I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"It's time for Sanhua Empress."

Suddenly, a cat jumped onto the mirror.

The stone was smooth and hard, and she almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, Sanhua Empress was very capable and quickly stabilized her figure. She looked down at the mirror. Her cat's shadow was reflected in the mirror, and the cat also looked down at him.

As soon as the cat turned its head, three sticks of incense floated over.

"call……"

The incense stick ignited automatically and smoke rose.

Then he inserted it into the incense burner himself.

The Taoist watched from the side and couldn't help but admire: "Sanhua Empress's ability to retrieve objects from the air has become more and more exquisite."

"..."

But Mao'er just turned her head and glanced at him, with no time to pay attention to him. She quickly withdrew her gaze, stared at the mirror, and asked like a Taoist: "Mirror, mirror, if you know the past and the future, what do you think about Empress Sanhua?" How long does it take to become as powerful as a Taoist priest?"

"..."

Mao'er looked calm and stood there, waiting for a moment without feeling anything. He even looked up at the Taoist priest in confusion, then turned around and found that the incense stick had been extinguished and the smoke had broken.

"..."

Cat couldn't help but be startled.

what happened?

Then he turned around, faced the incense burner, blew on it, and lit it again. This time he asked, while staring at the incense burner: "Mirror, mirror, do you know the past and the future? How long do you think it will take for the Three Flower Empress to become a beautiful lady?" Is he as powerful as a Taoist priest?"

"..."

The incense stick is extinguished and the green smoke is cut off.

This time I could see it clearly.

"?"

Mao'er couldn't help but was stunned again, confused for a moment, and looked at the incense burner, the mirror, and the Taoist.

The perseverance she usually showed when facing Taoists still came into play at this time. She took another breath, lit the incense, and continued to stare at the mirror and asked:

"Huh? How long will it take?"

"..."

The incense stick went out again.

"?"

Mao'er couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest in confusion.

This mirror doesn't seem smart.

"..."

The Taoist was silent for a moment, and just when she turned her head and was about to light the incense again, he spoke: "Maybe Sanhua Empress asked too general questions, and it is difficult to answer on the mirror."

"Too dragon bucket?"

"Although the mirror is powerful, from the fact that it can detect our arrival, we know that its style is not inferior to the karma mirror in the ghost city of the underworld, but it is a dead thing after all. The question of Sanhua Empress is general and complicated, and I am afraid the mirror cannot answer it. Song You pursed his lips, "For example, Sanhua Empress said she is as powerful as me, so where exactly is she as powerful as me? In many places, you and I must know that Sanhua Empress is more powerful than me. Not only is she already better than me, but she has already been, or even was born to be, better than me, and in some areas, Sanhua Empress is not as good as me for the time being. If you ask such a general question, how does the mirror know what you are talking about, and how should you answer it? ?”

"right……"

Mao'er thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Miss Sanhua, I think what you said makes sense."

Then he shook his head and blew the incense to light it.

"Mirror, Mirror, how long will it take for Sanhua Empress to be as good as a Taoist priest?"

"Ahem!"

The Taoist coughed twice and asked her: "Miss Sanhua, why don't you ask yourself how long it will take for you to be called a great demon?"

"Meow?"

Mao'er turned around, stared at him and said, "You suddenly spoke, and Empress Sanhua thought it was the mirror talking."

"Try it."

"..."

"Oh well."

Cat accepted his suggestion, and before the incense was extinguished, he finally asked:

"Mirror, Mirror, tell me again, how long will it take for Sanhua Empress to be called a great demon? By then, Sanhua Empress will have grown taller, meow? What will she look like?"

"call……"

The wind comes in and the incense burns out.

Song You was a little surprised——

He originally thought that this question was complex enough and too clear-cut for the mirror to be able to answer. But now it seems that the mirror's ability is higher than he thought.

Not surprising when you think about it.

The country that occupied Yunzhou at that time was not a small one. In addition to Yunzhou, it also had parts of the land of several other states near Yunzhou, including Yizhou, and even included some territories outside of Dayan today. At that time, the whole country believed in Buddhism. The faith it brings cannot be underestimated. If the Three Pagodas Temple really gathers eminent monks from all over the country, unites the will of the whole country, and cultivates its aura from generation to generation, there may be amazing changes.

The wonders of heaven and earth are often born from ordinary soil and created by chance. It is also possible that the mirror stand was born from generations of eminent monks and is higher than the eminent monks of generations.

The cat just stood there waiting, still confused, looking left and right, becoming more and more confused.

"..."

Just when she felt that the mirror was crooked again, she took out three more incense sticks and prepared to continue questioning with perseverance, when she heard the Taoist's voice again:

"Don't waste the incense, Sanhua Empress. The mirror already has the answer, but since we don't have the answer now, we may have to wait until we go back to find out in our dreams."

"how do you know?"

"What Master Wuwei just said."

"Yes..."

"You're not smart."

"!"

Mao'er turned her head and stared at him. After a moment, she jumped off the stage and landed lightly.

"Let's go."

The Taoist turned around and walked out.

The cat followed in small steps.

"The fasting meal has been prepared. Please move to Wuguan Hall. After finishing the fasting meal, you can rest in this temple for a day, so that this temple can entertain you well." Master Wuwei said calmly, as if he didn't hear it at all. What did they just say inside.

"Thank you Master for your kindness. It's just that we just started from Xianning in the morning. We haven't walked very far here, so we don't have to stop and rest." Song You paused, "We still have to continue around the lake, and go around the lake. I'll probably pass by here again in the future, and if it's convenient then, I'll come to your temple to stay overnight."

"The room is reserved for the Taoist Priest."

"Grateful."

Song You went with him and enjoyed the vegetarian meal.

The Three Pagoda Temple is naturally far richer than the Jingzhao Temple on Cangshan Mountain. Although the vegetarian meal is vegetarian, it is still rich. You can even eat mushrooms in this late autumn. I wonder what the emperor of this land was doing hundreds of years ago. Did this monk eat such a vegetarian meal, but Song You really had never eaten anything better.

It was afternoon after dinner and the sun was shining brightly.

Song You said goodbye to all the mages and set off with his horse.

Along the lakeside to the west, there is a small town where the freshly baked brown sugar cakes are quite famous. One is so big that one or two can be enough to fill up the stomach. When the Taoist passed by, he also bought a few and took them with him as dry food.

There are more than two hundred miles around the lake, and most of them are flat roads. Occasionally, you climb a hill and you can overlook the lake and the fishing villages on the lakeside. There are also several small towns around the lake, each with its own characteristics.

Empress Sanhua couldn't bear to worry about her question. She thought about it all the time, often looking back to look for the Three Pagodas Temple, for fear that she was too far away and the mirror could not tell her the answer.

She was quite curious about this.

Maybe it’s really too far away——

That night they stayed at the other end of the lake. Since the lake was long, this was probably the farthest place on the entire lake from the Three Pagodas Temple. It was so far away that the three towering towers could no longer be seen. Sanhua Empress was full of expectations. He went to sleep and woke up one night, but he dreamed of nothing.

There were many questions thrown at Song You in the morning.

Then I felt puzzled and doubtful. I thought the mirror table was broken. I wondered if I would spend the night there. I thought if I was a cat, different from humans, or a monster, so the mirror table didn't want to or didn't. way to answer your own question.

It’s a mess and a lot of ideas.

Fortunately, Sanhua Empress is still young after all. After having breakfast and continuing her journey, these confusions and doubts were gradually forgotten.

Until dusk the next day.

At this time, they had reached the opposite side of the lake. The straight-line distance from the Three Pagodas Temple was actually only about twenty miles. They could clearly see the three tall towers, one large, two small, and three on the other side of the lake.

The Taoist climbed up a hill and sat down to rest.

Looking into the distance, my eyes are filled with wonder.

This is the east side of the lake. The sunset sets behind the Cangshan Mountain directly opposite. The water vapor around the lake is heavy, and clouds tend to form in the evening. Every evening, the setting sun always illuminates it pink, and the difference when viewed from this angle is The blue sky, colorful clouds, mountains and towers are all reflected in the lake,

There is another small island in the lake below. The island is only as big as a house and a temple. There is also a temple built on the island, with white walls and blue tiles, all reflected in the blue water.

Flocks of seabirds flew by, attracting the attention of calico cats.

"Where will we sleep tonight?"

After the seabirds flew away, the calico cat finally retracted its gaze, stretched its neck, and scanned the villages below, following the Taoist's habit of searching: "There seem to be some villages and temples over there."

"I haven't slept in the open for a long time. Let's sleep here tonight so as not to trouble others." Song You said, "It just so happens that the scenery here is good."

"But it's cold now!"

"It's cold out front too."

"Oh well……"

The calico cat shook his head, so he had to prepare more firewood for him to burn the fire all night.

Then the group of people divided the work and cooperated——

The Taoist took out the felt blanket from his luggage and laid it out in a flat place sheltered from the wind. The calico cat and the swallow turned into human shapes and carried the pot and water bag to the lake to fetch water. At that time, she called it a water-fetching sword, and then they went to the mountains to chop firewood together, using Yanzi's beheading sword. At this time, Sanhua Empress called it a wood-cutting sword.

After three months of practice, not only did Sanhua Empress's two magic skills of turning stones into weapons and turning stones into gold have made rapid progress, but with tacit cooperation, Yanzi had also completely tamed the decapitating sword.

Now the Beheading Sword has become more obedient.

In the past, to use it to chop wood, you had to hold it with your hands. It was like an ordinary sword, but it was extremely sharp. No matter how thick or hard the trunk was, it would break instantly. Now you only need to release it and direct it, and it can rotate on its own. You can chop down firewood while flying and just pick it up.

Even the ability of the two little monsters to retrieve objects from the air is progressing rapidly as you chase each other. Sometimes they are in a deserted place and collect firewood without using their hands. The entire process of collecting firewood is also a scene of secret competition.

The Taoist also dug a pit for the stove.

Only the horses graze leisurely.

By the time the bonfire was lit, the sky had darkened a lot, and the distant mountain shadows and glow were still reflected in the lake. The wind had obviously gotten stronger, but the lake surface seemed smoother and smoother than a mirror, and the three tall towers on the other side could be vaguely seen. On the opposite bank and in the lake, they defend and echo each other.

The Taoist sat cross-legged on the ground, warming himself over the fire and cooking food. He watched the glow on the horizon and in the lake become more and more dreamy, gradually dimming, and the stars came out. He also explained the practice of magic to the two little monsters.

The flames crackled, and the sky and earth were empty and quiet.

It wasn't until late at night that the Taoist lay down, facing the fire, wrapped in a blanket, feeling the warmth and fell asleep.

"Crack..."

The fire occasionally exploded with sparks.

The Taoist's face was illuminated by the flames.

There were a lot of firewood piled next to it, all of which were very large.

The cat also lay on the wool felt and fell asleep at the Taoist's feet. From time to time she opened her eyes, glanced at the fire, and then turned to look at the Taoist. When the fire became obviously dim, she stretched out her paws and picked out a piece of cake in the air. He took a piece of firewood and put it carefully and meticulously into the fire.

Making fire is art and life.

Drowsily, half asleep and half awake, I don’t know how many times I fell asleep, and I don’t know how many times I woke up.

This is normal.

Cats are always like this.

Sanhua Empress is used to it.

Until after the fifth watch, the coldness became stronger, and the sky still showed no sign of getting brighter. On the contrary, the stars above the head became brighter and clearer, densely packed, hanging in the sky, and reflected in the lake. Empress Sanhua practiced the Yin and Yang spiritual method. Fellow practitioners of Yin and Yang can detect from the changes in the spiritual power of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth that dawn may not be far away.

This is the darkest and coldest time.

Empress Sanhua put the last few thicker logs into the fire and estimated based on experience that it would burn until dawn. Then she moved her body, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and fell asleep peacefully.

It seemed like I had a dream.

The dream is too vague, not only the content of the dream is too vague, but also the dream itself is so vague that it is difficult to tell whether it is a dream or not, whether it is a dream or something that was done before going to bed. An image that came to mind in my random thoughts.

There seems to be a person who is tall and tall.

Wearing strange clothes and wearing something on his head, he kept his hands somewhere and kept walking.

The surrounding houses are very high.

It seemed like it was only a moment, but it also seemed like it had been gone for a long time.

Nothing is clear.

"..."

Sanhua Empress woke up as usual, feeling dazed. She only knew something, but seemed not to know. Something was leaving her mind quickly. It was a memory that did not belong to the day and sobriety. She did not pay attention immediately. When it catches it, it goes very far, and almost nothing is left. I only remember that something left, but what it left, roughly what it was, I don’t know.

It was already dawn at this time.

Big bright.

The fire next to it left only blackened charcoal ash, a few scarlet sticks in the middle, and a small fire that refused to die.

The Taoist had already gotten up and sat on the big stone in front, feeling the aura of the mountains and rivers and absorbing the essence of the world. The lake in front of the Taoist was as quiet as a mirror, with a light mist lingering on the lake, like a fairyland, and the Cangshan Mountain opposite was also covered with mountain mist. On top of my shirt, between the accumulation of mountain mist, there are three tall towers standing, and the tower body emerges from the morning mist.

These scenery are also reflected in the lake water.

The cat looked stunned for a moment, then raised his head——

There are clouds in the sky. For some reason, they emit colorful lights in the morning light, which seems ordinary and unusual at the same time.
