Walking up the Cuiyun Corridor again, the scene in front of me became familiar, but it was in the opposite direction from when I came. Looking at it from another angle, it had a different flavor. Therefore, Song You still walked slowly, paying attention to the scenery on the roadside from time to time.
The village temple gradually appeared in sight.
Song You walked slowly towards it, but asked the calico cat walking silently beside him: "Miss Sanhua, are you willing to travel around the world with me?"
"Traveling around the world?"
“It’s just to travel all over the world, see the sunrise and sunset in different places, get to know different people, fairies and ghosts, eat delicious food from various places, experience different customs, and see people thousands of miles away.
What kind of life are you living?" Song You paused, "My master said, this is cultivation."
"Aren't you going to take me to see Wang Shanggong?"
"If Empress Sanhua is willing, I will tell Wang Shangong." Song You paused for a moment, still walking at the original speed, and thought for a while, "Perhaps Empress Sanhua will stay with me for a while, and I will enjoy the fragrance on my body."
When the Qi dissipates, you can find yourself in the mountains and wilderness, feel free and at ease again, and avoid the pain of being imprisoned."
"Then can I go back to my little temple?"
"Still want to be caught?"
"But the monster is resurrected?"
The calico cat thought for a moment and continued to ask: "If I follow you, how long will it take?"
"Let's go after dinner."
Later in the evening, some Jianghu people came to stay overnight, and they also brought red incense sold in the city. Even though there was only a clay cat statue in the temple, they respectfully lit three incense sticks, and said some of the scene words that Jianghu people like to say.
After saying hello to Song You, he settled on the other side of the ruined temple.
Everyone turned around and looked at the clay statue on the altar.
"I have no idea."
"Are you inferior?"
After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to sigh, held his hands towards Song You, and disappeared in the blue smoke.
It was already mid-afternoon when we arrived, and it took another day to go back and forth. However, this era has always been like this, everything is very slow, and a day will be wasted on the dozens of miles of mountain roads.
"A person is lonely."
The calico cat recovered from its surprise and looked around, as if looking for the missing Wang Shanggong, but naturally he couldn't find it, and then looked at Song You again:
"Is he gone?"
Inexplicably, my mood is different.
These Jianghu people had a lot of knowledge and heard a lot of gossip from all aspects. Even if they were exaggerated, Song You liked to hear them bragging and chatting.
"Let me not be alone."
At this time, I especially missed the small temple at that time.
"I understand."
"Why don't I take it with me and teach it well?"
This place is only more than a hundred miles away from Yin Yang Mountain, and although Fulong Temple in Yin Yang Mountain has few people, it is famous, so he has naturally heard of it.
…
Although the small temple is small, only half the height of the Taoist priest in front of me, it is more than enough to house a cat. Although it cannot block the wind, it can block the rain, and it is not easy to be found under a big tree. Now I think about it.
Think about it, it's just a cozy little nest.
"It's been investigated."
When it gets dark, it goes out.
"It is not allowed by heaven to have an obscene temple and worship evil people." Wang Shanggong said solemnly, "Thank you sir for bringing it. I will take it down and punish it according to heaven's laws."
Someone actually came to offer incense again.
"yes……"
"Are you ready?"
There is an extra loach on the altar.
"I try my best."
"It's shorter than the detention time anyway."
I don’t know when the calico cat will come back. In short, when I opened my eyes and saw it the next morning, it was a little tired. When I asked it why, it said that the two families were one on the far side and the other on the far side. I don’t know where it was. Which side of the side.
"Miss Sanhua is a curious person..."
Song You still smiled and shook his head.
One person and one cat returned to the ruined temple.
"Yin Yang Mountain Fulong Temple..."
"Thank you."
"Sir, be careful what you say."
Song You said to the calico cat that he was eating the steamed cake in his hand. The calico cat ate a lot of mice last night and was still full now.
"What to do in Yidu?"
The calico cat is even less energetic.
These Jianghu people know that the gentlemen in the temple need incense, and they rely on these gentlemen to shelter from the rain. Therefore, in addition to lighting a few sticks of incense, they often also leave some incense on the altar, so that future guests can come Here, if you don’t bring any incense, you can also use it to offer a few sticks to the gentlemen.
"How has it changed?"
The Jianghu people nearby also woke up.
"It just affects you and makes you change for the better."
Sanhua Empress quickly jumped up to the altar, got close to the three sticks of incense and took a sip. She forced herself to stop and looked at the little loach on the altar with a look of reluctance. Then she turned to look at Song You at the door: "Taoist, Yesterday that person offered me incense, but I haven't gone to help him catch mice yet. And today's person, can I go to their house tonight to catch mice?"
"Speaking of which, it seems that the person worshiping in this temple is also a cat."
"Go back to your small temple first, destroy your statue, and cut off its connection with you."
"Then think quickly."
"Is there nothing else?"
"Miss Sanhua has been lonely. It's good to be alone."
"If it has not harmed anyone, has not sucked people's soul, blood, and suppressed it for a hundred years, or lived for a hundred years, if it has done good deeds, it will be reduced by half as appropriate."
"where are we going?"
"Can I eat the loach?"
Not long after, the steamed cakes were also finished.
"But the rules of heaven are like this..."
The calico cat turned around and ran out. After crossing the threshold, he stopped at the door and turned around to look at Song You who had not yet left.
"I know, I know."
Among them was a young man who was well-dressed and followed him. Perhaps seeing Song You wearing a Taoist robe and looking young, he wanted to make friends, so he came over with the dried meat he brought and said to Song You:
Song You put the incense on the mud and said respectfully.
"Just...forget it, let's go."
Most of them were left by Jianghu people.
"Sir, have you checked it out?"
Song You looked at it for a long time and nodded.
The stars in the sky are turning, and the curtains on earth are hanging down.
"Then why do you want me to follow you?"
At this moment, I saw that the clay statue couldn't help but see that several cracks appeared immediately. The cracks expanded rapidly, becoming more and more larger. In the blink of an eye, they covered the entire clay statue, and then broke into countless pieces with a crash. .
"Thank you."
"You don't have to do anything, just do one thing and try not to talk in front of ordinary people."
"I don't know what you mean, sir..."
"Please come out and see Mr. Wang Shan."
"The law is nothing more than human feelings, and the laws of heaven also have many injustices."
Song You took three of them and did not forget to say thank you.
"It's not like that." Song You said to him, "It's just a cat that became a spirit, ignorant and greedy for human incense. Someone happened to offer it incense and asked to catch mice, so it occupied the temple without knowing the importance of it, sucked incense and offered it as an offering. .Now I have brought it."
"How is it affected?"
Song You meditated all night, feeling the aura of the mountains.
It is a homemade incense. The ingredients are different from those in the Taoist temple. It smells fresh and seems to have a mosquito repellent effect. Song You likes it quite a lot.
"Eat it if you want. It's the last meal anyway. Remember, you can no longer accept tributes from others or absorb incense." Song You looked at the calico cat in front of him. Because of the incense, it already had
Some Shinto supernatural powers, for example, it can know who put each stick of incense and who gave each tribute, and can use this to find them. "Sucking incense will make you walk on the Shinto path unknowingly, and then you will be connected with the incense."
If you cannot separate them, you will become weak or even die when there is no more incense, and you will be regarded as an evil god by the God of Heaven."
Song You walked into the village temple.
"Sir, there is no need to be polite. We are both from the Jianghu community. We are destined to meet each other. We should treat them as we have known each other for a long time."
"This little gentleman is really interesting. He takes a cat with him when he goes on a long trip. This cat is also interesting. It follows people around. My cat can't even touch it."
"How has it changed?"
"Change slowly."
"yes."
But the calico cat stopped at the door, looked around cautiously, and then looked up at the tall and brightly painted statues of gods in the temple. He felt that compared to his little clay cat, he was so miserable.
It couldn't help but feel frightened. It can be seen that when Song You entered, it hesitated for a moment, but still crossed the threshold.
"gone."
The calico cat lay down on the altar, looking very sick. It couldn't bear to part with its own temple, its own statues and its own incense, which it had worked hard to build by catching mice for several years.
.
The calico cat followed behind with small steps, then raised its head and asked:
"You are a kind man with a kind heart, please keep an open mind."
Song You also got up and walked out of the temple gate.
The calico cat was so frightened that it shrank to Song You's feet.
"this……"
"Why so urgent?"
"Well……"
"Sir, you can't just eat steamed cakes. I have air-dried pork from my hometown. You want to try it, sir."
Looking around, there are incense on the altar.
"That's right."
Wang Shanggong opened his eyes wide for a moment.
"Let's go."
"Then let's get out of here quickly."
Song You lowered his head and glanced at the cat, conveying with his eyes "Look, I'm not lying to you." Then he said to Wang Shanggong: "But I heard that absorbing incense and practicing is an instinct of spirits, and I heard that ignorant people
In terms of innocence, I think this cat demon is also a first-time offender. It is ignorant and has very little incense. Furthermore, I think it has never harmed anyone. Instead, it has worked conscientiously to help the people get rid of rats and protect food. It has not done anything wrong.
He has a good heart, but it would be really unfair if he was trapped for a hundred years because of this."
"If you talk too much, you will be very thirsty on the road."
Song You looked at it in confusion.
"good."
"That's not necessary."
"Slowly influence."
"I would like to ask Empress Sanhua to take care of me."
"Be kind and courteous."
"Please, good Lord."
"alright."
"I don't feel comfortable here."
It was noon and there was no one staying overnight in the temple, so Song You closed the temple door instead.
"I'm in trouble too..."
This man was rejected, but he was not as embarrassed as other face-loving charlatans. Instead, he turned around with a smile and shared it with the other charlatans he had met last night. After complimenting each other with a few good words, they began to talk happily as brothers again.
, as if we have known each other for a long time.
"What is probation?"
"How is Tian Tiao punished?"
"I am also a lover of raccoon slaves, but it is rare to see a raccoon slave take a raccoon slave with you when traveling far away like Mr."
"I don't know what loneliness is."
"It's nice not to be lonely."
"Do you want me to help you catch mice?"
"Either the Good Lord does not report it to the superior, or the Good Lord lies and says that the cat demon that occupied the temple has been eliminated. All the Good Lord needs to do is to report truthfully to the superiors that the cat demon that occupied the temple was led by a Taoist priest.
Just go." Song You paused and offered his hand to Wang Shangong again, "My name is Song You, and my courtesy name is Menglai. I studied under the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Master Fulongguan in Yin Yang Mountain. Shan Gong noted it down."
"Where to go then?"
Song You said something, then stood up and walked out.
"there is none left."
"so……"
The fragrance of grass is not valuable, what is valuable is people's admiration.
"I'll go with you."
"I have not decided yet."
"What is low self-esteem?"
"Yidu."
Hold the incense in both hands, shake it and draw a circle. Just draw a circle, and the incense will burn automatically, and green smoke will curl up.
"Well?"
As soon as he was freed from his lonely journey, he was greeted by a problem baby, which Song You didn't expect.
"What to do in Yidu?"
The calico cat on the ground had its eyes widened.
"Then what do you want me to do with you?"
The calico cat followed him consciously.
The group of Jianghu people stared at them, and after they left, they started talking in low voices.
"Sir, is he also a lover of raccoon slaves?"
The green smoke rose and never dispersed, wisps gathering in the air. In the blue smoke, Wang Shanggong, wearing colorful clothes and full of divine light, appeared. When he saw Song You, he bowed respectfully.
"Sir, you are polite."
It turned into powder when it hit the ground.
