Chapter 677 Breaking down the temple to welcome Thunder Lord
"Thank you very much for the guidance from the Mirror God." The Taoist bowed respectfully to the Mirror Island Lake God. "I've been interrupting you for a long time, so it's time to say goodbye."
"Thank you Mirror God for your guidance!"
The cat next to him was doing other things. When he heard the Taoist's words, it was as if part of his instinct had been awakened. He immediately turned his head and imitated what he said.
"I don't dare to give advice, it's just an exchange with old friends." Jingdao Lake God said for a while, and continued to look at the Taoist, "I heard that there is a saying in the world that there are four ounces of weight, but you have to use force and skill to the extreme. The Taoist priest's current attainments are still not very advanced.
, I only learned one move, and my strength is even weaker, but I still have to think clearly and choose it appropriately."
"Thank you Mirror God."
The Taoist looked very calm and said to him: "I'm probably just entertaining an old friend once. Since I am an old friend, I happen to have a place in my memory that is suitable for entertaining him."
"That's best."
After the Mirror Island Lake God finished speaking, he pursed his lips and said no more on this topic.
"We took our leave."
"Let's take our leave!"
"You two, walk slowly."
Jingdao Lake God said this, bowed to the Taoist priest in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then said something else: "It seems that the outside world is already at the junction of summer and autumn. It is the most beautiful time. I remember the Taoist priest many years ago.
When I came here with Empress Sanhua, I walked around the lake and slept in the lake. Now it happened to be at this time. The Taoist priest must have been bored underwater for so long. He must have been bored in the past few months.
You should be a little tired when you learn how to create dreams in your dream, so why not rent a tent boat and park it on the lake for a day, or find a place with thick reeds on the shore and sleep for a night in autumn before leaving?"
"Is it autumn again?"
"Exactly." Jingdao Lake God said, "The weather is just right today, neither cloudy nor sunny."
"If that's the case, after you go out, you should really walk around the lake, relax, and enjoy the scenery before leaving." The Taoist knew that the scenery around Jingdao Lake was also unique, not inferior to Yunding Mountain, but he also knew
The God of Jingdao Lake thought so, so he added, "However, time is limited, so it is not advisable to stay here for too long, just moor the boat and sleep in the autumn."
"The Taoist priest has already stayed here for three months, so why rush for one day?"
Jingdao Lake God's tone and expression were very calm: "It just so happens that as a lake god, I have not been on the shore for many years. I have completely forgotten what it feels like to walk on the shore among the autumn scenery. I have even forgotten the boat mooring on the lake for many years.
It has never happened before. If the Taoist priest feels that it is boring to swim in the lake alone, and if the Taoist priest is willing to accompany his old friend for a swim, I will ask the maid to get a painted boat, which can be regarded as a farewell to you."
"The Mirror God is in the lake. If you want to go boating on the lake or play on the lake shore, when can't you do that?"
"My spiritual conduct is shallow and my spiritual power is low. I am safest only in the lake. When I reach the shore, my magic power drops sharply. In the peaceful years, there were princes and officials, generals and warriors. In troubled times, there are fairies, ghosts, and heretics. It is difficult to escape easily from anything.
How can you have fun if you are worried? Just don't go there. Only if you have a Taoist priest with you can you feel at ease."
"..."
These words can be said to be too sincere.
But the Taoist thought about it again and again, and declined politely: "The Mirror God is kind-hearted, and if there is another opportunity, I will make a decision to visit the Mirror God again, and then swim on the water and lake shore with my old friends."
"well……"
Jingdao Lake God shook his head and bowed again:
"Taoist Master, take care."
"The Mirror God also takes care of himself."
The Taoist also saluted him solemnly.
"Mirror God, take care!"
The cat also saluted him.
The mist is rising and the ripples are coming.
A man and a cat have arrived on the lake.
Sure enough, it’s autumn again.
The reeds on the shore have already sprouted snow-white spikes, which look fluffy and soft. They are blown in the same direction by the wind, and look like a blanket from a distance.
The loess path by the lake is very dry, and fallen reeds have occupied a lot of the road. However, no one went to cut them down and help them. They only let them decorate the road at the foot of Yunding Mountain and Jingdao Lake, and they were overgrown with weeds.
It is a good weather with the sky full of fish scales and broken clouds. The sun shines on the earth and Jingdao Lake. The light and darkness are intertwined. It is so beautiful that it is dreamy. You can get the sun without feeling too hot. On the contrary, there is a breeze. In this situation
Walking on the lakeside path in cold weather gives you a comfortable and comfortable feeling.
Not to mention that the Taoist has been underwater for three months.
The Taoist carries his luggage and walks with a stick.
The cat crawled slowly, following him, looking around while crawling, stopping to observe from time to time.
"We have Mao Juzi!"
A cat's voice came from behind.
"yes……"
"Mao Juzi should all die!"
"Autumn is dead."
"It will grow again next year!"
"Everything has the right and reason to exist."
"Can't understand."
"Not only Mao Juzi, but also Xanthium angustifolia."
"Yeah! Really!"
The cat was immediately frightened.
I wish I could breathe fire and burn them all right now, or transform into a human being and beat them all to death with a stick.
"Miss Sanhua, do you still remember the past?"
"Miss Sanhua remembers a lot of the past."
"We came here for the first time. In the second year of Mingde, we were socializing in summer and autumn. We were walking by the lake, just like now. We stayed on the mountain for a year. In the third year of Mingde, we were also socializing in summer and autumn. Just like now, we were walking slowly.
The same is true at Jingdao Lake and along the roadside. The reeds are full of flowers and are white and fluffy."
"..."
The cat was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, stopped and stared up at him, and then slowly crawled to follow:
"I seem to remember..."
"Eighteen and seventeen years have just passed."
"Eighteen years, seventeen years!" Cat's eyes widened, "It seems like a long time!"
"Miss Sanhua, we should go east."
"East!"
"Boundless Mountain."
"But it's getting dark!"
"Then just find a place to rest for the night."
"knew!"
"Canopy..."
In the afternoon, the extremely calm lake surface was really like a mirror, reflecting the islands and sky clouds. A huge crane spread its wings and flew gracefully across the lake surface, and was also reflected in the lake surface.
…
Before I knew it, it was getting late.
There is a ruined temple among the wind-filled mountains.
"Crackling..."
A few square stones were built into a simple stove. The firewood burned and made a crackling sound. The fire light came out from the holes in the small stove and made obvious light marks on the walls of the ruined temple. The sound and light of the flames were heard.
The warmth of the place is reassuring, especially when paired with the sound of the wind outside.
There was a small pot on the fire, with thick bubbles coming out of it.
There is a faint aroma of fermented wine, and a strong sweet aroma. Between the bubbling water, you can see a small round ball as big as your little finger, as well as a few red dates and wolfberries, embellished with color.
The cat lay beside the firelight and slept peacefully.
The Taoist sat cross-legged against the wall, holding a handful of yellowed cockleburs in his hand, and placed the cockleburs side by side along the cat's head to the neck, then to the back, and finally to the tail, forming a line.
.
"Hiss..."
The cat sniffed, opened its eyes, raised its head, and looked at the glutinous rice dumplings in the pot.
Then he turned around and looked at the Taoist priest:
"Isn't it better yet?"
After saying that, I felt weird.
He turned to look at his back.
"Meow!"
The cat jumped up as if facing a formidable enemy.
After landing, he stared at the line of cocklebur on his back, then turned to look at the Taoist, only to see that he was approaching with a cocklebur, about to put it on himself, so he jumped again and jumped farther away from him.
.
"What are you doing meow?"
Cat stared at him and said.
"Quite fun."
The Taoist smiled slightly, put down the cocklebur in his hand, picked up the spoon from the side, stirred it in the pot, and said to her: "It's ready to eat."
"?"
The cat was stunned on the spot.
Look at the glutinous glutinous rice dumplings that he scooped up and put into his own small bowl. The glutinous rice balls are big and cute. They look like they were specially prepared for her. They look delicious.
Then she turned around and looked at the long list of cat-born enemies on her back. It was the first time in her life that Sanhua Empress was so entangled.
"Crackling..."
I don't know how much time passed, but the flames were still burning, and the firelight shone on the walls of the ruined temple, illuminating the temple with shadows.
The sound of wind outside became more and more shrill and permeating.
The calico cat finally cleaned up its coat of cockleburs, and finally finished eating glutinous glutinous rice dumplings. It was clean, its belly was full and warm, with the firelight shining on it, and having Taoist people by its side, it was pure bliss for a cat.
At this time, she was lying on her back on the ground next to the fire. The Taoist reached out with Xanthium in his hand. She raised her hand high and patted his hand lightly and quickly, as if she was fighting with him.
"Snapped……"
A drop of rain fell.
There was faint movement outside.
The cat stopped, stood up, stopped playing with the Taoist, and walked a few steps quickly to a position farther away from the fire and closer to the door, looked out, and turned back after a long time:
"It's raining outside."
"knew."
"There seem to be monsters in the mountains."
"Ignore it."
"The temple seems to be leaking."
"It doesn't matter."
"Well……"
Mao'er sat down on the spot, with his back to the Taoist and the rain outside. He suddenly became quiet, as if his mood was changing very quickly.
After sitting like this for a long time, she came back and said to the Taoist: "Before eating just now, Sanhua Empress had a dream, and she dreamed that we were by the lake before."
"Yeah?"
"The lake is almost the same as today. We still walked the same way, but we walked farther. We walked around the lake." Cat said to him, "But there are no horses today."
"It's already the autumn of the ninth year of Da'an. If nothing else happens, we still have one year before we can return to the Taoist temple and see the horses."
"It's raining today, will the horses get wet?"
"Ms. Sanhua is thinking about this." The Taoist said with a smile, "Horses are very smart and can take shelter from the rain. And if it rains here, it may not rain in Yizhou. Just like it is cloudy here, but we never
It was a sunny day when we set off from Jingdao Lake."
"right……"
"right?"
"You can go home in one year, nya?"
"Maybe……"
This sentence actually made the Taoist feel dazed for a moment.
Returning to Fulongguan is also considered going home, right?
Although that is not where I come from.
The world he is familiar with is still far away, even a relatively similar world is still far away in the future, and the basis for this Taoist temple itself to be called home has left him.
"well……"
It should also be a place of peace of mind.
A place where you feel at ease is home.
The Taoist stroked the cat's back.
The cat turned his head back to see if he had a cocklebur in his hand. When he saw it, he turned his head again and moved all the cockleburs on the ground around him into the fire using the technique of retrieving objects from the air.
He looked at the Taoist with twinkling eyes and felt relieved.
"Pap..."
A drop of water seeped down from the roof and fell in the temple.
"It really leaked!"
"It doesn't matter..."
"If we hadn't walked in the lake today, we wouldn't have gotten wet."
"yes……"
If I had not left Jingdao Lake today, I would have either fallen asleep in the boundless autumn scenery by the lake, or slept peacefully on a painting boat in the lake. It seemed that either way would be better than now.
However, it cannot be like this——
If the Heavenly Palace is really as Song You guessed, and the Emperor of Nothingness is invited to come forward, the Emperor of Nothingness actually incarnates into four gods. Among the four gods, he has no fear of illusion, greed, or fear. The one that poses the greatest threat to him is this.
He is a dream god. If his guess is true, he has been hiding in the lake for three whole months, hiding in the dream of the mirror god. He cannot be found in the heavenly palace, and the dream god cannot enter his dream. If they had found it before today
When you are ready, you should have been looking for yourself for a while.
The God of Mirrors is indeed quite chivalrous——
The reason for asking the Taoist to stay for one night should be to keep the Taoist by the Jingdao Lake. Relying on the attainments of the dream world, he could either help him or protect him from defeat.
As for the reason, maybe it was that we spent three months together under water and gained some friendship with old friends. Maybe it was because we waited day and night and roughly saw what kind of person Song You was. Maybe we believed what Song You said and were willing to believe him.
It is really possible to make the addiction of baby girls never happen again.
All in all good intentions.
However, although the God of Mirrors has profound attainments in the realm of dreams, she herself is shallow in practice and has low divine power. She is far inferior to the God of Dreams and inferior to most of the righteous gods in the Heavenly Palace. How can she be allowed to take risks in person?
"I'm sleepy down here..."
The Taoist shook his head and said with a smile.
He lowered his body a little, found a comfortable position, leaned against the wall of the ruined temple, and squinted his eyes. It was a cold autumn day, and he could sleep in the ruined temple listening to the rain, regardless of the sound of wind and rain outside and the prying eyes of monsters.
"Boom..."
There was another thunder.
The lightning branched countlessly, reflecting the shape of wind and rain, the sky was white, and the mountains became silhouettes.
The ruined temple stands alone in the wind and rain.
