Chapter 82: Gan Lin (I)
The Tang Dynasty ordered a hundred Xiangyong to build a dragon king temple on the top of the mountain overnight last night, although it was simple, but after all, under the pretense of the emperor's order, everyone went all out, when the next morning, Ma Zhengzhang accompanied the Tang Dynasty to visit, it was already a decent dragon king temple, and the person in charge of the clay sculpture sculpted the statue of the dragon king overnight, although it has not been completely done, but after all, it can already be worshipped, in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, it can be done like this, on the line.
Ma Zhengzhang's face was very kind: "Lord Tang, you are here to beg for rain, to be honest, you, you might as well run away?" β
This kid received 10,000 taels of silver from the Tang Dynasty, and when he saw that the Tang Dynasty was in a difficult situation, he actually gave him an idea.
When Tang Chao heard this, he was very moved: "General Ma, no, this will affect you." β
Ma Zhengzhang said: "It's okay, I will kill someone casually, you committed suicide in fear of sin, you just need to escape and live incognito for the rest of your life in the future, isn't this okay?" β
"No, if I am exposed in the future, the general will still have a lot to do with it, isn't that good?" Tang Chao didn't want to run away in his heart, but when he saw this kid's words, his expression seemed to be a little unkind, so he tried him.
Ma Zhengzhang heard this: "This is easy, when the time comes, I will push it on other people, I don't know, it is my subordinates who falsely reported the situation, and I have nothing to do with it." β
Such a powerful means, Tang Chao secretly screamed in his heart, but he now has full confidence to ask for rain, where will he go, so he said: "Having said that, if the emperor suspects that the general and I are colluding with me, General Yuma's future, it will be a big hindrance, so forget it!" β
Ma Zhengzhang's face was pale, he wanted to take the opportunity to save Tang Dynasty's life to make more money, he thought that as long as he showed his intention to save him, Tang Dynasty would immediately offer a lot of silver to pray for his life, hum, when the time comes, the silver ticket will be in my pocket, and I will kill it with a knife, anyway, just put on the name of suicide in fear of crime, where do you know that this kid is not fooled.
Although Ma Zhengzhang was angry and wanted to kill the Tang Dynasty immediately, he immediately thought that this kid couldn't ask for rain anyway, and the emperor would cut off his head immediately, to thank the world, why should he take the risk, in case the matter is revealed, he is still a big crime of killing the court officials, why bother, don't want these silver.
At the moment, he said: "Okay, then I can only watch the Tang Dynasty beg for rain." β
At this time, Zhuan Xin rushed up the mountain sweating profusely, and said in a very panicked voice: "Lord Tang, it's not good!" β
At this time, he no longer cares whether anyone is around or not, and it is obvious that things are very tricky.
Tang Chao forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart: "Why, there is something straight!" β
Zhuan Xin said: "Lord Tang, according to your orders, freeze those things into ice, but it is too little, too little, there is not enough ice, the senior brother was tired for a night, and only made 200 pieces of ice, which is far less than the 2,000 ice you expected, and the matter is very tricky." β
Tang Chao was anxious: "What about the senior brother, are you still doing it?" β
Zhuan Xin stumbled and said: "Senior brother is already tired, now I and a few senior brothers are doing it, but our degree is not comparable to that of senior brother, it seems that even if it is three o'clock in the afternoon, we can't get four hundred yuan, which is far from what you expected." β
Ma Zhengzhang heard it very strangely: "Lord Tang, what kind of ice, what are you doing with ice?" β
Tang Dynasty was extremely anxious at this time, grandma, don't make it for so long or still fall short, said: "Master Ma, you just wait for me here, I'll take a look, and I'll come up in a while!" β
He was also in a hurry, knowing that if the ice didn't come out, he would be in the soup if he begged for rain, so he forgot about the square inch.
When Ma Zhengzhang heard this, he immediately sneered: "Lord Tang forgot, the emperor wants to protect your safety every step of the way, how can I leave you?" β
, this kid really refused to relax me, took out 20,000 taels of Jiaozi from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ma Zhengzhang's hand, and said with a smile: "Master Ma, you know, this mountain is full of your people on the left and right, full of Shence Army, don't be me and my Tang Dynasty, it is the general You are such a clever martial arts, if you want to break out, it is not easy to talk about, I am even more impossible, I will go to check the preparations for the rain, and come when I go!" β
Ma Zhengzhang was originally a greedy man, he wanted to ask for money again, but he didn't get it, and now the Tang Dynasty sent it to him, of course, he also took it half-pushed, thinking in his heart, this kid is right, it is like an iron bucket here, and there is not much difference between it and the inner courtyard of the palace, where can he escape with such martial arts, besides, if he doesn't come back for a while, I won't go to find it, and I am happy to do this favor: "Okay, my brother, why are you so polite?" β
Tang Dynasty and Zhuan Xin hurried to the ice workshop.
As soon as he walked closer, he felt a kind of cold that penetrated his bones, and Tang Dynasty felt a little relieved in his heart, as long as he had two hundred yuan, he could be deceived for a while.
As soon as I walked into the ice workshop built underground, a cold hit to the bone, and I saw Zhuan Ren and the other four people surrounding a huge wooden basin, stretching eight hands into the water, looking at the white smoke rising one by one, Tang Dynasty knew that they were condensing the water into ice according to their own will.
A person who is skilled in kung fu can knead water into ice, which is to reverse the true power of luck, make the palm of the hand cold to the bone, and then freeze the water into ice. Originally, people with excellent internal strength can't do it, and the martial arts of people like Zhuan Ren are obviously not enough, but there is a martial art recorded in the "Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts" to resist the demons, that is, when practicing qigong, they are afraid of going mad, and several people practice together, and the meridians are retrograde, and the cold qi helps to cultivate, so that people are not manic. Nowadays, this martial art is practiced by several people, but it can also be condensed into ice.
That's what they're doing now, but it's not water that's what they're doing, it's air.
At first glance, it sounds ridiculous, at least, in the eyes of the people of that era, the ice was made out piece by piece, which had an unexpected effect, that is, the air in the hemp bag became extremely hard, and turned into a large piece of ice, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would not believe the facts in front of you, but it is true, those empty sacks, now inside are actually hard ice, really like ice condensed by water.
As soon as Tang Dynasty saw the appearance of the four tigers of the Zhuan clan, he knew that his luck had reached a critical time, so he didn't bother him, just opened a sack with **, and immediately took out a piece of ice like ice.
Strangely enough, this thing is much lighter than the ice that ordinary water has formed.
In fact, this is the kind of dry ice that can be refrigerated in the classroom before the Tang Dynasty crossed, but the current collection method of the Tang Dynasty is relatively primitive, and there is no standard gas collection cylinder, so there are many impurities, but in general, the Tang Dynasty still believes that he does not remember wrong.
It's been about a year since the crossing, and Tang Chao still clearly remembers the scene when the chemistry teacher taught dry ice.
If their teacher taught well, I'm afraid Tang Dynasty would not have such confidence now, but Tang Dynasty clearly remembered that when he was on this chapter, it was the gas cylinder that he personally held for the teacher, and he saw with his own eyes that the calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid solution reacted violently, emitting white smoke, and then, he lightly capped the gas collection cylinder and collected the carbon dioxide gas in the bottle, and then, the teacher put a large ice cube that had been prepared next to the gas collection bottle, and after more than ten minutes, Tang Dynasty opened the lid of the gas collection cylinder according to the teacher's instructions.
He was still worried that he wouldn't run away as soon as he turned on the gas, but no, the teacher took out the dry ice from the gas collection cylinder, and the carbon dioxide gas had condensed into a solid, and each student was divided into a small piece.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty also got a piece, and compared it with the ice cubes formed by water condensation, he was pleased to see that the dry ice was much lighter, and it made people have a cool feeling, and then he listened to the teacher's introduction, this kind of ice cubes can be used for artificial rainfall, as long as it is ** into the air or sprinkled into the air with an airplane, it will rain immediately.
If it weren't for such experience, the Tang Dynasty would have already pretended to beg for rain, lest it really be beheaded by the emperor.
But the emperor came in person, which was what he didn't expect, so this time he asked for rain, only success, not failure, defeat is death.
This is the civilization of the twentieth century, before the crossing, people naturally do not feel anything, but in the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely cutting-edge technology, so the Tang Dynasty dared to be the dragon king, it was the dragon king who dreamed of teaching him to rain. Mom**, in such an era, if you want to explain, I'm afraid it can't be explained, and it is likely that people will think that he is a monster and kill him, so Suo ** will deify him, so that these people will be easy to believe.
, it depends on luck.
The Tang Dynasty observed for a few days, and now the clouds are very high, and now these artillery fires in hand are afraid that they will not be able to send dry ice into the clouds, so they chose the top of Nishan Mountain and asked people to transport all the artillery fire, in order to shorten the distance a little and increase the possibility of success.
Although Nishan is not high and bare, it is still about a thousand meters above sea level after all, and the dry ice is very light, it is estimated that those things that are used as salutes are so light, and one thousand meters should be obtained, and when the time comes, from the ground, isn't it about two thousand meters?
Hehe, you can touch the clouds for about two kilometers, and it is best to hit the blue-black cloud on the left.
In fact, many clouds did not reach an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, but Shandong was in a great drought and the clouds were high, otherwise it would have rained a long time ago, which added a lot of difficulty to the Tang Dynasty to ask for rain. Under normal circumstances, as long as there are hundreds of pieces of dry ice ** into the clouds, it will rain immediately, at least in an instant, it will rain like a note, it is no problem to deceive the emperor, at least this life can be saved, but the worry is that the clouds are too high, the dry ice can not reach the required position, and can only drop some dancing water, which is extremely troublesome.
However, the current situation is that the arrow is ready to fly, and I have to see a pile of about two hundred sacks on the side, which have condensed into dry ice, knowing that this is the work of Sheva for a poor day, seeing that he is now sleeping with his eyes closed, knowing that he has exhausted all his strength.
Hey, with a sigh in his heart, the five tigers of the Zhuan clan worked harder, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, as long as there were three hundred dry ice sacks, they could also try their luck.
At such a time, Tang Dynasty was also worried in his heart, knowing that his little life depended on whether God favored him or not, so he had to instruct Zhuan Xin how to cannon, how to load gunpowder, and which cloud cannons to to, and agreed with him that within three o'clock in the afternoon, seventy cannons have been firing non-stop ** dry ice, and it must be made to rain as much as possible.
Everything was ordered, and the Tang Dynasty was a little afraid to go up to Nishan, followed by several officials from Menxia Province, all of whom were considered their subordinates.
These things, the Tang Dynasty naturally did not avoid them, after all, they and themselves, are grasshoppers tied to a rope, they are also helpless now, they have to resign themselves to fate, if the emperor does not come, you can also fake, deceive the emperor, after all, the matter is death, tidy up and cloth. It's not death, it makes no difference, you can cheat, but now it's obviously not good, because the emperor is here.
When the Tang Dynasty went to Nishan, Wuqing Zhenren was bathing him and changing clothes, wearing a wide black and shiny Taoist robe, tied high, thick-soled cotton shoes, black water elastic ink pants, dusty and light, like a Taoist person.
At this time, Li Longji had already used the lunch that Gongsun Li had diligently made, and Luan was driving up the mountain, followed by Li Linfu and Wei Jian, who were court officials, who came to see the Tang Dynasty to ask for rain, but it was actually wrong, most of them were actually here to have a good show.
Li Longjijun has no jokes, if there is no rain at three o'clock in the afternoon, then this little life of the Tang Dynasty will be cut down in public, after all, no else, it is a crime of bullying the monarch and should be punished!
Li Longji sat on a wide sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain, watched the scenery of Nishan, and smiled at Gao Lishi beside him: "The scenery of Nishan is secluded, very interesting, don't you think?" β
Gao Lishi said: "The emperor is, the slaves still think that Nishan is the hometown of the Confucian saint, so it is admired by the world, and now that the emperor comes, Nishan will be more famous." β
"Haha, of course!" Li Longji smiled proudly.
At this time, noon is approaching.
The Tang Dynasty had already arranged incense cases in the Dragon King Temple, burned incense and prayed, and walked forward.
He stepped on Gangbu and learned to understand himself.
Of course, Wuqing also knew that his idea of escaping now would not work, so he had to pin all his hopes on Tang Dynasty, hoping that it would be as good as this kid, and the Dragon King really gave him a dream at night, so that he could ask for rain, and naturally taught him the kung fu at the bottom of the box.
The footwork of Taoism is extremely wonderful, even if you see the Taoist casting the spell with your own eyes, but you can't teach it, and you don't know the trick of it. It turns out that Wuqing's footwork is from the 64 steps of Fuxi, which is said to be deduced by King Wen of Zhou in the confinement, and is regarded as a classic gossip footwork in later generations.
When each step is taken, it is a direction, and it cannot be wrong, "Mingyi" can not be changed to "ε²Ώstretch", "Dayou" can not be mistakenly stepped on as "Qianji", otherwise, one step is chaotic, and the meridians will be disordered. It's a bit like "Linbo Weibu", which is also the way of gossip, but what Wuqing taught, is much simpler than Linbo Weibu, and there are many fewer changes to the enemy.
After all, this is only used by Taoists when they practice, not a special martial arts, what they want to pursue is to step out of the gangfeng, so that the lights and candles on all sides are flickering and extinguishing, and what is pursued is a mysterious effect, so that people like Li Longji mistakenly believe that the Tang Dynasty is carrying out some kind of mysterious communication with the dragon king in the sky.
Moreover, although the Tang Dynasty did not know the true legend of Wuqing, the foundation of light skills was there, and it was actually decent.
When Li Longji arrived, everyone knelt down to greet the car, but the Tang Dynasty was like being in the middle of an evil spirit, taking care of himself, waving in the dust, and straightening his arms, as if he was doing it, and he didn't take Li Longji seriously at all.
Li Longji came up the mountain today, also with the intention of watching the excitement, saw everyone kneeling, waved his hand, shouted "Zhongqing is flat", and then walked off Luanjia, looking at the Tang Dynasty who was pretending to be a ghost.
At this time, the soil in the newly repaired Dragon King Temple was not dry, but the eighteen children in Tsing Yi all held an oil lamp in their hands, standing on the side of the god case in two columns, revealing a large open space in front of the statue for the Tang Dynasty to pray for rain.
The face of the Tang Dynasty is full of black ** symbols, written with the bird-shaped characters that have long been extinct, I don't know what to do, under the bright daylight, with the strange steps of the Tang Dynasty, showing a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere.
All of them held their breath for fear of angering the gods.
The face of the dragon king statue is just colored, showing the fierceness and majesty of the dragon, and the two eyes are made by the Tang Dynasty with two gems on his body, and he installed them with his own hands.
Hmph, when I gave Dragon King An's eyes, Tang Dynasty thought, such a good thing, I have to take it with me when I leave!
The person who gave him such a heavy gift was Li Linfu, who begged him to come forward to play a copy of Zhang Qiu and Qiong that day, and used this gift to impress the Tang Dynasty.
The dragon chair has already been moved, and Li Longji watched leisurely.
Now there was no mocking look in his eyes, but a kind of admiration. This kid, who is young, can't imagine that his concentration is so good, and he jumps like a clown like this, can he really ask for rain?
Hmph, I didn't look for a bronze mirror to look at myself, and I didn't let Master Yuzhenguan, who was begging for rain, ask for rain, and I actually went up, what did I do?
However, it was already very close to three o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no sign of confusion in the shape of this kid's step, his heart was very determined, why was he so confident?
Hmph, if I don't get the rain, I'll cut off his head right away!
He is not afraid of death!
At such a time, Li Longji's heart also rose with an unfathomable feeling, will this kid ask for rain?
