"Oh sir, I'm so sorry, the shop really can't even sleep in the firewood shed! Recently, there were a lot of people from all over the world came to the Liujiang conference outside the city. Not to mention the reverse travelers in the city, they were just the chicken feathers outside the city.
The shops and temples are full, and many Jianghu people just find an alley, build a bunk where there are pavilions, and use the sky as a cover and the ground as a bed for the unpaved ones, and just make do with it."
Song You asked for a long time and received a lot of rejections.
Maybe it's because there have been so many people asking for rooms recently, and some people are annoyed by the questions. They don't have to be perfunctory, but they also lose their patience.
However, the last shopkeeper was kind-hearted. Seeing that he was a Taoist, he talked a lot with him and finally said, "But if you really don't want to live on the street, I can give you two ideas."
Song You immediately bowed and saluted:
"I have an ultimatum."
The title has also been changed.
Tong'er looked at him again.
"Go outside the city."
Song You shook his head secretly.
"I wonder if I can take a look at the ultimatum..."
"My master is still well."
"Everyone, think about it. If some martial arts masters came with swords and swords, they could stay in the temple. Our temple would be full of people already... Do you really think that you came early?"
Song You pursed his lips when he heard this, lowered his head and looked at the cat.
So he replied in a low voice:
At this time, there was already a burst of footsteps inside the door, from far to near. When the door was opened again, there was no longer a crack.
The Taoist temple is neither big nor small. It has a courtyard wall and a banner on the top of the mountain gate with gilt calligraphy: Dragon and Snake:
There are many people who love cats these days, and even many people in the world who dare to fight and kill have fallen in love with the cat's sweet voice and soft body. Empress Sanhua is so beautiful that Master Kong praised her for being extraordinary.
I don’t know how many people turned around for her. Some raised their eyebrows and flirted with her, and some even stretched out their hands to touch her. Sanhua Empress can actually smell the kindness of people, but after all, she is not a pet cat, and she has lived alone for many years. She does not like these strangers.
I still feel uncomfortable with teasing.
"Don't practice martial arts."
Go to Jiao Temple!
Look around the mountain gate again:
"Invite him in quickly!"
"You heroes must know that you hold a conference in Anqing every five years. Many Jianghu people come. How many famous sects are there, and how many Jianghu masters are there? Have you ever stayed with anyone?"
Several Jianghu people thought about it carefully, and their faces suddenly turned green and white. They looked at each other several times, found a place to talk, and then turned around and left.
"Distinguished guests, please come in."
"So that's it..."
But the child was young, but he was not easy to scare.
Just like a few Jianghu people at this time.
"Master, there is a Taoist priest outside the door. He says he is not a martial arts practitioner, but that he has traveled to Yizhou and is a descendant of Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain in some county..."
"...We usually close the mountain in the morning so that we can sleep until we wake up naturally."
"My surname is Song, and my courtesy name is Menglai. I practice at Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou. I traveled here and saw that the city was overcrowded, so I wanted to stay here."
"What do you mean? You are a very brave boy!"
"Please ask the store for advice."
"This disciple read the ultimatum and this is what it says."
One person and one horse walked towards the east city.
"What view?"
He muttered to himself, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
When Song You saw the old man's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head secretly in his heart.
It is unimaginable that an old Taoist priest at such an old age would be so absent-minded.
Comparing the two, it is more difficult to stay overnight in Zoujiao Temple, but the accommodation conditions are obviously better and cleaner. It is still early today, so naturally I should try my luck in Zoujiao Temple first.
After knocking on the door and asking for accommodation, they clasped their fists and bowed, and their words were polite and polite. However, when they found that others were still unwilling to let them stay, they felt a little unhappy and unfair.
, I felt that I was being treated politely, but the other party did not treat me politely. I felt that I was being despised, so I wanted to ask for an explanation.
"Junior is polite..."
"Do you have a code number?"
Tired of giving in, the Taoist priest happened to turn around and asked her if she wanted him to hug her. She thought about it for a moment and then jumped into his arms.
The little boy looked him up and down and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a cat in his arms, and had a delicate and fair face. He didn't look like a Jianghu person, so he didn't rush to close the door to avoid him knocking again, and just asked:
"What's the matter, Taoist Master?"
I seem to have gained some comfort amid my regrets.
"My name is Qingyangzi, have you ever heard your master mention it?"
That old man must have been very good-looking when he was young.
I was thinking in my heart, without affecting my appearance, and respectfully handed over my hand:
Turned around and returned to the street.
After all, it is still rare for women to travel around the world these days. If they are not skilled in martial arts like Wu Nvxia, or they are as talented as the old Taoist when they were young, they must have something to rely on.
I had long thought that my master or ancestor might have been to the Jiao Temple before, but I also set the chance very low in my mind. Who would have thought that not only had I been here, but I also seemed to have a deep connection with it.
"...Junior has always had a bad memory."
So I could only say: "The Taoist practice of a Taoist priest is naturally far beyond that of a poor Taoist. It's normal to not find it, and it's normal..."
"Exactly."
"...Sometimes the mountain is closed in the afternoon, sometimes it is not. Even if it is not closed, most of them can only be visited by pilgrims from the foot of the mountain. In short, in these years, I have never seen Master's old friend visit."
Seeing this booklet, Tong'er remained calm, opened it and looked at it carefully, then handed it to him and said, "Let me report it to the master first, and then the master will make a decision."
"It's my master."
Song You thanked him, looked up, and saw an old Taoist walking towards him quickly, with an anxious look on his face.
"Fulong Temple."
Then he said: "Is your Taoist temple closed? I went to Yin Yang Mountain to look for it in the early years, but found nothing."
"what's your name?"
The little boy walked behind him first, wanting to lead the horse for him, but found that there was no rein. He was stunned for a moment, then waved the air to cover up his embarrassment, and said to him: "Brother Taoist, just put the horse in the courtyard.
If you don’t bring a rein, you don’t need to tie it after all, right?”
Some people are sensible, know how to measure, know how to advance and retreat, know what can be done, what cannot be done, and how to do things in the world. They pay attention to it from the inside out. Some people pay attention to just following the rules. The reason why they pay attention to it is just
If you want to get equal rewards from others, if you fail to do so, you may change your face.
"She...is she okay now?"
Leaving the city from the east gate, there is a view not far away.
"Come on, come on!"
It is true that Master rarely told him about his early travels, but based on the few things he heard and the details accumulated over more than twenty years of getting along with him, he could probably guess some things.
"You are the descendant of Fulong Temple?"
"The second is the Zoujiao Temple outside the East City Gate. The master of that Taoist temple has a bad temper. Many people from the Taoist temple come to seek shelter, but he doesn't accept it. I heard that some followers of the Taoist temple who travel from the Jianghu community come to ask for a place to stay, but he doesn't accept it either. The guest official, on the other hand,
You can try your luck, maybe the temple owner will answer the question."
Taoist priests generally do not call themselves inferior.
So this emphasis is divided into two types.
"Song You, Zi Menglai."
Song You just thanked the shopkeeper profusely.
But I'm not surprised.
There was no need for Song You to knock on the door, as several Jianghu people had already arrived here and wanted to stay here.
"First, the guest officer went to the nearby people's homes to knock on the door and inquire. Some smart people who did not have women at home now made beds in their homes and sold them to those Jianghu people to live in and make money." The shop owner is a man.
Only older people have such patience, "Besides, my guest is a Taoist gentleman. He is no better than those Jianghu people. Even if he meets ordinary people and says a few nice words, he meets people who are kind-hearted or who believe in Buddhism and Taoism."
So I let you live here."
It seems that Song You's previous guess was right. The temple owner of Zoujiao Temple is not merciless, but he just doesn't like the rough people. As for some of the descendants of Taoist temples who are called Taoist temples but are actually martial arts sects, Zoujiao Temple may think that they are involved in the world.
If it is too deep, or because of martial arts practice, Taoism and Dharma practice have been neglected, so I don’t like it either.
"A martial arts practitioner or a Taoist?"
At least it's not just him, but all the old friends.
The cat was afraid of being stepped on, so he stood on the horse.
"I dare to ask the store owner, what is the second method?"
"Are you really a Taoist priest?"
The calico cat raised her head and looked at him doubtfully. Although she didn't speak, her expression made it seem like Song You heard her voice.
Unknowingly, Tong'er's tone became more polite.
Most Jianghu people are sophisticated, but they are also crude.
There is no selflessness in heaven and earth, and you will naturally gain blessings by doing good;
The sages and sages have the education, and if you cultivate yourself, you can bring order to your family.
When you pass by Song You, you can't help but take a few more glances.
The viewer seems to be inside and can hear voices.
"oh……"
"Thank you, store owner."
There are still people coming and going.
Someone asked him if he didn't leave because he wanted to receive a cold face. Song You just smiled and waited until they were far away before he stepped forward and bowed.
Maybe the visitors to Jiao Temple just don’t like those Taoist descendants who are too closely involved with the martial arts? Thinking again, Anqing is so picturesque and famous that the Liujiang Convention has been held for more than 20 times, and it has been calculated over more than a hundred years.
Two Fulong Temple masters have been born and traveled. Maybe they have been here, maybe they have attended the Liujiang Conference, and they have been troubled by the problem of where to stay.
"Do you know Taoist Daoxing!?"
At once both parties benefited.
Qingyangzi suddenly showed a disappointed expression.
"Yin Yang Mountain Fulong Temple?"
The old Taoist horse pulled him inside and told Tong'er to prepare a delicious dinner for Song You.
"Frequent?"
The tone is gentle from the inside out:
"The Taoist priest is polite."
"No code yet."
"Taoist temples often close up the mountains and hide away."
"But Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County?"
So Song You took out the ultimatum and handed it over respectfully.
"What about this afternoon?"
Qingyangzi was filled with regret again.
He is good-looking, has a profound moral character, is outgoing, loves to make friends, is not bound by worldly affairs, and does not care about officials, ghosts and gods, so he makes friends everywhere.
She was already in her old age when she returned to Taoism. Her appearance had faded, she was stubborn and refused to live longer, and she was too proud to see people. So she lived in the mountains for a long time and rarely went out. Later she figured it out and no longer cared about these things, but at this time she fell in love with her.
I have lost my loneliness and spend most of my time alone, talking to mynas, sleeping or doing other things I like to do. I love spending time with myself and have entered a new realm.
Fairies and fairy dust are inseparable from each other.
It's just that the road was long, stretching from north to south, and I didn't know how many people's youth was missed.
