I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"I've just finished cooking, and my Taoist friend came here. It's fate." Song You smiled and said, "We just happened to have something to eat together."

"Ouch! That poor Taoist came at the wrong time!" Wen Pingzi suddenly looked embarrassed and ashamed, "It's just that the poor Taoist came from outside the city and was so eager to see you that he forgot the time."

"That's wrong. Fellow Taoist came at the right time." Song You smiled slightly, but he found it interesting.

Along the way, I have also visited several temples in various places. I was often entertained by other Taoist priests. I was not used to it at first, but gradually it became natural. Today, it was my turn to entertain other Taoist priests.

"This morning I strolled around Yangdu with Tong'er and bought a few new dishes that are not common in Changjing. One of them was carrots. I wanted to use them to stew a pot of beef and comfort the five internal organs temple. But unexpectedly, I usually use it to stew beef. The beef that can be easily bought on the streets of Liyangdu is nowhere to be found today." Song You said, "It turns out that fellow Taoists are coming."

"Your Majesty, how dare you..."

"I am just a person in the mountains."

"The poor Taoist has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey."

The two Taoists walked into the main room one behind the other.

The little girl, dressed in three-color clothes, was holding a large basin of white soup in both hands. She walked slowly over and tiptoed to place it on the table.

Several dishes have been placed on the table.

There was no expression on the little girl's face, she just felt serious. She turned around and ran out again, bringing in bowls and chopsticks.

"This is Empress Sanhua."

"Pindao knows." Wen Pingzi said quickly, "Before, Pindao worked for the Imperial Master at Juxian Mansion in Changjing. He had seen your distinguished master and Empress Sanhua from a distance."

"I see."

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."

"Don't talk about that. The visitor is a guest. He just wants to taste my craftsmanship. Don't call me a distinguished person. Just call him fellow Taoist." Song You paused and distributed the bowls and chopsticks to him, " It turns out that we have heard of fellow Taoist’s name before.”

"oh?"

Wen Pingzi held the bowls and chopsticks, but was too embarrassed to move them.

"Yinhua in Lejun, the god of pleasure in Xushan." Song You said to him with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, please don't be restrained."

"Zhishan..."

Wen Pingzi suddenly realized.

"We came all the way. I heard that there were five earth gods around Yangzhou, so we went to visit them one by one." Song You said, moving his chopsticks first.

First I tasted the stir-fried shredded potatoes, and then I tasted the pork ribs stewed with potatoes.

Unexpectedly, although this potato is small, it tastes very good. The shredded potatoes are crispy and refreshing, and the potatoes in the ribs are soft enough, which soon gave Song You a familiar feeling.

"I see."

Wen Pingzi also tentatively followed the pick-up menu, and his cloudy old eyes also lit up. Then he abided by the etiquette and sighed and said to him: "When the Imperial Master left, he ordered Pindao to come to Yangzhou to investigate Lejun. "Whether the God of Pleasure is honest? If not, he will be killed. Then let Pindao come and kill the God of Paradise in Yangdu, Pindao went to Le County first."

"Taoist, do you want food?" The little girl stared at Song You, then turned to look at Wen Pingzi, "Old Taoist, do you want food?"

"Please ask Empress Sanhua to serve us a bowl," Song You said.

"Thank you, Lady Sanhua." Wen Pingzi also said respectfully.

"OK!"

The little girl took the two bowls, slid down from the high bench, fell to the ground, and ran to the kitchen to serve the meal.

Two bowls of rice were quickly served.

"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."

"You're welcome!"

Most of the swallow potatoes seen in Yangdu recently are white. After being cooked, they will turn slightly green. The steamed rice is already soft, and the diced swallow potatoes add a lot of color.

Song You sandwiched the pork ribs with a rich soup and put it on the rice. The rice was dyed, and after one bite, the soft rice and sweet sweet potato diced, combined with the pork ribs soup, the rich fragrance and The familiar taste, the feeling of wanting nothing else in this life.

"When Pindao first arrived at Xushan Mountain in Le County, he heard that although the God of Pleasure was evil, he had never hurt anyone, especially in recent years. For some reason, he had restrained himself, but he still stayed in Xushan Mountain and was deposed. He refused to leave, so he started fighting with him." Wen Pingzi paused his chopsticks and said to him, "The God of Pleasure is really capable, a little more powerful than Pindao thought."

"These earth gods are not simple." Song You agreed.

"yes……"

Wen Pingzi also nodded and said seriously: "It should be that after the God of Enjoyment was sealed in Xishan Mountain, Qingyun Palace sent a Taoist friend to give him a temple blessing for a year. Although the Taoist friend did not practice Taoism, he But he was very accomplished in Taoist scriptures. During that year, the Taoist friend often studied Taoist scriptures in the temple, and he never slacked off in morning and evening classes. The earth god was afraid of being lonely in the mountains, so he often came secretly to listen to his chanting. , under the influence of what we hear and see... It’s interesting to say that people who recite the Taoist scriptures every day have not cultivated magic power, but the wild gods who eavesdropped have benefited a lot."

"It's indeed interesting." Song You nodded and asked, "How did fellow Taoist defeat it in the end?"

"..."

Wen Pingzi just took advantage of the free time to follow Song You's example and took a piece of pork ribs with his meal. He felt that the pork ribs were covered with soup, which was rustling, rich in fragrance, and full of spices. It was a delicacy he had never tasted before.

Savor it carefully, the more you taste it, the more fragrant it becomes.

But before he could marvel, Song You asked again, so he quickly put down his chopsticks, chewed faster, swallowed it, and then sighed.

"Alas, to be honest, when Pindao invited the gods from Tiangong Doube to possess him, even though his abilities were better than that of the God of Pleasure, I'm afraid he had to suffer some injuries." Wen Pingzi narrowed his eyes as he spoke, as if he was also caught in a trap. In his recollection of that night, he spoke lightly, "But at the last moment, a fellow Taoist came to the mountain, and it was the fellow Taoist from Qingyun Palace."

"Fellow Taoist said slowly, eating is the main thing, don't be anxious." Song You also became interested.

"The God of Pleasure was stunned when he saw that fellow Taoist. After a few words, he sighed and stopped resisting, saying that he would let me do whatever I wanted." Wen Pingzi said, "The poor Taoist can't bear to think of his original sin. When he saw that he could be saved like this, he was ready to let him go. Unfortunately, Pindao was willing to let him go, but the priest who was invited to the lower world by Pindao was not willing. He beat his soul out with a single blow and cut off the vitality of his body. "

"It's actually like this..."

Song You couldn't help but widen his eyes and feel a little sad.

It seems that back then, two beings who were supposed to have nothing to do with each other came to the foot of Mount Chu and spent a year together in the temple. Their friendship was not fake.

Then Song You ate his food and asked, "Who is the woodcutter I met below?"

"Fellow Taoist actually met him?"

"Naturally we met."

"He is the woodcutter at the foot of the mountain who often goes up the mountain to cut firewood. He is always blessed by the God of Pleasure. He just died of illness a few days ago and was lonely and helpless. There was no one to collect the body." Wen Pingzi said, "I miss him so much. Practicing practice was indeed not easy, so he advised him to repent and change his ways, and asked him to borrow the woodcutter's body temporarily, hoping that he would have another chance. Later, Pindao stayed secretly in Xishan Mountain for half a year, and saw that he only chopped firewood every day. After returning home, I only studied Taoist scriptures and poems, and the evil spirits in my body gradually dissipated, and it no longer troubled him."

"Fellow Taoist, be compassionate."

Song You said with a smile.

The little girl who had been eating silently next to her was stunned when she heard this and raised her head to stare at them.

Song You just smiled and said nothing——

The woodcutter was uneducated, and he usually went to the mountains to cut firewood to make a living. Even if he listened to the Taoist Priest of Qingyun Palace reciting poems and scriptures for a year, how could he remember so much?

There is a mountain spring flowing down the mountain, which is clear and delicious. How can you go to the temple at the foot of the mountain to ask for water?

It's just that before Song You went to Xishan, he also inquired about the God of Pleasure and learned that although he made mistakes, he did not devour living people or ask for human sacrifices like the God of Anle. When I arrived at Xushan Mountain and saw the woodcutter, I also saw a clean and hedonistic god.

So he went up the mountain and discovered that the winner of the original battle was indeed Wen Pingzi. He went down the mountain to test him with words, and finally left.

It's not that he has to let him go, it's just that the Imperial Master originally asked Wen Pingzi to deal with the God of Pleasure. Since Wen Pingzi chose to let him go, there was no need for Song You to hold on to him.

"Since fellow Taoist met him and saw the mystery, why did you let him go?" Wen Pingzi asked.

The girl also turned her head and stared at her Taoist priest.

Song You smiled slightly, and then told him about his encounter with the woodcutter that day, the conversation, the details he discovered, the woodcutter's eyebrows, his concealment and acting skills, which made Wen Pingzi even more interesting.

It's so wonderful that I can't help but throw my head back and laugh.

The natural freedom and ease of those who practice Taoism are fully revealed.

The two of them each ate two large bowls of rice. The dishes that Empress Sanhua said would take two days to finish were actually eaten in one meal. Even Song You felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw this.

Then Song You filled a bowl of fish soup.

The crucian carp is about three fingers wide and not too small. It is fried and boiled, and fried eggs, white radish and tofu are added. It is put into a bowl. The milk is as white and it tastes delicious just by looking at it.

He also served a bowl to Wen Pingzi.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist..."

Wen Pingzi was very satisfied with his meal, but looking at the bowl of snow-white soup, as well as the translucent half-moon radish slices and the same white cubes of tofu, he couldn't help but feel greedy, so he had to say thank you.

So while holding the soup bowl and feeling the warm temperature, he said to Song You: "To be honest, I am here to ask fellow Taoist for help."

"But that God of Bliss?"

"Exactly..."

Wen Pingzi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he spoke.

"It's strange to say that I shouldn't have stayed in Xushan for half a year. If I stayed in Xushan for half a year, I would be half a year late in coming to Yangdu. The God of Paradise has a good ability to hide. If we catch him by surprise , maybe not as powerful as the God of Pleasure, but in the past six months, after he was deposed, he quickly guessed his ending and made preparations. Based on Pindao's one or two encounters with him, I guess he will probably All the incense and wish power were used to cultivate the hidden magical power that he realized in Yangdu, and the magical power became more and more profound, so Pindao has been unable to do anything to him in the past year."

"That's it..."

Song You also fell into thinking after hearing this.

While thinking about it, I held a bowl and drank the fish soup. I felt the fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth, and it was extremely delicious.
