Chapter 285: Chance Meeting
Oh..... Oh..... Oh oh oh~~
The sky was dark, the eastern sky clouds had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, the backyard of the inn resounded with the loud crowing of the rooster, and the vendors who went south and north to sell goods got up early, opened their voices and shouted at the store to serve food.
For a while, there were footsteps in the corridor on the second floor, the voices of people in the hall below, and the sound of kitchen knives chopping vegetables came from the backyard stove room.
In the midst of the bustle and noise, Lu Liangsheng was still a little tired and opened his eyes, his chest and abdomen were heavy, and when he looked closely, Mu Qi Youda Lama was lying on his chest, his small mouth still moved twice from time to time, and many roots around his body were weak to hang down.
Feeling that the mana consumed last night had returned to its usual state, he probably guessed that it was Qi You's use of demon power to help him nourish late at night, Lu Liangsheng glanced at the tree demon who was still asleep, and the toad Taoist who was snoring from one side of his belly fell together, and went down to the ground.
I clenched my fist hard, and there was a punch or two in the air, tsk, there was energy!
Lu Liangsheng gently moved the woman away, put it on the wooden pillow, covered the quilt for her, fetched water and washed up, went downstairs to buy three bowls of gruel, a few pieces of dough back, put it on the table and shouted to the side of the bed.
"Master, get up, it's time for us to hit the road!"
On the bed, the sleeping toad scratched his belly, kicked off the quilt and turned sideways to face in, and for a moment, he suddenly opened the toad's eyes, only to feel that his body was light, and he danced in mid-empty.
"Let it be a teacher~~"
Lu Liangsheng woke up the master in his hand, put it on the table, broke open a piece of cake and handed it over, "Hurry up early, Master may still have time to go back to the cave." ”
The toad holding half of the bread yawned, and when he woke up, he didn't feel sleepy, and he smacked his mouth, took a bite of the bread, and slowly squirmed his mouth.
"Just go, it doesn't matter if you're a teacher, just have something to eat. ”
Hmm~
As the master and apprentice were talking, Qi You on the other side of the bed also woke up, pinched his little fist and stretched his waist comfortably, the black tulle skirt outlined a slender curve, and a green silk draped across his shoulders, reflecting the sunlight shining in the window lattice, which was quite amazing.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, putting his feet on the ground, smelling the aroma of breakfast on the table, he ran over with a smile, and was about to grab it to eat, but was hit by Lu Liangsheng's chopsticks.
"Wash up!"
"Oh!"
Mu Qi's red lips curled slightly, and he spit out the tip of his tongue towards the toad Taoist who was there, and ran to the copper basin with a jump, the green silk stroked, and reached into the water to absorb half a basin of clear water, and a layer of mist suddenly flowed on his face, and then spit it out into the basin along the green silk, and the empty basin water slowly rose again.
"I'm done~"
The tree demon shook his head, no matter what Lu Liangsheng's eyes were, he sat aside, took the dough cake and soaked it in the porridge, his red lips opened, and he took a bite, and the water stains full of gruel spread out of the corners of his mouth.
followed Lu Liangsheng and Daoren, and often in the wilderness, there was no elegance in eating.
One person and two demons had a light breakfast, after retreating from the room, packed the bookshelf and bags, and went to the back buttocks of the old donkey, Lu Liangsheng walked through the long street with the reins, and went to the west gate of Chang'an.
Soon, out of the city gate, the Hu merchants from the west drove the camels, a fishy smell, and were loudly reprimanded by several Central Plains traders passing by, rushed to the side of the road, let them pass first, angrily scolded, shouted, and in the camel bell, Lu Liangsheng, who was dressed in green clothes and white robes, stopped on the official road.
The scholar glanced back, and Chang'an City, which was crowded with people, couldn't help but smile lightly, shook his head, and pulled the old donkey to the west again.
I didn't expect that there would be so many variables when I went out of this trip, and I was able to seal the demon spirit and become an official..... In fact, there are other reasons why Lu Liangsheng can agree.
His cultivation is a moral karma for the benefit of the common people.
If you can drive the power of the court and benefit the people of the world, it is not a good thing, but if you want to come, I am afraid that you will not be so happy in the future.
"Alas, suddenly I was a little envious of that guy Sun. ”
Boom!
Just as Lu Liangsheng finished saying this, the dirt next to the road in front of him suddenly broke open, revealing a face covered with mud and crumbs, and then broke through the ground and drilled out.
Belch......
Lu Liangsheng opened his mouth slightly, looking at the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks, and the Taoist covered in mud patted the dirt on his body, almost unable to speak.
"You've been there all along?"
"What, there is one thing that is very important in this way, or that I forgot to take what my master left me. Sun Yingxian wiped away the mud crumbs of Bazi Hushan, quickly passed the stunned scholar, squatted in front of the bookshelf behind the old donkey, and opened the compartment above, so that the toad, who heard the movement, poked its head out of the door from below.
"Haven't you returned to Qixia Mountain, why are you still there?"
The Taoist pressed the toad's head back, took out a booklet hidden under several academic books from the compartment, and patted it lightly.
"Thankfully, it's still there. ”
I don't know what Taoist has hidden there, but when he heard that it was a book, Lu Liangsheng became interested.
"What book?"
Over there, Sun Yingxian hurriedly put the book into his arms and turned his head: "You don't dare to be interested, okay, you are busy, this way will be ...... first"
As soon as he waved his hand and took two steps, before he finished speaking, he was hooked by Lu Liangsheng's neck and pulled back.
"I've come here, since I didn't go, then accompany me on a trip west, I found a fun place. ”
The Taoist was pulled by him, and his cultivation was not as high as the other party, and it was useless to struggle, and in the voice of the toad Dao's popularity, he looked at Lu Liangsheng suspiciously.
"You, Mr. Lu, will find something interesting? ”
"On the way to the west, there are a lot of new scenes, you might as well take a look, there are a lot of orchids on the road. ”
"What is so good-looking about a Hu woman, and her body hair and body odor are ....."
"It's exotic. ”
"Well, that's ..... Hey, wait, I haven't agreed to go with you yet. ”
......
As the autumn sun blows across the fields, the official road extends out of Gyeonggi to the west, and the mountains gradually become rugged and barren, revealing more and more wind-blown sand and strange rocks.
In the northwest, the vegetation is scarce, the grain production is not abundant, the folk customs raised are naturally strong, the villages are surrounded by the shape of the cottage, while resisting wild beasts, but also to prevent robbers and robbers, over the years, a small group of Turkic people have not come to fight the autumn wind, it is more bleak.
Among the mountains with sparse vegetation and forests, four figures with bookshelves on their backs climbed over the high ridges, wiped the sweat stains on their foreheads, looked into the distance, and what they could see was the endless loess mountains, and the wind and sand whimpered in the field of vision, feeling and so on, only desolation and barbarism.
"Okay now, now do you know where the county seat where we took office is?"
"Who is to blame if I say that you don't listen to a guide?" "Of course, blame Ma Liu, who told him that it is indispensable to guard against people, and if someone is assassinated on the way, not to mention, he will also replace the four of us as officials......"
"Why only blame me, Zhang Wei also nodded. ”
", I said don't leave at night, let's walk during the day, and we won't run into evil things again. ”
"It's insulting to Sven, you and I are both parents and officials, how can you say these things. As the eldest brother of the four, Wang Feng waved his hand to stop the dispute, looked around, and suddenly pointed ahead.
"There's a wood, go and rest. ”
"The woods, there won't be any beasts, right?" Zhao Fu suddenly slapped his head, and a smile appeared on his round face: "I think too much, this is the daytime ....."
"Then hurry over, it's a hot weather, rest your feet for a while, cook a meal, let's go on the road again, find someone to ask." ”
"Okay, listen to big brother!"
The other three responded in unison, tightened the rope on their shoulders, lifted the bookshelf, and trotted happily to the woods over there.
In the distance, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees, the light and dust fly, and the outline of a dilapidated building can be faintly seen, and not far away, there is a high mound of earth, like a large mound.
