Great Sui Guoshi

With a bang, he drew out the saber at his waist, and the blade cut across the air. Suddenly, a beam of light came down from the sky, and there was a crisp sound like metal and iron colliding. The blade bent, broke free from his hand and fell to the ground.

I don't know when, on the back of the old donkey, a toad man stood upright, throwing a dice in the frog's web.

"Why did you throw away a little bit, it really is the old man's bad luck."

toad...

A group of soldiers saw the short figure on the donkey's back clearly, they were beyond shocked, and whispered to each other.

"Ouch, a monster!" "Did you see anything just now? A beam of light knocked down the weapon in General Xiao's hand."

In the front, Xiao Moke's face also changed. He is not afraid of killing people and fighting. He has also heard about Lu Liangsheng's magic skills before. If he can't keep the other party, at least he can threaten the other party's family. Some horror.

After all, this thing has only been heard, never seen.

To go, or not to go?

Xiao Moke swallowed his saliva, lost his weapon, held the reins tightly, and couldn't make a choice for a while.

"General Xiao."

At this time, the figure holding the coffin in front of him suddenly spoke, and Lu Liangsheng slowly turned around, and the coffin he was holding was also turning.

"This is a personal enmity between me and Chen Shubao. I will come to the capital again on the [-]th anniversary of my death. You don't have to go to great lengths to find me."

When you speak at this time, you are actually giving the other party a step down.

The light of the torch was shaking, and Xiao Moke could hear it on the horse's back. Looking at the curved blade on the ground, he hesitated for a while, softened his tone, and arched his hands on the horse's back.

"I am a general of the imperial court. His Majesty's business is the state's business. There is no personal enmity."

"I know."

In the wind blowing, Lu Liangsheng's voice sounded again.

"However, if the general is humiliated by His Majesty, will he be as calm as he is now?"

"What do you mean!?" Xiao Moke squeezed the reins tightly, reined in the horse's head and turned around in a circle, his thick eyebrows frowned: "Is Lu Gongshi trying to drive a wedge between me and His Majesty? I'm afraid I will disappoint you .”

When Lu Liangsheng said these words, he didn't use random words to delay the time. From the technique of observing Qi and Face, he vaguely saw that General Xiao seemed to have a sign of restlessness in his home.

Immediately, he laid down the coffin of his mentor, stood up and looked straight at the general, speaking in a low tone.

"General Xiao should know that I know Taoism, but do you know that I can observe Qi and face one? The general has a majestic face, his temples are like wings inserted upside down in the sky, and he looks mighty, but there is a gloomy turbidity between his eyebrows, which is green in color. There is a charming appearance in the backyard, even if I wear an iron helmet, I can vaguely see a trace of it."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Lu Liangsheng continued:

"The general may not listen, but you can quietly observe your wife later."

This is the grievance between him and the emperor of the Chen Dynasty. He didn't want to hurt the general who was just following orders. Now he said some instructive words, which may not stop the opponent from continuing to pursue, but at least arouse some suspicion, making Xiao Moke feel uneasy. .

Sure enough, Xiao Moke on the horse's eyes wandered, obviously also aware that the beautiful wife at home has been running to the palace from time to time, and Lu Liangsheng in front of him is a cultivator with profound magic power. Is it true what he said?

"General?"

The confidant stepped forward and called in a low voice, and Xiao Moke over there came back to his senses, only to find that the scholar, Taoist priest and donkey in front of him had long since disappeared.

"General, are we still going after him?"

"Chase......"

Xiao Moke said something lightly, then paused, and then continued: "Chasing a mother, let others chase after me, I will go back first."

With a wave of the whip, there was a crackling sound.

Turning the horse's head around, he galloped towards the city.

Chapter 165 Returning to the old life

Tread Tread...

The sound of hoofbeats galloped along the official road, from the capital to the southeast, to Hegu County and Fushui County, and the official documents were constantly sent to and from the local county government.

Soon, notices were posted one after another.

They were all notices to arrest Lu Liangsheng, and next to them was Sun Yingxian with a sharp beak and mustache, um... There was also a portrait of a bald old donkey chewing grass with its teeth bared.

The literate people interpreted the above content, and the people behind them listened, and the crowd of onlookers also talked in low voices.

"This is Lu Liangsheng, he's so handsome..." "Hey man, you're focusing on the wrong thing, he's a wanted criminal."

"It's none of my business, anyway, I have no ability to catch him."

"...This is obtained from our Hegu County's ability test. How it became a crime, I really can't figure it out."

"Hmph, bad reputation as a scholar!" "Oh, I heard that people from outside came back and said that His Majesty humiliated you first, but that's not what this notice says."

"...that Taoist priest up there is really ugly."

In this era, if the government hadn't passed on the list, a lot of news would have been spread to the people's ears almost by traveling merchants traveling north and south. Pawnbroken arrests were scattered in every city, county, and even remote town, causing a sensation. The conversations in a few days were basically about Lu Liangsheng's, but for those who know "it's urgent, Lu Lang's help", the content of this notice is mostly scoffed at.

The enthusiasm continued. Before the announcement, there was a circle of people watching and reading aloud. The two people standing outside the circle glanced at each other. The Taoist touched his face and then looked at the portrait on the announcement.

"Isn't it ugly? What kind of eyes, don't they just age a little bit? They look like they're in their thirties. It's strange if you can catch them."

People nearby looked over, curled their lips, and continued to listen to the previous lecture.

Hum ang huh~~

The old donkey stared at the bulletin board, dissatisfied, and wanted to squeeze in. He opened the donkey's lip to tear it, but Lu Liangsheng grabbed the reins and dragged him out of the town. He found a remote forest, tore off a leaf to expose the coffin on the ground, and fought again. On his shoulder, he snapped his fingers towards the Taoist, indicating to continue walking south.

"The old man didn't figure it out."

Inside the shaky bookshelf, the small door was pushed open, Taoist Toad, with two short legs dangling, shook the cattail fan angrily, and knocked hard on the edge of the cubicle.

"...Don't talk about it, even this old donkey can be on the bulletin board, why can't I be on the notice, because I don't like the old man?"

Hong Lian chuckled, and a voice came from the scroll next door: "Master Toad, that's not a good thing."

"Hmph, how could the old man not know." Toad turned his face away.

The Taoist glanced at Toad, continued to hold the bronze mirror, looked at the face reflected in it as he walked, and looked at it once with his mouth and teeth bared.

"There's nothing ugly in this way, these people really don't know Yu Zhongyan!"

puff!

The old donkey turned his head from the front, sprayed him, continued to raise his hooves, and trotted behind Lu Liangsheng.

Humming, walking out of the woods, Lu Liangsheng looked around at the unfamiliar and familiar mountains, acres of fields, golden crops swaying in his sight,

It's almost time for harvest.

"At this time, Lujia Village should be like this."

On the way to the south, it was not without the officers and soldiers chasing them. Lu Liangsheng was unwilling to kill these irrelevant people. Most of them used blindfold and invisibility techniques to avoid them. To the south of the county, it is only more than ten miles away from Fushui County.

Don't worry, the officers and soldiers of Fushui County will go to arrest his relatives. After all, when the Taoist left, he set up a magic circle. As long as people from the government trespassed, they would come out from the other side for no reason, and they would not be able to enter the house at all.

The sky was slanted, and the outline of Fushui County was seen from a distance. I went to the suburbs with few people, passed through the wall invisibly, walked through the familiar streets, and went directly to the small courtyard where my teacher once lived.

Through the half-open courtyard door, a little boy turned his head to look over.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old trees in the courtyard are like canopies, and the branches and leaves are rustling in the wind. The elegant stone benches and tables under the trees have long since disappeared. I think they were thrown away by the new family.

Lu Liangsheng smiled at the boy, turned and left without saying a word.

In the room, the mother, who looked like a child, came out with a basin of laundry to be washed. She seemed to have heard the child talking to someone just now, and looked at the door.

"Little Shitou, who were you talking to just now?"

"That's it!"

The child got up from the ground, pointing his dirty fingers at the backs of the two people leaving the door.

"A Taoist priest, a strange big brother, and an old donkey. The big brother is also carrying a coffin, just like the one that my grandfather lay on when he died..."

Bang Dang, the tub fell to the ground, the woman turned pale with fright, and covered the child's mouth, but she didn't see anyone at all in her eyes.

.......

After leaving Fushui County, the two of them didn't talk much, even Daoist Ha and Nie Honglian, who was always fond of talking, kept silent. They walked straight south along the road under their feet, and they were Lujiacun and Beicun.

The sky hangs down on the top of Qixia Mountain, and the twilight shines down. The sound of jingle bells echoes on the road. The figures in the golden fields are probably used to the sound of bells on the necks of the rough horses going south and north. Occasionally, it is just one or two Stand up straight and let your back relax.

Then, seeing two people walking towards the fork with a donkey, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, dropped the scythe in his hand and ran up the field ridge, shouting to the surrounding villagers who were buried in harvesting crops:

"Everyone stop busy!!"

When the busy villagers around stood up straight, the farmer took off his straw hat and waved it towards the side of the road as they walked up the dirt road into the village.

"Good life!!"

When the busy villagers in the fields heard the name, they threw away their farm tools and rushed to the road in a swarm.

"Liangsheng!" "Everyone, Liangsheng is back!"

"I'll notify Uncle Lu and Aunt Li!"

The younger one, with his baggy trousers around his arms, ran barefoot on the ridge of the field towards the village.

On the dirt road leading into the village, crowds rushed up, and surrounded Lu Liangsheng on three floors inside and three floors outside. Fortunately, he couldn't see the coffin on his shoulder, but they were still asking questions.

"Liangsheng, where have you been recently?" "By the way, it's said that you smashed the emperor's palace, isn't it?"

"...Everyone, keep your voices down, don't talk about it, let Liangsheng go home first, and don't mention his return to outsiders."

"That's right, it's best not to mention people from Beicun..."

"That... I am from Beicun."

Lu Liangsheng listened to the caring words of relatives in the village, and he rarely smiled when he stood there. From a distance, he just heard "Liangsheng!"

At the entrance of the village, the figures of Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi trotted over, followed closely behind by eight tall and burly men, whose skin with taut muscles reflected the setting sun to reveal a metallic texture.

"mother."

Everyone parted to make way, Lu Liangsheng looked at the woman who was coming, her hair was graying a lot, he stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms.

"Liangsheng made you worry."

Li Jinhua slapped her son on the shoulder with his hand, wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes, pulled her husband who was standing beside her to her son, looked around at the smiling villagers, and yelled at them with her hands on her hips.

"Go, do what you need to do, what's interesting."

The crowd laughed out loud, and dispersed in a hurry. Someone saw the Taoist at the side and reached out to hug him. The Taoist was startled and pushed him away for a moment.

"what!"

The eight people suddenly surrounded the Taoist. Amidst the loud shouts, the muscles in their arms swelled, they clenched their fists, and there was a crackling sound. The chest muscles in the open front of their clothes were knotted and trembled towards Sun Yingxian.

Lu Pan raised his chin.

"Little Taoist priest, do you want to be rough again?"

The corner of the Taoist's mouth twitched, and he turned away blushing, hurriedly squeezed out, and galloped towards the village, leading the old donkey.

At the entrance of the village, Lu Liangsheng chatted with his parents and asked them to go home first. He had to go to Qixia Mountain first. Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi knew that their son was old and had his own opinions, so they didn't want to ask more questions.

"Then come back earlier, your father and I will go back and cook the food for you first."

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng nodded, and when his parents left, he quietly dragged the coffin with his force, walked to the path west of the village, and walked up the mountainside along the mountain path where he met Master Toad. The red rope that had been tied to the tree had long since faded.

As the sun sets, Xiyun is burning red, like a Xiayi draped at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Liangsheng put the coffin under the old pine, sat on a rock, looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the rolling mountains, the branches and leaves of the nearby old pine caressed, and there was a soft rustling sound.

"Master, how is the scenery here?"

Soon, he stood up and used the earth-covering technique in the "Five Elements of Taoism" to go backwards, raise a crack in the soil and rock under the pine, and put the coffin down.

He took a neat stone tablet from a large rock, pulled out the moon at his waist, and carved a line of writing - the tomb of his mentor Shu Hua, and stood in front of the grave.

The moon was stuck on the ground and swayed slightly. Lu Liangsheng leaned on the old pine and sat beside the tombstone. Together with his mentor, he looked at Qixia Mountain and the sea of ​​clouds, and gently read the books taught by the old man.

The rays of the sun blew across the mountain village like a gauze, leaving the last ray of light.

A few birds descended to the treetops, combing their feathers.

The deserted fenced yard became lively, Hong Lian's portrait floated to its original position and hung up, Lu Xiaoxian ran over happily, and the two girls held hands and spun in a small circle.
