Great Sui Guoshi

"Old demon, what is the little toad laughing at?"

After folding the quilt, Qi You sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked at the toad lying there smiling with its mouth open to the back of its head. The woman tilted her head and was curious about what dream he had.

"Maybe I dreamed of something delicious."

Lu Liangsheng sorted out a few books, and when he turned to the book left by his mentor, Uncle Hua, for learning, he couldn't help but think of the family surnamed Cui who was reincarnated by his mentor.

Thinking about it, the scholar smiled, Qiyou opened his eyes wide, leaned over from the edge of the bed and looked carefully: "Old demon, are you dreaming too?"

"Well... it's still a daydream."

Lu Liangsheng reached out and touched her head, took the "Ben Xue", turned and walked out of the room, went all the way outside, flicked his sleeves, a table and chair in the hall followed the scholar out, and landed firmly on a nearby Under a big tree, the old donkey crawling in the shade shook its long ears, seeing that the owner was coming with a book, he immediately swung his tail, lowered his head back to the ground, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

Leaning against the door frame, the Taoist ate fried beans with a 'click', shook his head, went back to the hall, brewed a cup of tea, handed it to Lu Liangsheng, and then propped his chin on the table, looking at the scholar who was flipping through the books.

"Really rely on your bookish body to suppress the demon star?"

"There is no best way at present, we can only try."

"That's up to you. If you can't hold on anymore, remember to tell Ben Dao."

The Taoist didn't bother, he got up and walked outside with his hands on the back of his head, "I'm going out to go shopping, take your time."

Lu Liangsheng raised his face, watched the Taoist turn to go down the stone steps, shook his head, reached for the brewed tea next to him, took a sip, and read the words and sentences he had read countless times.

"Standing up and making a statement lies in the heart, accumulating anger and moving others is because the heart is not right.... The mind is absent, turning a blind eye, hearing but not smelling, eating without knowing the taste, this is called self-cultivation lies in rectifying the heart..."

The hot air of the tea curls up, the wind blows into the forest, and the shade cast by the trees shakes slightly. In the clear sound of reading, there is also the rustling sound of the branches.

Birds flying across the sky landed on the branches and sang crisply. Looking at the figure holding the book below, it seemed that they saw a faint golden light enveloped, and flew down the branches without fear and landed on the table. The bird stood quietly on the table, closed its eyes and listened quietly to the scholar's clear voice.

Immersed in the sea of ​​books, Lu Liangsheng felt the awe-inspiring aura enveloping his whole body, suppressing the evil spirit that was about to move in his body in a gentle way.

'It worked...'

Um?Lu Liangsheng frowned suddenly, and the clear sound of reading also stopped. The bird listening quietly over there, came back to his senses, and quickly flapped his wings and flew back to the tree.

The scholar in the shade frowned and spread out his palms. His Nascent Soul Realm unexpectedly began to loosen at this moment.

'The demon star...can not only enhance the Taoism of monsters...but also enhance the cultivation base of people who practice Taoism? '

Even though he suppressed the evil spirit of the demon star, he could obviously feel that after the other party fell silent, he kept trying to extend and leverage his cultivation base. After a long time, without Lu Liangsheng practicing himself, he might be able to enter the next level smoothly.

It's no wonder that after Chen Fu was possessed that day, his Taoism strengthened so terrifyingly. Leaving aside the evil spirit of the demon star, he is really a rare treasure for practitioners.

'...Unfortunately, this kind of thing will only make people sink deeper and deeper until they can't extricate themselves. '

As he was thinking about it, the originally silent evil spirit surged up like a flood. Lu Liangsheng's eyes turned red instantly. He hurriedly used his mana and applied it to his forehead to suppress the evil spirit a little. Just pushed it back down again.

"No... stay in Chang'an, if you can't suppress it suddenly, you will definitely cause trouble..."

Lu Liangsheng calmed down, and the words of the sages in his mouth became faster and faster, the tabletop on which his hands were resting on shook 'bang bang', and at a certain moment, the whole table exploded with a loud 'bang bang', and the sawdust wreckage flew to the ground. Splash around.

"...Back to Qixia Mountain...with the help of the Spirit Gathering Formation, we can suppress this evil star, and maybe we can hit the next big realm."

The autumn wind blows, the hanging branches sway slowly, the old donkey opened his eyes suspiciously, and yawned in boredom, watching the owner not far away sitting on the chair, under the hanging hands, the table shattered to the ground .

The old donkey shook his ears, and suddenly turned his gaze away. In the direction he looked, a figure in armor came up from the mountain gate below with a sword in his arms. When he saw the scholar sitting upright under the shade of the tree, he arched his hands.

"Li Yuan paid a visit to the national teacher."

"Don't be too polite, just stand up and talk." Lu Liangsheng waved his hand wearily, "Shu De is here, what's the matter?"

The man with the armor and the sword over there was Li Yuan. He glanced at the broken wood on the ground, swallowed his saliva, lowered his eyes, and quickly answered.

"Reporting to the national teacher, His Royal Highness asked the minister to inform the national teacher that tomorrow is five watch, which is the day of the enthronement ceremony."

Enthronement ceremony?

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, carefully counting the time, but it might not be tomorrow, so he nodded immediately, got up and helped Li Yuan straighten up.

"Go back and report to the prince, Lu Liangsheng will definitely come to watch the ceremony tomorrow."

Chapter 544 Ending is not cutting off, once you go to the mountains and rivers

The emperor's grand trip, small burial, funeral, and burial into the imperial mausoleum will be completed on the third day. The rest is the new emperor's ascension to the throne. They got up early and gathered outside the imperial city.

At four o'clock, cock crows sounded in Quchifang in the distance. In the blue sky, candlelight illuminated the window lattice, and in the slightly open gap, Lu Liangsheng held a brush to outline the outline of a person on the drawing paper.

Taoist Toad also got up early, propped his flat chin, squeezed his sleepy eyes, and looked blankly at the apprentice at the desk: "Liangsheng, what are you painting for so long?"

Then, he yawned again.

"Draw me."

Squeezing into the wind through the window gap, the swaying fire light illuminated the handsome face, Lu Liangsheng stopped the brush in his hand, stretched out the inkstone to dip it, and fell on the painting scroll. The opened ink burst into light blue light.

"The evil spirit of the demon star is much more vicious than I expected before. Since I am going to go back to Qixia Mountain, I don't know how long it will take. There are some things here that must be properly arranged... There is still a cause and effect, which should also be settled."

"What cause and effect?"

The toad, who struggled to climb up the table, took up the frog webs and walked to the side of the painting with its white belly sticking out. It leaned over and took a look at the characters on the painting. Hanging to the forehead, wearing a green robe and white clothes, with a fish-patterned sapphire pendant hanging from his waist, he looks exactly like Lu Liangsheng, but with a lot of human fireworks.

"With your painting skills, you can roam the world for your teacher, and you can gallop over the mountains and rivers. I have never seen any monk who can paint so realistically like you. Liangsheng, when you see, you can also draw a picture for your teacher." , Hanging it on the wall is just for face, well... the old man has to hang it in the middle, so people can see it as soon as they enter the door!"

The green ink outlines the details of the painting and embellishes the texture of the jade pendant. Lu Liangsheng smiled: "When I go back, I will draw a picture for Master."

While talking, the tip of the pen under his hand continued to wander, hooked the hem of the robe and stroked it, and walked across the street holding the shaft with ten fingers, looking around, as if looking for something in the crowd.

Over there, Taoist Toad read it for a while, then sat on the two books next to him, crossing his short legs.

"You haven't said who you are with."

"Actually, Master should be able to guess it, and you know it too." Lu Liangsheng looked at the already similar frame, and added a few strokes of the surrounding street scene, the staggered street scene in the distance, and a mansion can be vaguely seen on the adjacent street. The word "Min" is written on the door plaque.

"In fact, she met me very early. When we were growing up, we didn't have much contact with each other, but we got to know each other because of Pudu Cihang. But after all, I can't have too much fate with that girl. Firstly, I might be in deep trouble, and secondly, I won’t be able to grow old together..."

Embellished with green ink, the eaves stretch, sparkling tiles and wild cats run around, on the noisy long street, the pen tip draws a variety of worldly scenes, which sets off the scholar in white and green robes among the crowd.

After finishing the last stroke, Lu Liangsheng put down the brush in his hand and blew on the wet ink on the painting.

"Later, the relationship with me became deeper and deeper, and I also stood up for me when I was in trouble. Marriage is hard to come by, but the cause and effect are too deep, and there must be an end."

"You want to cut off the cause and effect with that woman?" Taoist Ha looked at the apprentice opposite, and also remembered the bride sitting in the sedan chair in his heart, nodded: "It's right to cut off."

"Not to cut off, but to end."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the portrait of himself on the table, and when there were a few more cock crows outside, he suddenly stretched out his index finger, and with his other hand, his nails ran across the index finger, exuding a drop of bright red.

"Liangsheng, who are you?" Taoist Ha watched the scholar drag the drop of blood into the air, stood up subconsciously, and then sat back down after realizing what the apprentice was going to do.

"It's also a way."

The flames flickered, and Lu Liangsheng pinched the dagger, and slowly dropped the blood droplets hanging in the air to the frame. On the portrait of himself, the moment he touched it, he melted into the portrait.

For a moment, the streets and characters in the painting became vivid, different from the usual paintings, just like a living little world in the painting.

"That's it... just let him end this karma for me."

Lu Liangsheng looked at himself in the painting, smiled, put away the scroll, pushed open the window and put it on the window frame, turned around and went to the basin stand to wash up, the unicorn cloak silently floated out from the bookshelf in the corner and put it on the scholar.

The pitch-black night gradually turned into green, and soon, Lu Liangsheng walked out of the Longevity Temple, took the carriage waiting outside, and drove to the imperial city. People were already running outside at this time.

Passing by the street of the Baiguan Mansion, the plaque of the Min Mansion went back from his sight. Lu Liangsheng remembered what happened just now, sighed, and put down the curtain. After half a stick of incense, he passed the Yanxi Gate and did not see Baiguan After asking about the time of the soldiers driving the car, they found out that after the fifth watch, the enthronement ceremony had already begun.

After passing the Yanxi Gate, we arrived at the Chengtian Gate outside Daxing Palace. It was already bright outside, and the soldiers who were driving jumped out of the chariot, and whispered outside:

"Master, here we are."

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng lifted the curtain of the car and walked out, glanced at the towering palace gate, and strode over. The palace guards with the handles on both sides knew who it was, and let them pass without checking.

"Master, the grand ceremony has already begun."

A school lieutenant standing at the gate of the palace saw the national teacher passing by, and couldn't help reminding him in a low voice. Lu Liangsheng turned his face, and the other party's kindness was naturally felt. Road, the soldiers patrolling along the way, and the archers guarding the palace wall were much stricter than usual. When they saw the national teacher walking in the palace road below, they quickly turned their eyes to other directions.

Regarding why these soldiers did this, Lu Liangsheng probably understands that ordinary people either yearn for people who can practice Taoism, or they are taboo and avoid them far away. What's more, he is now a teacher of a country. I don't feel anything in my heart. If I am reported by others, I will be punished.

This is the rule in the palace...

After passing the Chengtianmen palace road, outside the Taiji Hall in front of the field of vision, hundreds of officials gathered, and they knelt down under the high platform in a dark mass. A figure standing above held a jujube in his hand and faced the morning sun shining down, saying heroic words .

Lu Liangsheng stood in the distance with his sleeves behind his shoulders and did not go there. He just quietly watched Yang Guang praying to heaven.

I hope that in the future the prince will be another enlightened and ambitious new emperor after the previous emperor.

Chapter 545 The Heart Is in the Far Mountains

"The gate of heaven has been opened, and all civil and military personnel entered the palace to congratulate the new emperor—"

The morning light broke through the gaps in the clouds and the golden color was pushed along the sacrificial high platform to the Taiji Palace. While the flags lined up all around were fluttering and fluttering, the eunuchs made a loud noise, and under the altar, a vast area of ​​civil and military officials stood up one after another and divided into two rows. Walk up the stone steps of Tai Chi Palace along the left and right sides of the altar.

A team of patrolling palace guards, the leading general saw Lu Liangsheng standing far away in a black robe, straightened his back quickly, waved his hands to make the subordinates behind him wait in place, and trotted up quickly, Arch your hands.

"Yu Wenhua and pay a visit to the national teacher."

Looking at the emperor who led all the officials into the Taiji Palace, Lu Liangsheng withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at the general who bowed and bowed, "raise your face."

The man said: "Yes." He lowered his hand, pressed the handle of the knife and straightened up. He looked exactly like the guard in the palace that Yang Jian had seen the night he passed away. rubbed.

"Your Majesty and all the officials have entered the Taiji Palace, the national teacher might as well move to watch the ceremony."

"That's a matter for the court, so it's inconvenient for me to go."

Lu Liangsheng smiled, turned back to look at the Taiji Palace over there, reached out his hand and took out a piece of jade with red tassels from his sleeve, and handed it to Yu Wenhuaji who was beside him: "Give it to Your Majesty for me, and you will be enthroned as Your Majesty." Congratulations from Dabao."

The latter bowed down, carefully took the jade pendant in front of him with both hands, followed the Tai Chi Palace that the national teacher looked at, and said in a low voice: "National teacher, your status is respected, and your majesty has mentioned it on weekdays. Go, maybe it can still be listened to and used in the court, and it is more important than that arrogant Duke of Yue."

"On weekdays, Duke Yue is very arrogant?"

Lu Liangsheng never thought that he could serve as a court official in the court, just be a good national teacher. As for Yu Wenhua and the Yang Su in his mouth, he became a little curious. In the past, Duke Yue was not as arrogant as this population said.

Presumably it should be relatively harsh to the people below.

While thinking about it, Yu Wenhuaji turned his head and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:

"It's okay to be arrogant and indulgent on the fair day of the Yue Kingdom. Today, at His Majesty's grand ceremony, Duke Yue actually handed the jade seal to His Majesty. The first one knelt down, if not for the Duke of Yue who was a servant of the Dragon of the two dynasties and the uncle of His Majesty's family, it would be impossible for the civil and military generals who founded the country to fight him..."

Over there, Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and raised his hand to tell the man to shut up.

"In the future, don't mention this matter before your Majesty. Your Majesty knows how the Duke of Yue is. He has made great contributions. He is also a veteran of the two dynasties and a famous general who founded the country. It is normal to be a little arrogant, let alone an uncle of His Majesty's family. Your Majesty handing over the jade seal means that the elders are handing over the power to the younger generation, so you can't tolerate guessing like this!"

Na Yu Wenhuaji turned pale with fright, quickly lowered his head, and cupped his hands: "Yes, what the national teacher reminded is to turn nonsense words and tell the national teacher not to take it seriously."

"Well, let's stop this matter here, hand over the jade pendant to His Majesty, and let me know that I have something to go back to Qixia Mountain."

The audience has also seen the ceremony, and handing the jade pendant with mana to Yang Guang is also to suppress the possibility that there may be a resurgence of the spirit of the demon star in his body, and to send away Yu Wenhuaji. Chengcun returned to the Wanshou Temple, and called the Taoist priest and master to leave Chang'an and return to his hometown of Qixia Mountain.

Hearing that he was going to leave, Taoist Toad, who was wearing short hexagrams, laughed excitedly. He folded the recliner and threw it into the bookshelf. While laughing, he ran to the small closet, rummaged through the clothes he was about to leave, and looked back at him as he was tidying up Apprentice saluting.

"When I think of Qixia Mountain as a teacher, I think of the food cooked by your mother... hahaha... suck~~"

Master is getting more and more lazy...

The corners of Lu Liangsheng's mouth twitched twice, he took off the unicorn cloak on his body, folded it and placed it on the other side of the bookshelf, and called Qi You who was pulling out the Moon Misty Sword, "Don't make trouble, go and see the old grandson." No, it's time to hit the road."

'Ah.....um~~ah...'

Amidst Yuelong's low moaning and roaring, Qiyou let out an 'oh', and snapped the sword back into its sheath, Yuelong finally let out a long moan, and was hung limply on the bookshelf, twitching there sluggishly. smoke.

Under the attic, the old donkey heard the movement, felt a different tone, opened his mouth and neighed loudly, flicked his bald tail, rushed to a small room under the eaves, and ran out of the hall with the rein in his mouth , raised his hooves and jumped back and forth, looking at the owner who was carrying the bookshelf downstairs, and turned around excitedly.

Lu Liangsheng patted it on the head, threw the scholar to the donkey's back and hung it up, and Taoist Toad said from the window above: "Liangsheng, accept him as a teacher!"

A black shadow dragged the small wardrobe and swished down from the window sill. Lu Liangsheng quickly waved a light blue magic light, and firmly picked up Taoist Toad and the small wardrobe that fell together, and put it on the donkey's back.

"Master, you don't need to be so excited." Lu Liangsheng took the small wardrobe and put it on the upper floor of the cubicle. Taoist Toad, who was standing on the donkey's back, shook his head, jumped to the side of the Moon Misty Sword, tied a rope to his bulging waist, hum said.

"Master, I miss the meals cooked by your mother... I am tired of the little Taoist."

"Hey, old toad, that's what you said, don't yell at me on the road and ask me to cook!"

The Taoist carried a big bag of things, came out behind Xiyou, wiped his mustache, and took out a few traveling amulets and handed them to Lu Liangsheng. Fushui County couldn't buy some gifts for Xiaoxian.

Qiyou on the side didn't want to leave, so he hesitated for a moment, stared at Lu Liangsheng quietly for a while, and still rolled up black smoke and turned into a brush and flew to the scholar's hand, and put it in his sleeve.

After tidying up, Lu Liangsheng raised his sleeve lightly, and the open door closed with a bang, and a seal script with the word 'Chi' flashed across the air.

After finishing the last step, he took the old donkey and walked slowly to the mountain gate, told the soldiers on both sides, and then went to the Furong Pond, called the old Jiao to tell his itinerary, maybe he would retreat in Qixia Mountain for a while.
