Chapter 691 The taste of that time is still fresh in my memory
It was difficult to walk through the mountains and forests, and Song You was still weak, so he could only walk slowly with a bamboo stick.
Dongyang pointed out a general direction for him to get out of this mountain and sent him out for a while, but because he had never gone out since he came in, he was not very sure.
This place is about three miles away from where Song You meditated and rested last night.
Song You passed by there again.
After walking a few miles, a mountain monster appeared and brought him wild fruits and water. He respectfully sent him on his way for a while.
The mountain monster on the road told him that he was a spirit naturally raised in this mountain forest. This was his territory, so there were no other beasts or monsters to disturb him.
The cat came here many years ago. He saw that the cat was very smart and beautiful, and he couldn't bear to hurt it. They lived together in the mountains for a long time, and they became friends regardless of category. Many years later, the cat brought the cat from outside.
Seeing that the man named Dongyang was simple and kind-hearted, he didn't care that there was an extra person in his territory, and he was secretly protecting them.
In the past two days, there were strange phenomena in the sky and the earth, and gods and men were at war. He was afraid of the magical powers and spells of the gods and men in the sky, and worshiped the Taoist's conduct, but he also admired the Taoist's behavior of protecting the land and mountains, so he came to see me off.
When leaving, the mountain monster once again pointed out the direction for him.
Walking out of this area, there are jackals, tigers, leopards, and other fairies and ghosts.
It is rare for people to come to the mountains. Whether they are birds, beasts, goblins and ghosts, they are always on guard. Most of them are alert and curious. Occasionally, tigers and wolves block the way, and the Taoist just asks them to get out of the way. Occasionally, there are goblins who visit, but few are stupid enough to be rude to the Taoist.
of.
If there are stupid evil spirits and ghosts, and they see that the Taoist is weak and have evil intentions, the Taoist is not afraid, and does not even need to take action. He only needs to let go of the bamboo stick in his hand and ask it to beat them to death.
As I walked, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.
This time the footsteps were very soft.
The Taoist stopped and looked back with his staff.
A woman walked out from behind the tree, her white clothes stained with blood, but her expression was calm, so the blood stains on her clothes became clear snow and plum blossoms, followed by a sick maid.
The maid held a calico cat in her hand.
There is a small wooden pendant hanging around the cat's neck.
Sanhua Empress was originally an honest person, her eyes and ears were naturally drooped, her hands and feet were naturally drooped, and she only raised her tail to block her privacy. She looked well-behaved, but after seeing the Taoist, her two front paws immediately stood up
Then he began to fiddle with it, and his two hind feet began to kick the air, making the whole cat twist restlessly.
But she didn't speak or make a sound. She just turned her head and opened her mouth to bite the maid's hand.
The maid was also very weak and let go of her hand.
"Paji..."
The cat landed firmly on the ground and ran towards the Taoist.
She didn't slow down until she ran in front of the Taoist, but instead of sitting down as usual, she raised her head and looked at him, circling around him, glancing at him from time to time, with a somewhat sad look on her face.
"Puff puff..."
A swallow also flew from the sky and landed on a branch.
The Taoist lowered his head and looked at the cats circling in circles, and then at the swallows on the branches above his head. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman looked around calmly and looked at him.
"Taoist Master, you are injured."
The fox told the result of what the cat was looking for.
"The same goes for every step."
The Taoist said respectfully.
"Much better than you." The woman paused, "Your cats and swallows were brought back to you."
"Thank you."
"The Yuan Sage of the West and the Fighting Sage of the North have fallen. The two Buddhas from the West have not survived. Only a pile of relics are left. I asked the mountain god to take them back and bury them in the mountains. The mountain god
The most serious injury was to his roots. He was already in seclusion and sleeping when I left. However, the mountain he borrowed from Hezhou brought him a lot of incense, and it shouldn’t take many years for him to recover as before. Others also felt the same after the fight.
We left." The woman said, "You don't have to go back there anymore. Even if you want to go back to say thank you, you won't be able to find anyone."
“I have no choice but to visit again in the future.”
"When is the future?" The woman seemed to be asking for advice.
"After returning to the Taoist temple, it will take many years to see when I will be free." The Taoist said truthfully, "I will definitely visit them one by one and say thank you."
"What will happen to the Taoist Master from now on?"
The woman's voice was calm and soft, and it was hard to tell whether it was gentle or weak. The maid behind her was unknown, but she was listless and stood silently behind her.
"Thanks to your help, the Four Saints of the Four Directions have fallen. Among the gods of the Heavenly Palace, no matter whether they are virtuous or unvirtuous, there is no power that can hinder me." Song You said, "However, I still have to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask the current Emperor of Heaven to abdicate.
, after this, whether the people elect another virtuous emperor, or whether the emperor's throne becomes vacant, it will all be a matter of the future."
"How does the Taoist ascend to the Heavenly Palace?"
"I am looking for a way to reach heaven."
"The Taoist master indeed left a lot of backup plans when he reorganized the road to heaven." The woman smiled calmly.
"What are your plans now?"
Song You asked with the same sincere concern.
"We were originally going to Anqing. We heard that Anqing has picturesque mountains and rivers, and there is an old Yanxian and a holy place where Jianghu people hold gatherings, so we wanted to take a look." The woman stood opposite him, "Now the Taoist priest
Now that the matter has been settled, we naturally can't delay it any longer, we should continue to Anqing to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"I heard that there is a Taoist temple in Anqing." The maid behind him added weakly.
"Thank you both so much this time." Song You saluted them very solemnly, "How can I repay such a great kindness?"
"..."
The woman was silent for a moment and looked at him as if she was thinking. Her eyes were not taboo. After a moment, she said: "When I was in Changjing, I once ate the Taoist priest's chicken. The way he cooked it was very strange. Later, the Taoist priest went to Fengzhou."
In the three years since Yeshan gathered in the underworld, even though Empress Sanhua also rode a crane to Changjing and bought chickens back, they didn’t have the same flavor as they once had. In the three years since we left Fengzhou, we have eaten braised pork in other big cities.
Even the chicken can’t match the taste it had back then.”
Although the maid behind her was weak, she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the taste of braised chicken:
"It would be better if I could eat it again..."
"This flavor comes from me." The Taoist lowered his head and said, "To be honest, I am good at cooking and know a few good dishes. If you two come to Yin Yang Mountain next autumn, you will definitely be entertained."
"..."
The woman didn't speak.
"Such a delicious chicken and other delicious dishes, it would be great if I could eat it more often..." the maid said weakly, her tone completely lost the playful tone before, and she only looked easy to bully.
"To be honest, the Yinyang Mountain where Fulong Temple is located is a group of mountains with several mountain tops. Although the scenery is not absolutely beautiful, it is beautiful and comfortable. If you two like it, you can find one and build several bamboo houses.
Whether it's a hut or a few pavilions and palaces, it's up to you." Song You said, "You can be our neighbor for a while."
"The world is changing so fast. Many of the new things in Changjing City ten years ago could not be seen or imagined by the former dynasty. No one knows what the latter dynasty will look like. What if only one person could see such a strange world?
, it’s too boring.” The woman said, her eyes not hidden, but her words were very reserved.
"You two live longer than me..."
"so what?"
"I will grow old faster than you two."
"Why should you worry, Taoist priest?" the woman said calmly, "There are often people in the world who live with cats and dogs for their entire lives. Cats and dogs have shorter life spans than humans. As long as you are sincere, have you ever heard of anyone denouncing cats and dogs because they are old? We are just mountains.
He is just a fox in the world, not a human being. Although he has changed into a human form, he is older than us. It is just an old friend who has gone far away."
"..."
Song You stopped talking and just saluted.
"We won't delay Taoist affairs. Anqing's mountains and rivers are also waiting for us." The woman returned the greeting to him.
"It just so happens that we have used up the fox ancestor's severed tail. After taking the elixir of longevity, we must find a quiet place to practice and become powerful, so that we can leave a new severed tail for future generations."
The maid bowed weakly and respectfully to him, "Come and visit the Taoist Master again after next autumn."
"Walk slowly."
The two sides were strangely polite.
"call……"
A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the two figures disappeared into thin air.
The Taoist withdrew his courtesy and gaze, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he lowered his head, his cat squatted down in front of him to his right. The position was right between him and the woman. At this time, he turned his head in the distance and kept swinging his head, looking for the woman everywhere until he was sure that she was completely gone.
After leaving, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the Taoist again.
It seemed as if during the conversation just now, she was sitting here, turning her head to the left and right to stare at the two of them, looking at whoever was speaking.
"Miss Sanhua, how is the situation in Nanhua City?"
"The situation in Nanhua City is very good! There are no goblins or ghosts causing trouble at all!" Mao'er was immediately diverted by him and stared at him seriously, "You just tricked Empress Sanhua into staying in the city!"
"Why did Sanhua Empress say this?" Song You didn't agree with it and shook his head and said, "I studied under Fulongguan Daoxing Taoist, and I am not the master of divination. I know nothing about divination, so what?
Do you know that those goblins and ghosts will not cause trouble in the city?"
"this……"
"Just in case."
"right……"
Cat's eyes gradually returned to normal, nodded and said, and then cheered up again: "There are no goblins and ghosts causing trouble!"
"That's best."
"The best!" the cat said for a moment, then turned his head back and looked at the empty forest, "Are we going to be neighbors with foxes and fox tails from now on? Meow?"
"Probably so."
"Being neighbors for many years, Meow?"
"Probably so."
"You will..."
"I'm a little weak, so I need to find a place to rest for a while," the Taoist said to her.
