After the Lanruo Temple, where I used to stay overnight, I arrived in the north of Shangyong County, and it rained heavily.

The road to Chang'an became muddy and difficult to walk, and the forest was full of the sound of rain hitting the leaves, Lu Liangsheng drove the mana, and the surrounding grass and trees flew to build a pergola against a big tree.

The old donkey lay horizontally in the innermost part, the bookshelf was placed on one side, and a small bonfire was lit, and the king sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, pinching his fingers and reciting words in his mouth.

Throwing a dead branch into the fire, Lu Liangsheng listened to the sound of rain and thunder outside, holding the scroll and turning the pages quietly, the toad Taoist lay on the hem of his uncovered robe, his webbed pillows behind his head, one leg trembling around, and he closed his eyes and leisurely hummed the song that Hong Lian had sung at the beginning.

"The first time I saw Lang Jun look at the door...... I still remember the smoke and rain of my previous life.....

Put on that robe and end the bowl to ask for fate.... Hum a long ......"

It seems that he forgot the latter words, hummed and chirped for two paragraphs, and the toad Taoist let out a long sigh happily: "I miss the little girl and the ghost singing songs for the teacher, and I shouldn't have been in the world in the first place, so it is better to mix in the world, have a full stomach, and listen to the wonderful music of the world." ”

Suddenly speaking, Lu Liangsheng raised his eyes, and saw a few birds outside the grass shed flying in wet and landing on the outstretched branches, the scholar smiled at them, the sleeves of the robe flicked, the wet feathers gradually dried, and the four birds jumped their claws up and down excitedly up and down in the shed, looking at the scholar over there curiously.

Ignoring the birds in the forest, Lu Liangsheng lowered his gaze and fell to the page, the faint aura contained gentleness, so that the birds and birds unconsciously approached, standing on the scholar's shoulders and legs, and the verdant chirping, even the toad demon lying between the robes did not feel afraid.

The pages of the book turned over one page at a time, and Lu Liangsheng suddenly opened his mouth and asked the toad who was humming a tune.

"Master, you said that the white-robed Langjun is an old man, so what kind of demon is he?"

"A demon is a demon, what do you do so clearly?"

The toad man stiffened suddenly, sat up, smacked his lips, flippers turned over the edge of the robe, and looked at the water curtain hanging from the grass shed, and the toad's eyes were about to narrow into a slit.

"Anyway, you can't touch the northwest in the past. ”

The scholar closed the book, but he became interested, looked at the small back of the master sitting, and said with a smile: "Just ask, since it can be compared with the master, it must also be a big demon." ”

The last two paragraphs of these words made the toad Daoist feel quite comfortable, and he bowed his head slightly.

"Hehe, how can it be compared, I think I saved his life as a teacher, and when he was crisscrossing three mountains and five mountains, he was still running around in the sand......"

Speaking of Xingtou, he jumped down from the hem of his robe, and there was a light sound of 'pop', Lu Liangsheng hurriedly put down his robe and got up, and the toad Daoist quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust, and shook his butt with his hand and walked to the door of the grass shed.

"This demon is a little worse than the teacher, but it is also very powerful, and among the demons in the northwest, it is also counted as the existence of the second. ”

Lu Liangsheng raised the corners of his eyebrows, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the first?"

Over there, the diminutive toad turned its face slightly sideways and waved its web.

"Naturally, it's a teacher!"

When the word 'teacher' fell, the king who pinched his fingers and read words on the fire over there was half blind, suddenly slapped his knee and shouted.

"Good!"

The conversation between the master and apprentice stopped, and Qi Qi turned his head to look over, the old man felt the four eyes, and quickly got up Lu Liangsheng arched his hand, and then bowed to the toad Taoist.

"Master, master, Cheng En was abrupt, just now pinched his fingers and calculated the situation of his junior and younger brothers, and found that it was mostly auspicious, and if he wanted to go back and forth, it was inevitable that the senior officials would return to the court, and Cheng En would like to move into Beijing ....."

In a moment of excitement, he almost said everything in his heart, Wang half-blindly stopped his words, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he almost said that the master mistakenly thought that the old man was a person who coveted wealth and wealth.

Lu Liangsheng over there was not a young man who had just come out of Qixia Mountain, so he didn't know what he meant, but he didn't care, but he didn't care about his technique of observing qi and astrology.

"Cheng'en, although this technique can be used to observe the number of good luck and evil, but it cannot be extrapolated in detail, some things, the way of heaven has its own cause and effect, and if you peep too much, it will only make the originally normal things in the back become vague and produce variables!"

It is not easy to practice, not to mention that the old man is so old, when he accepted apprentices that day, Wang Chengen was also regarded as a teacher, so he was naturally regarded as a disciple of Lu Liangsheng, how could he favor one over the other.

"You cultivate too late, and you learn more of the art of observing qi and astrology, the future life may be short, but don't covet glory, more points to the lost, confused people, accumulate yin virtue, you can't say that you can prolong life, go through the calamity to achieve positive results, remember not to do things that damage yin virtue....."

The toad Taoist looked at the apprentice's teaching, dragged the money seal with long sleeves, walked to the bonfire, lazily lay down, and closed his eyelids slightly.

"And learn from your old pedant, and preach to others. ”

The wind and rain fell down the forest, the branches and leaves of the grass shed swayed, and they couldn't stop for a while, the bonfire was warm, and the toad roadman yawned boredly on one side.

Lu Liangsheng re-held the bookshelf, savored the classic stories, stopped in the shed, a few birds landed on the old man's messy hair, combed their feathers and huddled together to peck each other softly, occasionally, quietly listening, the sound of scholars reading over there.

......

"Hurry, there's a straw hut over there!"

"Ouch, luckily it was in a rainy place. ”

On the muddy path, a carriage ran over the muddy water, the driver of the carriage, and a few young people on horseback came not far away, several people were soaked, trembling and turning off the horse's back, pointing to the grass shed over there and shouting into the carriage, a moment, the curtain was lifted, three women holding paper umbrellas to help each other down, carrying skirts and running in the rain with the four young people to the grass hut over there.

"What are you guys doing in the car?!"

"Yes, it doesn't rain in the car. "How did Brother Chengwen speak, how could he let the three girls be with the coachman!"

"Hey, there's someone in the hut!"

When the four young men who ran forward were talking to the women behind them, one of them suddenly spoke, and a group of seven people saw a grass hut, with a bonfire, an old man with messy hair, a scholar in a white robe, and an old donkey in the innermost, with a bookshelf next to it.

"This brother, is it convenient for me to wait in to shelter from the rain?"

Some of the seven people were quite polite and opened their mouths first, but before Lu Liangsheng could speak, the other person who spoke first grabbed the conversation and fanned a few birds in the shed with a wave of his sleeves.

"Brother Chengwen, the grass shed is standing on the side of the road, and it is not his, what do you care, look at the number of double tens, you have not yet been lifted, and you are just a down-and-out scholar, and you can't afford to be polite to me. ”

Lu Liangsheng's brows furrowed, and when he looked at the seven wet men and women, behind the four young men in front of him, one of the three women, a woman wearing a cyan lotus dress, saw the face of the scholar opposite, and her pretty face suddenly smiled.

She knew this scholar very well.
