"It's polite."

"Ouch! It's a Taoist priest!" The woodcutter immediately stopped singing, looked at Song You curiously, and asked, "Where is the Taoist priest going? Could it be that he came to visit this mountain? cat?"

"It's about the same." Song You saluted him, "My surname is Song Mingyou. I came from Yizhou to travel around the world. I heard that there is a mountain here, which has a rare and beautiful scenery in Yangzhou. I also heard that there is a mountain at the foot of the mountain. The god of pleasure is quite special, so come and visit. It's just that the temple of the god of pleasure seems to have been dilapidated for a long time."

"It broke early! It broke last year!" Hearing this, the woodcutter put down a large bundle of firewood on his shoulders, and looked Song You up and down, "I heard that the Taoist priest claimed to be a Taoist priest, doesn't he?"

"It's just a matter of habit." Song You smiled slightly, "The words you sing with your steps don't look like woodcutters."

"The villain is just a woodcutter." The woodcutter wiped his sweat with his hands, "It's just that when I was young, there lived a Taoist priest from the county in the temple at the foot of the mountain. The Taoist priest lived here alone, and no one talked about villains. Every day when I pass by this temple, I will talk to him a few words, and after a long time, I will also learn a few words."

"That priest still likes poetry?"

"That Taoist priest has a literary talent!" The woodcutter stared at him, and then sighed, "It's just that I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know how he is doing..."

"I just went to Qingyun Palace yesterday, and I heard from Taoist Master Qing Huaizi of Qingyun Palace, who is also the younger brother of the Taoist priest mentioned above, that the Taoist priest is now proficient in Taoism and faintly wants to take over Qingyun Palace. Pretty good." Song You said with a smile.

"That's good!"

The woodcutter smiled immediately, waved his hands and said, "When I cut firewood on the mountain, I received a lot of kindness from him."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"What kind of favor can we have? Those of us who are hard workers and coolies are tired every day in the mountains. It is not easy to have a place to beg for saliva. Sometimes we are bitten by snakes and insects, or accidentally fall. I twisted my muscles and bones when I went down the mountain ridge, and that Taoist master also knows some herbal medicine skills, if it wasn't for him, the villain might not be able to go up the mountain now."

"What a kind man."

"Who says it's not? If he can really be a temple master, he deserves it!"

"hehe……"

Song You smiled twice in response, looked away from the woodcutter's face, and then asked: "I go up the mountain every day to cut firewood, do you know when the statue in the temple at the foot of the mountain was broken? "

"Temple statue?"

"Exactly."

"It's a long time to say..."

The woodcutter took the time to rest and chatted with him: "In the past, the government suddenly built a temple here, saying that they would seal a god here and bless us in the future. However, no one was blessed. On the contrary, sometimes people who entered the mountain were killed Frightened by the gods, villains dare not go up the mountain to cut firewood for several years. Especially in the first few years, when the people at the foot of the mountain are not diligent enough to offer incense and offerings, the gods will come to remind them in dreams, and sometimes even threaten them. So last year or the year before last, the government sent someone again, saying that they had demoted the gods and told us not to worship them in the future."

As the woodcutter spoke, he looked Song You up and down again: "Couldn't the Taoist priest also come to look for that fairy?"

"It sounds like someone else has come to look for it?"

"Hey! You are quite smart, young bud!"

"..." Song You didn't say anything, but continued to ask gently, "Can you tell me?"

The three-colored cat at the foot also raised its head, turned to stare at the Taoist priest for a while, then turned its head to the other side, staring straight at the woodcutter's face.

"That is to say, not long after the government demoted the gods, the villain went up the mountain to cut firewood, and an old Taoist priest came over and asked the villain the way to go up the mountain, and asked where the god most often appeared." The woodcutter said these words. At that time, the voice became obviously quieter, but the expression showed a bit of excitement, "That night, someone saw the golden light on the mountain here, and when the villain came to the mountain to chop firewood the next day, he found that the statue in the temple at the foot of the mountain had been broken into pieces. Blocks, many trees on the mountain were also broken."

"I see."

"In my opinion! That old Taoist priest must be a god, and he came to the lower realm to eliminate the evil gods on the mountain!"

"Most likely..."

"Daozhang, why are you looking for that evil god?"

"I'm just curious, and by the way, climb up and look far away."

"I have nothing to do when I'm idle..."

"Haha, thank you, sir."

Song You cupped his hands with a smile and bid farewell to him.

Then continue to walk up the mountain.

The dense forest was deep in front of him, and the same was true behind him. After a while, the woodcutter sang loudly, and the singing shook Lin Yue.

"Don't say everything turns out to be empty...

"It's all a dream when you haven't turned your head..."

The Taoist looked calm and kept walking.

There are mountain springs turned into streams, gurgling down.

The Taoist was tired from walking and felt thirsty, so he stretched out his hand to grab a handful, put it in his mouth, and his mouth was full of freshness and sweetness.

"Young Ya'er Daoist!"

"..."

Song You followed the sound, and saw that the cat was also leaning over to the stream, but turned to look at him.

Her delicate face was reflected in the water of the stream, as well as that expression of doubt mixed with novelty, her eyes were as pure as amber.

"Why did he call you Taoist Master Ning Ya'er?"

"Maybe it's because I look young, the local dialect." Song You replied in a low voice, "There's no need to worry about it."

"Hey! You, the tender bud, is quite smart!"

"Empress Sanhua doesn't need to learn these..."

"Miss Sanhua wants to learn this!"

"..."

"Today, all the gods on this mountain were beaten to death by that old Taoist priest. Do we still have to go to the mountain?" Sanhuamao asked seriously.

"Naturally."

"I have nothing to do when I'm idle~"

"Mistress Sanhua..."

"Well?"

The cat turned his head, but stared at him suspiciously.

"well……"

Song You shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said to her: "Miss Sanhua, hurry up and finish drinking the water, we are ready to go."

"OK!"

Only then did Sanhuamao calm down, and lowered its body a little more, lowered its head, and licked the water in the stream.

It seems to be a little puzzled, but I can't remember it.

So it was quickly forgotten.

"Miss Sanhua is about to finish drinking the water!" Mao'er raised his body, walked back from the stream, and looked up at the Taoist at the same time, "Let's go, Daoist Nengyaer!"

"..."

One person and one cat continued to go up, and the swallows flew in the air.

Overlooking the rivers and rivers below the mountain, overlooking Yinhua County, all the way up to the heights, the autumn air is refreshing, and you have already seen the scenery.

Gradually reached the deep mountains, where the spiritual power is the strongest.

There are waterfalls in front of this place and fruit forests in the back. You can listen to the sound of water, sit and watch the rivers and rivers. Surrounded by clouds and mist, the aura is rich, the birds are constantly singing, and the fragrance is endless. It is really a fairy place.

"Hiss..."

The cat started sniffing around in the grass again.

Song You also walked casually, looking around.

Among some gravels, there are gnawed fruit cores, which were neither buried by soil, nor rotted, nor did they take root and sprout, but just turned black and rotted, probably left over from last year at least. This seems to indicate that the God of Pleasure once lived and practiced here.

A year and a half is not enough to erase all traces of fighting skills.

At least the broken tree next to it hasn't grown back yet. At most, new shoots have grown from the break. Instead, the length of the new shoots can determine the time of the break.

Song You stretched out his hand to feel the fracture, and also felt the new branches and buds.

Probably last spring and summer.

The fractures were broken, smashed, and severed. Some tree trunks still had pierced wounds, and most of them had grown into scars.

"Golden Needle Talisman..."

Song You touched the scar on the tree and guessed in his heart.

Then he turned his head and looked into the distance.

There are faint scratch marks at the bottom of the cliff, which have not faded away, and blood-stained monkey hairs are also stuck to some stones, which have not been washed away by the rain.

"Meow~"

The cat found two treasures.

The same is the spiritual plant in the mountains, bearing spiritual fruit, which just matures at this time and emits a tempting fragrance, even in the eyes of people and demons who have practiced, there is still a faint light of spirituality.

The same is the corpse of the god of pleasure.

It was a huge mandrill sitting against a tree.

The mandrill itself has Taoism and practice, and it is a god sealed here. The whole mountain is its jurisdiction, and its corpse will not rot naturally in this mountain.

But not corrupt does not mean forever.

Song You walked a foot in front of it, and looked at it, only to see that this mandrill was sitting against a tree, its posture was very human-like, and besides its body covered with cuts and bruises, its color began to fade slowly. At first glance, I thought it was covered in sand and wind, but when I looked closely, I found that it was on the way to transform into a stone statue.

It may not be a few years, and if no one moves it off the mountain, it will be reduced to a stone in no time.

At that time, when future generations come here and see this stone, they will also be surprised that it looks like a human and a monkey, and then give it some name, and regard it as one of the wonders of this mountain.

It seems that this God of Pleasure is not as capable as the God of Peace, and he killed the expert sent by the National Teacher to kill it here. After all, the National Teacher is still good at calculating, and the people sent this time did not miss again.

Song You stared at it, but was very emotional.

At the beginning, the national teacher enshrined it as a god here, and Qingyun Palace sent Taoists to do temple blessings for it, to help it gather incense and consolidate its position as a god. It can be regarded as a simple monster that talks about etiquette. I heard that in the next few years, it kept its own law and order and never made trouble.

It's been a few years since the rebellion happened.

A mandrill is a god, and it will fall in a few years.

Will the gods of Tiangong also fall like this?

Song You thought about this question and remained silent for a long time.

"Taoist, look at this!"

A soft voice pulled him out.

Song You turned his eyes away from the mandrill, looked at the cat and the spirit tree not far away, and explained: "It's just that the wild fruit in the mountain has abundant aura and good luck, absorbing the aura and becoming a spirit plant. The spiritual fruit that people in the world often talk about is a treasure of heaven and earth, but it is also rare. If Mistress Sanhua likes it, you can pick a few and taste it, maybe it will also help your cultivation."

"Helpful for cultivation!"

"Then pick a few and try them."

"There are a lot of knots!"

"Just pick a few to satisfy your hunger. The spiritual fruit is precious, so let it stay here and wait for someone who is destined."

"precious!!"

"It's not suitable to exchange such a treasure for money. It would be a waste of money." Song You said patiently, "Compared with this, it's better to leave it here for someone who is destined to come. It's very wonderful."

"Fateful person!"

"Miss Sanhua is also a predestined person, but Mistress Sanhua can't eat it all by herself."

"Fated cat!"

"yes……"

"Then how many do you pick?"

"Three flowers are enough for Empress Sanhua. If you eat more, it will only quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger."

"Three!"

"yes……"

"One, two, three, three for Empress Sanhua, three for Ma'er, three for Swallow, three for Nenya'er Daochang..."

The cat turned into a little girl, but still couldn't help being greedy. She pulled her clothes to make pockets, stretched out her hands on tiptoes, picked fruits from a small tree not much taller than her, and put them all in her pockets.

There are probably more than twenty fruits on this tree.

They are all bright red, as big as a fist, and they are already ripe. When you pick them, they are still covered with clouds and mist, which is extraordinary at a glance.

In this way, a tree is half gone.
