Chapter 228: The Magic Stone
Qianguo,
Shangjing,
Greenhouse;
Qianren likes extravagance, chasing elegance, as a Qianguo official, since he is the leader of this way, in a year, may also be in the spring ploughing before the next place to make a show, teach the people the importance of spring ploughing, the rest of the time, basically do not touch the smell of fireworks.
In the war of that year, the Yan people had ravaged Shangjing, but now, in Shangjing, there are still songs and songs, dancing and dancing, you can say that the dry people have healed the scars and forgot the pain, but this is actually the embodiment of the large land and dense population of the Qianguo.
The family is big and the business is big, and it can afford to build.
In the conservatory, the official was wearing an open robe, holding a handful of dried fruits in his hand, and looked at the painter in front of him painting.
The picture scroll is very long and wide, the pen is the contemporary painting saint Xu Fangyan of the Qianguo Kingdom, on the left and right sides, is also a famous painter, on the left, is the famous master of the Jiangnan Gu Zhutong, on the right, is the palace painter Kong Mingzhou.
It's the one who grinds the seasoning next to it, and outside, it's also a well-known figure.
"Official, wait until next spring, this "Winter Solstice Snow Map" will be completed, and this work will be famous for a hundred years."
It was Yao Zizhan who spoke, dressed in white, sitting next to the official family and holding a wine glass in his hand.
It can be said that at this time, in this greenhouse, the real luck of the two ways of painting and calligraphy has gathered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even the cultural context of the entire Orient.
The official nodded, threw a fruit into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
Other diagrams,
There are those who paint spring, those who paint hot summer, and those who paint autumn fall, only he wants to paint the weather in Beijing in winter.
The prosperity of Shangjing cannot be covered by the cold winter.
This is the hustle and bustle he wants, and it is also the atmosphere he wants.
Everyone's heroism is different,
Emperor Yan likes to stand on the city, waving his hand, Jin Ge Iron Horse;
He Zhao Guan's family, what he likes is the center of the warm pavilion, looking up, all of them are Wenhua.
It's hard to say which is better or worse, in short, it's all their own.
"Master Yao."
"The official, the minister is here."
"Tianlang, this kid, I like it very much, but I'm worried that it's too easy to break, young man, when the anger comes up, I may really ignore everything. The main table has not yet opened, and if he spoils his stomach because of eating cold dishes, it will be too bad. ”
"The official family, when the minister came back from Jindi last time, he drank with Zhong Wendao, and Tianlang This child is also there, this child seems to be young but is not reckless.
As the so-called jade is not cut into a weapon, Tianlang once said to his ministers, saying that our Daqian army is afraid of Yan like a tiger, because since Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition a hundred years ago, the Yan army went south two years ago, and our Daqian army basically collapsed at the touch of a field battle, and only dared to defend the city.
Armor can be repaired, cities can be built, war horses can be raised, and soldiers can be recruited, but only this part of the martial arts in the heart cannot be won back without relying on one victory after another. ”
"It does sound like there's some truth to that."
"The youthful spirit, but it is also what I need now."
"Sharp, sharp." Zhao Guanjia stretched out his hand to pick up a cup of fruit brew, took a sip, and said: "He is a general on the front line, and he wants to destroy the city and take the head of the enemy's generals, but I am an official, and I think that he has created a lot of fame, so that the Yan people have also suffered several losses.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, cooking oil on a blazing fire is certainly refreshing and prosperous, but when the firewood is exhausted, you can really see the mess all over the place.
What I want is that the fortune of the country is eternal, not that the Northern Expedition will dissipate the Yan country, the emperor of the Yan country, he is used to gambling, if he doesn't gamble, he will have no chance to turn the tables, but you can ask him, if he has a choice, will he be willing to gamble?
Things in the world are troubled and shouting, and there are all kinds of strange things, in fact, it all depends on what is sitting under your buttocks, whether it is a wooden pier or a mahogany or a ...... Dragon chair.
It is this dragon chair, there is also its exquisiteness, a few into silver, a few into gold, inlaid with East Pearl geometry, all have differences. ”
"Yes, that's what the officials said."
"This is also the reason why I have vigorously promoted the generals in the past two years, but I still have to overhaul the civil affairs, in the first two years, I can't beat the Yan people, all the mistakes, all the blame are piled up on the civil officials, it can be, but that's too simple.
Like the emperor of Yan on the other side, the gate valve is disobedient, so he steps on the door valve, although he is happy, but the country is lightly moved, and the military leaders are numerous, if it is not for the support of the two marquis, this Yan country, even if it is prosperous for a while, is destined to end up with a second death.
Master Yao, my meaning is very simple, and the purpose of my cultivation of this "Winter Solstice Snow Treading Map" is also very clear, that is, to tell you that my national policy of giving preferential treatment to scholars and doctors will not change.
Face, I gave it, and they had to give me a step back, don't kick my nose in the face, otherwise, I don't want to learn the emperor at home, but I can't learn it. ”
"Yes, official, the minister understands."
"In addition, I am determined to reappoint a trilateral commander, and Master Yao will be burdened, so let's run around again."
"However, the officials and ministers only know the literature and ink, and they don't even know anything about this military affairs."
"Hahahaha."
"Why are the officials laughing?"
"Yao Shi's previous words, someone once said to me, he said in front of me, said to me, you, don't know soldiers."
"Oh, who dares to be so bold?"
"How is it so bold?" The official asked rhetorically.
"So bold to tell the truth."
"Hahahaha."
The official family laughed, laughing loudly, but fortunately, those Danqing saints who were busy with the "Winter Solstice Snow Treading Map" had long been accustomed to the unruliness of their own officials, so they were not affected.
"That person, Yao Shi, you should recognize, it's a Yan person."
"Zheng Fan?"
"People now have knighthoods."
"Uncle Hirano."
"The emperor of Yan is still stingy, if Zheng Fan joins my big cadres, I can make him a prince without hesitation."
"Official."
"Because I knew he wasn't coming, I had a good time."
"Official ........."
"The matter of the trilateral commander, Master Yao should not have any burden in his heart, first, this move is to calm down the criticism of the government and the opposition, and the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force has lasted for a hundred years, and it is not possible to change it overnight, as I said before, I have to take it slowly.
Second, Master Yao's temperament, I know, the position of the three-sided admiral, Master Yao can sit on it, and discuss with Zhong Wendao more about anything. ”
It is precisely because you do not know the soldiers, and you know that you do not know the soldiers, that they sent you.
"The minister understands, and the minister is willing to go."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"The official family is polite, the minister actually feels that the poems he has made for most of his life are more than graceful and sonorous enough, and he is regretting his life, and the minister is grateful to the official family for giving the minister this opportunity."
"Then I am looking forward to Yao Shi's new work in Shangjing, which must be a vast scene like a lonely sunset."
"The minister will live up to the high expectations of the officials."
At this moment,
A report came from outside the conservatory:
"Official, Mr. Houhai Xundao led the three principals of Qin Tianjian to come to meet him."
Houhai is not the sea, but a mountain in the south of the capital, the mountain is not high, but the four seasons are like spring, the flowers are splendid, and the Tibetan master is from Houhai.
After the Tibetan master Yanjing cut the dragon vein, only a half-opened white lotus was brought back by the Baili Sword, and since that day, the principal of Houhai is Mr. Seeker, who is the personal disciple of the Tibetan master.
The style of refining qi is prevalent, which can be seen just by looking at the clothes of the official family at this time.
"Oh, since Mr. Seeker is here, something must have happened, Master Yao, go with me."
……
In the pavilion outside the conservatory, the official who had changed his clothes walked slowly, and by his side, followed Yao Zizhan.
Mr. Seeker looked to be in his early thirties, and it stands to reason that it was impossible for him to be the eldest disciple of the Tibetan master at his age, because the second apprentice of the Tibetan master was over seventy years old this year.
But when the Tibetan master found this son, he thought that his luck was surprising, so he directly made an exception and accepted the apprentice on behalf of the teacher.
It's just that this exceptional move attracted a lot of criticism, and later the original disciples of the Tibetan master volunteered to live in one, so that the Taoist gentleman was able to join the queue and become a senior brother.
"Official."
Mr. Seeker did not kneel, but saluted with his handprint.
Behind him, the three Qin Heavenly Prison directors knelt down in front of the official.
Before the official asked,
Mr. Seeker said directly:
"A few days ago, a starfall appeared in the southern frontier of Houhai Guanguo, adjacent to the South China Sea."
"Starfall?"
The official family had a headache when they heard this.
They actually don't believe much in the ghosts and gods, and in fact, the ministers won't believe it, but this does not prevent the ministers who don't believe in these statements from using this matter to beat him as an official, and accuse themselves of perverse behavior.
It just so happens that in the past two years, he has been promoting the status of military generals, which has made civil officials very uncomfortable.
Mr. Xundao doesn't have these twists and turns, he came to the palace, and he never came to pat the official's sycophants, and the relationship between Houhai and the royal family of Qianguo has always been an equal relationship.
And the royal family of Qianguo has always had the rules for the princes of the past dynasties to enter the gate of Houhai, but this rule was good at the beginning, and then it slowly changed its taste, which is basically equivalent to the Huxin Pavilion of Yan Kingdom, and the princes who failed in the political struggle will be sent to Houhai to be the qi refiner.
"Official, this starfall is not trivial, and the Houhai cultivators have calculated that this starfall in my southern Xinjiang is not only single, but the four elephants are connected."
"The four elephants are connected by a gas machine?" The official asked with some curiosity, "That means that there are three more?" ”
"Yes, there are stars falling in the western frontier of Yan, there are stars falling in the eastern frontier of Jin, and there are stars falling in Daze of Chu;
Although this Samsung has not been tested personally, it is bound to be the case with the existence of the Four Elephants Qi Machine. ”
The official frowned slightly and asked, "What is the explanation of this image?" ”
Mr. Seeker took a deep breath,
Stretch out your arms,
Lang Dao:
"Summoned by the four elephants and stars, it is a world of great contention! According to the ancient books, this astrological sign has appeared twice, once, in the past when the Great Xia Dynasty, this omen appeared, the Great Summer Son Zeng Yun, the place where the stars fell, are all my territory;
Therefore, there are Yan Hou, Jin Hou, and Chu Hou, who hold the Great Summer Order to open up the territory for Zhuxia.
After the second appearance, within half a year, two generations of Daxia Zi died as soon as they succeeded to the throne, the Great Xia Palace was in turmoil, Xia Ding was lost, and Daxia was destroyed.
The three marquis of Yanhou, the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Chu established the country and opened the temple since then! ”
The founding of the Qianguo was the latest among the four major powers, and it did not belong to the same column.
The official said in a deep voice:
"Then, according to Mr. Seeker, what is the sign of the reappearance of the four-elephant star this time? I actually knew about the world of the great controversy that Mr. said earlier, and I wanted to know more specifically. ”
"Your Majesty, the will of heaven is unpredictable."
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Seeker came today just to say this to me? ”
Mr. Seeker knelt down, but instead of kneeling towards the official's house, he was facing the east:
"One is the beginning, two is life, and three is the end."
The official closed his eyes, took a long time, and said, "I know." ”
Mr. Xundao got up and said, "The official family is blessed." ”
In other words,
Mr. Seeker left.
The three directors of the Qin Heavenly Prison, who had come with them earlier, stood beside them.
The official waved his hand and said, "You guys should also step down." ”
"The ministers are leaving."
When all the people in the pavilion are gone,
The official family looked at Yao Zizhan with a smile on his face and said:
"What does Master Yao think?"
"It depends on what the officials think."
"Everyone in the world says that Yao Shi is a good gentleman, no one wants to offend, and the son of Shang Jia is born, and he can write words to celebrate him; If the martial artist cultivates for a breakthrough, he can compose poems to cater to him; There is no threshold posture of Wensheng, but I know that Yao Shi has always been indifferent to Houhai. ”
"Official's Wisdom."
"I know why, I actually do the same, I like to wear Taoist robes, but I think Taoist robes are good-looking and comfortable to wear, in Yao Shi's poems, I have written countless times of immortal affection, fairy characters, but I don't mention Houhai, I think it's the same as me, I think what the people of Houhai do is nothing more than a trick to deceive the world and steal fame?"
"Minister, don't dare."
"What don't you dare, the Tibetan master went to Yanjing and cut the dragon vein, how did the emperor do it, come on, quickly cut down the real dragon and let me see!
Hahaha,
Although I shouldn't laugh, I can't help but laugh every time I think about it.
Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, this is the name of the emperor, the emperor, the supreme in the world, why is it added to the name of the Son of Heaven? It is the impermanence of the sky, and because the sky does not exist, it is called the Son of Heaven.
Since God doesn't exist, it's not a big deal to recognize a father, and he can't point fingers anyway.
Those qi refiners, who practice the Tao of immortality behind closed doors, or refine the alchemy pill are almost enough, but they want to act on behalf of the heavens, and they are often looking at the heavens, and they are full of thoughts about climbing above the Son of Heaven to be powerful.
What if the Tibetan master cut off the dragon vein?
Didn't he Yan people still beat me to the capital?
The Jin Kingdom, the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, isn't it all in the Yan soil now?
Believing in these things is spiritual, and not believing is just the same thing.
As Mr. Seeker said earlier, in the world of great contention, I need him to teach me?
The so-called one-two-three, hahaha, after the fight, isn't it one-two-three, it's obviously a very simple truth, but I don't dare to divulge the heavenly secrets, and I really think I'm the first emperor? ”
Yao Zizhan took a deep breath,
Kneel down very solemnly,
Road:
"The official family has this ambition and this courage, minister, congratulations for the official family, and congratulations for the great Qian!"
"It's a pity, I'm much younger than Master Yao, and I'm better at taking care of my body than Master Yao, so I'm sure I'll be behind Master Yao, and if I can walk in front of Master Yao, I can expect Master Yao to write more good words and sentences for me to praise.
By the way, Yang Zhong's old dog I don't plan to recruit him back this time, first, this old dog has been operating on the three sides for a long time, and he is also familiar with the situation there. ”
Yang Zhong is the former governor of the three sides, Yang Taiwei, and he is a eunuch.
"The official family can rest assured, the minister understands Captain Yang."
"You, you, everyone knows. Okay, okay, today's rare good Yaxing don't be spoiled by those gods, let's continue to warm up the pavilion and enjoy the paintings. ”
……
Some people worry about the celestial phenomena, some people ponder for the celestial phenomena, and some people seem to disdain.
someone
is dissecting celestial phenomena.
"I'm busy." These are Liang Cheng's words.
The lord will lead the army to Chu State after a while, and Liang Cheng has to be busy selecting the accompanying sergeants, which must be elite, but also cannot affect the training and integration process of the main body of the Xue Customs after the lord leaves.
"I'm busier than you, I only have tonight, Ming'er, I also have to take someone to Chu to explore the way first, you hurry up, that's the last point, you try it with your fingernails, be careful, can you cut it?"
"Do you need to go through such trouble?"
"Isn't there no high-precision equipment now, your nails must be better than my file, there is only this piece left, you be careful, I'm afraid that there are good things in it that I accidentally destroy."
"Do you think you're gambling on stones?" Liang Cheng asked.
"Isn't it just gambling stones, hurry up and don't rub it, it doesn't matter if your nails are damaged, anyway, if you don't go this time, you can raise your nails at the Snow Customs."
Liang Cheng didn't refuse in the end, stepped forward, ten nails slowly grew, and began to cut according to Xue San's command.
"Slow, yes, slow, cut a little more to the left, be careful, be careful."
"Yes, yes, a little deeper."
"Slow, slow, good, good, cut again."
finally
Cut out.
A round meteorite the size of an adult man, and at the end, only a palm-sized red stone was cut out.
Liang Cheng's nails are fine.
Xue San took the stone and looked at it carefully, there was no amber luster, and the weight was not very heavy.
"Damn, I thought I could at least open a piece of legendary Mithril or something, and let Lao Tzu forge a weapon or something, this thing is not metal at all."
"I told you a long time ago, don't get your hopes up." Liang Cheng put away his hand and prepared to leave, and said, "The blind man was still thinking about whether there was a cold ice or dark iron before. ”
"Tut-tut, forget it, I'll take this over and hand it over to the Lord."
Xue San took this up and entered the back house.
Inside the back house,
Zheng Fan is playing games with Xiao Tiantian, and Xiao Tiantian has always liked his godfather, even if this godfather likes to beat his ass.
Xue San just walked in with the red stone,
Suddenly
A black mist came straight at him.
", magic pill, you're sick, it's Lao Tzu!"
Xue San was athletic and dodged the raid of the demon pill, but the stone that he was originally holding in his hand fell.
The black mist went and returned, and in an instant it disappeared into the red stone.
Followed by
The color of the black mist began to change gradually, and among the red stones, the figure of the demon pill appeared, but the eye sockets of the demon pill were no longer deep black, but revealed a red luster.
The red stone kept flying around the magic pill, and faintly, it actually revealed an amber luster, as if there was a light source coming from it.
Xue San subconsciously touched his chin,
Talking to himself:
"It's okay, it's not a loss, it's just a new nest for the magic pill."
This stone is not a metal, but it seems to have a great attraction to the soul body.
At this moment,
The aura on the demon pill's body suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
Xue San's face immediately showed a look of surprise,
Is this going to be advanced?
All the demon kings have secretly done experiments to see if they can get out of the possibility of the Lord to get advanced.
The aura of the magic pill fluctuates, indeed, indeed......
At this time, Zheng Fan also sensed it, and hugged Xiao Tiantian to look here.
And after the demon pill worked hard, suddenly, the aura on his body suddenly dissipated into nothingness, leaving only his original appearance, and even, he could feel his exhaustion.
Obviously, the previous Demon Pill took advantage of this opportunity to try to advance, but it still failed.
It seems that there is really a pair of hands in the underworld, completely "strangleholding" the demon kings and Zheng Fan together.
Xue San also sighed, his expression a little lost.
Zheng Fan turned around and continued to tease Xiao Tiantian, as if he hadn't seen anything in the previous scene.
Sometimes, you have to be confused.
And the magic pill, who had rested for a while, floated over with his new stone and began to continue to play the game of "I kick myself" with Xiao Tiantian.
Zheng Fan accompanied Xue San out of the house,
"That's it?"
"Lord, that's really what happened."
"Oh, I thought I could open some kind of heaven and earth treasure, but it's okay, maybe it's some kind of material that is more suitable for the soul, right?"
"The lord is wise, and his subordinates guess that it may be the magic crystal that Western magicians often say."
"Doesn't it look sparkling?"
"But if the soul power enters it, it will be transparent, just like before."
"Well, if there is a chance in the future, let's go to the West and have a look."
Xue San hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, when the battle is over, we can plan to go down to the south of the Yangtze River or go to the west to have fun." ”
Zheng Fan said with a smile; "And no conflict."
"Huh?" Xue San didn't understand what it meant.
"It's the same while fighting and watching at the same time."
