Volume 2: Miaomiao Scholar, indignant as a mountain, smashes the throne room Chapter 059: Suffering from Lack of Education
A huge shadow was hidden in the darkness, and its height seemed to be as high as the city wall. This scene would make people tremble with fear no matter where it was placed.
"Gu..."
That was the sound of swallowing saliva. The old couple under the eaves almost collapsed and sat down. They had lived their whole lives. At first, they thought that the magic of the wizard they invited was magical and eye-opening, but then there was the female ghost. As for the outline of the giant beast crouching in the darkness, they only had one thought in their minds: how did it get into the city...
In the courtyard, Taoist Yangming stared at the scholar standing in front of the giant beast. His peripheral vision was also alert to the terrifying outline. He slowly raised his arms and arched them with his left arm around his right arm.
"I am Yangming, and I have never met you before. Why are you looking for trouble?"
This was not the first or second time Lu Liangsheng had encountered such a situation, so he was quite experienced. He spread his sleeves to the left and right, smiled and bowed in return of the greeting.
"I am just a scholar, not worthy of being called a Taoist friend, but the Taoist's last sentence is a bit wrong. Whether it is a bad thing or a good thing, you should admit it when you have done it. Or do you feel guilty and dare not say it out loud?"
What a sharp tongue...
Taoist Yangming couldn't help but twitching his eyes. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he was directly at a disadvantage. The scholar smiled and bowed when he saw him, which made it difficult for him to take action. There was also a big guy standing behind him.
It would be a shame to attack someone without knowing their background, unless you are really stubborn.
"...wait and see." Taoist Yangming held the dustpan tightly, his Adam's apple rolling.
Under the eaves on one side of the courtyard, Zhang Dongming was terrified. He was a businessman and had a keen eye. He saw that the Taoist was losing the upper hand, and then he looked at the scholar who was surrounded by negative energy.
"This... master..."
The old man stood up tremblingly and cupped his hands: "It is true that we were responsible for the matter of the Zhou Mansion, but there are also difficulties in it."
Lu Liangsheng's mouth curled up a smile, and he was happy in his heart. He raised his hand and bowed to the old man, saying: "Liangsheng thanks you for your open-mindedness!"
Immediately.
Looking at the Taoist opposite him, Taoist Yangming's face turned ugly when he heard this. He glanced at the eaves and started cursing in his heart.
"This idiot!!"
Fu Chen waved his hand, took a step forward and shouted at the scholar: "Since we already know, there is nothing to talk about..."
Just as he said, "There's nothing to talk about."
The darkness behind the scholar twisted, and a huge head slowly popped out and entered the sight of everyone . Even the maids and servants in the distant side courtyard could see it clearly. They all screamed in panic and ran around.
A man with a hairy face and red eyes with a fierce look suddenly raised his huge palm and slapped the ground. There was a loud bang, and an old tree nearby crackled and shook violently.
The giant face stretched forward and lowered slightly, with its densely packed fangs opened, and sticky liquid dripped from the tips of its teeth.
"Roar--"
The fishy wind was strong and the roar like a tiger's roar shook the courtyard.
Crash!
The two rows of houses nearby were shaking slightly, tiles were sliding down, and debris was piled all over the ground.
The horrifying roar of a beast spread. In the distant streets, lights came on in the windows of every house. Some people leaned out to check. On the long street, a horse team rushing towards this side stopped their horses.
Hiss!
The horses neighed loudly, and the mounts stamped their hooves restlessly and circled in places. As the detectives hurried to comfort them, Zuo Zhengyang, who was in the lead, turned his horse around and stroked its mane.
"What was that noise just now?"
There was fear in his eyes. Even the roars of wild beasts in the mountains were not as loud and strange as this one. It shook the blood in his body to the point of churning.
"Could it be Lu Liangsheng who did it?"
Thinking of the mysterious death of Chen Yaoke three years ago, Zuo Zhengyang did not dare to be careless and turned around to give orders to the detectives.
"Go and buy a black dog from a nearby house to collect its blood. The rest of you, follow me first!"
The horses galloped out at full speed, and the sound of horse hooves was loud on the street.
…
"Master Yangming, do you still want to take action?"
In the courtyard of Zhang's mansion, Lu Liangsheng reached out and touched the huge human face with thick green mane next to him.
There was complete silence all around, and everyone was looking at the Taoist who was about to take action.
You won’t really fight, will you?
Taoist Yangming's robe was soaked with sweat. He was almost choked by the bloody mouth he had just faced. He wiped the sweat off his face.
Damn it... am I the one who wants to hit you? It was obviously you who came here!!
In this confrontation, the Taoist priest did not dare to show any fear on his face, and he politely saluted his hands and said, "Since Mr. Zhang has said so, I will naturally admit it. The matter in Zhou Mansion was indeed done by me. After all, saving people comes first, so I can't care about so much."
"There are urgent things first."
Lu Liangsheng nodded. He was always humble, and he was not annoyed when he saw the other party admit it. His tone was calm, as if he was discussing academic matters on a daily basis.
"However, you and I are both cultivators, but you are acting recklessly without regard for the lives of ordinary people. Taoist priest, isn't this a bit too much?"
Taoist Yangming looked under the eaves, his mind racing as he tried to answer this question. On that day, he accepted money from Zhang Dongming to save his son. In fact, he also had his eyes on the spiritual energy overflowing from the underground of the Zhou Mansion, but due to the relationship between the two families, he couldn't just force it. He had to force it little by little, sucking the spiritual energy into the puppet and bringing it back.
It did have a significant impact on Miss Zhou, but so what... It's just that someone has come to my doorstep now, and I dare not easily test the other party's background. My level of cultivation is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but I always have some concerns when dealing with that person, not to mention that there is a Rakshasa ghost next to him, a ferocious beast that is definitely not an ordinary one.
When he was asked this question, it was obvious that the scholar wanted him to give an explanation.
"What should I do...what should I do...I don't usually have to use so many words...what should I say now?"
Taoist Yangming racked his brains and thought for a moment, but couldn't find the right words. What if the other party was not satisfied with just saying something?
His mind was in a state of confusion. He had confessed to Zhang Dongming before he even fought him and was cursing him in his heart when Lu Liangsheng's voice suddenly rose.
"Please, Taoist priest, answer me!"
The scholar's robe fluttered in the wind as he walked slowly towards him. The towering ferocious beast behind him stood up from its squatting position, and followed him with its four limbs and tiger paws interlaced.
"...You and I practice Taoism just to be superior to ordinary people?"
"Taking money to do things for others is what you should do, but saving someone also hurts another person. Taoist priest, where is your Taoism?"
"I practice Taoism and study literature. I know that Taoism is in my heart, which is my conscience. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Taoist priest, do you think it is right or wrong?"
Taoist Yangming took two steps back, feeling a tightness in his chest. The scholar asked him a series of questions, and his scalp felt numb and his ears were buzzing, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
"This scholar has a very powerful tongue..."
Wait…why should I answer him?
The Taoist suddenly woke up, looked at the scholar approaching, his eyes sank, he flicked the dust in his hand, clenched his teeth, and magic power gradually began to flow in his body.
Lu Liangsheng stopped and looked at the other party's expression. Was he being forced into a corner?
The brush fell out of the wide sleeves and slid into the hand, while the painting scroll in the other hand unfolded and dropped to the ground. The ferocious beast Taowu behind him became more solid, growling and roaring at the Taoist priest, and suddenly swung his claws.
Roar--
The moment the fishy wind blew up, the magic power from the Taoist priest surged out and his giant claws swung down at the same time. Then, Taoist Yangming suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, and he stepped on the ground with a light sound, and ran towards the Crescent Moon Gate like a rabbit.
Only a torn piece of cloth was left, slowly falling to the ground.
Lu Liangsheng opened his mouth slightly: "..."
However, at this moment, someone came running from behind the crescent door holding a wooden basin and rushed forward. A dark red blood curtain splashed in the air, revealing a human figure.
"A dragnet of heaven and earth!" Zuo Zhengyang shouted.
As a dozen constables descended from the roof, a thin wire net followed.
