Walking up the Cuiyun Corridor again, the scene in front of me became familiar, but it was in the opposite direction from when I came here. Looking at it from another angle, it doesn't have a flavor. So Song You still walked slowly, paying attention to the roadside scenery from time to time.

The village temple gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Song You approached it slowly, but asked the Sanhua cat walking silently beside him: "Miss Sanhua, would you like to travel the world with me?"

"Travel the world?"

"It is to travel all over the world, to see the sunrise and sunset in different places, to meet different people and goblins, to eat delicious food in various places, to experience different customs and customs, and to see people thousands of miles away. What kind of life are you living?" Song You paused, "My master said, this is cultivation."

"Aren't you going to take me to see Wang Shangong?"

"If Empress Sanhua is willing, I will tell Wang Shangong." Song You paused for a while, then continued to walk at the original speed, and thought for a while, "Maybe Sanhua Empress will come with me for a while and wait for the incense burner on her body. Once the qi dissipates, you can find a mountain for yourself, be at ease again, and avoid the pain of imprisonment."

"Then can I go back to my little temple?"

"Do you still want to be arrested?"

"Well……"

Sanhuamao thought for a moment, then continued to ask: "How long will it take to go with you?"

"Anyway, it's shorter than the closing time."

"Do you want me to help you catch mice?"

"That's not necessary."

"Then what do you want me to do with you?"

"No need to do anything, just do one thing, try not to speak in front of ordinary people."

"Anything else?"

"there is none left."

"Then why do you want me to follow you?"

"Let me not be alone."

"I don't know what loneliness is."

"A person is alone."

"Empress Sanhua has always been lonely. It's good to be alone."

"It's nice not to be alone."

"I have no idea."

"so……"

"I'll go with you."

"good."

Song You walked into the village temple.

But the three-flowered cat stopped at the door, looked around vigilantly, and then looked up at the tall and colorfully painted statues in the temple. Compared with his little clay cat, he felt that his little clay cat was so unbearable. Can't help feeling embarrassed. It can be seen that Song You went in, it hesitated a little, but still crossed the threshold.

It was noon now, and there was no one staying overnight in the temple, so Song You turned around and closed the temple gate.

Looking around, there is incense on the altar.

Most of them were left by people from the rivers and lakes.

These rivers and lakes people know that the masters in the temple need incense, and they are relying on these masters to stay here to hide from the rain. Therefore, in addition to lighting a few sticks of incense, they often leave some incense on the altar, so that future guests will come. Here, if there is no incense, you can also use it to offer a few sticks to the gentlemen.

Grass fragrance is worthless, what is valuable is people's admiration.

"Thank you."

Song You took three and did not forget to say thank you.

Hold the incense with both hands, shake it and draw a circle, only draw a circle, the incense will burn automatically, and the green smoke will curl up.

The three-flowered cat on the ground stared wide-eyed.

"Please come out and see Mr. Wang Shan."

Song You put the incense on the clay cube and said respectfully.

The green smoke rose and did not disperse, and accumulated in the air in strands and strands. Among the green smoke, Wang Shangong, dressed in colorful clothes and full of divine light, appeared. When he saw Song You, he bowed respectfully.

"Sir, you are polite."

"Be kind and courteous."

"Sir, can you check it out?"

"The investigation is finished."

"But the monster is resurrected?"

"That's not the case." Song You said to him, "It's just that a cat has become a spirit, ignorant and greedy for incense in the world. It happened that someone offered incense to it and asked to catch rats, so it took over the temple without knowing the seriousness, and smoked incense to make offerings to it. .and now I have brought it."

"Immortal temples and evil sacrifices are not tolerated by the law of heaven." Wang Shangong said in a deep voice, "Thank you sir for bringing it, I will take it down and punish it according to the laws of heaven."

Sanhuamao shrank to Song You's feet in fright.

"How is Tian Tiao punished?"

"If it hasn't harmed anyone, it hasn't sucked human spirit and blood, and it lasts for a hundred years, or only for a hundred years. If it does good deeds, it will be halved as appropriate."

Song You looked down at the cat and conveyed the meaning of "Look, I didn't lie to you" with his eyes, and then said to Wang Shangong: "But I heard that absorbing incense and practicing is a strange instinct, and I have heard that ignorant The truth of innocence, I think this cat demon is also a first-time offender, he is ignorant, and the incense he smokes is pitiful, and in my opinion, it has never harmed anyone, but has worked hard to help the people get rid of rats and protect food, and has done nothing wrong. You don't have a bad heart, it would be really unfair to be trapped for a hundred years because of this."

"I don't know what Mr. means..."

"It's better for me to take it with me and teach it well."

"this……"

"The good man has a kind heart, please be lenient."

"But it's God's rule..."

"The law is nothing more than human feelings, and there are many injustices in the laws of heaven."

"Sir, be careful."

"Please be kind."

"I'm also in trouble..."

"It's not to let Shangong not report to the higher authorities, nor is it to let Shangong lie and say that the cat demon who occupied the temple has been eliminated. Shangong only needs to report truthfully that the cat demon who occupied the temple was led by a Taoist priest. Just go." Song You paused, and bowed his hands to Wang Shangong again, "My name is Song You, and my name is Menglai. I learned from Duoxing Taoist in Fulong Temple on Yinyang Mountain, and Shan Gong wrote it down."

"Yinyang Mountain Fulong Temple..."

Wang Shangong's eyes widened for a moment.

This place is only more than a hundred miles away from Yinyang Mountain, and although there are few people in Fulong Temple of Yinyang Mountain, it is famous, so he has heard of it.

After thinking for a long time, he could only sigh, bowed his hands to Song You, and disappeared in the green smoke again.

"Well?"

Sanhuamao recovered from the surprise, looked left and right, seemed to be looking for Wang Shangong who had disappeared, but naturally did not find it, and then looked at Song You again:

"Is he gone?"

"gone."

"Are you ready?"

"alright."

"Then let's get out of here."

Sanhuamao turned around and ran out, and stopped at the door after crossing the threshold, turning around to look at Song You who hadn't left yet.

Song You looked at it puzzled.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't feel comfortable here."

"Are you inferior?"

"What is inferiority complex?"

"It's just...forget it, let's go."

Song You also got up and walked out of the temple gate.

The three-flowered cat followed behind with small steps, then raised its head and asked:

"What is probation?"

"It is to influence you and bring about good changes in you."

"How?"

"Slowly affect."

"How did it change?"

"If you talk too much, you will be very thirsty on the road."

"How did it change?"

"Slowly change."

"where are we going?"

"Go back to your small temple first, destroy your statue, and cut off its connection with you."

"And then where?"

"Yidu."

"What are you going to do in Yidu?"

"Mistress Sanhua is curious..."

"What are you going to do in Yidu?"

"I have not decided yet."

"Then think about it quickly."

"I try my best."

As soon as he was freed from the lonely journey, he immediately welcomed a problem baby, which Song You did not expect.

"Then please take care of Mistress Sanhua."

Inexplicably, the mood is different.

...

One person and one cat went back to the ruined temple.

It was already mid-afternoon when we arrived, and it took another day to go and come. But this has always been the case in this era, everything is very slow, and a day will be wasted between dozens of miles of mountain roads.

Someone came to offer incense again.

It is still homemade incense, the ingredients are different from those in his own Taoist temple, the taste is fresh, and it seems to have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, Song You quite likes it.

There is an extra loach on the altar.

Mistress Sanhua quickly jumped up to the altar, took a sip of the three sticks of incense, and then forced herself to stop, looked at the little loach on the altar, showing reluctance, then turned to look at Song You at the door: "Taoist, That person gave me incense yesterday, and I haven’t gone to help him catch mice yet, and this person today, can I go to their house to catch mice tonight?”

Song You looked at it for a long time, then nodded.

"Can I eat the loach?"

"Eat what you want, it's the last meal anyway. Remember, you can no longer accept other people's tributes, and you can't absorb incense anymore." Song You looked at the three-colored cat in front of him. Because of the incense, it already had Some supernatural powers of Shinto, for example, it can know who offered each stick of incense and who gave each tribute, and can use this to find them. Inseparable, when there is no incense, you will weaken or even die, and you will be regarded as an evil god by Tiangong Zhengshen."

"I know, I know."

The sanhua cat lay down on the altar, sickly, it was reluctant to part with its own temple, its own statue and its own incense, all of which were managed by its hard work of catching mice every day for several years .

At this time, I especially miss the small temple at that time.

Although the small temple is small, only half the height of the Taoist priest in front of him, it is more than enough for a cat. Although it cannot block the wind, it can block the rain, and it is not easy to be found under a big tree. Now that I think about it, it is simply a warm nest.

Sanhuamao is even more spiritless.

When it gets dark, it goes out.

Later, some people from the Jianghu came to stay overnight, and they brought red incense sold in the city. Even though there was only one clay cat statue in the temple, they ordered three respectfully, and said some scene words that people from the Jianghu love to say. After greeting Song You, he stayed on the other side of the ruined temple.

Song You meditated all night to feel the aura of the mountains.

The galaxy turns in the sky, and the curtain hangs in the world.

I don't know when the three-colored cat will come back. In short, when I opened my eyes and saw it the next morning, it was a little tired. I asked it why, and said that one of the two families was on the far side and the other was on the far side. I don't know where. which side.

"Let's go after eating."

Song You told Sanhuamao that he was eating steamed cakes in his hand. Sanhuamao ate a lot of mice last night and is still full.

The people in the rivers and lakes nearby also woke up.

Among them was a well-dressed young man with a follower. Maybe he saw Song You was wearing a Taoist robe, and he looked young. He wanted to make friends, so he came over with the air-dried meat he brought and said to Song You:

"Mister is also someone who loves raccoon slaves?"

"It is."

"I'm also someone who loves raccoon slaves, but like Mr., it's rare to take raccoon slaves with you when you travel far."

"yes."

"Sir, you can't just eat steamed cakes. I have air-dried pork from my hometown. You should try it, sir."

"I got it."

"Sir, you don't need to be polite. We are both from the Jianghu. When we meet, we are destined to meet each other. Let's treat it as if we have known each other for a long time."

"Thank you."

Song You still smiled and shook his head.

This man was rejected, but he was not ashamed like other face-conscious Jianghu people, but turned around with a smile, shared with other Jianghu people who met last night, praised each other with a few good words, and then began to call each other brothers and talk happily , as if we have known each other for a long time.

These Jianghu people have a lot of knowledge, and they have heard a lot of gossip in various aspects. Even if there are many exaggerations, Song You likes to hear their bragging and chatting.

Not long after, the steamed cakes were also eaten.

"Let's go."

After Song You said something, he got up and walked out.

Sanhuamao consciously followed behind him.

The group of Jianghu people stared at them, and only started talking in a low voice after they left.

"This little gentleman is really interesting. He also brought a cat with him when he was traveling. This cat is also interesting. He will follow people around. My cat can't even touch it."

"Speaking of which, it seems that the offering in this temple is also a cat."

"yes……"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the statue on the altar.

Just at this time, I saw that the clay statue could not help looking at it, and several cracks appeared immediately, and the cracks expanded rapidly, becoming more and more bigger, covering the entire statue in the blink of an eye, and then shattered into countless pieces with a crash. .

When it landed, it had become mud powder.

...
