I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Under the yellow plum tree, the ground is covered with gravel.

There was a golden guqin placed on the stone platform, and a beautiful woman in white stood beside it, followed by a maid, saluting at the same time as the Taoist in front.

"Thank you both."

The Taoist said with a salute.

"We are here to guard the ghost town for the Taoist Priest. The Taoist Priest gave us the Immortality Pill. It is a fair exchange. How can we thank you?"

"Thank you for the sound of the piano for three years, and thank you for taking care of Sanhua Empress."

"I just got up and played the harp, and I am willing to do it. It has nothing to do with the Taoist priest." The woman said to him, "The person who accompanied Sanhua Empress to play was just Wanjiang's maid, and it had nothing to do with me. I have an exchange with the Taoist priest. First of all, don’t dare to leave your post without permission.”

"..."

Song You shook his head and did not say anything more to her, but asked: "Now that the underworld has been completed and our agreement has been fulfilled, where will the two of you go?"

"It's too boring in here, no, we're no longer in the mountains now, but it's still so boring anyway, the sky is dark, and there are no stars and moon. We have stayed here for too long, and we just want to get out first." The woman's tone was soft and calm, her voice Also gentle.

"It's not just boring, it's full of yin and ghost energy. Although we are monsters, we are also creatures of the world." The maid added to Song You, "Taoist Priest, you don't even know how we have lived these years."

"I feel sorry for you two."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"Then let's go out and talk."

"brush……"

In an instant, it seemed as if a long distance had been crossed. Both the Taoist and the woman could sense the changes in the aura and rules of the world. Then, with a flash of light in front of their eyes, they had reached the outside world.

It was almost dusk.

There is a sunset in the distance, illuminating the clouds and mist in the sky golden, and the shadows of the earth in the mountains are even heavier. The golden sunlight passing through the cracks in the mountains and over the treetops seems to be visible in shape, strands, and some of the lakes on the ground are reflected. Some of the blue sky that has not yet darkened reflects golden clouds and light, and the grass is completely dyed golden.

"..."

The woman took a deep breath.

There is the smell of grass in the air, and there is also the aroma of fruit trees. The nearest one is pear, with a light and sweet aroma.

The sunset in autumn is still warm, and foxes are also creatures that love to bask in the sun. The heaven and earth have aura, the sun and moon have their essence, there is movement everywhere, and the mountains and rivers have aura. This is the world that belongs to living things.

The woman stood on the slope of the mountainside without any movement. She just faced the sunset. The evening breeze naturally lifted her clothes and hair, and the setting sun made the floating clothes shine through as if they were transparent. There was no word from her. , just took a deep breath, as if savoring the smell of the wind, but the depression of living in a ghost town for ten years was all lost in this speechless moment.

"How long are the Taoist priest's twenty years left?"

The woman faced the setting sun, tilted her head and asked the Taoist.

"Nearly three years to go."

"Has Dayan traveled all over the place?"

"Walked it all over again."

"Now that the underworld is complete, where will the Taoist priest go?"

"There's other things to do."

"..."

The woman seemed to know what he was talking about, so she only looked back and continued to look in the direction of the setting sun: "The Taoist Priest must hurry up."

"yes."

"Condensing the underworld, the Taoist priest has great merits and blessings, but it is difficult to do it alone." The woman was silent for a long time, "I still need to find some helpers."

“Just do your best.”

"..."

"..."

There was silence in the mountains for a while.

There was only the sound of girls playing with stones in their hands.

"The Taoist Priest still doesn't want to ask us for help." The woman smiled slightly, "That's fine. Even if the Taoist Priest asks for help, we won't have time to spare, which saves us the trouble of embarrassment and rejection."

"You have your own things to do." Song You said calmly and sincerely, "Besides, you are a demon clan and have found the way to great power, so you really don't need to take risks for human affairs."

"rational."

The woman nodded, agreeing with his words.

If this Taoist asked them for help ten years ago in Fengzhou Yeshan, and they took the time to leave the Yuezhou Fox Clan's practice and magic inheritance, even if it was a human matter, even if it was indeed dangerous, it would be hard for her to know that she would refuse. As he once said, he would risk his life to help, but now it is difficult to make any other choice.

Time really makes decisions for people.

Foxes may be infatuated, but they are also pragmatic and rational.

The sun was gradually sinking to the bottom of the mountain, and the clouds in the west were getting redder and redder. Yeshan was still bathed in sunlight due to its height, but the light gradually moved up, past the feet of the group, towards the top of the mountain.

Fog arose on the mountain lake and settled on the ground.

"When will I leave?"

"Leave now."

"Where will it go?"

"Do you still remember what we said on the river?" The woman turned to look at him, "Of course we should imitate the Taoist priest, 'wash away the dust of life, travel thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and be the master of the country's wind and moon.' Even though it was just a boat trip on the river back then. It was said casually during a casual conversation, but it was not a lie."

"The lies we have told for hundreds of years are actually fewer than most mortals in this world." The maid also smiled and said in a rare serious tone.

"I got my wish with just one step."

Song You also recalled that outside Changjing City and on the Yuqu River, the tented boat listened to the rain and the sound of the piano pushed the boat.

The wind and moon in the country are impermanent.

He who is idle is the master.

Nowadays, the fox has no blood feud among the clan, and no longer needs to work hard to seek immortality or seek the way to the ancient power. The guarding of the ghost town in Yeshan has been completed. The clan's practice and spells are passed down, but there is no need to be urgent in their long lives.

When you are free, the world will become better.

“Where does that river below lead to?”

Seeing that it was getting later and later, the woman looked down and saw another small river, like a jade belt, between thousands of mountains and lakes.

"I have no idea."

Song You answered truthfully.

There was no such river three years ago.

The Sanhua Empress next to her was stretching out her hands to catch the insects. When she heard the sound, she looked away from the insects, looked at them and followed their gazes, and said to these two people:

"It leads to the big river outside."

"This river came into being only after heavy rains last summer and the water rose. It was just a small stream at first, but it has become bigger this year." Yan An also said, "It is connected to the Yinjiang River."

"Connected to the Hidden River..."

The woman couldn't help but smile, and then said: "It is said that the Wanjiang River comes up from the river in the evening. Now it happens to be evening, and the Wanjiang River also comes up from the river."

"It's getting dark and it's hard to travel, so it would be better to have a lantern. I have a lantern that I have carried for many years. I gave it to you in the hope that it can light up the way forward for you."

There was a ringing sound not far away.

The horse walked sideways from another place on the mountainside, carrying a bag on its back, with a lantern stuck on the left and right sides of the quilt bag.

A simple and simple one with almost no style.

A mahogany pole, gilt and carved, and the lantern is in the shape of a pony, which is quite exquisite.

The Taoist took off the simple and simple one.

"This was the spring of the second year after we came down the mountain. Not long after we came down, a ghost friend who was quite close to us gave it to us in a ghost market deep in the mountain. It has no other magical properties, except that it is difficult to be eroded by ordinary wind and rain. , has been with us for many years, and is difficult to be damaged by ordinary water and fire, so it is suitable for travel. "

Song You handed it to the woman.

"This lantern has no place for candles." The woman reached out and took the wooden pole of the lantern.

"Just a little inspiration."

Song You stretched out his hand towards the sky, twisting the afterglow of the sunset into the lantern.

The lantern immediately lit up with red and yellow light.

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

"Send your feet to the river."

"good."

The group of people walked slowly down the hillside.

The sky and the earth are dim, the grass is as silky, and the woman is dressed in white. She is not as beautiful as a mortal, nor is she stained by the world. She only holds a lantern and walks among the green grass mountains.

All the way to the lake.

The water of the lake is clear, reflecting light and shadow.

The woman finally bowed to the Taoist and saluted.

"Farewell."

The maid also followed suit and bowed.

Sanhua Empress finally stopped jumping around and walked back to the Taoist priests, holding insects in her hands with a serious look on her face, looking at them, especially the maids. After a long time, the joy of seeing the lively Taoist priest again gradually sank, and was neutralized a lot.

"Miss Sanhua, it's time to say goodbye."

The maid smiled and said to Empress Sanhua.

"Can we meet again?" Sanhua Empress looked at the maid and asked seriously.

"Miss Sanhua is confused. I'm just a tail. I can't even decide where I'm going. How do I know this kind of thing?" the maid said with a smile.

"We will meet if we are destined!"

Empress Sanhua's voice was soft and firm.

"Did Sanhua Empress learn from the Taoist Priest?"

"Three years later, Empress Sanhua will return to the Taoist temple in Yinyang Mountain. In Lingquan County, Zhuo County, Yizhou, if you are passing by, you can come to see Empress Sanhua. You'd better come back in two years, and then the mountains will be They are all wild rabbits raised by Sanhua Niangniang. I did not learn this from the Taoist priest." Sanhua Niangniang said, paused, and then changed her words, "Ah no, you guys had better come early."

After saying that, he muttered softly: "It would be better to come earlier."

"must."

The maid bowed to the girl.

The girl also imitated her behavior and returned the gift, which was very awkward.

The maid took out a carved wooden box from somewhere on her body, held it in her hand, opened it, rummaged through it, found a thumb-sized boat, and threw it towards the river.

The boat grew into the wind and slowly fell into the water.

The water in the river was drained away and rippled.

He caught another toad and threw it on the boat. It transformed into a human being, like the coachman before, and now he is a boatman again.

"Is there still time to meet again?"

"Three years later, if you are interested, you can come to Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County, Yizhou to look for it. In the next generation, the gate of Fulongguan will always be open to old friends."

"There should be more good news from now on. Don't forget the idle man on the river."

The sky dimmed really fast. In just a short while, the sky darkened completely. Stars appeared above the head. There was also a yellow moon on the mountain side. There was a small boat on the river. The woman holding a lantern and the The maids stood together on the bow of the boat. The light was yellow and tinged with red. The light and their reflections were vaguely visible on the water. It was difficult to tell whether it was a lantern or a mountain moon.

The boatman rowed the boat gently, and the moon filled the boat and disappeared.

The Taoist stood on the shore with two little monsters, and a bay-red horse waited quietly behind him, watching them go away.

"Saying goodbye to an old friend again..."

A rather magnetic voice sounded next to him.

Song You turned around and took a look.

The King of Yue came to his side at some point, and as he looked downstream, the lights on the river were getting farther and farther away.

"Why is the Lord Shen also feeling emotional?"

"Do you think I have experienced this kind of thing less?" Yue Wang Shenjun said, "Fortunately, you are a human. If you were a god and gained immortality, it would be even more emotional."

"I see."

"Do you really want to fight Tiangong?"

"Sir, do you think I am not as courageous as Patriarch Fuyang?"

"Fuyang Taoist has great magical powers and unparalleled courage, but he also conforms to the general trend, and he is just a different emperor of heaven." Yue Wang Shenjun said to him, "There are many ancient gods in the sky. You must ensure that the heavenly palace is not free from unscrupulous people." God’s control, you want to change the way to heaven, but you have touched the bottom line of God.”

"Fulong Temple is a major concern of Tiangong. They themselves do not want Fulong Temple to continue to exist. Sooner or later there will be such a battle between the two sides. I want to be better at this than the next generation."

"Fellow Taoist, your spirit is truly unparalleled! No wonder even the real dragon is impressed by you!"

Like an old friend, King Yue Shenjun said to him: "No matter how good you are at fighting, there are so many gods in the Heavenly Palace, and there are many powerful ones who have survived from ancient times, or people who are equally good at fighting. There are still unique ones in the Heavenly Palace. How many of Yu Zhengzhan’s incense secrets can you defeat?”

"There are many virtuous gods in the Heavenly Palace, and there are also many virtuous gods. I am not the enemy of the entire Heavenly Palace."

"That's not that simple." The Lord Yue just closed his eyes and counted a few powerful people. "After all, you are a mortal with a mortal body. Even if the spiritual power of the four seasons has endless uses, after all, it has its limit. If the spiritual power I’ve exhausted all my energy, so what should I do?”

"Then there's no need to exhaust it."

"well……"

"Time is running out, I have to leave." Song You said goodbye to King Yue Shenjun, "Just do your own thing, Lord Shen, and see you again if we have the chance."

"See you soon."

As soon as the breeze blew by, the Divine Lord suddenly disappeared.

Song You looked at the lower reaches of the river again.

That light has disappeared too.

The Taoist lowered his head and looked at the girl beside him.

The girl also looked up and stared at him.

Just when the Taoist thought she might be very sad, she tilted her head and said attentively: "They have a box with a car and a boat inside. It's so comfortable!"

"..."

It seems that the Sanhua Empress has become accustomed to parting with her old friends after following him for many years.

The Taoist couldn't help but touched her head: "Our Taoist temple has similar ones, but they are all stored."

"Is it Meow?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you save it?"

"Because they are the relics of the ancestors, or they have traveled around the world with them for many years, or they were given to them by their old friends. They are as precious as Sanhua Empress's pony lantern."

The Taoist said as he walked out.

Mountains and moons also go with people.
