Chapter 600: The Toad's Strange Dream
The sun rises through the clouds, along the foothills, rivers, and fields, inch by inch to the city walls, sprinkled with sparkling hibiscus ponds, and ducks flap their wings and ripple.
Wanshouguan, Huha's screams sounded, and eight shirtless men punched with tigers and tigers.
The morning sun pushed into the open window lattice of the attic, the candlestick on the desk hung with residual wax, the burned wick slowly rose a wisp of green smoke, the creeping toad turned over, rubbed his eyes and sat up, looked at the empty room, his eyes turned to the desk, the scholar was putting down the brush, stretching his muscles, and stretching comfortably.
"Liangsheng, what about the old pig and the monkey?" The toad man stood up, twisted his waist, jumped to the desk and grabbed the edge of the table, his flippers hanging out and kicked a few times and climbed up, and sat on the windowsill to face the sun and coiled into a lump, basking in the dense lumps behind his back.
Dust flying.
Lu Liangsheng yawned, picked up the paper full of handwriting a little tiredly, and blew some ink stains on it that had not yet dried, "Before dawn, the old pig went back to the restaurant in the West City to continue to be a cook, and the great sage's mana was exhausted, and he turned back into a hairy ......."
Finger tapped next to the inkstone, and a golden monkey hair lay quietly in the sun.
"I didn't say hello to the old man when I left..... Ahh
As he spoke, the toad Taoist yawned, and glanced at what the apprentice had written, "Liangsheng, what is this written? ”
"A number of statutes have been signed. ”
Lu Liangsheng shook the piece of paper, which was all conceived last night in the past two years, about the Jing Demon Division, the receiver only looked at virtue and did not look at whether he had the qualifications of cultivation, and passed on the means and skills of subduing demons and eliminating demons, as well as knowledge, and in the future, this group of people will be passed on to more ordinary people, which should be able to deal with the demon star fragments scattered all over Kyushu.
"Actually, it's mainly about accepting people..... Spells, with me and Sun Yingxian, no matter how bad it is, Yan Chixia can also be pulled in, and more or less can summarize the spells available to them. ”
The toad Taoist listened to the apprentice's story, sat up, leaned against the window frame and nodded: "Well, there are a lot of spells for the teacher, but the best thing is to accept people, it's better to ........"
"Master, accept ordinary people into the concept of longevity, or leave it to the government to do it, it is better for you to be a master in peace and stability. Lu Liangsheng saw that the toad was interested, and even if he was calm, he couldn't help but hurriedly interrupt, "People who have income from the longevity view, it is best to be an orphan, in this way, it can be regarded as solving some resettlement problems for the government, and secondly, these people can be distracted in their cultivation." ”
Scholars have their own considerations, there must be many orphans around Kyushu, these people are often either working for large families, or as slaves and servants, miserable, may not survive and crown buried in the mound into white bones, if through the government first adopt a group of Taoist techniques, life ability, to grow up to stay in a part, the rest of the outside, so that the matter of subduing demons and eliminating demons, is no longer simply solved by cultivators.
"But in this case, the cost will be great, and the emperor will build the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south, support the army, and stabilize the security of the states......."
Over there, the old toad watched the apprentice holding the piece of paper and fell into thought, sighed and lay back on his stomach, turned his face to the sun outside the window, smacked his lips comfortably, and fell asleep in the morning sun.
The old man recovers the demon pill, but there is still nothing to do...... It's so peaceful.
The cicadas hissed under the mottled shade of the trees, and in the drowsy dream, the scenery that had galloped back then seemed to come back again, and the expressions of countless chasing monks who were timid and weak in front of him did not dare to take a step forward, and his limbs couldn't help twitching and shaking a few times.
And then..... The dream turned into countless fragments, and the magic weapon that covered the sky and the sun turned into a pitch-black banner, and the cultivators who chased him were armored one by one, holding Changge and swarming towards him.
"Uh-"
The toad Taoist screamed suddenly, jumped up on the spot, fell back and sat on the windowsill, and instinctively wiped off the toad's face, "I'm scared to death of the old man." ”
At the desk over there, Lu Liangsheng's voice came: "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. ”
The toad Taoist turned around, looked at the eight people who were still exercising under the scorching sun outside, and scratched his buttocks casually, "The teacher was bitten by an insect, and it's fine." ”
He muttered something, and his drowsiness was gone, and he coiled back again, looking at the bright sunshine outside, caressing the woods, and thinking about the dream just now.
...... What kind of dream did the old man have.
In the window, Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting at the desk, put away the paper and folded it, and put it in a book, and the things he was thinking about just now also had a little eyebrows, and saw the master sitting on the windowsill in a daze, got up and went to the bookshelf, took out "The Boundless Mountains and Seas", and shook the seal downward.
A black shadow fell to the ground, with long hair and purple pockets, and two white long legs lying on the floor on her side, feeling the surrounding furnishings, the woman got up from the ground at once, saw the scholar standing in front of her, and bowed her head respectfully.
"Zhu Erniang has seen Mr. ”
"I've called you out for something and wants you to help. ”
"Sir, please..... Say. ”
"Can weave cloth, right?" Lu Liangsheng looked her up and down a few times, the adoption of orphans that he thought of before, in terms of food and clothing, he still tried not to increase the burden on the imperial court, Zhu Erniang is just a spider, and weaving webs and weaving cloth are probably the same, as for eating, well, isn't the old pig the chef's material...... Master also became.
"Weaving ..... Weaver, sir, this is asking me?"
Zhu Erniang was a little stunned, slowly raised her hand, and pointed at herself in disbelief, thinking that the scholar in front of her was letting herself out because of other needs, but she didn't expect it to be this, and even looked down at the long legs covered by her chest with some suspicion.
Lu Liangsheng didn't think much about her, and estimated the time, and he had to go to the West Market to talk to the old pig about it.
"Will it or won't? I'll go find Pig Gang in a minute. ”
As soon as she heard the word 'pig', Zhu Erniang's face changed wildly, and she reached out and grabbed Lu Liangsheng's sleeve in a bit of a panic, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the concubine's body can not only weave cloth, but also spin silk..... The kind that is difficult to break with ordinary swords, just don't let the concubine and the wild boar collide. ”
How did this old pig scare her like this?
Everything has a beginning, Lu Liangsheng also has a purpose, and placed a bedroom and a weaving room for Zhu Erniang under the attic, so he took Honglian to the street together, found the restaurant where he ate last night, and found Zhu Gangguan who was cooking a pot of stew in the back kitchen and told him what happened.
The old pig put down the kitchen knife and wiped his greasy hands on the apron, "Three meals a day, my old pig is no problem, as long as the ingredients are enough, okay, the kitchen is heavy, you go out first, the work is over, I will come back and discuss the details with you." ”
probably didn't want Lu Liangsheng and Hong Lian to see him cooking, so he blasted the two scholars out, and when they returned to the street, Lu Liangsheng simply pulled Hong Lian around, picked out some things that girls liked, and bought one for Qi You by the way.
When it was almost noon, in the distance, I heard the desolate horn of the bull horn sounding on the side of the imperial city, and the four gates of Chang'an faintly and rhythmically beating the drums.
Knock! Knock!
On the long street, many people stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong?" "Is there an enemy attacking the city?! Go back and see!"
The people gathered in twos and threes exchanged their heads, and Hong Lian felt the evil spirit in the drums, and pulled the scholar's hand next to him tight.
"Childe, what's wrong?"
Lu Liangsheng comforted her: "It's okay." Under the slight frown, his eyes were locked, looking in the direction of the imperial city, remembering what the emperor said last night, it seemed that his heart was very urgent.
"It's a wartime drum...... Soon there will be a war. ”
