Ta... Ta...

despair.....

The sound of raindrops fell. In the rainy courtyard, Lu Laoshi sat under the eaves to polish his hoe. In the attic, Zhu just came back and picked up his small pants, revealing his little butt. He followed the Taoist to the room, looked back and saw that Lu Xiaoxian was not there, kicked the hen who wanted to follow the house out, and quietly closed the door.

Outside, the drizzle slid across the eaves and weaved a water curtain, and the water tank standing beside the well formed, causing ripples in circles.

In the open window lattice opposite, the Toad Taoist felt the coolness of water vapor, wrapped in the bed sheet and turned over, leaned on the couch with his butt sticking out, yawned, smacked his lips, and continued to snore.

Lu Liangsheng sat at the table, holding the book and savoring the content of the teacher's annotations in that year. Occasionally, he reached out to take the hot tea next to him and took a sip of it.

Without cultivation, if you become a national teacher, you can only rely on erudition. Whether it is magical scriptures or moral articles in the practice of Taoism, or on knowledge and moral articles, or the study of studying things that benefit the country and the people, you can only rely on your head and mouth.

Wow~

After turning the page with his fingertips, Lu Liangsheng looked at the vertical handwriting on it, and heard the sound of turning on the bed, and slightly lowered his face.

"Master, are you awake?"

"Wooah!"

Taoist Toad sat up and stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, hung his flippers out of the couch, his expression was a little confused, and he replied casually: "Yes."

Sitting there, I continued to stare blankly, looking at the back of the book, and it took me a while to come back to my senses.

"Liangsheng, my teacher decided to go to the cave that year to retreat and repair the injury as soon as possible."

"So urgent?"

"No hurry, it's been a few years now!"

Hearing the master's anxious tone, Lu Liangsheng put down the book, sat on the stool and turned around. Seeing that the master's expression was not like he was fake, he frowned slightly.

"Master is worried that those sects will come to cause trouble?"

Over there, Taoist Toad nodded, stood up on the edge of the bed, and slowly walked out two steps with the frog webbed in his arms.

"Of course, the old Taoist priest of Chengyun Sect said that it was only a temporary moment, and he would definitely come again in the future. By the way, Liangsheng agreed to the emperor and become the national teacher, and he was also planning for this matter, right?"

Seeing that the master pointed it out, Lu Liangsheng knew that he could not hide it. He nodded and sat back at the table to look at the intertwined rain curtains outside the window, the water tanks in the yard, and the old trees.

"Liangsheng just wanted to borrow the dynasty to reject them. After all, the master had done a little bit of what he did back then."

On the bed, Taoist Toad walked around on the bedding. Hearing his disciple's words, he picked up his webbeds, widened his eyes, and flashed fierceness. Thinking that the disciple was opposite, he turned his face away and hummed.

"I had just transformed my master and was still in the age of passion. When I saw your master's wife being killed, I was angry. At that time, I called the wind and rain. It was lightning and thunder, and purple air came from the east... and then I took revenge."

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door. Hong Lian walked under the eaves with two bowls of hot soup. Hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice in the room, he came in and put the soup on the table.

"Young Master, Master Toad, what are you saying? You're so excited?"

"I'm blowing... at the peak of my memories of the past!"

Taoist Toad patted his belly and signaled that there was a demon pill in his belly: "I decided to concentrate on recovering from his injuries and return to the peak..."

As he said that, he explored and smelled deeply.

“……What soup, so fragrant.”

Then he climbed onto the table, and asked the little girl to hand him a spoon, scooped a spoon and blew the heat, took a sip, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"It was boiled with black plums, and there were red date powder and wolfberry in it..." Hong Lian said with his fingers as he turned his fingers: "After boiling, when it was warm, he added a small spoonful of rice wine. How did he learn from his aunt? How delicious is it?"

Lu Liangsheng took a sip and it was sweet and sour. After savoring it, there was a little bit of the mellow aroma of rice wine that was not destroyed. In the afterglow, under the eaves on the other side, the tree demon was pulling his mother as if asking for advice. Then he looked down at the bowl in his hand, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "The master said he wanted to go into seclusion just now, but because of his grudges, he was afraid of coming to the door."

After returning, Lu Liangsheng found a time to tell Hong Lian and Mu Qiyou about the whole story of his loss of cultivation. As for the Taoist, he had already learned from Zhu Gangli.

At that time, he shouted that he would find the revenge for Lu Liangsheng, but when he heard the three words of Chengyunmen, he immediately kept silent. He thought that what he learned was related to Chengyunmen.

In the room, Nie Honglian knew that it would be a difficult task to find those sects. With her current Taoist practice, it would be good to be able to recover her body. If she used her magic power more in this matter, she would probably be waiting for her body to recover. I don’t know what time it will take.

He pursed his lips and muttered.

"This will let them find it..."

Over there, Lu Liangsheng smiled, took another sip of the mixed soup made from black plums, turned the pages of the book, and said, "How do you know that when you get off the mountain, you will meet them before you even enter the city."

However, when he said this, the scholar's smile froze. Looking at the content on the paper, he couldn't see it, and his mind buzzed.

When I thought of Mount Li, what my mother said echoed in my mind.

‘Disasters are common. When you encounter difficulties on this road, you can still remember your original intention. You can live a life of endless mountains and seas. Don’t let your predecessors down on planting trees and revolve around cause and effect.’

The mother of Lishan can know the future... Lu Liangsheng had speculation before, and now he repeatedly chewed what she said and slowly tasted something different.

The disaster is both in a state of trouble... It refers to the disaster that falls on me and my master, isn't it just a state of trouble?

...... On the way back to Chang'an, I met Chengyun's various gates. I was in a difficult situation and I still remember my original intention. My mother saw all the choices I had not made yet...

‘The mountains and seas behind it are endless... Don’t let the previous generations plant trees. What does it mean to rotate cause and effect?’

Be good at using the vast mountains and seas?!

.....

On the side, Hong Lian was still talking, but Lu Liangsheng didn't listen at all. He turned around and took out a wide and long book from under the pile of books and placed it in front of him, pulled out a long page to stare at the landscape above.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Hong Lian walked closer and looked at the painting where the scholar was staring at. It was no different from the past except for the ups and downs of mountains and rivers and the white clouds.

"There is no change above?"

“There is no change…”

Lu Liangsheng looked at it for a while, but a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Soon, in the sight of the toad Taoist sitting on the table holding a bowl of soup, the scholar walked to the bookshelf, took out the easel that had not been used for a long time, and set it up in the room.

Seeing the young master who was about to start painting again, Nie Honglian chuckled and floated over to help grind the ink and start to fight.

"Young Master, what are you going to draw?"

“Mountains and Seas…”

Lu Liangsheng spread a blank scroll, took the cover of the pen, dipped it away from the ink, and dropped it off the white paper, and slowly outlined it.

Even if he doesn't have magic power now, he doesn't think of his own painting.

The tip of the pen drags the ink and walks around, drawing green ink like smoke, the water waves roll, and in the blue smoke, drawing cliffs, rivers, rivers, and rocks. There are tortoise shells lying on top, the limbs are scales and armor are dark red, the long-necked bird's heads are long-song, and the neck is long-song.

According to memory, after the tip of the pen fell off the armor, a long snake was hooked on the tail and it seemed to resonate with birds and beasts.

"Is this a turtle?" Nie Honglian stared at the strange thing on it in confusion. When he was staring at it, he always felt uncomfortable.

Lu Liangsheng smiled, and in the corner of the painting, he used the name recorded in the book in his memory, and left the word "black turtle".

I subconsciously wanted to serve the bowl and spray a mouthful of water mist, but then I remembered that I had no magic power and could not use illusions.

Looking at the black turtle drawn on it, it was still motionless. After a while, Lu Liang put away his pen and put it on the desk in a deflated manner.

"It seems that I'm overthinking."

"Of course, you are thinking too much. If you can restore your cultivation level casually, how could those people in the Taoist practice easily let you and my master and disciple leave!"

Taoist Toad muttered, picked up the bowl and poured the last bit of soup into a big mouthful.

ton!

ton!

ton!

Hiccup—

After burping comfortably, I felt satisfied and waved the frog webbing, jumped off the table, fell, got up indifferently, crawled under the bed, and for a moment, dragged a big bag to cross the body.

"Let's go, send me to the mountain to retreat!"

"Now?" Lu Liangsheng was a little surprised.

"Not now, will the flowers bloom next spring?" Taoist Toad carried the package and pulled the black-printed gourd, and walked to the door step by step, turning back: "Don't delay, otherwise you will be unable to get out of the gate if you go to Beijing next year..."

Lu Liangsheng sighed, and did not pack up the easel. He took a paper umbrella, walked outside to spread it open, put the master on his shoulder, looked at the heavy bag in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's in it?"

"Take...well, the pills needed to repair the injury for the teacher."

Taoist Toad quickly waved his baby's webbing and almost brought out the afterimage.

"Don't look, you don't have any share!"

"Okay, don't watch it!"

Lu Liangsheng smiled, turned his head and shouted to the yard: "Everything comes out."

Standing in the rain with a paper umbrella, I saw the Taoist, Zhu Gangli, and Mu Qiyou poked his head out, and then I realized that the Toad Taoist was going to retreat on the mountain and started to rush to see him off together.

After all, it may not be seen again for several months.

We left the courtyard together in a noisy way. In the sound of rain, in the quiet room, a ray of green air floated out from the easel, spinning a few times in the air, and sank into the "Full Mountains and Seas" spread out on the table.

At the same time, Lu Liangsheng, who walked out of the village with everyone, felt a little itchy on his back...
