I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 449 The prosperous Yangdu (please ask for monthly tickets for more updates)

In Qingyun Palace.

Qing Huaizi sat cross-legged on the ground with Taoist scriptures in his hand, green smoke wafted from the copper censer on the table next to him, with a calming smell, and the faint sound of disciples chanting sutras in evening class came from the hall outside the door, The Taoist music in the palace also has a bit of the gentleness and elegance of Yangzhou, which is consistent with it and makes people calm.

Qing Huaizi did not read the Taoist scriptures, but thought about what he had learned yesterday.

Yangzhou's trade is developed, and there are merchants coming and going from everywhere. The palaces and temples are a mixed place, and there are also many merchants from Langzhou. Qing Huaizi knows it after a little inquiry.

About a month ago, at the junction of Langzhou and Yangzhou, on Jiurang Mountain, there was a grand ceremony for the God of Anle. A person took part in the ceremony with a girl. After that day, the statue of the God of Anle was broken and the temple was half destroyed, leaving only a piece in front of the temple. A monument was cut from the mountain stone to inform the villagers that the evil spirit had been eliminated.

Five of the six animals were returned to their original owners. The master who slayed the evil god only took one chicken and left without leaving his name.

Qing Huaizi couldn't help but think back to the Taoist priest a few days ago.

Although the Taoist himself did not show any extraordinary qualities, his words were gentle and polite, and his conversation was also extraordinary. In addition to the girls and young men beside him, if you think about it carefully, in fact, everything was extraordinary.

"..."

I don't know whether he is a deity from the heavenly palace or a hidden master in the mountains. I just heard that he killed the evil gods, left no name and made no profit, and only took a chicken and left. This moral character is enough to be admired.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the window.

"Pop puff..."

Qing Huaizi turned his head and looked suspiciously.

I saw a swallow flying outside the window. The swallow was a common swallow, but it was grabbing something under its feet.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a red fruit tied with a thin string, the size of an egg. An ordinary swallow would definitely not be able to fly while holding such a heavy thing, but it flew easily.

The swallow flapped its wings and stayed outside the window for a moment, looking into the room with a pair of dark eyes, scanning his face again and again, as if to confirm the person in the room, and finally flew in after a while.

"..."

Even though Qing Huaizi had already guessed in his mind, after all, he had rarely seen such a strange thing, he still couldn't help but leaned back slightly and subconsciously avoided it.

After reacting, he quickly returned to his original position.

The swallow landed on the table.

The red fruit also fell on the table, rolled around two or three times, and then stopped after stretching the thin string.

"Dare to ask..."

Qing Huaizi looked at it anxiously.

Yanzi also stared at him with open eyes, and then said the same thing, saying, "But Taoist Master Qing Huaizi?"

"Exactly!"

"We met once a few days ago. It's just that I'm just stupid, and the Taoist priest's true face is blurred in my mind. Please forgive me."

The same is giving things, Yanzi's speech is much calmer and more natural than that of Anqing back then.

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Qing Huaizi held the Taoist scriptures, looked at each other and talked with the bird. He always felt it was strange, but he was a Taoist after all, so he remained calm and asked: "What's the matter with Xiao Yanxian here?"

"It's like this. Thanks to the Taoist priest's guidance, my husband went to Xushan Mountain a few days ago. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, full of spiritual energy, and gained a lot. That day we were warmly entertained by the Taoist priest, and my husband also kept thinking about it. Taoist Master's hospitality." Yanzi said in one breath, but his tone sounded a bit like reciting words, "My husband and I will leave tomorrow. We happened to visit Xushan Mountain a few days ago and found a place with abundant spiritual energy in the mountain. I picked a few spiritual fruits from a plant, so my husband specially asked me to bring one to give the Taoist priest a taste as a token of my gratitude."

"What's so funny..."

"Since the spiritual fruit has been delivered, I didn't dare to disturb you too much, so I said goodbye to the Taoist Master."

"..."

Yanzi followed the procedure he had secretly rehearsed several times on the way here. After finishing his words, he finally did not stumble or embarrass his husband. Then he did not give Qinghuaizi a chance to reply. He just turned around and flapped his wings. Then he flew out of the window again.

Still the blue sky is vast and the wind is at ease.

Qing Huaizi stood up quickly, walked to the window, bowed her hands and watched him go away, her eyes still wide open.

"really……"

It turned out to be a swallow.

If he talks so well and behaves so politely, he must not be an ordinary mountain spirit. In addition, the Yanxian appeared that day, so he must be a descendant of the Yanxian.

Qing Huaizi watched from a distance until the little black dot completely disappeared in the sky and could not be found. Then he looked back, quickly sat back down, and picked up the red fruit on the table, carefully.

The red fruit is crystal clear and exudes a strange fragrance. When you smell it, you feel comfortable all over your body. It seems that your energy and spirit have returned to the best after a good night's sleep. When you hold it still and look carefully, it seems that the fruit is still there It exudes a faint mist, if it is there or not, it is mysterious, almost the same as what is recorded in the book.

It's almost the same as what the senior brother said.

"It really is a spiritual fruit..."

Qing Huaizi opened his eyes wide and murmured to himself.

"That..."

I just wanted to say that I had made a lot of money by exchanging a pot of tea and a plate of fruits for a natural treasure, but when I thought about it carefully, it was just mutual goodwill, and there was really no need to worry about it.I was about to say that the boy that day was indeed a descendant of An Qingyan, and that the Taoist priest was probably a god, but seeing his character today, it seemed that it didn't matter whether he was a god or not.

Qing Huaizi thought about it and felt that the more it tasted, the more fragrant it became. He simply took the fruit on his sleeve and rubbed it before putting it into his mouth.

The spirit fruit is refreshing, as light as water in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste. …

One man, one cat and one horse, walking along the official road.

Swallows were flying left and right in the sky.

Song You did not take the water route, but he almost walked along the Qingnv River. You can see the river water most of the time, which is good, at least it is convenient to get water.

From here, go east, directly to Yangdu.

There is a God of Paradise in Yangdu, who is the only one among the five earth gods who is sealed in a town.

However, Song You did not go directly to Yangdu. Instead, he first walked along the Qingnu River and then along the Duoliu River. He made a half circle around Yangzhou and first visited the God of An Yi in the south and then the God of Peace in the east.

The God of An Yi in the south kept to himself. While he was working diligently to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the Imperial Master, he neither showed up at will to scare the local people, nor took incense, nor did he devour it directly like the God of An Le in Jiu Rang Mountain. Living people also require human beings to be sacrificed to him.Therefore, although the Imperial Preceptor was well prepared and sent a folk expert, he only asked the folk expert to investigate and supervise. When it was discovered that the God of An Yi had indeed not overstepped his bounds, he simply deposed him and Didn't kill him.

The God of Peace in the east is the most irritable, and his excessive behavior is even greater than that of the God of Peace in Jiulang Mountain.

When the Song Dynasty traveled to the place, the local gentry and powerful people were still plundering the people's fat and anointing to offer to the God of Peace. They also collected beautiful women from everywhere to offer them to the God of Peace as wives and concubines.

But in fact, after several visits and investigations, Song You discovered that more than a year ago, the Imperial Master invited an old Taoist priest from Zhenshan to come forward, and he had already killed the God of Peace. Now there was a commotion in several counties in the eastern part of Yangzhou. The so-called God of Peace, who has made the people of the land panic and even the local officials dare to be angry but dare not speak out, is actually nothing more than the evil of the human heart and its endless desires.

Naturally, he was handed over to the county magistrate for punishment.

By the time we reached Yangdu, it was already winter.

The Taoist had already put on thick clothes, led a bay-red horse, and slowly approached this prosperous city in the world.

In an ordinary city, whether it is a county or a state, if you want to appreciate the prosperity of the city, you must first see the city wall. After entering the city gate, you can see the bustling streets.

Even Yidu is like this.

But Yangdu is the same as Changjing.Just approaching Yangdu, before entering the city, you can already see the countryside spread out, and the official roads are lined with shops, restaurants, carriage shops and warehouses of freight merchants.The official road is almost built next to the river, and the boats on both sides of the river are constantly coming and going, and there are also a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians on both sides of the official road. People often stop to eat, drink, sleep and rest on the side of the road.

The steam from steaming noodles and boiling soup cakes is really conspicuous in winter. As soon as you open the lid of the pot, it can rise up to the sky, and it seems to turn into sky clouds after several consecutive ones.

The wine flags were waving in the cold wind, and the sound of wine was accompanied by the chatter, shouts and laughter of the guests in the store below. Before entering Yangdu, the excitement was already greater than most cities along the way.

The scenery of the market town outside the city stretches for more than ten miles.

Even Song You couldn't help but feel hungry and stopped to eat a bowl of hot acorn noodles before continuing along the official road.

The Yangdu City Wall finally appeared in front of us.

"Yangdu..."

Song You stopped and raised his head, muttering to himself.

The cat also raised its head, also staring at the top of the city wall.

Show the ultimatum and enter the city smoothly.

There are even more merchants gathering in the city, with thousands of businesses gathered together, the spring breeze is ten miles away, and the city is as prosperous as a dream.

"Meow..."

"Yes."

Compared to the Imperial Capital of Changjing, Yangdu did not have so many worries at the feet of the emperor. It could be more public and more like a consumer city - Yangdu was not close to Changjing, but it had developed and convenient waterways. Since the founding of the dynasty, Yangdu There have always been many dignitaries and literati who came here and played wildly for a while before leaving. Some even stayed in the brothel all day long until they spent all their money.

Song You watched as he walked.

There are thousands of brothels and countless painted bridges, but it is a pity that it is winter and the willow branches along the river have not yet sprouted, otherwise the scenery should be picturesque.

"Meow?"

The sound of my own cat sounded at my feet.

Song You looked down at the non-stop walking, and replied as if talking to himself: "Let's find an inn to live in first..."

"Miaan?"

"There is no way. We are new here, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know where to stay." The Taoist said as he walked, leaning on his bamboo stick, and was not afraid of the strange looks from passers-by. "So we can only find an inn to stay in first. In a few days, I will visit Yangdu, and then I will rent a house from Fang Yazi. It will be more convenient to cook by myself. The food here is not to the taste of Empress Sanhua even if she eats it."

"Meow?"

"Ms. Sanhua still earns a lot of money."

"Meow!"

"Although honey is valuable, we don't have much left, so let's leave it to Sanhua Empress to soak it in water and drink it."

"Well……"

The cat lowered his head and continued to follow the Taoist with small steps, avoiding the feet of passersby nimbly. At the same time, he twisted his head and took in the city with a pair of amber eyes.
