunger. Occasionally you see a stall selling wontons or soup cakes, which can make you happy.
The whole day can be considered lucky. Although in this kind of weather, as long as it doesn't rain, you can find a flat place and you don't need a blanket. Just spread the wool felt on the ground and you can sleep happily all night. Look at the uniqueness of this era.
The clear starry sky shines brightly during the Qingming Festival, but you can often find temples where you can stay overnight and chat with people from all walks of life.
This feeling is a bit like that time when I just came down the mountain and walked in Yizhou.
It happens to be another summer and autumn social gathering.
However, Taoists have changed a lot since then.
I have experienced far more than before.
At this moment, the Guanma Avenue is full of green trees, with clear light and dark. The branches and leaves are reflected on the road. A person, a cat and a horse are walking through it, and the light and shadow on their bodies are constantly changing, giving them a sense of trance.
There were a lot of people walking around, including caravans, postmen, and wanderers. It couldn't be called a steady stream, but you could see a group after a while.
The bells of horses and mules jingled, accompanied by the sound of hoofbeats, and from time to time someone scolded and snorted.
The Taoist was walking on the road when he suddenly heard a slight voice coming from behind him.
"There is a gentleman..."
With an obvious childlike voice.
Song You turned around and saw that there were several Jianghu people leading donkeys. There was a boy sitting on the donkey. The voice came from the mouth of a boy on the donkey's back.
The adult holding the donkey turned and glared at the boy, seeming to tell him not to make a fuss, and seeming to accuse him of attracting Song You's attention or disturbing Song You, for fear of causing trouble.
"Be polite..."
Song You smiled at them.
The Jianghu people looked away from the boy. Seeing that Song You was gentle and polite, they also smiled. Not daring to lose their etiquette, they held the reins and handed over:
"Sir, you are polite."
"Where are you guys going?"
"Go to Wushan."
"Are you going to Wushan too?"
"Sir too?"
"yes."
Song You smiled brightly.
I looked at these people again. The adults were either wearing swords or carrying sticks, and they all looked like wanderers. Almost everyone was leading a donkey. If two people were holding it, they looked like a couple. Each donkey carried a donkey on his back.
There is a child, big or small, mostly boys, who are of the right age to practice martial arts.
I heard that Shu Yifan founded a sect in Wushan, Gwangju. Firstly, he wanted to pass on the swordsmanship inherited from his family, and secondly, he did not want the Thunder Swordsmanship he had learned to be passed down.
That is a living master of swordsmanship.
With Shu Yifan's current fame and his willingness to leave his own legacy, it goes without saying how attractive he is to martial artists.
I think it was probably taken with me to learn skills from a teacher.
However, along the way, the number of people who went to the Wushan Thunder Sword Sect to learn from their masters still exceeded Song You's expectations.
"What did you do, sir?"
"Going to visit an old friend."
"Oh? Sir, you have an old friend in Wushan?"
During this period, people from all walks of life kept looking at him.
Some people were simply curious and doubtful, while others seemed to have heard some rumors and felt that this man's dress was similar to that of the gods in the story, but they were not sure, so they whispered.
When Song You walked to the mountain, he saw someone leading the children to register, and a steward was in charge of registration.
It is true that Shu Yifan was alone when he parted ways with Song You, but people like him were just willing to be alone when they were young. Now that they have reached their thirties, they are ready to start a sect once Wu enters Taoism.
The idea of establishing a faction, whether it is money or people, will naturally gather.
The manager admired his style and found him himself.
There are also some martial arts warriors in the sect, most of whom were formerly idle martial arts masters. They have long been acquainted with Shu Yifan in the martial arts world, and now they are attracted by their reputations. Shu Yifan knows that they are of good character, so he stays to help him.
Song You quickly arrived at the mountain gate.
The door is brand new. Through the door, you can faintly hear the shouts of young people practicing martial arts and sword practice. The steward just asked two young people to take the newly registered children down. When he turned around, he saw Song You.
"Sir, this is..."
"My surname is Song, and my name is You. It is an old acquaintance of the great hero Shu Yifan, so I am polite." Song You said to him, "I am passing by Guangzhou now and I heard that he founded a sect here. I came here to visit. I wonder if it would be convenient for the manager to inform him.
"
"Mr. Song!"
The steward was stunned for a moment.
Then he opened his eyes wide, uttered an ouch, and hurriedly handed the book to the person next to him, welcoming Song You in with a great gift.
"The headmaster has told me a long time ago that when your husband travels around the world and comes to Guangzhou, and hears the news that he founded the Shanshan sect, he will probably come to look for him. If he comes, he must be treated with great courtesy," the steward said quietly as he spoke.
Looking at Song You, he thought that he had heard the rumors about the Taoist and the swordsman, and in his heart he only regarded the Taoist as a god. When he saw his eyes, he immediately lowered his head and said, "The villain's surname is Luo. He is from a relative of the headmaster."
I am in charge of the affairs of the outer sect. I admire the style of the master and devote myself to the master. Now I am in charge of the food expenses, accepting disciples and entertaining guests, registering and registering and other chores."
"It turns out to be Manager Luo."
Song You returned the favor and walked forward with him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the boy he had met on the road. He was standing in the yard and was being groped by an older warrior. He turned around and looked at the Taoist.
"I wonder where Master Shu is now?"
"unfortunately!"
Manager Luo immediately looked embarrassed, but did not dare to say that Song You's arrival was unlucky. He just said: "Some time ago, I heard that there were demons in two places in Guangzhou. I am afraid that they were not removed last year. At that time, they were either hiding or the season was wrong.
, now it has appeared again. After the leader heard about it, he rushed forward to get rid of the demon."
He paused and said, "Just... four days ago... we just set off four days ago."
"Not in the door?"
"Yes." Manager Luo didn't dare to look at him more because he had heard stories in teahouses before about people who didn't have good horoscopes and looked at the gods and their eyes were hurt and their lives were shortened. "Mr. Song must be unaware of something. Before that
It took the head of my family half a year to kill almost all the demons in Guangzhou before he was able to establish a sect here. Later, he made an oath that as long as the head and the sect are here, Guangzhou will not be disturbed by the demons..."
"I see."
Song You nodded, understanding.
After entering Taoism through martial arts, he was able to maintain peace, which was worthy of his perseverance and the swordsmanship he learned from the sky thunder.
"Where did Master Shu go to slay the demons?"
"There are monsters in two places in Guangzhou. One is Jiyan County in the north, which is four hundred miles away from here. It is said that there are insect monsters that are causing harm to the crops. The other is Jinhe County near Hezhou in the west.
It's probably six to seven hundred miles away from our place. It's said that there is a tiger monster in the mountains, which eats countless people and accumulates mountains of bones." Manager Luo said it was even more difficult, "The leader only took some luggage, and then brought his horse and sword.
And when I went out, I didn’t say where I was going first, I just said I would come back after getting rid of the demon.”
"Ah……"
Song You couldn't help but smile.
Counting the last time we were apart, it has been a year and a half. Even though Daxia Shu has a Shanmen, he still has the same character.
But, this is troublesome.
