Chapter 166: Huai'an River Festival
When the group left from the Li family's mansion, the prince received some kind of promise, Mo Li got a jade plate and the sword book sent by the son of the Li family, Chen Liu only took a portrait of the White Lotus Bodhisattva in addition to being familiar.
On the frame of the car going back, the prince asked the two people in front of him:
"Why did you run to Li's house? Didn't you say going to the Purple Mountain?"
Chen Liu was speechless and directly pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.
Murray replied:
"Originally, we were going to fly directly to the Huai'an River, but there was a strange wind in the mountains, and we couldn't find the north. Later, I met a sword immortal senior who brought us here."
Li Wan, who was dressed in simple clothes, nodded.
In fact, the origin of what he already knew, their meeting with that sword immortal was not an absolute accident, and there was a plan behind him.
Li Wan took the delicate jade plate and looked at it again, wondering why the other party would give Mo Li such a precious gift when they saw him for the first time.
Li Wan knew this thing, the spiritual treasures of the ancient qi practitioners, which are rare in the world.
Since the destruction of the ancients, most traces have also been wiped out, not to mention such a miraculous treasure.
It's not that there is nothing in the Great Liang Treasure House, but there are only two of them, and they can only store eight or nine grades of cultivation spiritual power, which is very chicken.
This piece can store four products! It is estimated to be the only product in the world.
Li Wan was not at ease, so she asked again.
"Did that sword immortal say anything to you?"
Mo Li didn't hide anything, and directly told Li Wan what the son of the Li family had talked about with her. Of course, she weakened the role of Chen Liu.
"Twelve Pins Lotus Terrace and Dao Ancestor Spiritual Pill......
There are some things that are difficult for him to obtain even as a prince, and these two things that Mo Li told him are undoubtedly among them.
The twelve-grade lotus platform is a spiritual creature raised by nature and earth, and it is the first person to cultivate Buddhism, that is, the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni Nyorai Buddha. Not to mention the luck it has been nourished by for thousands of years, just its own quality is the best in the world, and it is a rare superlative spiritual object in existence.
And the elixir of the Dao Ancestor is something that I can't even think of, the legend has it that if I get a spirit pill of the Dao Ancestor, even the most ordinary creatures can feather and soar in an instant, and ascend to the sky as immortals.
The truth may not be so outrageous, but its earth-shattering effect is indeed undeniable.
As for the evidence, it is possible that some powerful person under the South China Sea can come forward and say it. At that time, he was just an ordinary water tribe, only because of a coincidence to get a Taoist elixir, since then the cultivation road has advanced by leaps and bounds, less than a hundred years swept the world, respected one side.
In addition to providing cultivation purposes, the Dao Ancestor Spirit Pill also has the effect of reversing life and death.
The so-called healing of the dead, medicine white bones, has always been used to describe the peerless nature of medicine, but to really achieve this effect, no one can do it except Dao Ancestor. Even the immortal Dao Sect genius Dao Zun is difficult to do. Chinese Net
To be dead is to be dead, and to stay for a while cannot be for a lifetime.
Only Dao Ancestor once refined the magic medicine of the world, reversing the opportunity of heaven and earth, the distinction between life and death.
His elixir, not to mention the crown prince, was the first emperor of the ages, and he couldn't ask for it, and he died with regrets.
Li Wan could only give up in the end, and chose to comfort her sister a few times:
"Legend has it that the First Emperor once sent people into the East China Sea Immortal Mountain to look for the Dao Ancestor Spirit Pill, but I don't know if it's true or not...... As for these 12 lotus platforms, it is also difficult to do...... Take your time. If you have the chance, the Imperial Brother will find it for you."
"Hmm."
Mo Li didn't care that much.
After all these years, it can't get any worse. No matter how difficult it was, there was a new hope now, and besides, if you got this spirit storage jade card, it was enough to live the life of a monk.
Li Wan rubbed Mo Li's head and said dotingly:
"Let the two swords teach you some simple tricks in the future. Or do you want to learn something else?"
"First
Let's learn the sword."
The volume of sword books given to her by the Li family, she planned to practice it first.
"Hmm."
Speaking of the Second Sword Division, Mo Li also remembered something, and hurriedly asked Li Wan:
"By the way, how's Grandpa Sword?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I have some feelings, and I need to retreat for a few days."
"That's good."
As the son of the Li family said at the beginning, his "retreat 300 miles" is indeed used for guidance. He really didn't have the interest to be angry with a junior with good qualifications, and he had to go directly to the capital if he wanted to do anything.
Chen Liu stood aside, neither advancing nor retreating, especially embarrassing.
It's not a good time for him to stay here.
"Your Highness......
Chen Liu still chose to speak boldly to break the embarrassing atmosphere.
The prince glanced at Chen Liu and said directly:
"Are you still there? Tomorrow, I will participate in the river festival with Mo Li. After the ceremony, you will go with me to the Purple Mountain."
"Yes."
"Stand down, I won't have anything to eat today."
It can only be said that Chen Liu has never participated in the imperial banquet and has not eaten the prince's meal. Chen Liu is naturally happy not to eat, although the royal meals are all luxurious and delicacies, but there are too many rules, and the taste is particularly unpleasant.
Chen Liu simply said goodbye to the two highnesses, got off the frame, and left the two brothers and sisters to contact their feelings on their own.
He got into another simpler carriage, which was the swordmaster's car.
"You're welcome."
"What are you polite to your seniors?"
When the knife master saw him coming, although he was a little surprised, he didn't think too much about it and gave him a place.
This period of getting along made the knife master not have the urge to slash him when he first met. Overall, in the heart of the knife master, Chen Liu is still a good junior.
They did not enter the carriage, but chose to blow the wind outside the carriage.
"Did the senior have a holiday with that sword immortal?"
"Nope. It's just that he scolded our master, and he always has to show an attitude."
After this question, the two of them no longer chatted much, but Chen Liu unilaterally asked the sword master about the cultivation of the sword path. The knife master also answered all questions, and even demonstrated the method of using a knife to Chen Liu.
The return of the prince and his entourage from the Li family did not make any waves, and the attitudes of all parties were also ambiguous.
Of course, ordinary small merchants and hawkers don't care about this kind of thing, but those who have some strength have to pay attention to the movements and thoughts of the prince. After all, the purpose of the prince going to Jiangnan is not to play, but to supervise.
Although the trip started with agriculture, everyone knew that the focus was not on it. The matter of Nongsang itself can't make any waves at all, what the prince cares about is the forces behind it. - Local officials and gentry.
The changes in Zhangzhou are vivid, and no one will believe that the prince will come to Jiangning with thunder and rain.
Of course, they can't directly get the decision-making trends of the crown prince, and all they can pay attention to is the attitude and actions of the first hall of Shuangli, the third pavilion and the fourth floor.
And the banquet held by the king of Huainan is the best channel for understanding this kind of information.
In the early morning of this day, Li Wan, the prince of Daliang, Li An, the king of Huainan, Li Yunmi, the eighth prince of Yerong, Li Bai, the king of Xiang, Li Moli, the princess of Anping, and Li Dicheng, the prince of Anping, all wore royal formal clothes and went out from the Zhengyang Gate of Jiangning together. The convoy was mighty, and the destination was the Fu'an County Altar, where the main stream of the Huai'an River flows.
"Have you ever seen the river festival?"
Chen Liu was already numb, and he was pulled into her carriage by Mo Li again.
At this time, she was still eating fruit and asked Chen Liu questions.
Today, she is wearing a navy blue dress with silk reeling and fairy dress, decorated with flowing flowers and moire, wearing jade pendants and ribbons at her waist, wearing a treasure jade bead hairpin, combing her hair in a high bun, and winding around the hairpin three turns.
The face is outlined with high-quality eyebrows, and the eyes are smart and clear, which is full of charm. Light makeup powder, lips with rouge, is beautiful.
Chen Liu didn't
I saw a lot, but I also thought it was amazing. Especially when she no longer holds the lute and half-covers her face, she never wears a veil on her face anymore.
There has been no movement since Mo Li lifted the veil, which made Chen Liu feel a lot more at ease.
Regarding Mo Li's question, Chen Liu just shook his head, he had only heard of it in his previous life and this life, and he had not seen any sacrificial rituals with his own eyes, let alone royal ceremonies.
Mo Li handed the fruit over, but he politely declined.
So she pointed at Chen Liu with a smile on her face and said:
"Haha, there's something you don't understand?"
Chen Liu didn't dare to roll his eyes at Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he had to say directly:
"I heard that in some places, river festivals send women in the flower season to the bottom of the water as the wives and concubines of the dragon lord. We don't seem to have any other women in our line......
Mo Li walked over directly and grabbed Chen Liu's ear, and asked angrily:
"You mean to give me to the Dragon King?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to have such a meaning."
The two of them were fighting in the carriage, and the knife master sitting outside was full of black lines.
Fu'an County is not far from Jiangning City. Before noon, the convoy had already arrived at the county office of Fu'an County.
The county magistrate of Fu'an County and Yu Shutang, the governor of Jiangning, who arrived ahead of schedule, greeted the royal convoy outside the county yamen.
At noon, everyone will rest in the county government of Fu'an County, and when it is time to apply in the afternoon, the group will go to the altar together to hold a ceremony.
Chen Liu stood at the back of the team, carefully observing everyone present.
The crown prince and His Royal Highness Mo Li are already acquainted, so of course they don't need to pay too much attention.
The eighth prince and the prince also met once.
The eighth prince is obviously a prince who pretends to be confused, although he is not in power, he is the most stable existence in the royal family.
This kind of smart person who is willing to pretend to be confused, no matter when or where he is, will not become an obstacle.
Any force in power will not touch him, but will ensure the safety of such people.
As for His Royal Highness the Prince, Chen Liu couldn't figure it out for the time being. He seems to be more withdrawn, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't even know his father Li Wan very well.
Only Mo Li could get some smiles from him.
Of course, what surprised Chen Liu the most was the image of King Huainan.
King Huainan was not a pot-bellied poop as he once stereotyped, but a fairly robust middle-aged man.
The appearance is tough, elegant and easy-going, and the bearing is extraordinary. This was Chen Liu's first impression of him.
