The forest was swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds. The Taoist priest and Zhu Ganglie in front of the fence quickly jumped away from the direction where Lu Liangsheng was bowing.
Sun Yingxian twirled the tip of his mustache. He had been with the scholar for many years, so there was no need for such a big bow. He just waved his hands repeatedly.
"We are close friends. Apart from sleeping on the same couch, we also eat and live together. This little favor is nothing."
Pinching the tip of his beard, he raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his sharp cheeks, he moved closer, and nudged Lu Liangsheng with his shoulder.
"Besides, didn't we agree long ago that you should give me a smaller betrothal gift? You can't go back on your word, or I'll get mad at you. I finally found someone who doesn't mind my appearance..."
Before he could finish, Lu Liangsheng waved his sleeves and pushed him aside without paying any attention to him.
"Hey, Lao Lu, this is not nice enough."
The Taoist priest was still talking as he came closer. Zhu Ganglie, who was standing beside him, rubbed his palms, chuckled, and covered Sun Yingxian's mouth with his hands.
"I am an honest old pig, unlike the little Taoist priest who is stupid and doesn't want any chance, hehehe..."
Lu Liangsheng felt uneasy when hearing this laughter. He was afraid that the other party would make some strange requests first, so he hurriedly said:
"Lu Liangsheng will do his best to do anything that does not violate the laws of the world or the morals of the people."
"No, no, I still have a conscience." The pig demon covered the Taoist's mouth and nose and waved his other hand a few times.
"I, Old Pig, also have someone in my heart, and I can't do that kind of thing, so... I'd better finish painting Yue'er as soon as possible."
He paused, put away his silly smile, turned serious, and gave another warning.
"Remember to wear less clothes... and be able to move."
Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Wearing less clothes
The Taoist was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped himself. Then he remembered that if the scholar recovered his cultivation, the painting would have magical powers. With magical powers, it could move... move...
"Oh my god, why didn't I think of such a good thing?"
He slapped himself hard again, lifted up his robe and squatted aside. Inside the fence on the side of the courtyard, Mu Qiyu in a black gauze dress came running towards him, resting her elbows on the fence, with a charming smile.
"I want one too. Let me think about it. I want..."
Suddenly the smile froze, and then collapsed: "Uh... It seems that I didn't help... Forget it."
Seeing her appearance, the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. After they cleaned up the place, they went down the mountain and returned to the village together. The farmers and village women who were busy in the fields carried their hoes back home, made fires and cooked, cut the smoked meat from the beams, and waited for their children to come back from school to replenish their bodies.
Smoke from cooking was curling in the air, and the sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking could be heard from time to time. When they returned to the courtyard, the Taoist priest pulled Zhu Ganglie to talk in a low voice, and then ran to the attic to discuss something.
Lu Liangsheng took off the yellow talisman on the hen's head and put it on the ground. The white hen turned its head around and somehow found itself back in the yard. It spread its wings slightly, cuckooed, and walked around looking for the strange insect it had just fought.
In the room filled with the scent of books, Mu Qiyu sat down on the edge of the bed, let out a long moan of "Ah~~", lay back on the quilt, tossed around on it with her legs up, and smelled the scent on the quilt.
Seeing that Lu Liangsheng ignored her, she sat up, twisted her legs, and dangled on the edge of the bed, rocking gently, "So boring... Old demon, what are you doing?"
There was no answer from the other end. I could only quietly look at the figure sitting at the desk, not knowing what the other person was doing.
Outside the window, a few birds were jumping on the branches, chirping and singing, while the sunlight poured in through the open window.
The mottled light from the tree branches flickered on the pages of the book, and there was a slight sound of "swish" as the paper turned over.
Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes slightly, and with the help of the midday sun, he once again practiced the magic spell of Qiankun Zhengdao. The familiar magic power flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel indescribably at ease. As for the voice of the woman behind him, it seemed as if he didn't hear it at all.
"Although my cultivation has recovered, I still need to slowly accumulate my mana. Hmm... With the Spirit Gathering Array, it won't take long."
He raised his hand and stretched out a finger to gently hook the water vat under the eaves outside. In the water vat standing outside, ripples appeared on the water surface, and a clear column of water rose up, pulling out the scholar in the window like a small snake. The bird drinking water by the vat flapped its wings and flew up to the branch in fright. Seeing that there was no danger, it blinked its eyes curiously and looked at the window below.
The cool and gentle stream of water brushed over Lu Liangsheng's palms, washing away the dust. Then it swirled and half of the air-conditioned water fell back onto the ground outside, splashing a pool of water.
"Magic is still more useful..."
Lu Liangsheng smiled and took the "Boundless Mountains and Seas" beside him. In the painting, five strange beasts were distributed on various mountaintops, flashing magical light, which echoed the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth attached to the five internal organs in his body.
He frowned slightly. He had been able to unleash the Black Turtle's innate magical powers by using his spirit, energy and soul. Now that his cultivation has recovered, it should be possible too, right
"Although the mana restored is not much, it should be no problem to cast one or two."
He glanced at Qiyou, who was swaying with his legs crossed on the edge of the bed. The latter was staring at him with a smile, leaning his chin on the end of the bed.
"Old demon, you do your thing, I'll just watch for a while."
"Then you see." Lu Liangsheng shook his head, stood up, faced the wall inside the house, turned his hands over, palms facing up, and used his little magic power, but his thoughts were connected to the five beasts.
"fire."
A faint glow of fire appeared on his right palm, the air turned slightly red, and gradually became brighter. The moment it became material, a ball of fire burned in his palm.
The thought came again: "Water!"
On the left hand, water droplets rose up and gathered above the palm, spinning and condensing together to form a water ball with cold air.
Water and fire rose up from his hands, floating on both sides of the scholar and hanging there.
"It's nothing unusual, right?"
Feeling the magic power mixed with demonic power, Mu Qiyu intuitively felt that it was nothing big. It was even not as powerful as a spell that Lu Liangsheng had casually cast before.
"We just want to see how Black Turtle and Bifang control fire." Lu Liangsheng was well-read, experienced, and had learned a lot, so he knew what the woman was talking about. Using the innate magic of the strange beasts was no different from his use of the "Five Elements Taoism", "Resurrection Spell", "Sword Controlling Technique", "Qinghuai Makes Up Dreams", "Nanshui Shiyi", and "Indigo Thunder God Fire" compiled from Qiankun Zhengdao.
Now all of these have been summarized by Lu Liangsheng into "The Right Way of Qiankun" which can be regarded as one of his systems, then "Boundless Mountains and Seas" may not be unable to become his second magic system.
"In the final analysis, magic is not only a means of fighting with others, but also benefits the country and the people. If you use it to deal with enemies, it is not cultivation, it is cultivation of magic."
Lu Liangsheng put away the floating water and fire, smiled and walked to the table to close the book: "If it can be used in a practical way, then no matter what kind of magic it is, it doesn't matter how powerful it is."
While talking with Qiyou, he was also studying and familiarizing himself with the previous Qiankun Zhengdao. Before lunch, he took out the classics and read through them. It would be a good idea to read more knowledge.
Outside the house, mother Li Jinhua used a broom to hit the hen that was running around with a hissing sound, and shouted with her hands on her waist: "Dinner is ready!"
There were shouts in the courtyard. When Sun Yingxian and Zhu Ganglie ran downstairs, Lu Xiaoxian squeezed past the man and the demon, looked at Lu Liangsheng who walked to the door, and said breathlessly:
"Brother, Sister Yuerou is missing, and the weapons hanging in her room are also missing."
Gone
Lu Liangsheng frowned as he walked to the door. From the tone of her voice, Xiaoxian didn't seem to be lying.
