Chapter 422: Let’s fight later
In a cave next to Sanqing Temple, there are all kinds of pots and pans in the cave.
There is an old bookshelf with many spotless bamboo tubes stacked on it. Directly behind it hangs a canvas of about ten feet with the profound I Ching Bagua pattern painted on it.
There is a bronze incense burner placed on a finished table, and three pillars of high incense rise up into the sky and disperse under the purple sun.
There are three futons and a table placed on the ground of the cave. The bamboo cup on the table is steaming.
Li Buyi, whose face was originally rosy, now turned even redder and his head became more disheveled.
After Liu Dashao finished speaking a section of Baijie, he raised his bamboo cup and drank some tea.
"Sir, the boy's story is over, you can go now."
"etc."
Li Buyi grabbed Mr. Liu's wrist and said, "Young man, if I look at your bones and amaze me, you must be a unique genius. Let me tell you another one."
"Sir, this guy is a gentleman. How could he tell those obscene stories casually? You have misjudged the wrong person."
"Hiss, this poor Taoist has been cultivating here for ninety years. This is the first time I have seen such a shameless young man like you."
Young Master Liu, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Li Buyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon: "You said you have been cultivating here for ninety years. How old are you this year?"
Young Master Liu looked at Li Buyi, who had a rosy complexion. He could only be in his thirties at most, and with his unkempt appearance, he could be in his fifties or sixties at most. He must be joking after ninety years of cultivation.
Li Buyi's face darkened: "Young man, don't you understand the rule of longevity?"
"This kid is so rude."
"Forget it, I'm surprised by your bones. Think about it, think about it."
Li Buyi started to count with his fingers: "Is Pindao going to be 121 this year or 122nd? There are no years in the mountains, and Pindao can't seem to remember clearly."
"What the hell, you are over one hundred and twenty years old this year? Do you think I am a fool? How can you be over one hundred and twenty years old?"
"Ami... Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, you are not related to Pindao. Why did Pindao deceive you?"
"Tell me another story, and how about I give you a divination for free?"
Major General Liu looked at Li Buyi suspiciously: "Please help me with your fortune first, and then I'll see if it's accurate."
"Okay, you wait."
Li Buyi got up and dug out a bamboo tube on the bookshelf and returned it to the table: "Boy, please write down your birth date."
Young Master Liu did not hesitate and wrote his birth date on the papyrus paper: "Sir, please read it."
Li Buyi picked up the straw paper and looked at it, then began to shake the bamboo tube, and a bamboo stick flew out of the bamboo tube a few times. Li Buyi picked up the bamboo stick and looked at it, then pinched a Ziwu seal with his fingers and recited silently.
Mu Ran Li Buyi opened his eyes and looked at Young Master Liu in fear, and took a few steps back: "You...you...are you a human or a ghost?"
Young Master Liu's eyes narrowed: "Sir, you are joking. This kid is a living person, how can he be a ghost?"
"No way, this is impossible."
Li Buyi walked to the Bagua pattern in despair, took out a compass and looked at it carefully, muttering that it was impossible.
After a while, Li Buyi kept calculating with his fingers, and from time to time he looked at Mr. Liu who was kneeling on the futon, showing a hint of fear: "Gathering water brings wealth. Although this man is rich and powerful, he is indeed destined to die young. I can only enjoy wealth and honor for twenty years, but I don’t want to live beyond twenty years.”
Putting down the compass, Li Buyi fearfully walked to sit opposite Young Master Liu and said, "Stretch out your left hand."
After hearing this, Young Master Liu put his palm on the table. Li Buyi opened Young Master Liu's palm and looked at it carefully: "It's impossible. You can change your destiny against the will of heaven. You were originally destined to be rich and wealthy, but now you How could your destiny become emperor... No, there must be something wrong somewhere."
"No, there must be something wrong."
"Sir, what have you calculated?"
Li Buyi turned around, grabbed the compass and walked out of the cave in a panic. He stood at a place with confusing steps and began to make calculations. From time to time, he looked up at the gradually darkening sky.
"The Emperor Star of Ziwei dims, the Greedy Wolf Star gradually becomes brighter, the dragon lies on the hill, and the tiger returns to the mountain. According to the changes of Greedy Wolf Star, this is... this is... the hidden dragon in the abyss , the world changes hands, poof..."
Li Buyi's face turned red and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Li Buyi looked like he was crazy: "No, no, this is false. I have clearly calculated the fate of the country of the Great Dragon Dynasty. The emperor's star is high, so it is impossible for him to die. Why is this happening?"
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Li Buyi came back to his senses and looked at Young Master Liu's face: "You are indeed...yes..."
"Sir, you haven't said anything about my hexagram yet?"
"You will go to the Kingdom of Jin for good fortune and misfortune, but you will not be in danger of your life. I still have some things to deal with. Young Master, please do as you please."
Li Buyi ran towards the cave in panic.
Young Master Liu was stunned for a moment and then looked at Li Buyi's back in surprise: "Awesome, I knew I was going to the Kingdom of Jin without even saying anything. I'm really capable."
"Liu Song, let's go back."
"Master, how's the deal?"
"How do you say that? You said it's okay but you didn't calculate it. You said you didn't calculate it but you still calculated it a little bit."
"Forehead.........."
"Forget it, let's go, I always feel like this guy is so arrogant."
The carriage slowly walked out of the valley.
Not long after, a ghostly figure came out of the cave next to Sanqing Temple, carrying a big baggage on his back and mumbling something.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty bless me. Xiaodao has no intention of prying into heaven. Patriarch bless me. Little nun, little widow, I am about to leave. You must be careful when bathing in the future. There are many bad people, and I cannot protect you. ”
.........
"Third brother, don't look at it. You'll be back soon. Isn't it a matter of life and death?"
Young Master Liu reluctantly looked away from Qi Yun: "Let's go."
Loud horn blasts came from the north gate of the capital, and the dragon's envoys rushed towards the north.
At the same time, thirty scouts and infantrymen rushed forward in three groups to explore the way.
The team was not marching in a hurry. It took more than a month of stopping and stopping to reach the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. The news of the dragon sending envoys had already reached the palace of the Kingdom of Jin before the team entered the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.
Two thousand people stayed at the Yingbin Post in the capital of the Jin Kingdom for three days before they were notified that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was going to summon the dragon envoy.
"Your Majesty has a decree, and the envoy of Xuan Dalong is here to see you."
"The ministers obey the decree."
The young eunuch glanced at Young Master Liu and Song Qing curiously: "You two noble envoys, please clean up and follow us into the palace."
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please wait a moment."
"Brother, they speak Chinese very well."
"Nonsense, do you understand Jin Guohua?"
"that's true."
"Third brother, have you shaved your beard cleanly? Isn't it appropriate to meet the Emperor of Jin like this?"
"Don't you also have a beard? Why should I shave it off?"
"My eldest brother has a beard, but you have stubble. How can it be the same? You'd better shave."
"I didn't shave, I kept it on purposely for more than a month. How could I shave it clean and recognize it... Don't you think a beard looks manly?"
"You are making it your will."
"That's it, let's go into the Jin Kingdom Palace and have a look."
"Okay, but can you put down the black pipe on your back? If you don't blow it, why are you carrying it around all day?"
"I'm happy, hobby."
Song Qing spread his hands: "Unfortunately, we can't bring anything with us except documents."
"Why? Isn't this the behavior of a bully?"
"The diplomatic relations between the two countries have always been like this. I said you haven't read any books on the rules of sending envoys, right?"
"Um... I saw it, of course I did. Is it true that I can't take it with me?"
"Aren't you still not watching?"
"Two noble envoys, please get in the car."
The carriage walked slowly on the flat main road towards the palace, and finally stopped after a stick of incense.
"Two noble envoys please."
"Brother, the Jin Kingdom Palace is quite big!"
"talk less."
"All right."
"Two noble envoys, please wait a moment. Please give the document to the younger one, and he will go and explain."
"Good work."
The two people who were surveying the palace environment were brought back to their senses by a sharp voice.
"Your Majesty has a decree. Xuan Dalong is envoy Liu Shu, and deputy envoy Song Qing is here to see you."
Young Master Liu sighed and walked into the Jinluan Palace of the Kingdom of Jin with his chest raised and his head raised. Song Qing followed a step later.
"The envoy of the Great Dragon, Liu Shu, from the Song and Qing Dynasties met with His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin and wished His Majesty long live."
"No need to pay tribute."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wanyan Wanyan sat high on the dragon chair with a majestic expression. Below her stood the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom, looking at the two young masters Liu standing in the middle.
Today is the first time to meet each other. Only two envoys are required to meet. Tomorrow there will be a banquet to formally receive all the envoys of Dalong.
Wanyan Wanyan gently put down the document in her hand: "Master Long Guoliu, Master Song..."
Wanyan Wanyan stared blankly at Young Master Liu and Song Qing who had already stood up and narrowed her eyes, especially Young Master Liu's eyes which showed a hint of sparkle.
The queen's jade hands on the dragon table were tightly clasped together, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. If there is a way to heaven, don't take it. If there is no door to hell, just go to it.
Young Master Liu looked at Wanyan Wanyan's expression and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
My name is Liu Mingzhi, Liu is Liu from Young Master Liu, Ming is Ming from Xiao Mingming, as my aunt calls me, and Zhi is the ambition of people with lofty ideals.
I am panicking now because I feel a torture from my soul. What should I do? Please give me advice.
I think I may have to finish playing today.
"Where is the Jinwu Guard?"
The Queen's clear voice echoed throughout the hall.
"I'm waiting here."
"Press the big dragon down on the willow tree and give it twenty first blows."
"According to the order."
Young Master Liu's eyes were wide open and he looked at Wanyan Wanyan above in disbelief. What's the situation? He just said a word and was punished twenty times.
Song Qing was also a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Your Majesty, no."
An old man wearing a purple official robe among the civil servants came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the two countries are at war, please think twice."
Wanyan Wanyan turned her glasses and the clear and melodious voice sounded again: "Old Master, it is true that the two countries will not cut off envoys when they are at war, but I never said that the two countries have diplomatic relations and will not call in envoys."
"Ah?" The old master looked stunned and immediately came to his senses.
"Your Majesty, scolding the dragon's envoy for no reason is declaring war with the dragon. Your Majesty must not do that."
"I didn't punish the envoy Dalong for no reason. I beat him because he broke the rules of the Kingdom of Jin."
"May I ask Your Majesty, which rule of the Kingdom of Jin was broken by the Dragon Envoy?"
The Queen bit her red lips lightly, and her exquisite eyes quickly turned: "He entered the main hall with his left foot. In the Kingdom of Jin, it is disrespectful to me to enter the palace with his left foot."
"This?" The old master and the civil and military ministers of the Jin Kingdom stared blankly at the emperor on the dragon throne. When did the Jin Kingdom have such rules?
"Jin Wuwei obeys the order, suppress it, and hit first before talking about it."
"According to the order."
"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged."
