Royal Road - Chapter 193

[Chapter 192 | City]

Going to a banquet?

Liang Feng’s gaze couldn’t help but bump into Cui Ji’s equally clear gaze.

Without any hesitation, he nodded and said, “Your Highness, please accept your orders. I don’t know where the banquet will be held?

”

Xianming Yuan was the Li Palace in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not far from Jianchun Gate.

After it was changed to a garden, it was also passed around in the hands of several powerful people, and now it is in the hands of Sima Yue.

Being able to visit this palace is something that many people wish for.

However, Liang Feng didn’t feel much honor in his heart. After thanking Xiao Huangmen, he turned around and boarded the ox cart.

Cui Ji urged the horse to follow, and said in a low voice through the car window: “Fu Jun, I’m afraid this is the means of the King of the East China Sea. However, it must be obeyed.”

Liang Feng naturally knew it.

It’s like taming a beast. Beat first, then train. If the action is done well, you can give some rewards.

Step by step, people lower the bottom line and become obedient lackeys.

It’s really not a happy thing to be taught by people like this.

But can you refuse?

Liang Feng said lightly, “I know.”

Now that we have come this far, what else can we do?

Fortunately, Sima Yue was a guy who was keen on “the demeanor of celebrities”. With him, he could save some face, and he didn’t need to be a slave or a servant.

Cui Ji sighed: “It’s a pity that the thunderbolt cannon was offered early…”

This was the magic weapon they had originally kept at the end, so they offered it up without thinking.

When it comes to the banquet, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Liang Feng didn’t care much: “It’s better to give it to the court than to give it to the King of the East Sea alone.”

The Thunderbolt is indeed a powerful weapon, but the production and manipulation of this kind of counterweight gun carriage requires higher precision.

Under Liang Feng’s command, the quality of the artillery battalion was one of the best. All the artillerymen knew the most basic calculations. The officers who aimed at the school artillery were also familiar with surveying and mapping, and were proficient in the arts.

Such people are rare in the military.

Is it possible that Sima Yue Di can be matched with such a high-level gunner?

Without these people, the thunderbolt guns are almost the same as the manpower ones, but they are a lot more expensive. It is estimated that Sima Yue would not take it to heart.

As long as the real big killer, fire|powder, never leaked out, everything else is trivial.

Cui Ji also understood the pros and cons.

Just watching the situation in the court, I am afraid that tomorrow’s banquet will not be a good banquet.

Seeing the tired look of the person in the car, Cui Ji stopped talking, quietly guarded by the car, and walked to the official residence.

The next day, the ox cart drove out of Luoyang City along Jianchun Gate, and traveled for a few more miles before arriving at Xianming Garden.

This place is already located in the mountains, all the way is paved with bluestone, and the bamboo is shady, even in the hot summer, it is isolated from the mountains and forests.

It is no wonder that the royal family in the Han Dynasty used this as their palace.

It seems that it has not been affected by the catastrophe in the city at all. The clear springs in the mountains and forests, the buildings are widely spread, and there are many birds and beasts strolling in the gardens among the strange flowers and trees.

Thinking of the Jingu Garden built by the wealthy Shi Chong in those days, it can only be like this.

Driving all the way, Liang Feng’s complexion was a little pale, and today he was wearing a dark single shirt, which highlighted his tiredness and sickness.

However, walking among the quiet forest roads with a thin body, the breeze blowing through the sleeves, the clouds walking on the grass, and there is a little air of immortality.

Therefore, when he crossed the stone path and walked to the terrace full of distinguished guests, the chatter and laughter on the stage were silent.

Liang Feng bowed and saluted the man on the main seat: “Xiaguan has seen the Taiwei.”

Sima Yue praised in his heart, this suit seems to be three points better than yesterday’s court.

Immediately, he smiled and said, “Prefect Liang came just in time, I have invited the noble today.”

What kind of person can be called “precious” in front of Sima Yue, who is an extremely high-ranking official?

Liang Feng’s eyes swept across the banquet and fell on one person.

Feather clothes star crown, crane hair boy face, I saw a very good-looking Taoist sitting in the middle.

The seat is quite honorable, but his expression is indifferent, with a dusty appearance.

Sima Yue noticed Liang Feng’s gaze and introduced with a smile: “This is the direct disciple of Immortal Zuo. Zhang Daochang, what do you think of Prefect Liang?”

It is well known that Liang Zixi believed in Buddhism.

But Sima Yue not only entertained the Taoist, but also let the other party comment casually.

For Liang Feng, who is in the position of prefect, it is a rudeness.

The old Taoist smiled and said, “Prefect Liang’s character is outstanding, and his spiritual orifices are clear, but he has gone astray and injured his five internal organs. If he cultivates with the breathing method, and supplements it with elixir, it may be saved.

” , as soon as you hear it.

Liang Feng smiled lightly: “Life and death have fate, my material is limited, and I don’t want to go against the sky.”

It seems like a rejection, but also like a straight statement, this answer is impartial, even if it is viewed in the natural way of Xuan Dao. quite meaningful.

Hearing this, Sima Yue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: “What a life and death, Mr. Liang, please sit down.”

Liang Feng saluted again and took off his shoes.

However, after he sat down, Sima Yue didn’t put his eyes on him, but asked the old man humbly: “I heard that Zhang Daochang has a wonderful way to cultivate one’s body before, I was very curious, and I would like to hear the details.” The

old man raised his face .

With a smile on his face, he said solemnly: “The country is the same as the body. The mother is also the Tao. People can protect the Tao in the body, so that the essence and energy are not labored, and the five spirits are not suffering, so they can last for a long time. Therefore, you should love and support them. , The death was frightening, and only left the form and removed the wisdom, and the essence was the truth. This is called sitting and forgetting. However, the Taiwei lived in a turbid world, and it was difficult to maintain the noble body. Xuanfei, keep your life and nourish your qi…”

In this way, Lao Dao talked about Fang|zhongshu and Dan Dao, not to mention Sima Yue, even the companions around him listened attentively.

Liang Feng, who was sitting in the guest seat, seemed to be forgotten, but his expression did not change in the slightest, but he was sitting alone on the couch with his waist straight.

Perhaps it was aroused by the

Taiwei’s attention, the old man said in one breath for two quarters of an hour before he let out a long sigh: “…This is just a fur.

, said again and again: “What the immortal said is very true! I have also heard that the immortal has the ability to make divinations, but I don’t know if I can see it?

”

Buddhists are used to doing things that mutilate oneself, while Taoism is a standard trick.

Just like Zuo Ci fishing for perch in the Songjiang River in front of Cao Cao, the more magical the better.

The old man smiled slightly: “Since it’s a Yao, it’s better to Shefu. Please ask the Taiwei to ask the question.” Shefu

is also an extremely ancient divination game.

It is to place objects under the upside-down urn and pot, so that people can guess what is in it.

It can be predicted according to the time or the shape of the utensils at that time.

This also involves Yili, so it is very common among literati.

Unexpectedly, the other party would respond like this, Sima Yue was startled for a moment, and whispered to his servants to prepare.

After a while, three things were placed in front of Lao Dao.

Who would have guessed that the Taoist didn’t shoot back immediately, but turned to Liang Feng and said, “I don’t know if Liang Taishou can understand things easily?”

Is this an invitation to him?

I’m afraid he wants to belittle the Buddhism he believes in, and elevate himself by the way.

Otherwise, there are so many tricks that can be made, why should it be replaced by shooting cover?

Liang Feng’s brows twitched, and he quickly swept under the stage, then said, “Since the Taoist has invited me, I will give it a try.” The old Tao

didn’t expect Liang Feng to respond. Just as he was about to say something, Liang Feng had already raised his hand. One o’clock over the upside-down bronze pot: “Bed and lodging on the tree, breeding in the water, and Chinese clothing.” In

just three sentences, Lao Dao’s complexion immediately changed. binocular.

Seeing that the old man didn’t guess, Sima Yue was surprised, and then looked at the young man sitting next to him, and then ordered, “Open it and see.” The

maid hurried forward and opened the three bronze pots.

A cicada, a lotus seed, and a hook are placed on the plate.

It is indistinguishable from Liang Feng’s judgment!

This time, even the people around them were surprised.

Sima Yue couldn’t hold it any longer, and asked, “Is Liangjun good and easy to reason?”

Liang Feng sneered from the bottom of his heart, his observation method was actually no different from that old Taoist, he just saw the secret code made by the audience.

One of the three things came from the tree, the other came from the pool, and the other was an ornament at any time ordered by Sima Yue himself.

This is definitely the insurance made by the old man secretly. With these tips, if you answer a few words vaguely, it will be inseparable.

However, he didn’t show it on his face, he just bowed and said, “It’s just a fluke.”

Is there such a fluke method?

At this moment, Sima Yue recalled the incident of the falling star and the solar eclipse, and it seemed that many strange things had really happened around Liang Feng.

Even the first Buddha’s dream was not false.

He doesn’t believe in Buddhism, but after all, ghosts and ghosts still have some influence, how can it be easily ignored?

In the end, Sima Yue still smiled and said, “As expected of a person who studies Buddhism.”

This was not what Liang Feng wanted to hear.

He is here to ask for an official, not to act in front of others.

Sima Yue came to him, could it be to show him the mysteries of Taoism?

Or to test his tolerance bottom line and his attitude towards himself by belittling the religion he believes in?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Liang Feng nodded indifferently: “Taiwei Miaozan.”

Unexpectedly, stealing chickens would not be able to lose rice, the old man’s slender eyebrows narrowed, and he coughed lightly: “It’s almost noon, poor Daoist .

There is also a nine-turn pill here, which is worthy of consumption. I wonder if the captain would like to try it?”

At this moment, Sima Yue’s attention was immediately drawn back.

In fact, the old-fashioned answer just now means that he also guessed three things.

Even if Liang Feng grabbed the front, he couldn’t counteract this magical power.

Seeing the pills at this moment, Sima Yue said quickly, “I hope the immortals will bestow the pills!” The

old man flicked his sleeves, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Sima Yue hurriedly took it, and poured out a round, red-colored elixir from it.

A long way away, there is a smell coming from the nostrils.

After swallowing his saliva, Sima Yue asked, “How to take this pill?”

“Similar to Wu Shi San, take it with alcohol, and then apply the pill.” Lao Dao explained.

This Sima Yue was very familiar with him, so he hurriedly called someone to bring drinks, and he didn’t even test the pills, so he took it.

As soon as the medicine entered the stomach, a burst of heat immediately rose.

Sima Yue only felt that his mind was clear and his eyes were clear, and his spirit was shocked, and even a faint blush appeared on his face.

This medicine seems to be more mellow than Han Shi San, and it doesn’t have that bitterness.

It’s like an elixir!

Lao Dao gathered up his robes and stood up: “I also ask the Taiwei to make pills.”

This is to let him go down and walk around to help digest the medicinal power.

Sima Yue also stood up, the heat wave in his chest made him want to scream and run fast.

With a laugh, he said: “There is Taiqing Lake three miles away, why don’t you have a meal on the lake.” After speaking

, he ignored all the guests and stayed with Lao Dao.

The master had to perform pills, and how could the others stay still, everyone got up one after another and followed Sima Yue to the lake.

Where no one was paying attention, Liang Feng’s complexion turned pale.

After taking two deep breaths, he slowly got up, put on his shoes, and followed behind the brigade.
