Great Sui Guoshi

It's not difficult to see Lu Liangsheng after pinching the fast food. They turned back to the dirt road from the outside and walked into Lu's village.

Inside the drying dam, the eight people who had been suffering from physical illness were going back to their respective homes for dinner at this time. Seeing that no one stopped them, they went all the way to the small fenced courtyard in memory.

Withered vines of morning glory wrap around the courtyard wall half a person's height, and the old trees in the small courtyard are still covered with residual snow. In the courtyard, a young boy with two buns is looking at a Taoist priest in Taoist robes holding a pen and writing on the stone table. Write and draw.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his face, and saw several people walking from outside the courtyard to the door.

Mingyue stood on the stone bench with her hips akimbo, raised her chin, and said in a childish voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Over there, Chen Jing is the emperor, even if the master is in front outside, he is the leader, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and arched his hands.

"Your Majesty, Chen Jing, was rescued by Mr. Lu when he was young. He happened to pass by here and came here to visit. I wonder if Mr. Lu is at home?"

Sun Yingxian, who was drawing talismans on the stone table, raised his face to look at a few people, and knew who they were. He was most annoyed with dealing with officials in the government, and he was too lazy to take care of them. He took the talisman paper, brush and ink away and continued to practice.

"My husband is sleeping."

sleeping?

Not only Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, but even the old man next to him was also stunned. He knew that Lu Liangsheng was a cultivator, but now he was still sleeping at noon, so he felt a little disgusted.

"Hmph, does your husband still want to imitate Zhuge Kongming and make Liu Bei visit the thatched cottage?"

Mingyue followed Lu Liangsheng for many years, and often listened to allusions. She tilted her head, stared at the old man, and folded her hands to her chest.

"That little brother is Liu Bei, so aren't you old man Zhang Heitan with a black face and a big beard?"

The Taoist glanced at it, stopped his pen, and said something.

"Zhang Fei is not black, but not as old as him."

Hahaha--

Immediately, Mingyue on the stone bench laughed out loud.

"Dare to tease the old man?!"

.....

Laughter and the words of the old man resounded in the yard, and spread to the window lattice facing the water tank. The light in the room was dim, and on the bed, under Lu Liangsheng's closed eyelids, his pupils moved back and forth.

Discussed with the grandson monkey all night, slept too late, and was sleeping soundly at the moment, was dazed by the laughter and shouting outside, turned over, and waved his hand in disgust.

"Don't disturb my sleep—"

The door and window slammed open, and a gust of wind blew out of the courtyard, and the talisman papers flew up into the air, and the robes of Chen Fu and Chen Jing who were standing there were all clattering in an instant, their hair buns flew upside down, and they opened their eyes in bewilderment. Do not open your eyes.

"Hey, what a big breath..."

The Taoist yelled and grabbed the talisman papers flying all over the sky.

Chapter 4: A Nest of Demons

The old tree shook wildly, and the snow splashed down.

Chen Jing and Chen Fu standing outside looked startled, and the other three guards turned pale. Looking at the yellow talismans flying all over the sky, they pulled out their weapons and retreated to the courtyard gate in a trembling state.

I don't know why the wind rushing out of that room just now has a trembling illusion. Chen Jingxiu is still low-level and can't describe this feeling. He looks at the master in doubt, and the room with the doors and windows open over there, and he can vaguely see the bed inside. The previous figure was lying on its side.

The old man's expression was also a little ugly. He raised his hand and swept away a piece of yellow paper stuck on his robe, took a deep breath, and then let it out slightly.

This person's cultivation level... is comparable to that of the old man, but the method he cultivates is strange...

Seeing Chen Jing's suspicious gaze from the corner of his eye, the old man looked at the slowly moving door and lowered his voice.

"It was the wind blown by mana just now. I feel that there is a monster beast in it... and the power of the righteous sect. It's weird."

"Then since Mr. Lu is sleeping, it's better to wait here for him to wake up."

Chen Jing then lowered his voice, the old man puffed up his cheeks, took a breath and was about to scold him, when he heard the soft creaking of the bed in the room, the next moment, his shoulders sank, and his tone eased.

"It's really wrong to disturb people's dreams. It happens that the small farmyard has a special scenery, so just sit under the tree over there and wait for a while."

"Uh...Master didn't seem to want to say something like that just now..."

"That's what I think as a teacher!"

The old man lifted his hands and looked serious, corrected Chen Jing, and sat down on the stone bench over there. At the feet of the Taoist who was busy picking up talisman papers in the courtyard, a white hen came out of the donkey shed and ran all the way to the stove. .

Chen Fu stood up suddenly, which made the three guards nervous again, raised their weapons and looked around.

"Master?" Chen Jing also stood up.

On the side, the old man narrowed his eyes and stared at the gray hen pecking the ground at the door of the kitchen, and waved his apprentice to sit down.

"It's a little demon that has just acquired spiritual consciousness, sit still, I'm going to take care of it as a teacher."

Just about to go there, just as he stepped forward, the Taoist tilted his head and waved the talisman paper he picked up in his hand: "Hey, don't move around, if you step on my talisman paper dirty, you will pay for it."

At this time, the hen at the door was kicked up with a bang, flapped its wings and landed in the yard, clucked and clucked wildly with its wings spread, went to the donkey shed, and stretched out its head to take a look.

Li Jinhua, who was holding a broom, finished cooking, and suddenly saw five more people coming from the courtyard, and asked the Taoist who was bending over to pass by.

"Who are they?"

The Taoist finally picked up the talisman, patted it on the palm of his hand, and moved his mouth to signal Lu Liangsheng's room: "I'm looking for the scholar of Lu University, but they haven't gotten up yet. They are waiting in the courtyard."

"Go ask Liangsheng to get up and eat."

The woman said, and also invited Chen Fu and Chen Jing from the courtyard. Since they came to the house, they were looking for their own son, so they knew how to be polite.

"No, we'll just wait here." Chen Fu bowed his hands to the woman over there and returned the salute. Although he was stubborn, he could not forget the courtesy.

However, his eyes were still looking at the donkey shed, and then he figured it out, that Lu Liangsheng was also a cultivator, and he must have known about the evildoers in his family, so why should the old man worry about it.

After a while, the Taoist put the talisman away, turned his head and shouted to the room next to him: "Lao Lu has woken up to eat." Ordinary people can't see the evil spirit in him, how can the old man not see it.

"Another demon!"

The next moment, a woman in a black dress outside flicked a black whip, came back from the outside, entered the yard, glanced at the five people here, pulled down her eye bags, stuck out her tongue, and dragged Lu Xiaoxian away Kitchen.

"..."

The old man stood there, his body trembling a little. He had seen quite a few monsters since he practiced Taoism, but it was the first time he had seen them together so much. He suppressed the emotion of wanting to get mad, and sat back on the stone bench with his fists clenched. .

'I finally understand the reason why no monsters dare to come to Qixia Mountain among the people who come and go. There are all monsters here. '

"Jing'er, as a teacher, I think it's better to be cautious about asking you Mr. Lu. It's better to leave for now and call the old department first."

The old man made a decision, but before he could answer, the apprentice on the other side of the stone table suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Lu is up."

In the room, the figure lying sideways on the wooden couch moved. Lu Liangsheng opened his eyes and yawned. He uncovered the bedding, got off the bed and put on his shoes and socks. His eyes were still a little blurred. When he saw the door slightly open, he waved his hand casually. After closing it, he changed into the linen clothes and trousers that had been folded at the end of the bed.

"I don't need to suppress my mana, I can't think of staying up all night, and I sleep until noon."

Seeing the sunlight shining through the window lattice, Lu Liangsheng opened the door and went out. Just after stretching, a figure came over and saluted him with arched hands in front of his line of sight.

"Chen Jing met Mr. Lu."

Who?

Lu Liangsheng lowered his arms, and when he saw the young man in front of him clearly, he laughed, and went up to hold his hands: "Why are you here?"

As he said that, he naturally saw an old man standing under the tree, and he clapped his hands casually in response, then walked to the water tank, poured a spoonful of clean water into the wooden basin, and began to wash.

Seeing the movement of the scholar gargling his mouth and washing his face, the old man frowned slightly, stepped forward and arched his hands.

"Old man, Fu Moshan Chen Fu, Jing'er's master, may I ask where Mr. Lu's apprenticeship is?"

'Goobobo~~'

The water stains swirled around, and Lu Liangsheng spat it on the ground, took a towel and wiped his mouth, hung it on the shelf, and responded simply: "It's just a casual cultivator."

Remembering that Master has made too many enemies, the old man in front of him doesn't know if it is true or not, so he is not as frank as he used to be.

"Can the five of you have a meal? Don't dislike it, let's have a farm meal together?"

Lu Liangsheng came over after tidying up his appearance, and made a gesture of invitation, but the old man wanted to refuse, but the three guards behind him groaned.

"I'm going to mix some food."

As guests came, Lu Liangsheng went to the kitchen, shared some food on the table, so as not to embarrass them, he brought them out and set a table under the tree.

Seeing that Lu Liangsheng had no airs, the old man somewhat liked him. After the scholar sat down, he and Chen Jing also sat down.

"Mr. Lu's temperament is really easy-going. I have seen a lot of sect cultivators, but not many can treat others like this."

"Isn't that what a cultivator should do?"

Lu Liangsheng took it as the old man's polite words and poured him a glass of wine: "The mountain village is simple, but there is no good wine to entertain guests. This is the wine my father hid under the bed."

As soon as the word 'wine' was dropped, Li Jinhua scolded angrily and Lu Laoshi's hissing sound came from the kitchen.

The old man laughed dryly, looked at the slightly yellowed wine in the glass, and smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Chen Fu took a sip. He was so heroic, so he naturally liked spicy wine when he drank it. After drinking it, it stimulated the mouth, and it also felt hot when it flowed into the stomach.

Still appreciative: "Good wine, Chun!"

"As long as the old man likes it."

Lu Liangsheng also poured a glass for Chen Jing, put down the jug, and asked about business.

"You two come to Qixia Mountain, what's the matter?"

Chapter 4 Chapter Four

The old tree in the small courtyard swayed gently, and the water droplets from the melted snow dripped onto the wine glass below, causing ripples.

Lu Liangsheng put down his cup, looked at the old and the young opposite with a smile on his face, in fact, he had already guessed in his heart why he came to Qixia Mountain to find him.

As for asking this sentence, it is to take the initiative.

Sure enough, Chen Jing put down the wine glass with both hands, took a few breaths, and without going around in circles, got up from the stool and bowed.

"Mr. has lived in a mountain village for a long time. I...Jing can't bear to miss Mr.'s talent. I come to pay a visit at this time. I also ask Mr. Lu to come out of the mountain to help and restore my homeland of the Chen Dynasty. Jing will treat him as a national scholar."

Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways, looked at the old man who was also looking at him, and smiled, remembering that many years ago, when the Sui Kingdom went south to cross the river, the little emperor who had just ascended the throne was under this tree and said the same words.

The human heart is fleshy, and ascetics are no exception, and they can naturally feel the sincerity of the other party.

pity.....

The scholar was silent for a while, went to hold Chen Jing's hands up, and asked him to sit down again.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the first time you came here?"

"I remember."

Chen Jing, who sat back on the stone bench, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Not long after he ascended the throne, he quarreled with his mother, took a hundred riders from Tianzhi to Qixia Mountain, and waited outside the village for two or three days before meeting each other. I wish to help him, not because of his father, but for the unification of the world, so that the people of the world can enjoy peace.

"What I said that day is also the reason for my rejection today."

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Liangsheng poured him a glass, and looked at the old man next to him: "Nowadays, after a few years of unification, the life of the people of Kyushu is much better than when it was divided. If you help, the world will start a war again. Soldiers died, and innocent people were implicated and left their homes."

"Mr. Lu, this statement is wrong."

On the side, Chen Fu, who was holding a cup to drink by himself, spoke softly, put down the cup and looked over: "Although the people are suffering, they are also survivors of the Chen Dynasty. Their home country is not here, so they are willing to be the yellow dogs of other countries? , Sweeping through the eight wastelands, the hearts of the people are the foundation of our destiny, don't you hear: the love of the homeland is deep, and the homeland is hard to leave. Although the land of the Chen Dynasty is over, your Majesty is still alive, benevolent and humble, with the appearance of a wise king, and summon the old ministry, A lot to do!"

With a flick of his wide sleeves, he stretched out his palms slightly towards Lu Liangsheng, and his words were sonorous and forceful.

"It is often heard that Mr. Lu is well-read classics, is good at governing the people, and also has magical methods. A gentleman is modest and open-minded. How can he rule under the feet of the Sui people with the old grievances of the former emperor and disregarding his homeland. Today, I ask you to help me out of the mountains. Restoring the old country of Chen will also allow the people of the homeland to rule in the hands of the master, and enjoy the country's security and people's happiness! Wouldn't it be better than living in a small village in the middle of the mountain and enjoying themselves?"

The breeze was blowing, and I ran across the small courtyard in the cold. Heads poked out one after another at the door of the kitchen. The woman took a bowl and took a bite into her mouth: "The old man said a lot, have you heard about it?" Do you understand what it means?"

Above, several people shook their heads in unison.

"Anyway, it's just to ask the scholar Lu to rebel." The Taoist replied lying on his stomach by the door. He didn't like the literary language, but it didn't mean he didn't understand the meaning of the words. Without paying attention, he ran to the table in a hurry, brought some meaty dishes, and rushed them into the bowl. The tall ones only showed a pair of eyes, and they were shoveled into their mouths.

Then, Lu Xiaoxian reacted, stretched out her hand and scratched it.

But the couple at the door, Mu Qiyou, and Zhu Gangli didn't pay much attention to the screams coming from behind them, they still looked at Lu Liangsheng in the courtyard to see what he had to say.

In the courtyard, it was quiet for a while.

"The old man is very eloquent."
