I didn't intend to be a Fairy

The two Taoists walked through the busy streets.

The cat walked ahead with cheerful small steps, and seemed to have remembered the way back. It stopped from time to time, looked back at Song You behind him, then at the national teacher, at the clothes on Song You's body, and at the same time. Looking at the clothes on the national teacher's body, she glanced at Song You's feet, and then at the national teacher's feet. She didn't know what she was thinking. She continued to move forward when they approached.

Behind him were the voices of two Taoists speaking.

"I don't know how much Taoism is good?"

"He was in good health when he came down the mountain."

"When I was young, I followed my teacher, heh, I was also my father, and I was lucky to meet Daoist Duoxing." The national teacher showed nostalgia, "I still remember the demeanor of Daoist Duoxing to this day."

"She is getting older now, and she is usually in the temple, neither going down the mountain nor seeing visitors." Song You replied in a low voice, "When I leave, I'm afraid even the door of the Taoist temple will rarely be opened again."

"Really?" The national teacher seemed a little surprised, "I heard that Daoist Duoxing liked to make friends very much back then."

"Maybe I made friends when I was young."

"rational……"

"As you get older, things change."

"Who in this world is not old?"

"yes……"

Song You paused for a moment, then looked at him again: "I don't know how the national teacher recognized me?"

"Although the talent of the poor Taoist is not high, but thanks to His Majesty's attention, he is regarded as a national teacher, and he should pay more attention to the affairs of this world." The national teacher said with a smile, "Since I heard that the poor Taoist After Cui Nanxi's encounter with a fairy in Yunding Mountain, he was curious, so he searched the rumors of gods in the world in recent years, and found some obvious connections. Mingde was in Yizhou in the first year, Xuzhou in the second year of Mingde, and Nanhua in Pingzhou. The rumors of the county were in the early summer of the second year of Mingde, and Yunding Mountain was in the late summer and early autumn of the third year of Mingde. Finally, Jingzhou and Angzhou also had their own rumors. Until this year, the city god of Changjing and the ghosts outside the city, think about it, almost It's time for another generation of Fulongguan descendants to go down the mountain."

"I see."

"One night on the mountain, one year down the mountain, fellow daoist is really a fairy." The national teacher glanced at him, "Then Cui Nanxi is lucky to meet a fellow daoist with him."

"It's just a coincidence." Song You shook his head, "The national teacher's plan is really good."

"Poverty Taoism is nothing more than a small way, the great way is in Fulong Temple, the heavenly Taoist was the true immortal I admired in Luming Mountain Fengtian Temple." The national teacher and him complimented each other, "But then again, in Fulong Temple In front of the inheritance of Longguan, is there any inheritance in the world that is not a small way?"

"The national teacher's words are wrong. All the laws in the world can be mastered to the extreme, so there is no distinction between the great and the small." Song You paused, "I have heard that the national teacher can govern the country with literature and martial arts. , knowledgeable and able to pinch and count, assisting Dayan to make the people rich and the country strong, this is worthy of admiration."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. People in the world don't scold poor Taoists. Thousands of years later, no one will say that poor Taoists demonize the country, and poor Taoists will burn their incense." The national teacher looked ashamed. You won’t let those ghosts outside the city make trouble for many years and you have nothing to do with them, and you have to wait until fellow Taoists arrive in Changjing to calm them down.”

"Everyone has their own strengths."

"It's still early at this time, and the Star Observation Tower of Pindao is not far from here, and there are still a few ounces of tea from His Majesty at home. If a fellow Taoist appreciates your face, I will go and sit down and have a long talk with him."

"..."

Song You thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Then I will bother you."

This national teacher's evaluation among literati and ordinary people is indeed more favorable than negative, but after all, he is too deeply involved with power. A lazy person like Song You should not have a close friendship with him. But meeting is a fate, people are both Taoists and have a relationship with the master, and now the invitation is kind, if it is just a chat between Taoists, there is nothing wrong with it.

"this way please……"

The national teacher pointed to the right side of the alley ahead.

The three-flowered cat itself had already walked to the left. Hearing the sound, he turned to look at them and ran back again, but this time he was about to walk behind.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Song You and Mao stopped at the stargazing building and looked up.

This is the pavilion specially built by the emperor of the current dynasty for the national teacher to watch the stars at night. It is located in a secluded place. The terrain itself is high, and the pavilion is also high. The posture is majestic. With five floors of flying eaves and glazed tile roof, perhaps thousands of years later, if this pavilion is not destroyed by natural and man-made disasters, it will become a famous building in the world, and it will be a place where future generations will check in when they come to Changjing.

Maybe it will also be written in poetry and prose.

At this time, it only belongs to one person.

It is said that the national teacher usually lives in the Guanxing Tower, and he has no mansion in Changjing.

"please……"

The national teacher went in first.

Such a famous building is naturally not comparable to the small street buildings like Song You. Once you walk in, the first floor is a huge space for receiving guests. Living, the third floor is full of bookshelves, full of books and bamboo scrolls, the fourth floor is the place where the national teacher lives, and there is also a room in the middle of the fifth floor, with tables, chairs and tea tables. If you want to come to the national teacher, you will occasionally invite people to drink tea and talk , surrounded by a corridor around the floor, which can be used for stargazing.

The national teacher invited him to the top floor, and personally found a charcoal stove to light a fire, boil water and order tea.

"I haven't introduced it to the national teacher yet, this is Mistress Sanhua, I met her after going down the mountain, and traveled the world together." Song You paused for a moment, then looked at Sanhuamao, "This is the national teacher. "

"So it's Mistress Sanhua, sorry for your disrespect."

"It turned out to be the master of the national teacher, disrespect and disrespect~"

The three-flowered cat imitated the tone of a human, but it didn't sound like it. The national teacher couldn't help but smiled, lowered his head and hammered the tea, and added charcoal to the small stove.

"Master Changjing City God has become more and more diligent in the past two months, and even Changjing has been at peace a lot, all thanks to fellow Taoists."

"I'm just pushing him, it's not creditable."

"The poor Lord Chenghuang also understands a little bit. At that time, Empress Pei was well-educated, her mother respected the world, and she managed the harem in an orderly manner. It is not a mediocre person to be able to teach such a daughter. It is just that she has no virtue and prestige and dare not act lightly. Theocracy, secondly, timid and lacking in courage, has been timid, afraid of angering the powerful and being dismissed, thirdly, I don’t know what the people’s incense is, I just think that being a city god is a gift from His Majesty, and I can survive in such a muddled way. Come on, when you realize that your divine body is in danger, it will not be as easy to make up your mind as before."

The tea leaves were hammered into pieces, and then put into the tea bowl to grind them. The sound of that back and forth was very quiet, accompanied by his voice.

"Pindao also wanted to help him make up his mind, but Pindao can only do divination and calculation, and he has neither the ability to scare him nor the magic power to help him eliminate demons. Fortunately, fellow Taoists have come. Now it seems that the After the Lord City God has experienced the true hearts and incense of the people, I am afraid that if someone forces him to go back to lie down, he will not be able to lie down."

"What I have done is actually very small."

"But sometimes it's just like this. In just one thought, one step to the left and one step to the right make a huge difference. But not everyone is like a fellow daoist who has the ability to make him take a small step to the left."

"Everyone has their own strengths."

Not long after, three cups of tea were placed in front of me.

"please!"

"..."

Song You picked up a cup and took a sip.

With good tea and good water, and good tea art, the tea produced is also good tea.

The three-flowered cat also lowered its head and licked it, showing a thoughtful look.

"how?"

"Good tea."

"Meow~"

"That's good."

The national teacher showed a smile, then looked at Song You, smiled and said: "People who cultivate the Tao are free-spirited, and Fulong Temple is even more so. Poor Taoists don't have to make detours. I don't know if you have heard of reincarnation in the underworld?"

"I've heard a lot."

"Fellow Taoist is the descendant of Fulongguan, so he naturally knows where the heavenly palace comes from, and where the gods and Buddhas in the sky come from." The national teacher also raised his cup to drink tea, "Nowadays, people in the world gradually believe that there is a hell under the ground, just like the original They firmly believe that there are gods standing three feet above their heads, and gradually believe that they will enter reincarnation after death, what do you think about this?"

It turned out that he invited himself here because he wanted to talk about this.

Song You raised his glass and sipped his tea again.

I don’t know whether the saying of Beishan Taoist that “the reincarnation of the underworld is fueled by the national teacher behind the scenes” is true or not, and I don’t know whether the national teacher’s question is because he is not sure whether these beliefs can unite the underworld to create reincarnation. I want to hear the descendants of Fulong Temple. How do you think about this, or he has some thoughts about it and wants to hear Fu Longguan's opinion, or he needs his own help.

"Let it be."

Song You put down the teacup and said.

The national teacher listened calmly and poured half a glass for him: "Speaking of which, the theory of hell and reincarnation also has something to do with Buddhism. Pindao went to Tianhai Temple to visit Abbot Zhenghui today and discussed it with him. The theory of reincarnation in the underworld, Abbot Zhenghui is very cultivated and insightful, and the poor Taoist has benefited a lot."

"What does the national teacher think?"

"Pindao believes that there are many lonely and wild ghosts in the world who have nowhere to live, and there are many evildoers in the world who have escaped the laws of the mortal world for various reasons, or the laws of the mortal world cannot be sanctioned."

"yes."

"If there is a nether world, it can accommodate the lonely and wild ghosts in the world, give them a place to live, and prevent them from causing chaos in the underworld. It can also form a law enforcement department to deal with those ghosts who make trouble in the underworld, and it will also help the human world. Peaceful rule of law. In addition, if the soul does not dissipate naturally after death, the underworld is the destination of all people after death. Those who have violated the law in the yang world and have not been punished, whether they have cheated the world or have not obtained the law of the yang world because of their noble status Those who have been punished will be tried again when they arrive here, and they will be freed from crimes in the mortal world and punished in the underworld, so it can also deter the wicked?"

"..."

Song You thought for a while, and wanted to say something, but he wasn't sure if he thought it through clearly, and he wasn't sure if the national teacher wanted to hear it, so he gave up again, and only smiled and said to him:

"If the words of the national teacher are heard by the nobles in the court, I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep."

"Naturally, poor Taoists dare not tell them, nor do they dare to say it outside, but Fulong Temple is a place outside the world, and the masters of the past generations are all immortals. Throughout the world, poor Taoists only dare to talk to fellow Taoists. It's gone." The national teacher narrowed his eyes again when he said this, "But then again, it doesn't matter if they can't sleep, it's just right if they can't sleep, if there is a hell that can keep them from falling asleep, it should be a good hell."

"There must have been such rumors among the people."

"Fellow Daoist means..."

"A talk about Hell and Hell."

"So, even if they are afraid, they shouldn't be afraid of the poor. Whether there are poor people or not, the common people think so. If they can make the poor people dare not talk nonsense, can they also make the people of the world not dare to think nonsense? "

"It doesn't sound easy."

"What Fellow Daoist said is true, but judging from the current situation, under the direction of the people, the cohesion of the underworld is almost inevitable. How does the underworld work?" The national teacher shook his head, "If you let it go, the underworld will be a mess when it is just completed."

"It's like the Tiangong at the beginning."

"Exactly! The gods compete for the position, and the people also compete for the position. On the contrary, the world is full of monsters and demons, and the people are in dire straits!"

"What does the national teacher think?"

"Prepare early, go up to the Heavenly Palace, and go down to the court to prepare for the construction of the Yin Division." The national teacher said, "The underworld is simple at the beginning, and then it will do simple things, and then it will gradually improve, and then it will do perfect things. From the point of view of the poor, the first The Underworld only needs to have Yin Divisions to arrest the world's demons and ghosts. When the Underworld is gradually perfected and the beliefs of the creatures create more Yin Gods and bring more supernatural powers to the Yin Gods, the Underworld will have more responsibilities, and naturally they can do more things , the most important thing is, naturally, step by step, don't make trouble..."

The national teacher had a long talk with Song You.

It was probably because there was no one else to say these words except the descendants of Fulongguan, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop, but because the two had met for the first time, they didn't know much about it, so they restrained themselves.

Only talk about big things and big trends, things that must happen.

Small details are not mentioned.

Song You also didn't ask him if the underworld was built, where would he be in it, and what would be the position of the current emperor who supported him now, that's inappropriate. At the same time, Song You didn't care too much. Life was short, and the only thing he could look forward to after the completion of the underworld was to witness this remarkable event with his own eyes. He had no other ideas or pursuits.

"I don't know if you think it can be done?"

"As the national teacher said, since the people all over the world believe in this, and even some people have enshrined the image of the Yin God, it is only a matter of time before the birth of the underworld." Song You said thinking, "The birth of the underworld is simple, but if you want to evolve Reincarnation, I'm afraid it's not easy."

"Fellow daoists see the same thing as the poor daoist." The national teacher said, "It's just that the poor daoist thought, since it's only a matter of time before the hell is gathered, why not let it succeed in this generation. Now that the great Yan is strong, your majesty is also a wise man. Although the emperor and heir have not been determined, they are not incompetent people who are fighting for power and profit. Although the world is not peaceful, it is considered stable, and it is a good time."

"The National Teacher is so concerned, I admire you."

"What do fellow Taoists think?"

"I don't understand much, so I don't dare to say more." Song You looked at the sky outside, and cupped his hands, "It's getting late, I have to go back to cook, and it's almost time to say goodbye."

"Why rush away? Why don't we just have dinner here in Pindao and watch the stars together at night."

"Next time."

Song You had already stood up.

In the past few days, all I ate was the elm money that the neighbor's heroine brought back from outside. The heroine provided the ingredients, and he was in charge of cooking, partnered with each other, and tasted fresh food. If she didn't go back by herself, I'm afraid she would be hungry.
