Great Sui Guoshi

Among the eight people who were sleeping soundly, someone woke up from the cold. Lu Qing rubbed his eyes and sat up. Seeing the erratic figure, his face turned pale with fright.

"Old Pan, that ghost is here!"

Lu Pan woke up from being scratched by him, propped up half of his body, and squinted to look in the direction he was pointing.

"What the hell is coming... Ouch!"

The words changed abruptly, and he closed it quickly, slammed back hard, and closed his eyes: "Don't look, go to sleep."

"Where can I sleep, will she suck our yang energy?"

"Ghost knows!"

Lu Pan felt something floating over his head, his eyes were closed tightly in fright, he pinched Lu Qing's face with his hands, and forced it away.

"Old Pan, you bastard." Lu Qing was willing to show his weakness, and was also good at breaking him.

However, a faint sense of tiredness hit them, and the two of them moved a few times before falling asleep.

The mist caused by the turbulence stopped, and the beautiful figure in the middle slowly landed, without any sound, bowed gracefully towards Lu Liangsheng who was sleeping soundly over there.

"...Concubine Nie Honglian, thank you for your help."

Chapter 25 Bookish

"gentlemen….."

"gentlemen….."

The faint and ethereal female voice was like a gust of cold wind blowing past Lu Liangsheng's ears, his lips pursed, before the boy woke up, the toad lying beside him opened one eye first.

"What a brave female ghost, dare to chase the old man here!"

Qianying, who was bowing from a distance, raised her head when she heard this sound, and said: "Mr. atonement, my concubine is just..." Then she stopped, blinked her eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, and looked at the standing up. short figure.

"Can toads talk too?"

Realizing that she said something wrong, the female ghost who claimed to be Nie Honglian pointed to the sleeping boy over there, "I thank him..."

Toad Taoist: "..."

... This embarrasses the old man, bah bah... It's just a female ghost, how come I'm at a disadvantage.

Thinking about it, he put his fins behind his back, coughed twice, and looked serious: "Young man is no more than a disciple of the old man, so I have something to do with you looking for him."

"My concubine's great revenge has been avenged, so I'm here to thank you." The female ghost Hong Lian, with beautiful eyebrows like daisy, spoke in a gentle and pleasant voice, and then bowed down to the young man.

Over there, Lu Liangsheng, who had been sleepy for a long time, vaguely heard the words, turned over, and there was a crackling sound, and the low chants of "Sinister..." stopped abruptly.

The boy waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't be noisy...Call me again at dawn."

Hong Lian glanced at the boy who was still awake, and the tongue-stuck toad under him, covered his mouth and chuckled, and slowly got up to leave, but after taking a few steps, he sighed softly.

There are no relatives in the world again... Where should I go...

When the female ghost floated past the easel, she stopped suddenly, and saw the portrait with long sleeves waving on it, and the word "red pity" on the lower left, and looked at Lu Liangsheng who was sleeping soundly for a long time, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

The long sleeves were turned upside down, turned around and got into the painting.

The originally hazy portrait, with light ink and ink handwriting, became a bit more solidified and vivid, and the flickering flames were extinguished when the wind blew over.

Curly green smoke billowed up and the sky was bright. Lu Liangsheng got up from the ground and stretched himself.

"Strange, last night it felt like someone was calling me..."

He twisted his neck, grabbed Taoist Toad who was still asleep on the ground, and stuffed it into the package. The eight people sleeping around the extinguished campfire woke up one after another, and the quiet open space became noisy.

One of them saw the scroll over there and called others: "This is painted by Liang Sheng. The people on it seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Don't say it, the painting is beautiful, just like a real person."

Lu Pan and Lu Qing walked over, their faces turned pale suddenly, remembering what happened last night, hesitating whether to tell their eldest nephew, but seeing the portraits placed there, it was as if they had seen a ghost.

Gu Pan's beautiful eyes seemed to be staring at the two of them, he was so frightened that he swallowed the words forcefully, and changed his words: "Well... it's dawn, let's hurry."

Lu Liangsheng poured the water in the water bag and washed his face, came over and put away the painting scroll, tied it up, and carried it on his back.

"I was just about to tell everyone to hurry up."

It doesn't matter whether you eat breakfast or not. During this period of practice, your physique is stronger than ordinary people, and you can naturally endure hunger. As for Lu Pan, the eight big men can handle it with some dry food and cold water on the road.

The return trip was such a long day, enough for a group of people to return to Lujia Village. On the way, they passed through the mountain forest where they slept in the open, and they could still see the collapsed thatched hut on the mountainside from a distance. Now when they arrive, they still have lingering fears when they think of the big centipede.

They drove the piglets, lambs, and donkey carts without stopping to leave the forest in a hurry.

In the fields outside Lujia Village, the farmers and village women who were busy with the autumn harvest piled up the hard work of the past six months, looking at the full millet, but there was worry on their faces.

"I don't know if Lu Pan and the others have settled the matter."

"...Well, if it is not resolved, they will be distributed to the people of Beicun. Thinking about it, I feel panicked."

The village man from the other mu field also came over, leaning on a hoe, and kicked away a stone: "So what, the government can still put a knife on my neck?"

These days, most of the discussions in the village were about the lawsuit with Beicun. They gathered together and chatted when they had nothing to do. In the midst of aggrieved, the three people on the field ridge could vaguely hear the sound of the wheels creaking and turning.

Looking back, at the end of the dirt road, three wagons piled full of things were approaching, and a tall man named Lu Qing was running fast in front, waving and shouting at the people in the fields on both sides.

"Don't do it, go back to the village to get something—"

With a loud cry, the quiet mountain village became lively, and more than 30 families flocked to the entrance of the village. Even the elderly with limited mobility at home came to join in the fun with crutches.

The most prestigious Taigong Lu stood on top of the stone mill in the village, carefully waved the pear-blossom stick that Lu Liangsheng gave him, and asked each household to send someone out to collect cloth and rice in turn.

He also told everyone about the decision made by the county government. At first, everyone was still reluctant, and there was a fight. After Liangsheng came up and explained the whole story clearly, the anger was calmed down.

"I used some of the 500 taels to buy things, and the rest, I went to the county to buy some clothes, grain and meat before the Chinese New Year. Next year, I will get a few pigs and sheep for each household to raise. Wouldn't it be better? Why? Why care about the gains and losses of a little food..."

Probably in such words, everyone reluctantly divided up the autumn harvest and gathered them together, and handed them over to each other when the people from Beicun came over.

Of course, the purchase of many good things in Lujia Village is kept secret, and everyone understands the principle of not revealing the money. As for how the money came from, it doesn’t really matter at all. Just amazing.

In the past few days after the distribution of things, Lujia Village is just like the New Year. The older daughter-in-law and the younger daughter-in-law sit at the door of their own house, cutting cloth to make clothes for the family. Occasionally, the smell of rice and cooked meat wafts from some homes. The villagers salivated.

Of course, some families are reluctant to eat it, so they make wind-dried meat and hang it on the wooden beam of the stove. If they are really hungry, they cut some off.

Even Lu Erlai, who had never been welcomed by the villagers, was given some meat and a tael of silver. Originally, Li Jinhua refused, but he couldn't stand Lu Liangsheng's persuasion.

"He is not liked by others, but he is from the same village, and he is not an enemy. If you don't give him something, and then go outside and talk about it, it will be bad if you piss off jealous people and confuse your brains. "

Li Jinhua crossed her waist and poohed outside the courtyard.

"Fuck him, Lu Erlai."

Back in the courtyard, seeing Lu Liangsheng taking out the Four Treasures of the Study one by one, his eyes widened.

"How much does it cost? Buying all these things that can't fill your stomach is really a virtue like your father, prodigal!"

Lu Laoshi, who was weaving baskets under the eaves, raised his head, looked at his old wife, and laughed: "You mentioned what I do, and I am not a loser."

"Not yet defeated?! When Liang Sheng came back, those three donkeys were given away for nothing!"

"That's what Liang Sheng asked me to send."

The woman turned her eyes and stared at the door of the room over there. Lu Liangsheng turned his face and laughed along with his father.

"Mother, don't we still have an old donkey?"

'Ah ah ah ah! ! 'Under the awning, the old curly-haired donkey parted its lips and neighed heavily, as if reminding Li Jinhua.

"Sooner or later, I will be pissed to death by you two!" The woman paused with the broom, and swept it away vigorously on the ground. A group of toads lying on the ground were swept away, and Lu Xiaoxian over there was frightened. Shouting, the flower hen twisted its neck, spread its wings and rushed forward.

"Old man... I didn't recruit anyone, I didn't provoke anyone..."

One toad and one chicken fight together again, continuing the unfinished battle before.

……

In Lu Liangsheng's room, the Four Treasures of the Study were placed neatly on the desk, and the scroll in his hand was slowly lowered on the wall, revealing a portrait of a woman.

The books are piled up, the brushes are pressed against the inkstones, and the scrolls of beauties are hung on the wall. Finally, there is a sense of the fragrance of books.

Chapter 26 Raise rice to nourish grace, fight rice to nourish hatred

The morning light pierced through the gaps in the clouds and filled the mountain village. In the vegetable garden with the fence in the small farmyard, the sunflowers turned towards the sun, and the dewdrops dripped from the tip of the leaves. Swallow it down.

The gray hen was pawing the ground, and Lu Xiaoxian walked into the shed with a pile of hay. Soon, Li Jinhua yelled at him from the kitchen, and Lu Laoshi sat at the door in a dignified manner, weaving baskets.

The door of the room not far away opened, Lu Liangsheng walked out of the room, fetched a basin of clean water in the bucket to wash, although the outside was nice, but he always felt that he was living comfortably at home. He has a lot of opinions than before, especially the matter of the Red Pity female ghost, which made him understand the dangers of the world.

If I experience it again, I will still choose to help the other party.

After breakfast, Lu Liangsheng went back to the house, took the book "Qing Huai Bu Meng", took the pen, ink and paper, walked to the fenced vegetable garden as usual, took the master, put it on his shoulder, and it was Go out to the river.

After having some ideas, Lu Liangsheng found some things to do for the time being. If the people in the village are in trouble, he should help them more. "Nan Shui Supplements" is a spell that harms and punishes people, and the other "Qing Huai Men Meng" is It records things related to talismans, and there are dozens of them about helping others.

As for the improvement of his cultivation base, he is still in the small realm of practicing qi and opening alchemy, mainly because Daoist Hama told him not to continue practicing.

Otherwise, at this time, you should be able to practice Qi, right?

Walking through the village, the villagers who got up early to do farm work in the village greeted him one after another. Since returning from Fushui County, Lu Pan and the eight of them told him about the experience of ghosts and centipedes, which caused quite a stir.

"You don't know, that centipede stands taller than our house!"

"...The centipede is so sharp, it can stab a bloody hole."

"Also, there is a lot of background for the ghost that caused Yuanwai's family trouble, but speaking of it, that female ghost is too miserable. I almost cried as an old man... That Yuanwai's son is Damn it!"

On the night of their return, the eight of them had a fire at the entrance of the village, and told about what they had seen in the world with pride. The villagers who heard it were stunned and couldn't close their mouths, especially when they knew that the head of the county government , and also sent three books to Lu Liangsheng, that would be a big deal, the eyes of young people have become different these days.

The gods and ghosts just listen to it. There is a scholar in the village, and it’s a matter of good looks. If outsiders don’t believe it, the villagers raise their chins and say: "Don’t believe it? Sometimes they lead an old donkey and lie on their shoulders. Toad's young man is Lu Lang from our village, he often hangs around the river and fields, if you don't understand anything, ask for advice, and I will give you the answer."

"Since you are a scholar, what are you doing outside?"

"I don't know, that's for scholars, but I always see Liangsheng throwing stones into the water, and I don't know what to do."

"..."

The river outside the village.

Lu Liangsheng squatted on the bank of the river and looked at the slowly flowing river. He pinched his fingers and lifted it upwards. A stone on the bank flew into the water with a bang, splashing a splash.

"Cultivation is still too low..."

Shaking his head, he buried his head and continued to look at the book in his hand, "Master, if this magic circle gives the river water an aura, will it make all the fish, shrimp and crabs in the river become fine?"

"Becoming refined? It's not that easy." Toad opened his mouth, breathing in the fresh morning air, as if he was practicing the method of breathing, and said casually: "The formulas in that book are all small tricks, which can make the water quality better. Well, the fish and shrimp are much bigger, and the meat quality is also good."

Lu Liangsheng stopped flipping his fingers, wrote down the above content, and turned his head to look at Toad.

"What about irrigating crops?"

"Nature is also good." Toad rolled his eyes, swallowed the mosquitoes flying by with his long red tongue, and licked his mouth: "By the way, I told you last time as a teacher, there is another practice formula .”

"Ok?"

"It should be quite rare..."The Righteous Way of the Universe""

"Master, you really know a lot."

"Hehe, that is."

Taoist Toad rolled his eyes, and turned his toad face elsewhere... The original owner of the formula was swallowed by the old man, and everything became the old man's, so don't you know too much?

"Come here with your ear, memorize the formula well, and practice it accordingly in the future, it is quite suitable for your temperament."

The formula is a bit long, very different from what Toad taught before, and it is boring and difficult to understand. Fortunately, Lu Liangsheng has a good memory, and he wrote it down on paper while reciting it.

"Practice at noon every day... Well, I wrote it down."

Putting the last stone into the water, it was almost noon, and after patting the dust, he led the master back. The section of the river that he walked, every twenty feet, there was a circle of stones piled up on the bottom of the river , is what Lu Liangsheng has been busy with for half a month, and if he goes on, he will go to Beicun.

In the afternoon, it is still necessary to go there.

Back at the entrance of the village, I heard someone shouting and shouting from a distance.

"Lu Erlai, you really don't change your mind, you started stealing again!"

"...This bastard, he's the one who wants to hit my family after he's done his share."
