Great Sui Guoshi

The Taoist pushed aside the dirt on his body, pulled Mingyue out, looked at the mess around him, and swallowed his saliva: "Scholar Lu is so powerful?"

"That's Bi Fang's disaster!" The little man remembered that his master told him about the strange beasts in the mountains and seas. After talking, he thought of the situation, and quickly pulled the Taoist's dirty robe with his little hand, "Bad Taoist leader, don't sigh!" Hurry up, if the demon dragon notices that Mr. is leaving, maybe he will come after him!"

Thinking of the dragon, the Taoist came back to his senses from the shock, "Let's go, let's go!" After saying a few times, he pulled Mingyue aside and walked away quickly. Without the magic power of the monster dragon, one big and one small quickly walked away. Then I turned up a section of the hillside and saw the road leading to the north, and I was relieved.

The two looked at each other, put on their usual hippie smiles, let go and rushed down the road.

Far behind, to the east of the town, over a few mountains, the moonlight quietly swayed the waves of the lake, and suddenly exploded with a bang, and the long, twisting shadow plunged into the water, startling the people waiting on the shore. The four demons sat down into the water, and for a moment, a hoarse and weak voice sounded from the bottom of the water.

"You four..."

Hearing Jinhu Dragon King's voice, the four demons quickly got up and nodded, "Your Majesty, we are here."

However, the voice in the water picked up the following Chinese: "You four, get out!!!"

The sound waves caused splashes and big waves, knocking the four monsters over and flying them ashore. Under the swaying lake, almost half of the winding long shadow was scorched black. The flame seemed to seep into the flesh, and it was still burning. burn.

"Who is that person... This king wants to kill him!!"

At the bottom of the deep lake, the dragon's eyes turned scarlet again, feeling the burning pain piercing into the bones, rolling and churning wildly in the water, roaring in horror, causing the entire lake surface to be full of wind and waves, smashing the docks and boats along the lake to pieces.

In the night sky, the broken normal line is thousands of miles away, far away in the Longevity Temple in Chang'an, the figure standing in front of the window opened his eyes, the vertical light between his brows disappeared under the cortex, and the red pity who was guarding the light with his chin propped up, I felt that the scholar's primordial spirit had returned to his body.

"Young Master, what's the matter? Is Daoist Sun busy?"

In front of the desk, Lu Liangsheng mobilized his mana to stabilize his soul, took off the unicorn cloak on his body and handed it to Hong Lian, sat down at the round table and poured a cup of tea.

"It's all right now. Lao Sun somehow provoked an old dragon. The other party should be from the lake near Suliu. Originally, he wanted to say something in person to see if it could be resolved, but he felt that there was a demon star on the old dragon. Breath, I can only strike him hastily and knock him back."

Lu Liangsheng held the cup and turned it in his hand. Although he didn't know the whole thing, based on what he knew about the demon star, he could deduce why the old dragon was so irritable. , one fell into the lake and was obtained by an unaware old dragon."

Hearing the master's slight snoring, the scholar put down his teacup and recalled his thoughts. His soul went thousands of miles away and hit him once. It was already extremely risky, and he didn't dare to use it a second time. To find out the reason, he had to wait until the Taoist Bring Mingyue to Chang'an, as for the demon star on the old dragon, I can only take time to go there to have a look.

"However, to be able to become a dragon, one's morality will not be too low, and it was regarded as taking advantage of the opponent before. If you fight this old dragon on the rivers and lakes, you will probably suffer..."

Fingertips tapped on the table rhythmically following the calculation, Lu Liangsheng turned his gaze sideways, looked at Hong Lian who was at the side, the woman was stunned, and reached out to touch her cheek: "My lord, what's on my concubine's face?"

At this time, I saw a smile in Lu Liangsheng's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "It's okay, you go back to the painting to rest first, and I'm going to sleep too."

Seeing that the young master was unwilling to say more, Hong Lian touched his face suspiciously, bowed lowly to the scholar, got into the painting, and said faintly and ethereally: "Young master, rest early."

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng got up and went to the desk, twisted his index finger and thumb together, the candle in the lampshade went out, and the room became dark instantly, so he took off his clothes and lay down on the couch.

Follow up with the method you just thought of.

'...The old dragon has reached such a state, and he still needs to continue to practice or maintain his Taoism, so he can only rely on incense. It just so happens that I have the right to demolish temples and build temples. First demolish his temples and cut off his incense! '

"After stripping off the demon star's breath from the old dragon and recovering his sanity, we can talk about the festival with the Taoist... But right now, we have to finish the orphan's business..."

Yuanshen flew thousands of miles away, not to mention Fei Mana, and his whole body was a little tired, thinking of the incident of being an orphan in the past few days, it was quite a headache.

Thinking about what to do, she gradually stopped moving, her slightly opened eyelids closed drowsily, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Chapter 6 and Seven

Quack~~Quack~~~

The sky was bright and bright, the first ray of golden autumn sun shone on the water of Furong Pool, sprinkled sparkling light, and the ducks wandering in the reeds flapped their wings, played in the water and neighed. The attic of Wanshou Temple in the morning sun passes by.

jingle bells...

Wind chimes sway gently on the corner of the eaves.

The sun shone through the window lattice, Lu Liangsheng sat on the edge of the bed and stretched his arms, and saw a short figure on the window sill sitting there with his legs drooping, staring at the rising sun outside.

"Master, why did you wake up so early today?"

The toad, dipped in a piece of gold, turned its face slightly with drooping eyelids: "Master, I can't sleep... When I wake up, I feel back pain, like being pressed all night, maybe the elixir ate too much."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the dazed look of his master, and was worried that the dream-returning pill he had refined would have other effects, but after thinking about it, the master could eat the corpse gas as a snack, and a few pills should be enough. There will be no problem. Turning around to put on the robe, footsteps and human voices can be heard outside the window lattice.

"I'm waiting to see Master Guoshi."

Taoist Toad, who was sitting on the window sill with big lala, glanced his head, turned his face to the side of the screen and shouted: "Liangsheng, I'm looking for you."

Behind the screen with the changing scenery of four seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Lu Liangsheng poked his head out, tied his belt, walked to the window lattice to tie up his hair, and passed the sound of the Dharma outside.

"Get up and talk."

A row of half-kneeling soldiers below looked up in astonishment, but they didn't see the national teacher himself, but the voice lingered next to his ears, as if he was right in front of him, he bowed respectfully and stood up straight .

After a while, the hall door of the attic on the opposite side opened by itself, and on the wooden ladder facing inside, a scholar in a light blue robe with water patterns came down and looked at them with a smile.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Report to the Imperial Teacher, the two orphans are already in the government office in 210, please move the Imperial Advisor." As he spoke, the leader looked around, took two steps closer, and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty is also here."

Lu Liangsheng was slightly stunned, then he thought about his joints, laughed, and asked them to go back to report first, and then he would arrive later, and gave a few more instructions, sent the group of people away, went back to the room to wash up, had breakfast, watched Toad Taoist Xiang was still sitting on the window sill in a daze.

"Master, do you want to go to the Chang'an government office with me?"

"No, let's bask in the sun again for the teacher." Taoist Toad raised his frog webbing and waved it to the apprentice behind him. Looking at the golden morning sun, he yawned lazily, and crawled down into a lump to bask in the sun. Get the pimple on your back.

Seeing that the toad wouldn't leave, Lu Liangsheng had to go there alone. As for Hong Lian and Qi You, the two girls disappeared early in the morning, maybe they sneaked out to go shopping before dawn.

After tidying up, I greeted the eight big men holding iron locks in the square outside, and then I went out of the mountain gate, boarded the regular carriage, walked through the busy market, and came to the Chang'an government office located between the East Market and the West Market. In the distance, many nearby people stood on this long street, looking at the well-equipped mansion over there with their eyes watching the bustle.

"Why is the guard so strict today? Do you know what's going on?"

"...Early in the morning before dawn, when I got up to empty the urine bucket, I saw a group of children being escorted into it. They looked quite miserable."

"A group of children also committed crimes?"

"Probably not. There are so many children committing crimes together. I feel like they have no relatives. It looks so pitiful."

"Don't talk about it, let me say that the second uncle of my wife's cousin is working there, and he stayed at my house last night. While drinking, I heard from him that the Longevity Temple on the Furong Pond was awarded to the imperial court. A group of orphans are all suffering from family troubles and have lost their parents."

"Hey, the national teacher has done a great thing."

"Isn't it... If you can enter the Longevity Temple, you can eat enough and wear warmth anyway."

Amidst the buzzing and whispering, the carriages coming from afar passed through the street and stopped at the gate of the mansion. Lu Liangsheng lifted the curtain and came down. The imperial soldiers guarding the gate naturally recognized the scholar, straightened their chests, and put away their weapons. There was a neat and tidy sound of 'wow'.

Lu Liangsheng walked straight into the gate of the mansion. There were many patrolling soldiers or guards everywhere. When he saw the scholar who came in, he couldn't help showing a little excitement on his face. He leaned forward slightly, probably feeling a little closer to a master of Taoism. , can make yourself lucky.

"National Division!"

"I have seen the national teacher!"

In the low-pitched greetings, Lu Liangsheng smiled and nodded one by one in response. When he passed the courtyard in front of him, what came into view were unkempt children, big and young, standing in rows in ragged clothes, looking around timidly. The bony bodies of the soldiers and government servants with knives and sticks were all trembling.

The morning breeze blows slowly across the courtyard, and the leaves rustle softly as they fall one after another.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the timid little faces in front of him, quietly cast a spell on his palm, and stroked the tops of these children's heads.

"Don't be afraid, you will have a family in the future."

For some reason, the children felt the warmth in their hearts, raised their faces, and gradually dissipated the previous hesitation, just staring blankly at the soft-spoken scholar in front of them.

But still dare not speak.

"National Division!"

Not far away, Yang Guang's voice sounded from the open hall door in front. Lu Liangsheng smiled and turned his eyes away from the child, looked over there, shook off his sleeves, went to salute, and was immediately invited by the emperor in ordinary clothes to sit inside. Down.

The two entered the room and sat down, the governor waved his hand to let the servants watch tea, and then retreated, leaving only His Majesty and the current national teacher in the hall.

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Guang opened his mouth first: "Master, can these children practice Taoism?"

Lu Liangsheng looked at the children outside who had lost their parents, and when he heard the emperor's words, he pursed his lips and shook his head.

"No, in the letter I sent to His Majesty before, I also briefly mentioned that the group of children gathered, I intend to teach them the skills to deal with demons and ghosts."

"Spells are not cultivation?"

"Your Majesty, the two should not be confused." Lu Liangsheng explained: "In fact, it is similar to the martial arts learned by the knights in the Jianghu. The moves are the moves, and the inner strength is the inner strength. If there are qualified children among these children, I might as well teach some of them. Famen."

With so many orphans who have lost their parents, how could Lu Liangsheng not know that there are actually some people who are pretending to be fake, otherwise the emperor would come out of the palace for nothing and come to him for this matter?

Of course, he had to speak his own words beautifully. Whether or not these young people from the aristocratic families could persevere depends on their abilities. As for the cultivation method, when he came in, he had already found out about it, and none of them had the qualifications.

On the opposite side, as the emperor, Yang Guang couldn't hear Lu Liangsheng's words, and arched his hands: "The national teacher has worked hard for us in the Sui Dynasty, please accept my worship."

"No, Your Majesty."

Lu Liangsheng got up and went over to help the emperor who was about to bow down. "I am the minister of the Sui Dynasty. It is my duty as a teacher of the country to raise a group of capable people and strangers for the people of the world. It is my duty to cut off the demons and ghosts that are causing disasters."

After helping Yang Guang, he said something with him, and then turned around: "By the way, His Majesty is visiting in private, just to see these children?"

"It's not all, I'm here, actually I'm here to tell the national teacher a happy event." Thinking of the message he received last night, Yang Guang couldn't suppress his expression, and was quite excited: "The national teacher doesn't know. Come to the military newspaper, the first battle was a great victory, and the first battle gave me a face, I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night last night..."

Since he ascended the throne, he has been restrained by the Duke of Yue, Yang Su, in everything he does. Now that he has won the first battle of independence, how can he be unhappy? In this way, prestige has accumulated, and he will be less persuaded to do other things in the future. words.

"...In a few days, I will go to the northwest. I may not be able to reach Tuyuhun. I will supervise the battle in the land of Xipu. If I can win Tuyuhun, I will finally be like my father, and no one will say three times." Road four."

Lu Liangsheng naturally wouldn't persuade the emperor who had tasted the sweetness, or say some bad words. After a few words, he said goodbye and left. placement.

Two days later, outside the city of Chang'an, the embarrassed Taoist and Mingyue, who had a smudged face, used spells to hurry, and finally arrived at this giant city, found a place to clean, and then walked into the city.

Chapter 6 and Eight

The autumn wind blows down the yellow leaves and floats to the street. The salesman with the windmill yelled and walked past two Taoist priests, one big and one small, who entered the city. Cheers, among the crowd, a big man holding a hammer slammed down viciously, and the shattered stone slab split from the chest of his lying companion.

Hu Yin was long, and Hu Ji standing at the door of the restaurant twisted her bare waist, and the Taoist stared at her trembling navel with wide eyes, and suddenly stretched out her hand to cover the sight of the little man. .

"Don't look!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden 'ouch', and Sun Yingxian blew vigorously on the covered hand, with a row of bright red teeth marks printed on it.

"You are a dog!"

Mingyue cast a sideways glance at him, held up her little hands and walked forward: "I belong to a fox!"

Soon, one big and one small were bickering and passing through several houses in Nancheng, and came to Furong Pond. The lake wind was blowing with muddy smell, and the little man ran to the guardrail and yelled "Wow", and turned his head to look The Taoist walking lazily.

"This is also my husband's?"

"Good idea! It belongs to the emperor."

The Taoist put down his hand resting on the back of his head, and pointed to the golden hill not far ahead, and the towering mountain gate, "It's over there, don't be surprised, so as not to embarrass Lao Lu."

Mingyue ran over in a gust of wind, touched the stone tablet next to the mountain gate, and read out the handwriting on it word by word: "Wan-shou-guan!"

Hearing the words of the Taoist who came from behind, the little man straightened his face: "Got it!"

The two of them walked halfway up the straight mountain steps, and there was a rustling of bushes in the nearby forest. In an instant, a donkey's head poked out and saw the little man on the stone steps, snorting and snorting. Taking a deep breath, he rushed out from inside.

"Uncle Donkey!"

Mingyue yelled happily, kicked off her feet, jumped over, hugged the old donkey's neck, spun around in mid-air, and fell back to the ground. Crap, when I was young, I spent most of my time running around with the old donkey up and down the mountain.

The old donkey also stuck out his tongue and licked his face affectionately, then swung his mane, and the donkey's beak turned up, signaling the little man to go up quickly.

"Well, after meeting Mr., come play with Uncle Donkey!"

Letting go of the old donkey, Mingyue waved her hand while being dragged away by the Taoist. When they reached the top, the two stood in the shade of a pine tree and saw hundreds of children sitting in a row in the square. They were called by their names while they were wearing clothes, and they were handed out one by one.

"This... Lu Dashu was born for real?"

Before, Lu Liangsheng said that he would take in children who had lost their parents in Kyushu, teach them magic techniques, and then send them down to civilian life.

Sun Yingxian let go of the moon and looked around, but he didn't see the scholar, so he hurriedly called out: "Follow me." Carrying the yellow cloth bag, he rushed to the attic, saw Hong Lian cleaning a porcelain vase, and asked He asked, "Where is the scholar Lu?"

"Master!" The little person on the side spoke excitedly. Hong Lian, who was originally answering the Taoist, showed joy on his face, and floated over to rub his little face: "Mingyue is so obedient and polite, unlike some people You don’t even say hello when you enter the door, you just ask people.”

Pointingly glanced at the Taoist next to him, the latter spread his hands in a so-called way: "Doesn't this show that we know each other well!"

Hong Lian ignored him, got up and turned to continue wiping the screen, but still said to Mingyue: "Your husband is in the room below where the elixir is stored."

The Taoist arched his hands and said "Thank you!" He didn't care about the little man beside him, he was quite familiar with this place, and he ran over quickly looking for the place, and before going down the stone steps leading to the underground, he passed the last Seeing a familiar figure in the stove room inside, he hurriedly stopped, leaned back and poked his head to take a look inside.

Zhu Ganglu was wearing an apron and was pressing the dumpling wrapper with a rolling pin. When he saw the Taoist looking around by the door, he casually threw a piece of dumpling wrapper on the other person's face.

"What are you looking at, I've never seen an old pig cook before, let's go, I'll call you when I'm done!"

"hey-hey."

Sun Ying first took the face and threw it back, and then threw it back to Zhu Gang, and walked down the stone steps briskly. On the side of the circling stone steps, there was an oil lamp on the wall, and in the flickering light, there was a 'creaking' moan. Hearing, the space below is not very big. The moment the Taoist stepped down, his eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he almost took out the demon-subduing mirror.
