The spring rain drips fell down the eaves, and in the early morning, the spring rain for several consecutive days had stopped.

The morning light shone into the window frame, Nie Honglian lay beside the bed, blew in the scholar's ear with his chin, and whispered: "Young Master, it's time to get up."

The sunlight came to her, and she got up and floated into the painting. After a moment, she poked her head out again.

"Young Master!!"

Suddenly screaming, Lu Liangsheng was shocked and suddenly sat up from the bed. The female ghost on the opposite wall then smiled and stuck out her tongue. She returned to the painting with satisfaction, sat on the swing, slowly swinging around.

"ah……"

Lu Liangsheng yawned and glared at each other with Hong Lian on the painting. He then put on his robe and got up to wash. He just put on his shoes and walked two steps, and his feet were 'bar'.

The scholar looked down and the toad Taoist was lying on the ground with a loud toad eyes protruding, his tongue ejected and he was crammed out, and he was placing it on the ground.

Well……

He quickly lifted his feet, picked up his master, and whispered, "Master?"

The toad lying on the palm of his hand moved his eyes, retracted his tongue, and supported his limbs with a few trembling times, sat up, and knocked his back with a webbed back.

"evil……"

Before the toad could spit out the words of scolding, Lu Liangsheng exclaimed lightly and found that there were piles of paper everywhere on the ground. He picked up a ball of waste paper and spread it out. It was covered with black ink, and the outline of the terrain could be vaguely seen.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Hong Lian stirred her feet, shook the swing, and said with a smile on the painting:

"Master Toad has been drawing all night and fell asleep on the ground."

cough--

The toad coughed twice, and the toad glanced at the side. After thinking about it, his eyes turned and his expression became serious.

"As a teacher, I have lived with you for a long time, and I have been involved in many worldly fireworks and secular emotions. I miss my hometown a little bit. Unfortunately, my teacher's magic power has disappeared, and my cultivation has been lost. I can't go back to my original place... I can only draw my hometown in my memory to relieve the pain of homesickness."

Inside the house, Lu Liangsheng picked up a bunch of waste paper and piled it on the desk. After unfolding for a long time, he probably saw some outlines and looked back at the master.

"Since the master cannot draw well, then tell me orally, I'll draw it."

After saying that, considering the size of the master, it was convenient to read at any time, Lu Liangsheng took a small scroll from the bookshelf and spread it on the table. He listened to the voice of the Toad Taoist, and slowly wrote down his pen to outline the lines of the mountains.

"From this Chen Dynasty to the north, twenty miles west of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is a tomb mountain, seven miles east..."

The oral narrative of Taoist Toad, name of mountains, name of rivers, and even several major roads were drawn. Lu Liangsheng put down his pen and lifted the small scroll up in the sun and blew the ink stains on it.

"Master, from this painting, it looks like a view from the sky, and..."

Lu Liangsheng turned his head and looked at the toad Taoist sitting on the table.

"......Is this a map?"

"At that time, my master had a high level of cultivation and often rushing to the clouds and fog. What I saw was naturally like this!"

Taoist Toad looked at the map and said, tightening his short legs and jumping back and forth a few times. His webbing was half an inch away from the drawing axis, so he could not get it. He had to give up and sit back again, with the frog webbing on his chin.

"Okay, this is the map. It is where Master Wei hid a lot of elixirs and magic. If he hadn't recovered for so long, Master Wei wouldn't want to run so far... Especially when he was bullied by a small centipede demon! Master Wei couldn't swallow this breath!!"

"Hide the elixir, magic?" Lu Liangsheng raised his eyebrows.

The toad raised his eyelids and sighed.

"But it probably won't be gone. I feel like someone has moved that place, as if someone has been invaded..."

The Toad Taoist did not say the speculation about the Earth Demon Yin Fire Array. After all, if a secret is involved, there will be more secrets to be exposed, and I still understand it.

But now, my apprentice is no longer the stupid mountain village boy four years ago.

The toad looked at the scholar with a serious expression, but his heart was beating.

...Don't let him see it.

Never see it.

Don't see it...

"Ryosen, have you gotten up?!"

At this time, Wang Shuhua's voice sounded outside. The moment Lu Liangsheng turned his head, his scarlet long tongue wrapped around the scroll in his hand and pulled it out.

Taoist Toad picked up the scroll and jumped off the desk, swayed his tongue and ran excitedly into the small compartment of the bookshelf, stretched out his webbing and pulled it off, and closed the door.

“...”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the empty palm and hung speechlessly. The master seemed to have lost a lot of good things... he thought about turning around and opening the door and walking out.

Outside, the old man was holding his hands and looking up at Wutong, the Crescent Gate, inside and outside the door, there were also many maids and servants surrounding him, looking at the old tree with unanimous eyes.

The courtyard was rejuvenated in a few days, which really made the whole mansion feel incredible.

"I remember this tree for many years. When the master just served as the Minister of State, the lady was still very young."

"I have been in the mansion for several years. I'm clearly seeing that the tree is dying, why is it alive again?"

"Is it a student of Shuhua Gong?"

"You said Mr. Lu... Once, I heard that the master lost his composure after drinking, and vaguely heard that Mr. Lu is a cultivator..."

"Hey, a person in the practice? That's amazing. No wonder he can let this old tree have a second spring."

"Stop talking, Mr. Lu is out and we'll be disbanded soon."

...

Lu Liangsheng naturally heard the whispers there. As for Wutong there, he used his magic power to save the old tree by using his magic power a few days ago.

I don’t know whether it was because of the thunder tribulation or my cultivation, but I made some progress in calligraphy and painting. Every time I sat under a tree, I felt the sadness of the sycamore tree being about to die.

The morning light was shining brightly that day, Lu Liangsheng looked at the wutong tree and sighed.

"I will save your life to thank you for your shelter from the wind and rain for many days."

During the nine days between the spring examinations, the originally sparse leaves gradually became dense, the old skin fell off, and new ones grew, which became the current lush branches and leaves, allowing the servants and maids in the mansion who often passed by the Crescent Gate to witness the miracle of the dead trees in spring. The mystery of the mansion was enough to make the mansion feel awe of this mysterious young master Lu.

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Liangsheng came behind his mentor and raised his hand.

"Mr., have you gone out?"

"Ha... magical, mysterious!" Shuhua Gong looked at the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees that were stroking in the wind, sighed, turned around, with a smile on his face.

"My teacher has just gone out, but before he was halfway through, he received a message from Shangshu Min, asking him to inform you to prepare and go to the palace to conduct the palace examination later. This is the last test of entering the career of officialdom, and you should be treated with caution."

Lu Liangsheng was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, after the test, there will be a few days apart. If you encounter important government affairs, it will take a longer time. Lu Liangsheng is ready to ride a horse on the street, but he will be asked to go to the palace to prepare for the exam the next day.

"It's good that things are so fast... it's good that things are about Liangzhou and the things about protecting the country and law are all things that should be quick and not delayed."

There was still a little time. Lu Liangsheng immediately returned to the house to wash up and tidied up his appearance. Soon, someone from the palace came over and taught some rules after entering the palace in vivid detail.

"......Lu Jinshi, when you arrive in the palace, don't go around. Many places are strictly prohibited from entering by outsiders. If you break in randomly, you will be punished. This palace examination is supervised by Your Majesty himself, but don't cheat. Cheating in front of Your Majesty, even the gods cannot save it. Lu Jinshi must remember it in his heart, and there is still..."

The eunuch who came out of the palace talked a lot in a long way, and Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but rub the other side. After listening patiently, he took out some scattered silver from his sleeve. The eunuch nodded with a smile, grabbed the palm of his hand and stuffed it into the cuff without a trace, covered his mouth, and smiled flatteringly.

"Lu Jinshi is handsome and good at being a human being. In the future, he will definitely have a great future."
