The door creaked open, and the Toad Taoist tiptoed in with half of his face exposed. What came into his eyes was a room full of scarlet red. The scholar sitting over there had his back to him, holding something in one hand, and was standing there motionless.
"Liang Sheng?"
Toad called out softly, looked at his disciple's back with some suspicion, looked around, and muttered softly: "What is this doing? Why is it so red..."
He looked around for a few seconds, put down his flippers, and walked over on the floor with a clacking sound. He coughed twice to remind his apprentice that he was coming over.
"Liangsheng, what are you doing? The room is red. Don't do useless things all day. As a cultivator, you should cultivate well... cultivate..."
Before he finished speaking, the toad walked to the side of the table leg and looked in the direction with its raised toad face. There was a red ball in his hand. Wisps of demonic energy were winding and lingering in the air, seeping into Lu Liangsheng's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears bit by bit.
"That woman's—"
The Toad Taoist widened his eyes, spun around on his webbed feet a few times, then jumped up and climbed up along the legs of the table. He clung to the edge of the table with his legs hanging outside and kicked hard a few times before standing on the table. He bent over and supported himself with his knees, gasping for breath, then quickly ran to the window and yelled outside.
"Little Taoist priest, old tree demon, come here quickly!!!"
The voice spread outside. In the daylight, a Taoist priest was squatting under the shade of a tree, chewing on a piece of cake. In one hand, he was holding a branch to tickle the nostrils of an old donkey who was dozing off not far away. When he heard the words, he raised his head and saw the Toad Taoist priest standing on the window frame, waving his webbed feet and shouting. He immediately ate the cake in two or three bites, then ran to the attic. He kicked his feet and jumped up!
On the windowsill, Toad Taoist shouted, turned around, and muttered something. In the bookshelf in the corner, a small door banged open, and a black-patterned purple-gold gourd flew out and fell into his hands.
"Liangsheng, hold on, your master is here to save you!"
In the deep red light, Toad Taoist looked at Lu Liangsheng, whose seven orifices were filled with the energy of the demon star, and spoke anxiously. He kicked the table with his webbed feet and leaped into the air with his short body.
"How dare your disciple attack me? Watch out—"
The sound echoed loudly in the house as a figure flew through the air. Behind the short figure that jumped up, the sound of cloth shoes flew on the wall. The moment it rushed into the window frame, the jumping toad was hit with a bang, and the gourd collided with Lu Liangsheng and Yaoxing Hongmang.
The Taoist fell onto the desk, his voice still echoing in the room.
"Old Toad, where is the monster, female or male... you... what are you and your disciple doing?"
The red light quickly faded from the room, and Lu Liangsheng fell to the ground with his eyes closed. The Toad Taoist beside him moved his webbed feet, and suddenly sat up. His eyes were dull, and his mouth kept shaking. He ignored the Taoist's words, sat on the ground, turned in another direction, and touched his mouth and nose with his webbed feet.
"That woman... seems to have been sucked in by this old man."
The Taoist took the talisman paper in his hand and put it back into the yellow bag. He jumped off the desk and felt Lu Liangsheng's pulse. He exhaled and fainted.
"Old Toad, what just happened?"
Over there, the Toad who was sitting with his back to the side had his shoulders shaking slightly. In the shadow that could not be illuminated by the candlelight on the desk, the Taoist Toad's mouth opened, revealing densely packed fine teeth.
"Hehe... Old Toad? How can a youngster like you call me by my name?"
A hoarse voice accompanied by the croaking of frogs faintly sounded in the room. A short figure with its back to the Taoist priest slowly rose from the ground. The evil aura was thick and seeped out of the cloth, twisting and turning in the air, forming a giant toad.
"It's been a long time since I tasted human flesh... Just thinking about it makes me hungry..."
The toad's face turned slightly, its mouth opened wide, and sticky saliva flowed from the corners of its lips to the ground. It looked at the little Taoist priest with a pointed face and monkey cheeks opposite and sucked the saliva back.
"Come here... let me bite you..."
The toad's open mouth was like a deep abyss in a mountain stream, slowly opening to become larger than its head. Just as it was about to pounce and bite Sun Yingxian opposite, there was a sudden sound of a door opening.
Squeak~~
“Old demon!!”
The door was pushed open suddenly, and Mu Qiyu came in with his long sleeves waving and black smoke rolling around. He looked at the scholar sleeping on the ground, and suddenly he seemed to hit something. A black shadow bounced towards the table leg like a ball, causing the whole table to shake a few times.
Taoist: “…”
Mu Qiyu ignored Lao Sun, squatted down holding the hem of her skirt, raised two fingers and directed the magic power to the scholar's forehead, which spread to his whole body. After a moment, Lu Liangsheng's closed eyelids moved and slowly opened.
'Qiyou... Old Sun...'
Thinking of what he was about to do just now, he suddenly woke up, hurriedly sat up, saw the red light in the room fade away, and looked at the Taoist priest.
"Old Sun, can you see the aura of the demon star in the house?"
"What evil star? I just saw the old toad hitting you with a gourd..." The Taoist came in, but due to his field of vision, he did not see the ball of red gas in the scholar's hand. Sun Yingxian rubbed his pointed chin and gestured with his eyes to the toad lying at the foot of the table.
"It's just that after you two fell together, the toad became a little weird, as if it hadn't eaten meat for a long time. But I remember cooking it yesterday?"
Getting weird
Oh no!
Lu Liangsheng's pupils shrank, and he moved the round table away with a wave of his sleeves. He picked up his master with one hand and grabbed him in the air with the other hand. A trace of demonic energy filled the air, and scarlet smoke seeped out of his skin.
"Old demon, old demon, what is this?"
Xiyou, who was squatting on the side, curiously reached out to touch the red smoke, but Lu Liangsheng stopped him: "Xiyou, don't touch it!"
"Old demon, what's wrong?"
The woman looked at the scholar's solemn profile. The scholar pursed his lips and said nothing. He increased his grasping magic power a lot. However, the evil star energy that seeped out of the toad's body did not come out even half an inch. He couldn't help but frowned.
"Stuck in Master's body?"
As soon as his thoughts turned, he remembered that his life was connected with his master's, and he immediately had an idea. The technique of sharing the same fate might be useful. In the field of vision that others could not see, there were thin white lines entwined between the Toad Taoist and Lu Liangsheng. Over there, the scholar circulated his magic power along these several lines into the master's body. When he sensed the fierce aura, he pulled it towards this side.
In an instant, the white law gradually turned scarlet, and red also appeared in Lu Liangsheng's eyes.
Huh~~
The toad's belly rose and fell, and it exhaled from its slightly opened mouth. Youyou woke up, touched his head and sat up, "Why do I feel so good..."
Having experienced the aura of the evil star, the toad quickly stood up when he saw his disciple's appearance, jumping up excitedly, flapping his webbed feet in the air several times and pointing towards himself.
"Liangsheng, hurry up, hand this fellow back to me, and let me do it!!"
Shouting, he opened his mouth and sucked the thing out of Lu Liangsheng's body. Once it entered the toad's body, the toad's face suddenly became eerie with excitement, and its mouth showed its fine teeth.
"Haha... With its help, my Taoism is..."
Bang!
Before the hoarse and low voice could finish, Qi You screamed "Ah, so scary!" and subconsciously stretched out his hand and slapped the Toad Taoist in the face, causing the Toad's face to twist to one side. The short body flew out like a cannonball and was dented into the wall.
"Old Toad!"
The Taoist priest standing by was so frightened that his mustache almost curled up on his lips. He shouted and rushed forward, but Lu Liangsheng held his shoulders and pulled him back.
"Don't go."
As he spoke, the scholar sighed, and used the spell of sharing the same fate to absorb the energy of the demon star back. The Toad Taoist woke up, and as if he was addicted, he opened his mouth and started to absorb. Before Qi You could help, Lu Liangsheng took the energy of the demon star back in time.
Sun Yingxian and Qi You did not come forward either, but squatted aside. The Taoist took out a snack from his sleeve, put it into his mouth, and then passed it to the woman.
Even the Yuelong Sword hanging on the bookshelf was unsheathed and hung beside the man and the demon, watching the master and disciple opposite pulling the demon star's energy back and forth.
The next moment.
The demon star energy that was flowing in Lu Liangsheng and Toad Taoist's bodies was pulled back, and finally broke silently, splitting into two halves and entering the bodies of the two.
Lu Liangsheng: “…”
Toad Taoist: “…”
The scholar lowered his eyes, looked at his chest, and then looked at the toad opposite him: "Master, what are you fighting with Liangsheng for... I am sealing it in my body."
"Well… "
Over there, Taoist Toad pursed his lips and looked away.
"Master... I thought it would improve my Taoism... It seems I was wrong."
