Great Sui Guoshi

"Master, how is your health?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I got up earlier than you as a teacher." Toad yawned a lot after finishing his morning exercises, "I'm just a little hungry..."

Although the demon core has been damaged, the souls of one person and one demon are tied together by the apprentice's spell of "same life and return", as long as one of them does not die, the other will last forever.

However, this kind of spell also has a drawback, which is equivalent to dividing half of the caster's lifespan to the opponent.

"You are so confused."

Speaking of this matter, Taoist Ha couldn't help jumping up and hitting him on the knee with a frog web, but when he saw the smiling apprentice, he turned and sat down on the steps under the eaves helplessly, propping his chin.

"Forget it, if you don't become a real immortal, your life expectancy is only a hundred years. If you are saved as a teacher, you can only live for another [-] years at most... A good person, why does a teacher accept you as an apprentice."

In fact, there was no trace of blame in Toad's words. He got up and shook his head with the webbed on his back, walked back to the house, dug out the black-striped gourd from the compartment of the bookshelf, held it in his arms to cover his sight, and wobbled. Come here and put it in front of the apprentice.

"Liangsheng, this gourd is a magic weapon refined by the master's natal supernatural power. Now that the master and your soul are connected, you can use it."

The scholar raised his eyebrows: "Can swallow everything in the world?"

Taoist Toad slapped the gourd quite proudly, nodded slightly, and looked at Chenyang: "Hmph, of course."

Speaking of which, he smacked his lips and coughed dryly: "But it won't be used for the time being, it was struck by lightning last time, and it hasn't been repaired...you can use it when you have time to repair it."

Uh……

Lu Liangsheng took the gourd and played with it in his hands. Now it can only be used as a medicine pill, but that's okay, it's a magic weapon anyway, just accept it.

As for how short his lifespan is, he doesn't care about it. Cultivating the Tao is about following one's heart. If you don't save the master and leave regrets, even if you cultivate the holy way for a thousand years, you will not be happy.

In the past [-] years, there are still many things that can be done, and it may not be impossible to make up for the lack of life.

The master and apprentice sat under the eaves and basked in the sun and talked for a long time. Hong Lian, who had boiled the medicine over there, asked the Taoist priest on the tree to bring it to the thick-bearded man in the other room.

It was one of the few people who came to help slay demons that day. Lu Liangsheng followed the Taoist into the house. On the haystack, the man had already woken up and saw the two people who came in.

Barely propped up, bowed his hands and saluted.

"Yan Chixia, I met two fellow Taoists!"

He was relieved of some strength by Lu Liangsheng's spell before, and the injury was not too serious. He drank the soup to stabilize the internal injury, rested for a while, and talked about his own history.

"The master's sect is just a small sect, not comparable to those big sects. Damn that centipede monster has been hiding in the capital for so long, and Yan has been to Tianzhi several times without noticing it."

The Taoist spat out the grass roots and said with a smile, "If you found out earlier, you would have died a long time ago."

On the opposite side, the man named Yan Chixia froze for a moment, then nodded and smiled and said, "That's true. I don't have a deep cultivation, and I will die if I encounter such a big monster. It's a pity that I realized it too late, otherwise the rest of us The same door will not die."

"Well." Lu Liangsheng didn't know how to comfort him, and took over the empty bowl, "When a person is dead, he can go to the ground and rest in peace. Maybe this incident will make you and me more vigilant in the future. Demons and demons have never stopped. However, maybe in the future, we can get rid of demons and defend the way, and we can meet Brother Yan, and then we need to lend a helping hand."

"Haha, I'm not a person who loves children, so I just sigh."

Yan Chixia was also open-minded. Laughing, she stood up, took the sword box that was lying on the side, put her back on her back, and arched her hands towards Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist.

"The matter here is over, I went back to find the bones of my fellow disciples for burial, and reported to my master."

The scholar was worried about his injury and asked him to stay for a few more nights, but the other party probably couldn't sit still, so he had to be sent outside, Lu Liangsheng arched his hands.

"Brother Yan, see you in the future!"

On the road away from the small courtyard, Yan Chixia strode forward with her sword box on her back, turned her back to the two people behind her, and waved her hand: "Haha, at the end of the world, see you by fate!"

"By the way, where is Zuo Zhengyang?"

Watching the man go away, his figure disappeared into the forest outside, and then Lu Liangsheng remembered that there was another Zuo Zhengyang. As for Min Changwen and Min Yuerou's father and daughter, it is estimated that they are in the city right now. Make this kind of thing a priority.

"I was taken back by the Min family's father and daughter." The Taoist put his hands on the back of his head, turned around and started to walk back: "They are all officials, so they cannot die, but if we don't eat, we will starve to death."

On one side, Taoist Toad, who was lying on the donkey's head basking in the sun, opened his eyelids and said lightly, "You only know? You don't cook yet, the old man thinks about what to eat..."

A butterfly flew by in the sun, and a thick tongue grabbed the flying butterfly and pulled it closer to its mouth.

Taoist Toad's veins were bulging, he stood up abruptly, and hit the donkey's head with his frog webs.

"My mother, I don't want to learn from the good ones, but stick out my tongue just like the old man!!"

uh huh ang~~

The old donkey neighed and jumped up and down in the courtyard with his tongue crooked, trying to shake the toad off his head, but Daoist Toad was holding on to the donkey's ear tightly, and his hand was still falling!

"You have the ability, didn't you see you go crazy last night?!"

"Tell you to learn from this old man! Tell you to learn from this old man!!"

The frog webbed once and for all, but the old donkey excitedly ran around against the toad Taoist.

When the sun came down, Lu Liangsheng calmed down, sat down on the steps, and watched Hong Lian run to fight, the Taoist was cooking beside him, the small courtyard was still very lively, nothing had changed.

......

"It's really lively here."

On the road outside the small courtyard, a light blue horse stopped. Min Yuerou pulled her hair, smiled and pulled the rein, and walked towards this side one by one.

"However, you guys are much more lively in the capital."

Chapter 198 Reminiscing about Jiang Donglang

"How lively is the capital city?"

Lu Liangsheng sat on the steps, watching the woman over there tie the light green horse to one side of the tree, and the old donkey who was playing with the toad Taoist stopped, arched his muzzle, and groaned at the horse, frightened. The light blue horse trots around the tree.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt your horse."

Hearing the words of the scholar under the eaves, Min Yuerou just walked over in peace, Hong Lian at the side snorted, but did not do anything hostile, turned around and went into the house.

"It seems that some people don't welcome it." The woman glanced at the door where Hong Lian entered, and the Taoist turned his head to look at it, and laughed.

"Hey, that's not human..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was half opened, and a branch fell on his head.

The corner of Min Yuerou's mouth smiled slightly, she squatted down beside the fire with her skirt in her arms, smelled the cooking in the pot, and said: "It smells so good." Then she talked about the things in the capital.

"Originally my father wanted to come over to see you, but I only found out about His Majesty Bintian when I returned to the city last night, and in the capital... Well, there are no other officials, so my father can only come forward and promote officials from below to stabilize the situation." Living in the embarrassing situation of having no ministers in the court, but also presiding over His Majesty's funeral, and the enthronement of the new king."

Lu Liangsheng came over, passed a dead branch into the fire, and said with a smile:

"It's reasonable, Min Shangshu is now the biggest official in the capital, he should be the one to preside over the overall situation, but the new emperor should be Chen Jing, right?"

The woman pulled a strand of blue hair to her ear, she didn't know much about it.

"After my father entered the palace, he didn't have time to come back. The city is in chaos now, and the yamen has to keep the people safe. The streets are full of people. Speaking of..."

She glanced at the scholar's side face, and when he looked over, he quickly lowered his head and helped pass a dead branch.

"Everyone is talking about what happened last night. There are monsters and dragons again... Many people are so scared that they can't figure it out."

Next to him, Taoist Toad came from the courtyard dam with his flippers on his back. He stepped on his flippers and walked past the woman, and looked into the pot with his feet on his feet.

"Is there another old monk in the city?"

Although she had heard this toad talk before, Min Yuerou was still a little scared, and carefully moved to one side.

From the side, Lu Liangsheng looked over and said with a smile, "This is my master?"

The woman thought of the scholar whose robes were fluttering and flying in the air that night, and looked at the short toad facing the pot with its flippers in front of him, with its mouth slightly opened, and it was difficult to close it.

"Why? Toad can't teach apprentices?"

Toad Daoist's toad glanced slightly slantingly across the corners of his eyes. Women are naturally afraid of such infiltrating things, not to mention they can talk and wear clothes. Min Yuerou immediately shook her whole body and waved her hands again and again.

"no no……"

"It's fine if you don't. Is the old monk in the city?"

The woman replied in a low voice: "Yes, that master is chanting scriptures in the city to help calm people's hearts."

"It's good to be there." Taoist Ha lifted his webbing to look at the apprentice beside him, and said solemnly: "Liangsheng, pack your bags, let's go quickly, as soon as the teacher sees him, he will feel uncomfortable!"

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Master would say something important, but what he was waiting for was these words. The Taoist over there turned his face, still holding a wooden spoon in his hand, and knocked on the side of the pot with staring eyes.

"All the rice is cooked, you said you want to leave?!"

Toad looked at him, and after a while, he waved his big web: "Then leave after eating!"

The three people who were chatting suddenly stopped their voices at this moment. The old donkey lying on the side in the yard shook his ears and raised his head. Door.

This made Min Yuerou's heart tighten suddenly, she swallowed her saliva, and whispered: "What's wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden blow, and the originally sunny morning sun turned overcast in the sight, and the woman belonged to yin, and she was directly dry until a chill hit her whole body, and she began to tremble.

When she asked again, "What's the matter?", Lu Liangsheng got up and walked out of the eaves. In the gloomy sky, it seemed like rain was falling.

Among the weeds and roads outside the courtyard, a tall and thin figure was dragging a dusty robe, wearing a pointed hat, standing there with an oiled paper umbrella open, and immediately, as if floating, came towards this side.

Seeing Lu Liangsheng in white and green robes in the courtyard, he raised his umbrella and bowed slightly.

"I met Mr. Lu."

Under the man's high hat, a black curtain covered his face, so he couldn't see his face. However, looking at his yin energy and the faint sandalwood scent, Lu Liangsheng probably knew the origin of the man.

"I don't know which chief judge you are serving under?"

"The Quick Reporting Division has the Quick Reporting Envoys under its jurisdiction."

Yincha is a general term, even patrolling day and night, seducing souls and impermanence can be called Yincha, which is equivalent to catching heads, catching fast, and yamen servants in the yamen of the underworld. Lu Liangsheng naturally looked respectful.

Under the eaves over there, saw the scholar standing alone in the courtyard as if talking to the air, Min Yuerou's face turned pale, even though he had seen monsters, but it was dark night, so he couldn't see clearly, and now he saw an empty place, It will inevitably feel more infiltrating.

"Master Toad, who is Mr. Lu talking to?"

"Hmph." Taoist Toad glanced at the courtyard, stretched out his short legs holding the small bowl, and picked up the food, "It's just an accident, there's nothing to make a fuss about."

Odds?

Min Yuerou shuddered instantly, and quickly turned her head back, not daring to look at it again. Ghosts and monsters are different again. From childhood to adulthood, descriptions of monsters are mostly seen in books. When listening to stories, ghosts are from childhood The stories told vividly by the adults in the family leave a lot of shadows and have great taboos.

In his ears, he still heard the words of the scholar.

"Then why are you looking for me here?"

Under the umbrella, the tall and thin figure hung on the toes of the ground, floated back to one side, and replied hoarsely.

"Chenghuang would like to invite you, sir, to meet you."

The City God is divided into three levels: capital city, prefecture, and county. This City God is the figure in white that I saw last night.

However, it was the first time to see the Yin official as a living person.

Lu Liangsheng cupped his hands and saluted: "Then please wait a moment."

After saying that, he went back under the eaves and told Taoist Ha and Sun Yingxian about the situation. Naturally, he couldn't eat the meal, so he asked the Taoist to save a bowl for him to eat when he came back. Then he said goodbye to Min Yuerou, without bringing the Moon Misty Sword, and went It was the errand who was waiting outside the hospital and made a gesture of please.

"It's been a long time, let's go."

The scholar was gentle and courteous, which made Yin Cha very fond of him. When he walked beside him, he couldn't help but move the umbrella a little to cover him, but suddenly felt that it was wrong, and put it back again.

Uh... a bad habit of holding an umbrella for the city god.

Yin air permeates under the feet of one person and one ghost, and the sun shines again after passing through a place, as if only this side of the world is cloudy, which makes Lu Liangsheng feel fresh, probably because of the umbrella of Yin.

Walking through the eastern suburbs, the messy and broken roads, far and near, have been repaired by many peasants under the supervision. It seems that Lu Liangsheng is not visible, and he is still stepping on the mud, sand and gravel.

There is a branch road to the south of the official road, and the Town God's Temple is two miles away. The red walls and black tiles have fallen a lot of dead leaves, and the long stone steps are covered with moss. The incense was lingering, and it seemed that there was a lot of incense again.

More than a dozen believers, men and women, are cleaning. Seeing that there are new pilgrims entering the door, they consciously step forward to help and guide the location of incense.

Under the guidance of the errand, Lu Liangsheng stepped over the threshold and walked into the City God's Hall. The clay sculptures and altars that he saw outside were quieted down as soon as he entered.

The underworld servants in official robes walked around, all the chiefs filed their cases together, and only five of the seven judges were handling official duties, occasionally glanced over, and continued to do their own things, as busy as the office of the Yangshi government office.

"Haha, Mr. Lu."

In the first place, a clay sculpture shone with divine light, and a figure walked out with a smile.

The man had a jade-like face, a white robe with a lun scarf, and a slender figure. He walked quickly in front of Lu Liangsheng and arched his hands.

"Tianzhi City God, Zhou Yu."

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the name, he shook his sleeves and bowed his hands in return.

"Qixia Mountain, Lu Liangsheng, I met Governor Zhou."
