I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 172 The Rainbow After the Rain
"In Changjing City..."

"What's the problem?"

"If it was half a year ago, even if the yang energy in the capital was strong, it wouldn't be troublesome to go down to the city. It's just that I heard recently that the city god in Changjing City has been insane, and he patrols all day long to catch monsters and ghosts. The skill of whereabouts, but Lord Chenghuang is also the best at finding demons and ghosts in the city." The scholar ghost was a little embarrassed, "Besides, I have stolen things in the city before, so I'm afraid I don't dare to go."

"My surname is Song Mingyou." The Taoist said again, "If you are stopped by the military officer of the City God Temple, just report your name and you will be able to escape."

"..."

The scholar ghost was startled again, then panicked and saluted again:

"Understood!"

"Thank you so much, sir."

"Don't dare."

"Please take care of your feet, be careful in everything, and in case of crisis, save your life first."

"I bid farewell..."

The Taoist saluted him, and he also saluted the Taoist.

Immediately afterwards, the scholar ghost turned into a wisp of green smoke, got out from the hole in the window, and disappeared into the night.

The Taoist also looked out the window.

It was still dark outside.

But it was almost daylight.

The Taoist patted the head of the cat beside him, no longer sat cross-legged, but lay down on his back, with some thoughts in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

The Sanhua cat also lay down again, curled up into a ball, covered its head with its hands, and continued to sleep with its eyes closed.

The oil lamps in the house went out.

"Whoa whoa……"

When the cock crows, the sky is also bright.

The three-flowered cat raised its head first, and dark blue was already seen outside the window.As the cock crowed several times, the cat rubbed its eyes, couldn't hold back its curiosity, jumped on the window, and just stared outside.

The sky is getting brighter, but also groggy.

Because it was raining outside.

Xu Shi came back late last night, and practiced until midnight, and didn't have enough rest, so the Taoist slept until dawn.

"When is it?"

"Well?"

"What time is it? Mistress Sanhua."

"It's daytime~"

"..."

The Taoist shook his head, forget it.

He sat up on the bed, wiped his face, and straightened his clothes, then the Taoist got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes and went out.

Outside is the sound of rain, pattering.

When I opened the door, it was raining heavily.

The footsteps can only stop at the door, at most one more step forward, one more step will leave the range of the thatched roof, the ground has already been drenched, and the water is still splashing over, the soil at the door has turned into wet mud.

The Taoist looked up at the sky, thinking that the rain probably wouldn't last long.

This place is a few feet away from the main room.

The Taoist hesitated for a while, turned back to carry the parcel on his back, picked up the long box with one hand, and the dazed cat with the other, closed the door, stepped on the stone slabs in the courtyard, walked through the courtyard in a few steps, and arrived at the main room.

There was only one person eating.

It is Wu Xia.

Wu Xia held the bowl, looked back at him, and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Someone is up, please get another bowl of porridge."

"okay!"

Song You nodded with her and sat down at the same table.

The owner arrived quickly with a bowl.

A bowl of porridge with wild vegetables, a boiled egg, and a spoonful of pickles on top of the porridge is the breakfast provided by Maodian.

"Eat slowly, if you don't have enough porridge and pickles, you can add more, just call me."

"Thank you."

The Taoist thanked softly, then took the eggs, cracked them on the table, and peeled them slowly.

"Gollum..."

There was a sound of rolling on the table.

Looking up, another egg rolled over.

The Taoist couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the woman.

The woman raised her chin at the three-flowered cat.

"Thank you."

The Taoist thanked him again.

The woman didn't speak, she clasped the bottom of the bowl with one hand, and planed the rice with chopsticks in the other. She stared at the rain outside the house. When the shopkeeper walked away, she asked:

"What happened in your room last night?"

"A little ghost came to visit and wanted to steal Master Dou's paintings, but I found out." The Taoist peeled the egg and replied, "I talked to him nicely and asked him to help me, and then let him go."

"Um……"

Wu Xia didn't ask much, and continued to look outside: "This rain is so annoying."

After the Taoist peeled the eggs, he took out a small bowl of blue and white exquisite porcelain from the package, broke the eggs into small pieces, put them in the bowl, and handed them to Empress Sanhua. Then he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat, and replied in a low voice:
"The rain in summer is like this."

"Daozhang, when do you say it will stop?"

"It will stop before noon."

"You also said that you can't tell fortunes..."

"Just experience."

"If you stop at noon..."

Wu Xia thought for a moment, "That's okay. Let's stay here until noon, or if the sun is out, we can wait until the road is dry in the afternoon. Anyway, it's not far from the city, so even if If you walk in the afternoon, you can return to Changjing before dark. Anyway, there will be no more guests today."

"Yes."

The Taoist eats with peace of mind.

The woman didn't speak any more, she shoveled vigorously, and after finishing a bowl, she asked the shopkeeper to add another bowl.

Rest here after eating.

The shopkeeper didn't chase them away either.

As Nv Xia Wu said, no one will come here until the night when the ghost market opens, and the next ghost market will open two days later, so there will be no business here today.

In the morning, the woman who had been watching all night went to rest, while the siblings woke up and ate at the door with bowls in their hands, looking at the rain outside with distracted eyes, not knowing how much farm work they had to do today.

The siblings are young, but they are quite extroverted, and occasionally talk to Wu Xia.

Near noon, the rain really stopped.

There is no regularity in the sunshine and rain in summer, and today is just like the day before yesterday. It cleared up immediately after the rain.

The sun shone brightly.

Everything in the world is clean except the ground.

The two children in Maodian seemed to be excited. They walked outside with bare feet in the mud, ran back and forth, and climbed to high places such as firewood piles and branches from time to time to look around.

The Taoist and the woman just came out of the courtyard, ready to go back to the city.

Seeing their appearance, Wu Xia who was sitting on horseback couldn't help asking:
"Children! What are you looking for?"

The siblings were startled at first, but when they turned around and saw that it was the heroine who told them the story last night, they were not afraid anymore, and only replied:

"Find the rainbow."

"Rainbow? How can there be a rainbow?"

"We are still looking for it, and there will be one after it rains."

"Have you found it?"

"I can't find it."

The woman sitting on the horse also straightened her back and stretched her neck to look around.

But got nothing.

However, it may be that the southwest horse is too short. Even if she is tall, sitting on horseback does not give much bonus. Her sight is blocked by the surrounding huts, so she cannot see far away.

When she looked back, it was the dark pupils of the siblings.

"Have you found it? Hero!"

"I didn't find it."

"Not today?"

"It's not like there is a rainbow every time it rains in summer. Sometimes there isn't." Wu Xia paused after speaking, and looked at their expressions, "It may be that I didn't see it, you can look for it again."

"Oh……"

"However, there is a Taoist priest next to me who is very capable. I don't know if he can tell fortunes. Maybe you can ask him."

"what?"

When the siblings heard the words, they immediately looked at the Taoist.

"Master Dao! Can you tell fortunes?"

"Let the two of you down."

The Taoist shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I don't know fortune-telling, and I don't know where there will be a rainbow."

"Oh……"

The siblings immediately showed disappointment again.

The Taoist looked at them, thought for a while, and said, "But I know a way to find the rainbow."

"any solution?"

"Bring a bowl of water, please."

"..."

The siblings looked at each other, and then at the Taoist.

Immediately, my sister ran away and ran into the house immediately.

Not long after, a bowl of water was brought back.

"Is this ok?"

"can."

The Taoist stood next to the horse, took the water casually, walked to a place where the sun was shining directly, found the direction and angle, and under the gaze of everyone, bowed his head to drink the water, and squirted casually.

"puff……"

Fine mist sprayed out.

Immediately, there was a colorful light in the sun.

"!"

The siblings were surprised for a while.

Seeing the water mist visible to the naked eye falling down one after another, the rainbow bends and hangs in the air with a short section, both of them feel miraculous.

"Is this a spell?"

"No."

"Is that a trick?"

"It can be called a trick, but it's not."

While talking, as the water mist fell to the ground, the rainbow had gradually faded and disappeared. The Taoist handed them the bowl again, and said to the siblings with a smile: "You can also try it, follow my example, as long as the sprayed If the water is fine enough and rich enough, you can see a rainbow."

"Can we too?"

"Also."

"..."

My sister was dubious, took a sip from the bowl, her face became swollen, her mouth shrank to a small size, it was moist and red, and then she took a breath and opened her mouth to squirt.

"puff……"

"How not?"

"Again."

"puff……"

"Have it!"

The two children were overjoyed immediately.

Not to mention the two of them, even the grown-up woman next to her found it interesting to see them.

The two children began to play, you and me once, sometimes it can be done, and when it can't be done, it will come again, spraying out small rainbows, and disappearing after a while.

A bowl of water was quickly used up.

The two of them reacted.

The elder sister quickly turned around and bowed to the Taoist next to her: "Thank you, Daoist!"

The younger brother also bowed immediately:

"Thank you Daoist!"

The woman on the horseback raised her eyebrows: "Don't thank me?"

"Thank you, hero!"

"Are you happy?"

"happy!"

"happy!"

"It's a pity that this is fake..."

The younger brother said something with a little regret.

After hearing this, the Taoist turned to the little boy and asked, "This is also a rainbow. Why do you say it is fake?"

"Because it's really bigger, it will last longer, and it will hang in the sky." The little boy said, "Mother said, we can make wishes on it, just like shooting stars, every time we make a wish, Daddy will come back."

"So this is ah."

The Taoist nodded and smiled.

The older sister was more sensible than the younger brother, fearing that the Taoist would be unhappy, she hurriedly said, "But thank you, Daoist!"

"You're welcome."

The Taoist looked back and said nothing.

Just walk forward.

The siblings stood by the wall and looked at them, and the elder sister's voice came: "Please go slowly, Daoist hero, if you come again in the future, you will stay at our house."

"it is good."

"Thank you..."

The heroine on horseback and the Taoist walked away slowly.

The siblings were holding empty bowls and were about to go home when they suddenly heard a Taoist voice from afar:
"You two, please look behind you."

When the siblings heard the words, they turned around quickly.

A rainbow across the sky.
