Qiufeng swept the fallen leaves in front of the door, yawned against the waiter in the restaurant at the door, and turned around with his cuffs.

"Shopkeeper, business has been getting worse and worse in the past two days, and people on the street can't see it."

The shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus at the counter raised his gaze from the account book and glanced at the beard on his upper lip.

"There are so many strange things in the year of disaster..."

After saying that, he moved his mouth to the clerk and signaled him to the room on the second floor.

"Go and let the scholars and Taoists come out to eat and try to arrange the expensive ones."

"It's still the shopkeeper who will find a way."

The waiter put on a rag and ran up to the second floor, knocking on the door: "Young master, it's almost noon, why not come down with the Taoist priest for dinner? Today, there are a few more fresh dishes in the store, including tender lamb legs, salt-roasted goose, and fat oil, which is delicious..."

After talking for a long time, there was no response.

The waiter frowned, reached out and pushed it, and with a creaking sound, the door opened inside.

The room was empty, with no figure. The bookshelf placed in the corner of the wall disappeared. The bedding was neatly folded, and there was a sixty-month room fee on the round table.

"Leave?"

The guy looked around, sneaked a few pieces into his sleeves, and ran downstairs with the pile of copper coins.

"Shopkeeper, they checked out, give it, this is the room money."

The copper coins slammed at the counter. The shopkeeper glanced at him, hummed Xiaoqu and shook his head and walked to the side. Then the shopkeeper behind him exclaimed lightly.

"This scholar can settle accounts and pay a lot of money."

The guy who walked away quickly touched the bag in his sleeves, which was flat and flat, and nothing was left.

...

At this time, the autumn day outside the city was withered and yellow. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey and walked across the west side of the city. On the road to the northwest, the toad was lying with his legs raised, lying in the bookshelf compartment, listening to the opera in the scroll next door, and humming.

Sun Yingxian was like a wild dog that let go of the rope and jumped around. He climbed up a nearby tree and found a bird's nest. However, he grabbed a snake from it, nailed it to death quickly, peeled off the skin quickly, and stuffed it into a leather bag.

"I'll get you something delicious later!!"

Smelling the bloody smell, the toad held up his upper body, poked out of the compartment and took a look: "Is it a frog again?"

"It's autumn, and there are no frogs." The Taoist opened the leather bag a little and exposed the snake's head. "At this time, of course, I have to eat this kind of thing, it's very good to make up for it."

Taoist Toad nodded: "Go and see if there are any birds. Come with a dragon and phoenix soup. Remember to add onion and ginger to make the taste!"

"Okay, you can see that when the time comes."

The Taoist pulled the skin bag and ran away excitedly. Then, he stopped and tilted his head: "What are you doing when I listen to the old toad like this?"

later.

Sometimes gentle and sometimes resentful operas were heard in the bookshelf. Lu Liangsheng knew that this was deliberately sung by Hong Lian to relieve his mood.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has something in his mind, but Lu Liangsheng doesn't say anything, Hong Lian doesn't ask randomly, and try not to disturb him, and helps the scholar relieve his mood.

After walking for a while, the song "Hongmen Visits to Relatives" stopped, and Hong Lian asked quietly in the painting:

"Young master, does it sound nice? Do you want to continue?"

Lu Liangsheng walked in front without looking back, looking at the drowsy Qiuri ahead, and smiled and said, "No, singing songs in broad daylight will be bad for you."

At this time, the Toad Taoist came in.

"Sing, I am in the mood for a long time. I have never experienced the wonders of the world when I practiced. Looking back now, I am at a disadvantage."

These words made the scholar and the female ghost laugh. Lu Liangsheng put down the thoughts in his mind for the time being, looked back at the bookshelf with a smile, and touched the donkey's head with his hand.

The old donkey hummed and screamed, and he joked:

"By the way, Master, what did you look like at your peak?"

"Hmph...that's something you can't imagine."

The toad was excited, and sat up with one thrust, put his feet outside the compartment and hung them. He held his webbed to look at the roadside where he passed, and nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"How powerful and so powerful was my master back then, the mountains, rivers and rivers were trembling under my feet. All the elites of several major sects came out and surrounded me. It was crowded with people and magic weapons blocked the sun..."

As the word "Sun" fell, suddenly the voice of Sun Yingxian came from ahead.

"There is someone lying here!!"

The old donkey stopped instinctively, pushed his inertia, and hugged the toad with his webbed eyes and narrowed his eyes and hit it directly. The frog web climbed the edge of the compartment and almost fell off.

"Luckily, I'm prepared."

"Master, please wait a moment, I'll go and take a look."

At this moment, Lu Liangsheng finished speaking, loosened the reins and ran quickly towards the Taoist. The old donkey ran to the side of the road without any restrictions. The bookshelf shook suddenly, and the hanging short figure flew out, and with a snap, it fell to the ground and twitched slightly.

On the other side.

When Lu Liangsheng was walking around, Sun Yingxian was squatting on the ground with a branch, stretching out to the front, poking around on a stolen figure on the ground.

"This guy seems to be the guy from the inn we have stayed in."

"It's him."

Lu Liangsheng looked into his nose and breathed evenly. He turned over the face and confirmed that he was another friend of Yuelai Inn. When he was taking a shower yesterday afternoon, the waiter who fetched water complained, and suddenly quit his job and ran away, saying, "The toad speaks..."

The Taoist poked the branch with a little puzzled: "This guy doesn't seem to have any illness, why are he sleeping here?"

"Just send him back to the inn."

The scholar naturally was worried about leaving people in the wilderness. Although it was an official road in the suburbs, it was not safe. Just as he was about to lift him up with the Taoist, the sleepy figure suddenly sat up.

"Don't touch me, don't touch me, you have to leave quickly, I won't go back."

The man looked sick, and his hands were quick and his feet ran away quickly, and he pulled a distance and shouted at Lu Liangsheng and Taoist.

"You two should go away quickly. If you don't take me, then I will continue to wait for the next group of people.........................................................?!"

Ah yelled, turned around and ran away.

The Taoist stepped on his feet, reached out and grabbed his shoulder and pulled it back, widening his eyes.

"Which is playing with monkeys, I want to escape after I teased?"

The originally dull mood was interrupted by this interruption, which made Lu Liangsheng feel a little more relaxed. He was a little curious about the waiter pretending to be sick and lying on the ground just now.

"You are the clerk of Yuelai Inn. I know, you ran away suddenly when you heard the toad beside me?"

The matter was exposed, and the gang looked at the scholar tremblingly, and looked at the road, and saw black shadows slowly rising up on the ground.

His whole body trembled even harder, so he carefully asked the scholar in front of him.

"..... The toads are talking. Am I still running away? Two of them are thin and thin, and there are not a few kilograms of meat. Can you let me leave...? "

Ordinary people will basically never encounter such a thing in their entire lives. It is normal to encounter it suddenly, and it is scared like this.

"The toad you mentioned?"

Lu Liangsheng followed his eyes and looked at the road. The master seemed to stretch his muscles and bones in the autumn sunshine, and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, he won't harm you. This Taoist priest and I are human."

Naturally, my relationship with the toad would not be told to an outsider. I would explain it a few more words, which made him feel relieved.

Then, I also knew that the guy in the shop was named Wang Tianshi. When asked why he was pretending to be sick here, he was a little uneasy in front of the two of them. He rubbed his palms with cold sweat and said carefully:

"If you pretend to be sick, if you meet a kind-hearted person, you may be taken to the road together, and you may have something to eat and drink, and you may be able to do some errands... The two, the young ones have never done anything bad, let me go... The village is haunted, and they come out to make another way to make a living..."

Back on the road, a business trip out of the city passed by the three of them and cast curious eyes.

A white scholar's robe was stroking in the wind. Lu Liangsheng picked up a toad from the ground and put it on the donkey's head. He turned his face to look at Wang Tianshi who was uneasy.

“Haunted?”

When the Taoist heard this, he became interested: "Male ghosts or female ghosts? I am a Taoist priest, and catching ghosts is a specialty."

"cocoa….."

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he hooked Wang Tianshi's shoulder and walked forward.

"Let's go, don't say much. If you don't charge for this road, tell me where your village is?"

"It is often more than a hundred miles northwest to leave here..."

The guy in the shop raised his finger and went in one direction, saying:

"But... I don't want to go back..."

Behind, Lu Liangsheng looked at the two people in front, smiled, led the old donkey, and shouted: "Master, sit firmly."

It would be fine if I didn't say it, but when I heard this, the Toad Taoist's face sank and the frog's webbing was stretched out.

"Finding a rope for the teacher, I must tie it around my waist."
