Chapter 436: The View of Longevity
The clouds scattered at night, revealing a clear moon. There were torches on the city walls. In the swaying firelight, the soldiers who were patrolling by were looking at the side of the lake in the city from time to time, and the temple that suddenly appeared in the afternoon.
"It's so weird, a temple suddenly appeared..."
"No, the stone steps look quite long. I'm afraid that half of the mountain has been moved here. Who did it? Ask the boss, he told us not to talk too much."
"Hmph, you don't know this. I'm well-informed and asked secretly from where the captain asked, don't tell anyone else..."
"Don't talk nonsense, talk quickly."
"I heard that it was a national guru from the Great Sui Dynasty to protect the peace of the world. In the afternoon, I heard that someone had seen dragons and water spread to the river bank. It almost smashed the water gate under our city wall."
"Oh, so awesome?!"
"That's of course... don't stop, and say as you walk, so you can't think that we're lazy in the inspection wall."
.........
The moonlight shines across the city, reflecting the mercury light inside the city wall.
Wow~~
The sound of water flutters on the shore, and the hazy moonlight shines on the towering white rock-patterned mountain gate. On the straight bluestone steps, birch trees hang their branches, swaying in the wind.
At the end of the empty white rock floor tiles, Lu Liangsheng stood in front of the pool with his hands behind his back, looking at the towering stone tablets in the pool and the lacquered seal script carved on it.
On the side, Taoist Toad was sitting on a wild duck egg, applying medicinal wine to himself, and slapped the back of the head a few times.
"Liangsheng, what else can I see? I can't hook my back and help me wipe it."
"I'm looking at this stone tablet and thinking... I can't call Zishan Temple in the future."
Lu Liangsheng withdrew his gaze, picked up his master, put it on the stone pillar of the pool fence, and sat down. He pointed the bumps behind the toad with his fingertips. There was no trace of injury on it. The fingertips touched the magic power that passed on made the toad Taoist squint his eyes comfortably and shook his head a few times.
"Master, you are not injured, aren't you? Besides, your demon pill has recovered, and you can't kill a few wild ducks?"
On the stone pillar, Taoist Toad changed his lying position, waved his webbing to show his disciples to hold his shoulders, "Didn't my master tell you before? The demon pill is a demon pill. The demon pill has been repaired and the magic power has not been accumulated yet. How could I say that when it was at its peak, those cultivators surrounded me in a crowd of people. The purple gold gourd in the master's hand would just throw it away, and a large number of people would fall down... Do you think that the master was just here to eat?"
Lu Liangsheng stopped his fingertips and replied subconsciously: "Isn't it?" The toad Taoist lying on the stone pillar immediately turned his face and glared. The scholar quickly turned his gaze and continued to hold his little shoulders.
"Ahem~~"
The Toad Taoist coughed twice and turned back, "Liangsheng, continue to say what name you want to change."
"I didn't think it through." Lu Liangsheng pondered for a moment. He had a lot of inspiration to name others and was very evident. But if it was really the turn of something closely related to him, he would not have thought of a better name.
"Think about it later. If you formally enthroned the national master, Shangda Emperor and the world know Houtu, you still need an altar. I will do this first tomorrow, and think about it while doing it."
As he said that, he bent down and picked up the wild duck egg on the ground and put it in the palm of his hand. He held the master up and gently put it on his shoulders. He walked back to the attic with lights there. Now he is officially going to live here, which is half a home.
In the building, the lights were brightly lit, and the flames embedded in the lamp posts on the wall burned inside, and there was a room with alchemy, filled with blue smoke.
The Taoist squatting beside the bronze furnace, threw several pieces of talisman paper under the furnace one after another, ignited a large fire, boiled the food in the furnace, heard footsteps coming in, raised his blackened face, and looked at Lu Liangsheng.
"Scholar Lu, don't stumble there, hurry up and burn the fire. I still have to cook vegetables."
The scholar turned the master over to the table next to him, put the duck egg in his hand on it, rolled up his sleeves and went over: "Where is Uncle Peng and the others?" As he said that, his eyes carefully looked at the bronze furnace and cauldron full of magic patterns.
"This furnace... seems to be used by the Holy Fire Mingzun to refine alchemy."
"They went upstairs to choose a room..."
The Taoist didn't care about those things. He threw away the talisman paper in his hand, picked up the copper prince and stepped on a copper lord, cushioned it hard inside, and the white air floated out, and a burst of rice fragrance came out.
"So what about the furnace and cauldron? I finally got to catch so many rice at once. It's useless. Who told us that there are so many people? By the way, Lao Lu..."
The Taoist tilted his head and asked, "What did you call that old dragon? If this guy suddenly goes crazy and harms the people in the waters outside, it will be a great sin. He wants to show off his power. It will be enough when he puts this temple to watch. Those civil and military officials, you have not seen any shock."
"You all say that you are an old dragon, and your spiritual intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people."
Lu Liangsheng picked up a piece of talisman paper and threw it into the fire. The shaking fire shone on his face, and his voice continued gently.
"... Actually, I also have some considerations. As a national teacher of a country, unlike when we travel around and kill demons on weekdays, we have to take the important task of taking one step and counting ten steps.
The Wei River and Jing River sometimes flood the villages and fields with lower terrain on both sides with the Yellow River, which attracts this old dragon, which can somewhat resolve some disasters. If he patrols the river section, perhaps fewer people will fall into the water and drown, which will add merit to him.
He heard from His Majesty that when building Daxing in Chang'an, you need to dig deep canals and connect several rivers to make the north and south waterways unobstructed. Whether it is transporting soldiers or in disasters, it can be much faster to transport disaster relief food to the local area. When it is really implemented, the old dragon will have a great effect!"
Speaking of this, Lu Liangsheng touched a little ashes and drew the Yellow River flowing eastward on the floor. "Look at it, using the Yellow River as the back to connect the north and south rivers, is it a big dragon?"
Sun Yingxian jumped off the bronze lord, put down the spoon and squatted aside, and carefully looked at the terrain of the river drawn by the scholar. He was able to roughly understand some Feng Shui and earth veins, and immediately saw something.
He stood up from the ground in fear: "Do you want to make a 'water' dragon vein?"
"Why not?" The scholar wiped the ashes and patted the black and gray on his fingertips and stood up: "But I just think about this kind of thing first. However, with His Majesty's current age, I'm afraid he can't wait for him to implement it. I can only lay a solid foundation for the prosperous era of Jiuzhou and make the people rich and hopeful. This is the most realistic."
The lights shook, Lao Sun looked at the scholar who turned to choose vegetables, then looked at the foggy waterway terrain on the ground, and twisted the mustache hard.
"I'm my mother... I want to make a living dragon vein and live forever."
Life is forever?
Lu Liangsheng, who was squatting on the side holding vegetables, lit up his eyes. This is a good name. He is a prosperous era. Who wouldn’t want it to live forever?
Then, he shook his head again and smiled: "I just had the first day of becoming a national teacher. I want to live forever. I don't know how many years it will take to go."
The scholar was thinking there that the toad Taoist ran over the lamppost on the table, put the duck eggs in his arms next to the fire, raised his toad face and fed the Taoist.
"Little Taoist, come and help me cook the egg. Remember to stir it well and add more oil and fry more golden brown. By the way, do you still have chopped green onion? Remember to add more and add less salt. I have eaten light food recently."
However, before the busy Taoist could finish his words, he moved his feet and kicked the duck egg with a snap, rolling away the furnace feet and shattering.
"That's my mother!! My egg!!"
The angry shout suddenly stopped. Lu Liangsheng looked back. The Taoist who looked down there was about to retaliate when he saw a furry yellow duck crawling out from the broken eggshell, shaking his chicks and blinking his eyes at the toad Taoist.
Taoist: "..."
Lu Liangsheng: "......"
