In Xiaoquan Mountain, the spring rain stopped, and the remaining raindrops passed through the tips of the leaves and fell off the wet ground. The crisp sound of the dead branches breaking. The old donkey with its hooves shook its tail and walked through the familiar path. In the shaking bookshelf, the toad Taoist pushed open the small door.

"Liangsheng, since he has entered the country, why do he still look like this? It's so uncomfortable for the teacher to see it."

On the side, a wisp of blue smoke floating outlined, solidifying into Hong Lian's figure, looking down and floating beside the figure walking in front.

"Young Master, what's there to say?"

"Let's talk about it when you're on the road."

The sun shone on his shoulders, Lu Liangsheng looked at the wrinkled back of his hands, pursed his lips and smiled, erasing the long beard from his chin, "In the future, I can also call myself an old man, haha."

Seeing that the forest was about to come out in front of me, I vaguely heard the sound of water rushing down from the waterfall. Lu Liangsheng pushed away the hanging branches, "Master, is that mermaid doing well here?"

"It's good to have me here." On the bookshelf, the Toad Taoist climbed onto the donkey's back and sat down on the donkey's head: "Liangsheng, then we will go back to Chang'an?"

Lu Liangsheng hesitated for a moment, but walked out of the forest behind him. Looking at the water vapor rising in the air, a fish shadow flapping down from the river above, and a banging sound of water came.

"Well, putting her back to the East China Sea should be back to Chang'an. Your Majesty should have started to build the Grand Canal in the past few years. I don't know what happened. The matter of the demon star and the immortals in the sky have also been sent to the world. A lot of things need to be done."

With a sigh, Lu Liangsheng held the reins and turned around the corner covered by the forest. The water vapor rose over there, and the crisp female voice shouted loudly? He waved his tail and tried hard to go upstream. He swam up the waterfall. A red fox crawled beside the pond and shook his furry ears. He turned his head and saw an old man with a slightly hunched body and white hair and hair, wearing a gray wide-sleeved robe, walking slowly and fast, and there was an old donkey behind him? and a toad Taoist on his head.

Yanzhi stared at the former and slowly supported her limbs? Feeling the familiar breath? She swung her fluffy tail and jumped to the ground? She turned into a high-padded and elegant woman with a plump figure? She bowed to the old man who was coming.

"I'm not alone with rouge? Meet sir."

As a demon, his external appearance is not the first priority? The first reaction of the old man in front of him was to know who was back.

"Get up." Lu Liangsheng raised his hand and asked her to get up, listening to the slogans of "hee" coming from the waterfall? The fox girl who was rising up? Waving to let the mermaids who were wandering against the waterfall over there? The voice was calm and said to Yanzhi behind him:

"Thank you for the hard work over the years, and I will take her away today."

"yes."

Yanzhi turned around and looked at the little fishman who rushed into the pool and swam to the shore. His lips trembled slightly. He hesitated for a moment, and his body was slightly shortened. "Yanzhi practiced here for a long time and hadn't seen Mingyue for many years. I was worried about it. Can you let him come back to Qixia Mountain?"

This red fox is not an ordinary domestic animal without spiritual consciousness. It has not been seen by nature, mother and son, for a long time. How could Lu Liangsheng not understand this reason? However, he still has to wait until he returns to Chang'an to arrange things properly.

"Well, I won't be unreasonable. When I return to Chang'an this time, I will ask Mingyue to come back. Now a few years have passed, and I should have grown a lot and I can come back along the way by myself."

"Thank you, Mr.

Yanzhi wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, which was very happy. She quickly gave Lu Liangsheng a bow before he gave up. After talking casually, he talked a few things in the mountains, and cast a spell to wrap some pool of water on the mermaid, put it off the donkey's back, took the reins, and called out: "Go away!"

The pedaling hoof sound went to the opposite direction of the road at the foot of the mountain, crossed Xiaoquan Mountain, walked to the east, crossed several stretches of mountains, and arrived at the edge of the magic array of the Wanling Array. It was already two days later.

Wow

The gentle sea breeze rolled up the waves and pounced on the beach with a faint fishy smell. It was the first time that Hong Lian saw the vast sea. He screamed excitedly, "Ah!", floated out of the bookshelf, threw his embroidered shoes, and stepped on the soft and wet beach shallow water. After holding a few shells, the hem of the skirt was flying in laughter. The old donkey also followed behind and jumped up and down, stretched out his tongue and rolled over a shell on the ground, grinding it into his mouth.

"Jiji"

The mermaid with fish tails moved quickly away the sea water on the beach, stretched her hands and lay on her back into the sea water. Her long loose hair was still driven by the waves, her eyes widened, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and smelling the smell of the sea water.

This is her home.

The waves pushed some white foam on the beach, leaving a shallow watermark. Lu Liangsheng faced the sea breeze, his pale hair shook, and he looked at Hong Lian with his hands in his arms. The old donkey ran, and the little mermaid churned and cheerfully in the sea.

On the side of the steps that were moving, Taoist Toad was also watching this scene, "Liangsheng, can you tell me what he said in Xiaoquan Mountain now?"

Hearing this, the walking figure stopped. Among the white beards that were stroking in the wind, Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips at the end of the sky and the sea. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. He thought about the words before he spoke.

"Master, I don't know how to tell you that it is not easy to master the Kongtong Seal, especially the body of a mortal. People who practice Taoism are also the body of a mortal in front of the artifact..."

"That's why there is birth, old age, sickness and death?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death?" Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, understood what his master was referring to, and nodded: "The Kongtong Seal was originally held by the Human Emperor. When the First Emperor went to sea to find it, not only for the right to enthrone the gods, but also for immortality. However, there are very few immortals, and even the gods in the sky are not immortal."

His voice was floating in the wind.

"............ After returning from the West, my disciples have been thinking. After returning to Qixia Mountain, I saw my hometown and recalled my past experiences. The people and things around me suddenly understood something."

Taoist Toad retracted his vision from afar, raised his toad face and looked at his apprentice: "What do you understand?"

"It's what Master just said, birth, old age, sickness and death."

The sea breeze blew the robe. After Lu Liangsheng said that, he fell silent. He looked at Hong Lian, who was holding a conch in front and shouting at him with a smile on his lips.

He continued to speak again: "Eternal life and immortality are not that easy. It is not that easy to eat a few natural treasures and get one thing. Immortality is contrary to the way of heaven. Only by experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, and walking through this circle, can we understand what immortality is."

Taoist Toad thought about these words carefully and vaguely felt that it made sense.

"Who told you this? I don't believe you can think about it yourself."

Next to him, Lu Liangsheng opened his mouth silently and pointed to the sky: Heavenly Way.

"That thing can talk?"

"Why can't you? I've still talked a lot in Guixu."

The toad tilted his head and looked at the sky, hurriedly chasing the disciple behind: "Liangsheng, wait, what else did it say? Tell me about it quickly."

"...... Let the disciple think about it, and also say that after things are done in the future, I will let my body rush to the sky pavilion."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

"What does the master think it will say?"

"Where do you know if you are a teacher..."

One master and one disciple, one behind and one forward strolling the beach left a series of footprints of toads of all sizes.
