The foothills are light green, and the branches and leaves all over the mountains sway in the wind.

The spring breeze gently brushed across the fields, and the spring swallows chirped and cried, carrying mud to the village. Below their spread wings, farmers with their trousers rolled over the ridges of the fields and greeted people from afar. Not far away, a girl carrying a basket and carrying a kettle stepped across the hooked ditches, placed a pottery bowl by her own field, and called her relatives who were working in the fields to come over and drink a sip of water.

"Just come"

Lu Laoshi watched the stream flow slowly in from his relative's field with mud, and turned around and called his wife to take a rest and drink a sip of water. He also called Sun Yingxian, who was waving a hoe in the field.

Wow, he leaned on the hoe to get out of the mud. The Taoist raised his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, gasped, and turned his head and screamed.

"Old pig, go and drink water!"

The dark and fat man put down his hoe, hugged the short hexagram and wiped his face, and went to Lu Xiaoxian with the Taoist to sit down, took the pottery bowl and took a bite.

"Where did Lu Liangsheng go?"

The Taoist took the water from the girl's hand, raised his face and looked around. The surroundings were all the villagers of Lujia Village and Bei Village who were busy with spring plowing.

After drinking a sip of water, the Taoist raised his chin in one direction.

"Go to arrange a small spiritual gathering array."

After drinking water, they rested for a while. Li Jinhua, Lu Laoshi and his wife, Taoist, and Zhu Gangli went back to the ground and spent the whole morning doing the work of turning over soil and diversion. Originally, Sun Yingxian wanted to use magic, but Liang Sheng refused to let him say: "Spring plowing is natural, and spell shortcuts are easy to become lazy."

"Oh, that's OK."

‘Hota!’

Zhu Gangli said, walked back to the field, spitted into his palm, rubbed it, took the hoe, and chiseled it into the ground with a "Hahey--" sound.

The handle bar connecting the hoe at the end was broken, leaving only a bare piece piercing into the mud, causing Li Jinhua to chase him with a hoe.

The villagers working around stood up and wiped the sweat stains on their faces as they watched the scene, and they all laughed.

......

Around the river, more than ten feet away, more than a dozen men kept waving their hoes barefoots, hooking the soil by the river, and diverting water to irrigate the fields.

A young man in blue clothes and linen cloth dressed simply and had his long hair tied up. He stood in the middle of the river with his trousers rolled up, catching up an oval stone as big as a fist and threw it to the shore.

"Hong Lian stands a little further and be careful to splash the mud spots."

"Young Master, isn't there a spirit gathering array on the mountain?" Hong Lian squatted on the shore, watching the wet big rocks rolling not far away, and was a little puzzled to support her chin.

Lu Liangsheng took the mud on Tao's hands in the water, and suddenly he splashed the bullet at the woman who was looking at him, which made Hong Lian raise her sleeves to cover her face, "Oh..." stood up gently, stamped her feet and shouted, "Young Master, don't make trouble!"

The scholar walked up from the river with a smile.

"Okay, I won't mess with you."

After going to the riverside, his feet were still in the water, Lu Liangsheng sat down on the ground, took the stone and placed it on his legs, with the magic patterns left by the original arrangement.

"The one on the mountain is not actually considered a spirit gathering array, this is it."

He patted the stone in his hand, poured the original magic carving pattern on the stone, and quickly extended along the carving. After the entire magic pattern lit up, it gradually disappeared, and looked back to the ordinary stone.

Lu Liangsheng threw it back into the river, and with a thud, the water splashed and fell down. The ripples that spread out disappeared with the water flowing, and the scholar continued:

"When the magic power above finally ended, I re-referred to the structure of this magic array a few days ago and found a way to serialize it with the large spiritual gathering array on the mountain, so that the energy will continue to nourish this place."

Seeing Hong Lian's suspicious eyes, Lu Liangsheng laughed, remembering that he was sitting by the river like this, and looked at his master in confusion.

"Don't worry, you won't become a demon or a spirit. You can only make these fish and shrimps taste delicious and bigger."

As he grew older and his experience, Lu Liangsheng vaguely suspected that "Shiyi in the South Shui" and "Qinghuai Bud Dreams" were actually the Toad Taoist who picked up some of his own preferences and selected some of them. Especially in "Qinghuai Bud Dreams", it either rejuvenates things or nourishes the words. Two-thirds of the whole book feels like "eat".

Although Hong Lian has been worshipped from the Rakshasa ghost to the present, he has not had a deeper understanding of magic than Lu Liangsheng. When it comes to the toad Taoist, he has not seen him for many days.

I couldn't help asking the scholar.

"Young Master, why did Master Toad come out of seclusion? He misses him a little."

"I also delivered food two days ago, but he didn't say when."

Walking along the river to the next magic array node, the scholar stopped, stared at the water surface and frowned: "If the injury is successfully repaired, after leaving the seclusion, the spirit gathering array will react. At present... nothing happened. But I think with the master's concentration and the perseverance of his past cultivation, he should not care about food."

The sun shines through the undulating river water, and a shimmering wave flows eastward, heading westward to the Qixia Mountain Grottoes shrouded in clouds.

The oil lamp was dim and there was a sound of squeaking sound.

The toad Taoist mentioned by the scholar was now sitting on the ground with his legs straight and seemed to feel someone talking about him. He turned his head and looked around with his cheeks bulging.

‘Hire~~’

He swallowed the food in his mouth hard, then he felt comfortable and hugged his heavy belly. He walked to the stone bed with his flippers, raised his toad face, and his eyes narrowed.

In an instant, his legs tightly kicked, and ejected out, pulling out a afterimage... Then, his belly was pressed against the edge of the bed, and he hung his legs outside on the edge of the bed and kicked hard for a few times before he climbed up.

Huhu...

Sitting there panting, the toad Taoist touched the toad's face and belly.

"How long has it been in seclusion? Why do you feel like you have gained a lot of weight?"

"It may also be my illusion..."

"Forget it... do the most important thing first."

He muttered to himself a few times, and Taoist Toad stood up with his knees and ran to the wooden drawer with the hole wall at the bottom of the stone bed. On the shelf above, the round thing was covered under the cloth.

The lights illuminated the cave room, reflecting the short figure, slowly approaching with the frog webbing. The toad mouth hummed twice, and the round frog webbing grabbed the cloth and pulled it away, throwing it away from the corner of the bed.

A green bead was placed on the shelf tray, and the misty air surrounded and slowly floated. The Toad Taoist took it and held it in front of him and took a deep breath.

On the demon pill, the light was reflected on the lights, reflecting a toad mouth slightly opened, and then it opened almost to the back of the head.

"Hmph...hahaha...ahhhhh--"

The toad held the demon pill, raised his face and opened his mouth wide, and laughed wildly.

"......there's only one last step left. I can finally return to the top and look down on the world!!"
