The sun is tilting, and the glow of the glow is passing through the crowded downtown area, bustling, leading the figure of the old donkey to squeeze through this noisy street scene, and there is a half-grown child with a tuft of yellow hair behind him, looking around like a monkey, from time to time to play with the rattle between the stalls, hearing a dry cough in front of him, he quickly put it down, and chased after him with his robe.

Soon, out of the south gate of Taiyuan, in the red glow, there were young people waiting on the official road outside, as soon as they saw the figure of walking out of the city gate, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and held up their wide sleeves to meet them.

"Master. ”

On the side, Li Yuanba, who jumped up and followed, saw him, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Qu Langjiang, you are also here." ”

The former had something on his mind, and he probably didn't want to talk more to this demon king-like child, so he turned his eyes to the master.

"Come with me. ”

Lu Liangsheng pressed his hand, the master and apprentice pulled the reins and walked side by side on the side of the road, Qu Yuanfeng looked at the smoke and dust stirred up by the passing cars, and couldn't help but speak: "Master can't stay for a few more days, so that the disciple can pay a filial piety." ”

"Nope. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the people coming and going in front of him, raised his hand and waved it, and then dropped the old donkey's mane and rubbed the hard hairs.

"Chang'an still has a lot of things to do, you can't stay for a long time as a teacher, your filial piety, just understand it in your heart for the teacher. ”

The war horse that followed the movement looked at the donkey that was also coming, a little restless, Qu Yuanfeng loosened the reins and let it follow farther away, opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked, "Master, what happened?"

“......”

Lu Liangsheng didn't rush to answer, and looked silently like a loose horse? Running back and forth on the road with open arms? Li Yuanba, who jumped up and down, walked to the roadside gazebo? The white whiskers trembled slightly as their lips opened.

"You also know about the Ten Thousand Souls? It has now broken a hole and is sealed in the sky by the Yellow Emperor? Now that they're all down, go back to Chang'an for the division? Just want to counteract? You don't have to worry, maybe I'll have a way halfway through. ”

The young man who followed the slow movement wanted to say that he was not worried that it was fake, he was adopted by the master since he was a child, how much do you know about the Ten Thousand Souls Array? What did Master say? suddenly remembered the incident when the demon star fell into the sky.

"The mouth of the Ten Thousand Souls Array was smashed by the demon star?"

"Hmm. ”

With a light hum, Lu Liangsheng suddenly stopped and looked at the apprentice beside him, "Demon stars scattered in Kyushu?" Now that the gods in the sky are also descending into the world, the world can't say that there will be chaos? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be a war between the gods, and you are located in the north? Taiyuan is also an important town, for the teacher to speak selfishly? Don't want you to get involved? But also know your temperament? must not listen to persuasion, so, when it comes to current affairs, you can't do anything, retreat to Chang'an!"

Over there, Qu Yuanfeng also fell silent, he knew that the master would never speak in such a tone on weekdays, thinking that the matter would become more and more serious, he would speak like this, in silence, he nodded, raised his hand and arched heavily.

"Master rest assured, Yuanfeng is not straight-headed, if something can't be done, immediately escort Manager Li's family to Chang'an to join Master. ”

In the distance, Li Yuanba, who was standing on the side of the road and threw stones, bit a weed, turned his head and raised his chin.

"Who are you scolding?!"

"Didn't say anything about you!"

Hearing Qu Yuanfeng's reply, the child 'hummed' and turned his face back, urging impatiently: "Let's go, when it gets dark later, I will take care of Master." ”

"You take care of yourself first, then you can't take care of it!"

The two of them, who suddenly became senior brothers, said a word to me, and they quarreled more than ten steps apart, Lu Liangsheng had a smile on his face, raised his hand, asked the two to stop talking, and then asked Qu Yuanfeng to return to the city.

"It's not too early, Yuanfeng go back, don't send it anymore. ”

"I'll ..... again Send Master...... Go a little further. ”

There was a lot of reluctance on the young man's face.

Lu Liangsheng nodded, still followed him for another two miles, the sky gradually darkened, Qu Yuanfeng, who was accompanying him over there, stopped, looked at the back of the donkey leading away in front of him, and I don't know what year and month it was, he took a breath, knelt on the ground with a bang, arched his hand heavily, and slammed his head to the ground, and the fine stones stuck to his forehead.

"Master, take care!"

The figure leading the donkey turned his face sideways, and the old face showed kindness and waved his hand.

"Yuanfeng, go back. ”

Qu Yuanfeng raised his head, looked at the figure of the master in front of him, led the old donkey, and the little junior brother who was jumping and running gradually disappeared into the glow, and then slowly got up from the ground, led the war horse and sighed, and walked back to the city.

......

The sunset went down the mountain, the glow crossed the forest and shone the last light, the undulating Taihang Mountains, the forest became dim, and occasionally there were a few night fox chirping, mixed with the crisp copper bells.

Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey across the dirt road that circled the foothills, looked up at the back of the staggered branches above, and the night sky was dotted with stars, so he walked to the side of the road and called Li Yuanba, who had been excited.

"Go find some firewood, and rest here tonight. ”

"Looking for firewood?"

Li Yuanba had never done this before, and walked to the forest below the mountain road with his head touched, looking at the dense trees around him, and fell into deep thought.

On the side of the road, the bookshelf fell to the ground, and the toad Taoist walked out of the small door, sat down on a stone in a daze, stared at the ground a little dullly, and then did not move, thinking that he had not recovered from the picture he had seen before.

"Childe, what's wrong with Master Toad?"

Hong Lian floated out of the painting scroll and lowered to the side, and put the white fingertips on the top of the toad's head, thinking that it was uncomfortable, and gently helped knead it, making the toad Daoist tremble slightly, the bean-sized toad's eyes were rolling upward, and his legs twitched and twitched.

"I met an immortal who came into the world. ”

Lu Liangsheng told the woman about the matter simply, after all, he has followed him for many years, and there is nothing to say, and he also mentioned Li Yuanba by the way.

"Childe has accepted the apprentice again, where is he?" Hong Lian lowered his hand, and when he looked around, there was a sudden 'whooshing' movement in the distant forest, and in a moment, a short figure dragged a big tree out of the forest, and dragged a big tree the thickness of a person with both hands to run here excitedly.

"Master, is it enough to burn?"

With a bang, the big tree with mud was thrown to the ground, and the ground shook, Li Yuanba's face was excited, and he was even more surprised to see a woman in a red dress sitting on the side, and a toad in clothes.

"Hey, why is there such a big clam .....?"

Stretching out his hand to grab it, he was slapped away by Lu Liangsheng with one hand, "Don't be rude, this is your master." ”

Li Yuanba "Ah?!", stepped back half a step, looked at the big toad with half-squinted eyes and pecked his head little by little, his head turned to the woman's side stiffly, and hesitated: "That...... Is this Shi Niang?"

Over there, Hong Lian, who was originally smiling lightly, smiled even more, and glanced at Lu Liangsheng on the side, "Childe, where did he say that he was reckless, isn't he quite smart?"

"I'm not stupid?!"

Li Yuanba crossed his waist and shouted, he hated others comparing him with the other two brothers, and besides, he was not stupid, he was just reckless and active, and he was not willing to use his brain.

The sitting toad raised its face sharply, stared at its round eyes, and looked back to its left and right.

"Dinner?"

Lu Liangsheng and Hong Lian laughed even louder, and soon, the split trees were ignited by the fire, and the warm fire drove away the dampness and cold in the mountains, and a table of exquisite food was displayed with a painting scroll, and he had dinner in Li Yuanba's exclamation, and then he also taught the child some moral knowledge, and sometimes asked what weapons were needed.

"Of course it's a hammer!

The firelight flickered, shining on the excited faces of the children, Li Yuanba sat cross-legged on the ground and struggled to draw the weapon he wanted, "It's best to be bigger and rounder, and the heavier one is the kind of ...... that can knock people fly."

The night gradually passed in the excited words, the distant east flooded with golden wheels, pushing the edge of darkness to shroud over, in the early morning birdsong, Lu Liangsheng woke up and held the tree pole and drooled Li Yuanba got up, packed his bags, walked through this forest, the foothills of the distant stretch, and went to Chang'an lively.
