Know...know...know...know...

The green forest is filled with cicadas, and cicadas are singing one after another. Birds are flying, flapping their wings and holding the summer cicadas on the branches, holding them in their mouths, and the jingling rings are coming from a distance. The bird's eyes look at the shade of the tree slightly far away. The figure wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat leads an old donkey slowly over.

Behind him, he was also tied up his hands, but there was a woman in black dress looking around, looking excited, and occasionally poked her slender tongue out of her mouth, imitating the donkey in front to roll up the grass on the ground, chewed it a few times and spit it on the ground.

The jingling bell stopped by a river. Lu Liangsheng called the river water and raised fire to cook on the bank. He looked at a stone bridge not far away, took off his hat, put it aside, and sat down.

"There is a stone bridge, which means there are villages or towns nearby. Maybe you can find out where this place is."

On the grass, the toad held a small bowl, took a sip of tea, and let out a sip of heat.

"I guessed right. I should enter Jinzhou. As for how far I am from Shangyong City, I don't know. By the way, Liangsheng, should I practice "The Right Way of Qiankun" more when I have time to practice the golden elixir as soon as possible."

Lu Liang took care of the leaves on the straw raincoat. After several days of the journey, he didn't encounter a township on the way and didn't have the chance to change his clothes. He didn't have much money in his pocket, so he had to buy this straw raincoat and hat from a family in the mountains.

Hearing the master's words, he smiled and stirred the soup pot.

"There is no such easy place in the golden elixir. I just feel that this trend is faintly present. But speaking of this, Master, losing his mind that day and doing things all over his body gave me another layer of insight."

"Haha, then let's have a good understanding." The toad held the small bowl and took another sip. When a dragonfly flew over, it popped out its long tongue and rolled it into its mouth and swallowed it in its stomach. It patted its white belly, lay down on its back, and watched the sunshine pouring out.

"You have to understand the demonic nature and human nature. You can still stick to your original heart, which means that you will not be far from understanding your own way."

"What did the master realize?"

"Haha... I have no idea of ​​anything as a teacher."

Taoist Toad looked at the tree demon who also stretched out his tongue and rolled over the flying insects by the river... I was a demon in my life and ate countless people, so how could I have time to understand those things?

As he said that, he stretched his limbs lazily and yawned.

"Actually, whether you are a human or a demon, you are not as comfortable as you are now."

He scooped the broth into the bowl, Lu Liangsheng handed the master a bowl, and put the other bowl into the hand of the black-skirt tree demon. Looking at the confused expression, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your teachings, I understand."

Scream~

After taking a sip of the hot soup, the toad raised his face... I didn't even understand, he understood it?

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and after lunch, they packed up. It was already noon. Lu Liangsheng practiced "The Right Way of the Universe" for a while, and then he led the old donkey and crossed the stone bridge.

Wow

After walking for a few miles, the sun was west, and old crows fell on the dead trees and roared. In front of the road near and near, the outline of a small town was vaguely seen.

"Don't run! The one in front of you stops and turn around!"

A few loud shouts sounded, and four figures rushed out of the woods with swords and weapons, chasing one person and fighting. There were a burst of noises and rushed into a reed in a blink of an eye.

Green Linke, wearing a one-eyed blindfold, turned around and looked at Lu Liangsheng and the woman in black dress following him. Hearing a scream from his companion, he snorted, turned around and chased after him.

Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey and continued to move forward. Looking at the shaking reeds, he smiled and shook his head, and pulled the reins and crossed over.

"I didn't expect that there was still some chaos here."

In the compartment, the toad sounded: "Why don't you care?"

"Whatever it is for this kind of revenge is for one's own sake."

Walking to the town far away, the sound of wrought iron jingling sounded. The green forest knights with swords in the town were either together or hurried by. Several weapon shops were booming business, and the outside was full of weapons. The guy was barely asked for advice and bargaining with a man from the martial arts world. He said he was anxious. The blacksmith with a muscle on the side picked up the newly formed big knife in his hand and slashed it on the table next to him, causing the passing knights around him to look at him.

Not far from the end of the street, there were funerals with paper money sprinkled and suona playing passed by here crying, and the passing commercial vehicles made way for the deceased.

There were also whispering to others.

"How many times this month? It's the sixth one, and eight people died last year."

"Just say it's okay, why are you running into the woods?"

"It's probably because I'm obsessed with ghosts... But I heard that it seems to be a vixen."

"Vox spirit? Are you beautiful?"

"Tsk...you want to go? Then I'll go to your house for dinner."

....

“This town is lively enough.”

Lu Liangsheng moved a piece of money under his feet and told the woman who followed him not to stick out his tongue. He walked to an inn in front of him. The rich guests in the green forest were noisy, vulgar, and scolded, teasing the girl who was singing, which attracted a lot of whistles.

At the counter next to the door, the fat and big-eared shopkeeper was holding the account book with a cockscomb hat. Lu Liangsheng thought about what to ask and stepped forward and hunched.

"Shopkeeper, please..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, a thick-backed bone-chopping knife slashed on the counter. The shopkeeper raised his head: "What are you paying for? Whose account does my store owe?!"

The noise around and the singing stopped suddenly. Most of the drinkers entrenched inside were from all walks of life, most of whom had weapons. Someone touched the sword at the corner of the table, squinted his eyes, and looked at him with bad eyes.

Lu Liangsheng glanced at him and bowed to the shopkeeper at the counter with a smile.

"I'm not here to collect the accounts, I'm just here to stay and have a meal."

Looking at Lu Liangsheng's hat and straw raincoat dress, and speaking politely, the shopkeeper put away his knife, waved his hand, and pointed in a circle.

"The room is full and there is not much food, but even if you want to eat, there are no spaces here, and you will eat from the edge of the knife. It's better not to fight."

"Oh, that's OK, the shopkeeper, is this Jinzhou Shangyong?"

The shopkeeper waved impatiently, picked up the brush again, and buried his head in the account book.

"Yes, yes, go north twenty miles and you will be Shang Yong."

Lu Liangsheng nodded and bowed to thank him, and led Lao Lu to buy a few white-fried cakes from a cake shop outside. The pedestrians and tourists on the road looked at him more or less. Most of them looked at the woman in black dress, but there was no one who really came up to find a problem. I guess he also abide by the rules of the town.

Yellow paper money was scattered all over the town, and the sky gradually became darker.

Leaving this town and heading north, taking a shortcut to Shangyong, and going through a foothill. Looking around, the mist in the forest surging, and the moonlight shining through the branches seemed gloomy and mysterious.

Occasionally, the howling of the wolf comes from afar.

Lu Liangsheng carried the lantern and walked through the old donkey with one hand. He did not care about the sound of wolf from far and near. He turned a few big trees and the dim light of the lantern swayed. In the mist in front, a dilapidated building could be seen standing.

"Tonight, it seems that there is a place to stay. Master, let's make do with it for a night."

"Well, but here, the yin energy is a bit heavy." The toad pushed open the small door and looked around. Hong Lian in the painting also came out, flew to a nearby treetop and sat down, kicking her embroidered shoes.

"Just just passed by the market below and said that many people died. Will it be related to this place? Silly Tree Demon, do you think so?"

The least affected woman was the woman in black dress who was following the way, as if her soul was really seriously injured, she was confused and had never spoken on the way, and she felt curious about everything she saw.

"Are there few demons here on my side?"

Lu Liangsheng took the words and said, and pulled the old donkey to approach the building. A stone tablet stood in front of him, covered with dead branches and vines.

The hand was gently swung away, and the vines slid silently on both sides, revealing the inscription:

"Lanruo Temple?"

When I read the words lightly, birds flew in the surrounding forests, flapping their wings and hovering, and I didn't dare to fall.

The quiet part of the deep mountains is Lan Ruo. Lu Liangsheng thought about it, glanced at the changes of birds around him, and then looked at the dilapidated temple in front. The wooden steps were old and damaged, and the eaves collapsed and fell to the side. When he walked inside, weeds grew luxuriantly from the gaps between the floor tiles. Several Buddha statues had already collapsed and were covered with dust.

"Lan Ruo comes from Sanskrit: Alan Ruo, this place should be a monk temple, why is it abandoned? It's a pity."
