Great Sui Guoshi

The following words gradually became smaller, but the four words "Purple Star Demonic Way" made the eyelids of the eavesdropping old Taoist twitch, and when the two demons said a few more words, they hurried on their way, driving the demon wind and disappearing, the Taoist priest Only then did he get up, and waved his hand to accept the magic circle that concealed the breath.

"The Violet Star Demonic Way..."

Muttering the name, he picked up his apprentice, dragged him and walked back. The little Taoist turned around and picked up the lantern, carrying a small bag and followed behind, asking, "Master, what happened? What did those two monsters say?" Who is the Purple Star Demon Dao?"

After asking two questions in a row, the old Taoist didn't answer. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he walked quickly all the way down to the foot of the mountain. Next to a big rock, he took out a few yellow talismans from his waist and spread them out. He bit his fingertips and wrote on them. Draw a picture, and then fold it into a paper crane in the eyes of the apprentice.

"go with!"

With a spread of palms, the still paper crane seemed to come alive. The paper wings flapped slowly, and flew away from the palm of the old Taoist, rising into the night sky, turning into a stream of mana towards the gradually pale east.

The morning light breaks through the gaps in the clouds and pushes away the darkness, and shines on a certain mountain surrounded by clouds and mist in the north. The birds fly across the surging sea of ​​clouds and land on the old trees on the winding mountain road. , the old man with white beard and hair is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, behind him are winding stone steps, and the towering mountain gate is higher than a section of tree cages, and he wrote: Chengyun.

Clouds are overflowing, spreading past. On the stone steps is an open platform. The floor tiles are white and black, forming a huge yin and yang. Carved, the word "Tao" is painted with red paint of unknown material.

In the sun, it looks grand and solemn.

On both sides, there are densely packed hollows, which are not connected to each other. Sometimes smoke can be seen wafting out, and figures can be seen sitting cross-legged in meditation, meditating and enlightening.

In the light of the sky in the distance, there was mana flowing, and someone in the mountain gate below raised his head, his robe fluttered, spread his palms, and let the paper crane that was flowing mana come down, and in a moment, it turned into a yellow talisman in that person's hand, with two lines on it After taking a look at the handwriting, he hurriedly walked to the main building, bowed his hands to the guarding brothers, stepped inside, and called out respectfully.

"Headmaster."

In front of the portraits of people in front, incense is lingering, and the old man with white hair is cleaning the incense burner and paying respects to the ancestor.

"The patriarch is flustered in front of him, what's the matter?" The old man moved the position of the small stove, turned around and wiped the ashes from his hands, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Outsiders, the method of Feihe sent a message, and the Purple Star Demon Dao appeared."

The old man who had just sat down held the tea and stopped his movements. Even the guard outside the door heard this sentence and looked inside.

The purple star demon way...

Bah!

The teacup was placed heavily on the table, the old man closed his eyes, and after a while, he got up and passed the doorman who reported the news, walked out of the room, put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge word "Tao" on the mountain wall.

"The troubled times have just settled, and the evildoers are rampant again. We have never enjoyed peace by killing demons and eliminating demons. Where is Chengyun!"

On the distant mountain wall, many voices came from the cave, mixing together.

"I am here!"

The old man waved his wide sleeves, and a dharma sword flew out of the building and hung on his back, shouting loudly:

"Follow me to slay demons and demons—"

The Dharma sound was powerful, resounding through the mountain gate, and the dense hollows instantly lit up with Dharma lights, shooting out from the inside like shooting stars.

.......

The Dharma light streaked across the morning sun and shot towards the sky, and the message was centered on this and also flew to the other monastery gates at the same time. The news of the reappearance of the purple star demon way that made trouble in the past is like a scoop of hot oil poured down Clear water, boil up.

From the Lihuomen in the southeast, more and more figures came out, following several elders in the gate and quickly descending the mountain, and the Juling Mansion in the central Dazhou, which was hidden in the world, also responded to the call of the fellows and rushed to Chang'an.

The news of the reappearance of the once notorious toad monster spread among the ascetics. Those who knew it and those who didn’t know it was spread in words, or they rushed to help out, walking in twos and threes. Hu's burly figure lying on the rocks and basking in the sun comfortably was also invited to be in the column.

"What the hell is that monster that sent so many people of the same way?"

"Brother, you don't know? The Purple Star Demon Dao, who was a disaster in the past, slaughtered the people of a town, and then killed countless cultivators. It took a lot of effort to injure him, and now he came out again, naturally I want to go over and help one or two, to subdue demons and eliminate demons!"

"That's what makes a demon into a spirit?"

"I also heard that it seems to be a toad."

The bearded man who was walking with them stopped and frowned even more.

"Toad... I remember that Fellow Daoist Lu also has one by his side, could it be..."

A few people on the same road stopped and looked back at him: "This fellow Taoist, what's the matter? Do you have any doubts?"

"nothing."

That man was Yan Chixia who was a chivalrous hero alone. He shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just used to walking around alone. This place is not far from Chang'an, so I'll go alone. Farewell, everyone!"

After bidding farewell to these cultivators, Yan Chixia turned in a different direction to avoid their route. For the doubts in her heart, she naturally needed to find Lu Liangsheng to solve them.

I hope it's not the toad next to Fellow Daoist Lu...

The footsteps gradually accelerated, passing through the mottled spots that fell to the ground in the forest, and headed for Chang'an.

The sun spread across the clouds, far away from the land that once belonged to the Northern Qi Dynasty, like the mountains where the Buddha lay lying down, and the morning bell rang long and loudly.

Boom~~Boom~~~

The sound of the bell is thick and simple, reverberating in the mountains. Pilgrims and tourists immersed in the sound of the bells and burning sounds go to and from the mountain roads paved with bluestone slabs to watch or worship countless Buddha statues on the cliffs devoutly.

In the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple where the crowds came and went, the Maitreya-like monk Fajing guarded the closed door. At a certain moment, the Zen door opened, he opened his eyes, got up and turned around, and an old monk with a thin figure and a pale beard walked out slowly.

"Master.....Father!" Fa Jing clasped her hands together and bowed.

"Fajing!" The old monk named Zhenhai erected the Great Fearless Dharma seal on his chest, and took the purple gold bowl enshrined in front of the Buddha statue with his other hand and held it in his palm. In his gentle tone, there was an irresistible majesty. One glance, like the angry-eyed Vajra in Buddhism.

"Follow me out of the temple."

"Yes!"

The fat monk tilted his head, and left with his master inexplicably, and then went down the mountain. However, he hadn't come out for a long time, and Fajing felt a little relieved. I don't know if Master Lu is still traveling. If you meet him, chat with him all night also good.

...... Well, there is also Sun Daochang.

Probably thinking of the beauty, the corner of his fat mouth snickered, and quickly covered it up again, and followed the master all the way to the west.

.......

At the same time, the west gate of Chang'an was crowded with people, loudly hawking and attracting customers. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey and the pig mane all the way through the bustling long street. I went to the inn, washed up, changed my clothes, went to Lishan clean and fresh, and visited my mother in Lishan, so I didn't feel like a failure.

Inside the rickety bookshelf, the short figure's eyelids twitched.

"Liangsheng, hurry up and go back to Qixia Mountain after finishing your work. My teacher's eyelids have been twitching a bit recently. I always feel that someone misses my teacher."

Taoist Toad was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and his head was also tied with a bow tie. He propped his chin and looked out at the verdant summer hills outside.

There was a bad premonition in my heart.

...I went out for a trip, and my whole body was injured. If I don't go back, I will take care of it. I'm afraid I won't be able to repair the demon pill.

Quack~

Chapter 353 Here I Come

The hot sun passes through the green fields at the foot of the mountain, mottled cast on the mountain road, and amidst the sound of cicadas, the tinkling of copper bells slowly came from the foot of the mountain.

The scholar, the black man, followed by an old donkey up the stone steps.

Flags of "Fengzi Tea" were fluttering, and outside the tea shed, a woman in a yellow dress politely thanked the waiter of the tea shop for sending her off. Speaking, the scholar walking along the mountain, his lips trembled slightly, and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow", holding a rag to his chest, crying heartbreakingly and trotting back to the tea shop.

wow--

After the cry went away, Lu Liangsheng took a while to realize what was going on, shook his head with a wry smile, and led the old donkey to follow the woman in the yellow skirt.

"It's a great fortune for a girl to be by my mother's side. Why bother playing with ordinary people, it will only make him sad."

The woman was carrying the teapot, walked ahead without looking back, and said softly:

"It's better to be sad than to be infatuated. If you can't stay together, why bother to ask for it, Mr. Lu thinks what I said is right?"

These words made Lu Liangsheng feel a little bit, and he couldn't help but think of Min Yuerou, people who practice Taoism go through a long period of time, and if they get together, they may not be able to stay together for a lifetime in the end.

Before the scholar could speak, Zhu Gangli on the side grabbed the words and trotted behind the woman, nodding repeatedly.

"The female Bodhisattva is right, right! My old pig thinks so."

In the sound of cicadas, after passing the stone path on the halfway up the mountain, the passing travelers gradually became less and more desolate, and when people gradually disappeared, Lu Liangsheng followed the woman in yellow to the mountain wall where he had been before. This time, there was no need to salute. Following the other party, he went straight into the mountain wall and came to another world where Lishan's old mother was.

Butterflies danced around the sea of ​​flowers, the outline of the mountains in the distance, and the clouds and mist saw cranes singing, spreading their wings and drawing a trajectory in the mist.

"Master, old pig, you wait for me here."

Lu Liangsheng turned his head to Taoist Toad, who was looking inside the small door of the compartment, and Zhu Gangmane, and he followed the woman to the green forest, shook his wide sleeves, and bowed respectfully to the forest.

"Lu Liangsheng paid a visit to his mother, I have returned from Liangjie Mountain."

There was no movement in the green forest in front of him, the branches just swayed and rustled in the wind. For a moment, only Lu Liangsheng could hear the old woman's voice, gentle and kind, rang in his ears.

"How is Lao Shen's righteous brother living at the foot of the mountain?"

Do you want to tell the truth?Or tell the old mother with the monkey head's words of relief?

Lu Liangsheng was in a bit of a dilemma. If he told the truth, he didn't know if it would arouse the anger of this old Lishan mother. After thinking about it, he reorganized his language and said:

"Going back to the old mother, the monkey king was tortured at the foot of the mountain, not free, lonely and miserable, but let the younger generation go back to the old mother, he has a good life, no disease, no disaster, no trouble, and said that after he has to get rid of it in the future, let the younger generation lead him to watch the fireworks in the world , enjoy peace and prosperity.”

"This monkey..."

Among the emerald forests, Li Shan's old mother uttered a voice that was not happy, but sad.

"...If you have thought this way a long time ago, you won't end up like this, Lu Liangsheng..."

Hearing his name being called, the scholar's voice was indifferent, he arched his hands, and quietly listened to the old woman's next words.

"...Your disciple's body has recovered, go and bring him back. Remember not to get involved in the affairs of the human dynasty, and don't tell others that you have come to me for help."

"Liangsheng, thank you Zi Yuanjun."

Hearing that Qu Yuanfeng was fine, Lu Liangsheng didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed respectfully again. Anyway, it's not surprising that many people salute, and if you pay respect, you won't lose a piece of meat, and maybe you can form a good relationship.

"and many more."

Just as he was about to follow the woman in yellow to leave, the voice of Li Shan's old mother came again.

"Blessings and misfortunes live together. This way of going encounters difficulties. Only by remembering the original intention can we gain something. We can use the boundless mountains and seas for a good life. Don't let the predecessors plant trees and reincarnate karma. Go."

Mom... what do you mean by that?

Lu Liangsheng saluted, followed the woman in yellow to think about the words, then looked back at Cui Lin, with doubts in his eyes.

"Are you warning me?"

When I came to the cold pool of the mountain spring and the Zhuochen pool, the cold water was calm, and wisps of white air permeated and intertwined around the stone platform, nourishing the body lying on it all the time.

Lu Liangsheng cast the spell of controlling water, stepped on the water surface, and on the stone platform, the apprentice's face returned to the rosy face of the past, the dark skin became a little lighter, and the slightly undulating chest and abdomen showed that the body and soul had been fused.

Perhaps feeling the familiar breath, he closed his eyes and trembled slightly, and slowly opened them, seeing the master in front of him, Qu Yuanfeng smacked his mouth weakly.

"Master..."

"Don't talk, close your eyes and continue to rest, so as to avoid the root cause of the disease."

Lu Liangsheng stretched out his fingers and lightly tapped between the apprentice's eyebrows. Qu Yuanfeng, who was about to speak, opened his mouth, closed his eyelids, tilted his head to the side, and fell into a coma.

"Shrink!"

With a pinch, the body lying on the stone platform quickly shrank to the size of a palm, and the scholar picked him up and put him in his sleeve pocket, then returned to the shore, passed by the woman, and saluted her.

"It's over, please let the girl take us out."

"Master Lu, please."

The woman in yellow was short and blessed, and walked in front to lead the way. After a while, she returned to Zhu Gangyi and Taoist Toad who were waiting among the sea of ​​flowers.

"Liangsheng, how's the disciple and grandson?" Daoist Toad, who was all in bandages, stood on the old donkey's head and poked his head.

Lu Liangsheng patted the wide sleeves, and held Qu Yuanfeng who was sleeping peacefully inside in his hands. Only then did Toad feel relieved. On his bandaged head, the bow was swaying, and he smacked his lips and turned back to the bookshelf compartment.

"That's good. Anyway, the grandson of the old man, it's fine."

Here, Lu Liangsheng bid farewell to the woman, and when he left, he also bowed his hands to Cuilin with peace of mind, called Zhu Gangyi who wanted to go up to the woman to get close to her, pulled the old donkey out of the world, and returned to Li The outside side of the Old Mother of the Mountain.

The sky slanted, and the incense in the tripod slowly rose to the sky above the main hall. The smoke was lingering. Travelers were chatting and laughing. Vendors were hawking snacks and selling incense and money papers. Lu Liangsheng looked at everything in a happy mood.

'The world is full of smoke and fire, and it is pleasant to go wherever you go. '

Thinking that the apprentice has been saved now, he should be able to return to Qixia Mountain, so he talked to the master in the cubicle and Zhu Gangli who came with him, the two demons naturally did not object, one wanted to rush back to repair the injury, and the other Thinking of the scholar painting him a portrait of Yue'er in thin clothes.

"Then let's go, what's the delay?"

"Yes, Liangsheng, if you stay any longer, I feel afraid that you will be seriously injured..."

When Toad thought of the recent injury and didn't want to recover as quickly as before, he felt a creepy feeling in his pores, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Okay, then go to Chang'an and talk to Yu Wentuo."

Lu Liangsheng packed up his robes, took the reins before it was dark, and went down the mountain all the way, passing by the tea shop, the shop assistant still had tears in his eyes, but he was all right, busy with the tea After thinking about it, I didn't have time to feel sad for him. After a while, I would naturally forget about it.
