I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 623 Looking for the dragon on the terraces
As everyone climbed higher and higher, signs of human habitation gradually appeared on the mountain.

At first, there were a few wooden houses and huts, either standing on the top of the mountain or hidden in the woods. According to the middle-aged man surnamed Liu, most of them were hermits who lived and practiced in the mountains. Some people come to the mountains to escape from the world because they are tired of the earthly life and come to the mountains to live a life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains. Some people come here to practice purely because the mountains are full of spiritual energy and have wonderful sights and images of heaven and earth. I just want to find a quiet place to study Taoism, Buddhism or other knowledge.

There are also those who have no farm or house at the foot of the mountain and have to pay taxes, so their life is miserable, or they can't survive because of other things, such as murder and arson, and they are forced to hide in a remote mountain where no one has visited.

Others are because this place is famous, and the whole Yunzhou knows that there are many hermits here, and many hermits are talented and learned, so they come here to use the reputation here to whitewash themselves.

There are many hermits, a mixture of good and bad, including some who are truly talented and learned, some who are mediocre and stupid, and those who have done evil. There are all kinds of people, and the reasons for coming here are also varied.

Where there are wooden houses and huts, there are fields.

At first, there were a few scattered fields, mostly in front of and behind the houses. As we went higher, the fields became connected on the steep mountain.

The mountains here are really big and really high, but except for the nearly vertical cliffs, the rest of the land has been reclaimed. Along the mountain, layer by layer, there are fields where the slope of the mountain is slightly gentle. It is wider, and the fields are narrower where it is slightly steeper, like a ladder built for the gods, leading to the top of the mountain.

Song You followed the middle-aged man surnamed Liu and walked up slowly, leaning towards the mountain road in front of him.

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu is in poor physical condition, especially when walking on such a steep mountain road. He often becomes exhausted before walking very far. He stops and rests with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath. A large amount of sweat drips from his face. On the mountain road, the long sword on his waist was originally just a decoration, but now it became a burden. The others all stopped and waited for him.

The Taoist was not in a hurry. Every time this happened, he stood up straight and looked around, taking in the increasingly shocking scene.

The movements of the cat at his feet were almost exactly the same as his.

At some point, the number of terraces increased, from one to several, covering half of the mountain, and then covering the entire mountain, covering all the mountains within sight, so that even the edges of the ridges of the distant mountains no longer existed. It was smooth and turned into the jagged shape of a ladder.

The majestic and continuous mountains have been artificially carved into different outlines. Their scale and majesty are really shocking.

Especially in this season, the autumn harvest has been harvested but the spring plowing has not yet been done. All the terraces are storing water in preparation for the next year's farming. These terraced fields storing water have become mirrors inlaid with the continuous mountains, reflecting the blue sky. It has also become blue, reflecting the white clouds, and has more colors. Sometimes it also reflects the trees beside the fields, and reflects the farmers walking on the field ridges holding buffaloes and wearing bamboo hats. In addition to being spectacular, it also seems to be delicate and imposing. There is a touch of tenderness underneath.

This is a masterpiece of generations of people in the mountains. It is a history book of the struggle of farming civilization to harmonious coexistence in a harsh natural environment. It is an art created by man and nature. It can better illustrate the greatness of human civilization than the magnificent palaces.

The group of people standing among them are actually very small. From a distance, they are just a few small dots in this magnificent picture.

The wind blew and stirred up the Taoist's clothes.

"Front……"

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu bent over and pointed to a very high mountain in front of him: "Climb that mountain and walk a little further, and you will see the dam tree."

"Um……"

The Taoist looked away from a distance.

The cat, which was standing like a human and looking around, also looked away from a distance.

As if aware of each other, the Taoist and she looked at each other at the same time and glanced at each other.

The Taoist couldn't help but reveal a smile——

I don't know when, but the cat who didn't understand why people always like to climb mountains and what the scenery on the mountain is, also learned to see the scenery.

But I don't know what the cat is thinking at this time.

"Let's keep going. It's really a drag on Mr. Liu." The middle-aged man surnamed Liu said as he walked. "When we get to Bashu, Liu will go with Shi Gong and three young brothers to collect silk. Mr. Liu can go around if he wants. You can go with us. However, since you are here to look for dragons, you will miss the real dragon style. It is best to find a shelter from the wind and rain in Ba Shu. If you see a hermit in the mountains, it is best to stay there. Well, if you can’t find it, Liu can also find a villager’s house for your husband. Although it’s not that elegant, it’s still a place to live.”

Because he was too tired, he sighed as he spoke.

"As for Mr. Liu, if Mr. Liu can invite us to go with him and explain it to us, he has already helped us a lot. How dare we bother Mr. Liu?" Song You said sincerely, "I don't dare to delay Mr. Liu's important business, so please invite me." Mr. Liu can go about his business as much as he likes, and we can just find a place to camp in Ba Shu."

"Sleeping in the open? How can that be done? Even though the sun is hot here during the day, it is very cold at night. Moreover, the fog in the mountains is very heavy every morning, so it is not suitable for sleeping outdoors."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. We have never encountered any harsh environment since we traveled around the world. We are already used to sleeping in the open."

"Since we are sleeping outdoors, we have to find the best viewing position. We must go with my husband first and find a good place. Remember, the real dragon usually rises in the early morning. Liu comes to look for it every morning before dawn. Sir, let’s wait for the real dragon together, and then go to the village to collect silk during the day.”

"That's it."

The Taoist followed him up the mountain.

With large tracts of terraced fields, there are naturally villages. Most of them are hidden in the forest. They are ancient and simple earthen huts and huts, but they are different from the houses at the bottom of the mountain - most of the houses here are short and small, and almost all of them are small. It is an earthen wall with a thick thatch covering the top. The buildings form courtyards, and the courtyards form villages, like countless mushrooms growing in the mountains.

As they were walking, Mao'er suddenly stopped, as if sensing something, he looked at the luggage on the horse's back, and then at the Taoist.

The Taoist looked at her and said nothing.

But he naturally felt it——

The auras in all directions in the luggage have changed.

The last spiritual charm is indeed in this mountain.

"South of Yunzhou..."

There are many mountains in the south of Yunzhou. I have never heard of many unique and strange places. I have visited a lot of places along the way. The aura of the four directions has not changed. Now that I am here, it is an unexpected gift. Got Songyou prompt.

On the last side, the five elements should be the main wood.

However, although the aura in this mountain is rich and the aura is unique, it is not so unique that it feels like another aura was born here.

The Taoist continued to move forward with doubts.

Before dusk, we finally climbed up the mountain.

When we reached the top of the mountain, our eyes suddenly opened up.

This is the highest mountain in this large mountain. All the terraces are at the foot, and the perspective has changed to a bird's eye view. You can feel the steepness of the mountain more clearly and objectively, and you are even more amazed at the fields cultivated in this large mountain. How difficult it is.

Looking around, although the scenery is not as exquisite as the one in the painting and walking on the ridges of the fields, nor is it the comfortable feeling of the breeze blowing and the reflection of the terraces, what you see is all terraced fields, filling the whole world. Mountains and seas, almost surging forward, impacting people's eyes.

"It's spectacular."

"Isn't that right..." "But the village is on the top of the mountain and the terraces are in the mountains. It's not easy for the villagers to go out to work and go up and down the mountain, right?"

"There are also villages in the mountains." The middle-aged man surnamed Liu wiped his sweat, "But it is not easy. Farmers make a living by farming. How many of them are easy?"

"rational……"

"This is the dam tree. Sir, face the east and walk forward until you reach the edge of the cliff. There is no way to go. When you see a piece of accumulated white clouds, it is the land of dragons." The middle-aged man surnamed Liu said as he walked. , "I'll take my husband to find a good place."

The walk to the top of the mountain was actually easier.

The middle-aged man was very tired, but he did not give up, but still led him forward.

Not long after, we reached the edge of the cliff.

Song You and others came here from the west side of Bashu. The slope here is gentle, but they also climbed one mountain after another, each layer higher than the previous one. They came here only then, but the east side is full of mountains. The extremely steep cliffs are really like the mountains breaking here - looking down from the top of the mountain, the first ten feet are still slightly tilted. The hard-working and tenacious mountain people have also cultivated fields here, but after more than ten feet , that is, almost vertically downward. Only a few stubborn plants and trees can grow on the cliff, but no one can get down.

The terraced fields also ended abruptly after more than ten feet.

"Sir, have you seen the field below? We come here every spring to wait for the wonders of the real dragon. We wait here, and some wait on the top of the mountain. Some hermits even invite three or five friends to gather together and wait. While drinking and having fun, I like to wait below, where the white clouds are closer."

Song You lowered his head and looked down.

As the middle-aged man surnamed Liu said, I don’t know how deep below the cliff there are rolling clouds and mist, which looks like a sea or a pond.

There is also a sea of ​​rolling clouds in the distance.

But it's not just the high mountain at the foot, there are also a series of mountains in the distance. Although the height is slightly lower than that of the dam tree, it is not much different. The mountain is shrouded in billowing white clouds, and only the top of the mountain peeks out from the vast sea of ​​clouds. Make a circle and connect at the far end of the line of sight.

There are cliffs in the inner part of the mountains, surrounding such a huge Baiyun Pond.

No wonder some people say it goes straight to the center of the earth.

Song Youguang stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it. Even though his sight was blocked by white clouds, he still had a feeling that it was unfathomable and had no bottom.

"Mr. Liu, please look to the left. Next to the terraced fields, there is a tree with an open space under the tree."

Song You pointed to a place in the distance and said to the middle-aged man surnamed Liu: "We will sleep there tonight. Mr. Liu is already tired from climbing and has business to do, so there is no need to follow him down, so as not to have to climb up later. Remember this place is.”

"Well, let's go to the nearby villages first and come back here tomorrow morning to look for Mr."

"Tomorrow morning..."

Song You stood up straight and looked around in the distance, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds, the surrounding mountains on the sea of ​​clouds, and the bottomless white cloud pool.

The aura of this place is becoming more and more intense, and there is some special feeling in the aura, which seems to indicate that there is indeed a remarkable existence that has appeared below. However, I still have no feeling that I am looking for the last one of the five auras.

"The scenery here is very good. There are still a few days left before spring. We plan to walk around and see the scenery first. We will probably also go to the distant mountains to see if this circle of mountains can be connected. Walk from one end and back from the other. When you come back, come here and wait." Song You hesitated for a moment, "If Mr. Liu is busy with something, please come back here to look for us in two or three days."

"Sir, are you going to go around the mountain?"

"Exactly."

"That's far away..."

"We've come a long way."

"Then please be careful, sir." The middle-aged man surnamed Liu shook hands with him, "In three days, Liu's silk will probably be collected, so I'll see you in three days."

"See you in three days."

Both parties saluted each other and said goodbye.

Immediately, the middle-aged man surnamed Liu and the old man led three young people carrying bamboo poles on their backs and turned back and walked into the village in the forest. The Taoist watched them for a moment, then set forward and carefully walked down the field path. , the bay red horse and calico cat followed behind, and the sound of bells echoed among the white clouds.

With no one else around, the calico cat could finally speak. Its first sentence was to point to the terraced fields and say to the Taoist:

"Taoist, look, Sanhua Empress's mountain god can just go down these ladders!"

"..."

The Taoist smiled and kept walking: "Ms. Sanhua, please don't invite the mountain god to come out and destroy such a good terraced field."

"Miss Sanhua knows it. If you trample on people, you won't be able to plant crops." The calico cat trotted along the path. "If people can't plant crops, and they can't catch mice, they will starve to death."

"Mistress Sanhua is smart."

Before you know it, it's dusk, the sun sets from the mountains behind, the world becomes dark, the whole sky turns orange-pink, and the horizon shows dreamlike colors. Taoist priests lead maroon horses to the mountain terraces. Walking down, because the field ridge is too narrow, it is a bit difficult for one person and one horse to walk.

In comparison, the cat was extremely calm and walked forward with small steps.

"Swoosh..."

There are swallows flying across the sky again.

The terraces filled with water are broken mirrors in the mountains. They naturally reflect the dusk skylight, the clouds in the sky, the dead trees growing beside the terraces, and the Taoist group who came to this world. leaving traces of their visit.

The group didn't stop until they reached the foot of the tree.

Not far ahead is a cliff, and you can still see deep white clouds at dusk. The Taoist unloaded his horse's luggage and sat cross-legged on the ground. He did not close his eyes to practice, but straightened his upper body. He sat calmly, his eyes were calm, and his eyes gradually dimmed. The falling sky and the rolling clouds below.

The cat sat beside him solemnly, with strange eyes.

There is also practice among mountains and rivers...

Faintly, she seemed to have some understanding of this sentence.
