Cao Shouzhen turned to the back and called Yun Xuansu's five servants to wait outside the ruined temple together.

After a while, Lu Yu came out and bowed his hand to them, and everyone left together.

Out of Junshan Island, take a boat and go straight to Yueyang, there is a tall scholar on the boat.

Lu Yu came by passenger boat, and since he had a convenient boat to take, he would naturally not be polite.

"The teacher is in the inn in Yueyang City, he is a master in the world, Lu was taught martial arts when he was young, and he also wanted to cross me into Penglai to learn the Tao, but my Lu family has three generations of Jinshi, Lu Yu is not talented, I dare not be ashamed of my ancestors, and told the master to wait for the Jinshi and serve as an official before boating in the East China Sea."

The ship goes northeast, and Yueyang City on the east bank of Dongting is in sight, and the most conspicuous thing is the West Gate Tower.

This city tower is called Yueyang Tower, three floors high, and the Yellow Crane Tower, Tengwang Pavilion, Phoenix Terrace and called the world's four famous buildings.

"Wow, what a big castle tower, from a distance, it's half higher than the city wall!" The kings all shouted.

Lu Zhizhen did not miss the opportunity, and explained to Senior Sister Yun's apprentice: "This Yueyang Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period, and its predecessor was the Parade Building of Lu Su, the Governor of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and it was called Baling City Tower during the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese book ordered Zhang Shuo to build this building on the basis of the old parade platform when he was guarding Baling. ”

Lu Yu also said: "Yueyang was called Baling in ancient times, in the third year of Song Yuanjia in the Southern Dynasty (426 years), the Chinese book servant Yan Yan Yan passed through Baling, and made "Shi'an County is also the capital and Zhangxiangzhou Dengba Lingcheng Tower", there is a sentence of 'clear atmosphere Ji Yueyang', and the name of Yueyang is seen for the first time in poetry. Li Bai of this dynasty made "Ascending Yueyang Tower with Xia Twelve", and this building was called Yueyang Tower at the beginning. It can be seen that Baling City at that time has been changed to Yueyang City, and Baling City Tower is also called Yueyang Tower. ”

"Sure enough, it's a scholarly family, which year, month and such a long poem name can be remembered!" Hongdou secretly whispered to He Qiong and Guo Hong

When the boat arrived at the dock, Lu Chaoyang and a few others were left to guard, and the others landed on the shore.

Lu Chaoyang: Why am I watching the ship again?

When they came to the west gate, everyone wanted to go upstairs, but there were sergeants guarding below, and people who were not dressed were allowed to go up.

Yueyang Tower is different from the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, the Yellow Crane Tower has become a restaurant, and Yueyang Tower, as the city tower of the west gate of the state capital, has been guarded by the city gate sergeants, and it is also the place where the successive assassins set up banquets to entertain guests.

"It turns out that the so-called untidy clothes refer to the people who wear short arrowfish." Cao Shouzhen was a little displeased, he wore a short kudzu when he was operating the boat, and later he was able to come up because He Qiong reminded him to temporarily change his robe before going ashore.

"This is the official building where the assassin Shi Xiu came to view the lake, and the scholars can compose poems and add color to the building, what will the common people do?" Lui Zhizhen said.

Guo Hong came down and looked up, this high-rise building carved beams and painted buildings, really majestic and majestic, and then climbed the third floor to overlook, 800 miles of Dongting in full view, worthy of being a famous spot in the world, can be called a must.

Everyone laughed for a while, lingered for half an hour, and then reluctantly left.

After entering the city, he arrived at the inn, and as soon as Lu Yu entered the door, he asked the man, "Has my master gotten up today?" ”

"No, no, according to the instructions of the guest officer, the wine was sent over on time, and it was all placed in the room."

Lu Yu opened his purse and took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them over, and said, "Open a few rooms, and send twenty people's wine and food to the dock to a Hengshan disciple named Lu Chaoyang." ”

The guy said yes and smiled.

Lu Yu led everyone upstairs, remembering that he hadn't reported his master's name yet, and said as he walked: "My master is Zhong Liquan, the head disciple of the Penglai faction in the East China Sea. ”

Zhongli Quan?!

Guo Hong glanced at Lu Yu.

Are you sure you didn't misname it?

Are you Lu Dongbin?

Lu Yu walked to a guest room on the second floor and pushed the door in, and shouted, "Master, I'm back!" ”

The windows in the room were closed, and it seemed that a curtain had been deliberately used to block another layer, and the room was very dark.

He was so tall that he could only enter the door with his head down, and a black shadow fell from above and smashed on his neck, feeling very slippery.

The big scholar seemed to be accustomed to it, grabbed the slippery thing and threw it outside, and landed right at the feet of Wang Dudu.

Wang Dudu frowned, and dodged to the side in disgust, and there was a toad on the floor, jumping and fleeing.

Lu Yu shouted loudly: "Master, friends from the Hengshan faction and the Wangwu faction have come to see you together!" ”

After waiting for a while, no one in the house answered.

Guo Hong's eyes flashed, and he had already seen the situation inside.

This is a guest room where ordinary people live, the furniture is intricately arranged, and there are many miscellaneous items moved in from outside, like a small labyrinth.

He raised his hand and took out a note from the crack above the door, only to see that it was written: "Stinky boy, dare to tell Master, don't break in, honestly break in." ”

Handing the note to Lu Yu, the big man was a little embarrassed, and walked inside and said, "Master likes to tease me, do you wait outside or come with me?" ”

Everyone felt the novelty and followed him into the dark room.

Silk threads were drawn horizontally and vertically in the room, and bells were hung on them.

Turning east and west, Lu Yu seemed to be very familiar with this formation, and kept reminding the people behind him not to touch some key things.

Soon came to the middle of the hall, Guo Hong's eyes lit up again, and he saw a table here.

Lu Yu couldn't see anything, he stepped forward in the dark, groped under the table, there was a soft sound, the fire flickered, and a candle lit up, which looked very strange in the dark room.

The big man was standing next to the candle, and the light of the fire shone down his cheek from below, and it was green and terrifying.

He pulled out a piece of paper from under a bowl on the table and approached it by candlelight.

Guo Hong stepped forward, only to see that it was written: "Stinky boy, when you arrive in the battle, if you find something hidden, you will pass the test." ”

Yun Xuansu, Lu Zhizhen and Cao Shouzhen were behind the two, and He Qiong, Wang Dudu, and Hongdou followed behind.

The candlelight shook suddenly, a yin wind blew, the three girls were shocked, Wang Du felt that someone put his hand on his shoulder, and when he turned his head in fright, he saw a green-faced and fanged evil ghost standing behind him!

She turned pale with fright, fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes, and the cat in her arms jumped up and pounced on the evil ghost, which was a fierce scratch!

Guo Hong turned around and took a brisk step, rushed up and kicked the evil ghost away.

Lu Yu walked to the side of the bed not far away, groped for the rope and pulled, and the window opened with a bang, and everyone squinted their eyes with excitement.

Crash.

The doors and windows were closed again.

The lights flickered, and Lu Yu comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid, it may be that there is a problem with the mechanism, and the doors and windows are closed by themselves." ”

"Why do I feel so flustered when I hear this?" Hongdou whispered, she tightly clutched the corner of He Qiong's clothes.

He Qiong learned the aisle method, and was obviously much calmer.

Lu Yu pressed the mechanism, opened the doors and windows again, and the room lit up.

Only then did He Qiong see clearly that the evil ghost was a one-man tall puppet, made vividly, and could confuse the real with the false.

Yun Xuansu pinched the apprentice's people, Wang Dudu woke up quietly, threw himself into her arms and cried: "Master, there are ghosts!" ”

Red Bean pointed to the puppet and said, "Fake! ”

Wang Dudu rubbed his eyes and pouted: "It's too scary!" ”

Guo Hong stepped forward and took out a note from under the stone pillow on the bed, which read: "Stinky boy, you have been tricked, leave the puppet for you to play with, for the teacher to retreat and study the new Taoism, let's go!" ”

He handed over the note, Lu Yu frowned and said, "Master is not here, what can I do?" ”

Yun Xuansu asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "I guess I have some idea, go to a place where no one is going to alchemy." In addition to drinking and sleeping, Master delved into some strange things by himself. ”

He Qiong asked, "This puppet was also made by Zhongli's predecessors?" ”

Lu Yu nodded and said, "The ghost puppet must have been newly created by the family teacher, and the original one was left in Luoyang." In the past, he used to joke with his old man, and he often touched the neighbor's house, closed the window of the room, and then used the puppet to play in the dark room, and the people inside fled without being frightened......"

"This ...... Most people can't stand it! Hongdou whispered to Wang Dudu.

Wang Dudu had just been woken up by the master, and she was still sobbing, she was most afraid of ghosts, and her crying was even louder.

Lu Zhizhen opened his mouth at this time and said: "It turns out that the Lingshi is the famous Han Zhongli in Luoyang, and I have heard of it in Chang'an a few years ago!" ”

Lu Yu replied: "The family teacher calls himself the world's first scattered Han (the first scattered person in the world), and the people in the rivers and lakes are generally called 'Sanhan Zhongli', and I don't know which bastard finally became Han Zhongli, saying that the master is a general of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't he have lived for hundreds of years?" This nickname is a false word. ”

Yun Xuansu said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Qi Xiazi's predecessor Dao Fa is world-famous, and Senior Uncle Zhongli is now also known as Zhenheluo, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet today." ”

The head of the East China Sea Penglai faction is the head of the world's seven peers Qi Xiazi Shi Beiwu, he was in Jiangxi Hongzhou (Nanchang) Xishan cultivation in his early years, is the former head of the sect, and later accepted Guo Zhongwen as a disciple, after passing the position of the head of the sect, the family moved to Penghu, and created the East China Sea Penglai faction.

Today's head of the Penglai faction is still Shi Beiwu, who is nearly seventy years old, and he has recruited disciples in Fujian and southern Zhejiang, Zhong Liquan is one of the best, and finally became the successor of the next head.

Wangwu Mountain, where Yun Xuansu is located, is separated from Luoyang by a river, and he often walks in the rivers and lakes, so he has also heard of it.

The ghost puppet is similar to the size of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and at this time Kaka sits up, the belly opens, and a big-headed doll comes out of it, with the chin open and closed, and there may be wheels underneath, which slides automatically, which is very vivid and interesting.

Lu Yu took out a note from the doll's mouth, Guo Hong leaned up to look at it, and wrote: Are you scared? This one gives you a crush.

Wang Dudu was still sobbing, Lu Yu turned his head to her and said, "I'm sorry just now, this is the master who transformed it with Jiangnan mud dolls, so I should give it to you as an apology!" ”

Wang Dudu was crying and staring at the big-headed doll just now, and when he heard that it was given to her, he immediately called out in surprise.

She had never seen such a fun thing, she was reluctant to put it down when she picked it up, and ran to the yard to play with Hongdou and He Qiong, and the tears on her face didn't have time to dry.

The ghost puppet's stomach closed, and he rattled on the ground beside him.

Guo Hong saw it and knew that this was not a simple puppet, but a machine person, and he was also interested.

He leaned closer, the hem of his clothes brushed, and in an instant the puppet disappeared.

Lu Yu laughed and said, "Good eyesight! Senior Brother Guo is not bad, let's communicate more. ”

The puppet and the wooden collapse are linked, which can be collected or released, and Guo Hong has already seen through the mechanism.

Lu Yu raised his hand and slid over Guo Hong's placket, and a peach blossom appeared out of nothing, as if it was taken out of the other party's collar.

Guo Hong smiled and waved his hand, snatched the peach blossom from Lu Yu's hand, turned it into a folding fan in a blink of an eye, opened it with a brush, and painted a peach blossom on it.

This peach blossom is lifelike, and it is almost exactly the same as the real flower just now!

Lu Yu spread out his left hand.

Guo Hong knew what he meant, so he threw the folding fan over.

Lu Yu caught it, and opened it again, and the peach blossom on it had disappeared and turned into a portrait of a Yaksha.

The two of them saw that Hunter was happy with a few moves, and found that they were not compatible.

Both sides are connoisseurs.

Lu Yu admired Guo Hong's technique and glanced at him.

Guo Hong smiled knowingly.

It's about communicating after the fact.

Yun Xuansu's Wangwu faction pays attention to internal strength and does not study the Tao deeply, so it is indifferent.

Lu Zhizhen saw that Senior Sister Yun was silent, and also made a reserved appearance.

Cao Shouzhen, He Qiong and others slapped their hands painfully.

Lu Yu didn't know what the Dao method of Yun and Lu Erren was, but when he saw that a young disciple of the Hengshan Sect had such a skill, he felt that the older ones were naturally more powerful.

And these two behaved so calmly......

Actually, he misunderstood.

Yun Xuansu and Lu Zhizhen are really no match for Guo Hong, who has Liu Yuanjing's personal transmission, in Taoism.

As soon as Guo Hong saw Lu Yu's excited appearance, he felt that he might be thinking crookedly.

But......

This also seems to be good.

Lu Yu cleaned up a little and asked Yun Xuansu and the others to sit down.

He groaned slightly, and said: "Senior Sister Yun, Senior Brother Lu (Lu Zhizhen), I don't know when the family teacher will come back, Su Su's matter can't be delayed, can you two follow me to the Assassin Mansion and come forward to eliminate demons?" ”

Yun Xuansu and Lu Zhizhen glanced at each other and said, "We don't have a reputation, I'm afraid we won't be able to trust Li Taishou." ”

Lu Yu nodded, and then said: "I will change my appearance, and I want to find one of you to pretend to be a writer, so that you can act." ”

Yun Xuansu asked, "Who does Senior Brother think is okay?" ”

Lu Yu pointed at Guo Hong and said: "Senior Brother Guo is similar to the family teacher, I can help him dress up, I dare not say that it is very similar, and it can also be like a seven, anyway, my uncle has never seen the family teacher, so naturally he will not show flaws." ”

Guo Hong nodded and said, "Then please ask Senior Brother Lu to do it." ”

After a while, Guo Hong turned into a big man with a curly beard.

I saw that the top of his head was bare, his hair on both sides was combed into two buns and hung behind his ears, he was wearing long pants and bare feet, and he was wearing a Taoist robe, but he was bare-chested and exposed, and he had a big belly, holding a wine gourd in one hand and a big pu fan in the other.

Guo Hong tried his voice, and Lu Yu taught him to be thicker.

Tuning is complete.

Lifelike.

"I've seen Zhongli's seniors!" Yun Xuansu and Lu Zhizhen were both joking beside them.

Lu Yu cleaned up his disguised things, and said happily: "With the help of Wang Wu and Hengshan colleagues, Su Su's affairs are nine out of ten, so I will go to the Assassin Mansion with Senior Brother Guo to discuss with my uncle." ”

He pulled Guo Hong out of the inn in a hurry, walked all the way to the back door of the Assassin's Mansion, asked Menzi to report, and was quickly brought in.

Lu Yu asked Guo Hong to sit in the living room for a while, and walked through the hall to the study.

His cousin Li Yuan was sitting behind the desk writing, and when he saw Lu Yu, he didn't raise his head, he continued to wave, and said: "San Lang is here, you can sit for a while, and your uncle will finish writing these two lines." ”

Lu Yu knew his uncle's temper, and sat quietly on the side with arched hands.

But there was a fire in my heart, and I couldn't sit still with my buttocks, and I kept twisting and going.

After a while, Li Yuan finished his work, folded the things he wrote, put them in an envelope and sealed them, called the servant and said, "Send it to the post station." ”

The servant took the command, and took the letter.

He raised his head and asked, "Sogo (Lu Yu's character), my uncle is busy with official business, and I don't know what famous places you have visited in Yuezhou these days?" ”

Lu Yu said: "Uncle, my nephew went to Junshan and met my cousin!" ”

Li Yuan said with a hesitant face: "Don't mention this evil obstacle, let her fend for herself!" ”

"My nephew sees that my cousin is just evil, and the family teacher Zhong Liquan is the high Taoist of the Penglai faction in the East China Sea, and he has arrived in Yuezhou today, I want to ask him to do the magic to exorcise evil spirits, I don't know what my uncle wants?"

Li Yuan sighed lightly and said, "You know that my uncle believes in Buddhism, and he has invited many high-ranking monks to practice these days, but it has not worked. Taoist priests...... The old man is not very believable, Zhao Guizhen of the previous dynasty is famous all over the world, and in the end, he didn't poison the first emperor and was killed by the saint outside Jingzhao Mansion? ”

"This ...... My master is an overseas true immortal, of course different from Zhao Guizhen and the like! ”

Zhao Guizhen's reputation is already stinky, Lu Yu has nothing to do with him, and stepping on it in idle talk is nothing.

"Okay, since you insist on doing so, let's try it, go back and tell your master that if you can cure Susu, Li will be grateful for his money."

When Lu Yu saw Li Yuan agree, he smiled and said, "My master is here today, just outside in the living room." ”

Li Yuan came to his senses when he heard it, and said, "Then why don't you have a please?" ”

After a while, Guo Hong followed Lu Yu into the study.

I saw an official in his fifties who was a little thin and a little thin greeted him, and the two sides saluted.

"Li Fujun is polite!"

"Zhongli Refiner is polite, please sit here!"

Guo Hong walked to the side of the couch according to his words, and his eyes were attracted by a calligraphy on the wall, on which was written a poem:

The city is high and steep, and the ground is better than the towers. Shuo Desert Warm Hong goes, Xiaoxiang spring water comes.

Lingering a few thoughts, cover up if it is cut. Reflecting three horns, the cold fragrance is a tree and plum.

The grass in Wulin is far away, and the red cliff is sailing. The past is empty and resentful, and the east will not return.

Divide Yingchuan Zheng, hang Luoyang Cai. Whisk the box to adjust the bead column, grind the lead and survey the jade cup.

Chess turns over small holes, and freezes the mash. This interest is not thin, when to accompany it.

The inscription is Fan Chuan Jushi Du Mu inscribed in the first month of the third year of Dazhong.

Li Yuan saw that Guo Hong was reading Du Mu's poem, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect the refiner to be interested in this poem. This is Du Muzhi (Mu Zhi's Du Mu's words) written at the beginning of the year, entitled "Early Spring to Yuezhou Li Zhijun, Li Shanqi loves wine, love the land is leisurely", hahahaha, this Du Fanchuan introduced the old man as the same tone (like-minded people), learned that I was released in Yuezhou, so I wrote this poem and asked someone to send it as a ritual. ”

Guo Hong: You hung this painting opposite the guest seat, and you also trimmed it with gold, which blinded my eyes.

That one.

I was actually looking at the moire made of gold......

He just wanted to speak, but Lu Yu was afraid of asking a question that didn't fit his identity, so he hurriedly explained on the side: "Du Fanchuan entered Beijing last year to work as a secretary of the Wailang and the History Museum, and he is a colleague with his uncle, and he also likes poetry, wine, and Go, so his friendship with my uncle is naturally good." ”

Li Yuan twisted his hair and laughed as he spoke: "He was transferred from Chizhou (Guichi, Anhui) to the Ministry of Shangshu Province as a Lang official, and the old man was released from the Ministry of Officials Langguan (Si Xun Yuan Wai Lang) as a Assassin Shi, different, different." ”

ps:

Historical figure: Li Yuan.

The name Lü Yu comes from the epitaph of his father Lü Rang, he is Lü Dongbin, who changed his name to Lü Yan after attaining enlightenment at the age of fifty. Lu Yu's character is given by the author, the character is to explain the name, and Sogo can explain Yu.
