Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 504
[Chapter 504 Banquet]
Two days later, the Annan embassy arrived as scheduled and came to Luzhou City.
The big-bellied King of Shu brought high officials in the city and monks from Yongling Temple to wait outside the city to welcome the embassy into the city.
The people of Luzhou lined the streets to welcome them. The good men and women who devoutly worshiped the Buddha had already snapped up the flowers in the city, and sprinkled petals of various colors on the streets before the mission
.
It’s a pity that the people in the city didn’t see the high-profile auspicious auspicious auspicious – the convoy of the delegation covered the auspicious iron cage with a heavy curtain, added various decorations, and dressed up as a float.
Fortunately, the Annan monks who were reciting the scriptures loudly on both sides of the float were worth the fare.
These Annan monks were skinny and skinny, and their skin was coated with a layer of gold paint, which looked like the Arhats in the temple, quite miraculous. .
In the welcome of the people in the city, the Annan mission entered the Yongling Temple. It
was night. The chanting of Buddhist scriptures in the temple continued throughout the night
.
In the early morning of the next day, except for the few traces of blood left on the bluestone slab, the few unknown dead men who attacked Yongling Temple at night have been completely wiped away from the world.
——————
Palace of the King of Shu, dinner.
The king of Shu was a man of pleasure, and there were many maiko ladies in the mansion. They were wearing silk dresses, playing the lute, and dancing in the hall.
The two rows of guests sat on both sides of the banquet, staggered and chatted happily.
Apart from Luzhou’s dignitaries, the most eye-catching ones were the two quiet Annan monks, one old and one young, silently tasting the vegetarian dishes with chopsticks. Occasionally, I chatted with the eminent monks of Yongling Temple on both sides.
The food and drinks have changed one after another, but the owner of this banquet, the most honorable King of Shu in Luzhou City, has not yet appeared.
Only the big housekeeper of the Shu Palace laughed with him, explaining to the guests that the prince had drunk too much at noon and was still sobering up now.
The King of Shu had a noble status, and the guests did not dare to complain and continued the banquet.
“Buzz–”
Although the courtyard room was surrounded by rolling curtains as thin as cicada wings, and mosquito repellent incense was lit,
there were still mosquitoes and flies looking for the candlelight, following the gap of the rolling curtain, into the hall, hovering in the air There was an annoying noise.
“Noisy.”
A guest frowned slightly, picked up the mung bean in the bowl, clasped it at his fingertips and popped it out, hitting a fly in the air with precision.
Pop, pop, pop,
mung beans fly horizontally, and when the bowl is empty, the mosquitoes and flies hovering in the air are also gone.
“Lian Gong is a good way!” The
four guests all laughed and praised.
The military counselor of the Shu Palace, known as “Lian Gong”, smiled and picked up the white cloth, wiped the water droplets on his fingers, and said modestly: “This is just a trick of carving insects. ,
I have a friend below who can use only two fingers to stretch out the fingers like electricity, pinch the hind legs of the flies, and put the flies in the palm of their hands. After a few breaths, the flies in the sky can be swept away,
and when the palm is spread again, the mosquitoes and flies They are all still alive, but the wings were shattered, and with a backhand shake, they all fell to the ground.”
While speaking, a gust of night wind blew, lifted one side of the silk curtain, and let a few moths and insects fly in.
There were no mung beans in the bowl in front of the military counselor. He was just about to order the servant to bring a new bowl when he heard a scholar in the opposite seat laughing loudly: “If you don’t work with Lian Gong, there is also a technique below, which can be eliminated. Worm moth.”
If Wang Bu, a wealthy businessman from Lvzhou, was here, he would surely recognize this young man as the scholar who was chasing Longbeard, but was taken first by the Brahma monk Qiyu.
The scholar’s surname is Song, his name is light, and his current identity is a guest minister under the door of a dignitary in Luzhou.
I saw that he borrowed a handkerchief and silk scarf from the dancer beside him, put it in his hand and pointed it with a sword
. Peck feathers, lively and lifelike.
“Go.”
Song Shu chuckled lightly, rubbed his palm lightly, the silky white crane immediately fluttered its wings and flew high, heading straight for the moth,
opened the bird’s beak, and swallowed the moth accurately and quickly.
The white crane’s body is light, and it is almost transparent under the light of the candlelight. All the
guests can clearly see the appearance of moths and worms trapped in the belly of the white crane.
“Okay!” The
four guests cheered in succession, the
scholar smiled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the white crane immediately rushed towards the candle, and the moths in its belly turned to ashes.
The dancer who was sitting next to the scholar pouring wine did not obey. She hugged Song Shuqing’s arm and acted coquettishly, asking him to pay him a silk scarf. The
scholar had no choice but to beg for mercy.
The King of Shu himself liked Qimen and alchemy, and he kept a lot of guest ministers who knew strange books. As the saying goes,
what is good for the lower must be more important. The dignitaries in Luzhou City are not as resistant to alchemy as other cities. .
“Heh.”
An elderly guest at the Shu Palace’s mansion shook his head. How could outsiders be in the limelight at the royal banquet? He immediately smiled and said, “There is also a technique below, please take a look.”
He squinted to the side . His disciple, the latter immediately understood, took off a tube of huge yellowed bamboo tube from his waist,
and after making a guilt, unscrewed the lid of the bamboo tube, and pressed one end of the bamboo tube to the ground.
The elderly guest Qing Shi Shiran took out a bamboo flute from his arms, took a deep breath, and began to blow slowly.
The sound of the xiao is ethereal and distant, full and quiet, but what is more noticeable is the yellowed bamboo tube.
I saw one spider after another, crawling out of the bamboo tube.
These spiders were the size of fists, their faces were dark, and they were covered with needle-like brown fluff. Their fangs were sharp and long and narrow.
The timid guests at the banquet exclaimed in surprise, and the dancers and maids were so frightened that their faces paled and their faces turned pale.
The old guest Qing smiled slightly and continued to play the bamboo flute.
Suddenly, more than a dozen tarantulas seemed to have heard some orders, striding their sturdy and thorny feet, like soldiers, neatly arranged in three rows,
and facing Keqing, raised their front feet, and swayed their bodies from side to side,
as if performing martial arts . The soldiers on the field made various actions according to the instructions.
The guests present have only heard that there are snake dancers in Tianzhu, but they have never heard of making spiders dance with the sound
.
, while clapping his hands vigorously, “It’s a pity that it’s not a suona, otherwise, the spider family will be happily sent away.”
Hearing this, the old man dancing spider looked a little ugly
. The guest Qing, as the so-called peers are enemies, everyone is a alchemist, and it is inevitable that they will compete with each other on weekdays.
“Oh?” The
old man put down the bamboo flute, let all the tarantulas return to the bamboo tube, looked at Bai Yongyan and said indifferently: “I don’t know what new magical technique Bai has, and would you like to share it with you?”
