Chapter 365: Retreat
Click..... Click.....
Click.....
The sound of raindrops was ticking down, in the small courtyard in the rain, Lu Laoshi sat under the eaves and polished the hoe, in the attic, the pig just came back and lifted some small pants, revealing half of his buttocks, and ran to the room with the Taoist, looked back to see that Lu Xiaoxian was not there, kicked out the hen who wanted to follow into the house, and quietly closed the door.
Outside, the drizzle slid through the eaves and weaved a curtain of water, and the water tank standing by the well rippled in circles.
On the open window lattice opposite, the toad felt the coolness of the water vapor, wrapped in the sheets and turned over, pouted and lay on the couch, yawned, smacked his lips, and continued to snore.
Lu Liangsheng sat at the table, holding the scroll and savoring the content of the teacher's annotations inside, occasionally reaching out to take a sip of the hot tea next to him.
Without cultivation, as a national teacher, you can only rely on erudition, whether it is the magic books on the Tao, or the moral articles on learning, and the study of things that benefit the country and the people, there are all in the house, and if you really want to use it then, you can only rely on your head and a mouth.
Wow~
Turning a page with his fingertips, Lu Liangsheng looked at the vertical handwriting on it, heard the sound of turning on the bed, and tilted his face slightly.
"Master, woke up?"
"Woo!"
The toad Taoist sat up and stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, hung his flippers outside the couch, looked a little confused, and replied casually: "Hmm." ”
Sitting there in a daze, looking at the back of the book, it took a while to come back to my senses.
"Liangsheng, the teacher decided to go to the cave to retreat and repair his injuries as soon as possible. ”
"In such a hurry?"
"There's no hurry, it's been a few years since I've been here!!"
Hearing Master's somewhat anxious tone, Lu Liangsheng put down the book, sat on the stool and turned around, looking at the master's expression that did not look like a fake, and frowned slightly.
"Master is worried, those big sects are still coming to find trouble?"
Over there, the toad nodded, stood up on the edge of the bed, and slowly walked two steps with the frog flippers on his shoulder.
"Naturally, the old Taoist priest of Chengyunmen said that day that it was only temporary, and he would definitely come back later, by the way, what emperor Liangsheng promised to be the national teacher, and he also planned for this matter, right?"
Seeing that the master broke it, Lu Liangsheng also knew that he couldn't hide it, nodded, sat back at the table and looked at the rain curtains intertwined outside the window, the water tank in the courtyard, and the old trees.
"Liangsheng just wants to borrow the dynasty to reject them, after all, what happened back then, the master did a little too much. ”
On the bed, the toad Taoist walked around on the futon, heard the words of the apprentice, picked up the flippers, stared at the toad's eyes, flashed ferociousness, thought that the opposite was the apprentice, turned his face away, and snorted.
"When I was a teacher, I had just transformed into a teacher, and I was still at the age of blood-rushing, and when I saw your teacher being killed, I was furious, and I was angry, calling for wind and rain, it was lightning and thunder, and purple air came from the east..... Then, there was revenge. ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Hong Lian walked under the eaves with two bowls of hot soup, heard the conversation between the master and apprentice in the house, and came in to put the soup on the table.
"Childe, Master Toad, what are you talking about, what are you talking about so vigorously?"
"The old man is blowing..... When reminiscing about the past peaks!"
The toad patted his belly and signaled that there was still a demon pill in his belly: "The old man decided to concentrate on recovering from his injuries and returning to the top ......"
As he spoke, he probed and sniffed deeply.
“..... What a soup, so fragrant. ”
climbed onto the table, asked the little female ghost to hand him a spoon with a spread of frog webs, scooped a spoonful and blew hot air, took a sip lightly, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Boiled with black plum, there are red date powder, wolfberry ..... in it" Honglian Rushu folded her fingers and said what was added to it one by one: "After boiling, when it is warm, a small spoon of rice wine is added, and I learned from my aunt, how is it delicious?"
Lu Liangsheng took a sip, sweet and sour, after the aftertaste, there was still a little bit of mellow aroma of rice wine that was not destroyed, in the afterglow, under the eaves on the other side, the tree demon was pulling his mother as if asking for something, and then looked down at the bowl in his hand, and suddenly felt a little big.
Quickly diverted the conversation and said, "Just now the master said that he wanted to retreat, but because of the grievances back then, he was afraid of coming to the door. ”
After coming back, Lu Liangsheng found a time and told Hong Lian and Mu Qiyou about the beginning and end of his loss of cultivation, and as for the Taoist, he already knew it from Zhu Gangguan's mouth.
At that time, he shouted that he wanted to find Qiu back for Lu Liangsheng, but when he heard the word Chengyunmen, he immediately kept silent, thinking that what he had learned was related to the carrier door.
In the house, Nie Honglian knew that once those sect factions came over, it would indeed be a difficult thing to do, with her current Taoism, it was not bad to be able to recover her physical body, if she used more mana in this matter, I was afraid that when she recovered her body, I don't know what year and month it would be.
pursed his lips and muttered a word.
"So they'll find ......"
Over there, Lu Liangsheng smiled, took another sip of the mixed soup boiled by black plums, turned the pages of the book, and said, "How do you know that when you get off the mountain, you will meet them before you enter the city." ”
However, when he said this, the scholar's smile froze, and he looked at the content on the paper, but he couldn't read it, and his brain buzzed.
When I think of Lishan, the words of the old mother echo in my mind.
'Woe amphibious, this way to encounter difficulties, still remember the original intention, only to gain, good life with the mountains and seas, do not bear the predecessors to plant trees, turn cause and effect. ’
Lishan's mother can know the future..... Lu Liangsheng had guessed before, but now he chewed on what she said repeatedly, and slowly tasted something different.
Woe Amphibious ..... The calamity that refers to me and Master is not amphibious?
...... On the way back to Chang'an, I met Chengyun's various doors, which was a difficult road, and I still remembered that I had to get the original intention, and my mother saw the choices I hadn't made at the beginning......
The mountains and seas behind there are boundless...... What does it mean to reincarnate cause and effect by planting trees before our predecessors?'
Good life with mountains and seas?!
.....
On the side, Hong Lian was still talking, but Lu Liangsheng didn't listen to it at all, turned around and took out a wide book from under the pile of books and put it in front of him, pulled out a long picture page and stared at the landscape above.
"Childe, what's wrong with you?"
Hong Lian approached and looked at the painting that the scholar was staring at, except for the undulating mountains and rivers and white clouds, it was no different from the past.
"There's no change on it, huh?"
"Yes..... there is no change"
Lu Liangsheng looked at it for a while, but the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a smile, and soon, in the sight of the toad Taoist who was sitting on the table holding a bowl and drinking soup, the scholar walked to the bookshelf, took out the easel that had not been used for a long time, and propped it up in the room.
Seeing the son who was about to start painting again, Nie Honglian chuckled and floated over to help polish the ink.
"Childe, what are you trying to draw here?"
"Mountains and Seas ....."
Lu Liangsheng spread out a blank scroll, took the cover of the pen, dipped it in ink, dropped the white paper, and slowly sketched it.
Even if he doesn't have mana now, he doesn't have the impression of his own painting.
The tip of the pen dragged the ink away, drawing the green ink like smoke, the water waves rolling, in the green smoke, drawing the cliff hanging wall river waves, beating the reef, there are tortoise shells lying on it, the limbs are dark red, the head of the long-necked bird, and the neck is singing.
According to the memory, after the tip of the pen fell off the armor, a long snake coiled on the tortoise shell with its tail hooked, as if it resonated with birds and beasts.
"Is this a turtle?" Nie Honglian stared at the strange-looking thing on it suspiciously, and there was always an uncomfortable feeling when stared at by it.
Lu Liangsheng smiled, and with the name recorded in the book in his memory, he drew a corner and dropped the word "Xuan Turtle".
Subconsciously wanted to serve the bowl and spray a mouthful of mist, only to remember that he had no mana and couldn't use illusions.
Looking at the turtle drawn above, still motionless, for a while, Lu Liang put away his pen in frustration and put it on the desk.
"Looks like I'm overthinking. ”
"Naturally, you think too much, if you can resume cultivation casually, how can those cultivators easily let you and my master and apprentice leave!"
The toad man muttered, picked up the bowl, and gulped down the last bit of soup.
Ton!
Ton!
Ton!
Hiccup –
Comfortably burped, then he waved his frog flippers happily, jumped off the table, fell, got up carelessly, went to the bottom of the bed, and in a moment, dragged out a big burden across his body.
"Let's go, send the teacher up the mountain for retreat!"
"Now?" Lu Liangsheng was a little surprised.
"Not now, do you want to wait until next spring?" The toad Taoist carried the package on his back, dragged the black-veined gourd, walked to the door step by step, and turned around: "Don't delay, otherwise you will go to Beijing next year, and you won't be able to get out of the ..... as a teacher."
Lu Liangsheng sighed, didn't put away the easel, took a paper umbrella, walked outside to stretch it out, put the master on his shoulder, looked at the heavy burden in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Master, what's in here?"
"Eat...... Well, the elixir needed to repair the injuries of the division. ”
The toad Taoist hurriedly waved away the baby's web, and quickly brought out the afterimage.
"Don't look, it's not your share!"
"Okay, don't look at it!"
Lu Liangsheng smiled, turned his head and shouted into the courtyard: "Come out." ”
Standing in the rain with a paper umbrella, I saw the Taoist, the pig Gangguan, and the wood-dwelling poking their heads out, only to know that the toad Taoist was going to the mountain for retreat, and they coaxed them to see them off together.
After all, we may not see each other again for several months.
Leaving the small courtyard together in a noisy room, in the sound of the rain, in the quiet room, on the easel, a wisp of green air floated out, swirled a few times in mid-air, and did not enter the "Boundless Mountains and Seas" spread out on the table.
At the same time, Lu Liangsheng, who walked out of the village with everyone, felt a little itchy on his back.....
