Chapter 44: The National Teacher's Mansion
In fact, as the imperial swordsman of the soul body, he just used the "Transfiguration Heart Sutra" learned from the palace magic when he was the imperial swordsman in the palace to use a small skill to change Xu Dong's appearance.
And what Xu Dong didn't know was that the face he put on was the face of the Confucian Xu Dong before he was reborn.
"The seventeenth princess is slow about the things in the room, and I will teach you a spiritual trick, so that you will please her, come, you follow me!"
Although Xu Dong was a little disgusted with the imperial sword master, in order to get Zhao Ke's heart, he had to learn a little tricks.
Xu Dong memorized the spirit of the maiden, saw that it was dark, and left the back garden to return to his own horse mansion.
Zhao Ke has not allowed Xu Dong to be in the same room with her since he was bullied by Xu Dong's overlord on the night of candles in the cave room.
As soon as she and her personal palace maid Xiao'e entered the bedroom tonight, she saw Xu Dong sitting in front of the desk reading, pretending to be a white-faced scholar.
Zhao Ke became angry when he saw Xu Dong's shadow.
"Go, go, squeeze a room with pots and pots, shovels!"
It is said that Xu Dong is angry, he was locked outside the bedroom by Zhao Ke last night, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to temporarily squeeze in with the little eunuch pot and shovel all night.
"Giggles, Master Ma, our princess is unwell today, please ...... Oh, princess, come and see, the master of the horse is so handsome today!"
Hearing Xiao'e exclaim, Zhao Ke took a closer look, Xu Dong really changed his face, this face was handsome and good-looking, so she liked it just by looking at it.
"You...... What kind of magic did you cast to deceive this princess, and this princess sent the national teacher and beat you back to your original form!"
As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Pots, shovels, quickly send the national teacher to the Seventeen Horse Mansion!"
Xu Dong didn't expect the situation to expand rapidly, so he hurriedly recited the Mixed Yuan Mantra to protect the Yuan Shen from being exposed in the slightest.
"Qingqing Lingling, the heart is under the Bingding, the right looks at the Nandou, the left looks at the seven stars, I can mix the yuan, the heaven and the earth happen, urgent as the law! Urgent as the law! Urgent as the law!"
The great master Ma Wu came to the wind, met Zhao Ke and Xu Dong separately, and then pulled Zhao Ke aside and whispered.
"Princess, the horse master is very high, his bones are full of fairy spirit, and there is nothing evil on his body, you can rest assured!"
"Well, the great teacher, this princess just doesn't understand, he was a ...... yesterday ...... today"
"I think, the horse master is teasing the princess, yesterday he used a little trick to hide his appearance, and today Fang showed his true face......"
Hearing what the great master said, Zhao Ke's hanging heart was put down.
The words of comfort from the great master dispelled the doubts in Zhao Ke's heart, and she sent away her personal maid Xiao'e that night and accepted Xu Dong to be in the same room with her.
Xu Dong sat on the desk with a thread-bound ancient book, making a gesture of reading, but in fact he didn't read a word.
In the Jinluo tent, there is a top beauty like Zhao Ke, where does he have the reason to read a book.
At this moment, the seventeenth princess Zhao Ke, seeing Xu Dong's talent, coupled with this scholarly anger, made her feel a little admiration in her heart.
Xu Dong secretly recited the spirit of the maiden, I read it, don't worry if you don't give me back the legitimate rights of the concubine.
He recited the spirit recipe three times in a row, and Zhao Ke really quickly felt his heart flutter and took the initiative to gather to Xu Dong's side.
Xu Dong's heart blossomed, and he pretended to be serious, Zhao Ke tore off the book in his hand, hugged him, and put a pair of peaks and mountains on his chest against Xu Dong's body.
This night, Xu Dong and Zhao Ke were ecstatic several times.
Xu Dong still felt indebted to Zhao Ke in his heart, he was a pseudo-boy who had fallen in love with several women, but this beautiful seventeenth princess was a fake jade girl.
Early the next morning, the National Teacher's Mansion sent someone to invite the Seventeen Horse Masters, and according to the regulations, all newcomers who entered the Chunyang Palace had to test their skills for the record.
After Xu Dong was dressed neatly, he was ready to ride to the National Teacher's Mansion in the carriage of the horse.
The person who came said humbly, "Seventeen Horse Master, my name is Hong Huang, and I am a small errand boy in the National Teacher's Mansion, I'm sorry, please follow me on foot!"
Xu Dong thought to himself, what kind of rule is this? If you have a car, you have to walk instead of sitting? I wanted to have a seizure, but finally held back.
Unexpectedly, the man named Hong Huang seemed to be insulted, and he didn't treat him as a horse master at all, and took out a black scarf for him to blindfold.
Hong Huang brought a tall dog called "Xiao Hei", and Xiao Hei opened the way in front, and the two of them walked towards the National Teacher's Mansion.
He took Hong Huang's clothes and followed him forward, Hong Huang's steps were so big that he had to trot a little to keep up.
Hong Huang said, "Seventeen Horse Masters, the road we are walking on is called Fucha Yuntu, and not everyone can walk it. ”
Although Xu Dong's eyes could not see the light, he also knew by feeling that the path under his feet was extremely tortuous and complicated.
After walking for about two hours, Hong Huang stopped, said "It's here", and untied the black silk scarf that blindfolded him.
Xu Dong saw that they were standing at the door of a tall mansion, and on each side of the door stood a guard with a spear.
Streams of cool air rushed out from the mansion, making Xu Dong's body shiver.
Hong Huang said, "You wait at the door, the second national division is on duty today, I will go first and report to him." ”
Xu Dong calmed down for a moment and observed the style of the mansion curiously: this is an old-fashioned courtyard house, with a gatehouse in front and a deep courtyard in the back, painted dragon and phoenix or cloud pattern on the wall, and the eaves are made of animal heads and leaking flowers.
This kind of antique mansion, where has he seen it before, but it is not as large as this mansion.
Hong Huang came out of it, "Seventeen Horse Lords, follow me!", and led him through the two long corridors to an empty hall.
At each of the four corners of the main hall stood a samurai, and at the innermost end there was an altar filled with cigarette smoke, and on each side of the altar was a guard wearing armor and carrying a long sword at his waist.
Sitting on the altar was a burly man, probably more than a foot tall, with a mask on his face.
He guessed that this was the Second National Division that Hong Huang was talking about.
"Second National Teacher, I invited the Seventeenth Horse Master. ”
The man said majestically, "Let the Seventeen Horse Masters come and test!"
As he spoke, he pressed a mechanism on the wall, and the screens on both sides of the altar creaked away, and a roulette wheel about two meters in diameter appeared on the wall.
Hong Huang took Xu Dong to the roulette wheel, asked him to press his palm on the roulette wheel, and then took it away, and the roulette wheel slowly turned.
It turned out that this roulette wheel was a tester, Xu Dong thought to himself, this was far worse than the stone curtain of the Lotus Cave, and it was not advanced at all.
Hong Huang counted the number of laps of the wheel: "One, two, three, four......"
When Hong Huang was counting, Xu Dong's eyes were staring at the roulette wheel, which had two layers, the small one was engraved with a turtle and a snake, and the large pattern was extremely strange and complex.
He noticed that with each turn of the wheel, the position of the turtle and the snake changed: the first turn of the turtle went up and down the snake, and the second turn of the snake went up and down the turtle......
The roulette wheel stops after the ninth turn.
“...... Eight circles, nine circles, ho! nine circles! nine circles!
Hong Huang screamed, obviously excited.
