Great Sui Guoshi

Excited.

Chapter 5 does not mention the courage of the toad

Regardless of whether you are a cultivator or a dragon and a phoenix among people, the Kyushu in the world is not invaded by monsters, and the safety of thousands of people is on your shoulders, which is a great pressure.

Lu Liangsheng actually didn't expect to leave so soon. First, he hadn't been out of Chang'an for a long time, and his temperament of wandering mountains and rivers in the past made him feel a little helpless. Second, he didn't dare to delay the matter of the fragments of the demon star, so he stayed close to him. He himself, as well as his relatives and friends, may not be able to clean up the debris that has scattered everywhere in the world, so he can only contact the cultivators from all walks of life to do this. No matter what, this is a great merit, and there must be no one. will refuse.

It's just that the misfortune left by the master in the past has not been completely resolved. Lu Liangsheng is going to go to Qishan first to return the mountain of magic weapons and elixir. Instead of wasting it there, it is better to return it, and reduce the old hatred by a few points.

Toad Taoist, Li Suian, Shelong, Zhu Ganglu, Yan Chixia, and Lao Sun gathered together, and Lu Liangsheng discussed with them in detail about going out. Who would stay to take care of Zuo Zhengyang and Yang Guang, and who would go south? Who goes east.

"In this way, Yan will stay here for the time being, and when Lao Zuo wakes up, we will go on the road together, and search for the fragments of the demon star along the way."

Next to him, the Taoist raised his hand, waved it in front of the scholar, and put his feet off the stool: "I am familiar with Chengyunmen now. I will go north to look for it and explain the matter. What do you think?"

"I can see it."

Lu Liangsheng thought about it for a while, then nodded. After all, Old Sun's master inherited the Chengyun Gate in the north, and he was more or less passionate about it. He went to explain the reason first, so he naturally wanted to talk a lot.

"Fellow Taoist Yan stay here until Qianwei wakes up, and grandson goes to Chengyunmen, what about you?" The scholar looked at Li Suian, who was holding a sword, and Shelong, who was carrying a bulging bag. The latter bought a lot in Chang'an Things, I want to go back to southern Xinjiang.

"National teacher, Shelong followed An to discuss, went southwest, and went home along the way, and asked the clansmen to help search together. There are still more than ten wizards in my clan, who can contribute their strength."

Li Suian nodded in agreement, "It's always good to have more people to help."

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng pondered for a while, then agreed with the two of them, and then made up his mind again, each took their luggage and took advantage of the night sky full of stars, and left one after another.

Seeing his apprentice and the Wuman Shelong disappear into the night, Lu Liangsheng withdrew his gaze, turned around and cupped his hands at the bearded man in the hall, "Fellow Daoist Yan, I'm sorry."

"What are you talking about, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and protecting one's safety, isn't that what my generation of cultivators should do?"

Over there, Yan Chixia caressed the big beard around her chin, laughed loudly, and arched her hands boldly: "Please!"

"Please!"

Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand, picked up the master on the ground and put it on his shoulder, pulled the rein handed by the old donkey, and walked to the outside of the mountain gate with the tinkling copper bells. The soldiers on duty naturally recognized this figure and cupped their hands greet.

"Meet the national teacher."

"En." Lu Liangsheng also responded with a smile, and went all the way to the fence by the lake, and called Lao Jiao to the shimmering water reflecting the moonlight.

The reed caressed, and ripples formed on the surface of the water, distorting the reflection of the moon, a black shadow cruising under the water, and in the nearby reeds, there was a burst of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and a flock of ducks scattered.

"What's the matter with the national teacher calling out late at night?" In the reeds, accompanied by the voice, a middle-aged man in a black robe came out from inside after straightening his robes.

In the few months since he came to Chang'an, he rescued the people of the Wei and Jing rivers, the old Jiao's road was soaring, there was a little smoke around his body, and he could faintly smell a trace of incense, and approached energetically, arching his hands.

Lu Liangsheng also went to salute, and said with a smile: "I do have something to ask, I will go on a long journey, go out for a while, the city and the two rivers are in danger, please help me take care of them."

Afterwards, he told the other party the purpose of this trip, the matter of the demon star, and the disturbance caused by the walking corpses in the city the day before yesterday, Lao Jiao naturally understood the danger, so he responded immediately.

"National teacher, let it go out."

It’s not easy to have an excellent practice place, and there are incense offerings, and it will be sealed in the future. It’s much better than the hidden cultivation in the deep mountains and old pools. Naturally, it takes this place very seriously, how can it be easily destroyed?

Over there, Lu Liangsheng thanked Lao Jiao with his hand, and chatted with Lao Jiao for a while. The Taoist came out of the Taoist temple with his things in his arms to meet him, then bid farewell to Lao Jiao, stepped on the old donkey and left.

Passing through the quiet city at night, the moonlight shrouded the top of the city dimly, the soldier standing on the wall yawned a long way down, the scholar walking through the street cast a spell through the wall, riding an old donkey, and behind him The squatting Taoists walked through the thick city gate together.

Acridine huh~~~

The old donkey sniffed the night wind blowing around with his mouth and nose up, and looked at the dark forest and foothills. He neighed and roared excitedly. At the same time as his front hooves were digging up the soil, the toad on the scholar's shoulder heard an excited neighing. , the eyelids trembled, and quickly slid down, jumped over the Taoist's thigh, quickly jumped to the bookshelf, turned into the compartment, and tied the rope inside to his waist with familiarity.

Outside, the hooves of the donkey pawing the ground fell heavily. Lu Liangsheng subconsciously squeezed the reins tightly, clamping the belly of the donkey with his heels, and the old donkey neighed excitedly. With a swish, a long smoke rolled up and walked along the official road leading to the northwest. It turned into a blue-white electric light and disappeared instantly in the night.

The moonlight shone dimly across the rolling hills.

Qishan Mountain is not too far away from Chang'an. In the gloomy moonlight shining on the forest and mountain roads, lightning flashes in the distance for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, it arrives at the foot of a solitary peak.

The Taoist immediately covered his mouth and nose, jumped off the donkey's back, and ran to the weeds beside him, vomited profusely. Lu Liangsheng shook his head and fell off the donkey's back, let go of the rein, and patted the donkey's buttocks. Let it play by itself.

Looking at the back figure squatting in the distance, he smiled and said, "It's fine if you sit often, look at my master." Looking at the bookshelf, there was no response, and the scholar called out: "Master?"

The bookshelf on the ground squeaked, and the small door of the compartment opened, and Daoist Toad was paralyzed inside, with a webbed resting on the crooked gourd, his tongue hanging by the side of his mouth, and white foam was overflowing from his mouth. , trickled down...

.......

ooh-

The sound of wolves sounded from the distant cliff, the moonlight shone through the dense and disordered trees and grass leaves, and the sound of rustling footsteps meandered up the mountain road.

Lu Liangsheng walked in front with his master on his shoulders. The Taoist took a dead branch from somewhere and swept it around in the grass to see if there was any game for supper.

Taoist Ha turned his face from his apprentice's shoulder, and narrowed his eyes: "Don't look for it, there is no game in this mountain for a long time."

"..." The Taoist looked at the grass without even the sound of insects, and threw away the dead branch in his hand, "What will I eat in the middle of the night, I vomited all the way, and now I'm hungry."

"There is something to eat when we get to the top, and the pills can be eaten as a meal."

Lu Liangsheng said with a smile, pushing away the branches and weeds that blocked the way, and the master's original cave was in front of him. The Taoist touched the tip of his beard and hummed, "How much can there be?" The toad on the scholar's shoulder Having already landed on the ground, he ran over pattering on the ground, looking at the towering stone gate, toad's mouth wriggled quickly and chanted a mantra.

rumbling...  

Amidst the heavy movement, Shimen pressed the ground and moved slowly to the right, a multicolored light shone on the Taoist's face, looking at the piles of magical medicine pills, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground.

"Old mother of Yue'er...Lao Lu, how many cultivators did your master steal?"

Taoist Toad glanced at him, swaggered in with one webbed on his back.

"How could you, a little Taoist, know about the bravery of the old man?"

Chapter 5 Acting Separately

In the dark cave, five colors of brilliance emanated from the mountains of magic treasures, elixirs, and classics, like a moonlight shining on it, cutting out a short shadow of Taoist Toad and pasting it on the cave wall.

"Master?"

Lu Liangsheng pushed aside the thick vines hanging from the hole, pulled out the torch and blew out a flame, moved it to the palm of his hand to illuminate the surroundings, and turned to call the Taoist who was sitting paralyzed on the ground.

"Why are you still sitting..."

"I'm coming."

The Taoist got up and patted his buttocks, followed in, looked at a pile of magic medicine pills that were taller than him, walked around, looked up and down, clicked his tongue, tilted his head and looked down.

"Old Toad, do you want to return these to others?"

On the side, Lu Liangsheng walked past him holding the firelight, took a porcelain bottle, threw it in his hand, and took over the conversation: "I talked about this with the head teacher of Chengyunmen before, and now we just happened to do it together. It’s just too much, and I don’t know who it belongs to, maybe Master doesn’t know, here, let’s fill my stomach with a bottle first.”

"I don't know the effect of any medicine, so let me take it?"

Sun Yingxian quickly reached out and grabbed the porcelain bottle thrown in mid-air. There was no sticker on it. He didn't know what the medicinal pill inside was for. Seeing something familiar, he dropped a book in his hand, moved his feet, and grabbed a round bead half buried under several magic weapons.

The thumb is bigger, as if feeling the warmth of a human hand, a halo of blue light appears, illuminating the face of the Taoist's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks.

"Hiss...why does it look familiar..."

Not far from him, the frog-webbed frog was looking wistfully at the mountains of magic treasures and pills. Those secret tomes would be gone if they were gone. Anyway, he knew all the spells in them, and felt a little distressed about the rest, so he turned back to the frog. Webbed picked up a porcelain bottle and sighed.

"I have saved half my life, Liang Sheng, can I keep half of it?"

Lu Liangsheng walked to the sighing master and squatted down, also looked at the 'Xiaoshan' in front of him and laughed.

"I know Master is reluctant to give up, but these things are just eating ashes if they stay here. They are useless at all. It's better to send them back. First, it can ease the relationship with those cultivators, and second, it can fight against the demon star fragments. , they play a better role than putting them here.”

After finishing speaking, the scholar was silent for a moment: "...Besides, it doesn't belong to us."

"Oh, I know it as a teacher." Taoist Toad sighed again, and while turning his back, Sun Yingxian's voice sounded: "Hiss...why does this look familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Toad subconsciously tilted his head, saw a small bead held in his palm, opened his mouth, and flicked his long tongue over, instantly rolling the bead filled with azure blue light into his mouth.

"Old Toad, what are you doing?"

The old grandson roared, and Lu Liangsheng also looked over: "Master?"

Over there, Taoist Toad had pearls in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging and twitching, and he could speak indistinctly.

"Of course it's to eat.... delicious goo... can't be wasted..."

The Taoist squatted there with his head tilted, glanced at the scholar Lu University with some doubts, then looked at the 'Xiaoshan' in front of him and scratched his cheeks a few times.

"Can it be eaten? I remember that it seems to be a magic weapon... It seems that I have too little knowledge of the world."

He muttered a few words, pouted his buttocks and continued to rummage in the 'hill' to see if there was anything that could be used. Seeing that the apprentice and the little Taoist didn't pay attention, Toad took a step back and turned sideways to spit out what was in his mouth. Lifting the leg is a kick, kicking it into the corner.

He came back as if he had nothing to do, stood between the two of them, and coughed twice: "Liangsheng, why don't you classify them, and put them together in your Qiankun sleeve, and then throw them together to the old man of Chengyunmen, and let them go to work. "

Sorting and categorizing is indeed a bit cumbersome, not to mention such things, when the time comes, they will be put into the sleeves of Qiankun, and they will not be piled up together.

Lu Liangsheng nodded: "Alright." Standing up, let the Taoist half of his body lean into the 'hill', leaving only his butt exposed outside, and retreated to the side.

"Wait a minute!"

The latter pushed the magic treasure books on both sides vigorously, and withdrew from the inside, but still had a stick in his mouth, dragged them outside together, and weighed them a few times in his hands.

The shaft resembles a cane, and the surface of the stick is engraved with talismans.

"This ghost-torching stick is most suitable for my own way." Lao Sun happily held it in his hand, and moved away from the side to rub it up and down.

"If you like it, keep it."

Lu Liangsheng took out the unicorn cloak from the bookshelf outside and put it on his body. This cloak is also considered a magic weapon, but it is too ostentatious, and he would hardly wear it normally.

Walking past the old grandson, standing in front of the 'hill', the thought rose, and when I raised the wide sleeve of my right hand, the yin and yang stroking on it seemed to rotate, and the cuff suddenly swelled up, and there were mountains of magic weapons, classics, pills in front of me. The medicine crackled, shook and bumped, loosened towards Lu Liangsheng, and fell down. The moment they collided and bounced, they flew into the air one after another, and then shrunk one by one, and were swarmed and sucked into the scholar's cuff.

In a short while, the hills that were still piled up disappeared completely.

Daoist Hama let out a breath, seeing that the pile of things was still gone after all, he was a bit reluctant to give up, but for some reason suddenly felt a sense of steadfastness.

Soon, after tidying up, the two of them, a monster and a donkey finally felt sleepy, so they made a bed on the floor in the cave. Lu Liangsheng took off his coat, spread it on the ground, and patted it: "Master, you sleep on top of your clothes."

Toad, who was still a little melancholy, turned his head and looked at the apprentice who laid the floor for him, grinning at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed, with such an apprentice, why would the old man want those things.

Lying down on Liangsheng's clothes comfortably, he yawned, Shen Shen walked over, and beside him, Lu Liangsheng smiled, and greeted the Taoist over there with his stomach rumbling, and lay down next to Master, closing his eyes.

In the night sky, the clear moon was gradually covered by clouds, and the dark forest at the foot of the mountain rang softly. Soon after, light came from the east, pushing away the darkness of the world. Birds sang softly and flew over the treetops in the distance. On the platform outside the cave, the old donkey hummed Humming, screaming, flicking its bald tail, chewing tender grass leisurely.

In the cave, Lu Liangsheng picked up the master who was still sleeping on the ground, put on a green shirt, went outside, looked at the mountains in the distance illuminated by the morning light, and the birds flew over the mountains in the distance, and stretched comfortably , put Taoist Toad on the bookshelf, and turned around to wake Taoist up.

After lighting the bonfire, they went down the mountain together after they had a makeshift breakfast. When they were approaching the boundary of Chang'an, Sun Yingxian looked at the old donkey with a pale face, and waved his hands repeatedly to make Lu Liangsheng stop.

"Just here, just here."

When the old donkey stopped, the Taoist staggered down, reached out his hand to his chest, grabbed a few yellow talismans and patted them in the scholar's hand.

"Let's go to Chengyunmen first. If you miss me, just burn the paper and call me."

Not sloppy, he cupped his hands, rolled up his wide sleeves, staggered and flew up, and fell to the distant forest, before Lu Liangsheng could go far, he suddenly ran back.

"I forgot to take my food."

I rummaged through the bookshelf, took two large pancakes and stuffed them into the cloth pocket at my waist, then turned and left, and said from a distance, "Remember to burn the paper!"

It wasn't until the sound dissipated and no one came back again that Lu Liangsheng started on the road again. In Wanshou Temple, the route discussed by everyone, Yan Chixia waited for Zuo Zhengyang to wake up, and went south to the Jianghe area. Li Suian and Shelong went to the southwestern Miao border , Zhu Gangman went to the west, and Lao Sun went to the north.

The only thing left was the east, which was the direction Lu Liangsheng wanted to go, which happened to be where the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was located, so he stopped by to visit Monk Fajing, and if the old monk from Zhenhai wanted to meet, he might be able to convince him to help him a little bit.

Chapter 5 Nineteen Visiting the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple

Go east to the border of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is more than 400 li. After leaving Jingzhao, go along the Yellow River, use the magic of shrinking the land to an inch, go all out, cross the East, Hanoi, and Jijun, and change boats on the way to the other side of the Yellow River. It also took almost six days.

After entering Sikou Pass, go north to the official road. Along the way, the undulating mountains, the villages and townships with smoke from the yellow forests, all have different customs and tastes from the northwest or the south of the Yangtze River.

On the flat ground, the official roads extend in all directions, and occasionally there are foot rest shops beside the road, and the sounds of cars, livestock, and people around are noisy.

"Erniu, look after the goods, uncle will bring you pancakes!"

"...My batch of goods was brought back from the south all the way. Good guy, I ran into robbers on the road, and almost fell into it with people and cars!"

"Then have you ever been to Qixia Mountain?"

"I don't know, I went to Tianzhi and received some goods, but there was a mutiny. Fortunately, the army to counter the rebellion came quickly, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get out of the city."

In the noisy tea shed, when the waiter was cleaning the table, clearing the dishes and chopsticks and taking them to the earthen stove, he heard a different copper bell from the official road in the southwest. Looking outside, there seems to be a faint singing voice, which makes the diners in the shed subconsciously tilt their heads.
