Great Sui Guoshi

"Oops, we ran into a horse thief."

As the horse team stopped, the black man at the head glanced at a mountain road going down, and heard words in his ears, as well as four familiar feelings.

Immediately, he looked at the straight road in front of him, and his thick eyebrows frowned, "Four generals of the Demon Family?"

A suspicious voice murmured, pinched the horse's belly, and urged the horse to pass slowly. In the moonlight over there, four figures crowded together and stood in a row. Over there, the black man approached, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he turned over quickly Get off the horse, arch your hands.

"So it's really the four heavenly kings. When did you restore the lower realm of the Dharma? Just in time, Liu Tulu and I have already gone south. The four heavenly kings will come with us, please!"

Yu Chigong held up one hand and made a gesture of invitation, and one of the four people over there raised his hand and said, "We don't..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pinched by the brother behind him and his back softened. Meat, the scholar quickly nodded to the black man: "No need, we have other things to do, so let's leave first!"

"Wait!"

The black man stretched out his arms and blocked the four of them. After examining them for a moment, doubts arose in his heart, "It's strange...could it be possible that the memory of the four heavenly kings has been deviated after being entrusted to the world because of the damage to their previous Dharma images? No, you can’t stay here, take it back and discuss it with Liutu Deer.”

Over there, the four scholars didn't dare to look directly at the pair of 'horse thieves' and tremblingly moved to the side, wanting to go around and leave, when suddenly their bodies tightened, and the four knights grabbed onto the horse's back.

"Heroes, let the four of us quibble...explain, we only want to be hermits in the mountains, not thieves!!"

However, no one paid any attention to these four people, the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded again, and they galloped back in the direction they came from.

.......

As the night went on, the outline of the mountain was dimmed. As time passed, the golden morning light came from the east and pushed inch by inch along the ground and the foot of the mountain. Qu Yuanfeng and his party, who had a short rest for the night, rushed for several days, and finally left Taihang and came to the west. Facing Jindi.

At the same time, Liang Shidu's army has already attacked Jin, echoing the conquest of Taiyuan all the way south to Liu Wu and Zhou Yao. On the official roads to and from Gyeonggi, the news of countless fast riders carrying around the beacon continues to spread.

Then, it was sent to Chang'an like snowflakes and sent to the imperial palace.

In Furong Pond, Wanshou Temple, before receiving the news, Lu Liangsheng was sitting in the attic room with his eyes closed, when a stick of incense stuck in the incense burner suddenly snapped.

The rice grains covered on the desk seem to have invisible hands writing on it.

This is a message from Han Qinhu in the underworld.

This chapter should be tight, otherwise it will be a bit slow.

7 Chapter Forty Two Entering the Underworld, the Ghost King Welcomes

know...know...

Know.....

The sun shines on the scorching rays, and the summer cicadas are lying on the hanging pine branches and neighing one after another. In the square in the distance, a group of children are holding up their robes against the scorching summer, listening intently to the Taoist’s words, and the branches swaying slightly in the wind Next, the old donkey was lying on its side on the ground, squinting, and flicking its tail from time to time.

The woman was wearing a white dress, carrying ice-cold plum juice, and floated across the small building to hand it to the two old people. The skirt turned around and floated back to the room. Inside the opened door was an old man with white hair like a waterfall closing his eyes, sipping Smiling slightly, walking softly, put the sour plum soup lightly, took the cattail fan beside him, and fanned the cool breeze.

"Master Toad, how long has it been, Young Master?"

On the bed, Taoist Toad, with his legs crossed, squinted his eyes, looked at Nie Honglian who was turning towards him, snorted, smelled the smell of sour plums, sat up, and hooked his frog webs.

"Bring the sour plum soup to the old man. Recently, I drank too much soup. I found a way to drink soup more conveniently."

As he spoke, he took out two small bamboo tubes from under the pillow, spliced ​​them together with a snap, put them in his mouth, stretched out one end to the soup bowl, and sat on the bedside, while shaking his flippers leisurely, while sucking the sour plum juice In the mouth, the cold, sour, sweet feeling crossed the taste buds, and the moment it passed through the body, Taoist Toad narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"Master Toad, just know how to eat and drink, or sleep, and help out." Nie Honglian squeezed her fingers, walked back and forth on the desk with her embroidered shoes on the floor, her tone was quite complaining.

Over there, Taoist Toad let out a chuckle, opened his eyes, comfortably took out the bamboo tube in his mouth, looked over at the apprentice who was sitting upright in meditation, and shook his head.

"My apprentice, I don't need any help now. The old man is also relaxed, eating and sleeping well. Come here, little female ghost. Recently, Xiaoxian made some new clothes. Let me help you choose which one looks good."

"never."

Hong Lian was still as young as 16 years old, squeezed her nose at Taoist Toad, made a grimace, turned around and floated away, sat at the round table, propped her chin, and hummed softly.

Qiyou is not here now, and since Lu Liangsheng left, she has gone to somewhere, Hong Lian sometimes thinks that it is good to have someone bickering.

In the room, the censer was burning incense, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in through the gap between the slightly opened window sills. On one of the burnt incense sticks, ashes broke and fell into the furnace soundlessly. Hong Lian also stopped speaking, got up and floated.

"My lord, you finally woke up, I brought you sour plum soup, you taste... eh, where's the soup?"

Lu Liangsheng smiled, walked along the desk that the woman held up with both hands, it was empty, and then looked at the bed, where there were two empty bowls, Taoist Toad was looking over with a bulging stomach.

"I thought that Liangsheng hadn't woken up, and the old man was afraid that it would get cold, so I drank it first to make do with it...... Hiccup."

"Master Toad, you!!"

Hong Lian was so angry that he stomped his feet a few times, and a gust of wind blew around the room. Hearing the commotion over there, Lu Liangsheng smiled and turned his gaze back. The strokes are separated to reveal the handwriting.

- Can re-enter hell.

This is a message from Yama King Han Qinhu.

"Sure enough, Yincao has his own people to handle things...Han Zhuguo has gained a firm foothold so quickly." Lu Liangsheng covered the table with his sleeves, and the rice grains flew away, and none of them fell into the porcelain bowl on the other side of the bed. Heaped up, and was about to ask Hong Lian to go outside for a walk, when the voice of disciple Yu Wentuo suddenly sounded in his ear.

'Something happened to Master!The disciple will arrive at Longevity Temple soon. '

The voice was transmitted by mana, Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and the woman's words "what's the matter?" sounded beside him, but he didn't hear it, so he quickly walked down the stairs and went outside.

The sky was bright and bright, Yu Wentuo walked up the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, holding the hem of his robe, came to the outside of the eaves, bowed his hands and saluted, Lu Liangsheng raised his hand in a false manner, and asked about the content of his Fayin message just now.

"What happened?"

"In the past two days, there have been reports of non-stop reports from outside, and there have been rebellions in various places. His Majesty was extremely angry and became very angry."

That’s all, Lu Liangsheng took out the transcribed news from his sleeve, and unfolded the note, which summarized the content that had been introduced to Chang’an in the recent period. First, rebels such as Wagang Li Mi and Cheng Yaojin attacked Luoyang before, and three days after their arrival , Wang Shichong of Luoyang rebelled, joined the Wagang bandit army, and sent troops from Hangu Pass to Chang'an non-stop.

At the end of May, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi rebelled, attacked Taiyuan, and crossed the Taihang Mountains to the south. The nearby Sui army collapsed at an astonishing speed. Now it has entered Jindi, joining forces with Liang Shidu, who also rebelled in Xiazhou.

On the second day of June, Dou Jiande went out of Hebei all the way through Luokou Warehouse, along the north bank of the Yellow River, preparing to circumvent Tongguan, cross the Jinghe River and point to Chang'an.

Sudden news of rebellion from all over the country, accompanied by urgent and frantic dispatches along the eight hundred miles, the people were even more panicked and chaotic. They dragged their families and fled from the home that would become a battlefield. All the officials got up overnight, dressed neatly and ran to the palace. They knew the real situation. Emperor Yang Guang, seeing these snowflake-like battle reports, was still furious with "Ah--", he kicked the dragon case down, and his whole person became in a trance.

.......

White clouds are like fluff, swimming across the blue sky.

Amid the annoying chirping of cicadas, Lu Liangsheng hung the paper behind his back, raised his face and took a deep breath. The purpose of those gods to come to the world has been achieved, and it is not at all to lead the rebellious army to attack cities. The occupation left a mess and ruins, and the city was in chaos. What the people faced was that in a city that lost order, all kinds of tragedies would happen.

"...Lou Jingou Li Mi, Jiaomu Jiao Dou Jiande, Pleiades Chicken King Shichong, Kuimu Lang Meng Haigong, Winged Fire Snake Liang Shidu, in 28 Suli, there are quite a few of them supporting the anti-kings in various places, as well as other ministries. Immortal, it seems that Chang'an is going to make a big disturbance in the world."

The sunlight flickered between the trees, and in the murmuring voice, Lu Liangsheng flicked his sleeves, turned and walked to the attic, his words sounded, and he called Sun Yingxian in the square over there.

"Old grandson!"

The latter looked sideways: "What's the matter?"

"Set up the formation, go to the underworld!"

Step into the building, go back to the room, grab the unicorn cloak, put it on the body, take the three pillars of Yinhun incense that have been prepared, and go down the hall again, and the several tables and chairs that are placed in the audience are creaking and moving. Make a space for yourself.

"Do you want to call back the old pig to escort you down?"

The Taoist shook off a roll of yellow cloth and rolled it to the ground, revealing a formation of five ghosts in five directions. He set up a banner and said something. Over there, Lu Liangsheng lit a long incense stick, put it in the incense burner and held it in his hand, sitting cross-legged in front of the formation.

"No need, just stay by your side."

I don't know how many days will be in the past to go to Yincao, so I don't want to delay any more. After saying that, I closed my eyes, and the outline of the spirit and soul floated up, wrapped around the incense, turned into a golden light and sank to the ground.

Compared with the discomfort before, Lu Liangsheng was able to get used to coming back to the Netherworld. Spread out in his hands, an old paper umbrella was suspended in mid-air to cover his figure, and he floated towards the gate of hell.

When the outline of the sky-penetrating city wall could be vaguely seen, a war horse neighed suddenly from afar.

sigh -

In the darkness, the man with the hooves of the red horse stood up, and the wind blew, and a roll of green robe was shaken from above.

A general in a robe with a golden armor inside, a long beard and a face like a jujube, stood there with a dragon sword in his hand, squinting his eyes and nodding his head, he was also looking at Lu Liangsheng under the umbrella.

After a while, he slowly raised his hand and arched the knife heavily.

"The ghost king of the lower realm, Guan Yunchang has seen the Great Sui Imperial Master!"

There may only be one chapter tonight, maybe ha, I wrote it at 04:30 last night, now I feel a little dizzy

Chapter 741 Guan Junhou

The heroic spirits of famous generals and officials who have passed away are somewhat awe-inspiring, especially the exhaustive descriptions in popular unofficial history. Lu Liangsheng has naturally read many novels other than classics. Back then, in Zhou Zhen's mansion, three bookshelves were full, and he almost read them all. , I also have a certain understanding of Guan Yu who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, after so much experience, the gods and monsters have seen a lot, so they didn't lose their composure, and with a serious face, they shook their sleeves and bowed to the ancient man in front of him.

"Meet Guan Junhou."

Over there, the heavy-faced general held a knife in one hand, stroked his beard with the other, nodded his head with half-closed eyes, got off his horse, arched heavily with the knife, and spread out on his side.

"Master Lu, please!"

"Your Majesty, please lead the way." Lu Liangsheng stared at the paper umbrella floating over, looked at the famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who was only seen in the book, and stretched out his hand with a smile, inviting them to walk together and showing respect.

As they walked, majestic generals drifted away from time to time. As for why Guan Yunchang would appear here to greet him, Lu Liangsheng probably guessed that it was Han Qinhu who came down from the Netherworld, and some former generals who had been recruited by him were after all warriors who led the battle. The age is not too far away, and communication and persuasion can be achieved.

The figure holding the red rabbit slightly opened his phoenix eyes, his eyes flashed coldly, "Master Lu, what do you mean by looking at Guan?"

"Guan Junhou misunderstood, but I can't help but think of an old friend when I see the general."

Lu Liangsheng turned his words around, and didn't hide what he had just looked at twice. He smiled and talked about the Tianzhi City God who had met several times and had some friendship.

"He is also from the same era as Junhou. His surname is Zhou and his name is Yu. He is now working as a city god in Tianzhi, so he was a little curious just now and looked at Junhou more."

"Duke Zhou."

His beard and beard fluttered in the dark wind, Guan Yu leaned on the handle of the knife and walked slowly, nodding his head and looking at the ghost gate in front of him: "Guan knew him. He was familiar with my elder brother when we met across the river. I never thought that I would hear his name again after I died." , It's a pity that he is the city god, but Guan, a majestic Hanshou Tinghou, can only wander in the nether world and be the king of ghosts."

Lu Liangsheng didn't speak. Looking at Guan Yunchang, who was so powerful in Huaxia, when his prestige was at its peak, he felt a little sorry for him. In fact, anyone who encountered such a gap would have a deep obsession and couldn't let it go. Everything was reincarnated, and then he spoke a few words of comfort and asked about the Netherworld.

"Beyond the gate of hell, in the wilderness of darkness, is there still such a famous general as Guan Junhou who has not been reincarnated?"

"Yes, but I can't see it."

Guan Yu thought for a while, then sighed: "It's like my third younger brother is also here. He can only see his shadow and hear his voice from a distance, but he can't get together. I can't see each other, alas..."

It turns out that this kind of thing still exists in the Netherland Realm. It seems that only after entering the gate of ghosts can all the ghosts reunite... And Guan Yunchang, a ghost king with too much obsession, can't enter it. Arrogant and unwilling to serve others, he can only wander in the Netherworld.

...I just don't know what method Han Zhuguo used.

While thinking about it, the two of them had already come to the gate of hell, and when they saw the huge ghost head again, Lu Liangsheng arched his hands: "Lu Liangsheng, the national teacher of the Sui Dynasty, please see the two gods, Shentu and Yulei!"

"Master Lu, you don't have to be so humble to them."

On the side, Guan Yu pressed down Lu Liangsheng's clasped hands, lifted his knife, got on his horse, raised his hooves and ran to Guanxia, ​​raised the tip of the knife to point upwards, and shouted violently: "Shentu Yulei, open the city gate to welcome Lu Guoshi in, otherwise Guan will lead you in." The soldiers attack the pass again and capture you two!"

Uh......

Looking at Guan Yunchang who was riding a horse and wielding a sword, Lu Liangsheng lowered his hands and was speechless. It seemed that this was not the first time. No wonder he became the king of ghosts, but he couldn't enter the gate of ghosts to be an official.

'With this temper, even if there is a disagreement, he dares to fight with the Emperor of Mount Tai. '

Thinking about it, Hong Zhong's words reverberated in the gloomy world around him, when the ghost head with the big mouth turned his eyes to look over, on the tower, the two gods holding halberds in colorful armor showed their figures. The green-robed and gold-armored general who immediately slashed his sword had an ugly expression on his face.

"It's the Ghost King Guan Yunchang again..."

"It seems that I didn't bring the Yin soldiers here this time."

Shen Tu patted the wall in confusion, walked back and forth for a while, then turned around: "Open or not?"

"The new Yan Luo Wang is strong, since he opened his mouth in front of the emperor, let's turn a blind eye."

The two gods bowed their heads together and muttered together for a moment, then made up their minds, Yu Lei walked over the ghost head, gathered Yin energy in his palms and slapped the wall.

Roar! ! !

The head of the ghost opened and closed its mouth and dragged the bricks and stones, and the sound of grinding stones slowly rose, revealing a black cloud spinning, and the ghosts who had formed a "long queue" were pushed to the left and right to make way for a path, and the gods on the tower Lei Ershen, arched his hands.

"Master Lu, please enter."

"It's work!"

Lu Liangsheng bowed his hand to return the gift, and as the paper umbrella and Guan Yu over there floated into the center of the black cloud, his vision twisted, the scenery in front of him pushed away the darkness and faded back, and what unfolded at the bottom of his eyes was a long stone road paved with white rocks. The green trees on both sides show the winding mountains in the distance, and the birds in the forest are singing.

Except for the still gloomy sky, there is nothing to do with the houses of wealthy people in the Yang Dynasty. Lu Liangsheng walked along the road, and there were more and more ghosts floating around. A long line of ghosts walked to the high arch bridge in front of him amidst the scolding of the ghosts. An old woman with a stooped figure can be vaguely seen below, holding a porcelain bowl and handing it to the passing souls, watching them drink.

"Master Lu, this way please."

He was a little dazed, and when he heard Guan Yunchang's voice, Lu Liangsheng came back to his senses, smiled to cover up his embarrassment, and followed, "Then Naihe Bridge?"

"Yes."

Guan Yu nodded, looked away, and led the way. He didn't care about these things, but was interested in the other buildings. He introduced them to Lu Liangsheng, walked down Naihe, and saw a building standing in the shadows in front of him. The walls are glazed tiles, and a pair of white lanterns are lit at the gate of the temple, revealing a faint green light.

"The hall is the King of Qin Guang, Jiang Ziwen, Jiang Xin, Guangling, Moling Wei at the end of the Han Dynasty. It is said that he was also a person at the same time as Guan. Unfortunately, he has never seen it. After his death, he built a shrine by scaring the people and Sun Quan's children. There is today's god position, hmph, Guan is not inferior to him."
