Great Sui Guoshi

The scholar who was looking at the lake view turned his head and bowed his hands back to them. Then he took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookshelf, set up his easel and sat down.

The breeze blew the willow branches, Lu Liangsheng polished the ink, put it aside, took the brush and dipped it, and fell on the blank painting scroll laid out, while watching the lake view in his eyes, keeping his mind firmly in mind, he flew quickly with his wide sleeves Wandering meandering, there is a bleak autumn scenery of Jinhu Lake.

squeak~~

The small door of the bookshelf was slightly opened, Taoist Toad was hanging outside with two short legs, pecking at his head bit by bit, when the wind blew, he shook his head violently, tried to open his eyes, but seeing no one coming, he went down the rope Go to the ground, spread the fins and run to the apprentice.

"Liangsheng, why stop here? Instead of going to the city, stay in an inn and order a table of good wine and food?"

"Finish this painting first."

Lu Liangsheng picked up Taoist Toad and put it on his shoulder, "Wutongshen are just some little demons. Yuwen Chengdu and my seal are not difficult to deal with. The real powerful one is the old dragon in the lake in front of us."

The toad lying on the scholar's shoulder carefully looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake that was gradually taking shape under the brush, and found that except for the scenery, the whole painting was extremely small, and even faintly painted the entire Golden Lake.

"Is this to use the frame to set up the formation?"

Lu Liangsheng kept his hands on the picture, staring at the painting of water waves and lotus leaves, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You always have to make some preparations before you can win every battle, but you don't want to hurt the old dragon's life, so let's put the spirit of the demon star first." Pull it out of him."

The scholar smiled, suddenly stopped writing, pinched out the finger point to go to the ground, thought, and said silently: "The land here, please come here."

Under a willow tree, a cloud of white smoke rose, and a five-foot-tall figure clapped its hands and came out coughing and leaning on a cane, as if choked by the smoke, walked to the side of the painting scholar over there, laughing He stroked his white beard, and arched his hands: "This gentleman has cultivated supernatural powers, congratulations, old man! Congratulations!"

"Where, I'm bothering the land to come here, it's really offending."

"It's okay, sir, gentle and polite, it's rare and rare." Tu Tu sat down on a nearby big bluestone leaning on a cane, too lazy for a human monk to call him out. On weekdays, he just stayed in Tu Tu Temple, feeling so depressed that someone could help him. Speaking is also quite comfortable.

Perhaps it was a little uncomfortable to sit on, so the land smiled and knocked on the head of the staff, shrinking the stone under him a little, "Sir, I asked the old man to come up, but do you have something to ask?"

The toad lying on Lu Liangsheng's shoulder rolled its eyes, and blew on the fish whiskers around its mouth... Calling you up, isn't it just a question, just say it, just say such a polite thing.

The scholar glanced at the master, did not speak, turned his face to face the opposite Tudigong with a smile and said:

"There is indeed one thing."

As he said, he pointed to the big lake behind him, "I don't know the Lord of the Land, but do you know the origin of the old dragon in this lake?"

On the opposite side, Land looked for a while along the surface of the lake pointed by the scholar, nodded, stood up from the bluestone, with doubts on his face, he had been on this land for many years, so he naturally knew it.

"...This lake is called Jinhu, and there is indeed an old dragon in the lake, which was already there when it was old enough to become a land."

The old man stroked his white beard, closed his eyes and thought for a while, it seemed that his spiritual consciousness was looking through the land book when he returned to the temple, and he opened his eyes after a while.

"The dragon has practiced here for about 1000 or [-] years. He is known as the King of the Golden Dragon, but he is actually a dragon with blue scales and a white belly who has attained enlightenment, not a real dragon from the sky. , and live in harmony with the old man, so let him go."

1000 for two years?

Golden Dragon King? !

Sitting in front of the easel, Lu Liangsheng was stunned when he heard the time of the old dragon's practice, but the toad on his shoulder narrowed his eyes at the name.

At this time, a humble voice sounded: "This classmate is really good at calligraphy and painting."

Hearing this sound, Lu Liangsheng turned his head. A scholar in a green robe was staring at his painting with a smile. He came from another direction by the lake, as if he could not see the land with a cane on the side of the stone railing. Polite hands over.

"Xiaosheng Jin Huai'an, I was a little bit Meng Lang just now, I hope my classmates don't blame me."

Over there, Land Justice was interrupted while speaking, shook his head unsatisfied, and turned into a white smoke and fell to the ground. Seeing that Land left, Lu Liangsheng had to get up and talk to the scholar. Ordinary, ordinary people.

Probably met a colleague who came to talk, and the scholar was indeed like this. Looking at the beautiful scenery of Jinhu Lake, which had already taken shape, he praised it enviously. He is also a scholar, so he would inevitably pull Lu Liangsheng to talk about some intellectual things. Almost fell asleep again.

After a while, Jin Huai'an stood up and said goodbye with a satisfied face.

"Student Lu, if you are free, you can come to the private school in the city to find me. I will be here anytime."

Lu Liangsheng smiled, sent him a few steps, cupped his hands and said: "Okay, after finishing the next work, come and sit down when you have free time."

"Farewell!"

The scholar on the opposite side let out a sigh of relief, then arched his hands heavily, and then turned around and walked away. Perhaps the like-minded people, on the way back, would jolt their steps happily.

"It seems that he is just a scholar who likes to explore knowledge."

Watching the other party leave, Lu Liangsheng sat back, but it was a pity that the land had already returned to the temple, and it would be a bit embarrassing to call him again, "call again tomorrow." '

Thinking about it, the Taoist came back around the lake shore with two branches, threw the branches away and picked his chin, "The formation is found, and you can set up the formation when you are almost done drawing."

"Ah."

Right now, Lu Liangsheng was no longer interested in painting, so he simply put away the easel, took out the seal from his arms and handed it to Sun Yingxian.

"The Dragon King Temple hasn't been demolished yet. Take my seal and go to Yuwen Chengdu in the city. He will naturally listen to your arrangement and ask him to demolish all the Dragon King Temples by the lake as soon as possible!"

"You can do errands in your own way." The Taoist took a sip of water, pushed back the plug, snatched the seal from the scholar's hand, and put it in his arms, "When I get back to Qixia Mountain, I will tell your sister!"

The Taoist left, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey to the official road, walked slowly towards Huai Ling in front, and also looked at the toad lying on his shoulder with drooping eyes.

"Master, you seem to know the name of the Golden Dragon King mentioned by Tu Tu just now?"

On the swaying shoulders, Taoist Toad opened his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Destroyed!"

With these words again, Lu Liangsheng showed a wry smile, how many monsters and people did Master beat back then?

As the night fell, the lights in the city rose to illuminate the streets, and the Taoist who entered the city walked quickly across the long street, suddenly stopped subconsciously, turned his head to look somewhere in the city, "Monster Qi?"

Then he patted his head, "Don't care what kind of monster he is, when Mr. Lu enters the city, there will be no more monsters, so I'm too lazy to worry about it."

......

A few long streets away from Taoist priests, a library building was still brightly lit, and a scholar-like man in the window lattice was quietly flipping through books.

If Lu Liangsheng was here, he would be able to recognize that this person was the scholar he met by the lake before.

A gust of wind blew in through the slightly open window lattice, and while the lights were flickering, soft footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Jin Huaian raised his head, and a beautiful figure walked by outside the window, knocking on the door.

"You're here."

The scholar's face showed joy, and he quickly opened the door to let the woman in. The swaying fire light illuminated the woman's apricot yellow dress, the jade beads in her hair were shaking slightly, and her waist was twisted. Shi Shiran walked in. Jin Huai'an had just closed the door. The woman suddenly knelt down.

"Young Master, this concubine's coming tonight is the last time I will see you."

"This... this... what's going on, you get up first."

The scholar flustered his hands and feet to help him, but he couldn't help him up. He remembered shaking his hands and going around, "What happened, you and I are happy, like ducks in water..."

"No, the concubine wants to say goodbye to the young master."

The woman's voice was sad, tears rolled down her cheeks along the corners of her eyes, she said in a low voice: "It was my father who provoked an enemy, and now he has come to find him, disaster is imminent for my family, and I'm afraid my concubine will not be spared."

"what?"

Jin Huaian squatted down on the opposite side, helped the woman's pretty face, reached out to wipe away the tears, and said anxiously, "What should I do, why not report to the police."

The woman shook her head, and the jade hairpin shook the beads.

".....The police can't save us..." At this point, the words paused, and he reached out and grabbed the scholar's arm: "But the young master can help."

"Me? I'm powerless... how can I help you?"

Seeing that the woman was about to cry again, Jin Huai'an panicked, "Tell me, tell me, how can I help you, get up first."

The woman stopped crying, got up and followed the scholar to sit on the stool, but she kept holding on to him. In the light of the fire, she forced a smile. Seeing her pear blossoms with rain, Jin Huaian summoned up her courage and asked:

"What do you say next?"

"My family's great enemy has come to Huai Ling today. He is a scholar with an old donkey by his side. He is a scholar just like the young master. If you ask him, the young master may be able to resolve the disaster of our family..."

Chapter 6 There is an expert under the willows in Jinhu.

"That man came from the north. There was always an old donkey by his side. He was tall and straight, young and handsome. He was a scholar like the young master. He was full of grandeur. We couldn't get close to him. Only the young master can pass by. Jinhu Yangliu is the next one, and he is sure. It's him, please forgive me, maybe he can save my family from the disaster."

The lights in the room were warm and yellow, and the woman was speaking softly, while the scholar sitting beside him stared blankly at the flickering candle, and when he heard the description, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

Donkey?

Scholar.....

Isn't this the classmate Lu I met by the Jinhu Lake today?

"Sir?"

Over there, the woman stopped talking, and seeing the scholar in a daze, she called softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Huaian shook his head and said: "It's okay, I was just thinking about something." Then, he shook the woman's hand and asked: "Aside from the old donkey, is there a big toad beside the scholar? "

"I don't even know about this, so how does the young master know?"

"I happened to meet a classmate today..."

The scholar told the other party about a scholar he met by the Jinhu Lake this afternoon. He also had an old donkey, and his speech was quite elegant. I took the exam in the same year, but I failed, so I opened a library to educate people.

"I just don't know if this classmate Lu is the one you mentioned, but don't worry, I will look for him tomorrow morning, and I should stay in Huai Ling for a few days."

"I don't know if it's this person, but it's okay for you to try it. If you don't know how to ask, then I will say Jinhu family."

Seeing that she had an idea, the woman felt more at ease, but after all, she had something on her mind, and it was not convenient to stay tonight. Then, she said goodbye and left, walked along the eaves to the side yard of the building, walked among several trees, and disappeared .

Soon, the lights were turned off in the room, and the pitch-black night slowly turned blue with time, and the clouds in the eastern sky turned fish-belly, and the sun shone down and extended to the streets and alleys.

The deserted long street came alive, amidst the noisy streets, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey out of an inn, bought a few pancakes from the peddler who opened the steamer on the street, and sat on the donkey's back to eat while leisurely Slowly walked out of the city gate, and continued the painting that was not completed yesterday.

Passing by the demolished Wutong Temple on the way, I saw pilgrims standing in the ruins, taking out statues and burning incense to worship. It can be seen that Wutong God has set up a temple here for many years, and it is deeply rooted in people's lives.

Lu Liangsheng sighed, patted the mane of the old donkey and went forward, came to the willows on the shore of the lake yesterday, put up a frame frame, and continued to outline according to the unfinished ink on it, the lake surface was sparkling, and the lotus leaves were floating in the water. The nib of the pen moves around, drawing out the distant view of the lakeshore, the pavilions and birds, and the undulating mountains in the distance.

From learning painting to the present, Lu Liangsheng does not need to pour mana into the painting all the way, and the scenery above is lifelike. Occasionally, pedestrians who visit pass by here, and when they see the paintings of the scholar, they can't help but stop and admire them.

"This young master's painting is wonderful. If you draw a picture of a beauty, I'm afraid you can sleep with your arms around you."

"It's a good idea, this young master's Danqing, I'm afraid it's not cheap, you can't even think about it."

"It has spirit and rhyme, it has form and color, it's wonderful."

Those who can leisurely visit the Golden Lake are mostly literati, elegant guests, talented scholars and beauties. They have dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Naturally, one can tell whether a painting is good or bad. From time to time, he secretly glanced at the scholar who was chatting and laughing with others, biting his lips and cheeks pink, showing shyness.

huh~~

Suddenly there was a cold wind blowing across the shore of the lake, the willow branches were blowing up, and the Yakejia women who were watching were trembling and shivering.

"Hiss...the wind is really cold."

"Let's cool down, let's go, sit in the gazebo over there, recite poems and compose Fu, and drink good wine to drive away the cold, wouldn't it be beautiful."

"As it should be!"

A group of people smiled and complimented each other, and then arched their hands with Lu Liangsheng, and took the female relatives to the pavilion in the distance. Bang' shake sound.

Looking at the group of people talking and laughing away, Lu Liangsheng smiled, comforted Hong Lian in the picture scroll on the bookshelf, and took a Langhao pen to paint some embellishments and details on the completed Jinhu painting.

"Lu... classmate Lu."

Lu Liangsheng heard some familiar voices, and turned his face to look in the direction of the voices. The scholar from yesterday was walking slowly with a cautious expression on his face, "Is Classmate Lu continuing yesterday's painting?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Lu Liangsheng put down his pen and ink, arched his hands and laughed.

"I didn't finish the painting yesterday, and I was worried about it. I came here early this morning. You should be teaching and educating people in the school. Why are you here?"

As he spoke, he invited the other party to sit on a bluestone bench by the lake. Jin Huaian nodded repeatedly, was polite, and then sat down. Looking at Lu Liangsheng who went back to continue painting, his mouth squirmed, and he was about to speak when suddenly A tourist passed by, swallowed back the words immediately, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.

After a while, when no one was around, he looked at the scholar who was focused, clenched his fists, and suddenly stood up, "Student Lu, I... have... one thing to ask." you."

"Oh?" Lu Liangsheng glanced at him, replied with a smile, stopped his brush and looked at him with interest, "Did you come here on purpose today? You ask."

"Student Lu came from the north?"

"Yes."

"Then... classmate Lu came here, but for the sake of enmity?"

Enmity?

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that the teacher would ask something very reasonable, but he was a little baffled, he couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand: "I'm new to your land, I have no enmity with anyone,"

Am I asking the wrong question?

That Jin Huai'an was a little uncertain. Maybe the enemy of Aunt Xia's family was not this classmate Lu. Looking at the scholar in front of him, he kneaded his palms uneasily, and suddenly remembered what Aunt Xia said last night, "Jinhu family" Four words blurted out.

Over there, Lu Liangsheng hovered over the brush, frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Jin Huai'an, who was opposite him, saw that he was silent and knew that he had found the right person, so he immediately knelt down on the ground with a 'boom'.

The scholar in front of the easel quickly put down his pen and went up to help him up.

"Get up, get up quickly, why did you suddenly kneel..."
