In Chang'an, the sky was gloomy in the morning, and the rain line connecting the sky and the earth fell, and the hibiscus pond rippled and ripped up. The buildings in the vast water vapor stood. The sound of rain fell on the eaves, and the pearl curtains ticked down.

The Taoist sat under the eaves in a confused manner, watching the eight big men standing bare-handedly in the rain, "hum!", "Ha!", practicing the formation, yawned, and the door next to him opened. Zhu Gangli looked around and saw that the scholar was not outside, and quickly flashed out, noticing that the Taoist who had not yet woken up was sitting there.

"Old pig, what are you doing in this way?"

"Hey, I'm so scared."

Looking back, seeing that it was the Taoist, Zhu Gangli let out a heavy breath, turned his head and looked around, and whispered: "Is Lu Liangsheng not here?"

"I didn't see anyone early in the morning, and I might still be sleeping in the room. Why are you..." The Taoist twirled his beard, narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, and leaned over and approached slightly: "Are you going out?"

On the other side, Zhu Gangli rubbed his palms and looked at Lao Sun who was picking up his worries and smiled embarrassedly.

"Hehe, don't you know this anymore. What do you mean by saying it? Then... I'll just go back."

"return!"

The Taoist went up and pulled his sleeve, looked back at the square, the eight people practicing in the rain, and lowered their voices: "Did you bring money?"

Hearing this, the pig demon was stunned for a moment, reached out to touch his waist, and nodded.

"Yes! How many taels do I have on my old pig..."

"Then leave quickly, I have no money, you will pay later!"

"Save it!"

One man and one demon took advantage of the eight great men over there noticing attention and cast an invisible spell, stepped on the water on the ground and sneaked to the mountain gate. Before he could go out to walk far away, he heard a female voice.

"Where are you going?!"

An old tree nearby turned into a cloud of smoke. Mu Qiyou dragged his black gauze long skirt and ran out of the forest. He looked at the man and demon who showed his body and didn't speak. He pointed his fingertips on his chin and glanced at the direction of the city, meaningful, "Oh, it turns out you are going..."

"Shh!"

Taoist, Zhu Gangli hurriedly thrust, "Don't say, be careful to be heard by scholar Lu Da."

"Hey, the old demon has gone out early in the morning, so he won't take me there."

Qi You's eyes turned and fell on Sun Yingxian and Zhu Gangli opposite him. The corners of his mouth were wide open, and he approached him, slapped the Taoist's shoulder with one hand.

"I'll go too!"

Ignoring the reaction of each person and a demon, I took them to the market in the city. The streets were covered with blue bricks and there were few pedestrians on rainy days. The scholar mentioned in the north gate was walking on the banks of the Weishui River outside the city at this time.

The long river is surging, and it is turbulent toward the east. Lu Liangsheng, who is walking on the shore, paying attention to the water flow. It is still like Qixia Mountain. It is obviously not advisable to set up a formation in the water, but it is difficult to draw a magic array to protect the entire Chang'an City.

‘Chang'an relies on the Wei River, and it is filled with water spirit. There is Mount Li in the east to serve as a barrier, and the spirit of mountain is used as a formation bone...’

The raindrops hit the oil paper umbrella, and the water splashed and fell on his shoulders. The toad Taoist raised his webbing and wiped the splashed water stains, and stood up with his apprentice's ear.

Looking at the thoughtful apprentice, I mentioned something.

"Liangsheng, don't forget that there are still creatures in the city, but for a while, there are four symbols, and there are three symbols."

"Um!"

Lu Liangsheng took his fingers from the water, flicked away the water droplets, held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked along the river bank. It rained heavily in summer and the river water surged. Many patrol soldiers on the bank rode by horses and scolded the people of nearby villages not to approach the shore, so as not to fall into the water and drown.

Occasionally, there are brave villagers wearing straw hats and straw raincoats, running into the water vapor in heavy rain, looking at the fields close to the river, not being flooded by the flood, and joining hands to thank the Dragon King for showing mercy to the turbulent Wei River.

From afar, Lu Liangsheng watched the villagers go back with a hoe and bowed to the middle of the turbulent river.

In the river, a string of bubbles emerged, and the dim torrent was rolling, revealing a thick scale, sinking again, and quickly heading downstream along the river.

Boom-

Thunder sounded in the clouds, and the blue and white light flashed the rain screen. The oil-paper umbrella with the sound of "papa" rain passed over a team of patrolling Sui cavalry. The latter knew who the visitor was, and they all slowed down. They stopped with a "whistle" sound, raised their weapons on the horse's back, bowed their heads and bowed.

"I've met the national teacher."

Under the paper umbrella, Lu Liangsheng nodded to them, pinched out the magic trick and waved the sleeves of the robe. The knight's body, wet armor, instantly became dry, and the falling raindrops slanted, sliding over them to the ground.

"Thank you all, please step up your inspection and don't let the nearby people get close to the river."

"yes!"

More than a dozen soldiers looked at their bodies, and they bowed their hands and responded loudly in excitement, shook the reins, shouted loudly: "Hold!" They clamped the horse's belly, ran up in the rain, and splashed mud and water along the way.

Lu Liangsheng lowered his hand, looked at the riding team in the disappearing rain curtain, continued walking on the river bank, observing the landform, and in the appropriate place, he drew a small magic array with stones as a mark so that when he set up the array later, he could find the direction accurately.

After setting a few marks along the river, he turned to Mount Li, stretching out the foothills of the mountain, with branches and leaves shaking and dripping with water stains. Lu Liangsheng walked through the wet stone steps with an oil-paper umbrella. The "Fengzi" tea on the side was still open, and there were no customers in the store. The guy sat bored at the shed waiting for the girl in yellow who would come every day.

When I saw Lu Liangsheng, the guy hummed and turned away, but was slapped by the shopkeeper. When I looked at him again, the scholar in the rain had already gone to the end of the mountain road at some point.

Didi ~~

The water droplets dripped along the tip of the leaf on the paper umbrella. Lu Liangsheng took his master to walk through a while, looking at the forests and mountains in the misty water vapor, frowned.

"It's a bit difficult to find a place with abundant spiritual energy."

He reached out and took out a thumb-sized book from his sleeve and spread it in his palm. Lu Liangsheng blew away his breath and suddenly became larger and restored to his original size. He automatically turned over a few pages to reveal the contents on it.

"Mountains and waters, people think they are the three symbols. The east and north waters produce the south wind, which is the four symbols. The human formation stands in Wanshou Temple, and the wind is invisible and formless, so there is no need to stand..."

The Four Symbol Spirit Protection Array is different from the spirit gathering array in Qixia Mountain. The latter mainly nourishes the water, soil and creatures in the array, while the former tends to protect the creatures in the array.

But no magic array produces spiritual energy out of nothing. It either uses the help of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers to absorb spiritual energy and turn it into magic arrays, or is like the blood spirit array set up by Yuwen Tuo, which is driven by the transformation of the energy of living beings into magic arrays.

Lu Liangsheng is not good at magic arrays, and the four-symbol array has a complex structure and cannot be completed in one day. At present, it is a bit of a headache to just choose the position of the mountain spirit to form the array. After all, Mount Li is where my mother is, and it is impossible to do too much.

After walking a piece, the girl in a yellow dress came with a tea pot on the other end of the mountain road filled with water vapor. When she saw Lu Liangsheng, she smiled slightly.

"Mr. Lu is here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so you might as well go to the northwest of Laomu Temple to see, which has a unique scenery there."

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and bowed to the girl in the yellow dress walking to the tea shop far away to thank him in the toad's puzzled gaze.

Holding a paper umbrella, I quickly went to Laomu Temple. Following the direction where the woman pointed, the rain washed away the rustling sound of the forest. I came to a steep cliff wall and stopped. The view became wider. Between the hazy mist, the distant mountains overlapped. You could see the official road leading to Shangluo winding through the two mountains, and you could also overlook the Wei River flowing eastward.

“Good place!”

Lu Liangsheng bowed to the old mother temple again and thanked him, so he picked up a large stone nearby, pressed it off the ground, carved the magic circle pattern, and left it as a mark.

"Of course it's a good place. How can my mother's place be bad?" Taoist Toad rolled his eyes and looked at the hazy mountain scenery of the water vapor, and yawned.

"Have you finished doing it? My teacher is hungry, so hurry up and go back."

The last stroke of the magic pattern was carved on the stone. Lu Liangsheng thought it was too late. He patted the dust and stone chips on his hands, and walked back. After a while, he called the Taoist and came over together. One formation fell one by one, and he should be able to finish the work before the red light fell down that day.

After leaving this place, I did not meet a woman in yellow dress on the road. I went down to the foot of the mountain and entered the city from the east gate of Chang'an. On the street leading to Furong Pond, I saw a one-armed figure running on the ground with water.

"Zuo Qianwei?"

Lu Liangsheng stopped and called out to the other party. The latter hurriedly stopped and exhaled heavily.

"I'm finally back, come with me."

"What happened?" Lu Liangsheng followed him in confusion.

Zuo Zhengyang wiped away the water stains on his face and turned around.
