The breeze in the forest blows the mist.

The Taoist who came back with the peach wood sword only noticed the scholar standing at the temple gate, Nie Honglian and Toad Taoist, who were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked forward.

"Hey, why are you here?"

When Lu Liangsheng saw the old man, he was also very happy, but he was a little puzzled, how could he meet here?

"I should ask you this, isn't it in the world where demons are subdued? Why are you still here?"

He said that and invited him into the temple.

Over there, Sun Yingxian walked a few steps, his face suddenly changed. He remembered something important, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "You go in first, I have forgotten something very important."

In the sight of Lu Liangsheng and the other two, they turned around and ran into the wood opposite, and rustled for a while. They just came out, and said, "I just arrived in a hurry, forgot to wipe..."

Nie Honglian glared at the Taoist: "Disgusting!"

Look at his movements and the sentence: "Forgot to wipe..."

It was not difficult for Lu Liangsheng to think of what it was, and he couldn't help laughing, and returned to the bonfire, took out the bowls and chopsticks from the small compartment under the bookshelf.

"Just start eating, sit down and eat together."

The Taoist who had tied his belt was not polite, so he sat down cross-legged and smelled the rice porridge in the pot.

"Why are there no meat? Fortunately, I passed by a village in the afternoon and caught some in the fields."

As he said that, he took out a few skinned items from the bag around his waist, which were white and only the size of a palm. He tore it into several pieces and threw it into the pot.

A scent of meat rose from the pot.

Lu Liangsheng broke a dead branch and threw it into the fire. He watched Sun Yingxian scooped a spoonful of porridge and soup into the bowl, and asked again what he said after leaving the temple.

“……How come you are here?”

"You may not believe it." The Taoist took a sip and sat down close to him: "I have been traveling for two years and passed by Hegu County. When I remembered Lujia Village, I came to see my old friend. Halfway through stomachache, I went to shit. As a result, the four bastards ran over and ran into each other in a panic and ran into each other. They also said that there were monsters here. Now, I have the heart to subdue demons and protect the Tao, and my pants come as soon as I lifted them."

Nie Honglian spat at him from a distance.

"The Demon-Eliminating Guardian... You looked so anxious just now, guess if we believe it."

Over there, Sun Yingxian had to laugh dryly. Whether it was a female ghost or a woman saying it, it was still a bit difficult to answer this.

Lu Liangsheng scooped a bowl of meat porridge and handed it to Master Toad, and asked, "By the way, where have you been in the past two years?"

"northwest."

The Taoist buried his head, dinged the chopsticks on the bottom of the bowl, and quickly finished eating, wiped his mouth, and then served another bowl.

"... I went to other places first, and went to the northwest one year later, and ate sand for a year, but..."

Speaking of this, Sun Yingxian squatted beside the fire with a bowl, smiling proudly: "...but this path has made rapid progress and has already reached the foundation-building realm."

There are two small realms of foundation building, one is Kan Xu and the other is to promote reality. Lu Liangsheng has only reached Kan Xu's small realm in the past three years. He is in a hurry to come out and participate in the autumn examination, and has the idea of ​​improving his cultivation.

While thinking about it, Taoist Toad suddenly spoke, chewing the meat picked up from the porridge, and asked, "This meat is good, what kind of meat is it? I have never eaten it..."

"I haven't eaten this kind of meat?" Sun Yingxian picked up a piece from his arms and raised it at the toad: "Frog."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment and looked at his master.

"What is a frog?" The toad took the meat chewed in his exit and looked carefully. There were frog webs connected. His short body was immediately fixed on the spot, and his veins bulged and swelled.

The next moment, he picked up the small branches on the ground, jumped up, and waved wildly at the Taoist head!

"Please ask me to eat the same kind of person, I'm not at ease."

Although it didn't hurt, Sun Yingxian still hugged his head and dodged, shouting: "I respect the elderly and love the young, it's never right... By the way, you are not a frog, why are you hitting me?!"

Taoist Toad was stunned for a moment, Yu Guang glanced at his apprentice, coughed twice, lost his twigs, and walked back with his webbed.

"I am telling you not to kill indiscriminately."

Shaking his head and sighing, smiling at Lu Liangsheng, "I have been a toad for more than three years, and I almost treat myself as real..." As he said that, he threw the remaining meat from the bowl back into the pot.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the frog meat floating on the porridge in the bowl, "Then I will cook another pot for the master later."

"Need not."

The Toad Taoist sat down and the frog slapped suddenly: "I just feel it's a little light, add some salt."

The Taoist covered his head, sat back to the campfire, and wiped the marks on his face.

"I'm just beaten up in vain..."

This sentence caused the toad Taoist to stare at the toad eyes, making Nie Honglian and Lu Liangsheng laughed secretly. After a while, Lu Liangsheng and Sun Yingxian continued to talk.

"By the way, what's going on in the northwest? Why did you run back?"

"There is a bit messy there. In the first two months, there was no drop of rain. A few people in the Taoist practice came over and casting spells and asking for rain was useless... Now there is no seeds in spring and no harvest in the second half of the year. There will be a big mess."

Lu Liangsheng frowned and looked at the swaying flames.

"Where is the imperial court?"

"I haven't seen it."

Sun Yingxian put down the bowl and lay down on the hay laid on the ground, pillowing his hands on the back of his head, with a complex and unspeakable tone.

"...... Anyway, I haven't seen it on the road when I came back. It's hard to endure this year."

The leaves outside the temple were rustling, and the temple was relatively quiet. Taoist Toad was not concerned about these things. After eating, he turned over and fell asleep.

Lu Liangsheng stared at the fire in silence, and suddenly laughed: "There are so many capable people in the court, so what are the two of us idle people in the mountains and rivers?"

The Taoist on the other side of the bonfire also felt that the topic was a bit heavy, and then he changed his words.

"... By the way, why are you in this dilapidated temple?"

"Go to take this year's autumn examination and take the imperial examination." The scholar spread his hands: "Otherwise, how could we meet?"

As soon as he heard Lu Liangsheng talk about his academic matters, Sun Yingxian quickly covered his ears and turned to the side.

"Stop talking about your things, my scalp numb when I heard them... and said that when I arrived in Lujia Village, I had no chance to eat the food cooked by your mother."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and took a book and read it in a fire.

"It's better to go to Hegu County with me, and go back to Lujia Village together after the provincial examination."

“Speak again…”

Sun Yingxian must have been exhausted all the way back. After saying a few words, he fell asleep in a deep snoring, and there was also a slight sound of paper turning.

On the side, Nie Honglian lay on the sacred platform and quietly looked at the scholar's concentrating side face, curled his lips and chuckled a pair of dimples.

“……so beautiful.”

Not long after, a golden light shone in the distant east, piercing through the clouds and spilling down, pushing and dispersing the black edges that enveloped the world inch by inch.

The old donkey screamed excitedly. The group of people in the temple had already prepared their clothes, walked through the mountains and bound for the county town to the north, talking and laughing along the way, and it was so lively.
