After the spring rain lasted for several days, the white water vapor spread out in the dense forest.

The old donkey happily swung its bald tail, stretched its tongue to roll up the tender grass on the ground, grabbed the toad Taoist with its two ears, and hit it with a webbing when controlling the balance.

"I told you not to learn from me, but to learn!"

In the bookshelf, Nie Honglian hummed a happy song, occasionally poked out his arm, picked the wild flowers beside the road. The cold wind blew gently, and the petals fell off, floating behind and landed on the dirty scholar's robe.

Lu Liangsheng clamped the petals in his hand with his fingertips, smiled, his steps were floating, and he followed behind him shakingly, took the gourd around his waist, unscrewed the plug, and leaned his head and poured it down.

Only the little bits of coolness melted on the tongue.

"Uh, there's no alcohol... It's not enough to open a gourd."

Murmuring to himself, Lu Liangsheng shook the wine stains twice, and there was no drop.

From outsiders' perspective, Lu Liang is just a drunken scholar, and he is even a little confused. But the toad and the female ghost on the old donkey over there know that the scholar is soberer than anyone else, but he just wants to drink constantly to numb himself.

Qu'er stopped, Hong Lian floated into the rain screen and looked at Lu Liangsheng who was stumbled away.

"Young Master, hurry up."

"Yeah, come."

Hearing the response, Nie Honglian looked at the toad on the donkey's head with some concern.

"Master Toad, will the young master be so depressed in the future?"

Compared to Hong Lian's worries, Taoist Toad does not care about his disciple's current status.

"No obstacle, you don't understand men, and your will is depressed only temporarily. Moreover, this state is a very good temper for people in practice. Once you see through and understand it, hum, it will be different. I also came here like this back then, huh."

At some point, he remembered the woman buried in a certain mountain.

...After regaining my cultivation level, it's time to go and see. I don't know if I'm still there for so many years.

After thinking for a while, the toad tied a wild vegetable on the rope, carried it with wooden branches, and led the old donkey forward, turning around and bulging the toad's eyes and urging loudly.

He came back and shook his head.

Alas, I'm so worried.

There was no idea that a ghost and a toad was drunk all the way, but Lu Liangsheng never stopped practicing. He didn't know if the practice of the righteous path of Qiankun had undergone some changes after suffering from the heavenly thunder, and he reached a bottleneck.

On the way, as he read the "Shan Hai Tu Zhi" gradually, he also gained some insights from painting and writing. This feeling made him unable to express it, but he did not read other books.

"Is it...only the book Shanhai Tuzhi can do it?"

Throwing away the chaotic thoughts, Lu Liangsheng's staggering and shaking steps were extremely steady. Even on the rugged road, he could walk on flat ground. He heard Hong Lian's voice "Hurry up."

"Here you come!"

The scholar replied, waved his cuffs, and took a little bit of his steps stained with mud. He ran forward, and the moment he jumped up, he sat horizontally on the donkey's back.

The donkey's limbs could not bear it, and it shook. The toad on its head was quick and fast. It hugged the donkey's ears and turned around and stared at it.

"Among disciple, gull."

Yes, haha, haha~~

The old donkey seemed to be able to understand, sticking out his tongue and nodding his head.

Then, the frog webbed down.

"Learn from me again!"

Hong Lian hid in the painting and chuckled, and the laughter like silver bell echoed in this mountain where the place could not be called. The mist was filled with people's voices, the sound of donkeys, the chuckling of female ghosts, and the toad's roar, passing by lively.

When I walked out of this mountain, it was already afternoon. Before the rain had stopped, the sound of river water flowing in the distance.

Following this road, you can vaguely see pedestrians, businessmen and traveling around the official road. There should be a pier crossing the river, which is too terrifying. Lu Liangsheng took out his magic to shelter from the rain, but unfortunately there was no oil-paper umbrella in the bookshelf, and the one before was still from Zhou's mansion.

"I've used to using water-avoidance techniques, but I have forgotten that there is still a paper umbrella."

The old donkey was soaked in the rain. The water vapor on the river was filled with white space. This rainy day was not suitable for ferries. Several passenger ships got off the ropes and tied them to the wooden stakes on the ferry bridge.

When Lu Liangsheng passed by, seven people were surrounding a boatman and talking.

"There is really an urgent matter, the boatman, let's do it." "...I also have an urgent matter. I haven't returned for three years, and my wife gave birth to a fat boy for me."

"That's right, boatman, you see, everyone is in a hurry to have something to do."

Among the seven people, there were four scholars dressed up, carrying bookshelf, look at me, and look at you.

"I told you not to hurry up and go, how about it now?" "Is it still blamed me? I met a vixen last night, but I wasn't it because you were so angry. As a result, the three of us had to be unable to get the exam."

"That's right, but I think the boatman makes sense. The water vapor on the river is vast and the boat is too dangerous."

"...The danger is not a monster, what are you afraid of?!"

…………

As the rambling words were heard, Lu Liangsheng looked at the backs of the four people and always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. So he went straight to the old shipkeeper and bowed.

"Boatman, I want a ferry, too."

The three people who spoke first shouted, "Old shipmaster, look, there is another deal here."

The old man with gray hair looked at the eight people in front of him, especially the scholar who led the donkey at the end, and was wet all over, as if he had walked a long way.

"This...you guys, when the water vapor is heavy on rainy days, it's really not suitable for sailing."

The old man looked at everyone hesitantly, and while he was talking, the sailboat deck behind him, shouted:

"Dad, when the water vapor dissipates, the customers have gone to other boats. How can we still have our business? I'm still waiting to get married."

well.

The boatman turned around, sighed, waved his hand to let his son lower the wooden ladder, and looked at the eight people.

"Everyone, then get on the boat."

After talking about the ship fare, the seven people walked up the wooden ladder one after another.

"Hey, I let my son talk before he starts the boat." "Don't be too careful, my father-in-law, it's better to make money."

Lu Liangsheng followed behind and took out the agreed price from his sleeve. The eight people spread it out for only 40 to 50 cents, but they paid two portions of money, and the old donkey behind him also occupied one.

After getting on the boat, there was basically nothing to say. The four scholars gathered together and whispered. They could only hear the academic matters. The other three didn't know each other. After getting on the boat, they found different places to stay.

After another while, the rain gradually became lighter. The old shipboat brought a big bowl out of the cabin. When passing by everyone, he smelled a scent of wine.

Lu Liangsheng naturally smelled it. He leaned against the side of the hatch door and opened his eyes slightly. He saw the boatman standing to the bow of the boat, kneading his hands in the bowl, and glutinous rice grains could be seen in the wine.

Among the seven people, someone asked curiously: "Boatman, what are you doing?"

"Salvation of water."

The boatman turned around and asked the young man on the boat to untie the rope. While kneading the glutinous rice and mixing the rice wine, he smiled:

"Do you guys don't know that the river is full of knowledge. If you take the risk of leaving the boat, you will give some offerings to the gods and monsters who are in charge of the river."

A scholar sat on the bookshelf, pressing his legs and laughed:

"I don't say that my son is so powerful that he is so chaotic. I am well-read in poetry and books, so how could I believe this?"

The companion next to him leaned over and whispered: "Last time, vixen..."

"roll!"

At the bow of the ship, the shipboat threw the entire bowl into the water. He heard the sound of "bang" water from the mist in the distance, and turned around with a smile.

"You scholars do not believe it, but I have been running on this river for a lifetime, and I have seen everything I should see, and I have seen everything I shouldn't see."

The few people who were free to wait for the boat to drive were probably interested and someone urged them.

"What should I not see in this river?"

"……hehe."

The boatman smiled and replied, "There are so many, but there is one thing that I will never forget in my life... When I was twenty years old, I once went out to fish with my father...

...The wind suddenly blew on the river and the fog was filled. I heard the sound of the water. Guess what? A big fish, bigger than the one we were sitting on, rushed out of the water. The waves swayed directly pushed my father and I into the water together, thinking that they were going to be eaten by monsters. As a result, the big fish ignored it at all and kept fighting in the fog."

Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes, but he was actually listening. This kind of strange story sometimes turns into a story, which still sounds very interesting.

The toad lying on the donkey's head opened his eyes and snorted coldly.

"The defeated man."

Over there, the old shipmaster's words continued.

"...So, there was an expert doing it. After injuring the fish demon, he rescued me and my father again..."

The toad closed the toad's eyes and turned aside.

"Two defeated men."

At this time, the ship's man stood at the bow and shouted: "Drive the ship!"
