The cat had already turned over and stood up, holding the cloth ball in its mouth, staring up at Song You. After he dismissed the mountain goblins, he opened his mouth, put the cloth ball down, and said to him: "Winter is almost over!"
"Yeah?"
"It's the coldest time."
"..." Song You thought for a moment, "Why didn't Empress Sanhua say anything about the cold weather?"
"..."
The cat was also stunned, but he couldn't understand why this person's focus was so strange, like a cat, and then he replied: "The books say it's winter! People say so too!"
"I see."
"Why did you sit for so long this time?"
"There is business of course."
"It's been a long time..."
"But for it, it's just a snap of a finger."
"Who is that?"
"God, the great road, the world, you and me."
"Can't understand."
"forget about it."
"I brought you persimmon cakes."
"Thank you..."
Song You had already seen the persimmons in front of him. He was also covered in thicker clothes than in autumn, and snow fell on his shoulders. Yunding Mountain had already turned into a winter look, with yellow eyes everywhere and a bleak atmosphere.
Snow has a different charm.
So I picked up the persimmon and ate it slowly.
The Huojing Liuxin Persimmon Cake has a bit of a taste like the one I had in Hezhou.
There was some faint movement in the distance, and through the flowing clouds and mist, we could see that there were many people gathered on the other side of the cliff. They were all wearing thick winter clothes, breathing white, and seemed extremely excited.
"Sure enough, it was a lot more lively..."
The Taoist smiled and couldn't help but sigh like this.
"There are a lot of people over there. Every day, many people climb here along the iron chain, trying to get over, but they can't get any closer, so they go back." Mao'er walked to him with small steps.
"I know."
"The swallows say you won't let them crawl over."
"It just makes the iron rope longer."
"Longer? How long?"
"Almost as long as the limit."
"how long?"
"Some people are a hundred feet tall, some are one mile tall, and some are five miles tall. Everyone is different."
"Why?"
"Why……"
Song You stopped and thought for a moment, then said to her: "This mountain does not belong to us. We should not occupy this mountain and delay autumn and winter for so long. But there is nothing we can do.
It is very important that we need to stay here for so long. However, there are many people who come here to seek immortality. If someone has outstanding perseverance and wants to cross the iron rope, his will to win here is extremely strong. Naturally, I can't do it no matter what.
Block them with magic."
"Then they are coming?"
"Will Sanhua Empress and Yanzi entertain them for me?"
"Well……"
The cat didn't answer, but turned its head and looked at the cliff below, the clouds and iron ropes in the cliff.
For months, no one could get past it.
Just then, after the Taoist finished eating the persimmons, a small black spot appeared on the horizon, and swallows came riding the wind.
"Are we leaving then?"
The calico cat raised its head and asked him.
"Got to go."
"Where are you going again?"
"Luming Mountain seems to be on the edge of Pingzhou. Unfortunately, I didn't go to visit Pingzhou last time. I'll ask Empress Sanhua to take me to see it this time."
"OK!"
Cat agreed without hesitation.
Empress Sanhua took him there...
Empress Sanhua likes this statement.
…
On the other side of the cliff, there are many tourists.
Not only did the people of the world not stop at the foot of the mountain because of the cold wind in the mountains in the cold winter, but because gods really appeared on Yunding Mountain, something strange happened, more and more people came to look for the gods after hearing about it, so many that they no longer had to worry about the wild beasts in the mountains.
, roads cut off by heavy rains and flash floods this summer and collapsed mountains are no longer a problem, and even the cold in winter is no longer a problem.
Tourists walk in groups, and tigers and wolves have to avoid them.
There are no roads in the world, they are all made by people. When the road is broken, another one will be found. When the mountain collapses, a new direction will be found.
When there were more tourists, the fishermen and villagers at the foot of the mountain and the vendors from Shizu County, Changsheng County nearby, all sensed business opportunities and came here to rent paper quilts and sell roasted sweet potatoes, boiled oats and other fresh food along the way.
Nowadays, people who come here to seek immortality and seek enlightenment no longer need to experience the hardships and tribulations of the past. As long as they are healthy, have ordinary perseverance, and are not squeamish, they can climb the mountain with money and walk up the mountain. Many people have been here before.
People in Yunding Mountain couldn't help but sigh: Can we still find immortals and receive their blessings in this way?
Until today——
When the clouds and mist cleared, people could faintly see that the immortal on the mountain in the distance finally moved.
He seemed to stand up.
People naturally cheered.
For several months, the immortals have been sitting on the mountain, motionless, for the whole autumn and winter. If it were not for the magical power of the iron rope, people would never be able to cross it again. It is like the work of gods. People even have to wonder who has successfully passed the iron rope to fool the world.
of sculpture.
Nowadays, when the god moves, across the cliff iron chain, elegant people salute him, and pious people kneel down to worship him, all trying to attract the god's attention and pray for his favor.
It is best to take yourself to the sky with you, and from then on you can be at ease and enjoy the bliss of heaven and man.
The clouds and mists are misty and uncertain, and the fairyland disappears and appears.
Not long after, people saw a crane that was as big as a palace and pavilion flying from nowhere, carrying the immortal. The clouds were thick and misty, making it difficult to find. The crane lightly stepped on the top of Yunding Mountain and flapped its wings leisurely.
But it fanned up the turbulent clouds and mist, and flew lightly away from the top of Yunding Mountain.
Went to the depths of the distant white clouds.
The clouds and fog between the cliffs have also descended, no longer covering the mountains on the other side. Although the iron rope is still obscured by the fog, the other side can still be vaguely seen clearly.
…
Luming Mountain is one of the four famous Taoist mountains. It is located at the junction of Pingzhou and Yaozhou. It is quiet and somewhat remote.
When Song You visited Pingzhou, the location of Luming Mountain was too remote. Like Yeshan Mountain in Fengzhou, it was almost "alone". If he wanted to go to Luming Mountain, there were no scenic spots or beautiful scenery along the way, so he walked with Song You.
The direction of the road was in the opposite direction, and the enlightenment on Yunding Mountain took one night and one year, which delayed a lot of time. At that time, there was an old friend's appointment waiting for the Taoist in Changjing, so he did not go to visit.
Not really a pity.
Zhenshan, which is as famous as Luming Mountain, the Taoist passed by for the second time before going to have a look.
The world is infinite and life is finite, so we should make choices.
It's just that when I walked through Pingzhou, I didn't know that the Imperial Master came from Luming Mountain, nor did I know that he would be involved with the Imperial Master in the future. There was even an evil Taoist named Mu Shou who he had met once, not to mention that he had nothing to do with them.
Whether it's a friendship or not, whether it's an old friend or not, there's something involved, so I want to come and see him even more.
I want it more than the real mountain.
What's more, the Taoist is about to take action against the ungrateful gods on the road to heaven and the heavenly palace. This is an upright matter and cannot be done secretly. Naturally, the gods in the heavenly palace must be informed.
We must not only inform the virtuous gods, tell them that Fulong Guan's descendants intend to do this, explain the reasons, and explain the consequences. We must also inform the ungrateful gods that Fulong Guan is going to attack you.
If you have the intention to fight, please be prepared first. If you don't have the intention to fight, and you think you are the one who will suffer, please accept your fate.
Things on the great road have always been fair and aboveboard.
Luming Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. There are hundreds of orthodox Taoist temples in the mountain, large and small, enshrining the most comprehensive gods of the entire Taoist system.
In the past few months, Yanzi has not been idle. In addition to being forced to talk, meditate, and practice spells by Empress Sanhua, Yanzi often traveled around the world and took a rough look at the routes in all directions of Yunding Mountain just like Empress Sanhua went out to hunt and play.
All over.
This is actually a reflection of his carefulness——
When the Taoist wanted to go to Luming Mountain, Sanhua Empress no longer had to stop and ask for directions. She only had to fly the swallow in front and the white crane behind, and she could go straight to Luming Mountain.
Say goodbye to Yunding Mountain in the morning.
In the afternoon, we went to Fengtian Temple.
Naturally, the Taoist did not drive a crane directly, as that would be too ostentatious and impolite. Instead, he stopped in the deep mountains behind Luming Mountain like an ordinary Sanhua Empress asking for directions, and then walked forward.
Luming Mountain is a big mountain, with front and back mountains, and the tops of the mountains are one after another. There are many Taoist temples in the mountain, some big and small, and there are also many hermits in thatched cottages. Fengtian Temple is the most famous in Luming Mountain, and it is famous for its staff and counselors.
Well-known, ever since Chang Yuanzi was born and became the national preceptor, his reputation among Taoists in the world has completely surpassed that of the Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain and Zhen Mountain.
Although the current national master Miao Huazi did not practice at Fengtian Temple in Luming Mountain, he studied under the previous national master, which can be regarded as the inheritance of Fengtian Temple.
Therefore, as Luming Mountain was built again and again, it became more and more luxurious. Even though it was far away in the mountains, there was still an endless stream of people coming to offer incense, perform divination, and seek knowledge. Its liveliness was not inferior to that of the Taoist temple in the city.
Song You was dressed in an old white Taoist robe, carrying a sash, carrying a cat and a swallow, and stepped into the gate of the Taoist temple.
As usual, someone came to greet him.
The person who greeted him was a young Taoist priest. Maybe there were too many Taoist temples on Luming Mountain, and Taoists often came to visit Fengtian Temple. Maybe Fengtian Temple was too famous, and Taoist priests often came from other places. Seeing Song You was unfamiliar, his attitude was...
Rather than being respectful, the etiquette is also a bit perfunctory: "What do you call the Taoist priest? Where do you come from? Who are you coming to see?"
"My surname is Song Mingyou. I come from Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou. I came here to visit your temple because of your fame. I would also like to ask fellow Taoists to inform you."
"Yin Yang Mountain Fulong Temple?"
The young Taoist priest was stunned immediately.
As expected of Fengtian Temple, who is well-known for his knowledge of astronomy and geography, his proficiency in deductions and calculations, and his ability to govern the country, yet a young Taoist priest actually recognizes Fulong Temple.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
The young Taoist priest bowed deeply and walked quickly inside.
Not long--
"Boom!"
The deafening bells to welcome guests rang in Fengtian Temple.
Pilgrims and tourists on the mountain, even those from other Taoist temples deep in the mountains, were all surprised when they heard the welcoming bell from Fengtian Temple.
All the Taoists in the temple came out to welcome Song Yu.
"I didn't know that Taoist Master Fulong Guan came to visit, so he was not welcomed from afar." An old Taoist said with a salute, "Zhu Chengzi, a poor Taoist, is the current temple master of Fengtian Temple."
"My surname is Song, and my given name is Menglai. I don't have a Taoist name for the time being." Song You responded politely, "The temple master is very polite. I just happened to pass by Pingzhou and wanted to find a Taoist temple to burn incense. Remember Pingzhou.
There is Luming Mountain, and there is Fengtian Temple on Luming Mountain, which is where the former imperial master practiced practice, so he came to visit because of its fame."
"When your Majesty arrives, the flowers will shine brightly."
"The national master and the temple master are..."
"Pindao's master and junior brother Chang Yuanzi's master are brothers from the same sect. Pindao and he are also from the same sect. It's just that Pindao's qualifications are dull and he is no more advanced than junior brother Chang Yuanzi."
"It's polite..."
Zhu Chengzi, the master of the temple, had a calm face, but felt uneasy in his heart.
Fengtian Guan is famous for his divination. Although he is not as capable as the Imperial Master, he can easily see through most things in the world. However, when he meets some people and things and deliberately seeks them, he can sense them secretly. However, at this moment, standing here is this Taoist.
In front of me, not only could I not notice anything, but if I peeked for a moment, I felt my head hurt.
It really deserves to be Fulong Temple.
A person who is like a true immortal in the world.
What made Zhu Chengzi even more uneasy was that many years ago, he had gone to Changjing, visited Chang Yuanzi, and talked with him on the Star Observation Tower.
Chang Yuanzi once said two things to him:
First, if he dies in a few years, he will probably die in the hands of the successors of Fulong Temple.
Not long after that, there was no news about the imperial master in the world or in the court. At first, everyone said that he had gone into seclusion to practice Taoism. Only a few Taoists in Fengtian Temple knew that this genius in the temple had died.
Secondly, when this generation of Fulongguan descendants come down from the mountain, they will definitely rebuild the Heavenly Palace, probably within twenty years of coming down from the mountain.
