Chapter 22 Lu Sheng
The sky is as bright as water, and the moon is as bright as a mirror.

Li Yu opened the scroll under the moonlight.

After about a few breaths, the scroll suddenly shone brightly, like a shadow of the moon on it.

The next moment, the light enveloped Li Yu.Time and space flow, and the surroundings have changed.

He was sitting under a big poplar tree next to the official road, not far in front of him was a village.

Small bridges and flowing water, Sangyu people.

It's time to eat at night, and the smoke from the cooking is curling up.

Li Yu looked around, and saw a shepherd boy sitting on the back of an ox, and a farmer returning home with a load. It was such a leisurely pastoral scene.

It makes people yearn for it, and they want to follow it and never return.

"[System]: Living in the '[Lu Sheng] world' time limit: 2 days, 23:59."

Only for three days?

Li Yuben felt a little relaxed, but immediately became nervous.

He has already judged [Moonlight Scroll·Lu Sheng].

The description of [scroll] - "butterfly into the pillow, or mistaken for old man Zhuang", has the sense of sight of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies and a pillow of yellow beams.Contacting the word "Lu Sheng" again, Li Yu confirmed that [Lu Sheng] was the story world of "The Pillow Story".

"The Story of the Pillow" is about a Lu Sheng who met the Taoist Lu Weng in the Gandan Shanqian Inn and lamented his poverty.Lu Weng took a celadon pillow and put Lu Sheng to sleep, while the owner was cooking.Lu Sheng enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his dream, but when he woke up, the restaurant's food was not yet cooked.

When Li Yu came to this world, the first thing he had to do was to look for Lu Sheng.

The story of "The Story of the Pillow" takes place in the city of Danqian in Ganqian, and Lu Sheng is a passer-by in the city.Right now, if you go to Ganqian Danqian City, there is a high probability that you won't find anyone.

And the [scroll] left him here, Feigan Shandan City, there should be some calculations.

Li Yu got up, ready to go to the village ahead to inquire about news.

He took a step and stopped.

With his short hair, if he walked over directly, he might be mistaken for an escaped prisoner.

Li Yu turned around, hid behind the tree, took out the "Bronze Curling Knife" from the [Fine Broken Square Pot], and cut off his Maocuntou randomly.Then he took out the brick powder used for gargling and rubbed his lips to make them white and blue.

Finally, when it rolled to the ground, it was covered with mud and grass clippings.

Still not satisfied with this, he grabbed the soil and wiped his arms and ankles, and even patted his face.

Li Yu was satisfied when his fingernails were filled with black mud. He got up, put away the copper knife and brick powder, and walked towards the village in disorder.

The story of "Story in the Pillow" took place in the seventh year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

Tang Xuanzong is also the Tang Minghuang often mentioned in the opera, the seventh year of Kaiyuan, which is 719 AD.

At the time of the famous "Kaiyuan Prosperity", it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Yao Chong, the "prime saver", and Song Jing, who was "straight with golden chopsticks", ruled the world together.

Of course, this is not a peaceful time.

In July of the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Guo Zhiyun, the governor of Longyou, defeated Tubo.

In the same month, the Tianbing Army was set up in Taiyuan, and [-] troops were gathered to prevent Tie Le from making trouble.

In February of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, the imperial edict moved the Hengye Army in Weizhou to the north of Taihang Mountain, and garrisoned [-] troops to guard against Turks.

The state affairs are like this, and the people's livelihood is also rare to be truly "happy and peaceful".

Li Yu approached the village.

His down-and-out appearance quickly attracted the attention of the villagers.

Several people embraced an elder and came up to ask about the situation.

Li Yu said that he was a poor scholar who had tried and failed many times. When he returned home from the capital, he was attacked by bandits.Not to mention all the money and things were taken away, people were also humiliated, with their crowns cut and hair shaved, as if they were tortured.

He returned home without face, so he wandered in the wilderness.Today, I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it, so I came to the village to beg for food.

The elder is the head of the village here, and he felt pitiful after listening to Li Yu's narration of what had happened.Look at him, although he is in a mess, but his skin is thin and tender, not like the grass and grass in the rivers and lakes.

I asked some more questions, and the answers were well-founded, and he was a talented person.

The village chief felt relieved and took Li Yu back to the village, where he took a bath first.

After that, Li Yu put on new clothes and wrapped his hair in a furrow, and before he got out of the room, he was praised by the village chief—"Young Master Ruyu" and "Mr. Zhuo Zhuolang".

The food and wine were all prepared, and the village head led Li Yu to the table.

Having experienced "eating banquets" several times in the late Han Dynasty, Li Yu's performance at the table was not bad.It's just that it took a lot of thought for him to force himself into a gesture of unbearable hunger.

Full of wine and food, Li Yu pretended to leave.

The village head tried to persuade Li Yu to stay, but Li Yu followed suit and did not leave.

At the banquet just now, Li Yu already knew that the name of the village was Nanbaishe, which was named after the 800-year-old cypress tree at the entrance of the village.Most of the villagers have the surname Liang.

Li Yu asked if he had his last name.The village head said, there are two families surnamed Lu.

Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked casually, "But he's from a foreign country?"

The mayor said no.In the original Nanbai Society, the Liang and Lu surnames were almost the same.Only in the past hundred years, the Lu surname has not been prosperous, and only two households have settled down.One is a butcher and the other is a farmer.

Speaking of this, the village chief paused and said that the son of the farmer was in a similar situation to Li Yu.When I was young, I was full of poetry and books, and I grew up, but I failed many times.

Li Yudao, who has never met before, has been sympathetic to each other, and is recommended by an elder who dares to love.Let his two "sick" people get acquainted.

The village head had nothing to do, but said: "Lu Langjun went to Ganqian Danqian to sell calligraphy, I don't know if he will come back tonight."

Li Yu saw that the time limit was not enough, so he decided to wait and see.

In the evening, someone came to report that Mr. Lu Lang had returned.So the village chief led Li Yu to see him.

The farmer's son is called Lu Ying, named Cuizhi, with a short brown scarf and an ordinary appearance. He is feeding the horses with fodder.

Li Yu bowed to see him: "There is a guest in Jianghu, I have seen brother Lu."

When Lu Ying heard the village head's explanation, she felt sympathetic immediately, and said: "Brother Li, if you don't think the shabby house is simple, then you can live here. Wouldn't it be nice for you and me to go out at night with wine pincers and candles?"

Li Yu clapped his hands and said hello.

The village chief left.Lu Sheng was unmarried and lived away from his parents. After Li Yu helped Lu Sheng feed his horses and carry water, the two began to talk about heaven and earth.

From Shangshu Dayi's discussion on Cangjie's three articles, from Qinhuai Restaurant to Kunlun Xianshan, he really talked freely and talked about everything.

Lu Ying said: "It's really fun to have a discussion with Brother Zhihuan!"

Zhihuan is a word that Li Yu gave himself."Xiandi" is the title of the two after they became brothers.

The two were able to talk for so long, and Lu Ying was still so "fun" for two reasons——

First, Li Yu's intentions are not pure, and his intentions are flattering; second, although Lu Sheng claims to be "aspiring to learn, rich in entertainment, but he was only young when he was young", he is actually not good at learning.Otherwise, with Li Yu's half-hearted level of Chinese studies, he would have already missed the bottom line.

When Lu Ying met Li Yu, she immediately became her confidant.Such as Yu Boya to Zhong Ziqi, Bao Shuya to Guan Zhong.Guessing orders every day, drinking and singing, is very happy.

Of course, it was Lu Ying who was really happy, and most of Li Yu was anxious.

He was also convinced.

This Lu Cuizhi is really good at chattering, after more than two days of effort, there is not a single topic that is repeated.Li Yu seriously suspected that this son failed the imperial examination because he had read too many story books, legends of Tang Dynasty, and strange novels.

"[System]: Living in the '[Lu Sheng] world' time limit: 7:43."

On the morning of the third day, when Li Yu saw the system prompt, his anxiety almost overflowed.

When he got up early in the morning, he wanted to find an excuse to trick Lu Ying into going to Gan's and Shan's, but he saw that the other party came to look for him first.

Lu Ying looked ashamed, and said: "My dear brother, I am ashamed of my brother, I am too shy to entertain guests. Let me go to the city of Gandan Danchan to sell some calligraphy and paintings, and then I will have a drink with my dear brother."

Lu Ying didn't have any family background at all, and she drank and ate food these two days, and the little furniture she usually saved had already been spent.If they don't go out to earn some money, the two of them will starve to death in the house.

When Li Yu heard this, he immediately said: "Yuyi has nothing to gain, and I am ashamed to bother my brother so far. I hope that my brother will allow me to go to Gandan Danyan together, and I will do my best, and also hope for peace of mind."

Lu Ying felt that she didn't treat her well enough, and she didn't want her "virtuous brother" to rush around.Li Yu pleaded several times before he complied in shame.

Lu Ying's green horse, old and weak, was overwhelmed and could not carry two people.Li Yu went to the village chief to borrow another horse.

The two got on their horses and went to Gansha and Dansha together.

But at this time, outside the city of Danqian, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a crown and long beard, pinching yarrow in his hand, stood under the scorching sun, his face full of doubts.

A few days ago, he counted as one!

Now how to become an even number?
