"Master Toad, there is something I haven't prepared. I'll go down and get it for you."

"No need to go. What else can the old toad take besides eating? Look at the bag that Lao Lu carries, I guess the food is almost done."

"Lu Liangsheng, what's in it? Let me see."

"Go, that's my husband, don't even look at it!"

The drizzle fell down the mountain road and hit the oil paper umbrella. Lu Liangsheng, who was walking behind everyone, stopped holding the paper umbrella, feeling a little itchy on his back. Did he not take a shower for too long before and his skin was dry?

"...The little toad is really going to retreat. What's wrong? Old demon, old demon, tell me."

Hearing Mu Qiyou's words, the scholar twisted his shoulders, moved his robe and rubbed the itchy area. He felt a little better, so he walked over to follow with a smile on his face.

"Nothing happened. Master's demon pill was damaged for too long, just to speed up his recovery."

The tree demon has a naive soul. Over the past few days, she has been with the people in Lujia Village and has been getting angry. If she knew that she was besieged that day and lost her cultivation, her master had to go into seclusion to repair her injuries. She might be able to come to the door and cause trouble.

In this matter, the master is at fault first. No matter what excuses, killing people is killing people, but they cannot be dealt with like ordinary monsters.

After all, it is a master. As an apprentice, you cannot sit idly by and watch. At present, you cannot make trouble. You can turn things that you have finally pressed down and become an uncontrollable situation.

‘I will go to Chang'an next year and go to the place called Luohe Town to check it out, erect a monument for the people who died there, and pay off the debts for the master...’

When I thought about it, I walked through the mountain path guided by the faded red line and came to the big bluestone when I first met my master. The Toad Taoist approached with his flippers, raised his face and looked like a rock in the mountains, and waved his webbing.

"open!"

boom--

The huge rock dragged the heavy sound and slowly moved to one side, revealing the dark hole behind it. The Taoist took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it in, hanging it in the air, illuminating it, with a few rolls of bamboo slips inside. It was the past when Lu Liangsheng was in seclusion and practiced the Nascent Soul, and forgot to take it away.

There was a long pillar oil lamp standing on the ground. After entering, Lu Liangsheng borrowed a fire from the Taoist and lit the wick. In addition, there was only an empty stone couch left in the entire cave.

The Toad Taoist jumped twice, climbed the double webbed hanging in the air along the bed and kicked hard a few times before finally climbing up.

"Liangsheng, put down your things and you guys go."

"I also said that we should sit down, be stingy!" The Taoist looked at the cave with Zhu Gangli, and felt that there was nothing to see. He walked out with his sleeves and waited together.

Hong Lian cleaned the grottoes, and Mu Qiyou also came to help. The two waved their long sleeves and tried to fight against each other to clean up the dust.

The air flow rolls against each other, and smoke and dust fill.

Ahem!

The Toad Taoist coughed twice, and hurriedly asked his apprentice who was still trying to remind him to take the demon and ghost away.

The scholar had just taken two steps when the master's words rang behind him.

"Liangsheng, wait!"

Putting the gourd aside, Taoist Toad stood on the edge of the bed and called Lu Liangsheng. Seeing his serious face, he thought there was something important to ask for.

But he whispered: "If there is something delicious, remember to send it to the teacher and put it in the stone gate."

He glanced at the rest of the people who went outside the door and added.

"Don't tell them."

"We all heard it!!"

Outside the cave, Taoist, Zhu Gangli, Honglian, and Mu Qiyou shouted here together, "None of them are ordinary people, and the distance is only five or six feet. No matter how small the voices are, you can hear them."

"Hmph, I'm just fine, so I'm not allowed to say it."

The Toad Taoist scolded and turned his back, and the frog web drooped on his legs and kept signaling his disciple to go out quickly. It was probably because everyone saw through and laughed, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go out. I'll come here every day to see. If Master has any needs, just mention it."

Amid the laughter outside, Lu Liangsheng nodded and responded, helped to sort out the stone couch and lay the master's bedding. Then he said goodbye and left. Seeing the huge rock dragging together with the rumbling sound, he calmed down his mood, and joked with everyone and returned to the village and the fenced courtyard.

Squeak ~~

He pushed open the door and the easel was still standing there. Looking at the strange beasts in the mountains and seas outlined by the green ink, he shook his head and put them away.

‘Without magic power, no matter how vivid it is, it can only be an ordinary painting.’

The rain gradually stopped, and the birds from the old trees in the yard fell down on the branches and cried softly. The mother walked to the kitchen with firewood in the yard. The Taoist played with the pig demon in the yard. Hong Lian helped pick vegetables, and fought with the tree demon from time to time, uprooted the whole vegetable and hung it in the hands of the two and broke it in half.

Seeing this scene through the window frame, thinking that he was now an ordinary person, Lu Liangsheng immediately hit a chill.

‘Let’s continue reading my book, there is a love of Yan Ruyu in the book...’

When he lowered his eyes and cast his eyes to "The Endless Mountains and Seas", his expression suddenly became stunned. On the painting, there was an extra turtle-shaped altar in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan.

Um?

Isn’t this... the black turtle I drew before?

Moving his fingertips over and gently pointing them, a small circle of ripples spread out on the paper surface. Lu Liangsheng almost instinctively spread his hands, and he didn't know why he made this gesture. However, the next moment, there were light gathering in his palm.

"Ming Ang~~~"

A sharp scream sounded in the light. When the white light faded, the palms sank, and a blue-black turtle shell was seen in the palm of the palm, and the limbs and legs were slammed out, and they stood up slowly on Lu Liangsheng's hand. The head and tail position showed two heads.

In front of the bird, there is a red feather on its head, neck and neck, and a long snake body extends from its tail. At the top, there is also a green snake spreading its fangs and spitting out a letter, hissing and screaming.

Not as big as the master...but this little model is a bit interesting.

Lu Liangsheng touched it lightly, and it felt real. He threw it off the table and turned into white smoke and disappeared. After waiting for a while, he did not appear again.

‘Well... I can’t leave my hands, can I only use it for viewing? Or is there any other way I didn’t notice?’

I tried it a few more times, just like before, and I let it go temporarily when my mother called him to have dinner at the door of the kitchen.

‘Maybe it is also related to painting? You can’t be impatient, haste will not be able to achieve it. I will explore it in the afternoon.’

After getting the idea and taking a different approach to practice, Lu Liangsheng closed the "Full Mountains and Seas" with satisfaction, closed the door, and walked into the kitchen with Taoist and Zhu Gangli.

Outside the ticking rain curtain, on the mountain road leading to Fushui County, the rain stopped, and a carriage ran through the muddy road surface, splashing a pool of mud and water.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and a skinny old monk lifted the curtain and greeted the driver.
Chapter completed!
