I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 291 The Legend of Yuezhou
Walking all the way, the city is full of chills.

Soldiers seen on the roadside often come and go in groups. Some people often sharpen their swords and guns at the gate of the barracks, and some people often pull carts full of military supplies to and fro in the streets and alleys.

It can be seen that the war is in sight.

Think about it too——

Although Saibei is strong, General Chen has never been afraid of them, and Dayan is at the peak of his integrity, regardless of his military strength and national strength, he is at his peak. This time Saibei went south for the second time. The reason why General Chen focused on defense was because of It's just that there are demons to help out. Now that the demons are eliminated, people in Saibei are in panic and the morale of the army is in turmoil. General Chen will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

"arrive."

Master Zhang stopped at the gate of a compound.

The courtyard door was open, and Song You went in with him.

It is not as exquisite as ordinary houses in the city, but the conditions are much better than those of camping in the wild.Stepping into the gate of the courtyard, there is a large open space inside, and pear trees and vegetables are actually planted, and the whole courtyard is surrounded by loess tile houses, one by one, I heard that there is one for each person, and there is a special There is a room used as the main room, which is much better than ordinary soldiers.

There are people coming and going in the courtyard, and some people are drying clothes.

"Mr. Jiang."

Master Zhang grabbed Mr. Jiang who looked the most leisurely: "I don't know if Mr. Qiao is here?"

"In the house."

"Thank you."

Zhang Junshi led Song You over.

Knock on the door, and soon someone will open the door.

Mr. Qiao is a tall and thin middle-aged man. According to Zhang Junshi, he can draw several kinds of talismans. Some of them can be worn on the body to avoid evil spirits, some can be burned to avoid illness, and some can be painted on the sword to kill ghosts. , but it is also a folk expert who is very much needed in the army.Mr. Qiao was originally from Yuezhou, but he had no choice but to join the army. I heard that he knows the affairs of Yuezhou very well.

It's just that when Mr. Qiao saw Song You, he was stunned for a while.

"What are you doing in a daze? Are you frightened by Mr. Song?" Zhang Junshi looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Song went down the mountain to wander the world, and the next place is going to Yuezhou. I want to ask about Yuezhou. I am thinking of you. I'm from Yuezhou, although I, Zhang, know a little bit, but I don't know as well as you, so I brought Mr. Song to find you."

"oh oh……"

Only then did Mr. Qiao react.

Song You glanced at his expression, looked past him, and glanced into the room, and saw that although the room was not big, there were many paintings on the walls, most of which were scenes of the military killing.

It can be called a good painting.

It's just that although there are often literati in the army these days, and there is no shortage of people who like the way of painting, it seems that there are not many military paintings that can be seen, and most of them are paintings of generals.However, this painting is mostly a big scene, either the two armies fought fiercely, or the corpses flowed into water after the battle, or the army marched like a long dragon, or the tents stretched for tens of miles, which is a rare style in the market. .

There is a table in front of the bed, on which there are paint brushes and a half-painted painting.

The painting is exactly the scene of yesterday.

Song You withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Mr. Qiao.

"Mr. Song is a master of the gods. How dare someone neglect Qiao when he comes here?" Mr. Qiao reacted, hurried out of the room, and closed the door. "It's time to make a pot of tea for Mr. Song."

"Want to drink tea? Then you have to call me." Jiang Dadu smiled and walked over after drying the clothes.

A group of people entered the hall.

The Stranger Camp is full of strange people from the rivers and lakes and some masters of the folk. They each have their own skills, but their skills are not limited to those weird spells, and often have other hobbies. With all kinds of skills, he is also a wonderful person.

Jiang Dadu is the most leisurely.

First of all, his skills are passed down from his ancestors, and he was born with them in his mother's womb. He doesn't need to practice hard, and he doesn't need to work hard to acquire them.

Secondly, although his ability is powerful, it only takes three days to use it once. Unlike Xing Wu and Mr. Qiao, General Chen wants to turn defense into offense, so they have to work overtime to prepare alchemy symbols.Only a few people like Mr. Jiang can continue to stay in the barracks, washing and drying clothes in a leisurely manner.

Mr. Jiang likes to drink tea on weekdays, and he has a good tea art.

The conditions in the army are tough, but no matter whether it is General Chen or Zhang Junshi, they all take special care of them, who either voluntarily serve the country or come to follow and help them. Therefore, in Jiang Dadu's barracks, There is actually Long Tuan tribute tea that is rare for many nobles in Changjing.

Jiang Dadu seemed to treat Song You as a god.

Take good tea, carefully crush and sieve it, and take good water to fry. Every step is meticulous, and it has achieved the extreme that can be done in this military camp. Even Zhang Jundi called it a luxury after drinking it.

"Today is the blessing of Mr. Song. On weekdays, Jiang Dadu would not entertain us like this easily." Zhang Junshi said.

"What does Mr. Song want to ask?"

"I just want to ask what are the famous mountains and rivers in Yuezhou, what are the unique customs, what are the monsters, and what are the magical places. I might as well take a walk next to each other."

"Ugh……"

Mr. Qiao sighed, but put down the teacup in his hand.

"How many heads are left in Yuezhou now..."

"How to say?"

"The last time Saibei people went south, I was still young. The imperial court's defenses were in Yanzhou and Hezhou, and Yuezhou's defenses were sparse. Saibei people crossed the border. It may be exaggerated to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces, but it is not much worse. However, when the Saibei soldiers After the defeat recedes, the monsters will make trouble, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to talk about ten rooms and nine empty spaces at that time." Mr. Qiao couldn't help sighing, "Before that, there was a big demon king in the south of Yuezhou, who was called the White Bull King by the locals. It occupies almost half of Yuezhou. Compared with the demon kings in Yecheng and Heyuan, they raise the people in the territory as livestock. Who would dare to stay there? Even if there are people who survived the war and plague, the monster kings After being tortured, they moved away early, and I did the same, so I left my hometown to follow General Chen."

Song You's expression was very calm when he heard this:
"now what?"

"It seems that not long after the spring of this year, Zhang heard rumors that the White Bull King of Yuezhou was also beaten to death by the gods." Junshi Zhang said beside him, but the divine light couldn't help dimming, "But now the south of Yuezhou There are almost no people there, the previous ones are almost dead, and no one dares to move there in a short period of time, I am afraid that they will have to wait a few years for the north to stabilize and the court will pull people to fill in."

"When I left, there were very few people living in the southern part of Yuezhou, that is, the territory occupied by the White Bull King. I'm afraid there are really few people now." Mr. Qiao also said.

"On the west side of Yuezhou, next to Yanzhou, there are still some people, and the long gun gate is over there." Mr. Jiang said, "The long gun gate is all good men."

"But apart from the Long Spear Gate, there are not many people left." Junshi Zhang said again.

"..."

Song You couldn't help being a little silent.

There are very few people left in a state. It seems that military disasters at any time have this power. It is also a common thing in troubled times that big monsters keep people, but it still can't help but make people feel frightened.

Fortunately, the gods of Tiangong are still capable. In the past few years, they have focused on suppressing the northern demons, and they have really wiped out several great demon kings who have accumulated strength for an unknown amount of time and have emerged in this troubled world.

"Sir, if you want to go to Changqiangmen, Mr. Zhang can write a letter and go with General Chen's name, and Changqiangmen will not dare to neglect you." Junshi Zhang said.

"Yuezhou also has a few good scenery. When I was young, I liked to draw and went to many places, such as Tianzhu Mountain, the colorful pond, and Yuelong Waterfall. Before Yuezhou was not affected by military disasters. There are also many literati and refined scholars who are free to go to play, and I heard that Zhushan, in its heyday, collected 10 taels of silver every year for the "mountain tax".

The so-called mountain tax is equivalent to the ticket these days.

But don’t think that there are not many people who like to travel because of the inconvenient transportation these days. In fact, there have been countless literati and scholars in the past dynasties who are keen on landscapes. Because of Dayan’s economic development, some ordinary people with better families sometimes travel to nearby places. , although life seems ordinary, as long as there is spare energy, there are ordinary people who will try their best to make it shine.

So the government surrounded the mountain to collect taxes.

There are no taxes like Yunding Mountain, and there are taxes like Tianzhu Mountain.

Things are different everywhere.

Seeing that Song You was interested, Mr. Qiao told him in detail.

Including where these places are, how to go, and which one is closest to which one, all talk to Song You.

Song You listened carefully and remembered.

Mr. Qiao looked at him quietly from time to time.

After writing it down, Song Youcai asked again: "I heard that there is a green tung tree forest in the north of Yuezhou, where you can see phoenixes. I wonder if it is true or not?"

"I was planning to tell my husband about the green tung tree forest." Mr. Qiao said, "There is indeed such a legend in Yuezhou. In the original Ning County, there is indeed such a green tung tree forest, where there are all old green tung trees The age of thousands of years is as high as a cloud, and the biggest fear is that dozens of people can't hug it together. It is bigger than this room, and the branches that grow on the tree can leave people. But it is said that the green paulownia tree only Only the phoenix can climb, and it is unlucky for ordinary people to climb up, so no one dares to climb up, and no one dares to cut down."

Take a break:
"I heard that every winter solstice and summer solstice, you may see a phoenix there. Some people have seen it. I also heard that someone took the bark of the paulownia tree there to make paper, and the things drawn could even come true. I have been there. , but I have never seen a phoenix, and I don’t know how to make paper from the bark of the green tung tree. I only know that the scenery there is beautiful, except for the frequent clouds and miasma.

"Zhang has also heard of it." Zhang Junshi said, "I heard that the one who went to see the summer solstice was the fire bird, and the one who went to the winter solstice was the ice bird. Some said it was a phoenix, and some said it was a black bird. Divine bird. Even if it is real, it is shouted by ordinary people who have seen it by chance, and who can tell what the real bird is called."

"rational."

Song You nodded and said.

"Zhang has also heard a saying." Zhang Junshi said, "Some people say that this divine bird will take away the souls of the world when it flies by, and some people say that the divine bird will only come when there are virtuous and virtuous people on the ground. Otherwise, even if you go to the winter solstice and summer solstice, you won’t be able to see it.”

"Is that so..."

Song You showed a thoughtful look.

"Mister is going?"

"Of course to go."

"It's summer now, and the summer solstice is not long away. Sir, you should be able to catch up with us now..." Junshi Zhang paused, and quietly glanced at Song You, "If you want to stay in the army for a long time, sir, take a look at this The different scenery in the military can wait until the winter solstice, which is a matter of a few months."

Said Junshi Zhang immediately added: "Although the demons in the Northern Saibei Army have been eliminated, there may still be hidden ones, or in other armies. If you wish to stay more in the army, sir, I will treat you well." .”

Song You couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard the words.
