Chapter 64
After assigning their respective functions, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi asked Xu Kang about the specific details of the borrowing.
Huangfu Song was more anxious, and immediately asked, "What do you need to borrow the wind from virtue, uncle will prepare!" ”
Looking at his appearance, it seems that as soon as Xu Kang speaks, he will be able to prepare it immediately.
And although Lu Zhi didn't speak, judging from his facial expressions, he should think about the same as Huangfu Song.
Seeing the two of them like this, although Xu Kang wanted to agree, he knew that this would not work.
Because Lu Zhi also said just now, it is early summer, and the ancients counted the fourth, fifth, and sixth months of the lunar calendar as summer, which means that there is still about a month before the midsummer gale recorded in history.
If he agrees now, how will he survive this month?
So he obviously couldn't agree, so he could only bow his hand to Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song again.
"Uncle, uncle, I know that you are anxious and want to clear the Yellow Turban as soon as possible, but this wind is controlled by the Heavenly Court Feng Cao, and the Feng Cao rotates every month, and now the Feng Cao I know is not yet on duty, so I can't borrow this wind!"
"Heavenly Court? Wind Cao? Hearing Xu Kang's words, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song showed surprise again.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was the initial period of Taoism, so there was no complete deification system in this period, and there was only one relatively formal classic, the Taiping Sutra.
The Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao and the Wudou Rice Dao founded by Zhang Daoling can be regarded as the earliest Taoist entity activities.
In this period when the majority of gods are still groping, Xu Kang has a complete theory, and he is dry goods as soon as he opens his mouth, which naturally looks quite high-end.
A copy of "Journey to the West" broke into the world, so I asked you if you were afraid?
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were obviously suppressed, and both of them felt that they had heard a great secret, and their curiosity was pulled up again.
However, they also knew the priorities, so they could only temporarily put aside their curiosity about the heavenly court and concentrate on asking about the wind.
"Since Ide said that this wind is in charge of Feng Cao, and it rotates every month, when will the Feng Cao you know be on duty?"
"yes, if it drags on for too long, I'm afraid it's ......"
Hearing the worries of the two, Xu Kang suddenly laughed, and waved his hand at them while laughing.
"Uncle, uncle don't worry, the Feng Cao I know is named Fei Lian, but a spirit with a bird's head and a deer body and a snake tail, and horns on his head, he used to be a guest on Penglai Island, and I also made tea for him, he once told me that he was on duty in midsummer in May, and I will borrow wind from him at that time!"
Seeing that he spoke in a good way, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's eyes also widened.
When they heard him say that they could borrow the wind in midsummer in May, the two of them were even more happy.
"Can you borrow the wind in May? That's great, but we can't be lazy, we should go and build an altar to worship Fei Lian Shangxian now, as a sign of sincerity! ”
"What Brother Zi said is very true, I will order someone to build a nine-foot high platform, Brother Zi, you should also quickly draw the portrait of Fei Lian Shangxian, I can take it and worship it!"
"Well, that's very good!"
After the discussion, Huangfu Song hurriedly walked out, while Lu Zhi ran into the study with an eager face and greeted Xu Kang at the same time.
"Yide, come in and grind ink with Uncle Shi, and at the same time help Uncle Shi to see if Uncle Shi's painting is similar to Feilian Shangxian, don't neglect Shangxian!"
"Uh...... All right! Hearing him say this, Xu Kang could only agree and followed him into the study.
After entering the study, Xu Kang began to sharpen the ink, and Lu Zhi did not start writing immediately, but turned around the room twice with his hands behind his back.
Then stand still with your eyes slightly closed.
"Chu Ci Lisao" said: The former Wangshu made the pioneers, and the later Feilian made the subordinates. Everyone in the world says that Feng Bo is a white-bearded old man who holds a wheel in his left hand and a basket in his right hand, but he doesn't know that he is a spirit with a bird's head and a deer's body and a snake's tail and horns on his head! ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.
"Even if you are a monster, you will inevitably have a violent personality, which is why there are disasters in the world!"
After sorting out the image of Fei Lian in his mind, he turned around sharply, strode to the bookcase, picked up the brush, and then splashed ink.
Soon, a portrait of a spirit with a bird's head, a deer's body, a snake's tail, and horns on its head appeared on the pale yellow canvas.
Fei Lian in the painting has a hideous face, holding a wheel in one hand and a fan in the other, and there is a cloud under his feet, which looks vivid.
Xu Kang only glanced at it, and felt that the mythical Fei Lian should be like this, so he immediately stretched out his thumb to Lu Zhi and praised it: "Uncle Shi is good at painting!" ”
Hearing his words, Lu Zhi also became happy, "Did Yide mean that I painted this image?" ”
"Naturally, Fei Lian is like this!" Xu Kang nodded seriously as he spoke.
After getting his personal acknowledgement, Lu Zhi completely relaxed, and then carefully dried the ink on the canvas.
After doing this, he asked Xu Kang again.
"Yide, do you have any preferences for Fei Lian Shangxian? What sacrifice should we make to him? ”
"Uh...... This ......"
This Xu Kang didn't know, but he didn't dare to say nonsense.
Fortunately, from Lu Zhi's words just now, Xu Kang knew that there was already a precedent for worshipping Fengbo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he replied to him vaguely, "It's good as usual!" ”
After saying that, he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly added.
"Don't use human blood sacrifice, using human blood sacrifice is the method of entertaining evil ghosts, Fei Lian is now an immortal god, if you use this method, you will definitely anger him!"
In order to prevent another bloody tragedy in the General's Mansion, Xu Kang was very serious when he spoke.
Seeing him like this, Lu Zhi also nodded seriously.
"The old man knows, so he will offer some peaches and plums, and then sacrifice cattle, sheep and livestock on the day of borrowing the wind, what do you think of virtue?"
"Feasible!"
After the two of them had discussed the matter, the sky had gradually darkened.
Seeing that Huangfu Song had not come back because he was busy building the altar, Lu Zhi no longer waited for him, and instructed the kitchen to bring the prepared meal, and then eat with Xu Kang.
By the time the two finished eating, it was already completely dark, so Xu Kang got up and said goodbye to Lu Zhi.
"Uncle Shi, I haven't returned for a whole day since I came out of the barracks, and I'm afraid that there will be changes in the camp, so I can't stay here for a long time, so I'll leave!"
"Is Edd going to leave?"
Hearing Xu Kang's words, Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay, since it's a matter in the barracks, then I won't keep you, I'll let people send you out of the city!"
So saying, he prepared to go out and call someone.
But before he could reach the door, he was stopped by Xu Kang, "Uncle, please stay, I didn't leave from the city gate!" ”
"Not leaving through the gates?" Hearing his words, Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Then how do you get out of the city?" ”
Looking at his puzzled look, Xu Kang laughed again.
"Hehe, I have my own way!"
