In the early morning of the blue sky, the clouds in the east were turning pale.
A ray of golden morning light illuminates the earth, the edge of the light pushes away the blue sky and envelops the densely packed houses and buildings of all sizes.
The huge Chang'an gradually became noisy.
Ducks swam across the Hibiscus Pond, and the reeds on the shore were growing more autumnal. On the raised terrain in the distance, the pines and cypresses of the Taoist temple were turning yellow, and leaves were falling one by one. Shouts of "huh" and "huh" could be heard in the broad square, and the light-colored Taoist robe fluttered in the sunlight. Sun Yingxian leaped and flew, making sounds of breaking through the air, and the fallen leaves were all shaken to fall in one direction.
In the attic standing at the back, Lu Liangsheng opened the window and saw the Taoist practicing boxing below, who stopped and waved his hands.
"Mr. Lu, come down and practice with me!"
Lu Liangsheng stood in front of the window, stretched comfortably, his bones crackling, and smiled at Sun Yingxian.
… Or maybe he has free time and doesn’t have to think too much.
… Why think about these things? You have to walk your own path.
After thinking about it, he shook his head, put aside the previous thought, turned around, Qi You pounced on him from the couch, hugged Lu Liangsheng's neck, and rubbed his chest affectionately a few times.
"Old demon... When did you come back? How come I didn't know?"
"He came back yesterday and carried someone to bed and covered her with a quilt." The scholar smiled and patted the woman's head, put her down, and went to fetch water to wash. He had been busy for a while and experienced many things, especially the death of Emperor Yang Jian, which made him feel melancholy.
The old man was invited again and again by everyone from the prime minister to the emperor. This feeling of being valued is difficult to fade away with the passage of time and the absence of people.
"The person is gone, and all that remains is to see who will become the future emperor, Yang Guang."
Water stains dripped down his cheeks and chin into the copper basin. Lu Liangsheng looked at his face reflected in the rippling water, smiled, and reached out to take the towel to wipe it.
"It's time to calm down and focus on enlightenment."
The scholar hung up the towel and turned around to look at the Qilin cloak hanging on the rack in the corner. Before, at Chengyun Gate in Cangyu Mountain, Taoist Master Yunji seemed to have seen something of it and asked him to take a closer look at the robe.
Now there is still no clue about the matter of the evil star, the corpse demon Chen Fu has been handed over to the City God, and the emperor has also gone. Now that I have some free time, I might as well find something to do.
He took off the Qilin cloak and cast a spell to suspend it in the air. Lu Liangsheng took two steps back, waved his robe sleeves, moved the table and chair behind him to one side, and sat down cross-legged.
A trace of spiritual consciousness moved out of the body, like a silk thread moving in the air. The moment it touched the floating robe, the Qilin cloak's magic light flashed by. Lu Liangsheng suddenly trembled, and the finger gestures on his knees scattered. The few strands of spiritual consciousness that had moved out of the body suddenly shrank back rapidly.
Lu Liangsheng opened his eyes and couldn't help but lean back.
He could wield the Qiankun Sleeves above, but since they were not his own, he thought he could easily go deep inside and merge with the magic weapon, but in the end, he was bounced back as soon as he touched it.
"Nothing can intrude upon you... not even mine?"
Thinking of this, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves, went to sit at the desk, and swept his hand across the table, revealing a few books in the empty space.
He found the book about Lu Yuan's life experience and opened it again, reading it carefully from the moment he realized his master was trying to take over his body. Qi You, who was bored, came closer to him, and Lu Liangsheng raised his hand and put it on her face, pushing her aside.
"Go play with my master, or go down there by yourself."
"oh."
Qi You looked at the old demon holding the book motionlessly, a smile on her lips, but she did not leave. She turned around, spread her skirt, and sat down quietly in front of the round table that had been moved away. She supported her chin and watched him quietly flipping through the book.
'No wonder Hong Lian likes it so much... It's really pretty. If it hasn't recovered yet... It's fine this way, I don't have to think about anything...'
The sunlight shone through the window and onto a blank page. Lu Liangsheng watched the vertical lines of words appear and disappear on the paper, and quickly wrote down some key things in his mind.
"Live as long as the sky, and be the ruler of the world." "Kill the auspicious beast, peel off its scales to make a magic weapon called a cloak." "... If you are not affected by the Heavenly Way's Reincarnation Eye, you can hide the secrets in it."
"The key to the wisdom of man is hidden..."
…Live as long as the sky, and be the ruler of the world. Seeing this eight characters again, Lu Liangsheng frowned. He first heard about it from the late Emperor Yang Jian, who said it was said by the First Emperor.
The second time I saw it was in this book of Lu Yuan’s life experience. These eight words were also mentioned at the end. Could it be that there are some secrets hidden in it
Lu Liangsheng subconsciously looked at the Qilin cloak. Qi You, who was sitting at the round table, raised her eyebrows and turned her head to follow the scholar's gaze.
"Old demon, what are you looking at?"
Over there, Lu Liangsheng put down his book, put his hands behind his back and walked to the cloak, raised his head and looked at it carefully. According to the key sentence he found, the cloak was made of Qilin skin, which could hide from the eyes of heaven and hide secrets. The spiritual wisdom of human beings should be the key to opening...
Hearing Qiyou's questioning voice, the scholar suddenly understood the situation and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
The vertical red mark between his eyebrows was given to him by Lu Yuan before he disappeared. If it was just to give him some magic power, it would not be necessary. Moreover, this place is where the spiritual wisdom of human beings is hidden. Lu Liangsheng vaguely feels that this may be the so-called key to exploring the Qilin cloak.
After realizing this, he suddenly felt excited. He pinched his fingers and summoned a light of magic at the philtrum. A ray of light gradually bloomed between his eyebrows and shot towards the Qilin cloak.
moment.
Lu Liangsheng seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, standing there motionless. The things around him, Qi You with his eyes open, and the Toad Taoist who was just waking up with his mouth open and closed, all seemed to be frozen beside him.
Or, it separated from the previous world, and then turned into stars and scattered, and the surroundings turned into a void, leaving only Lu Liangsheng and the Qilin cloak.
"Is this... the small world inside? No, it should be my consciousness entering the Qilin Cloak."
Within his field of vision, the sky and earth were empty, and it was almost the same as the small world he had seen when he had formed the golden elixir, except that there was no golden elixir with a rotating nebula.
At this moment, the Qilin cloak suddenly burst into light and enveloped the scholar. The next moment, the surrounding void rolled up like smoke. Lu Liangsheng stood in the black mist and suddenly saw something.
Slowly outlined in the black fog.
Boom boom boom—
Countless footsteps advanced slowly to the rhythm of the war drums, long spears stood in a row, and under the big flag with the word "Qin" painted on it, a majestic figure appeared on the chariot. He spread his sleeves, raised the sword in his hand, and slashed down across the scorching sun.
"Unify the six kingdoms and usher in a prosperous era for mankind. Kill!"
"kill-"
"kill-"
The overwhelming shouts gathered into a torrent that shook the heavens and the earth. Countless figures, holding weapons high, rushed madly towards the distant city. Smoke rose, city walls collapsed, and the mad frenzy swept to the next enemy city.
The smoke of war in China was gradually being unified.
Not long after, the figure standing on the chariot walked up to the Fengshan Terrace step by step, stood on the top of Mount Tai, holding the jade seal and looking at the sky.
"Listen carefully, everyone. I, Ying Zheng, will establish the Great Qin and become the emperor of Jin. I will live as long as the heavens and rule the world!"
