The night wind, mixed with bursts of insect chirping, caressed the woods. Under the cold moonlight, the Moon Sword, shining with a bright magic light, descended from the night sky.
The sword energy pushed aside the mud and the moment it touched the ground, a scholar in a green shirt and white robe on the hilt tapped his toes lightly and floated down. He waved his sword finger and the long sword on the ground rose from the ground with a hum, drew an arc in the air, and was steadily inserted into the scabbard. He let out an inappropriate "Oh~~" and was patted by Lu Liangsheng before he behaved himself.
"Young Master!"
Hong Lian's voice rang out from the other side of the woods, and she came over waving her long sleeves, slowly landing on the ground. Sensing that Lu Liangsheng was not injured over there, she showed joy on her face, and hurried over to bow.
"My lord, you are alright. I am glad."
The moonlight flowed like water over the approaching figure. Hong Lian raised her head, but before she could react, she was embraced and exclaimed in a low voice: "Young Master..."
Lu Liangsheng stroked the woman's thin back and said, "It was just a false alarm. Don't worry. That monkey did it on purpose."
"No..." If Hong Lian could blush, she would have blushed completely by now. She buried her face in the scholar's arms, twisted and turned for a few times, unable to break free, and whispered as softly as a mosquito: "Uncle, Qiyou and Qingfeng are still here."
Uh... I almost forgot.
Lu Liangsheng let go of the woman in his arms and looked over there at the forest that had just been burned. Qingfeng covered his eyes, revealing a little vision through his fingers. When he saw his master looking at him, he quickly closed his eyes again, turned his face away, and shouted crisply: "Master, Qingfeng is very good, I didn't peek, if you don't believe me, ask them!"
The little finger pointed to a big tree, and eight big men came out from behind, holding the clothes they had just taken off, squatting behind the tree, revealing their fleshy faces, and laughing.
"Old demon!"
Qiyou stepped out of the woods with a dark face, glanced at Honglian who was beside the scholar, stretched out his arms, pouted and muttered: "Old demon, I want a hug too."
"good!"
In the past, Lu Liangsheng would have tapped her with his fingers for sure, but before that, when the monkey blew out the waves of fire that swept down, it was this silly woman who conjured up countless stems and branches to protect Hong Lian, Lu Pan and the others, so there was nothing wrong with a hug.
He held Qiyou in his arms, hugged her like Hong Lian for a while, and then let her go, "Let's go, let's go up and take a look together."
Lu Liangsheng turned around and walked a few steps, picked up the demon pill that fell on the ground, put it in his sleeve pocket, and called Qingfeng, Lu Pan and the other eight people over there to go to Huangfeng Mountain together.
There was no path on the mountain, and there were steep cliffs on all sides. No one could climb up except the old donkey who could rely on four hooves, so he had to stay below and breathe heavily in dissatisfaction. Lu Pan and his eight companions were strong and had quite a bit of experience in climbing this mountain. When Lu Liangsheng brought Hong Lian and Qi You up, the breeze outside the cliff transformed into a goshawk and was still circling over their heads, shouting at them to try harder.
"Let's go in first."
Hearing Lu Liangsheng's words, the two girls looked at each other, shoulder to shoulder, and squeezed behind the scholar, following him into the cave with a huge gap. At this time, there were not many monsters left inside. While the fight was going on outside, they secretly ran away with their beast bodies showing their true forms. As for those who had not left yet, they were seriously injured and had passed away.
The cave was filled with blood.
Lu Liangsheng looked at the human remains scattered all over the ground, waved his robe to sweep away the blood pool over there, raised his hand towards the stalactite in the middle, pulled it down from the dome, crushed it, covered the blood pool, and buried the piled up corpses.
“Amitabha…”
Fo Lianzun, who was leaning against the other side of the cave, woke up at some point and watched everything the scholar did. He raised a seal with one arm, stood up with difficulty, bowed his head and worshiped.
"National Master, be merciful."
"My country's master doesn't like foreigners, but he doesn't want to see their bodies abandoned. They should be buried in peace. They don't deserve the mercy that the master speaks of."
People who practice Taoism and Buddhism have much stronger physical fitness than ordinary people. Although losing an arm will cause great damage to their vitality, they will not die. What's more, the old monk has already used a secret method to stop the bleeding, so Lu Liangsheng didn't say much to him.
"The Tuyuhun envoy team was killed by a monster. When this national teacher returns to the court, he will report the whole matter to His Majesty so that the master can return to Tuyuhun to give an explanation."
Fu Lianzun fell silent, knowing that his going to Chang'an with Prince Murong had displeased the other party. Now that the other party could convey the message to the Emperor of Sui and explain the situation to his majesty in writing, it was already repaying evil with kindness. Thinking of this, he lowered his head again, covering his broken arm that was still bleeding, staggered to the cave entrance, turned around and bowed again.
"Master Lu, goodbye."
Lu Liangsheng bowed, turned and walked to the innermost part of the cave. From afar, he saw a chubby figure sitting on a pile of rocks. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the top of the white wolf demon's head. He said something while healing the other's wounds.
"… When did I ever hide this from you? I told you that the demon pill had been restored, but none of you believed me. Why are you blaming me?"
"Alas~"
"Why are you sighing? I didn't say anything to you. Anyway, the demon pill is ready and given to me. Just treat it as a snack. I think you have done a great job!"
The Toad Taoist exerted a little force with his hands, causing Gongsun Liao to twitch his mouth several times in pain. Just as he was about to turn around and curse, the old toad held his head and turned him back, just in time to see the scholar coming over.
"Your apprentice is here."
Huh? The chubby old man was startled, and when he saw the figure coming from the corner of his eye, he quickly spread his legs, pressed one hand on the top of the old wolf's head, and raised the smoke, and put one hand on his knee, straightened his body, and spoke majestically.
"Is that crazy monkey gone?"
"Let's go." Lu Liangsheng smiled and nodded to the White Wolf King, then he raised his hands to greet his master who was sitting on the pile of rocks with a big golden sword. The Toad Taoist nodded and clapped his fat hands on his knees.
"If Liangsheng hadn't stopped me, that monkey would have had a taste of the power of my purple gold gourd. If I see it again in the future, Liangsheng must not interfere."
"Yes, Liangsheng will remember this."
Lu Liangsheng responded, and then said with a smile, "By the way, Master, there is no need to meet him. The monkey is the one whose hair changed before, and it just happened to return to my sleeve pocket. Since Master is not satisfied yet, then I..."
As he spoke, the scholar stretched out his hand to touch his wide sleeves. The Toad Taoist stared at him and interrupted him quickly: "Wait!" Realizing his gaffe, he straightened his face and softened his tone.
"I am exhausted today. You see, I am healing this old wolf again. I just had a fight. I don't have time. Forget it today. I won't fight you. I'll do it another day."
Hahaha-
Gongsun Liao, who was having his head pressed down to heal his wound, burst into laughter. After a moment, he felt a pain in his head and hissed in pain. He then saw the old toad next to him with ferocious eyes and a hideous expression. He quickly closed his mouth, held back his laughter, and sat upright without looking away.
This two hundred year old monster made Lu Liangsheng, Hong Lian and Qi You chuckle. Hong Lian couldn't hold it back any longer and turned her face to the side with a sweet smile. However, when she turned her sight, she saw a lonely figure leaning against the mountain wall with only a shell of skin lying there.
The smile gradually faded.
At the side, Lu Liangsheng turned around and called her: "Hong Lian, what are you looking at?"
"she!"
Hearing Hong Lian's voice, Lu Liangsheng followed her gaze and looked over there. Hua Hongyi was leaning against the wall of the cave, her eyelids drooping weakly, also watching everything here.
"Sir, I want to talk to her, can I?"
Lu Liangsheng also had complicated emotions towards Hua Hongyi. He pursed his lips, and the playful atmosphere just now dissipated. He sighed, held Honglian's hand, and whispered:
"Go ahead."
