I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 90
"Yunding Mountain, Yunding Mountain, is as high as the clouds. Unless it is sunny, the top of the mountain is always covered by clouds and mist." The store said, "Yunding Mountain has four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Don't look at it, sir. It’s the hottest time of the year, and I’m afraid I have to wear a jacket when I get to Yunding Mountain.”

"The store is drinking tea."

"Don't drink it, don't drink it, sir, how can I drink the tea bought from a small shop?"

"Is there snow on the top of the mountain?"

"There is snow in winter."

"Is it grass?"

"Long, little grass."

"That's not very high either."

"Why is it not high? How can there be a higher mountain than Yunding Mountain in Pingzhou?" The shopkeeper said, "But if the mountains that have snow all year round, the sir said, they may not be so high. But our Yunding Mountain is not something anyone can climb up.”

"Is there a way to the top of the mountain?"

"There is a way, let's see if you dare to go."

"How to say?"

"Hmph! Let's just say that throughout the year, there are countless people who come to Yunding Mountain to look for immortals, but most of them just look at the Jingdao Lake at the foot of the mountain. Well, they will come down after climbing halfway up the mountain. Going up is the deep mountains and old forests with few people, the road is difficult to walk, the beasts are ferocious, and you have to cross the cliff, how can ordinary people have the guts?" The store sneered, "It's good if one person climbs to the top every day."

"Has the shopkeeper ever been there?"

"This one……"

"How is the scenery of Jingdao Lake?"

"Okay! It's very good! But the weather must be good. If the weather is bad, it will be foggy..."

"Has anyone ever found a god on the mountain?"

"Then I've heard too much..."

The shopkeeper began to talk to him intermittently.

Song You listened quietly and did not express any opinion.

……

After living here for two days, the store finally bought beef.

Half of it was cut into slices of raw meat, and the other half was blanched in water. Song You went to buy two small fishes, one was still cooked and the other was sliced ​​raw. He also asked the store to cook a chicken to celebrate Mistress Sanhua's birthday.

The Sanhuamao is very satisfied.

At night, Song You was lying on the bed, and the three-flowered cat was still nesting at his feet. At the corner of the outer bed, the little cat couldn't help but turned to look at him, and asked:
"When is the next Liqiu?"

Song You opened his eyes, the eyes were pure darkness, he couldn't see anything, he didn't sleep and didn't think about anything, he only replied in a low voice:
"Another year."

"Another year."

"At that time, Empress Sanhua will be one year older."

"Another year older."

"Perhaps we will go to the sea in the future, and Empress Sanhua can spend a certain beginning of autumn by the sea." Song You said in a low voice, afraid of waking up the night, "Empress Sanhua will probably like it."

"I don't know what the sea is."

"It's just a very big lake. It's very big. It's bigger than all the places that Sanhua Empress has walked, and it may be bigger than all the lands combined."

Maybe it's sleepy, maybe the environment is too quiet, no matter whether it's a cat or a Taoist, the voices are very small, soft and slow, lazy and lazy, as if they have no strength, but talking like this makes people feel very quiet.

"There are more creatures in the sea than on land. The fish that can be eaten on the seaside alone may be more bugs than Mistress Sanhua has seen since she was a child. There are also shrimps that are bigger than Mistress Sanhua. Crabs as big as washbasins with huge shells..."

“Crabs have no meat!”

"Only the ones in the creek don't have meat."

"Is that all edible?"

"Most of them are edible."

"anything else?"

"The seaside is full of sand, fine, thick, and soft to step on. No matter how hard Mistress Sanhua digs, she can't dig it to the bottom. There are many small crabs in the sand. If you are lucky, you can even pick up edible shells. Fish washed up by the waves, shrimp, and other edible things."

"Is it okay to just pick it up?"

"almost."

"..."

Sanhuamao's eyes were wide open in the darkness, and there was already yearning in his expression.

Maybe tonight she will have a dream. In the dream, there will be an imaginary big lake. In the dream, there will be countless kinds of different fishes imagined. Naturally, they are different from the real sea and sea fish, but they belong to her alone tonight. The sea in her dream, the fish in her dream.

"Sleep, I'm going to Jingdao Lake tomorrow."

"Oh……"

Both the person and the cat have quieted down.

In the night here, once you can't speak, you can't hear a sound at all. It's so pure and dark.

Woke up the next day and set off early.

One hundred miles, one day's journey.

It was hot and the sun was scorching at this time. Although Song You had to put on a bamboo hat, his heart did not get hot because of it. Instead, he stared at the sun, still at his leisure, and he never slowed down his pace.The world under the scorching sun is extraordinarily bright and eye-catching. The Taoist walked with a stick, and when he reached the edge of Jingdao Lake, the sky gradually became darker and cooler, and he realized that it was dusk.

The evening wind blows, bringing with it moisture and cooling the whole body.

"Are we there yet?"

"Maybe."

Song You walked along the road by the lake.

A horse followed behind him.

Jingdao Lake at dusk may be different from the daytime, but it has a different kind of beauty, which is worthy of the praise of the store.

I saw that the lake was so wide that you couldn't see the edge, and the lake surface was as quiet as a mirror, but there were countless large and small islands. The sky had gradually turned reddish purple, and all the skylight was reflected in the water.And in the distance, some stars can be faintly seen. I don't know which elegant person it is. It's really leisurely to stay in the middle of the lake at night.

There are reeds growing all over the lake, as well as on both sides of the road. In this near autumn season, patches of reeds sprout snow-white ears, and when the evening wind blows, they all fall in one direction.

How does this look like a world?

It is clearly the world of wind.

Song You was not in a hurry to find the ferry and lodging, he just led the horse slowly, turning his head to look at the dusk and the direction of the lake while walking, not saying a word, with this picture in his eyes, but his heart went to a more open place.

Just listen to the wind, just wait for the night to fall.

"Is this the practice?"

Suddenly, he thought of what the old Taoist said.

Going forward, the sky is getting darker and darker, the sky is getting redder and redder, the mountains and the rays of the sun are all reflected in the mirror lake, and the heart is getting more and more peaceful.

I don't know when there are fireflies in the night sky.

When it was first discovered, it was only three or two o'clock, and then every minute the night fell, there were more fluorescent lights, and in a trance, they had spread all over the surrounding area, innumerable, flying freely in the darkness.

The Sanhua cat was also attracted, and ran to the front, jumping and catching it with its paws.

"Miss Sanhua, don't catch her."

"why?"

"looks nice."

"Edible."

"Please, Empress Sanhua."

"You like it very much?"

"Yes."

"Well……"

Sanhuamao was lost in thought.

"OK then."

The cat shook its head and walked back.

The sky was full of stars above my head, and fireflies danced in the night, as if the stars had fallen to the ground.I don't know whether it's the starlight or the fluorescence, I can barely see the road by the lake, walk along this road slowly, and gradually see a piece of lights gathered by the lake at the ferry.

As soon as the horse bells approached, there was the sound of water.

A middle-aged boatman came ashore from the boat, held a boat lamp to illuminate it, came to him, and raised the lamp high.

"A gentleman?"

"Yes."

"Sir, are you going to the bottom of Yunding Mountain?"

"Exactly."

"It's too late now, and we can't take the boat there until tomorrow morning." The boatman said, "But if my husband is willing to pay a little more, I can stay on the boat tonight, and I can take my husband to the middle of the lake."

"What are you doing in the middle of the lake at night?"

"Sir, I don't know that our Jingdao Lake is as smooth as a mirror. Even if there is a wind, there are very few waves. Many noble people find it amazing and like it very much. No matter in the morning or in the afternoon, there are many people renting it during the day or at night. Boating on the lake, each has its own scenery.”

"The light in the middle of the boat..."

"All!"

"Perhaps with horses?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry, there are no boats that can mount horses at the moment, we are all melon skin boats here, small black awning boats."

"Then can I rent a boat from the boatman tonight, go to the middle of the lake to sleep overnight, and come back tomorrow?"

"Yes, but where is the horse?"

"Just leave it on the shore."

"I'm afraid I'm going to lose it!"

"Not afraid."

"Although Mr. is only going to the center of the lake, you can come back tomorrow morning. This trip is also a trip. It takes an hour to go to the center of the lake. It is so late, and no one can go on the boat..." The boatman thought for a while, "Xiao It's not easy for people to bid in front of a gentleman, so let's charge him fifty cents."

"it is good."

The boatman pulled the boat over and watched helplessly as the gentleman unloaded the quilt from the back of the horse, and then spoke to the horse, asking it to wait for him by the lake overnight and graze freely. After that, it really clanked into the night, which is also miraculous.

Immediately the gentleman came aboard, and brought a cat with him.

"Let's go, boatman."

"okay!"

As soon as the oars were pushed, the boat left the shore.

Amidst the sound of the wind, there was a little more sound of water.

As soon as the night got dark, it was really hard to distinguish whether the sky was above or the sky below. In short, there were rays of light in the sky and rays of light in the lake. The stars are all crumpled.

Song You sat on the bow of the boat, while quietly blowing the night wind, admiring the scenery at night, while chatting with the boatman.

Knowing that there are gods in this lake, it is possible to keep the lake from being wrinkled by the wind and keep it as level as a mirror.I also know that there are 790 islands in the lake, most of which are very small. If you look at it during the day, you will see the thousand islands in the clear water.I also know that there are hundreds of small and large villages by the lake, and most of them believe in the frog god, because they think it is auspicious that it will be resurrected in spring and have many children and blessings.

"It's the middle of the lake."

"The boatman is working hard."

"Where where..."

Song You looked not far away.

There are other boats in the middle of the lake, some of which are still lighted, some of which have been darkened, and some of which are lit with stoves. I don’t know what they are roasting or cooking.The closest one is the busiest, with the faint sounds of pipa and flute and the sound of people carrying out drinking orders. I don't know where the romantic and famous people come from, drinking and having fun here, it's very fun.

The lake is cool and the heart is peaceful.

Gradually, all the lights on the lake were extinguished, leaving only the mirror lake reflecting the brilliance of the galaxy, the wind blows the boat, and the mirror will reflect a ripple, only then, it looks like a lake.

Song You was still sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the galaxy.

The cat crawled around him, looking around.

Whether it's a god or not, it doesn't matter if it's true.
