Chapter 74: Dancing under the Moon
It was late at night and it was already late at night, and the side yard gradually became quiet.
The Taoist rinsed his mouth several times and went back to the room to sleep with his head covered. Lu Liangsheng read the book for a while, but he couldn't calm down.
Walking out of the door, he jumped directly, stepped on the opposite courtyard wall, turned around and threw himself to the roof, swept his sleeves, blew the fallen leaves on the tiles, and sat down quietly.
The bright moon that was walking out of the night clouds again, and the clear light shone on his face, his eyes were a little dazed. Thinking about the things that have happened over the past few days, I also missed Lujia Village a little bit.
"Young Master."
A soft voice came softly, and Lu Liangsheng knew who it was without looking back. Nie Honglian, wearing a long-sleeved red dress, floated over and fell next to him, and sat down.
Follow the scholar's eyes and look at the bright moon in the sky.
"I heard from Master Sun that the young master almost lost his cultivation to extend his life to Zhang Liancheng?"
"Isn't it done, I'll just say it."
Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but smile. He knew that doing so would make people around him worry, but the knowledge of establishing words, establishing one's mind, and establishing one's own life has a great influence on him. If you want to learn from calligraphy and painting, you have to try it...
"I also know that Zhang Liancheng has nothing to do with me, but I can't see his parents kneeling down and begging others like that. I also have parents."
Speaking of his parents, Nie Honglian sat there bent her knees and looked at the scholar's side face, then looked up at Qingyue, pursed her lips and smiled.
"When it comes to parents, I almost forgot about them... Now, there is really no one in the family."
He said something and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ha...what do you do when you say this? Master, look, the night is so beautiful tonight. I will dance for you."
On the side, Lu Liangsheng was slightly stunned, a red sleeve brushed over his face, and smiled for a moment, and saw that the beautiful figure next to him had already floated out.
Under the moonlight, the red dress was graceful and the red sleeves were flying. At this time, the waist swayed, the embroidered shoes kicked the hem of the skirt, Hong Lian tilted slightly, the red sleeves tulle slid across the elegant lips, her eyes looked at the scholar sitting on the roof, with a faint confusion and charm.
Lu Liangsheng looked at the dancing expression of the woman in the air.
"I didn't expect that Hong Lian was more than just opera... I'm afraid this dance has been put in effort."
After the dance began, below, the Toad Taoist climbed up the eaves with difficulty, grabbed the eaves of the house, kicked his feet a few times, bulged his cheeks, and took a lot of effort to climb up.
When he came up to the roof with panting, Lu Liangsheng put his hands on his knees, his sleeves hanging on both sides, gently stroking in the wind, looking at this pleasing dance under the moon.
"Liangsheng."
The voice of Taoist Toad sounded behind the scholar. Lu Liangsheng turned around, and the toad walked over calmly, stood on one side, looking at the female ghost in the air with her webbed faces, and the clear moon.
"I haven't seen the moon like this for a long time. No matter when I look at it, she looks so beautiful."
“Master…”
As soon as Lu Liangsheng spoke, he was interrupted by the toad Taoist swinging his webbing and laughed:
"... I remember that when I first saw the moon, it was still very small. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed. Fears, grudges, love and hatred, or murder, or being obsessed with practice, not living in the world, is actually inseparable from wisdom.
It’s not the wisdom you hold in the book, but how to live, good students, you must remember that the wisest person who survives in the end is the wisest person. As a teacher, you can’t tell the great truth about your academic teacher, but living longer than him is definitely the most useful. The world is sinister, and you still need to be more mature than others and have the wisdom of ‘living’.”
Looking at the silhouette standing under the moon with his hands behind his back, Lu Liangsheng bowed.
"My master said, Liangsheng knows."
The scholar took a deep breath, and the clear light shone on his face, with a smile.
"... In fact, I just told Hong Lian that Zhang Liancheng's incident was because he couldn't stand the old man's kneeling down. The master said that he wanted to live, and Liangsheng also understood the wisdom of his life."
He lowered his head and looked at the toad Taoist who was looking at.
"Have you ever felt grateful for being grateful to me? I remember three years ago, the grandfather came to my house at night, said something grateful, and knelt down in front of my parents... From that day on, I felt that it would be better not to do good deeds than to do small good."
He looked into the night sky and Hong Lian was graceful, with long sleeves spreading with his hands slowly turning, and his entire limb was rotating.
Under the soft moonlight, the dress is like ripples on the water, flying and spreading continuously. As the hair dances wildly, an occasionally charming and exquisite flashes through it.
....
In the backyard of Zhou Mansion, Zhou Ying, who was unable to sleep for his daughter, sat up, put on a single dress, lit a candle, and looked at his wife quietly.
Zhou Rong, who was on the side, slept peacefully. She occasionally dreamed of peach blossoms flying all over the sky, and she unconsciously smiled.
The moonlight is as quiet as water, and occasionally ripples.
In another house in the distance of the city, in the warm yellow light, Zhang Liancheng, who woke up, weakly held his beloved woman, and the two knelt in front of their parents together.
Zhang's mother sobbed and helped the two people holding hands up. The stubborn old man cursed for a while, but finally nodded.
....
"Sometimes I also want to be selfish and do my best, but I often find that the four words "do your best" are really too difficult in front of the practitioners. If I don't regard the enemy as a human being, I can do it, but I don't regard the people who need help as a human being... There is always a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over it and my feet can't move away."
"This world is not peaceful, and sometimes the world is unkind. If the practitioners who practice Taoism do not do anything, they will be in vain. Don't they wear anything, the food in their stomachs, and even the souls of their bodies come from this world?"
Lu Liangsheng could not explain too profound truths. In general, it was just a simple sentence.
"If you encounter something unfair, I will take care of it. If you encounter something that the government cannot touch, I will take care of it even if you encounter something!!"
"You are too young, don't put your hopes too much on being an official, and you're in a dark place."
The Toad Taoist sighed: "You can't tell me about you, and you will always suffer losses before you will wake up."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard below.
"Master, don't you sit for a while?" Lu Liangsheng turned around and called him.
Over there, the Toad Taoist raised his webbing and waved his hand, "I'm going to rest for you, you're very careful."
After walking a few steps, I suddenly stopped. Looking at the dark ground below, the corners of my mouth twitched.
"How did I get up at this tall?"
On the roof, Lu Liangsheng watched the last dance fall, and when he stretched out his palm to slapped, the Toad Taoist came over to sit with him.
"Master, aren't you leaving?"
The Toad Taoist looked at Qingyue with a serious expression: "I suddenly felt that it was still early, so I sat for a while and looked at the moon."
"What Master said before, Liang Sheng kept it in mind."
When Lu Liangsheng saw Nie Honglian floating down, he looked at each other and said to the toad again.
"See, Master, Hong Lian and I will go down first."
The toad sitting on the roof was still saying "... Remember in your heart" nodded, and suddenly heard the sentence behind, and suddenly opened his eyes and felt something was wrong.
He stood up and turned around. A man and a woman had already descended from the courtyard and entered the room with a chat and laugh.
"Wait...back...come..."
Taoist Toad was sitting on the roof, his mouth twitching slightly, and his mouth was wide open in a daze.
