Huayang was embarrassed by his praise, and after a long time, he whispered: "Qingchuan, I swear that I will protect you well."

Lu Qingchuan was momentarily noncommittal.At that moment of embarrassment, there was a sudden movement outside the window. The courtyard was brightly lit, and there were footsteps coming from all directions.

"Son, something happened."

Someone knocked on the door twice, and when the latch moved, the lantern inserted on it rolled down, and the flames sprang up all of a sudden, leaving a pair of scorched lantern bones in a few blows.Lu Qingchuan just raised his eyebrows slightly, and stepped forward to unbolt the door.

Hua Yang followed suit and stood up. His legs and feet were injured, and he hissed in pain as soon as he took a few steps.

Lu Qingchuan and the visitor whispered in their ears for a while, then turned to see Huayang, and said: "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Hua Yang was taken aback, and said repeatedly: "Let's go together." He stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Qingchuan a few times.

Lu Qingchuan was about to withdraw his hand, seeing Huayang's injuries all over his body, he couldn't help but soften his tone: "The Taoist priest has been tired all day, let's take a good rest."

Instead, Huayang hit the snake with the stick: "You have been shopping for goods, haven't you been tired all day?" His eyes usually only look childish, but when he stares at people, they are fierce, "Qingchuan, I am considered lame. Lost a leg, it will always be the formation of the formation, it will always be done, and the drawing of amulets will always be done!"

Lu Qingchuan smiled indifferently: "I'll be back in a while."

He covered Huayang's hand, Huayang shrank subconsciously, his face turned red, and Lu Qingchuan easily pulled it out.

After the master and servant walked away one after the other, the little Taoist came to his senses, cursed a few words, took out a new yellow talisman from his bosom, cut out a donkey shape with scissors, blew a breath, and immediately became A fat and strong black donkey came out.

Hua Yang patted the donkey's head, turned onto the donkey's back, and after drinking a cup of tea, he saw a courtyard with a single door, densely packed with people outside the door, and Lu Qingchuan seemed to be standing in the middle of the crowd.

Hua Yang's spirit was lifted, and he rushed in with his donkey's belly, and pushed aside those who couldn't hide.The two old wooden doors were slammed aggressively by this stubborn donkey, and they creaked open.

Lu Qingchuan raised his eyebrows and followed Huayang into the yard. The yard smelled of rust everywhere. After walking a few steps, he found a female corpse under a tree. There were only two bloody holes left in the eyes.

Lu Qingchuan bent down, recognized it for a while before saying: "It's Aunt Gu."

Hua Yang stayed there for a while, then limped off the donkey's back, took out a bronze mirror from his arms, bit his finger, drew a Dao talisman on the back of the mirror, and looked around with it.The sound of the wind gradually increased, and a faint singing sound came from a distance.

The red beans are not thrown away,

youth is old;

Long on a song,

Soul broken for a while.

Hua Yang scolded: "Sure enough it's her again!" Just as he was about to catch up, Lu Qingchuan suddenly pressed his shoulder.

"Heal your injury first."

Hua Yang struggled to get up: "Is it harmful to keep her?"

Instead, Lu Qingchuan pressed a little tighter: "Xiao Daoist." He called several times, and Huayang finally calmed down.

Lu Qingchuan summoned a few brave maidservants, took the body away, changed the shroud, turned his head, saw Huayang was still standing there with clenched fists, and softly persuaded: "The fate of life and death is determined by God, you are sorry What?"

"If you and I die here, is it also destiny?"

Lu Qingchuan looked at him, and after a while, he even smiled: "Except for fate, no one can get me."

Hua Yang laughed back angrily: "Qingchuan, what nonsense are you talking about! I can think about it, this is my fate; I can't think about it, this is my fate. Destiny is always an afterthought, and human reason is real. I never believed in it." What fate!"

Seeing that Huayang was very angry, Lu Qingchuan quietly looked away. Even if he didn't deliberately distinguish, he could still distinguish which blood belonged to Huayang in the strong and pungent bloody smell.

How familiar, in the past ten years, day and night, lingering in his nose, it made him grit his teeth with hatred.

However, fate has mercy, and this person is here now.

Thinking of this, my heart calmed down: "Xiao Daoist, if you want to live, you can't live, if you want to die, you can't die, if you can't figure it out, this is fate."

Hua Yang lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly cursed: "I don't like to hear anything, so just say what you say."

He limped and turned away.The rustling footsteps sounded for a while, then stopped again.Lu Qingchuan narrowed his eyes behind him, waiting for him to speak.

"Qingchuan..." Hua Yang seemed to be in a panic, turned around and looked at him in surprise.

"I'm here." Lu Qingchuan replied, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Have you seen my black donkey?" Hua Yang gestured with his hands, and at some point, the donkey that was standing not far away digging the soil with its hooves disappeared without a trace.In the courtyard, there is a moist atmosphere after the rain, the sky is full of moonlight, and the clouds are criss-crossed.

Lu Qingchuan laughed: "It's gone?"

Hua Yang nodded indiscriminately, his forehead was already sweating.He leaned on a tree with a crooked neck, looked around for a while, but still couldn't find his mount.

Lu Qingchuan stood aside, with his hands behind his back, holding a donkey-shaped yellow talisman in his palm. When he clenched his hands tightly, a faint light of fire came out from between his fingers, and quickly burned into green smoke.

It was just a small punishment, but I suddenly wanted to see how he would react.

There was panic in Huayang's voice: "I put it here, it's just a talisman, I can't do it myself..." When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and glared at Lu Qingchuan: "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to keep it. A gang of guys who stole donkeys."

Hearing this, Lu Qingchuan suppressed his smile and looked at Huayang quietly.He was born with handsome eyebrows, and this calm glance was like ripples in the wind and the moonlight in his arms.

Hua Yang was taken aback for a moment before he said, "Why, did you make a mistake?"

Lu Qingchuan took a few steps forward and passed by Huayang, but he didn't say a word.

Hua Yang stretched out his hand, trying to stop him, but took it back abruptly: "Let's go, let's go, I'm alone, but I'll be quiet."

Hearing these words, Lu Qingchuan turned his head: "You have limited legs and feet, can you go back alone?"

Hua Yang's face was flushed red: "I lost my mount, just cut another one."

He took it out of his pocket, but it came up empty.When he raised his head, he met Lu Qingchuan's eyes.Under the moonlight, those eyes narrowed slightly, shining brightly, which could almost seduce the soul.

The man stretched out his hand: "Shall I help the Taoist for a long ride?"

Hua Yang's face was flushed again, and he said repeatedly: "No need." He slipped and staggered again.

He took a step back, Lu Qingchuan took a step forward, several times before stopping at a distance from Huayang's fist, and laughed softly, "I always say things you don't like?"

Hua Yang only thought it was like a bizarre dream, but this dream was hot, gorgeous and colorful.

Lu Qingchuan said softly; "How about I tell you what you like?"

His voice was extremely soft, plucking at the eardrums.

There are so many grievances and grievances with this Taoist priest, and it is necessary to settle the traces.

Hua Yang opened his eyes wide and called out, "Qingchuan?"

Lu Qingchuan looked at him, and after a long time, the temperature in his eyes gradually subsided, and it turned back to a bottomless color.

"Qing Chuan, it's Qing Chuan again. Miss him so much?" Lu Qingchuan's eyes were cold and mocking: "Since you miss him, it's too late to come here now?"

Hua Yang stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.

Lu Qingchuan asked again: "Xiao Daoist, do you really want help?"

Only then did Hua Yang stretch out his hand.

The flower wall was tossed and covered with moss marks, and the two of them walked together for a while, when Hua Yang suddenly murmured: "Qingchuan, you said that I came back late... I really came back late, it's all my fault."

Lu Qingchuan looked at him sideways, and said with a soft smile, "I won't blame you."

Hua Yang couldn't figure out whether he was a compliment or a detriment for a while, so he chewed carefully all the way, and when he reached the door, he blushed and responded.

Hua Yang went back to the house and slept until the sun and noon before getting up.He walked to the edge of the well, leaned over to take a picture into the well, and tied his hair into a bun randomly.Then I threw the bucket in, filled it with water, and twisted the well rope to lift it up.

The garden of fragrant philippines was moistened by the wind and rain last night, and it bloomed more and more brilliantly.The whole Lu Mansion is surprisingly quiet. When the sun shines, the green tiles are shining, the fragrances are competing for beauty, and the pavilions, terraces and pavilions are well arranged.Hua Yang splashed cold water on his face, and he was so cold that he woke up completely.

He waited in the courtyard for a long time, and finally waited for a cook to deliver food. The food box was lifted, and the vegetarian food, tea and fruits inside were laid out.Hua Yang grabbed the bread, wiped it on the sauce plate, and asked while eating, "Where's your son?"

The man responded obediently: "Several commercial firms are waiting for you to manage, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away."

Hua Yang thought for a while and said, "Do you know what happened last night?"

The servant nodded hurriedly, and was about to pack up the dishes and leave when he heard Hua Yang ask again, "How many times is this?"

The servant's expression became more and more flustered: "Chapter four, Daoist, I'm just a slave."

Hua Yang smiled at him, and took out a tael of silver from his purse: "Don't be afraid, which four times? I will reward you if you make it clear."

The man swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "The eldest family died first, and by last night, all the concubines had died."

Hua Yang played with the silver ingot reluctantly for a while before handing it over.When the family members walked away, Hua Yang closed the door, dipped his finger in the tea, and sketched on the table the layout of Lu Mansion facing south, with mountains behind and water in front.He had just got a mole on his foot, and the wound was painful and itchy, and he couldn't help scratching until he had a rough outline of it.

At this moment, I heard someone say, "You don't want this leg anymore?"

When Hua Yang raised his head, he saw Lu Qingchuan standing leaning against the door, wearing a jade crown and wearing an indescribable charm.Hua Yang remembered what happened last night, his face was a little hot, and he said firmly: "I can't break or stand, break and stand."

Lu Qingchuan smiled for a while, the fan was full of flowers, setting off the beautiful scenery in the courtyard: "It's rare that the sky is sunny, let me show you around?"

Hua Yang quickly stood up: "Really?" He just said it, but found that he had said it recklessly, and added another sentence embarrassingly: "In the temple, I have to get up to practice boxing before dawn, and I really can't take it easy. "

Lu Qingchuan took half a step back, looked him over from head to toe several times, and laughed loudly: "It's not simple, it's not simple."

Hua Yang was ridiculed, and followed him for a while without making a sound, still staggering in his steps.

The flower branches hung heavily on the top of the wall, Lu Qingchuan calmly walked over from under the flower wall, and smiled lightly: "You have such a temper, what kind of family are you?"

"Master also said that I am greedy and lazy, what kind of family do I have?"

"Xiao Daoist," Lu Qingchuan glanced back at him, "You are not cruel enough to be a monk."

Huayang chuckled a few times: "Where is this? Soft-hearted, most of them are monks."

Lu Qingchuan laughed for a while, then avoided talking about it.The two walked out for another section, and after the flower shadow slanted across, a moon cave door was revealed.Hua Yang suddenly stopped and asked: "Qingchuan, who lives around here?"

Lu Qingchuan replied: "It's the old man's Yangxin Zhai. He's sick in bed, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see you."

Hua Yang's face froze, and he walked over there with a limp.

Lu Qingchuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "The old man sleeps more often than wakes up. You can go when he wakes up."

Hua Yang said anxiously: "I can't wait, I can't wait."

Lu Qingchuan raised his eyebrows and stopped arguing with him.

In front of the Yangxin Zhai, there is a forest of banyan trees, and a gold plaque with pillars on both sides of the gate. Push the door and enter, and you will see a golden Guanyin in the middle of the main room, and the bedroom is around the altar.

Sure enough, Master Lu was still in a coma, with only a skinny arm exposed outside the tent.

Hua Yang called several times: "Master Lu, Mr. Lu." Seeing that no one responded, his eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lu Qingchuan, obviously stumped.

Lu Qingchuan had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and seemed to find Huayang's helpless appearance quite amusing, until the door rang a few times, before he straightened his clothes: "I'm urging again. I still have accounts to settle, Go ahead."

Hua Yang hurriedly said: "You are busy with your work, Qingchuan, I will guard here."

Lu Qingchuan looked at him for a while, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, pressed against Huayang's ear, and called softly: "Xiao Daoist."

Hua Yang replied hesitantly, his face was flushed, his ears were numb and itchy, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

Lu Qingchuan smiled brightly: "Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting each other. The Guanyin sitting in the hall is like the lifeline of the old man. When there is no one around, don't smash it secretly."

Hua Yang's reaction was a bit slow, and he was stunned for a while before he gradually understood: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

"I played tricks on you?" Lu Qingchuan said innocently.

Just as Hua Yang was about to nod, the man's thumb and middle finger intertwined and flicked his forehead lightly.

Lu Qingchuan laughed lightly: "Then I'll play tricks again."

Hua Yang covered his forehead and stared at him blankly, not knowing how to react, it took him a long time to murmur a few times in response, under the messy curls of hair, his ears were burning red.

Lu Qingchuan squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling happy - he had no intention of setting up a trap, but this person was willing to enter the urn.

Wouldn't it be too...

Lu Qingchuan stretched out his hand, gently smoothed Hua Yang's temple hair from behind, and retreated outside the door with a smile.

When he was far away, Huayang's face was still burning, until he grabbed the teapot at the side and took a few sips with his eyes closed, he felt better.

Lu Qingli still remained in the bedroom!The incense on the body, like musk deer but not musk deer, is faint and heavy, sweet and greasy like a fox monster and mountain charm, which makes people feel uneasy.

After the smell completely dissipated, Hua Yang walked to the bedside and pushed aside a corner of the cloth curtain.On the bed, a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance was lying in his clothes.

He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sniggered, thinking; Qingchuan will look like this when he gets old.

When I was thinking wildly, I suddenly thought: Decades are just a snap of the fingers, if he is really old and I have attained the Tao, what would it look like if the old and the young stood together.

When he thought about it, he couldn't smile anymore, and thought again: It is said that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. At that time, it is reasonable for me to support one or two mortals.

Hua Yang thought about it, and the scene of Shi Shiran wearing the Crane Cloud Taoist cloak, riding on the auspicious clouds to the Lu Mansion, and grabbing Lu Qingchuan's hand mercifully and flying up together appeared in his mind.Huayang giggled for a long time, shook his head violently, and then woke up.

Seeing that it was still early outside the window, he chose a top chair and sat down to take a nap.Sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard the window being blown open by the wind, the surroundings were quiet, and the moon was in the middle of the sky.

Hua Yang hurriedly stood up, groped the table for a while, found the candle, and was about to light it with flint, when another gust of wind blew out the candle.

The narrow and long layout of the bedroom is clear, interesting and elegant during the day, but at night, it is like dark and turbid stagnant water.

Hua Yang waited at the same spot, heard the weak breathing of the patient getting more and more urgent after the curtain was put up, so he lowered his voice and called, "Old man, old man?"

The sound of breathing behind the curtain suddenly became louder, as if suffering from asthma, sipping endlessly.

Hua Yang stretched out his hand to find out what happened, but before he touched the tent, he heard the person inside gasping for air-conditioning hissingly, as if his throat was clogged with thick phlegm. After a while, he suddenly screamed hoarsely.

Hua Yang was excited, and boldly pulled the curtain left and right, and saw a bloody female ghost squatting at the corner of the bed, with two lines of blood and tears slowly streaming from her eyes.Master Lu was pinching his neck with both hands, his legs were kicking wildly, and his face was flushed red.

Hua Yang broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and when he recovered, he hurriedly went to grab Master Lu's hand.He was wary of the female ghost tremblingly, and his voice trembled: "Liu Niang, a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of grace."

Hua Yang straightened his hair, looked straight into those scarlet eyes, and didn't say any more.

From time to time, there was a soft gurgling sound from the depths of Master Lu's throat. His face turned purple, his legs kicked vigorously, his body stretched straight, and the original plain bedding was drip-tocked and splashed with blood.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Hua Yang used all his breastfeeding strength, but Master Lu's arms around his neck remained motionless.Hua Yang was sweating profusely when he got there, he had long forgotten what a man-eating ghost was.

The two sides were in a stalemate for half a stick of incense, when Master Lu suddenly let go of his hand, Hua Yang couldn't catch up, and fell to the ground.

When he struggled to get up, the female ghost was nowhere to be seen. The patient lay flat on the bed, breathing heavily, with his chest heaving and heaving. Hua Yang stood there blankly for a moment before he regained consciousness.

He waited for a meal by the side, still in shock, when suddenly there was a vague sound of shifting outside, which rang five times at one slow pace and four fast ones.

Hua Yang folded his hands in his sleeves, shivered, and muttered: "It's five watch."

Master Lu still showed no signs of waking up, Hua Yang looked at him, and suddenly said, "Master, since I have received money from the Lu family, I have to settle the matter, right?"

Master Lu's eyes were closed tightly, his face was ashen, how could he answer him.Hua Yang only took him as acquiescing: "I don't know a few things. In order to find out the cause and effect, I had to make this decision. If there is any offense, please return Haihan."

As he said that, he bowed to Master Lu and repeated a few times: "If there is something strange, don't blame it, if there is something strange, don't blame it."

Hua Yang took out a slender iron box, took out two incense burners from it, lit it with a flint, fanned out the smoke, put it under Master Lu's nose, and made sure he had inhaled three or four mouthfuls before putting the incense aside .

Hua Yang wiped his sweat with his sleeves, took another sip of cold tea, and after gathering some strength, he recited a long mantra without distraction, and pointed forward with his hands, when his eyes suddenly became dark, after a long time, There was only a faint ray of light in the darkness.

Knowing that he was involved in Master Lu's past, Hua Yang calmed down more and more, as if walking through a cave, the closer he was to the entrance of the cave, the brighter the light. There is a boy who looks like white dough, holding a bamboo pole to stick cicadas.

Hua Yang couldn't help laughing, unable to move his eyes away, thinking: Isn't this the Lu Qingchuan back then.

Just as he was thinking, his vision was slowly shaking, and there was a soft rustling sound under his feet.Hearing the voice, Young Master Lu turned his head and called out to this side: "Father."

Hua Yang's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he called several times in his heart: good son.

Xiao Lu Qingchuan dragged the bamboo pole and staggered over, his voice was very soft, like flying flowers on the water: "Where's my mother?"

It was a man with a deep voice who spoke, "I'm sick."

Young Master Lu took a bamboo pole and poked around in the grass, and after a long time he said, "When will Mother be ready?"

The voice said: "Go outside and see who is pitiful, and give him some silver taels. Do good deeds and do good deeds. Sooner or later, you will be well."

Hua Yang thought to himself: silly boy, you were cheated by your father.

After hearing this, Young Master Lu really walked outside.The man put his hand on the old tree with gnarled branches, and the wind blew slightly, blowing down a burst of fallen flowers.

Hua Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and was thinking about which poor man he was the first poor young master Lu rescued in Jinling. Someone nearby asked, "Master, why don't you go and have a look?"

The man really took a few steps forward, and the scenery in front of him also moved forward.Lu Qingchuan sat on the wall and asked: "Little mouse, why are you bleeding? Does it hurt?"

A clear and crisp voice came from the other side of the wall: "I fell down, it's not a big deal."

After hearing this, Hua Yang also remembered what happened at that time, frowned and scolded: Don't listen to his nonsense, he was bitten by a dog, do you think it hurts or not.

Xiao Lu Qingchuan asked, "wrestling, why did your clothes break?"

The person on the other side of the wall said, "I had a fight with someone this morning. He damaged one of my clothes and I broke his leg."

Hua Yang rubbed his nose, with a sullen face: It's okay to be bitten by a dog, but it's still your dog.

The two chatted warmly for a few words, and Young Master Lu asked again: "Didn't I tell you that there is a hole in the east wall. When it gets dark, you can come here quietly. I have fragrant tea and snacks in my room."

On the other side of the wall, he hesitated: "I came here as soon as I said it, the world is not peaceful, and the North and South Ferries of East and West Streets are indispensable everywhere."

Huayang sneered a few times: Who said I didn't come, there is a hole in the east wall, or a dog hole.As soon as I got into a head, I ran into four or five vicious dogs, who chased me for seven or eight streets.

He watched the two boys chatting with each other from afar, and the anger in his heart couldn't be dispelled. Knowing that Master Lu couldn't hear him, he even scolded him a few times: "Master, you've seen enough."You think about something else.

After a while, the scenery in front of him gradually changed. He was sitting on the top chair, and someone beat his shoulders for him. Hua Yang wanted to turn his head to see who was behind him, but twisted his neck for a long time, but it was still in vain strength.

"father."

As soon as that person spoke, Hua Yang's heart became clear, and he thought: It's Lu Qingchuan again.

Young Master Lu weighed his feet, beat Master Lu's back, and said in a low voice: "Father, I want a book boy."

The man said, "Let the butler choose one for you."

Young Master Lu said: "I chose it myself." He was thumping his back with all his heart: "He is not only smart, but also hardworking, humble and polite."

Huayang listened for a while, still in the fog, thinking: Who is this talking about?

The man responded, "You make up your own mind."

Young Master Lu walked out happily, and when he opened the door, he saw two beautiful women standing outside the door, one full of pearls and jade, the other slightly sick.

Lu Qingchuan looked at it, raised his head and called timidly: "Aunt Gu."

The man turned his face to the side and looked there quietly.

Hua Yang followed and looked over, one of them had an indescribably familiar voice and appearance, and was searching his stomach, when he suddenly heard Lu Qingchuan call: "Mother."

Hua Yang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly shivered.Master Lu's affairs in the past ten years have been turning around like a lantern, faster and faster, and the turn is too overwhelming.

He saw Master Lu push the window open, Lu Qingchuan ran past the window, climbed the long ladder to the wall, and shouted at the wall: "Little mouse, I have a fat vacancy. From now on, I will eat and wear whatever I want." You are indispensable, we study together and sleep under the quilt.”

The other side of the wall said: "You are the wealth of ordinary people. A few days ago, an old Taoist priest told me that I have been a beggar in the past nine lives. God owes me. In this life, I will be born with a fairy bone. Fine nectar and jade liquid, enjoy immortality.”

Lu Qingchuan was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "I will treat you very well. Little mouse, if you are lazy, I will help you do all the work without telling others."

There was silence on the other side of the wall for a long time, before I laughed: "I have already worshiped the master, and I will leave in a while. The old Taoist said that I was born to enter the Taoist sect. As long as I can see through it, there will be no limit in the future. Qingchuan, I am going to enjoy the blessing... ..."

Lu Qingchuan seemed to answer, but his back was lonely.

When the people outside the wall were far away, he was still lying on the ladder, muttering softly: "You still owe me a name."
