Chapter Eighty-Six: I Want to See the Unseen
The two of them were full of wine and food, and returned to the room on the second floor of the inn, Lu Liangsheng asked the shopkeeper to boil hot water, and Hong Lian avoided the sun, took out his robe, and put it behind the screen.
This inn is not big, there are only two guys, it is always one of them who carries water in and out, Lu Liangsheng untied the single clothes of the outer cover, hung it on the shelf, looked at Xiao Er who was trying the water temperature and asked:
"Why are you alone, the one on the first floor before?"
The guy tested the temperature of the water, withdrew his hand and wiped the water stains on his clothes, and walked past the scholar with a bucket.
"Hey, that guy just paid the shopkeeper and was ready to leave, saying that the city is haunted, and the toad can talk, this person, okay, but there is a problem with his head, when he came before, he also said that his village is still haunted. ”
Lu Liangsheng smiled, glanced at the master on the bed, probably guessed that when he was eating before, he was seen talking, took out a tip from his arms, and sent the guy away.
"Master, next time you don't speak in public, you see, you'll smash other people's jobs. ”
The toad man opened his eyes, climbed over to the sun-soaked pillow, and yawned.
"What's the matter with the teacher? ”
Comfortably stretched the four flippers, lay down, and lazily waved the front flippers.
"Hurry up and take a shower and go see the old pedant. ”
Here, Lu Liangsheng had already stripped off and sat in a big wooden barrel, his head resting on the side, thinking about what had happened since he entered Beijing, "destined people", "protectors of the country", and "monsters in the court" ....... to the current depression in the capital.
Among them, it seems to have something to do with oneself more or less.
After thinking for a while, Lu Liangsheng shook his head and smiled, let's wait until I ask my teacher.
After a moment, a chill suddenly touched his shoulder, and the scholar looked sideways, Nie Honglian didn't know when he got in, so frightened that he hurriedly covered the bath towel on the surface of the water, and sank unnaturally to the bottom of the barrel.
"That...... Red mercy, it's not good for you to come in. ”
Nie Honglian put her fingers on her lower lip and smiled, approached the past, her fingertips reached into the water and poured a few splashes, her eyes blinked her eyelashes, and she looked at the scholar in the bucket charmingly.
"When I was still alive, the concubine liked to soak in warm water like this, it felt like being embraced, but unfortunately, now I can't even feel a little warmth, son, you might as well let the concubine help ......"
Before he finished listening to the faint words, Lu Liangsheng sighed and opened his mouth first.
"Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way for you ..... make you a human again. ”
Nie Honglian puffed out her cheeks, curled her red lips and snorted, brushed her sleeves and turned around through the screen, leaving without looking back.
The scholar who was soaked in the bucket frowned suspiciously, and rubbed his arms and armpits in muttering.
"Where did I say the wrong thing? A woman's personality is really hard to fathom. ”
Half an hour later, after bathing and washing, he came out with a new outfit, the toad Taoist was already asleep, and Lu Liangsheng said to the red pity: "If Sun Yingxian comes to look for me, say that I will go to find my teacher." ”
The painting seems to be still angry, and there is a sullen sentence.
"Got it...... Son. ”
It's just gone.
Lu Liangsheng sighed, pushed the door and went out, in the afternoon, every house was basically closed, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets near the inner city, and no one could be found to ask for directions for a long time.
When Wang Shuhua left the book, the person had not left Fushui County, and the address was naturally not there.
"It would be nice to have a single hair......"
The wind blew, and the yellow leaves on the ground swept over the instep of the feet and drifted into the distance.
Turning a street, Lu Liangsheng saw a shop closing from a distance, and walked over quickly, but before he could speak, the other party's reaction was to shrink back suddenly, patting his chest and looking at the scholar in front of him.
"It's such a person, why don't you make a sound when you walk, it scares me to death. ”
Lu Liangsheng asked for help, and he didn't suffer a loss with a smiling face, so he said a word of reparation, and then asked about the direction of Shangshu Min Changwen's mansion.
"It turns out that asking for directions is really frightening to death, go forward from here, go east along the inner wall, and then go north on the first street, and go there to find it yourself. ”
The shopkeeper pointed in the direction, looked up at the sky, stepped into the shop, and slammed the door shut.
Lu Liangsheng walked along the inner city wall and walked through a street entrance, and most of the shops he met on the way chose to rest at this time, if they were placed in other counties, even if the market outside the city was still open to do business.
The people of this city seem to be pinching the hour.
...... It must have something to do with the monsters of the imperial court.
After thinking about it, the scholar followed the direction of the shopkeeper and came to the north of the inner city, where several long streets were spacious, which should belong to the royal streets where emperors, princes and nobles traveled.
There is a street not far away, compared to the street outside, here is clean and tidy, on both sides are mostly high-walled compounds, red lanterns are hung high, living here Guangfu, I'm afraid I don't even have qualifications.
"There are so many houses, looking for them one by one?"
Lu Liangsheng found that in the search for people, there was no other party, even if there was a spell, it was useless, and he would not jump to the city wall and shout the name of the teacher downward.
Knocked on a few courtyard doors, a gatehouse leaned out, probably glanced at Lu Liangsheng's dress, for the question asked, just shook his head, and touched the door, some directly asked for the name, not to find their own master, even the words were saved.
I walked a few more, and found out where the house of Min Changwen was, and I found that the Min Mansion and the surrounding houses were a little surprised, and the walls, houses, and even the courtyard doors looked quite old.
straightened his robe, knocked on the courtyard door, and a porter carefully opened a little doorway, Lu Liangsheng hurriedly reported his name, handed over the letter left by his previous teacher, and informed the other party of his intention.
The porter, who also knew a few words, lifted his face from the letter and looked at the scholar.
"This son, I'm afraid it's a little unfortunate, my lord hasn't come back yet, and my uncle is not in the house, so I went outside the city to find my old friend. ”
Lu Liangsheng frowned, thought about it, and asked:
"Then may I ask, when will my teacher come back?"
"It's hard to say, when Uncle Hua came back these days, it was dark, and dinner was eaten in the study. ”
"In this way, my teacher came back to inform him that Lu Liangsheng had come and lived in Yuelai Inn. ”
The porter nodded, wrote down the name and address, and then sent the scholar outside the eaves to see the sky.
"Childe, it's not early, hurry back to the inn, if you meet a monk's honor guard on the way, either kneel down and bow your head, or avoid it early, don't stand there stupidly. ”
Listening to the old man's advice, Lu Liangsheng nodded, turned around and thanked him.
"Thank you for reminding me, I just don't know ...... this team"
At this time, the faint sound of golden cymbals and gongs came from a distance, and the porter hurriedly said: "Son, go back early, remember what the old man said." ”
Legs and feet neatly returned to the courtyard door, closed the door, and there was a faint movement behind the door bolt.
Lu Liangsheng didn't pay too much attention to the concierge's actions, after all, the old man was only a concierge, and without the consent of the master, how could he dare to let someone into the house without permission.
"What is this team like..... can the people here be scared like this at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the government and His Majesty don't care?"
Curiosity is everyone's guess.
Lu Liangsheng boasted that he had seen a lot of battles, and his cultivation had also reached the foundation for a long time, even if there were demons who were invincible, it would be no problem to escape.
In an instant, a few steps and one by one, he jumped onto the wall of the nearby house, and ran wildly against the wall.
Boom ......
The masonry loosened, and at the end of the courtyard wall, the scholar's robes hunted, and with another leap, he landed steadily down the street, and in his eyes, a strange team of monks spread.
On both sides of the long street, the doors and windows of each house were closed, and some brave people looked out through the gaps and saw a scholar standing on the side of the road.
"Lady, come and see, there's a bold scholar there, ouch, he's standing like that!"
".....Then get out of the way and let the old lady see. ”
"It's scary, it's going to kill someone....."
On both sides of the street, there were also pedestrians who had no time to leave, looking at the ground with their eyes lowered, and couldn't help but persuade Lu Liangsheng, who was not far away.
"Scholar, get down on your knees. "yes, don't be presumptuous. ”
"If you collide with Lord Fajo, you will be imprisoned......"
Lu Liangsheng stood there without moving, his eyes fixed on the team that was gradually coming.
"Sure enough..... it's so heavy that it's demonic, I'm afraid that none of it is human......."
Ahead of the field of vision.
Countless white petals were thrown into the sky and fell to the ground, a pair of feet stepped on the petals, and the expressionless female monk in the black hat held up the magic weapon and the handle, and suddenly, the footsteps, the chanting of scriptures, golden cymbals, and the sound of gongs stopped abruptly.
Between the lines, figures stood in the middle of the street like wooden sculptures, showing a dead silence.
On the side, under Lu Liangsheng's cuffs, his fingers pinched out the magic trick, and his breath sank.
The pedestrian kneeling next to him didn't dare to come out, his face was covered with sweat, and he trembled and wanted to stay away from this stupid scholar, he had already persuaded him, but he didn't listen, and he deserved to lose his life.
As soon as the thought flashed, in the line in the street, suddenly a woman in a blue and blue checkered robe turned around, looked at Lu Liangsheng, held the orchid in her hand, and bowed slightly.
"Master Lu, the Dharma Master is invited. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, and followed the direction of the woman's finger, which was a red lacquered horizontal wooden sedan chair, which must have been specially prepared for him.
The other party not only knows me, but also knows that I have come to the capital......
However, since it is please, it means that there will be no danger.
Why not take a trip.
Lu Liangsheng calmed down, nodded at the woman, and strode over.
On both sides of the street, or behind the cracks in the windows upstairs, my heart was pounding wildly, and I couldn't believe it.
The scholar actually sat in the sedan chair in the Dharma Abbot's team.
The heart has a soul.
At the same time, on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn, the sleeping toad opened its eyes.
"What a cowardly little demon!!"
