Chapter 121: The Gift Comes
Wang Jian was ordered by Fusu to carry a large number of gifts and gold coins to Jixia Academy to obtain the Time Static Wall, and Master Mozi and Master Zhuang Zhou received Wang Jian in the hall of the meeting room.
"General Wang, in the recent battle of the Land of Origin, if there is no containment of your country in the rear of Cao Wei, it is unknown where the balance of the war will point." Master Mozi said with heartfelt emotion.
"The master praised falsely, the Dragon Martial Army and the Blood Witch Army raised by Cao Cao are comparable to the ghosts and ghosts, brutal and abnormal, no different from the demons in the north, and everyone is punished by righteous and righteous people. I, the Great Qin Lord, have made an oath not to share the sky with the demon clan and the evil charm. Wang Jian said humbly.
"It is really a blessing for my Eastern Continent to have such a jealous and hateful king like Lord Qin, who has a clear distinction between right and wrong. I don't know why General Wang came here today? Master Mozi said.
"I, King Qin, have heard that in the Battle of the Land of Origin, the time static wall of your academy played an indispensable role at the beginning of the war, making the attack of Cao Cao's aviation warship useless. Therefore, my Qin Lord sent me here in the hope that your academy can give us friends and build such a magical static wall, with it, in the future, in the face of the invasion of demons and evil spirits in the Eastern Continent, our Qin State can play a more important role. I don't know what the master thinks? Wang Jian said.
After Master Mozi heard Wang Qian's intention, he turned his face and looked at Master Zhuang Zhou, who bowed slightly to Master Mozi.
"It turns out that I came here for this, Master Zhuang Zhou and I actually have a plan, our academy is willing to give it free of charge, every friendly country that is willing to fight against demons and evil spirits, a wall of time still. Now that General Wang has arrived, it is better to bring the time still wall that has just been built back to Qin by the way. Currently, the Temporal Static Wall can only be used twice in a row, but we will send someone to maintain and upgrade it in the future. Master Mozi said.
"Hahaha, Master Mozi, thank you very much for your selfless generosity, please accept the coins you brought, and talk about my Qin country's heart." Wang Jian said excitedly.
"General Wang, we can accept the gifts, we have received your country's wishes, but we must not accept these gold coins, otherwise the academy will inevitably be criticized for being a mercenary infamy." Master Mozi refused.
"Since the master has made up his mind, it will not be difficult for others to be forced." Wang Jian said. The Empress slumped on a gold-encrusted rosewood dragon chair in the back garden, beside her a maid peeling plump and fleshy fresh lychees. Lychees were paid as tribute from the far southern border of the Tang Dynasty. When the lychee was sent to the Daming Palace, none of the lychee leaves withered.
The empress closed her eyes and chewed and savored the tender flesh of the lychee kernel, and the national teacher Ming Shiyin was bowing not far away, the empress asked leisurely: "National teacher, why do you want to see Lonely?" ”
"Your Majesty, I bring you a treasure of the immortal family, called: Huiyan Dan." Ming Shiyin said with a comfortable face.
"Oh? What is Hui Yan Dan? Wu Zetian was puzzled.
"Hui Yan Dan, as the name suggests, returns to the past, as long as people take this Dan, within a month, they can gradually become the same as ten years ago." Ming Shiyin explained.
Empress Wu Zetian heard Ming Shiyin's explanation, pushed away the fresh lychees that the maidservant brought to her mouth, and suddenly sat up. "Is what the national teacher said true?" Wu Zetian Dao.
"This is a lowly job to rummage through Taoist classics, looking for rare herbs, which lasted 7749 days, refined for Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty uses the snow water on the Tianshan Mountains as a medicine, after taking it, the green face will definitely return to Your Majesty's body." Ming Shi Yindao.
"Aiqing, why don't you hurry up and submit it, and take it now." Wu Zetian Dao.
"Your Majesty, don't be so in a hurry, this pill needs your majesty to burn incense and bathe, and then recite the time of a stick of incense in the Tao Te Ching before you can take it, only if your majesty is pious, this pill will play the greatest effect." Ming Shi Yindao.
"Okay, just according to what Aiqing said." Wu Zetian Dao.
After the empress ordered her maidservant to accept the elixir, she returned to the dormitory not long after. According to the words of the national teacher, burn incense and bathe, and silently recite the Tao Te Ching. The maidservant fried the snow water and brought it to her. Before taking the elixir, she withdrew from all the maidservant guards.
Wu Zetian used a silver needle to prick the red pill and took it out, but the silver needle did not change color, proving that the pill was non-toxic. Then, she put the small pill in her mouth, picked up the glass luminous cup, and drank the snow water with her head up. After Wu Zetian took the pill, she did not take out the bronze mirror to observe the effect at the first time, but closed her eyes and continued to recite the Tao Te Ching, because she believed that sincerity should have a beginning and an end.
After another stick of incense, Wu Zetian slowly picked up the bronze mirror on the desk. Look in the mirror and look at your own face. When she saw the crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, they no longer seemed to be as wrinkled as before. The heart is both surprise and trepidation. Could this be her own hallucination, she put down the bronze mirror, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, then raised the bronze mirror again, and held it closer.
No, it's not an illusion, it's reality. She lowered the bronze mirror and spun around the great palace like a child, her skirt fluttering like butterfly wings. I don't know when, Wu Zetian felt that her head seemed to become very heavy, and it seemed that she was a little carried away with joy. She leaned on the desk, lay down, her eyelids heavy, and gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three strokes in the sun. She did not summon the maid to wash and change her clothes, but hurriedly took the bronze mirror and checked her face again, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to be lighter than yesterday. It turns out that there is really an elixir in this world that can rejuvenate and rejuvenate, and a smile unconsciously hangs on the corner of his mouth.
Although his face became more pretty, Wu Zetian felt that his consciousness seemed to be blurred and dull. She summoned the national teacher and asked him why.
"Aiqing, your elixir really works, and it seems that you saw what you looked like last year. However, why do I feel groggy all day long, and I always have the urge to sleep, why? Wu Zetian was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, it is recorded in Taoist classics, this is a normal reaction, and after Your Majesty's dragon body gradually adapts, you will no longer have this feeling of trance." Ming Shi said with a hint of doubt.
"I see, Lone is relieved." Wu Zetian Dao.
"Where is the elixir, this is just a hallucinogenic drug, the user, unconscious, then paralyzed, gradually fall into a drowsy, until finally lose all normal people's stress response, become a complete vegetative person." Ming Shi is hidden.
