Great Sui Guoshi

With magic power, the sound spread.

"Where is the night parade in the city, go and inform your city god, come and lock up the corpse monster!"

In the pitch-black air, a voice came from nowhere, vaguely: "Yes!"

Soon, below the Wanshou Temple, the pitch-black forest was shaking, and a gust of wind blew by, and a thin layer of white mist spread across the dense forest.

In the turbulent fog, Ji Xin and the directors of various departments floated out of the fog with the dark wind, and there were more than ten ecstasy on both sides. Seeing the scholar over there, Ji Xin raised his hands first.

"Master Lu!"

The voice was ethereal and ethereal, not as majestic as before. Lu Liangsheng guessed that it was because Chen Fu had injured his soul before. The divine light was dim, and the Dharma image was in sight, slightly distorted.

When the other party came over, the scholar raised his hand in return: "Chenghuang, your injury..."

"It's okay, as long as the edict is not canceled, the god's position is still there, and as long as there is still a trace of soul, this king can also return to his original state."

This is the convenience of having the god of incense and fire. The city god of a place is a chance for people who are famous and have great merit in the local area. However, Lu Liangsheng knows that if the imperial court sues the heavens to revoke the imperial seal, the city god will be deprived of the god, and his soul will be destroyed. It is inevitable to go to reincarnation. If you have a bad relationship with the underworld of Mount Tai, you can only become a ghost cultivator.

Ji Xin's words were full of confidence, and he said it easily, but he knew that the young national teacher in front of him now held the right to demolish and build temples, so he took the initiative to say hello when we met each other on the first day of the new year.

After chatting for a few words, Lu Liangsheng put down his hands and invited the other party to go there together, "The City God still recognizes this monster."

"Why don't you recognize it!"

The City God and all the masters and servants behind him showed anger, not to mention their dereliction of duty, tens of thousands of people in the city were exhausted, how could they just let it go.

Since Lu Liangsheng called them over, it was definitely not for watching a show, so Ji Xin waved his hand without saying anything.

"Bring back!"

A group of errands got their orders, and they stepped forward and threw the chain of seductive souls. One end of the magic weapon flew straight to the old man in mid-air, avoiding the flesh and bones, and directly locked the soul inhabiting the body.

Chen Fu yelled in pain, twisted his body, and rattled the four iron chains tied to his limbs. However, in less than five breaths, the struggling body above suddenly fell silent and fell powerlessly. Ying was pulled by more than a dozen chains, and was pulled out abruptly.

"Nie Zhan, you are also a human being, how dare you do such a thing!"

Seeing that the soul has been captured, Ji Xin held up the City God's wat board, under the light of the gods, shrouded the old man's soul, and put it into the jade board in a blink of an eye.

On the other side, after seeing what happened, Lu Liangsheng said: "Since the demon soul has been collected, please trouble me to interrogate it and help find out the origin of the demon star."

"The national teacher's words are serious, Ji will definitely do his best!"

After setting a good time, Lu Liangsheng watched the people from the underworld leave, turned around and took back his magic power, and put down the hanging corpse. In this square, he raised a flame with his magic power to burn the corpse, so as not to change the corpse and lose the restraint of the soul , I am afraid that the disaster will be even greater.

The pale fire light reflected in his eyes. Lu Liangsheng looked at it for a while, then turned and left, and walked towards the mountain gate. On Li Suian's shoulder, Taoist Toad called him back.

"Liangsheng, where are you going?"

"Go to the palace."

Lu Liangsheng didn't turn around, and simply replied, pinching the Fajue and waving his robe sleeves, performing the invisibility and shrinking to an inch technique, on the long street, because of what happened before, there were few pedestrians, most of them were soldiers, Yamen servants were patrolling the streets, and far away, there were also watchmen knocking on their clappers.

bang bang~~~

"There is an order from the government that you are not allowed to leave the house late at night..."

bang bang~~

"...Beware of strangers, don't open the door!"

The mist lingered, and the sound was farther away. Lu Liangsheng's figure flickered from the street, and then he appeared at the end of the street, heading for the imperial city.

.........

In the dead of night, in the deep palace of the imperial city, the lights are brightly lit after nightfall.

Eunuchs and maids of all sizes stood outside the bedroom, waiting cautiously for the call. Inside, among a series of burning candles, Empress Dugu Jialuo sat on the edge of the bed, blowing on the silver spoon in her hand, feeding the cold soup to the couch and sitting on it. in the mouth of her husband.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about your body. The imperial doctor has said it all. It's just that I was frightened and angry again, and my anger came up, so I was a little dizzy."

On the opposite side, Yang Jian took a sip of the bitter soup, and when he took the second sip, he pushed the silver spoon away.

"My body, I know it well...don't drink it, let the maid take it down."

The maid from outside came in and took the medicine bowl and left. The old man held the queen's outstretched arm and sat on the edge of the bed. There was a layer of fine sweat beads, and he waved his hands several times.

"No, no, I'm dizzy so badly, Empress, if you send someone to call the national teacher, the decoction must not work..."

"Your Majesty, bitter medicine is the root of healing, and the national teacher is just..."

The queen who was sitting on the edge of the bed frowned slightly, and was about to continue persuading her when the eunuch waiting outside stood outside the threshold, bowed and called out:

"Report to Your Majesty, Empress, the national teacher is here."

The emperor, who was leaning on the dragon couch, was immediately refreshed, and stretched out his hand to press the back of the queen's hand, preventing her from speaking, and quickly made a move with the other hand.

"Quickly invite the national teacher into the palace."

Chapter 5 Night discussion of the court, starting again

The night wind ran across the eaves of the palace, rows of lanterns swayed, and within the range of the swaying light, an eunuch bowed forward to meet the figure coming up the stone steps.

"The national teacher is here, please."

On both sides of the palace gate, the maids and guards who were waiting bowed their heads one by one, and the figure who came up stepped into the range illuminated by the lantern. It was a young man in a green shirt and white robe, wearing a Lun scarf, and a chicken heart pendant with chilong cloud pattern on his waist. Swaying gently, he nodded 'hmm' to the eunuch who was waiting respectfully.

Walking to the palace gate, the eunuch who notified him turned back and carefully stepped back to one side. In his lowered eyes, a pair of auspicious cloud shoes walked over, stepped into the threshold, and hurriedly followed behind with bowed body and small steps, waiting for the king. The master went in, waved his sleeves towards the eunuchs and guards on both sides, and they closed the palace door together.

There was a sound of the heavy door leaf, Lu Liangsheng shook his sleeves, and bowed his hands to the old man sitting on the bedside of the dragon couch with the curtains drawn in front of him.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"National teacher, don't be too polite."

Yang Jianqiang endured his dizziness, and asked the maid in the palace to move a chair, and seeing that it was far away, he yelled, "Put it in front of my bed!!"

The palace maid turned pale with fright, she put down a large chair and went back to the corner, she was still trembling.

"Your Majesty is sick, and still so angry, it seems to scare them." Dugu Jialuo pushed her husband back, pressed the quilt for him, Shi Shiran got up, smiled and nodded to Lu Liangsheng opposite.

"National teacher and His Majesty talk about things."

After finishing speaking, he took a few rather robust maids to the side hall, and when he heard the sound of footsteps going away, Yang Jian turned his neck and glanced through the thin curtain, and then exhaled.

Sitting opposite, Lu Liangsheng naturally saw all the old man's expressions in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up and he held back, sitting there not knowing how to speak.

"Haha, the national teacher can just laugh if he wants to."

When the hall was quiet, Yang Jian held his forehead and propped it up a little bit. After getting more comfortable, he continued: "My queen, I am good at everything, but I am a little stronger. At this age, I feel a little powerless."

"Your Majesty's success in martial arts is just the time to show off your ambitions, how can you say such words."

There is no civil and military presence here, Lu Liangsheng smiled, and cast a small spell to control the wind, blowing a gentle breeze, which circulated endlessly in this dormitory, blowing away the sweltering heat of the early autumn night.

Rows of candles were flickering, and the old man finally felt a little more comfortable. He opened his collar, let the wind blow into his clothes, and sighed while looking at the dome of the curtain.

"The national teacher's words are wrong. I am indeed old. An accident yesterday made me bedridden. In the past, when I was young, I attacked the Northern Qi with the Duke of Yue. I was fighting for days. I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. fine......"

"Your Majesty came back yesterday feeling unwell?"

Lu Liangsheng frowned, and quickly put his finger on the old man's wrist. The serious expression just smiled again. The emperor was not infected with the aura of a demon star, nor was he infected with the aura of a corpse. .

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your body is fine."

Transferring some mana to the old man, nourishing the whole body, Yang Jian closed his eyes and felt the warmth that traveled all over his limbs, with indescribable comfort. Thinking of his son who stayed in Wanshou Temple, he couldn't help laughing.

"Amo stayed with the national teacher, it seems that I did the right thing."

"Where did your Majesty miss?" Lu Liangsheng also rarely said a word flatteringly, retracted his fingertips, and sat back on the chair again: "Your Majesty should not get angry at will, and stay up late to correct memorials, and rest more."

Yang Jian put his hands back under the quilt, adjusted his sitting posture, and said with a smile: "Before the national teacher came, the queen just advised me to go to the newly built Renshou Palace to raise her for a period of time. The national teacher might as well go with me. The Renshou Palace is The Duke of Yue personally supervised the construction, and it is quite luxurious. I have lived frugally all my life, but this is the first time I live here..."

"His Majesty."

The old man over there was talking about the luxury of Renshou Palace, Lu Liangsheng interrupted, and then continued: "I come here, actually I have other things to tell Your Majesty."

The soft candlelight shined on the handsome face, Lu Liangsheng thought about what he wanted to say, looked at the emperor who was listening quietly, and told all the things he was worried about about the fragments of the demon star.

"...King Jin's current situation is unknown, and I dare not say that nothing will happen, but there are still many fragments of demon stars scattered outside. If they are not cleared in time, it is very likely that there will be corpse demons like the invulnerable corpse demon yesterday. , it will even be even more powerful, and if a person is attached to it and possessed by the breath of a demon star, ordinary people will also become infinitely powerful and do some outrageous things."

Yang Jian listened quietly, and heard the "ordinary people" frown, and said in a low voice: "National Teacher, what if the general who leads the army is possessed?"

Inside the dormitory, it was surprisingly quiet. The maid who was standing in the corner quietly retreated out at some point. As the emperor, he was the most taboo of rebellion. When she asked this sentence, some turbid eyes flashed ferociously.

Lu Liangsheng knew the old man's temperament, and whoever was in this position would be like this when he heard these words. However, it is good to tell the truth about the influence caused by the demon star so that the emperor can be on guard.

"Without ambition, it may breed ambition and affect the disposition of people or demons. People who were originally kind may become fierce and evil, and do all kinds of bad things."

"Then what should the national teacher do? I will ask Duke Yue to fully assist!"

"No, I decided to go outside and search around first, explain the danger to other cultivators, and see if we can get people of the same path to work together."

"Since the national teacher has plans in mind, I have no choice but to agree. If there is a need, I will tell the Duke of Yue. I will do my best to support it. If you want anything, the national teacher will just ask!"

"The minister thanked His Majesty first."

.......

The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the figures of the two sitting and lying in front of the couch and talked for a long time. After discussing some details with the emperor, Lu Liangsheng and the emperor left. It was less than half before, and when they saw the national teacher coming out, they all saluted respectfully, "I have seen the national teacher!"

After all, apart from the Duke of Yue, there really was no other minister who could enter the emperor's bedroom late at night.

Thinking that he could go outside, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help speeding up his steps a little, he casually turned to the side of his low body, brushed off his robe sleeves, and helped them up one by one after a few steps.

"You don't need to be too polite, just take good care of His Majesty."

Not far away, under the eaves of the corridor, a figure bowed its upper body slightly, and hurried out. Seeing Lu Liangsheng walking down the stone steps, he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand.

"Teacher take a step slowly."

Lu Liangsheng walked down the stone steps. Hearing this sound, he looked away from the front, and fell on the figure bowing and clasping his hands. This person was wearing a thousand-foot armor, his face was buried, and his appearance could not be seen.

"Don't be too polite, just stand up and talk."

The man said: "Yes." Slowly raised his face, reflected in the lights from the eaves of the palace behind him, he was about forty years old, with a wide forehead and high nose, high cheekbones, and a half-foot long beard on his chin, a bit mean The appearance of widowhood.

"Please forgive me, the national teacher. My surname is Yuwen. I am one of the guards of the King of Jin. I have always been close to His Highness..." He looked at the national teacher with his back to the light. His entire face was in the shadows and he could not see expression.

'Goo...'

Swallowing hard, the voice couldn't help but decrease.

"It's just... I haven't seen His Highness for two days, and I feel worried. Not long ago, I heard that His Highness is in the Taoist Temple of the National Teacher, so I wanted to go and serve around. I don't know if the National Teacher...can you agree?"

Lu Liangsheng frowned and looked at him carefully. From the look of his eyes, this person had a bad appearance, and there was a hostility in his eyes, which was definitely not kind.

After a while, the scholar denied his words, "I always don't treat others. You are a guard in the palace, so just stay here and perform your duties. Don't think about it."

The last few words had the meaning of beating. Over there, Qian Niu Beishen, who was surnamed Yuwen, trembled all over, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

Lu Liangsheng nodded, flicked his cuffs, and disappeared into the darkness.

The long street was quiet, and amid the occasional barking of dogs, Lu Liang gave birth to the imperial city and walked alone on the long street with few people. In the distance, the lanterns of the brothels hung high, and the bright lights cut out human shadows pasted on the window lattices, presenting a bustling scene. .

On the way back to Furong Pond, he passed by the mansion with the word "Min" written on it, and stood outside the light of the lantern for a while, but he still didn't go in after all. Xing Fei flew to the nearby roof, stepped on the tiles and left quickly.

Passing through Quchi Square, all the way back to Wanshou Temple, the flames burning in the square have long been extinguished, except for a pool of burn marks, the remains of the bones must have been cleaned up by the Taoists.

Going into the attic, everyone was still awake, Yan Chixia sat on the window frame with a gourd to drink, Sun Yingxian played chess with Zhu Gangman, and Taoist Toad was still the same as before, with a frog webbed hanging, sitting next to them and watching their game .

On the side, Xiyou opened his mouth, branched out several tiny roots, and quietly tied a bowknot on the bandage on the toad's head.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Taoist Ha shook the bow tie on his head and turned around: "Liangsheng, go to the palace, can you gain anything?"

Playing chess, drinking, and dozing Taoist, Lao Zhu, Sui'an, and Yan Chixia all cast their gazes, Lu Liangsheng went straight to a chair, and took a sip of the tea that Xiyou handed him, as if thinking about it. matter.

Everyone looked at each other.

Toad touched the whiskers at the corner of his mouth and was about to speak when the scholar who was drinking tea suddenly put down his teacup and looked at them.

"Tomorrow, we will leave Chang'an and go outside to search for fragments of the demon star!"

Outside the door, the old donkey rushed over excitedly, jumping up and down with the rein in its mouth, and Lu Liangsheng patted it on the head with his hand.

"I said tomorrow!!"

The old donkey's long ears drooped, he bit the rein, walked out step by step and turned his head twice, crawled down to the eaves, looked back from time to time, rested his head on the overlapping forelimbs, closed his eyes, and sighed wearily.

However, after a while, when he heard something suddenly, the old donkey shook his ears, got up and poked his head, and cautiously reached into the door. In the hall, where there were still people, there was a burst of noise.

The Taoist, Toad, and Xiyou went up and down the stairs, entered and exited the compartments, packed up their belongings, and carried down the big and small bags, piled up like a hill.

...... The student of Lu University also stood among them with a bag on his shoulders.
