I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 203

In the first few days of the new year, guests often come.

The first is Miss Wanjiang from Hexian Tower.

In fact, after visiting the Yuqu River in autumn before, she also came to visit several times, or brought a pot of wine and some snacks, or sent some fruits that were not easy to buy in the market, chatted with him about ghosts and gods, or sighed a few times. The matter of the princess, in short, is something that is not easy to talk about with other people.

Sure enough, the powerful princess did not come to disturb Song You, but she also asked Miss Wanjiang to bring a letter, which contained a lot of polite words.

Cui Nanxi is here, and General Chen is also here.

Including City God came again.

There were also some high-ranking officials who didn't meet much, and they all brought gifts, saying that they were here to celebrate the New Year.

Song You said goodbye to them one by one.

As for gifts...

Some gifts are difficult to accept, and some are difficult to refuse, but even if it is an accepted gift, most of them cannot be taken away.Some of them could be taken away, even given very cleverly and appropriately, but Song You didn't want to take them away.I don't want to sell them for money, so I can only pile them up in this room.

A few days later, some Changjing people who had helped him also came, thanking him for his good deeds, and often brought some small gifts. These gifts are very real, and most of them can be imported.

Someone even sent preserved eggs bought by Dongcheng.

But it's also a burden—

Song You has been cleaning up the things in his home on purpose since last month. He doesn’t even mention bacon and kimchi. If you can’t take it away after eating, you can leave it to the neighbors. Eggs, rice noodles, sauce and vinegar need to be cleaned up, but the old ones haven’t been left yet. After eating, someone sent a new one, which is really helpless.

So much so that sometimes Song You felt in a trance, that he had helped so many people after such a lazy year.

Until the seventh day of the first lunar month, Song You was still eating eggs brought by a woman.

However, another woman brought food.

"Thank you very much..."

Song You finally sent the woman away, but he saw a lame middle-aged Taoist standing outside the door, followed by a Taoist boy, carrying a small package of gifts.

The middle-aged Taoist stared at him, immediately saluted and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, be merciful."

"The national teacher is here too."

"It seems fellow daoist is very busy these days." The national teacher walked in with a smile. After several conversations, the two sides got to know each other a lot. Friends, don't think that it is right for the poor to be negligent."

"The national teacher is joking." Song You smiled helplessly, "It's funny to say, I have been free in Changjing, I didn't expect to be very busy these days."

"Fellow Daoist has often helped the people of the capital since he came to Changjing. It is reasonable for someone to come to celebrate the New Year. This shows that the people of my Dayan have not forgotten the ceremony." The national teacher said with a smile, "The poor Taoist knows Fellow Daoist doesn't like these things, so he only brought a pack of spices, thinking that Fellow Daoist can use it, I hope Fellow Daoist will not refuse."

"Thank you, Master."

"Poverty Dao came here, in addition to congratulatory gifts, he also brought a commission from His Majesty, a piece of news."

"Oh?"

"Last year, Changjing had a bumper harvest, thanks to fellow daoists. His Majesty would like to invite you to the palace as a guest. I would like to express my thanks personally. I wonder if you would like to?"

"Good intentions, but I will leave Changjing in a short time. During the rest of the time, I still want to walk around the capital, take a look, and make some preparations, so I ask the national teacher to reply to your majesty for me."

"Then His Majesty will blame the poor eloquence." The national teacher smiled and did not persuade him much, but said, "There is one more piece of news, but it is good news."

"What good news?"

"Dayan now has a population of nearly [-] million, with a lot of people and little land. Many people can't afford to eat just relying on the harvest in the field. A few days ago, there was news from Xuzhou that Anqing Yanxian appeared, saying that it was from Overseas brought back a fine variety with a higher yield than the original oriental rice, and asked the people of Anqing to plant it. After the state officials learned about it, they submitted it to the imperial court. His Majesty was overjoyed after hearing this, and ordered Yanxian to come to Beijing." Guoshi Said, "I heard that Yan Xian was instructed by a fellow Taoist, so he can be regarded as an old friend of a fellow Taoist."

"It's not advice, it's just a suggestion."

"This move is of great merit."

"It's all the work of Immortal Yan."

"Naturally..." The national teacher was thoughtful after hearing this, "But Yanxian has agreed to go to Beijing, and he should arrive in a few days. The poor Taoist must first inform Yanxian, and invite him to come and catch up with fellow Taoists."

Song You looked at the national teacher, and asked, "I don't know what your majesty and the national teacher think?"

"Since ancient times, gods and spirits have been accomplished through meritorious deeds. If the good seeds recovered by Yanxian can really solve the urgent needs of the people of Dayan, they will be of great merit." The crime of stealing food from the warehouse is also for the relief of the victims, so it should not be punished. If the improved seeds are useful, it is another miraculous achievement, and it should be made a god."

The national teacher paused after finishing speaking:
"As for this kind of merit, hehe, there is no need for fellow Taoists to worry. Gods who rely on the merits they have robbed will not last long after all. If there is any god who can do such a thing, he should also fall from the altar."

"The national teacher is wise."

The national teacher heard the words but just looked at Song You with a smile: "I don't know if this is the case, are you satisfied?"

Song You also nodded, and said lightly: "With the words of the national teacher, I can rest assured."

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Although he agreed to Lao Yanxian, it should be so—if there is someone in Changjing who dares to seize this merit and become a god, or if there is a god in the sky who can make a deed to seize merit To consolidate the position of God, Song You can only say that it is troublesome for him to manage the affairs of the world, but leaving the world is exactly what he is good at.

"The mortal world shouldn't have much contact with gods and ghosts. In the past, when the imperial court granted the gods, they would not really ask the heroic spirits and demons to lead the decree. But this time, His Majesty has invited Yan Xian to come here, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to it."

"Your Majesty is also a wise king."

"Yes." The national teacher nodded, "Afterwards, it should be the same as the introduction of Dongfang rice before. It should be trial-planted in one place, and the harvest will be good. Then it will be implemented on a trial basis, and then it will slowly spread to the whole country. It will take some time."

"That's not what I'm good at."

"Fellow Daoist, you are humble..."

"Just tell the truth."

"Just now I heard that you are going to leave Changjing."

"That's right." Song You said, "Since you are traveling around the world, naturally you can't stay in one place all the time. I have gained enough in Changjing, and I will just wait for the next time to see it."

"Which way are you going, fellow daoist?"

"To be honest, I'm a lazy person, but I haven't thought about it yet." Song You paused and looked up at the national teacher, "But for now, it really doesn't matter which way you go. Maybe wait until Now that you have left Changjing City, you will naturally know where you are going, so why worry about it in advance, it is better to let nature take its course."

"Fellow Daoist really has a different mind from us."

"The national teacher thinks, which way should I go?"

"Since it's following the wishes of fellow daoists and letting nature take its course, poor daoists don't want to talk too much." The national teacher also had a very calm expression, and then said, "It's just that fellow daoists are traveling, no matter whether they go north, south, or east, They will all return to Changjing again, and when they come back, Changjing will probably undergo some changes."

"That's what comes naturally."

"Hahaha……"

The national teacher chatted with him for a while, drank a pot of tea, and then left, leaving with a pair of lame legs.

Song You got up indifferently, went to wash the teapot and cups, and didn't open the gift from the national teacher, just put it on the gifts piled up beside him, and left it alone.

In the next few days, fewer people came.

Song You still went out to hang out every day, seeing all kinds of things in Changjing, shopping in the East Market and shopping in the West Market.

The quilt bag has been taken out, and it is placed upstairs. He and Empress Sanhua put a little thing in it every day, and only put a little thing in it every day, and never put more, so they are doing it in a leisurely manner. Preparation neither gives them a sense of haste nor forgets something in the haste.

Song You wanted to wait until Lao Yanxian, and then leave.

Before you know it, it's the end of the first month.

The people of Changjing looked up at the flock of birds flying overhead, just like the Jianghu people at the Anqing Liujiang Conference.

"What kind of bird is that?"

"Looks like a swallow."

"Swallow? Where did the swallow come from so early?"

However, they were even more surprised than the warriors from the rivers and lakes at the Liujiang Conference - the people from the rivers and lakes were in Anqing at that time, standing on the Yanxian Terrace, knowing that there was a Yanxian in Anqing, but the people in Changjing at this time did not know The existence of Yanxian only knows that there are no swallows in Changjing at this time of year.

As for the shock, not necessarily.

Back then, the group of Jianghu people saw many ghosts and ghosts, so they were not too surprised to know that the swallows in the sky were unusual. The people in Changjing didn't see many, but they didn't think it was a monster or god, they just thought it was a vision.

But Changjing is not just a mortal.

There is Tianhai Temple in the city, and there are many monks with Taoism in the temple, and there are also eminent monks from other places who place orders here.There is also Juxian Mansion in the city, which was built by the national teacher, and people from all over the country gathered in it.There is also a city god and several priests in the Chenghuang Temple, and there are countless demons and ghosts in the city.

When the swallows flew by, all those who sensed it looked up. Some were vigilant, some were amazed, some were timid, and some were emotional.

The old Yanxian who has practiced for thousands of years has entered Beijing.

……

That night, Song You was sitting in front of the table, while Sanhuamao was squatting at the door, only giving him a back view, wagging its tail from side to side.

It was pitch black outside, so I don't know what it was looking at.

Suddenly, the cat raised its head.

The night sky is quiet, without stars or moon.

The cat seemed to see something.

"Taoist priest."

The cat immediately turned its head and said to the Taoist behind him, "The swallow you were waiting for is here!"

"come back."

Sanhuamao immediately turned around and ran back, sat beside him, looked up and continued to look outside.

"Thank you, Empress Sanhua."

Song You bowed his head and said something to her.

When he raised his head again, there were already several figures at the door.

The leader was an old man, tall and thin, with silver hair and wrinkled face, as if the wind could blow him down.Behind him were several young men and women, all thin and tall, and each of them was extremely good-looking.

Mao'er glanced at several young men and women.

Song You's gaze also swept over the juniors behind Yanxian, and then he looked at Old Yanxian, and stood up to greet him:

"Yanxian, long time no see."

"Sir..."

Old Yan Xian quickly walked in, his face full of emotion, he made a gesture of saluting as he walked, and immediately said, "How should I thank you sir?"

"I don't dare to accept such a big gift from Yanxian." Song You said to him, "Don't talk too much, please sit down quickly."

"Thank you sir!"

Old Yan Xian sat down.

Several juniors stood behind him, quietly aiming at Song You.

"It's too late today, so I won't invite Yan Xian to drink tea, but please drink a glass of water." Song You poured a glass of water for the old Yan Xian, and the first sentence was, "Why didn't you see Yan An? "

"Sir, don't worry, Yan'an is fine. It's just that they searched scatteredly, and it was difficult to communicate with each other. Some have returned, and some have not yet." Lao Yanxian said, "I can feel that Yan'an is still there at this time. During the overseas search, when he comes back, the old man will tell him to come to see Mr. immediately."

"I see."

Song You breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look at Yanxian.

It has been three years since the farewell to Anqing back then. Seeing you again at this time, I feel a little sad.

This old Yanxian is getting older again.
