Great Sui Guoshi

At this time, when they saw the figure in green and white robes walking out with the door open, the tension between the two of them disappeared immediately, and they smiled on their rough faces.

"So it's Liang Sheng. You didn't travel far away. When did you come back?"

"I rushed back last night."

Lu Liangsheng went out and took the water bag and poured it into the palm of his hand, rubbed it on his face again, and replied with a smile: "...But when I came back, the house hadn't been built yet, so I built a grass shed here first Get some sleep."

After chatting with the two of them for a while, I called the old Matsushita's donkey over, put the luggage here for the time being, and went down the mountain to see the house first.

"Master won't go down the mountain?"

"No, let's sleep for a while as a teacher, but go for a walk in the mountains."

Toad Taoist was lying on the bed and heard the sound of the neck ringing away, opened his eyes suddenly, jumped off the bed and ran to the bookshelf, hugged the three porcelain vases brought from the Qishan cave, spread his flippers and ran excitedly to the opposite mountain forest, Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, he flung his tongue and ran to the original cave.

"open!"

With only a little mana remaining, the huge boulder slowly moved through a gap with a heavy muffled sound. Taoist Toad threw the porcelain bottle in first, looked outside, then squeezed his belly in. He didn't know what to do. Lifting the webbed and waving it, hastily closed the boulder again with a bang.

The flying bird flew across the white clouds and fell to the mountain village below. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey back home. Lu Pan and the other eight were shirtless back and forth helping to pick up earth and rocks. Looking at the direction of the door and the future direction of the wooden beam, the three teenagers carried the wood around under his command...

Lu Laoshi was building the wall there with a brick knife, and his wife Li Jinhua cooked a big pot of breakfast for all the villagers who helped with the work to come to eat.

Seeing her son coming back, Li Jinhua hurriedly scooped up a bowl for Xiaoxian to bring over. Lu Xiaoxian, who was already a big girl, was a little more reserved than before. When she saw her brother, she spoke softly and slowly.

"Brother, when did you come back? Here, Mother Gangsheng."

"Last night, seeing that there was no place to sleep at home, I went to the mountains to make do for the night."

Lu Liangsheng took the bowl and took a sip, his eyes swept around, the gray old hen was clucking around, and he was also looking around at the scholar's feet with his head tilted.

"Where is the old grandson?"

"Let's run away. Two days ago, I suddenly said that I had some insights and wanted to run around."

This old grandson, let him help take care of the house, leave as soon as he says, and still wants to be my brother-in-law, I'm afraid I have to think about it later.

At this time, Wang Banyan directed the three young men into the house, and quickly got up and followed Lu Liangsheng's voice to pay respects. Knowing that Yu Wentuo, Li Suian, and Qu Yuanfeng had been tricked, they left the wood and ran out, squeezing the old man Go to the side, stand in front of Lu Liangsheng and bow.

"Meet Master!"

After building the house for several days, the hands of the three people were mostly calluses, which showed that they were not lazy and slippery. After breakfast, Lu Liangsheng also went to help, and kept it until dark, and then remembered the master who was still on the mountain.

"I must be starving..."

After taking dinner, he returned from the village to the west mountainside. Taoist Toad was lying on the bed, with his gray belly closed and his eyelids half closed. When he saw his apprentice push the door open and put the food on the table, he immediately got up and jumped up. After a few times, it hooked onto the edge of the table, and kicked a few times with its short legs, and it was Lu Liangsheng who stretched out his hand to push it, and then climbed up, hugged the delicate bowl in his arms, and ate a mouthful of hot food. He let out a sigh of relief.

"Almost starved my teacher to death!"

"Building a house, I almost forgot, I promise not to do it next time."

Lu Liangsheng smiled, took a few Dharma classics selected from the Qishan Cave Mansion and opened them, sat down beside Taoist Ha, Hong Lian moved the candle, and poked his face curiously.

"Young master, do you want to learn from the above?"

"It doesn't have to be learned, at least you have to know how to practice."

With the help of the lights, Lu Liangsheng glanced at the handwriting one by one, memorizing the contents inside. If he wanted to teach Yu Wentuo and them, he had to master the above contents, otherwise what would he teach?

Of course, it is impossible to thoroughly understand several books of spells in one go, and it is probably saved for self-study while teaching them. You can't just throw the books to the three of them and let them read them by themselves.

Studying other sects is different from studying, but they also have the same place, that is, enlightenment, Lu Liangsheng can be admitted to Gongsheng, and he has his own way of studying characters, such as "Indigo Thunder and Divine Fire", which is difficult to understand. The first place is to write notes to make the analysis thorough.

Afterwards, he asked Hong Lian, who was singing beside him, to help grind the ink. The scholar took the wolf brush and dipped it, spread out a piece of white paper and wrote down the pen.

Daoist Toad came with a bowl in his hand, stepping on his flippers, glanced at the paper, the nib of his pen swam quickly to write the handwriting, stretched his legs and sat down with the bowl in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"Bring together the commented places."

The writing nib stopped for a moment, and in the light, Lu Liangsheng raised his head, rubbed his cheeks, and stared at the densely packed content on the paper.

"List out all the things you want to use, and annotate them. After you have a certain foundation, you can read them yourself."

As he said that, he also held several other academic books in his hands and raised them.

"But before that, they still have to learn sage studies for a while."

In his hand, the books were lined up, "Zhi De", "Zuo Lun", "Warning", and saw the titles of the books above.Taoist Toad hurriedly held the bowl and turned away, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Poor those three young men who called me Master, I really don't know what you taught them to be..."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and did not speak, took the pen again, and while flipping through "Indigo Thunder God Fire" and "Controlling the Sword", he wrote notes, and by the way, he also recited the wind, forest, fire, and mountains that he had comprehended in the Five Elements Taoism, It is extracted from the Obscure Moon Sword to form a magic circle that can be manipulated by humans.

'This should be suitable for Qu Yuanfeng who wants to be a general. '

In the dim night, in the sound of caressing old pine branches and leaves, the sea of ​​clouds undulates on the cliff behind the warm yellow hut, crosses the winding mountains, stretches to the north, crosses the cities with thousands of lights, and the endless rivers .

Lighted boats and cavalry patrol along the river bank. Among the brightly lit water villages in the distance, there are copper basins erected and bonfires burning fiercely. The generals lined up on both sides quietly looked at the leader above, bowed their heads and turned over. The coach who reads the letter.

Yang Su was dressed in armor and sat on a big tiger-skin chair with a big horse and a golden knife. The letter in his hand was sent from Chang'an. It was his clan brother, and His Majesty wrote it himself.

"Commander, what did His Majesty say?!"

On the left side below, the first general stood up, with a long mustache and short beard, and a burly figure. He stood up like a hill, covering the sight of the people behind him.

"But His Majesty told us to go to war as soon as possible?!"

Above, Yang Su gently put down the letter, looked at the general, stroked his beard and smiled and said: "My brother privately ordered, General Han, don't worry, you are the vanguard of this battle, no one can take it away!"

There was a pause in his tone, and his eyes swept over the generals present.

"Have you ever heard of a man named Lu Liangsheng?!"

Chapter 2 Preaching and Teaching

"... There is Lu Liangsheng, a native of Qixia Mountain in Nanchen. At the end of spring this year, he entered Chang'an at night and uprooted a resident of a cult in the hidden city. Immortal magic and Taoism ran across the long street. Your Majesty has a heart of love for talents. , sent me to search for him, and later met him in Huaiyi Prefecture, and fought against him a little bit. He was no match for me, and it was even rarer than ordinary people who practiced Taoism. ..."

The flames of the braziers set up on both sides swayed, reflecting the figures of generals sitting upright, and the surrounding walls were intertwined with swords, swords and halberds. In the atmosphere of chilling, the generals quietly listened to the continued words of the coach.

"...A few days ago, Your Majesty was in the imperial study in the palace. Yemeng Lu Liangsheng asked to see him. He hoped that our troops from the Sui Dynasty would go south, do less crimes and treat the people kindly. That's why Your Majesty sent this letter quickly."

call…..

huh... huh...

The conference hall was quiet, and the sound of flickering flames could be heard. The burly general at the bottom of the table slapped his knees, and the trembling armor leaves trembled slightly, and the sound was like a bronze bell.

"Marching and fighting, how can we avoid killing, if he has the ability, he might as well let Emperor Nanchen surrender directly!"

Surrounding them, most of them were senior generals who were from the army and had fought in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom. They nodded and echoed this.

"That's right, what General Han said is not unreasonable." "Unless Nan Chen surrenders, there will be no bloodshed!"

"Then Lu, what does a cultivator know?!"

"I see, I just want to delay Nan Chen's time!"

In the first place, Yang Su frowned, I just said a word, what are you doing with all the ascetics in, your fingers tapped on the table, and among the generals who were discussing below, some people saw that the commander's face was not good, and quickly He pulled the companion beside him and gave him a wink, and the words around him gradually became smaller.

Yang Su let out a breath, put aside the letter from his clan brother, stood up with his hands behind his back, and glanced at everyone.

"I also said just now that this person not only cultivates Taoism, but also reads classics and has the ability to govern. How can he be compared with the rotten Confucianism you have seen in the past, just like this commander, who is in charge of military affairs and also practices Taoism. If you can serve in the imperial court, you can become your right-hand man and assist His Majesty with me, and create a foundation for all ages! In this matter, you should not be short-sighted."

Speaking of which, seeing that general named Han Qinhu was still dissatisfied, his eyes were serious.

"Since His Majesty can send a letter, don't you see something?"

Everyone looked at the coach with his hands behind his back. Han Qinhu pressed his knees and narrowed his eyes: "What?"

Yang Su turned his head, glanced at him, turned and walked back to the desk, and said in his voice:

"He told us to do less evil, to explain that the destruction of Nanchen was already foreseen by him, and it cannot be changed. We have a certain chance of winning, and you all just have to let go and fight!"

He took a bamboo tube and held an arrow in his palm. The moment he held it tightly, Yang Su walked to the center, raised his hand, and glanced at everyone.

"Since the Wuya and Huanglong warships have been completed, why not take advantage of the Nanchen army thinking that we will leave the station at the beginning of spring, and catch them by surprise. Once the boat crosses the river at night, the waterway will coordinate, separate and attack together, and the battle will be resolved quickly!"

The tone paused.

"In addition, take the captives and give them preferential treatment, as promised by all Your Majesty, and win the hearts of Jiangnan along the way!"

"Yes!"

Below, all the generals stood up in unison, cupped their hands and drank violently, and the trembling bonfire flickered violently.

Soon, the quiet water village gradually became agitated. Scouts carrying orders flew back and forth along the river bank, docking boats of all sizes in the upper reaches of the river, swaying slightly with the water waves, quietly raising their sails, following the mobilization of troops Today, the transportation and gathering of grain and grass has shown a dignified and solemn look.

Yang Su wore a cloak and walked up to the tower of the water village, his long beard fluttering slightly in the wind, watching the groups of soldiers and horses quietly leaving the village, he slapped his hand on the fence.

"This battle will establish a century-old foundation for our Great Sui!"

The night was pitch black, gradually turning blue, and when the eastern sky turned pale, he raised his long sleeves and bowed his hands towards the south.

"...Thank you Fellow Daoist Lu for accomplishing the unification of Kyushu."

The morning sun that breaks through the gaps in the clouds, shines on the sparkling water of the river, pushes away the black edge inch by inch and spreads rapidly, and the golden sunlight covers the winding mountains.

At the foot of Qixia Mountain, the small village was full of hustle and bustle. One by one, bare-armed men in the village chanted and pushed the beams to the wall. Those who were good at carpentry climbed up the wall and smashed nails one by one with a stone hammer. Lu Laoshi Excitedly circled the walls of the two-storey attic, clapping his hands from time to time.

On the mountainside to the west of the village, Lu Liangsheng stood on the cliff, looking at the sea of ​​clouds, his robe was gently stroking in the wind, and the golden sunlight shone through the turbulent clouds and reflected on half of his face, as if he felt What, look north.

After a while, he turned around and looked at the three young men lined up behind him, as well as the grey-haired Wang Chengen.

Finally, his eyes fell on the old man first.

"Since you have accepted me as your teacher, you will follow my rules. I will officially pass it on to your respective schools today. Cheng En, you bring the art to the beginning, and you only want to learn the art of watching the sky and the stars. Today, as your teacher, I will pass it on in "Zhan Zhang""

Wang Banyan's white beard trembled, he quickly dropped his crutches, and knelt down: "Disciple, thank you, Master!"

"Li Suian!"

Lu Liangsheng turned his gaze to the young man in the middle, who quickly knelt down, arched his hands, and heard the master's voice say, "I pass on the "Sword Control Technique" to you, I hope you will not use this technique to do evil, otherwise I will clean up the door for the master!"

"Disciple won't!" Li Suian kowtowed, raised his face, and said with a smile: "Master, you forgot, I want to be a hero. Why would I do evil things? Absolutely not!"

Lu Liangsheng nodded, and then looked at Qu Yuanfeng who was standing at the end.

"As a teacher, here is a set of "Fenglin Volcano" method, which can be used to deploy troops. It is the dream of all your generals. You can also practice more body exercises in your spare time to strengthen your body."

"Yuanfeng, thank you, Master!" Qu Yuanfeng's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was not interested in the high-level and high-level methods of the gods, but now that he found something suitable for him, he kowtowed three times on the ground.

Among the three teenagers, two have already received their own methods of cultivation, but Yu Wentuo was the only one who was not called out by name. When he saw Lu Liangsheng walking to the thatched cottage over there, he couldn't help but take half a step, and asked:

"Master... where did you develop it?"

"Of course there are, but I can't teach you for the time being." Lu Liangsheng simply replied, went into the room and took out a book, and set up a few stone benches in the small courtyard in front of him. Except for Wang Banbiao, he asked three teenagers to come and sit down .

"Before I teach you the method in the future, I will also teach you the knowledge from these books."

Seeing the name of the book in the master's hand, compared to Qu Yuanfeng and Yu Wentuo, Li Suian grew up in a small inn and couldn't read a few words, only feeling a tingling scalp.

"Master...can you not learn..."

"No, these books not only teach you how to solve problems, but also keep you from going astray in the future. You must learn them."

Lu Liangsheng handed out sheets of cut paper to them, and the book hit the troubled boy on the head.

"I came here in the same way as a teacher back then. Since you are talented and intelligent, it shouldn't be difficult to learn. Studying is like cultivating the Tao. You have to be patient. Not to mention reading books well. Is there any secret book in this world that you can't understand?" of?"

The mountain breeze was gentle, stroking the pages of the book, and when preaching and accepting karma, the sky and the earth turned cold, and there were already dense drums of war outside.

Chapter 2 Nineteen Joyful, Human Fireworks

"Diligent people are sensitive to virtue and righteousness, and most people in the world help the poor with diligence..."

On the cliff in the sea of ​​clouds, a young man in a simple light blue robe is bathed in the sun, holding a scroll with one hand, and the curled book cover has the word "warning" written on it. When the wind blows, the old pine swayed slowly, and the withered yellow pine needles fell on the scholar's shoulders.

"...Thrifty people are indifferent to making profits, and the world pretends to be thrifty to cover up their stinginess. A gentleman holds a talisman for himself, but it is a tool for others' selfishness."

Lu Liangsheng flicked the pine needles on his shoulders with his fingertips. From the corner of his eyes, the young man sitting behind the desk propped his chin and pecked his head bit by bit. Then he stepped over the tombstone of his teacher with the hem of his robe, and tapped the book on Li Suian's head. .

"wake up!"

The young man woke up suddenly, and saw his master looking at him with a serious face. On both sides, Yu Wentuo glanced at him. Qu Yuanfeng squeezed the pen holder with a suppressed smile, and wrote the warning sentence he had just heard on the paper.

"Master...I didn't sleep well last night, that's why I fell asleep."

On the opposite side, Lu Liangsheng shook his head, carried the scroll behind his back, and walked to the thatched cottage.
