Chapter 102
Walking forward for a while, I saw a blacksmith's shop. It was an old white-haired blacksmith. He was naked to the upper body when forging, so thin that his ribs were all distinct, and he said he could repair horseshoes.

The old blacksmith checked the horse's hoof and said to him, "Your horse's hoof is almost worn out."

"Yes."

"Do you usually pull more cars or ride more?"

"Old man misunderstood, I don't want to change the horseshoe, just ask the old man to take off the horseshoe that was almost worn out."

"Can't you trust my skills?"

"Absolutely not!" Song You hurriedly cupped his hands, "It's just that there is no need for horseshoes..."

"No need? Use less horses?"

"almost."

"Hey..."

The old blacksmith uttered a series of incomprehensible particle words, as if he still felt that he could not trust his craftsmanship and was expressing his dissatisfaction.

Song You was also helpless.

Now the horseshoes on the red horse's feet were made on the way from Nanhua County to Yunding Mountain in Jingdao Lake, and it has been nearly a year and a half.On Yunding Mountain, I spent a year with Empress Sanhua in one night, but the bay red horse really stayed there for a whole year, and it turned out that its hooves didn't grow long, and it didn't need to be repaired until now.

This is undoubtedly very miraculous.

It is not as simple as not growing a horseshoe. It can stop growing and make it grow faster.

Song You knew that this bay red horse was already very extraordinary, and probably didn't need a horseshoe—at least as far as the horseshoe was worn out, it didn't need the help of a horseshoe.

It’s just that in addition to avoiding wear and tear, the horseshoe also has multiple functions such as protecting the horse’s hoof from cracking and anti-slip when carrying heavy loads. The horseshoes used by horses that pull carts and horses that carry people are different, so Song You didn’t put them away immediately. Remove the horseshoe.Along the way, I often walked on the dirt paths in the mountains, and the bay red horses were not heavy. It is only now that the horseshoes are almost worn.

Try it without a shoe first, and save a lot of money.

The old blacksmith's movements were very fluent, and he took off a horse's shoe in two or three strokes, and also helped to repair it by the way.

The horse's hooves were much harder than he had imagined, which made this supposedly pleasing process look a bit strenuous.

"It's really exhausting!"

"Old man, please God."

"Where did you buy your horse?"

"A gift from a friend."

"Aren't you afraid of running away if you don't tie the rope?"

"Don't be afraid..."

This is also an old question, and everyone who sees it has to ask it.

"Where did you come from?"

"Come to Yizhou."

"Where is Yizhou?"

"To the south from here is Pingzhou, and then go down to Xuzhou, and to the west of Xuzhou is Yizhou."

"That's far enough."

"walk slowly."

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go to Zhenshan to see."

At this point, Song You asked for the way, "I don't know how to get to Zhenshan from here?"

"Which real mountain? The one with many Taoist temples?"

"Exactly."

"Are you looking for the Taoist temple on the real mountain?"

"Yes."

"Which one are you going to rely on?"

"No, I just heard that the real mountain is also one of the famous Taoist mountains. There are many Taoist temples on it, and there are many real people who practice Taoism. They pass by here, so I want to visit and see if it is true or not."

"Then you don't want to go..."

"How to say?"

Song You showed some interest.

The old blacksmith put down a horseshoe, stood up and took a breath, seemed to be very tired, then straightened up and said to him: "There are many Taoist temples on the real mountain, and there are not many Taoist priests with real skills. In autumn, heavy rains washed away the mountain, and now it seems that it has not been repaired, and it is very difficult to walk on the mountain.”

Song You looked around the road.

This is also an official road. Although it is a village, there are also blacksmith shops and grass shops. They all point to this road for food, and the news should be well-informed.

At this time, I heard the old blacksmith say: "Our local people know that the really capable Taoist temple is not on the real mountain, but on the other side, called Fuyun Temple. Old man, when I was young, I also liked these. I have seen Fuyun Temple before. The old temple master has the ability to make clouds and rain, that is like a fairy."

"How to go to Fuyun Temple?"

"Where are you coming from?"

"Yes."

"Where are you going in the end?"

"Angzhou."

"Follow forward, forty miles, there is a fork in the road. If you go right, you will reach Zhenshan Mountain, and if you go left, you will reach Fuyun Temple. You don't need to go back on both roads, you can go straight ahead."

"Thank you..."

Song You hesitated a little.

On one side is a famous Taoist mountain, and on the other side is a small mountain view.Famous at the same time, famous locally at the same time.While it is well-known, some old people said that they have seen the fairy magic with their own eyes.

It doesn't seem too hard to choose.

After paying for the repair of the horseshoe and thanking the old blacksmith, Song You led the horse along the way.

On the way, I found a few people to ask for directions. At least from two people, I heard that although the real mountain is well-known, it is known as one of the four famous mountains of Taoism. Counting the floating clouds in the mountains and fields, the Taoist priests are like living gods, who are both highly capable and willing to help others.

From morning to afternoon, cross the fork and turn left.

In the middle of the afternoon, I stopped by the side of the road to rest.

I haven't seen the shadow of Fuyun Temple yet, but the weather is crisp and clear in autumn, and the sun is shining directly, so Song You can't help stretching.

There is a small hill next to it.

Song You looked around, then walked up the hillside.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned around, and sure enough, he saw the three-colored cat following him with small steps.Seeing him stop, the three-flowered cat still walked a few steps, then stopped and looked up at him, one person and one cat looked at each other suspiciously.

"Why don't you go?"

"Miss Sanhua, don't follow me."

"where are you going?"

"Just don't follow."

"what are you going to do?"

"Mistress Sanhua should go back and watch the horse."

"!"

As soon as he heard about the horse, Sanhua Mao turned around and saw the horse standing alone by the side of the road, very lonely, hesitated for a while, and then walked back.

Song You went up the small slope alone.

Looking back, the cat below was honestly staying beside the horse, not following up, but it stood up tall, stretched its neck and stared at him.

"..."

Song You had no choice but to go a little further, to a place where she couldn't see, otherwise she would definitely follow.

Flying down three thousand feet.

Just as the sound of the water stopped, a voice behind him was heard:
"Where is the cat demon?"

Song You walked up to the top of the slope again, and saw a middle-aged Taoist coming to the road below at some point, frowning and staring at Empress Sanhua.

The three-flowered cat was walking on the hillside, tiptoeing, intending to sneak a peek at what the Taoist priest was doing quietly, but suddenly another Taoist came, also a stranger, she neither wanted to fight him nor explained to him Without even thinking about it, he immediately speeded up and wanted to run up the hill.

"Don't go!"

Seeing her sneaking around, the Taoist felt guilty and wanted to run away without saying a word, so he would not let her go easily, so he waved his sleeves, and a soft wind blew out, stirring up dust and sand.

However, before the wind and sand hit the ground, they heard a voice:
"Wait a minute!"

Song You was neither fast nor slow, he blew out in one breath, and the wind and sand stopped.

Then he walked down the hill.

Sanhua Mao was not affected by anything, and continued to run towards him, but only half way, then stopped again, looking back at the middle-aged Taoist, with curiosity and vigilance in his eyes.

It seems that he doesn't know what this person is doing.

The middle-aged Taoist also turned his head to look at Song You, then at the cat, and narrowed his eyes, showing doubts.

Doubt and embarrassment.

Song You walked towards him and cupped his hands: "Why do fellow Taoists make things difficult for my cat?"

"Is this cat demon brought by a fellow daoist?"

"Exactly."

"So that's the case, that's a misunderstanding." The Taoist also bowed his hands to Song You, "I mean, the horse is parked by the side of the road, why is there no one there, only a little goblin, sneaky, sneaky, asking questions but not answering , I thought I was doing something sneaky and harmful..."

Song You thought about it, and then understood what was going on——

There is no cat in this world that can restrain its desire to watch people go to the toilet, even if people don't let them see, they still go secretly. There is a misunderstanding, and it is interesting to change the angle.

"During the Song Dynasty tour, a native of Yishan, Lingquan County, Yizhou, met the Taoist priest."

"Meow meow~"

"Taoist Beishan, I have met fellow daoist." Beishan Taoist glanced at the cat next to Song You again, "Why didn't you mark the little cat demon raised by fellow daoist? If something goes wrong, there will be a big misunderstanding!"

"She is my companion."

"..." Beishan Taoist narrowed his eyes again, "Dare to ask which Taoist temple you practice in?"

"Yinyang Mountain, Fulong Temple."

"No wonder..."

"How does the Daoist know?"

"Although the 'staying in the wind' is just a poor way to do it at will, there are probably not many Taoists in the world who can break it with one breath. In addition, Lingquan County, Yizhou, is not called poor. Dao, it is easy to think of the famous Fulong Temple." Beishan Taoist said, "This generation of heirs has come out again?"

"Dare to ask, but you are practicing in Fuyun Temple?"

"How do you know?"

"On the way here, I heard from an old man that there is a real expert in Fuyun Temple, who likes to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and solve problems for people. He has profound ways and methods, and his methods are like gods. I am here to visit."

"That's really destined."

"Fated."

"Please please..."

After walking a short distance, I realized that this place is actually very close to Fuyun Temple.

Fuyun Temple is an orthodox Taoist temple, unlike Fulong Temple, their willingness to subjugate demons may be higher.Monsters shouldn't easily come to the world, let alone run to the door of someone's house, and even cats and dogs look at it because they want to do something wrong. It's no wonder that the first thing they do when they meet is to question and not let them leave easily.

It's just that Empress Sanhua was frightened.

The two walked towards the Taoist temple, one cat and one horse.

Fuyun Temple was built on a small hill with green trees, just under the mountain gate, there was a long stone step leading directly to the gate of Taoist temple.The entire Taoist temple is also one level higher as it enters a courtyard. Looking up like this has a somewhat elegant feeling, like looking at a mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Song, please!"

"I don't know where you plan to go when you go out?"

"I planned to go to Pingzhou."

"Go to Pingzhou?"

"Yes."

"That's far away."

Song You was a little surprised.

I came from Pingzhou, walked slowly, walked for nearly two months, and this Taoist was so empty-handed, it seemed like he was just walking around, but he didn't expect to go to Pingzhou.

"Hahaha, our Taoist temple is different from Fulong Temple. From here to Pingzhou, the poor Taoist temples on the road are very clear. Even if they are not familiar with them, they should have heard of my name Fuyun Temple. Just rush to a Taoist temple to rest, and of course there is food and shelter." Beishan Taoist raised his head and laughed, and then said, "A few days ago, Pingdao heard that someone in Pingzhou met a god on Yunding Mountain. It's not the same as before, so I want to go and see if there are real immortals, or where are the monsters, pretending to be gods and playing ghosts, and delaying people for a year."

"..."

"Where do fellow Taoists come from?"

"From Pingzhou."

"There is a destiny."

Beishan Taoist came to the Taoist temple, waved his hand, and the mountain gate opened with a bang.

Song You stopped to take a look——

There is a plaque above the head, without writing.

On both sides is written the couplet:

The world in the pot is near the blue sky;
The haze in the cave is idle during the day.

Stepping into the threshold, the floor is paved with blue stones, the fallen leaves are not swept, the Taoist walks slowly, the breeze is elegant and quiet.

The old tree in the middle is the finishing touch, but its pavilion cover should have covered the entire outer courtyard, but now it has lost its vitality due to poor care, leaving only withered yellow branches against the sky, which is somewhat regrettable.
