Great Sui Guoshi

4 Chapter Twenty Mysterious Connections

There was still the sound of water echoing in the deep stream, and footsteps sounded in the quiet forest. Under the moonlight, the old grandson led Lu Pan and eight people stepping on fallen leaves, came out of the forest, and said, "What's the matter with the Jiao?"

On the opposite side five or six steps away, Lu Liangsheng, who was standing in the moonlight, looked at a scale in his palm, and gently blew a breath on it, the speed visible to the naked eye shrunk down to the size of a thumb.

"It's the belly scale of that old dragon."

Seeing Sun Yingxian, Lu Pan and others coming, Lu Liangsheng told them the conversation with the Qianjiao in the mountain stream just now, and gave up a magic weapon and gave it back to the other party. The Taoist admired it a lot. At least few of the cultivators he has seen can do it.

But still say: "Prodigal!"

Daoist Toad lay on the scholar's shoulder, moved his belly, and said something that only Lu Liangsheng could hear.

"Bad guy."

Hehehe.....

Lu Liangsheng on the side looked at the smiles on their faces, and naturally understood the concern.

"Anyway, the magic weapon was obtained from Hua Hongyi. In the final analysis, it was refined by the dragon tendons on the old dragon's body. Returning it to the other party is regarded as returning it to the original owner. He also accepted this kindness. He peeled off a scale to give it to the other party. Me? In the future, if I transform into a dragon and rise to the sky, I, Lu Liangsheng, will not be able to step on the altar to practice the law, so I will come to give alms. Wouldn't it be a noble demeanor, haha..."

After saying a word, Lu Liangsheng himself was amused by his own words, and the Taoist next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Hey." He turned around and walked to a bone that was a few steps away, touched the mustache on his lips, and clicked his tongue twice. Sound, squatting down with great interest.

The corpse's clothes had already been corroded and rotten, only a few strips of cloth were still hanging on them, and the hollow head always looked creepy.

The Taoist is not afraid, he has seen the dead many times, he even reached out to touch it, and raised his face to look at the scholar.

"Old Lu, this is Qin Xu's house...that old woman with yellow skin in the deserted house, I'm afraid I can only wait for a pile of bones to go back."

What Old Sun said made Lu Pan push him away: "I think, if we send him back to the yellow-skinned old woman in Weishan Town, we can let him return to his roots and bury him in his own house." home."

Although the people in the mountains are sometimes unruly and fierce, the thought of falling leaves returning to their roots is engraved in their bones and cannot be erased.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the corpse and nodded silently. Letting him go home is also repaying the old woman's love. As for who will take him back...

"It's okay to take him back, so who will take him?"

The Taoist who was squatting on the ground asked these words at the right time, and the scholar turned his face slightly and cast his gaze. He was stunned: "Why are you looking at me?"

Subconsciously looking to the other side, Lu Pan and the other eight people also looked over, hurriedly got up and pointed at them, while stepping back.

"Hey, you guys are bullying the few."

"Hey, it's just that many people bully few people."

When Lu Pan bent down to pick up the bones of Qin Xu's family, Lu Liangsheng also nodded, and raised his hands to Sun Yingxian: "Old Sun, I will trouble you, I will shrink him with a shrinking spell and put it in your cloth bag." .”

"I was asked to carry the bones of the dead! Except for my master, no one has ever carried the bones!"

Muttering something, the Taoist crossed his arms and turned away. For a moment, he turned his face sideways to look away, and patted the yellow cloth bag on his waist.

"Why are you still standing there, pretend to come in!"

When the bones were put into the bag, he curled his lips: "Wait here for my way, and I'll be back at dawn!"

After finishing speaking, he read out the Fa Jue, erected the Fa Jue and went down, burrowed into the soil, carried a small lump of soil and quickly extended into the forest, and disappeared with the sound of fallen leaves rustling in the forest. In the darkness.

The matter on this side has been finished, Lu Liangsheng put away the dragon scales, and dragged Qiyou who was still somewhat reluctant to walk back. The woman turned her head to look at Longya while walking, and said eagerly:

"Old demon, what you said, you must remember, if you want to make a magic weapon for me, you must do it yourself."

"Yeah. I know!"

Lu Liangsheng responded with a smile, and went back to the temporary resting place. On the way, Bian Qiyou talked and laughed, but he was thinking about what the old Jiao said before.

The bonfire was burning, and in the flickering light, Mu Qiyou held a wooden stick and lifted the fire to watch the speckled sparks rising. Lu Pan and the eight of them sat in a circle nearby and excitedly talked about seeing the dragon, even if it was far away. From a distance, only the long shadow under the moonlight can be seen, which is also amazing.

"When we get back to Qixia Mountain, we must tell the mother-in-law and baby, mother-in-law, I saw a dragon when I went out..."

"Oh, yes, yes, Lu You, you didn't see it here, good guy, that dragon stands tall, much higher than the forest next to it, and its lower body is still under the cliff, blocked by clouds and mist gone."

"What happened then? Did you have a fight with it?"

"Hey, if Liangsheng didn't stop me, the seven of us would bring you back a piece of meat."

The tall Lu Qing spoke the most airily, waving his hands and slapping his chest, just as he said, "Pick up a piece of meat..." In the dark night in the distance, as if looking at the Dragon Cliff, the faint roar of the dragon came, startling the surrounding nights. The bird flew around, closed its mouth immediately, and waved its hand.

"Forget it, that Jiao is also a kind person, so don't embarrass him, just go to sleep!"

The remaining seven people also heard it, and looked at the other side of the fire. Lu Liangsheng, who was lying on the grass with his hands behind his head, lay down on his side one by one.

"Sleep quickly, don't talk about it."

"That's right, you'll be fine after a night's sleep. Anyway, there's Miss Qiyou here, and no mountain elves and wild monsters come over."

"Dare to come? Eight of us have a circumference, what's good about it?!"

In the intermittent voice, Lu Liangsheng didn't actually fall asleep. With his eyes closed, he was thinking about whether the person who went to slaughter Jiao with Qin Xu's family might be Master Wuyuan.

"The black whip came from the other party's hand, and the dragon tendons on this magic weapon belonged to this old dragon, but according to Shenghuo Mingzun, he also met Master Wuyuan a hundred years ago, and so on... The Holy Huo Mingzun of the Praying Fire Sect is called Qin Shouling, so he might not be related to that Qin Xu's family... If so, the Holy Huo Mingzun invites Qin Xu's family to slaughter Jiaojiao and get dragon tendons together, and then kill the other party, but... ...what is the purpose? '

The idea is a bit far-fetched, with Longjin and Master Wuyuan as references, the following connection is not impossible, and it is difficult for Lu Liangsheng to continue to piece together fragmentary clues when he thinks of this.

"Master, you have profound knowledge and a lot of experience. Can you see the connection between Master Wu Yuan, Lao Jiao, and Qin Xu's family?"

Not far from the bookshelf, Taoist Toad, who had spread out the bedding, was wrapped in it, yawned, and opened his eyes, "What was your cultivation level when you were a teacher? A group of human ascetics all said that there are huge crowds of people when they see you as a teacher. Blinding the sun, how can I have time to think about these things, I am sleepy, go to bed quickly, and I have to hurry tomorrow... By the way, in Chang'an City, remember to order a table of meals first."

Lu Liangsheng sat up and looked at the master who was sleeping soundly under the sheet, so he decided to take a photo of "The Boundless Mountain and Sea" to see if there were other changes in it.

Mars cracklingly rose under the provocation of Qiyou, drifting into the night sky in the blowing mountain wind, in a black outline of tree shadows, the mountain road was covered with water mist, and the bright moon cast coldness, there were four figures carrying wooden sticks on their shoulders The sedan chair built on long branches, through the hazy fog, the ups and downs of the sedan chair, and one person on board, staggered towards this side.

Chapter 421 The Toad Who Wants Face

The moonlight shone through the mist, and in the dimness, it seemed that someone was guiding the four people carrying wooden sedan chairs from the side of the mountain road.

"Your Majesty, how long does it take to go? The four of us are just scholars, and it's okay to move our mouths. After a long time, we really can't move anymore."

"What nonsense, your Majesty asked us to lift the palanquin. Does it have anything to do with moving your mouth? It doesn't matter. Let's go, maybe we will be there in a while."

"I am a scholar, how can I say such a boneless..."

The wooden sedan chair swayed up and down, and Wang Feng, who had just spoken halfway through his mouth, caught a glimpse of the burly figure on the sedan chair who seemed to have woken up from the corner of his vision, without squinting, the conversation suddenly changed, and Ling Ran said righteously, "You're right! Better than running into a vixen who always wants to harm me and other scholars, my lord, don’t you think so?”

On the sedan chair, Gongsun Liao woke up and felt the burning in his body, which was not as serious as before. He didn't expect the disciple to be killed, but the opponent actually possessed divine power. If it wasn't just a hasty fight, the injury might have been more serious.

'The catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, why does such a character suddenly appear?Looking at the costumes, the Sui people are undoubtedly... Find Zixing first, and if possible, persuade him as soon as possible, restore the demon core, restore the way, and get rid of this variable first. '

Thinking about it, when he heard the words of the four humans captured by him, Gongsun Liao just hummed, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the "fox spirit" behind him. Now it can't help but arouse his interest.

"Tell me, what kind of monster did you meet?"

The four scholars who were carrying the sedan chair looked haggard, but the monster asked all the questions, so he dared not answer. After hesitating for a moment, Ma Liu, who was beside Wang Feng, mustered up the courage to speak.

"Back to the king, apart from the two foxes I met when I was rushing for the exam, I also met a weird scholar when I was on the boat. When I arrived in Shunyuan County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I even encountered a ghost with painted skin in a close friend's house."

As he opened the chatter box, Zhang Ti and Zhao Tang in front followed suit.

"Oh, that can scare a person to death."

"I think that although the Painted Skin Ghost is scary, it's not as scary as the pig demon I met last time. It tells me to wait for the scholars to cook for it. It's embarrassing. It's obvious that the rice is cooked, and it will use us as a dish." Well."

The babbling and screaming words sounded back and forth, and Gongsun Liao rested his fingertips on the handrail of the sedan chair little by little, squinting his eyes and listening quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

These four people are quite interesting, they didn't take advantage of my coma and ran away, but they can still talk to this king calmly, it's very interesting.

Soon, he followed this mountain path into a dense forest path. He raised his face, felt the familiar demon power with his still usable demon power, opened the corner of his mouth, and saw sharp fangs. When the four of them stopped talking, he raised his face. The finger goes in a certain direction.

"where to!"

......

At the same time, the night owl crowed under the moon, and in the dim light illuminated by the bonfire, Taoist Toad, who was wrapped in a bedding and sleeping soundly, seemed to have sensed something, opened his eyelids, and Lu Liangsheng, who was taking a nap on the side of the tree, , opened their eyes at the same time with a tacit understanding, one person and one toad turned their eyes and looked in the direction of the north.

In the slight sound of getting up, Lu Liangsheng patted the dust on the back of his robe, "Master, it seems that a distinguished guest has arrived."

"It's him, Gongsun Liao."

Toad Taoist stood up from the bed with his flippers on his back. When the forest in front of him was swaying, he suddenly turned around, let go of his flippers and rushed into the compartment of the bookshelf. sound.

Outside, the scholar frowned: "Master?"

In the bookshelf, Taoist Toad got half of his body into the small closet, his buttocks were exposed, he pulled clothes out one by one, threw them at his feet, found a suitable one, compared it with him, threw it aside again, and continued. Rummage inside.

"Although I'm an old friend, I still need a decent dress to be a teacher. You should deal with it first!"

clap clap-

The birds perched in the forest flew out in surprise, and the diffuse mist surged up. The eight sleeping people and Xi You, who was playing with fire beside him, also noticed something strange. A groan was heard, and four figures unsteadily lifted a sedan chair, carrying a person, slowly walked out of the fog, and then quietly descended from the four people to the ground.

"Purple Star!"

The body of the sedan passed through the white mist, and a tall man above him, wearing a white velvet cloak, with a majestic face and beard, stood up dragging the cloak.

The eight of Lu Pan lined up and stood in front of them. Their mortal bodies couldn't feel each other's Taoism. They could exercise their bodies for a long time, but they were still sensitive to Qi. Their gnarled muscles were tense, and they trembled slightly.

"Uncle Pan, don't be nervous!"

The eight burly men in front were also relieved when they heard the voice, and made way to the left and right. Lu Liangsheng led Qiyou to the front from the middle, looked at the Northwest Demon King mentioned by the master opposite, and Qiyou beside him Flapping his nostrils as if smelling something, he leaned close to the scholar and said softly: "Old demon, he has blood on his body, he seems to be injured."

And Gongsun Liao over there nodded slightly, and was also looking at the scholar in front of him. He was wearing a blue shirt and a white robe, holding a scroll in his hand, a strand of hair hanging down his cheeks, and there was a faint aura of grandeur on his body, as well as a vaguely demonic aura.

"Lu Liangsheng?"

Politeness is shared by both sides. Lu Liangsheng naturally wouldn't salute this demon, but just nodded his head: "I'm here. Does the demon king have something important to do?"

Around the sedan chair not far away, the four Wang Feng, Ma Liu, Zhang Ti, and Zhao Tang were wiping their sweat stains, and when they heard a familiar voice, they realized who the scholar over there was, and immediately looked at each other with tacit understanding , along the edge of the confrontation, on tiptoe, hand in hand and slipped past bit by bit, the moment they approached, shouted "Wow!", spread their legs and ran away.

"Finally saved!"

"Master Lu, do you still remember the four of us? Wang Fengma Liu Zhang Ti Zhao Tang!"

"Mountain Temple, Wang Sheng's Mansion, Changyang Mountain..."

"We collided again, and this time it was a big one!"

"Master Lu, don't let him go, I've seen him vomit blood, he must be injured!!"

"Yes, we endured humiliation all the way, and finally we are not ashamed of the teachings of the sages!"

The Fourth Scholar rushed to the back of Lu Pan and the other eight people in one breath, and the grievances on the road poured out. He hid behind the eight big men, and he became much more courageous. He overlapped his head and pointed at the wolf demon over there.

"He actually asked us to carry the sedan chair for him, it's an insult to the gentleman! Mr. Lu, we are scholars, it's too embarrassing!"

"Ouch...the soles of the shoes are worn out, you see, they are bleeding, hiss...it hurts me to death."

The wind blows through the woods.

Touching the white velvet, Gongsun Liao glanced at the four people, with complicated eyes showing that the four people were talking and laughing with him before, but when they turned their heads, they looked like this again.

He only glanced at it, but still cast his eyes on the face of the scholar opposite.

"Where is Purple Star? This king has something important to do with him."

Seeing that the other party's tone was not good, or that it was the tone, Lu Liangsheng was about to speak, when a short figure quickly climbed up the bookshelf, with a pair of fins on his back and a bulging belly, nodding his head to look at the bright moon in the night sky, black and red The side robe fluttered in the wind.

"Why are you looking for me... croak!"

Chapter 422 Resolute

"Master."

When Lu Liangsheng turned his head, he saw Taoist Toad standing on the top of the bookshelf with his flippers on his back, looking up at the moonlight, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the toad who was looking up at the hazy moonlight also spoke softly at this time: " Liangsheng, let him speak."

The scholar nodded, then turned sideways, and pulled Qiyou to make room for the wolf monster to see Taoist Toad. The latter let out a breath when he saw the short figure on the bookshelf.

"Old Toad, I am a little envious to see you living a happy life."

"Come here from Heiyun Mountain, is that what you said to this old man?" Daoist Toad lowered his face from the night sky, and jumped off the bookshelf in a robe with a black background and gold trim, his toad eyes slowly half-closed: "I'm still injured. , there are not many who can hurt you."

That wolf demon has been enlightened for hundreds of years through incense, and he has long been a demon king. Few demons in the northwest have been able to defeat him. If he really meets a strong opponent, the wolf is cruel and cunning, and he is often afraid of his opponents. Fighting to die with the other party, and now being injured, Taoist Toad who is familiar with him is a little puzzled.

Gongsun Liao didn't care that the ascetics around him were still those eight big men, but he only glanced at the woman in the black skirt, returned to the sedan chair, flicked his cloak, and sat down.

"It's not many, but it's not impossible. I met a few days ago. My disciple was killed by a Sui general. He called me out when he was dying, and had a trick with that person. The result... .”

Under the thick beard and long beard, the open lips, the fangs are lightly closed up and down: "... As a result, I was injured by the opponent's magic weapon, and the divine power on it was so powerful that it hurt my soul with just one blow." …”

Saying that, the wolf demon raised his eyes and looked at Taoist Toad.
