The five of them sat down on the pavilion beside the lotus pond in the backyard. The maids came carrying food trays and a table of refreshments was immediately placed.
The steward then asked what kind of banquet they wanted.
Yamazaki pushed and asked Gu Ling'er to take out their vegetarian food from the star chessboard and put it on the table.
Gu Ling'er smiled and took out portions of whole radishes and fruits, which were so shabby that Scorpio despised them.
Yamazaki offered a white radish to Miss Gudiao and asked her to try it.
Pass it deliberately in front of her nose to let her smell it.
Sure enough, Miss Gudiao sniffed her nose and picked it up to nibble without caring about the image of a lady.
The radish is crisp and delicious, and the juice is cold and sweet.
No, it is a kind of deserted night and moon, but with the shining of stars.
Scorpio looked at Miss Gu Diao's face and saw that she was tasting something delicious. Curiously, she also took a radish and ate it.
"You grow radishes as medicinal herbs? Do you use them as elixirs?"
"It's this magic weapon. Ling'er uses it to undertake the practice of moonlight and starlight, and the food inside is also stained with some spiritual energy."
"Nonsense, how many years of accumulation can it seep into the ingredients?"
"They say it's a magic weapon. Can't you just unfold it?"
"Uh, formation magic weapon? Don't tell me it's the Zhoutian Star Formation?"
"Guessed it right."
Scorpio curled his lips, "Hahaha, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. Can you stop bragging?"
Yamazaki shook his head in a funny way, "Oh, with your wisdom, I really can't say anything."
Gu Ling'er couldn't help but laugh and said: "Open the most basic formation, it's just big enough."
"Uh..." Scorpio was speechless.
Miss Gu Diao smacked her lips, "You should go back to your nest and sleep."
Everyone smiled, but Scorpio couldn't laugh, so he simply took the table full of food to vent his anger. Now he doesn't mind it anymore and just hunkers down at his desk to chew.
These foods contain the spiritual energy of the moonlight and starlight, which is equivalent to small pills, which just adds to the practice.
As long as the moonlight starlight is not strong, it is good for all races, nourishing the body and meridians.
A certain amount can purify the body, remove impurities and toxins, and calm the mind.
There are so many benefits, if you don’t eat it, you won’t eat it for free.
…
A table of dishes was quickly swept away. Yamazaki asked Gu Ling'er to set up another table. When it was cleared again, he didn't take any more.
Yamazaki explained that it wasn’t that he didn’t have it, and it wasn’t that he was stingy and didn’t want to give it, it was just too much and not enough.
If it cannot be digested in time, the waste will be small, accumulate in the stomach, and become strong, which can also burn the body.
If Miss Gudiao and Scorpio were not monsters, Scorpio would be bigger and there would be no need to bring out these two dishes.
For example, Shanqi, Gu Ling'er, and Yang Chuan only had three meals a day, one bowl of rice and two dishes for each person.
…
Scorpio and Miss Gudiao understood, so they didn't say anything.
While drinking tea after dinner, Yamazaki asked Miss Scorpio and Gu Diao about the Nanjing Pass. After careful questioning, he probably got it all figured out.
It was indeed the intention of the great demons to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Zhu Ya and Lu Buwei also instigated it to Miss Gu Diao.
And Scorpio came to stay here for a long time because Lu Buwei, a businessman, was so shameless that he sent people to the cave to practice.
Scorpio didn't like them, so he went out for a walk. Seeing that Miss Gu Diao was being served by someone and the food was delicious, he didn't leave.
In terms of face, if you measure it, he must have a thick face as a Scorpio.
…
Yamazaki thought that Zhu Ya was probably angry and hated Zhou Dynasty, and it became more and more intense, and he wanted to destroy Zhou Dynasty.
She hated her family for not wanting her, she hated the Zhou royal family for deposing her husband so that she could not become a queen, and she hated Yamazaki for instigating all this.
She doesn't look for the reasons within herself, blames others unreasonably, and puts everything on others.
I already have this mentality, but it’s just not that powerful.
Now, Lu Buwei should be the one causing the trouble.
Lu Buwei had no common language with her, so he could only follow her words.
While trying to please her, he naturally said a lot of bad things about them, and even Da Zhou became the object of Zhu Ya's hatred.
You don’t need to do any calculations to know now that Zhu Ya, who instigated the great demons to attack Da Zhou, was the poisonous arrow that caused Da Zhou’s demise, and Lu Buwei fed her the poison.
He should be the one who turned Zhu Ya into an arrow.
Of course, this is not entirely his cause and effect. There are problems with the laws of the King of Zhou and the Great Zhou, and the changes in the Great Zhou are also God's will.
But he couldn't bear to see Zhu Ya wandering around, so he took Zhu Ya with him all the way, and the cause and effect was profound.
So Lu Buwei was involved, which also affected the Fan family.
Lu Buwei also influenced Da Qin, and Fan Zhen might influence Da Chu in the future.
This cause and effect is really like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
But it's hard to say in terms of merit. The demise of the Great Zhou is only a matter of days. If they can really destroy the Great Zhou, they will have a lot of merit.
As for whether there are more causes and effects or more merits, it is really difficult to judge.
You don't need to do divination to know, but you can't calculate it.
…
Yamazaki thought about it and said, "Okay, I have no objection to attacking Dazhou."
"I didn't intend to ask your opinion." Scorpio curled his lips and said, "The Great Zhou now seems to have strong troops and powerful forces, and its influence has penetrated into Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beiju Luzhou. But because of this, the Yuan Shen masters in the Great Zhou capital are more powerful than they have been in a century. It’s half missing from before.”
Yamazaki was amused, "Ha, you did a good job in intelligence work."
Scorpio continued, "Emperor Ziwei no longer needs to be grounded, but the soldiers and horses of his Ziwei Imperial Palace are no longer on the mountain, so even if they want to come down to save the situation, it will take a long time to arrive."
Miss Gu Diao nodded and said: "So, as long as we secretly recruit people and then attack quickly and unexpectedly, we can definitely break through the capital city of Great Zhou."
Yamazaki pondered, "Isn't this what you thought?"
Miss Gu Diao said bluntly, "Well, it was Zhu Ya who said it. She probably listened to what her companion said."
"To be honest, I don't like that person very much. He always has a smile on his face, but he feels very dark. How do you say that?"
Miss Gudiao was confused, and Scorpio helped remind her, "Hypocrisy."
"Yes, that's it." Miss Gu Diao nodded, "Like you, the mountain man, although you have been hiding something from us, you have no other intentions, you just don't want people to know."
Scorpio added insult to injury, "What he said is unreasonable, and he will have to drink wine as a penalty."
Yamazaki pretended to be stupid, "I didn't hear what you said at all."
Miss Gudiao smiled and said: "That's it. Say what you want, don't be frivolous."
Yamazaki cupped his hands and said sternly: "Then I will tell you the truth. I am afraid that Dazhou will die at the hands of the demon clan in order to repay the cause and effect of driving the demon clan away from Buzhou Mountain."
"There's just one thing. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed."
Scorpio said angrily: "What? Don't be alarmist!"
Yamazaki said solemnly: "You all have grudges against Dazhou, but you can't talk about grudges against the contemporary people of Dazhou. Even if you have grudges against their ancestors, it's just one family."
"And they are just following orders. The culprit is the Ji family of Dazhou."
Scorpio frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Yamazaki said solemnly: "What I mean is that there are too many people in Dazhou. If someone goes on a killing spree, everyone who participates in the war will have endless karma and wait for retribution."
"This is not a question of whether we are afraid or not. Many people will come to conquer us, especially Buddhism, who will not let us go."
"Although Buddhism won't kill us, it will let us be mounts. This is no joke. Which of you wants to be mounts?"
"So, it's okay to fight, but we must be careful about our actions and not kill too many people. Only then can we gain the merit of destroying the Zhou Dynasty and reduce the cause and effect."
"That way we can continue to have fun afterwards."
"It makes sense." Miss Gudiao nodded, "I just hate Dazhou. I really don't have any resentment towards the people of Dazhou. After all, they do what they are told."
Yamazaki stroked his beard with satisfaction, "That's good."
