Chapter 33: Rescuing Li Xuan
After the villagers of Wugong County warmly entertained Gargamel and Zhang Liang and his party, Gargamel and Zhang Liang returned to Honglu Temple together.
The study room of Zhang Liang in Honglu Temple is clean and tidy, but it is unusually simple. A long desk, a high-backed wooden chair. On the desk, there are four treasures of the study, Zihao pen hangs on the pen stand, and the lacquer smoke and ink are like the night.
Zhang Liang sat on his chair and fell into deep thought, he couldn't understand how Gargamel could have such great magical powers? It is incredible to think about the birth of money on the body, the withdrawal of money from the water, the transmission of the dragon king, and the call of wind and rain, but Gargamel has done it all under the gaze of everyone, which is amazing. Could it be that he is really a god? Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Li Xuan, he was dismissed from the post of Shangyong County Warden because of Li Xuan, after he went to office, he specially studied his opponent Li Xuan, and he found that Li Xuan also has a lot of very peculiar means, real martial arts manifestation, transmission of thousands of miles, control of fierce beasts, charming mind, these means do not seem to be what the mortal world should have, could it be that Li Xuan and Gargamel are the same as immortals? Thinking of this, Zhang Liang complained: "Why am I so unlucky? These non-human guys you've been running into lately? First Li Xuan, then Gargamel. Too unlucky. I really hope that the two of them can lose both, and die together, and both die far away. ”
"Both sides will be lost, and they will all end up together?" Thinking of this, Zhang Liang stood up, he thought of a good idea, a good idea that could help King Qin.
In the evening, Zhang Liang entered the palace of the king of Qin and told Li Shimin, the king of Qin, his plan.
Li Shimin said in surprise: "Gargamel really has such magical means? King Yong'an is even more powerful than him? I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it? King Yong'an is really hidden. ”
In the middle of the night, Li Shimin's henchmen secretly visited Li Xuan in captivity and told him about Gargamel's wonderful magical powers, such as giving birth to money, taking money from water, transmitting letters to the Dragon King, and calling for wind and rain.
After hearing about this kind of supernatural power, Li Xuan suddenly became interested.
As a famous magic genius in later generations, Li Xuan knew that there were magicians in ancient China. Their origins are ancient sorcerers, and their mission has always been to "create miracles and make the impossible a reality." Unexpectedly, he would meet his peers, which made Li Xuan feel inexplicably excited. Giving birth to money on the body, taking money in the water, and sending a message to the Dragon King, these wonderful magic tricks in later generations, I didn't expect that someone would use it when they were reborn in the Tang Dynasty? It's the most amazing illusion master, it's interesting, and I'm looking forward to fighting you.
On the morning of the second day, Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, played to Emperor Li Yuan, hoping that the emperor would praise the Turkic witch who prayed for rain for the people of Wugong County.
Hearing what Gao Shilian said, Gargamel actually used the words "the wind rises, the clouds surge, and the rain falls" to cause a heavy rain, and the entire Tang Dynasty Hall feels incredible.
At this time, Jing Zhaoyin, who was attached to the King of Qin, took out the testimony of more than 800 households in Wugong County, proving that the Turkic witch Gegamel had indeed begged for a heavy rain for Wugong County, which had been in drought for two years. And Zhang Liang, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, also used his life to guarantee Gargamel to pray for rain for the people of Wugong County, which he really saw and heard with his own eyes.
It was only then that the entire Tang Dynasty felt that this matter was true. Immediately, Emperor Li Yuan ordered: "Give the Turkic Great Witch Gegamel a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk to show gratitude." ”
After the next dynasty, the king of Qin suddenly sent a large invitation, inviting high-ranking officials of the court and heads of various wealthy families to the palace of the king of Qin for a banquet.
Although the King of Qin is not powerful now, he is still the son of the current emperor, the younger brother of the current prince, high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and the heads of various wealthy families have been invited to participate. The Qin Palace's Mansion was suddenly very lively, and it was full of friends.
After three rounds of wine, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Today, I invite everyone to come, in fact, I want to introduce a god to everyone." ”
"Immortals? I don't know who His Royal Highness King Qin recommended? Is it the real person of the Holy Palace of Zhongnan Mountain Sect or the mage of Xingshan Temple in the suburbs of Chang'an? The right servant shot Feng Deyi asked.
Li Shimin smiled: "No, the one I invited." This morning, the emperor of the dynasty has just praised him, and he is the Turkic witch who begged for rain in Wugong County, which has been in drought for two years. ”
"Huh? Who is it? ”
"Giving birth to money on the body, taking money in the water, sending a message to the Dragon King, calling for wind and rain, are all fairy methods?"
"I'm really looking forward to meeting this fairy?"
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and I hope to see that Gargamel's supernatural powers with my own eyes."
Everyone was talking, but Feng Deyi fell into deep thought, he couldn't understand, why did the King of Qin promote this Turkic witch so much, Gargamel? Why put on such a big pomp and show Gargamel to all the high-ranking officials?
Gargamel slowly walked out at the invitation of King Qin. He is five big and three thick, but he is unusually beautiful, colorful, very festive, and there are still two pigtails hanging down from his chest, and red ropes are tied at the end of the braids, which looks extremely exquisite. Gargamel's eyes were still looking at the sky, his chin raised and proud.
When the crowd saw Gargamel's arrival, they welcomed him.
And Gargamel didn't seem to see it, but raised his head and said coldly to Li Shimin, the king of Qin: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin once said at the palace banquet a few days ago, 'The Tang Dynasty will either be the only superpower in the world, or it will disappear and never live secretly'?" ”
Li Shimin replied: "This king did say these words. Is there something wrong? ”
Gargamel laughed, "There's nothing wrong. It's just that Ben Dawu thinks that although you Datang are not small, you can only shout empty words. Asking for rain, such a trivial matter, no one can do it? In the end, it is necessary for Ben Dawu to take action in order to save hundreds of people in Wugong County. ”
Li Shimin's face was gloomy with anger, and the high-ranking officials present were even more indignant.
Gargamel laughed arrogantly and said, "Still not convinced? Well, I'll give you a chance to prove yourselves. Within seven days, I will challenge the entire Datang. As long as you Datang people feel that you have magical powers, you can challenge me, and I will not refuse to come. I want to convince you Datang people who can only shout empty words. ”
After that, Gargamel left arrogantly, and from beginning to end, he looked at the sky, without looking at the King of Qin and all the high-ranking officials, and his contempt was overflowing.
The banquet soon broke up.
Immediately, the enraged Tang people challenged Gargamel, but they were all unfortunately defeated.
Gargamel shouted even more arrogantly: "Datang is a country without heroes, a country that makes people feel sad. ”
Emperor Li Yuan personally ordered the royal Taoist temple Zhongnanshan Sect Shengguan to teach Qingye Zhenren, and the royal temple Xingshan Temple presided over Master Yuansheng to fight, but it was still unfortunate that the two joined forces and returned with a fiasco.
Li Yuan was so angry that he didn't rest well for a few days, and scolded Aoba Zhenren and Master Yuansheng for not learning well and hurting the country.
The envoys of various countries in the Honglu Temple, seeing that the Tang Dynasty was defeated at the hands of Gargamel one after another, mocked: "With such strength, you still want to become a big country? Big joke. ”
