Great Sui Guoshi

"I'm going to fight over with my teacher." Toad smiled comfortably with sunshine in his eyes, and patted his apprentice's calf twice: "You can still talk about it with your teacher, it seems that you are not too sad. "

Lu Liangsheng felt the frog webs patted on his trouser legs, and felt warm in his heart, and then laughed: "I learned from Master."

"As long as you are like that old donkey, it's not good to be a teacher."

The bald donkey with its tail flicking in the distance turned its head and looked at the two masters and apprentices under the eaves. It tilted its head, as if he had been mentioned vaguely, and ran over excitedly, wagging its tongue. Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on the donkey's mouth. Push it away.

A person and a toad lined up under the eaves looked at each other and laughed loudly.

After a while, the laughter stopped, Lu Liangsheng took a deep breath, and felt a lot more comfortable, but his tone was still a little melancholy, looking at the swaying branches in the sun, he sighed softly.

"Master, if there is a country that will never change in this world, there will probably be many fewer people like my mentor and the Duke of Yue. At that time, everyone was busy with learning, or teaching and educating people, and the generals guarded the country. The border, or the expansion of the territory, the people are busy with their own things, talking about their parents' insincerity, and watching their children go home from school."

"Delusional."

Taoist Toad followed his apprentice's thoughts and made up the picture in his brain, and he was thrown out of his mind immediately. Just as he was about to speak, his head suddenly drooped and he lost his voice.

The scholar who was still waiting for the following text looked down, "Master?"

The short figure sitting on the small reclining chair suddenly moved a bit, his expression was not as relaxed and kind as before, but majestic, he slowly got up, with his webbed on his back, and raised his chin.

"In this world, there really is such a method, Lu Liangsheng, do you know why I sent Xu Fu out of the East China Sea to look for fairy mountains?"

Ying Zheng?

Lu Liangsheng quickly realized that it was the First Emperor in Master who had awakened again, but he was not surprised, so he followed the other person's words and asked, "Why? Looking for the elixir of life?"

"That's just one of them."

With his white belly sticking out, Shi Huang jumped off the couch, walked to the edge of the stone steps, closed his toad eyes and took a strong breath of spring.

"Back then when my ancestral dragon seal was damaged, Qin's national destiny was released, and I flew to various places in Kyushu. I asked all the monks around me, searched for classics, and finally found another way to re-establish the national destiny, and it will never change, even if the heaven Even the gods can't destroy it when they come down in person."

Lu Liangsheng was curious, "What method?"

"Kongtong Seal!"

The First Emperor slowly turned his face to the side, and said in a sentence: "There are the powers of the five heavenly emperors, and the seal of the four sea dragons. At the beginning, I went out to the sea to search for this seal. If the luck of the country is suppressed From the above, there will be no more chaotic dynasties and generations today, and I will live the same life as the sky, and be the king of the world, and there will be only my Great Qin in this world!"

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, it was not found."

Lu Liangsheng joked casually: "This world is in chaos, but it's a pity that there is nowhere to find this kind of artifact."

"One person knows."

The first emperor squinted his eyes, looked across the square over there, and looked at Lishan Mountain, "Mother Lishan, my ancestor."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden shudder, the short figure standing on the edge of the steps with his hands behind his back blinked his eyes, and turned his head to look at the small reclining chair in a daze.

"When did the old man come here?"

As he said that, he sat back down again: "Liang Sheng, what did the teacher say just now?"

However, the scholar next to him got up and walked quickly to the mountain gate, and the toad yelled anxiously: "Come back, where did you just say, let me remember it!! Quack—"

Chapter 643 The gully of the sea, return to the ruins.

The gentle breeze blew across the hills, and the birds sang and fell to pull out the green branches. Watching the winding stone steps below, a young man with the appearance of a scholar passed by, turned around a nearby path and stopped.

Lu Liangsheng arched his hands and turned around, "Lu Liangsheng asks to see Lishan's old mother!"

...... Lu Liangsheng begged to see his old mother in Lishan!

The sound echoed in the mountains and forests, and the only response was the clear and crisp chirping of birds. Occasionally, porters and vendors who passed the stone steps outside ran over when they heard the sound. They glanced at a scholar, thinking that they were insane, and couldn't help persuading them .

"My son, if you want to see Lishan's mother, you should go to the temple, burn some incense, and go down the mountain quickly."

Lu Liangsheng nodded with an embarrassed smile, thanked the other party for his kindness, and after watching the other party leave, he took a deep breath and looked up at the high mountain.

.......My mother is always there, but she is gone today. It seems that she knows that I am going up the mountain, so she is hiding on purpose.

The wind blows through the woods, the rustling branches make a soft sound, and faintly hears the sound of footsteps, Lu Liangsheng turns around, and a woman in apricot yellow dress is walking slowly from the old mother temple with a basket. come over.

Lu Liangsheng laughed, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Miss Xiaodie, are you not going to buy tea today?"

The woman walking over gave him a blank look, hummed softly, and walked past the scholar.

"Some people, who are gentle and polite on the surface, may be talking bad things behind their backs."

Uh.....

Lu Liangsheng looked at the woman's back, frowned slightly, followed behind and asked, "Miss, why is this? I don't seem to have done anything, right?"

The slender figure in front of her stopped, Xiaodie turned her face sideways, and carefully looked at the scholar in front of her for a long time.

"Master Lu, my mother knows that you will go up the mountain, so I won't come to see you today."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

puff.

The woman was amused by Lu Liangsheng's words, she lowered her head and pursed her lips and chuckled twice, realizing that she had lost her composure, her face quickly became serious again, and she glanced away.

"I'm afraid it won't happen tomorrow. Teacher Lu Guo is very talkative. As long as you still hold that matter in your heart, my mother won't see you."

"I see."

Lu Liangsheng bowed his hands to the woman, and when he raised his head, the woman had disappeared, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to ask where the Kongtong Seal was.

Sighing, he was about to go down the mountain and walk past where the woman was standing just now, when he suddenly found out of the corner of his eye that the fallen leaves had been blown away, revealing the covered mud.

Ok?

Lu Liangsheng pushed aside a sycamore leaf, and there were two lines of words on the soil: "Leaving the sea in the east, returning to the ruins."

For a moment, the soil squirmed, and the two lines of characters slowly closed, returning to their original appearance. The scholar raised his head and looked around. Is this the meaning of the butterfly in the yellow dress, or did my mother borrow her to convey it?

Homecoming.....

With this vocabulary in mind, he stopped staying at Lishan Mountain, silently bowed his hands at the foot of the mountain, and quickly descended the mountain to the city. It was almost noon when he returned to Wanshou Temple. Lu Liangsheng greeted the others and had dinner Don't call him, go back to the room and close the door, turn out "The Boundless Mountain and Sea", and search for the location of Guixu on it with the help of magic.

I don't know whether it's Lu Yuan or not, or the normal line of the boundless mountains and seas hasn't even gone there yet, and there is no response at all.

'Isn't it here? '

Thinking about it, Lu Liangsheng found a few books and flipped through them, but there were no similar words. There are thousands of volumes in the attic, some left by the Holy Fire Mingzun, and some were collected from the Sui Palace before. Lu Liangsheng put down the room. After reading these books, he turned around and left the door, Hong Lian, who was guarding outside, called out: "Young Master." The scholar went straight to the end of the corridor, opened the door at the end, and several lampposts lit up with flames Brighten up a windowless study.

In front of the bookshelves, Lu Liangsheng flipped through the bamboo slips, which were sorted according to the time when the books were completed, and it was quite difficult to find them. Hong Lian followed closely, took a candle and shone it in front of two messy bookshelves, and looked at the bookshelves squatting. On the ground, Lu Liangsheng, who was flipping through the volumes, squatted beside him.

"My lord, what are you looking for, I will help you find it."

"Return to the ruins!"

Lu Liangsheng responded without raising his head, his eyes quickly scanned the handwriting on the bamboo slips, as long as he was not savoring the contents of the book, he could read at a very fast speed. Compatible with the handwriting of a volume.

"There's no need to look for Hong Lian."

"Have you found the son?"

"En." The scholar patted the two books in his hand, got up and waved his sleeves, put the bamboo slips and books piled up on the floor back to their original places one by one, blew out the candles, and went back to the room without stopping, calling this book "" Zhuangzi" book, turn to the page you just found.

Zhunmang leads the great ravine in the east to meet the wind in the garden on the shore of the East China Sea.Yuan Feng said, "My son will laugh at him?" ’ Said: ‘Make it a big valley. ’ Said: ‘Why is Xi? ’ Said: ‘Fu Dagu is a thing, it can be poured and not satisfied, and it can’t be exhausted when it is poured.I will swim! '

He read the above content softly, and then looked at another book.

'I don't know how many millions of miles to the east of the Bohai Sea, there is a big ravine, but it is actually a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom below it, which is called Guixu.The waters of the eight corners and the nine fields, the streams of the heaven and the Han, all flow into it, without increasing or decreasing. '

If these two books are combined, the word "return to the ruins" becomes more detailed.

'Return, return to this place, the ruins, the ruins are barren...the bottomless valley...that is to say, the Kongtong is printed below it? '

In fact, Lu Liangsheng was still puzzled. Since the Kongtong Seal is such an artifact, why did it end up here? Why didn't the gods take it away? Could it be that...they are afraid of returning to the ruins?

While thinking about it, the door creaked open behind him, Hong Lian turned his head, Taoist Toad walked in holding a small bowl of red rooster, and walked in while eating, "Liangsheng, the red boiled pig meat made by the little Taoist today is really good... Good life?"

Seeing that the apprentice didn't respond, he called again, and Hong Lian next to him put his finger between his lips to 'shh', and said softly: "Master Toad, you have just found out two books, and you have been thinking about the above things. Don't bother him."

"Humph."

Taoist Toad snorted, put the bowl on the ground, rolled up his wide sleeves and walked to the corner of the table: "When encountering difficulties, why don't you ask the old man? Back then, the old man looked at the mountains and rivers for [-] miles, and nothing happened." Have you seen it?! There is a lot of knowledge in my belly."

"Then master, do you know what returning to the market is?"

Over there, Lu Liangsheng put down the two books of "Liezi" and "Zhuangzi", turned his head and asked, when Taoist Ha came in, he actually knew about it a long time ago, but he just thought about the question just now, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Right now, at this question, Toad, who was struggling to climb up the edge of the table, froze for a moment, then quickly retreated under the table, picked up the porcelain bowl on the ground, and walked to the door.

"Being a teacher doesn't know everything, Liang Sheng...... Let's think about it slowly, and go out to eat first as a teacher."

The door slammed into each other, Hong Lian covered her mouth with a chuckle, her eyes bent into crescents, Lu Liangsheng over there looked back from the door and looked at the spring sunshine outside the window.

Now that we know the place of returning to the ruins, maybe we can go to sea to have a look... If there is a chance to get the seal of Kongtong, the people of the Sui Kingdom will be spared the pain of division and war.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the old tree that had taken out new branches and thought, his hands slightly curled up in his sleeves, and he settled down.

...As a national teacher, this is a matter of duty.

Chapter 644 It's OK

The news that Lu Liangsheng was going to the sea to the east was quietly spread in Taoist temples. It was unknown how long this trip would take, and even Sun Yingxian, who always liked to go outside, tried his best to dissuade him.

"Absolutely not, my Lu Da scholar, the sea is vast, and there is no solid ground under your feet. Once the boat capsizes, you will be soaked in the sea. If you want to go, you don't go anyway. Don't ask, you can get seasick in this way! "

"Hmph, I really won't go!"

"It's fine not to go, my road is quiet."

.......

Everyone had known each other for many years, so they were naturally reluctant. In the next few days, Zuo Zhengyang and Yan Chixia who received the news also came to Chang'an to persuade them, but Lu Liangsheng waved them down and said:

"Although the sea is vast and boundless, Suian also turned around from south to north in the past. Even if the sea is vast, I can also cross the sea from east to west and come back. Look, it's a lot of experience."

In fact, Lu Liangsheng was reluctant to leave the land under his feet, and he only brought the old donkey and the master with him on this trip, and Hong Lian's body was still in the Qixia Mountain Temple. Yes, the old grandson can't even invite him to go on a long trip, otherwise, wouldn't my sister be a widow?

What's more, there are more than 200 children in Wanshou Temple who need to be taught. The Taoist's stay can be regarded as a care.

"My visit may be two or three months, or three or five years. The elders, when you return to Qixia Mountain, tell them."

The spring breeze gently blew across the forests on both sides of the mountain gate. Amidst the rustling sound, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey out of the mountain gate. Looking back, Hong Lian was standing under the mountain gate, wiping non-existent tears, sobbing slightly.

Seeing the scholar turn around, he ran over and threw himself into his arms.

"Young master, just go, the second elder in the family, I will take good care of myself, and I will also look after Qixia Mountain, waiting for you to come back."

"Well, wait for me to come back."

Lu Liangsheng caressed Qingsi lightly, looked over to Qiyou, who was pouting and wanted to come over, smiled and stretched out his arms, the latter just smiled, and rushed over, resting on the scholar's shoulder.

"Old demon, I have to come back soon... If I get tired of staying here, I will want to go outside to play."

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Lu Liangsheng comforted her, patted the back of the two daughters, and smiled at the eight Lu Pan and the others over there, "Eight uncles, I will trouble you here, and money will be allocated here every month. If you buy a house, you can also bring your aunt and the others to live together."

"Haha... We are so happy now that we don't pick it up."

Lu Qing laughed and yelled, which made the other seven big men laugh with knowing eyes. Seeing them, Lu Liangsheng felt much better about parting. Just arched his hands.

"Old Zhu, farewell!"

The burly man punched him and spoke in a low voice.

"I lured my old pig to this bustling area, and I was reluctant to leave. You slipped away alone. Remember to invite me to drink and apologize when you come back. By the way, you have to call the monkey. It's a pity that you didn't overwhelm him last time."

"it is good!"

Lu Liangsheng nodded, estimated the time, shook his wide sleeves, cupped his hands in a circle, and said goodbye to the old Jiao with a big head emerging from the Furong Pond.

After leaving the Longevity Temple, I turned around and told the Taoists not to see them off, so I walked to the long street with Zuo Zhengyang and Yan Chixia who were waiting. Anyway, the two of them were going to travel far, so they walked along the way with the scholar.

On the noisy and bustling long street, Lu Liangsheng suddenly stopped, looked back at a group of people who were still standing still, squeezed a smile on his face, put down the reins, turned to face the past, and cupped his hands at them again. With a whisk, the old donkey disappeared into the crowd with no more attachment.

Jingle bell~~

The ringing of the copper bell echoed on the road outside the city, among the hurried official roads, Lu Liangsheng walked all the way to the nearby path, walked up to a hill, and there was a newly built tomb not far away, and the sacrificial banners fluttered in the wind with.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the Duke of Yue you were talking about. Alas, I remember we met a few more times." Yan Chixia squatted aside with her sword box in her arms, Zuo Zhengyang untied the wine bag around her waist, and stepped on the money paper in the past.

Lu Liangsheng took the drink and nodded to him, and unscrewed the cork on it.
