I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 222 Needless to say
The three-flowered cat who came out of Xu's house was still taking small steps, briskly avoiding the horse manure on the road, but frowning.

The swordsman was also a little silent.

But when the Taoist looked over, the swordsman was very calm, holding his sword and said to him:

"gentlemen."

"what happened?"

"Shu wants to go to the city to buy a quilt." The swordsman glanced at the quilt on the back of the bay red horse. "Buy another set of cushions and thin quilts. It will be more convenient to travel to the north in the future."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, going down here is the North City Gate. Mr. Shu has already asked Mr. Xu that there are shops selling quilt bags only in the south. Sir, you can wait for me at the North Gate. If you don't want to wait, you can go ahead, so that Mr. Come with me to detour a bit more." Shu Yifan said, "Shu is finished shopping, by the way, ask for directions, and catch up soon."

Song You thought for a while before replying, "Then I'll go out through the North City Gate and walk along the official road."

"it is good!"

The city was deserted, the swordsman mounted his horse and trotted away.

Song You looked at the figure of the swordsman.

This swordsman used to be free and easy, and his luggage was simple, so he came and went like the wind. Even in the cold winter, he would wear at most one thick layer of clothes.

Most of them were brought by themselves...

Song You turned around, looked down, and saw the Sanhua Mao squatting on the side of the road ahead, frowning, looking sad, waiting for him.

Who knows what the cat is thinking.

"Let's go."

Sanhua Mao also stood up when he heard the words, turned to look at him, and then continued to walk forward with small steps.

"Why is Empress Sanhua sad?"

"Well?"

Sanhuamao stopped slightly and looked back at him.

Facing Sanhua Mao's gaze, the Taoist smiled and asked, "Is Mistress Sanhua thinking about anything?"

"..."

The three-flowered cat continued to stare at him.

After staring for a few times, she looked away again, without saying anything, and walked forward shaking her head.

Just go a little slower than before.

When Song You caught up with her and was almost at the same level as her, she turned her head, raised her head, stared at him and said, "If Empress Sanhua's mother is still alive, Empress Sanhua will treat her very well... ..."

The voice is soft and thin, which is really nice.

Song You thought for a while, and only replied:
"That's natural."

The Xu family originally lived in Beicheng, and walking down this street is the Beicheng Gate.

Song You went out of the city gate and didn't stop.

About two quarters of an hour later—

On the green hills on the small road outside the city, a person, a cat, and a horse stood on a small hillside, looking into the distance with the wind blowing.

At the foot of the mountain is the official road, which is not wide, but it is very different from the road in the south.Most of the official roads in the south run around the mountains, with twists and turns, but this side is a straight road, and the turns are only a fold. At the same time, the mountains here are much sparser than those in the south. The road bends too easily.

Sanhuamao had nothing to think about, just sat on the ground and combed its hair carefully.

Song You turned his head and glanced left and right.

One is the direction of Lei Qingguan.

It's just that this place is one day's journey away from Lei Qingguan. Although the field of vision is wide, it is still far away.

One is Zhijiang County behind him.

The county town has a panoramic view.

The river moat, the archery towers on the city wall, and the houses and courtyards inside can all be seen clearly, and even the courtyard of the Xu family can be vaguely discerned.

Song You didn't say anything, but quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to look to the north.

A straight road leads north.

Song You took a few glances, then turned around, and pulled out the painting box from the back of the bay red horse beside him.

After a moment-

Master Dou took his luggage and stood on the mountain, looking around.

"This is Zhijiang County, Hezhou. The master looked behind him, and that county is Zhijiang." Song You stood beside him, his hair and skirts were blown by the breeze, "This place is eight hundred miles away from Changjing. Far away, the master's departure from here should not be noticed by the people of the rivers and lakes."

"Hezhou... Zhijiang..."

"Yes."

Song You explained patiently: "After I left Beijing, I planned to go to the north, so I went all the way north. However, the north is dangerous and there are many monsters. For Master, the south is better."

"Mr. Dou is very grateful for what you have done."

"After Grandmaster leaves, it's best to go south and bypass Changjing." Song You said, and asked him again, "Is there a place for Grandmaster?"

"Just looking for a place to hide."

"If there are not many requirements, I will know a place with few people in the next place."

"Please teach me, sir!"

"From Xuzhou to Pingzhou, there is an old road from Xiangle County in Xuzhou to Nanhua County in Pingzhou. In recent years, it has been slowly given up by business travelers, and there are very few people who still walk on this road." Song You said and paused, "I came from Xuzhou, but I have walked this road before. There are many demons and ghosts, but there is a mountain god in the mountain, and under the restraint of the mountain god, the ghosts in the mountain are also very honest and don't easily hurt people. There are also some residents in the mountain, as long as they don't run around at night, they will be fine."

"Sir, are you serious?"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense."

"In that case, it's a good place to go."

"It's thousands of miles from here to Pingzhou. If the master really decides to go, I will give you a gift." Song You said to him.

"Sir, Mr. Dou is already very kind to Mr. Dou, how can Mr. Dou ask for Mr.'s gift again?"

"That's wrong." Song You shook his head, "If you want to talk about kindness, I have also benefited a lot from the master, if you want to talk about friendship, I have been treated by the master several times during the painting, and I am very grateful. Regardless of the kindness and friendship, the master does not need to talk too much with the subordinates. Besides, it is not a great gift, it is just to help the master to reach Pingzhou better and live in the mountains."

"Then Dou has the audacity to accept it..."

Song You groped on the horse's back for a while, and took out three talisman papers and a pill from the quilt bag.

"These two talismans, one to drive away demons and the other to drive away ghosts. When Master arrives in Pingzhou Mountain, if you don't want to be disturbed by ghosts, you can just hang them on the wall in the house." Song You said, "If you make friends with ghosts If you want to invite him to be a guest at home, just take it off."

"Thank you sir."

"As for this talisman and elixir." Song You smiled, "When I was leaving Beijing a few days ago, I happened to meet a strange man on the road, and it was quite speculative to talk to him. This man travels thousands of miles every day. Curious about his ability, he brazenly begged for a talisman and a pill."

"This……"

Master Dou stared at him blankly, deeply moved.

"Master, don't worry, I'm traveling the world, and I've never been in a hurry. I asked for this talisman and this pill, one is to study the ingenuity, and the other is for the master." Song You said, "I just studied it. I haven't seen anything famous for a few days, and now that the master is about to leave, it's just for the master to use."

"..."

Master Dou was stunned for a long time before giving a deep salute.

"Don't be too polite."

Song You took out a thick bowl, poured half a bowl of water, melted the elixir, shook the talisman paper, and it burned.

"According to that strange man, the talisman paper pill turns water into ointment, and when applied on the calf, it can travel three hundred miles a day and control hundreds of miles. Although I haven't learned the secrets of this magic, I will add to it Some spiritual power can make it last longer, and it can still do it, maybe it can make the master go a little further."

The talisman paper was pressed into the water, but it did not go out, but still burned, bubbling.

By the time the paper was completely burned in the water, the bowl of water would have turned into a mush.

"When you apply it, you will feel cool at first, and then you will feel tingling, bear with it, and it will be fine soon." Song You handed it to Master Dou, "Master, do it yourself."

"Thank you."

Master Dou took the bowl without any doubt, even lifted up his robe and trousers.

Putting on the ointment, as Song You said, at first it felt icy and cool, like an ice compress, but I don't know if the cold is superimposed or it is getting colder and colder. It didn't take long before I felt bitingly cold.

Master Dou's cry of pain resounded in the mountains.

After a while, the coldness faded away.

Master Dou began to feel as light as a swallow.

Jumping back and forth a few steps in the same place, I thought it was very interesting, when I looked at Song You again, I saw that Song You had already picked up his bag, handed it to him, and smiled at him: "Master, let's go now. "

"..."

The excitement on Master Dou's face also stopped, and he stopped, took the bag and a sword box from Song You, and when he looked at Song You again, his expression was very complicated.

"We met for the first time in Taiwei's Mansion. It was Dou who offended Mister. Not only did Mr. Dou not blame Dou, but he did not covet Dou's family paintings. On the contrary, it was very helpful..." Master Dou's expression became more and more complicated. Such an expert is a blessing in Dou's life, now that I am saying goodbye to my husband here, I am afraid it will be difficult to see him again in this lifetime."

"Meeting is fate, parting is also fate."

"Please accept my gift, sir!"

Master Dou took his luggage and gave a big gift: "Sir, you are so kind and virtuous, I will never forget it."

"Master walk slowly."

"Farewell."

No matter how many words there are, there is nothing to say at this time.

Master Dou took his luggage and put two paintings in a sword case on his back. He took a step forward, his body was as light as a swallow, and he could take several steps compared to ordinary people. After a few steps, he went down the mountain along the path.

For a while, he looked like a knight with light skills.

Song You still stood here, watching his figure appear on the official road at the foot of the mountain, stopped and hugged himself, and then disappeared on the official road again.

"Taoist priest……"

"Ok?"

"Shall we go too?"

"Listen to Empress Sanhua."

So Song You turned around and closed the painting box, and put the empty painting box back into the quilt bag, so as not to meet people from the Jianghu on the road.

"Empress Sanhua listens to you."

"Well, I'll listen to Empress Sanhua first, and Empress Sanhua will listen to me later."

"..."

The three-flowered cat looked up at him, then followed him down the mountain.

The bay red horse also followed behind obediently.

A man, a cat, and a horse also appeared on the official road below, but they walked in the opposite direction to Master Dou, not in a hurry.

"thorough!"

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

A man, a cat, and a horse all stopped, and looking back, they saw a swordsman galloping towards him on a black horse with an extra quilt bag on his back, similar to Song You's, but smaller, so even It doesn't matter much when a person sits on horseback.The quilt was bulging, and it was obvious that the thin quilt and cushion had been packed.

"Call..."

The swordsman got off his horse and led the horse away.

"gentlemen."

"Is it ready?"

"bought it."

"Let's go then."

There is a straight road ahead, and the street trees are sparse.
