The sky is green, the lake is also green, the white clouds above the head are small and condensed, small groups are blown into a string by the wind, reflected in the lake, the wind blows the grass, it is very beautiful.
But it didn't seem to be a good place for fishing. He sat there for a long time, the fishing line rippled constantly, and there was constant movement in the lake, but not a single fish was caught.
However, after half a day, someone suddenly came.
The visitor was also a fisherman, but he looked very strange.
He looks to be in his teens, with a tender face, spotless hair, delicate facial features, and lively eyes. Even a daughter of Zhizhou Mansion would not be able to maintain such a good life.
She was wearing three-color clothes that were slightly worn and faded, and embroidered cloth shoes that fit her feet perfectly. She took a small fishing rod that was about the same length as her body, and randomly caught a bug as bait by the lake. She was very casual.
He sat down on a stone by the lake and threw the hook bait into the water.
And chatted with him.
Nowadays, the world is very unsettled, and even the imperial court is in chaos. There are many legends of monsters and ghosts both inside and outside the city of Yundu. Those stories that were spread among the people and came from hundreds of years ago are beginning to be staged today.
This gentleman has also heard many rumors about monsters. When he saw this little lady, he felt that she was not an ordinary person. What's more, this place is quiet and deserted, far away from the village. Usually no one comes, let alone such a watcher.
It's not easy to go up there, but young lady, coming here must be unusual. I have also heard that vicious demons often disguise themselves as old, weak, women and children, and murder people. Therefore, it is impossible to judge whether good or evil is good or evil based on appearance alone.
It was impossible, so I became more and more uneasy.
It was just that the young lady was the first to speak to him, but he was afraid of irritating her, so he didn't dare not answer, and he didn't dare to leave easily, so he had to deal with it while thinking of ways to escape.
The young lady first chatted with him. She talked about the fish cooked in stone pots that had become popular in Yundu City in the past two years. She sounded like she liked it very much. The young lady did not let down her guard, but told her truthfully that she was a man who came to Yundu Tea from the west.
It was brought by merchants from Ma Hu City. Because it was cheap and easy to use, many fishermen in the fishing villages around the lake imitated it, and gradually it spread to the city of Yundu.
The young lady was very interested and asked him where to buy stone pots. He mustered up the courage to answer that there were many for sale in the West Market, and the prices varied depending on the material of the stone pots and the carving skills.
The young lady was overjoyed and planned to carve a few of them and sell them in the Western Market.
Normal people rarely talk like this.
While we were talking, the little lady had already caught three fish, two big and one small. The male fishing rod was still calm.
After that, the young lady asked him where he could grow sugarcane and sell it, and whether the recipes for slender rice noodles and spicy and sour fish had been spread here. He spoke strangely, as if he was very organized, at least for a normal teenager.
Children are not as good as her, but their words are very jumpy and do not resemble ordinary people's thinking. In addition, she is young, appears suddenly, has been to the city and to Xianning, and has not been accompanied by adults, which makes this man feel even more.
She is by no means a normal person. On the surface, she interacts with her casually, but in fact, she is secretly vigilant and refuses to relax easily.
The young lady told him not to be afraid.
The public denied: Why is a certain person afraid when he comes here to fish?
The young lady replied solemnly: There is a smell when people are worried, and some animals are good at smelling this smell.
The man was so frightened that he almost dropped his fishing rod.
However, the young lady told him that she was not a bad person and had no ill intentions, but she also liked fishing. She came here to fish a few years ago. Now when she visited the old place again, she saw a fisherman, so she came over to talk to him and asked him for some advice.
The problem is, if he is scared, he can leave now.
This gentleman is doubtful and does not dare to believe everything.
Then the little lady told him that the height of his bait was wrong. It was too low. The current group of fish in the lake swam higher, and they all swam over his bait, so the fish in the lake could not come and go.
You can't even see his bait, so you can't catch any fish.
There has been algae in recent years and the lake is completely green. How can we see fish?
The public knew that she was extraordinary, so he took back the fishing rod and adjusted the float. Not long after leaving it behind, the float became black. When he pulled the rod, he saw that he had indeed caught a fish.
With great joy, all worries are gone.
Immediately, the two chatted happily.
The young lady's tone was innocent, her eyes were confused, and her expression was very serious. She claimed that she had come from afar to travel around the world and asked him about the monsters and ghosts in Yundu.
In recent years, there have been more and more incidents of demons and ghosts in Yundu. Some are harmful to people, and some are not. It is said that demons and ghosts appear frequently in some places, but because they are not harmful to people, after the locals confirmed this, they gradually
Some people are even used to it. When they encounter monsters and ghosts, they are like animals. They just scold them and drive them away, and they will not be scared out of their wits.
And if there are demons and ghosts that are harmful to people, there will naturally be people who can get rid of them.
There are one hundred and eighty people inside and outside Yundu City who exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons. Some are masters of spiritual practice in palaces and temples, some are strange people among the people, some have skills passed down from family, some learned from apprentices, and some were taught by passing gods and masters.
.If we say the most diligent person, he is definitely a person in the city. He acquired his skills from a passing deity a few years ago. Since then, he has made a living by killing demons. In the past few years, he has become famous and has an excellent reputation among the people.
Even sometimes when evil spirits and ghosts cause trouble and the local people have no money, he is willing to go there.
The two talked very happily.
It wasn't until a long time later that the little lady got up with many fish in her hands and told him that she was leaving.
The man asked her name.
Answer: Cat Taoist.
When the young lady left, the man was sitting alone by the lake, still feeling strange. Looking back on today's experience, he felt like the stories recorded in ancient books about strange things that he had heard when he was young. However, the world has changed, and such stories are no longer the same.
It started to really happen to me.
It wasn't until the wind by the lake became more and more noisy that the man felt a little cool and looked at his fish basket, which was enough to exchange for a drink, then he got up and walked back.
Halfway through, I suddenly remembered——
According to rumors in Yundu, a young man in the city acquired his skills from a passing deity and was told by the deity to conquer demons and eliminate harm for the people. It is said that there was a girl beside the deity who loved fishing.
Could it be that the gods came back to monitor?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Who knows that what is happening now will become a long-lasting story in people’s ears hundreds of years from now?
…
The grass beside the lake is lush in summer.
Far away from the lake, the grass forest was flattened, and a very old felt was spread on it. A Taoist lay on his back, staring at the white clouds in the sky, his eyes fixed on it.
The lake breeze can be blown here, and it is very pleasant when it passes by the face. The grass is disturbed by the wind, and the rustling sound also makes people calm. At the same time, it is some distance from the lake, and you will not be disturbed by mosquitoes by the water. You can relax here
Lying down and watching the clouds is such a magical day.
Suddenly the grass swayed.
The girl holding the fishing rod and the fish came back. When she saw the Taoist, she looked at him a few more times and then asked:
"What are you thinking about, meow?"
Song You usually asked her this kind of thing.
"I didn't think about anything."
"Nothing to think about?"
"I just feel a little strange and a little unreal."
"Why isn't it real?"
"Yesterday morning, we were still in the Western Region. The snow-capped mountains at the foot of Tianjin Mountain were vast. Today we arrived at Yundu, Yunzhou. It is thousands of miles away, with endless mountains and rivers, and we crossed it in one fell swoop."
"Well……"
The girl was still holding the fishing rod and fish, tilting her head to stare at him, as if she wanted to say something, and seemed to feel a strange trance because of his words. After a while, she turned her head to the other side.
, said to him in a serious tone:
"Sanhua Empress's crane is very powerful!"
"Of course." Song You said to her, "Thousands of miles of heaven and earth are restored in one day. Empress Sanhua's magic power is getting better and better."
“Ten thousand miles of heaven and earth will be restored in one day!”
"yes……"
The Taoist turned to her and smiled: "Ordinary monsters, except for those with wings themselves, before they become great monsters and master the escape technique, even if they have practiced for much longer than Sanhua Empress and have a much higher level of Taoism, they will not be able to do anything like this.
The Sanhua Empress can travel thousands of miles in one day like this."
"It's the crane that's so powerful!"
"Sanhua Empress's crane..."
"..."
Sanhua Empress stared at him for a while, her eyes flickered and then changed the topic: "Sanhua Empress just followed what you said and went to find someone to ask. That person, that person from Yundu, still often comes here now.
The local demons are eliminated, and only the monsters that harm people are killed. They are very obedient and seem to have become more powerful. Well, they must have become richer."
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."
"You're welcome!"
Sanhua Empress came over and put the fish down, looked at the swallows standing on the reeds, stretched her neck, and looked at the noise coming from somewhere in the grass. Then she sat down at the Taoist's feet and began to tell him about herself.
I just went fishing at the lake and met the fisherman. The fisherman looked worried and frightened and talked about interesting things while we waited for the sunset together.
The Taoist stayed here for several days.
On the one hand, it satisfies Sanhua Empress's fun of fishing, and on the other hand, she also goes for a walk around the beautiful scenery of nearby mountains and rivers.
A few days later——
Bujun Road Chuan, there is a cloud pond above the dam tree.
It's just that the Yunchi where Sanhua Empress was fishing refers to the large lake outside Yundu City in Yunzhou. This Yunchi is a deep pit formed by white clouds on the high mountains. It was once the residence of the real dragon.
It turns out that the real dragon once said to him, "I'll lend you some strength between heaven and earth." Song You originally thought he was referring to the aura of wood that had turned into the dragon's heart, but he also felt it when he left Bashu Yunchi.
The dragon left a lot of aura in Yunchi Dragon Pond, just like when it breathed out a breath of dragon, it was full of vitality and could turn thousands of mountains green again and bring spring to the earth. However, at that time, he only felt that this was just a real dragon in the pond.
The things that are naturally left behind after living for a long time, even if the real dragon leaves them specially, are probably left to this world and the mountains and rivers to benefit the local people.
Now that I think about it, it was probably specially left for him.
It is left to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, but it is left to a broader piece of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. It is to benefit the people, but it is to benefit more people.
True dragons come from ancient times and have been around for a long time. They certainly don’t know that there is an ancient god in the Heavenly Palace named Tianzhong Ancient God, also known as Tianzhong Emperor and Tianzhong Emperor. He has a death bell.
This is also some of the strength he lent to Taoists.
