I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 31 Temple Fair
The oil lamp in the room was shaking, and the wick was scorched red.

Mistress Sanhua was walking on the wooden table, she didn't know what she was walking for, she suddenly sat down at the edge of the table, her tail naturally wrapped around her little feet, and said to Song You:
"Taoist, it was so cold when you practiced today."

Song You was not surprised either, the kitten always wanted to do something, do whatever it wanted, say whatever it wanted, and replied in a low voice: "Because what it absorbs is the aura of Dongzang, which is calm. "

"what is that?"

"It's a long story."

"Well……"

The Sanhua cat lowered its head and licked its body, it didn't intend to listen, it just said: "Miss Sanhua just needs to breathe out by herself."

"It can't compare to Empress Sanhua."

"Can you fix this quickly?"

"Some people are fast and some are slow. Even me, sometimes I am fast and sometimes slow." Song You said, "Before I was in the Taoist temple, my practice was quite satisfactory. After I went down the mountain, the world opened up, and I made thousands of miles with each passing day."

"why?"

"It's mysterious. But Empress Sanhua is a demon and not a human being, so she doesn't need to learn these things, just breathe out as usual."

"understood."

Song You smiled.

Maybe it's two lives, maybe it's some other reason, he has become less and less fond of complicated things, and more and more like simple things.Although the priests in Fuqing Palace are very friendly, he still finds it easier and more fun to talk to Mistress Sanhua.Even if the words are not nutritious.

"Mistress Sanhua."

"Ok?"

The three-flowered cat was licking its fur, and immediately raised its head when it heard this.

"How about we go back the day after tomorrow?"

"You can decide."

"Since I and I are traveling together, I still need to discuss such a big matter with Empress Sanhua."

"the day after tomorrow……"

"Yes."

"Well……"

Sanhuamao stared at Song You for a long time before saying, "You don't seem to like them very much."

"Why do you say that?"

"Meat is eaten here every day, you don't like it here."

"It's just that playing with them is not as interesting as being with Empress Sanhua." Song You shook his head, "Besides, you can't eat their meat every day."

"right."

"How about it?"

"Then we'll go back tomorrow!"

Sanhuamao spoke out immediately, very decisively.

"That's not good either."

"why?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to help someone answer questions about Taoism. This is the reward for entertaining us for a few days."

"right……"

Sanhuamao is thoughtful.

"Go to sleep."

Song You blew out the oil lamp, and scattered the lamp flowers like stars.

In the early morning of the next day, Izumo and Yingfeng came to look for Song You again, and tried their best to treat him well, but after all, they didn't have the fate they had decades ago. It's not that it's bad to get along so forcefully, it's just that it's hard to get married in a short time The friendship as it was decades ago.

Song You only solved the problems for the priests, and at night he expressed to Guanghuazi his intention to return tomorrow.

Even if everyone asked him to stay, he would not waver.

On the contrary, Izumo and Yingfeng admired him very much, and they probably regarded him as a fairy in the world in their hearts. They wanted to follow him and travel around the world with him, but he only said that they had no destiny.

Another day later, Song You went down the mountain in the dark early in the morning.

The bright moon shines on me, and I only walk with the cat.

From early morning to dusk, it was not far from Yidu when the sun went down. Song You thought for a while, it was already winter, and it was cold at night, so it was better to take advantage of the moonlight to take another walk, so he walked back to Yidu in one breath.Coincidentally, he entered the city just before the city gate was closed at night.As soon as he returned to the courtyard, the little song played, and his heart felt peaceful.

……

The weather in Yidu is getting colder and colder.

Song You is also very leisurely every day. Apart from going to Wazi to listen to books, most of the time he spends most of his time warming up at home, practicing meditation, chatting with cats, living a life where the firewood is soft and warm, and Linu and I don't go out.

Occasionally, someone would come here to ask for a paper talisman, or a consecrated amulet or something.Song You didn't have the consecrated object, but the talisman was just a matter of drawing a stroke. He was responsive, and he could exchange some money to buy meat for Empress Sanhua.

Sometimes I also go out for a walk, to see Yidu City in winter, to see people looking for life in the cold, walking in a hurry in single clothes, and seeing the veils come off cleanly as soon as the weather is cold and prosperous, but I have gained a lot.

The yellow plum blossoms in the courtyard gradually sprouted flower buds.

Song You often watched it under the tree, not knowing when it would open, but he could already smell its fragrance when he got close and sniffed lightly.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

There was another knock on the door in the courtyard.

Song You opened the door and saw Luo Butou outside.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Luo Tuotou was still wearing a suit of soap and soap boots, but the inside was thicker, his cheeks were flushed by the wind, and he was holding a small fish in his hand, and his gills were strung with vines:
"Meet sir."

"Isn't the class leader cold?"

"People who practice martial arts, they keep moving around, and they are not cold."

"Please come in quickly."

Luo Butou followed Song You into the yard, and closed the door behind his back. He was already very familiar with it, and said as he walked, "My wife and brother are idle and have recently become obsessed with fishing. I went fishing for a long time today, and it was so cold when I came back. Playing a game, but only caught such a small fish, not as wide as two fingers, how dare you say that we can make soup after bringing it back, haha, I might as well bring it to Empress Sanhua."

"You have a heart."

"Mistress Sanhua..."

Luo Tutou said that he took down the river rattan, and did not throw the small fish on the ground, but put it on a clean stone table.

Originally, when he came to visit his husband in the small courtyard, he would not bring gifts for Empress Sanhua, but only something for him. But one day, he came to ask his husband about the nightmare ghost, and suddenly he saw that there was an extra person in the courtyard. A little girl carved in powder and jade, but he had never seen a girl with his husband before.After that, I came several times, sometimes I could see cats, sometimes I could see girls, but when I saw cats, I couldn’t see girls, and when I saw girls, I couldn’t see Sanhua Empress. As soon as Shen Yun moved, he gradually understood what was going on.

I have been a headhunter in Yidu for many years, and I have encountered many things about monsters and ghosts, and I have also dealt with cases of animals turning into spirits.To be honest, it’s not that mysterious. These beasts are just smarter because they are more intelligent. Being able to speak human words is already very scary. They don’t have the ability to transform into human form in the story. When he was cut, he begged for mercy in various ways.

This is the first time he has seen a monster that can transform into form.

Luo Butou was surprised for a moment, but also took it for granted.

What surprised me was that there was actually a demon in form opposite my house, and I hadn't noticed it for so long.But after thinking about it, it seemed quite normal for her to appear beside such an expert as Mr.

In which story does the tall man not have a boy and girl who is not a mortal and has become a fine mount?
Of course the sir should have one too.

From then on, every time he came here, he would bring some gifts to Empress Sanhua, and Empress Sanhua would keep his house free of rats and food and rice.

Seeing that the three-flowered cat had already started eating, Luo Tutou looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said to Song You: "Sir, in a few days it will be the temple fair of Yuewang Temple."

"How many days?"

"Three days later, the third day of junior high school."

"what……"

Only then did Song You realize that it was already the twelfth lunar month.

"Many people have already arrived at the Yuewang Temple, but it will be the busiest after the third year of junior high." Luo Tutou said, "What do you want to buy, sir? This temple market is full of fish and dragons, but I need to be a gentleman for you." A guide? There are still a group of people under my command, who can be coolies for Mister."

"Let's see when the time comes."

"Sir, if you need anything, just knock on the door."

"Then thank the team leader first."

"You're welcome, sir."

After chatting for a while, they sent Luo Butou away.

Song You had a smile on his face.

Temple fairs are also called temple fairs. The reason is that religious people gather, especially on major festivals or special religious festivals. There will be a large number of believers gathered here. Where there are people, there will be business. Demand, so some people began to set up stalls at temple fairs to promote sales.More and more merchants gathered, and more and more customers came, forming a virtuous circle. Later, the temple fair was no longer limited to pilgrims, but became a large shopping festival and the most lively festival of the year. one.

Temple fairs are actually big and small.

People from nearby villages or the same county would come to a small temple fair, but a large temple fair would be a big deal, and the most exaggerated, the influence could radiate to several states.It is hard for future generations to imagine that some people spend half a month traveling thousands of miles just to enjoy a stick of incense, spend a few days at the temple fair, and then spend half a month going back.

During this period, some people can increase their knowledge, some people can make a lot of money, some people can meet lifelong friends, some people can meet beautiful women or husbands, and some people come and go alone, and their money is stolen.

The temple fair of Yuewang Temple is the most influential temple fair in Yizhou. Although it can't radiate several states, people will come from remote places in the middle of the state, and some tricksters and merchants from outside the state will also come.

The reason why it is set on the third day of the twelfth lunar month is because the third day of the twelfth lunar month is the rumored birthday of Zhongyue Wang Shenjun.Temple fairs of this scale are no longer limited to the Yuewang Temple, they just start at this time, and usually end a few days later to complete this grand ceremony.

Song You has been looking forward to this temple fair for a long time.

I went out for a walk and looked around, and sure enough, as Luo Butou said, many merchants and tricksters have arrived in Yidu today, and they gathered in the streets and alleys near Yuewang Temple, chaotic, very lively.

Mistress Sanhua could see the excitement on his face, but she was a little puzzled by it:
"Taoist, is the temple fair fun?"

"do not know."

Song You answered in this way, and added:

"Hopefully interesting."

"You seem to like temple fairs very much."

"It's very lively." Song You said to Sanhuamao, "Miss Sanhua, have you ever seen a lively scene?"

"This city is very lively."

"Do not……"

Song You shook his head. No matter how large the population of Dayan is, and no matter how prosperous Yidu City is, it is limited by this era. Maybe the residents in the city are not as many as the people who gather under the landmark buildings of the provincial capital during New Year's Eve in later generations, and maybe not as many as the Golden Week The number of tourists received by popular tourist attractions in a day, only this temple fair is really lively.

It was the greatest human fireworks of this era.

It can also be compared to the excitement of later generations.

Song You's eyes flickered, but he didn't explain to Empress Sanhua, but said: "There are many things that you don't usually see at the temple fair, such as strange people who can perform tricks, exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals, we can not only see them After a few days of excitement, you can still buy a lot of delicious food, um, buy a horse mule."

"Buy a horse?"

"Yes."

"Us? Buy a horse?"

"what happened?"

"Shall we buy horses?"

"Buy a horse, maybe a mule." Song You said to her, "I'll be able to travel around the world in the future."

"it is good!!"

Empress Sanhua's eyes are shining.

Song You stared at her again and again, a little puzzled.

The cat seemed extra excited.
