The night wind whimpered and ran through the eaves, squeezed into the crack of the door, the oil lamp swayed, the stove was full, the old white hen nested in the pyre, her eyes were dozing, no one in the room spoke, all the sound of the chopsticks touching the bottom of the bowl.

A few chopsticks rose and fell, the fat wild boar meat piled up on the plate, and after a while, he saw the bottom of the plate, Lu Laoshi leaned on the back of the chair with satisfaction and patted his stomach.

"Ah...... It's been a long time since I've eaten mountain game. ”

On the other side, Lu Xiaoxian bit big, was knocked on the chopsticks by Li Jinhua, and only then did he chew in a small bite, quietly glanced at his mother, and saw the Taoist holding the bowl, staring directly at the plate with a few pieces of fat left.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Sun Yingxian looked at the oily gloss of the fat meat, looked away with a numb scalp, turned his chopsticks and grabbed a green vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ben Dao, don't eat meat today, so I won't eat it. ”

"Quirky and weird. Lu Xiaoxian pursed her lips, and when she saw Li Jinhua, who had gone to the stove to wash the pot, she looked over, and hurriedly stuffed a green vegetable into her mouth and buried her head.

On the other side, Lu Liangsheng lightly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Eat well." He got up and helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, waved open the door and walked out, and returned to the room along the eaves, and with a flick of his fingers, the dim light of the fire illuminated the room.

On the side of the bed, the toad Taoist was lying on his back on the pillow, a small short leg swayed in the air, and a piece of half-fat and half-thin wild boar meat was slowly savored in his flippers.

Seeing the apprentice come in, he originally wanted to say a few words, but the scholar took a few classics, sat quietly under the oil lamp and flipped through them, and in the light sound of the paper turning, the toad Taoist opened his mouth wide and swallowed the piece of wild boar into his stomach, touched his bulging belly, and sat up with his little short legs.

Standing on the edge of the bed and looking at the back of the flip book, he sighed, slowly lowered the edge of the bed to the ground, walked to the door and sat down, propped up his chin to look at the lively laughter in the stove, and turned his head to look at the half-moon overhead.

Chirping......

At the door of the stove room, the Taoist poked his head out and saw the old toad sitting under the eaves and came quietly.

"Kicked out by your apprentice?" he whispered.

The toad ignored him, and the Taoist turned his gaze and cautiously probed into the room, in the slightly open doorway, the range of the lights shaking, and the handsome and quiet side face, and turned the pages of the book with full attention.

"Sure enough, it's a little better than Bendao. ”

"Shameless. ”

The toad smacked at him, "You can see this?"

"You said Lao Lu had something on his mind. ”

Sun Yingxian, who retracted his gaze, squatted down on the side and touched his chin and short beard: "Ben Dao feels that he is in a good mood today." ”

The toad glanced over and said lightly, "Not a bad fart." ”

Immediately, he sighed and looked up at the moonlight.

"Liangsheng has always been worried about his teacher's affairs, and he feels guilty, the old man is a person who has come over, and he has seen more cultivators than you have seen. ”

After saying this, he sighed again and stood up with his fins on his lap.

"It's better for the old man to help him, and he must be worthy of the word 'master'. ”

The toad Taoist asked Sun Yingxian to go to the stove and not let others come out, disturbing him to cast spells, and seeing that the Taoist was in place, he had no intention of leaving, so he walked over, jumped up and hit him on the knee.

"The old man casts a spell and doesn't allow you to snoop, hurry up and go in. ”

"Yes, yes, let's go. ”

Seeing the Taoist reluctantly return to the stove room, the toad looked at the warm yellow light shining from the window lattice with his double flippers, and swayed to the eaves, and the pimple on his back gradually agitated.

Gives off a faint purple smoke.

.......

In the room, the night breeze squeezed into the window, and the oil lamp swayed, Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand to block it, so as not to be blown out, and for a moment, his face frowned slightly.

Suddenly, the wind grew louder, and a familiar voice came in from the window.

"Good life......

Liangsheng ....."

Lu Liangsheng raised his head, the window lattice was pushed open by the wind with a creak, the old trees in the courtyard rustled and swayed, and the deceased old man was dressed in a gray robe, holding a scroll in his hand and standing in the moonlight.

In the house, the scholar walked out, he was a cultivator who naturally knew ghosts and gods, and he would not be frightened when he saw the old man's soul, but would only be happy, and hurriedly bowed his hand, just like at the beginning.

"Liangsheng, I have seen my teacher. ”

"No need to be polite. "'Uncle Wang' shook slightly, stretched out his hand, and smiled.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and Liangsheng has lost a lot of weight. ”

Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly when he saw his movements, but he still said: "The students traveled to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and slept in the open air, and they did reduce some of it, but it was okay, doesn't this look energetic?!"

"Hehe....."

Over there, 'Uncle Wang' chuckled, waved the scroll in his hand, and invited the scholars to walk slowly in the courtyard together.

"Although the teacher died, he also knew that a good life was not what he just said. ”

The words paused, hung down the scroll behind him, and continued: "Liangsheng, you don't have to blame yourself, although the teacher is dead, but the soul is not extinguished, not to mention the grace of the heavenly rule of the city god, and he has found a small position in the Reward and Benevolence Division, and I came here today to tell you." ”

On the side, the footsteps of walking suddenly stopped, and when 'Wang Shuhua' turned his head in surprise, the scholar behind him stretched out his arm and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Master, forget it, don't pretend. ”

Belch.....

'Uncle Wang's face was stunned, the surrounding illusion suddenly dissipated, the insects chirped again in the corner, and in the rustling of the branches, Lu Liangsheng picked up the toad on the ground, put it on his shoulder and walked back to the eaves.

"How did you find out that it was for the teacher?" the toad sat on the apprentice's shoulder and couldn't help but speak, "The old man thinks it's seamless?"

"There are two points. ”

Lu Liangsheng waved his sleeves and sat down on the ground casually, comparing two fingers.

"My teacher's walking posture is not like Master's. ”

A curl of fingers.

"Second, there is no gong cao in the City God Temple...... Also, Master has forgotten that what Liangsheng is best at is illusion?"

The toad was stunned for a moment, and smacked his lips for a long time.

"Can't you let you be a teacher and pretend to have more fun?"

Looking at Master Toad, there is actually one thing that Lu Liangsheng didn't say, that is, demonic energy, since he formed the golden pill, he is very sensitive to demonic energy......

After a while, he spoke again, a smile on his face.

"I know what Master is doing this for, don't worry, Liangsheng has a way to deal with that Dharma Master. ”

"You're just a golden pill, you can't even break it to ask for a Sanskrit sound!"

At the mention of this toad, the Taoist was a little reluctant that this rotten good apprentice would avenge the old pedant, so he was so angry that he hugged his flippers and turned aside.

"What can you do? You entered the Tao for the sake of the teacher, and there is no way to be a teacher, how can you have a way!"

"Master. ”

Lu Liangsheng could feel the concern in his master's tone, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "That Dharma Abbot worshiped the Buddha and died, and I went the opposite way and congratulated my life with death, why can't I give it a try?"

Seeing that he couldn't move his apprentice, the toad shook his head, jumped off his shoulder and walked into the room, looking up at the oil lamp on the table.

"Whatever you want. ”

When the clear moon was covered by the clouds and the continuous mountains were immersed in darkness, on the official road north of Fushui County, the fire dragon spread, and the sound of horses' hooves swept in, and flags were waved in the firelight.

"Drive-"

There was a moment of shouting, and the words resounded on horseback.

"The footmen behind speed up the pace, Your Majesty has an order, encircle Qixia Mountain!!"

The banners stretched and rolled, the soles of each foot carried the ground and splashed dust, and the spears and spears stood in a long line of winding foot soldiers, and there was no end in sight.
