Great Sui Guoshi

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, after recollecting these words, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the other party might have misunderstood what he meant, so he quickly waved his hand and explained: "The City God misunderstood me."

"Oh?" Chenghuang let out a breath quietly, and stretched out his hand: "The real person, please tell me something else."

"Actually, I don't mean to let Li Yishu return to the sun, which is against the law of heaven, but I want to seek some blessings for him."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the city god for a while, and the book of souls held in the other party's hand, got up and walked around, glanced at the various judges and ghost messengers who were handling the official affairs of the underworld, and squeezed it in his hand.

"His body has been destroyed, and it is impossible to return the body. If another body is found, it will be disrespectful to the newly dead. Li Yishu will benefit his neighbors. The poor will not receive a penny, and the rich will not take a penny. If you don't get what you deserve, how can the common people be convinced that the city god will cut off his career, and the way of heaven is fair?"

Walking to the case table of the judge of good and evil, Lu Liangsheng stopped, looked down at the judge of good and evil who just raised his face, and asked with a smile:

"Judge, do you think what Lu Liangsheng said makes sense?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense." The judge looked sideways at Chenghuang and nodded solemnly: "Master Chenghuang, although what the real man said is simple, it is very reasonable."

The subordinates nodded in agreement, and it was also a step. The Yancheng City God got up and stroked his beard and walked around, looking at the passing pilgrims outside the hall, and nodded.

"it is good."

Turn around, make a decision, walk back to the long case step by step, and spread out the soul book.

"Since this is the case, Li Yishu's soul will not be reincarnated in the underworld for the time being. He died of injustice. He didn't die at the end of his life, or died of illness early. He should have a lifespan of 30 years. This god uses the soul-fixing technique to allow his soul to walk in the yang world without fear of the sun. , can not only be reunited with his wife and children, but also continue to practice medicine and save people to accumulate yin virtue and rich salary.

Lu Liangsheng arched his hands: "The City God is kind."

After talking about this matter, the two chatted and laughed in the hall for a while. The two servants who had gone out before had come back from the outside holding an umbrella. One of the servants held a chain in his hand and locked a figure with his hair hanging down and his expression numb. follow in.

The iron chain rattled and loosened from the figure's hands, and the man suddenly came back to consciousness. When he saw the first long case, the Yancheng City God, his soul was shaken, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly, his head kept going up and down. bump.

"Your Excellency Chenghuang, the little magistrate Chen Bingyuan pays his respects."

Looking down from the corner of the eye, I saw a chair on the side of the long case, and a scholar-like person sat on it. He was not as cold and terrifying as the errants and judges around him, and he could even feel the transmission from him. Talents have yang energy.

'This is a living person...'

Thoughts arose, before I thought about it, after listening to the long case, Chenghuang's voice came.

"Chen Bingyuan, do you know why you were struck by lightning and died?"

Chen Bingyuan came back to his senses, his body fell down again, the tip of his nose almost touched the ground, he stared at the black and cold floor tiles, and swallowed his saliva.

"I don't know, I was sitting at home, and I saw a thunderbolt break through the roof, killing me. I also ask the Lord City God to learn from it. A young man who is an official in the world can benefit the villagers."

"Hmph." Chenghuang glanced at him, lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand, the pages turned over automatically without wind, and finally stopped on a vertical line.

With a flick of the City God's fingertips, the vertical lines flew out of the paper and revealed a golden font in the air, from Chen Bingyuan's birth to today's death by lightning, it is clearly recorded, especially among the things he did with his own hands, there is a Putting needles into the head of his wife, killing her, and secretly ordering his confidants to wrong Li Yishu...

"This this....."

Chen Bingyuan looked at every line of golden characters, especially the two incidents of murdering his wife and framing the doctor, and his soul was shaking as he knelt on the ground.

"Benefiting the villagers? Hmph, I don't believe it."

Chenghuang got up and flicked his robe sleeves, and shouted to the judge: "Punish the Evil Judge, this person is handed over to you, take him down, whip him twenty times, send him to the Underworld of Mount Tai, and hand him over to the Lord!"

"Master City God! Lord City God!"

Seeing a strangely tall man wearing a tall hat and veil swaying towards him, Chen Bingyuan crawled on the ground in fright, and hugged the living person's leg on the chair on the side of the long case. If a living person can sit on top of the City God's Temple, how could it be an ordinary person.

"Mister, please, please, please ask Lord Chenghuang for me, and Chen Bingyuan will definitely pay you back!"

In an instant, lying on the ground, he tilted his head and yelled at the city god: "Chenghuang! My lord, the thunder must have been struck by a mistake. The little one shouldn't be so short-lived. The fortune teller also said that I will have a good fortune in the future, which is beyond words." ! Please check again..."

The leg he carried kicked up suddenly, and before he finished shouting, he was kicked and rolled out on the ground a few times. As soon as he propped up his upper body, Lu Liangsheng patted his shoes on the chair over there, and his tone was like a usual chatter.

"That thunder, I struck it."

Chen Bingyuan, who propped up his upper body and wanted to plead again, opened his mouth slightly, his voice was disconnected, and he looked at the scholar sitting there in a daze, and the moment he raised his fingers, his shoulders sank, and his two long, black hands pressed down. Come on, the sharp nails retracted and plunged into his soul body, emitting black smoke.

scoff~~

"Ah!!" Chen Bingyuan let out a stern scream, and was hung in the air by the bamboo pole-like servant with his shoulders stuck in the air, turning into black smoke and going underground.

In the main hall, the errands and judges were still busy, and it seemed that the scene just now had never happened.

"Really, what do you think of this treatment?"

Yancheng City God put away the law book and turned it into his sleeve, disappeared in a flash, got up and left the long case, walked across to Lu Liangsheng with a smile, stretched out his hand to invite, and walked outside the hall together.

"The City God enforces the law impartially, Lu Liangsheng is grateful."

The scholar cupped his hands to express his thanks, passed the surrounding pilgrims who were burning incense and worshiped, and stopped in the courtyard of the temple. Outside the temple gate, Li Yishu followed the two errants he had seen before in Wanhe County, drifting in one after the other, and saw the City God With Lu Liangsheng on one side, they all bowed their hands and saluted.

"I've seen the City God, I've seen a real person!"

Li Yishu didn't bind the soul chain, and his spiritual consciousness was clear. When he saw the scholar standing next to the City God, he was a little excited, and hurried forward, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yishu met Engong, thanking Engong for allowing me to stay at home for a few more days!"

"Why thank me, it's you who are kind and generous, and I just happened to meet you, get up."

Lu Liangsheng used to help him up. Regardless of his status, as long as he was a person of great kindness and virtue, he always respected him. While talking, the two servants also confessed their errands to the city god, and told about the situation in the city, especially the magistrate. He also sent a Taoist priest to harm Li Yishu's soul and said in detail, which made the city god angry, and it was sent to punish the evil judge.

"Five more whips!"

After sending away the judge, the city god will also tell Li Yishu's disposition, and then he stretches out his hand, and a ray of golden light floats into the opponent's mouth, nose, eye sockets, and ear holes, as if he has regained his body. I can feel it, but Lu Liangsheng knows that this is just a solidified soul body, not a real reshape of the physical body.

Now that the matter is over, it is time for Lu Liangsheng to leave. He still has to go to Qingcheng Mountain to explore the altar of the Nine Spirits Formation, walk out of the temple gate and go down to the stone steps. Behind him, Li Yishu ran out, knelt down suddenly, and yelled.

"Grandfather!"

There seemed to be tears in his eyes, he bent his body, and knocked his head heavily on the rock.

The sun was shining on the rows of willow trees outside. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey to caress the swept willow branches and turned his head, smiling at the corner of his mouth, waving his robe at the kneeling figure at the door.

"Go back and live a good life with your wife, and cure a few more patients!"

Holding the rein, the donkey gradually walked away with an old man in the sound of jingling bells.

Chapter 3: Green Hills, Tea Stalls, and Snakes

Towards early summer, the mountains are full of verdant greenery stroking in the warm sunshine, and the paved mountain roads along the Yanshan Mountains are covered with yellow mud.

know know know...

The cicadas all over the mountain were singing one after another, and the jingling copper bells came up from the stone road at the foot of the mountain. Among the passers-by and vendors, a young man in a white robe with cloud patterns was walking slowly, leading an old donkey with mottled hair. A blind old man followed.

It is probably guessed that some young man under the mountain brought his old servant to visit the mountains and rivers, and after only seeing it twice, he stopped looking at it.

"Master, take a rest for a while, I've been away for an hour, I'm afraid your bones won't be able to bear it."

Wang Banxia followed up and whispered something behind the donkey, wiped the sweat on his face, raised his finger and pointed to the small door of the bookshelf, and hastily added something.

"Master can't stand it either."

"You can talk." In the cubicle, Taoist Toad was wearing a short jacket, and wiped his wet face with a small juan handkerchief with his webbed fingers. The cubicle was stuffy, and considering the old donkey's body temperature, it was like a steamer inside.

Picking up the pipe and knocking on the small door, he picked up the voice and shouted: "Liangsheng, find a place to rest for a while, I am thirsty for the teacher."

Hum ang huh~~

The old donkey tilted its neck, as if mocking him, sneezed, and followed the master in front of him even more happily, with the trembling bookshelf dangling on its buttocks.

After a while, a hand reached out and patted the old donkey's head, and Lu Liangsheng, who was walking in front of him, turned his face sideways: "What kind of donkey temper, let's go!"

Afterwards, he also replied to Master's words.

"There is a tea stall in front, go over and have a bowl of herbal tea to rest your feet, so that Master can take a breather."

"Yes, yes, I see... Bah, I heard it!" Wang Banzai leaned on his toes and listened sideways. In the sound of footsteps spreading up and down the mountain road, he could hear someone yelling, and the merchants yelling for more tea. lively.

When the two of them passed by with a donkey, there happened to be a table of guests who had paid their bills. The clerk wiped the table and saw the scholar and the old man who kept the donkey. .

"Two guests, sit inside, sit inside, this stall's sour jujube herbal tea is very thirst-quenching, there are cold cakes, white meat mixed with garlic, which tastes good, and the side dishes also have green onion tofu and green bean soup, all of which relieve fatigue on the way, both of you Let’s all order a portion of Kazakhstan.”

Lu Liangsheng invited Wang Banyan to sit down, sat on one side at random, opened the bookshelf, took out the master inside, and put it on the table.

"Okay, one for each."

Over there, when he saw a big toad wearing a short hexagram coiled around the corner of the table, the waiter was stunned, while Wang Banzai gave him a slight nudge, nodding his head, stroking his beard and chuckling.

"Go to work, buddy, don't be so rare."

"Hey."

The waiter looked away, answered twice, wrote down the dishes, and told the old man who set up a stove in a corner of the stall to help pass the firewood, and said in a low voice:

"Father, you said these rich sons, it's fine to lead an old donkey and pretend to be elegant, but also bring a toad, and it doesn't look terrified. It's really weird to put clothes on it for such a big man."

"Speak up."

Behind the stove, the old man threw a bean shell and hit his son on the head, took two bowls of herbal tea and went to the scholar's table, first put Lu Liangsheng, and put the second bowl on the blind old man.

Lu Liangsheng naturally heard what the man said, afraid of disturbing the other party's business, he took the tea with a smile and said, "Old man, I am toad, do I disturb the customers in the shop?"

"Haha, the guest officer is overthinking, no, no, drink tea and eat vegetables at ease!"

The old man smiled brightly, "I've been setting up a stall here for three to forty years, and I haven't seen anything. Only the brat made a fuss and made a fuss. It's true that the guest officer doesn't mind."

Lu Liangsheng also laughed, bowed his hands to him, and turned around to the other three tables.

"Well, there are people in this world who like to walk their dogs and pick up birds, but I like toads better, so I hope you don't blame me."

Most of the guests at the three tables over there were pedestrians and traders passing by. People who have traveled all over the world are well-informed. It is not unusual to see a big toad lying on the table.

Someone laughed back and said:

"It's okay, the world is vast, and we meet in the same shed for dinner, who doesn't give it convenience? Young master, you eat yours, we eat ours, who stipulates that toads can't be served? Hahaha!"

This remark caused the people around to laugh. On the table, Taoist Toad rolled into a ball, rolled his eyes, and crawled to lie down next to the bowl to drink herbal tea.

"Oh, that toad actually rolled its eyes!" "Can it crawl to drink water by itself, son, can you sell this toad? I bought it for two hundred coins."

"...four hundred!"

"I'll give you one or two! Toad has the intention of attracting wealth, a few hundred coins, you guys have the nerve to give it away!"

The laughter in the tea shed became lively, so that Taoist Toad almost choked on water, his toad eyes puffed up, and he stared at the group of rough men, he dared to make fun of the old man...

Lu Liangsheng knew that these people were just talking about it, and they just talked about it to cheer up the atmosphere, so they dealt with it casually. The dishes over there were ready, and they brought them up one by one.

"Master, don't be angry, they are all rough men walking around outside, that's how they talk."

Taoist Toad got down on his knees and gave a vague reply with a piece of meat in his mouth.

"I know, as a teacher, how can I care about them like them."

At this time, on the other side of the stove, the old man who had time to rest wiped his hands, sat down beside him, beat his legs and looked at the people joking and wrinkling in the tea shop, his old face was wrinkled, and he started talking and laughing.

"Toad is not rare, but such a big toad is rare. If I have a 100 taels, I will buy it."

A table of guests took a sip of herbal tea, put it on the table and said with a smile:

"Old man, did you say that?"

"It's not easy for a wild animal to grow so big. It's psychic." The old man said, put his legs away and let the man, that is, his son, bring a bowl of water to drink.

"You have traveled all over the world, how can you not know this truth? The old man told you that there are spiritual things in this mountain, but it's a pity that ordinary people can't see them."

Lu Liangsheng, who was eating, stopped his chopsticks, raised his face, and smiled: "Shopkeeper, what does that spirit look like? Have you seen it?"

The guests at the three tables were also aroused by the old man. They were all wandering people, and listening to these strange things was the best way to relieve their boredom.

"Yeah, tell us about it." "What does the spirit look like? But the beast has become a spirit?"

"Could it be that she is still a beautiful woman? Haha!"

The old man drank all the cold water, got up and put the stove away, shook his head and smiled: "What beauty, that's a snake. This old man has been setting up a stall here for many years. Have you heard the strange things around?"

"Strange thing?" Someone thought for a while, then slapped the table suddenly: "When I went up the mountain, I heard from the village down the mountain that there was a big snake in the mountain, with a long body, tail at the top of the mountain, head at the foot of the mountain, and beside the river Do you want to drink water?"

"Yes! It's this snake!" The old man walked past the stove and came among several tables of people. He became interested, pinched the tip of his beard, and narrowed his eyes as if recalling.

"You don't know, they just heard that the old man saw it with his own eyes. It's as long as he said, but it's more than ten feet long. When the sun shines, ouch, the body is covered with white scales, and the person who shoots it can't open his eyes. In a flash, it's gone with a whoosh."

The breeze blew the mountain road, and the swaying light spots of the old pine fell into the teahouse. Lu Liangsheng held the tea bowl and put it to his mouth, closed his eyes and listened quietly to the old man's story.

know know know...

The sound of cicadas was disturbing, and in the tea shop, everyone was holding chopsticks and holding tea bowls, listening to the old man's story, gradually fascinated.
