Chapter 185: A Toad Daoist with a Complicated Mood
Da Da Da ......
The sound of horses' hooves is getting farther and farther away, inside and outside this dilapidated courtyard, everyone looks at me, I look at you, and finally looks at the old man.
"Shang Shu, what happened just now, I was offended a lot, how is it good now?"
"Yes, if the protector is a monster, then isn't Your Majesty in danger?!" "Let's go back too?"
"Wouldn't going back put my family's Shangshu to death?"
While the guards were talking to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City, the old man sat on the stone bench and was silent for a long time, raising his head to look at the white clouds, and occasionally one or two birds flew past his sight.
It was unwise to follow Zuo Zhengyang back to the capital in a hurry, and the old man had not lost his mind to that extent.
"Let's go, go to Qixia Mountain!"
Soon, the group hurriedly packed up, turned on their horses and returned to the east, remembering the road in their memory, and headed in the direction of Riverdale County.
"Let's go!"
"Drive!" "Quick, keep up!"
The horse's hooves rolled up long smoke from the road to the sound of a galloping forward, and the road beneath their feet stretched east, and the same team was rounding Riverdale.
On the way, they met a funeral team, and they were returning to the city after the burial, Sun Yingxian and Min Yuerou had to retreat to the side, wait for them to pass, and rest on the side of the road.
"Daoist Sun, how high is Gongzi Lu's Dao cultivation, can he win against the protector of the country in the capital?"
Along the way, Min Yuerou was probably familiar with this person, and she spoke relatively casually.
Beside him, watching the white flags fluttering and the paper money flying all over the sky, Sun Yingxian raised his hand to brush away a piece of flying yellow paper, and suddenly grabbed it back and stuffed it into the cloth bag around his waist.
"If you can't beat ..... you can't beat ....."
Immediately, a smile appeared on the face of the sharp-beaked monkey, his fingertips wiped his mustache, and he turned his head to look at the woman: "But this way is different, this way is specialized in subduing demons and exorcism, just like ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters, it is as easy as drinking water." ”
"Na Na Na ..... just like now, if this way didn't take care of you, he would have escaped to the ends of the earth a long time ago, how could he be as slow as he is now. ”
Halfway through the funeral procession between the roads, the white flags fluttered, and the Taoist vaguely saw a familiar woman, wearing linen and wearing filial piety and holding a child walking in the middle, sobbing quietly.
The boastful words stopped, frowned, and then looked closely at the side face of the woman who was about to pass, and understood.
Isn't this the fox demon rouge...... It seems that Zhang Liancheng is still dead. ’
"Dao Chief?"
At this time, Min Yuerou's voice sounded on the side, "It's almost time to rest, it's time for us to go, right?"
The Taoist came back and nodded hurriedly, no matter whether that Zhang Liancheng died or not, it had nothing to do with him, but there were still important things to do now, and when everyone was ready and looked back, the funeral procession was already far away.
The group re-embarked on the road, along the direction to Fulinzhou, all the way non-stop, and some Taoists from time to time marked their horses with magic talismans, which was much faster than when they came before.
While the horse was galloping, Min Yuerou saw a familiar place, pointed ahead and shouted to the passerby:
"Ahead is the intersection where my father and I are separated!"
Along the front of this road, the mountains are winding, and among the forests on one side, a horse team is resting there, and the nine people who came here suddenly slowed down, first approached vigilantly, and then when they saw the old man led by the other party, Min Yuerou's face suddenly turned into a smile, and the horse ran over.
"Daddy!"
Over there, the old man naturally saw the woman running on the horse, and squeezed away the people in front to meet him: "Yuerou, can you be wronged on the way?"
"Nope. ”
Min Yuerou wiped the corners of her eyes, and when she saw that her father was fine, she was naturally happy in her heart, "Why is Dad here, and why are there so many more people?"
She looked behind the old man and saw more than a dozen people, all dressed in official uniforms.
"Dad has just arrived here, and they are Zuo Zhengyang's people. ”
Zuo Zhengyang?
On the ground, the soil suddenly broke open, and a head came out, startling the surrounding guards and the people of the Imperial City Arrest Division, and the old man saw that it was Sun Yingxian, and hurriedly waved his hand to let them not panic.
"Where is Zuo Zhengyang?" the Taoist wiped the dirt from his face and glanced at the crowd in front of him, "Why isn't he there?"
The old man took out a silk handkerchief and handed it over: "He went back to the capital first, I haven't seen him for a long time, right, Liangsheng?"
Later, he walked slowly, but it is estimated that he will go directly to the capital. ”
Hearing the words of the Taoist, Min Changwen nodded: "Cultivators, do do things like this. ”
On the side, Min Yuerou told the truth of the matter, and the matter on the old man's side was combined, but it made the three of them a little tricky, originally Sun Yingxian came to save Min Changwen, but now that he is here, then his matter will be done, if he wants to go back, Lu Liangsheng is afraid that he is already on the way to the capital at this time.
..... to go or not to go to the main way?
Will this father and daughter go again?
"I am a court official....... if I don't go, I will be ashamed of this official robe. ”
The sun poured down, fell on the old man, got on the horse's back, turned around, faced the north, his long beard was white, caressed in the wind, and then, looking at the Taoist, and his daughter, he smiled.
"Uncle Hua is not afraid of death, and the old man is not afraid, go!"
clamped the horse's belly, urged the horse to run, and everyone in the rear also got on the horse one by one and raised their whips, and followed behind with Min Yuerou to chase after them.
"Hey, I really don't know whether to live or die!"
The Taoist stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and sacrificed his escape technique, burrowed into the ground, and lifted up a small dirt bag to spread rapidly.
......
Fulin Prefecture is much more prosperous than Hegu County, and business travelers can be seen coming and going on the official roads, and there are also nearby farmers who are idle and come to the city in groups to find some manual work to earn some silver money for the expenses of the second half of the year.
On the road leading to Tianzhi in the north in the distance, when a group of fast horses galloped, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but the speed of the old donkey was too terrifying, and he chose a relatively few mountains.
The trail is rugged, but fortunately, the speed has not decreased much.
"Appeal ....."
After Fulinzhou, the sky slanted down, Lu Liangsheng looked at the sun slanting to the west, stopped the old donkey, and let it go to the vicinity to eat some tender grass by himself, the scholar walked under a tree, and his hand brushed the ground, attracting a gust of wind to blow away the leaves and dust.
Then he sat down, took out the dry food from his sleeve pocket, broke it, and looked at the bookshelf on the ground.
"Master, it's time to eat. ”
The small door of the compartment creaked open, and the toad man came out and stretched his waist, smacked his lips and dragged a small cigarette gun to sit next to the apprentice, took the dry food and held it in his arms, and yawned.
Looking at the scholar's handsome face, chewing dry food while flipping through the scroll, Toad's eyes blinked, remembered some things in the past, threw the Moon Hazy Sword hanging on the bookshelf, was silent for a moment, and sighed heavily.
"Master, what's the matter, this dry food is not to your taste, then I will set up a small pot to cook for you. ”
Seeing Lu Liang get up, the toad Taoist suddenly stretched out his webbing and put it on the apprentice's knee.
"Good life...... As a teacher, you still don't want to go to the capital. ”
