Great Sui Guoshi

.....

There was a lot of discussion outside the temple, and the inside of the temple, which ordinary people can't see, is another look.

The green lantern was isolated, and the aroma of pastries and cooked meat wafted on the table. Nie Honglian took a few at random and put them on a table and chair next to it.

"Yuerou, sit here, there is nothing good in the temple, they are all offered by pilgrims nearby, you have a taste."

Min Yuerou put the burden and long sword on the corner of the table, and when she saw the plates of tributes on the table, she grinned unnaturally.

Who would have thought that one day they would be invited to eat tribute from the temple.

Over there, Hong Lian also sat down, seeing her expression, she could probably guess it, she smiled softly at the corner of her mouth, took a piece of fruit and put it in front of Yuerou.

"No one to blame, the true master of this temple is right in front of you."

Min Yuerou was stunned for a moment, she had heard Lu Liangsheng talk about Qixia Mountain before, and then she remembered that the Hong Lian enshrined in the temple was not the one in front of her, the other was the Huadan who died tragically in Fushui County back then, and it was Lu Liangsheng who made it to this day It took a lot of effort.

Looking at the woman who looked like a white lotus opposite her, she turned her gaze away.

"He was so kind to you."

"He is very good to everyone." Nie Honglian knew what she was thinking, turned around on the stool, and looked at the altar behind her: "I am a well-known Huadan when I put it nicely, but I am just an actor in the end. I was only sixteen when I died..."

Thinking of the past few years, Hong Lian couldn't help but draw a slight smile on his face.

"...Then, I got to know the young master and stayed by his side all the time. Gradually, I liked watching him more and more, watching him riding on that old donkey and flipping through books, and watching him The look of scribbling pen and ink under the lamplight, and the high spirits when taking the exam."

In the temple, on the altar with the green lamp, soft words were heard, and Min Yuerou sat on the side and listened quietly, immersed in the story of Hong Lian, and also knew a lot about Lu Liangsheng's past.

Lujia Village was robbed by thieves because of kindness, and he went to the village alone to rescue Hong Lian. He also knew that in the ruined mountain temple, he met two foxes who sucked the scholar Yuanyang at night. , almost sacrificed his own cultivation to save an irrelevant person, knew the severe drought in Heliangzhou, and spared his life to make it rain for thousands of people...

Min Yuerou listened very carefully. The woman in front of her had many experiences with Lu Liangsheng, and these belonged to both of them. The more she listened, the more disappointed she felt.

Over there, the telling of the story also stopped, Hong Lian looked at her, without a complacent look on her face: "I said this not to show off, but to ask you for one thing."

"I know, I'm going to leave today too."

"No, I like you to marry the son."

The woman with her face lowered and ready to get her burden and sword suddenly raised her face, her expression froze, she looked at Nie Honglian who was blinking at her, thinking she had heard wrong.

On the opposite side, Hong Lian repeated: "I hope the young master can marry you."

Speaking of this, Hong Lian got up from the stool, stepped lightly on her embroidered shoes, walked to the lamp, the light illuminated her cheeks, and said softly: "I have never had a physical body, and I don't know when and what month I will go to this place of incense to rebuild my human body." , although the young master didn't say anything, the two elders may not have complained in their hearts...I..."

Hong Lian turned around, looked at Min Yuerou, lowered her body and bowed from a distance: "May I ask Miss Min to stay here."

"Get up, get up quickly."

Min Yuerou was suddenly bowed, and hurriedly got up from the stool and ran over to help her: "Even if I want to stay, Lu Liangsheng doesn't care about me."

"Young master's heart is not made of iron, it's just about the relationship between men and women, some..."

Hong Lian took her arm and leaned over, whispering in her ear: "... in a hurry, and a little slow." This made Min Yuerou look at the flame on the wick, and a smile melted on her face, and she laughed through her tears come out.

"Really?"

"real."

The two women helped each other back to the two sides of the table. When they talked about something interesting, they gathered together to talk in a low voice, pursing their lips and making a chuckle, but the pilgrims outside couldn't hear or see it.

Soon, a scholar in a green shirt and a white robe came up from the mountain. Seeing so many crowds around here, some even knelt on the ground holding incense and praying. Frowning slightly, he walked aside and saluted an old man beside him.

"Old man, what's going on here?"

The old man was from Fushui County outside, and he didn't know Lu Liangsheng very well. He glanced at the polite scholar in front of him, stroked his white beard on his chin, laughed twice, raised his sleeves, and pointed to the temple:

"I just came here, and I heard that the red pity god in this temple has manifested, hehe...It's nonsense, how can clay sculptures manifest, but it's just a comfort, I really shouldn't come here."

The old man waved his sleeves and looked behind his back, looked at the group of pilgrims, shook his head, and went to the outside of the temple to see the scenery.

The scholar standing outside the crowd didn't pay attention to an old man. He looked over the shoulders of the crowd and looked into the inner temple. The red pity statue on the altar was still the same, no difference.

He also used spells to follow Min Yuerou's aura when he came here, and he disappeared when he got here. As for the apparitions mentioned by the pilgrims, it is not difficult to guess that it was Hong Lian who showed up to bring Min Yuerou who had left here. see the face.

Not long after, the crowd of kneeling and worshiping incense gradually left. The scholar waited until the last person left, looked at the sky, and stepped over the threshold to enter. The temple was empty, and the burning incense candles were still curling up.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the clay sculpture on the altar and pinched out the spell. He flicked his wide sleeves, and a breeze was blown out. The candle burning in the cauldron was flickering, and as the light flickered, the voices of Hong Lian and Min Yuerou came to his ears. Turning around towards the temple gate, the two girls were sitting on one side of the table and chairs, Hong Lian pursed her lips and showed a slight smile, the latter lowered her head in embarrassment when she saw the scholar.

He lowered his voice and said to Hong Lian next to him: "Let me go out first, don't worry about leaving."

On the side, Nie Honglian might also have something to talk to Lu Liangsheng, she nodded, let go of the enchantment, the breeze blew in from the temple gate, Min Yuerou didn't wait for the scholar to come over, grabbed the sword and the burden on the table, and snorted Huh, but his face was crimson, and he ran out quickly.

Lu Liangsheng watched the woman with a sword and a bag run out, even jumping up and down from time to time, looked at Hong Lian who brought the tea in some surprise, and sat beside her.

"What did you tell her?"

"A little secret between women." Hong Lian said with a smile on her lips, rolled up her long sleeves, and floated to the young master's side, put her delicate fingers on his shoulders, and kneaded gently.

"Actually, I also have something to say to the young master."

Chapter 386 Openness, Courage

"what's up?"

Just after escaping from home, Lu Liangsheng felt a little dizzy when he saw Hong Lian's serious expression, but he still had to listen to what he said, so he nodded and said softly, "Let's walk together first." ' Then he took the woman's hand and walked outside the temple gate.

As the sun sets, the sun shines brightly in the forest. In the sound of rustling footsteps, birds are singing on the branches, and the scholar walks through the shade of the forest with a woman in his arms.

"Son."

A soft voice emanated from Hong Lian's mouth quietly, kicking the fallen leaves under his feet, raised his pretty face, and followed the mottled branches to look at the scholar's side face.

Sensing the gaze cast on him, Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways, intertwined his eyes, and for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What did you want to say just now?"

"I told you not to be angry."

"Let me marry Yuerou?"

"I knew it, you already guessed it."

Hong Lian folded her hands in front of her belly, kicked the fallen leaves under her feet and flew away, watching the dead leaves swaying and falling to the ground, she suddenly laughed out loud.

"In fact, it's good to marry Miss Min, not to mention that the relationship between heaven, earth and human beings is also one of the avenues. If you want to take one of them, and your uncle and aunt are still there, don't let them down. It doesn't matter if you work hard for most of your life so that they can enjoy the family relationship under your knees." .”

Lu Liangsheng, who was walking on the side, restrained his smile. He knew that Hong Lian had thought about it for a long time before he could say this. After all, it would take a long time for incense to become a physical body. With no plans of getting married, Kong made the two elders look forward to it.

Seeing that Lu Liangsheng didn't speak, Hong Lian stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and gently leaned forward.

"...I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have been so jealous when I was in Zhou Dashi's mansion in Hegu County. If it was bad, the Miss Zhou family liked you, but I figured it out later, and you were also born into a wealthy family. Man, she doesn't have the courage of Miss Min, she ran all the way from Chang'an to Qixia Mountain alone, I am very moved for this kind of love... Actually, the young master also likes her a little bit in his heart, right?"

Lu Liangsheng did not speak, walked through the shade of the forest, came to a cliff on the mountainside, waved his wide sleeves to sweep away the fallen leaves accumulated on the grass, sat down with Hong Lian, looked at the Lujia Village in the distance, and walked briskly The beautiful figure in the countryside.

Thinking of the night when he was kidnapped by the old monk, Min Yuerou sat beside the bonfire with himself, holding steamed buns and blowing them, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but smile.

"maybe."

It is normal for men in the world to have three wives and four concubines. As long as they have the ability, even if they find a dozen or so, no one dares to gossip. Can't let go.

"If you like it, you like it. There is no possibility." Hong Lian sat there with her knees embracing, leaning on the scholar's shoulder, looking at the mountains covered with a layer of rosy clouds, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"If this is Daoist Sun, I'm afraid Le's mouth will burst into laughter. I wish I could."

"He dares!"

Lu Liangsheng squeezed a straw dumpling and threw it out. The originally dull atmosphere was broken by Hong Lian's joke, and a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, would you be happy if I really married Yuerou?"

Seeing the scholar laughing, Hong Lian smiled even brighter, and rubbed against his shoulder again, blowing it past the dandelion in front of him, making it fly farther until it was invisible in the red glow.

Only then said softly:

"No woman would like it. You can't let your Lu family be the last one, and make your uncle and aunt feel bad. It's good for the two elders to live happily for a hundred years in the world, and it can also be worthy of Miss Min's affection. A girl can This way of looking for you shows that she really has you in her heart."

As he said that, with dimples on his cheeks, he fell into the scholar's arms, lay on his lap, grabbed the floating dandelions, and teased his scumbag chin.

"...In the future, the days of cultivation are still very long, so please don't find me annoying, my lord."

I don't know if it was tickled by being teased, Lu Liangsheng snatched the small group of soft pappus from her hand, blew it off the cliff, and watched it drift away with the wind.

"No, never."

Lu Liangsheng watched the crested hair drifting away and murmured softly, unconsciously hugging the woman on his lap tightly in his arms.

Cough!

Suddenly a dry cough sounded from behind, and the two people who hugged each other quickly let go. Lu Liangsheng looked back and saw an old man walking in front of him with his hands on his back.

It was the old man who had inquired at the gate of the temple before. Lu Liangsheng and Hong Lian looked at each other and each laughed. They held hands and went down the mountain to leave, and chose the nearest path down the mountain.

"Qixia Mountain is so beautiful, the old man's good mood has been destroyed."

The old man snorted as he watched a man and a woman go away, turned around and walked to the tree-lined path, and walked leisurely to the temple above. There were few people at the moment, showing a sense of tranquility.

Stepping into the temple and wanting to admire the statue of Hong Lian, which is said by others, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he looked straight at the dancing clay sculpture with long sleeves in front of him.

hiss.....

The old man took a deep breath, he looked like the woman he met outside the temple just now, and looked up carefully again, no, it didn't look like, it was exactly the same.

Damn...it's really amazing, amazing, amazing.

He found the unburned incense from the tripod, folded his palms and raised his head high, bowed three times and inserted it back into the tripod again. With a flick of his robe, he ran out of the temple like flying, all the way down the mountain, into the Get into the waiting carriage, urge the driver to drive quickly, dragging the sound of "kuang kuang kuang...", the car shafts collided, and drove away from the mountain road here, and disappeared into the sunset.

.......

The setting sun rolls over the western clouds like a tide, and under the crimson red, the birds fly across the mountain village surrounded by smoke, and the farmers with hoes return home one after another, saying hello to the eight big men standing at the entrance of the village.

The latter eight returned the salute with fists clasped, and when they saw Lu Liangsheng and Hong Lian coming back from the temple, they hurriedly pushed aside the villagers who had greeted them earlier to greet them.

"Liangsheng, you are back. I thought you were kidnapped again. The eight of us almost searched for you all over the mountain again."

Beside, Lu Qing came over and said:

"The Min girl you went chasing after came back a long time ago, and greeted us with a smile!"

The other six nodded their heads.

"Yeah, your mother seems to have something to do with you, and she has come here two or three times." "And told us to wait for you here."

"Go home and have a look."

Lu Liangsheng arched his hands, thanked him, and brought Hong Lian back to the small courtyard. There was green smoke floating on the roof. It seemed that the food had been cooked. Li Jinhua was sitting under the eaves and talking with Min Yuerou. He gave him a wink to come and talk, but he dragged Hong Lian to the kitchen.

Under the eaves, still feeling aggrieved, Min Yuerou, with red eyes, sat on the stool with her legs crossed and turned in one direction.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the woman who looked like an awkward little daughter-in-law, smiled, and sat down beside him. Thinking of Hong Lian and Master's words, he finally let go of his heart, and quietly stretched out his hand in the hanging sleeve, Take her hand gently.

Min Yuerou's whole body trembled slightly, then she turned her face and looked at Lu Liangsheng in a daze.

The fence of the attic in the small courtyard, the slightly opened window lattice of the house, and the door of the kitchen, Taoist, Zhu Ganglian, Mu Qiyou, and Lu Xiaoxian squatted there, and even the always honest Lu Laoshi squatted behind the door, non-stop The son winks.

"I'll marry you."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the astonished Min Yuerou and said softly.

The rays of the sun fell on the courtyard, showing gentleness.

Chapter 387 It's Good

Lu Family Village is not big, even including Beicun, there are only more than 200 people. In the village, there are many people who get married at the age of [-] or [-]. Lu Liangsheng is now [-] out of [-]. He is not in a hurry. He was anxious. Now that he heard the news that Lu Liangsheng was going to get married, young and old in the village flocked with chickens, ducks, and wine jars, and crowded outside the fenced courtyard. Li Jinhua and his wife accepted it as a gift money.

But these days, three matchmakers and six hires, orders from parents, and words from matchmakers are unavoidable. It is definitely not appropriate to just do the marriage here.

Some people in the village also shouted: "How can I do that? I have been waiting for Liangsheng's wedding for many years. I was not married at that time, and now the children are running around naked!"

It was Er Niu who was talking, he was a few years younger than Lu Liangsheng, and he had been married for a few years now, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head with a pear stick by the most respected grandfather in the village to teach him a lesson.

"I heard from Lao Shi that Miss Min's family is prominent. Her father was the county magistrate of our Fushui County and a close friend of Liang Sheng's mentor. Now he is a senior official in the Sui Dynasty. How can we not take care of face? You are talking nonsense."

The old man was sometimes confused and sometimes sober, and now he mustered all his energy to say this sentence, and his body was trembling.

"Everyone, think about it, Liangsheng will be an official in the future, and there will be an old man who is a high-ranking official in the court to take care of him. It won't go straight up, and then it will be the honor of the ancestors of my Lu family village." thing!"

There are more than a hundred households in Lujia Village, and Beicun is also related to this side. Dozens of them came and gathered in the sunba. After listening to Mr. Lu who was standing on the stone mill, the crowd immediately exploded into excitement. Some of them People still don't know who that Miss Min is, but now when they hear it, they immediately stop what they want to say.

There is still a voice saying:

"So what about the senior official, our good student is still a disciple of a master, who knows the magic of immortality and Taoism, and no one is sure to be a master."
