I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Dong Zhi leaned against the edge of the bowl and took a mouthful of mush.

The military rations, rice cakes are mushy, and the taste is really mediocre, not comparable to rice porridge or millet porridge, but Dong Zhi hasn't eaten hot and serious food for a long time, and there are shredded rabbit meat and this piece of meat in the paste. The wild vegetables that grow in the woods actually contain salt, and when I eat them, I feel moved.

It seems to be some kind of delicious food.

It started to feel like a hallucination again.

"Sir... Since you are from Yizhou, why did you come here?" Dong Zhi quietly glanced at Song You.

"Traveling down the mountain, I have traveled the world without a fixed place. As for why I came here..." Song You smiled at him, "I am just like my step, I came to find the demeanor of this sacred bird of Yuezhou."

"Then when will you leave, sir?"

"Take a rest overnight and leave tomorrow morning." Song You said to him, "It's only a few dozen miles away from this green tung forest. You can go out tomorrow morning."

"Dozens of miles away..."

Dong Zhi couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Tens of miles away, it seems not far away, but he has already trapped himself here.

"Since I came here through Gwangju, if I want to go back and forth, I will go back through Gwangju. In this case, after I go out, I should go south. After I go out, I will go east to Zhaozhou. I will go from Zhaozhou after the spring of next year. From Hanzhou to Hanzhou." Song You said to him, "Take your feet out tomorrow morning."

"go out……"

Dong Zhi shook his head again.

I'm afraid that the next sentence is that the Taoist coaxed him to sleep, and when he was about to fall asleep or wake up, he found himself still lying in the miasma of the forest, curled up into a ball, already unconscious from the cold, let alone people around him The fire and the glutinous rice cakes are a mess, even the deer that has become a spirit, and the green paulownia tree that has sheltered from the wind.

Fortunately, the Taoist didn't say that, but told him to eat slowly, and continued to chat with him.

I asked him if it was better to go to Yuezhou via Guangzhou than via Zhaozhou. He asked him how the situation in Hanzhou was like, what scenic spots, myths and legends there were, and what places were worth visiting in the world. Over half of Yuezhou, have you encountered any ghosts and ghosts, how many people you have met, and chatted happily.

Finally, a bowl of glutinous rice was eaten.

Dong Zhi felt his body warm and relieved, but also had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, and his heart tightened.

Sure enough, he only heard the Taoist opposite say to him:

"Your feet have suffered from cold and hunger, your body has long been exhausted, and you have been invaded by miasma. Now that you have drank some warm water and food, even if you wake up, you should not be too tired. If you don't take a good rest, you will die I'm afraid there will be a lifetime of sequelae after this place, so let's sleep for now. When tomorrow morning, we will naturally wake up your step and take you out, please rest assured."

When Dong Zhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Come, come, finally come, this scene, including the conversation at this time, is so familiar.

Only then did I remember——

Yes, there is a miasma here, without the help of a magic talisman, it will make people dizzy, skin ulcers and mouth sores, I didn't realize it, I woke up until now, I have been refreshed, it seems that the miasma lingering around is just Just ordinary fog.

"I suffered..."

I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up from this sleep, or if I wake up, I will go back again.

I really don't want to sleep...

But for some reason, it seems that after eating and drinking, the body warms up, and naturally feels a little sleepy, and it seems that, as the Taoist said, I was really exhausted by the hunger, cold and miasma, and I didn’t feel it just now. At this time, as soon as the Taoist reminded me, all the fatigue came out. Or this Taoist has a calm tone and a gentle expression, like a god who descended from the earth, sympathizing with the suffering of the world, coupled with the burning fire in front of him and the dry thin blanket wrapped around his body, it naturally makes people feel at ease and sleepy.

In short, Dong Zhi only felt a burst of drowsiness, his eyelids were clenched, although he didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't stand it anymore, before he gave orders, his body fell to the side by himself.

I just had time to open my eyes and look in front of me.

The Taoist’s expression remained the same, gentle and calm, and the little girl was also sitting obediently beside the Taoist, staring at him curiously, the horse was chewing something next to it, and the swallow was sitting on its back, also looking at her.

Dong Zhi narrowed his eyes and fell asleep.

To fall asleep like this is to lose the slightest bit of consciousness.

It's not like ordinary sleep, there are still some thoughts left, knowing that I have slept for a while, and if I am more awake, I can also know whether I have slept for a long time or a short time, but Dong Zhi doesn't have it at this time, and he doesn't even know that he sleeps for a while. Suddenly, this period of time seemed to be lost.

As if it wasn't overnight.

Just close your eyes and open them again.

"ah!!"

Dong Zhi was almost awakened.

When I woke up, I found that the sky was already bright, and the miasma still filled the surroundings. The towering and huge green paulownia trees were like giant pillars supporting the sky, piercing into the depths of the clouds and mist, not like the mortal world, but like the ancient demon world.

Dong Zhi checked his surroundings for the first time, and found that he was still wrapped in a thin blanket, and the fire in front of him had only a pile of cinders left. The bay red horse without a rein was standing not far from last night, and his mouth was still twitching. He was chewing something, and the Taoist and the girl were still sitting beside him, seeming to have packed up their things, and were staring at him.

"this……"

Dong Zhi made up his mind, and got up quickly, with a dazed expression.

"Are you awake?"

"woke up……"

"Feeling good?"

"good……"

"In that case, let's go."

"oh……"

Dong Zhi is almost completely helpless, as long as he says what he says, he will follow.

So he got up, before the blanket was put away, the little girl took the blanket, folded it and stuffed it into the quilt bag, waited for the Taoist to put the quilt bag on the horse's back, and set off.

Dong Zhi followed and the little girl handed him a handful of glutinous rice cakes and a piece of rabbit meat. With small hands, the glutinous glutinous rice cakes were only a small handful, and it was breakfast this morning.

Dong Zhi staggered and ate while walking.

The little girl sometimes climbed on the horse's back, sometimes got off and followed, sometimes broke a stick to weed grass everywhere, and sometimes took out a dagger to poke here and there, looking very naughty and lively, while the swallows flew in front of her. They lead the way, chatting conscientiously, soaring into the sky from time to time, and flying back after a while.

The bay red horse followed obediently and obediently.

The Taoist walks with a stick and doesn't speak much.

The barking of a bear on the road frightened Dong Zhi quite a bit, but the little girl only waved the flag and summoned a dozen big wolves, who were chased away before they saw the bear.

The Taoist and the little girl laughed and said:

"Unconsciously, Empress Sanhua is also a big monster who can fight Xionghu."

A three-flower empress.

A big monster.

Dong Zhi was deeply impressed.

It's just that they never showed any malice, and Dong Zhi really had no choice but to follow them all the time.

That morning, around noon, he had already walked out of the Qingtong Forest. However, after walking for a long time, in the middle of the afternoon, the group of people walked out of the miasma-shrouded area.

There is still snow all over the ground, and the whole world has become white. There are a few trees growing on the side, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but what grow on the trees are not leaves, but crystal white ice crystals, like ice and snow. The world in this world is already clear and bright, but when I turn around and look back, it is thick and foggy.

Dong Zhi's expression was dull, as if he had just walked out of an ancient world and returned to reality.

It was also at this time that the Taoist stopped.

The Taoist pointed to the south and turned to look at him:

"There is no longer miasma here. If you want to go from Gwangju, you have to go south. You have the ability to survive in the wild. If we don't go along the way, we won't send more."

"me……"

Dong Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed forward, as if he couldn't believe it: "Can I go back?"

"yes."

The Taoist smiled and nodded to him: "But there is still a long way to go, I just hope the journey will be smooth and be careful."

"this……"

"please."

Dong Zhi stumbled and took a few steps.

I remembered that I was trapped in the green tung forest a few days ago, the miasma was heavy, and the clouds covered my eyes. The scene of the world, and looking at the clear and clean world in the snow, it is inevitable to feel like a dream.

He raised his hand and touched his face. He wanted to wake up, but suddenly found that the sores on his face and the blisters on the corners of his mouth had disappeared, and his face was clean to the touch. I wiped my mouth again, and there was no tingling sensation.

It's more like a dream.

Dong Zhi turned around involuntarily.

I walked out of a series of fragmentary footprints in the snow. At the other end of the footprints was a huge tree. The tree was full of rime like snow, ice and crystal. It was extremely beautiful. The whole world was covered in silver. That Taoist Holding the little girl with a cane in one hand and looking at him calmly, the bay red horse beside him is the most conspicuous color in the snow, and the swallow has landed on the tree, and is also looking down at him.

"..."

Dong Zhi couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Yesterday, I heard from this Taoist that I was afraid that I would not know if it was an illusion or a dream until I returned to Hanzhou. The dream, I am afraid that I really have to wait until I go to Guangzhou, enter the city, see people, or even go back to Hanzhou to meet familiar people before I can be sure that this is not a dream.

If it wasn't a dream, it must have met a fairy.

It was as if I had told those stories for half my life.

Dong Zhi stumbled and went further and further away.

The Taoist still stood there, watching him, until he had turned into a small black spot, and the footprints on the ground spread far away, and he couldn't see him, then he looked away.

At this time, he suddenly felt something, so he turned his head and looked behind him——

The miasma grows from the mountains and forests, and it also covers the mountains, but there is a deer in the miasma.

The deer didn't move away, and looked up at him.

Song You was a little puzzled, and bowed to him:

"What's the matter with your step?"

The deer was not as big as a sheep. It raised its head and looked at him. After a while, it uttered human words in a clear and ethereal voice:

"I heard that there is a celestial master in Yanzhou in the west. He came from Hezhou to slay demons all the way. He killed many demons who broke the rules in Yanzhou. Could it be the Taoist priest?"

"How do you know?"

"There are many monsters in the north. Although I practice in the mountains and forests in the north of Yuezhou, I often hear interesting news from outside."

"What else do you want to say?"

"Where did the priest come from?"

"Didn't you know that with one step, come from Yanzhou, Hezhou."

"Where are you going?"

"Travel around the world."

"Have you traveled all over Yuezhou?"

"It's been more than half of the way."

"..."

Xiao Lu turned his head around, looked left and right, seemed to have some concerns, and then said to him: "There are many monsters in Yuezhou, and there are many interesting things, the Taoist priest should walk more carefully."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Song You to ask more questions, as soon as he kicked his hoof, he turned and ran into the mist behind him, and disappeared.
