The red lantern swayed gently in the night wind, and in the swaying light, Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist walked out of the courtyard gate of Zhang's Mansion together and walked side by side on the street in the middle of the night.

Bangbang ......

Wow Wow.......

In the quiet streets and alleys, the sound of beating and barking dogs came from afar, Lu Liangsheng looked at the stars and the moon that had sunk into the clouds, remembered the scene in Zhang's mansion just now, and sighed.

"Even if the fox demon divides half of his life to fill Zhang Liancheng's body, he doesn't have the physique to practice, and the fox demon's cultivation will be scattered in the future...... I'm afraid I can only live a few more years. ”

Sun Yingxian laughed dryly twice and said, "That's his own fault." And he was quiet.

The Taoist stared straight at the street in front of him, and after a while, he spoke again.

"If the fox demon called Rouge just now doesn't stand up, will you really damage your cultivation?"

"I knew you were going to ask. ”

Lu Liangsheng smiled, also looked ahead, carried his hands, and walked very lightly: ".....Actually, I don't know if I will do that, I wanted to provoke the fox demon at first, since she dared to take the risk to come to the Zhou Mansion for help, it should be affectionate and righteous......."

The wind blew through the streets, and the long hair that hung down on the shoulders was blown gently.

The scholar spoke calmly and shook his head.

".......But if I don't stand up, maybe I will also save the honest one, if you don't know about it, it's okay, but the person is in front of you, and you are indifferent, and your conscience is a little unbearable. ”

On the side, Sun Yingxian rubbed his face vigorously and turned his head to look at him.

"Sure enough, what your master said is right, you are a bad person, but ......"

The Taoist stretched out his hand to hook the scholar's shoulder, and laughed out loud: "But it's worth making a deep friendship." ”

The two hooked their shoulders and chatted while walking, bursting out laughing from time to time, and soon walked through the long street outside Zhang's mansion, the barking of dogs did not stop, and they were still barking wildly in the distance of the city.

Trample....

Stomp .......

Lu Liangsheng frowned, stopped talking, and looked at the street in front of him, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves accompanied by a figure on horseback rushing through the thin mist between the roads.

"It seems that the left head catcher is, chasing those two fox demons back, I don't know if they have been killed. ”

"There's no demonic energy, it doesn't seem to have killed those two foxes. ”

In the words, Sun Yingxian took out a piece of rune paper and threw it into the air, igniting flames and illuminating the comer.

Sure enough, it was Zuo Zhengyang who rode over, and he stopped at the horse with a rein, he looked at the two people in front of him, and arched his hand: "Zuo seems to have missed the good show of eliminating demons." ”

When the four long knives shook, the left head turned over, led the horse and Lu Liangsheng side by side, and shook the fox tail in his hand.

"I only had time to cut off one tail, but the two fox demons were running so fast that ordinary horses couldn't catch up at all. ”

The Taoist on the side of the street snorted on the ground.

"Nonsense, do you think it's so easy to chase that you can ride a horse to chase a mountain?"

I still remember that incident....Lu Liangsheng couldn't help laughing, walked through a fork, there were still voices of people far and near, and the stalls were still on another street late at night, steaming and fragrant.

"Zuo Catcher, why don't we have supper together. ”

Zuo Zhengyang touched his stomach: "I'm really hungry." Immediately, he made a gesture of please.

The three of them came to one of the noodle stalls, where there were many people who had supper, and a few low stools and small tables were almost sitting, and the three of them picked up the corner and sat down.

The stall was set up by an old man, busy scooping up the noodles in the pot, and looked over with a sideways face.

"Three, the old man only has pasta here..... ouch, isn't this always catching adults?

Zuo Zhengyang nodded in response, "It's okay!"

Turning back, he saw the eyes of the scholar and Taoist priest next to him, and said with a smile: "Sometimes I will come out to eat something late at night, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep, this family has been here a few times, and I am naturally familiar with it, by the way, this noodle with scallion pancakes tastes good, I recommend you two to try it." ”

"Okay, then it's the same as you!" Sun Yingxian was not polite, but beckoned to the old man.

Lu Liangsheng was not picky, so he asked for a bowl of somen noodles, but he cooked two more bowls and prepared to take them away when he left.

In public, the three of them would not talk loudly about the fox demon, but when it came to Lu Liangsheng's almost loss of cultivation to save Zhang Chengcheng, Zuo Zhengyang also felt that it was inappropriate.

"Life and death are fateful, not to mention that he caused it himself, why should you take it on your body, and besides, how many people are there in this world, can you save it?"

Over there, the old man brought the noodles over and put them on the table.

"Three slow use. ”

When the old man walked away, Lu Liangsheng picked up chopsticks, picked a cluster of noodles and blew hot air.

"That's why I want to take the exam, save people, one is to save, and ten thousand are also to save. ”

Snorting and sucking the noodles into his mouth, Zuo Zhengyang sighed and shook his head at the scholar.

"I'm afraid you want to be a saint..... don't read too many sage books, your brain will be broken!"

Sun Yingxian also raised his face and nodded in agreement.

"This time I stand on the side of the left catcher, your teacher is knowledgeable, a belly of great truth, if everyone is like him, there are no evil people and no good people, wouldn't this world become a blank slate?"

"The teacher only taught some principles of life, not as exaggerated as you said. ”

Lu Liangsheng is not angry, he also knows his character, he has been educated by reading over the years, and he has become more and more gentle, but it is not a bad thing, at least he is satisfied.

As for the examination to become an official, I also hope that in the future, more poor people can be like Lujia Village, getting richer and richer year by year, and they don't have to live that kind of hungry and full life.

Soon, after eating supper, when checking out, the old man did not accept the face money of the three of him, and Zuo Zhengyang did not let Lu Liangsheng pay.

"What are you fighting for, I'll settle the bill later, take the two bowls of noodles and hurry back, otherwise it's cold on the road." ”

"That's fine. ”

Lu Liangsheng didn't argue anymore, picked up two bowls of noodles wrapped in oilcloth, arched his hands, and went to the streets of Zhoufu with the Taoist.

As soon as the two of them left, Zuo Zhengyang took out the money bag, and there were not many bits and pieces in it.

"Old man Chen, five bowls of noodles, how much?"

"Forget it, forget it, I helped the old man last time, so I don't have to ...... this time"

When the old man said this, he suddenly let out a 'huh', quickly picked up a piece of broken silver from the side of the soup pot, rubbed it, and looked at the head catcher opposite.

"One or two, always catch, will your two friends .....?"

He looked at the two people who had just left, and hurriedly trotted out of the stall, and in front of his vision, the two ghosts on the street could not be seen.

"...... this, this, this, ....."

Chen Laohan pinched the broken silver and turned his head tremblingly, unable to speak for a few sounds, pointing in the direction of the empty people, his gray beard trembling violently.

"Always catch ..... your two friends...... It's a human being, it's a ghost......"

"Nature is human. ”

Zuo Zhengyang turned over and picked his chin at Chen Laohan: "Since you give the money, you can take it, it's best not to use it, maybe, you can also avoid evil and exorcise ghosts." ”

When the old man came back to his senses, he still wanted to ask, Zuo Zhengyang had already urged the horse to leave.

Can you still exorcise evil spirits?

Ouch..... those two are masters.

Chen Laohan hurriedly bowed to the empty long street, with his hands together on the silver.

The lights of Zhoufu are still on.

When Lu Liangsheng came back with the spell of shrinking the ground into inches, it was so quiet in the house that it was difficult to hear human voices, and the sound of insects came from time to time among the grass.

The lights in the side yard were still on, and Hong Lian sat at the door, waiting for him to come back.

"Childe, why are you the only one coming back?"

"Sun Yingxian said that he climbed over the wall faster, why, he is still slower than me?" The scholar put the pasta in his hand on the desk and tore off the oilcloth paper on it.

"Here, try it, it tastes good. ”

Nie Honglian pressed her lower abdomen, leaned over, and took a gentle sip towards the hot noodle soup that rose, the color of the pasta gradually faded, and her slightly open red lips hooked a smile, looking at the scholar.

"Much better than incense candles. ”

"From now on, I'll leave you a portion of whatever I eat. Lu Liangsheng also laughed, tore open the other bowl of oilcloth paper, and swept his gaze around.

"Where's my master?"

At this time, under the bed, the toad Taoist probed his face with a solemn expression: "What is the matter of looking for a teacher?"

"I brought Master a bowl of noodle ....."

Before Lu Liangsheng finished speaking, the toad Daoist's stomach rumbled again, and he crawled out of the bed and rushed outside, and came back after a while.

Meanwhile.

Outside the house, someone descended from the courtyard wall, and then there was an angry scolding from Sun Yingxian ......

"Who's....."

The toad Taoist who sat by the bowl and chewed noodles had a calm and breezy face.

On the side, Nie Honglian covered her mouth and chuckled, approached the scholar, and whispered:

"Master Toad, I don't know what I ate, I keep having a stomach. ”

The Taoist jumped and jumped under the eaves, scolded and scolded on the ground to polish his shoes, and then went in, and reasoned loudly with the toad, Lu Liangsheng hurriedly stepped forward and laughed and persuaded.

The lights were warm yellow, and the short shadows of people fell on the window lattices and were cast into the courtyard.

The small side yard is lively and warm.
