Great Sui Guoshi

wow——

In the gloomy forest, the grass and trees swayed, and a figure of a person quickly shuttled through the forest. The rear pierced through the air and rushed forward. On the shaft, the feathered arrows were still trembling.

"He's over there!" "Catch him, he's a spy from the Sui Dynasty!"

"Don't run—"

"Separate and chase!"

More than a dozen flames came from not far away, the figure rolling out of the ground got up, covered his arms and ran forward, breathing heavily from his mouth, and rushed out of several big trees in front, in the black outline, a building was burning with flames with.

"In the past, if you mix it up, you can also delay the pursuit..."

The thought flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help speeding up, ran over, rushed into the eaves, and leaned against the door frame to see a green-clothed and white robe inside, a scholar in his early teens was holding a pot, and there was a good-looking woman beside him Squatting on the ground was holding a bowl, and Toad in floral clothes was sitting on the ground with a bowl in front of him.

Ahhhh! !

An old donkey was still neighing at him at the foot of the wall.

As a spy, he was keen to observe. With just one glance, his scalp became numb, his eyes shrank suddenly, and the place he stared at was the ground behind the woman, where there was no shadow cast by the fire.

"He's over there, I see it!" "Don't let him get away!"

The voice chased after him, and the man threw the weapon in his hand on the ground with a bang, rushed into the temple, and knelt directly on the ground.

"Excellent help!"

Well…..

That's pretty straightforward.

Lu Liangsheng was a little stunned, looked at the ground, and probably understood how this man saw it, put down the pot, and looked outside the temple gate.

"You asked me to save you, so why were you hunted down?"

"To tell you the truth, I am the master of Sui."

Since he is an expert, he yelled a lot outside and probably heard it. Naturally, this man didn't dare to hide anything and said it frankly.

"It was because of my family's coach who came to inquire about Chen Chao's situation, and was found to be an informant, so he was chased and killed."

Speaking of this, the sound of footsteps outside approached, he knelt on the ground, quickly walked a few steps forward, and kowtowed his head.

"I also hope that the master will save my life. I have no choice but to follow orders. If I am saved, I will report the truth to my coach Qinghe Lord Yang Su."

"Yang Su?" Lu Liangsheng was taken aback for a moment.

The spy raised his face slightly: "That's right, my head coach knows how to teach, and he can fly to the sky and escape from the ground...does the expert also recognize it?"

"Naturally."

Lu Liangsheng and Yang Su had met twice, and they were quite friendly. Besides, he also agreed with the unification of the world. If he didn't save the spy in front of him, it would be unreasonable, but he was chased by soldiers of the Chen Dynasty, and he was a member of the Chen Dynasty... …

Thinking of this, I have a headache.

'Both sides are still not necessarily good. '

Outside the temple gate, more than a dozen figures were approaching the small temple. Lu Liangsheng sighed, and with a flick of his sleeves, a strong wind blew up, and the dust on the ground was blown up. When the spy looked in horror, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in the wind , his eyes dazzled, his body seemed to be flying lightly.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the surroundings were already pitch-black, but I came to the mountain, looked to the foot of the mountain, and in the darkness in the distance, I could still see a little light of fire.

"This……"

In the blink of an eye, they were so far apart?The spy was so shocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence, he came back to his senses for a moment, bowed to the small temple lit up in the distance, and saluted, hurriedly carrying the news, ran to the north of the river, and quickly disappeared into the night .

In the small temple below, figures with knives rushed in one after another. Inside, there was only a bunch of bonfires shaking slightly in the wind they brought in.

The temple is very small, and it can be seen at a glance from ordinary people, but unfortunately there is not even a ghost inside.

"What the hell!"

"Obviously I saw that person come in... why is there no one there?" "Look again?!"

"Still not, the place is so big, can it still fly?"

"But who started this fire?"

The dozen or so Chen Dynasty soldiers who came in looked back and forth, but found no clues, so they had to go out and search elsewhere.

The sound of footsteps faded away into the darkness outside. In the temple, Lu Liangsheng sat on the altar to show his figure, waving his robe to remove the invisibility spell, the old donkey under the wall stared at his eyes, stuck out his tongue, stood on three legs, and one leg was bent high Lifting it, keeping its posture motionless, it was also given a fixation technique.

Taoist Toad sat blankly under the altar, staring straight at the small bowl that had been kicked over on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"My mother's... the old man just took a bite."

The figure on the stage came down, picked up the bowl, put the small pot on the fire again, and Lu Liangsheng dug out a small bag of rice from the bookshelf.

"It's not far from home anyway, I'll make another pot for Master."

"It's almost there."

Hearing his apprentice's words, Toad Dao's anger also eased a little, but it was a pity to look at the porridge spilled on the ground, and saw the silhouette of Lu Liangsheng washing rice, big lala sitting with his two short legs stretched out. Come down and show your white belly.

'This should be the old man's treatment. '

Chapter 2 The Thatched Cottage

The golden light pervades the eastern cloud, pushing the black edge and quickly spreading across the distant foothills, small villages, and patches of forest, and shines on the small temple in front.

The grass leaves that had accumulated dewdrops were also rolled into the mouth by the protruding tongue. The old donkey chewed and grunted, turning his head to look at the temple gate.

The morning light shone into the temple gate, and there was still a faint lingering smoke from the burnt bonfire. In the light, a figure walked by. Lu Liangsheng came out with two bookshelves and placed them on both sides of the donkey's buttocks.

Behind him, Taoist Toad came out wrapped in flowered clothes and walked into the sun, felt the warmth on his face, and stretched lazily.

Whoa...

He yawned a long time, smacked his lips, went under the bookshelf, climbed up the rope and sat in the compartment.

"It's time to go back now? I'm not used to being outside as a teacher..."

As the toad spoke, he wrapped the rope around his waist and tied it tightly: "...a person who wants to be used to the mountains as a teacher, actually likes to live in a small place."

"Master is missing Lujiacun."

After packing his bags, Lu Liangsheng turned his head and smiled, adjusted the reins, then sat on the donkey's back, and let the old donkey go southeast, along the road back to Qixia Mountain.

I have walked this road twice, and the old donkey is probably familiar with it. I don’t need Lu Liangsheng’s guidance. I eat the grass leaves on the ground along the way, and move forward happily. , Pedestrians and business travelers are in a hurry, among them, there are many people with packages on their backs, dragging a family of people, driving a donkey cart, or pushing a wheelbarrow, carrying chickens and ducks, all the family can take away Valuable items slowly moved further south.

Different from the atmosphere on the other side of the river, here will be a battlefield. It is human nature to seek good luck and avoid disaster. Hearing the news that the war is coming, the people who were watching began to disperse one by one. Time erupted in a large-scale migration.

Amid the noise, Lu Liang gave birth to the old donkey, pulled the reins and squeezed through the crowd, surrounded by footsteps and shouts, and the road was full of people fleeing south.

"Hurry up, take away all the family members, don't leave them for the Sui army, they kill people without blinking an eye, maybe they will go south tomorrow, once they cross the river, everyone in the family may be killed, then It's true that chickens and dogs don't stay..."

The guards dressed in yamen costumes rode on horseback, hissing and shouting in the surging crowd, but compared to the countless mixed voices, they still seemed small.

There was a woman carrying a basket with food stored at home, rushing through the crowd in panic, looking around for something, beside her, there was a shirtless man, who should be her man.

"Stone! Little stone! Answer mother——"

While the woman was crying and shouting, she pulled the passers-by and asked questions, while her husband was doing the same thing on the other side, with an anxious face and red eyes.

"Shitou, where are you?! When you hear daddy's voice, answer it!!"

After squeezing a few feet away, Lu Liangsheng quietly tore off the clothes of the child in his hand from the woman, and used the little magic of tracking to send the crying child to the couple's hands at a distance of more than ten feet.

There was no end to the crowd, and this scene was like the flood of victims he saw when he returned to Heliangzhou. Fortunately, in the hinterland of Nanchen, after the autumn harvest, the people would have surplus food to make ends meet. The tragedy of He Liangzhou at that time would not happen.

Passing by the capital Tianzhi, the city has entered martial law at this time, and cavalry can be seen roaring past from time to time, and when encountering Lu Liangsheng dressed as a scholar, they will come to check.

"It should be spring next year, and the war is approaching."

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Lu Liangsheng had no intention of going in. He led the old donkey and turned to go south, and rushed back to Qixia Mountain. It was already evening, and the mountain was quiet. Passing by the foot of Xiaoquan Mountain, he heard a fox cry or two.

Looking up, under the starry sky, on the edge of the cliff, a crouching fox shadow was looking in the direction of Lujia Village.

"Wait for me by the roadside."

Lu Liangsheng patted the donkey's head, and then dodged, and the afterimage leaped across the mountain forest. After a few rounds, he reached the top of the mountain, walked over the mossy rock, and sat under the stars and moon as the fox's rouge, looking at the lights on the opposite mountain. He heard footsteps coming from behind him, and swung his fluffy red tail.

Immediately, she stood up, transformed into a beautiful woman in the blink of an eye, and gave a blessing.

"Rouge met Mister."

"It's not too polite, I just heard your neighing, come and have a look."

Lu Liangsheng looked at her, went to stand aside, and looked at the mountain village over there, "If you miss your child, go and have a look, don't be so restrained."

"The concubine is afraid of disturbing my husband's parents." Honghu also has concerns. She fell in love with her husband Zhang Liancheng before, which caused a lot of influence on Zhang Dongming and his wife, and as a demon, it will also harm the health of ordinary people.

Seeing her thoughts, Lu Liangsheng smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I still have Hong Lian, a Rakshasa ghost, and I haven't hurt my parents. I'll be fine if I restrain my evil spirit."

"Rouge thank you sir for your kindness."

The red fox thought for a while but shook his head, stepped back, and bowed to the scholar: "Mingyue was taken in by my husband, and my concubine can stay so close to Mingyue to practice and recuperate. I am very grateful, and I dare not ask too much. .”

"It's up to you, anyway, I promised you to visit the child."

After finishing speaking, Lu Liangsheng didn't talk any more, turned around and disappeared into the forest ahead, and returned to the foot of the mountain. At some point, Hong Lian was squatting by the roadside, picking up stones and throwing them around. When the young master came back, he opened his eyes and smiled, and went back into the painting with peace of mind.

Naturally, the scholar could see what he was thinking, so he pulled the rein with a smile, and led the old donkey back to the village.

Then...the rein slipped from his hand, even the old donkey was stunned, and ran to the original location of the donkey shed, looking for a place where it slept.

The original fenced yard is gone, and the built house has only a few walls standing, and there are cut wood, bricks, soil and gravel everywhere. Not far away, Yu Wentuo, Li Suian, and Qu Yuanfeng huddled together, sleeping on a straw mat, and interacting with each other. With their legs crossed, their faces dirty, they rubbed their mouth and nose with their hands in their sleep, and continued to sleep soundly, without feeling that anyone was looking at them.

"These three little guys are not afraid of catching cold."

I didn't see my parents returning my sister, so I must have stayed at a relative's house. Lu Liangsheng sighed and pinched his fingers, and cast a warming spell on the three teenagers on the straw mat, so as not to catch the cold.

The old donkey couldn't find the place where he used to sleep, so he came over with his head bowed rather aggrieved, and stretched out his mouth to tug on the sleeve of his master's robe.

In the bookshelf compartment, the small door creaked open.

Taoist Ha folded his arms, and was also stunned, turning his head to look at his apprentice: "Where will you sleep tonight, Master?"

"Somewhere to sleep."

Lu Liangsheng thought for a while, snapped his fingers, turned and left, and the old donkey consciously followed behind, all the way up to Qixia Mountain in the west of the village, and along the mountain road that he had walked countless times, he came to the old tree.

"Two years ago, I told Lao Sun that I would no longer be an official, and I would build a shed here in the future. I didn't expect to see him so soon."

Like a self-deprecating joke, Lu Liangsheng took down the bookshelf, threw the Moon Misty Sword aside, shook out his sleeves, and sacrificed the "Five Elements of Taoism". , Broken treetops, withered yellow grass and trees flew out densely.

The thick wooden pillars are inserted into the ground, and the rocks on the ground crack open, wrapping the wooden pillars to form four corners, and then the thinner branches swarm forward and build a wooden wall along the pillars at the four corners. Come, use it as a roof, or block the gaps tightly, shrubs and twigs extend forward along the wall, encircle the city with a fence, and a few relatively flat rocks in the distance fall down and turn into stone benches and tables.

In a short while, the thatched cottage adjacent to the old pine tree and the tomb of his teacher was completed. The house made by the painting skills and the control of vegetation and rocks by the Five Elements Taoism was easy for Lu Liangsheng.

Fingers touch the dense grass wall, and the intertwined branches and leaves rustle and move, revealing a door for people to come and go at will.

Walking inside, the bookshelf is thrown to the ground, withered vines and branches extending from the wall, interweaving a soft, soft desk, hanging the picture scroll on the wall, and slowly lowering it to reveal red pity.

The books are stacked on the table, and the ink inkstone and brushes are placed on it, and it is the Moxiang study room again.

"How is Master?"

Lu Liangsheng lit a candle to illuminate the surroundings.

The small door of the bookshelf over there was pushed open, Taoist Toad yawned, carrying a black-striped gourd on his back, a cigarette rod hanging from his waist, hugging his quilt sleepily, with drooping eyelids, he came out sleepily and climbed onto the soft bed. Lie down, covered with a small quilt, stretched his limbs comfortably, and retracted inside.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For a moment, he fell asleep soundly.

After traveling for several days, Lu Liangsheng was exhausted and fell asleep, so he fell asleep next to his master.

Chapter 2 Inductive Spells

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Liangsheng, who had just woken up, was awakened by the noise outside. The Toad Taoist beside him also opened his toad eyes, and took off the quilt. On the edge of the bed, the bi-fins planed quickly in mid-air, and they still fell straight to the bottom of the bed, and there was a crackling sound.

Lu Liangsheng put on his shoes, only then did he see the big toad lying on the ground.

"Master, are you in a hurry to catch up?"

"Master, you need to pee urgently, can't you?!" Taoist Toad raised his face and said, the apprentice got up, went to open the door, and amidst the crisp birdsong, two village folks who were chopping firewood stood there , pointing to this hut and speaking.

"Where did the house come from..."

"Yeah, I didn't even go up the mountain yesterday."
