Chapter Fifty-Seven: Ice Making on the Way to the Audience

Since ancient times, China has a vast land, with large rivers, mountains, canyons and ravines, stretching endlessly, high on the top of the mountains, and far down to the edge of the sea. It can be described as the kingdom of heaven.

Xu Yang, who was in a hurry at this time, also had this feeling, that is; Damn, why is it so far.

Starting from Youzhou to Chang'an, passing through Yizhou, Hengzhou, Xingzhou, Xiangzhou, Zhengzhou, Luozhou, Puzhou and 100 counties in seven states to reach Chang'an.

The fathers-in-law rode in a troika, and the speed was already the top treatment of the Tang Dynasty, and even the emperor only drove six cars.

After two days of carriage travel, Xu Yang's buttocks were about to be turned upside down, and when he asked where he was, the father-in-law replied: "I have reached the boundary of Wutai Mountain on the border of Yizhou." ”

Xu Yang was taken aback, it had been four non-stop carriages for two days, and the total progress was only one-seventh? But the name of this Wutai Mountain is quite familiar, so I took out my mobile phone and Baidu it.

Seeing that he had run to Shanxi, this guy had run far away, Xu Yang planned to ask if he could go to the downstream of the Wutai Mountain Brigade and play all the things that he had not played in later generations, but when he asked, now Wutai Mountain is holding a Dharma conference, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave. That's it.

Speaking of this Dharma conference, Xu Yang was a little curious, so he chatted with those fathers-in-law.

Only then did I know that the Wutai Mountain Temple was built in the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and now the entire Tang Dynasty is prosperous because of the "Manjushri faith", and there are more than 360 temples.

Xu Yang looked out through the carriage window, and saw that there was a primeval forest everywhere, and there were no man-made buildings at all, so he looked at the father-in-law suspiciously.

The father-in-law also covered his mouth and chuckled, and Xu Yang was disgusted when he saw it.

"How can there be people everywhere in this Wutai Mountain boundary, the lord thinks too much, the three hundred and sixty temples are all built around the mountaineering trail of Wutai Mountain, and there are no temples in other places."

Xu Yang sighed, and stared out the window.

The weather in July is boring, although the ancients said that the weather in July is gradually getting cooler, but Xu Yang is extremely suspicious that the weather and climate in ancient times are different from modern times.

Sitting in the carriage was even hotter, the carriage was like a steamer, if it weren't for the breeze brought by the horses running, Xu Yang would be afraid that he would be killed by the heat without seeing the saint.

At this time, he had already taken off his official uniform and put on a cool T-shirt, and was looked at by those fathers-in-law, as if he saw aliens, Xu Yang originally planned to put the big pants back on, but Liu Qi desperately blocked it, saying that it was going to be seen by an unmarried woman in Chang'an, and he couldn't run away for an indecent crime, so he didn't wear it, and he was wearing a pair of sports pants.

When they heard that this was Xu Yang's own clothes, these fathers-in-law all showed unhappy expressions, and they didn't wear some strange clothes in official clothes, but the kind of clothes he wore seemed to be really cool.

Xu Yang is very generous, recommended to these fathers-in-law to wear and try, at first the father-in-law resigned, couldn't bear Xu Yang's soft grinding and boasting, so he had to change it and try it, but as soon as he changed it, he didn't return it.

The eunuch costumes in the Tang Dynasty were generally round-necked and large-sleeved robes, and they were also worn like this in the summer, and the clothes mixed with hemp were originally very thick and impermeable, and they were as hot as dogs when they moved slightly, but the T-shirts and trousers Xu Yang gave them made them finally feel a little cool in the carriage, and they were reluctant to take it off after putting it on, after all, it was really too hot in the carriage.

Xu Yang left only one of the five or six sets of T-shirts he had changed and washed, and the rest were put on by these fathers-in-law, Xu Yang waved his hand and said that he would give them to these fathers-in-law, which made those fathers-in-law grateful to him.

The clothes are cool, and they are naturally in a good mood, and these fathers-in-law have also forgotten their prejudice and unhappiness against Xu Yang just now.

But as an otaku who sits in an air-conditioned house and works every day in later generations, Xu Yang's resistance to the heat is almost zero, and the weather is not bad in the two days when he just came out of Youzhou, a little cloudy, and it is not too hot, but since he entered Yizhou, the weather has become more and more sunny, and the sun hangs high above his head like a fireball every day.

Xu Yang touched the ceiling of the carriage above his head, and it was hot to his hands, only forty or fifty degrees.

The fathers-in-law sat in a row with their eyes closed, since they wore T-shirts, they would no longer be bean-sized sweat beads when they closed their eyes to recuperate, and several captains of their chengguan team were chatting quietly, and they themselves wore T-shirts issued by the chengguan team, and they didn't look very hot.

Xu Yang felt dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Grandpa Cao, when can we get to the next stop?"

The eunuch called Gonggong Cao opened his eyes and said sharply: "It's only been two hours, and it will take half a day to get to the royal inn in Hengzhou, and the lord is too anxious." ”

Xu Yang was very depressed in his heart, can I not be in a hurry, I am about to be hot as a grandson.

I saw him quietly say a few words to Liu Qi and Zhang Er, who had been sitting next to him, and the two of them began to open the big box in the car, and took out some objects, and there was a faint sound of pouring water.

The father-in-law was too lazy to open his eyes, thinking that Xu Yang was going to drink water.

As a result, after a while, these fathers-in-law suddenly heard a strange sound of Zrazla, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a lot, and the carriage, which was originally a little hot, now seemed to be not as hot as it used to be.

They opened their eyes and looked into the car at the same time.

I saw Xu Yang wrapping a large handful of white lime-like things in a cloth and sprinkling it into a large basin filled with water, and there was a small copper bowl in the basin, and the bowl was also full of water.

As soon as the surface of the water in the large basin came into contact with the white lime thing, there was a violent reaction of saltpeter and water, and the sound of 'Zlazla' was incessant, and the whole carriage was alarmed, and even the groom pulling the cart looked into the carriage.

I saw that the white powder will produce bursts of white smoke when it comes into contact with the water, the temperature is rapidly dropping, the water surface has a thin layer of ice, and the white water vapor has also appeared, with more and more saltpeter, the reaction is getting faster and faster, and soon the water in the entire basin has signs of freezing, and the water surface has a standard ice mist.

The coachman was stunned, several fathers-in-law were stunned, and the chengguan team members were also stunned. Only Xu Yang had a look of enjoyment and Liu Qi was full of pride.

"Is this the art of turning water into ice?" A father-in-law asked tremblingly, in his heart, he had already fantasized about Xu Yang as a god and a character.

"Hehe, a little spell is not surprising." Xu Yang also smiled, since the last time he made shaved ice for Liu Qi and Liu Mengli, he explained the scientific principles to them for a long time, and his mouth was about to wear out, Liu Mengli and Liu Qi were unmoved, and decided that Xu Yang knew magic. Xu Yang is also in the mood that he no longer has any scientific explanation for these ignorant people, and acquiesces that he can do spells, saving time and effort, and pretending to be forced. How nice.

Sure enough, when several fathers-in-law heard that it was Xu Yang's spell, they immediately respected Xu Yang, a baron they didn't care, a baron who met His Majesty Xià They were just a little polite, but a baron who met His Majesty and knew how to spell made them have to pay attention to it.

There was a sudden flattering sound in the carriage, and those fathers-in-law with pink faces and shrill voices surrounded Xu Yang from time to time, making Xu Yang feel like falling into the hell of Yama, and he was about to vomit disgustingly, but he had to pretend to be very happy, Xu Yang could imagine his expression, which should be similar to Yao Ming's violent expression in later generations.
