Chapter 64, the Mid-Autumn Festival has no moon and the sky changes (no moon)
After a while, the three of them drew the moonscape they had just sensed on the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The three of them were surprisingly unanimous in their hearts at the moment, that is, they were not sure. I don't know why, even the hidden Golden Daoist felt that the external moonscape that he had just discovered by his internal breath made him feel very uncertain.
Moreover, the moonlight drawn by the three of them is not much different at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that each person's is extremely different.
The roundest one is drawn by Xia Fanxing, neatly like a piece of cake, embedded in the canopy. He's done his best, and he seems to be satisfied. The brightest, Ji Yanliu didn't know what painting method was used, and the moon that was drawn was set off by the surrounding night. But there are some gaps around it, and it is not complete. It seems that her painting attainments are far better than Xia Fanxing's, not as stiff as his.
And the most strange thing about the moon scene painted by Jin Daoist is that the moon he painted has two small notches on both sides, which looks nondescript. However, this is what he has just sensed with all his might.
"It seems that all of you have drawn different things, so let's go down and see what this Mid-Autumn Moon looks like. Li Wan opened his mouth, got up, and everyone followed him and walked downstairs.
As soon as I got to the second floor, the banquet had already begun. Countless famous families and children of big officials filled every table. When they saw the two princes and the three big officials beside them, they all crossed the idea of wanting to go up and set up a trap for a moment. But after the atmosphere stagnated for a while, they all went to drink. Because Prince Li Wan is famous for his humility and does not like others to be polite.
A few people walked to the end of the aisle, there was an open-air platform, and they looked at it by the railing, all wanting to see what the moon looked like.
However, as far as the eye can see, except for the starry sky and the clear night, there is no moon!
That's right, there is no rain and no clouds, the sky is full of stars, and on August 15, there is no trace of the moon in the sky!
Daoist Jin frowned deeply. Li Wan looked back at the rich and noble children who were feasting, presumably they didn't see this extremely strange scene. A cloud of suspicion instantly enveloped the hearts of several people.
The silence seemed surprisingly long, and finally it was the voice of the Golden Daoist who broke the deadlock, "There is no moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival... Mid-Autumn Festival without moon... I can't think of it, I can't think of it. ”
The atmosphere was very stagnant, Xia Fanxing smiled bitterly, and quipped: "According to our sect, Fairy Chang'e dislikes Hou Yi......
But no one came back from the dreary atmosphere, and neither did Ji Yanliu. No matter how different the paintings made by the three of them just now, the result of true breath induction will not be moonless!
For the five mortal nobles, there is no moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no bright moon in the clear sky, what is the heavens doing? What does the heavens want to tell them?
Xia Fanxing and Ji Yanliu coincidentally thought of the legend about the "reincarnation border". There is a full moon in the sky, there is reincarnation on the earth, and only when the moon is full on the night can the door of the reincarnation boundary be opened, and the heaven and earth are connected for a moment, which is the law of "fairy dust" in the operation of the heavenly way. If there is no moon... Could it be that today, there is a deficiency in the way of heaven?
"Your Highness, the poor Taoist skills are shallow, and they can't break this opportunity, and it is even more reasonable that the two little friends can't see it. I'm sorry. The Golden Daoist suppressed all the thoughts that surged in his heart and saluted.
"It doesn't matter... Anyway. Li Wan waved his hand, and his mind was completely occupied by this strange thing without a moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yang Qing followed him, and there was an inexplicable panic in his heart. Li Wan remembered some things, some secrets in the palace, and some secrets in the court. The Confucianism of "heaven and man induction" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and what will the moonless moon tonight sign?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Suddenly, an uncontrollable exclamation from the room pulled everyone's thoughts back. Then everyone's voices rang out in unison, and a neat bow sounded. Only then did Li Wan realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the third emperor brother Li Heng, would also come to the moon viewing party tonight!
Li Wan took the lead in bowing, and Li Xu followed. Several people behind him bowed down one after another. Xia Fanxing dragged Ji Yanliu, who was still unknown, she pouted her lips a little reluctantly, and Xia Fanxing's voice came from the bow at the same time, "It's okay, it's okay, bear with it... He's a prince..."
When the movement inside subsided and the sound of eating and drinking sounded again, Li Wan walked in, and Yang Qing's second uncle was sitting on a table in the corner with Li Heng talking. Li Heng saw the two imperial brothers walking towards him, sat on the seat and greeted him with a smile: "The imperial brother is just admiring the moon? Lord Han, Lord Geshu, Lord Wu." And these are your new Taoist friends, Brother Huang?"
When Li Wan faced Li Heng, his expression was a little unnatural. But he still smiled and said, "Brother Huang came over just now, he should have seen the moonless tonight, right?" he said this and lowered his voice, not wanting this news to panic the people around who had been staying indoors. He looked at the Third Emperor Brother, as if he wanted to get an explanation from him.
Li Heng looks more serious, with good facial features, and can be said to be very emperorly. The corners of his mouth smiled, and he said slowly: "This king has never been interested in these Heavenly Mandate Doctrines. If there is no moon, there will be no moon, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
It seems that he knows this royal brother of his very well. Li Wan's doubts because of the lack of moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival were all seen through by him at a glance. However, Li Heng does not seem particularly worried. Since ancient times, there have been changes in the world, and they will be linked to the word "karma". And Li Henggui is the crown prince, but he looks down on him so much, which can be regarded as an outlier.
Xia Fanxing sneered, and heard Li Wan say: "I hope it is as the imperial brother said." ”
Li Heng smiled, got up and said, "Go upstairs, it's not interesting to stay here." Wait for Li Hanlin and Du Shiyi to come and come down to have a look. ”
The crowd went upstairs and re-seated. Yang Qing instructed his subordinates to hurry up and bring food to the prince. When entertaining Li Heng, the food and wine served were very expensive. The ingredients are bird's nest, scarlet lips, etc., and the wine drunk is also the palace royal wine Jiannan Roast Spring.
After the crown prince Li Heng came, Xia Fanxing and Ji Yanliu obviously felt that the atmosphere was much more serious than before. Seeing that Golden Daoist and the two junior disciples behind him, they were all standing behind Li Wan with their hands behind their backs, respectful and respectful, and they looked a little cramped. The three adults also drank their wine in small sips, and the corners of their eyes paid attention to Li Heng's face from time to time. Yang Qing saw that the crown prince was coming, and after respectfully saluting, he said that as the host, he was going downstairs to entertain guests. After all, Li Heng has always been serious here, how dare she talk to Prince Jinggong?
And Li Heng and the two cronies he brought with him behaved elegantly and appropriately during the banquet, and their words and deeds were etiquette.
When Li Wan introduced Xia Fanxing and the others to Li Heng, Li Heng, who made it clear that he was not interested in cultivation, also behaved lukewarmly. It's just that there is a bit of meaning in Ji Yanliu's eyes, this aunt looks good!
And this crown prince is also very fond of talking about political affairs. Li Wan can only echo him. Ji Yanliu felt very bored, but Xia Fanxing listened very seriously, and at the same time silently observed their expressions and actions, he also wanted to know what the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty was.
After talking for a while, Li Heng turned his head to look at him as if he had just discovered the Golden Daoist, and said in a joking tone: "Mr. Jin has been Ah Wan's best friend for a long time, right?"
When Daoist Jin heard this, his expression was imperceptibly solemn, and he stepped forward and saluted, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
"This king is not interested in your cultivation, Taoism, or anything like that. However, things like heavenly deduction, fortune telling, divination and the like, although not the mainstream, but this king likes it very much. ”
Halfway through speaking, he looked around, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Recently, this king has heard about two major events. First, there have been many rumors about this matter before, Fanyang County, that is, the jurisdiction of Anqing An Lushan, began to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens for the opening of that spiritual vein. In addition, the whole county was under martial law ten days ago, and the movement of people inside and outside the county had to be registered. When the advisor Li Mi told the king about this matter, he also mentioned that the Fanyang government acted arbitrarily, and outsiders could not be allowed to enter Fanyang without suitable reasons and bribes. The trade of the past ten days has also been stagnant for a while. ”
"The second thing," Li Heng said with a serious expression, "the water suddenly flooded two days ago, and there was no heavy rain or other reasons before. Several surrounding cities have suffered serious losses, and a large number of residents have been displaced, and the imperial court has now sent officials to appease the people. ”
Li Heng stood up and said, "Plus today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sky is clear and there is no moon. This king didn't care about this matter downstairs, not because he wasn't worried about the strangeness of the world, but because he didn't want to talk about it. At this point, I hope Mr. Jin, your Taoism is unfathomable, can you calculate it..."
His voice was lowered, and he said, "My Great Tang, how is your luck today?"
Big brother, they're already on the move. Xia Fanxing's thoughts were far away again, and it was reasonable to close Fan Yang, the ceremony held because of the war was very different from the sacrifice to the sky held for ordinary things. Although it is now Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, but it is definitely not possible to come openly, in case it is seen by people outside, An Lushan will definitely be attacked by the imperial court as soon as possible.
Moreover, the Fan water around Fan Yang flooded for no reason, this is already the will of God, and it is necessary to finally save the Tang Dynasty's qi.
There is even more chaos in Jiwen's mysterious organization inside, even if people's hearts are towards Tang, under this double blow, is it really going to change the sky?
Although he is a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect, he is here now, and he and Qin Blind have made so many efforts, isn't he just trying to do his best for the fate of the Tang Dynasty? Xia Fanxing is very principled in this regard, if he does not touch the interests of the sect, he will do what he wants, and do what he wants! If it is really the Hu people who have entered the Central Plains, thinking about the rumors about the three counties of Fanyang these days, how can An Lushan be the ruler of the world?
Another very important point is that he heard from his master Xinheng that his parents were attached to this Tang court. He doesn't want to be separated from his parents forever without seeing each other. Although he didn't know how to find them, or even if they were still alive now.
But he had to do what he could! If the sect gave a wrong order that could not be resisted, he would also alleviate this sin. Moreover, he has just climbed out of the bottom of the lost valley of life, and he is accompanied by Ji Yanliu, Senior Sister Hou, and Master Huaxian and Master. Since I have these beautiful things, then I Xia Fanxing hopes that this world can also be a sunny day!
Immersed in his emotions, Xia Fanxing ignored the conversation of everyone just now. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Daoist Jin was embarrassed, unwilling to express his opinion on such a sensitive topic, and tried to excuse himself: "Your Highness, you may not know that what the minister cultivates is the Star Sea Dharma Sect of the seven sects in the Daomen, and it is really a little ...... to deduce this heavenly opportunity."
Li Heng smiled again and said, "Is Mr. Jin bullying this king for ignorance of the cultivation path? How could you not have learned the divine method of your sect and the art of the two combinations of the star palaces of the Nine Lotus Sect, the first major sect in Middle Earth, how could you not have learned the divine method of your sect and the art of the two combinations of the star palaces? This method can fuse the star palace in the monk's body with other close star palaces to form the main and auxiliary forces, thus producing a unique double star palace dao body, learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses, and the power is infinite!"
Disciple of the Nine Lotus Sect!Xia Fanxing's brain was shocked, no wonder this person was so unfathomable, he actually came from the Nine Lotus Sect, which was recognized as the number one sect in Middle Earth, located on the border between the Bohai Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. And it's six generations of ten disciples! You must know that the history of the Nine Lotus Sect is even a little longer than that of the Tu Feng Sect, and now it has been passed down to the seventh generation of disciples. This sect cultivates the Sea of Stars method, and has a variety of exclusive secret methods. There were fifteen of the Turning Monks, and the Yuanying Monks were all in the tens of them! Even a hundred years ago, an immortal had just ascended. Ten years ago, there was even a scattered immortal who was born and hid in the Bohai Sea to prepare for the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and planned to impact the true immortal karma.
Speaking of which, there are too many grievances and grievances between the Nine Lotus Sect and the Tu Feng Sect, which are both ancient sects.
"Besides, the Constellation Sea Method is compatible with all things, and the Heavenly Machine Method is even closer to it. Anyway, this king doesn't believe it, and Mr. doesn't know anything about the Heavenly Machine. ”
"And tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonless Mid-Autumn Festival, it can be said that it is the time of the change of heaven and earth. If your guess is correct, this king thinks this should be a good time for divination of the Heavenly Dao, right?"
Li Wan's brows immediately furrowed. There was an extra layer of unkindness in the eyes of the imperial brother who looked at him.
Several close ministers around him also deeply felt that something was wrong. This prince Li Heng obviously has no interest in Taoism, but he has learned so much information about Taoism in advance. The identity of Jin Qifa is only known to Li Wan's close ministers, and this point is also understood by Li Heng. It can be seen that he has prepared well in advance! He just wants to ask Daoist Jin about this sensitive topic.
Moreover, if Jin Qifa can't tell the reason, he won't lose; if he has any bad words, it will become a big handle for Li Heng to deal with Li Wan!
Li Wan's delicate face was also a little unconcealable anger at this time.
He didn't expect that this imperial brother, who had never had much contact with him, would actually plan to trap him! He, Li Wan, had never been particularly concerned about political affairs, and he had no intention of becoming the crown prince. All day long, he is just obsessed with Taoism and poetry, what does Li Heng want to do!
And Jin Qifa saw that he couldn't escape from this, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay." But please Your Highness to get pen and paper for the poor road, suddenly the poetry is booming, and when I finish the deduction, I will give you the limerick poem of the poor road. ”
The title of "minister" before the golden period law has also become poor, and the atmosphere seems a little heavy. And Li Heng didn't care about these details.
Jin Qifa took out some simple talismans and hung them in the air to make comparisons, and Xia Fanxing and the others couldn't understand the process of doing it. After a moment, he sat down to the side and picked up his pen.
Xia Fanxing suddenly became nervous. To be honest, he really wanted to see that the Golden Period Method, who was born in the Nine Lotus Sect, could really say something, instead of being perfunctory. Now he is also very concerned about the political situation and luck of the Tang Dynasty. And these ignorant Ji Yanliu also have some expectations for Jin Daoshi's poems in her heart - what is the luck of the Tang Dynasty that makes her Xia Lang care so much?
The rest were all close to Li Wan, not to mention their reactions. Especially Li Wan, secretly clenched his fists, Jin Daochang, you have to write honestly!
