Chapter 58: Base Summoning
"You two are very good, have a good night, the dog meat tastes good." The old emperor looked at General Sima and Shangguan County Commander who were trembling at their feet, and said mockingly.
Every move of the two of them had already been reported to the emperor in detail by the prison army, and of course, the emperor also knew that his general did not disobey his will, and the dog's blood was spilled, arrows were shot, and knives were cut, but the opponent was too strange for his generals to resist or deal with. Otherwise, how could he let these two scum still lie in front of him alive.
"Come on, give me this old thief Sima, give me, lock me up!" Liu Che dragged the sentence "Drag me out and cut it" and suffocated back.
"You" looked at the Chang'an order, and didn't know what to do for a while, Shangguan County Order didn't have to follow, he was a county order, not a general, but he was afraid of a repeat of the tragedy of the Northern Army, stiffened his neck, and bet that Liu Chang didn't kill him the first time, and he wouldn't kill him the second time, so he followed, although, when he said it, he licked his face and rubbed his back to take a bath, and he drank wine with him, but after all, there was nothing wrong with it, the old emperor pondered for a long time, and finally had to say: "Get out, go back to your county office" to be out of sight and out of mind.
"I'm going to meet him myself and see if he's three-headed and six-armed."
When he saw General Sima walking out of the hall with two guards with a blushing face, a nameless fire couldn't help but burst out. Lao Tzu sincerely begged the immortals, but none of the immortals appeared, Lao Tzu was dead to the immortals, and such a demon appeared.
"Your Majesty think twice!"
Before the emperor could finish speaking, all the ministers fell to their knees, surprisingly neat, and there was no exception. If you go, we have to follow, you have three layers of forbidden guards inside, three layers outside, what should we do?
These ancestors and grandchildren are too terrible, one closes his eyes and kills, and the other stares and kills. We don't dare to get involved in the affairs of your grandparents and grandchildren. Now that this evil star is not looking for trouble, it is too late for us to be happy, how dare we take the initiative to provoke that thing that I don't know if it is a ghost or a demon.
The emperor did not come, but General Sima and Shangguan County Ling came together the next day.
In the court, under the persuasion of the ministers, the emperor finally gave up his plan to go in person, but another urgent matter, in front of the ministers, especially Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu and Sosu Tingwei Sang Hongyang--- regardless of the treasury or the treasury, there was not a penny, not even military expenses and disaster relief funds, and the entire empire was truly destitute.
This is not the most fatal, what is even worse is that the debt of that evil star has not been paid off, even if it is urgently transferred from other places now, no one dares to guarantee that it will not be looted again by this pervert.
After the emperor retired from the court, the three princes and nine kings conspired for the first time to release General Sima and let him negotiate with Liu Chang together with Shangguan County Order. Of course, it's better to be able to get the robbed money back, or if you don't come back, let Liu Chang stop robbing it, at least not recently. The negotiation is over, the three princes and nine Qings will write together to ask for credit for him, of course, if the negotiation fails, I'm sorry, continue to go back to the small black house to stay, and wait for the emperor to think of you one day and let you out.
"Finished?" When Lord Shangguan was like constipation, he made it clear what he and General Sima meant, and Liu Chang continued to ask.
"This, this, that's over."
"How so? There must still be. ā
"It's really gone"
"Are you sure you don't?"
"IāI'm sure."
"In this case, then you go back and tell the prime minister, I heard what you brought me."
"Do you agree or disagree?"
"Go back, the prime minister will understand, if you don't understand, let the prime minister stop doing it. I still have to keep filial piety to my father, so I won't keep you. ā
"How can this be, you see, how is this good?" Prime Minister Tian Cheng and the others came back and described the process of their negotiation in detail, even General Sima sneezed halfway and poured a soak of urine without missing a report, but Prime Minister Tian still didn't understand what Liu Chang meant.
"What did he make me understand? He didn't say anything. Tian Qianqiu thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. I don't dare to say that I don't understand, if I say I don't understand, doesn't that just confirm the sentence 'if you don't understand, let him stop doing it'? So, first he was angry and cursed, saying that he understood what he meant thoroughly, but he was very dissatisfied with what he meant, and then asked for the opinion of his colleagues.
"Prime Minister, what you said is so right" As the imperial envoy of the human spirit, when he saw the angry expression of the prime minister, he not only understood what Liu Chang meant, but also understood what the prime minister did not understand Liu Chang's meaning. We are the government, and being able to talk calmly with him is the greatest sincerity. ā
"Oh~~" Hearing Yushi's explanation, the prime minister's heart lit up, it turned out that he wanted to ask me for benefits, this fart kid, he knew how to make benefits at such a young age, and he was not a good bird at first glance, and he lacked a tutor. No, his parents seem to be His Majesty, okay, okay, didn't say it.
"Could he be asking for favors and money?" Tai Wei, who generally does not participate in political affairs, also expressed his own opinions, no way, who calls his soldiers not to be angry, and he doesn't dare to shout "beating Ya" anymore, according to the convention, no one doesn't like money, so Tai Wei decided to take the 'money route', what is the benefit, of course it is Brother Qian, since you can't use your fists to 'beat Ya', you can use money to 'smash Ya'.
"But we don't have any money right now. You can run horses in the treasury. Where can I get money for him? The imperial envoy spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Hey, why do you keep talking about money, money, how cheesy. The villain is said to be profitable, the gentleman is said to be righteous, and we must use the righteousness to influence him. Let him know that stealing money is a villain's act and shameful, and he must be honest and upright. Yes, send a plaque! It is the word frankness, let him repent, make him feel ashamed, and take the initiative to send the money back. The more Prime Minister Tian Cheng spoke, the more he felt that the reason was reasonable, and he felt that he had occupied the righteous position, and unconsciously, even his face was a little bright, as if he saw a villain kneeling in front of him without shame, holding piles of horseshoe gold, asking for his forgiveness.
"But, he's a villain, not just a villain, he's a villain at all." Yu Shi looked at the excited prime minister, and didn't dare to pour cold water on him, muttering in his heart, still blowing the conch in his mouth: "The prime minister is high, it's really high." ā
So, the next day, a huge horizontal plaque beautifully framed, handwritten by the Prime Minister, and vigorously flying the word 'frank', was carried by General Sima and Lord Shangguan himself, followed by a group of blowing and beating drummers, and walked happily to the mass grave where Liu Chang gave his father filial piety.
This move, but really stunned passers-by, who went to the mass grave is not sad and sorrowful, crying and wailing, I have never seen such a happy person to go to the grave.
"What's going on? Whose grave is smoking? The civilians, who did not know what was going on, put down their farm work and followed, so that a long line followed the drummers.
"Swing... Woman? Liu Chang looked at the words dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque, and didn't understand why this woman's character was written with missing arms and legs. Could it be that I was sarcastic for cheating other people's legs, and looked at the two court officials with joyful faces, I don't know what they meant. "Send... For me? ā
The general didn't react to anything, because he didn't know what was written on it, he didn't know it! I knew that it was two words, two words with teeth and claws. I didn't understand when I heard Liu Chang read it, why did the prime minister write 'slut' and give it to Liu Chang, he should write "slut" or "slut", obviously the kid in front of him has nothing to do with 'woman', and gave it to his wife? I didn't hear he had a wife! Could it be that 'a flat woman' means that she has such lofty ideals and ambitions at such a young age? There was even a look of adoration in the eyes, well, go home, write one yourself, hang it on the wall.
The county order is different from the general's reaction, he is a literati, so he naturally knows that this is 'frank', and his face darkened when he heard Liu Chang read it as a 'slut', and he didn't dare to explain rashly. Interpretation? Saying that there are still many wonderful parts on the woman's body, you can't lose it, it won't look good if you lose it, it's not a 'woman', what does it mean, you tell the prodigy, you read it wrong? Do you dare to suspect that the prodigy adults don't know how to read? The prodigy said that it was a 'slut', and it had to be a 'slut', but how to explain it, the county order had no idea in his heart for a while, and couldn't help but stand there in embarrassment.
Liu Chang didn't care too much, and he didn't ask why he sent a 'slut' to him, of course, he didn't know what a 'slut' was, he just felt that the handwriting was very good-looking, much better than his handwriting. Just calmly looked at the Shangguan County Order and waited for the following.
"This dang..."The county magistrate is working hard to steer the topic to the topic explained by the prime minister. I am also complaining in my heart, a dignified imperial prime minister, what do you think, give a plaque to a drooping boy. You can write, but you also have to ask, whether he knows how to read, now it's okay, this prodigy can't read, he doesn't say the words backwards, he reads them wrong, and the blind man lights the lamp--- and the candle is in vain.
I can't buckle the high hat I brought, so I can't continue to fool around. If you're not 'open', why am I embarrassed to ask for money? Looking at Liu Chang, who was not yet five feet tall, the county order was a little helpless.
"You're not going to just send me this... Plaque, right? Not only was the county order embarrassed, but Liu Chang couldn't understand it, seeing that neither of them spoke, so he had to speak.
The "fairy boy old man" saw the county order's grinding and chirping, Sima finally couldn't help it, this is related to his future, especially if he is still not locked up in the small black house, so he opened his mouth and said directly: "That's the case, Prime Minister Tian What they mean is to let your old man take the money... This, this, see if your old man can pay it back... It's okay to borrow it, give it to them, they don't have the money to pay them. ā
"What do you call me?" It was the first time for Liu Chang to hear that he had such a novel title, and asked curiously.
"Fairy, fairy, they all call it that." Sima replied in the affirmative
"And..."
"Old man?"
"When will I become a fairy child and become an old man?"
"They all call it that, saying that your old man is the alchemy boy of Taishang Laojun. If you don't believe it, if you ask Lord Shangguan, that's what it's called. ā
"Yes, yes, now the whole Chang'an City is legendary, Chang'an City came to a fairy child, dressed in five-colored glow, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds..."The county order took over the topic, the original high hat failed, it is not bad to change one, you are all fairy children, are you embarrassed to grab a few copper plates with us ordinary people, the idea is clear, and the mouth will slip up.
"Amitabha" was searching the intestines and scraping his stomach in the county order, and he was about to take out all the gorgeous and praising words and phrases that Confucius handed over to him, and Liu Chang was also enjoying the praise from the general and the county order.
"Who" The three of them turned their heads in the direction of the voice at the same time, and they hated each other's impolite behavior. But when Liu Chang saw the comer, he was happy all of a sudden, who was the comer? An old acquaintance, a poisonous monk, your uncle and a slut.
"Good boy, I was so surprised to see you, I didn't expect you to be a fairy child. Back then, I thought that you were very wise, and you could understand the "Great Compassion Mantra" and really had a relationship with my Buddha, and I said goodbye on the way, more than three years, and I didn't want us to meet here. Amitabha. The two monks recognized Liu Chang, happily stepped forward, chanted the Buddha's name, and spoke stiff Chinese.
"Why are you still barefoot" Liu Chang looked at the bare feet of the monk and remembered the original bet, and also teased: "Is there athlete's foot?" ā
"The good boy said and laughed, my Buddha is merciful, barefoot, is prepared for the redemption of those lazy people, we Tianzhu has a famous saying: usually do not work hard, temporarily hold Buddha's feet, we wear shoes, they will not be able to hold Buddha's feet, become Buddha's shoes." The old monk explained to Liu Chang in a serious manner.
"Aren't you afraid of sticking your feet?" Liu Changke doesn't care whether you are merciful or not, he just thinks that it is too unsightly to be barefoot and show big feet. Circled around their feet, shaking his head as he turned: "I won't have no money to buy shoes, I'll give you two." ā
"The good boy really has a good heart and a compassionate heart." The old monk bowed his head again and said, "Buddhism is boundless, and the Buddha will walk on the right path and will not stick his feet." ā
"Can you talk well? You say, "Don't tie your feet." Liu Chang thought to himself, look at you pitiful, you don't even have shoes, I am thinking of an acquaintance, I will give you a few shoes, I don't know if I can't say words of gratitude, and I deliberately show off, what kind of thing? So, he said politely.
"Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they do not hurt; If the heart moves, people move recklessly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world. "The older bhikshu monks, still with their faces as if they were standing still, didn't care about the dirty, scarred bare feet, as if talking to themselves, muttering to themselves.
"Are they sick?" Liu Chang gave up the idea of communicating with them, and turned to Sima and Shangguan and said.
"Definitely sick," Sima was the first to answer. He looked at the miscellaneous hair on the two cloaks and became angry, just now we were touting this little fairy boy happily and comfortably, maybe, as soon as the fairy child is happy, he doesn't have to go back to the little black house to eat rye cakes, where did this come from, ruining his own good deeds. was wondering whether to give them a stuffy stick, and when he saw Liu Chang, he was not happy, and immediately fell into the well.
"Good boy, our master and apprentice want to do a ritual here, surpass the souls of the dead, not fall into reincarnation, and be reborn in bliss." As soon as Liu Chang and the others came to the conclusion that 'they are sick', they listened to the old miscellaneous hair and said in front of Liu Chang.
"Doing something? Will it also bury villains like witches? "The three of them have a deep understanding of witch Gu, even the pain of the skin. Hearing that these two foreign gods were openly doing things, I was shocked, especially the county order, when I heard it, I almost jumped up and shouted: "Bold, you dare to openly do witchcraft, the law is intolerable!" After shouting at the visitor, he found that he didn't bring any entourage today, so he changed his rhetoric and changed 'take it down to this county': "Reading your first offense, this county will not be held accountable this time, and if it is found again, it will not be spared." ā
What the county magistrate didn't know was that his voice introduced Buddhism to the Central Plains and resigned for hundreds of years.
The two poisonous monks originally thought that they could take advantage of this incident, especially when they recognized Liu Chang as the child they met on the road, they were overjoyed, thinking that it was the Buddha who appeared and gave them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their skills in this country. Unexpectedly, Liu Chang, the 'Buddha' in their hearts, had no intention of helping them teach the Fa at all, except for caring about their feet.
"Your uncle's" The two of them said silently in their hearts, what Liu Chang said at the beginning, they left silently, and looked back at Liu Chang's eyes full of resentment.
"Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they do not hurt; If the heart moves, people move recklessly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world. Liu Chang looked at them dragging their lonely figures, muttering what the old beggar had said just now, and suddenly remembered that yesterday, his aunt sent him a message, saying that his tasks in the world had been completed and met the requirements of the base, and asked him to rush back to the base as soon as possible, and his heart seemed to be a little touched.
"It's time for me to leave," Liu Chang said softly.
"Fairy Child, is your old man about to ascend to heaven?" When Sima heard that Liu Chang was leaving, he couldn't help but feel happy and asked.
"You're just about to ascend to heaven, and I said it's time for me to leave."
"Your old man won't come back, will you?"
"Do you miss me? If you want me, I can still come back often. Liu Chang smiled and said.
"No, no, no, oh, yes, yes, yes. Your old man's alchemy task is so heavy, you can rest more if you have nothing to do, and you are so tired of running around. This sentence frightened Sima into nervousness, and he was a little incoherent.
Liu Chang ignored General Sima anymore, turned his back to his back, faced the direction of Chang'an, and said:
"You are Chang'an Ling, and you are in the court. I hope you understand what I'm saying. If you have the opportunity, tell the emperor and my grandfather: Only if there is a person can there be a home, only if there is a family, then there will be a country, and only if there is a country can there be a world. ā
"Has the prince been ranked in the immortal class?" The prefectural magistrate suddenly came up with such a sentence.
"Could it be that Lord Shangguan is also interested in asking for immortals?" Liu Chang just tilted his head sideways and said.
"Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused."
"What if your son is wrong? Look, I don't look like a monster? If I'm that weird god, how are you going to go? ā
