Chapter 513 There is a cave in the Qingtong Forest
"Taoist priest..."
"how?"
"When you turned into a swallow, you couldn't open your mouth, meow?"
"..."
Song You suddenly became calm and stared at her silently: "What does Empress Sanhua want to do?"
"nothing!"
The little girl answered without hesitation.
The expression is sincere and convincing.
"After turning into a swallow, naturally you can't open your mouth and you can't move your body." Song You said leisurely, "Miss Sanhua, don't do anything random."
"just asking……"
"That's good."
"Then if you don't eat rat porridge, what will you eat?"
"There were two pancakes left from yesterday."
"The pancakes won't taste good the next day."
"As long as you can satisfy your hunger."
"The rat porridge cooked by Sanhua Empress is delicious, half bacon and half rice porridge, hot, salty and flavorful!" The little girl started to sell him seriously, "And Sanhua Empress's bacon mice are peeled off.
I cut off the tail and head and washed it thoroughly. Everyone said it was delicious!"
As he spoke, he glanced at him quietly from the corner of his eye, as if to see if he was tempted.
However, the Taoist's expression was always calm.
"No need."
"Then what do you eat?"
"pancake."
"pancake……"
The little girl muttered and repeated in a low voice, as if she didn't understand it. Then she squatted down and added firewood to the stove and asked, "Then have you found the monster, meow?"
"found it."
"what did he say?"
"I haven't met him." The Taoist took out the pancakes, put them on the stove to warm, and replied calmly, "Have a rest overnight, and we will set out to visit him tomorrow."
"OK."
The little girl also started serving porridge.
The aroma of hot air enters your nose. Just the smell is much more tempting than the cold pancakes in Song You's hand.
…
Early the next morning.
Song You packed up his things early and moved down the mountain with the two little monsters.
Because in the past few days, a certain little thing has been running up and down, working tirelessly and bringing up so many things that he couldn't carry them all by himself, so the calico cat and the swallow both turned into humans to carry these things together.
Just move down the mountain.
"Let's go."
The Taoist put his luggage on the horse, then picked up his bamboo stick and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Behind you, Tianzhu Mountain still stands tall in the wind.
Go down the mountain and head north.
Hundreds of miles of intermittent green mountain roads, countless evil spirits and ghosts, almost no human habitation, a Taoist priest with a bamboo stick, a bay-red horse, a calico cat, and a swallow in the sky. When you feel sleepy, you can just find a shabby house.
Rest in a ruined house, light a fire and cook on the spot when you are hungry, drink from streams and springs when you are thirsty, climb mountains and cross rivers, just like a few years ago, walking alone on this barren land.
However, those who are full of heart often walk alone.
The Taoist did not feel lonely, nor was he afraid of monsters and monsters in the mountains. Instead, he quietly enjoyed the scenery and talked with the cats. Everything was fun.
Gradually we came to the north of Yuezhou.
There is still a heavy fog here, just like it was a few years ago, and just like what I saw from the air a few days ago, covering hundreds of miles around, making it difficult to distinguish the direction.
"Sir, the place where I couldn't fly that day seems to be the northeast of this Qingtong forest."
The sound of swallows came from beside me.
"It doesn't matter."
Song You stopped here, raised his head and stared.
That day when he looked down at the northern part of Yuezhou, the aura of this green tung forest had already been imprinted in his heart. What’s more, this time he came here not to look for the legendary bird or to see the unique scenery, but to look for it.
The great demon who secretly promotes the war in the north and uses the troubled times to practice cultivation is naturally different.
Then he took a deep breath, raised his bamboo stick, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then waved it.
"call!"
It's like holding a sharp sword and cutting the long whale straight into the sea. It's also like holding a command flag and blowing the wind with just one wave.
A violent wind suddenly arose between the sky and the earth. The wind was like a dragon. It rushed forward in an instant, but it did not harm any plant or tree. It only separated the fog miasma ahead and opened a clear road among the mountains.
"Ding ding ding..."
The horse bells sway.
The Taoist walked forward with his bamboo stick, the horses and cats followed behind him, and the swallows were flying in the sky.
The huge ancient Qingtong tree slowly appeared in front of them. Walking into it, the group seemed to have entered an unknown and wonderful ancient mythical world, but they seemed so small.
Even though we have reached the north of Yuezhou and entered the Qingtong Forest, we still have hundreds of miles to go to the northeast corner of the Qingtong Forest. Even though we roughly know where we were that day and the fog has cleared,
But if you want to accurately reach that small area in the vast mountain forest, you have to be more careful.
The group of people walked slowly and searched patiently.
A few days later, Song You finally found something unusual in this ancient and mysterious Qingtong forest.
At this time, a group of people stopped at the foot of a hill. Although it was a hill, in front of the huge and cloud-like ancient Qingtong tree, they could only reach the ankle of the ancient tree.
The calico cat stood next to the horse's legs, straightened up so that his eyes were higher than the weeds, turned his head left and right, shifted his eyes, and looked at the mountain in front of him with a serious face, turning his head to look at the Taoist from time to time, although he felt some doubts in his heart.
But I don't know where the problem is.
The swallow folded its wings and landed.
The mountain ahead is covered with gravel and looks ordinary, with ancient Qingtong trees growing next to it. However, the fog miasma around the mountain seems to be particularly thick and difficult to dispel than elsewhere.
There is a mystery here...
At this moment, the Taoist was seen stepping forward.
The horse followed suit.
A man, a horse, and the swallow on the horse's head all disappeared out of thin air after taking just a few steps.
The cat was startled when he saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
I saw a wave of water rippling before my eyes——
The hill that was covered with gravel just now and with mushrooms growing in the cracks of the rocks has disappeared. Even the ancient Qingtong tree next to the hill has disappeared, replaced by a piece of elegant green hills.
It is the kind of green mountain you encounter on the road. It is covered with ordinary grass and trees instead of huge ancient Qingtong trees. The mountain is covered with dead branches and fallen leaves instead of gravel and rotten Qingtong tree fruits. It is not shrouded in fog, and there is even a road between the mountains.
The clear stream rushes down happily, with the sound of gurgling water. Along with the rustling of bamboo and willows in the wind, a corner of the palace and pavilion in the mountain is vaguely revealed.
What an elegant and tranquil scenery.
What a beautiful fairyland.
Both the cat and the swallow opened their eyes wide.
Even Song You was a little surprised.
Who would have thought that in this tung tree forest that has grown for countless years, in this mythical land shrouded in mist and inaccessible to people, there is such a fairy mountain cave hidden.
"..."
The Taoist pursed his lips and continued to move forward.
Although Mao'er hadn't seen enough and hadn't had time to get familiar with the environment here, she saw that her Taoist priest had moved on. She was stunned for a moment, and she had to lower her head and take a few sips, then trotted after her quickly.
Go to the Taoist priest.
Then he walked and turned to look.
The scenery here is really beautiful.
Along the way, most of the mountain trees are bamboo and willow. Green bamboo grows on the mountain, and the bamboo forest is like the sea, and the wind blows the waves. Green willows grow near the stream, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down, swaying in the wind.
There are often fungi growing in the bamboo forest, most of which are chicken fir trees that Taoist priests like to eat. There are often piles of firewood under the willow trees. It seems that if you just grab it, you can sell it at a good price on Changjing Street.
There is a path up the mountain.
Although the path is a dirt road, there are carefully carved stone lanterns standing on the side of the road. They are all like miniature tall pavilions with tiled roofs and cornices. If you look closely, there are still lights on inside. Occasionally, there are also statues, if not in the sky.
A certain deity and Buddha in the world is a number of auspicious birds and beasts, all of which are carved lifelike and with great skill.
Going up through the bamboo forest, it is cool.
The wild bamboos are divided into green mist, and the flying springs are hung with green peaks.
There are occasional buildings along the road, mostly palaces and pavilions, all of which are beautifully built and simple, but no one lives inside.
Deer are seen when the forest is deep, and bells are not heard by the stream at noon.
"No one."
The cat raised his head and looked left and right as he walked.
"Miss Sanhua, please hold tight to me."
“There’s a lot of firewood here!”
"Don't touch it."
"Why meow?"
"Tighten closer to me."
"oh……"
The cat kept walking, getting closer to him, very well-behaved, but then turned to look into the bamboo forest: "There are many mushrooms growing in it..."
"Don't touch it either."
"Drink mushroom soup tonight!"
"No."
"Hey, there's a stone tiger here!"
"Empress Sanhua, please stay closer to me." Song You said, "There may be danger here. If someone attacks, we have to rely on Empress Sanhua to respond quickly and protect us."
"right!"
The calico cat suddenly became calm and looked back, going from a playful state to a serious state.
At this time, her eyes were like lightning, like a guard, walking almost closely to the Taoist's feet, turning her head as she walked, looking around vigilantly, not missing any corner or any slightest movement.
Suddenly I heard a bell.
"Boom..."
The bell echoed in the mountains, causing the group of people to stop immediately, and all looked in the direction of the sound——
"Boom..."
Another sound, long and profound.
The sound of wind came from behind the bamboo mountain in front, as if accompanying the wind or bringing the wind. With the sound of the bell, the bamboo forest was blown by the wind and bent down, as if to welcome the guests.
"snort……"
The Taoist chuckled lightly and stepped up.
After crossing the bamboo mountain, it suddenly became enlightened.
What comes into view is a strange and beautiful scenery——
There is a stone mountain in the middle, covered with green bamboos and pines, with exquisite pavilions and pavilions, cornices and tiles, surrounded by long corridors. There is also a waterfall falling straight down, like pieces of fine silk intermittent in the mountain.
Entering a stream below, passing through a stone arch bridge, it became the source of the stream we met on the road.
It's like a paradise on earth.
"Boom..."
The sound of the bell came from the pavilion on the top of the mountain.
Song You lowered his gaze and looked at the bluestone road connected to the small dirt road at his feet, and then looked at the stone arch bridge. After passing the stone arch bridge, there was the stone mountain.
There were people walking faintly on the mountain, and countless eyes came over to look at them.
"It's really beautiful..."
The Taoist smiled slightly, murmured to himself, then turned to the cat and the swallow and said: "Protect yourself, don't eat what they give, put your own safety first."
After saying that, I took a step forward and walked into this fairyland.
