The fire drove away the darkness.

"Thank you."

Ouyang Rong reached out and waved the mosquitoes around him, and reached out to take the wine gourd handed over by Lu Ya.

Lu Ya and Zhang Shixiu walked to the fire opposite Ouyang Rong and sat down.

It's late at night.

"No, Junior Brother Lu, please drink it."

Zhang Shixiu waved his hand and politely declined the wine handed over by Lu Ya. He took out a compass from his sleeve and lowered his head to fiddle with it.

Lu Ya had no expression on his face, his eyes were fixed on the fire, he raised his head from time to time to drink, and drank most of the wine gourd in his hand.

Ouyang Rong looked at two Taoist priests with different styles.

Zhang Shixiu is a very standard Taoist priest. As a Taoist priest from the direct line of the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, he has many rules and regulations. He looks like he is abstinent of asceticism and alcohol, and is upright and dressed cleanly.

Just like a young heroic disciple who can be seen as a card in a famous sect.

Lu Ya looks much sloppy and casual, his Taoist robe is dirty, and he drinks wine in big mouthfuls. I don’t know if it’s lustful for the time being, but looking at Lu Ya’s straight man with low EQ in the past, he is probably a little virgin.

Ouyang Rong laughed silently, but he felt that compared to the regular Taoist priests of Taiqing, the Taoist priests of Shangqing of Maoshan, the Taoist priests of Shangqing of Maoshan were more interesting.

No wonder the younger sister said that the former is face and the latter is inner world. In essence, the Three Qing Dao Schools are one and are both of the Three Mountains and the Blood-Second Generation.

Lu Ya suddenly spoke:

"Senior Brother Zhang, don't practice it. I will take it to Gezao Mountain in the future and ask Master Wan to practice it."

Zhang Shixiu shook his head and still lowered his head to make a compass:

"I got rid of this from my senior brother. I was ruined by Li Congshan. I will help you repair it." After a pause, he whispered: "This is what your master left to you. I'm sorry to use one less item."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and then noticed the compass.

It was retrieved from Li Congshan's body. I remember that after Li Congshan used it to track it down not long ago, a piece of the compass was pinched by the warrior and exposed broken patterns...

Lu Ya did not go to see Zhang Shixiu, as if he was accused. He crossed the elf-jumping flames, looked at the paper and pen and a scroll at Ouyang Rong's hand, and asked softly:

"What was Mr. Ouyang just writing?"

In the afternoon, Ouyang Rong took Shisanniang and Wang Caozhi to purchase northbound supplies. The county town was far away and it was already late at night when he returned to the camp at night.

He ordered Thirteen Niang to go and rest after Wang Caozhi went to watch, Ouyang Rong came alone to watch, and took out the talisman paper and spiritual ink, and prepared some.

Although Ouyang Rong had agreed to watch the night, Lu Ya and Zhang Shixiu seemed to be worried and came over to sit together.

Ouyang Rong also put the scroll of the Peach Blossom Land in his arms and silently folded up several talisman papers with the Kuixing Cluster and the Sacred Runes.

He waved his hand:

"It's okay, I have some inspiration at night, write and draw."

Lu Ya didn't care too much and said "yes".

Ouyang Rong stopped drawing the Kuixing Talisman and the red and black Talisman, stuffed it into his sleeve, was disturbed and could not do anything, so he simply drank and rested.

Zhang Shixiu asked: "Young Master Ouyang really won't follow the prince back to Beijing?"

Ouyang Rong smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Shixiu nodded slowly:

"This time, the prince's family depends on you to escape from the trap and go north. Everyone else is ready to go back to Beijing to enjoy the glory and wealth together. Look at Yanhua in Luoyang. It would be better for Mr. Ouyang to continue in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River."

Lu Ya signaled to Ouyang Rong to the wine pot and toast a glass.

The two clinked their glasses and drank together.

Lu Ya reveals:

"Mr. Ouyang, besides Master, I will also obey you. Last time the palace was in a fire, I didn't listen to you and dragged you down. It won't happen next time. I will definitely listen to your instructions."

"Master Lu, you are polite. I heard from the junior sister about you, and it is understandable that my junior sister is also pleading for you."

Lu Ya still shook his head ashamed.

Ouyang Rong turned around and asked, "Dao Master Zhang also went north?"

Zhang Shixiu shook his head: "Send a distance and arrive at the boundary of Longhu Mountain. I will leave and ask Junior Brother Lu to send the prince back to Beijing. I will go back to Tianshi Mansion to report my life."

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "Is there a lotus pond in the yard of your Tianshi Mansion?"

"That's right. Where did Mr. Ouyang hear about it?"

Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes:

"I heard from the junior sister that this Lotus Pond is not allowed to be seen by outsiders?"

Zhang Shixiu thought about it, nodded and shook his head:

"If it's someone else, of course it won't work. The lotus pond has a great relationship and involves my Zhang Feng Shui. However, if it's Mr. Ouyang, I can make an exception to take you in and visit."

"It has a great relationship, but I am so relieved to be an outsider?"

"Young Master Ouyang is not an outsider..."

After a pause, Zhang Shixiu whispered:

"But Mr. Ouyang looks at it, the lotus should not be picked, otherwise I will be punished. However, although the lotus seeds do not have the effect of spreading randomly outside, they will also prolong life. I can apply for one from the ancestor's hall at the end of the year and send it to Mr. Ouyang's mansion, which can be taken to your aunt or other elders."

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.

Zhang Shixiu asked curiously: "Does Mr. Ouyang go? You can go with him."

Ouyang Rong suddenly laughed, shook his head, raised his head to drink, muttering:

"I'm grateful for my kindness. I'll go back to Xunyang City first and visit Master Zhang if I have time another day."

"good."

Zhang Shixiu didn't talk much and said softly:

"But I will see you soon. I will go back to Longhu Mountain and go down the mountain to find you. I will also inquire about the location of Yunmeng Jianze. However, I cannot guarantee that I will find it.

"Yunmeng Jianze is a hidden sect. Yunmeng Ze is a vast area of ​​thousands of miles. Few people know where Jianze is. In the past, the women of Yue also saw the dragon and didn't see the tail."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Okay, thank you, I'm waiting for news from the Taoist priest in Xunyang City."

"OK."

At this time, Zhang Shixiu suddenly laughed and said, "It's repaired."

He happily signaled to Lu Ya to show his compass.

Lu Ya suddenly took out another compass from his arms and handed it to Ouyang Rong:

"You each one, take it for easy contact."

Ouyang Rong subconsciously said, "But this is your master..."

The Taoist priest with a face-paraly face waved his hand and interrupted: "It's okay, you go back to Luoyang to return me."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

"I will teach you how to use it."

Lu Ya started to teach in detail.

Ouyang Rong listened carefully.

A moment later, Caishou arrived and signaled Lu Ya and Zhang Shixiu:

"Miss is looking for you."

"yes."

The two Taoist priests left.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the tents not far away.

There are several tents with lights that are not out.

For example, Li Guer and Rong Zhen’s tent.

However, the junior sister's tent had already been turned off early, so she should have gone to bed.

After Ouyang Rong left the dinner in the afternoon, he didn't see them anymore.

Farewell is always sad. Ouyang Rong was originally planning to talk about this before leaving tomorrow morning, but at the afternoon banquet, he saw everyone enjoying his situation. Ouyang Rong felt that it was better to have short pain than long pain, so he said bluntly in advance.

Now, it really affected the atmosphere.

Ouyang Rong sat alone beside the fire, silent and calmed down, and prepared to study the compass.

At this moment, a figure appeared.

It's Ye Weilai.

The white-haired girl walked to him and sat down in a thin nightgown.

Ouyang Rong asked strangely:
To be continued...
