The foothills of the mountains are light green, and the branches and leaves all over the mountains sway gently in the wind.

The spring breeze slowly blows through the fields, the spring swallows chirp, holding the mud to and from the village, under the unfolded wings, the peasants holding the trouser legs walk across the ridges, and greet the people they know from afar, not far away A girl with a basket and a kettle crosses the ditches that are hooked out, and puts a pottery bowl on the edge of their own fields, and calls their relatives who work in the fields to come and drink saliva.

"Just come"

Lu Laoshi watched the stream slowly flowing in from his relatives' fields with mud cubes, turned around and called his wife to rest for a while to drink saliva, and also called Sun Yingxian, who was wielding a hoe in the field, to join him.

Bah, the hoe was lifted into the mud, and the Taoist raised his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, gasped, and turned his head to scream.

"Old pig, go drink water!"

The swarthy fat man put down his hoe, wiped his face with a short hexagram, went over to Lu Xiaoxian with the Taoist and sat down, took the pottery bowl and poured it.

"Where is Lu Liangsheng?"

The Taoist took the water from the girl's hand, raised his face and looked around, surrounded by villagers from Lujia Village and Beicun who were busy with spring ploughing.

After taking a sip of water, the Taoist raised his chin in one direction.

"It's time to set up the Little Spirit Gathering Array. ”

After drinking water and resting for a while, Li Jinhua, Lu Laoshi and his wife, Taoist, and Zhu Gangguan went down to the ground again, and they were all doing the work of turning over the soil and diverting water all morning. Something like that.

"Oh, that's fine. ”

'Ho-te!'

Pig Gang said a word, walked back to the field, spat into the palm of his hand, rubbed it, grabbed the hoe, "Hahe-" sounded, and chiseled into the ground.

The handle rod connecting the end of the hoe 'snapped' and broke, leaving only the bare section into the mud, which provoked Li Jinhua to chase him with the hoe.

The villagers who were working around straightened up and wiped the sweat stains on their faces to watch the scene, and they all laughed along.

......

More than ten zhang away from the river, more than a dozen men kept waving hoes shirtless, hooking the soil by the river, and diverting water to irrigate the fields.

A young man dressed in green clothes and linen, dressed simply and plainly, with his long hair simply tied, stood in the middle of the river with his trouser legs in his arms, scooped up a fist-sized oval boulder and threw it to the shore.

"Red Mercy stood farther away, careful to splash mud spots. ”

"Childe, isn't there already a Spirit Gathering Array on the mountain?" Hong Lian squatted on the shore, watching the big wet stones not far away roll, holding her chin a little puzzled.

Lu Liangsheng scoured the mud on his hands in the water, and suddenly splashed at the woman who was looking at her, causing her to raise her sleeves to cover her face, 'Oops.....' stood up softly, stomped his feet and shouted: "Childe is not allowed to make trouble!"

The scholar walked up from the river with a smile.

"Okay, I'm not going to mess with you. ”

On the river, with his feet still in the water, Lu Liangsheng sat down on the ground, took the stone and put it on his lap, with the spell carvings left over from the original arrangement.

"The one on the mountain isn't actually a spirit gathering array, this is. ”

patted the stone in his hand, poured the original spell carving on the stone, poured mana, and quickly extended along the pattern, after the entire magic pattern was lit up, it gradually disappeared, and it looked like it had changed back to the ordinary stone before.

Lu Liangsheng casually threw it back into the river, and with a pop, the splash splashed and fell, and the ripples that spread out in circles disappeared with the flow of the water, and the scholar continued:

"When the mana above is finally exhausted, I re-referenced the structure of this magic circle a few days ago, and found a way to serialize it with the Great Gathering Spirit Array on the mountain, and the energy source will continue to nourish this water and soil. ”

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the red fox, Lu Liangsheng laughed, remembering that he was also sitting by the river like this, and looked at the master suspiciously.

"Don't worry, you won't become a demon, you can only make these fish and shrimp delicious and bigger. ”

With the growth of years and experience, Lu Liangsheng faintly suspects that "Nanshui Collection" and "Qinghuai Supplemental Dream" are actually toad Taoist people picking up some of their own preferences and summarizing them together, especially in "Qinghuai Supplementing Dream", which either rejuvenates things or nourishes words, and two-thirds of the whole book feels that there is a word 'eat' in it.

Although Hong Lian said that he has been worshiped by incense from the Rakshasa ghost to the present, he does not have a deeper understanding of spells like Lu Liangsheng, and when it comes to toad Taoists, he has not seen them for many days.

I couldn't help but ask the scholar.

"Childe, what is the end of Master Toad? ”

"Two days ago, he brought food, and he didn't say when. ”

Walking along the river to the next magic circle node, the scholar stopped, stared at the water and frowned: "If the injury is successfully repaired, after leaving the customs, it should make the Spirit Gathering Array react, now..... Nothing happened. But thinking about it, with the master's concentration and the perseverance of the past cultivation, I shouldn't care about eating. ”

The sun shone through the undulating river, and a sparkling wave flowed eastward, along this westward to the mist-shrouded Qixia Mountain Grottoes.

The oil lamp was dim, and the sound of chirp and chirp sounded.

The toad Taoist mentioned in the scholar's mouth stretched out his legs straight at this time, and the big lama sat on the ground, as if he felt that someone was talking about him, turned his head, and looked around with his cheeks bulging.

'Hiccup~~'

Neck swallowed the food in his mouth hard, then he got up comfortably and hugged his heavy belly, walked to the stone bed with flippers, raised his face and stared.

In an instant, his legs tightened and kicked, and he ejected out, pulling out an afterimage...... Then, with his belly pressed against the side of the bed, he kicked his legs out of the bed and kicked them a few times before he climbed on top.

Whew.....

Sitting there panting, the toad touched the face and belly of the toad.

"It's only been a long time since I was in retreat, and I feel like I've gained a lot of weight. ”

"It may also be an old man's delusion....."

"Forget it..... Do the most important thing first. ”

Muttering to himself, the toad stood up on his knees, and ran to the wooden drawer in the innermost part of the stone bed, which was attached to the cave wall, and on the shelf above, the round thing was covered under the cloth.

The lamp illuminated the cave, reflecting the short figure carrying the frog webbed slowly approaching, the toad's mouth snorted twice, and the round frog webbed grabbed the cloth and tore it open, and threw it to the corner of the bed.

A cyan bead was placed on the shelf tray, and the dense air was swirling, fluttering slowly, and the toad Taoist took it, held it in front of him and took a deep breath.

On the demon pill, the smooth surface reflected the light of the lamp, reflecting a toad's mouth slightly open, and then grinning almost to the back of the head.

"Hmph..... Hahaha..... Aha-"

The toad held this demon pill, raised his face and opened his mouth wide and laughed wildly.

“...... There is only one last step left, the old man can finally return to the top and look at the world!!"

The sound of laughter passed through the thick mountain wall, and the woods outside were shaken, swaying wildly, and the birds and birds flew out in an instant, and the black pressure hovered on the mountainside.
