[003] an eggshell
Gongsun Du, the word Shengji, is a native of Xiangping, Liaodong. Brave and strategic, but thirty and fourteen years old. The age of "standing at thirty" is a watershed for Gongsun Du's career.
In front of the ridge, he was valued by Sun Chen, the prince of Xuansu, and was promoted from the small and medium-sized officials in the county to Shang Shulang and Jizhou Thorn History, all the way to "Qingyun Steady Steps". After Ling, he was plotted by political enemies, dismissed from office with rumors, and returned to his hometown in cloth to serve in the fields.
Fortunately, he was good at management and knew the times, and when his ability was booming, he formed the Weiliao League. became famous, and was summoned by the Son of Heaven, and ascended to the Ability Competition.
Although he was defeated by the hands of Yanyun of the Immortal Gate, it was not without gains. He was valued by the Son of Heaven, and at a price of only eight million yuan, he bought the post of Taishou of Lelang County.
Before he went to work, he was summoned by the Son of Heaven once. The Son of Heaven informed him of the peculiarities of Yuan Benchu's "One-Horned Thunder Beast", and also said, "If you cultivate it with all your might, your ability can also compete with the immortal law."
He is a person who "would rather be the head of the ** and not be the tail of the phoenix", and after learning about this, he immediately broke off the idea of "entering the fairy gate".
When he went east to Korea, he banned the Central Plains business travel, pushed the "God-given text", pretended the name of the "God's Messenger", set up the "God-given Banquet", and at the same time enveloped the wealthy families, he collected treasures such as bear bile, don't go straight ginseng, and deer antler antlers, and devoted his efforts to cultivating supernatural abilities.
However, just when he was full of ambition and high spirits, the henchmen he sent to "keep an eye" on the bank of Zhushui hurried back yesterday. The things he described, "As soon as the immortal law came out, the ability was like Tang Woxue, vulnerable", and "the disciple of the immortal sect, he came back from the dead", like five thunderbolts, exploded and made him at a loss.
At that moment, he realized that the "chicken head" was always a chicken, not a phoenix after all.
On the day of Dongman, the king of Goguryeo and the patriarch of the Silla tribe sat on the stone platform. Gongsun Du was on the left, and his thoughts were flying.
He has always paid attention to the movements of Xianmen. Like Yuan Shao, he also sent spies to Baihu Mountain City, but the effect was also not ideal.
The previous "old woman's rejuvenation" matter, more than a dozen spies did not mention a word. It was only when the henchmen of "Zhu Shui" opened their mouths this time that he knew that Xianmen still had such miraculous means.
The henchman also said, "King Yan crosses east to the sea, or it can be done through Lelang, Sanhan, and Goguryeo." As soon as these words came out, he was uneasy. To this day, they are still restless and on pins and needles.
Although what he did in the nine counties of Lelang could not be called treason, it was enough to be despised, spurned, and even crusaded by the people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains.
If King Yan is here, how should he be treated?
"Gongsun Taishou? Gongsun Taishou! ”
There was a shout from the tall man Wu Bogu in his ears, and the cranky Gongsun Du calmed down and hurriedly responded.
The king of Goguryeo looked at Gongsun Du, who was not giving up, and felt disdain.
Two hundred years ago, Gao ** established the Marquis of Goguryeo, which was ruled by Xuansu County, and the national household registration was reported in Goguryi County, Xuanwu County. In the eighth year of Guangwu, Goguryeo sent tribute to give the king.
The upper-class nobles of the Goguryeo people have always claimed to be descendants of Gaoyang Miao after Zhuan, so they take Gao as their clan. They believed that their roots were still in Middle Earth, in Yuzhou, and in Gaoyang Diqiu.
It is also for this reason that most of the Goguryeo people do not like Gongsun Du, thinking that his decree of "abandoning the Chinese language" is really a move to forget their ancestors and abandon Ethics.
Gao Nan Wu Bogu also believes so. However, after all, Gongsun Du is too shou of Le Lang and an important minister of the Han court, and he is not easy to be contemptuous in etiquette.
Next, the king of Goguryeo invited Gongsun Taishou to worship the "cave god" together. Under the watchful eyes of all the people, the two will carry a five-foot-high wooden statue of the "cave god" and place it on a bronze throne.
This "cave god" is the deification of so Hyo-dong. In Goguryeo belief, "Suhyo Cave" is the path to the underworld, symbolizing the place where the Goguryeo people go through the cycle of life and death.
The wooden statue is only more than 30 catties, and the two of them carry it left and right, and the burden is not heavy. But as soon as Gongsun Du saw this wooden statue, he thought of its symbol of "reincarnation of life and death", and then thought of "Xianmen disciple, come back from the dead", and couldn't help but wander.
"Gongsun Taishou? Gongsun Shengji!! ”
Gao Nan Wu Bogu shouted angrily, which shocked Gongsun Du's spirit. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the wooden statue that was originally sitting upright was now lying on its head, and the face of the "cave god" was almost touching the ground. He hurriedly straightened it.
The surrounding Goguryeo people who knelt down and prayed to the gods were in an uproar, and some of the emotional ones directly opened their mouths and scolded. If it weren't for the sacrificial ceremony, I'm afraid that many people would have to run over and beat people.
The king of Goguryeo was also angry, and across the five-foot wooden statue, he cut his teeth at Gongsun Du and shouted in a low voice: "Gongsun Shengji, what do you want to humiliate me?!" ”
Gongsun Du hurriedly cheered up and apologized several times before the king of Goguryeo dissipated his anger. Waving his hand to order the officials who surrounded the front to disperse, such as Zhulu, Gu Hinjia, and the ancestors of soapy, and pacified the people, the sacrificial ceremony continued.
Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief.
If the king of Nayan really came to this point, and was annoyed by his political act of "abandoning the Chinese language" and lowered the punishment, his Gongsun Du still counted on Goguryeo to help, and he could never offend this group of Goguryeo people at the moment.
In the next sacrificial process, Gongsun Du's every move was very careful. Fortunately, the "cave god" and the subsequent "god of the cave" sacrifice went smoothly.
The next day's dance festival also went well. The five nobles and tribes of all sizes decorate animals and animals, sing and dance, and offer sacrifices to the gods and goddesses of the mountain, the god of the sun, the god of the moon, the god of the stars, and the god of the basket to pray for peace.
The atmosphere was very warm, and many foreigners couldn't help but help the old and the young and participate in it. Gongsun Du was even in the crowd to see the Japanese envoys who had been expelled from the palace by himself. The two men wrapped their heads in sheets were bowing to a child of five or six years old.
On the third day, the king of Goguryeo and the officials of the royal palace offered sacrifices to the three mountains and five peaks such as Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou. This time, Gongsun Du did not accompany him, and he just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But I saw the governor of Lelang County, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Hanzi, Tunyou and other counties rushed in in a hurry.
"Fujun! Big things are wrong! Then King Yan called! ”
When the post supervisor opened his mouth, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shook Gongsun Du and forgot to speak.
On the other hand, the king of Goguryeo was already furious! Damn Gongsun Shengji! Come and ruin my court sacrifice again!
Under the persuasion of Lu Dawen, Gao Nan Wu Bogu reluctantly suppressed his anger and completed the sacrificial process. Then he was about to find that Gongsun Du to ask for the guilt, but he heard the addition of the people around him and exclaimed at Lu and other officials.
"Your Majesty! Look, King!! ”
Da Wen was very excited, and pointed to the Jinwu Palace not far from the mountainside and shouted. Gao Nan Wu Bogu looked over and saw the golden crow eggs at the entrance of the palace that were exposed to the sun.
The two-foot-tall and three-foot-long green eggs were gently swaying at a magnitude visible to the naked eye.
The Golden Crow Divine Bird is about to hatch!
The king of Goguryeo was overjoyed, and he didn't care about holding Gongsun Du accountable, so he went straight to the mountainside with officials and tens of thousands of people.
Seeing this, the Silla patriarch Park Adaro immediately called the warriors of the Qi tribe, raised his sword and held the sword, and pressed forward.
Then, all eyes were on it. The movement of the green eggs is getting louder and louder.
Click!
On the surface of the egg shell, cracks appeared.
Wu Bogu, the tall man who was closest to him, tried to widen his eyes and look in through the gap.
The more he looked, the more ugly his face became!
On the contrary, it was Park Adaro on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The little one in the egg has ears, palms, and a mouth! It's just that it doesn't have wings!
The cracks of the green eggs are getting bigger and bigger, and the sighs of the Goguryeo people come and go. And Park Adaro has a wide mouth, but it is getting bigger and bigger. And just when he wanted to laugh a few times to express his heart, the eggshell of the green egg shattered.
Park Adaro's smile froze on his face for a moment.
All the onlookers were also stunned on the spot at the same time.
A black and white red panda, covered in egg liquid, stands in the broken shell of green eggs on the ground.
Xu was frightened by the sudden appearance of a bunch of humans, the red panda was a little dazed, and its little pink tongue just stuck out of its mouth, and it forgot to lick the egg liquid on its paws.
In the next second, above the palace, a butterfly, a pony, a fox, and two cranes fluttered and fell. With indescribable speed, all the eggs are swept away.
