‘I will start dinner without waiting for me, leave some for me...’

In the mountain village where smoke was rising, a few children were playing and eating in the dam with bowls. A toad man stood up and ran in from the entrance of the village panting, and ran to the fence courtyard.

"It seems to be from Brother Liangsheng's house."

"Hehe, he is carrying a big gourd, why didn't he carry it out today?"

"Maybe there's something delicious inside."

"Hey, I've disappeared."

As the sound of the children talking, they ran all the way into the yard along the fenced courtyard wall. When Li Jinhua was fetching water by the water tank, he subconsciously jumped into the vegetable garden. When the woman brought the wooden basin into the stove, the sound of washing dishes was heard.

‘It’s over, I didn’t catch up.’

He poked his head out and took a look. He walked past the old white hen who was walking through the donkey shed, spread his flippers and rushed to the eaves opposite. At this time, Wang Banxia's voice slowly sounded in the room.

"Haha... I am very famous in Fushui County. People give me the title of "Wang Banxian". Many nobles in the city come to me to ask about their future wealth and honor, and ask them to go to the temple of my master to worship and burn incense."

In the room, Lu Xiaoxian was a little curious about what was happening outside. The Taoist who was by his side yawned. He now understood a little about this kind of observation, but he was not as good as Wang Banbiao, who only practiced this Taoist.

"I want to go to the city, so I will change to the Japanese road to accompany you." The Taoist curled his lips. When he saw the toad Taoist rushing into the eaves and approaching the door, he didn't care and waved his hand in a very generous manner.

"Buy whatever you want, and pay for it."

This kind of words made the girl happy and went out together. On the other side, Lu Liangsheng, who was standing at the desk writing and painting, looked at the portraits of Hong Lian and Qi You on the scroll, embellished some details. When the Taoist and his sister went out, they asked about other things.

"You are in the city, well-informed, but have you heard of other things."

He refers to news from the north.

The old man couldn't hear what it meant. He stroked his chin and white beard and thought about it, and stood up with his hands on the chair.

"I heard from the rich people in the city that they were selling grain to the north, and the court seemed to be collecting a lot of grain. Could it be...?"

The pen tip decorated with paper stopped, and Lu Liangsheng handed the brush to Qi You beside him, looked up at the old tree outside the window, and frowned slightly.

"It should be a war. I heard about the Turkic attacks on the border on the way back at the end of last autumn. I really didn't expect anything else to collect grain on this large scale besides fighting."

When talking about war, I couldn't help but think that Yuwen Tuo, the two disciples far away in Chang'an, were royal families in the previous dynasty and would not go to the front line, but the youngest disciple, who was determined to be a general, might volunteer.

‘Forget it.’

Lu Liangsheng shook his head and put aside this thought. Since he had already decided to let go of his hands that day and let the three apprentices go on their own and make their debut, he shouldn't interfere.

Qu Yuanfeng was subjected to his "Fenglin Volcano" formation and it was considered bullying when he went up, so there would be no danger.

He looked at the "Full Mountains and Seas" on several books, not to mention that he had other important things to do. Wars on earth were the affairs of the court. As long as he did not enter the country and caused difficulties to the people, it was rare to pay attention to it.

I chatted with the oldest apprentice in front of me for a while and sent the other person away. As I thought, I turned around and saw the toad sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

"Uh... When will the master come back?"

"Just get up as a teacher?" The toad Taoist snorted coldly around the webbing and turned to another direction.

"I forgot to talk to Wang Chengen for a while, and my master's meal is still there."

Lu Liangsheng took the exquisite small bowl placed next to the book and opened the plate on it. It was a little cold. He put it in his palm and heated it with magic power. In a moment, a steam of heat came out and the fragrance came out.

After blowing the floating heat, the scholar sat down to the bed and handed it to the toad Taoist.

"Master calm down, you see, the food is here."

The toad slightly lowered his face, snorted coldly and turned away, and then he heard the apprentice behind him continue to say.

"My mother cooked braised pork and I picked up the best meat and put it in my master's bowl. It was fat but not greasy, and it rots when I put it in my mouth. There were fish. Hong Lian even picked out all the fish bones inside, and there was a spicy sauce wrapped in it..."

Gu~

The toad swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his face sideways, glanced into the bowl with his eyes, then stretched over the frog web to take the small bowl into his arms, blowing the heat from the fat meat, rolled his tongue over the mouth, and the oil juice spread across the corner of his mouth.

It was probably the food that was in the mouth. After calming down, I nodded with satisfaction, smacked my lips and savored it.

"Your mother's craftsmanship has improved again, which is really rare."

Seeing that the master was out of breath, Lu Liangsheng smiled and chatted and said a few words. When Taoist Toad saw his expression, he thought he could not stand the temptation of delicious food and hummed.

"I am a teacher to taste the quality of food. After all, you know that I am an expert in food."

“Yes, the master is right.”

With a few compliments on a smile, Lu Liangsheng was concerned about "The End of Mountains and Seas" and said, "Then, Master, eat slowly." Then he returned to his desk, expanded the long pages of the book, and the slightly shiny normal lines on it had already extended to the formed Sichuan and Sichuan paintings. He had only reached the mountains near several intertwined waters, and he no longer moved forward, nor did he appear.

‘Hmm?, is this stuck?’

"What's the point of just here? Why don't you put your soul in and take a look." Taoist Toad stood on the small cabinet at the bedside, rolled the rice grains around his mouth with his double webbeds in his mouth. The old god yawned and sat down.

Lu Liangsheng thought for a while, and thought that he might be able to see something when he went in and took a look. He turned his head and called the tree demon who was scribbling on a piece of paper to help protect the Dharma. In an instant, he pointed his sword and pressed his eyebrows together.

"Out of the body!"

The outline of the figure rushed out of his body, and the sunlight shone through the window frame, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the painting. The endless darkness retreated from his sight. In the light in the painting, Lu Liangsheng looked down at the waves of several big rivers below and behind a stretching mountain range. At a distance, the magic light seemed to be like a giant dragon hanging across the sky, shining among the clouds.

But he doesn't continue to walk or fall down.

After looking at the two sides for a long time, Lu Liangsheng probably guessed two possibilities, perhaps there was no altar in the mountains or in the water, or the original altar might have been destroyed.

Soon after, the scroll was released, the soul returned to the body, and told the toad that he had guessed.

The latter burped, two short double webbeds were behind his butt, walking back and forth, and nodding.

"Maybe it is really as you think. This thing is connected to this world. You must go to Sichuan and Shu to take a look. What exactly is it?"

"I think so too."

It is common to practice Taoism and immortality, travel far away, or travel in the mountains and forests. Lu Laoshi and Li Jinhua can be regarded as seeing it, but it is a pity to not hold a grandson.

The news that Lu Liangsheng went out far away did not spread in the village. Wang Banxia heard the news that he had heard in the yard early. When he saw the scholar who had sorted out a few pieces of clothing, he hesitated for a while. When he saw the old donkey coming out, he put up the bookshelf and hurried forward.

“Master…”

"What's up?"

Lu Liang had good reins, hanged off the donkey's head, rubbed the mane behind the old donkey's neck, and looked at him sideways. The latter suddenly reached out and pulled the reins hanging under the donkey's mouth into his hand.

"Chengen wants to follow his master out and walk around..."

Fearing to be rejected, he hurriedly added: "Although Cheng'en can't see it, he can already enter the house with his qi skills, and will never slow down his master's journey."

"I thought why? You have been in Fushui County for many years. Since you want to go out with me, then leave. Some people just happen to be not following you."

Lu Liangsheng still had Wang Banbian pulling the reins. He said as he glanced at the Taoist under the eaves. Over there, Lu Xiaoxian raised his foot and kicked him, turning his head to look at the old tree's Sun Yingxian.

"Hiss~~ This is where I sit in the back, you don't understand."

The Taoist hugged his ankle and jumped on the spot a few times, tears of pain spreading over the corners of his eyes. He jumped on a stool and sat down, waved his hand silly.

"Go and come back soon."

Lu Xiaoxian was so angry that he grabbed the broom beside the wall and chased him, causing chaos in the yard.

In the yard, Lu Liangsheng asked the old donkey to wait outside first, and said something to his parents, then went to the village to see him off. Lu Pan said goodbye to the eight great men who came to see him off.

"I want to go to Shu, and Lao Sun is an unreserved person. The villagers in the village still have to rely on all their uncles."

"Liangsheng, don't worry, just go there."

"Yes, with eight people waiting for me, I will be here, and you will be sent away by the little monsters. If you don't help, there will be a Taoist priest."

"Oh, when can we go out to see the world with you and show off our mightyness. I heard that Chang'an is very big."

"Yes, maybe in the future, Liangsheng will have to rely on eight uncles to support the scene."

After talking and joking, Lu Liangsheng walked to the entrance of the village after eight people saw him off. Mingyue, who was almost seven years old, saw that the husband came out and wanted to go with him.

"No, you stay in Qixia Mountain to guard the magic circle. If you have nothing to do, go to Xiaoquan Mountain to talk to your mother for more time."

Lu Liangsheng gently stroked his head, and Mingyue felt that the idea of ​​going out faded, so she raised her little face and nodded.

"Well, Mingyue must guard Qixia Mountain when he heard what Mr. Mingyue said."

In the distance, when I heard the old donkey's whistle and Wang Banzai's cry, Lu Liangsheng smiled and patted the child's thin shoulders: "Here is like a little man, he is doing well. When the husband goes out next time, he will take you."

As he said that, he bowed farewell to the villagers who saw him at the entrance of the village, turned freely and walked to the road outside the village. On the other side, Wang Banxia pulled the old donkey with sweat on his face. In the shaking bookshelf, Taoist Toad tied two ropes and patted them with confidence. He sat by the door, knocked on the cigarette pole a few times, and shook off the ashes inside.

"Let's go."

Lu Liangsheng walked in front of them and snapped his fingers. The old donkey waved his head, shook the old man away, hummed twice and went behind the master, and shaking the copper bell under his neck.

The jingling sounds lightly, and this sunshine echoes.

Lu Liangsheng walked to the roadside, and on the far foot of the mountain, a figure in a red dress stood on the top of the tree and looked over. In the sunshine, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
