The leaves of the sycamore tree rustled and swayed, Lu Liangsheng dropped the dead leaves in his hand, arched his hand towards the old man in front of him, and bowed deeply.

"Liangsheng has seen his teacher. ”

"What are you doing with all that courtesy, come and sit down. ”

Wang Shuhua got up and supported Lu Liangsheng, looked up and down for a moment, his hair relaxed, nodded with a smile, and said a few times

"Good good ....."

Lu Liangsheng was a little embarrassed, put the gift on the table, and sat down on a stone bench next to him, the old man in front of him was a little less energetic than a few months ago.

On the stone table, there is a copy of "Fei Cui Annotation", which was originally on Zhou Yao's house, Lu Liangsheng also read part of it, originally three books, one "Guangnan Travel", two "Lingsan", and the third book called "Lu Shi" are all written by the sages.

"The teacher is also reading this book?"

Unable to find a topic for a while, Lu Liangsheng first took the book on the table and opened his head.

The old man opposite poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and said with a smile:

"I originally planned to go out of the city, but I came back last night and heard that Steward Li said that you came to the capital, so I put aside the matter of going out of the city for the time being, and waited for you, so I turned it out and took a look. ”

The words stopped, Wang Shuhua put down the purple clay pot, shook his cuffs, and arched his hand: "The teacher hasn't congratulated Liangsheng yet." ”

"Teacher!"

Lu Liangsheng hurriedly got up and staggered, waved his hand and said, "How can this be done?!"

"Sit down, sit down, why are you standing up again, although you and I are teachers and students, don't be too restrained. The old man waved the scholar back to sit down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I thought that you would only go to Tianzhi in the winter moon, but I couldn't think of ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Shuhua blinked, and suddenly looked at the scholar with a smile: "Liangsheng, are you rushing with a spell?"

Lu Liangsheng also laughed.

"The student did use spells, but the road was uneven halfway, and he saved two men and a woman, and a child, so he didn't use spells again, and he went all the way. ”

For the teacher in front of him, he didn't want to hide anything, not to mention that this kind of thing was not an unsightly thing, and the old man over there laughed out loud when he touched his chin and white beard.

"Hahaha!!"

Then, he nodded and looked at the scholar.

"Good, my generation of scholars, following the learning of the saints, should also have the heart of helping the world and saving people, you are doing the right thing. ”

"That child, surnamed Chen, has a single name and a Jing character, after coming to the capital, there are a few mysterious people who answer, does the teacher know which one in the city?"

Lu Liangsheng had a smile on his face, poured a little hot tea for his teacher, and said that he also wanted to know who he was saving.

"Surname Chen?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile: "I don't know about the teacher, but if I want to kill a child, I think it is also related to seizing the heir and fighting for the position." ”

The smile retracted, and the tone became serious:

"Liangsheng, you have a reputation now, don't get mixed in, the teacher now hopes that you will come later, or leave now, this capital is not peaceful, as I expected before I came. ”

"Is it because of the protector of the country?" Lu Liangsheng's smile decreased.

The old man was stunned for a moment: "You also know?"

"Hmm. ”

The scholar replied softly, but he was hesitating whether to tell the old man in front of him the true identity of Pudu Cihang, after all, whether to say it or not to say it will have a completely different result.

With the character of his mentor, if he reveals the identity of the Dharma Demon in front of everyone, I am afraid that he will not only die......

....... Pudu Cihang cultivated with the help of the royal dragon qi, but there was still time to slowly figure it out.

In the small courtyard, the old and the young were silent, the morning breeze blew the sycamores, and the fallen leaves sprinkled all over the ground, covering the moss on the ground.

Listening to the rustle of fallen leaves, after a long time, the old man opened his mouth first, broke the silence, slapped his knees, and scolded.

"This demon monk bewitched the king, so that the court was not at peace, and in the capital, the people were panicked and uneasy, and they built a large number of buildings to build the altar, which is really damned!!"

He cursed again and got up from the stone bench.

"When the teacher left Beijing, the rule of heaven was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but I didn't expect to see this when I came back!

Lu Liangsheng frowned, got up and walked over: "The teacher and Min Shangshu returned to Beijing this time just to deal with the Fazhang?"

"Not exactly. The old man let out a breath and waved his hand: "..... these things, don't worry about Liangsheng, you just need to concentrate on your studies and take the exam this time, okay, go back and pack up, leave early, and come back in January next year, anyway, you also have spells, you should be able to catch up." ”

Hearing this, Lu Liangsheng was faintly worried in his heart.

"Teacher, it's better to ...... Come with me, I also want to go to the northwest, where the drought has been going on for almost a year.....

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shuhua turned his face sideways and waved his hand, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I can't go with you as a teacher. ”

Lu Liangsheng was also a little anxious: "Why?"

The old man shook his head, took two steps with his hands in his hands, and looked at the courtyard outside the crescent gate in the side courtyard.

"For the teacher's life, he has established a name for himself with his knowledge, and he has known Min Shangshu for many years, and has the same interests, he is now mired in this quagmire, how can I get out of it?

"Good life...... The writings of the sages not only stand up for themselves, but also set an example for others, if they can't do anything, they will withdraw and go to live happily, everyone learns like this, then there is a family and a country to speak of? Can there be trust from relatives and friends? Therefore, this time the demon monk is in trouble, and the teacher cannot go, and the good life does not have to worry, how can there be a few generations in the past dynasties who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and sooner or later they will be cleaned up. ”

The morning light shone through the gap in the trees and fell on the old man's silver hair, and his old body turned around, still smiling.

"Just now you talked about the northwest, there is a real need for people over there, you can go in the past, far away from here, you don't need to get involved, you can also experience it over there, wait until the spring of next year, pass the Ministry of Rites exam, it is considered to really step into the official career, and at that time, you will have the idea of helping as a teacher. ”

Alas.....

Lu Liangsheng sighed in his heart, in the face of his knowledgeable and experienced teacher, he couldn't shake, hesitated for a moment, and had to sigh, said some words with the old man in the small courtyard, and then got up to say goodbye.

"Originally, the letter said that I would give you the wind and dust, but unfortunately I can't, and after the spring is over, I will make up for the good life!"

The teacher smiled. ”

Soon, Lu Liangsheng left from the side courtyard, the small courtyard was quiet, Wang Shuhua returned to the tree, someone came out of the house, sat next to him, and looked at the empty crescent moon door together.

It was Min Changwen who was supposed to go to the early dynasty.

"He is so blessed to have such a teacher. ”

The old man didn't speak, just smiled, raised the teacup and took a sip.

.......

Out of Shangshu Mansion, Lu Liangsheng rubbed his cheeks, glanced back, and left quickly.

Passing through the deserted street, back to the inn, the shopkeeper came to greet him politely, but was politely rejected by the scholar who was not in a good mood, and returned to the room on the second floor, where the Taoist sat at the round table, holding the Yuehao Sword and touching and looking.

The toad sat in front of the small wardrobe and picked and chosen, with a stack of small clothes piled up next to it, and from time to time asked the female ghost Honglian to help see which one fit.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked back and saw that Lu Liangsheng had already laid down on the bed with the back of his head on his pillow.

The three of them looked at each other.

Without waiting for them to ask, he looked at the scholar on the top of the bed and blinked, suddenly sat up, and looked at Toad, Sun Yingxian, and Nie Honglian.

"Pack your bags and let's go to the northwest. ”
