Chapter 407: A party goes north, the crowd is overwhelming
The last ray of rays of rays fell on the hill, and dark tides surged.
The lights of the mountain village gradually faded out. During the spring plowing season, the villagers worked hard one day earlier than usual, and occasionally there were a few barking sounds of dogs in the middle of the night.
Wow, wow, wow—
The night wind blew over the fenced courtyard, and under the swaying cypress trees, Lu Liangsheng brought food out of the kitchen, walked under the eaves and returned to the room. Soon, the dim light illuminated the window lattice.
"Master, it's time to eat."
In the warm yellow room, Lu Liangsheng put the rice full of rice and braised pork on the table. Next to the pillow on the couch, the toad Taoist covered with bedding sat up, with a black towel wrapped around his face. He climbed onto the table and looked at the rice slowly in front of him. The fat meat smacked his lips, but sat down and sighed dejectedly.
When he saw his apprentice, he quickly covered the black scarf and waved his other webbing.
"Go aside, don't look."
The scholar smiled and sat on the edge of the bed behind the Toad Taoist.
"Master, you'll have two beards, just think they're two beards. Don't you think Lao Sun has two thighs on his lips?"
It seemed like someone heard it outside, and the voice of a Taoist came from.
"Old Lu, don't joke with me if you're okay, I'm listening."
In the room, Taoist Toad saw that he wanted to eat but couldn't eat it. His two short legs stretched straight, his two webbeds wrapped around his chest, and his cheeks contracted with bulging breath.
"It's not growing in your mouth..."
Then, he let go of his webbing and pointed to his face with anger: "I am a toad! Where does the toad have beards? If other monsters see it, wouldn't it be a joke to me?"
Lu Liangsheng tried hard to scrape the comforting words in his mind, thought for a while, organized the words, and said, "Aren't Lao Zhu and Qi You the monsters? I'm just laughing at you, don't worry too much, just have a meal, but my mother's braised pork inside, and it will get cold after it's left for a while."
"They two?" As soon as they talked about leaving the customs in the afternoon and returning to the village, the toad became even more angry: "The pig demon smiled the most happily, and the tree demon, who touched the master's beard for no reason... I don't know what went wrong, but a pair of beards grew."
As he said that, he also glanced at the fragrant braised pork, swallowed his saliva, and reached out to get the chopsticks.
Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting along the bed, actually thought about this question. When he mentioned it again, he couldn't help but frown, stared at the black scarf covered on the face of the Toad Taoist, and suddenly patted his legs hard.
"Master, it may be related to the fish and beauty pill. That pair of beards is probably also fish and beauty pills!"
The scholar suddenly opened his mouth, frightening the toad that had originally stretched out his webbed. He fell directly on the table. Lu Liangsheng got closer and reached out to help him up: "Master, he actually has two fish whiskers, which are quite beautiful and show his majesty!"
Hearing the word "Magic", the toad leaned against the bowl, rubbed his chin suspiciously, squinted the toad's eyes, touched the two fleshy whiskers at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at the apprentice next to him.
"Liangsheng, are you serious?"
Lu Liangsheng smiled and nodded: "It's true."
On the other side, Taoist Toad took off the black scarf and looked at the bronze mirror. After looking at it for a long time, the toad smiled and made a few expressions. It seemed that it was pretty good. He nodded with the bronze mirror with his double webbeds, sat back to the edge of the bowl, took the chopsticks, and started eating in a comfortable mood.
Dada drank a few bites of rice and swallowed it. She rolled it with a long tongue, dragged it over the braised pork on the noodles and ate it into her mouth. She chewed it slowly and savored the fatty feeling. When Yu Guang saw his apprentice still sitting there, he asked vaguely: "Liangsheng...what else is there?"
The Toad Taoist's mouth was filled with food and his speech was blurry, which made Lu Liangsheng next to him smile. Seeing that the master was fine, he felt much more comfortable.
"It's okay...just take a look."
It was actually quite interesting to watch the master eat, but the scholar told him everything that happened in nearly two months. He didn't get married, so the toad Taoist knew about it. As for the strange beasts on his body who were busy with marriage at that time, I didn't say anything about it in detail about dealing with the painted skin demon.
"I know that something is strange, and I will collect it later. The magic weapon for you to collect demons is."
After dinner, the toad lay down on the bedding and scratched his belly. When he remembered the beginning of spring, he sat up again: "By the way, are we going to leave Qixia Mountain? Remember the last time you made an agreement with that emperor?"
"Um."
Lu Liangsheng cleaned up the dishes and took them to the water tank outside to clean them. He had already promised Emperor Sui Yang Jian earlier, so he naturally wanted to go there. It is rare for an emperor to be so kind.
However, before going to Chang'an again, there is one thing to do, that is, last year, I promised to go to Luohe Town to erect monuments, but not only did I have to pile up stones, but also pile up and carve them to make them seem to be punished for the master. Of course, these are definitely not enough, and there is still something I can do, and I can only send the magic weapons that Master had plundered back to others.
‘Anyway, make up for it one by one.’
After returning to the house and talking to the master for a while, Hong Lian also came from the temple. The two of them leaned against each other under the eaves, quietly watching a branch that reached into the corner of the eaves swaying in the wind.
"This time I went out, it may be a long time since I was in trouble at home, and I will worry more about my family."
Hong Lian, in a plain white dress, held the man's hand tightly on his legs, leaned against his shoulder, looked at the stretched branches, and said no, and then spoke.
"When you leave, take Qiyou with you too. Although her soul is blurry, Daoxing is still there. If something happens, it may still play a big role."
"Then are you relieved?" Lu Liangsheng emphasized and emphasized: "Qi is so beautiful and trust me."
Hong Lian hesitated for a moment, leaned on her shoulder and smiled.
"Hong Lianxin Young Master."
The window frame behind the back, the toad Taoist who was flipping through the recipe in the room, poked out half of his face from the booklet, thinking that he was just talking about serious things, but he actually said this?
It would be better to see two more dishes... Well, this dish is good, the southern sauce penetrates the tender sheep, and steams for two hours, and the taste is to the bone...
The lights shook slightly, and the men and women under the eaves talked a lot again, and the barking of dogs in the village became quiet. When Hong Lian was sent away, Lu Liangsheng returned to the house. On the bed, the toad Taoist slept with a quilt. He picked up the small book that had not been closed and put it on the table. He blew the lights and lay down with a wide clothes. Thinking about what happened in the future, he slowly fell asleep.
Soon, Lu Liangsheng was about to travel north and the news of his career going to Chang'an to become an official was spreading. The old and young people in the village knew about it before. The sky was bright and the sky was rising into the clouds. In the morning, the villagers who fetched water, washed and washed rice gathered together as usual to chat about family matters.
"I heard that Liangsheng is leaving, do you know?"
"When the time comes, I will know. Then I will give him a few more cakes to eat on the way."
"...I'm going to be an official now. I heard from people outside that Chang'an is very big. I entered through the east gate and walked for a day before I came out from the west gate."
"Oh, it's so much bigger than Fushui County?"
"Oh, if you have the chance, I really want to go out and see the world outside."
"That's right, Wang Banyan has gone..."
"That half blind is Liangsheng's disciple. There is a place to live there. Who will we go to live? I heard that I don't let you sleep on the street."
When the parents talked about this, a woman rubbed her clothes screamed "Ouch" and wiped the water stains on her back of her hands and stood up.
"Isn't that Liangsheng? How do you say it?"
The busy woman around, the man raised his eyes and on the way to the fenced courtyard, Lu Liangsheng, wearing a blue shirt and a white robe, led the old donkey and carried two bookshelfs slowly out, followed by Lu Laoshi and his wife.
Seeing someone in the village looking at him, he nodded at them with a smile. He actually didn't want to do anything about it when he went out, so he only knew the time he left.
"Dad, mom, stop sending me off. It's not the first time I'm away."
After walking past the village entrance, Lu Liangsheng turned around and waved goodbye to his parents. Xiaoxian waved goodbye. The latter three had experienced it several times, but they were not too sad. They just told the outside to be careful and miss home after finishing their work, so they came back to take a look.
As my mother talked, the scholar took the donkey and walked away gradually, quietly carrying the father and daughter next to him, and wiped the corners of his eyes.
The sun shines on the mountains and forests, and the crisp sound of birds singing in the forest.
On the mountain road that passed, the Taoist yawned and sat sleepy on the stones on the roadside to bask in the morning sun. This time he was going to follow him. The fat pig Gangli squatted on the ground, eating pancakes, and a wooden rake on his shoulder.
On the back of the old donkey and the shaking bookshelf, the Toad Taoist changed into a beautiful dress, pushed open the small door, subconsciously patted the rope tied around his waist, and waved the frog web.
"Liangsheng, you can get on the road!"
The scholar in front of the donkey head held the reins and looked slightly, smiled and nodded, greeted the Taoist on the side of the road, and the pig demon stood up.
Er, Hum~~
The old donkey raised his neck, shook his mane, followed the master's footsteps, and hissed excitedly, shaking the copper bell under his neck, and wandering around the mountain road.
The sound of ding bells echoed, in the distance, a woman in a white dress stood under the old pineapple.
What I have to say in the past two days has been said. Lu Liangsheng walked to the side of the road, looked at Hong Lian who was waving his hand, raised his sleeves and bowed to say goodbye.
"Let's go!"
He said softly and turned around and left. However, not long after passing Honglian Temple, there were eight big men wearing short hexagrams and open chests in the middle of the mountain road ahead, and their broad shoulders were covered with bags, like a wall blocking them.
"Uncle Pan? You guys are..."
"Your mother is worried that you will go to Chang'an. After becoming an official, she has no confidant command, so let the eight of us go with you."
Lu Pan shook his chest muscles twice and waved his hand and slapped: "Don't worry, our eight uncles will support you. Even if the emperor bullies you, you will be able to lift his Golden Palace!"
Then, the sound became lower.
"... Liangsheng, in fact, eight uncles and uncles have never seen any world before. I want to go and see, but you can bring all the things out, so you won't ask us to go back, right? That's embarrassing, don't you?"
This... Lu Liangsheng is indeed a little difficult. He used to go on the road simply, but with eight more people at once, his pace would definitely be much slower.
Seeing the eight uncles looking at him expectantly, they really refused to let them go back, and it was a little embarrassed. Moreover, when the other party came to Chang'an, they really wanted to be an official, and they really needed a group of trustworthy people under their command.
"Okay, Uncle Pan, but I will definitely listen to me on the way."
"Don't talk about it on the way, even if you arrive in Chang'an, the emperor's words will not work!"
Hearing these words, everyone burst into laughter, echoing in the mountains and fields, attracting the passing pedestrians and vendors to look at them.
