There is a saying that the shadows in the clouds and lakes are long and the sun is long, and things change and the stars move for several degrees of autumn.

This year is another good time for outings.

On the bank of the bridge head, on the side of the sandbar, a small man walked steadily on the suspension bridge connecting the pavilions in the river.

He was carrying a pannier of equal height, and a pair of little feet in soft boots stepped on the steel cable no more than the thickness of a thumb, slowly swinging towards the river.

Only a few feet away from the Suspension Bridge, a dozen or so children of about the same age hurriedly ran on the bridge paved with wooden boards, rushing to the opposite bank.

When they rushed to the shore in one go, they found that there was already a person standing in front of them with a smile.

"Ah, Li Zi won again!"

"Why does he always win? I even ate an extra bowl of rice when I got up early!"

"It's fine if you're not greedy, but now that you have an extra bowl of food in your belly, it's even harder to think about it soon!"

These girls chattered and twittered for a while, and they only surrounded the only one among them like a baby, and they refused to let go of anyone.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

The good-tempered boy said with a simple smile, "If it doesn't work today, there will be another day."

He took out a handful of golden fruits from his bosom, and distributed them to the little ladies around him by the head, "Master is still waiting for me to run an errand, so I won't joke with you today."

The most handsome little lady gnawed on the fruit and asked, "The Taoist priest wants you to go to Xieyang Mountain to ask for spring water again?"

Everyone in the nearby villages knows that Taoist Zhi Zhi, who settled down on the river, is a kind person who likes to study the properties of medicine.

If someone gets fetal gas and can't give birth to a baby, no matter how far he goes, he can get an antidote.

Li Zi nodded with a smile, "This time around, we have to get dark to go down the mountain. I'll come back tomorrow morning to have a rematch with you."

As he said that, he waved goodbye to those reluctant ladies, and went to the path into the mountain alone.

Li Zi has walked the road on this mountain countless times with his master since he was sensible, and now he even closes his eyes and is not afraid of losing his way.

With his quick footsteps and the blessing of his skills, he arrived at an ancient temple in the deep mountains faintly floating in the clouds and mist before noon.

The Taoist who cleaned the door was very happy when he saw him, "Li Zi is here, Master was still talking about you yesterday!"

Li Zi bowed back, "I'm afraid that what the Immortal Chief is thinking about is not the boy, but the tribute on the boy's back!"

The Taoist was not annoyed when he heard this, instead he threw down his broom and came to fetch him, "Don't talk too much, follow me into the nunnery to pay a visit."

Waiting to meet the host, the bonus gift, sheep wine and fruit plate were presented one by one, and Li Zi took out a crystal jade pot from the bottom of the basket, which was only bigger than an adult's fist, "Immortal Chief, this is this year's monkey wine." .”

True Immortal Ruyi, who had a smile in her eyes, turned slightly annoyed when she heard the word monkey: "You don't need to eat this wine!"

Li Zi was stunned and was about to plead guilty, but was beckoned to the door by the big apprentice who was accompanying him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Just follow me to fetch water."

When they arrived at the well fence in the backyard, the old Taoist priest threw down the bucket and whispered: "A little monster ran all the way from the withered pine stream to report the news, saying that the master's nephew, the Holy Infant King, let a passing hozen give it to him." Harmful, this is why I feel annoyed, but I have no grievances with your master and apprentice."

Li Zi was silent after hearing this, and only waited for the jar of water to be carried before saying goodbye to the Taoist priest who had contributed.

Down the mountain along the original road and back to the river bank, another group slowly crossed to the water pavilion surrounded by layers of blue curtains, and found the master who was studying ink and calligraphy, and told them what he saw and heard in detail.

"Oh, that Taoist said so?"

Song Ci gently blew the ink stains on the paper that hadn't fully dried, "It seems that you and I, master and apprentice, will not be able to stay in Xiliang Girl Country for long."

"If the master hadn't insisted on waiting here for the old man, the disciple would have left this place long ago."

Li Zi rubbed his hands shyly, "The little ladies are better, but the older ones are as fierce as the man-eating tigers in the mountains, and their eyes glow green every time they meet them!"

"Where did this go?"

Song Ci couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You are still young, you are less than ten years old, try it in a few years!"

The women in Daughter Country are very fierce, especially when they see men, which is why she insisted on placing her residence in the section of the river with the most turbulent water.

Even so, a few years ago, there were women who risked their lives by sailing boats to rob people. If she hadn't kindly rescued them, the bridge piers under this house would have been filled with dead bodies.

After putting away the fetal spring water, Song resigned from the kitchen to fetch a warm dinner for Li Zi, "I see that you really like those little ladies who cross the river every day, remember that the most handsome one seems to be called Xing'er?" ? If you are not willing, how about hiring someone for you as a teacher?"

Li Zi shook his head like a rattle when he heard it, "No, no. I still have to follow Master Youfang to learn Taoism, how can I take my daughter-in-law on the road!"

"Silly boy!"

Song Ci licked the child's bangs, "Following Master is not a good job, and the road ahead is not as comfortable as being in Xiliang Women's Country."

After she finished speaking, she sighed in her heart, and hoped that God would bless her, so that her master and apprentice could return to Datang under the guidance of Monk Tang, so as to find a way out for Li Zi.

Now that he got the news from the Buddhist scriptures, Song Ci didn't let Li Zi wander around anymore, but told him to stay nearby and play with the little lady, and kept an eye on any foreigners coming from far away.

One day, Song Cimen was grinding the improved version of Luotai Pill in the pharmacy when he heard Li Zi come running in yelling, "Master, there are three strange-looking monks and one handsome-looking monk coming from the river mouth, and they are yelling Ask a boat to cross the river!"

"Just in time!"

Song Ci hastily threw down the medicine pestle, grabbed the little apprentice and jumped into the speedboat prepared early in the morning by the window, "Li Zi, from today onwards your name will be Li Chengfeng, I hope that you will be invincible by riding the wind and breaking the waves!"

Li Zi blushed excitedly when he heard this, "Thank you, Master, for giving me the name!"

The two of them rushed to the mouth of the river in a speedboat, and after a sharp turn, they got away from the old woman who was about to come to pick up passengers.

Song Ci stood up with a smile, and asked the pilgrim who was splashed all over his body by the rushing waves: "Elder Tang, after a long separation, do you still recognize your old friend?"

"Prince Wu?"

"Child?"

"Ms. Qin?"

"Little Taoist priest?"

The four masters and apprentices on the bank were stunned, and then Tang Seng couldn't help asking: "Amitabha, Prince Wu, don't you want to return to your hometown to donate tree seeds to His Majesty the Tang King? Why did you come to this Xiliang female country instead?"

"Oh, it's a long story!"

Anyway, they were acquaintances, Song Ci was not polite, and repeatedly greeted them to board the boat, "It's rare to get together by fate, and let Xiaodao show the friendship of the landlord, so that I can explain the customs and taboos of this daughter country to the elder and the three eminent disciples!"

Then she cautiously looked around again, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, Elder, in this Xiliang women's country, there are not only old friends of your master and apprentice, but also a new enemy!"

"Master, let's go with him!"

Zhu Bajie groaned and said, "At least he is an old friend, so it is not wrong to eat him for a few meals!"

"go!"

Sun Wukong slapped the gluttonous idiot away, "Master, why don't you just let him go, and let my old grandson hear what kind of monster this enemy is!"

"Alright."

Monk Tang felt terrified when he looked at the women who were staring at him, and hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves and said to the three apprentices: "Wujing, quickly bring the salute and the white horse!"

"okay!"

Drifting thought of all the meals he ate halfway and couldn't help but wiped his mouth, and with a smile he carried the burden on the strangely shaped big boat.

When Monk Tang, who was weak and timid, sat down in the cabin, Song Ci immediately launched the speedboat to throw off the women who gradually surrounded him, and galloped to the two-story water attic.

"Holy monk, don't take offense!"

Song Ci helped Monk Tang, who was a little seasick, "Xiaodao chose such a residence because of no other choice."

She lowered the hanging ladder to lead the guests in, "It's just because the citizens of this daughter's country want to take a man home as soon as they see a man, and the trail is too disturbed, so they have to live on the water with their apprentices."

Zhu Bajie shook his head and looked around, "What do you mean by race?"

"This is really hard to say."

Song Ci suppressed his embarrassment and said, "It's just for the daughter's family to be a husband and wife!"

"Ah, this is a good job!"

After Zhu Bajie heard this, he turned around anxiously, "I said you, a Taoist priest, are too dishonest. You don't want to share your worries with others, so why are you stopping us?"

"Bajie! Stop talking nonsense!"

Monk Tang stopped the second disciple who was talking nonchalantly, "It's a good intention not to say Prince Wu, you have fasted with me, how can you worry about your children's private relationship!"

"You idiot, you only want beautiful things!"

Sun Wukong waited for the master to sit down, "You don't even think about how many daughters there are in this country, how can you be worthy of being a man alone, sooner or later you will end up doing your job!"

"You wicked Bi Mawen, you can't order something from me!"

Zhu Bajie sat down twisting his buttocks, "Since this is a country of daughters, the king is still thinking about recruiting a son-in-law, if I become a king's wife, how can she be willing to give me up to someone else!"

Song Ci smiled slightly, and took out a written note from his sleeve, "Elder Zhu, has he forgotten the hardships he suffered in Gao Laozhuang?"

"Bring it to you!"

Zhu Bajie tore up the deed in twos and twos, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth before the brothers probed, "It's strange that I see your familiarity, so you were the one who played tricks on me back then!"

"No, no, no."

Song Ci asked Li Zi to heat up the vegetarian food, "The fact of Gao's family has nothing to do with Xiaodao. But that Qin Niang is a distant relative of mine, and because she joked about it in the early years, she also regretted that she should not have done it for a while. I offended the elder, so I left the deed to me to think about before getting married."

Zhu Bajie was stunned when he heard the words, "Huh? Is Qin Niang married?"

Song Ci nodded, "That's right, I'm afraid the dolls are running all over the floor."

"Hey, or say that my old pig is not blessed!"

Recalling the past, the heartbroken Zhu Bajie picked up a handkerchief and wiped away his tears, "Miss Cuilan must have a foreign surname now."

"You idiot, you didn't admit it when you said it before, but now you have a stupid disease for nothing!"

Monkey King picked up the mango on the table and gnawed a few mouthfuls, "Child, who is the enemy you mentioned earlier? Can I recognize it?"

"How can the golden face of the Great Sage be seen by everyone?"

Song Ci pushed open the window and pointed in the direction of Mount Jieyang, "There is a birth spring in Xiliang female country, which is specially matched for human race. The real fairy Ruyi who guards the spring is the brother of the Bull Demon King. He bears a grudge against the great sage The Holy Infant King Honghaier is uncomfortable and treats you as an enemy. In the future, if the four of you, master and apprentice, accidentally drink the water of the mother-child river to plant your fetal gas, he will definitely not give you the antidote!"

"If you don't give it, you won't give it."

Sand Monk answered with a smile, "It's good luck that my elder brother doesn't care about him. How can it be the turn of Ruyi Zhenxian to take revenge. Besides, as long as we don't fall into the river, are we afraid of getting pregnant water?"

"Having said that, it's better to be careful."

Monk Tang still said worriedly: "Wukong, it's better to get rid of enemies than tie them up. Since he wants to seek revenge from you, you don't want to go to Jieyang Mountain. At least everyone wants to clean up."

After chatting for half an hour, the fast meal on the stove was ready, so Song Ci invited the four masters and apprentices into the dining room to enjoy.

At this time, the table was already full of bean buns, cakes, sugar and steamed buns, as well as all kinds of fried and fried vegetables for fasting people, and even fresh melons and fruits were filled to the brim.

Seeing the kindness of the master, Monk Tang had no choice but to chant the Buddha's name again and again with humility, so that the apprentices who had worked hard all the way could relax and have a full meal.

The four people at the table ate deliciously, and Song Ci did not forget to ask Li Zi to get some wheat and green grass to serve the white dragon horse who never showed his dew, and only hoped that he could take care of the children more because of today's love.

After the dishes were cleared up, Li Zi, who knew how to wink, hurriedly offered Xiaoshi tea to several honored guests.

Song Ci took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said with a smile, "Holy Monk, it's getting late today, why don't you just rest in the humble house for the night, get up early tomorrow, and then go to visit the monarch."

"Yes, Master."

Zhu Bajie rubbed his belly and said with a silly smile: "Get up early and eat enough before going, so you have the energy to hurry!"

Monk Tang looked out of the window and saw that the sun had already set in the west. He knew that the king in the palace would definitely not discuss matters anymore, so he nodded and said, "My master and my disciples are going to disturb the prince again."

Song Ci smiled wryly and waved his hands, "The holy monk must not be polite, or you will really shame the little king! If it weren't for the young disciple who couldn't stand the bumps, why should I be stuck on this isolated island. Now it's so easy to meet old people It's too late for Xiao Wang to be happy, so how can he feel troubled?"

While speaking, she took out a bottle of newly developed medicine pill from her sleeve, "This is the pill of falling fetus, which is refined from the spring water of falling fetus brought by the gift of sheep wine in the past. Since the holy monk wants to enter the palace to pay homage, why not Bring a bottle of self-defense."

Sun Wukong was quite puzzled when he heard this, "I will leave after seeing the emperor, why do I have to bring this thing?"

Song Ci grinned in embarrassment, "Just because Her Majesty the Queen is just young, and the fairy boy born to the holy monk is like a fairy child, I am afraid that she will be on a whim..."

Sun Wukong was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and said jokingly: "Are you afraid that the king wants to recruit my master as his son-in-law, so he can't use tricks to impress me with sweet words?"

Seeing that Monk Tang's tender face was ready to swell, Song Ci could only cough lightly and added: "Or the Xiaodao uses the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. As the saying goes, be prepared and be prepared!"

As soon as these words came out, Monk Tang was so ashamed that he couldn't see his face. He kept thinking that he was very tired from the journey, and wanted to go to the wing to rest for a while.

Song Ci didn't provoke him, so he raised his hand and asked Li Zi to take the four distinguished guests to the bedroom that had already been tidied up, and also provided hot spring bathing service by the way.

Sleep comfortably, and early in the morning, Song Ci made some steamed cakes dipped in pickles to entertain Monk Tang and the others for a good meal, and then handed them off and watched them go to Yingyang Station.

"Li Zi, come here!"

After turning the corner and disappearing the figures of the four masters and apprentices, Song Ci hurriedly greeted his children, "Yesterday I asked you to serve several elders to take a bath, did you follow my orders?"

Li Zi nodded, and wrinkled his nose in distaste, "Elder Tang is quite refreshed, but the other three are all sloppy."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Song Ci smiled and took the glass bottle from the child, "This is the life-buying money of our master and apprentice!"

With the treasure in hand, she looked at the water pavilion in the river with great reluctance, "Apprentice, it's time for us to pack our bags and go on the road."

Li Zi was taken aback when he heard the words, "Master, are we not going to go with Elder Tang?"

The child was young and didn't know what to do, so he just thought that although those elders looked weird, they were very easy to get along with, so they probably wouldn't care about bringing two more people on the road.

Song Ci helplessly explained: "Peering also has its own way of doing things. Mr. Tang Chang and his disciples are all masters who are blessed by the heavens. If ordinary people like you and I join forces, I'm afraid they will turn into ashes and have no place to bury them. "

After coaxing the half-knowledgeable Li Zi, he also agreed to set aside a day to say goodbye to those little ladies who had a good time on weekdays. Song Ci turned around and took out tools to demolish the hanging wire bridge, and replaced it with boulders. Build bridge piers and girders to pave the road.

Before leaving the next day, Li Zi, who was pretending to be strong, looked at the little friend who kept waving and calling for people by the river and finally couldn't hold back two lines of tears. Song Ci patted his immature shoulder with emotion, "It is said that the predecessors After planting trees, the descendants can enjoy the shade, and now the trail has added a different kind of scenery to this Xiliang female country, and it is not in vain for you and my master and apprentice to live here."

"Master, let's go."

Li Zi wiped away his tears, choked with sobs and said, "I can't leave until those big ladies catch up."

Hearing these childish words, Song Ci's sadness subsided a little, and he launched the speedboat to the ferry on the upper reaches of the Zimu River, then abandoned the boat and went ashore to the forest.

Although the scenery of the mountains and forests here is not as beautiful as that of Xieyang Mountain, it also has a wild charm.

It was the first time for Li Zi to go out of the border of the daughter's country when he was nine years old. It was really fresh everywhere he looked.

Song Ci didn't hold him back either, and let the child play with the animals in the woods as he pleased.

After traveling around mountains and rivers for half a month, the sun was shining brightly at noon, and the woods were stuffy and hot, and the oily skin melted.

"Li Zi, don't go, quickly set up the tent."

Song Ci, who fell listlessly behind, shouted listlessly: "From now on, we will only travel in the morning and evening, and save our feet to rest in the afternoon to enjoy the cool air."

Li Zi, who was still playing with the electronic dog in the front, agreed happily, and hurried back to the master to take out a small mushroom with a pleasing color from his backpack.

I found a shady grassland, pressed the spots on the hat and threw it away, and the small mushrooms rolled and fell to the ground gradually swelled and formed, and became a mushroom house with its own doors and windows in the ground.

Throwing down the useless cattail fan, Song Ci went in and opened the freezer to fiddle with the ingredients inside, "Let's eat cold noodles at noon, to get rid of the heat."

Li Zi was not picky, so he picked a piece of sauced beef and went to cook in a pot.

Not long after, cigarette smoke came out of the noodle soup in the pot, Song Ci quickly picked up the overcooked noodles and dipped them in ice water, and only distributed the slightly warm ones to the plums, so as not to damage the stomachs of others from freezing.

The master and the apprentice were sucking noodles into their mouths face to face, but they didn't want the scent wafting in the wind to attract a group of strong men who would occupy the mountain as king.

The two bad ruffians at the beginning were blocking another path with their minions, but now they smelled the smoke and knew that there was another businessman crossing the border, so they came over.

When it became clear that the people resting in the forest were just two weak men, one big and one small, and when they saw the gold and silver utensils and delicacies from mountains and seas they carried with them, they rushed out clamorously with teeth and claws.

"Bah!"

A gong sounded to clear the way, and the first big man in tiger skin yelled loudly: "Where did you come from, a scholar, come and see your grandpa Tai Sui!"

Another reckless man dressed in leopard skin and holding a mace laughed strangely: "We brothers don't have to worry about it, you can just pack your luggage and leave it alone."

Li Zi, who has never seen such a battle before, was so frightened by the sound of the gong that he almost broke the bowl, but Song Ci, who had experienced many battles, slowly swallowed the sauce in his mouth, "The two brothers must be the ones who occupy the mountain and become kings." Bandits, right? Unfortunately, Xiaodao just had a fortune-telling, and the fortune-telling showed that everything is going to be unlucky today, so he stopped. If the two kings listen to my advice, you might as well go home safely so that your parents won’t worry about it.”

"You Taoist priest are so brave, you dare to deceive my brother with cunning words!"

The reckless man glared, "Boys, quickly pick up this cunning Taoist with me and serve him well, so that he can know how powerful our cottage is!"

"Hey, there is no disease or disaster, so why don't your majesty bother to think about it!"

Song Ci slowly unbuttoned his trouser belt from his Taoist robe, and with a flick of his wrist, he made a sword flower, "Li Zi, do you still remember what Master taught you?"

"Remember!"

Li Zi shook his little hand, imitating his master and pulling out the soft sword he was wearing, "If you can't beat him, run away, if you can beat him, beat him until he cries for his father and mother, so he won't dare to do it again!"

"Hey, that's not it!"

Song Ci gave the child a brainstorm nearby, "How many times have I said as a teacher, the most important thing for us to walk in the rivers and lakes is to 'convince people with virtue!'"

After educating her apprentices, she turned to the group of bandits who looked like idiots, and said with a smile on her face: "Since the king is reluctant to leave, then stay with us, master and apprentice. It also prevents my apprentice from fighting with wild beasts alone." Playing, it hurts my heart to see it."

The author has something to say:
