Great Sui Guoshi

"Can the Dragon King recognize this thing?"

On the opposite side, the slightly raised dragon eyes shrank slightly, and nodded slightly hesitantly: "I know, two years ago, this thing fell from the sky and fell into my dragon palace at the bottom of the lake. I took it back to collect treasures. Let me improve my morality, accompany me day and night, and slowly the fragments melt into my body... Sigh... Now that I think about it, I have been impetuous and easily angry for more than two years. It's related."

After a while, the words stopped, and the old dragon raised a puff of smoke, turned into an old man, covered his injured shoulder and neck, and stretched out his arms to embrace his daughter who was standing in front of him.

"Yunxia, ​​you have been wronged these two years, so come here and don't do unnecessary things."

"Father!"

Regardless of the woman's obstruction, the old man walked to the front, looked at Lu Liangsheng, and smiled between his beard and beard: "Master, you do it, I am willing to be punished!"

At this time, the Taoist and Yu Wencheng who had gone to the distance had already returned, and the sound of galloping horseshoes came here. Several cavalrymen raised their hands and threw three things to the ground. A green horse and a yellow dog.

Everyone got off their horses one after another, knelt down on one knee, raised their hands and shouted in unison: "Report to the national teacher, with the assistance of Daoist Sun, the three demons have been shot and killed by us!"

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng leaned over to check the corpses of the three demons. The woman who was protecting the old man squeezed the corners of her clothes nervously. Looking at the corpse on the ground, she subconsciously wanted to cover her father behind her, but the old man shook her head to stop her.

"Yunxia, ​​no."

At this time, Lu Liangsheng straightened up and looked over, his eyes fell on the father and daughter, and he spoke indifferently.

"As the Dragon King of Jinhu, enjoying the sacrifices at the Fragrant Temple, I should have fulfilled my duty to protect the people here from the evil spirits, but you gathered the evil spirits, allowed the temple to be fooled by the villagers, and let these evil women be at fault, but I miss you I have practiced here for thousands of years, have never harmed others, and my good nature has not faded away. Our national teacher decided to take your dragon tendons and punish you for 500 years at the bottom of the lake. When the period expires, come find me again and redeem the dragon tendons. Can you be punished?!"

Longjin, Yunxia's face was pale, and when she turned her head, the old man on the side had already walked to the front and knelt down on the ground facing the scholar.

"Jinhu Dragon King, I wish to punish you!"

The kneeling figure suddenly glowed with light, and a long shadow flew away from the body on the back. Lu Liangsheng flicked his wide sleeves, put it in the sleeves, looked away from the weak and trembling old dragon, held the sword After getting up, he turned around and strode towards the easel.

Voices are coming too.

"Xiagu, you are a member of the Jinhu Dragon King's family. You should not be punished for your father's crimes, but you are also involved. During your father's punishment, you will replace your father here, do good deeds, protect the villagers, and do not leave without permission."

When the woman supported her father to get up, she heard the words, and reacted, water stains appeared in her eyes, she helped the old man, and then knelt down like that, looking at the figure who was leading the crowd away, knocking lightly. down.

"Yunxia, ​​Mr. Xie is extrajudicial!"

Chapter 6 Eighteen

The night wind blew past the post house, the lanterns under the eaves creaked and shook, two bonfires were set up in the courtyard, the skinned yellow dogs and pythons were rolled and roasted on the spears, the fat was bubbling and dripping. Entering the red burning coals, the flames burst into flames.

"It's almost over. Last time, that fat pig was so satisfying to eat. What kind of monster, didn't it end up falling into the stomachs of our brothers!"

"...Haha, it still depends on the blessing of the national teacher, otherwise we will be eaten."

"Speaking of which, the meat of this monster is really fresh and tender, very refreshing!"

"Come and have a sip of wine first, moisten the five internal organs temple, and eat more later."

"Is it not good for us to eat like this? After all, we are monsters!"

"Is it good or not? As the saying goes, what is obtained from the human world returns to the human stomach. This is called the cycle of heaven!"

"...Speaking of it, today is an eye-opener. Dragon, mother, is so big. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see it again in this life. I have to brag to my other brothers when I go back."

"That's not necessarily true. If there is a chance to travel far away with the national teacher in the future, maybe even the rumored Phoenix can meet..."

"Hahaha--"

Sparks rose and filled the yard. The station officials watched from afar a group of military men from the capital. They took off their armor, held wine bowls with their arms open, and competed with others. Gathered in twos and threes by the fire, drinking and grilling meat, hissing Shouting, laughing and cursing, a few men took the plates, cut the roasted meat, walked to the eaves, laughed and walked into the main hall like maids and maids.

At the big round table, Yuwen Chengdu offered wine to the Taoist beside him. Sun Yingxian kept picking up vegetables, put down his chopsticks, reached out and took a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. In the mouth, chew and swallow with the dishes into the stomach.

"Daozhang Sun, you have a good drinker!" Yu Wencheng put down his glass in embarrassment. According to his usual temperament, he was so polite and called the other party a long time ago. The spell is mysterious, the more it is like this now, the more it feels like it should be.

"Sun Daochang, I don't know where the national teacher has gone? Such a celebration, why don't you come?"

The Taoist with the food in his mouth turned his face sideways and rolled his eyes, bulging cheeks and chewing quickly, pinched his chopsticks and pointed to the top of his head, and said vaguely: "He doesn't know how to eat these things, you want to please him, Why don't you please me, I'm his brother-in-law!!"

"Ah? Then... that priest eats more!"

Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly took the plate from his subordinates, pushed it in front of the Taoist, and even prepared to ask someone to go to the brothel outside to call in two prostitutes. Sun Yingxian subconsciously glanced at the top of the dome, repeatedly placed his chopsticks, and said in a low voice : "I can't do it, I will change my way of life and return to the right, and if I don't go out and be happy, let this matter go!"

Above the interlaced banquet, there are hanging lamps flickering a few candles, extending up the roof, the bright moon coming out of the night clouds, casting a clear light on the roof, and a figure sitting there.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the moonlight in the night sky, his eyes were a little lost, thinking that he had become more and more confused in the past few years as a national teacher.

Especially after the death of Yang Jian who single-handedly established the prototype of this prosperous and prosperous age, Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, wanted to use persecution to make the newly enthroned emperor become another "Han Wu". It seems that everyone has their own things to do at this time , and I ran around, checking for omissions and filling in vacancies, first "Mountain and Sea Picture Records", and then the demon star came to the world, and now I have to collect the fragments of the demon star scattered in Kyushu.

But in the end, nothing is ever quite done.

Among them, there is also the secret involved by Lu Yuan... He used the Kunlun mirror to reverse time and space, is it really to stop the demon star?

"Master, do you think it's better for others to practice Taoism and lock themselves in the cave without any distractions, or is it better to travel through the world like me and see love, hate, love and hatred in different worlds?"

On the side of the roof, Taoist Toad, who was holding onto the treetops with a web and looking down on his feet, smelled the aroma of barbecue, and watched a lump of roast meat that was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside with his eyes staring straight into his mouth. Chew and suck the saliva hanging from the corner of your mouth.

"Didn't you choose it yourself...it must be a lot of oil and water, and it looks delicious."

"The road is indeed chosen by me."

The scholar watched Haoyue drifting past a sliver of cloud, casually picked up a dead leaf that fell on the tile, and twirled it in his hand.

"...I still remember the blood letter that my teacher gave me when I was in Lanruo Temple. I am getting more and more confused and struggling, Master is someone who has experienced this, so what good guidance do you have?"

Standing on the eaves, Taoist Toad looked at the bonfire below. Someone took off the whole roasted yellow dog, cut off a huge piece of meat, and swallowed his saliva.

"Eat? Naturally, you have to clean the tendons first, separate them and eat them one by one, and sprinkle with the special seasoning made for the master. It's delicious, and the tendons are chewy. You can use them as an after-dinner snack. You can chew one if you don't mind."

Under the soft moonlight, Lu Liangsheng thought about the metaphor of Taoist Toad, and gradually understood in his heart that it was comfortable for someone to say these words to him. The cold moonlight shone on his face, with a smile on his face.

"What Master said is that you really need to be clear about what you do, and you know what you should do first. There are too many things piled up in the past, and it seems to be clear all the way. Master is standing on the sidelines. This metaphor wakes me up. "

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Liangsheng's expression became serious: "The impact of the fragments of the demon star is too involved. If you hadn't prepared in advance, it might have been folded into the hands of the Dragon King of Jinhu. If you think about it, there are big demons who also sucked the fragments of the demon star. I am afraid that I will stop the disaster caused by anger."

Knowing his purpose in his heart, Lu Liangsheng calmed down his mood just now, stood up and cupped his hands to Taoist Ha over there.

"Thank you Master for enlightening and teaching, I will go down first."

"Well, let's go."

The toad holding the branch nodded, and after saying the word 'go', he turned his face full of doubts: "When did the old man enlighten you?"

and many more!

Taoist Toad looked at the apprentice who descended to the courtyard, cupped his hands towards the soldier, and walked into the main hall, staring at Toad's eyes.

'It's not about taking me down with me as a teacher...not right, the old man has recovered the demon core, how can I not even go down a house, it's just a joke. '

In an instant, with a wave of the frog's web, a puff of smoke rose, and he turned into a chubby old man with white beard and beard. He flicked his wide sleeves, nodded and took a step.

click!

The tiles cracked under his feet, Taoist Toad froze in place, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed: "Bi Qimother..." The next moment, there was a bang, and the hole was stepped out. It fell and disappeared on the roof.

Immediately, the Taoist screamed "Ah—" from below, and the tables and bowls were knocked over and there was a lot of noise.

The moonlight is as silent as water, gradually fading away the night clouds.

.......

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh~~~

The cock crowed loudly.

The golden autumn day pushes away the early morning Qingming, the courtyard of the post house, green smoke curling up, the bustling imperial city for a night, the forbidden rider packs up, dresses up and leads the horse to the long street, and bids farewell to the county magistrate and others who are seeing him off.

"General, what about the national teacher, I haven't seen the national teacher face to face..." The county magistrate arched his hands, his eyes swept around the crowd, but he didn't see the figure of the current national teacher. Inevitably asked.

Yuwen Chengdu hangs the phoenix wings upside down and gilt boring, turns around the horse's head and smiles: "The national teacher has a lot of things to do, and I have already taken the first step. I will return to Chang'an to return to my life, and I will leave!"

"Then... slow down, General!"

"drive!"

Yu Wencheng nodded, pulled the reins, tapped the horse's ribs with his heels, let out a loud shout, and galloped away, followed by a group of banned riders who shouted loudly, brandishing their whips and galloping after him.

The three county magistrates who didn't see the national teacher watched each other drift away, and then went back to the house, took the carriage to the street, looked outside the curtain, a scholar who passed by, led the old donkey, Sighing, it was a pity that he did not see the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, and then he put down the curtains, and left in a carriage through the hustle and bustle of the long street.

jingle jingle...

The old donkey followed the rein in the scholar's hand and walked out of the city gate shaking the copper bell. In the early morning sunshine, he passed by the bank of the Golden Lake. In the distance, a scholar in dusty robes stood by the lake, looking at a blooming lotus in the lake. Hearing the sound of the copper bell, he raised his eyes and looked over, smiled and bowed to this side with fists folded.

Lu Liangsheng smiled at him, raised his hands, and led the old donkey away. Under the morning sun, it gradually disappeared into a blur, and the sound of the copper bell disappeared.

Chapter 6 Nineteen Stories of the Northwest War

"Old Lu!"

"Scholar Lu!!"

More than a hundred miles away from Huai Ling, autumn became more and more intense, pieces of withered and yellow leaves floated to the dirt road, bought hooves and stepped on them, and the old donkey walked leisurely, wagging his tongue and shaking the copper bell around his neck. Lu Liangsheng, who was in front, heard the Taoist's voice behind him, and slowed down.

Looking back, the road was full of smoke and dust, and a figure with a cane, with a magic amulet attached, limped and ran quickly. After catching up with the donkey in front, he slowed down, stumbled and sat on the roadside stone, and The talisman on the leg was torn off and thrown aside.

"Also... don't say wait for this way."

Reaching out to take the water bag thrown by the scholar, he took a sip: "I'm exhausted..."

On the back of the donkey that stopped, Hong Lian fluttered out of the bookshelf, fell to the shade of a nearby tree, squatted on the ground to pick two wild chrysanthemums, held them in his hands and smelled them, stretched out his hands to pick another few, the old donkey poked his head, A tongue rolled the flower into her mouth, and the woman was so angry that she patted it on the head.

Lu Liangsheng smiled and gathered the reins and passed by. He imagined a chair and sat down next to the Taoist, "Who told you to run away? Didn't they tell you to rest in Huailing County for two more days?"

"This little injury is nothing, the old toad is even worse!"

Hearing the Taoist's voice, Taoist Toad's muffled voice came out from the small door of the bookshelf over there: "My mother, I don't know who yelled so loudly last night!"

"The leg was almost broken by this Dao, can you stop screaming?!" The Taoist smashed the ground with his crutches, and pointed to the top of his head with gestures: "Who told you to climb so high? I am eating and drinking. How can I prepare for it?" .”

Make a big circle with your hands.

"Suddenly, such a big person fell down, the mother of Yuer, and sat directly in Bendao's arms, Xiaoxian has never sat in it before!"

The small door of the bookshelf compartment over there opened outwards with a bang, Taoist Toad's head was wrapped in a bandage with a bow on it, and he narrowed his bean-sized toad eyes and stared at Taoist.

After a long while, he choked out a sentence: "Hey mother, croak."

"You want to scold me again, old toad!" The Taoist was not timid, leaning on a cane, with one foot bent, hopping over.

"I am not afraid of you! Old mother Yueer!"

"He's his mother!"

One person and one toad immediately spat at each other, so that Hong Lian, who had his hips on his hips and taught the old donkey, covered his ears, and got into the painting scroll in a posture of reluctance, and the laces were instantly tightened by themselves.

Again.

Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting by the side of the road, watched the two of them quarreling, shook his head and raised his hands to get rid of the illusion. The moment he got up, his face froze, and he subconsciously touched his chest and abdomen, and the sealed spirit of the demon star suddenly He became restless and forcibly sank into the small world, only to see clusters of red glows surrounding the sea of ​​spiritual knowledge and floating demon pills rampaging.

The scholar withdrew from consciousness, pinched out the Fajue with his fingers under his sleeve, and tapped it on his chest. His face turned pale and sweat dripped out. He staggered to the bookshelf, and found a book at random. While calming down the mood, the aroused arrogance slowly calmed down the agitation.

"Scholar Lu?"

"Good life?!"

The person and the toad on the bookshelf turned their faces together, and Lu Liangsheng squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, let's go on, go back to Chang'an quickly, I'm worried that Uncle Pan and the others won't be able to feed those children."

After saying something casually, Lu Liangsheng exhaled the turbid air accumulated in his chest, and regained his previous handsome scholar. He took the rein from the old donkey's neck and pulled it in his hand. Quickly grabbing the door frame, he stabilized himself.

"You old donkey, fortunately, the old man was prepared, and almost caught you again!"

Hum ang huh~~~

The old donkey tilted his head and sneezed in disdain, turned around and raised his head, followed behind his master, walking briskly, wagging his tail.

"My mother's..."

Taoist Toad has nothing to do with this old donkey. Toad has two big bumps on his face. He embraces the frog web and leans against the purple gold gourd angrily. In the next few scrolls, Hong Lian hides in it and laughs softly. The autumn sun shone At the foot of a mountain, the voices of people, donkeys, and Taoists are the way to go! In the words, I walked through the mountain path full of dead leaves.

Past several winding mountains in front of us, we can vaguely see the stretch of fields beyond the mountains, the smoke from the villages rising into the mountains, Lu Liangsheng is walking beside the old donkey, looking at the closed small door of the compartment, frowning thinking about what happened just now , I have some doubts in my heart.

"Master, the spirit of the demon star has been in your body for two years, but I have never seen you being infected..."

Walking along the unknown foot of the mountain, Taoist Ha's muffled voice came from the small gate.

"Hmph, what level of cultivation as a teacher, how can you fall on it? For a teacher with such a capacity, it will be fine if you seal up some more. You can't learn this. This is a gifted supernatural power for the teacher. Okay, okay, don't worry about it." Spend time on this, if you can't seal it up, let Wei Shi come, hurry up and hurry, Wei Shi is starting to miss the meal made by that old pig."

According to the master's analysis, he should still eat this kind of volume. The red glow demon star seals him in his body, just like putting it into the vast and boundless starry sky. Normally speaking, Lu Liangsheng should also put the spirit of the demon star on himself into Taoist Ha There, but thinking of Master's Taoism, if one day he is affected by a demon star, I am afraid it will be a real disaster.
