I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 524 I invite God to come, who dares not to come?
Free runs like an antelope, jumping very high. It easily jumps over many weeds in the loess desert. Every step it takes to hit the ground stirs up a few bits of yellow sand.

However, the pursuers behind him were also in hot pursuit.

Occasionally, arrows were shot and nailed to the ground.

I don't know whether it was due to a sudden illness and seeking medical attention, or because it sensed the true nature of the Taoist, or because it recognized the swallow in the sky. Youliang quickly ran to the Taoist with his pursuers, and then he hid directly behind the Taoist and the bay-red horse. Stop and stop running.

The calico cat turned around and stared at it in confusion.

Youli stood behind the Taoist, stretched his neck, stuck his head out from behind the Taoist, and stared ahead silently.

"Call..."

The pursuers behind them quickly reined in their horses. They sat on the horses and looked at the Taoist and the spirits behind them. They either frowned or were wary, but also looked at the yellow-robed monk at the front.

The leading monk dismounted.

The rest of the people also quickly got off their horses, immediately adjusted their positions, and surrounded Song You and others with weapons in hand. However, their eyes might be aimed at Song You, but the weapons were not aimed at him, but at the person hiding behind him. That monster.

"Amitabha……"

The leading fat monk looked at Song You and his entourage and saluted him: "The poor monk's name is Xuanhua. He is the abbot and abbot of Xuanbi Temple in Shanan County, Ye County, Longzhou. You are polite."

"My surname is Song, and my name is You. I am a Taoist from Youfang. You are polite."

Song You also returned the favor.

This monk looks to be in his 40s or [-]s, with big hanging ears, suffering from the bitter cold in the northwest, the scorching sun, yellow sand, and north wind. However, his face is as white as jade. Although his facial features cannot be said to be very good-looking, they give people a kind of... The very comfortable feeling is the same as when Sanhua Empress and Swallow turned into human form. You can tell that it is extraordinary at a glance.

The abbot of the Hanging Wall Temple shows that he is the head of the temple, and the abbot shows that he also has a very high prestige in the local Buddhist temple.

Song You paused for a moment, turned around and glanced at the swallow on the horse's head, and at the spirit, and then asked them, "Why are you chasing a spirit here?"

As soon as he said these words, everyone knew from his expression and tone that this Taoist was extraordinary.

"Is Taoist Master Song a foreigner?"

"People from Yizhou come here after traveling."

"Taoist Master Song did not know that Longzhou, Shazhou and the Western Regions have all suffered from severe drought this year, and it was this monster that did it." Master Xuanhua said, "At the invitation of the governor of Longzhou, we have been looking for it for a long time. We finally found it recently, please give way to the Taoist priest and let us capture it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit behind him immediately let out a low-pitched cry. The sound was ethereal, as if it was in a deep valley and had its own resonance.

Several warriors were either startled or even more vigilant.

The Taoist who was close to it didn't seem to hear it, and just asked: "How does the master know that the drought is caused by it?"

"Historical books record that there were several severe droughts in the northwest, and it was traced every time." Master Xuanhua also said humbly, "There is a book that said that it was the cause of drought."

"Is there any record of its name in the book?"

"It's called a landluer."

"That's a bad word."

Song You, however, looked calm, shook his head and said: "This beast is called Youli, and it is just an elf born between heaven and earth. Although it does often appear with natural disasters, it is actually weak and does not have the ability to travel thousands of miles on dry land, nor does it bring natural disasters. . On the other hand, if you have a clear vision, you can use it to know about natural disasters and avoid disasters. However, if you think that natural disasters are caused by it, and think that killing it can eliminate natural disasters, and place your hope of fighting against natural disasters on this, it is a big mistake. Very wrong."

"This……"

Master Xuanhua wanted to refute, but seeing that he was very sincere and convincing, and that he really had no real evidence, he was stuck.

However, a young monk behind him whispered:
"Could this man be bewitched?"

When Master Xuanhua heard this, he just tilted his head slightly, waved his hand towards him, and then asked sincerely: "Where did these Taoist priests hear it from?"

"My ancestor has verified it."

"..."

Master Xuanhua thought for a moment, put his hands together and asked, "Does the Taoist want to persuade us to let the landluer go?"

"This is not an easy task. To be honest, along the way, I have seen the severe drought in the northwest and the suffering of the people. I can't bear it. I have been thinking about how to deal with it in recent days."

Song You's tone was gentle, polite and very sincere.

As he spoke, he looked back at the spirit.

The spirit was about the same size as a sheep, and its figure was unusually slender and slender, giving people a sense of elegance and agility. Its eyes were very clear, and it was staring at him unblinkingly.

"But Youliang is not the culprit of the drought. What's more, I was hungry and thirsty along the way. Thanks to its guidance, I found the water source, which shows that it has a kind heart. If the master really catches it and kills it, It means destroying a pure life. If the master later finds out that the drought has not stopped after killing it, but has become more serious, perhaps his whole practice will be ruined by doubts and uneasiness day and night in the future."

"..."

These words are truly sincere.

When Master Xuanhua heard this, he was silent for a long time.

After the silence, he first saluted Song You, and then asked: "What method does the Taoist master have to control the drought?"

"I've been curious for the past few days. Is there no god who controls the weather here?"

"There was actually a rain god..."

"How to say?"

"It's just that in recent years, the weather has been good in Shazhou, Longzhou, and there are even some places with abundant water and plants. As a result, there are many fewer people worshiping the God of Rain." Master Xuanhua couldn't help but pause for a moment before saying, "Moreover, the Rain God is a Taoist god. In recent years, Longzhou has been lucky. Many people in Shazhou have begun to believe in our Buddha. At this time, we offer incense and pray to the Rain God. How can the Rain God pay attention to us so easily."

"This is also..."

Although gods come from humans and should serve humans, gods have their own thoughts after all. With thoughts, they have character, temper, and stance, otherwise there would not be so many immoral gods.

In the past, when the water and grass were plentiful, we did not provide food to others, and even gradually turned to Buddhism. Now that the world is in trouble, we have to ask people to come out to work. How can it be so easy?
Once the drought is over, will people be abandoned again?

There is no such thing.

If it were not a truly virtuous god, then any ordinary god would probably have to sit on the sidelines for a long time, waiting for the people to suffer enough, and wait for the people to realize his importance again. Only when you have incense will you consider going out to do things.

Song You thought for a while and then said: "If there is a altar for incense tables, I am willing to convince him."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"I'm good at persuading people."

"..."

Master Xuanhua thinks this is true.

Most people who practice Buddhism have exquisite and clear eyes. From what he saw and felt at this time, although this Taoist was not an eloquent person, his speech was clear and coherent. In addition, his tone was sincere and polite, and he communicated sincerely. Naturally, it is easy for people to accept.

"I just heard that Lord Zhizhou also asked Taoists to set up an incense altar and asked the rain god to help, but no one could do it."

"I'm also good at inviting gods."

"Taoist Priest is so confident?" "I am not very well-known among the gods of the Heavenly Palace, so I want to give it a try."

"I see……"

Master Xuanhua looked at him sometimes, and sometimes at Li Li behind him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, another voice came from beside him:
"Has the fine seed from Yanxian been passed down here?"

It was a young and clean voice, obviously not coming from this Taoist.

Everyone followed the sound and were shocked when they saw that the source of the sound was the swallow standing above the horse.

Even the two young monks behind Master Xuanhua were surprised and stared at Yanzi warily.

Only Master Xuanhua remained calm and respectfully replied:
"The fine seeds of Yanxian have been spread to Longzhou."

"I am the descendant of Anqing Yanxian." The swallow's mouth opened and closed, and a human voice came from it, but the voice was small, and it was a little trembling if you listened carefully. "As long as my husband offers incense and invites me, there are less gods in the heavenly palace who dare to come than I can count on both hands. There will never be more than three gods who dare not respond.”

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened.

Master Xuanhua was also stunned for a moment, then looked at the swallow carefully and believed what he said.

With the endorsement of the gods, and the fact that it was Anqing Yanxian who had a very good reputation in Dayan recently and had made tangible contributions to the people, Master Xuanhua no longer doubted it and kept his mouth shut.

The Taoist slowly turned around, pointed in a direction, and smiled at the little elf behind him:
"This is a repayment of your kindness."

"Hey..."

"Be smarter from now on. If you know that people suspect you of causing drought, run away from them. Don't get caught again." Song You's tone was still gentle, "Go ahead."

The spirit kicked its legs and jumped into the distance.

Several warriors held bows and arrows and had already surrounded it. They were frightened by the Taoist's words. At this time, they refused to release their arrows. They all aimed at the white jade monk in the middle. They saw that the monk just clasped his hands and lowered his head. , and slowly put down the bow and arrow.

Then I saw the spirit jumping and running into the distance. Its figure was elegant and light. It jumped very high with every jump. In the vast world, it really looked like a carefree spirit.

The spirit soon became a small dot, and even the dust and smoke stirred up by its four hooves could not be seen clearly.

"Please……"

Master Xuanhua said to Song You.

"it is good."

Song You followed them with a stick. As he walked, he looked at Yan Zi with a smile:

"You're getting bolder."

"I, I just thought that it helped us lead the way to find water, but we haven't gotten anything in return yet..."

"That's fine."

Song You nodded, then looked at Master Xuanhua next to him, narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and asked, "Master has already thought that the drought might have nothing to do with it, right?"

"Monks are merciful and should not commit more crimes. It concerns the poor monk's practice, so naturally we need to consider it more." Master Xuanhua clasped his hands together and said in the same sincere tone, "It's just that Zhizhou found the poor monk, and it also concerns Longzhou Shazhou. Thousands of living beings have been affected by the disaster, so the practice of a poor monk is nothing."

"I see."

Song You didn't make any comments, he just led the horse forward.

Many warriors were quietly sizing him up.

……

After passing through the loess desert, Song You came to the foot of a loess mountain and the hanging wall temple.

Just looking up, his eyes widened.

This loess mountain is a common earth mountain in the area. It is tall and majestic. Even though it is neither slender nor towering into the clouds, you think it is easy to climb. But in fact, its four sides are still close to vertical, but the cliffs are vertical. The top is not a narrow mountain, but a larger slope.

The Hanging Wall Temple is not built on the top of the mountain, but on the cliff that is completely vertical to the ground.

Looking up at this time, you can see many buildings with red wooden pillars and green tile roofs on the cliff. The windows are like grilles and the railings are painted blue. However, each building only has one tile roof cornice, one carved window, and several There are only redwood pillars and a railing, each with only one side, indicating that they are not a complete building built on the cliff. The main body of the room is a cave dug out of the cliff.

The buildings and caves on these cliffs form the Hanging Wall Temple.

However, they are not concentrated, but scattered on the entire cliff, with different heights and distances.

The low one is more than ten feet above the ground, and the high one is almost on the top of the cliff.The ones that are close are several feet away from each other, and the ones that are far apart are almost at two opposite corners of the entire cliff.They are connected to each other by wooden corridors hanging on the cliff and grottoes in the cliff.

When Song You looked at it, he felt that it looked like a building in a mythical story. Coupled with the earth-yellow mountains and the complete sky, a vast and profound sense of history came to his face.

"Please!"

Master Xuanhua extended his hand to him and said.

"..."

Song You lowered his head for a moment and stepped onto the wooden corridor going up.

It is a staircase, standing on a cliff, exposed to wind and rain. It is unknown how many years ago it is. It is older than the wooden staircase in Changjing House. It has almost faded to white, but it is very comfortable to walk on it. stable.

As I walked, the wooden steps disappeared and were replaced by grottoes in the mountain.

Master Xuanhua walked at the front and led the way, leading him from the wooden stack steps into the grotto passages in the mountain. Some of them looked natural, while others had traces of artificial excavations. Most of them were very narrow, and both the passages and the steps were very narrow. Inside the mountain, only a few cave entrances let in sunlight, illuminating the khaki caves.

Sometimes there is light shooting down from the top of the head, in bunches. The air is originally clean, but when the dust rises in the cave passage, the light immediately reflects, takes shape, and scatters dazzling light.

From time to time, they walked out of the cave passage and stepped onto the wooden corridor outside. At this time, it could be seen that they were getting higher and higher.

The smell of incense began to float in the air.

Occasionally, I could vaguely hear some chanting.

Song You walked and looked at it, and was very surprised: "How many years has this temple been built?"

"Over 200 years."

"Why is it built on this cliff?"

"This is not uncommon here. I heard that Changjing also has the cultural habit of digging caves, but this cultural habit is most prosperous in the northwest." Master Xuanhua said as he walked forward, "People in the northwest like to dig caves very much. We dig caves in the mountains to make offerings to the gods, but we are just using the caves used to make offerings to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas as temples for practice.”

"It's amazing."

Song You couldn't help but say in amazement.

This trip has gained a lot of experience.
