The night wind whimpered and ran through the eaves, squeezed into the crack of the door in the gap, the oil lamp swayed, and the full stove, the white old hens were sleeping in the pile of firewood, and no one in the room spoke, all the sound of chopsticks touching the bottom of the bowl.

Swish and several chopstick shadows rose and fell, and the fat wild boar meat piled up on the plate. After a moment, I saw the bottom of the plate. Lu Laoshi leaned on the back of the chair with satisfaction and patted his stomach.

"Ah... I haven't eaten wild game in the mountains for a long time."

On the other side, Lu Xiaoxian bit her big mouth, and Li Jinhua knocked her chopsticks down. She chewed her little bite and quietly gave her mother a blank look. She saw Taoist holding a bowl and staring at the plate of fat left.

"Why don't you eat?"

Sun Yingxian looked at the fatty oily layer, his scalp looked away with numbness, and turned to pick up a vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I will avoid meat today, so I won't eat it."

"It's strange." Lu Xiaoxian curled his lips. Seeing Li Jinhua, who had gone to the stove to wash the pot, he quickly picked up a vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth to bury his head.

Opposite, Lu Liangsheng gently put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "You're ready to eat." He got up and helped clean up the bowls and chopsticks, opened the door and walked out, followed the eaves and returned to the room. He flicked his fingers and the dim flame illuminated the room.

On the side of the head of the bed, the Toad Taoist lay on his back beside his pillow, swaying in the air with a small short leg in his hand. He held a piece of half fat and half thin wild boar meat in his webbing.

Seeing his apprentice come in, he wanted to say a few words, but the scholar had taken a few books and sat quietly under the oil lamp to read. With the sound of paper turning, Taoist Toad opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of wild boar into his stomach, touched his bloated belly, and sat up with his short legs.

Standing on the edge of the bed, looking at the back of the book, sighed, slowly descended to the ground along the edge of the bed, walked to the door and sat down, held up, looked at the lively laughter in the kitchen, turned around and looked at the half-moon above.

squeak……

At the door of the stove, the Taoist poked his head out and saw the old toad sitting under the eaves and coming quietly.

"Have you been driven out by your apprentice?" he whispered.

The toad ignored him, the Taoist turned his sight and carefully looked into the room. In the slightly opened door gap, the shaking range of the lights, and his handsome and quiet side face, focusing on turning over the pages.

"Sure enough, it's a little better than this road."

"I don't know shame."

The Toad Taoist spitted him with a slap, "You can see this?"

"You said Lao Lu had something to worry about."

Sun Yingxian, who withdrew his gaze, squatted down from the side and touched his chin with a short beard: "I feel like he is in a good mood today."

The toad glanced at him and said lightly: "That's a bad thing."

Immediately, I sighed and looked up and continued to look at the moonlight.

"Liangsheng has always been doing his mentor's affairs, and he feels guilty. I am a person who has experienced it and has seen more monks than you have ever seen."

After saying this, he sighed again, and stood up with his webbed legs.

"I'd better come and help him. I have to be worthy of the word "Master".

Taoist Toad asked Sun Yingxian to go to the kitchen and not let others come out, and disturb him from casting spells. When he saw the Taoist standing there, he had no intention of leaving, he walked over and jumped up and hit him in the knee.

"I don't want you to spy on the casting of spells, go in quickly."

"Yes, let's go now."

Seeing the Taoist returning to the kitchen reluctantly, the toad looked at the warm yellow lights from the window frames with her double webbeds, and swayed to the eaves, and the bumps on her back gradually became piqued.

Release a faint purple smoke.

....

In the room, the night wind squeezed into the window and the oil lamp shaking. Lu Liangsheng reached out to block it to avoid being blown out. After a moment, his brows frowned slightly.

Suddenly, the wind became louder and a familiar sound came in from the window.

"Liangsheng...

Liangsheng….”

Mentor Lu Liangsheng raised his head, and the window frame was pushed away by the wind. The old trees in the yard rustled. The old man who passed away was wearing a gray robe and stood in the moonlight holding a scroll in his hand.

In the room, the scholar walked out. He was a practitioner of Taoism and naturally knew ghosts and gods. He would not be frightened when he saw the old man's soul, but would only be happy. He quickly bowed his hand to see him, just like before.

"Liangsheng, I've met my mentor."

"No need to be polite." "Wang Shuhua" shook slightly, stretched out his hand to lift it, showing a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and Liangsheng has lost a lot of weight."

Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly when he saw his coming, but he still said, "The students traveled to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and slept in the open air. They did have some clearance, but they were not hindered. Isn't this so energetic?!"

"hehe….."

Over there, "Wang Shuhua" chuckled, tilted the books in his hand, and invited the scholar to walk slowly in the yard.

"Although I die, I know that Liangsheng was not what I just said."

The words paused, lowered the book and put it behind him, and continued, "Liangsheng, you don't have to blame yourself. Although you are a teacher, your soul has not been destroyed. What's more, you have been blessed with the grace of the City God of Heaven. You have taken a small position in Gongcao in the Reward Shansi. You will come here today and tell you."

On the side, the walking steps suddenly stopped. When "Wang Shuhua" turned around in surprise, the scholar behind him stretched out his arm and hugged him on his shoulder.

"Master, forget it, you'd better stop pretending."

Well…..

"Wang Shuhua"'s face was stunned, and the surrounding illusions suddenly dissipated. The insects roared again in the corner. As the rustling branches swayed, Lu Liangsheng picked up the toad Taoist on the ground and put it on his shoulder and walked back under the eaves.

"Why did you find out that it was for the teacher?" The toad sat on the disciple's shoulder and couldn't help but speak, "I think it's seamless?"

“There are two points.”

Lu Liangsheng waved his sleeves and whipped it on the ground casually, sitting down, showing two fingers.

"My mentor's walking posture is not like my master."

A finger is bent.

"Second, there are no Gongcao in the City God Temple... Also, does Master forget that Liang Sheng is best at illusion?"

The toad was stunned for a moment, and for a long time, smacking his lips.

"You can't let your teacher prepare more and enjoy yourself?"

Looking at Master Toad, there was actually one thing that Lu Liangsheng didn't say, that was the demonic energy. Since he formed the golden elixir, he has been very sensitive to the demonic energy...

After a while, he spoke again, with a smile on his face.

"I know why Master did this, don't worry, Liangsheng has a way to deal with that Dharma Master."

"You are just a golden elixir, and you can't even break it and seek your life to the Sanskrit sound!"

When talking about this toad Taoist, he was a little reluctant to give this bad disciple avenge the old scholar, and he was so angry that he hugged his double webbed and turned around.

"What are you doing? You are led by your master when you enter the Tao, and you can't even be a master. How can you have a way!"

"Master."

Lu Liangsheng could feel the concern in his master's tone, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and smiled and said, "That Dharma Master worshipped the Buddha and killed me. I went against the way and congratulated me on my death. Why can't I give it a try?"

Seeing that he could not move his apprentice, Taoist Toad shook his head, jumped off his shoulder and walked into the house, looking up at the oil lamp on the table.

"It's up to you."

The clear moon was covered by the clouds, and the stretching mountains were soaking in the darkness, on the official road north of Fushui County, fire dragons spread, horse hooves swept over, and flags were waving in the flames.

"drive--"

The loud shout sounded for a moment, and the words resounded on the horse's back.

"The infantry behind speed up their pace. Your Majesty has an order to encircle Qixia Mountain!!"
