A few drops of rain fell on them.

"The layman has misunderstood. We are not here to steal the rituals of our colleagues." The third brother turned a blind eye to the falling raindrops. "We are Taoists from Yishan. Halfway through our trip, the weather happened to change. We didn't want to get wet. I heard that the weather here

The owner is a kind person, so he came here specifically to stay for one night."

"Yishan?"

“The mountains of Yi County.”

"Yixian County?" Zhang Yu frowned, "So far away? How do you know us? But we have known each other before?"

"We didn't know each other before," the third senior brother said truthfully. "We met an old gentleman on the road named Zhang Yuande. We asked him for directions, and he asked us to stay here for the night."

"ah?"

When the man heard this, he was shocked.

After being frightened, I felt a little angry.

"What did you say?"

"No offense intended."

"You Taoist priest! My family is known for its good deeds and good deeds. If you come to stay for the night, you politely say that even if my father dies, I can make room for you to stay for one night, but you use my dead money.

Dad is kidding!”

Hearing this, the junior sister behind him was shocked.

But I saw that the third senior brother looked calm and still saluted:

"No, no, we Yishan Taoists have true traditions and dare not lie. We did meet your father's guard of honor on the road and got his guidance to stay here."

He paused and said:

"Your Majesty, your goatee is just down to your chest? The guard of honor is four young men carrying golden gongs, four horses and servants on horseback, four boys, four maids, and a two-horse carriage?"

When the man heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Not only was he shocked, but the people behind him were also surprised.

After asking each other, it turned out to be completely consistent.

Surprised, he did not dare to be suspicious, so he quickly treated them as distinguished guests, invited them into his home, and entertained them well.

This place has not left the scope of Huizhou. It is still a house with white walls and blue tiles. There are many couplets on the pillars of the main hall. The most conspicuous one reads:

To have good children and grandchildren, you must start by respecting your ancestors;

If you want a good family background, you should study and accumulate good deeds.

A table was set up next to the main room, with a lantern hanging diagonally. There was an oil lamp on the table, several hot meat dishes, and a pot of home-brewed wine. The three of them were eating.

There was a circle of people around.

It had already started pouring rain outside.

Tart cakes are delicious. After all, they are dry food. They are a little better when they are hot, but they are greatly reduced when they are cold. No matter how good the dry food is, how can it compare with this hot meat and wine?

Whether it was the neighbors who came to help the Zhang family or the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family, they were all surprised and novel when they heard about this incident, and they all ran over and surrounded them.

"Where did the Taoist priests meet my father?"

"It's not far ahead."

"Dare I ask, dare I ask how my father is doing?"

"Don't worry, your father is very good." The third senior brother wiped the oil from his mouth and said, picked up the wine bottle and drank, "He walked alone to the official road and was buried with everyone. This is not a treatment that ordinary people can get. I think my father did a lot of things during his lifetime.

It's a good thing that you get such preferential treatment from below."

"Yes, yes..."

Everyone was happy and busy wiping away tears.

"What did my father tell the Taoist priests?"

"Your Majesty is very kind..."

Lin Jue told them all about the conversation between himself and the old gentleman, the old gentleman's demeanor and tone, and the minute details of his accent.

When everyone heard it, they all agreed.

Then he didn't dare to disturb their meal. He just asked the women to make beds for them, asked the juniors to feed the donkeys, and everyone went out to do their business.

The three of them were full quickly.

"Oh, I saved another meal of tart cakes." The third senior brother said with a smile, "Look, if you hadn't followed me, how would you have encountered such a thing, how would you have had such a good meal, and you might have eaten it somewhere.

.”

The two people looked at each other under the oil lamp.

Although the junior sister didn't say anything, she had a strange look on her face.

Lin Jue was also lost in thought.

The sound of blowing and rain outside kept coming.

…

Early the next morning, I said goodbye to the Zhang family.

The old man's eldest son, Zhang Yu, inherited the old man's kindness and hospitality. Not only did he refuse the money offered by a group of people, he also specially made some steamed cakes and gave them to them.

"Eat on the road. Eat on the road."

"Thank you, layman!" said the third senior brother, "By the way, how can I get to Yuanzhou?"

"Yuanzhou?"

"yes……"

"Although we have traveled further than the people in the same village, we have never been to Yuanzhou." Zhang Yu said thoughtfully, "I have a cousin who used to go to Niaoshu Mountain to run business. I heard him say

Once you get to Niaoshu Mountain, you can take the waterway to Yuanzhou, which is also the best way to go to Yuanzhou. The waterway is always easier than the land route."

"How to get to Niaoshu Mountain?"

"When you get to the main road, go to the right and keep walking. You have a journey of several days, so you have to ask for directions several times."

"Thank you very much."

The three of them had no choice but to enter the ancestral hall, stand in front of the old gentleman's coffin, and respectfully offer him three sticks of incense. Then they left and continued their journey to Yuanzhou Mingchi Mountain.

There are many strange things along the way, as well as fairies and ghosts.

A few days later, I asked about Niaoshu Mountain.

Then we looked for waterways and a pier.
