Chapter 73: Vitality (Fengfeng 9.15 Crown Plus 3)
All walks of life in Chang'an City have their own rules, whether ordinary people are working as soldiers, it is not easy to get a background, although Tubo is far away, but compared to the small soldiers who never come out, they can become the princess's personal guards, the treatment is not a little bit higher, and the craftsmen are the same, far away from their homeland but become the royal family, compared to their own struggle in the market, it is not the same.
Because there are quite a lot of people who respond to the call, they will be selected, and the guards are just selected, and there is no shortage of good hands from the poor people, and what they owe is just a rising channel, and the craftsmen who can achieve something basically have a certain status in the palace, and there are some assets outside, so it is rare to be truly satisfied.
A while ago, Li Yuntong was still worried about the master of brocade weaving among the entourage, and the exquisite embroidery girl of the female red was not enough, hearing the words of Xiang Niangzi, not to mention that she was happy, even the smile on Lu Dongzan's face was really a little tangible.
Tubo, there is really a shortage of such skilled craftsmen, Lou Tianxiang's calamity is caused by brocade, it is conceivable that her skills must be very superb.
There is also that Zhang Shengyuan, although the magic is not as good as Li Yuntong, but he is also a master, and when he goes to Tubo, he can also suppress the arrogance of those people in the Bon Sect.
Although happy, Li Yuntong still said with a straight face: "Are you really willing to go to Tibet? You know, where you go, you may never have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains in this life. Don't be impulsive, don't worry, whether you go to Tibet or not, I will do my best to renew Brother Zhang Dao's life, you still have to think carefully about this matter. ”
Xiang Niangzi and Zhang Shengyuan glanced at each other, if they went to Tibet, presumably Her Royal Highness the princess would do her best to continue her life, after all, in this way, they could be regarded as her subordinates.
The same thing, the people who meet in Pingshui and their own people, even emotionally, will be different.
Even if he can be distracted a little more, Zhang Shengyuan can also have a little more vitality.
After looking at each other, Xiang Niangzi nodded and said, "We have made up our minds and will not change it." Brother Yuan, he was the opponent in the Central Plains, and this time the death robbery was also caused by that, and my current identity is not suitable for staying here, but I went to Tibet, and I can have a new beginning. Not only us, but we got up early and told my mother and my sister that they were willing to go with us. I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will take it in. ”
Hearing that Lou Tianxiang was "seriously ill", Mrs. Chen took her second daughter, sold all the family wealth in Jiangning City, and planned to come to Chang'an to ask a good doctor to treat her eldest daughter.
Before, Chen Niangzi, like Lou Tianxiang, thought that Ma Wenbo was sincere to her, but later, after a long time, she saw the hearts of the people, and she knew that this son-in-law was just hypocritical, but she couldn't bear to expose it in front of her daughter.
How could a person like the Ma family, a miser like Ma Pozi, be willing to spend money on his daughter's diagnosis and treatment, but he was afraid that he was seriously ill and dragged out.
So Mrs. Chen sold her family wealth and took her second daughter who was a little stupid to Beijing together, thinking that after Lou Tianxiang recovered from her illness, they would also settle down in Chang'an City, and they would be closer to the eldest daughter, and they would take care of each other.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Chang'an City, I heard that Lou Tianxiang had died of the plague, and his body was sent to Yizhuang.
When the two of them arrived in Yizhuang, Lou Tianxiang's body had already been cremated.
Mrs. Chen fainted immediately, and happened to meet Zhang Shengyuan, so she took their mother and daughter home.
Xiang Niangzi borrowed the corpse to return the soul, they were afraid of scaring Chen Niangzi, and did not explain it to them, only said that it was Zhang Shengyuan's wife's room, said that they wanted to go to Tibet, and invited Chen Niangzi, who was a stepmother, to go with them.
Chen Niangzi lost her eldest daughter, and the second daughter was a dull girl, relying on her righteous son to be stronger than her mother and daughter, and then looking at Xiang Niangzi's gentle and amiable, the tone of her speech, the look between her eyebrows and eyes always gave her a sense of familiarity, and the appearance of their mother and daughter was like a family, so she agreed to consider it.
It is impossible to go back to Jiangning, and Chang'an can't stay, if there is no second daughter, she is fighting for her own life, and she has to bite Ma Wenbo twice, and now, she can only protect the second daughter.
It's already sad here, Mrs. Chen thought about leaving, changing places, maybe it would be good for the second daughter's illness.
Another one, Zhang Shengyuan is very affectionate, with him, after a hundred years, the second daughter can also be taken care of.
After hesitating, Mrs. Chen decided to take her second daughter to Tubo with them.
Seeing that their family was determined, Li Yuntong naturally couldn't ask for it.
This matter was decided, and after lunch, Li Yuntong and Zhang Shengyuan began to arrange the seven-star life-sustaining array to be used at night.
Three days of Shouyang is approaching, Zhang Shengyuan's spirit has been at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he has been languishing for an hour for an hour, and he has fallen to the ground at the end.
If he didn't use the Seven Star Life Continuation Array, he could only lie on the bed in the last two days of life, watching his life flow from his body little by little.
It was also at this time that Li Yuntong realized that Zhang Shengyuan's opponent was probably stronger than she imagined.
She asked Xiang Niangzi to put the smallest white jade gourd on Zhang Shengyuan, and then used the soul attraction technique to help him lock his soul inside, so that when the formation turned, his soul would leave his body and be seized by other lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Don't look at Li Yuntong's self-confidence, in fact, the seven-star life continuation array, the master took her to use it twice, and she performed it herself, and it was the first time.
The seven-star life-sustaining array used by the Daomen is to light the lamp by the person who seeks longevity every night to the ugly time and then walk the Tiangang step to ask God for longevity, and set up sixty-four flags next to the lamp according to the gossip, each flag is painted with a different immortal, after walking every day, two-thirds of the oil must be added, and then lit at night after going out, if the main lamp is extinguished on the way, it means that the destiny is so, and the life can not be extended, if the natal lamp is not extinguished for seven days, it can prolong the life of one era, and live for another twelve years.
The seven-star life-sustaining array used by Li Yuntong is more profound, using people with profound Taoism to protect the Dharma and prolong life, borrowing from the sky, because the Big Dipper in the sky echoes the seven spirits of the human body, and the qi of the seven stars will form a star, three feet above the person's head, which is also the origin of the folk saying "there are gods in the three feet on the head".
Li Ruotong recalled what her master taught her, and placed seven glass lamps on the corresponding positions of the seven key acupuncture points on Zhang Shengyuan's body that can absorb and transform life energy.
Jizhong acupoint, poor wolf star lamp.
There is a hole hanging in front of the Tianmu acupoint, and the giant gate star lamp.
Mud pill hole, Lu Cun star lamp.
Sandwich spine acupoint, Wenqu star lamp.
Life door, incorruptible star lamp.
Dantian Qi (qi) acupoint, Wuqu star lamp.
Submarine cave, Tiangang star lamp.
The seven glass lamps were placed in the position of the Big Dipper according to the celestial phenomena, and when they stood on Zhang Shengyuan's left side, it was exactly a Big Dipper pattern with the mouth facing forward and down.
After dark, the seven glass lamps were lit, and seeing the scorching light of Zhang Shengyuan's natal lamp in the middle, Li Yuntong knew that he was not mistaken.
The natal light is big and bright on behalf of good, and the light is dark and dark is small, and those who are always good will get more blessings, and those who are often evilers will get more disasters. Zhang Shengyuan has done a lot of good deeds in this life, just like his Tianxiang Building, the wealth is rolling, and he has used it for charity.
If he wasn't a good man, he wouldn't have been able to light the seven-star lamp and ask for the seven-star boy to defend him.
She doesn't have the skills of a master, saying that it is to continue her life, but in fact, she is continuing the vitality of Zhang Shengyuan's forcibly broken life, just like a tree that has dried up because of the insects biting and falling leaves, before the vitality is completely broken, catch those insects, and you can grow green leaves again and restore it to the same as before.
If the tree had been completely bitten by insects, she wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Put soul-attracting incense in the incense burner, and then lay out the rope and copper ring, and use the black dog blood powder to circle the seven-star array to cut off the peep of the lonely ghost and wild ghost, and then, as long as it is in the seven hours, these lamps must continue to renew the oil and keep it unextinguished, especially if the natal lamp is not extinguished, Zhang Shengyuan's life will be continued.
The compass was handed over to Lu Dongzan who was guarding the outer courtyard, but whenever a monk approached, the compass would be disturbed and moved, and they were informed of the information in advance, and the conch was handed over to Nuoman, if something was wrong, he would blow hard, and the sound made by the conch of this magic weapon could make the monk temporarily lose his hearing, but it could notify Li Yuntong in the inner courtyard that there was an enemy attacking.
As for the dried flowers, Li Yuntong handed them to Xiang Niangzi and told her when she saw the dried flowers suddenly bloom, it meant that the soul had been renewed.
Li Yuntong was outside the innermost room, guarding the seven-star lantern and Zhang Shengyuan in the lantern array.
In the past seven hours, every other hour, she has to add oil to the glass lamp, the lamp oil must be added from the lamp hole, and the half point cannot fall outside, every drop of oil added to the lamp hole means Zhang Shengyuan's vitality.
Xiang Niangzi and Chen Niangzi were responsible for supplying them with water and food.
As for the other servants of the Zhang family, they were all on vacation, let them go home or play, and they were only allowed to come back after two days.
After all, it's better not to let ordinary people know about such things.
……
The dark clouds slowly obscured the dim moonlight, and then dispersed again, and slowly the moon disappeared, revealing a little starlight in the sky......
When the sky was bright, six hours had passed, and the last lamp oil had been added, Li Yuntong wiped the sweat on her head, if she wasn't young, she wouldn't sleep this night, she really couldn't stay up.
As long as this last hour is over, Zhang Shengyuan's life will be renewed.
After staying up all night, Li Yuntong was already a little confused, and her eyes closed slightly.
At this moment, the sound of conch suddenly sounded, followed by Lu Dongzan's figure.
"Those crows, they've come to the door." He landed beside Li Yuntong and said with a solemn expression.
