Great Sui Guoshi

"Don't call me Lu Lang, it sounds a bit awkward."

Nie Honglian waved her sleeves and covered her mouth with a chuckle, and floated closer: "Then I'll call you son, I never thought you'd be so old, and I've always called you Mr...."

"I'm one year younger than you...it's up to you."

The old donkey went down the mountain road, and finally stabilized for a while, the dark clouds drifted away, revealing a cold crescent moon, and the ground overgrown with weeds and buried in troubled times seemed to be covered with silver frost.

Lu Liangsheng tried to mobilize his mana, but what he heard was the pain of meridian pulling like exhaustion, and he couldn't feel the existence of mana in his body, just like an empty pottery urn.

Give up urging the old donkey to shrink the ground into an inch talisman, and continue to lie on the ground in a compromise. It will probably not be long before he can return to Lujiacun.

The moonlight illuminated the surroundings, Lu Liangsheng stared at Qingli's side face, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I heard from my master before that if you... kill people again, you will become a Raksha ghost... Now you... really Will never be reborn?"

Nie Honglian lowered her face, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's okay..."

He raised his face again, as if sucking his nose, and smiled a nice smile.

"...Maybe God thinks the slave family is doing the right thing?"

"I hope so... I just feel that... if you can't be reincarnated and become a human being again, God is really unfair to you..." Lu Liangsheng held on, staggered up his body, his consciousness became dim again, and he lay back on the donkey's back , looking at Hong Lian: "...I can't stand it..."

Nie Honglian floated over, Su Bai's arm stretched out, caressing his back.

"I can't stand it... Then let the servants keep it and attach it to the painting. It's also very good... If you add some birds and trees on it, it will be even better."

Lu Liangsheng laughed and nodded: "Okay, I'll draw for you when I get back."

"Hey, you agreed." Hong Lian's figure dropped a little, and she was on the same level as the boy, her little finger raised up: "Lagou, no matter what happens in the future, don't drive me away!"

Over there, Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand, hooking his little finger with her, it was cold and soft.

"It's a word."

At this moment, Nie Honglian withdrew her hand, looked ahead, and said, "Someone is coming."

Lu Liangsheng turned his head, looked ahead, far away, in the darkness, there were more than a dozen torches rushing towards this side scatteredly, and human voices were talking inside.

"There is my father's voice... and Uncle Pan..."

Sure enough, when the two sides approached, there were more than 20 figures running over there, and people from Beicun were inside. When they saw the old donkey and Lu Liangsheng on the donkey's back, they also saw floating female ghosts. His face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to approach him. Lu Laoshi put down his hoe and called softly, "Liangsheng?"

"Father...and everyone, don't be afraid, this is Hong Lian, Uncle Pan should have seen it before..."

In the crowd, Lu Pan, who had one arm bandaged, kept nodding. He had not only seen it once, even if he saw it before him again, ghosts are too frightening for ordinary people, let alone other villagers.

The young man probably understood that a group of them came here, probably because they heard that he had gone to the bandits, and they were worried, so they came here with a hoe and hatchet.

After thinking about it, Lu Liangsheng struggled to straighten up and wanted to get down, but after all his body was weak and he fell unsteadily. Lu Laoshi, who was a few steps away, didn't care whether the female ghost in front of him was scary or not, and hugged his son.

"Come on Dad's back, Dad will take you back."

Lu Liangsheng leaned on his generous back and told Lu Laoshi not to leave in a hurry. He looked at Lu Pan and the others, and said weakly: "Uncle Pan... the bandits are already empty, and all our things are inside... ...You take someone to get it back...there should be others...take them all back..."

"Hey!" Lu Pan nodded, eager to leave quickly, walked a few steps, then fell back: "That... good student, Uncle Pan has never been there... I don't know the way."

"I'll take you there."

Nie Honglian, who was floating, saw that the young man was safe and someone was carrying him back, so she was naturally relieved. She turned her head and said something to Lu Pan and the others. With a flick of her long sleeves, she turned and walked towards the way she came.

Lu Liangsheng, who was on his father's back, went back after explaining, his consciousness relaxed, and gradually sank. Lu Pan, Lu Qing and others looked at each other, said goodbye to Lu Laoshi, stomped their feet, and gritted their teeth to follow.

In the dark forest, there are occasional wild foxes screaming, and the footsteps of a dozen people are rustling on the mountain road. They are not afraid of the gloomy atmosphere in the forest. After all, there is a real ghost on the head, and it even guides them. , I am afraid that if you say it, it is enough to brag for a lifetime.

Soon, along the fork of the mountain road, he turned into Yixiantian and entered the valley. He was still shocked when he saw the corpses all over the place.

The bandit's death was not so bloody, almost all his yang energy was drained, his face was distorted, and his limbs were weird, but it still made Lu Pan and others feel cold all over.

This female ghost is so powerful... Fortunately, Liangsheng can hold her back.

But after entering the stronghold, Liu Erlong and other bandit leaders died on the ground, which made them gasp. Several corpses were hung on the beams, folded like twisted flowers, swaying swinging.

"Don't look, go in and search!"

Enduring the discomfort, Lu Pan greeted the villagers who came with him and Chen Tai from Beicun. The latter reacted tremblingly and ran into the back hall or upstairs to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

After that, the feeling of fear gradually eased, and one by one with blushing faces came out holding the scrapped things. Except for the property and food that had been robbed before, all the valuable things stored in the cottage were carried into the hall by everyone.

Lu Pan pried open three large wooden boxes, and the light of the torches reflected pieces of snow-white. There was a sound of "hissing" in the hall. The two large boxes were neatly stacked with three layers of silver ingots, and there were a few pieces in them. The gold is quite conspicuous, and the other wooden box is full of fine silk, fur, and some jewelry.

"This... this fucking developed!"

Nie Honglian, who was floating in the hall, stared at him, and everyone suppressed their ecstasy, ran out of the wooden building one after another, found the cart in the village, and lifted the three large boxes up together. The clothes of the dead bandits were also stripped, and the bits and pieces of copper coins and silver were not put into his pockets.

Lu Pan swung Liu Erlong's steel knife twice, and looked at the twisted corpse with some pity, the cloak and leather armor on the opponent's body could not be worn.

"What kind of books are these? Leave them all behind, and go back to Liangsheng." Lu Pan walked out of the village building, stepped on a book bound with yellow thread, patted the footprints on it, walked into the queue, and threw it to the cart , piled up with other belongings.

Then, he waved his hand: "Go back!"

A group of people took care of the property and went down the mountain excitedly.

The fire covered the forest, and the village building fell into silence again. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. In the pitch-black color, the ground bulged, and came towards this side at high speed, and a person came out in front of the village building.

It was the little Taoist priest Sun Yingxian who left, patted the dust on his head, and stepped into the hall quickly.

"I walked in a hurry, I forgot to count the things these bandits returned to me... Where is the Taoism book that Master gave me?"

While muttering, he rummaged around, only to find out when he got upstairs that the place had been searched by someone, and almost all the valuable things were gone.

"I'm waiting for my mother... This is a terrible situation, can't it be taken away by that person just now?"

After searching around, and hurried downstairs, a series of horseshoes sounded suddenly outside the gate of the village. Sun Yingxian stopped, looked sideways, and heard a 'wow'.

On the horseback, the figure with two knives in his back happened to look over, met the Taoist's eyes, and then... was a corpse on the ground.

"Okay you monster!!"

The sound of violent drinking sounded for a moment, and the blade of 'Qiang' came out of its sheath, and that figure jumped off the horse's back, pulling out a cold light in Sun Yingxian's vision.

"I didn't kill it!"

The Taoist hurriedly dodged, the wooden pillars under the eaves were cut open, the sawdust flew, the entire eaves collapsed in an instant, the tiles crashed down, and a cloud of smoke and dust was raised.

There are more than a dozen figures on horseback rushing forward one after another, holding torches and drawing their swords and dismounting one after another.

Sun Yingxian kept dodging the extremely fast blade and waved his hands again and again: "It's really not me!!!"

Seeing being surrounded, he had no choice but to resort to escapism, burrowed into the ground, and fled towards the distance at high speed. The surrounding figures were surrounded by flames, illuminating the surroundings, and reflected the word "catch" on the government clothes on the chest.

These people are the arresters who came from Fushui County non-stop. Before the gatekeepers in the city reported that there were people who used magic spells, Zuo Zhengyang led the people to ask the county magistrate for instructions and started chasing and interrogating along the road. Wanting to go back to the city, he ran into Li Zheng who was in a hurry to go to the county seat, saying that bandits had attacked Lujia Village.

As the head catcher, Zuo Zhengyang naturally knew the details of the bandits in this area. Since he hadn't found the target, he still had to do the job of reassuring the people, so he directly killed them, just in time for the scene just now.

Seeing the Taoist who had disappeared into the darkness, Zuo Zhengyang gritted his teeth, inserted his weapon back, and got on his horse.

"It depends on how fast he runs with the escape technique, or my horse runs fast!"

Reining in the reins, looking back at the arresting officers on the horse, he waved his hands and yelled, "Follow me!"

The horse rushed out first.

"drive!!"

More than a dozen arresters flicked their reins and followed closely behind.

Chapter 35 Habitat

The autumn night wind blows across the foothills, and the distant mountains only have a gloomy outline on the horizon. In the dark forest, there are rustling... rustling leaves.

A group of protruding small bags stretched forward quickly against the thick fallen leaves on the ground. The horse's hooves galloped behind and passed the gap between two trees. The figure above jumped up and flew forward. , a big tree nearby was shaken by the earthquake.

"Yaodao, let's see where you are going!"

At the same time as the violent shouting sounded in the forest, the figure going to the front fell, and a thin knife in his hand sank into the ground. Zuo Zhengyang twisted his wrist, changed the direction of the front, and pulled out a knife towards the raised ground. Sediment, sand and fine stones splashed left and right.

On the cut ground, the cracks spread rapidly.

Bang!

Ahead, the dirt bag exploded, and a figure broke through the ground and jumped directly to the branch above. Sun Yingxian hung down with a disheveled face, looking at the head catcher.

"I'm chasing after you... I really haven't killed anyone."

Zuo Zhengyang waved the thin knife in his hand, slightly lowered it to the ground, and said sharply: "Since you haven't killed him, then you will be arrested when you come down, and follow me back to the Yamen."

"I say you... Bah!" The Taoist dropped the branches with his hands and shook them twice: "I have never killed anyone before, so why did I go to the Yamen with you? If I did, wouldn't I really become a murderer? !"

A yellowing dead leaf floated down from the swaying branch, and the moment it fell to the ground, Zuo Zhengyang's voice also rang.

"Whether to kill or not is up to the county lord to decide!"

In an instant, he stepped forward, and within a few steps, the entire figure turned into an afterimage, and his steps flew, colliding with the Taoist under the branch. Sun Yingxian let go, his body fell, and he pushed out with a palm.

The blade split the branches, the cold light tore through the air, countless leaves fluttered like butterflies, but then the Taoist pushed out with a palm, it was a loud bang.

The invisible energy in the air shook away, and the robes on Zuo Zhengyang's body rippled.

However, the Taoist's palm was imprinted on the tree, and he directly pushed his body back, dodging the falling blade, turned around in mid-air and circled twice, before landing, he turned his head and raised his chin proudly.

"If I were the murderer, you would be dead by now."

Zuo Zhengyang landed on the ground with his hind feet, the slender blade cut across the air, and trembled softly, "I'm afraid you won't be much better."

In the air over there, there was a hiss, the sound of cloth being torn.

Sun Yingxian looked down at his chest, his eyelids twitched, there was a knife cut half a foot long on his chest, if the other party made a fatal attack, he would probably be cold right now.

He quickly raised his hand and waved it: "Then let's treat it as a tie between the two of us!"

Then arched: "Farewell!"

Using the escape technique again, he drilled into the ground, arched the soil and fallen leaves, disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye, and went to a distant place.

Watching the other party leave, Zuo Zhengyang didn't continue chasing him. He turned his head to look at the big tree whose top had been chopped off, and the five fingers of the Taoist's palm were clearly imprinted on it.

"It's really not this person..." He frowned slightly, put the knife back into the sheath, found the horse and turned over, and looked at the arresters under his command who were chasing up.

"Follow me to the cottage again."

After saying that, he led the people back on the original road. At this time, the eastern sky gradually turned pale, the first ray of morning light in late autumn cast a gap in the clouds, and the village in the distance resounded with the crowing of chickens and the noisy and boiling voices of people.

The golden morning light shone on the eyelids, and they were red in color. After slowly waking up from the lethargy, Lu Liangsheng smelled a smell of medicine.

The tearing pain came from his body, which made him unable to stand up. He opened his eyes and saw his mother sitting on the eaves outside the door, watching the fire. There was the sound of boiling medicine, and he tilted his head to see his elder brother who was also looking at him on the bed, and exclaimed in surprise: "Mother, brother is awake."

The woman got up quickly and walked into the house.

Lu Liangsheng still struggled a little, and was leaned against the head of the bed by his mother. The scholar's robe on him had already been changed.

"do not move."

Li Jinhua gave a warning, then turned her head and called to the little girl at the door: "Xiaoxian, quickly pour me a bowl of warm water."

The little girl outside the door nodded, and quickly ran to the stove. When warm water was poured over, the woman also poured the medicine into a bowl, held it in her hand and shook it gently to make it cool faster.

He just sat by the bed in silence, without speaking.

Lu Liangsheng looked at his mother, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Mom, I actually..."

"Mother knows." Li Jinhua blew on the heat rising from the soup, "You were born by me, what else do I not know? I have never seen you learn Chinese characters, why did you know it all of a sudden? And that Lu Erlai , Steal our chickens during the day, and the chickens will grow feathers the next day, if the gods are so spiritual, there will be no suffering people in this world."

Lu Liangsheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "So Mother already knew... I thought I hid it well."

"What a shit."

Li Jinhua poked her son's head with her finger, and said with a smile, "Only your honest father will believe it."

"hey-hey."

"Still laughing, you look like this, how can you laugh? Listen to Uncle Pan and the others come back and say that the bandits are all dead? You killed it, or..."

The woman glanced at the picture scroll on the wall, and Lu Liangsheng also looked at it. The picture of the beauties on the painting actually blinked to this side, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.

No matter how aggressive and smart Li Jinhua is, she still has taboos about such things.

"Mother put the medicine here for you."

After speaking, he quickly got up and left the room, but soon came over suddenly, took the old incense burner, inserted three sticks of incense, and placed it in front of the picture scroll.

Seeing Lu Liangsheng's puzzled gaze on the bed, Li Jinhua walked out and said, "Even if you're a ghost, you still have to eat."

Although Lu Xiaoxian at the door was a little timid, she still came in and bowed to Nie Honglian on the painting.

Then he looked at Lu Liangsheng, snorted, turned around and walked out, imitating his mother's tone and said: "Sister Gui saved me, please, there are a lot of meat."
