Great Sui Guoshi

"If you are a young man in the mountains, if you meet your master, who is the so-called Purple Star Demon Dao, you will not embark on the path of cultivating the Tao, let alone see this vast and colorful world. This is a favor, and I will pay it back.

... You and my master had a rift in the past. He ate many people and killed many people. This is enmity, and it is what you should do. "

The scholar stopped talking, closed his eyelids, gritted his teeth and let out a breath, then slowly raised his hand, causing the surrounding cultivators to hold their breath, and Yang Su, Duke of Yue from the top of the tree, descended to the ground and ran to the clan In front of the elder brother's head, he shouted: "Fellow Daoist Lu, no!"

However, Lu Liangsheng over there didn't seem to have heard the words, but slowly opened his eyes, retreated his wide sleeves to his wrists, and raised his sword fingers.

"...But he is my master. I don't know what he did in the past, but he has never done anything harmful to anyone since he was with me for many years. On the contrary, I can have today because of Master Xun Xun. teach......

…I remember a time when Lujia Village had a dispute with a neighboring village and went to court. I remember Master said that people must stand upright, stand upright, uphold justice and stand in the world, and do not hesitate. "

Behind the scholar, Taoist Toad kept standing with one web and lifted the other to stride, his eyes glistened with water, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Why did the old man accept you as a bad guy...apprentice..."

Lu Liangsheng looked ahead, and when he heard the faint voice behind him, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

The memory seems to go back many years ago, on the drought-stricken land of Heliangzhou, on the platform for praying for rain, amidst the bright yellow lightning and thunder, the short figure galloping up the stone steps threw a purple gold gourd to block him. It's thunder.

"...Although my master is a demon, his nature is not bad, but Lu Liangsheng will not justify the murder he committed!!"

After the words fell, the extended sword finger suddenly pressed the left shoulder and pulled it outward. Bubo grinned with a hiss, blood gushed out, and only a wisp of fresh air floated out and scattered in the air.

This time, all the cultivators on that side were silent. They thought that the scholar would plead for the Purple Star Demon Dao, but they didn't expect it to be so straightforward, and it took a long time to recover from the shock.

"This guy is serious, his cultivation base is scattered, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to cultivate."

"...What are you guys going to do next? The other party has already taken it down for the Purple Star Demon Dao. If we are still pressing each other tightly, it would be shameful to say it."

"But what about the people who died back then? A mere Nascent Soul Realm, if it is abolished, it will be abolished. Why talk so much, just kill that big monster!"

"No and no, if this is the case, we will fall into the inferior vehicle, which is not good for our practice."

"Well, but I don't know how much of what he said is true."

"Hey, if the Violet Star Demon Dao changes to cannibalism, I'll eat my magic weapon on the spot!"

.....

At the gate of the city, Yang Jian on horseback was a little unclear, so he could only see Mr. Lu scratching his shoulder, as if he had been seriously injured, he almost knelt down, pulled the reins, and immediately came to the side of his brother.

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

"He... blocked the crime for his master and abolished his cultivation."

"There's no reason for this!!"

Hearing these words, Yang Jian's cheeks swelled, and he reached out to grab the hilt of the sword at his waist, but before he could pull it out, he was held down by Yang Su, who pushed the horse's neck back to the city gate.

"Your Majesty, you can't help it. You can't get involved. This is a matter between ascetics, not to mention that the other party has taken advantage of it."

"Then go help Mr. Lu!"

Yang Su looked at the emperor on horseback, opened his mouth slightly, wishing to slap himself, but before he could speak, there was a loud voice on the tower, shaking the night sky.

"Master—"

On the city tower, the soldiers yelled in a panic and scattered in all directions. Then there was a loud bang, and the bricks of the wall were shattered and splashed. Fist, standing on the wall stack of the stepping, brown and blue eyes looking down coldly.

"You...you... bully my master alone?!"

When the wind blew, the clothes fluttered up, and there was a blue light all over the body. The stars and the moon in the sky were overcast at this moment, the surrounding forests swayed wildly, and the broken branches of the trees were blown up by the wind, flying in the night sky.

"Yu Wentuo, stop!"

Lu Liangsheng propped himself up weakly, and yelled at the city wall with all his strength: "This is for the teacher, don't mess around!"

After saying that, he pointed to the abdomen again and pulled it out.

puff!

A wisp of fresh air flew out and then dissipated.

"Master..." Yu Wentuo drained his mana, and stood on the top of the wall in a daze, watching the figure staggering and falling to his knees weakly.

hoo hoo...

Lu Liangsheng could feel that the mana in his body was gradually disappearing. Behind him, Yan Chixia, Zuo Zhengyang and others who were immobilized, and the monster broke free from their restraints, and Taoist Toad rushed up.

"Liangsheng, Liangsheng, don't scare me as a teacher, why did you do this." Taoist Hama choked up his words for the first time.

The scholar raised his face with difficulty, looked at the master in front of him, and squeezed out a smile.

"What Master did, I did..."

Saying that, Zuo Zhengyang and Yan Chixia also rushed over and helped the scholar up. Lu Liangsheng supported their arms and looked at the people opposite.

"...In the future, in Luohe Town, Lu Liangsheng will set up a monument there to pray for the dead. I wonder if it is possible?"

In the night, one after another figure fell silent. They are all cultivators, so they naturally understand that cultivating the Tao is not easy, and self-abolition of cultivation, this kind of thing, I feel sorry for the scholar, not to mention that the other party never took the initiative to do anything. , keep goodwill, if you really want to continue to embarrass, many people feel blush.

Seeing that no one spoke, the old Taoist priest in the middle couldn't help looking at the two gates of Lihuo and Juling.

"Fellow Daoist's filial piety on behalf of Master is touching, but the sin of countless lives being slaughtered back then can be easily resolved by non-Daoist friends who abolish their cultivation, but today the poor Taoist no longer intends to persecute him, let this monster go for now. "

"You guys are here, hmph, retreating again, you really save face!"

The old monk in Zhenhai didn't bother to look at them, ignoring the cultivators who were blown away by his words, and looked at Lu Liangsheng and Taoist Toad next to him.

"Monster, if you commit a crime, you will be punished, how can you be free and easy!"

Throwing the golden bowl in his palm, the golden light suddenly shone brightly. Monk Fajing shouted urgently: "Master, don't do it!"

wow~~~

Above the night sky, there was a soft sound of robes fluttering, and the golden light in everyone's eyes suddenly dimmed, and a cassock covered it, wrapped and falling down.

"My Buddha not only has the vajra with angry eyes, but also has compassion to save all sentient beings!"

An old monk wore a thin monk's robe, chanted a Buddhist mantra with his Dharma seal upright, and walked slowly to the Zhenhai monks with a nine-ringed tin staff jingling, with a smile on his skinny cheeks and a slight bow.

"Junior brother, stop."

Lu Liangsheng had seen this monk before, and later he heard from his master that the Dharma name is Zhenkong, a famous virtuous and eminent monk in Wanfo Temple, many people who practiced Taoism fell into confusion, and many people asked him to solve their confusion. More and more monks hung down their magic weapons.

"Since Master Zhenkong said so, let's go."

"Just right, I don't want to embarrass this scholar either. This man's personality is rare for ordinary people, so it's no wonder he can be full of aura and walk away."

"Hey, this trip was in vain, and Master Zhenkong is there to protect... Forget it, let's not talk about it, I know there is another place where evil spirits are haunting, I will get rid of it!"

"Count me in, wait a minute!"

All kinds of excuses, group after group of cultivators left in twos and threes, and Lu Liangsheng couldn't hold on for a long time. He raised his hand and wanted to salute the old monk opposite, and the tiredness he had never experienced hit him like a tidal wave. Shaking fell between Zuo and Yan, and passed out.

The next moment, Yan Chixia picked him up and rushed into the city, escorted by Yang Jian's soldiers, and flew to Yuwen Mansion.

......

"Brother, why are you blocking me?!"

Seeing the figures receding from the city gate, especially Taoist Toad standing on the back of the old donkey and looking back, Monk Zhenhai waved his robe sleeves and walked back and forth, gnashing his teeth.

"That evildoer was almost executed in my hands back then. This is a great merit. In the future, after passing away, he will be able to soar to bliss!"

The Zhenkong old monk closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Junior brother, you are too persistent, you are obsessed. Then Lu Liangsheng blocked today's killing, which can be described as a great virtue. He cut off the karma of repaying injustice. Why bother, brother, to bring the karma back?"

"you!!"

Zhen Hai couldn't refute. He stared at his senior brother for a while, then turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves. He jumped up and disappeared into the night. The monk Fajing who was beside him hurriedly apologized to his uncle and went after him.

The reason was full, and the wind blew away to the foot of the mountain in the distance. Hua Hongyi, who was sitting on the top of a tree watching a play, slapped the trunk of the tree hard, shaking the leaves of the big tree to rustle.

"It was broken just like that? Husband, why do you just take the route that I have arranged for you, I have to go to Qixia in person..."

The words stopped suddenly, Hua Hongyi suddenly turned around, and shouted: "Who is it?!"

The red fox demon and spider spirit waiting under the tree were taken aback. They followed Mrs. Bone's line of sight, and the forest was dark, with the sound of rustling footsteps spreading.

In the clear brilliance of Xingyue, the man was exposed in a Taoist robe, his sleeves were stroked, and there were patterns of yin and yang and gossip tattooed on it. The three demons hadn't had time to react.

The figure raised his sleeve and flicked.

In an instant, Hua Hongyi, together with the red fox and spider, was put into the sleeves.

The figure flew lightly to the treetops, looking towards the direction of Chang'an city gate, where the old monk Zhen Kong turned around, the two of them seemed to know each other, nodded slightly at each other, and then left each other, disappearing under the night .

Chapter 357 Ordinary People, Ordinary Hearts

In the dark night, only speckled lights are still on in the long streets of the city. Occasionally, amidst the sound of dogs barking, there are two couples arguing loudly, mixed with children crying.

bang bang~~~

The mist billowed along the ground of the street, and the watchman knocking on his clapper seemed to hear the sound of horses’ hooves. He picked up the lantern and looked back to the end of the street. The next moment, he swiftly rushed to the edge of the street, and a few fast horses galloped on the black bricks of the street. Go, turn around the intersection, and stop at a mansion.

On the back of one of the horses, a soldier in armor helped an old man with a medicine box in his hand. He stumbled and was dragged into the gate of the mansion with the word 'Yuwen' written on it.

Passing through the front yard of old trees and stones, the waterside promenade, two beautiful maids were carrying hot water, and walked past the warm yellow lights under the eaves with their skirts. Seeing the old man brought by the soldiers, they hurriedly retreated to the door. side, let the opponent go in first.

The steward who guarded the door welcomed the old man in, made a gesture of invitation, and opened the gauze curtain outside, "Master, the imperial doctor from the palace is here."

"How many times have I said it, the doctor can't read it!"

On the edge of the canopy bed where the mosquito net was placed, Yu Wentuo's eyes were red, his fists were pressed on his knees, and he looked at the sleeping master on the bed. He turned his head and asked someone to take the imperial doctor sent by the emperor back.

In the room, Zhu Ganglu, Zuo Zhengyang, and Yan Chixia were still there, each checking the pulse of the sleepy figure on the bed, Taoist Toad didn't say a word, silently curled up beside the pillow, watching them stretch out their hands to do something .

"Fellow Daoist Lu himself is fine, it's just that his cultivation is probably gone."

Yan Chixia withdrew her hand, sighed and grabbed the quilt to cover the scholar. He majored in the art of swordsmanship, and it was okay to see some traumatic injuries, but it would be difficult to deal with internal injuries.

The wind blew past the corridor and squeezed into the window lattice, the lights on the table flickered, and the people in the room sighed, there was really no other way to deal with such a thing.

......

With the passage of time in the night, the east was turning white. The maid in plain dress held warm water, gently pushed open the door, walked into the room and put the washbasin stand, clattered, wrung out the towel, and went to replace the scholar on the bed. Wash your face and wipe your body.

The warm water soaked the skin, and Lu Liangsheng's drowsy consciousness became clear.

...with the cultivation base gone, the mana also dissipated, right?

In other words, I became an ordinary person again.

Fortune and misfortune live together, no matter what, Master should be fine, as long as everyone is fine...

Gathering his consciousness, he slowly woke up, opened his eyes, looked at the dome of the mosquito net, and sat up weakly. The maid who wiped his body had just wrung out the towel and was about to wipe other places. Seeing the scholar wake up, he hurriedly thought Go out and call someone.

"No need to call, I can go to the ground."

Lu Liangsheng waved his hand to tell the maid to stop, put on the unlined jacket, sat down on the edge of the bed and put on his shoes, just as he stood on the ground, his legs gave way and almost fell down, and the maid came to help him, and then took two steps out of the round table , get used to it.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Mr. Hui, just one night."

"Well, go get busy." Lu Liangsheng nodded, sent the maid away, walked to the washbasin stand by the edge of the table, raised his fingers subconsciously, and used the spell of controlling water. The warm water in the basin was calm and calm.

"Haha... I really don't have mana anymore."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the face reflected in the water, laughed a little, and poured warm water on his face with both hands to make himself more awake.

"Then just be an ordinary person. Birth, old age, sickness and death are fine. If you have time, read more books and teach the children in the village."

"Good life."

On the bed behind him, Taoist Toad's voice sounded.

The scholar wiped the water stains on his face with a towel and looked back, seeing the master coming out from under the bed dragging the gourd, with a smile on his face, he hung the towel on the rack.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Taoist Toad let go of the gourd and lowered his face: "Your cultivation base..."

"If your cultivation is gone, it will be gone. Master, don't worry about it." Lu Liangsheng's footsteps were a little weak, so he went to fold the bed and quilt, picked up the master on the ground and put it aside, and the master and apprentice sat side by side. , looking at the courtyard outside the open door.

The golden morning light shone brightly in the courtyard, shone through the window lattices and door leaves, and sprinkled on the scholar's slumped steps. The sleeping pig just looked up, turned over and continued to sleep.

On the edge of the bed, the scholar suddenly smiled and said:

"I was originally a boy in a mountain village, an ordinary person. If I hadn't met Master, I would have lived my whole life in such a daze. Now that my mana is gone, I still have past experience and vision, understand many truths, and understand right from wrong. Quzhi, so, I still made a profit."

Taoist Toad hung his short legs and his stomach was sticking out, but he felt very sorry after all.
