Chapter 198: Thinking back to Jiang Donglang
“How lively is the capital?”
Lu Liangsheng sat on the steps and watched the woman tied the shallow green horse to the tree body. The old donkey that was originally playing with the toad Taoist, stopped and arched his mouth and nose, and hummed at the horse, scaring the shallow green horse trotted around the tree.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt your horse."
When Min Yuerou heard the words of the scholar under the eaves, she walked over with confidence. Hong Lian, who was beside her, snorted, but did not do anything other hostile, turned around and went into the room.
"It seems that there are people who are not welcome." The woman glanced at the door where Hong Lian entered, and the Taoist turned his head and looked at it, chuckling.
"Hey, that's not a human..."
Before he could finish his words, a branch hit his head while the half-opened door.
Min Yuerou chuckled, hugged her skirt and squatted beside the fire, smelled the pot of cooking in the pot, and said, "It smells so good." Then she talked about the things in the capital.
"Originally, my father was going to come and see you, but when he returned to the city last night, he found out that His Majesty Bintian, and in the capital... Well, there are no other officials anymore. My father can only come forward to promote officials from below to stabilize the embarrassing situation of no ministers in the court, and preside over His Majesty's funeral, and the new king ascends the throne."
Lu Liangsheng came over, sent a dead branch into the fire, and said with a smile:
"It's reasonable that Shangshu Min is now the largest official in the capital. He should be the one who comes forward to take charge of the overall situation, but the new emperor should be Chen Jing succeeding to the throne, right?"
The woman pulled a strand of black hair into her ears. She didn't know clearly about this.
"After my father entered the palace, he had no time to come back. Now he was in a mess in the city. The yamen wanted to stabilize the people. There were people everywhere on the streets. Speaking of......"
She glanced at the scholar's side face. When the other party looked over, he quickly lowered his head and helped to pass away a dead branch.
"Everyone is talking about what happened last night. It was a monster and a dragon... many people were so scared."
Next to it, Taoist Toad came from the yard with double webbed hairs, walked past the woman with her feet on her feet, and looked into the pot with her feet.
"Is there another old monk in the city too?"
Although Min Yuerou had heard the toad speak before, she was still a little scared and moved to the side carefully.
On the side, Lu Liangsheng looked over and said with a smile: "Is this my master?"
The woman remembered the scholar who was flying in the air with his robe and holding a sword that night, and looked at the short toad with flippers in front of her, and opened her mouth slightly, making it difficult to close.
"What? Can't toad teach apprentices?"
The toad Taoist's eyes slashed across the corner of his eyes. Women were born to be afraid of such a cunning thing, let alone being able to speak and dress. Min Yuerou immediately shook her whole body and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no..."
"That's good, is that old monk in the city?"
The woman replied in a low voice: "Yes, that master is helping people chant scriptures in the city to calm people's hearts."
"It's good to be there." The Toad Taoist took the webbing and looked at the apprentice beside him, and spoke majestic: "Liangsheng, pack your bags, let's leave quickly. As soon as the master saw him, he felt uncomfortable!"
Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that the master would say something, but what he was waiting for was this. The Taoist on the other side turned his face, holding a wooden spoon in his hand, and ringing at the edge of the pot with his eyes.
"The rice is cooked, do you think you want to leave?"
The toad looked at him for a moment, waved his big webbing: "Then let's finish the meal and leave!"
The three people who were originally talking about the trouble suddenly stopped their voices. The old donkey lying on the side of the yard shook his ears and raised the donkey's head. The two people under the eaves were a monster, and even Nie Honglian in the room walked out of the door.
Min Yuerou's heart suddenly tightened, she swallowed and whispered: "What's wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, they suddenly shaved for a while. The originally clear Chenyang fell into the sight. The woman was yin and fucked directly until a yin and cold swelled all over her body and began to tremble.
When she asked again, "What's wrong?" Lu Liangsheng got up and walked out of the eaves. In the gloomy sky, it seemed like rain fell.
Between the weed road outside the courtyard, a tall and thin figure dragged a gray robe, wearing a pointed hat, and stood there with a greasy umbrella. In an instant, it seemed like it was floating towards this side.
When he saw Lu Liangsheng in white and green robe in the yard, he held up his umbrella and bowed slightly.
"I've met Mr. Lu."
Under the man's hat, a black cloth curtain covered his face, and he couldn't see his face. However, looking at his yin energy and the faint smell of sandalwood, Lu Liangsheng probably knew the other party's origin.
"I wonder which judge of the Chief of the Chief of the Emperor you are in charge of?
"The Quick Reporting Authority is under the Quick Reporting Authority."
Yinqi is a general term. Even day and night parades, soul-catching and soul-bound impermanence can be called Yinqi, which is equivalent to the head of the yamen in the world, constable, and yamen runners. Facing Lu Liangsheng, who once had the fame and fortune of the world and was a Taoist practitioner, he naturally seemed respectful.
Under the eaves over there, I saw the scholar standing alone in the yard as if talking to the air. Min Yuerou's face turned pale. Even though she had seen monsters, it was dark night and she couldn't see clearly. Now that she saw the empty place, she couldn't help but feel even more cunning.
"Master Toad, who is Mr. Lu talking to?"
"Hmph." Taoist Toad glanced at the yard, hugged the small bowl and stretched out two short legs, and digged up the food. "It's just a bad thing, there's nothing to make a fuss."
What a coincidence?
Min Yuerou shivered in an instant and quickly turned her head back and didn't dare to read it. Ghosts and monsters are different again. From childhood to adulthood, the description of monsters is more seen in books. When listening to the stories, ghosts have left a lot of shadows when they were told vividly by adults at home since they were young, and there are great taboos.
But I still heard the scholar's words in my ears.
"Then I wonder what I have to come here to look for?"
Under the shade umbrella, the tall and thin figure hung on the ground with his toes, floating back to one side, and replied hoarsely.
"The City God wants to invite sir to meet him."
The City God is divided into three levels: capital, prefecture and county. This city God is the white figure he saw last night. The other party is also a god, so it is difficult to disguise his face.
However, this is the first time I have seen Yin Guan as a living person.
Lu Liangsheng bowed and gave a gift: "Please wait a moment."
As he said that, he went back to the eaves to tell the Taoist Taoist. Sun Yingxian told him about the situation. Naturally, he couldn't eat it anymore. He asked the Taoist to leave him a bowl and eat it again when he came back. Then he said goodbye to Min Yuerou, but he didn't bring Yuelong sword. He made a gesture of invitation with the stranger who was waiting outside the courtyard.
"Let's go after a long wait."
The scholar was gentle and polite, which made the Yin Bada like him. When he walked aside with the other party, he couldn't help but move the umbrella away and block it. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and took it back.
Uh... the bad habit I've gotten used to holding an umbrella for the City God.
The yin energy spread under the feet of a person and a ghost. The sunlight behind it shone again, as if only this world is yin, which made Lu Liangsheng feel fresh, probably because of the umbrella.
Walking through the eastern suburbs, there were many civilians who repaired the roads under supervision, as if they could not see Lu Liangsheng, but he still stepped on the mud, sand and gravel.
There is a branch road to the south of the official road, and the City God Temple is two miles away. There are many dead leaves falling from the red walls and black tiles, and the long stone steps have moss. When you enter, the yellow paper candle is lit and a three-legged bronze tripod is inserted into it. The incense is burning around, and it looks like there is a lot of incense.
More than a dozen men and women were cleaning. When they saw a new pilgrimage, they came forward to help and guided the location of the incense burning.
Under the guidance of the Yin Crisis, Lu Liangsheng crossed the threshold and walked into the City God Hall. As soon as he saw the clay sculpture and altar outside, the voices outside suddenly became quiet.
The secret messengers in official robes walked around, and each director was holding up the case. Only five judges of the seven ministries were handling official duties. They glanced at each other occasionally and continued to do their own things, as busy as the office of the Yangshifu Office.
"Haha, Mr. Lu."
At the first place, a clay sculpture shone with a divine light, and a figure walked out with a smile.
The man looked like jade, had a white robe, and a slender figure. He quickly walked to Lu Liangsheng and raised his hand.
"Tianzhi City God, Zhou Yu."
Lu Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of this name. His sleeves shook open and he bowed his hand to return the gift.
Chapter completed!
