"Master."
Lu Liangsheng turned around and saw the Taoist Toad standing on top of the bookshelf with his webbed feet, looking up at the moonlight. The corners of his mouth twitched. The Toad, who was looking up at the hazy moonlight, also spoke softly at this time: "Liangsheng, let him speak."
The scholar nodded, then turned sideways and pulled Qiyou over to make some space for the wolf demon to see the Toad Taoist. The latter saw the short figure on the bookshelf and visibly let out a breath from his mouth and nose.
"Old Toad, seeing that you live a carefree life, I am a little envious."
"You came here from Black Cloud Mountain just to tell me this?" The Toad Taoist lowered his head from the night sky, wearing a black robe with gold edges, and jumped down from the bookshelf. His eyes slowly half closed, "You are still injured. There are not many people who can hurt you."
The wolf demon had relied on incense to gain enlightenment for hundreds of years and had long been a demon king. There were few demons in the northwest that could defeat him. If he really met a strong opponent, his wolf nature was ferocious and cunning, and his opponent would often be afraid of him and would not dare to fight to the death with him. Now that he was injured, the Toad Taoist who was familiar with him was a little confused.
Gongsun Liao didn't care about the monks or the eight big men around him. He just glanced at the woman in the black skirt, went back to the sedan, brushed his cloak, and sat down.
"Not many, but not none. I encountered one a few days ago. My believer was killed by a Sui general. Before he died, he called me out to fight with him. The result was..."
Under his thick beard, his lips were open, and his fangs moved up and down lightly: "... As a result, I was injured by the opponent's magic weapon. The divine power on it was surging, and it only took one blow to hurt my soul..."
As he spoke, the wolf demon raised his head and looked at the Toad Taoist.
“Old Toad, I told you before that the great catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, but my Yuanhun appeared over there and clearly felt another strange power. Bloody and violent power is taking shape, which is emanating from that Sui man.”
Lu Liangsheng knew that there were many Taoists in the Central Plains, but he only knew of one person, Yang Su, who held an important position in the army, so he couldn't help but frowning slightly.
"You mean that person? How old is he? What does he look like?"
The wolf demon looked at the scholar and answered, "He is in his twenties, handsome, and looks very imposing in his armor. He doesn't look like an ordinary general. The magic weapon in his hand is a heavy sword, shining with golden light and covered with engravings. As far as I know, he has killed 100,000 Turks before."
Killed 100,000 people successively... Lu Liangsheng frowned even more.
Such a level of cultivation is probably something that only a few cultivators can achieve, and even Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in Chang'an, cannot do it. Such a powerful level of cultivation should not be achieved by an unknown person.
While the scholar was lost in thought, the Toad Taoist walked past his feet, then stopped and hummed.
“After being a demon king for so long, I’m afraid your cultivation has declined. You came to me so that I can join forces with you to deal with this man? Hahaha… If those younger demons knew about this, wouldn’t they laugh their heads off!”
"It is true that we are joining forces, but I am conserving my strength for the great catastrophe that is about to befall the heaven and earth."
The wolf demon clenched his fists and smashed them on the handrail of the sedan chair. He stood up dragging his cloak with him, his eyes serious: "That man has a divine power all over his body, plus the sword in his hand, two different divine powers combined, I can't handle it..."
Just as he was about to say the word "don't stop", he saw in his peripheral vision that the scholar who was in deep thought at the side suddenly raised his arm, and magical power flowed from the book in his hand. In an instant, all his hairs stood up, as if he had sensed danger, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the scholar.
"what you do?!"
As the pages of the book rustled in Lu Liangsheng's hands and unfolded to reveal a picture of fairy-like, green and rolling mountains, words came from the scholar's mouth.
"The Sui general you mentioned is my disciple, Yu..."
The pages of the book stretched out from his hand and unfolded. The moment he said "wen", a series of magical lights flashed across the picture. When Gongsun Liao heard that it was his disciple, he became alert. Feeling the fluctuation of magical power, he immediately turned around and flew out into the darkness behind him, riding on the evil wind, and kicked up a stream of yellow sand and rushed backwards.
And at the back, on the unfolded painting, a pale blue light bloomed, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and chasing in the direction of the wolf demon's escape, and disappearing into the mountains and forests together.
The sudden change made Toad Taoist a little confused. Aren’t they talking? Why did they start fighting
"Liangsheng, I have nothing to ask him yet!"
However, the scholar on the side did not answer. He looked at the direction where the wolf demon fled, and stretched out his other hand from his sleeve. A thumb-sized scale shone brightly.
"Master, these are just a few words, don't take them seriously!"
Lu Liangsheng clenched the dragon scales in his palm, and his figure blurred and disappeared while holding "Boundless Mountains and Seas". He then reappeared at the edge of the forest more than ten feet away, and followed the fleeing figure into the forest in the blink of an eye.
…
The moonlight shone through the gap in the forest. In the dim and eerie light, a gust of evil wind blew through the forest. Feeling that the magical light that had frightened him was not chasing him, he stopped under a tree on a cliff and suppressed his injuries.
"I didn't expect that the Sui general was actually the apprentice of this scholar... He really protects his own people. If I hadn't been injured, I would have fought him."
The discomfort in his body eased a lot. Gongsun Liao looked around, covered his chest, and stumbled to the edge of the cliff. A few loose pieces of broken rocks were stepped on and fell into the misty ravine below.
"Fortunately, there is a mountain stream separating us, which can be used to delay the scholar."
A faint sound of water could be heard from the surging clouds below, and people thought it was caused by the falling rocks. The wolf demon rode the evil wind and left the cliff. In the gaps in the clouds below, a long black shadow suddenly flashed.
The next second, the air roared and flew to the middle of the mountain stream. Gongsun Liao subconsciously lowered his eyes and what caught his eyes was a thick long tail that broke through the mist and brought up a string of water droplets into the sky. The moment it fell, the long tail covered with inky black scales swept across the wolf demon's chest and flew back in the black wind like a cannonball, returning to the cliff where it left, with another loud bang, and crashed into a big tree, falling heavily to the ground, rolling more than ten times before stopping.
Gongsun Liao opened his eyes wide, pursed his lips, and stared in a daze at the bright moon in the night sky that was gradually obscured by drifting clouds. He was unable to come back to his senses for a moment.
Rustle…
He heard footsteps walking out of the woods and stared blankly at the night sky. A figure walked into the range of his peripheral vision. Before he could get up, the figure standing over there opened a book, and the light blue magic light suddenly illuminated the wolf demon, and a burst of white smoke instantly rose from his body.
"Uhhh..."
Gongsun Liao half-knelt and raised his arms to cover his head. He screamed heart-wrenchingly and his body suddenly seemed to be flattened and pulled into the painting in the book.
Wow!
Lu Liangsheng closed the book in his hand, and only the screams were still echoing in the mountain stream over there. "Boundless Mountains and Seas" trembled a few times in his hand, and the struggling sounds inside finally stopped. The scholar raised his hand, saluted towards the pair of red "lanterns" that lit up in the clouds and mist over there, flicked his robe sleeves, and turned back to the camp.
The bonfire flickered, and in the light, Lu Liangsheng's figure flashed and passed by the eight people, and he spoke almost without stopping.
"Uncle Pan, you stay here and wait for Lao Sun to come back, then go to Chang'an to meet me."
The Toad Taoist followed and looked around: "Liangsheng, where is Gongsun Liao?"
Lu Liangsheng walked to the bookshelf and shook the book in his hand: "Put it in there." After saying that, he threw it into the bookshelf, and then moved it to the old donkey's back and placed it.
"Whether what this demon said is true or not can only be verified when we get there. If it is true, we will release him and apologize. If it is false, he must have evil intentions, so we have no choice but to let him stay in there."
Actually, Lu Liangsheng had his own considerations for making such a sudden move. Firstly, the matter of Master Wuyuan was weighing on his mind and he had to be on guard. Secondly, if that person was really Yuwen Tuo, he had to find out what he wanted to do by killing 100,000 people. If he was used by others, the situation would be troublesome.
Moreover… The Old Mother of Mount Li said that if a cultivator meddles in the affairs of a human dynasty, there will be great retribution, and Qu Yuanfeng is the best proof of this.
As for the 100,000 Turks, he didn't take them seriously.
After all, the Turks burned, killed and looted on the border last year, so if they died, they died.
"Master, you go with Laolu and Qiyou, Liangsheng will go first!"
After closing the door where the classic books were stored, Lu Liangsheng summoned Yuelong. The light from his fingertips lit up and he quickly wrote on the sword. His cuffs kept shaking. At the same time, the word "Chi" took shape in the air, and the "wind" refined in the "wind, forest, fire and mountain" of the sword quickly covered the buzzing and exploding sword body.
"rise!"
With a thought in his mind, Yuelong Sword suddenly grabbed the scholar's arm and instantly disappeared from the spot with Lu Liangsheng, leaving behind a trail of light. Both the man and the sword turned into a stream of light and rushed into the night sky.
The wind is howling.
"Wow~~" The four scholars hiding behind the eight big men didn't care about the strong wind and dust in their faces. They stared with their mouths wide open at the bright light flying into the sky, flashing in the sky and then disappearing.
“… This… This is ascension to heaven!!”
On the other side, the light spot that flew into the night sky disappeared. Mu Qiyu turned her skirt and flew into the bookshelf, turning into a strange-looking brush again. The Toad Taoist retracted his sight, turned around quickly, spread his webbed feet and ran towards the old donkey. He kicked the ground with his webbed feet, and his short body pounced on the rope hanging from the compartment. In an instant, the old donkey pawed with its hooves, and its hind legs were slightly bent. Blue-white arcs of electricity appeared on its hooves, scaring the eight strong men and four scholars over there to take a step back.
The next moment.
Whoosh—
A flash of lightning shot out in a straight line right under everyone's eyes.
"Ahh... Slow down... Slow down... Old husband... Still... Still... You haven't gone up yet..."
Amid the forests and mountains where lightning flashed, the stumbling sounds dissipated in the wind. Toad Taoist priest held the rope and floated behind the bookshelf like a kite, and screams rang out one after another.
"This old man... next time I will... I will beat you to death... stupid ass... ass, ah ah quack—"
