Great Sui Guoshi

.....

The group did not return to the top of the mountain, so they had lunch at the foot of the mountain with a pot. Among the wild grass and rocks, the old donkey flicked its tail and gnawed at the swaying grass leaves with its neck bent down.

The sun slanted across the mountains, Taoist Toad changed into a thin short-sleeved floral dress, lay cross-legged on a rock to bask in the evening, humming and shaking his flippers.

The Taoist and Zhu Ganglian sat side by side behind the bushes, flipping the yellowed pages of the book "hehe", looking at the portrait of a woman posing vaguely on it, and sucking her saliva.

Flying birds chirped, passing mottled, amidst the wretched laughter over there, Lu Liangsheng sat under an old tree with a crooked neck, reading books with relish, and beside him, Qi You, who was leaning against him, held two stones of different colors, Facing the sun, she flipped through the pages, turning sideways from time to time to ask the scholar to help her choose which one.

"This one is fine."

Lu Liangsheng pointed to the stone on the woman's right hand, turned back, stared at the handwriting on the page, but what was in his mind was the intermittent words of the Yellow Emperor in the stone palace.

"The ancestor of the ancients created the world, it should be Pangu in the mythology... the clay figure refers to the Nuwa Empress, and the 'you' in the sentence of stealing the aura of heaven and earth...who are you?" '

Not only this sentence, but also the following sentence starting with the formation of all spirits, and the following sentence to protect the world, Lu Liangsheng probably guessed that this magic circle was set up by the Yellow Emperor to protect the world and prevent 'they' from interfering.

The soft sunlight illuminated the handsome side face, Lu Liangsheng raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the red west cloud, a few birds flew past his field of vision.

...beyond the clouds forever.

Doesn't it refer to the gods and Buddhas in the sky above the sky.

Thinking of this point in his mind, Lu Liangsheng shook his head. If so, the hidden things here are a bit too big.

'It's better to do my good deeds, and I'll talk about it later. '

He patted the Xuanyuan sword sheath hanging from his waist, closed the book, and it seemed that it was getting late, so he called his master and the Taoist over there to prepare to leave.

The sun was setting, and the red light spread on the mountain road. Zhu Ganglian did not go with him, but followed for a while. When he stopped, Lu Liangsheng dreamed of drinking and raised his hands.

"There is a difference in gathering, so let's say goodbye!"

The Taoist also nodded: "Remember to come to Qixia Mountain!"

"My old pig still needs to get a weapon. I will come to Qixia Mountain to see you when I have time later."

In the rays of the sun, Zhu Ganglian drank the wine and clapped his palms together: "Then I'll take my leave!"

"and many more!"

Sun Yingxian hurriedly called him to stop, looked at the pig demon who turned around, gritted his teeth and quickly took out the yellowed book from his arms, approached him, and stuffed it into the opponent's hand.

"I'm bored on the way, flipping through the pages to pass the time, it's less harmful than killing people!"

"Haha, my old pig is fierce, but he never kills people!"

Zhu Gang laughed loudly, put the book away and put it in his arms, watching the scholar, the Taoist leading the old donkey, and the toad sitting on the donkey's ears on the head, going away to Xiaguang.

"My old pig has taken the weapon, and will come to Qixia Mountain to visit you when I have time, but please prepare good wine and food, don't use illusion to deal with me!!"

At dusk when the shout came, Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways, reflecting the rays of the sun, and waved his hands far away to make another fat figure, and cupped his hands.

Taoist Toad tied the rope tightly, sat on the donkey's head, leaning on the two long ears, and looked back at his apprentice.

"Liangsheng, let's go!"

Over there, the scholar turned around and told the Taoist who was searching the grass on the side of the road to leave. The old donkey raised his head, swung the rein, and followed behind his master, shaking the toad on his head and swinging it back and forth.

uh huh huh--

The excited neighing, accompanied by the toad's vague whisper, echoed in the setting sun and mountains.

.......

The color of Xiyun is burning like fire, and it is different to stand in Chang'an City and watch it. On the long street spread by the sun, a carriage slowly stopped at the door of a mansion with the sound of "wow".

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the moiré footsteps got off the wheel. Yang Su, who had a black background with dark red borders, raised his head and looked at the door plaque with the word 'Yuwen' written on the door of the mansion.

Go up the stone steps and go straight into the mansion.

Chapter 295 It's Thousands of Miles Away, and My Heart Holds One Person

know know know~~

The cicadas sang among the branches in the courtyard, the evening breeze blew through the veranda, and the maid walked into the gazebo with sour plum soup to relieve the summer heat.

Amidst the sound of putting the porcelain bowl on the stone table, Yu Wentuo waved her hand holding the scroll and let her go down. Since Master visited the mansion that night, he returned to the habit of reading and nourishing nature in Qixia Mountain.

When the pages of the book were turned from the fingertips, there were footsteps trotting across the stone bridge outside the pavilion, and a servant in the front yard stood outside.

"Master, Duke Yue is here, waiting in the front yard."

Yang Su, Duke of Yue, was known to everyone in the Sui Dynasty. He was proficient in military skills. He was not only good at martial arts, but was also rumored to be proficient in spells. Yu Wentuo, who was sitting in the pavilion, knew better than anyone outside. He even knew his master well. Fellow friends.

"Well, you go down first."

Swiping away the subordinates, Yu Wentuo put down the books, tidied up his clothes, and went out of the pavilion and walked around the eaves of the waterside pavilion to the front yard. The other party made friends with the master. As a junior, you can't be rude

Soon, when they came to the front yard, Duke Yue’s subordinates were standing outside waiting. When they saw the owner of the mansion coming, they hurriedly bowed out of the way. Yu Wentuo glanced at them. These people have more blood than mana, and they should know some heresy spells Jianghu master.

Withdrawing his gaze and stepping into the hall door, Yu Wentuo squeezed out a cold smile on his face, and arched his hands towards the figure sitting on the left seat drinking tea.

"Yu Wentuo, a survivor of the former dynasty, has met Duke Yue."

"Ha ha!"

Over there, Yang Su put down the tea and got up to greet him. Although he was a guest, he instinctively took the initiative, stretched out his hand to invite him, and walked back to the top with Yu Wentuo who entered.

"Doctor Yuwen don't think the old man is strong, come, sit down and talk."

The two sat down and said a few words of courtesy, the maidservant came over and served some tea and left, Yu Wentuo took a sip of the tea, seeing Yang Su in normal clothes, he couldn't help asking:

"The Duke of Yue didn't know he came to the mansion to seek extension, what's the matter?"

"Just come to visit."

Seeing Yuwentuo's expression slightly stunned, Yang Su put down his cup and explained with a smile.

"Yuwen's family has been greatly contributed by Sui, and you are a disciple of my friend's friend. It's time to come and have a look. After all, I feel a little ashamed for coming here at this time."

The somewhat hypocritical tone made Yu Wentuo, who was seated at the top, feel a little uncomfortable. The Duke of Yue in his eyes was like a poisonous snake entrenched there, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue.

"But speaking of it, your master, Lu Liangsheng, came to Chang'an City a few days ago to ask about you and Qu Yuanfeng, have you seen him?"

Yu Wentuo nodded respectfully.

"I have already added a tutor."

"Yeah." Yang Su raised his chin slightly, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now, Fellow Daoist Lu has been ordered by His Majesty to become a real person, and he may enter the court in the future. Doctor Yuwen belongs to the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now he is also an official of the Sui Dynasty. , Have you ever thought about being a minister with your master in the future?"

The maids and servants in the hall have long been kicked out by the steward, and the door is closed at an unknown time. Yu Wentuo closed his eyes and listened to the words of the Duke of Yue. The next night, the master will come to have a long talk with him in the gazebo. In fact, he has already said this .

Then he opened his eyes, looked at Yang Su, raised his hand and arched.

"Tuo, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I also thank the Duke of Yue for his support. I am naturally willing to become an official in the court."

"it is good!"

Yang Su slapped the table, with an approving smile on his face: "This is the descendant of the Yuwen family. If you become an official in the court, you can calm the hearts of your clan and make the Sui Dynasty stable. Besides, you will learn from Lu Yu. Liangsheng, your spell cultivation is not bad, it just so happens that this old man got a sword by accident, and I give it to you, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Yang Su beckoned the people waiting outside to come in, Yu Wentuo, who was sitting first, got up suddenly, and interrupted with cupped hands: "Mr. Rely on Duke Yue."

Over there, Yang Su lowered his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked at the young man, his robe fluttering slightly.

After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing, sat back and slammed the table, and said something repeatedly.

"it is good!"

In the hall, it immediately became quiet. The age difference between the two was too large, and there was a gap between them. After a while without saying a word, Yang Su got up and left.

I thought that with the approval of Lu Liangsheng, I went to win over and gave the other party a magical sword that I hadn’t inadvertently obtained. I thought that I could stand on my side and stand behind the second prince Yang Guang by the way. Unfortunately, Yu Wentuo, who was reincarnated from this magical weapon, was actually taken by the book. The idea is to wash away the oil and salt.

This annoyed Yang Su not only about the position, but also about the Turkic people on the northern border.

A few days ago, the elder brother Yang Jian was disturbed by this border, he lost his temper and overthrew all the imperial cases, frightening the officials of the lower provinces to kneel outside the hall for a long time.

Walking out of Yuwen Mansion, Yang Su got into the carriage, opened the curtain and watched the once glorious gate of the mansion slowly move back in the field of vision, and beyond the corner of the eaves, the red glow of the sun entered the curtain and fell on his face.

'I'm afraid there will be war next year. '

Now he is getting old, even if he is a cultivator, he can prolong his life at most, but the great Sui Dynasty has just been defeated, and he has not seen enough.

Originally, my elder brother and I worried that the talents of the Great Sui Dynasty would wither in the future and cultivate a person who could last for several dynasties. Unfortunately, things changed midway.

Right now, this person has finally returned to Chang'an, and the plan that was shelved is restarted, but the other party is going to step up step by step.

'well.....'

Yang Su looked at the burning Xiyun and sighed: "What kind of medicine did Lu Liangsheng give you?"

But fortunately, he is still in Chang'an and intends to enter the court, so he thinks there is still a chance.

The carriage drove through the bustling long street, and outside Chang'an City at this moment, an old donkey was running wildly with its hooves on its hooves.

In the last ray of Xiyun’s blooming light, the bookshelves rattled on both sides of the undulating donkey buttocks, and in the cubicle of the toad man wearing a long gown printed with precious money, the biwebs and feet were stretched out and tense. Standing against the sides to stabilize his figure, he yelled vigorously at the small door that was slightly opened while shaking.

"Slow down! Slow down! The old man is a little dizzy and can't hold it anymore, croak—"

The roaring sound was covered by the sound of hooves and the sound of bookshelves. Lu Liangsheng was riding on the donkey's back, and the Taoist squatted behind him, covering his head with his hat, his mustache swaying in the wind.

"I really want to hear the voice of the old toad!!"

Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways and shouted, "What?"

The words exited in an instant and turned into whimpering whimpers. Ever since the old donkey turned into a lin, his speed was unmatched in the world. The majestic giant city in the distance disappeared into the sky.

As the night fell, as time passed, the sky and the earth became white again, crossing the long river sparkling in the morning light, crossing the capital city that used to be in the south, and heading to the mountains further south.

The morning light rises above the clouds, and the mountain wind hums. The business travelers who get up early stop their carts and go to the temple on the hillside outside Lujia Village to burn incense. Or buy some, and sincerely bow to your companions, and you will inevitably feel a lot of emotion when you go back.

"The incense here is getting more and more popular. I don't think there will be so many people when I came here for the first time."

"That's right, they are all business travelers traveling from south to north, and people from nearby villages come here. Now I heard that rich people from Fushui County not far away often come here by horse-drawn carriage."

"Hey, you don't know about this. This temple has a lot of history. It was built by Lu Lang in Qixia Mountain. Although I don't know who is enshrined there, there must be a lot of articles. Not long ago, some people were dazzled. The clay sculptures in the temple come alive."

"Ouch, is it true? So scary!"

"Why do you care so much? Anyway, since I worshiped this temple, my business has been going smoothly. I just bought a house yesterday..."

The sun is warm, walking through the stone steps in the middle of the neat lawn, the gate of the temple behind the few people, among the people coming and going to burn incense and worship, a woman in a gorgeous bright red dress stands tall and graceful, with a faint smile on her mouth, Watching every pilgrim who passed by her.

Now she can make clay sculptures to move around, and she can also pass some good luck to pilgrims.

When she was able to come out, the first person she wanted to tell was that she was not in Qixia Mountain, and she felt a little lost. When she returned to the temple, she was no longer afraid of the sun, so she stayed at the door most of the day, and sometimes saw Lu When Xiaoxian or Li Jinhua come over, they will also show their figure and chat with each other. Often at this time, they will choose a remote place with few people. After all, the clay sculpture is almost the same as her appearance. It is to scare people to death.

The morning breeze was blowing slowly, and the smell of sandalwood was blowing in. Nie Honglian's eyes were a little blurred and she looked at the golden area outside the eaves. At the end of the stone steps where the light spread, a figure crossed with people. The woman at the door trembled slightly and clenched her fingers tightly. .

jingle jingle~~

The familiar sound of copper bells came, and the pilgrims staggered past revealed a scholar in blue and white robes, leading an old donkey and walking towards him, and saw a slim woman at the door wagging her fingers.

Lu Liangsheng let go of the rein and laughed.

"Hong Lian, I'm back."

At the door, the warm sunlight shone on the woman's pretty face. Looking at the scholar standing outside, she pursed her lips and dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Sweetly followed suit with a smile, far away.

"Hong Lian, I have seen you, Young Master."

The crowd was surging, passing by the two of them.

Chapter 296 The Blessing of Family Peace of Mind

The green leaves all over the mountain are undulating and spreading in the wind, and in the sunshine rising to the clouds, the old donkey is shaking the bell and gnawing on the grass on the ground. On the bookshelf behind the buttocks, and the small open door, Taoist Toad is lying at the door, his eyes are turned white, and he is yelling loudly. pant.

On the road ahead, Lu Liangsheng and Nie Honglian walked through the grass, and occasionally looked back at the old donkey and the master. The scholar told her what he had seen and heard during the journey.

"First, I went to visit Mr. Zhou. He is getting old... His daughter also got married two years ago, and she had a little problem with her body. She was almost sick and couldn't get out of bed."

"The concubine knows about him. Young Master Qiu Wei lived in his house before. It's been so long that I can't think of it."

Nie Honglian thought about the past of the Zhou Mansion, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her hand to cover it up.

"Remember, Mr. Zhou's daughter's name is Zhou Rong..."
