Chapter five hundred and ninety-third
The mountain people from the northwest border lived in the village. In the early morning, smoke filled the green forests at the foot of the mountain. The farmers who went out to work stood in the fields and looked at the distant northwest in surprise. Between the winding mountains, the brown and yellow barren land was covered with a layer of "green clothes". Many villagers who saw this scene lost their hoes, ran back to the village, pulled up their wives, and rushed outside.
Twenty or thirty households at the entrance of the village gathered in a crowd, looking at the dense forest that suddenly grew in the distant mountains in surprise. Some people who believed in gods knelt down and bowed to the other side.
"What happened yesterday wasn't there yet"
"It must be that there was a god in the mountains. I didn't hear that there was thunder and windy again in the second half of last night."
"What if there is a monster?"
"The monster is so kind to help all the surrounding mountains plant trees?!"
"Oh, look, those trees are still growing, and they are almost over to another mountain."
"Immortality, this is the appearance of the gods. Everyone should pay homage to you. Maybe our mountain will be covered with forests and benefit our descendants. They will all kneel down and pay homage to you quickly."
The villagers gathered at the village head were moved by the old man in the village and hesitated for a while. Seeing someone in front of him kneeling down and kowtowed, they immediately knelt down on the ground and recited prayers to the northwest, hoping that the village would also receive the favors of gods and great men.
The prayers of more than a hundred people seemed to be heard. Someone opened his eyes and saw that the nearest mountain had become lush and green. Various trees swayed their branches and leaves in the wind. Along the mountain village, the brown and yellow land outside the farmland, the seedlings and grass broke out from the ground, and in a blink of an eye, they rose and became thicker. The shade of the trees covered the top of the villagers gathered at the village.
Many people opened their eyes and looked at this scene and suddenly started crying, "Thank you, I'm so kind."
The villagers shouted gratitude, but Lu Liangsheng, who went far away from the northwest mountains, could not hear it. Seeing the vegetation growing from the ground spreading dozens of miles away, full of vitality, living up to the desolation and barrenness of the past, I sighed a little in my heart, and I could not have imagined that the demonic power contained in the Ten Thousand Demon Pill could cover so far.
I felt a little sorry for the Toad Taoist and Gongsun Liao who were squatting at the entrance of the cave to watch the show.
"I have worked so hard that I almost capsized, but I was actually used by your apprentice like this."
"Yes, it would be a pity if I could have a few meals for me. It would not be considered as not eating. Maybe I could still pass the Demon King Realm."
As I spoke, there was nothing good to look at. I got up and went back into the cave.
Outside.
Lu Liangsheng stood by the cliff and stretched his muscles and bones, put the easel on the bookshelf, and joked with Hong Lianqiyou for a few words. He turned around and asked his master to prepare to go down the mountain. At this time, things were over, so he should go back to Chang'an and go to Wusezhuang to see who occupied the dove's nest.
The other monsters in the mountains died and fled. The Toad Taoist looked at the corpses of beasts that showed their true form on the ground, sucked in a greedy manner, and happily found firewood from the cave to light it, and set up a small pot.
When Lu Liangsheng came over, he was peeling a big snake into the pot and flipping around the pot to look at the recipe. When he heard footsteps, he saw his apprentice carrying Hong Lian, Qi You and holding the bookshelf. He was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Are you leaving?"
The scholar looked into the pot and almost couldn't hold the pot of white snake meat. It didn't matter if it was an ordinary snake, but this snake should be conscious. It was like a human being able to talk and communicate. If it wanted to eat, it would always feel difficult to swallow. Lu Liangsheng withdrew his gaze and nodded.
"Well, I have to go to Wujiang Mountain and then it's time to go back to Chang'an."
The Toad Taoist looked at a pot of snake meat with greed. His eyes lit up. He simply held the whole pot in his hand, turned around and called Gongsun Liao standing in front of the tattered stone chair: "You have lost your hole. Follow me to Chang'an to live. You can go to the streets to have fun at any time. It's better than here."
Lu Liangsheng did not refute the master's words. The demon king in front of him was not a sacrificial person. Apart from having nothing to do, he would not cause trouble at will. Gongsun Liao, who stood there, turned around and walked out of the cave with the master and disciple here.
"I slaughtered a group of monsters in the northwest. Afterwards, I have no more monsters to talk. Naturally, I have to go to Chang'an, but"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Liao lowered his eyes slightly.
"Maybe you have to go to the desert first and want to be quiet for a while."
He bowed to the toad Taoist, then turned to Lu Liangsheng. When the scholar returned the ceremony, he turned into a piece of yellow sand and flew to the sky, heading further west.
Shortly after Gongsun Liao left, there was a rustling sound on the edge of the cliff. Lu Pan, who were climbing below, was sweating profusely and exposed his head. When he saw Lu Liangsheng standing by the cliff, he immediately smiled on his face.
"Liangsheng, this cliff is really difficult to climb. Fortunately, it can't defeat me eight of them."
"Uncle Pan, we are getting ready."
Lu Pan and the eight people smiled froze, subconsciously turned their heads down and looked down. The mountain wall was steep and clouds were surrounded by the clouds, and the big rocks on the top of the tree were like beans dotted on the earth.
‘Gu’
The eight people rolled their Adam's apples and swallowed their saliva. Just as they were about to speak, Lu Liangsheng on the top smiled, waved his sleeves and brushed them away. Lu Pan, Lu Xi, and Lu Qing's eight people suddenly had their eyes blurred. The foot of the mountains in the distance, the steep walls and cliffs in front were spinning. They quickly closed their eyes. In less than half a breath, they stepped on their feet. When they heard the donkey's roar, they dared to open their eyes. In their sight, the old donkey was shaking its tail and tilting its neck and looking at it.
Lu Qing raised his face, looked at Du Feng, who was lingering in the clouds, and smacked his lips: "It took him half the night to climb up, but it took him a few breaths to get down."
"So, we climbed all night and it was in vain?"
"When I go back, there is a missing place to brag, what a pity."
"Hong Lian, you and Master go down first."
He handed the bookshelf to Qingfeng to the foot of the mountain, watched the woman and the toad Taoist with a pot floating outside the mountain, and gradually turned into small spots below. Lu Liangsheng faced the mountain wind and turned his face slightly: "You haven't left yet?"
Behind the broken and piled up gravel, the red fox with his tail came out carefully, and without any sound, turned into a dignified woman, bowing to the scholar opposite him with a blessing.
It was the matchmaker before.
"gentlemen"
The woman spoke timidly, looked at Lu Liangsheng with a slightly cold look, and then lowered her head: "Sir, don't blame me, the matchmaker stays here just to ask me for something."
As his hair stroking, Lu Liangsheng turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
The red fox suddenly bent his knees, knelt on the ground, leaned over and bowed down: "Matchmaker followed Mrs. Gu for many years. Although she has a bad temperament, she takes good care of her maids. She doesn't take any harm like her sister. Now she has gone. Matchmaker wants to take the bone she wrapped back to Baihuling and put it in peace."
"Bone?" Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly.
Hearing the scholar's questioning tone, the matchmaker did not dare to hesitate and quickly explained: "Wa Hongyi took me away from Qixia Mountain and came to Baihu Ridge. There was a murdered girl in the forest. She died for many years and only had a white bone. The wife relied on the white bones to make the painted skin attached to her so that she could walk on the ground. Yesterday, when she was attached to the demon king, she took out the bones in the cave room and used the painted skin to confuse the demon king."
It turned out that there were such twists and turns in it. Thinking about Hua Hongyi's performance just now at sunrise, Lu Liangsheng was silent for a moment and raised his hand to the red fox crawling on the ground.
"Then you go, find Hua Hongyi's corpse, take it back to Baihuling for burial. As I said before, I will find a forest and practice with peace of mind. If I let my master know that you will continue to do evil, it will be like your sister, White Fox, and it will be put into thick water in the gourd, so I can write it down?"
"The matchmaker has written it down." The red fox kowtowed, got up and looked ahead. The edge of the cliff was empty, and Lu Liangsheng had long disappeared.
"Mr. Xie!"
The matchmaker thanked him again, and then walked into the cave room. Following his familiarity with Hua Hongyi, he found the bones of a man hidden in the stone room. He squatted down and held it in his arms, and stroked the dust from the bones.
"Madam, the matchmaker is here to take you home."
He hugged the corpse and returned to the entrance of the cave, flew out of the cliff from another direction, and threw himself into the lushness among the mountains in the distance.
Under the mountain.
Lu Liangsheng stepped on the last mountain wall under his feet, and his body fell to the ground. When he saw the old donkey running around, rubbing his master's sleeve, Qiyou was so angry that he patted his nose with his hand.
"That's mine!"
The scholar next to him glanced around and found that Lu Pan was holding the pot and disappeared from the toad Taoist.
"Where is my master?"
Hong Lian chuckled slightly, and his fingertips pointed quietly at the bookshelf on the side of the donkey's buttocks in the slightly opened small door. The toad Taoist lay lazily inside, holding the cigarette pole and hummed.
"You little girl will laugh if you want to laugh, don't point your finger at me." As he said that, he yawned and smacked his lips: "It's still so comfortable, Liangsheng, when your teacher is not hungry, leave quickly."
"OK."
Lu Liangsheng responded with a smile, pulled the reins, and shouted: "Let's go."
"Yes!" Hong Lian responded with a smile, turning into a stream of blue smoke and went to the painting hanging on the bookshelf. Lu Pan looked at the iron pot in his arms and called in confusion to the other seven people to follow.
Trench
The eagle turned into a breeze flew in the sky and roared. The old donkey raised his head unwillingly, "Ah Hem Hem" made an ugly roar, and followed the figure soaring in the sky to Wujiang Mountain.
The sky light passed through the clouds and fell to the chaotic foothills below. The towering peaks seemed to have been flattened, bare and without forests. The birds flying through the sky overlooked a towering Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. There were trees that were lush with branches and leaves, and spots of light swaying on the ground.
Ding Ding Ding
The wind chimes under the eaves of the Taoist temple swayed gently, and in the tranquility, three figures stumbled back from outside in a mess, and did not enter the house. They just sat under the eaves and wiped away the sweat stains on their faces.
"Just say that the demon king summoned the demons in vain and wanted to kill us to get the pill."
"Oh, if I hadn't had some skills, I was afraid that the body would not be left behind."
"Hmph, wait until we recover our mana,"
Among the three figures under the eaves, the burly and strong man waved his hand heroically, suddenly remembering Gongsun Liao's Taoist conduct, the cultivation of the Zixing Taoist, the monkey wearing golden armor, and the elegant scholar. His tone suddenly changed, and he waved his fingers to the surrounding buildings.
"Restore magic power and settle down here, and practice well. But I just ask about the outside world. My three demons were the first to be born. Although I encountered unlucky things, I am lucky to have this place, haha!"
The two demons looked at each other, nodded together, and clasped their fists: "What brother said is reasonable!"
