Great Sui Guoshi

In front of the donkey's head, the woodcutter holding the reins turned his face sideways, rubbed his palms, and let out a sigh of relief: "When it's colder in the house, naturally I have to go out and walk around, gather some firewood and go back to keep warm."

After getting acquainted with each other for a while, the three of them also lowered their vigilance, and the man with a long gun on his back laughed.

"Haha, it seems that you have a wife and daughter at home, but what's the use of collecting these firewood, it's better to go to the city to earn more money."

"This strong man is right. It is good to earn more money." The woodcutter pulled the reins to let the old donkey go faster, and then patted the hatchet hanging from his waist, "... But as for firewood, when it grows on trees, it can shelter small animals and birds from the wind and rain, and when it is on the ground, it can also keep my parents, wives and children warm, and can eat three meals a day. How can it be useless. "

The truth is simple, but it always feels strange to say it from the mouth of a woodcutter in the mountains.

The honest-faced green forest man frowned: "Little brother told us some truths, who told you?"

"There is no need for people to talk, people who are used to work will understand." The woodcutter said, leading the old donkey and looking back at the three people who were looking at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"There is a private school in Lujia Village. After listening to it for a long time, you can also open up your wisdom. You will think more about things, and you will understand a lot of truths."

Walking down a gentle slope ahead, he stopped and pointed to the snow-covered forest ahead.

"The three of you are here. You can see the mountain road outside through the forest over there. Go north and you will be in Fushui County. You can also see Honglian Temple and Lujia Village on the way."

The three of them were also accustomed to walking in the rivers and lakes, and they were cautious in doing things. They clasped their fists and thanked the woodcutter first, but they still invited the other party to accompany them along the way and took them there.

The woods were not too deep, and one could walk through them in dozens of steps. Standing on the edge of the woods, one could see the road next to another mountain below.

'It seems that the folk customs of Qixia Mountain are simple and honest, but they are supercilious. '

The honest-faced green forest knight looked down at the mountain road that the merchant traveler had passed by, sighed in his heart, and was about to bow his hands to the woodcutter, when he turned around, there was no woodcutter besides his two companions, even The old donkey carrying firewood and firewood was gone, leaving only a series of footprints on the ground.

"What about the woodcutter and the donkey?"

The other two were also looking around, the woodcutter was only two or three steps away from them, as a person in the Jianghu, with keen senses, he would be aware of any trouble, but he disappeared from under his nose for no reason.

"It was still there just now, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Don't talk, listen..."

The warm sun in winter reflects the snow-covered mountains, the wind whimpers and blows in the undulating foothills, and the faint singing sounds.

"Walking horses drinking river snow.....Lonely tree withered into a forest, look at it from afar....In the middle of winter, snow and flowers fly, thousands of birds return to the forest..."

The ambiguous lyrics echoed in the mountains, the three of them looked at each other, and reacted, they all yelled "Ouch", and then backed away a few steps, looking at the direction where the singing was coming from, and swallowed a mouthful of "goo" saliva.

It was on another mountainside not far away.

"It was the woodcutter's voice."

"Here just now, in the blink of an eye, how did you get there... Could it be that you met a mountain ghost?"

"Go down quickly, it's too scary, let's go."

The three of them pushed and shoved each other and ran down the steep slope at a fast pace. The middle-aged man with a loyal face behind him still turned around, bowed his hands in the direction of the echoing singing, and raised his robes to chase after his companion.

.......

".....riding that bald donkey, crossing mountains and crossing rivers, surpassing thousands of horses...a pot of turbid wine drinking to the sky, the heaven and the earth sing praises to the universe..."

The man's unique voice sang softly. Amidst the jingling copper bells, the woodcutter took the old donkey from far to near through the winding mountain road, through the clouds and mists that overflowed the mud road, towards the distant cliff, full of hanging trees. The snow-covered old pine arched its hands.

Not far from under the tree, there is a tombstone on the raised soil. A woman with an embroidered dress wiped it gently with a cloth towel. When she heard singing and the sound of copper bells, she saw young people in green cloth and linen clothes and an old donkey. laughed.

"My lord, did you come back so late today?"

"Meet three lost people and send them to the mountain road outside." The woodcutter is Lu Liangsheng. During this period of time, he did not feel ashamed. Doing it by himself makes people around him puzzled, and even doesn't need mana for many things. He is completely a handsome little brother from a farm family.

He took the cloth towel from Hong Lian, wiped the mud stains under the tombstone, and then went back to the thatched hut over there. There was little snow in the courtyard, and it must have been cleaned.

Seeing a broom on the ground, Lu Liangsheng picked it up and put it against the wall.

"You don't have mana?"

"Young master doesn't need it, so I don't need it!" Hong Lian wrinkled his nose at him, and took the broom in his hand: "I brought it from home, but I want to take it back. What if I lose it!?"

"You can say whatever you want, and listen to you."

Lu Liangsheng walked to the gate of the courtyard and slapped the back of the donkey: "Get on the donkey."

The woman pursed her lips, smiled lightly, jumped onto the old donkey's back and sat sideways, watching Lu Liangsheng walk ahead holding the reins, kicking lightly under the hem of her skirt with her little feet hanging, and humming softly while holding the broom.

Before going down the mountain, the two went to the grotto first. Lu Liangsheng told Hong Lian to wait outside, opened the stone door and went in, put a few pieces of dry food and water, and cast a warming spell on the huddled master. The trembling short figure suddenly relaxed, wrapped in the bedding and sleeping soundly, with a bead curling up with water vapor next to it.

It was the fish monster in Niutouji back then.

Put it away for Taoist Ha, looked at the furnishings, and found that there was nothing to do, then came out and closed the stone gate again, led the old donkey, and returned to the village at the foot of the mountain. Lu Liangsheng, who led the old donkey and carried the red pity on his back, all waved hello to him when he came back.

"Liangsheng, is there enough firewood for burning? Auntie has a lot of firewood at home. If you don't have enough, come and get it. Don't run into the mountains if you have nothing to do."

"Enough, these three bundles of firewood can be used for two days!"

Lu Liangsheng replied with a smile, greeted other villagers around, led the old donkey back to the fenced yard, mother Li Jinhua and younger sister Xiaoxian were not there, Lu Laoshi was planing wood under the eaves, but the Taoist lay on the cypress A few sheets of book paper are turned over on a tree branch.

"Where's the old pig?"

Leading the old donkey to the shed, Lu Liangsheng put down three bundles of firewood and piled them aside, while Hong Lian greeted Lu Laoshi under the eaves, and ran to the kitchen to help wash rice and cook.

Over there, the Taoist turned over from the tree, dropped to the stone table and jumped to the ground, pointing to the attic.

"I'm still hugging the picture you drew, kissing and touching it, it's so disturbing that I can't even sleep well."

"you want?"

Lu Liangsheng put away the firewood and patted the dust off his hands. He glanced at him, and his eyes fell on the paper in his hand.

"What did you take?"

"It was sent by your apprentice, and I will accept it for you."

"By the way, why don't you read it for me?" Lu Liangsheng took the few pieces of letter paper, which were sent by Wang Banxia from Chang'an two months ago, with a few polite greetings, and the rest were just homely chatter, so I haven't read them yet. After that, the Taoist said aside: "You are a master, you are not as good as an old toad, let the disciples ignore it, and it is said that your third child has not been heard from for a long time."

The third child refers to Li Suian.

After being reminded by the Taoist, Lu Liangsheng remembered that he hadn't heard from Li Suian for a long time. When the three of them left, they gave them a magic weapon for communication, which could only be used once, and would not be used unless it was important. , Qu Yuanfeng and Yu Wentuo have already used it.

... Presumably Li Suian didn't encounter any danger. This kid is quick-witted and flexible, so he shouldn't suffer much.

Putting down the letter for the time being, Lu Liangsheng went back to the house, still wanting to listen to his apprentice's voice and see how he was doing outside after so long, at worst he would make another magic weapon for communication.

Thinking about it, he took out the ring jade pendant that had been placed for a long time from the bookshelf, held it in the palm of his hand, and a touch of Dharma light circulated along the jade ring for several times, and it took a long time before it seemed to be connected to that side.

"Master?" Li Suian's voice came from over there.

Then there was a burst of ping, ping, pong, bang, bang, bang, like fighting with someone.

"It's a teacher... Are you in trouble?"

In the jade ring where Dharma light circulated, Li Suian's voice was a little anxious, as if he was running around while fighting someone.

"...I ran into a lunatic, he actually said that the ground under our feet is round, how could the ground be round, and a fight broke out after a few words... Wait, he came up again... ...Hey, look at the trick, control the sword—"

Chapter 400 Ask the Monkey

The earth is round?

Lu Liangsheng subconsciously looked down at the ground under his feet, and stomped hard twice, causing the Taoist who was practicing talisman at the door to poke his head in.

"Did the land annoy you? Be careful that the land lord comes out to trouble you."

There is no land in the mountains and rivers of Lujia Village, the Taoist was just joking, but the scholar in the house ignored it, stepped on the ground twice, shook his head, and was also amused by himself.

'How could the ground be round? Wouldn't it just fall off as you walk...then where did it fall? '

This thought flashed by, and the smile on Lu Liangsheng's face gradually faded. If the earth was really round, would people fall, and where would they fall?

"Master?!" "Master, come back quickly, that guy is so difficult to deal with, he can't beat him."

The jade ring lit up, and Li Suian's voice came out again, and there were endless sounds of bombardment and splitting of rocks, mixed with the roaring and roaring of wild animals.

"Can't control the sword?"

"I can't hit him, that guy is too smart, by the way, Master, you are also very smart, give me a trick, let me beat him out of the water!"

There is not much mana in Yuhuan, so it is impossible to keep talking like this, Lu Liangsheng frowned and thought for a while.

"Since he said that the ground is round, why don't you let him stop and witness together. If he is right, then why continue fighting? This kind of person lacks like-minded people the most."

"How do you prove it... Oh, hit me? Fuck you!!"

Listening to the chaotic fight inside, Lu Liangsheng stepped out of the room a few steps, and outside the open window, a piece of talisman paper was crumpled up and thrown away by the Taoist.

Passing the scholar's eyes, he said immediately:

"Use the skill of controlling the sword to fly to the sky and see, or go to the edge of the sky to see if you can fall."

"Fly...fly to the sky?"

Li Suian hesitated for a moment, "Hey, hey...Master..." twice, the jade ring of the message gradually faded from the color of jasper, becoming dull and dull.

Uh.....

Lu Liangsheng looked at the ordinary jade in his hand that changed back before he finished speaking, looked at the Taoist who hadn't noticed outside, and put it aside casually.

'... Sui'an has taught everything that needs to be taught. Thinking about it...he can also find a way. '

But thinking of the man who fought with Li Suian, he said that the earth was round, which was very interesting. When he walked out of the room, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. The winter was cloudy, and he couldn't see the blue color.

'The gods who live in that day know whether the earth is round or square. '

"Young Master, Daoist Sun, it's time to eat."

At the door of the kitchen, Hong Lian had already cooked the meal, and called the two of them. Seeing Lu Liangsheng looking up at the sky, he went to stand beside him, and then raised his head.

"There's nothing to see in the sky, it's gloomy."

"There's nothing to look at at all, just thinking about things." Lu Liangsheng smiled and looked away, and turned to the Taoist under the eaves who were still drawing amulets, and asked him to ask Zhu Gangli to come down to eat.

Sun Yingxian raised his face, but there was cinnabar on his nose. He threw down the pen and talisman paper angrily, and said, "You know what to do!" He ran out of the eaves and roared upwards.

"Old pig, it's time to eat!"

"coming!"

With the same roar, the trembling attic buzzed, and Lu Laoshi, who was sitting under the eaves on the other side, almost fell to the ground. Zhu Gangli pushed open the door and came out, pulled his pants showing half of his buttocks, and walked from the upstairs up and down.

Seeing that the scholar was there, he hooked his big mouth back, revealing a few big die teeth.

"That... Lu Liangsheng, my old pig still wants to..."

"Don't even think about it."

Lu Liangsheng waved his hand in direct refusal, knowing what Zhu Gangli wanted to say without even thinking about it. The painting of the moon wearing less clothes was also brave enough to secretly draw it with reference to a few yellowed books hidden by the Taoist. Now that Hong Lian was in front of him again, how could he let him speak out.

Wouldn't it make him unable to wear clothes if he wanted to make an inch of it?

... If you do some weird things again, this courtyard may not be able to live in.

On the side, Hong Lian asked curiously: "What do you think?" His eyes flickered, he glanced at Zhu Gangyi and Young Master, and probably guessed something, his face suddenly became hot, and if there was nothing, he spit out: "Bah .”

This made Lu Liangsheng stand there in embarrassment. Fortunately, soon, Li Jinhua and Lu Xiaoxian went to deliver some meat and rice to Mrs. Lu, so they could have dinner.

The kitchen room was still the same size as before. After the pigs arrived, the original round table was rebuilt into a larger one, which made it not too crowded.

As soon as several dishes were put on the table, two pairs of chopsticks clamped down in the blink of an eye, and then, after hearing two slaps, the chopsticks hit Zhu Gangyi and Sun Yingxian on the foreheads, and they all retracted their hands.

Li Jinhua and Lu Xiaoxian put away their chopsticks and sat down, then shouted: "Eat!"

Seeing the two of them deflated, Hong Lian held the bowl and turned to behind Lu Liangsheng with a suppressed smile before he couldn't help but chuckle. The Taoist at the other end of the round table looked up and saw the scholar carrying the bowl and vegetables, chewing every bite. Still smiling.

Take a quick bite of the fatty meat first, and put down your chopsticks: "Lao Lu, if you want to laugh, you can laugh, don't worry about your face."

Li Jinhua thought that Liang Sheng was thinking about something, so she took a chopstick of food for him, and another chopstick for the Taoist, and stuffed it into his bowl.

"I can't keep your mouth shut, can I?"

Over there, Lu Liangsheng put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I'm not laughing at you, but because I remembered something that happened today, um... Sui'an had a conflict with someone, but the reason was a bit unbelievable, the person said The earth is round."

Li Jinhua, Lu Laoshi, Taoist, and Zhu Gangli all burst into laughter when they heard this sentence.

"If it's round, wouldn't people in other places be inclined?"

"...that's not right, if it's tilted, wouldn't that be a fall?!"

"That's right, if it's round, if I go straight from here, wouldn't I come back from the other side? Why are there all kinds of people these days? Scholar Lu quickly told Li Suian to beat up this kind of person to save money I have nothing to do when I am full."

This kind of thing can only be regarded as a joke, Lu Liangsheng also joked a few words, stretched out the chopsticks on the plate, and suddenly stopped.

I remembered the sentence that Lao Sun said just now: "If you go straight from here, don't you come back from the other side?"
