Great Sui Guoshi

The golden light was blocked on the opposite side, flickering, for a while, there was a sound outside: "Young master!" "Old demon!" "Master Toad, the young master has left the customs!", the voice of heaven came faintly from the light.

"Complete the Ten Thousand Spirit Formation, the heaven will pick you up, and you will become a fairy in the flesh, and ascend to the heavenly pavilion!"

The sound stopped abruptly, and the beam of golden light shrank from the roof in an instant, extending into the sky and clouds. In less than a moment, the originally gloomy sky, the clouds cleared, and the sun shone again, shining through the window lattice into the stillness. Quietly in the room.

In the sunshine of Lu Liangsheng's robe, the dust danced. He stood there for a while, pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to open the door. They looked like children who hadn't grown up, smiling and crowded there with flat shoulders. When they saw Lu Liangsheng coming out from inside, they clasped their hands together, bowed and bowed down, saying: "Disciple, congratulations sir (master) for leaving the customs!"

"I am back."

Lu Liangsheng picked up the two children in front of him, and looked at the two women, one white and one black, on the opposite side. Hong Lian's eyes turned red when he heard these gentle words, but there was a warmth spreading from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, and his hands began to swell. Trembling, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, followed the dimples of laughter on his face, and fell on the skirt of his clothes. Finally, he couldn't suppress his emotions, he rushed over, threw himself into the man's arms and cried.

"It's okay...I've only been there not long."

To Lu Liangsheng, this "soon" is not too long, even thought it only took half a day, but to this world, or to those who are waiting for him, it is a long, long time.

The woman buried in her arms cried softly for a while, then raised her face while sucking her nose, "It's not long, it's been 20 years... Sitting in the yard, I look at the surrounding mountains and forests, green and yellow, yellow and green. Go and cover the mountain with white snow again... Over there, the small trees planted by my concubine have grown into towering trees, and Master Toad has grown white beards."

"Old man, I had a white beard from the beginning, and I still need you, a little ghost girl, to say..."

At some point, Taoist Toad appeared nearby, turned into a chubby old man, and looked at the apprentice who had left the customs with a smile. Lu Liangsheng let go of Hong Lian and came up to greet him.

"Disciple, pay homage to Master."

"What are you praying for? I'm tired of being a teacher here, and there's nothing to eat. I can leave anyway. I'm happier than anything else in my heart as a teacher."

Now that many years have passed, Daoist Hama doesn't know what's going on outside, and he never leaves this place, just because he is afraid that something will happen to his apprentice.

At this time, Lu Liangsheng came out of the gate, feeling that his cultivation base was much higher than Zhanxu's in the past, but at least he didn't know what the next realm of human monks was, and he seemed to have never heard of it.

After a few people chatted and laughed together, Lu Liangsheng looked around, but he didn't see Zhu Gangyan and Gongsun Liao. After asking, he found out that the old pig had a boring life and left a few years ago, saying that he was wandering around. , Later, I went back to Guanli once and lived in Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain.

As for Gongsun Liao, he disappeared without saying a word, and Taoist Hama didn't know where he went, maybe he went further to the northwest desert.

"My lord, what are we going to do next? Do we want to go back to Qixia Mountain?" Hong Lian calmed down, remembering that he hadn't been back for so many years, and he was very worried.

Lu Liangsheng nodded, looked at the old donkey running towards him with his tongue flicking, and looked beyond the undulating mountains outside, where the sun was shining brightly.

"It's time to go out, go home and have a look, and then...do one last thing."

Chapter 8 and eight in a hurry for 20 years

"That's the end of the story, are you satisfied?"

"and after?"

"It's in the back. After the demon star is finished, where did the national teacher go? You don't say it. There is a beginning and no end. It's not a story. It's better than the fox repaying the favor told by the uncle next door at the village head, cooking for the farmer every day." The porridge story is nice to hear."

At dusk, along the ridge, it fell on the dilapidated eaves, under which a few bunches of air-dried vegetables were hung, and a few children gathered together, looking at an old man in a dusty robe on the low stool under the eaves, a little dissatisfied with the story, Qizui There was a lot of yelling, and one of the little girls with pigtails blinked and asked timidly:

"Grandpa, then... will the national teacher become a god in the end?"

Hehehe.....

The old man took a sip of cold water, put the chipped pottery bowl on the ground, looked at the little girl and nodded, "Yes." Then he looked at the children around him, patted their heads, got up from the ground, and walked to the fenced yard Wall, took an old donkey tied there, and thanked the owner of the house.

"Master, thank you for the water, the bowl is placed under the eaves, and the old man bid farewell."

When a group of children heard that the old man was going to leave, their dissatisfaction was immediately withdrawn, and they swarmed over and followed, pulling the old man's robe and shaking it lightly.

"Grandpa, drink some more water." "How about I ask my mother to make a bed for you, so you can sleep at my house."

"My house is fine too."

"Well, my father doesn't say anything."

In the room over there, the woman came out, waved and yelled at the children to disperse, saying something like, 'Don't get in the way of the old man. ''It's getting late, so go home quickly. '

Dispersed a group of urchins, and then turned around, the old man looked like an old pedant just now, he raised his sleeves and bowed to her, sat on the old donkey, patted the donkey's head, in the gradually reddening sun, along the doorway The path left slowly.

"What a strange old man." The woman murmured softly, shook her head and turned back to take the pottery bowl on the ground under the eaves. There was a soft tinkling sound inside, and several copper coins were skewed and overlapped, "Here...just drink, Give me back the money..."

After chasing to the gate of the courtyard, there is no sign of a donkey on the path. The sun shines down, and at the end of the path with low grass, there is a faint sound of "jingle bells" in the distance.

"Walk so fast?!"

Tread....Ding Ding Ding...

The old donkey raised its hoofs lightly, then fell down again, walked across the gurgling stream and wooden bridge, and swayed the copper bell around its neck cheerfully. The evening breeze blew, and the trees rustled lightly. Hanging a seven-pointed bronze mirror, reading a book in the sunset, the snow-white beard on the face gradually fell off, the pale hair bun was black and blue again in the sun, the wrinkles disappeared, and the skin returned to its youthful appearance.

Sitting on the back of a donkey, a picture of a scholar riding a donkey unfolds slowly.

Not far away, a wisp of green smoke turned into a silhouette, embroidered shoes gently stepped on the green grass, Nie Hong squatted down to the wild flowers in full bloom, leaned over to smell them lightly, for a moment, her beautiful eyes were like the crescent of the moon, bursting into pear dimples and ran to the front, stretching Opening his arms, the hem of the skirt swirls, and he makes a nice laugh.

Hearing Yinling's chuckle, Lu Liangsheng raised his eyes from the page, looked at the woman in front of him, and chuckled.

"Hong Lian is still the same as before."

The bookshelf on the donkey's buttocks was placed. In the voice, the small door under the shelf opened, and two short legs hung out from the edge of the door. In front of the horizontal gourd, a toad in a colorful robe sat leaning against it , lit a pipe, puffed out a puff of white smoke, and spit out a mouthful of 'Hot'.

"I've become an old girl, and haven't changed."

In front, the old donkey turned his head back, neighing loudly, as if echoing Toad's words, and carried Lu Liangsheng leisurely across the country road.

Soon, at dusk, the village surrounded by cooking smoke moved away and was gradually covered by mountains. This time, when we returned to Qixia Mountain, we had crossed the Yangtze River, and it was only a hundred miles away from Hegu County. When we came out of Wujiang Mountain, we also passed by Chang'an. On the road to the Western Regions, there were numerous caravans, horses and camel teams. From a distance, Lu Liangsheng saw the "Sui" flag floating on the city tower. Lu Liangsheng still didn't set foot in the city. He just inquired about His Majesty today. After a trip home and seeing how the Grand Canal was being repaired back then, maybe then I would go to the capital to see Yang Guang, but the emperor must be old.

The sky gradually darkened.

The stars and the moon hung in the night sky, and the undulating mountains in the dark night looked like female beasts lying in the shadows, and there were a few wolf howls from time to time.

In the past, the village was a barren mountain. Lu Liang was born on the back of a donkey and walked into a bamboo forest in front of him with the rein. Clusters of emerald green bamboos stretched all around. In the night wind, leaves fluttered and fell on his shoulders and feet.

"Master, let's stay here temporarily tonight."

Lu Liangsheng waved his sleeves and swept away the bamboo leaves on the ground. He flung himself on the blanket and put the bookshelf aside. Soon, a bonfire was set up and a small pot was set up to cook food.

"My lord, I'm going to find some more firewood."

Hong Lian floated to the forest, the bookshelf creaked, Taoist Toad changed his clothes and came out with his hands behind his back, and sat by the fire, amidst the sound of boiling water in the rice pot, he tilted his head to look at the book page by the firelight apprentice.

"How did you walk so slowly in the past two days? A little afraid to go back?"

The cold moonlight shone down from the gap between the swaying green bamboos above, and the surrounding bamboo forests rustled softly in the wind. The scholar who turned over a page over there made a soft 'hmm' sound, and his eyes stayed on the paper, as if he was reading a book , also seems to be thinking about the problem.

After a while, Hong Lian came back with a few dead bamboos over there, and Lu Liangsheng just spoke here.

"20 years later, I don't know what happened to my parents... and Xiaoxian and my grandson."

It was still a little cold in the spring night, and the toad stretched out its webs by the fire to keep warm, rubbed its frog webs, and snorted.

"You went to the sky, and you can't feel how the time is passing by. You are so worried, why don't you ask your teacher? How did you get here after staying in the mountains for 20 years?!"

Lu Liangsheng smiled and raised his face: "Then how did Master come here?"

"Eat it!" Over there, Hong Lian, who added firewood, laughed lightly, and spoke first.

snort!

Toad Daoist stared at her, picked up his flippers and turned in one direction, making the old donkey crawling next to him grin and moan, and it became lively. The long night gradually passed by in the flickering fire, in the fragrant rice porridge, and fish maw appeared in the east. At that time, the bonfire was extinguished, and the bookshelf was relocated to the donkey's back.

After packing his bags, Lu Liangsheng let the old donkey follow him, and patted the bronze mirror on his waist, "Tuo'er, we're back to Qixia Mountain." '

He said softly, and the seven-pointed bronze mirror hanging at his waist buzzed and trembled twice. The toad with legs crossed in the cubicle turned his head to look at it, knocked on the cigarette rod, and shook out the soot inside, "Look at Tuo I was very excited, speaking of it, I haven’t seen the beautiful scenery of Qixia Mountain for a long time, and I miss the thatched hut in the mountain.”

Hong Lian floated above the old donkey, then descended to Lu Liangsheng's side, folded his arms and turned around to make a grimace.

"Master Ha is probably missing my aunt's food, um...maybe he misses the grizzled hen at home."

"You little ghost!"

Taoist Toad's cheeks puffed up, he tightened the cubicle tightly, the door flapped, walked out of the bamboo forest, looked from the gentle slope, he could faintly see the official road, but the bronze mirror on Lu Liangsheng's waist was still there Shaking, followed by a sound.

"Master, there are evil spirits, and there are still people doing it."

The morning light came from among the clouds and fell on Lu Liangsheng's handsome face. His eyes looked into the distance, his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he just hummed softly.

Chapter 8 Nine Encounters in the Forest

The breeze of the breeze blew across the foot of the mountain, more than 20 miles away from Hegu County. In the dark mountain forest, the sun shone through the dense tree gaps. Suddenly, the light and the branches shook violently, shaking off a large leaf and swirling down. At that time, it seemed to be squeezed away by something, and the tree behind trembled with a 'bang'.

A figure leaped up from the tree body, passed through a ray of sunlight, pulled out a mahogany sword on its back with its backhand, and shouted loudly: "Monster, eat my sword!!"

A sudden sound exploded in the forest, and the figure leaping into the air pushed the hilt of the sword, and the mahogany sword body lit up with magic light and flew out with a 'swish', going to the front of several trees, halfway into the ground, and falling The young man pinched his finger and put it to his chest, making a hasty cry.

"Edict!"

Faguang cracked along the ground, with a loud bang, sand and fine stones splashed up, a black figure broke through the ground, turned over in mid-air, fell to the ground, quickly faded into the shadows in the forest, and lit up A pair of green eyes, crawling on the ground, a long hairless tail swaying in the air, the black shadow stared at the young man who cast the spell, slowly moved his limbs, and there was a rustling... sound.

"Hey, you little Taoist priest with no hair at all, you also learn how to meddle in other people's business."

"Good guy, you can even spit out people's words! No one can do it except you."

The young man took out a bronze mirror from the yellow cloth bag, his cloth shoes gently stepped on layers of fallen leaves, and took strange steps. In the corner of his vision, the mahogany sword inserted not far from the monster suddenly shook, and the surrounding forest suddenly rustled. There was a rattling sound of 'squeak...'.

His heart pounded violently, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

'It's the first time I meet such a smart monster, how can I set up an ambush? '

'No, I can't lose my father's name as the number one Taoist in Chang'an...what should I do?what to do? '

Beads of sweat mixed on his cheeks, the young man glanced at the mahogany sword, walked over slowly, and pointed at the black figure crawling in the shadows over there.

"Hey, it's a bit shameless to call the rescuers... just wait for me!"

He tapped his fingers a few times, and the moment he got close to the mahogany sword, he hurriedly reached into his chest and took out a yellowed book. His eyesight was bad, and his face moved closer to it. Then he closed the book with a snap, his face flushed. Bewildered, he went back again.

"Oops, dad gave me the wrong book...not this one."

Whispering, there were shadows of rats all around, climbing towards them at an extremely fast speed, the young man recovered his senses and pulled out the mahogany sword, holding the bronze mirror in one hand, and the sword in the other, turned around and ran, with both legs showing afterimages.

"Mouse spirit, you wait for me, if you mess with me, you will have no good fruit to eat!"

"Hey...don't wait, I'll come over now, but I don't want to eat fruit...hehe."

The black shadow in the shadow laughed hoarsely, and burrowed into the ground, picked up a small lump of soil and turned over the fallen leaves, and hurriedly chased after it. A group of rats around them chirped and chirped, burrowed into the ground and followed closely .

The young man who ran wildly in front looked back from time to time, more than a dozen evil spirits drilled in the soil, rushed towards him frantically, turned around and started cursing.

His name is Sun Xiaoyun, and he is now in his twenties. He grew up in a mountain village and studied Taoism with his father for many years. He was blown down the mountain in an instant, and there was only a small mountain. He was a good-looking fox, but his skills were so high that even his father didn't dare to get hot at will. He just lay beside the waterfall all the year round, never leaving. It is guarding the magic circle set up by my uncle back then.

In my memory, I seem to have such an uncle, but I have never seen him in so many years. When I was young, I often followed my parents.Grandma and grandpa have heard some, he is a great person, he must be very powerful, otherwise how can he subdue such a powerful fox demon, even if he is not in the mountains, the fox demon will not leave.

At that time, Sun Xiaoyun aspired to be a father, and he was a chivalrous cultivator like his uncle. Seeing that the children in the mountains had learned their skills and left, he couldn't wait to pack his bags and listen to his father's instructions. Warning, Fei Ye ran out of Qixia Mountain, determined to step out of a new world.

At least I have to embrace a beautiful woman... Sun Xiaoyun thought so. After visiting Fushui County and seeing Hegu County, which is bigger than the county seat, after leaving the city, he was a little at a loss and didn't know where he should go. Where, after all, I don’t have much travel experience, so I can only go north or west all the way. Fortunately, two days later, I passed a village. I heard that there were monsters in the village. The night was ruined.

Since he came out of the mountain, he finally encountered a monster that he could beat. Before long, he lurked in the village for three days, and sure enough, in the middle of the night on the fourth day, he ran into a big rat, which looked like a sow in a pen and could scare it. The dead man fought several times, managed to get a little upper hand, forced the other party out of the village, and followed him around for several miles, chasing him from late at night until early in the morning.

"Yue Er waited for my mother, I chased you for a while, now you chase me all the way, can it be considered even!!"

Panting heavily, Sun Xiaoyun howled backwards. He was about to leave the woods in front of him. The sun was shining brightly outside the woods. Just as he was rushing past, he heard a few donkeys braying. A man and a woman were leading an old donkey. Talking and laughing, they walked in, presumably they were husband and wife, the woman was beautiful, wearing a plain white dress, and the man on the other side was elegant and handsome, seemed to have seen him and turned his head to look.

"Go, don't come in, get out!"

Sun Xiaoyun waved his hands a few times, he didn't dare to shout out the word 'there are monsters', for fear of frightening the other party, but the couple on the opposite side just stopped in surprise, looked at the young man who was running, and flew straight from the side go.

Feeling that the couple didn't move, they gritted their teeth and stopped.

"Just die!"

Pulled the mahogany sword from behind again, turned around and stared and shouted: "You bastards, my Daoist...is...is..."

The moment he shouted the words, the man whose eyes were turned away suddenly raised his hand, only to feel blurred in front of his eyes, and heard the sound of a sword unsheathed in his ears, and a long sword full of engravings dragged his hand. The light rushed up to the sky and then sank into the ground. Sun Xiaoyun only felt the ground tremble a few times under his feet.

There was a buzzing sound, dozens of cracks appeared on the ground in front of it, and the sword energy visible to the naked eye criss-crossed back and forth. Two nearby big trees were affected, and they were split into two halves from the middle with two bangs. With the dense tree cage falling down towards the left and right sides.

puff!

The long sword broke through the ground, crossed the forest, and fell silently into the scabbard on the bookshelf. The next moment, streams of sticky blood emerged from the ground split by the sword aura, emitting a foul smell.

"I'm afraid this is a sword fairy..."

Sun Xiaoyun stared dumbfounded at the bloodstains on the ground. Before he recovered, the man leading the donkey came over and said to him with a smile: "Your method is not bad, but you need some time, and don't underestimate any monsters." , and don’t act recklessly, maybe there are good monsters.”

As he said that, the man suddenly reached out and touched his head, took the woman and the old donkey, turned around and walked out of the forest, as if he came here specially.

After reacting, Sun Xiaoyun hurriedly rushed out, but unfortunately, there was no one in sight.

"I really met an expert when I went out... That's right!!"

Suddenly remembered something, slapped hard, and touched the book in his arms.
