Chapter 29: There are elegant residences in the downtown area

Lu Liangsheng looked at the outline of the courtyard formed by the scroll, glanced at the swaying candlelight beside him, frowned slightly, stopped the brush, raised his face and looked outside. Under the lush tree cage, he vaguely saw the outline of half of the figure hanging there shaking, and turned his head and shouted: "Old Sun."

On the bed, Taoist Toad leaned against the radio and listened to the old growth tunes inside... and waved his head towards the door leading to the kitchen.

"Go over there."

This old grandson.

Lu Liangsheng shook his head, laughed a little, and continued to draw the scroll. Since he had already gone, there was no need to go out to see it. When he buried his head and continued to paint, half of his body hung over the old tree in the courtyard outside the house floated towards the window frame. The branches and leaves were separated rustling, revealing a pitch-black human shape. A rope stood above his head, as if floating with a figure.

It was unlike the sound of a person making that echoed in the night breeze in the courtyard. The slowly floating human figure raised his face, and among the messy and scattered hair, his white eyes looked at the figure who was painting in the window lattice, and floated into the eaves.

The toad Taoist on the couch inside glanced, yawned, turned around and picked up the radio to touch the ear hole. Lu Liangsheng felt the cold air that was filled with the window. He raised his head and saw a rope hanging around the window.

The scholar frowned, opened his lips lightly, and squeezed out two words.

"presumptuous!"

The words seemed to be transformed, and the air shook slightly, and a circle of ripples was raised, and the rope that followed the hanging was sniffed. A sharp scream of "Ah--" sounded in the air outside the window. The obvious outline of the person popped out hard, hitting the wooden pillars under the eaves, and the yin energy instantly spread. A woman with disheveled hair rolled on the ground with her long tongue, bursts of black smoke rose up all over her body, and she floated up and rushed to the locust tree in the courtyard wall. The door of the next kitchen opened with a bang, and suddenly stretched out one arm and rushed out of the dark room, passing under the eaves, stretched seven or eight meters, stretched out seven or eight meters and poked out of the eaves, holding the ghost's neck with her five fingers, pressed to the ground, and pulled the dark kitchen backwards.

“Ahhh…uhhhh…”

The evil ghost waved his hands and grabbed the ground tightly, leaving ten long black marks, and was pulled in in a panic and screamed in fear. After a moment, a shrill scream of "Ah!!" sounded, and there was no more movement.

.........

"Ah~~ I haven't used spells for a long time, it's like this."

Lu Liangsheng turned his head and looked over the kitchen. Lao Sun stretched his waist, carried a yellow cloth bag, threw it away, and lay on the couch and squeezed at the toad Taoist, as if he knew what the scholar was going to ask, and he put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof to talk about this spell.

"...When I left Qixia Mountain, I met an ugly scholar. I took the exam like you did back then. Later, the emperor thought he was ugly and was so sad that he hit the head in the Golden Palace. Later, somehow he became the Ghost King again. I learned this technique from him. You scholars really do anything faster than others... Well, I thought about it, he seemed to be Zhong Kui... I used to come to find my father every now and then, but after I was in seclusion, I didn't see him. After so many years, I don't know if he is still in the underworld."

"You may have already sensed it by this time when you use his spell."

Lu Liangsheng didn't know what the current era was like, so he responded casually and suddenly remembered something. The two of them were too excited to meet each other before and forgot about it for a while.

He stopped writing and looked at the Taoist lying on his side: "By the way, have Yanzhi contacted you after leaving Qixia Mountain? In the future, I will release the bright moon from the painting. I don't know where his mother is, so it's a bit unreasonable."

"I came back once three hundred years ago."

Sun Yingxian sat up from the couch, touched her chin and tried to recall her memories at that time, "...and then she left again. She said she felt that she had reached the realm of the Heavenly Fox. She might encounter a heavenly tribulation. She came to ask me for help. But at that time, I maintained the magic circle and guarded our land. Where could I leave now? I don't know how it is. Anyway, it's right on the Japanese island, before Tamamota, there were many little monsters on the Japanese island gathering around her, saying eight million gods... I laughed to death."

The Taoist supported his chin and laughed a few times. Seeing the scholar standing still, his smile froze: "Hey, scholar Lu Da, you won't go to that Japanese island, right?"

“Let’s see then.”

Lu Liangsheng came to his senses, smiled at him, turned around, continued to paint, stared at the courtyard scenery outlined above, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and a soft voice.

"If possible, you can go there. After all, it's better to help her with a little help and let her survive the heavenly tribulation... After all, there are not many old friends who are still in the world."

Hearing these sentimental words, Sun Yingxian imitated the appearance of the toad Taoist beside him, covered his ears, and looked like he didn't want to hear them, and turned to the other side of the wall.

Lu Liangsheng sighed, focusing on outlining a few strokes, and wrote the four words "Qingya Xiaoju" on the lower side of the painting. He gently hooked the tip of the pen and led his finger to the small courtyard outside the window.

On the scroll, the bamboo forest outlined by green ink sways. The soil on both sides of the locust trees in the courtyard broke open, revealing green bamboo shoots rising up, rising one after another, becoming slender and jade-like. The lush bamboo branches pulled out leaves and rolled in the wind. Between the green bamboos on both sides, under the locust trees, the stone tables and chairs were covered with chess board patterns, and two baskets of chess pieces were placed clearly black and white.

On the stroking scroll, golden light flowed, and the cement floor of the courtyard outside slowly sank to the ground. A handful of mud gushed out, and warm goose stone statues grew out of the ground, densely decorated with a small stone path connecting the bamboo forest, courtyard gate, eaves, and a small pavilion with green tiles and red pillars that appeared out of thin air not far away.

A gust of wind blew.

The two-sided house seemed to have faded color. The dilapidated roof was covered with layers of intact green tiles. The dusty doors and windows below were completely renovated. The windows were repainted with window paper. The beds, desks, coffee tables, and screens rose one by one. The outside courtyard walls, moss and vines quickly retracted into the ground.

The dilapidated courtyard gate, the four-character seal script of the elegant small house slowly carved out. Under the night, the old trees and bamboo forest of the courtyard appear quiet and gentle.

"That's why I think it's a bit like a place to live."

Lu Liangsheng put down his pen, stretched his muscles and bones, hung Hong Lian's portrait on the wall, yawned, waved his hand to let the Taoist sleep inside, put his clothes together, and whispered the candle standing on the desk, and the fire disappeared.

.........

Oh~~ohohoh~~

The roosters in the neighboring courtyard crowed loudly, breaking the silence of the morning. The alleys near the city gradually became hustle and bustle. Young people rushing to work, old people walking birds in the morning, and children carrying schoolbags clamored to walk through the only alleyway.

No one noticed the figures in the past. The courtyard gate with the four characters "Qingya Xiaoju" gradually became angry. The door opened. Lu Liangsheng, Sun Yingxian, and Taoist Toad walked under the eaves with collars in front and back. They stood in a row of heights and stretched together, twisting their waists in the sunshine.

Then, he walked to the wellhead next to the pavilion and drank water. Everyone held the bowl he had used, squeezed toothpaste with a toothbrush, wrapped it between his lips and brushed it dozens of times. He drank the water together, and his cheeks were bulging in his mouth.

"Hota!"

The two of them spit out the toads on the ground, took a bath in the bowl, and put it to the well.

"Mr. Lu!!"

Just as the towel was coming out to wash his face, Gao Tianqiu's voice came to the outside of the yard. Lu Liangsheng put down his handkerchief and walked around the Taoist to open the door. Gao Tianqiu, among them, several people carried a lot of bags in their hands. When they saw the changes in the yard, the things in their hands fell to the ground.

“What happened this night…”

However, Gao Tianqiu was still reacting quickly. He quickly picked up something from the ground and took out his ID card from his arms, "Mr. Lu, Master Sun, these are the identities of you two, and you can go anywhere in the future."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the small card in his hand. He actually had his appearance, date of origin, and address clearly. On the side, Taoist Toad jumped onto his apprentice's shoulder, looked over and fell to the figure opposite him.

"Where is me?"

"This..." Gao Tianqiu spread his hands, which was not only a difficult situation for the clerk. Mr. Lu and Master Sun were still an individual, so how should we deal with this toad?

"The Great Immortal of Chan, it's not that we don't do it for you, it's that there is really no precedent..."

While speaking, a voice suddenly came from the communicator, interrupting his words. After two whimpers, Tang Liren's words came to his headset.

"You come back first. Something happened in the institute. The purified red stone disappeared, and the information about Lu Liangsheng was also leaked."

Gao Tianqiu's pupils shrank and subconsciously looked at the scholar opposite him. When he felt the atmosphere change, Lu Liangsheng put away his ID card and looked over.
