"Old toad?!"

The Taoist lost the dead branches and stood up. The tree demon who was pulling the old donkey not far away trotted over when he heard the movement and looked around, as if he heard the sound of water, and pointed to the edge of the pool.

In an instant, the ripples of water surface broke through and splashed. With a sound of "Woo... I...", I held the fishing rod and fell back to the water surface and swayed left and right, pushing away the waves and swam rapidly.

The Taoist stared at the toads sliding on the water pool with his hands and feet, remembering the scene when the other party dropped the reservoir a few years ago, squatted back to the fire and continued to transfer firewood.

"I thought I had fallen into the water and I had already swam."

Wave your hand and tell the tree demon not to worry: "The old toad can't swim. I'm afraid it's learning at this moment, so don't worry."

In the pool, the rain line tightened, and the toad Taoist who was floating forward with a fishing rod suddenly sank, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Gululu...

Only a few bubbles were left to emerge from the water.

"That..." The tree demon opened his mouth slightly, clicked the pool with his fingertips, turned his head to look at Sun Yingxian, "...that little toad seems to be heavy...got, don't you look?"

"!"

The Taoist's expression was stunned for a moment. When the firewood was thrown away, he ran to the pool. The water surface was calm and the waves were only about ten dead leaves floating, rippling gently.

At this moment, Lu Liangsheng was thanking the old man. After asking what the name of this place was, he carried a bundle of firewood in his hand and walked back to the pool. When he saw the Taoist taking off his clothes and pants, sitting on the ground, throwing his shoes and socks next to him.

"Are you going down to play in the water?"

"Take a play with grandma......"

The tree demon raised his eyebrows and the Taoist waved his hand: "It's not your grandma." Then, he went to the pool with his fingers and said to Lu Liangsheng: "Master fell into the water. Isn't this going to catch him?"

He held a little water and patted his chest. Before the Taoist could jump down, the toad on the water surface floated softly. Lu Liangsheng pinched his fingers and was about to lift his master up on the water. Suddenly, the toad Taoist who was still motionless kept his posture and floated horizontally to the edge of the pond.

When I got closer, I realized that the toad had a circle of green shadows wrapped around its fat waist. As soon as I approached the edge of the pond, the slender green shadows loosened and slid into the bottom of the river, winding and swam open.

A small green snake could be seen vaguely, the thickness of someone's fingers.

"Old toad?" "Wake up!"

The Taoist's fingers bounced the toad's cheeks. Lu Liangsheng's fingertips gathered magic power to press the master's white belly. The water immediately sprayed three water arrows from his nose, and he suddenly sat up, looking at both sides with his head and his stomach.

"Hey, where is my fish?"

Lu Liangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, took a silk handkerchief from the bookshelf and wiped the water stains on his body, "Master wants to eat fish, I'll be there later."

Walking to the edge of the pond, waving the floating fishing rod on the water surface, and hanging the bait again, the Toad Taoist ran to the bookshelf compartment, changed into a set of clothes, sat quietly next to it, pointed to the sinking fishing line, and slapped his apprentice's trouser legs hard.

"Pull it up!"

Lu Liangsheng raised the fishing rod, and a grass carp broke out of the water and fell to the ground, jumping constantly, slapped his tail and clattered.

"Master, this fish is big enough, I have eaten some lunch."

The woods, the small pools, and the sun is shining, the cicadas are chirping one after another, and the old donkeys are leisurely swaying their bald tails, just like a group of people who go out for spring, talking and having fun.

I am used to going out and cooking skills are not very good, but I am also very familiar with it. The Taoist nimbled the fish to remove scales and slaughtered them into several pieces and marinated them in a large bowl to remove the fishy smell.

The toad leaned into the bowl and sniffed it: "Put more rice wine, ginger, and salt to make it taste good. I am an expert in food. I just fell into the water and drove away the cold."

"OK."

Taoist laughed and put in the pickled seasonings, stirred them well, and broke a few green onions in the bag: "Put the green fish onions, and hold the old toad to death."

"Ask for a fight!" The toad jumped up, and the frog webbed knocked the Taoist's knees. Lu Liangsheng and the tree demon couldn't help laughing, and the old donkey gnawing on the grass beside him screamed.

After lunch, he packed up and prepared to leave the place. Lu Liangsheng walked to the edge of the pond and bowed to the bottom of the pond to thank him.

"I can't repay you for your kindness."

He took out a pill from his sleeve, "Although this medicine is not a fairy medicine, it can also encourage vitality. Please accept it with a smile."

"Let me come."

Taoist Toad came from there at some time, pulled his apprentice's robe and asked him to hand over the elixir in his hand and hold it between the webbeds.

"I don't owe anyone favors, so I will be a thank you gift. I hope you will lose your scales and turn into people as soon as possible and achieve the right result."

With a light throw, the elixir fell to the shallow water beside the pond, and the water surface was sinking. A small green snake walked over and opened its mouth and swallowed the apricot and yellow elixir into its stomach.

As if he could understand the words of the Toad Taoist, the little green snake drilled out of the water and poked its head to the shore, one tall and one short, and two figures pecked their heads. Its body rippled in the water and swam happily towards the other side of the pond.

The Toad Taoist looked at the ripples disappearing from the water with the webbeds on his back, and turned around and sighed.

"I also came out of such a small pond back then."

"Why can't Master swim?" Lu Liangsheng picked him up, put it on his shoulders, and went to help clean the bookshelf and hang it on the back of the donkey.

The toad was on the disciple's shoulder and his face was tilted, "How can I know that my master has been at the bottom of the pond since I had spiritual consciousness, and then I ran to the edge of the pond."

"What I'm talking about is like a stone sculpture of Master sinking into the water."

Lu Liangsheng was just a joke, but he remembered that when he entered Nanchen to participate in the palace examination, a eunuch introduced that a sculpture of a golden toad that looked at the moon was stolen from the palace. Could it be his master?

But after thinking about it, I quickly put this idea behind me. Although there are mountain spirits and stone monsters in the monsters that absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and transform into shape, it is probably almost impossible to achieve the master's ability at the beginning.

Leaving the small pool, he led the old donkey to the height of the terrain. Looking back, a small clear shadow rolled up on the rocks beside the pond and spitted out the snake letters at them, erecting high up and pecking them bits, as if saying goodbye.

"Meeting mountains and rivers is fate, goodbye!"

Lu Liangsheng smiled and even gave a gift to the little snake, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped on the road north to Helingzhou. By the edge of the pond, the rolled green snake looked at the scholar. The old donkey disappeared and quickly climbed down the stone. The thin scales spread across the messy mud and stones, and chased them up there.

......

The sunset shines red in the sky, and the crows stand nearby, and the cry of a dead tree.

After leaving the small pool for dozens of miles away, Lu Liangsheng and Taoist walked along the way. It was already dusk. The roads in the mountains were rugged and difficult to walk. Sometimes they used magic and sometimes they slowly watched the scenery. It was quite pleasant.

It was getting dark, and two demons and a donkey who were originally going to sleep in the forest walked up to the hills in front. The sunset was shrouded in the red, and the outline of a small town was bathed in the sunset.
