In the middle of summer, the warm area rains for several days, and the white water vapor rises in the middle of the mountains.

Rustling rustling ......

Feet and hooves stepped on the thick fallen leaves, and from time to time there were a few excited donkey neighs echoing in the mountains, from west to east, the old donkey chewed the grass with trembling ears, flicked his tail over the bookshelf hanging on his hips, and the open door was pushed back, and was opened by the toad Dao man with a web.

"Try another one?"

The toad yawned, lifted the rope around his waist, turned over the donkey's back, jumped over the mermaid sitting on it, came to the donkey's head, and sat down cross-legged.

"Liangsheng, can we leave Tianzhu Kingdom?"

There were still branches falling from the rain, Lu Liangsheng walked a few steps, closed the book, raised his eyes to see that the clouds were gradually dispersing, and when he turned around, a few wisps of white were faintly revealed between the re-tied buns.

"There is no direction, and it will take several days to cross the mountains....... Well, it shouldn't be too far. ”

After walking for a while, coming up to the muddy gentle slope in front of him, his vision became much wider, and he beckoned Wang Feng and the four of them to come and rest, and found a fairly clean place to sit down, and continued to flip through the classics in his hand.

The toad Taoist slid down the donkey's mouth, grabbed the reins and swung it, and fell to the ground steadily, walking with double flippers and raising the toad's face, looking at the apprentice's side face with a focused expression.

"Good life. ”

"What's the matter, Master?" When Lu Liangsheng looked away, the toad Daoist over there raised his web, and his round webbed head was on the side of his head, "What's the matter with your hair?!" ”

Not far away, the four people who were blowing the fire folded looked at each other.

Belch......

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the four people over there, and then hooked out a few strands of white hair from between the buns and looked carefully at the corners of his forehead, and said with a smile: "Maybe I have been worrying about too many things recently, and I have grown before I know it." ”

"Hmph [ ]. ”

The toad Taoist disagreed, and turned his head to the side: "There are still fewer things to worry about the teacher?

"Master, are you worried?" the scholar looked the toad up and down, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile, and he quickly endured it: "Master...... You're hairless. ”

"Uh..... That's right, too. ”

The toad Taoist looked down at the belly of the flippers on the top, stretched out the flippers and touched his bare head, squinted his eyes and stared at the apprentice for a while, and turned around thoughtfully? Rubbing your chin and slowly leaving? Even the words of the apprentice behind him, 'Where is the master?' fell on deaf ears.

In the dense forest of pans and hanging vines, birdsong and monkey cries one after another? Toad Daoist with double flippers? Jumping on a piece of bluestone in a short coat and glancing at the damp stone crevice? Jumping down and continuing to walk forward with flippers, he sighed.

...... Alas? The old man is worried about your apprentice.

Compared to the explanation that Lu Liangsheng said? Toads don't believe it at all, and there must be other reasons why people in the path of cultivation can turn gray because of overwork like ordinary people.

It's just that the apprentice doesn't want to say it.

"Where can I find some supplements like herbs...... Eat too. ”

The toad muttered softly, and the toad pouted his ass and picked up the grass? Looking in? After a while, I climbed up the tree, stretched out my webbing to touch the bird's nest in the treetops, and there were only a few feathers, and I jumped off the tree and walked again? Seeing the gurgling water and running to uncover the rocks by the stream? Turning out a blue crab with teeth and claws, for a moment? The frog flicked its flips and threw it back into the water with disdain.

"It's not enough for the old man. ”

Suddenly, the bushes behind him stumbled and there was a noise? 'Coo~~' How many sounds came? The next moment? Drilled out a red cockscomb head, the beak of the jasper, the fierce eyes also saw the big toad standing by the stream, rushed out, revealing a body of colorful feathers, the pheasant is quite large, higher than the human knee, swinging the cockscomb crooked neck, the low cry of 'cooing' became more and more urgent, the wings on both sides stretched out slightly, the thick and sharp chicken claws scraped the ground, scraped up a layer of soil, and pounced fiercely.

And then..... Disappeared into the beaks of the toads that suddenly opened wide.

The toad's head became huge, and he puffed out his cheeks and chewed a few times, remembering something, and suddenly opened his mouth, took the pheasant with the viscous liquid, and sprayed it to the ground together.

"You dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man, are you really the old hen in Lujia Village? The old man eats you without blinking his eyes. ”

Pieces of chicken feathers fell in the air, the pheasant feathers have been faded clean, fluttering and struggling on the ground, dragged by the toad Dao man to the stream and tossed the chicken feet, lifted up and dragged behind him, walked back, out of the forest, back to the resting place, the bonfire has risen.

"You four, stew this chicken. ”

The toad bowed slightly, threw the pheasant over, turned to the bookshelf and turned over some spices, and tied the white apron together, took the frog flippers and walked to the fire.

Lu Liangsheng, who was reading under the tree, raised his face and looked at the huge pheasant being broken by the four scholars with their hands and feet, marinated with seasonings to remove the taste, and his face was a little surprised.

"Master, did you arrest you?"

"Isn't it a small Taoist priest who can catch it, how can he not catch it as a teacher?" The toad Taoist pushed a stone over, stepped on it, took the wooden spoon handed by Wang Feng next to him, and stirred it into the boiling pot, "This chicken looks like it, it should also be a little monster in this mountain, it is a big supplement, look at the master's craftsmanship." ”

After stirring a few times, he found the prepared seasoning from the apron pocket, and the round webbed head was gently grinded and sprinkled into the water one by one......

The boiling boiling water has a fragrance coming out, and the light and tasteless boiling people slowly turned into a pot of thick soup, and the pheasants that had been chopped into dozens of pieces were poured into the pot by Zhao Fu and Ma, and the four of them gathered around the pot, looking at the chicken pieces inside and swallowing their saliva.

Soon, the thick sauce chicken soup boiled over the fierce fire was ready, Lu Liangsheng smelled the fragrance, took the bowl and chopsticks and tasted it, frowned slightly, and the four scholars opposite also ate a few pieces, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

"It's weird, I really want to think about why it tastes weird. ”

"It's good to eat some, not to mention that it's still made by Toad Daxian himself, be content. ”

"That's right, eat, eat. ”

The toad Taoist held the frog flipper under his lips and coughed dryly, and glanced at the apprentice next to him: "It's weird, maybe the taste is a little weird, and the smell can't be suppressed, but it's okay, eat it quickly." ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the master suspiciously, but he still put some in the bowl and ate a few more bites, but as the master said, the flesh and blood of the spirit are more delicious and tender than the meat of ordinary poultry, and the size is also very large, which is comparable to the fish and shrimp raised by Qixia Mountain with the Spirit Gathering Array.

"When I go back, I might as well make a magic circle dedicated to nourishing domestic animals, and if I can, I will spread it in Kyushu all over the world, and then I won't be afraid of famine......."

After that, after eating, according to the route ahead, continue to the east, by the afternoon had crossed the three mountains, the sun was setting, standing in the red glow, from the top of the mountain to the endless overlapping mountains, and endless dense forests, the four scholars sat on the ground with their butts, feeling desperate in their hearts.

Xiyun seemed to burn, dyed red, barely walked down the top of the mountain, suddenly, faintly heard someone singing, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey, with four scholars, looking for the direction of the sound to hurry, in front of the dense forest, there is an old man carrying a few bundles of firewood walking to the other side of the dirt road.

"Boss!!"

Hearing the singing voice that he didn't understand very well, Lu Liangsheng was very kind, and it was obvious that the words in the song were dialects in the southwest of Kyushu.

'Finally back in Dasui......,' he thought.
