On the monotonous road, it is a pleasure to see the same kind.

As the weather gets colder, people's frequency of activities outside the house has greatly decreased, especially in the north. In this environment, thick walls and warm flames are the things that can soothe people's hearts most.

But on a big pine tree outside the town, I saw someone.

A practitioner.

The other party built a simple shack on the tree and should have lived there all the time.

When Fang Chang saw him, he was sitting at the door of the tree house, shaking his bare feet in the cold wind, just looking into the distance.

Very unique.

Moreover, seeing the few people outside looking at him, Fang Chang knew that the other party could not be understood by the world. It is estimated that the person on the tree was either a lunatic or had mental problems, but it was no longer surprising. The information scattered in the conversation came from the wind also proved this point.

However, as the tree gets closer and closer to the tree, the level of spiritual energy is gradually increasing, which tells the person who can see this scene exactly: this person on the tree is not an ordinary person.

He stepped forward a few steps, looked up at the other party, and said, "The weather is good today."

The man on the tree seemed to have noticed Fang Chang a long time ago, but he didn't move. After hearing this, he slowly withdrew his feet, pulled up two hemp shoes from the shack, and jumped off the tree gently.

There was no sound when it landed, like a meat pad with cat claws.

He walked towards Fangchang casually and nodded: "Well, the sky is really good. Guests come to my house to sit?"

"Okay." Fang Chang followed him, jumped gently, and came to this big pine tree together. Although it was winter, the pine and cypress trees were still green, but the color of the needle leaves was a little dim. The trunks were flat and easy to sit, not like the acacia trees, and they also had to rely on the skin to crush the long thorns, and there was a faint fragrance of pine branches.

This practitioner's shack obviously cannot accommodate a second person. And even though the other party has a deep cultivation, he will inevitably follow a path that is not confused by external objects, nor will he focus on managing his residence and expanding the internal space. Therefore, the shack on the tree, or the tree house, is just a shack built with wooden ropes.

"It's long below, what do you call me?" Fang Chang sat down and asked the practitioner next to him.

"Just call me Matsumaka."

The other party was quite cheerful and smiled when he heard this.

Fang Chang looked around and laughed. This name is indeed very appropriate. He lives among the trunks of pine trees all year round, and even places his residence on trees. Isn’t it just a pine guest?

He then asked, "How long have you been here?"

"No more, no less, just 13 years." Matsumaka reached out and stroked his beard, said softly, and then he asked back: "Are you passing by?"

Fang Chang nodded: "I happened to pass by here. I was supposed to be walking in this direction all the time. When I could meet an old monkey demon, I didn't expect to meet a Zhenjing halfway. Seeing that the situation here was very strange, I came up to meet him."

"It's not a real practice, but after more than ten years of practice, I'm not the same person as before. As for the situation here, haha, it's quite strange. Everyone around me looks at him with a different eye." The Matsumake didn't know if he was modest, so he turned to him and said, "However, the monkey demon that the guest said was probably seen."

Fang Chang's heart moved and said strangely:

"It's right here?"

The Matsushika said calmly: "It's this place. Not long ago, I saw a monkey demon wearing a coat and hurried into the town along the official road. There was another monster behind him, as if one was running away and the other was chasing him. However, although the one behind had not transformed, he didn't know what method to use, it was well concealed. Although I was not confused by the eyes like a mortal, I couldn't see his roots."

He reached out his hand and calculated slightly, Fang Chang smiled and said, "Haha, thank you for your guidance. It is the monkey demon I am about to meet."

The two chatted for a long time.

Fang Chang felt that he had benefited a lot from communicating with his colleagues. This pine tree guest is of high level and lives in the borders of prosperous places all year round, and has a wide range of knowledge. Although the ways they practiced are completely different, they can also understand the same. The pine tree guest was also impressed by Fang Chang's understanding of the Tao.

Songjianke was originally an ordinary person from the villages and towns below, but the law of cause and condition has embarked on the path of cultivation of immortality. According to its description, it is also a branch of the worldly Dharma.

As his cultivation grew deeper, gradually, he became more and more unique in the eyes of the townspeople.

Finally, he simply dispersed all his wealth and neighbors, made some wooden boards and occupied the big trees at the entrance of the village, lived on them all day long, and gave himself the name "Pineka Ke". Even the neighbors who were favored by daily diet were given some every few days. Although the amount was not large and they often forgotten, he was not annoyed.

For more than ten years, the people around him have become accustomed to his existence. There is a strange man with abnormal mentality on the big pine trees beside the town. They even told the children not to play around. The people of the town also made up some stories and told them to the children before going to bed, and even used this "weird man" to stop the children from crying at night.

Fang Chang had a great chat with the guest of Songjian.

Before I knew it, it was already the third morning.

The two of them sat on the tree branch to discuss the truth, and there were some strange phenomena around them.

The ice and snow melt, the plants and trees turn green, and minor illnesses and pains are cured without any medicine. Both men, women, young and old, their minds are clearer and even their daily lives are smoother.

However, these visions are very small and have not caused too much surprise to the people. When people see them, they just sigh and continue to work hard. In winter, they stay in the house and do some rubbing ears of grain and spinning thread, which is to relieve boredom and warm, which is what ordinary people often do on weekdays.

After saying goodbye to the guest of Songjian, Fang Chang did not stop in the town below, but directly walked through the official road.

He relied on his strong eyesight and looked back from afar. On the tall pine tree on the other side of the town, the pine guest sat barefoot by the tree house as if he had just seen it, looking at the sky without moving in the cold wind. As if he had noticed Fang Chang's gaze, the other party smiled and waved his hand, and then continued to look at the sky.

I don't know how far I have walked in these three or five days.

The scenery on both sides has changed from the past to the sudden view.

He just went to the place and replenished some food and drinks, and then continued to go on the road, no longer experiencing the people and things he encountered on the road these days, no longer searching for and feeling the charms of various places.

In a valley, Fang Chang met Sun Yun.

This valley is quite abnormal in people's eyes. It is completely different from winter. The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant. Half is an ordinary valley and the other half is a peach forest.

When I met Sun Yun, the monkey demon was carrying the tools and walking back from outside.
