Although it is cold and freezing in the lunar month, it is also busy and lively because the Chinese New Year is approaching and various festivals are being prepared.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the lunar month, this day was an important festival, and the three of them were busy separately, which was very fulfilling.

Since ancient times, rituals have been held to worship ancestors and gods, including the god of the door, the god of the household, the god of the house, the god of the stove and the god of the well, to pray for the gods to bless the new year with good luck.

Taoism also records that the eighth day of the lunar month is the princely La, and the five emperors determine the place of the living on this day, accept the Lu division, and inject 36,000 divine energy. On this day, you can apologize, prolong your life, stabilize the gods, change your name, change your poverty, bathe, sacrifice to the first dead, and worship the heavenly officials.

The eighth day of the lunar month is also a major festival of Buddhism. Legend has it that the Buddha Shakyamuni sat under the Bodhi tree for 48 days, until the seventh day of the lunar month. On this night, when the sky was clear and the wind was peaceful, the Buddha sat upright on the throne of Vajra, showing all kinds of meditation realms, looking at the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions and all things in the past, present and future lives, and gaining insight into the cause and effect of the three worlds. In the early morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, the stars appeared in the sky, and Shakyamuni suddenly realized that he had attained the supreme path and became a Buddha who was fully enlightened.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, when Shakyamuni became a Buddha, the earth shook, the heavens, gods and people praised together, and many sufferings of the three realms of hell, hungry ghosts, beasts, and animals rested for a while, and the heavenly drums sounded in unison, and the heavenly rain mandala flowers, manshusha flowers, golden flowers, silver flowers, glazed flowers, treasure flowers, and seven treasure lotus. Since then, the eighth day of the lunar month is the enlightenment day of the Buddha Shakyamuni, and it has become a grand and solemn anniversary of Buddhism.

Therefore, the three of them were very busy on this day, and by the time they returned to their lodgings to meet in the evening, it was already the third watch.

"I'm so tired!" Shao Hui stretched his waist, he is now familiar with Buddhist etiquette, first accompanied Wu Zetian to pray in the palace, and then went back to the White Horse Temple to do rituals, Zhang Changzong has always accompanied him, and the relationship between the two seems to be getting more and more iron.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a particularly good mood today, he has been talking and laughing all day, and he has taught me to read!" Shao Hui recalled what he had done throughout the day.

"What? she taught you how to read?" Chengshan was a little surprised. "Don't you know how to read?"

"Besides, I really don't know each other. ”

"Childish!"

"Then I'll test you a simple one. Shao Hui glanced at Chengshan. "The 'one' above, the 'life' of the next one, what is this word?"

"It's a 'human' word. Chengshan smiled slightly, this kind of thing couldn't be difficult for him at all. These are all new words made by Wu Zetian himself, how could he suddenly take them out and ask Shao Hui, did he mean to tease him?

It turned out that Wu Zetian created twenty new Chinese characters during his reign. It is said that it is a new character, but in fact, it is to change the glyph of the original existing word, and to complicate or even seal the original part, so as to show off her wisdom, greatness, erudition and wisdom to all beings in the world, and express her wish for ten thousand years of imperial rule and long-term peace of mind. The words heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars reflect Wu Zetian's awe and respect for nature, which is indeed intriguing.

These characters created by Wu Zetian are basically words used in the table and seal, mainly the year name, year, month and day and the relationship between the monarch and the minister. Through the recital, Wu Zetian knew at a glance whether the minister had adopted the new characters she recommended, and judged whether he obeyed his actions to change the dynasty.

Although Shao Hui also knew a little about ancient characters, he had never seen or heard of these characters made by Wu Zetian, because most of the Chinese characters made by Wu Zetian were later discarded.

"You actually know!" Shao Hui was a little surprised, but he understood when he saw Chengshan's disdainful expression. When they collect spiritual power, they are actually collecting knowledge, and it is not surprising that they know these Chinese characters.

"The Chinese characters she made are really interesting!" Shao Hui continued to say excitedly.

She only changed it when she saw that some words were not pleasing to her eyes. It seemed that Chengshan wanted to show off his vast knowledge.

"Take 'people' as an example, one by one. Wu Zetian felt like a man with open legs, looking very unpleasant, so he used 'life' to refer to people. ”

"Besides, the 'land' of the land, the left 'soil' and the right 'also', Wu Zetian doesn't like it either, and feels that it is not atmospheric enough. So he arranged the 'mountain, water and soil' up and down to form the 'land' that he was satisfied with, which is really a bit lofty. ”

"The word 'jun' of the monarch is ugly, unsightly and not beautiful, so it was changed to such a strange thing. ”

"I see, she is freewheeling, and she can change it as she wants. Shao Hui couldn't help but sigh a little.

"What is this? There are only two or three other emperors' era names, and at most seven or eight, but she alone has made more than ten era names, and she has changed them three times in a year. ”

"Wu Zetian is really powerful!"

"Nonsense. Chengshan was no longer surprised, but he felt that Gongsun Yu had been silent beside him, so he was a little puzzled.

"Gongsun Yu, what are you doing today?"

"I went to the Mystic Temple. ”

"And then?"

And then he came back. Gongsun Yu looked thoughtful.

"What, what's the bad news?" Chengshan saw the mystery.

"Yuan Yijie is gone. ”

"What?" both Shao Hui and Cheng Shan were a little surprised. "When?"

"It's been days. Gongsun Yu looked at the two of them. "Bailixuan found me today and told me about it, let's be careful. ”

"Isn't it nice to see him that day?"

"That's right, why did you suddenly disappear?" Chengshan also recalled that after he had just "enlightened his mind", he was also running around freely, and Gongsun Yu did not restrict his movements.

"I was like that at the beginning, is there something wrong?"

"It stands to reason that after Yijie becomes a spirit collector, he should come and go freely, and Bailixuan has no right to interfere. Maybe he's overthinking, but we'd better be careful. Gongsun Yu said lightly.

"What are you doing today?" Shao Hui looked at Chengshan.

"I went to Hallymin Temple and Shubunkan to talk to them about what had happened recently. Chengshan smiled slightly.

"It's as simple as that, nothing else?" Shao Hui's eyes seemed to have bad intentions.

"What else can you do? At most, give them a prediction of the future. ”

"You didn't say anything, did you?" Gongsun Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, he felt that although Chengshan was not as arrogant as before, he still felt good about himself.

Many of the words are unintentional by the speakers, but intentional by the listeners, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are all smart and wise, if they hear something strange, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay, don't worry! I didn't talk nonsense, I just comforted them that they were good officials, the foundation of Datang was stable, and there would be no chaos for a while. "Chengshan really didn't talk much in the Hanlin Academy, he didn't like those nerds, and he didn't like to write poetry with them.

He spent more time in the Xiuwen Pavilion, and he tossed around in the Xiuwen Pavilion for a whole afternoon, which was really refreshing, and he still couldn't get enough of it in retrospect.

However, he felt that Shangguan Wan'er was chatting more and more deeply, and kept asking Chengshan's views on the current situation, and he had already forgotten the three chapters of the covenant that did not talk about political affairs.

"Can a scholar tell fortunes?" Wan'er combed her hair and leaned against Chengshan's body.

"A little bit of it. ”

"Why don't you help me calculate, what will be the fortune next year?" Wan'er's eyes were very bright, although she was a little tired, but she still looked very shrewd.

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know what will happen to everyone next year, such as Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, King Liang, ......."

"There's so much you want to know!" Seongsan stroked Wan'er's long hair.

"Isn't it okay?" Wan'er was coquettish again.

"No problem, how could it not? But I'm going to follow the map. ”

"According to the map?" Wan'er was a little puzzled, and didn't understand what Chengshan meant?

"Yes, Fuluan invites immortals. ”

Fuluan is also called Fuping, also known as Fuji, lifting the basket, waving the Luan, lowering the pen, inviting immortals, Bu Zigu, the writing of Confucianism and Taoist classics, or the Q&A with the immortals are often adopted this method. It is to find someone to play the role of being possessed by the gods, this kind of person is called Luan Sheng or 乩身, and the gods will possess Luan Sheng and write some handwriting to convey the thoughts of the gods, and in this way, believers communicate with the gods to understand the meaning of the gods.

Wan'er became interested when she heard it. "I'll order them to bring pens and sand tables, but I don't have a boy here, so it's better for you to teach them. ”

"You don't have to go through so much trouble, Luan Tu already has. Chengshan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was playing tricks.

"Where's Luantu?" Wan'er was a little puzzled.

"Under you. Chengshan smiled slightly.

Wan'er looked down at Chengshan's fingers, and her face turned red.

"You're teasing me again!"

"How dare you dare? This Luan diagram absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, has to create mysteries, and uses it to explain the prophecy, which is the most suitable. Chengshan couldn't help laughing when he saw Wan'er's face flushed.

"What if you lie to me?" Wan'er didn't expect Chengshan to be so naughty that he would joke about such a thing.

"Listen to the fall, no complaints!"

"Okay, I'll let you solve this diagram. ”

"You get up first, you can't press the treasure map, otherwise I won't be able to see clearly!"

Wan'er hid her face and smiled, hurriedly got off the bed, and put on a light gauze dress.

Through the soft white veil, you can see Wan'er's smooth skin, and there seems to be a different flavor between the hazy, which makes Chengshan can't help but feel a little flurry, and want to move.

However, he still decided to get down to business first, after all, this was entrusted by Wan'er, and he just took this opportunity to let her rest and rest.

Chengshan held up the silk sheet under them with both hands, looked at it carefully, as if admiring a masterpiece, and then turned his head to look at Wan'er standing next to him.

"This picture is majestic and magnificent, it can be called a masterpiece, Wan'er, you also contribute a lot!"

"Hugh has to say more, speak quickly. Wan'er's cheeks are like pink peach petals, although she is wearing a light veil, her slender figure is undoubtedly revealed.

"I'm going to start talking, you have to hear clearly!"
