Because of the war between the Japanese kings, Tian Bule had to postpone his return. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burn ^ Text ^ Library]
In the evening, Ji Gongxue held a banquet, and Tian Bule told her about discussing with Ji Yanran about fighting with the Wa King. Ji Gongxue naturally agreed, and in order to express her gratitude, she hinted that she wanted to reward her in person several nights.
Tian Bule thought that he had snubbed Ji Yanran and Hua Jieyu these days, and he could only take it as if he didn't know what he meant.
After the banquet, Tian Bule saw Hua Xie Yu walking alone in the garden, so he followed.
The moonlight is like water, which calms people's hearts.
Tian Bule saw that Hua Xie Yu was a little sullen, and said, "Xie Yu, are you worried about anything?"
"The moon is so bright tonight!"
Hua Xie Yu shook his head and said, "It's been more than a year since I left the Wei Kingdom, and seeing that the moon is beautiful today, I can't help but think of my hometown." "
Tian Bule raised his head, looked at the crescent moon like a crescent moon in the sky, and couldn't help but say: "The ancients said well: look up at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown, it's really so." "
On this lonely island, Tian Bule thought of his friends and relatives in modern times, and his heart couldn't help but darken.
Hua Xie praised: "This sentence is so simple and easy to understand, like the vernacular, but the artistic conception in it is extremely far-reaching, but why haven't I heard any ancients say it?"
Tian Bule said in his heart that he was a thief again, and hurriedly changed the topic, saying, "You just looked at the starry sky and became distracted, did you find something?"
Hua Jieyu looked at the silver starry sky and said, "Tian Lang, look, the Big Dipper and Sirius have been opposing each other recently, and the stars in the sky are gray. It is said in ancient books that once this celestial phenomenon occurs, there will be a lunar desecration on the fifteenth day of this month. "
"Beidou, Sky Wolf, this starry sky looks pretty much the same. ”
Tian Bule thought he was an astronomical idiot, so he gave up looking like a blind man touching an elephant. He suddenly remembered the meaning of the moon, and said in surprise: "Is the moonlight a lunar eclipse? Are you sure?"
Hua Xie Yu nodded and said, "Sure." Today is the seventh day of July, and there are still eight days to go!"
Tian Bule remembered the battle of the king of the Japanese, and suddenly became full of confidence.
He remembered that Christopher Columbus, a later Western navigator and explorer, sailed west to the New World. After landing, his sailors and crew had an argument with the local indigenous population, which later deteriorated dramatically. The locals, relying on the large number of people, besieged Columbus and his party to starve these arrogant outsiders to death. Columbus and the others had no choice but to sit idly by.
In the evening, a bright moon rose in the east, and Columbus looked at the moon and thought. Suddenly remembering that there would be a total lunar eclipse tonight, he took it into account and announced loudly to the besiegers, "If you don't send food and drinking water immediately, I won't give you moonshine at once!" The superstitious locals heard Columbus's warning, and they were skeptical, and they didn't know what to do, and they were afraid of being deceived when they gave them food, and they were afraid that there would really be no moonlight if they didn't send food. They stared at the bright moon in a daze, and after a while, the moon was gradually engulfed by a dark shadow, and finally turned into a faintly recognizable bronze garden plate, and it was useless for them to shout and shout. The natives, who lacked knowledge, were really frightened, thinking that Columbus was a god, and they all knelt down in front of Columbus, begged Columbus to forgive them, and then obediently brought water and food, and never dared to resist again. Columbus thus saved the day.
Hua Jieyu saw Tian Bule suddenly laughing, and said suspiciously: "Tian Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Bule hugged Hua Xie Yu and kissed him, and said happily: "You helped me with a big problem, we can return to the Central Plains as soon as possible." ”
Tian Bule asked Ji Gongxue to send someone to inform the Wa Kingdom, and the two sides agreed to fight on an unnamed island in the East China Sea, and each side sent 5,000 soldiers to prevent accidents.
After the news of the battle between the two countries came out, not only a large number of people from the Yamatai Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom rushed over to watch, but even the people from the Tamna Kingdom and the Kei Kingdom were also moved. Since the chosen island is located in a sheltered area, the wind and waves are calm, and a canoe can come to the island, so many people began to gather around the nameless island.
The island was laid out in advance, a large number of ancient trees were cut down, and two high platforms were erected in the center of the island. The high platform is full of flags, with "Qi, Ma" written on the east side and "倭" written on the high platform on the west side.
On the 15th of July, ships of all sizes arrived on the nameless island.
The people of the Wa Kingdom arrived at the Nameless Island first, and they waited from noon until the third pole of the sun, and Tian Bule and the others had not yet appeared.
The king of the Japanese was overjoyed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Evil Horse Taiguo must be afraid. If they don't come again, they just throw in the towel, and we'll go back. "
"They're coming, my lord. ”
A Japanese general standing on a boulder said.
In the waiting of the whole country, Tian Bule's side finally dedicated.
Forty huge ships carrying 5,000 soldiers from the Qi Kingdom and the Yamatai Kingdom appeared on the sea near the island.
The hearts of the people of the Wa Kingdom couldn't help but sink, and they originally wanted to attack on the way, but now it seems that they are just hitting stones with eggs.
Tian Bule finally saw the king meet for the first time, and was immediately "shocked" by his strange outfit. However, because this war was between the Wa Kingdom and the Yama Tai, he did not come forward, but asked Ji Gongxue to negotiate with the Wa King.
Soldiers on both sides surrounded the two high platforms in the middle, preventing idlers and others from approaching.
Xu Fu appeared first, wearing a black and white Taoist hat, a black gold-rimmed Taoist robe embroidered with the sun and the moon, and a peachwood sword in his hand. The king was still covered with thick fat powder, his lips were red, and he was dressed in black and wore a black hat, just like the legendary black impermanence.
The two walked out of their respective ranks and saluted each other.
The king said arrogantly: "You are just an ordinary man, and you will definitely fail to fight with me." ”
Xu Fu sneered: "I'm dead or nothing, if you die, there's nothing left." ”
The king was furious, staring at Xu Fu, and Xu Fu glared back without flinching. The two stood there and stared at each other "affectionately", kicking each other like congested roosters.
Tian Bule couldn't help but be a little speechless, did the two of them want to kill each other with their eyes?
After a long time, the two of them seemed to come back to their senses, snorted coldly, and walked onto the high platform respectively.
After the two sides stepped onto the stage, while chanting words, they performed various "spell" performances on the stage, such as "scarecrow bleeding", "oil pot chestnut", "rolling steel nails" and other unique skills.
The crowd in the audience kept applauding, and for people in this era, they naturally felt incredible that they had seen so many strange things at once.
These tricks are no secret to Tian Bule, and some of them were taught to Xu Fu by Tian Bule.
The two have been "fighting" on stage for a long time, but they have not been able to distinguish the winner or loser.
It was already getting dark, and a full golden moon shone on the island as if it were day.
Xu Fu on the stage suddenly said: "I'm going to swallow the moon next, can you do it?"
Of course, the king didn't believe it, and said, "How can you swallow the moon as a little warlock?"
Xu Fu didn't answer, there were words in his mouth, and the peach wood sword danced like a windmill.
After a while, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and the originally clear and bright full moon was swallowed up little by little.
As time passed, the bright moon gradually took on a crescent shape. In the darkness of the night, the flickering light was like a bright guiding light. Gradually, the sky grew darker and darker. Tian Bule looked up at the sky, the black shadow had covered most of the moon, and the dazzling light was constantly weakening.
