I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"Yushan is easy to walk!"

Qing Huaizi said to Song You: "Our Yangzhou waterways extend in all directions, and people travel by water more often. The Taoist priest will go to the ferry tomorrow, and he can just find a boat heading towards Yangdu. It's just that there is no ferry at Yushan Mountain. If you leave early in the morning, you will be able to reach the foot of Yushan Mountain in the middle of the afternoon or in the evening. If it is a big boat, the Taoist priest will have to sit at the next place where there is a ferry. Let you come down, you have to go back twenty miles."

Qing Huaizi paused for a while, fearing that he would not know, and explained to him in detail:

"If the Taoist priest is afraid that the ferry boat he is looking for will not know where Yushan is, he will go to Yinhua County. From here to the east, there are very few mountains, mostly small mountains. When the small family is approaching the Yinhua Ferry, the Taoist priest can From the right hand side, you can see a majestic mountain, and on the side facing the river, there is a steep rock wall, as if cut by a knife, and the cliff does not grow grass, so it is Mount Yushan."

"Sounds like a nice view, too."

"Yangzhou is a rare and good mountain." Qing Huaizi said with a smile, "When Pindao was in his twenties, he also traveled to other counties, and he also went to Mt. trip."

"Then it's like going to climb a mountain to enjoy the autumn."

"Daozhang Yaxing!"

"How much is the boat to Yushan?"

The girl turned her restless head back when she heard the words, and focused her eyes on Qing Huaizi's face.

"That depends on what kind of boat the Taoist priest takes." Qing Huaizi laughed, "Yangzhou is rich and prosperous, so go to Yushan to the east, go to Yangdu to the east, and go to the Qingnv River, there are both large and small boats. Daoist If you take a big boat that is popular with merchants and businessmen, with singers and dancers playing, and enough drinks, the price will be expensive. If you take a small boat, depending on the size and the number of people, it usually costs 20 yuan per person. Money. But if the return trip goes against the current, it will have to be doubled.”

"Yangzhou merchants will really enjoy it."

"Which way should the Taoist sit?"

"We can just take a boat."

"The small boat is good. The light boat and the flowing water can cover a hundred miles in half a day."

"Thank you, fellow daoist."

"It's just chatting, why talk about thanking you?"

After Qing Huaizi finished speaking, he frowned again, couldn't help being curious, and asked him: "The national teacher has really passed away? Why didn't the poor Taoist hear about it, and how did the Taoist master know?"

"Don't dare to lie." Song You said, "We entered Langzhou from Yaozhou, and Yaozhou from Fengzhou. When passing through Fengzhou, we happened to see the death of the national teacher."

"seen it myself?"

"seen it myself."

"this……"

Qing Huaizi was still surprised, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Song You was not surprised by this.

Chang Yuanzi should have a very high status in the hearts of Taoists all over the world, and his image is also excellent, especially in orthodox Taoist temples.

As soon as he came to the country, the teacher was originally from Luming Mountain, which is one of the four famous Taoist mountains in the world. There is no fault in his birth, so he naturally has a good position in Taoism in the world. Second, the national teacher once controlled the government, and even the status of all the Taoist temples and Taoists in the world in Dayan rose. Moreover, the national teacher's reputation in the court and among the people is very good, and it is normal for people who practice Taoism to regard him as a role model.

Song You didn't say anything, after drinking the tea, he said goodbye to Qing Huaizi and left.

Girls and teenagers followed closely behind him.

After they had left for a long time, a little boy came in to clear the tea sets on the table. At the same time, he stared curiously at Qing Huaizi who was meditating next to him, and asked, "Master, who are those two guests?"

"I've never seen it either."

"Then why are you so polite to them, master?"

"It must be a fairy in the world."

"Fairy?"

"Jiorang Mountain, God of Anle..." Qing Huaizi muttered to himself, couldn't help being curious, and suddenly got up, "I have to find out what happened to Jiurang Mountain..."

...

Early the next morning, Qingnv crossed the ferry.

The young Taoist was only carrying a satchel with two layers of pockets. The first layer contained a three-colored cat, showing a round cat head. He looked at the world curiously. The first layer contained dry food. The Taoist scanned the ferry with a bamboo stick. and ship passengers.

The place is really bustling and lively. There are all kinds of boats parked on both sides of the river, melon skin boats, pontoon boats, big yellow boats, small yellow boats, cargo boats and painted boats, all neatly arranged along the river.

There are hard laborers carrying goods onto the ship, and there are also passengers who carry their luggage to distant lands or say goodbye to their relatives.

Standing here with a cane, people are coming and going, and there is constant noise. Although I haven't moved a step, I have a feeling of passing through the whole world.

Or maybe it's from this era.

It is not certain that the person who walks by the Taoist with a parcel at this time and goes away in a small boat is a great poet who has been passed down through the ages. Thousands of future generations will be distressed by reciting his poems, or It is a politician who can influence the whole world, and the world will change because of him.

If Song You had the ability to count the ancestors in the sky, he would have a panoramic view of thousands of people coming and going, and his luck should be panoramic, but if he didn't, it would be another kind of fun.

"..."

Song You smiled slightly, and finally took a step forward.

Before approaching, someone asked:

"Where is sir going?"

"Go to Yushan."

Immediately, someone in the distant crowd shouted:

"But Yinhua's Yushan?"

Song You heard the sound and saw that he was a middle-aged boatman.

"Exactly."

"There is only one person left, let's go now!"

"How much is the boat?"

"Just go to Yinhua County and find a good place to disembark at Xiaoren in Yushan. Please, sir, jump and go down." The boatman looked at Song You with a smile, "Just take twenty-five renminbi. Bar."

"Meow..."

"Twenty Wen."

Song You lowered his head and patted the cat's head.

"The wind is not going well today." The boatman said with a bitter face, "The villain only earns coolie money."

"Meow!"

"Twenty Wen, all for Xiaoping."

Song You couldn't help smiling, and suddenly thought of the Nianping Ferry that went to Anqing back then. The past is so touching.

Even the cat raised its head and stared up at Song You.

It seems that this kind of conversation is a bit familiar.

"Sir, please come aboard!"

The boatman propped up a melon skin boat.

The melon skin boat is very small, and only one person can sit in a row. Several people sit in a row. From a distance, it is hard to tell whether they are squatting or sitting.

However, the melon-piped boat is brisk, and what the boatman said about the unfavorable wind is also a lie. In fact, the boat is going with the current and the wind, and many big boats are easily surpassed by them all the way east.

After leaving Qingnv County, there are mostly fertile fields and good mountains on both sides of the strait. No one on the boat spoke. Only the boatman saw that Song You was a Taoist and said a few words to him. Most of the time, Song You just sat silently watching the scenery on both sides of the strait, licking cats. Whispered a few words with Empress Sanhua, and before I knew it, I had already traveled a hundred miles.

Sure enough, mountains appeared by the river in the distance.

The river road begins to pass through the canyon, and there are towering mountains on both sides. The cliffs are almost vertical, and there is no grass on the rocks. The graceful Yangzhou scenery is a little more magnificent and majestic here.

"Go to Yushan Mountain!"

The boatman turned his head and shouted to Song You, pointing to the sky: "This is Yushan, Tianmenyan."

"This mountain seems to be very big."

"It's very big!" The boatman grinned, "From a distance, it's not that big. If you get close, it's big. If you go up the mountain, you can't even see the sun!"

“Nice view...”

"Wait until there is a place to get off, the villain pulls the boat over there and slows down a little bit. After a hard effort, sir, he jumps on it, so as not to find a place to dock."

"Thank you."

Song You counted out twenty Wen coins and handed them to the boatman.

The boat quickly approached a shore.

The cat had already stood by the boat and waited, turning her head to stare at the boatman with a serious face. When the boatman jumped, she suddenly exerted strength, jumped lightly, and landed steadily on the shore.

There was a burst of praise on the boat.

Song You also took a step and jumped onto the shore.

The boatman was still standing on the boat, smiling, punting the boat while praising Song You's cat for its spirituality.

The boat carried the rest of the guests, and gradually went away.

Sanhuamao was expressionless, as if she was not at all proud of the boatman and guests' praise, she just looked up at Song You, and then said: "If our boat is not sold, Sanhua Empress can also come out to earn money by sailing the boat." money."

"Have you held back all the way?"

"Running a boat makes money!"

"Empress Sanhua should concentrate on writing her overseas travel notes." Song You said, raising his head and looking at the sky, "I don't know if the God of Pleasure is still there."

As the boatman said, when you reach the foot of the mountain, you will know how big the mountain is.

Looking up at this time, the woods are lush, and there is only a pitiful little bit of the sky revealed, and whether it is the rocky cliff next to it or the top of the mountain directly in front, there is a feeling of endlessness.

The swallows had already flown into the mountains to find the temple.

Song You also took a step towards the mountains.

The aura here is rich, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. Sometimes there are birdsong, which makes the mountains more secluded, and it is cool in late autumn. However, the vegetation in the mountains is not much withered, and they are still green.

Under the guidance of Yanzi, Song You quickly found the temple of the God of Pleasure.

However, the temple is in ruins. It was originally a small temple at the foot of the mountain, but now the statue of the god was broken, the altar collapsed, and some broken bowls and tiles were scattered in front of the temple, which was almost flooded by weeds.

The smell of incense has long since disappeared.

"The temple seems to be rotten..."

The three-flowered cat turned around and said to the Taoist.

"Saw."

Song You nodded, but continued to look up the mountain.

The aura in the mountains is stronger than that in the mountains.

Song You took another step, not intending to enter the temple to find out, but continued to walk up the mountain.

This mountain is good, just suitable for climbing.

Faintly heard the woodcutter singing freely in the mountains, the voice echoed endlessly, full of charm, and saw the birds in the mountains greedy, eating fermented berries on the ground, and passed out drunk by the side of the road.

"If you want to loosen the wind, blow off the tea smoke, and see me in the white clouds, Anzhi is not a fairy...

"Before the moon falls and the wind blows, be free and easy...

"If you are happy, you will sing happily, and if you are sleepy, you will sleep..."

The singing sounds like singing and reading, with a long aftertaste.

Song You followed the sound and met a woodcutter.
