Great Sui Guoshi

"Master Lu, take your leave."

Lu Liangsheng cupped his hands, turned around and walked to the innermost part of the cave. From a distance, he saw a chubby figure sitting on a pile of rocks, stretching out his hand to press on the white wolf demon's head, talking to him while healing his wounds.

"...When did this old man lie to you? He said that day that the demon core had recovered. You all didn't believe me. Why are you blaming me?"

"Ah~"

"Sigh, the old man didn't say anything about you. Anyway, the demon pill has been completed, and it is for me. It can be used as a snack to beat the teeth, and you have merit!"

Daoist Toad exerted a little force on his hand, and the corner of Gongsun Liao's mouth twitched several times in pain. He was about to turn his face and curse twice, when the old Toad held his head and turned back, just in time to see the scholar coming over.

"Your apprentice is here."

Um?The chubby old man was stunned for a moment, seeing the approaching figure out of the corner of his eye, he quickly spread his legs apart, pressed the top of the old wolf's head with one hand, smoke rose, and pressed the other hand on his knee, straightening his body, with a dignified voice.

"The crazy monkey is gone?"

"Let's go." Lu Liangsheng smiled, nodded to the White Wolf King, and then arched his hands to salute the master who was sitting on the stone pile with a big horse and a golden knife. Taoist Toad nodded and pressed his fat hand on his knee clap.

"If Liangsheng hadn't stopped him, he might as well let that monkey taste the power of his master's purple gold gourd. If we meet again in the future, Liangsheng must not intervene."

"Yes, Liangsheng, remember."

Lu Liangsheng responded, smiled and said, "By the way, master, there is no need to meet him. The monkey just returned to his disciple's sleeve pocket because his hair became hairy before. Since the master is not satisfied yet, then I... ...."

As he spoke, the scholar stretched out his hands to remove his wide sleeves, Taoist Toad stared at him, and interrupted hastily: "Wait!" Realizing that he had lost his composure, he straightened his face, and his tone was softening.

"I'm tired of being a teacher today. You see, I'm healing this old wolf again. I had another fight just now. Wherever I have time, let's forget about today. Don't fight, and another day."

Hahaha--

Gongsun Liao, who was being pressed on the top of his head to heal his wounds, burst into laughter. For a moment, his head hurt, and he hissed in pain. Seeing the old toad next to him with fierce eyes and a ferocious face, he quickly closed his mouth and suppressed his smile. Wei Jin was sitting and not looking sideways.

The 200-year-old demon made Lu Liangsheng, Hong Lian, and Qi You purse their lips and chuckle. Hong Lian couldn't hold back any longer. , but saw a lonely figure lying there leaning against the mountain wall with only a skin left.

The smile gradually faded.

On the side, Lu Liangsheng turned back and called her: "Hong Lian, what are you looking at?"

"she!"

Hearing Hong Lian's voice, Lu Liangsheng followed his gaze to look over there. Hua Hongyi was leaning against the cave wall, eyes drooping weakly, and was also looking at everything here.

"Young master, I want to talk to her, can I?"

Regarding Hua Hongyi, Lu Liangsheng also had complicated emotions. He pursed his lips, and the playful atmosphere just now dissipated. He sighed, shook Hong Lian's hand, and said in a low voice:

"Go."

Chapter 592 A stroke of vitality

The clear moon sinks to the west and disappears into the clouds, and the east gradually becomes blue and dark. In the cave lit by fire, a crawling four-legged snake writhes its soles and quickly hides in the crevices of the stones. The dripping blood drips down the stalactite. rock.

Lu Liangsheng looked at Hong Lian who was walking towards the painted skin demon. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back. The master at the side was busy healing Gongsun Liao, but he had nothing to do, so he turned around. Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw three figures lying on the ground and moving slowly.

"stand up."

The scholar spoke coldly, frightened the prostrate figure froze, look at me, I look at you, slowly stood up from the ground, reflecting the fire on the wall, it was the one who fought with Gongsun Liao before. Three monsters.

"That... this son."

Among the three monsters, the monster with the sheep's head rubbed his hands vigorously, swallowed his saliva with a 'goo', and his body was trembling slightly when he saw the scholar approaching from the opposite side.

"...Speaking of it, you may not believe it, but the three of us were actually passing by."

The deer demon nodded, and hastily raised his hand to add, "I've never eaten human flesh!"

The tiger demon raised his hand and clasped his fists heavily: "Excuse me!"

The three demons all turned around and were about to go outside, when they heard Lu Liangsheng's cold snort, the tiger, deer, and sheep three demons immediately stopped and stood in place, then squatted down on the ground in unison, clasped their hands together and placed them on top of their heads.

"Daxian spare your life!"

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect these three monsters to be funny, but if he had eaten people, he could tell at a glance. To the extreme, I didn't see any evil spirit on them.

After a while, closing his eyes, he waved his wide sleeves at the Three Demons: "Let's go."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The goat demon turned around and bowed again and again. The tiger demon next to him straightened his back and arched his hands towards the scholar facing him. He said in a bold voice, "Thank you, Daxian, for pity on my difficult cultivation. From now on, I will devote myself to cultivating in the mountains and will never do evil! Farewell! "

He arched his hands heavily, turned around and strode away, took two or three steps, and swished away, causing the deer and sheep to chase after him, shouting: "Wait for us!"

"These three demons remind me of those four scholars." Lu Liangsheng watched the three demons disappear into the gradually brightened hole, and laughed a little. I didn't see anyone.

Did you go talk elsewhere?

The scholar frowned suspiciously. At the same time, Xiyou was stabbing a four-legged snake hidden in the crevice of the stone with a branch. He seemed to know the scholar's doubts, moved his mouth, and pointed the branch in his hand to open the long hole. Empty corner.

"Go outside with that painted skin demon."

The cave was quiet, except for Taoist Toad and Gongsun Liao's yelling and cursing occasionally, and the rest was the rustling sound of Lu Liangsheng walking across the ground, and came to the edge of the cave wall that Sun Houzi swept away with a stick. Outside the gap, the sky was blue, and Hong Lian in a white dress with cloud pattern was standing on the edge of the cliff, the wind was blowing, and the blue hair caressed her ears, watching the white belly gradually appearing in the east, she looked to the side with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The corners of Hua Hongyi's mouth were covered with blood, sitting there leaning against a rock, aware of the woman's gaze, eyes looking at the whitened sky, pursed her blood-stained lips, and uttered a weak voice.

"... Hong Lian, you have won."

The mountain wind swayed the skirt, Hong Lian pulled the fluttering blue hair to her ears, looked at her with a smile, and shook her head again.

"Actually, you and I are one... It was my selfishness that made you like this."

"Winning is winning, and Mrs. Ben is not the kind who refuses to admit defeat."

Hua Hongyi didn't look at her, but still stared at the eastern sky, the sky was about to dawn, she sat there and moved her body weakly, fell silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Well, I think..." Hong Lian blinked, and sat down beside Hua Hongyi, "Let's make up."

Hearing this, Hua Hongyi was stunned, even Lu Liangsheng, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, was stunned for a moment, Hong Lian smiled dimpledly, and stretched out her delicate hand: "Speaking of it, it has always been I am alone, and if I separate you, I am not alone, we should be sisters, right?"

On the opposite side, Hua Hongyi suddenly burst into a smile, she had the same dimples as the woman opposite, her eyes stared at Hong Lian for a while, she turned her face away, something stuck in her throat, she pursed her lips , did not reach out to shake Hong Lian's hand.

The clouds in the eastern sky broke apart, and the first ray of golden morning sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, pushing the edge of darkness to spread across the lonely peak, covering the blood-stained woman on the edge of the cliff.

Hua Hongyi closed her eyes as if she was enjoying the sun, and looked up her stunning pretty face. Bursts of black smoke rose from her body and scattered in the air.

"Hongyi." Hong Lian called her in a low voice.

Black smoke rose, and in the golden sunlight, Hua Hongyi opened her eyes, turned her face, showed a gentle smile, and called out softly.

"elder sister."

In the next moment, the beauty painted on the skin faded away, and fell to the ground like a dead thing. In Hong Lian's shout: "Hong Yi.", the painted skin was illuminated by the sun, and gradually turned into a puddle of viscous water. foul smell.

"Hongyi...sister..."

Nie Honglian stared blankly at the sticky puddle on the ground, and for a moment couldn't figure out why she didn't want to reunite with herself, at least to keep her soul immortal.

"It's her own choice."

Lu Liangsheng came over, pressed his slightly trembling shoulders, sat down on a rock beside him, took Hong Lian into his arms and smelled the faint fragrance of the green silk.

"When she becomes conscious, she will no longer be you. She will have the path she wants to take. Just like what my master said back then, some people will stop when the road is blocked, while others will not be reconciled and continue to look for other things. The road, Huahongyi, she can't walk anymore, maybe a series of setbacks made her have no hope of going on."

The scholar comforted softly. In the hole behind him, two figures crouched behind the dilapidated rock wall, looking at the man and woman leaning together.

"Old Toad, are you the one who said this? When did you become so knowledgeable?"

"When did the old man say... yes, that's what the old man said. I followed a nerdy apprentice. The old man also read a lot of books, so naturally I have some understanding of the words of the saint!"

Outside, Hong Lian, who was sitting in Lu Liangsheng's arms, felt much better. He raised his face and blinked his beautiful eyes, and said softly, "My lord, you made a mistake. That sentence seems to be said by Mr. Shuhua, isn't it?" Master Toad."

The Taoist Toad who was squatting at the entrance of the cave puffed up his cheeks, and Gongsun Liao next to him turned his face away, and couldn't hold it back anymore, he burst out laughing, so angry that Toad's eyes widened, and the two long beards around his mouth were dancing.

"This little female ghost, why do you remember these unimportant things?!"

The man and woman sitting on the edge of the cliff didn't care about the two old men who were eavesdropping at the entrance of the cave. They hugged each other and watched the morning sun gradually rising from the top of the mountain and rising to the clouds. Lu Liangsheng had never had such peace in the arms of a beautiful woman. On the earthy ridge, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he got up and moved down the mountain.

The bookshelf slung on the back of the old donkey broke free and flew straight up the cliff, landing at Lu Liangsheng's feet. After getting along with him for many years, Hong Lian knew what the young master was going to do, and went to help grind the ink.

Qiyou pouted and dragged her long skirt out, "I want to help too."

Lu Liangsheng, who set up the easel and laid out the paper, smiled and spread his palms towards her. The latter smiled, turned his long skirt and turned into a brush and dropped it into the other party's hand.

After Hong Lian polished the ink, Lu Liangsheng sat down on the rock, looked at the distant and near mountains, with a faint light on the tip of his pen, and outlined the scenery in front of him on the blank scroll.

"Young master, these views are not good..."

Hong Lian spoke with some doubts, but the scholar sitting in front of the easel just smiled, and pressed the palm of his knee with the other hand, pinched out the magic point and placed it on the paper, pulling a wisp of blue thread out, flying along the finger Go to this brown and yellow barren mountain.

"What is this apprentice going to do, old man?" Taoist Toad conjured up a bowl of steaming noodles from nowhere, and the aroma of braised pork wafted out, making Gongsun Liao swallow a mouthful of saliva: "Old Toad, you use your phantasm like this!" What? It just so happens that the king may not have eaten for a long time, let me have a couple of bites."

"go away."

.......

Standing on the easel on the edge of the cliff, the tip of the pen wanders around, painting the barren mountains with lush green leaves, and the green grass swaying under the birds flying by.

"Hong Lian, watch."

Lu Liangsheng made the last embellishment, put down his paintbrush, and held the Pill of Ten Thousand Demons in his palm from his sleeve. He had never thought about what to do with this Pill of Demons before. Since it came from the world in the northwest, it is better to return it back. Bar.

The magic power is used to urge the levitating demon core, pulling out the various demon forces that were originally forcibly soft inside, turning into countless normal lines and floating into the picture scroll.

The mountains, rivers, and grasslands of green and black ink instantly took on color. Hong Lian, who was waiting on the side, subconsciously raised her gaze to look outside the mountain, her red lips slowly opened, unable to close them in shock.

In the field of vision, the undulating mountains between the sky and the earth seem to be embellished with green lines with a paintbrush. The barren soil breaks through the delicate saplings, and grows up in the sunshine, with branches and leaves stretching Spread, forming a green canopy, spreading all over the mountains and plains.

There are clear mountain springs flowing through the dry mountains, and the grass grows vigorously in all directions along the direction of the water. Birds fly over this mountain, singing curiously and cheerfully.

A painting of mountains, rivers and rivers unfolds in a real way.

Chapter 593 Suffering and Difficulty Blessing

The mountain people in the northwest border live next to the village. In the early morning, the smoke from the kitchen fills the green forest at the foot of the mountain. The farmers who go out and start to work, stand in the field and look to the northwest in surprise. Between the meandering mountains, the brown and yellow barren land is covered with a layer. Many villagers in the 'green clothes' who saw this scene threw away their hoes, ran back to the village, dragged their wives and children and rushed outside.

People from [-] or [-] households gathered at the entrance of the village, looking in amazement at the dense forest that suddenly grew out of the distant mountains, and some people who worshiped gods knelt down and kowtowed there.

"What the hell is going on... It wasn't even yesterday..."

"It must be a fairy coming out of the mountain. I didn't hear that there was thunder and wind again in the middle of the night last night."

"What if there are monsters?"

"The monster would be so kind to plant trees on all the surrounding mountains?!"

"Hey, look, those trees are still growing... They are almost past another mountain."

"Immortal method, this is a manifestation of the gods, everyone hurry up and worship, maybe our mountain will also be covered with forests, benefiting the descendants, all kneel down, hurry up and worship."

The villagers gathered at the head of the village were moved by the old man in the village, and hesitated for a while. Seeing someone kneeling and kowtowing in front of them, they also knelt down on the ground with their hands folded and prayed northwestward, hoping that the village would also be blessed by the gods The grace of the superior.

The prayers of more than a hundred people seemed to be heard. Some people opened their eyes and saw that the nearest mountain had become lush and green. All kinds of trees shook their branches and leaves slightly in the wind. The saplings and grass broke through the ground, and in a blink of an eye they grew thicker, and the shade of the trees spread out to cover the heads of the villagers gathered at the head of the village.

Many people opened their eyes to see this scene, and suddenly burst into tears, "Thank God, for your kindness——"

The villagers shouted gratitude, but Lu Liangsheng, who was far away in the mountains in the northwest, couldn't hear it. Seeing the forest vegetation growing from the ground and spreading dozens of miles away, the whole area was full of vitality, and it lived up to the desolation and barrenness before. Sighing, I never imagined that the demon power contained in the Ten Thousand Demon Pill could overcome so far.

It was a pity for Taoist Toad and Gongsun Liao who were squatting at the entrance of the cave to watch the show.

"This king took so much effort to refine it, and it almost capsized, but it was used by your apprentice like this..."

"Yeah, if I can eat a few meals for the old man... It's a pity, but it's not considered not to eat, maybe I can break through the Demon King Realm a lot..."

While talking, there was nothing to see, so I got up and went back to the cave.

outside.

Lu Liangsheng stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched his muscles and bones, put away the easel and put it on the bookshelf, chatted and laughed with Hong Lianqiyou, then turned around and called his master to prepare to go down the mountain. Now that the matter is over, it is time to return to Chang'an and go to Wusezhuang by the way See who is occupying the dove's nest.

The rest of the monsters in the mountain were either dead or fled. Taoist Toad looked at the corpses of beasts that showed their original shape, sucked his saliva greedily, and happily found firewood from the cave to light, and put a small pot on it.

When Lu Liangsheng came over, he was peeling a big snake and putting it into the pot. He walked around the side of the pot to look through the recipes, and when he heard footsteps, he saw his apprentice carrying Hong Lian and Qi You, carrying a bookshelf, and was taken aback for a moment: "What's wrong? Want to go?"

The scholar glanced into the pot, and the pot full of white snake meat could hardly hold it. It would not matter if it was an ordinary snake, but this snake should be conscious, like a human being can talk and communicate. It was hard to swallow, Lu Liangsheng looked away and nodded.

"Well, I still have to go to Wujiang Mountain, and then I should go back to Chang'an."

Taoist Toad stared at the pot of snake meat greedily, his eyes lit up, and he simply held the whole pot in his hand, then turned his head and called to Gongsun Liao who was standing in front of the dilapidated stone chair: "Your hole is gone!" , live in Chang'an with the old man, you can go out and enjoy the streets at any time, it's better than here."
