    The sun rises in the east.  Fei Jianzi sat on the bluestone outside the mountain gate and looked down.  Birds and Beasts Mountain is hundreds of miles in radius. As far as the eye can see, there are white clouds, fog gathers and the fog disperses, and dense vegetation is faintly visible.  A narrow path has been submerged by weeds. No one has walked on this path for many years, so now he is still a junior.  Thirty-two years, to a monk, seems to be just a blink of an eye. Now Feijianzi still looks like a handsome young man in white, and the years have not left the slightest trace.  "But the senior brother already had gray hair on his head.  The senior brother was patrolling outside the mountain gate, inspecting the large array set up on the ground. After a while, he picked up a broken jade stone from the ground, shook his head and threw it into the bag at hand. When he saw Fei Jianzi still looking there, he urged: "  You have already said goodbye to your fellow apprentices. Go to Mengcheng as soon as possible and collect this year's jade so that I can rebuild the spirit gathering formation." "Yes, fellow apprentice," Fei Jianzi looked back at the mountain gate.  Shanmen used to be a bustling place, but by the time Jiazi came, it was already dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.  At that time, the spirit gathering formation could gather the spiritual energy of the entire Bird and Beast Mountain for their cultivation.  But now, the spiritual energy of the Bird and Beast Temple is no longer enough to supply the use of more than ten of their disciples. Due to the overload of the spirit gathering formation, more and more jade stones in the formation are being lost, so they have to go to the foot of the mountain frequently.  Mengcheng asked for jade.  This is the first time that Fei Jianzi has gone down the mountain in more than 30 years. It is because the damage to the Spirit Gathering Formation was too serious, and the other brothers had to devote themselves to the maintenance of the Spirit Gathering Formation.  The old crane at the mountain gate has not driven a car for many years. When I was putting on the reins, Fei Jianzi found that some places on its slender neck were bald. The cloud cart outside the mountain gate was also covered with dust, but now  When I went to Mengcheng, I wanted to represent the facade of Bird and Mouse Temple, so when I got up early in the morning, I cleaned the cloud car and hung it outside the mountain gate.  Boarding the cloud cart and driving up the white crane, white clouds rolled around the cloud cart, lifting the cloud cart. With a desolate crane chirp, the cloud cart carried Fei Jianzi and flew sideways toward the mountain wind.  distance.  Senior brother raised his head and looked at Fei Jianzi's back. He couldn't help but recall what his master once said about the scene of thousands of cranes soaring into the sky and luxury cars like clouds. Can this scene be repeated again?  ¡°Anyway, the view of birds and mice has been declining from generation to generation.  "Junior brother, will you be able to get enough jade if you go here?"  If not, there is not enough for the Spirit Gathering Formation to operate, where will the Bird and Beast Observation go?  Is the Bird and Mouse View destined to fail in its own hands?  A hundred years from now, what will I want to pass on to my descendants? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Watching the junior brother disappear into the clouds in the sky, the senior brother was actually crazy.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ At the southern foot of Birds and Beasts Mountain, in the shadow of the Meng River, there is a city. The city covers an area of ??several miles and is the most prosperous place for hundreds of miles around. It is called Meng City.  Today is the market in Mengcheng. Villagers within a hundred miles of the surrounding area are rushing towards Mengcheng. They pay a penny entry fee per person at the city gate. They carry various goods on their backs and queue up with hopeful smiles.  Enter the city.  Some people were reluctant to pay the penny entry fee, so they started shouting and selling outside the city gate. They were selling wonton noodles, making little clay figurines, keeping donkeys and horses, taxiing horses, selling ready-made clothes, and killing pigs and dogs.  , to name a few.  The eight-horse official road outside Mengcheng Gate was so crowded that people could only walk sideways, but it was even more lively than inside the city.  When you enter the city, there are several restaurants and inns. Opposite are a blacksmith shop, a clothing store, and a bank and grain store.  But the most famous thing in Mengcheng is the lotus-flavored steamed buns at Nanchengmen. The steamed buns can only be held in two hands. The fillings are big and the skin is thin. They are full of oil when you take a bite. They come in two packages and are wrapped in dried lotus leaves.  , tied with reeds, carrying it wherever you go, it will be fragrant all the way.  Which of the merchants who come and go does not rave about the food?  Right in front of the two tall steamers outside the door of the lotus-flavored bun shop, a man with a thin neck and a big head, with black and white pebbles on his face, was staring at the big black eyes, eagerly looking at the steamed buns in the steamer, covering his hands with his hands.  He opened his mouth, but he couldn't stop his saliva from flooding the golden mountain, dripping to the ground.  He has been standing here for half an hour.  The bun seller finally couldn't help it anymore: "Where are your adults?" Xiao Shitou pointed behind him, his eyes still focused on the big bun.  Opposite is an alley. Behind the alley, there is a lot of entertainment and entertainment.  And at this corner, there is a small bookshop, which combines vulgarity and elegance, facing the long street.  The facade is small, with only bookshelves on four sides. The bookshelves are filled with bound books of various colors.  "Thank you, boss." Zi BaifengAfter finally settling the matter of printing the Legend of White Snake, he bowed his hands, took the few ingots of silver prepaid by the boss, stretched out his robe sleeves, and walked out the door.  Although he had money buried in the yard and jade under the bluestone, he couldn't get it out or spend it. Life was always tight and he had to find some way to make money.  Although the small bookstore has a small appearance, the boss is the leader of Mengcheng's cultural market, and most of the money is behind the scenes rather than in front of people.  "Brother!" When he heard Zi Baifeng coming out, Little Shitou immediately jumped up and looked at him eagerly. If someone put a tail behind him, it must be wagging back and forth at this time.  "Meat buns, I promise you." Zi Baifeng smiled and walked to the restaurant opposite, took out ten cents and handed it over, saying: "Ten meat buns, two should be wrapped in double lotus leaves."  The waiter quickly wrapped the meat buns two by two, added a layer of lotus leaves to one of them, put it in a straw net bag, and handed it to Zi Baifeng.  "Shenghui ten cents, ten big lotus-flavored pork buns, please take them!" The waiter greeted skillfully, "I'm sorry, everyone, the buns were rounded by this customer These are the only ones for today, please come early tomorrow.  , thank you! "Zi Baofeng slapped away the dirty hand that was reaching towards Roubaozi, and wiped his palm with a handkerchief. The white cloth turned into darkness in an instant. When he was helpless, the fat boss of the book shop  He stretched out his hand with a smile, holding a ladle filled with water.  The clear water drew an arc in the air, and the hands of the big and small were rubbing in the water, and there was a burst of hearty laughter.  The big buns from Lotus Buns Shop fill your mouth with oil when you take one bite, making you want to swallow them with your tongue.  Zi Baifeng had just finished eating one when he saw that the two little stones opposite him had already finished their meals. They were looking at him eagerly. He shook his head and smiled. He opened the buns in his hands and handed over half of them.  After eating half of the buns in his hand, Zi Baifeng put the remaining six buns in his straw bag, handed them to Xiao Shitou, and said: "I have to visit a few friends. You go and deliver the buns to my father."  "Four are for my father and two are for my aunt. Don't eat them secretly." "I know!" Xiao Shitou replied loudly, hugged the net bag, and turned around to run away.  "Slow down, don't fall!" Zi Baifeng shook his head helplessly. This little guy must be planning to eat another half of the bun from his father. I really don't know how his little belly can eat so much.  Although half a bun was in his stomach, he seemed to be even hungrier. It was the time when Zi Baifeng was growing up and eating strong food. How could one and a half buns be enough?  But these were the only lotus-flavored steamed buns left, so Zi Baifeng made up his mind to find someone to eat with!  Today is the bimonthly market in Mengcheng. Since last night, Xiao Shitou has been clamoring to go to Mengcheng to play. Zi Baifeng knows that all excuses are false. Xiao Shitou misses his wife.  It just so happened that Zi Baifeng also had many things to do, so he planned to bring Xiao Shitou to Mengcheng.  Zijian was worried that the two brothers would come to Mengcheng by themselves, and they also had a restless temper, so he brought his own carpentry and masonry tools and followed him.  Along the way, the journey was long and the weather was hot, but Zi Baifeng was exhausted, so he began to think about building a post station in Xiayan Village no matter what. Even if there was no post station, he would still have to drive a carriage. This kind of  He had had enough of the days when transportation basically relied on walking.  Just when he was thinking this, Zi Baifeng suddenly heard an exclamation coming from outside. He turned around and found that everyone was looking up at the sky, so he also raised his eyes.  Zi Baifeng also opened his mouth wide.                                                            .  Shouting: "The Immortal is coming, the Immortal is coming!" Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums came from the front. Several officials were shouting in front, driving the people away, and several village heroes who were beating gongs and drums were shaking their heads.  He raised his head to the sky.  Under the protection of the local brave officers, a snow-white crane was walking forward on two slender legs. Behind the crane, a cloud cart shrouded in mist carried a group of people.  A young man wearing a Taoist robe looked down at all living beings.  Xiao Shitou emerged from the crowd, with one hand protecting the bun in his arms, and the other hand desperately supporting his knees. He looked up from below, and saw the two long legs of the big crane, which were taller than a man, swinging beside Guan Chai.  Swinging back and forth, the cloud cart behind the crane actually had no wheels.  "Wow!" Little Shitou's eyes suddenly lit up. If this big crane were made into meat buns, how many meals could it eat?  "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Seeing that the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, there are still people in the cloud car escaping the smoke.??, breathing greedily, as if intending to get involved in the immortal energy, the officials were anxious, the city guard was waiting outside the gate to greet him, keeping the adults waiting for a long time or making the immortal impatient would be a serious sin of losing one's head!  They raised the sticks in their hands and beat them around. There was an ouch sound, and the crowd crowded again, pushing each other.
