Meng Tian squinted his eyes as he looked at the young man. He looked like he was about to reach his prime, had no beard yet, had a slender figure and a leisurely posture. He was sitting cross-legged under a huge pine tree beside the Tianmen Terrace.
The mist that had not completely melted filled the air, and Meng Tian couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but he could vaguely feel that there was an inexplicable sense of freedom and ease in him.
The mountain breeze passed by the other party, and Meng Tian even had an illusion.
This person will ride the wind back in the next moment!
"General," the guards beside Meng Tian also saw the young man, and Meng Xi said softly, "That man is in white!"
Meng Tian nodded silently.
He had already seen clearly that the young man was wearing a dark coat with wide sleeves, that is, a robe, but the style was a bit weird, not like what the Qin people used. Its color is not black, but moon white.
Qin emphasized the five elements of yin and yang, and regarded the previous dynasty Zhou Dynasty as the virtue of fire, while Qin used the virtue of water to extinguish fire.
The virtue of water is black, so the Qin Dynasty valued black. From the first emperor down, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people of Qin regarded black as the most precious.
Each of the six kingdoms also had its own favorite clothing colors. Although the First Emperor stipulated the grade of clothing and the shape of the crown, he did not impose too many restrictions on the color of clothing. So when the beauties from the six countries stood together in the Xianyang Palace, they were so colorful that they were called rainbow robes.
However, there is one color that neither the people of Qin nor the Six Kingdoms can wear, and that is, moon white!
Because the white moon is the true color of twine!
Anyone who wears this color is either a slave or a savage with nothing!
Savages are not those furry, half-animal, half-human creatures, but landless, propertyless refugees who are not listed on the government’s household registration list. They have always been the target of government crackdowns. According to the law of Qin, it is not a sin to kill a barbarian!
Of course, people who live in the countryside are also called savages, but this is only relative to Chinese people, that is, residents who live in the city. In fact, no matter whether they are wild people in the countryside or Chinese people in the city, they all have the same name in Da Qin: Qianshou!
Those born in Guizhou and above are the sons of good families. Those below the head of Guizhou Province are untouchables!
The Great Qin was very hierarchical, and untouchables were not allowed to walk on the road, and they had to turn their backs when encountering someone with a noble title. If you accidentally offend the other party, killing him will not amount to more than a fine.
Therefore, the white moon has become a taboo color, known to the world.
Even if you are really an untouchable, unless you really can't afford the dye for dyeing cloth, you still have to wear a black robe, or even brown. Anyway, His Majesty the First Emperor did not stipulate that untouchables should not wear black.
This matter is related to life and must not be ignored.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad.
The real key is that the alchemist is not convinced!
Isn't this young man an alchemist?
only……
Meng Tian's eyes fell on the alchemy furnace in the middle of the Tianmen again.
If you are not an alchemist, how can you have an alchemy furnace?
There was a "dang" sound, another deep bell ringing, and a clear chirping sound. Meng Tian felt his heart was shocked!
Only then did he realize that there was not only one young man on the Tianmen platform.
There is a white crane standing quietly on the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace made in the Qin Dynasty is similar to a tripod. It has no lid, two ears and three legs. In the middle of the alchemy furnace, there is a protruding beast's mouth, which is used to draw fire.
At this moment, this huge white crane is standing on one foot above the beast's mouth, with its neck bent toward the sky, its shape is extremely graceful.
In addition to the white crane, there is also a huge white tiger and a white turtle lying under the alchemy furnace.
Needless to say, the white crane is also the mount of the orthodox immortal family. In the past, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty rode a crane. But the white tiger and the white turtle, a blood-eating beast and a scale-armored stupid insect, do not appear to be bloodthirsty or stupid at all, but look a bit holy.
"hiss……"
A gasp of cold air sounded in Meng Tian's ears, but it was a personal guard. The latter's mind was obviously completely taken over by this scene at this time, and he said absently: "White crane, white tiger, white turtle, the four auspicious attributes! If I get one of them and offer it to His Majesty the First Emperor..."
"Do you want to be torn apart by a car?" Meng Tian said coldly.
He knew what personal guards meant. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the trend of worshiping white people had been prevalent, calling it auspicious. Even the talented and strategic First Emperor was not exempt from this custom.
Before Xianyang City built a beast garden, the First Emperor had collected auspicious signs from all over the world and gathered them in Xianyang. Those who offered auspicious signs were granted the title of fake doctor for the alchemists to refine elixirs.
The doctor is the Duke of Qin, and the Duke of Qin is divided into twenty ranks, and the doctor is the fifth rank. The Duke of Qin was only awarded for military functions. Even the First Emperor was not willing to mess with his laws. Therefore, those who presented auspicious gifts were given the title of a fake doctor. They could be granted land, be exempted from labor, and receive rewards and salaries, but they had no official position.
However, this was already before last year. Since the winter of last year, the First Emperor had killed alchemists, and all the fake doctors had also been torn apart or beheaded. As for those auspicious signs, they had been turned into minced meat under the iron cavalry.
Meng Tian didn't believe in auspiciousness, but he also knew that these white beasts were indeed extremely rare.
Moreover, he was once rewarded by the First Emperor to see the auspiciousness at close range. In his opinion, the so-called auspiciousness, although it has white hair, is undoubtedly the same as an ordinary animal, and it is really unclear where the auspiciousness lies.
However, looking at the white crane, white tiger and white turtle today, Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
Maybe there is real auspiciousness in this world?
And why are three of the four auspicious things gathered here?
Could it be that it is all related to that young man?
Meng Tian's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a clear crane again, and his expression suddenly changed in the next second.
I saw the endless birds that had previously landed on the giant trees on both sides of the sky suddenly rose up, covering the sky in an instant!
Then, they formed a neat queue and flew towards the Tianmen!
Before Meng Tian could react what the birds wanted to do, the birds had already flown above the alchemy furnace.
Then, they all let go of the unknown plants in their mouths!
It seemed as if it rained instantly in the sky!
Countless exotic flowers and plants fell into the alchemy furnace one after another!
The birds that had already put their belongings into the alchemy furnace did not leave. Instead, they turned around and rushed into the valley bottom, landing in front of countless beasts.
Under the respectful worship of countless animals, the birds picked up the flowers and plants brought by the animals and flew to the alchemy furnace again.
Not only birds, but with the same fairy-like tiger roar, countless beasts rose up, lined up along the line of sky to the rooftop, holding branches and other objects that birds could not hold in their mouths, and then walked along. Take the beast's mouth at the foot of the crane and throw it into the alchemy furnace!
Meng Tian's whole body trembled.
When he saw birds carrying branches and animals carrying grass, Meng Tian was shocked, but he didn't take it seriously.
The world is so vast that strange people appear in large numbers. It is not surprising that there are people who can command a group of monkeys, and there are many people who can command a group of birds and even a group of beasts.
As a well-educated nobleman and the Nine Ministers of Internal History of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian's knowledge was certainly not comparable to that of those foolish village women.
However...
Precisely because he had read the book, Meng Tian was shocked and speechless at this moment!
Everything in front of me has proven that all the previous suspicions were a joke.
This is indeed recorded in ancient books. It is said that thousands of birds carry branches and all spirits carry grass!
If you add the auspicious appearance...
Meng Tian's eyes involuntarily fell on the young man.
Could it be that this is where the saint comes from?
