Three days later, at noon.
At the entrance of Chunqiu Temple, Senior Brother Niu was sitting on the stone steps beside the gate, basking in the sun, bored, holding a cup of tea in his hand and humming a little tune, looking very leisurely.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person walking towards him from afar on the mountain path, and he quickly stood up and squinted his eyes to look over.
I saw the man wearing a green gown, with a gray cloth bag hanging on his body and a cloth bag in his hand. He was walking on the mountain path, his body slightly leaning forward. Although his steps were not fast, he looked quite steady.
"Hey, why is it this guy?" When he saw the face of the person clearly, he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
The person who came was none other than Shen Luo, who had returned to Chunqiu Temple all the way from Songfan County.
Shen Luo arrived at Tuji Town at the foot of the mountain early in the morning, but he did not rush back. Instead, he went to sell the black horse first, then went to Hongyunlou to buy wine and roast goose, and finally bought some cinnabar and talisman paper before going up the mountain.
"The mountain gate is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter."
Shen Luo had just walked to the gate of the mountain when Senior Brother Niu's lazy voice came from inside the gate.
"Brother Niu, you are joking. I obeyed my master's orders and went down the mountain to visit my relatives. I am just returning today." Shen Luo frowned, without stopping, and walked straight inside.
"How do you talk to me like that, kid? Do you have any manners?" As Senior Brother Niu was speaking, his wrist suddenly shook and the tea in the cup splashed towards Shen Luo's head.
Shen Luo stepped back slightly and easily avoided the attack.
A hint of surprise flashed in Senior Brother Niu's eyes, and he turned his body to the side, blocking Shen Luo.
Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly wrinkled his nose, glanced at the bag on Shen Luo's shoulder, and laughed:
"Brother, please be generous and I won't bother with you. You know the rules, so I don't need to tell you, right?"
"This roast goose and wine from Hongyun Tower are for Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Tian." Upon hearing this, Shen Luo looked at the cloth bag in his hand and said with a smile.
When Senior Brother Niu heard this, he immediately became furious:
"Don't give me face, give it to me!"
After saying that, he took a step towards Shen Luo and tried to grab it himself.
Shen Luo seemed to have expected this. He moved his left foot forward instead of retreating, right on the puddle of tea on the ground. The nameless technique in his body was already activated. A trace of magic power flowed out from the soles of his feet, pulling the puddle of tea without anyone noticing, and condensed into small swirling water droplets.
Senior Brother Niu stepped on the water droplets, his feet suddenly slipped, he lost his balance, and crashed towards Shen Luo.
"Oh, be careful, brother."
Shen Luo turned his body to the side and stretched out a hand as if to support Senior Brother Niu, but when the other party was about to touch him, his palm just brushed across his lower abdomen. With a surge of Yang energy in his hand, he lifted Senior Brother Niu's body slightly upwards, and Senior Brother Niu's body flew into the air along the falling momentum, flew forward, and fell directly out of the mountain gate.
A series of screams were heard outside the mountain gate. Senior Brother Niu actually rolled down seventeen or eighteen steps along the mountain path.
Shen Luo did not look back and continued to walk forward, but after taking two steps, he stepped back, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a sentence:
"Now I see that your forehead is black and your steps are weak, which is a sign of insufficient kidney essence. Goose buttocks can replenish it. I hope you will accept it."
