Along the coast to the north, through Jiyu Mountain, Jiangdu, Langya, into Penglai County, this time Lu Liangsheng did not plan to enter Penglai County, looked at the outline of the city from a distance, turned to the sea in the east, the mermaid seemed to know that he was going home, excitedly swinging the fishtail on the back of the donkey, all the way chattering all the way to the words that the red mercy and toad people could not understand.

"Twitter...... Twitter......twitter"

When they arrived at the shore, the merman sitting on the back of the donkey could not sit still, turned down, crawled on the ground, and rubbed towards the sand side of the arch, and when he reached the shallow water, the fish bounced, jumped up and plunged into the sea, popped out his head, and swam around excitedly, and from time to time the people on the shore waved their palms with a membrane.

The sea breeze blew with a faint fishy smell, the toad Taoist turned on the back of the donkey and walked to the old donkey's head, hugged the double web, Lu Liangsheng on the side only made footprints, over there, the sea water pushed from the side was divided into two sides along the footsteps, and it was not wet at all.

"You should go, go over there, you should be able to find your home, and your relatives. ”

Lu Liangsheng squatted down, touched the little mermaid with his head stretched out, and pointed in the direction of going farther to the sea: "Just go over there, thank you for being with me these days." ”

"Alas, I am leaving, but the old man is a little reluctant. The toad Taoist sighed slightly, he has lived in the world for more than ten years, and he has long lost the fierceness he had at the beginning, and he looks like a sentimental old man at this time.

The red mercy on the side hummed a few times, nodded in agreement, and then raised his hand to wave goodbye to the merman, the merman over there swam a few feet, reluctantly turned around, looked at Lu Liangsheng who was standing not far away, and the woman waving her hand, the toad Taoist, hit a wave, turned around and swam back, jumped out of the water and threw himself into Lu Liangsheng's arms.

"Twitter.....

Buried his head in the warm chest rubbed twice, then let go of his arms, fell back into the sea, and quickly swam away, Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips, smiled, turned around and took the reins, called Honglian who was still waving his hand and the master to leave, walked up the gentle slope, looked back, on the sea in the distance, the merman was sitting on the reef, as if holding something in his hand, waving at them.

Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand to wipe off his waist, the jade he was wearing was gone, and the red rope was replaced by a light cyan fish scale, which hung there with the Xuanyuan scabbard next to him and swayed slightly.

"Hehe....."

chuckled twice, Lu Liangsheng took the fish scales and spread them in the palm of his hand, the light green was cold, and it looked like jade to the touch, "Although I don't know your name, but I exchanged jade pendants, then I will give you another name, Haiyu, if he is destined to meet again, you and I can see you again, don't say goodbye!"

Said with a smile, clenched the fish scales, and arched his hand towards the shark man on the distant reef, the other party seemed to hear Lu Liangsheng's words, and responded with a long cry of "chirp!" from afar, turned around and jumped into the sea, rolled up the waves, and disappeared.

"Master, Hong Lian, let's go too. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the calm sea, retracted his gaze, let the toad Taoist sit down, and Honglian went back to the bookshelf, pulled the old donkey to shake the jingling bell, and walked west.

Walking on the official road, there were more and more traders and travelers coming and going on the border of Qingzhou, and when he saw an old man in a gray robe and white hair pulling an old donkey, he couldn't help but look at it curiously, and came over to inquire with a good heart, and asked Lu Liangsheng if he was in trouble and why he was alone, but he was prevaricated back by Lu Liangsheng, and only said that he came out to relax.

At this time, in the middle of April, the four fields outside the city were green, turning the official road, copying the path, in the shaking bookshelf, Hong Lian was babbling and singing opera in the painting scroll, and the toad sitting on the edge of the small door was holding a cigarette stick, humming a few paragraphs, blowing out a puff of smoke, and remembering what was going on.

Stopping humming, he asked, "By the way, what's for dinner?"

Master's words, Lu Liangsheng has long been surprised, now the realm, into the eyes of the painting, in fact, as long as the picture can be thought of in the mind, can be made into a painting by itself, along the way, the toad does not even have to cook, all taken out directly from the painting, not only has a taste, but also can actually fill the stomach, and the usual meal is the same.

"Master wants to eat whatever I want, as long as I can remember. ”

Under a tree in the forest, the old donkey was released to eat grass, Lu Liangsheng took out the blank painting scroll, and as the food he had eaten floated in his mind, the roasted leg of mutton, salt-roasted fat goose, and pickled egg gruel appeared on it in an instant...... One by one, the picture was brought out from the square table inside and placed in front of the toad Taoist, with the color of the dish and the fragrance wafting.

Lu Liangsheng tasted it, then stopped eating, shook his head, took the book and flipped through it, it was not drawn by his own hands, it had no soul.

The toad Taoist next to him, not so particular, became bigger, picked up the fat goose and stuffed it in his mouth to chew, his cheeks bulged and closed, poked his head, and glanced at the album in the apprentice's hand.

"Didn't you go back to Chang'an directly?"

"To the west of Qingzhou, go directly to Xindu and Zhao County, just go over to see how the Qi River Canal is repaired, and go to Taiyuan by the way, Yuanfeng should still be on an errand under Li Yuan. ”

After talking for a while, seeing that the master had almost eaten, he took the scroll and put it on the bookshelf, beckoned the old donkey, and continued to move forward, climbing up the toad at the small door along the rope, touching his stomach and lying down on the bunk, setting up one leg and shaking comfortably.

"Since it has passed, what is the delay, you are now cultivating like this, but now it is not what it used to be, when you were a teacher, it was just a blink of an eye, you must know how majestic it was when you were a teacher, and the elites of several major sects went out to besiege as a teacher, that is called a sea of people, and the magic weapon covers the sun......"

In the easel, Hong Lian's chuckling voice sounded, "Master Toad is bragging again, in fact, everyone is shouting and beating." ”

"You little female ghost, can you speak?!"

"But I'm not wrong. ”

......

Listening to the two of them, Lu Liangsheng plucked out his ears, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked out of the forest path, the field of vision was green and flat, and occasionally there were rolling mountains with slow cooking smoke, and the farmers in the fields were carrying kettles and hoes and walking home with the villagers who knew each other.

On the way, Lu Liangsheng stopped the farmers who returned home, inquired about the direction of Xindu and Taiyuan, only to know that it was only a distance of more than 100 miles, rode on an old donkey, crossed the mountains and mountains to the Qi River, and the river at the bottom of his eyes was more than a few zhang wider than the original, and hundreds of men wore short coats, or shouted trumpets with bare arms, kept waving their hoes, smashed down pieces of dirt and stones, and let the porter pack them away.

Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey and walked along the river bank for a while, just sat on a big bluestone, looking at this piece of fortification that was in full swing and stretched for several miles, and sighed in his heart.

'Your Majesty, you really have the courage. ’

The sun gradually slanted westward, and the men who worked gradually stopped their work, and ran to the overseers in groups to get today's money with their rough big hands, Lu Liangsheng roughly calculated, there were tens of thousands of people in just one section of the Qi River Canal, and the daily wages were probably astronomical, and he was faintly worried about whether the court could bear it.

"This old gentleman, you've been here for a long time, but you're waiting for someone?"

The overseer who had finished the last batch of wages in the distance came over with his soldiers, and he had noticed that the old man in gray had been sitting here for a long time, thinking that he had just come to see the repair of the canal, but now that it was almost dark and he had not left, he came over to ask.

"It's not early, the old man should go back quickly, the road is difficult to walk in the dark, if you accidentally fall into the river, you will die. ”

Lu Liangsheng nodded, and he was not embarrassed by the overseer, and bowed his hand in thanks, only this section of the Qi River Canal probably already understood the expectations of the fortifications, and there was nothing to look at.

"Thank you for the reminder, the old man will leave. ”

took the old donkey, took advantage of the night to gradually disappear in the eyes of the group of people behind him, took the old donkey directly across the wide Qi River, and came to the opposite bank, that is, to go straight to Taiyuan County.

There was nothing else on the way, retreating and hurrying, passing through the thick city wall, Lu Liangsheng walked into the city, lanterns hung high in the streets, illuminating the market, at this time the night was crowded, Lu Liangsheng looked at all kinds of things sold in the stalls on both sides, took a mask and put it on his face and raised it to the bookshelf behind, causing a beautiful woman's laughter inside.

"Childe, you don't have to cover it like this, the concubine thinks that even if Childe is old, he is very good-looking. ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion from the street, and the passers-by were chaotic, and several men in blue robes looked around in a panic, squeezing through the crowd and running forward.

"I don't know where the little boy ran away. ”

“...... Don't say it, look for it quickly. ”

The sound quickly disappeared at the end of the street with several people.
