Chapter 73 Persuasion
The big red lantern shook gently in the night wind. In the shaking light, Lu Liangsheng and Taoist walked out of the gate of the Zhang Mansion together and walked side by side in the streets of the late night.
Bangbang...
Wow wool wool wool....
In the quiet streets and alleys, there were more sounds from afar, and dog barking came. Lu Liangsheng looked at the stars and moons that had already disappeared into the clouds, remembering the scene from Zhang's mansion just now, and sighed.
"Even if the fox demon has half his life to fill Zhang Liancheng's body, he does not have the physique to practice. If the fox demon's cultivation disperses, I'm afraid he can only live a few more years."
Sun Yingxian laughed dryly and said, "That was his own fault." Then he calmed down.
The Taoist looked straight at the street in front, and after a while, he spoke again.
"If the fox demon named Rouge didn't stand up just now, would you really lose your cultivation?"
"I knew you were going to ask that."
Lu Liangsheng smiled, looked ahead, with his hands in his arms, and walked very lightly: "... Actually, I don't know if I would do that. At the beginning, I wanted to provoke the fox demon. Since she dared to take the risk to come to Zhou's mansion for help, it should be affectionate and righteous..."
The wind blew across the streets, and the long hair hanging on her shoulders was blown and shook gently.
The scholar said calmly and shook his head.
"... But if I don't stand up, maybe I will save Zhang Liancheng. If I don't know that this is okay, I will put it in front of me, and remain indifferent, and I feel a little embarrassed in my conscience."
On the side, Sun Yingxian rubbed his face hard and turned his head to look at him.
"Sure enough, your master is right. You are just a bad person, but..."
The Taoist reached out to hook the scholar's shoulder and laughed: "But it's worth having a deep friendship."
The two of them hugged each other, chatting while walking, burst into laughter from time to time, and soon walked across the long street outside the Zhang Mansion. The barking of dogs did not stop, and they still barked wildly in the distance of the city.
tread….
Step by step….
Lu Liangsheng frowned, stopped talking, and looked at the street in front of him. The sound of horse hooves accompanied by a figure riding a horse rushing into the thin mist in the corridor.
"It seems that the left captain is back after chasing the two fox demons. I wonder if there are any results."
"There is no evil spirit, it seems that the two foxes have not been killed."
In his words, Sun Yingxian took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it into the air, igniting the flames, illuminating the people coming.
Sure enough, it was Zuo Zhengyang who rode over. He stopped when he tied the reins. He looked at the two people in front of him and bowed: "It seems that Zuo missed the good show of eliminating monsters."
As the four long swords shook, the left captain turned over, led the horse and walked side by side with Lu Liangsheng, and shook the fox tail in his hand.
"I only had time to cut off one tail, but the two fox demons ran fast, and ordinary horses couldn't catch up with them."
The Taoist who was leaning against the street spat on the ground.
"Nonsense, do you think it's so easy to chase me, so you can ride a horse and chase a mountain?"
Still remembering that thing... Lu Liangsheng couldn't help laughing. He walked through a fork, and there were still people from far and near. The stall was still on another street late at night, steaming and the fragrance came.
"Prince Left, why not have a midnight snack together."
Zuo Zhengyang touched his stomach: "I'm indeed a little hungry." Then he made a gesture of asking for help.
The three of them came to one of the noodle stalls. There were many people eating midnight snacks here. A few short stools and small tables were almost done. The three of them picked up the corner and sat down.
The stall was an old man busy picking up the noodles in the pot and looking at them with his face.
"Three, the old man only has pasta...Oh, isn't this the usual arrest of the adults? Or is it the same?"
Zuo Zhengyang nodded and responded, "Okay!"
When I turned back, I saw the scholars and Taoist priests next to me, and smiled and said, "Sometimes, I will come out to eat some food until late at night, otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep. I have been here a few times and I will naturally become familiar with this restaurant. By the way, this noodles with scallion pancake tastes good. I recommend you two to try it."
"Okay, that's the same as you!" Sun Yingxian was not polite and waved to the old man.
Lu Liangsheng was not picky about it, so he ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles, but he cooked two more bowls and was about to take them away before leaving.
In public, the three of them would not talk loudly about the fox demon, but when it comes to Lu Liangsheng almost losing his cultivation to save Zhang Liancheng, Zuo Zhengyang also felt that it was inappropriate.
"Life and death are life, let alone caused by him. Why do you have to take care of it? Besides, how many people in the world can you save it?"
Over there, the old man brought the face over and put it on the table.
"Three people use it slowly."
When the old man walked away, Lu Liangsheng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cluster of faces and blew the heat.
"That's why I want to take the exam. To save people, one is to save, and tens of thousands are also to save."
Hululu sucked the noodles into his mouth, and Zuo Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head at the scholar.
"You are afraid you want to be a saint... Don't read too many books of sages, your mind will be broken!"
Sun Yingxian also raised his face and nodded in agreement.
"This time I stand on the left captain's side. Your mentor is knowledgeable and has a lot of great principles. If everyone is like him, no evil people or no one, wouldn't this world become a piece of white paper?"
"My teacher can't teach some principles of being a human being, and it's not as exaggerated as you said."
Lu Liangsheng was not angry. He also knew his personality. Over the years, he became more and more gentle in his studies. However, it was not a bad thing, at least he was satisfied.
As for the examination and official position, I also hope to govern the country in the future so that more poor families can become richer year by year like Lujia Village, without having to live a hungry and full life.
Soon, after the midnight snack and when the payment was paid, the old man refused to accept the three of them, and Zuo Zhengyang did not let Lu Liangsheng pay.
"What are you fighting for? I'll check out later and take the two packed noodles and go back quickly, otherwise the road will be cold."
"That's OK."
Lu Liangsheng no longer argued, picked up two bowls of noodles wrapped in oil cloth, and started to move with the Taoist to the streets of Zhoufu.
As soon as the two of them left, Zuo Zhengyang took out his money bag, and there were not many fragments inside.
"Old man Chen, five bowls of noodles, how much?"
"Forget it, forget it, the general arrester helped the old man last time, so I don't need to..."
When the old man said this, he suddenly said "huh" and quickly picked up a piece of silver from the soup pot, rubbed it, and looked at the headmaster opposite him.
"One or two, the general arrest, will you two friends..."
He looked at the two people who had just left, and quickly ran out of the stall. In front of his vision, there were no two ghosts on the street.
“………this this….”
Old Man Chen turned his head tremblingly while pinching the silver. He couldn't speak after connecting it for a few times. He pointed to the empty direction, his gray beard was shaking violently.
"The chief arrest... your two friends... are humans or ghosts..."
"Nature is human."
Zuo Zhengyang turned over and picked his chin at Old Man Chen: "Since you have paid, just keep it away. It's best not to use it. Maybe it can also ward off evil spirits and exorcises ghosts."
When the old man came to his senses, he still wanted to ask that Zuo Zhengyang had already urged his horse to leave.
Can it also drive away evil spirits?
Oh...those two are masters.
Old Man Chen hurriedly bowed to the empty long street with silver in his hands.
*******
The lights in Zhou Mansion are still there.
When Lu Liangsheng returned with the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch, the mansion was so quiet that it was hard to hear the voices of people, and the sound of insects came from the grass sometimes.
The lights in the side yard were still on, and Hong Lian sat at the door waiting for him to come back.
"Young Master, why are you the only one coming back?"
"Sun Yingxian said he climbed over the wall faster, why, he was slower than me?" The scholar put the pasta in his hand on the desk and pulled the tart paper on it.
"Give it, taste it, it tastes pretty good."
Nie Honglian pressed her lower abdomen and leaned over, took a light sip at the rising hot noodle soup, her red lips slightly opened, revealing her white teeth.
He looked at the scholar with a smile.
"It's much more fragrant than incense and candle."
"Then, I will leave you a portion of whatever I eat." Lu Liangsheng also smiled, tore open another bowl of tart cloth paper, and swept his eyes around.
"Where is my master?"
At this time, under the bed, Taoist Toad looked out of his face with a solemn expression: "What's the matter if you look for a teacher?"
"I brought a bowl of noodles to my master..."
Before Lu Liangsheng could finish his words, the toad Taoist's stomach rumbling again, rolling and crawling out from under the bed, rushed outside, and came back for a while.
at the same time.
Outside the house, someone descended from the courtyard wall, and then... Sun Yingxian's angry scolding came.
"Who's fucking shit..."
The Toad Taoist sitting by the bowl chewing noodles, his face was calm and gentle.
On the side, Nie Honglian covered her mouth and chuckled, approached the scholar, and whispered:
Chapter completed!
