Chapter 9 The Unexpected Unexpected
In the cabin, Li Xuantong set up a table to feast on Wu Jiansheng.
"Come, Mr. Wu, I'll do it first. "It's evening at the moment, it's evening at this moment, with the help of the light, Li Xuantong finally saw the true face of Wu Jiansheng after washing, he is about twenty or thirty, his appearance is mediocre, his hair is slightly shorter than that of ordinary people, and his face is rounder than ordinary people.
Wu Jiansheng looked at the wine and food in front of him, stunned, he was still a prisoner who was going to die half a day, but he became a guest of the little prince at night, coupled with the experience of crossing, he felt like a dream.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Li Xuantong asked, "Why are these dishes unappetizing?"
"Ah," Wu Jiansheng reacted: "Speaking of which, then since this is the case, Your Highness the Prince of the World, I am not welcome." After that, Wu Jiansheng picked up the dishes and chopsticks, feasted on them, and the dishes and chopsticks he ate jingled. Although stir-fry in the Tang Dynasty was not yet popular, the dishes on this table were either roasted or boiled. But as the saying goes, if you are hungry for a long time, everything will smell good. He hadn't eaten a full meal for three days, his lips were dry, and he had been hungry for the past few months, and these dishes seemed to him like the delicacies of the mountains. choked on eating, he actually picked up a whole pot of wine and poured it into his mouth, without looking at Li Xuantong's face. After drinking, he also said: "What a thing, it's the same as drinking plain water." "It's no wonder, most of the folk liquor in the Tang Dynasty was only fermented and not distilled sake, rice wine, these liquor degrees are estimated to be inferior to the current strong beer, and in the eyes of water, it is no wonder that Li Bai can fight wine for a hundred articles.
As soon as Li Xuantong saw him call this wine white water, he immediately became excited when he looked at him, "Okay, I didn't expect you to call yourself a monk, and there is such a large amount of it." At this time, a woman wearing a cyan maid dress walked in with a few jugs of wine, only to see her hair combed two hanging buns about fifteen or sixteen, Wu Jiansheng saw her in his heart and commented on his appearance - a good cute Lori. The maid named Xiao Lian finished pouring wine for the two, and when she saw Wu Jiansheng's eating appearance, she covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing that there was a woman next to him laughing at herself, Wu Jiansheng was also a little embarrassed, put down the plate in his hand (Khan, how hungry you are, the plate has been copied by you) and drank like Li Xuantong, and said when toasting: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, the vulgar people in the mountains and wilderness don't understand etiquette, and they are disrespectful and disrespectful." When he did this, Xiao Lian laughed even harder, and Li Xuantong was also amused by him: "Don't pretend to be elegant in front of me, I'm actually wilder than you." As he spoke, he lifted a flask and opened the lid and poured it into his mouth.
"Wait, Your Highness. Wu Jiansheng stopped him, "With all due respect, I heard Dr. Ding say that you have a stroke, and you can't drink more alcohol for this disease, so you should drink a few fewer glasses." ”
Li Xuantong said indifferently: "Of course I know, but since my head still hurts after drinking, it hurts if I don't drink, and it's a sin if I don't drink or not, so it's better to drink it." Saying that, he picked up the wine jug and drank heavily, and he didn't give in to Wu Jiansheng's appearance just now.
After three rounds of drinking, the two also opened up the conversation.
Li Xuantong asked drunkenly, "Alas, Wu Jiansheng, let me ask you, when you rescued newborn children in Fangzhou, why didn't you take a penny, only ask for food and lodging, did you really come down the mountain to do good?" ”
"Hiccup~~, it's a very simple answer, I can't bear it. That place is worthy of being a place of exile, the poor jingle bells, the county officials' official uniforms are patched, the common people are even poorer jingles, and there are countless people who can't afford to buy mattresses. ”
In just a few words, Xiao Lian's gaze at him changed from banter to a little respect.
"What kind of incubator did you make, is there such a god? Can you really save a premature fetus?"
"Huh?" Wu Jiansheng glanced at him, stretched out his hand and compared: "Sixty percent, only sixty percent of the probability can, after all, I don't know medical skills? ”
Li Xuantong took another drink, "Then how are you so able to save people from the Heavenly Palace of fire and water."
Gongqibao's?"
Wu Jiansheng laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World, you have said a lot, this is not a heavenly treasure that saves people from fire and water at all." When I was a child, I saw the chicken coop used to hatch chicks at home, and from this I got this incubator. Wu Jiansheng said in his heart at this time: "Doctor Stephen in history seems to have invented the nursery box in this way, and I remember that when I first came out, it was very simple and could only be filled with water and constant temperature." However, although I know the general principle, the quality of the iron ingots in the Tang Dynasty is still not good, and it has been cracked several times, so I can only make a large thermos cup. It seems that when will the Sugang method be popularized......"
"Alas, Mr. Wu, let me ask you. Just when Wu Jiansheng's thoughts almost flew out of the sky, Li Xuantong's words pulled him back again: "What were you thinking just now?"
"Ah, I just now~" Wu Jiansheng thought about it, and decided to tell the truth, "I was thinking of a way to smelt iron ore." ”
"Huh?" This sudden sentence made Li Xuantong inexplicable, "Didn't you say that you are a reclusive monk? Why did you become a blacksmith again?"
Wu Jiansheng didn't answer, but put down the wine glass, and said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness, the wine will be drunk here first, it's time to talk about business." ”
To be honest, Wu Jiansheng still has a good impression of His Royal Highness, after all, there are too few imperial relatives in the feudal society who are really willing to care about the lives of low-level people like him. And as soon as they met, they feasted him, toasted him, and called him sir. What is this equivalent in modern society? It means that you are going to be arrested tomorrow and sent to a labor camp, but suddenly you meet a big boss who rescues you and invites you to eat and drink. If this were an ordinary person, it would have been sworn allegiance a long time ago. But Wu Jiansheng is not an ordinary person, he is almost thirty years old, and he has seen too many people who have been praised and carried away so much that they have been praised and killed. He doesn't think that he is the protagonist of a brainless online article, and when his domineering spirit is revealed, everyone treats him as a guest. And since just now, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been toasting him, obviously trying to get him drunk, he is not interested in him Wu Jiansheng himself but what he knows in his head. However, he never expected that this Wu Jiansheng was very good at drinking, and he didn't get drunk for a long time, but he was almost drunk. In desperation, I had to ask directly.
Li Xuantong saw that Wu Jiansheng directly picked out the words, so he waved and motioned for Xiao Lian to go down, and after Xiao Lian retreated, he took two chopsticks to cook mushrooms and tasted them, and stopped the cup. With a solemn expression, he said, "You're not an ascetic at all, or tell your true identity?"
Wu Jiansheng's eyes rolled, "How did His Royal Highness the Prince of the World find out?" Of course, Wu Jiansheng didn't think that his casually made up identity could hide it from Li Xuantong, but he wanted to know how Li Xuantong saw it.
Li Xuantong pointed to the plate of mushrooms and smiled: "This kind of shiitake mushroom is called a big red mushroom, it looks very much like a poisonous mushroom, and most of the ascetic people in the mountains will tell whether it is poisonous or not when they see this mushroom." You look at it and you don't even react at all, you look at this thing and you don't react at all. If you are an ascetic and can't even distinguish mushrooms, are you waiting to starve to death in the mountains?"
Wu Jiansheng was shocked when he heard this: Cao, this guy's heart is too fine, he has to explore my outlet when he puts a plate, and the Chinese wine table culture has a long history.
"Okay, stop lying to me and tell me who you really are. In fact, Li Xuantong already has some speculations about Wu Jiansheng's identity in his heart: he can do some strange things, know some health preservation methods (persuade him to drink less), know a lot of news in the court, and is still a black household. Well, it's probably because he angered a certain royal relative who was kicked out. Because the Li Tang clan claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, and because Gaozu Li Yuan got the Louguan Taoist Sect Leader Qi Hui to determine that the Heavenly Dao would be changed, he sent eighty-eight Taoist masters to help, so the Tang Dynasty not only valued the Buddha, but also emphasized the Tao. The alchemy priests invited from the palace have not been interrupted since Taizong, so he thinks that Wu Jiansheng is a alchemy alchemist, so it is natural for him to think that Wu Jiansheng is an alchemist. As for him saying that he predicted the time of Princess Taiping's death, it was nothing in Li Xuantong's eyes. As long as people who have a certain understanding of the Li Tang clan basically think that Princess Taiping is bound to lose, don't look at the current crown prince is only promised, but above the court, including the saint, no one will let the second Wu Zetian appear. As for his speculation about the death date of Li Lingyue (Princess Taiping's real name is unknown, some people speculated that her name was Li Lingyue according to a table of the prince and prince in the book of the Tang Dynasty, and I didn't bother to make it up, so let's call it this name), Li Xuantong was shocked at first, but then he thought about it carefully. Even if it was really exactly the same as what he said, he wouldn't be surprised, because the so-called deduction of the future by those alchemist masters was actually just blindness. You say a time, I say a time, there will always be one or two blind cats who meet the dead mouse, if you can't count it, say that the number of days has changed, unexpectedly, those who rely on fortune telling to eat, are generally the same.
Wu Jian took a sip of wine, and thought carefully about how he should tell Li Xuantong and admit his identity as a crossover? Even if he believed it, he would probably regard himself as a demon Shen Jiang, and knowing that such a thing as obeying orders was a big taboo in ancient times. Then it is safe to be safe, but Li Xuantong probably will never take his prediction seriously again, and then live a life in obscurity. Heaven gave him a chance to be born again, he did nothing in his previous life, will he still be like this in this life?
After being silent for a long time, just when Li Xuantong was about to get impatient, Wu Jiansheng made up his mind and said seriously: "Actually, I really have the ability to predict the future. ”
"Hahahahaha," however, in response to him, it was Li Xuantong's merciless sneer: "Wu Jiansheng, Wu Jiansheng, I know that you have been scared of a few things in the court, and I am very excited, and I want to mix up a position here, but this son is not so easy to fool, you still tell the truth, right?"
Facing Li Xuantong's ridicule, Wu Jiansheng was not surprised, and asked seriously: "Did you throw away my torn clothes?"
After a cup of tea.
"Alright, you go down. After sending the next person away, Li Xuantong handed the dress to Wu Jiansheng and covered his nose and said, "This thing stinks, what else do you want him to do?"
I saw that after Wu Jiansheng took it, he flipped through the mezzanine of his clothes and smiled: "Sure enough, it's still here." With that, he pulled out something that looked like a large black wax. Before Li Xuantong could see it clearly, a fierce white light shot out of his hand and rushed straight into Li Xuantong's eyes. Li Xuantong was caught off guard, and his eyes were temporarily and intermittently blind, and he was so frightened that he crawled under the table and shivered.
Wu Jiansheng praised on the side: "Well, it is worthy of high-performance military, and it also has solar energy, and it can be used for a few months." ”
When Wu Jiansheng put away the flashlight in his hand, Li Xuantong poked his head out and said tremblingly: "What was it just now, the eyes of the candle dragon are still the horns of Xiangliu, you, you, you can also use demon magic!" Originally, Li Xuantong didn't believe in any gods and ghosts, but now he can't help but believe it.
"Ahaha, I'm sorry Your Highness, I'm scared, it's not a demon ......" Wu Jiansheng stopped in the middle of the conversation, his eyes moved, and his brain was running rapidly: Yes, I'll just follow his meaning and say that this is immortal art. "This is not a demon spell, but a fire rod of the gods. ”
"Huh?" When Li Xuantong heard this, the second monk was even more confused.
Wu Jiansheng smiled evilly: "If you don't believe it, you can stretch out your hand and try it, you will definitely be inseparable from the pain of the divine fire." ”
Li Xuantong thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't help his curiosity, stood up and stretched out his hand. I saw that the moment he made contact with the flashlight, an electric spark flashed, and Li Xuantong suddenly felt that his left hand was swollen and numb from the inside out by a fierce fire, and he was immediately pulled out in pain. At this time, Li Xuanzhi was frightened, and hid directly behind the door, pointed at Wu Jiansheng and said: "You, you, don't come here, I know what kind of gods and ghosts you have, but this boat is full of my people, and you won't survive if you kill me." (Author: What are you doing when you're crossing? Wu Jiansheng: It's for self-defense. Author: You are a man in your twenties who uses this thing for self-defense, and a knife is better than this thing. Wu Jiansheng: Who told you I didn't bring it. )
Wu Jiansheng laughed heartily when he saw him like he was approaching the enemy: "Hahaha, don't worry, Your Royal Highness, this heavenly fire, only hurt the wicked and not the good, you must be fine." ”
Li Xuantong thought to himself: I did something wrong emotionally, but nothing went wrong on the festival, so it should be fine. He stood up cautiously.
"Actually, I have some other magic weapons, but don't worry, these things won't hurt. As he spoke, he took out a small black box from the mezzanine, and a flame erupted from Wu Jiansheng as soon as he pressed it.
Li Xuantong was so frightened that he was about to run away again, but Wu Jiansheng grabbed him, "Don't worry, this thing is just a fire, and you can't hurt anyone if you can only light a fire." Wu Jiansheng put this thing away, and took out a knife from his clothes that looked strange to Li Xuantong, which looked very much like a pair of scissors, but only one side was as thin as paper, but the surface was extremely smooth and could even be used as a bronze mirror.
"Hehe, do you remember what I said I was thinking about smelting iron? Wu Jiansheng picked up the knife and played it twice in the cool way of street gangsters, handed him the knife and said, "You can use your saber to cut the blade of this knife, I can guarantee that your sword will be the one that breaks first."
As soon as Li Xuantong heard this, the heart of comparison immediately came, he stuck the knife on the ground, then took out his saber and slashed horizontally, and the small blade was unscathed. And he took back his sword and looked at it, only to see that a large gap had appeared on it. Li Xuantong couldn't help but take a long breath and said in surprise: "Although my sword is not a sword, it is also made by a famous craftsman, but it can't damage him a bit, what a divine weapon this is." (On the question of ancient smelting technology............ Don't blow the ancients brainlessly, special knives made of composite steel must be tougher than all kinds of iron and iron tools in ancient times. )
Wu Jiansheng put away the knife and threw it to Li Xuantong and threw it to Li Xuantong, Li Xuantong hurriedly caught it, "His Royal Highness the Prince wants to like it, so I will give it to you." Li Xuantong was very happy, for him, a good knife was much more affordable than a rare treasure, although this knife was a little shorter.
"Alas, Mr. Wu, what is that blister-like thing in your hand?"
"Ahh With that, he threw it into the river. (Later, in modern times, during an excavation of an ancient artifact, an archaeological team discovered the remnants of this artifact in an ancient site.) The experts couldn't understand why rubber was found in the ruins of the Tang Dynasty, and finally had to announce that the ruins had been destroyed by tomb robbers)
