I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"Puff puff..."

The Taoist and the girl were walking slowly along the official road in the mountains, leaning on sticks. Suddenly, a swallow flew over and landed on the treetops.

"Sir, we met a group of officers and soldiers in front of us, and they seem to have something to do with you."

"Oh? Officials and soldiers? How does it have anything to do with me?"

"They seemed to be escorting something, and they were accompanied by officials. They stopped on the roadside to rest. After we walked over, the group of people saw them and asked the officials if they could go with them. The officials kindly agreed to their request, and then I I heard the official asking the people if they knew about Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County."

"That's it..."

The Taoist thought as he walked.

The official road winds around the mountain, like a snake, occasionally revealing the stone layer, which is quite easy to walk.

"Puff puff..."

The swallow glanced at Sanhua Empress, who was carrying Xiao Jianghan as a coolie, and felt that it was more comfortable to explore the way, so she flew back.

Sanhua Empress didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she talked to Xiao Jianghan as she walked, teaching her some cat talk. As she walked, she couldn't help but close her mouth and crane her neck to look ahead.

I don't know when the soil and mud layer on the road has become very thin, exposing the bluestone layer below. The trees on the roadside have also become very lush, blocking the warm sunshine in late spring, leaving a large area on the ground. Among the large shadows and mottled areas, what attracted her attention the most was the stone monument under the tree.

That's a boundary marker.

When Sanhua Empress saw this boundary monument for the first time, she wanted to do what she had seen every boundary monument since she learned to read, and ran up to check the handwriting and then ran back to tell the scholars, but she restrained herself.

There was a twinkle in his eye.

Some things seemed to have been forgotten, but now they appeared inexplicably in her mind, making her feel strange and familiar, thus creating a strange feeling.

Sanhua Empress turned her head to look at the Taoist priest, then took it back, holding a small bamboo stick but not leaning on it, and walked slowly over in step with the Taoist priest.

On one side of the stone tablet is written "Yizhou Boundary".

One side reads "Xuzhou Boundary".

This was the first state boundary monument Sanhua Empress had ever seen, and it was also the first time the Taoist taught her how to read.

Sanhua Empress stood here and stared at it for a long time.

The scene here at that time was like a surging tide, running into her mind. It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a few days ago.

"That stupid cat..."

Empress Sanhua couldn't help but shook her head.

I don’t even know that reading can make you stronger.

"Xiao Jianghan, please don't imitate her. When you return to Taoist Temple, Sanhua Empress will personally teach you how to read and write. You must learn to read and write early in order to become as powerful as Sanhua Empress... close to Sanhua Empress."

"Sanhua Empress~"

"Stupid... Well, what you said is very standard. It would be better if you said something else."

"Mouse~"

Empress Sanhua unconsciously waved the bamboo stick in her hand and walked forward. Although she looked back several times, she still slowly walked away.

There is an open space ahead on the right.

A large group of people rested here.

This group of people is divided into two distinct parts: one part occupies most of the territory, and in the middle are several carriages. I don’t know what is inside. There are more than a dozen soldiers and more guards around them, and there is also a man wearing an official robe. The group of people stood at the front, talking to the other group of people; the other group of people were the group of business travelers that Song You had met at Nianping Ancient Ferry.

Seeing Song You approaching, the group of business travelers immediately became excited.

"I'm coming……"

"It was this gentleman who was an old acquaintance with the tiger on the road ahead, and this saved us a way out!"

"We don't know the Yin Yang Mountain in Lingquan County that Mr. Cen mentioned, but this man is an expert in Taoism. You might as well ask him and try. Maybe he will know."

"..."

The official named Cen followed their gazes and looked at the Taoist who was walking on the mountain road.

Listening to this group of business travelers talking about their recent experiences, if they were more than ten years ago, it would have been enough to shock them into disbelief. But even today, when fairies and ghosts appear frequently, such experiences are enough to make anyone They felt miraculous and lucky, and it was evident in their expressions, but it didn't look like they were lying. It was inevitable that the officials would be very interested in the master of Taoism they mentioned.

When the Taoist approached, he stepped forward to greet him. He bowed first and asked, "I'm Cen Xing, a man named Yuan Guang. I've met Mr."

"My surname is Song. I am a Taoist from Yizhou. I am very polite."

"I just heard that my husband met the mountain tiger, and he is accompanied by the descendants of Anqing Yanxian. He must be a master with great supernatural powers and magic power. Cen has always admired such masters." The official is quite young and also Like most officials and scholars in Dayan, they like to make friends with Taoists and famous monks, "but I don't know where in the fairy mountain does Mr. practice?"

"It's not a fairy mountain, it's just a small mountain, a small gate, and a small Taoist temple."

Song You still didn't know where they came from, who they were, and why they were going to find his Taoist temple, so he didn't explain it immediately to avoid getting into trouble.

Then he continued to ask: "But I don't know where I came from and where I'm going?"

"We are coming from Changjing to Zhuo County, Yizhou." The official replied politely, "I just want to ask sir, I heard that there is Lingquan County in Zhuo County, Yizhou, and there is a Yinyang Mountain outside Lingquan County. There is a Taoist temple on Yinyang Mountain. But when we were in Changjing, we asked some people from Yizhou. Some people had never heard of this place. Some people had heard of it, but they had never heard of a Taoist temple on this mountain. Some people had heard of it. I have said that there is a Taoist temple on this mountain, and I heard that many people have looked for it, but they can't find it at all... I was ordered to go here, but I don't know if you have heard of this Taoist temple or whether it exists. If we want to go If so, how can we find it?"

As the official spoke, he looked at the Taoist, the girl beside him, and the baby girl behind the girl. However, he saw the girl looking up and staring straight at him, and the baby girl also waving her hands and staring at him.

The Taoist asked, "Why are you going down here?"

"..."

The official's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he felt as if he knew, but he hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

In the end, he just said: "Go and deliver something."

Unexpectedly, when the Taoist heard this, he smiled.

"It turns out to be the Mingde Ceremony."

"ah?"

The official was suddenly startled and looked at him with wide eyes: "How does the Taoist priest know? Is it true that he has great magical powers and can predict events like a god?"

The other people around were also surprised when they heard this.

"No, it's just that my surname is Song Mingyou. I happen to come from Fulong Temple in Yin Yang Mountain. I had a relationship with Cui Gong many years ago. I know that he is writing a grand ceremony and will send it to me." Song You said, then pointed at the Three Flower Empress and the He introduced, "This is my Tong'er, the Empress of Sanhua."

"Really...really Master Song?"

The young official named Cen was stunned.

"nature."

"Sanhua Empress?" The official pointed to the girl next to him carrying a baby girl on his back. He couldn't believe it. "Is this the Sanhua Empress who wrote "Diary of the Heavenly Lady"?"

"Have you ever seen it before?"

"I have read it before."

The so-called "Diary of the Heavenly Lady" is the diary written by Empress Sanhua when she returned from traveling overseas. After submitting it to Yangzhou Bookstore, the people at the bookstore named it the Diary of the Heavenly Lady.

I heard that this book is slowly becoming popular in Dayan today. This is because before this, although there were books about ghosts and ghosts in the world, there were very few good books about ghosts and ghosts, let alone such records from the perspective of personal experience. A detailed book about strange things, and in this book, the scenes of strange things overseas are dazzling. In recent years, people at sea and along the coast have begun to worship the Sea Dragon King, who is rarely encountered and dare not look at it. The White Rhinoceros God has narrations, and the narrative angle is also very strange, and it is based on a rarer diary, which made many people like it for a while.

In this book, whether it is the author's own unique perspective or the omnipotent unknown Taoist priest in the author's eyes, it can make different people yearn for it.

It’s just that Taoist people haven’t seen it yet.

The Taoist just smiled at this time, neither admitting nor denying, but asked: "Has Cui Gong's Mingde Ceremony been finished?"

"Thanks to the great support of the imperial court and the hard work of many bachelors and Cui Gong, it was completed in the first two years. On that day, there were visions in the world of Changjing. Later, another copy was copied, which is this one. Cui Gong specially told us It must be sent to Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Zhuo County, Yizhou after this year, otherwise it may be difficult to preserve this stunning masterpiece in troubled times."

"I see." The Taoist said, and then asked him, "I wonder how Mr. Cui is doing now?"

"Mr. Cui..."

When the young official said this, he couldn't help showing a look of regret: "Shortly after Cui Gong completed the book and copied it, he accused the imperial advisor of being dictatorial in the court, complained about the previous Yu Xiang, and even wrote poems and articles to criticize the country. Master, Your Majesty Yinshe, was found guilty and died in prison not long after."

"well……"

The Taoist couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"In this case, please leave the grand ceremony here. I will bring it back to the temple and keep it properly. If it is useful for future generations, leave it to future generations and you can leave."

"..."

The official hesitated for a moment, but decided not to doubt the identity of the Taoist. He quickly turned around and directed everyone to unload the boxes from the carriage one by one and put them in place.

Just from the number and weight of the boxes, we can see how huge this tome is and how much effort it took.

"I'm going to stay here for a while. Please help me transport these people out of this barren mountain. It's not far away." Song You said to them, "If we don't use carriages anymore, we don't have to go back the way we came." It’s much closer to Changjing via Jinyang Road.”

"Cen takes his leave."

The young official saluted respectfully and left with a group of suspicious-looking officers, soldiers, servants and business travelers.

After passing a mountain, I passed another mountain. I could no longer see the scenery behind me. Suddenly I heard the roar of the wind. When I looked back, I saw a huge crane fluttering its wings and soaring up. In the blink of an eye, it rose from the mountain. Flying out, reaching the clouds, heading towards Yidu.

"What a big crane..."

"It seems that Taoist is real!"

"How can Mr. Cen be sure that the Taoist is really from Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County and not a fake?"

Everyone looked at the young official.

The young official shook his head but did not answer.

Cui Gong had worked with him for several years, and he was both a teacher and a friend. Cui Gong read the "Diary of the Heavenly Lady" with him. After Cui Gong entrusted him with this matter, he also asked the Taoist priest several times. What's strange is that although Cui Gong never talked about the Taoist in the Taoist temple in detail, he occasionally mentioned it from the side, which left a mark in his heart.

After meeting and talking to this Taoist today, he knew that this Taoist was probably the one in Mr. Cui's heart.
