Taoist Beishan is the master of this Floating Cloud Temple.

This Taoist is really capable.

Fulong Temple may not be well-known among the people, but for such experts, they have never heard of it. They met by chance in the wild, and they were really destined, so Beishan Taoist invited them to stay in the temple.

A room, simple and casual.

Some disciples carried their luggage for them.

Song You sat in the room for a while and felt that what Beishan Taoist said before was also reasonable——

After all, Sanhua Empress is a demon. Taoists who are good at eliminating demons have the ability to identify monsters. Sanhua Empress is fine when she is around him. Once she is far away from him, if she meets a Taoist with good practices, even if she does not suffer some hardships

I'm afraid I'll be a little frightened too.

It's just that there are not many Taoists who practice Taoism in the world, and he meets very few along the way, so he doesn't pay attention to this.

Then I’m going to Changjing.

Changjing is the most virtuous city in the world. Maybe the Taoist masters like to be clean and don't necessarily gather there, but the Buddhist masters like to go to lively places. In the past few years, they even liked to participate in politics. Many important officials of the imperial court and some Buddhists

We have good friends with eminent monks, and even some important officials in the imperial court have monks in their staffs. It was not until the past twenty years that a Taoist became a national preceptor, and the situation became better.

In addition to Buddhist and Taoist masters, there are also folk masters, as well as ghosts, ghosts, snake gods, and even some monsters mixed in.

Indeed, Empress Sanhua and herself are companions, just like other Taoists and spiritual beasts, gods and mounts, it is absolutely impossible to mark them, but we can think of other ways.

Song You rummaged in his quilt bag for a while and found a small wooden sign from the bag he had brought with him when he went down the mountain.

The wooden plaque is exquisitely made, just like a mortal token. There are cloud patterns on both sides. The three big characters "Fulong Temple" are written on the front, and some small characters are written on the back, including Song You's name and his generation.

Song You looked around and pinched a corner.

"Snapped!"

Easily pinch off a small corner.

About the size of a fingernail.

Then start sanding and shaping.

The calico cat behind him crawled towards him, crawling very slowly step by step. When it reached his side, it looked up at his face and then looked down at the small piece of wood. It was so close to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Make a sign."

"what brand?"

"look--"

Song You picked up the wooden sign that was the successor of Fulongguan and showed it to her: "I have a sign with my name written on it, so that when others see it, they will know who I am and where I come from. I want Sanhua

The empress should also have the same brand...but a little smaller."

"Given it to me?"

"yes."

Song You said to her: "It can be used as a necklace and worn around the neck. If Empress Sanhua doesn't like it and thinks it doesn't look good, she can wear it on herself when she transforms into a human form."

"Does this let others know that I am your cat?"

"no."

Song You said while polishing: "This way, when others see it, they will know that Sanhua Empress is with me and is not a bad monster, so they won't embarrass me."

"Is it because Sanhua Empress is weak?"

"Miss Sanhua has her own abilities."

"What's the point?"

"That's a lot..."

Song You kept moving his hands, polishing while saying, seemingly without thinking: "It's just like the rabbit we ate at lunch yesterday, but it was caught by Empress Sanhua from the mountain. The bird eggs she ate on the road before were also Sanhua.

The empress took it out. If it weren't for the Sanhua empress, where would I have gotten the bird eggs and rabbits to eat? These are all things I don't have the ability to do."

"Taoist priest."

"Um?"

"Will Sanhua Empress embarrass you?"

"how come?"

Song You immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her.

Don't understand why she asked.

The Sanhua Cat raised its head and looked at him with a serious face: "Sanhua Empress will be frightened by Thunder God, and she will be frightened by other Taoist priests. If Sanhua Empress is very powerful, it won't be like this."

"It's normal for monsters to be frightened by Thunder God and Taoist priests. Most monsters are afraid of Thunder God and Taoist priests. Many very powerful monsters are also afraid of Thunder God." Song You paused, "But Sanhua Empress is talented, intelligent and hardworking.

He is eager to learn, he opened up his spiritual wisdom easily, and transformed into his physical form naturally. Although he strayed into the Shinto way, he still managed to prosper. With such talent and ability, it won't be long before he can cultivate into a great demon. I can't say what will happen to him then.

Rely on the protection of Empress Sanhua."

The calico cat didn't speak for a while, and just stood beside him, even stepping on his legs with its two front paws, raising its head high, and looking at him.

It took her a long time to look away, but then she turned around and jumped to the ground to play with her barmao ball.

"..."

Song You shook his head.

Who knows what the cat is thinking?

Keep polishing.

I just heard a voice coming from the side: "I want to make it the same as yours, tie it with a rope, and I will wear it around my neck..."

"..."

It's time to put your skills to the test.

…

The moon shines brightly on the green mountains at night, and the sky is white with dew in autumn.

Apart from the purity of the Taoist temple, there are also many footsteps.

There was a sound of footsteps arriving at Song You's door.

“Tuk-tuk!”

"Taoist Priest, the temple master invites you to dinner."

"Come here!"

Song You opened the door and went with the cat.

Taoist Master Beishan hosted a banquet for them here.

Young Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes came and went carrying dishes one by one to the dining hall.

Taoist temples like Fuyun Temple naturally do not have to pay taxes, and they are very famous in the local area, so the profits are certainly not small. To a certain extent, it is similar to Fulong Temple in Lingquan County, except that Fulong Temple opens from time to time.

It is not open sometimes and does not like to receive pilgrims, so it affects the income from incense, and Fuyun Temple should be richer.

We are entertaining distinguished guests today. No matter how sumptuous the dishes are, they are not simple either.

As soon as Song You walked in, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Taoist Beishan, as the master of the temple, sat at the top of the table. There were rows of seats below on both sides. Song You and Empress Sanhua sat at the front. On the table were five or six plates of rare dishes, a lotus pod, and a jug of wine.

Taoist Beishan first offered a toast to Empress Sanhua, told her about the misunderstanding, apologized, and then told everyone to eat quickly.

Song You lowered his head and glanced at the table.

A plate of lamb, grilled.

A plate of bacon, cooked until shiny and sliced ​​thinly.

A dish that looks like fried vegetables, served with lotus leaves. Some dark green thin slices similar to seaweed. Some lotus roots cut into small pieces only as thick as a finger, which seem to be raw. A piece of raw fish, and another plate that cannot be distinguished.

What kind of fried vegetables, and finally the whole lotus pod.

Song You looked at it for a long time before taking off his chopsticks.

He looked at other people's tables and knew that this raw fish was only on his own table. He thought it was specially prepared for Empress Sanhua, so he gave it to her first.

Then they tasted the dishes side by side.

Taoist priest Beishan, who was sitting in the main seat, paid attention to his expressions and movements, and explained to him with a smile: "This is fried with lotus leaves. Take the tenderest lotus leaves, wrap them in starch and fry them."

When Song You ate it, he couldn't really tell what was in it. Anyway, it just tasted like fried food.

But it's also strange.

Fried food is very rare these days. Unless it is a festival, entertaining distinguished guests, or a wealthy family, one would be reluctant to use so much oil.

Then he ate the thin slices that looked like seaweed.
