Chapter 359: Bustling Xia Mountain
The autumn wind blows the leaves yellow, and they are sprinkled in the forest.
“...... The world is peaceful, our life is much better, the world is better, and there are many fewer robbers on the road, and your majesty is indeed much better than Emperor Chen of our previous dynasty. ”
"If you want me to say, how good it would have been to fight it earlier..... We're going to Lujia Village this time, and we're going to make a lot of money, so let's save our strength and hurry up. ”
In the past, Fushui County of the Chen Dynasty, it was the autumn fish fat, when they went to Lujia Village of Qixia Mountain to collect fish and grain, on the mountain road, the axle creaked and ran over the rugged road, and the traders drove the donkey to go all the way south through the winding mountain road.
Ding-woo ~~~
The bronze bell rings among the pedestrians and traders in the past, a person and a donkey are walking in a leisurely manner, the scholar's white robe is wrinkled, as if it has not been washed for a long time, and it is stained with a lot of mud, but the scholar doesn't seem to care too much, dangling the broken sleeves and sometimes sitting on the back of the old donkey, sometimes carrying a gourd to pour wine into his mouth, and there is a small scabbard hanging ornament around his waist, which looks quite leisurely.
The old donkey followed behind, flicking his bald tail to drive away flying insects, turning his tongue in his mouth, stretching his head to the weeds on the side of the road as he walked, chewing in his mouth, shaking the bookshelf on his back, and hanging a long sword.
Lu Liangsheng has been in the dust all the way, and the poor scholar who looks quite down-and-out is not so noticeable that the pig next to him is fat and stout, a lot taller than others, walking on the road, like standing out from the crowd, it is difficult not to pay attention first.
Watching the scholar and the black-haired man pass, a group of big men gossiped and whispered to each other.
"Where did you say this scholar came from and where is he going?"
"The ghost knows, seeing that he is dirty and old, his hair is dry and knotted, he must have walked a long way, and he didn't encounter the robbery, I'm afraid it's still the strong man next to him. ”
"Alas, it's pitiful, why don't we invite him along?"
"Go, it's easy to say. ”
At this time, the down-and-out scholar who walked in front seemed to hear a few people talking, turned around, and smiled at them, so that several men who sold fish simply shut up and waited for the other party to go away before re-speaking.
“...... This scholar still laughed, I'm afraid he is not sick. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I see him like this, and he can show people with courtesy, it's not easy. ”
"Forget it, brothers, don't talk about trusting people, it's almost time to Lujia Village in front, let's go to Honglian Temple to worship first, and ask for a good fortune!"
"Ouch, finally said something useful. ”
A few people drove the donkey cart halfway through, and suddenly a voice whispered: "Hey, where is the scholar?"
The other four looked ahead, and indeed found that the scholar and the black man who walked in front of them, as well as the old donkey, were gone.
"Maybe I got to the corner in front of me, and it was blocked by rocks and trees. ”
In the distance, they could still hear the faint sound of copper bells, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they had hit a ghost in broad daylight.
Ding ding~~~
Lu Liangsheng called the old donkey, held the reins, and looked at the halfway up the mountain in front of him, the pine forest was luxuriant, and the clouds and smoke rose up the tree cage, and there were many pilgrims coming and going on the stone steps below, leaving by carriage, or just here.
The sun is shining, the mountain breeze is blowing, the forest is undulating and caressing, the red temple between the bustling crowds, the red walls and black tiles, there are traces of rain and frost and wind, and there are dead leaves on the tiles.
Lu Liangsheng pulled the old donkey up the stone steps, looking at the prosperity of this incense, and the tired face showed a smile.
Fortunately, many things were sat down at the beginning, and they didn't drag it out until this time, otherwise I am afraid that there would never be another chance. ’
Looking at the temple surrounded by incense, he was slightly distracted, and the pig on the side plucked his nostrils, looked around, and said in a loud voice:
"This Qixia Mountain aura, popularity is really strong, heaven and earth, the world has two qi, not bad, it seems that you thought a lot at the beginning, people with a belly full of books, just different, people who live here, it is difficult to live a long life, it took a lot of thought, right?"
"It's nothing to go through the effort. ”
Lu Liangsheng came back to his senses, continued to walk towards the temple in front, thought about it, and said with a smile: "...... After all, this is my home, and my roots are here. ”
In the past of the Red Mercy Temple, the pilgrims who came in and out saw the scholar's clothes, covered their mouths and noses to avoid going away, Lu Liangsheng lowered his head and raised his sleeves to smell it, and smiled dumbly.
"It's really delicious. ”
In the past, even if you don't take a bath for a few months, there will be no smell on your body, on the contrary, there is also the faint fragrance of the pot of soup that the master washed at the beginning.
"Why don't you remind me that I have a smell?"
Pig Gang stared wide-eyed, sniffed carefully, and spread his hands.
"I'm a demon, I smell all over my body, where can I smell you. ”
Saying that, he pushed the scholar: "Hurry up, I want to see what you look like." ”
Lu Liangsheng slapped his hand back, looked in the direction of the temple, and frowned slightly.
"She should be out. ”
This is not a lie, with Honglian's current incense Shinto cultivation, it is not difficult to sense the demonic aura of the pig and the toad Daoist, not to mention that it is so close to the temple.
Not far from the temple gate, pilgrims entered, the old woman carrying a basket lit incense and candles, inserted the stove, knelt down to the futon with folded hands, and silently prayed to the idol above.
When I kowtowed to one end, the divine light that ordinary people could not see flashed away in the clay sculpture, turned into a slender figure, twisted the skirt, and floated to the temple gate.
'Where did the demonic spirit come from? ’
The thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and when she walked to the eaves, the woman looked in the direction of the demonic spirit, a person and a donkey were coming over this side, seeing the appearance clearly, the slightly frowning thin eyebrows stretched out, the cheeks showed a pear vortex, and the skirt was lifted lightly and quickly went down the stone steps to meet it.
"Childe!"
The sun shone down, and the scholar who came didn't seem to hear someone calling him, and looked around in the crowd looking for something, but the pig Gangguan next to him saw the woman's spirit coming over, sucked a mouthful of saliva, and pressed the scholar's back with his elbow.
"What else are you looking for, aren't you coming? Over there, get over there!"
"Where?"
Lu Liangsheng followed the direction he pointed to, there was nothing, and suddenly patted his head, remembering that he was no longer a cultivator, and his mana was completely lost, so he naturally couldn't see the red mercy in the state of the divine soul.
Nie Honglian, who came over, also noticed that the scholar's cultivation was gone, his face changed, he exerted his mana, and went back around with his long sleeves.
The noisy voice in the scholar's ears was instantly quiet, and a woman in a white dress under her eyes rushed in front of her, hugging his shoulders and neck tightly, and a faint fragrance and sandalwood entered her nose.
Feeling the real feeling hanging on his body, Lu Liangsheng gently patted her back, and saw that the pig demon next to him had his eyes bulging unblinking, staring carefully.
With a dry cough, he pulled Hong Lian out of his arms.
"Red mercy, come down first..... There are still people watching. ”
