After saying goodbye to Wuhu City God Xu Sheng, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey back along the original path. On the way, there were more and more pedestrians and vehicles on the road. On the farmland on one side, a farmer wearing a vest and a straw hat sat on a tractor, turning over the fields.
I walked over and stood on the side of the road, looking at it in amazement for a long time, and almost couldn't help wanting to go up and try it.
Seeing that he had been watching for a long time, the old farmer with the tractor drove over and stopped nearby during his break. He wiped the sweat from his hands, pointed to the machine next to him and asked him to go up and try it.
Lu Liangsheng smiled and shook his head. If you don't understand something, just take a look at it. It would be inappropriate to damage it by mistake. After thanking him and declining the invitation, he transformed himself into a scholar in a blue shirt and white robe, gradually disappeared in the sky, and returned to the dirty streets. He went upstairs and pushed open the door of the rental house.
The TV was making a loud noise. The Toad Taoist was lying on the sofa cushion with one of his short legs crossed, drinking iced orange juice with a straw in his mouth. Next to him, Lu Jun was holding a water cup, half-kneeling on the ground, fanning himself diligently with his other hand.
As the door opened, Toad spit out the straw and turned his head: "You're back? I'm glad to see my old friend. Can you find out what's going on outside?"
The old donkey came in from behind, kicked out his hind legs, gently pushed the door shut, let in the sunlight that came in through the window, yawned listlessly, crawled down, and dozed off on his front legs as a pillow.
Lu Liangsheng walked past the TV screen, went to the other end of the sofa, leaned back gently, and closed his eyes.
“Master…” He paused, but continued: “… I saw him, but it wasn’t Zhou Yu. His temple was demolished, so he couldn’t manifest his Dharma body. It was Xu Sheng, the City God of Wuhu. He told me that he was still in the original human world, but when we came back, thousands of years had passed.”
These words made Lu Jun, who was fanning himself at the side, so scared that his hair stood up. What did thousands of years mean? If there wasn't such a talking toad in front of him and a few piles of money in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it.
“Hehehe…”
The Toad Taoist, who was lying on the cushion, grinned so much that his face was almost pulled down by his head. He lifted his webbed feet to brush away the straw beside his mouth and sat up: "Isn't this even better? I don't have to go to that heaven. It's not bad to stay here. Look, there are people to serve me. Although the food here is strange, it's novel, fun, and delicious."
The chubby young man's heart was beating wildly. If he stayed here for a long time, wouldn't he really have to be a servant of this toad monster? He kept fanning himself in his hand and subconsciously turned to see what the young man dressed as a scholar was saying.
Lu Liangsheng shook his head and slowly opened his eyes.
“Master, we may stay here for a while, but not too long. After all, we are not from this world. If we stay here for a long time, I don’t know if it will affect this place in the future… In addition, Xu Sheng told me today that some of the Yin Gods that were sealed back then have resurrected in the world, and it is very likely related to the demon star.”
As soon as the words came out, the slightly plump young man curled his lips and nodded in agreement. The toad on the cushion sat up straight and looked at his apprentice majestically.
"You are confused. When you cultivate the Tao and become an immortal, you should follow your heart. Now that you have become an immortal, how can you be like before?"
He burped suddenly, looked at his apprentice's expression, raised his webbed head and gestured: "Then stay a little longer."
"If we want to eliminate the evil star, we may need to stay for a while longer."
After the deal was made, Lu Liangsheng's gaze rested on the face of the slightly plump young man. He had been eating and living in his house recently, and he had also damaged the other party's car, so he had to give him some compensation. As a series of things that could be used as compensation flashed through his mind, Lu Jun listened to the conversation between the man and the toad, and his heart suddenly filled with ecstasy, and he squeezed the hand holding the fan tightly.
… I’ve become rich, now I’m going to become rich, even gods will come to my house, then I’ll be as rich as heaven!!
Slurp~~
Pursing his lips, the slightly fat young man looked at the toad in front of him and lowered his voice, "This... Toad Immortal, are you immortals?"
The toad, who was arguing with his disciple, turned around and smiled. He raised his head slightly and put his webbed feet behind his back. "You have good eyesight, young man. Not bad! Both I and your disciple have ascended to heaven."
Lu Jun squatted there in a daze. After listening to these words, he swallowed his saliva, and suddenly he fumbled around, took out his cell phone, opened an app, leaned his head next to the toad, turned to smile at the camera, and forced a V sign.
There was a light "click!" sound, and the toad tilted its head to look at him strangely. Lu Jun squatted back happily without raising his head: "The two gods stayed at my home, and they left a commemorative gift... I'll send it to my friends first..."
"Brother Lu."
Lu Liangsheng didn't understand what he was doing. When he heard the word "commemoration", it just happened to coincide with what he had just thought about. He interrupted him and raised his hand to bow: "I am sorry for disturbing you in your house for the past two days. My master and I are leaving today. Before we leave, why don't you tell me what you are thinking about?"
Lu Jun raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, and blurted out: "I want a beautiful woman..." As soon as the words came out, he quickly stopped and waved his hands repeatedly: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, I haven't thought it through."
He touched his chin, walked a few steps, and thought of something. He turned around and looked at Lu Liangsheng: "God, I want money... a lot of money."
"this?"
The scholar took out a few copper coins and small change from his sleeve pocket and spread them out in his palm. "Is that enough? This is all I have."
Seeing the copper coins and silver pieces lying in his warm palms, Lu Jun scratched his hair hard. He almost forgot that he was a god who had come down to earth and had no idea about human currency. He hurriedly took out his wallet from his arms, pulled out a red piece of paper with an old man's head printed on it from the few coins and unfolded it.
"This kind, Grandpa God, this is it. Can you make me dozens of them?"
pile
Lu Liangsheng frowned. Who doesn't love money? When he was young, didn't he also covet the bandits' silver? After realizing this, he went over and took the coin. It was red and engraved with patterns. The details were so detailed that it was impossible to make them out without magic power.
The next moment, what caught his eye became a picture. He stretched out his sleeve with one hand, and a pile of red papers instantly appeared and were placed on the table. Then he flicked his sleeve, and a pile of coins flashed in Lu Jun's eyes, and more than ten piles were divided.
“Hahahaha!! Haha!!”
Lu Jun smiled so much that his face was blooming. He rushed over, picked up several stacks of money and kissed them hard, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hey! Stage manager! I don't want to be a supporting actor anymore, get out of here, hahahaha!"
He put the phone down, flipped through the thick stack of cookies with his thumb, licked his lips and kissed them one by one. The moment he kissed them, the smile on his face froze. He quickly flipped through the stack again, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Why are they all the same numbers? God, can you change them again? Change all the numbers on them."
Lu Liangsheng was not from this world and had never seen this kind of coin before. He didn't even understand what number was on it and could only shake his head.
"I can't help you. I don't understand what's going on, but if they can't be used together, why not use them one by one?"
Use one by one? Real money is real money, but Lu Jun's face turned bitter. If he did this, the police would come to his door in a few days. Besides, what's the point of using it like that? When will it be spent
Lu Liangsheng looked at him. It seemed that the people in this world loved money more than people in his time. He shook his head, pulled the reins, and disappeared silently in the room with his master.
Over there, Lu Jun, who was touching the banknotes, suddenly saw the phone on the ground. He quickly picked it up and redialed the number, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"The production manager... I wasn't talking about you just now. I thought it was from another crew. They keep harassing me. You know how dedicated I am to my supporting roles. They call me every day to urge me... Yes, yes, yes... Okay, I'll report in a little while. Where are you going? Okay, I'll make sure to be there on time."
As soon as he hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. When he turned around, there was no trace of the immortal in the house. Even the old donkey lying under the window basking in the sun was gone.
"God? Grandpa God? He's just gone like that?!"
“Gods really do leave when they say they will, without waiting for anyone to finish their phone call.” The young man put his phone in his pocket, dealt with the call, and was about to go out when he saw the pile of banknotes on the table. He felt quite troubled, but seeing that he still had some time, he simply moved the pile under the bed in the bedroom and hid it. He could use one or two bills when he was free, so it shouldn’t be a big problem... right
Soon, he locked the door, hurried downstairs and drove to the place agreed upon on the phone. Then, he got on a van and drove along the road.
At the rear of the vehicle, on the dusty rear window, there was a sign that read "Qixiashan Film Crew".
