As soon as the protector of the country arrived, all the civil and military officials paid homage to him.
The symbolic burning of incense is performed to express heaven’s hearing.
We went through various etiquette procedures and the momentum was quite great.
Mu Nan was wearing a wide robe with a blue background and gold edges and red silk that was specially ordered by Da Fengchao for the Protector of the Country. He had been busy for two hours and it was not over yet.
The so-called dinner party is indispensable.
Inside the Summer Palace.
Sima Rui's and Mu Nan's tables were placed side by side, and the officials below them were seated in sequence.
There are chimes, strings, strings and bamboos, playing all kinds of solemn palace music.
A place was specially left in the middle for dancers and actors to dance gracefully.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
On Mu Nan's table, delicacies made by chefs from all over the world, and fine wines served from all over the world, changed one after another.
Full of color and fragrance.
Whether in his previous life or this life, he had never seen such "high-end" food.
I couldn't help but rebuke again and again: What an extravagance.
The reason for being so angry is not out of emotion.
But before leaving, Fairy Shuyun specifically told her that as a protector of the country, she should not eat the fireworks of the world.
Not even the wine can contaminate a drop.
To appear aloof from the world.
Therefore, the whole banquet was full of fun and drinking, but he could only drink some good tea.
Watching the food and wine passing by in front of you, smelling the tempting aroma, but not being able to taste it.
Worse than the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain!
How can I bear this?
What made him even more unbearable was that he didn't know which genius in the Qintian Prison came up with the idea to say that the Protector of the Country was an immortal descended from the earth.
If you don’t look down on vulgar food in the world, you naturally want to enjoy some incense.
Suddenly, a huge incense burner was placed next to him.
No matter how high-grade the incense burning inside was, it was extremely pungent.
It even smokes your eyes as if it's on fire!
Of course, even if it is a banquet, the etiquette of hello, me and everyone, and frequent toasts are indispensable.
Toast each other.
Sima Rui was the most respectful and talkative.
It certainly has the implication of being close.
Then came the shuttle of civil servants.
You can’t wear a military uniform, but you can eat sea cucumbers and drink water. It’s a great experience!
The military attache, on the other hand, remained deliberately calm.
It seems that he doesn't care much about the protector of the country.
Just a distant toast is considered a courtesy.
In their view, the expansion of territory by the Feng Dynasty required bloodshed and sacrifice.
These unruly generals who licked blood from their swords believed deep down in their hearts that they were using real swords and guns to protect their country.
It has nothing to do with the aloof Master sitting in the hall.
I have to mention a few words about this.
The world of cultivation is there, and everyone seems to know it.
There are also many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the world.
But no matter whether they were civil or military officials with cultivation or official positions, they kept it secret and did not dare to publicly declare that they wanted to practice cultivation.
I am afraid that the whole people will start a craze for cultivating immortals and ghosts.
In fact, it’s easy to understand:
There are hundreds of millions of people in the Dafeng Dynasty, and any of the eighteen thousand foundation-building monks can be randomly recruited to form a team.
It's not as simple as a bloody storm and a river of blood.
This is also the fundamental reason why the world of cultivation strictly prohibits monks from disturbing the human world.
For example, Xie An obviously has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage, but he always looks like a civil servant, as if he has no power to restrain a chicken.
If a thousand-year-old family wants to survive, the most important thing is to know what can and cannot be done.
As long as a monk in the Nascent Soul stage is in the court and commits the crime of beheading, he will not dare to use magic to kill the emperor when it is time to die.
The predecessor of Dafeng Dynasty, Dazhao, once had the Luohe Li family, which was also a thousand-year-old family.
There are not a few people who practice Buddhism.
With a swollen heart, he rose up with the help of magic.
What's the final outcome?
Three days before the chaos broke out, the royal family went to the guardian country's mage to patrol the sky: there were monks causing trouble.
The Mahayana monks from the Tianxian Supervisor arrived within an hour and dropped a large hand seal directly in the sky.
Leave no chickens or dogs behind!
All the other participants were given death, and the three tribes of Yi were burned.
Known in history as the wrath of God!
This incident has prevented major aristocratic families from even taking a step into cultivation for hundreds of years!
Want to practice?
Okay, go to Daomen!
Do you want to be an official after practicing?
Okay, naughty!
But Mu Nan treated Xie An with full courtesy.
If not for anything else, why don’t you look at Xie Huaiwei’s face?
"Master, is Huaiwei still well-behaved?"
Xie An's speech is extremely artistic.
Neither did he mention that Mu Nan was his son-in-law, nor did he rely on his status as "father-in-law" and yelled at him.
But he said both things.
Mu Nan's reply was more reluctant.
The shadow of a thousand top-quality spiritual stones has reached the human world and is still lingering above the head.
But he couldn't say it bluntly: We were just having fun, don't take it seriously!
Collect people's money and eliminate disasters.
"Great kindness!"
Xie An nodded with satisfaction.
There was also admiration for "uncle" in his eyes.
"The Master has traveled thousands of miles to come to Dafeng. It is an honor for Dafeng!"
The speaker was Sima Wei, the hereditary king of Pingyuan.
He is young and looks talented, but his eyes are too sharp.
"On behalf of the Grand Attaché, I would like to propose a toast to you."
As soon as he spoke, the drink that Sima Rui brought to his mouth slowed down.
have to.
No need to ask, the two of them are not very good at dealing with each other!
They were all staring at the empty spot at the top.
Sima Rui, Zhi Miaoyin, Xie An, Wang Jian and other officials also "accidentally" looked over.
have to.
Fight in separate courts!
You want to be an emperor and a powerful minister, what does that have to do with me?
I am a cultivator!
Mu Nan could only nod slightly, without showing any emotion, and took a sip of tea in return.
Some people are a little lonely, and some people are quite relieved.
The stone in Sima Rui's heart fell.
In this situation, Mu Nanduo's last sentence would send the wrong message.
"I'm just saying, how nice is it to be in seclusion in the Xuntian Prison? I have to be a Dharma Protector of the Country, Lao Shizi."
Mu Nan's mind was spinning: "With just one meal, I learned tactics!"
Sima Wei seemed unwilling to give in.
Another trouble occurred.
"Sima Wei is far away at the border. I have always heard that the Protector of the Country has the ability to summon wind and rain and spread the beans to form an army. I wonder if you can let me wait for the border people to see the world?"
The hereditary King Pingyuan calls himself a frontier citizen, but his words are full of traps.
If Mu Nan doesn't show his hand, he will appear insignificant in the court from now on.
Although the Protector of the Country does not care about the battles in the world, he still represents the face of the Xuntian Prison.
If you show your hand...
The magic has always been blind. To make some noise in the Summer Palace, with a little polish, the shit that overrides the imperial power is splashed on the body.
Looking at Zhi Miaoyin's meaningful eyes again, Mu Nan instantly understood the reason behind it.
Sima Weiding had the secret support of Zhi Miaoyin, so he dared to attack the protector of the country at the banquet.
The root cause is that Mu Nan did not learn the essence.
The disciples of the Xuntianjian who used to come to Dafeng to serve as protector of the country would ask their brothers to make some noise in the sky when they arrived in Jiankang.
Either there are thousands of red clouds, or bursts of thunder, or strong winds, or thousands of winter flowers bloom.
It seems that if there is no good show, there will be no trace of immortality.
Mu Nan is better.
Land far away from the crowd and walk over step by step.
Those who knew it were patrolling the sky and granted the imperial edict, but those who didn't know thought there was a wandering Taoist priest somewhere.
"No matter where you are, when a new official takes office, he still needs to burn the three fires symbolically. My ancestors are sincere and I won't bully you!"
Mu Nan sighed in his heart.
The figure remained motionless for a long time.
While the officials were still whispering, they made eye contact.
When you think that the protector of the country is just a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation, he has no skills.
Behind Mu Nan appeared a statue that looked exactly like him, had exactly the same body proportions, and was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"Dharma! Not the Yangshen!"
Zhi Miaoyin lost her composure for a moment and pinched the wine jue in her hand to change its shape: "Buddhist Kung Fu?"
Xie An calmly raised his spoon and poured himself a drink, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes:
"How can Yuanying Daxiu cultivate the Dharma? Could it be that my son-in-law has already reached the level of Mahayana cultivation at such a young age?"
And the ministers who have no cultivation base don't even know the whole story.
I just felt like a god had appeared, and I wanted to kneel down and worship on the spot.
However, due to the presence of Prince Sima Rui, he suddenly stopped his inner impulse.
In fact, the Dharma behind Mu Nan is the second Tao seed of Diansheng Xuan Dao: Tao Sheng.
Now, other than offering it as a sacrifice to fool the melon-eating crowd, there is no mystery.
You can neither fight against enemies nor increase your cultivation.
It also needs to be warmed and nourished from time to time.
When you reach the Mahayana stage and cultivate the Dharma-like world, the role of Taoism can be truly reflected.
"Still want to watch?"
Mu Nan smiled.
Since you are performing, just perform a complete set.
Half a set of services will probably leave people wanting more.
After thinking about it, the Faxiang behind him suddenly opened his eyes.
Thousands of rays of light!
