Songtao Inn, the second floor wing.

Old Dao Lu Wuxiang's face was red, and he held the table with one hand and slapped himself on the chest with the other.

"Ahem... Ahem......"

I was eating well, and suddenly I choked, what a premature life.

After relieving for a while, Lao Dao came to his senses, put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sat down on the collapsed chair, panting heavily.

The Qi Condensation Yuan does not reveal its true breath, so that it is indeed blocked from being detected. But the disadvantage is that when the immortal energy is fully hidden, it needs to eat like a mortal to supplement its daily needs.

It's just that it's strange, he often chokes or chokes when eating, and Lu Laodao is puzzled.

There was a rush of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, and then, with a creak, the door opened.

"Master," Li Changan pushed the door in, took three steps and two steps, rushed to the table, picked up the kettle, and poured a mouthful of hot tea into his mouth.

glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and asked his master, "Is the food delicious?"

Lao Dao was still holding his chest, and when he saw Li Changan's unhappy look, he thought that this gluttonous little apprentice was blaming him for eating alone.

The old man smiled and said with a good word, "It's improvised, haha... The chef is not as skilled as you. Hungry, quick, sit down, sit down. ”

"Hmph," Li Changan rolled his eyes and muttered, "Again, the apprentice was almost swallowed alive by the snake demon just now." ”

"Ah?!" Lao Dao was shocked and suspicious, "Snake demon, what snake demon?"

At this time, Lao Guanhai walked in from outside the door and bowed to the old road.

Lao Dao looked at his apprentice who was angry, and then looked at his nephew who looked like he was doing business, and he was at a loss: "Is this swollen, what is this?"

Li Changan didn't say anything, only glanced at Lao Guanhai, and had his own plans in his heart.

"It's not that you asked me to guard the grudge removal urn in the Gongsun Mansion, and almost put me in the apprenticeship. ”

"What do you mean? you just said the snake demon..."Lao Dao stretched out his hand and put it on the little apprentice's shoulder.

Li Changan shook his shoulders angrily and shook off his master's hand, "You really have a big heart, you can eat hot soup and hot rice here." It's dark and the apprentice hasn't come back yet, and you don't know what to worry about.

Master, do you know how big that snake is? It is longer and thicker than the big flowers on the cliff behind it, and its blue and low-lying whole body glows, and it can penetrate people.

It will also spray poisonous mist, staining my back, and it still hurts, and I don't know if it's poisoned. Master, I'm afraid I'm going to die..."

Lao Dao has just checked it as soon as he gets his hands on it, and the little apprentice is intact, not to mention poisoning, and he has not even touched half of the demonic qi on his body.

It's kind of weird.

Although Chang'an knows some spells and can defeat the little demons who can't enter the stream, if he fights with monsters without the slightest demonic spirit, even Laoguanhai may not be able to do it.

"Rest assured, no poisoning. Lao Dao frowned, and asked Lao Guanhai, "What the hell is going on?"

"Back to my uncle. Lao Guanhai was indeed a little distracted, cleared his throat, and said: "Just after Zhang Luo had a good meal, he went to Gongsun's Mansion to prepare to recover the grievances and burn the method of crossing.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived at Gongsun Mansion, he found that Uncle Xiao and Gongsun Tuo in the carriage were gone.

After using the flying sword search technique, he searched for a circle of dozens of miles, and only then did he find the little uncle by the moat, and he quickly rushed over to Guanhai.

Fortunately, Uncle Xiao is fine, otherwise watching the sea is really dead, and it is difficult to escape the blame!"

"Oh," Lao Dao nodded, just about to say something, but suddenly thought, this is not right, after talking around but still not talking about the snake demon.

Li Changan glanced at Lao Guanhai suspiciously, and complained to Lao Dao: "Master, you are really, and you don't know how to give a few life talismans to the apprentice, so I'm not afraid that I will be taken away by monsters." ”

Old Dao, "Hey, you should be a treasure of heaven and earth, and the monsters are coming to you to eat and cultivate?"

I know it myself.

Although Li Changan has no spiritual roots, he is very intelligent and has endless ideas. He can do it when he is small, and all the furniture in the yellow mud house in Qingquan Mountain, including the stove that is much better than the ordinary earthen stove in the world, is made by himself.

Daily meditation and spitting, practicing spells and spells can be regarded as diligent, but the mind is a little erratic. Even he, the master who pulled him with one hand, couldn't figure out what the little apprentice was thinking.

I often hear him babbling there alone, saying that there is no god in this world, and the so-called god is just a beautiful wish from the bottom of people's hearts.

There are also some words that Lao Tao can't understand and can't understand. In short, before Senior Brother Dou Yuan's clone came to Qingquan Mountain today, the little apprentice didn't pay much attention to asking for immortals.

Moreover, faintly, Lao Dao also felt that the little apprentice did not seem to have a little reverence for the gods.

If you want to talk about shortcomings, there is nothing else except gluttony.

When he was young, he was sensible, never cried, and he was diligent in his work, and he had a high level of understanding, and he could remember what scriptures and methods were at most twice and so on.

Curiosity is greater than heaven, but unfortunately timidity is almost as small as sesame seeds.

The slightest bit of wind and grass can make him nervous for a long time. Those snakes, insects, rats and ants, he is not afraid of anything.

Before the age of seven, except for picking up some firewood and picking up some water around the mountain house, he basically never left the small yard. It wasn't until he officially started cultivating and learned the trick of riding the wind that he slowly began to come into contact with those birds and beasts in the deep mountains.

I still remember being bitten by a spider when I was ten years old. That howl was earth-shattering, and now when I think about it, I feel that my ears hurt.

The kid is talking nonsense again. Lu Laodao thought so, but he didn't say it thoroughly, after all, there was an outsider present.

If you really meet the snake demon, I'm afraid you will have to faint on the spot, and you can still coquettish him here?

Li Changan listened to the master's ridicule a lot, and he didn't care at all.

sat on the collapsed chair, stretched out his hand to Lao Guanhai, spread his palms, and said, "Master nephew, I can be regarded as doing something for you, right, report a work injury in the yamen." Anyway, give me some supplements, my fall is not light. ”

"Go. Lu Laodao slapped his chopsticks on Li Changan's palm, "You balloon, day by day, you don't have a shape..."

"Master!" Li Changan retracted his hand, sideways revealing the torn robe on his right arm and a long bloody mark on his elbow, "I'm really injured, not joking." ”

This was cut by rubbing the sharp stones beside the river when he was protecting Gongsun Tuo from a height of ten feet and falling to the ground.

Lao Dao frowned, and when he didn't see him beckoning, Li Changan felt a burst of coolness spread over the injured area, which was very comfortable. He could feel that the wound was healing rapidly.

He turned his head to Lao Guanhai, who was ashamed, and said seriously: "If it weren't for you to guard the grudge removal urn, I wouldn't have happened to meet the rat essence and kidnapped Gongsun Tuo."

If it weren't for the fact that you weren't there at the time, I wouldn't have chased it all the way to the graveyard outside the moat, and I encountered the serpent.

Everything has a cause before it has an effect. You see, Uncle Xiao, I fell this embarrassment, and it wasn't all for you. ”

Lao Guanhai nodded again and again when he heard this, and immediately took out a whole piece of silver from his sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the hand of this little uncle who didn't know how thick his skin was, and said, "Yes, yes, what Uncle Xiao said is true." It's all poorly arranged to view the sea.

It's just that there are not many silver taels on me when I go out in a hurry, so Uncle Xiao will take it first, don't dislike it. Tomorrow, when Guanhai reports the matter to the yamen, it will not be too late to receive the honorarium. ”

Li Changan immediately showed a very bright smile, quickly stuffed the ingot of silver into his sleeve pocket, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Hey, it's all my own family, what do you say, haha."

Tomorrow, tomorrow.

That, master nephew, I have to bother you to report my injury a little more seriously, and it is better to say that I broke a leg...

Well, if it's not enough, just say that both are broken..."

Lao Guanhai was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, for fear that this guy would say more straightforward words, so he hurriedly replied: "Understood, understood." ”

Lu Laodao frowned on the side, and it was difficult to say anything, so he was a little embarrassed, so he cleared his throat.

"Uh-huh..."

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Junior, you two will use it late first. There's a catcher downstairs, and if there's anything going on, you can send him to run errands. Guanhai still has something to do at hand, so he retired first. ”

"Okay, let's go about you. Lu Laodao waved his hand.

......

After Lao Guanhai left, Lu Laodao stared at the apprentice who was sitting cross-legged on the collapsed chair, holding the whole silver ingot, looking left and right, and sighed and shook his head.

The heart said, 'The people in the Taoist Gate are so greedy for money, if they are in the mountain gate, they will be laughed at.' ’

"Master," Li Changan shook the silver ingot in his hand, looked up happily and asked, "Do you know the current prices?"

Lu Laodao was a little emotionally unable to catch up for a while, was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What is the price?"

"That is to say, for example, how much is a bucket of rice? How much is a pound of pork?" Seeing the master's blank look, Li Changan said again: "Let's put it this way, can this ingot of silver buy a good hosta?"

Oh yes, is there any Lantian jade, Hetian jade, or mutton fat jade or something. I don't know about jade, I've heard of these names before, and I really haven't paid attention to what they look like..."

Seeing the little apprentice babbling, Lu Wuxiang had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"Chang'an, do you want to use this silver to buy a hosta?"

"That's right. Li Changan stretched out his hand to pick up the messy hair scattered on the sideburns of the old way, and said with a smile: "Master, this dry branch is too cold, and there is this broken robe." I don't know, I thought our master and apprentice were the nine bags of elders of the beggar gang. ”

Lu Laodao's lips trembled.

"Gaibang, what is Gaibang, nine generations, as a teacher, I am ninety-eight generations..."

"Ha, I'll just say it casually. Tomorrow, I'll ask the innkeeper where to buy cloth and clothing. It's better to have ready-to-wear to sell, so you don't have to wait. ”

After tidying up the master's messy hair, Li Changan took a pair of chopsticks and scooped rice from the rice retort, took a small half pot of scrambled eggs, and devoured them.

Looking at the little apprentice who was never picky eater, Lu Wuxiang's heart twitched suddenly, and a layer of mist rose in his eyes.

Chang'an, alas... Master, not a good Master!

It is said that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. can be a teacher from me, but he has never given you happiness.

In the past 16 years, I have raised you and taught you to practice the Fa. Seeing that your body bones are growing day by day, your spells are getting better and better day by day. In my heart as a teacher, I am really happy for you.

But!

However, the time limit is approaching, and you are finally dying......
