"Thank you very much for the guidance from the Mirror God." The Taoist bowed respectfully to the Mirror Island Lake God. "I've been interrupting you for a long time, so it's time to say goodbye."

"Thank you Mirror God for your guidance!"

The cat next to him was doing other things. When he heard the Taoist's words, it was as if part of his instinct had been awakened. He immediately turned his head and imitated what he said.

"I don't dare to give advice, it's just an exchange with old friends." Jingdao Lake God said for a while, and continued to look at the Taoist, "I heard that there is a saying in the world that there are four ounces of weight, but you have to use force and skill to the extreme. The Taoist priest's current attainments are still not very advanced.

, I only learned one move, and my strength is even weaker, but I still have to think clearly and choose it appropriately."

"Thank you Mirror God."

The Taoist looked very calm and said to him: "I'm probably just entertaining an old friend once. Since I am an old friend, I happen to have a place in my memory that is suitable for entertaining him."

"That's best."

After the Mirror Island Lake God finished speaking, he pursed his lips and said no more on this topic.

"We took our leave."

"Let's take our leave!"

"You two, walk slowly."

Jingdao Lake God said this, bowed to the Taoist priest in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then said something else: "It seems that the outside world is already at the junction of summer and autumn. It is the most beautiful time. I remember the Taoist priest many years ago.

When I came here with Empress Sanhua, I walked around the lake and slept in the lake. Now it happened to be at this time. The Taoist priest must have been bored underwater for so long. He must have been bored in the past few months.

You should be a little tired when you learn how to create dreams in your dream, so why not rent a tent boat and park it on the lake for a day, or find a place with thick reeds on the shore and sleep for a night in autumn before leaving?"

"Is it autumn again?"

"Exactly." Jingdao Lake God said, "The weather is just right today, neither cloudy nor sunny."

"If that's the case, after you go out, you should really walk around the lake, relax, and enjoy the scenery before leaving." The Taoist knew that the scenery around Jingdao Lake was also unique, not inferior to Yunding Mountain, but he also knew

The God of Jingdao Lake thought so, so he added, "However, time is limited, so it is not advisable to stay here for too long, just moor the boat and sleep in the autumn."

"The Taoist priest has already stayed here for three months, so why rush for one day?"

Jingdao Lake God's tone and expression were very calm: "It just so happens that as a lake god, I have not been on the shore for many years. I have completely forgotten what it feels like to walk on the shore among the autumn scenery. I have even forgotten the boat mooring on the lake for many years.

It has never happened before. If the Taoist priest feels that it is boring to swim in the lake alone, and if the Taoist priest is willing to accompany his old friend for a swim, I will ask the maid to get a painted boat, which can be regarded as a farewell to you."

"The Mirror God is in the lake. If you want to go boating on the lake or play on the lake shore, when can't you do that?"

"My spiritual conduct is shallow and my spiritual power is low. I am safest only in the lake. When I reach the shore, my magic power drops sharply. In the peaceful years, there were princes and officials, generals and warriors. In troubled times, there are fairies, ghosts, and heretics. It is difficult to escape easily from anything.

How can you have fun if you are worried? Just don't go there. Only if you have a Taoist priest with you can you feel at ease."

"..."

These words can be said to be too sincere.

But the Taoist thought about it again and again, and declined politely: "The Mirror God is kind-hearted, and if there is another opportunity, I will make a decision to visit the Mirror God again, and then swim on the water and lake shore with my old friends."

"well……"

Jingdao Lake God shook his head and bowed again:

"Taoist Master, take care."

"The Mirror God also takes care of himself."

The Taoist also saluted him solemnly.

"Mirror God, take care!"

The cat also saluted him.

The mist is rising and the ripples are coming.

A man and a cat have arrived on the lake.

Sure enough, it’s autumn again.

The reeds on the shore have already sprouted snow-white spikes, which look fluffy and soft. They are blown in the same direction by the wind, and look like a blanket from a distance.

The loess path by the lake is very dry, and fallen reeds have occupied a lot of the road. However, no one went to cut them down and help them. They only let them decorate the road at the foot of Yunding Mountain and Jingdao Lake, and they were overgrown with weeds.

It is a good weather with the sky full of fish scales and broken clouds. The sun shines on the earth and Jingdao Lake. The light and darkness are intertwined. It is so beautiful that it is dreamy. You can get the sun without feeling too hot. On the contrary, there is a breeze. In this situation

Walking on the lakeside path in cold weather gives you a comfortable and comfortable feeling.

Not to mention that the Taoist has been underwater for three months.

The Taoist carries his luggage and walks with a stick.

The cat crawled slowly, following him, looking around while crawling, stopping to observe from time to time.

"We have Mao Juzi!"

A cat's voice came from behind.

"yes……"

"Mao Juzi should all die!"

"Autumn is dead."

"It will grow again next year!"

"Everything has the right and reason to exist."

"Can't understand."

"Not only Mao Juzi, but also Xanthium angustifolia."

"Yeah! Really!"

The cat was immediately frightened.

I wish I could breathe fire and burn them all right now, or transform into a human being and beat them all to death with a stick.

"Miss Sanhua, do you still remember the past?"

"Miss Sanhua remembers a lot of the past."

"We came here for the first time. In the second year of Mingde, we were socializing in summer and autumn. We were walking by the lake, just like now. We stayed on the mountain for a year. In the third year of Mingde, we were also socializing in summer and autumn. Just like now, we were walking slowly.

The same is true at Jingdao Lake and along the roadside. The reeds are full of flowers and are white and fluffy."

"..."

The cat was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, stopped and stared up at him, and then slowly crawled to follow:

"I seem to remember..."

"Eighteen and seventeen years have just passed."

"Eighteen years, seventeen years!" Cat's eyes widened, "It seems like a long time!"

"Miss Sanhua, we should go east."

"East!"

"Boundless Mountain."

"But it's getting dark!"

"Then just find a place to rest for the night."

"knew!"

"Canopy..."

In the afternoon, the extremely calm lake surface was really like a mirror, reflecting the islands and sky clouds. A huge crane spread its wings and flew gracefully across the lake surface, and was also reflected in the lake surface.

…

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

There is a ruined temple among the wind-filled mountains.

"Crackling..."

A few square stones were built into a simple stove. The firewood burned and made a crackling sound. The fire light came out from the holes in the small stove and made obvious light marks on the walls of the ruined temple. The sound and light of the flames were heard.

The warmth of the place is reassuring, especially when paired with the sound of the wind outside.

There was a small pot on the fire, with thick bubbles coming out of it.

There is a faint aroma of fermented wine, and a strong sweet aroma. Between the bubbling water, you can see a small round ball as big as your little finger, as well as a few red dates and wolfberries, embellished with color.

The cat lay beside the firelight and slept peacefully.

The Taoist sat cross-legged against the wall, holding a handful of yellowed cockleburs in his hand, and placed the cockleburs side by side along the cat's head to the neck, then to the back, and finally to the tail, forming a line.

.

"Hiss..."

The cat sniffed, opened its eyes, raised its head, and looked at the glutinous rice dumplings in the pot.

Then he turned around and looked at the Taoist priest:
To be continued...
