Chapter 376: Blessing Banquet (1)

"Oh!" Li Changqing thought of the words on the notebook, and frowned tightly.

“……”

"Then why don't I agree?"

"It's not that you disagree. At first, you agreed, but then, for some reason, you disagreed. Mother Li carefully recalled that day her daughter cried so much that she ran back to Xianxuan Pavilion with pear blossoms and rain, and she didn't go out for three days and three nights, and she and her husband were almost scared and ordered someone to smash the door.

"Well, since it's all over, my mother won't mention it again, I'll be careful today." What is the truth of the matter, just wait for Hanying to find out the news today.

"Madam, the lord asked you to take the young lady over." The carriage stopped, and the attendants outside hurriedly posted at the window to report.

As he spoke, he had already reached the bottom of the observation platform of the building.

The founder of the so-called Louguantai, called Lao Tzu, is the ancestor of Taoism, and this Taoist master is the 481st Taoist descendant of Louguantai.

Li Changqing and Li's mother got out of the carriage, and the north wind whistled on her cheeks, she couldn't help tightening the cloak outside, grabbed her mother's arm, and went to her father's side with the attendant.

Along the way, the foot of the mountain is full of horse-drawn carriages, either simple or luxurious, dizzying.

Because the road up the mountain is relatively narrow, you can only use a sedan chair to go up the mountain.

General Li stopped not far from the carriage, saw his wife and daughter coming, immediately walked over, distressed Li Changqing with one hand, and his wife with the other, pulled to a secluded place, and whispered: "Later, I may always protect the emperor, I have no time to take care of you, I ordered more than a dozen martial attendants to spread around you, if there is anything, don't run around, don't panic." ”

"Don't worry, I will always stay with Sang'er, you can rest assured to protect the emperor." Mrs. Li reassured her husband with a firm gaze, so that he could feel at ease.

General Li nodded, and said: "Today, I'm afraid that the emperor will take the opportunity to give King Huan a marriage, Sang'er must not be impulsive." ”

"No, it won't." My father was talking about a marriage, and she had been married two years ago. Today, I am afraid it will be Murong Beibei. Nandi wants Ning Tianlin to become big so much, so she can just wait and see what happens.

"That's right! San'er! General Li looked at his daughter and whispered, "Don't get close to the prince today!" ”

Li Changqing chuckled in his heart, from morning to now, his mother and father took turns to say this, it seemed that there was something hidden from her.

"Do you have any scruples?" Li Changqing asked tentatively.

"Sang'er, father is for your good, in short, stay away from the prince."

"Yes, father." Li Changqing didn't ask more. Since they don't want to say it, they have a reason.

"Alright. I'll go first. Take care of yourselves. As he spoke, General Li patted his daughter's shoulder, glanced at his wife affectionately, and left with a worried face.

The two walked into the crowd and prepared to get on the sedan chair and go to the mountain.

"Mrs. Li, why don't you sit with Miss Li?" Duangu Yu came out of nowhere, stepped forward and took Li Changqing's hand affectionately.

"Meet the Crown Princess." Mrs. Li pulled down Li Changqing and blessed Duangu Yufu with a rule, and replied: "Sang'er is not in good health today, so it is inconvenient to disturb the crown princess, please go first." ”

Li Changqing stood straight in the cold wind, with a solemn expression on his face, looking at the lilac robe in the crowd in the distance, the evil and natural face happened to raise his chin towards her, Li Changqing smiled, and even his fingertips were warm.

Duangu Yu looked at Li Changqing's distracted appearance, and couldn't help but follow her gaze, but saw that her husband was looking towards them, and her narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed at this time, slightly raised.

Duangu Yu's heart instantly became cold with ice and snow at this time.

"In that case, Concubine Ben will leave first." Duangu Yu gritted his teeth lightly and sat in the sedan chair first.

And Ning Tianci just saw the corner of Yude's lips smiling on one side, so he looked at me in his direction, and saw Sang Yu standing there, with a quiet face, that lilac skirt, and then in the white snow, the red plum is fiery, so that she is standing there, it is a pleasing winter plum.

Just when he retracted his gaze, he saw that King Yude was also wearing an embroidered lotus purple robe, wrapping him in a handsome and evil charm, and the slightly upturned corners of his lips set off the breath on his body like moonlight.

His eyes deepened, and he said to Xuanyuan next to him: "I don't know what King Yude thinks about the matter of choosing a disciple under the throne today?" ”

After Xuanyuan Qi and Li Changqing looked at each other from afar, they were in a good mood, but they didn't mind saying more, and replied lightly: "There is no Taoist chief in our Xuanyuan country, and even the master of Xiangji Temple has praised it. ”

"Oh, I've heard of Kobo Daishi, and I've heard that King Yutoku was raised under Kobo when he was a child." Ning Tianci said in a deep voice.

Xuanyuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect the prince to be so interested in the life of this king. ”

“……。”

"However, speaking of which, it is a little curious why there are so many disciples under the master's seat who suddenly have to be re-elected at this year's blessing banquet."

"There was a disciple of Master Absolute Wu before, who was already in his forties, but for some reason he suddenly disappeared. The master originally wanted to pass on the throne to him, but unfortunately he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the master was now ready to choose another one. ”

"How to choose?"

"I didn't say this, I heard that this time, it was not selected among the disciples of the Louguantai, but in this blessing banquet. Prince Ben is also curious, what kind of medicine is sold in the master's gourd? ”

"Drugged." After Xuanyuan Qi finished speaking, he laughed loudly and went ahead with a whip.

When Ning Tianci heard this, he was stunned for a moment, laughed a few times, and followed.

The tower view platform is located halfway up the mountain, and the blessing is in front of the stone statue of Lao Tzu, and the stone statue is above the top of the mountain.

This had to go halfway up the mountain to rest first, the sedan chair driver had to change hands, and the road above was getting steeper and steeper.

Fortunately, Nandi ordered someone to pave the official road more than ten years ago, although it is narrow, horses and small sedan chairs can still go up, but the carriage cannot go up.

Because the blessing is in the morning.

So I rested for a while, and then I went back on my road.

And when the hour was end, they were all assembled.

Nandi was dressed in a golden dragon robe, extremely majestic, standing in front of the incense burner.

The statue of Lao Tzu is the center, and the base is 4 high. 2 meters, width 3 meters, length 3. 2 meters, the square base is engraved with the inscription, the left and right sides are the square seat of the head of the mantle, 330 cm high, 110 cm wide, the high text lifts the book, the text is 5263 words.

In front of the statue of Lao Tzu is the cast iron of the incense burner of the Lingguan Temple, with a circumference of 4. 2 meters, neck circumference 3. 2 meters, the bottom is recycled, if the pot is shaped, the outer wall is decorated with three-dimensional flower and grass patterns, stand in front of the incense, you need to step on the specially cast stone ladder.

Its seat is a high-legged tiger leg, and the shape is rough. There is also the Lao Tzu Ancestral Hall Jiao Paper Furnace, iron-cast pagoda shape, located in the Lao Tzu Ancestral Hall next to the Lao Tzu statue, high 2. 07 meters, diameter 0. 37 meters. The ancestral hall presents a trumpet top, with 6 corners of heavy eaves, and there are Totaris reliefs, the forms are different, magical and exaggerated, and the color is mainly dark red.

And if Nandi wants to sacrifice to the sky, he has to go up to the front of the incense burner.

During the sacrifice, pregnant women should not be present, so Guo Mulei was placed in the wing room of the Louguan Platform to rest. Mingzhu Yao Yao followed Ning Tianlin up.

Li Changqing had been standing behind Mother Li, and when the deafening drum sounded, she saw a yellow robe, and the appearance of an old dragon bell was exactly the same as that of Master Hongfa.

I saw that his eyes were sharp, standing beside Nandi, holding the dust in his hand, first looking around, his eyes paused somewhere in the south, and then he looked towards the female guest.

Li Changqing didn't know why, but he felt that his gaze was ethereal and profound, as long as he was on it, he could see through his soul and subconsciously lowered his head.

Because the Southern Emperor and the Absolute Daoist were standing on the high platform, they could see every move below.

There is no cloudy old eye, when he sees a certain place, he suddenly shines like a bright moon, and after a short pause, he said a few words to Nandi, and Nandi was happy.

Prayer for the beginning of the day -

A long sound pierced the sky, and suddenly vocal music began to sound, and gongs and drums rang out.

The Southern Emperor was accustomed to it, and he went up to the Lingguan Temple with the incense burner money, burned incense and prayed, the ceremony was complicated, Li Changqing stood there, but he was bored, so when everyone bowed their heads, he took the opportunity to look around, only to find that Murong Xiong was actually there. And behind him, there was Murong Qin, who was stunned in his heart, it was not surprising that he didn't see the Holy Emperor, after all, he was the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and it was understandable not to participate in this kind of etiquette, just when she was looking indiscriminately, she noticed a cold gaze staring directly at the left half of her face, and couldn't help but turn her head to look over, and saw Xuanyuan Chu looking at her with a cold look at the corner of his mouth.

The corners of Li Changqing's lips were slightly raised, and he nodded at him, then turned his face.

I felt that my heart was beating non-stop, and I couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and cover my chest.

Xuanyuan Chu was enraged again by her actions, the events of last night were vivid, pierced into his heart like a thorn, how could he make them proud?

The coffin incense burner had been burning, and it was only necessary to add some incense to it, and just when Nandi and Never had prepared to light the incense, the female guests let out a sharp shout.

"Ahh Snake! Soon a woman pointed to the snake at her feet and shouted.

When the others heard this, they immediately followed and flashed to the side, and the snake was frightened, and immediately ran towards Li Changqing, and in an instant, Li Changqing's side was opened in a large circle. She was not afraid of being bitten by a snake, and when she saw the poisonous snake that was about to burrow into the soles of her feet, she was about to step on its neck, but the snake was also strange, and circled around her three times, not approaching her at any rate, and at last looked up at her, and fell to the ground.

He's dead!

By the time Regulus went over and grabbed her, the snake was dead.

Although there was a loud noise among the female guests, it was nothing if it was far away from the high platform. Although he was over seventy, his hearing was very sensitive, and when the voice sounded, he turned to look at the two people standing in the middle of the circle below, and blinked deeply.

"What's going on?" Nandi saw that the Daoist Commander had turned around, and he also turned around and asked majestically.

"Back to the emperor, it was a snake that almost bit someone, and then inexplicably died in front of General Li's daughter, Miss Li." A guard hurriedly came up from below to report.

Nandi frowned, praying for such a thing, superstitious is that there is a catastrophe in the Nanding Congress.

And the snake, which is already psychic, how could it die inexplicably?

Nandi glanced at the Daoist Leader and asked, "What does the Daoist think?" ”
