Chapter 29 The Mischief

Lujia Village is not big, and it covers not much land. The young man in a scholar's robe sets up a stone formation in the wasteland next to the river.

On the surface of seventy-two stones, the handwriting of the talisman was written with pen and ink.

His cultivation level is shallow, and after a night, he recovers quickly. After injecting mana, he is also very tired even after activating every stone of the same size.

After wiping the sweat stains on his forehead, he stood up with difficulty, and his stomach was so hungry that he gushed a few times. After packing up his pen and ink, he went back. After activation of this small magic array, it would run in series along other magic arrays buried at the bottom of the river, adding a little spiritual energy to the water of this river and nourishing the spirits.

Leaving here and returning to the village, Lu Pan at the entrance of the village saw Lu Liangsheng coming back from afar, hurriedly greeting him and walked beside him.

"Liangsheng, why did you come back?"

The boy shook the ink from the wolf's pen, wrapped it with an oil cloth, and turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, but someone came from the yamen and was waiting for you at your house."

Lu Liangsheng put the brush into the inner bag of his wide sleeves and frowned. Someone from the yamen came to look for me. After thinking about it, his pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

There were many people standing outside the fenced yard. In this era, everything was rare. When someone suddenly came to the yamen, he couldn't help but come over to watch the fun.

When someone saw Liang Sheng coming back, he couldn't help but shout. The yamen runner who was holding bowls in the courtyard hurriedly got up. When he saw the young man who was crowded by the crowd, he didn't dare to neglect him.

"The official of Xiafushui County Office, the chief clerk invites you to come..."

Outside the fence, the neighbors whispered to each other.

"Oh, it's the chief clerk of the county government..."

"Ryosheng, I've climbed to a high point this time."

"In the future, I can't be an official. A matchmaker made a statement this morning, but it seems that he was driven away."

"That's sure, why did our Liangsheng marry a woman from Beicun?"

...

Amid the slightest words, Li Jinhua also brought a bowl of porridge for Lu Liangsheng. Seeing that his son wanted to speak but stopped, he finally did not say what happened early this morning.

When the latter took a few sips, the officer thought that there was only one horse when he arrived, so he put down the bowl.

"I came on horseback, you..."

Lu Liangsheng took out the old donkey in the straw hut and patted the beast on the head: "I can ride it, don't worry about following you."

Humph, hum, the old donkey grinned and dived with hooves excitedly.

From Lujia Village to Fushui County, you can run back and forth for half a day with a fast horse, but riding a slow donkey, the servant was worried about whether he could return to the county government for a day. But since the young man in front of him said that, he couldn't refuse.

The two left the village entrance, and the crew rode on the horse. Lu Liangsheng also stepped on the donkey's back, placed the toad Taoist on it, and whispered: "Master, you're sitting firm."

The Toad Taoist said "yes" indifferently.

The young man then raised his hands towards the yamen runner.

"Brother, let's go, just lead the way."

The officer nodded, shook the reins and started jogging slowly. The old donkey hummed, sprayed thick air disdainfully, shook twice, and slowly moved away the toad on its back slid down. One person and the donkey trotted unconsciously with the horses ahead.

The toad fell to the ground and cursed angrily: "What are you doing with this donkey?" He got up in a daze and saw Lu Liangsheng riding the donkey and jumped several feet past. He quickly ran with two frogs and shouted.

"I haven't gotten on the donkey yet!"

In front of the road, the yamen runners riding a horse were considering that the young man behind him was riding an old donkey and he was not running fast. When they looked back, they found that the old donkey was steadily following ten feet behind, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Lu Liangsheng rode leisurely on the donkey's back, and a talisman filled with magic power was pasted under the old donkey's mane.

There is a technique called "Qinghuai Buds Dreams" which is called "Tailing", which shrinks the ground into a small technique. The spiritual energy is pulled by the pedestrians ahead. The person travels a hundred miles, and he is also the same as the same as the one without being tired.

"Master, this kind of trick is quite effective when used, and it saves effort...Master?"

Lu Liangsheng lowered his head and suddenly found that the toad lying on the donkey's back disappeared at some point. He whined, stopped, and looked back.

A toad man stood up, running behind panting.

Lu Liangsheng quickly got off the donkey and picked up the toad Taoist, put it on the donkey's back, and shook the reins and continued to follow the officers in front of him.

"Master, are you trying to survive?"

The toad was lying on the donkey's back, and his limbs were twitching.

"Don't talk, be your teacher...rest for a while."

Not long after noon, the two men on horse and donkey arrived in Fushui County, and they were still coming and going as they had been before. Through the long street, Lu Liangsheng still felt a little desolate.

"The city is a little different from the last time I came here?"

The yamen runner looked at the crowds and stalls around him and sighed: "It was not because of the evil ghosts in Chen's family a while ago. The captain left felt that it was the work of a Taoist practitioner. He checked the nearby temples and checked the past monks. Many of them dared not come here, and pilgrims dared not leave the city at will."

Lu Liangsheng nodded: "So that's it." But he was alert in his heart. The left captain must have noticed that Chen Yaoke was not killed by a ghost.

Soon, he found a stall outside to have some food, and found a place to practice the magic tricks of "The Righteous Way of the Qiankun" facing the slightly slanted sun. After a while, the chief clerk had free time and came to invite him, but not to the yamen, but to the small courtyard housed in the city.

It is mainly for the school exam.

....

The afternoon sun tilted, shining on the foothills more than 50 miles southwest of Fushui County.

The light spots hit the thick fallen leaves on the ground, and the rustling footsteps passed through the trees, following the familiar paths and heading towards the stone steps halfway up the mountain.

Lu Erlai sat down and rested for a while.

"You all wait for me..."

He said a word, then got up and walked upwards, turned the road ahead, chose a hidden path at the fork, hurriedly ran into the crack of the mountain that could pass two or three people, and walked another part, after a thread of the sky, the wide terrain ahead unfolded in view.

It was a row of wooden railings that formed a mountain village, and you could see someone walking around from afar.

Before he could pass, he was robbed by a hidden secret whistle buried nearby. If he were not a familiar person, he might have already had a single blow.

Lu Erlai smiled and bowed, "Brother, please let me go. Erlai is giving money to Erye."

The secret whistle looked at him twice, and it was difficult to hide any sharp weapon under the coarse linen. So he stepped back and let him go, and said coldly: "Don't look around after entering."

"I know! I know!"

He laughed a few times, bypassed the other party's white Sengsen blade and entered the gate of the village. The number of bandits was not large, with about 30 people. Liu Erlong, who was the leader, was also called Erye. There was a place to spend money in the city, and occasionally he would take people down the mountain to rob the road. Although this place was close to Fushui County, it was actually under the jurisdiction of Tongling County on the other side.

Liu Erlong, with a big beard, sat on a wolf-skin chair with a golden sword, staring at Lu Erlai coming in from the door, chewing the fat meat in his mouth.

"I heard from the people below that you have sent me money, and I thought you were going to run away these days."

Lu Erlai rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "What does the second master say? I will definitely pay back the money I owe you... I'm sending it to you by the young one."

Someone walked over from the side, stretched out his palm and signaled him to take it out.

Erlai looked at the hand that was stretched out, feeling quite embarrassed, so he bowed first, "Second Master, this money is too much, I can't bear it alone..."

At the top, Liu Erlong wiped the greasy mouth, rubbed the wolf, and waved impatiently: "Drag it out and cut his tongue."

"Second Master, it's true!"

Lu Erlai was raised by the two of them, stared at his legs in the air, and shouted: "That's hundreds of taels of white silver, I know there!!"

The hall became quiet. Liu Erlong stared at him for a while, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, threw it aside, and his beard was smeared with wine stains and loosened, and his thick lips were cracked.

"Let him lead the way."
