I didn't intend to be a Fairy
Chapter 449 Prosperous Yangdu (please ask for monthly tickets for more updates)
In Qingyun Palace.
Qing Huaizi sat cross-legged on the ground with Taoist scriptures in his hand, green smoke wafted from the copper censer on the table next to him, with a calming smell, and the faint sound of disciples chanting sutras in evening class came from the hall outside the door, The Taoist music in the palace also has a bit of the gentleness and elegance of Yangzhou, which is consistent with it and makes people calm.
Qing Huaizi did not read the Taoist scriptures, but thought about what he had learned yesterday.
Yangzhou has a well-developed commerce and trade, and there are businessmen coming and going everywhere. The palaces and temples are also a place where fish and dragons are mixed together. There are also many merchants from Langzhou. Qing Huaizi knew it after a little inquiring.
About a month ago, at the junction of Langzhou and Yangzhou, on Jiurang Mountain, there was a grand ceremony for the God of Anle. A person took part in the ceremony with a girl. After that day, the statue of the God of Anle was broken and the temple was half destroyed, leaving only a piece in front of the temple. A stele was cut from the mountain stone to inform the villagers that the evil god had been eliminated.
Five of the six animals were returned to their original owners. The master who slayed the evil god only took one chicken and left without leaving his name.
Qing Huaizi couldn't help but think back to the Taoist priest a few days ago.
Although the Taoist himself did not show any extraordinary features, his words were gentle and polite, and his conversation was also extraordinary. In addition to the girls and teenagers beside him, if you think about it carefully, there are actually extraordinary features everywhere.
"..."
I don't know whether he is a deity from the Heavenly Palace or an expert hidden in the mountains. Just listening to him punish evil gods, not leaving a name and making no profit, and only taking a chicken away, his character is admirable enough.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the window.
"Plop flop..."
Qing Huaizi turned around and looked doubtfully.
I saw a swallow flying outside the window. The swallow was a common swallow, but it was grabbing something under its feet.
If you look closely, it is a red fruit tied with a thin string, the size of an egg. An ordinary swallow would not be able to fly while holding something so heavy, but it flies easily.
The swallow fluttered its wings and stayed outside the window for a moment, looking into the room with a pair of black eyes, sweeping over his face again and again, as if confirming the person in the room, and finally flew in after a while.
"..."
Even though Qing Huaizi had already guessed in his mind, after all, he had rarely seen such a strange thing, he still couldn't help but leaned back slightly and subconsciously avoided it.
After reacting, he quickly returned to his original position.
The swallow landed on the table.
The red fruit also fell on the table, rolled around two or three times, and then stopped after stretching the thin string.
"Dare to ask..."
Qing Huaizi looked at it anxiously.
Yan Zi also opened his eyes and looked at him, but he also opened his mouth and spoke in human words: "But Taoist Master Qing Huaizi?"
"Exactly!"
"We met a few days ago, but I'm just stupid and have blurred the Taoist priest's true appearance in my mind. Please forgive me."
It was also a gift, and Yanzi spoke much more calmly and naturally than Anqing did back then.
"Don't dare..."
Qing Huaizi held the Taoist scriptures and talked with the bird, always felt strange, but he was a Taoist after all, so he kept calm and asked, "What's the matter with Xiao Yanxian here?"
"It's like this. Thanks to the Taoist priest for guiding the way, my husband went to Yushan for a walk a few days ago. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, full of spiritual energy, and a lot of harvest. We were warmly received by the Taoist priest that day, and my husband also kept chanting. Daoist's hospitality." Yanzi said in one breath, but his tone was a bit recited, "My husband and I will leave tomorrow, just a few days ago when we visited Yushan Mountain, we found it in a place full of spiritual energy in the mountains. I picked a few spiritual fruits from a plant, so my husband specially asked me to bring one to give the Taoist priest a taste as a token of my gratitude."
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
"Since the spiritual fruit has been delivered, I didn't dare to disturb you too much, so I said goodbye to the Taoist Master."
"..."
Swallow followed the procedure that he had secretly rehearsed several times in his mind on the way here, and finally finished speaking without stumbling or embarrassing his husband, and then he did not give Qing Huaizi a chance to reply, he just turned around and flapped his wings, Then he flew out of the window again.
The blue sky is still vast and the wind is at ease.
Qing Huaizi stood up quickly, walked to the window, bowed her hands and watched him go away, her eyes still wide open.
"really……"
It was indeed a swallow.
If he talks so well and behaves so politely, he must not be an ordinary mountain spirit. In addition, the Yanxian appeared that day, so he must be a descendant of the Yanxian.
Qing Huaizi watched from a distance until the little black spot disappeared into the air and could not be found, then she looked away, and quickly sat back to her original position, pinching the red fruit on the table, carefully.
The red fruit is crystal clear and exudes a strange fragrance. When you smell it, you feel comfortable all over your body. It seems that your energy and spirit have returned to the best after a good night's sleep. When you hold it still and look carefully, it seems that the fruit is still there It exudes a faint mist, if it is there or not, it is mysterious, almost the same as what is recorded in the book.
It's almost the same as what the senior brother said.
"It really is a spiritual fruit..."
Qing Huaizi opened his eyes wide and murmured to himself.
"That..."
I just wanted to exchange a pot of tea and a few plates of fruit for a treasure of heaven and earth, and I have made a lot of money, but when I think about it carefully, it is just mutual kindness, so there is really no need to worry about it. I just wanted to say that the boy that day was indeed a descendant of Anqing Yanxian, and that Taoist priest is probably also a fairy, but seeing his character today, it doesn't seem to matter whether he is a fairy or not.
Qing Huaizi thought about it and felt that the more it tasted, the more fragrant it became. He simply took the fruit on his sleeve and rubbed it before putting it into his mouth.
The spirit fruit is refreshing, as light as water in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste.
…
One man, one cat and one horse, walking along the official road.
Swallows were flying left and right in the sky.
Song You didn't take the water route, but he almost walked along the Qingnv River. Most of the time, he could see the river water, which was good, at least it was convenient to get water.
From here we go east, directly to Yangdu.
There is a god of bliss in Yangdu, the only one among the five earth gods who is sealed in a town.
However, Song You didn't go directly to Yangdu, but first walked along the Qingnv River and then along the Daoliu River, and went around Yangzhou half a circle to visit the God of Anyi in the south, and then the God of Peace in the east.
The god of peace in the south kept his own place. While collecting natural materials and treasures for the national teacher, he did not appear at will to scare the local people, nor did he take incense, nor did he directly devour them like the god of peace in Jiurang mountain Living people also require human beings to be sacrificed to him. Therefore, although the national teacher was also prepared and sent an expert from the people, he only asked the expert from the people to investigate and supervise. When he found that the God of Anyi did not overstep, he just deposed him from the position of God, and did not Did not kill it.
The God of Peace in the east is the most irritable, and his excesses are even higher than that of the God of Peace in Jiurang Mountain.
When Song You went to the place, the local gentry and tyrants were still wantonly collecting people's fat and people's anointing to offer to the God of Peace, and they also collected beautiful women everywhere to offer to the God of Peace as wives and concubines.
But in fact, after several visits and investigations, Song You found that more than a year ago, the national teacher invited an old Taoist priest from Zhenshan to come forward, and he had already killed the god of peace. The so-called God of Peace, who is so panicked that even the local officials dare not speak out, is actually nothing but the evil of the people, with endless desires.
Naturally, he was handed over to the county magistrate for punishment.
By the time we reached Yangdu, it was already winter.
The Taoist has already put on thick clothes, led a bay red horse, and slowly approached this prosperous city in the world.
For ordinary cities, whether it is a county or a state, if you want to appreciate the prosperity of the city, you have to first see the city wall and enter the city gate to see the bustling streets.
Even Yidu is like this.
But Yangdu is the same as Changjing. Just approaching Yangdu, before entering the city, you can already see the villages all over the country, and the official roads are full of shops, restaurants, carriage shops and warehouses of freight merchants. The official road is almost built next to the river, and the boats on both sides of the river are constantly coming and going, and there are also a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians on both sides of the official road. People often stop to eat, drink, sleep and rest on the side of the road.
The water vapor from steaming noodles and soup cakes is really conspicuous in winter, and once the lid is lifted, it can rise to a high level, and several houses in a row seem to turn into clouds in the sky.
The wine flags fluttered in the cold wind, accompanied by the chatter, shouts and laughter of the customers in the shop below, before entering Yangdu, the excitement surpassed most of the cities along the way.
The scenery of the market town outside the city stretches for more than ten miles.
Even Song You couldn't help being hungry, so he stopped to eat a bowl of hot acorn noodles before continuing along the official road.
The Yangdu City Wall finally appeared in front of us.
"Yangdu..."
Song You stopped and raised his head, muttering to himself.
The cat also raised his head and stared at the top of the city wall.
Show the ultimatum and enter the city smoothly.
The city is even more crowded with merchants, thousands of merchants gather together, the spring breeze is ten miles, and the prosperity is like a dream.
"Meow..."
"yes."
Compared with the capital of Changjing, under the feet of the emperor, Yangdu doesn't have so many worries, it can be more publicized, and it is more like a consumer city-Yangdu is not close to Changjing, but it is better than the developed and convenient waterways. There have always been many dignitaries, literati and writers who have come here and played recklessly for a period of time before leaving, and some even lingered in the brothel all day until they spent all their money.
Song You watched as he walked.
There are thousands of brothels and countless painted bridges, but it is a pity that it is the cold winter, and the willow branches on the riverside have not yet sprouted, otherwise it should be picturesque.
"Meow?"
The sound of my own cat sounded at my feet.
Song You looked down at the non-stop walking, and replied as if talking to himself: "Let's find an inn to live in first..."
"Meow Ann?"
"There is no way. We are new here, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know where is better to live." Leaning on a bamboo stick, the Taoist said as he walked, not afraid of the strange eyes cast by passers-by on the road, "So we can only find an inn to live in first. For a few days, I will take a walk around Yangdu, and then I will find Fangyazi to rent a house. It is more convenient to cook by myself. The food here is not to my liking if you think about it in Sanhua Empress."
"Meow?"
"Ms. Sanhua still earns a lot of money."
"Meow!"
"Although honey is valuable, we don't have much, so we'd better leave Sanhua Empress to soak it in water and drink it."
"Well……"
The cat lowered its head, and continued to follow the Taoist with small steps, nimbly avoiding the feet of passers-by, while twisting its head, reflecting the city into its eyes with a pair of amber eyes.
…
The ranking at the beginning of the month is more important, so I will continue to add more and ask for monthly votes!
Be more respectful first! Can enter the top ten plus!
Exchange your sincerity for your sincerity!
Please, please (put hands together)~
