I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Lanmo City was not peaceful last night.

Although the city is protected by the Willow Immortal, how can there be no mice in this world?

For some reason, the mice in every household went crazy last night, jumping up and down, making a noise, and ran out of the city again, awakening countless sleepers.

People only dare to secretly check.

Some mice ran all the way out of the city, not knowing where they were going, and some mice stopped in the middle of their run, dazed and at a loss on the street, reacted, and hid in the nearby wall hole at the corner of the street.

Someone who lived on a high ground opened the window and peeked, and saw a raging fire flowing like water on a mountain outside the city.

Some people who lived close to the temples in the city were awakened by the movement of rats, and opened the windows to check secretly.

People in the city were panicked for a while.

In the morning of the next day, everyone went out to chat, and they said everything.

Some people say that the mouse fairy outside the city is angry, and Lanmo County will be in disaster. Some people say that it is the gods who appear, and the demons in the lower realm will be eliminated, and Lanmo County will be peaceful.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I heard people say that a Taoist priest took a knight and a little girl out last night before dark. The little girl has the ability to blow lamps and light a fire, and the Taoist priest is also very generous. The group of people went out for a whole night I don't know where I went, but nothing happened, and I didn't enter the city again until early in the morning.

That night, the temple wished to see God in a dream, saying that the rat demon had been eliminated.

It was a young Taoist who got rid of the rats.

Lan Mo suddenly boiled, talking about the Jinhua Empress Miao Zhu dreamed about, the mouse demon who was eliminated, and the Taoist.

Some people said that they had already seen that Taoist during the day, and he had an extraordinary bearing, not like ordinary people at all. Some people said that the young Taoist asked about the rat demon outside the city that day, and he answered carefully, maybe the immortal has his own merits besides the rat demon. Some people said that the Taoist went to the city early the next morning and did nothing else, but ate a bowl of noodles at his noodle stall, bought some scones at the opposite side, and then went out of the city again. The little girl only saw a three-colored cat, and the Taoist shared the meat with the cat to eat.

Rumors gradually spread from inside the city to outside the city.

It can be described by the word "crazy pass".

It has been passed on to the ears of old farmers who are farming, and also to the ears of bodyguards who travel the rivers and lakes, and it has been passed on to thousands of households.

The Taoist has already left here.

...

The little girl was riding on the back of the horse, and turned her head to stare seriously at the Taoist priest beside her: "What was that you did last night?"

"what is what?"

The Taoist stopped by the roadside to pick cherries next to the cottage.

"Burn the rat."

"The law of fire."

"Is it the method of fire movement that I learned from Empress Sanhua?"

"Almost."

"Do not believe."

"When did I cheat Empress Sanhua again?"

"..."

The little girl on the horseback turned her head and stared at him with a strange look in her eyes, as if she had doubts, but she felt that she shouldn't have doubts. After a long time, she said, "How long will it take for Empress Sanhua to become so powerful?"

"That's not sure."

"Tell me."

"It depends on the chance."

"Look."

"Maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years." Song You said while picking cherries, "Maybe hundreds of years."

"..."

The little girl only asked the horse to come over, stretched out her little hands, and picked the cherries on the branches, picking the red ones, and putting them into the small pot in the hands of the Taoist.

"well……"

Song You couldn't help sighing.

This is at the foot of Chongbie Mountain in Linxun County.

This village, this early cherry tree that bears fruit, inevitably reminds him of the mountain village in Xuzhou, the peach, plum and pear blossoms blooming in front of and behind the houses in the mountain village, and reminds him of the Nanhua County back then, the group of people who stole cherries The naughty boy and the old man guarding the cherries—there was no one living in this village before? How come no one guarded this cherry, no one thought about it?

It's just that now only the sparrow and him come to have fun.

"well……"

The little girl imitated his tone and sighed, but her voice was soft and soft, like a baby's voice.

I just don't know what the cat is worried about.

"Da da da……"

Only the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance.

A black horse with shiny hair, a swordsman in black with a sword on his back, and something on his back.

"Call..."

The horse neighed and stopped.

"gentlemen."

The swordsman quickly got off his horse and let the object hang on the horse. It was a strange head: "Shu has found out that the one making trouble on Chongbie Mountain is a mountain demon, and Shu has killed it!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

The Taoist said while picking cherries.

On the contrary, the little girl on the horse next to her turned her head, her eyes sparkled and she was full of curiosity:

"How did you kill it?"

"This mountain monster is better than other mountain monsters only in the ability of illusion and bewitching, but in fact, other places are not much different from other mountain monsters." The swordsman said casually, "Probably no one has passed here for a long time. The monster is probably used to cannibalism, hungry and thirsty, before Shu went to find it, it had already found Shu first, changed into a passer-by, and breathed out to confuse Shu, trying to deceive Shu."

"and after?"

The swordsman just smiled slightly.

What's next?

With a firm mind and neither greed nor arrogance, how can you be so easily bewitched? What's more, the sword in my hand has already slashed monsters and ghosts countless times. Seeing the monster's own reaction, I looked at it coldly, turned my head and spit, and the sword was out of its sheath.

But it is inconvenient to take it out and blow it.

At this time, Song You had already finished picking the cherries, glanced at the bloody head immediately, and said, "Let's continue walking, pass by Linxun County, and tell the local people that the Chongbie Mountain monster has been eliminated."

"yes."

The group continued on.

It's just that this trip is not like before——

In the past, Song You walked through Yizhou, Xuzhou and Pingzhou in detail. It took a few months for a state, and he might have walked through every county, but it was far from being able to say that he had walked through every county. Later, Jingzhou and Angzhou went more roughly than Xuzhou and Pingzhou. They only went to places with beautiful mountains and rivers, places with unique folk customs, visited gods and gods, and went to particularly prosperous and poor places. It was inevitable to skip some.

No one can measure every inch of land in the world in twenty years.

However, when traveling to Hezhou now, one does not go all the way north, but starts from Zhijiang and Lanmo, and walks through every county in Hezhou side by side.

The cherries in February and March make people's teeth sour.

Later, elm money, sophora japonica flowers in April, voles and rabbits by the mountain roadside, pheasant and bird eggs, and even other larger wild animals are the food that the group often eats.

Tiangong Leibu and Doubu gods' elimination of demons is not exhaustive, and most of their energy is used to fight against several big demon kings, and it is inevitable that there are some omissions in the rear. It’s just that many of these monsters who can’t be called demon kings can actually be regarded as great monsters in the south. These monsters in troubled times come from troubled times. They come quickly and quickly. quiet. Many monsters, regardless of the depth of their morality and ability, are more or less doing harm to the people of one side.

The Taoist was very patient and cut off one by one.

Unknowingly, Hezhou is full of legends.

Legend has it that there was a young Taoist who brought a short and thin bay red horse and a swordsman as his guardian. Some said they brought a three-coloured cat with them, others said they didn't. Some said that the swordsman was Shu Yifan, the Jinglei sword, while others said that he was just a villain in the world who had been influenced by Taoists.

It is said that wherever the Taoist goes, no matter whether it is a demon or a bad person, he will get rid of them.

It is said that the swordsman is very skilled in swordsmanship. When the long sword is drawn out of the sheath, the sword light is like thunder. It has the ability to slay demons and ghosts.

Those with higher Taoism will be led by Taoists.

No matter how powerful he is as a demon, there is no way he can escape.

It is said that even the bay red horse is very humane, can find springs in barren mountains, and drive on starry nights without a rein, but it always follows the Taoist.

Even the three-flowered cat seems unusual...

The further north you go, the fewer mountains and forests and the flatter the terrain.

In the midsummer of May and June, the water and grass are abundant, and there are more and more wild fruits and vegetables that can be eaten on the road, which is also the fun of the journey.

The swordsman begged a bow and arrow from a county magistrate, and if the place he traveled was not barren, he would often hunt some wild game. Empress Sanhua also often brought some things from the grass forest to feed Taoists and swordsmen.

At this time, the chill has receded, but it is not as hot as in the south. It is actually the most comfortable time here.

The thirty-nine counties in the five counties of Hezhou are actually larger than the forty-eight counties in the six counties of Pingzhou.

Counties are divided into big and small, rich and poor, and also different in stability and chaos.

In some counties there are not many monsters, or they are all little monsters. It only takes two or three days for a group of people to walk through it, and it only takes a few days to rest and stroll around.

In some counties, there are demons everywhere, or the Taoism is strong, or it takes more time to get rid of troubles, ranging from ten days to half a month.

It's been a long journey indeed.

From early spring to midsummer, and from midsummer to late autumn, across mountains and rivers, there are many winds and rains. Seeing the suffering of the people, the sinister monsters, the chivalrous people, and the thunderbolt killing demons at night, there are corrupt officials who have become worse in the troubled times of demons and ordinary people, and there are sages who will try their best to support the people under their rule no matter how chaotic the world is.

Among them, the perception of practice is really hard to describe.

And the number of monsters that have been killed is unknown.

In winter, Hezhou is a little bit colder than the south, and when the north wind blows, it is bone-chillingly cold.

The group of people all wore thicker clothes, that is, the three-colored cat, and sometimes the Taoist would put on a small dress made by himself, gray and black fabric, with a hood, quite a bit of a hermit tall cat style.

It's just that Mao'er doesn't know how long the road is at this time. She only knows that she follows the Taoist priest, which is similar everywhere.

The cat doesn't know how harsh the cold wind in the north is. Anyway, she is used to the wind and rain, and she has hair to keep out the cold. It really makes her feel uncomfortable, so she jumps on the back of her horse, retracts into the bag, and the wind and rain outside It has nothing to do with me, and I can still sleep peacefully, anyway, the Taoist priest will wake me up when I get to the place, full of sense of security.

Maybe they will know in the future, and that is also a matter of the future.

At this time, she just curled up in the quilt and fell asleep.

The horse swayed as it walked, and the bag also shook slightly, like a rocking bed, which gave her many dreams.

I dreamed that I opened my mouth and spit fire to get rid of evil spirits.

I dreamed that my Taoist priest was waving on the top of the mountain, and suddenly thousands of thunderbolts descended into the world, illuminating the world and destroying the demons all over the mountain.

Suddenly dreamed that in a messy small town, a large group of people who looked like they were going to starve to death brought grass and fruits to eat, thanked them a thousand words, and wanted to give them to them.

Suddenly dreamed that they were chasing monsters in the rainy night, their whole bodies were soaked, and Dada's hooves were heard in the patter.

Suddenly dreamed that I was walking on the mountain with two people and two horses. In front of the horses, I looked so small, and from a distance, I seemed to be walking in the sky. Suddenly dreamed that a group of me was walking by the lake. In the quiet dusk, I couldn't tell whether the two of them, the horse and the cat were walking on the road or in the lake. Suddenly, she dreamed that her horse was crouching at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and she was crouching too. The Taoist priest was sitting next to her, stroking her hair with her hands, and she was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

In the dream, the sun rises and sets, spring goes and autumn comes, and the wind is cloudy and snowy.

False and real, true and false are difficult to distinguish.

All in all, a big mess.

When she woke up in a daze, she rubbed her eyes with her small paws wearing white gloves, got out of the quilt bag, stared at the cold wind and looked up, a city had already appeared in the distance.

The cat turned his head and looked at his Taoist priest:

"Are we getting there?"

"Soon."

"Where is this place?"

"Jingyu County."

Jingyu County, Pujun County, Hezhou Government Office.

"Jingyu County~"

The cat repeated the Taoist's words in a low voice, staring forward with a pair of amber eyes, trying to remember it, so that next time it dreams of it, it will know where it is.

Horse bells jingle.

At dusk, a group of people walked to the gate of the city.

After all, the Hezhou prefecture is guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are also temples and palaces. It is relatively peaceful, and there are people coming and going at the gate of the city, but it is not as lively and prosperous as Yidupingdu.

Two soldiers guarded the gate of the city, checking the people coming and going. In addition, there was a middle-aged man with a mustache, holding a bench, with his hands in his sleeves, and sat still.

It looks like it's waiting for something.

Glancing up intermittently, seeing Song You and his party approaching, the middle-aged man immediately stood up, took a few more glances, and trotted up to meet them.

"Mr. Song!"

The middle-aged man with a mustache shouted while running, and when he stopped in front of Song You, he bowed and saluted: "I have seen you, sir, the villain has waited for you!"

"This is..."

"My sheriff can wait for a long time."

"oh……"

Song You nodded, not too surprised.

For more than half a year, he has been traveling in Hezhou, slaying demons and eliminating demons. Sometimes he does not need to deal with the officials in the city, and sometimes he cannot avoid contact with them. In addition, he meets rich villagers, people from the rivers and lakes on the road, and even some skilled people who want to exorcise the local evil spirits. , The more people he met, the more his reputation spread far. Occasionally, an official counted the time and greeted him at the gate of the city.

Some want to get acquainted with tall people.

In some cases, the demons are in chaos, the people are miserable, and the officials are impatient, and they want to get rid of the demons as soon as possible.

In short, the minds are different.

It's just that I heard that the county magistrate in Pujun is very capable, and the rule is relatively peaceful, and it's easy to go along the way. I think it should be more peaceful to rule.

Secondly, when Song You looked at this middle-aged man, for some reason, he always felt familiar.

I saw that the middle-aged man followed him after he finished giving the gift, and went into the city with him, saying as he walked, "It's been a long time since I saw you. A few days ago, I sent a villain here to welcome you, and wait for the gentleman to come."

"Um?"

This made Song You puzzled, and turned to look at him:

"Have you ever seen the sheriff?"

"Naturally."

"I don't know the county guard's name?"

"In front of Mr., I dare not be honored. My surname is Liu."

"Liu..."

"My surname is Liu, my first name is Gao, and my courtesy name is Changfeng."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I used to be the county magistrate in Yidu, although I didn't see you very much, but when my husband left Yidu, my county guard came to see him off."

"ah……"

Asked the surname, surprised to see it for the first time, said the name and recalled the old appearance.

Song You couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.
