Great Sui Guoshi

The Taoist raised his hand: "This Tao can testify!"

Then, stared at by Lu Liangsheng, he retracted again and turned away with his head bowed. If he hadn't taken Zhu Gangmane to the brothel, this incident would not have happened today.

Hearing the whole story, the city god over there probably also understood, pinched his fingers and calculated, opened his eyes, and his tone was much more relaxed than before.

"It seems to be exactly as the national teacher said, but if it wasn't for this demon, the bustard and the guests in the building would not be frightened by it. All the compensation, but the pig demon committed crimes, but he was not punished. How can he convince others? ?”

Over there, Zhu Gangli got a little anxious when he heard it, and stood up abruptly, staring straight at the other party with Tong Ling's big eyes, and simply rolled up his cuffs, as if he was about to start a fight.

"You city god is so ignorant, I, the old pig, just admit that I was wrong, and I will change it in the future, and I still want to send me to the government, but let them peel the skin and cramps, and make it into a roast pig?!"

"Old pig!" Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways and frowned.

On the opposite side, the old man didn't look at the angry pig demon, stood up and put up his sleeves, walked past the table, took two steps in the middle, looked out at the gloomy sky and the wet square, Fu Xu was silent for a while.

Open your mouth slowly.

"National teacher, think Ji was so stupid to be burned alive by Xiang Yu in order to save Gaozu?"

There are many answers to this question, but it is also easy to offend people. Lu Liangsheng was silent for a moment and said:

"It must be that the King of Han at that time had something extraordinary, which made the City God admire him in his heart."

In the words, he praised Liu Bang, who was revered by Ji Xin, and also explained that this city god had unique eyesight during his lifetime.

Everyone loves to hear this kind of euphemistic compliment. Looking at Ji Xin outside, he turned his face to the side and immediately laughed.

"Ji remembers that when he followed Gaozu, he was still the King of Han. People outside said he was a ruffian and could not achieve great things, but no one knew that Gaozu treated his subordinates like brothers and sisters, but he must be punished for mistakes. He never arrogantly indulges those who are close to him Only with human beings can we be defeated and fought repeatedly, and the hearts of the people will not be scattered."

The implication was that Lu Liangsheng didn't understand anything, he pressed his impulsive mane, stood up and cupped his hands.

"Xie Chenghuang reminded me that there are still many things that I don't know about being a national teacher in Xiachu. In my position, I really shouldn't look forward to the past to protect my shortcomings."

"It's one thing to protect one's shortcomings, but one must also be punished for doing something wrong. There is no conflict between the two."

Ji Xin turned around and pressed the scholar's hands, let go of the previous matter, and returned to his seat to talk. Seeing some angry pig demons, there was a smile on his face.

"There are many monsters around the national teacher, and I hope to be more restrained. Speaking of which, the old man has been a city god for almost [-] years, and I have never seen a person who cultivates Taoism. There are so many monsters around him. The national teacher should be the first one."

Lu Liangsheng nodded and said with a smile: "Mostly, I am friendly with you and would like to be friends with me, but there are not only monsters around me, but also cultivators and ordinary people."

"Hahaha! It's been a long time since I saw such an uninhibited practitioner of the national teacher." The old city god suddenly laughed, and after a while, he rolled up his sleeves and cupped his hands to Lu Liangsheng.

"I don't know, is the national teacher willing to have one more friend?"

Lu Liangsheng stood up and arched his hands towards the other party, speaking softly.

"The moment the City God enters the door, it's done."

An old man and a young man looked at each other and laughed out loud one after another, making the sidewalker and Zhu Gangli blink their eyes and don't understand what to say.

Over there, talking about friends, Lu Liangsheng casually mentioned that he also knew a city god, Zhou Yu at the end of the Han Dynasty. After all, he was from the same dynasty as Ji Xin in front of him.

Ji Xin frowned and waved his hands: "I know this person, hmph, but I'm a big fellow and a general of the princes. If I see him, I can't say that I have to kowtow in front of Gaozu's grave and ask him a few words!"

have to.....

Lu Liangsheng forgot that one was a hero supported by the Han Dynasty, and the other was a general who ruled the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty. In terms of concept... well, it is almost the attitude of the court towards rebels.

Pressing this embarrassment back to their stomachs, the two then returned to the wrong things that the pig demon did in the city today, and the punishment must be given, which is the responsibility of the City God's Yin Division.

Lu Liangsheng took a sip of the tea and looked at Zhu Gangmane.

"...Since that's the case, at midnight tonight, let the people of the city watch the punishment!"

Fortunately, Zhu Gangyan was not malicious, and the punishment would naturally cause a lot of minor injuries. Of course, the old pig did not do it, but he couldn't help it, and sat down on the ground discouraged.

"Then... the time will be lighter."

Chapter 455 The whole city... Live

At midnight, the night was dark, and the clouds revealed a round of moonlight.

At the mountain gate, a figure in a black gilt robe walked out of the mountain gate. Lu Liangsheng looked up at Qingyue who was covered up, and walked up to the altar step by step.

On the tribute platform, joss sticks were burning.

The wind blows over the high platform, green smoke and clothes are flying, Lu Liangsheng looked to the north of the city, the sparse lights stretched over the city wall, stood the temple in the night in the suburbs, the statue standing in the general's shrine, the divine light flickered, one by one Phantom walked out.

"Punish the evil judge, follow me."

For a moment, the phantom turned into a ray of divine light and rushed out of the temple gate, crossing the night sky and falling onto the high platform of Furong Pond. Ji Xin cupped his hands at Lu Liangsheng, and the chief officer of the Department of Punishment followed behind him also cupped his hands, fighting with the City God It was different, he was more courteous, bowed down and bowed down.

"Meet Lu Guoshi."

"Don't be too polite, let's get started."

Lu Liangsheng nodded towards the two of them, and also called Zhu Gangyan who was wandering around the mountain gate. The latter gritted his teeth, turned into a wild boar and went up to the high platform, staring ferociously at Ji Xin on the opposite side.

"How many whips?"

"ten!"

At this time, Ji Xin was wearing an official robe, and reported the numbers with a solemn expression. The city god guarding the city has its own rules. Reporting to the Yin Division, and after verification, they also have to bear the responsibility.

For the report, it is natural to check the past of the monster. Over there, the punishment officer spread out the law book and asked about the year and month when the pig demon became a spirit. Looking at the content that emerged on it, his hands trembled.

Lu Liangsheng naturally noticed it too, and frowned.

"what happened?"

The judge closed the law book, looked at the city god beside him, and heard the sound of the law: "Master Chenghuang, the origin of this monster...is a bit big, you can see for yourself."

Ji Xin took the law book with doubt, followed the lines of writing that appeared on it, put the law book in his sleeve.

"If the law is not strict, there will be no cure. If the order is not strict, it will not be strict. What matters above has nothing to do with my underworld. If you make a mistake, you will be punished!"

Walking to the huge pig body crawling in front of the altar, he lowered his voice.

"...canopy yuan..."

"Don't bark." Zhu Gang tilted his huge head, moved his eyes upwards, and glanced at the moonlight covered by dark clouds, "My old pig is not the kind who dares to do things but dare not admit it, otherwise, when the moon comes out, My old pig will quit!"

Lu Liangsheng saw Chenghuang and Zhu Gangman whispering together, wanted to hear more clearly, but was blocked by spells, and soon, Ji Xin nodded to the national teacher in front of him, he protects the city, he has his own special spells, one side in his hand The jade token was conjured up, held up in front of his chest, and bowed to the city.

The incense and mana are connected to the Temple of the City God and spread rapidly along the city wall...

......

In the dark outline of the city, the lights of thousands of houses are gradually extinguished, occasionally a few dogs barking can be heard in the streets and alleys, there are faintly lit window lattices, and the crying of babies can be heard.

dong dong——

The night wind blows across the long street, rolling up the quiet banners, the misty street, and the burning lantern, which is carried by the watchman, and walks here.

"In the dead of night, be careful of candles, close doors and windows to guard against thieves sitting on the fence, watch out for your wife~~~"

Boom boom boom!

The watchman knocked on his clapper, and walked slowly through the brightly lit restaurant. Inside the open door, four scholars with shoulders and backs staggered out with lanterns in their hands.

"...That Lu Liangsheng is considered a fellow villager with us anyway, so why doesn't he take care of us!"

"Yes, tomorrow is free, let's go again!"

"But I'm afraid that grandma..."

One of them held the thin-necked flagon, said something, and fell to the ground with a bang. The three who were walking in front looked back at him drunkenly.

"Tch, you still don't get drunk after a thousand cups, ahh..."

As soon as the words were finished, the three of them shook twice in the white mist on the street, and fell one after another. Wang Feng took the lantern and took two steps.

"Today's wine is so intoxicating..."

The lantern fell to the ground with a thud, the lantern was crooked, and within the scope of the firelight, the swaying figure lay down straight and snored.

White mist spread.

In the closed restaurant, the guy who closed the door sat on the wall and fell asleep, and the shopkeeper who settled the accounts came out of the counter cursing, pointing fingers, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he stumbled to a nearby square table, the chopstick cage was overturned, Chopsticks splashed all over the floor.

The night was quiet, and the people who had already turned off the lights gradually lost their murmurs and fell asleep more deeply. The window lattices with fire lights not far away coaxed the noisy children to sleep. Together with the adults, they sat on the ground in a daze and fell asleep together. past.

The magic power that ordinary people can't see spreads, and the soldiers walking on the walls of the imperial city fall asleep one by one with their weapons in their hands. In the huge palace, under the candles, the emperor correcting the memorial, holding a pen to read the words on the memorial, becomes blurred and rubbed He rubbed his eyes, yawned a long time, and fell asleep on the desk.

The endless black tide surrounded him, as if he had entered a dream. In the distant blackness, he vaguely saw a high platform, and a familiar voice sounded.

"Today there are monsters making trouble in the city. They demolished a building in the east market, but they didn't mean to offend. I whip ten lashes and use small punishments to warn the demon spirits in all directions, don't disturb our Dasui city and the people!"

In the dream, Yang Jian seemed to see Lu Liangsheng wearing the robes of the national teacher when he sacrificed to heaven that day, standing on the high platform, dignified and solemn, and shouted: "Where is the Chang'an City God punishing the evil judge!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the darkness.

Wrapped in a gloomy wind, a figure in a high hat and black clothes appeared insidiously, holding a long whip in his hand, "Punishment Officer Gong Changning, I have seen Lu Guoshi."

Yang Jian stood stunned under the stage, watching Lu Liangsheng above him wave his wide sleeves with fire patterns, and his voice fell coldly.

"whip!"

"Yes!"

The black figure held the magic weapon of punishment, opened his cuffs, and immediately pulled away the huge crawling wild boar.

bah bah.....

bah bah bah...

The sound of crackling and peeling the skin and flesh continued until the tenth time before he stopped. During the day, Yang Jian also heard the rumors collected by the people below that a huge wild boar appeared in the city and was taken away by the national teacher. Let's go, I'm going to have a look after two days of free time.

Unexpectedly, it was in a dream... No, it shouldn't be a dream.

Suddenly reacting, Yang Jian wanted to call Lu Liangsheng on the stage, but he couldn't make any sound. He raised the hem of his robe and was about to run to the high stage. The next moment, his steps fell to the ground. Some, the words suffocated in the mouth only burst out at this time.

"National Division!"

The emperor sat up from the desk at once, the lights on the table flickered, moths flapped their wings and bumped against the lampshade, the old man pinched the flesh on the back of his hand, and there was pain, all this became real.

"Is it really a dream?"

Raising his eyes, the maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side were sitting on the ground one by one, leaning on the pillars or walls, and slowly waking up. When they saw the emperor's gaze, they turned pale with fright, and ran to the Kneel down in the middle to plead guilty.

"Did you have a strange dream?"

Down below, a group of maids and eunuchs hurriedly spoke about their dreams. After hearing the scene described, Yang Jian frowned and relaxed, laughed loudly, and slapped the table.

"I didn't expect to see a scene of punishing demons in the dream of a national teacher!"

Immediately, he asked people to prepare the imperial chariot and casual clothes. In the morning of tomorrow, he would go to Wanshou Temple to take a look. The fleet going south to the south of the Yangtze River had already been prepared in Bahe.

The night slowly passed, and the emperor's carriage quietly left the palace city and drove towards the long street. The white fog on the street had long since dissipated. After the hustle and bustle, people who get up early and work in various places gather at the door of the house, on the street, and by the well to talk about strange things.

"Did you guys last night..."

"Some, some. I can't sleep well on weekdays. I somehow fell asleep last night. I seemed to see a..."

"That high platform?!"

"That's right, isn't it? I just realized it now. Isn't that the one in front of the Wanshou Temple? The one on it seems to be the National Teacher."

"...I seem to hear the national teacher saying, punish a monster, do you know what's going on?"

"Oh, that's a mature wild boar. Yesterday I heard that the puppy from the second aunt's house next door ran back and said that there was a wild boar in Dongshi City, which knocked down a brothel, and the national teacher came forward to subdue it."

"Hey, didn't everyone in the city witness the punishment of the demon last night? My dear, this is amazing."

"The national teacher is not saying that it is not an evil monster, it is just an unintentional act."

"A monster is a monster, there is no heart."

"But... who is that who is waving the whip?"

"Didn't you hear? That's the judge in the Temple of the City God. Last time I went to pay respects, it was exactly the same as the clay sculpture on it. This time I saw it with my own eyes. If I go to the temple again, my legs will be weak."

......

Amidst the gossip of the market, the Furong Pond in the southeast of the city, the sun that broke through the cloudy sky shined on the stone tablet of the "Longevity Temple", and the golden color sprinkled into the doors and windows, and the light dust swept away the dampness of yesterday's heavy rain.

Chen Yang just found the place where Lu Liangsheng sat on the chair, listening to the cicadas' chirping outside, pounded the medicine in his hand, Taoist Toad in the distance yawned, dragged the small reclining chair and walked to the door.

The scholar dipped a little powder on the palm of his hand, and used his mana to stick it to the topless pig demon in front of him, and spread it evenly on his back, gently dissolving the effect of the medicine and penetrating into the mottled red marks on the flesh.

The old pig in pain hummed.
