Great Sui Guoshi

"At that time, even if we lose the enemy, we will be able to retreat completely. As for the restoration of the country, my son has no extravagant hopes."

In the dark night, the mother and son in the temple talked a little, and leaned together to comfort each other, recalling some scenes of the Chen Dynasty in the past, the atmosphere was slightly better.

Soon, the clouds in the eastern sky turned white, and a golden light pierced through the clouds to shine out, pushing away the darkness covering the world at high speed. In the spreading temple, the bonfire was extinguished, and green smoke curled up. The mother and child in the temple People carry the burden on their backs, leave in the morning light, and go elsewhere.

The golden light spreads, pushes over the majestic and ancient city walls, and the streets and alleys are full of bustle and bustle. The men who get up early to work shirtless buy breakfast and squat on the side of the street chatting with their companions about what happened last night. The woman who cooks is surrounded by the mouth of the well, and she is also talking about yesterday's rumors, some people even saw it with their own eyes, and they say that they have a nose and eyes.

"You don't know, a group of people in black, catch others and bite them, it's so scary."

"Oh... isn't that a monster?"

"What monsters, you didn't hear the officials say that those are all believers in cults, and their brains are not working."

"I think so too. How can there be so many monsters coming to the city?"

"That's right, how will the government deal with this later?"

"...Ghost knows, anyway, the people who participated, now there are guards to interrogate, but it seems that the money has been returned, do you think it is strange?"

"What's so strange, after all, people are dead, and some compensation should be given."

In the chatter of the market, the sun shines on the Furong Pond, the slightly swaying lake surface is sparkling, and a group of wild ducks comb their wings and neigh twice.

On the raised terrain opposite, the light and strong peasants in the Taoist temple are carrying burdens, carrying stone materials, and repairing floor tiles and overturned wooden buildings.

The warm morning sun swept away the haze of the night, and the Taoist temple was full of heat.

The Taoist held the teacup in one hand and put the other on his waist, drinking tea, gesticulating and directing Qing Zhuang to put the stone and wood to the designated place for stacking.

"Sure enough, it's cool to be an official..."

Immediately, thinking of the scalp-numbing content of books, I quickly threw this thought out of my mind, "I am a practitioner in this way, how can I be greedy for secular power...unlike some people. '

Holding the teacup, Sun Yingxian took a sip of the hot tea, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and looked back at the attic behind.

'But it's good to be with someone and enjoy wealth. '

Over there, several floors of attics stood tall, the sun shone into the open window lattices, light and dust danced, on the purple wood bed, Lu Liangsheng slightly opened his eyes, felt a little pain, and woke up clutching his forehead.

hiss~~~

The body was heavy, and when she woke up a little bit, she saw Xiyou sleeping with her limbs swollen around him, stuffing the wooden pillow into her arms, rubbing her pretty face on it while hugging the pillow.

Lu Liangsheng sat down on the edge of the bed, put on his shoes, and when he stretched, he looked at the desk. There were several bandages wrapped around the head of Taoist Toad. Drum sitting on a book basking in the sun.

Sensing the movement, he opened his slightly swollen toad eyes and narrowed his eyes. Seeing his appearance, Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment. Didn't he hit him? Why did Master become like this?

The scholar straightened his wide sleeves, sat down at the table, and tentatively said something.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmph..." Taoist Toad hung his frog webbed, glanced sideways at his apprentice, snorted, and turned his face away: "It's nothing."

Lu Liangsheng was stunned, and he was even more confused by the master's reaction. Could it be that he accidentally injured the master after he fell into a coma?

It shouldn't be like this...

Thinking silently, Taoist Ha over there didn't hear the apprentice's concerned words for a while, and turned around hastily.

"You should continue to ask me as a teacher!"

"Uh... Master, didn't you say it's all right?!"

Hearing these words, Toad almost stood up excitedly, slightly raised the dangling flipper, "You seem to be fine, Master?"

The scholar looked at the excited master in front of him with a grin, and quickly picked up his words and asked:

"Then what happened to Master's injury?"

The room was a little quieter. Amidst the sound of the woman grinding her teeth on the bed, Taoist Toad calmed down, stretched his short legs, sat back down again, hummed, and glanced at the bed.

"It's not that old tree demon... as a teacher, I just woke you up, but in the end, I beat the old man!!"

Chapter 5 Interrogation

The morning sun passes through the window lattice, and the light and dust dance.

The scholar at the table raised his eyebrows, raised his finger and pointed at himself, "You mean sober? At that time, I remembered everything clearly. I took Chen Fu with my Qiankun sleeve and rushed back all the way."

"The point is wrong. I said that I was beaten for being a teacher..." Taoist Toad stood up from the book, tiptoed his flippers, and saw his apprentice holding a picture scroll, and raised a cup of sour plum soup from it, wanting to say He swallowed the words again, and quickly poked at the apprentice with the webbed.

"Quickly, bring it to the teacher."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and took the phantom bowl of sour plum soup, and hand-fed it to the master's mouth: "Master, you haven't explained why you are sober."

Ton!

Ton!

Ton!

The soup flowed over the corners of his mouth, and he raised his webbed to indicate that he could put down the bowl. Only then did Taoist Toad burp comfortably, patted his belly, lay down on the book, closed his eyes lazily, and smacked his lips in aftertaste.

"You certainly can't feel it yourself, but what is your cultivation level as a teacher? When you galloped the world, mountains, rivers and rivers were all there..."

Lu Liangsheng let out a breath, got up and went to the basin rack to wash up, woke up Qiyou who was on the couch, came back and sat down again, Taoist Toad's words continued.

"...That's a well-informed person, you are conscious, but your temperament has been affected, even your apprentices, old husbands and grandchildren can feel the changes in you."

Lu Liangsheng frowned, and pushed Qi You, who was approaching yawningly, away from him, patted her hand and said, "Go out and play." Then, his eyes fell back on Toad.

"Master, how can you be sure?"

Not only does one need to be rigorous in cultivating the Tao, but as a scholar, one also needs to sort things out. Taoist Toad over there opened his slightly swollen eyes and sat up slowly.

The bandage-wrapped head looked at the sunshine outside the window, and thought for a while: "It's actually simple. How can a teacher not know what kind of temperament you usually have? It's very different from yesterday's demeanor and behavior."

As he spoke, he got up and carried a frog web alone, thinking about walking back and forth.

"I'm guessing as a teacher, it's because you often read Lu Yuan's life in the past, and you were affected by what he did and did. After all, you two are one person, and you started to imitate him unconsciously, or in other words, go back to the original The character you should have."

Taoist Toad lived longer, and explained this matter clearly in a few simple sentences. If it were Lu Liangsheng, he might also figure it out in the end, but it would take a while for him to find out.

Thinking about the other character under the influence, it is really useful in martial arts, at least his consciousness is clear, and he should not do indiscriminate killings.

Lu Liangsheng remembered that demon stars also seem to affect people's personality, and there is no similarity between the two.

"Right now, the fragments of the demon star are scattered all over the place. I can't let it go, but where it came from and why it came here, I have no clue at all. Perhaps, let it possess it once and find out the details..."

After a while, the door creaked open, and the scholar who was thinking about something turned his head. The Taoist leaned against the door, looking at it curiously, which made him burst into laughter. He wiped the picture scroll casually, and brought out a bowl of sour plum soup out of thin air, and passed it to the other party .

"what's up?"

"I come here to see the cold-hearted scholar of the University of Lu... Tsk tsk, it seems that there is no chance."

Sun Yingxian laughed twice, took a sip of the cool and suitable soup, and the mouth melted, leaving only the sweet and sour plums, and a trace of coolness. Toad turned his head and said:

"By the way, you forgot to ask you when you came back, what about the corpse demon?"

"it's here!"

Lu Liangsheng patted a wide sleeve with yin and yang printed on his wrist, "This man is Chen Fu, you should have seen it."

"That old man who is determined to restore the country?" The Taoist glanced at the scholar's Qiankun sleeves, pouted his lips and shook his head: "Obstinence... possessed by a demon star, the obsession is even deeper. Came from the city, but ended up being tucked into his sleeves, and now there is no hope of restoring the country, but a corpse monster, how can it not be unstoppable by spells? It can't be..."

Lao Sun knew that the possession of the demon star fragments would bring about a big change in temperament, but he was not very clear about what was behind. Guessing the words, seeing Lu Liangsheng nodding, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Can you still be so powerful? Come on, don't you still have some, give me a little bit of this way, let me possess the body, and see if I can improve my cultivation."

"Don't make trouble, I'm afraid your lust will increase greatly by then."

Lu Liangsheng patted him on the shoulder, passed by, walked out of the door, and walked to Zuo Zhengyang's room. The Taoist followed behind, holding the back of his head with his hands, and didn't care.

"It's also... the heart of the Dao belongs to it, how can it become so anxious, the gain outweighs the loss, the gain outweighs the loss."

Shaking his head a few times, he followed the scholar to push the door in. The one-armed figure was lying quietly on the couch, still in a coma. There were two long knives leaning on the wall beside him, and there was a wooden couch beside him. The one next to him was Yang Guang. They were both men in the same room anyway, so it was convenient to take care of them.

Sunlight passed through the window lattice, and Lu Liangsheng who came in walked through the light spots on the ground, stretched out his hand to tell the Taoist to stop talking, went to sit on the edge of the bed, and checked Zuo Zhengyang's condition.

With the fingertips resting on the opponent's wrist, the pulse condition has become stable, and the face covered with green onion stubble has changed from bruises to blood, and the breathing is much better than before.

"In two days, I will almost wake up."

Lu Liangsheng put his hands back under the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and went to another wooden couch to examine Yang Guang carefully. The latter is an ordinary person without mana to protect his body, and he was injured by the breath of a demon star. What will happen? Symptoms are not clear yet.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Jin's demon star breath has been cleared away, but I don't know if the affected temperament will be preserved. If the temperament changes drastically, the royal family may be uneasy in the future."

At the round table behind, the Taoist jumped onto the stool and squatted down, reached for the teapot on it, poured a bowl of tea, and sneered at the scholar's words.

"Old Lu, you are a national teacher, not a prime minister. What are you doing with your heart? You just need to protect the world from being invaded by demons. If you want to pursue longevity, you should pursue it. If you want to marry a wife and have children, you should marry a wife and have children. Live a more carefree life." Isn't it good?"

Over there, Lu Liangsheng put down Yang Guang's hand, poured some magic power into him to nourish his body, then got up with his wide sleeves, and said with a smile: "If I first came into contact with Taoism and lived happily, then the current Lu Liangsheng , is the free spirit who travels all over the world, but unfortunately...I have learned Confucianism again, the life and death of the people, the peril of the country...I can't let it go."

With that said, he asked the Taoist priest to go out together.

"Big reason."

Sun Yingxian put down his teacup, followed behind, chatted with the scholar, went down to the attic together, went to the alchemy room at the back, listed a few medicinal ingredients, and went to the city pharmacy to buy some back, the Taoist also knows how to make alchemy, according to Lu Liangsheng As he said, he made some elixir to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vitality, nourish the energy and store the spirit, and gave it to Yang Guang and Zuo Zhengyang.

After surviving in a hurry, the sky became dark before he knew it. Lu Liangsheng looked at the half-repaired wooden building, and watched Qing Zhuang, who came here to work, leave.

Turning around and walking to the more spacious place over the pool, he waved his cuffs.

Behind him, Zhu Gangli, Li Suian, Sun Yingxian and other people and monsters surrounded him, standing not far away, watching the scholar over there shaking off his cuffs, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the bewildered crowd raised their hands to cover their faces.

For a moment, the wind stopped.

Looking ahead again, a figure fell from mid-air, Lu Liangsheng pinched out his fingers, in the Five Elements Taoism, water and soil mixed into four pillars rose from the pool.

The scholar pointed to a few sets of tools that were placed not far from the wooden building over there. The metal was cut apart and flew to the four pillars. In the blink of an eye, four pitch-black iron chains were pulled out, stretched to the night sky, and the limbs of the falling figure Bound, then jerked outwards, hanging it over the sink.

"Mr. Chen, should you wake up now?"

Lu Liangsheng stepped forward, stroking his unicorn cloak, a trace of mana penetrated into the eyebrows of the old man, and the latter's face, which was originally shaped like a skeleton, gradually returned to the appearance of the old man in the past.

Well......

While moaning hoarsely, Chen Fu, with his gray hair hanging down, slowly raised his face, looked at the scholar standing below, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then took a sip.

"The old man... is very sober, but it's a pity that he didn't kill the Emperor of Sui!!!"

Taoist Ha, who was sitting on his apprentice's shoulder, nodded appreciatively.

"This old man has a bit of demeanor, Liang Sheng, this kind of mouth is the toughest, let him suffer a little bit first!"

Chapter 5 Fifteen

The clouds in the night sky revealed the crescent moon, and the temperature became cooler. On the stone tablet of "Longevity View", in the middle of the three wooden buildings, there were four pillars made of water and soil, and the sound of iron chains rang.

Naturally, Lu Liangsheng would not listen to his master's words that he would be punished if he disagreed with him. If he really wanted the other party to be punished, he would have to come from the underworld. After all, they had many methods and knew where to start.

After brushing off his cuffs, the scholar looked solemnly, looking at the old man standing in the air.

"Old man, Lu Liangsheng admires this obsession to bring the dead back to life and continue to fight against the national calamity, but in the pretext of restoring the country, he transfers the disaster to the people and slaughters wantonly. You may say that the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit." Reasonable, but in conscience, you can live with it?"

"They have such a conscience?"

Old Sun picked up a broken brick at his feet, and smashed it into the pool. The splashed water splashed on the two hanging bare feet. Chen Fu, whose limbs were suspended, did not make any sound of breathing. Through the gaps in his hair, he stared straight at the scholar.

The corners of his mouth opened, and he let out a hoarse laugh: "Yang Jian established the country, is there no blood? When attacking my old country in the Southern Dynasties, is it possible that soldiers will kill people? If the old man wants to restore the country, how can he not die? His Yang family can unify the world. What about my Chen family? Can't get back?!"

The fragments of the demon star were pulled out of his body. His body, which was invulnerable to swords, guns and magic spells before, was bound by the opponent's spells.

... If you don't run away, you can also buy some time for meeting the apprentice outside the city.

"I hope Jing'er, don't be impulsive, and concentrate on practicing Taoism..."

When Lu Liangsheng saw him finish speaking, his expression fell into his thoughts and he didn't bother him. He just stood by him for a while, then slowly opened his eyes and stepped forward.

"The old gentleman has different ideas from mine, so I won't say more, but there is one question, Lu Liangsheng will feel unhappy if he doesn't ask."

Above, upon hearing the scholar's words, the old man moved a little, and when he raised his face slightly, Lu Liangsheng's voice had already opened and rang out.

"Mister, do you know what possessed you?"

Over there, Chen Fu kept silent and just looked at the people below with the corners of his mouth curled up. After a while, he suddenly laughed.

"...Master Lu, don't waste your words, don't say that I don't know, even if I know, I won't tell you, I have nothing to do with the life and death of the people in the world. Isn't it just right that the world is chaotic, hahaha——"

Laughter echoed across the field, Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes, reached out his hand to stop the Taoist who was so angry, and when he opened it again, he waved his sleeves violently.
