Chapter 89 Changsheng County at the foot of Yunding Mountain
If you want to talk about what people in Nanhua County are talking about the most after dinner these days, it is Li Daguan.
It is said that a god passed by Nanhua County some time ago and saw that Li Popi was bullying the market and doing many evil things, so he gave some enlightenment. Now that Li Popi has changed his ways, he really has changed his ways. I heard that Li Popi is now doing bad things.
My heart is cramped, and the pain is so painful that I would rather die. It also hurts if I don't do good things every day, but the pain is not that severe. I can barely treat myself like death.
Isn’t that right? Everyone dares to call him Li Popi!
Maybe it's not right to say it's enlightenment.
Maybe it's punishment.
But whether it’s enlightenment or punishment, you’ve finally cured a big bully.
I think that Li Popi was a well-known bully and scoundrel in Nanhua County. Countless people were bullied and disgusted by him. Pingzhou also has a very strong atmosphere of immortals and gods. These are the things everyone likes to discuss. Now a wandering world
The gods punished a bully who was right next to them. Is there any topic more worthy of discussion than this?
At that time, everyone was talking about this, from the county magistrate to the common people, even in remote mountain villages outside the city.
Everyone is also paying a lot of attention to Li Popi.
The store owner of Jingfu Inn is the one I am most concerned about.
Who allowed that immortal to live in his own home? Li Popi was also enlightened in the room above his home.
The store owner didn't dare to publicize it quickly, fearing that he had made some money, and when Li Popi came to his senses, his heart was no longer hurt, and he couldn't find anyone to vent to, and would instead come to trouble him.
Just pay more attention to the rumors about Li Popi.
I heard that Li Popi paid off all the money he owed to the merchants and people inside and outside the city within a few days, and apologized to each of them. Then he went to the nunnery outside the city again, this time not to have fun, but to
I brought enough money and gifts to make amends. I heard that I knelt at the door of the nunnery for a long time and made many promises on the spot. From the looks of it, those nuns may not have to earn this money anymore.
Later, Li Popi had to repay more and more debts. Even the hawker who had taken pears and peaches from others without giving him any money, and now encountered him on the road, had to politely apologize and compensate him.
It's as if he has truly become a good person.
But who knows how long Li Popi can hold on? He is just afraid of the pain.
As time passed little by little, the spell showed no signs of failing. On the contrary, Li Popi began to do good deeds every day, and his whole person gradually changed.
The most noticeable change is that I no longer suffer from pain every day. It may hurt, but the pain has been significantly reduced.
This did not make him relax, but made him more active in doing good deeds and making up for the debts he owed in the first half of his life. He just sent money and gifts to the nunnery outside the city many times, asked for help, and even bought some land as gifts at the foot of the mountain.
To those nuns, it was said that they were making up for their debts. Most of the other people who had been bullied also tried their best to make up for it.
But if you look closely——
When this rogue did these things at first, he was obviously coerced by pain and full of reluctance. But who would have thought that as time went by, he would be able to greet others with a smile, apologize and pay back the money. Later, he would do these things.
Things are getting easier and easier.
From March to April, to May and then to June, within a few months, Li Popi's whole person changed extremely obviously. If an outsider came to Nanhua, they would never imagine that he had once been a human being.
This rogue must have gotten used to it, right?
This is truly amazing.
Every time the store owner thinks about it, his eyes widen.
At first I thought he must be a gentleman with some abilities, but then I thought he was a rare Taoist master in the world. Now that I think about it, I am afraid he is a real god!
Since it is a true god, it is time to publicize the name of the god, the room where the god lived, and the room where the god enlightened people, and the soup cakes that the god praised profusely.
Why not give it a name...
…
To go to Yunding Mountain, Song You and Sanhua Empress had planned the route and followed their own whims.
The closest place to Nanhua is Andu Mountain.
The landscape of Andu Mountain is really beautiful. It was neither cold nor hot when I went there. It was just the right time to climb the mountain. A stream of horses fell directly from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain. It flew down three thousand feet, and it was like the Milky Way falling from the sky.
After passing Andu Mountain, we went to Monkey Valley.
It was early summer at that time, the mountains were cool and cool, and the peaches all over the mountain had just ripened. I asked the naughty monkey for a few, and this summer had a flavor in my memory.
The water in the December Lake is unique. No matter how deep it is, it is crystal clear. The sunken trees at the bottom are criss-crossed. I don’t know how many years have passed, and there are countless fish swimming in the water, all of which are as if they are swimming in nothing. The twelve pools of water,
Each one has its own unique beauty, with colors ranging from green to blue, with different shades.
I heard that in late autumn, the mountains are covered with red leaves.
Hundreds of thousands of years later, this place will definitely be a famous scenic spot. It will be impossible to wash your feet in the lake by then. Taoist Song will have to wash your feet several times hundreds of thousands of years in advance.
There is another mountain called Yuanbu.
It is said that several prime ministers from several dynasties have visited here, and countless well-known poets and literati have come here to see the dangerous dangers and strengthen their courage.
There is a well-known ancient road in Yuanshan. It was originally built by the soldiers who built a pass on this mountain thousands of years ago. On the vertical cliff, the path is only one foot wide at most. It is difficult to put down your feet. There is a row of nails driven into the edge of the cliff.
Pulling a chain and letting someone hold it is the only safety measure. If you don't pay attention, there will be an abyss below.
This place is definitely more dangerous than Dog Climbing Rock, but the scenery is not as good.
Then we went to Mawang Village where bandits were rampant...
If there is a city in the middle, as long as it is not far away, Song You and Sanhua Empress will go there to see the local customs, see what special foods are available, take a rest, and make some supplies. This Pingzhou Six
The forty-eight counties are really misty and smoky with immortals and gods. There are obscene temples and evil sacrifices everywhere, and there are countless legends about immortals and gods.
When we arrived at Lihuagou, it was already the time of summer and autumn, so naturally there were no pear blossoms to enjoy, but Pingzhou tribute pears were ripe just in time.
Empress Sanhua doesn’t eat pears, but Song You does.
Needless to say, the quality of Gongli pears is huge, soaked, and every bite is full of water, which is very refreshing. However, the pear trees all over the mountain are only as bright as spring. In autumn, half of the fruits cannot be sold. As long as they can be shipped out
Everything can be sold at a high price here, but since it can't be shipped out, it can be sold in the mountains for money. Sometimes, there is no need to pay, just say hello, and others are willing to give a Taoist some convenience.
There is also pear paste for sale, which Sanhua Empress can eat.
In late June, we arrived in Changsheng County.
One hundred miles out of the county is Jingdao Lake. Next to Jingdao Lake is the legendary Yunding Fairy Mountain.
This Yunding Mountain seems to be the most famous fairy mountain in Pingzhou. Many people who yearn for immortality come here to seek immortality, and even the county is named after immortality. In a small county, there may be hundreds of people traveling against the path of immortality in the city.
At home, there are probably more travelers walking on the street than locals. It is hard to say who is a great poet or talented person who can leave eternal masterpieces. And what is said in the roadside teahouse is all about the 48 people in the six counties of Pingzhou.
The county’s legends of immortals and gods, and the demons and ghosts were alarmed.
When Song You and Empress Sanhua arrived here, they also found a restaurant in the city where they stopped to rest and relax.
It's still an ordinary room.
Song You sat at the table, poured himself a bowl of water, and said to Empress Sanhua: "Empress Sanhua, you know, it will be the beginning of autumn in a few days."
"Miss Sanhua doesn't know."
The calico cat jumped on the table and was about to get closer to smell it. It was a completely subconscious answer. But after he finished the answer, he remembered it and immediately turned his head and stared at Song You:
"beginning of autumn?"
"yes."
"beginning of autumn!"
"What do you want to do, Sanhua Empress?"
“Have a good meal!”
"Good."
Song You smiled and looked at the cat: "But the Beginning of Autumn will be a few days away. We must have left here by then. We are either by Jingdao Lake or on Yunding Mountain. There is nothing good to eat there."
"!!"
The calico cat stared at him with burning eyes.
Song You picked up the water bowl and drank water, and whispered: "So my suggestion is that we eat it in advance."
“Eat it beforehand!”
"It's the time you choose anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a few days away."
"It doesn't matter how many days it is!"
"What do you think, Sanhua Empress?"
"Miss Sanhua, I think you are right."
"What does Sanhua Empress want to eat?"
"Miss Sanhua wants to eat beef, fish, birds, and chickens!"
"Little birds and chickens are rarely sold in the city, but you can buy beef and fish. Well, you should be able to buy beef. I have to go out and ask."
"Miss Sanhua can catch the little birds and chickens by herself."
"Well."
Song You went out and left.
The calico cat jumped off the table and followed him with brisk steps.
If you want to ask if you can buy beef in the county, it is best to ask the store owner in the inn.
But this is obviously not Lingbo. Beef is not as common as pork and mutton. The store owner was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at Song You up and down and at the calico cat next to him: "Beef, I don't know if they are sold in the city today.
The first sale was a few days ago, and it wasn't much. The husband also knew that beef was a rare thing, and the nobles also liked to eat it. When a cow died, they had to take some away first, and there were still many people in the market after the rest.
I'm rushing to buy it, so I can only say that I'll help you to see more, and the price is..."
"How much does it cost per pound?"
"Last time it was a hundred cents."
"It's time to catch the mutton."
"That can't be helped!"
The shop owner said to Song You: "My guest also knows that our place is special. There are real gods on Yunding Mountain next to it, but most people can't find them. Sir, well, sir, he is a Taoist. I know that the gods don't like this."
Everyone eats beef, so we kill very few cows here, and the government basically doesn’t approve them. They all die from falls and diseases. I think you, sir, also understand this..."
The store owner said it carefully, fearing that the words "I don't eat beef" would hit the sore point of the Taoist priest who wanted to buy beef.
Song You just smiled.
The Heavenly Palace is indeed the Heavenly Palace of Taoism, and Taoist priests do not eat beef, but they are only restraining themselves. How can they not be willing to eat beef if they do not eat it themselves?
"I asked the store owner to pay more attention to me, and I will eat it in the store after buying it."
"okay!"
"It's just that there are really gods on Yunding Mountain?"
"Sir, this is the right question!"
The shopkeeper put the rag on his shoulder and suddenly became excited: "There are no immortals on Yunding Mountain. How can so many people come here to look for immortals in the past hundreds of years?"
"I'll ask the store owner to tell me."
"I have nothing to do now, so I would like to ask you to sit down and have a good talk with me." The shopkeeper paused for a moment, "Just sitting here is boring. The wine and tea in the shop are pretty good. Would you like some, sir?"
"
This man knows how to do business.
Indeed, it was not easy to just listen to what others said, so Song You ordered a pot of good tea that was said to be produced locally, and there was also fairy tea that was said to be produced in Yunding Fairy Mountain, but the price was too expensive, and Song You didn't know about the tea.
Whether it is really produced in Yunding Fairy Mountain, I don’t think there is any difference if it is produced in the mountain, so I can save some money.
