Great Sui Guoshi

Lu Liangsheng watched his mother and younger sister leave, and smiled and took the book on the bedside. Anyway, he couldn't get off the ground, so flipping through it could pass some time.

Just after turning a page, the door closed without wind.

When the boy put down the book, Nie Honglian sat beside her with a medicine bowl, with a smile on her face, probably because of what the mother and daughter did just now, which made her very happy.

"Actually, I stayed because of your mother and your sister. Looking at them, I feel like I'm still alive."

"You are still alive, otherwise, who am I talking to?"

Lu Liangsheng took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and frowned bitterly, "Who prescribed this medicine? I don't seem to be injured... It's just that I overused my mana."

Seeing the young man's bitter expression, Nie Hong smiled even brighter. She was only 16 years old, and she still had the nature of a girl, so she blew into the bowl vigorously.

"It's cold, drink it in one gulp."

"I'm not stupid."

Lu Liangsheng put the bowl aside, tilted his head and scanned the room, but saw no familiar figure.

"Hong Lian, have you seen that toad that is always in the house?"

"You call your master a toad?" Nie Honglian covered her mouth with a chuckle, "I already knew that, when you came back from the night trip that day, I saw your master."

Speaking of this, Nie Honglian raised her face, tapped her chin with her light white fingertips, and groaned softly for a while: "When you were carried back by your father, your master quietly checked your injuries, and then carried a gourd on your back. , and left without a word."

"gone?"

Lu Liangsheng was a little unbelievable, he frowned and looked out the window, the noisy voices were still coming, and the golden morning light poured down on the window lattice.

Far to the west on Qixia Mountain, the mentioned Taoist Toad was carrying a gourd and a special small bag around his waist. He searched inch by inch along the foot of the mountain, muttering softly in his frog's mouth.

"Why did this old man become like that silly apprentice...become a bad guy."

The frog flipped away the weeds that were taller than him. In the crevices of the stone, there was a plant with small red fruits. It was pulled out by the roots, sat on the stone, turned the gourd on its back to the front, and was about to tear the unknown plant. The plant is stuffed into the mouth of the gourd.

In front of him was a bag of soil like a gopher arching the ground, and with a bang, he hit the rock under him. The voice of "Oops" muffled under the soil, and the next moment, a head covered in mud came out.

On the stone, Taoist Ha was also startled by the sudden appearance of a human head, and jumped up reflexively.

"Hiss...it hurts me to death."

Sun Yingxian covered his head and wiped off the mud on his face. What he saw was a toad standing on one leg, holding the gourd with one hand, and raising the other hand, standing on the stone.

One person and one toad looked at each other strangely.

Chapter 36 Alchemy Gourd

Human eyes and toad eyes face each other.

"Toad?"

"Taoist?"

One person and one toad asked each other at the same time, and the next moment, Taoist Toad put down his hands and feet, and rushed out, his fins slapping on the ground, and galloped up.

Sun Yingxian propped himself up, brushed off the dust, and looked at the toad running away with short legs, but he still hadn't reacted.

"Hiss... this toad runs on two legs and can still talk."

and many more!

His eyes widened suddenly, and he raised the hem of his robe. Sun Yingxian took out the bronze mirror in his cloth pocket, ran to catch up with his feet, and shouted: "Don't run! The monster——"

Since he was a teacher, he finally met a real monster.

"Decree, God will do it!"

In an instant, there were two more talisman papers in his hand, which hit his legs, and the moment the cloth shoes he stepped on fell to the ground, the smoke and dust shot out to the surroundings, and the sharp arrow that flew off the string rolled up a long cloud of dust behind him.

Ahead, Taoist Toad, who ran some distance away, looked back. The man swung his arms wildly and rushed towards him with smoke and dust. He suddenly changed his mind about running into the forest, jumped over a clump of grass, and turned around. direction.

"Do you really think the old man is a toad without wisdom?"

Feeling the figure running wildly behind him getting closer, Taoist Ha rushed into the village, suddenly lay down on the ground, and quickly moved forward with all four limbs.

In front of them, there was a lot of voices, and many villagers gathered in the spacious dam, guarding the carts, or the family sent a person to the village elder to pledge, in addition to getting back the stolen things, they could also get extra money allocated.

Amidst the excited noise, a few children playing outside the crowd noticed a toad slowly climbing in from the entrance of the west village, and ran over curiously.

"It seems to belong to Brother Liangsheng's house."

"...Look at the big gourd on its back, hee hee, will there be something delicious in it?"

Two older children stepped forward, squatted down in front of the slow-moving toad, and tilted their heads to see where it was going to climb. A few steps away from the village entrance, Sun Yingxian's figure had already rushed over.

"What a daring monster, how dare you still want to drag innocent villagers... Hey... Stop it..."

The Taoist Toad slowed down suddenly, and the Taoist didn't have time to slow down. Seeing that he was about to hit the two children in front of him, he hurriedly withdrew the magic movement. The layer of mud almost stopped in front of the child, and a big hole was torn in the cloth shoes.

The two children squatting on the ground looked at the figure less than half a hand away, startled, and then cried out in fright with a 'wow'.

The surrounding villagers looked back and immediately exploded.

"Where did the wild Taoist come from!" Some women also shouted: "He bullied my child——"

A group of people rushed over, some took the child away, while others surrounded Sun Yingxian and looked him up and down.

Lu Pan stepped forward with his injured arm hanging, and stopped in front of the Taoist priest who was still trying to squeeze out: "You are an old man, you are still a monk, why do you bully children."

"I didn't bully!!"

The incident of being wronged by a group of arresters before is still fresh in my memory, and now I am accused of bullying children, and roared angrily, Sun Yingxian pointed at himself: "Also, I am only seventeen, and I am here to catch monsters!"

"Seventeen?" A village woman next to him looked up and down at his sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, with a pair of mustaches on his upper lip, covered her mouth and laughed: "Then you are a little anxious."

Lu Pan waved her off, frowning.

"Catch the monster? Tell me what the monster looks like? Where is it?"

Sun Yingxian pushed and shoved a few times in the crowd, his eyes searched everywhere, pointing at a black shadow crawling away from the people's feet, he quickly shouted: "Isn't that?!"

The villagers backed away one after another, seeing the black shadow on the ground, Taoist Toad blinked his eyelids, let out a "croak", and continued to crawl.

Everyone laughed, and the crying child pointed at the Taoist.

"He is the one who bullies us!"

Lu Pan pointed to the toad on the ground, "You little Taoist, you are talking nonsense, that toad has been in the village for a long time, and I don't see anyone who lacks chickens and ducks, who has a short life, why is it a monster, bullying Children are bullying children!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted at the Kongwu powerful men in the village: "Tie him up and send him to the officials!"

"Yes, maybe you still want to steal things in the village!"

"Tie it up first!"

Immediately, the crowd rushed up, Sun Yingxian was squeezed in the middle, and the figure of the toad monster could no longer be seen. He opened his outstretched hand, and his face flushed anxiously.

"You...you...if it wasn't for my dying master who told me not to do anything to ordinary people, I really want to teach you a lesson!"

"Dare to be rude!"

Among the crowd, eight people including Lu Pan suddenly lined up, shouted "ha", pressed down with both arms, fisted with the palms of the hands, and the knotted chest muscles bulged in the open front of the clothes, moving towards The Taoist trembled intermittently.

"If you dare to cause trouble in our Qixia Mountain, how can the eight people in Lujia Village be afraid of you!"

Sun Yingxian watched the eight people's chest muscles beating, and they all stayed where they were, shaking their heads and clenching their teeth with blushing faces.

"I really don't dare to..."

Before the Taoist could finish his words, there was a whistling sound from behind. Sun Yingxian subconsciously turned around and knocked a stick on his forehead.

In front of the line of sight, it was a village woman with big arms and round waist.

"Auntie... you... have good arm strength."

Sun Yingxian shook twice, fell down with a bang, the woman put down the rolling pin, and gave Lu Pan a mouthful of eight people: "It takes so much effort for a stick?"

The village women in the mountains went to work in the fields and went up to collect firewood. Naturally, they had plenty of arm strength. Everyone checked the Taoist's breath, but luckily they were all right, so they tied them up first and continued to divide things.

It's like nothing happened.

"Let's go, lock him up first, and talk about it after dividing the things."

"Hey, where's the toad?"

"...Maybe he went back to Liangsheng's place, but this toad is spiritual, and he already knows how to recognize him."

In the voice of talking back to the cart, Taoist Toad did return to the fenced courtyard. After seeing that Li Jinhua's mother and daughter were not outside, he quickly stood up and rushed into the house.

"I'm dying of thirst... Bring me some water for Master."

Lu Liangsheng was joking with Hong Lian, when he heard the words, he quickly reached out to bring the bowl of water on the small table next to him.

"Master, where have you been?"

Taoist Toad, who jumped on the bed, sat down cross-legged, untied the gourd behind him and threw it aside, took a few sips from the bowl handed him, and then lay down comfortably with his white belly, and talked about going out. s reason.

"I went to find medicine for you, but the old man is exhausted."

Nie Honglian smiled lightly, floated to the bed, and gently kneaded Toad's tiny limbs.

The young man leaning on the bed sat up straight and looked around: "Master, where is your medicine?"

"Hmph..." Taoist Toad opened a toad eye, swept away two fingers of the female ghost, stood up, and walked to the side of the gourd with his double webs on his back.

"Look clearly, everything is in it. I mentioned it to you before. This thing is a magic weapon for my teacher. It can swallow everything in the world. But it also has another function. It can make good things out of the things it puts in. .”

The toad pulled out the stopper, and with a shake, a herb fell out, and even things larger than the mouth of the gourd could get in and out.

"How is it? It's amazing." Taoist Ha patted the gourd as if showing off, and then stuffed the herbs back, "As long as you read the formula, this treasure gourd can refine the contents into pills."

Afterwards, he added: "Don't bother me, my teacher."

Dragging the gourd, he jumped out of bed and went under the bed so as not to be disturbed.

The room became quiet again, the previous atmosphere of talking and laughing with Nie Honglian was broken, but now it was a bit uncomfortable. Besides, Lu Liangsheng was about to speak again, when Lu Laoshi came back outside, followed by Lu Pan.

"Liangsheng, let us tell you something."

The voice came from afar, Nie Hong could not stay any longer, turned around and got into the picture scroll, after a while, Lu Laoshi and Lu Pan also pushed the door in.

Chapter 37 The Taoist who was beaten to autism

The bed creaked, and Lu Liangsheng sat up a little bit.

"Father, Uncle Pan, what's the matter?"

Arrange the quilt beside the bed. There is no decent furniture in the room, so I can only make do with the bedside for Lu Laoshi and Lu Pan to sit down.

Except for Lu Laoshi, Lu Pan had no intention of sitting down. He looked around from the corner of his eye, as if looking for where the female ghost was hiding, and stood by the bed in awe. react to.

"Liangsheng, we have taken all the things from the cottage. There are two big boxes full of silver ingots. We can't count the exact number. I guess there are not 7000 taels, but there are also 5000 taels."

Seven thousand...

Rao Lu Liangsheng, whose mind is gradually matured, looked slightly stunned, somewhat shocked by the huge amount. His previous thought was that the bandit was dead anyway, and it was all ill-gotten gains. It's just that I didn't expect there to be so many in a small cottage.

Over there, Lu Pan, who was thinking about his belongings, didn't notice the expression on the young man's face.

"... There are four ingots of gold ingots in the box, no, I'll get them for you first." As he spoke, he turned out the cloth around his waist, and couldn't hold it with both hands.

After a few bangs, put them all on the small table, so that Lu Laoshi couldn't take his eyes off.

"How much do you need to convert this ingot into copper coins..."

"It must be a lot of money."

Lu Pan said something casually, then suddenly slapped his forehead, and hurriedly took out a book from his lapel, "This is from the bandits, take a look at what is written in it?"

"Book?"

Lu Liangsheng took the book bound with yellow thread. The cover was a bit dirty, and the handwriting on it was so worn that he couldn't read clearly, but when he turned over a page, his fingertips suddenly felt the pain of needle pricks, and as soon as he retracted, the cover closed automatically.

Seeing Lu Laoshi and Lu Pan froze in place, their Adam's apple rolled and they made a little noise.

"Liangsheng, what happened to that book? Why did you close it by yourself?"

Over there, the boy looked at the closed book and frowned.

There is magic in this book.....
