Great Sui Guoshi

Daoist Toad, who was lying on the old donkey's back basking in the sun, opened his eyelids, snorted and turned his face away.

Lu Liangsheng packed everything up properly, and after admonishing the Taoists, he did not bring the old donkey and his master into the palace. He cast the spell of shrinking the ground to an inch, and arrived at the mountain gate in a blink of an eye. With a bang, they all fell to the ground and bowed their heads: "I have seen the national teacher!"

Lu Liangsheng nodded towards them, with his sleeves folded, his figure slowly disappeared into the sky, passing through the bustling long street, under the imperial city, there was a special carriage waiting, and he saw figures coming from the end of the long street in the distance, there were soldiers The carriage has already arrived.

"Meet the national teacher."

"I'm sorry." Lu Liangsheng stepped into the carriage and sat in the carriage. After a while, the horses pulling the carriage turned around and walked along the high palace wall to Daxing Palace. On the ground, a team of dozens of people had neatly armored armor, mottled with knife marks, presumably it was the lieutenant general who came back from the south.

Lu Liangsheng got out of the carriage, and the lieutenant generals lined up over there naturally recognized the scholar, and they couldn't speak casually at the moment, so they had to cast their eyes to show kindness.

"You guys have worked hard."

"Thank you for your praise!"

Some of them also opened their mouths to respond, and then straightened their waists, and looked straight ahead at the main hall without turning their eyes. Wearing a red cloak and holding an iron helmet, he stood between the civil and military forces on both sides, talking to the emperor above the imperial steps, laughing out loud from time to time.

"Those rebels in the south, before my veteran arrived, the little emperor and his master were dealt with by the national teacher, and there were some shrimp soldiers and crab generals left. They surrendered after only two fights, and ran away, Your Majesty Don't worry, it's very peaceful over there now, even if there are people with evil intentions, let me, an old man, kill them, haha!!"

When Lu Liangsheng passed by, an eunuch had already trotted in to report, and the old man who was joking with the emperor turned his head and laughed even louder.

"National teacher, you are here!"

Behind the dragon case, Yang Jian stood up and waved to the eunuch to bring a big tiger-skin chair and put it on the right side of the imperial steps. However, Lu Liangsheng had never sat on it. As the saying goes in the book, high ambition is not arrogant, and kindness is close to others.

"Lu Liangsheng has met His Majesty."

The scholar stood still beside the old man, Yang Jian didn't blame him for not sitting down, and talked about the reason for calling him with a smile.

"Going back from Shangzhu Kingdom after traveling thousands of miles, the national teacher is proficient in the technique of exorcising evil spirits. I wonder if I can use it a little bit to sprinkle nectar for the soldiers to drive away evil spirits."

You called me here for this?

This kind of magic is not difficult, not to mention that Han Qinhu and the generals outside the army are also considered to be fighting for the country, so it is not difficult to use a little mana.

Afterwards, the eunuchs in the palace were asked to prepare joss sticks and three animals, and Lu Liangsheng lit three long candles. In the wisps of smoke that rose, he pinched his fingers, and a ball of flame burst from the candles with a bang sound.

A gust of wind blows past dozens of Nanzheng generals who are neatly arranged below. On the armor of the people invisible to the naked eye, traces of entangled black air are pulled by the wind and carried to the sky, gradually fading and dissipating. go.

The surrounding soldiers didn't know what happened, but felt that the wind came at the right time, so they couldn't help poking their heads forward, exposing the back of their necks, and letting the cool wind blow in.

He narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Over there, after praying to exorcise evil spirits, Lu Liangsheng asked people to take away the altar, and ordered the offerings to be placed in the kitchen and placed under the eaves, so that they should not be moved casually.

Later, Lu Liangsheng chatted with the emperor and Han Qinhu for a while.

"By the way, Guoshi, your fellow Taoist is back? I see that his martial arts skills are very good. Why don't you invite him to serve in the army."

After the government affairs were over, Yang Jian walked in front, watching the civil and military soldiers who had dispersed in twos and threes, and became interested when he heard Han Qinhu's words.

"But that one-armed swordsman?"

Slowly going half a step to the right, Lu Liangsheng was a little surprised. Hearing what the old man said, Zuo Qianwei came back?Where is he then?

While thinking about it, he also replied: "The Taoist friend mentioned by Shangzhu Kingdom has not returned to Chang'an..."

"Didn't come back?" Han Qinhu was also a little surprised, after all, he saw the other party flying off the ship's plank and heading towards Chang'an in the west.

The three of them walked through the corridor eaves, just as Lu Liangsheng was about to speak, an eunuch trotted up to meet him in front of the corridor, and knelt down on the ground.

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has entered the palace."

Hearing the eunuch's report, Yang Jian frowned, his eyes revealed doubts: "Yesterday, Amo was about to leave, why did he come back suddenly?"

Speaking of this, there was a figure striding towards this side in the distance, it was Jin Wang Yang Guang, but before he got close, when he saw Lu Liangsheng who was beside the emperor, his expression changed wildly, and he turned around and was about to leave.

The next moment, the leaving figure was dazzling, as if it was going backwards, and it was even closer.

"Your Majesty, don't go up."

Lu Liangsheng tugged at the corner of Yang Jian's clothes, gestured with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't come close." He lifted his yin and yang sleeves, and the cuffs suddenly opened, pulling Jin Wang who had walked more than ten steps away in an instant. to the front.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Don't mess around!"

Yang Jian and Han Qinhu yelled out almost at the same time, but Lu Liangsheng didn't hear it at all. He stretched out his palm from inside his raised cuff and grabbed King Jin's neck tightly. Go to Yang Guang's eyebrows.

Hooking with two fingers, a ray of red appeared abruptly from Yang Guang's seven orifices in the line of sight of Yang Jian and Han Qinhu.

"Roar!"

Turning into a ferocious face, he growled at the opposite Lu Liangsheng, who grabbed the face with one hand and pinched the face made of red smoke.

In the next second, the fingers were bent down, and a 'bang' was heard, and the face was crushed instantly.

Chapter 498 The Enchanting Qi is Extraordinary

hiss... roar...

The shrill roar came to an abrupt end, and the red face shattered between Lu Liangsheng's fingers and turned into a few wisps of smoke, which floated away from the eaves of the corridor and gathered again.

"Come, stay—"

Lu Liangsheng let go of his hand, swaying the sleeves of his robe, the lanterns under the eaves, and the trees in the courtyard swayed wildly, stretching towards the cuffs, and the glazed tiles on the roof in other directions shook in unison. , flying towards this side like infinite suction, the red air floating in mid-air is like a solitary leaf fluttering in a violent storm, torn to pieces and sucked away under the eaves.

The scholar turned his sleeves and flicked, grabbed the ball of red air with his palm, wrapped it into a circle with mana, and frowned slightly as he saw the floating ball in his palm full of red air.

Sure enough, there was a breath of demon star fragments.

uh~~

Yang Guang sat on the ground leaning on the fence of the corridor and groaned. When he woke up, veteran Han Qinhu hurried up to help him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell?"

"National Division!"

Standing not far away and watching everything, Yang Jian's expression was calm. After all, he was a little frightened. He glanced at his helpless son, and cast his eyes on the scholar opposite.

"What's going on here...but it's a monster?"

Asked by the emperor's words, Lu Liangsheng held the red air in his palm and murmured: "Yes." Looking carefully, the red air wanted to break through the magic ball from time to time, and he could faintly hear something like hysteria from inside. Howling, hissing, or ferocious, sinister laughing, it was affirmed by his previous guess that the demon star gave people negative emotions.

And ..... there seems to be a certain amount of wisdom.

"Your Majesty, this thing is the demon star that was crushed by the minister, and the evil spirit attached to the scattered fragments. Your Highness came across it on the way out of the city, touched it unintentionally, and was contaminated by it."

In fact, Lu Liangsheng was not sure at the beginning whether he had wisdom or not, but Yang Guang turned back to the palace halfway, turned and left as soon as he saw him, and besides the faint strange aura on his body, he could see a person, his face changed wildly and he turned around Just leave, that is to be afraid, or avoid intentionally, this behavior undoubtedly proves the performance of a certain degree of wisdom.

After thinking about it, Lu Liangsheng turned around with the ball of red energy, "Your Majesty, the bones of the fish demon back then are still in the palace?"

On the opposite side, Yang Jian stared blankly at the demonic aura in his hand that wanted to break through the magic ball. This was the first time he faced such a thing directly, and it took him a long time to react from the shock and nodded repeatedly.

"It's still there, it's still there, the national teacher will follow me."

The old man asked Han Qinhu to take the second prince down to rest, and sent a few more guards to follow him, before he asked the eunuch to help him, and walked to a hidden building on Houyuan Hengjie.

The long corridor became quiet, the sound of footsteps and human voices went away, and a trace of redness emerged from the slightly swaying lantern. After looking around, it quickly moved out, flew out to the sky outside the palace, and patrolled across the imperial city The soldiers who passed by fell down, and there were rows of high and low buildings and bustling streets.

The back garden of the imperial palace is a place where foreign ministers are forbidden to enter. Even the prince is rarely qualified to enter alone. Right now, Lu Liangsheng followed the emperor in. While talking along the way, he couldn't help looking around from the corner of his eye. The place he was going at this time was surrounded by many trees. , one by one tree cages are luxuriantly branched together, and it is difficult for the sun to shine.

The three-story attic in front looked eerie.

squeak...

The door of the room was old, and there was a low-pitched groan. The eunuchs who opened the door quickly took out the torches, ignited the sparks and lit the bronze lampposts standing in the house one by one, and cleverly set the corners of the wall and the cobwebs on the lampposts. Hit it down and tuck it into your sleeve.

The light illuminated the attic, and the inside was empty, except for a three-foot-wide and four-foot-long wooden platform in the middle, covered with a layer of white cloth, faintly showing the outline of a fish.

"National teacher, please!"

The emperor walked into the attic where the bones of the fish demon were stored, and turned his face slightly: "Master, the fish demon is in front, but I don't know what to use it for?"

"Don't be afraid of anything your Majesty sees later."

Lu Liangsheng walked to the middle with the magic ball, and cast a calming and protective spell on the old man. The eunuchs waiting on both sides of the wooden platform tremblingly pulled the white cloth away slowly, revealing a huge The fish bones, some places between the dense white bones, are jade-like, which is a sign of becoming a demon. If the whole bone was jade, with the scholar's cultivation at that time, he could only turn around and leave, not daring to provoke him.

"You also stand at His Majesty's place." Lu Liangsheng said to the eunuchs, and as if they were pardoned, they wiped the rouge powder mixed with sweat on their faces and ran to Yang Jian to protect him.

"Your Majesty, there are some old slaves here, so I will..."

"Turn your head away!"

Yang Jian slapped him to block his sight, and the eunuch who spoke slapped him on the side of the head, and the slap was sideways, only then did he see Lu Liangsheng approaching the wooden platform.

The dharma ball held in his hand drew out traces of red air, which attached to the fish demon's bones, and the red air swam around to explore, and the moment it touched the bones, it sank into the bones of the corpse in the blink of an eye.

next second.

Echoed in the empty hall, there was a creepy "click" sound from the pores, and the eunuchs only felt a chill from the tailbone up the back and straight to the back of the neck, and their teeth were clicking. .

On the wooden platform, the huge fishbone tail suddenly trembled, and the bright head also swayed lightly at the same time. The mouth of the fish that was left on the shelf opened and closed, and it wanted to jump up. click and push it back.

"rise!"

With the mana in his palm, Lu Liangsheng grabbed it with his fingers and dragged it backwards. The red air that had been submerged in the fish bone before was pulled out and melted into the magic ball to seal it.

'It can attach to living things, and it can also occupy the bodies of dead things... If this fragment is scattered on the states, things will be troublesome. '

Point your fingertips on the dharma ball to write a word of edict, put it in the Qiankun sleeve after strengthening, turn around, and arch your hands like Yang Jian over there.

"Your Majesty, I will bring this thing back to the Longevity Temple first, and when King Jin gets better, let him come over and examine it carefully."

"Then...there is Teacher Lao."

When dealing with the affairs of a country, Yang Jian naturally handles them easily, but the matter of monsters still depends on the national teacher who he hired with great difficulty in front of him, and suddenly feels that the sincerity before is really fucking farsighted.

.....By the way, I thanked that dead man Chen Shubao in my heart.

.......

The carriage that Lu Liangsheng got up in was staggering, and he closed his eyes thinking about the fragments of the demon star. In the bustling market outside the imperial city, a fluttering red aura fell to the nearby deep alley.

The sun mottled up the mossy alley wall, and the sound of several footsteps approached from far away. Four figures in scholar's robes gnawed on the steamed buns in their hands, and walked towards each other.

wow——

Someone stepped on a puddle of sewage, stopped, and shook his shoe vigorously while leaning on the wall.

"...Who is so wicked, pour water here, it's a pity for my shoes."

"Brother Ma, why bother about a pair of worn-out shoes? Later, we will ask if our candidate has been confirmed. When he takes office, we will get a few taels from him first, so we will have everything!"

"When I read the books of sages and do a good job as an official, people will naturally send money. Why do you do such a self-willed and depraved thing like greed, Lao Zhao, do you think it's right for you to say it?"

Did not hear the answer, the three people in front turned their heads, and over there, a short and fat scholar named Zhao Tang, with his head hanging down and his hand holding a steamed bun, was also hanging on his leg, standing there silently and motionless.

"Old Zhao?" Wang Feng called out again.

ho ho...

A throaty sound came from the throat of the scholar who was standing with his head down. He slowly raised his head. The sunlight from outside the alley fell on half of his face, giving off a gloomy air. The corners of his thick lips grinned. Forced a smile... Then, a hand waved.

Snapped!

A slap across Zhao Tang's face, Wang Feng lifted his wide sleeves: "Why are you laughing, we are asking you a very serious question, and you still deserve a beating when you smile."

uh uh...

Under half of the shadow, Zhao Tang turned his face around, grinned, his eyes showed fierceness, and was about to pounce on him, but another hand waved and slapped him on the right cheek, and he stumbled towards the wall.

"Brother scolded, it's teaching, how dare you be fierce!" Zhang Ti pointed at him, and wanted to go up and slap him, but Wang Feng stopped him and dragged them to the alley.

"I'm waiting for scholars, how can I be so rude and go away."

Behind the three of them, Zhao Tang, who was squatting under the wall, covered his face in a daze, and suddenly gave a jolt, as if something floated out from the back of his neck, and flew away in a panic.

The fat scholar shook his head and got up from the ground. He touched both sides of his cheeks. It was a burning pain. It looked like he was pinching the crumbled steamed buns in his hands.

"Eating a steamed bun and getting angry?"

Confused, he followed out of this alley.

Chapter 499 Where Did Zuo Zhengyang Go?

As the sun sets in the west, it shines across the city. On the edge of Furong Pond, the reeds sway slowly in the wind.

A carriage came and stopped at the mountain gate, Lu Liangsheng got out of the carriage and drove straight back to the Taoist temple. Yan Chixia took Li Suian to discuss sword-handling skills in the square by the pool.

Lu Liangsheng raised his hand to make him stand up, his eyes swept around, and he didn't see Taoist Toad basking in the sun as usual under the attic.
