Chapter 65 Taoist Priest Mao Juzi and Priest Xanthia
Chapter 65 Taoist Master Mao Juzi and Taoist Xianguzi
Tailor shop in the city.
Song You had regained his composure and stood in front of an old woman, gesturing for her to make something similar to a trousers and sew it on the quilt bag.
"About this big..."
The old grandma squinted her eyes and looked carefully, then took out a ruler to compare: "It's bigger than the robe."
"Yes, don't be too peaceful."
"Sir, do you want to install large items?"
"yes."
“How big is the object?”
"perhaps……"
"Meow~"
"I don't call you Zi."
"Taoist priest."
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Cough cough cough..."
The bay-red horse stood quietly in the front yard, with a quilt on its back. The Taoist priest in the temple stood beside it, and the Taoist temple remained quiet.
"Guanghuazi!"
"must!"
"Don't talk nonsense, cough, cough, cough..." the old man coughed repeatedly, "tell what you want to say."
The person who subdued the water demon was a wandering immortal. He looked young and followed a bay-red horse without a rein. He also brought a calico cat with him. He was very spiritual. He didn't even get into the water. Apart from this water demon, if he is not a god,
It is hard for anyone to believe that he descended to earth. Now one hundred thousand people in Lingbo County are preparing to build a temple for him, and they will erect it at the reopened Lingbo Ferry to express their gratitude.
The little girl was waving a bamboo pole wildly, walking side by side with him, turning to look at him.
…
"And cocklebur."
"It will stick to the fur and won't fall off."
Song You smiled and followed him out.
Only then did Song You realize that she was talking about a plant fruit.
"I have no idea."
"Now I'll say goodbye."
Especially people from the Xishan Sect.
…
Looking back, the green hills have become blurry, the Taoist temple under the green hills has also become very small, the bamboo forest behind the house has become a mess, and the figures of the Taoists have long since disappeared.
The girl was stunned immediately and turned to stare at him.
"So what?"
Just the fact that it is not drawn from north to south has already caused a lot of trouble.
"Fellow Taoist, walk slowly!"
But this map and the maps of later generations are two different things.
"Understood."
"Be polite."
A little girl was also standing in the bamboo forest, squatting down, holding a small bamboo as thick as a finger, and was breaking it left and right, shaking the bamboo in circles, trying hard to pull it off.
.
"However, I am traveling down the mountain this time. After all, I have to say goodbye to all my Taoist friends. I feel reluctant to leave, but there is nothing I can do about it. There are wonderful things about fate gathering and separation, so I won't go into details." Song You paused and took a look.
The youngest boy in the crowd looked at everyone again and said, "After the journey down the river, if you travel to Lingquan County in Yizhou, you can come to Yin Yang Mountain to find me. I will treat you well."
When I came here today, I walked around the bamboo forest, looked around, touched and touched, carefully selected, and compared many times, and finally selected one.
The girl took the bamboo, but she still squatted on the spot, staring up at him without speaking.
"Um."
"Can."
"Sewn on the horse's quilt bag?"
"how?"
The little girl added another sentence.
Song You couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look at her dilemma.
Then he held the bamboo and slowly moved it up, and the small branches on it fell off one after another. He gestured at the appropriate length, pinched it again with his thumb and index finger, and the upper half was broken off neatly.
Xuzhou should be close to the southwest of Dayan. If the map goes north to south, it will be slightly lower left in the middle. If you go directly north, it is not far to Changjing. Considering that you have to walk back for a while, and Changjing is only for Song Dynasty tours.
One of the passing points is not his destination, so it is not worth going directly.
"right."
The old grandma waved her hand confidently.
The mountains are rolling and among the houses.
You have to rely on your own geographical knowledge to distinguish.
Song You has been interested in them for a long time.
The tiger's mouth got stuck at the root of the bamboo, but no movement was seen, so it was easily taken out.
"Well?"
Then go north, and finally go west, making a circle in this way, walking through a few more states, and then finally to Changjing.
After walking for half a moment, Song You slowed down and took out the book "Yu Di Ji Sheng" from the back of his horse.
First go to Pingzhou and visit Yunding Mountain.
"dislike!!"
"Thank you, ancestors..."
"what you do?"
"etc."
"I……"
It was morning, and a wet morning sun had just risen to the top of the mountain, blurring in the place where the mountain fog met the sky clouds. I walked slowly with a stick, and saw green mountains ten miles away, and the road was flat and sandy.
It seems that she has been tortured by these two things before.
"That's the palace owner of Fuqing Palace."
The little girl also held the bamboo stick and said goodbye to them, then turned to look at Song You and said as she walked:
"Qingyangzi!"
I don’t know what kind of landscape and people lie ahead.
"Mao Juzi."
So he squatted down next to the girl, held his hand just above the fold, and then released his hand. Silently, a neat break appeared in the bamboo, as if it had been split by a sharp blade.
When Song You lowered his head and took a look, he understood, so he simply picked up the cat and showed it to the old lady:
Song You smiled and walked over.
Song You took it and looked at it again and again, and was very satisfied.
"Where is it?"
Professionals do professional things. Song You fully trusted the skills of the old craftsmen, left a deposit, agreed when he would bring the quilt bag for sewing, and left with the calico cat.
It is a very rough map. It only draws the general shape of the country and states, and marks where the states are. Nothing else can be seen. What is the specific climate of each state, what scenic spots are there, and where are they roughly located in the state?
How to get there is explained in words at the back, and sometimes small pictures are attached. Although you still have to ask for directions, it is already a big help.
Song You withdrew his gaze and only looked at the road ahead.
"Sanhua Empress."
"We are already full of friendship, so why send it further away."
"I……"
"I'll be a crutch."
"Put it on."
There are bamboo forests inside and outside the courtyard.
Sanhua Empress said: "You asked the temple master, and I also asked the temple master, and he said he allowed me to take one."
A few days later.
All the Taoist priests quickly returned the gift.
Open the first page, which is a map of Dayan.
Song You smiled again, took a handful of it and cleaned it up for her as before, then handed it to her and said, "Do you want to learn the simple and wonderful use of the gold method? Once you learn it, it will be easier to chop wood."
"
There shouldn’t be much of these two things, right?
The young man turned around and walked out.
The young man stood there, his eyes filled with confusion.
The young man still stood respectfully in front of the old man.
"What is it?"
"What are you doing breaking the bamboo?"
Song You walked out of the Taoist temple with the bay horse and the little girl. As expected, the Taoist priests stopped at the door and did not go far to see them off. He only gave them a final salute, said no more, and turned to leave.
A cat tugged at his robe.
"Why are they all called Zi?"
"I want to take it on a long journey."
"Sir is gone..."
Sanhua Empress stopped moving and looked back at him.
But now I have learned the art of fire for a long time, practiced it in the morning and evening, and practiced regularly in the morning and afternoon, but I have only just been able to spit out open fire. Even so, I have already shouldered the heavy responsibility of lighting the fire.
The little girl shook her head quickly with a firm voice.
"Ancestor..."
"I want to... go see Mr. off..."
Therefore, he planned to continue going south until he left the Xuzhou border and then headed east.
If it had been before, she would definitely have learned it.
The little girl tilted her head and thought for him:
"You're not smart."
"oh……"
But it's spring now.
"What's your name?"
Song You could see a lot of disgust and vigilance in her expression.
Maybe there is still time to meet again, but it is already ten or twenty years later. Even if the landscape does not change, people are no longer young. I don't know Song You at that time, so how can I know how he will feel?
It's just a piece of scenery during the journey, but I still can't help but sigh.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.
So I wanted to go outside.
There are not thousands of miles to travel, but there are still eight or nine thousand.
The old man coughed repeatedly, paused his crutches, and made an old voice: "I'm telling you to be bolder. I'm not asking you to fight for the world and revitalize our clan. Do whatever you want. Ahem, cough, cough. I just want you to be bolder when you meet someone.
When you want to do something, you can have the courage to do it. It should be your own thing. Don't throw it away. Make your voice louder and less likely to be looked down upon. This can save a lot of trouble... It is not impossible for timid people.
, it’s just easy to miss a lot of things.”
"In recent years, Taoists are called whatever is popular in their Taoist titles, while literati are called Taoist."
"Then you're going to miss it."
It’s just that outside the courtyard are ordinary bamboos, which are mainly practical. Inside the courtyard are a kind of garden ornamental bamboos. They are neither thick nor tall. The bamboo joints are dense. They feel smooth to the touch and have a hard texture. They should feel like strong bamboos.
One kind, perfect for making bamboo sticks.
So there was only one bamboo stick left, which was just the right size to hold with one hand. The bamboo joints were extremely smooth, as if they had been polished. The whole body was straight and the length was just right. It was as green as jade in the sun.
"..."
The Jianghu people who were still in Anqing County were all surprised after hearing this and thinking carefully about what they had seen in the past few days.
"Have you never seen Mao Juzi?"
The bamboo was only as thick as a thumb, and it had been broken by her. The folds had been tortured into disfigurement, but the bamboo was tough and unstoppable.
"Sir is an expert. If you think he is good, just go with him. It may be your chance. Regardless of his Taoism or cultivation, in short, you will live a happier life." The old man said with a pair of cloudy eyes.
Staring at him, "You think about it yourself."
Looking back——
The Taoist priest told her that burning more fire would help her practice.
Song You got Qingyangzi's permission and came to the backyard of the Taoist temple.
Swallow has almost learned the flying skills. In addition to gaining more skills, he also gained a novel experience and a new perspective, and gained a lot of insights.
"ah?"
"Do you like it very much?"
"Break the bamboo."
"I can not……"
"I'm sorry."
Song You put the book back into his quilt bag.
Song You bowed his hands and then stepped forward.
It was also today that news came from Lingbo County to Anqing County, saying that the water monster that had been causing trouble for several years had been killed. The corpse floating in the river was at least ten feet long and several feet wide. If it weren't for Liujiang
That section is wide and deep enough that it really can't be accommodated.
"What are you doing breaking the bamboo?"
Song You walked over with a bamboo stick and saluted everyone sincerely: "I have been here for more than half a month, and thanks to the hospitality of all Taoist friends, it has been the most comfortable period of time along the way. I can't thank you enough."
Song You stopped where he was for a moment and looked at it a few more times.
Maybe I will never come back here again. This moment is the last moment I spend with this landscape, and this look is my last look.
At this time, the waterway has been opened, and there are no more water monsters causing trouble.
The girl's eyes turned left and right, she pursed her lips, and without saying a word, she picked up the bamboo stick and turned away.
Maojuzi is the ghost needle grass, also known as follow people and sticky clothes flower. The fruit is a group of dark brown short needles that can be stained on clothes or hair.
Thorns stuck to clothes or hair are more difficult to remove than thorns, especially on hair.
"What is Mao Juzi?"
It's time to leave too.
In the end, he only said one sentence: "I will give you one more ride, take you out of Xuzhou, and I will come back."
