Chapter 85: There is a mountain outside the city
The Taoist disciples on the spot, including Su Luo, knew that the elixir that could increase the life span of ordinary people by thirty years was not an extremely rare elixir.
As soon as this pill came out, the strong fragrance was boundless and endless, and it was also deliberately done by Mei Long, and at the same time, a trace of incense powder that could only be refined by cultivators was emitted by secret means, and it was not difficult to spread for several miles in a radius.
At the same time, after receiving the pill, the lord of Dasheng Kingdom held the pill with trembling hands, first knelt to the east, bowed deeply in the direction of Tianri Taoism, and then got up, in front of Meron and Su Luo, sent the pill to his lips, and carefully took it.
The more than 20 people on the ordination platform, all of whom were the concubines and children of Sheng Feng, the lord of the Dasheng Kingdom, all looked at him with full attention, and saw that after this nearly ninety old man took the pill, there was almost a change in his breathing.
Between his silver-white hair, there were visible roots of black hair, although not completely black, but also mottled black and white, although he was not old, and his already slender body began to stretch clearly, and suddenly straightened up, and his face covered with old scars gradually showed red.
If you want to forcibly increase your longevity, it is equivalent to going against the sky, and only cultivators have such means.
Everyone inevitably showed a look of amazement and envy, and the eldest son of the lord of Dasheng who was lagging behind was already a person who was over the age of sixties, and at this time he saw that his father had become even younger...... But Yang Rong Xu Yuan Dan only gave one.
Mei Long said with satisfaction: "Lord of the country, we will stay here for two days, tomorrow is an auspicious day, you can summon the people of Dasheng and others, and pay homage to the edict of Taoism!"
The lord of Dasheng was radiant, and his heart was extremely happy, and he hurriedly said: "Everything has been arranged, and now I invite your envoys to come to the court of Dasheng, and the banquet has been prepared." Previously, there was a Taoist advent edict that among the envoys on this trip was from the Dasheng Dynasty, and his family and subordinates were already waiting in the royal city, waiting to meet him. ”
"Okay, my lord, please. ”
"Don't dare. Welcome to the royal court!"
"Greetings to the Imperial Court!"
......
......
Deep in the royal city.
In the middle of the royal city, it is also the middle of the Shengdu, of course, it is the mandate platform, in addition, the most important place is, of course, the royal court of the Dasheng Dynasty, which is the place where the lord of the Dasheng Kingdom summons his subordinates and disposes of state affairs.
Today, in the royal court, there is a singing and dancing banquet, which is simply pouring out the national strength of the great sheng, and all kinds of qiē are the best selections, and respectfully waiting for the arrival of the messenger of Taoism in the sky.
The envoys have descended.
The original royal court was headed, the lord of the country had gone to the golden throne, and the jade case was placed, and the second-generation disciples of Tianri Taoism, Mei Long and Su Luo, as well as the lord of Dasheng country, sat according to the case.
Originally, the lord of Dasheng didn't dare to sit down, but only dared to wait on the side, but he sat down under Mei Long's repeated requests.
Su Luo saw it in his eyes and sighed intuitively.
This is the lord of Dasheng country, he once never thought of saving zài, just before sitting down, but he had to kneel at his feet and kowtow to thank him, before he dared to sit down, and after sitting down, he eagerly acted as a waiter, personally poured the elixir for him and Mei Long.
The wine is the best king bee pulp of the Dasheng Dynasty.
In the past, even if he was the head of the Su family, he didn't have much chance to drink.
Below the royal court, the jade case is lined up on both sides, and ninety-eight Taoist disciples are seated, each with the most beautiful maiden of the Dasheng Dynasty waiting, and there are the most famous dancing girls of the Dasheng Dynasty in the court, showing the style of Dasheng in the world.
All the disciples are practicing in the Tianri Mountain Range, compared with the world, although they are high, but they are also boring and bitter, at this time, when they see such beautiful scenery, where can they endure it, and after a while, they all show a look of fascination.
Above the royal court, Mei Long's eyes fell on Su Luo, but he talked with the lord of Dasheng and said with a smile: "This trip will pass through the Shengdu and then go to the capital of Moro, so the Taoist specially selects disciples, mainly the disciples from Dasheng and Moro, among which there are more than 20 people from Dasheng, and this senior brother Su next to me is a person from your Dasheng Dynasty." ”
The expression of the lord of Dasheng changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Su Luoshi: "I don't want the envoy to be my Dasheng, but in the edict from Taoism, there is no mention of the origin of the envoy, so I didn't specially invite the family of the envoy to ......."
In the edict sent by the Heavenly Daoist in advance, of course, there will be no Su Luo's origin.
In fact, a second-generation disciple of Tianri Taoism was born in the Dasheng Dynasty, so the secular family members of this disciple may have already been ranked as a prince in the Dasheng Dynasty, second only to the royal family Sheng.
Su Luo frowned slightly, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, but it was too late, Meron had already laughed and spoke.
"It's not the country's fault, it's actually my Senior Brother Su's special background. He was originally a wealthy family of your Dasheng Dynasty...... The slave of the Su family, after the children of the Su family who were selected to send Taoism entered Taoism, and because of fate, they were able to worship under Taoism, and became a second-generation disciple.
His opportunity is simply legendary, of course you won't know about it, even if Daoxue issued an edict, he didn't know how to arrange it for a while, so he simply didn't arrange it.
After a young age, there was also the Su family who wanted to meet another disciple from the Su family, as for whether Senior Brother Su wanted to see him, it all depended on Senior Brother Su's wishes. ”
"Ah......" Lord Dasheng was taken aback, his intuition tightened, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Of course, the Su family knows that it has been ten generations in the Dasheng Dynasty, which can be called a wealthy family, and in recent years, there is a child of the Su family who has been selected to send Tianri Taoism, and there has been an edict before that, informing him that this Su family disciple has been favored by the master himself as soon as he enters Taoism, and has been accepted as a real Taoist disciple for three generations.
Therefore, the Su family naturally rose to the top, and it was already one of the few wealthy families in the Dasheng Dynasty, and the patriarch was honored by the "Rong Su Duke", and he was hereditarily replaced - if the Su family disciple who became a disciple of the third generation of Tianri Taoism did not fall.
Unexpectedly, the Su family also produced a second-generation disciple of Taoism, but this second-generation disciple was actually a slave of the Su family in the past!
The lord of the country had mixed thoughts in his heart, only thinking about what the attitude of this Su envoy towards the Su family was, if he was resentful, then the good days of the Su family would naturally come to an end, after all, the three generations of Taoism could not bypass the second generation of disciples.
Under the royal court, Su Rong, who was also in the middle of the banquet, suddenly tightened her whole body.
Next to the jade case, Su Luo's face was slightly cold, but he quickly covered it up and said calmly: "What Senior Brother Mei Long said is good, I am indeed from the Dasheng Dynasty and was once a slave of the Su family. ”
He paused, didn't look at the smile on Mei Long's face, and said, "Actually, my real background is not the Su family. When I have my own memory, it was under the Luolei Mountain outside the Shengdu City, begging for a living near the Luolei Mountain, and then entered the Shengdu, although it was a slave to the Su family, but it was not forced, not to mention that if there was no Su family, I am afraid that I would have died of hunger and hunger. ”
What he meant by this was that he and the Su family had no grudges, and the lord of Dasheng didn't have to use the topic to play.
Moreover, he was not taboo about his past identity, and said it frankly, everyone in the royal court heard it, which seemed that Meron's deliberate act of exposing the shortcomings was despicable.
"Falling Thunder Mountain?"
The lord of the country was shocked, and quickly turned over and knelt down beside the case, trembling and pleading: "It is the disciple's poor governance, which has caused those in the country to have no place to live and no food, and the disciple is guilty, please punish the envoy!"
In recent years, the disciples have also mobilized the state treasury to build houses at the foot of the Luolei Mountain, reclaim the land as a garden, and try their best to provide relief. ”
"The lord of the country doesn't have to worry too much. Su Luo smiled helplessly, "I have been in Shengdu for many years, since the lord ascended the throne, he has governed the country in an orderly manner, and he is also quite popular, I know." ”
He is not lying about this, it is not unreasonable that the national strength of the Dasheng Dynasty is the strongest among the four kingdoms under the Tianri Daoist Empire. The lord in front of him has been on the throne for many years, and the country is growing under his rule, but he can also be regarded as a bright monarch.
The lord of the country also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Luolei Mountain outside the Shengdu has an extremely long history, and it is rumored to be even older than the Shengdu City. Therefore, in the old legend, one day in ancient times, this place is still a wide plain, suddenly a thunder descends from the sky, splitting the soil for the mountain, the thunder, descends an immortal, leaving a book of heaven in the mountain.
Therefore, in later generations, that mountain was called the Falling Thunder Mountain. Presumably, the envoy came from the Falling Thunder Mountain, and he can have today's Dao Fruit, I'm afraid it has something to do with the immortals and heavenly books who fell from the thunder. ”
Of course, this is a flattery, and a legend is just a legend.
Su Luo smiled slightly, and added: "There is also a Tianshu Temple in the mountain, and that temple has shielded me from a lot of wind and rain when I was a child. He raised his eyebrows suddenly, became interested, and said: "That's it, I still don't want to see the people of the Su family, otherwise they won't be happy, I might as well go to Luolei Mountain for a walk, and then take a look at the Tianshu Temple." ”
