The bright moon is in the sky, and the universe is clear.
Inside the Prince Ruyang's Mansion.
Chang Chiman, who had just performed a magic trick of condensing water into ice for King Ruyang, was drinking wine, feeling relaxed and contented. He was handsome and radiant. Seeing King Ruyang playing with the little ice man, he couldn't help stroking his beard with one hand and slapping the table with the other while singing a Taoist tune.
King Ruyang was even more happy. He teased the miniature version of himself that Chang Chiman transformed into with water essence. He was so happy that he even started to pour wine into the villain. He was the best drinker in his life, and it was precisely because of this hobby that he was highly praised by celebrities and scholars at that time. Together with seven other people, he was given the title of one of the "Eight Immortals of Drinking". These eight people are He Zhizhang, the number one scholar, Li Jing, the king of Ruyang, Li Shizhi, the prime minister of the left, Cui Zongzhi, the handsome boy, Su Jin, the great scholar, Li Bai, the great poet, Zhang Xu, the calligrapher, and Jiao Sui, the orator. Among the "Eight Drunken Immortals", King Ruyang, who "started to rise to the sky after three fights", is the most addicted to alcohol, has the best drinking capacity, and is also the most heroic in drinking.
I usually drink freely and freely, but today I am so happy that I drink freely and freely. In his heart, he already regarded Chang Chiman as a close friend, so he was even more free and easy at the moment. He took off his brocade robe and jade belt, and lay facelessly on the table teasing the little man. Since you look like me, your character must also be like me. If you want to be like me, how can you not drink alcohol? He was currently asking Chang Chiman for advice on how to control water spirits, and at the same time teaching water spirits to drink according to those techniques.
The two of them had fun here until late at night, and the amount of wine they drank was no less than forty liters. Let alone wine, even if it was water, one person would not be able to withstand drinking more than ten liters continuously. I'm afraid my stomach will burst. But whether it is King Ruyang or Chang Chiman, they are just a convenience for an hour. Don't talk about whether they can withstand the power of alcohol. The ability to hold back urine is beyond the comparison of ordinary people!
The King of Ruyang is certainly not an ordinary person. He is of noble birth, versatile in both civil and military affairs, knowledgeable about the past and present, broad-minded and free-spirited, and ambitious. However, due to his background, he was destined to be unable to show off his talents and did not dare to use what he had learned, so he allowed himself to indulge his nature and determined to be a free prince.
In fact, this world is very strange. There are always people who complain that their background is not good. God has sent them into a poor and mediocre environment. Unlike other children, they are born with everything. They can open their mouths when they are hungry and stretch out their hands when they are cold. This poverty caused him to have to work hard for a living, and did nothing in his life. He continued to complain until he died, praying that he would be able to open his eyes in the next life so that he could be reborn into a rich family. But King Ruyang, "other people's child", also has his own troubles. He can do many things because of his surname Li, but he can't do many things because of his surname Li.
It's like, although I have ambitions in my belly, I have no choice but to have shackles on my body.
Yes, the identity of the prince of the Li family is both armor and shackles.
Because of his status as a prince, he can get wind and rain when he wants. Countless servants and soldiers serve him to protect him. He can enjoy the most extreme luxury. He can also make countless people prosperous and rich. He We can even invite those outside the world, such as the famous Ye Jingneng, such as Chang Chiman in front of us. Thinking about it this way, it feels like life has reached its peak.
But this King of Ruyang was destined to be a descendant of the clan with neat eyebrows, a clean body, good at riding and shooting, good at poetry and wine, and was exclaimed by the world as "the most beautiful face in Li Tang".
He is the eldest son of Ning Wang Li Xian, and Li Xian's original name is Li Chengqi. He is the eldest son of Ruizhong Li Dan and the eldest brother of the current emperor Li Longji. After his death, he was posthumously named "Emperor Rang" by Li Longji. His father was initially named the Prince of Yongping County by his grandfather Tang Gaozong Li Zhi as an imperial grandson. After Li Dan ascended the throne in the first year of civilization, six-year-old Li Chengqi was appointed as the crown prince. After Wu Zetian turned things around and ascended the throne, she was also conferred upon him as the grandson of the emperor. After the Shenlong coup, Zhongzong Li Xian was restored to power, and Li Chengqi was renamed King Cai. In order to survive, he began to refuse to accept his resignation. In the first year of Tang Long, he was named King Song by Jin. Unexpectedly, things would turn around, and Ruizhong was successfully restored with the support of Li Longji and Princess Taiping. Li Dan would establish Chu Er to become the official heir, while Xuanzong had the power to pacify Wei Shi, and his intentions were uncertain. In order to survive, Li Chengqi, who completely inherited Li Dan's bloodline, "cryed and resigned day after day" on the grounds that "in times of peace, the direct descendants will be the first, and in times of national calamity, they will be credited." In addition, at that time, "the kings and ministers also said that the king of Chu had the country." "Great achievements, jointly occupy the reserve position", so his father Ruizong finally decided to make Chu King Li Longji the crown prince.
Later, after Ruizhong was forced to abdicate by his third son, Li Longji, who finally took power, became Sikong. In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Li Chengqi changed his name to Li Xian and was named King Ning. All the officials in the court said that Li Xianjin was afraid of humility, did not interfere with the government's affairs, and did not make rash friendships. Because of this, the former emperor's grandson, the crown prince, was always treated with courtesy by his third brother Xuanzong.
Li Longji is a good younger brother and a good older brother. When he first became emperor, he was very outstanding. Because the brothers had lived under the white terror of their grandmother since they were young, they supported each other and grew up together. The brotherhood was deeper than that of other imperial brothers. When he turned over, he still did not forget his original intention. Two palace attics were specially built in the palace. From time to time, brothers and sisters would be invited to the palace to sit with them on the same couch during the day, or they would be lucky enough to write poems and give them gold and silk. These princes went to the side gate every day, and when they returned, they enjoyed drinking, hitting balls, fighting cocks, and galloping eagles and dogs. In the evening, the brothers even enjoyed singing and dancing, playing the piano and singing, partying all night long, and fell asleep under the quilt as if they were children.
As the eldest son of Li Xian, Li Jing grew up in such an environment. The brothers, friends and brothers of his fathers allowed him to grow up vigorously. Thanks to this, he could often go in and out of the palace. Li Longji I also like his nephew who is getting more and more beautiful as he grows older.
But slowly, as he grew older, Li Jing began to become sensible. As a precocious man, he heard rumors that his father was "cautious and fond of sounds." He didn't understand why his father, who was courageous, knowledgeable and decisive, could I am willing to live with the title of "Feng Liu Yun". I can obviously be the "Gong of Zhou", but why do I look like the "Marquis of Haihun"? Later, he couldn't help but ask his father for advice. Because he was the eldest son, Li Chengqi was particularly partial to him. Looking at his son who was already taller and stronger than him, he smiled happily. He held his son's hand and did not answer directly. The son's question just told him the story of his grandfather. After the father and son chatted all night, Li Jing realized that his father tried hard to show a posture of staying away from the temple and being sensual, just to prevent his third uncle, the emperor, from being deceived by slander and becoming suspicious of his eldest brother.
After all, Li Xian also wants to keep his family alive!
That night, Li Ding was enlightened, and it became clear to him that the emperor's third uncle had some scruples about their eldest grandson. Under the political skills of both kindness and power, his father's behavior was undoubtedly the most appropriate. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Not to mention the sensitive status of his eldest son, his father did not want to become the second Li Jiancheng.
Since then, Li Jing has inherited his father's legacy. He put his ideal of "making great achievements and making lasting achievements" into wine, drinking one glass at a time. He was unrestrained on the outside, cautious and restrained on the inside, read books secretly, and practiced kung fu secretly. At a young age, he had a second-level strength. He did not want to be a general or a prime minister. He only wanted to be wise and protect himself.
After all, that person is Li Longji. Although their father and son are already among the best, the third uncle is the real Dragon Emperor. One is a dragon and the other is a real dragon. They know they can't fight!
Since he could not and did not dare to have political ambitions, Li Jing could only focus on banquets and entertainments like his father and uncles, and wander outside the secular power. Throughout his life, he could only serve as the emperor's third uncle's attendant at banquets and outings!
Chang Chiman and King Ruyang couldn't stop drinking. During the dinner, Chang Chiman showed some small magic tricks such as "breaking a mirror and reuniting it, covering the water to collect it". King Ruyang was also in high spirits, and the two of them were no longer pushing cups and changing cups. Now, it’s directly turned into drinking from a pot!
After several rounds, King Ruyang felt that it was not enough. Because of his ambition since he was a child, he also practiced some secular sect techniques. Although he did not practice the immortal qi of the Tianjia like Chang Chiman, it was also the top inner qi of the secular sect. In order to continue his bloodline, his father, King Ning Li Chengqi, specially sent his close friends to die, and he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of wealth to collect martial arts, mental skills, magic weapons, sharp weapons, and elixirs all over the world. He didn't dare to raise private soldiers, and he didn't dare to hide his armor. All he could do was to strengthen the body of his descendants and give them more capital to survive. His life could not be entirely protected by others, he had to have his own trump card.
King Ruyang understood his father's difficulties and choices, and he secretly studied and practiced hard without a teacher. He relied on his natural understanding and studied the secret records of the exercises. It really corresponds to the sentence: "Spiritual people are born quickly." King Ruyang, who was groping in the dark, was not weaker than those of the direct descendants of the sect at such a young age. He was definitely a leader of his age. , although there is no chance to actually fight, but after all, the background of one's own realm is there, and it should not be underestimated.
If it weren't for the inner martial arts, he wouldn't have been drunk every day. Those buckets of wine were drunk in full view of everyone. If it weren't for the protection of the body, those wines would have soaked his body. Rotten. Therefore, even though they are both among the "Eight Immortals of Drinking", he, Li Jing, ranks first in both drinking and kung fu. You can't fight, and you can't even drink. I have never been able to overwhelm others, and no one has ever been able to overwhelm me.
But today, Li Jing finally met his opponent. Although the Taoist was only two feet tall, he was really powerful. The annoying thing is that he is very good at magic, but he seems to be even better at drinking. Although his stomach was bulging from drinking, he still looked calm and calm. The proud King Ruyang was not convinced. He said to Chang Chiman under the table:
"This is not enough for drinking! Your honorable master once said that Master Chang Xian is good at drinking. However, drinking like this does not show the true qualities of a man. I wonder if Master Chang Xian can drink from a large vessel?"
Chang Chiman's immortal family skills have been revealed a lot, but his original magical power has not yet been revealed. King Ruyang didn't know his true identity and actually provoked him with wine. He was really dozing off and someone handed him a pillow. Chang Chiman didn't hide it anymore. It’s time to show your true abilities!
I saw him smile slightly and said unhurriedly:
"The king has your order. Don't dare to disobey it. Please move it to a large vessel, drink it with the king, and then stop it. How happy it is!"
When King Ruyang heard this, he thought, "Oh, such a crazy Taoist priest, he dared to challenge me." He immediately waved his hand and shouted to the people waiting outside:
"Come here, bring two larger bowls and bring up two more tanks of century-old wine!"
Those attendants are used to their prince's drinking, but today's banquet seems to be particularly good at drinking. In the middle of the night, more than 20 buckets of pure wine have disappeared, and now they have to carry two more tanks. Darling, what on earth is this? Get a drink or take a shower. Although they were suspicious in their hearts, they did not dare to be careless in their hands. They quickly replaced the master with a big green bowl, brought up two bottles of century-old wine and put them at the door. Because of the king's order, they did not dare to enter the inner room and put down the wine bottles. Quietly retreated again.
King Ruyang waited for his men to retreat and walked to the door himself. He opened the hall door and looked at the two vats of fine wine. The waist-high vats were filled with jade liquid and fine wine, which looked even more intoxicating under the ripples of the moonlight. He also wanted to show off his skills, so he tied his gown around his waist, squatted into a horse stance, grabbed the edge of the vat with one hand, and dragged the bottom of the vat with the other. With a little force, he lifted up the vat of wine, took a breath, and stepped forward. He walked toward the hall, his steps steady, neither hurried nor slow, until he slowly lowered the wine vat. The wine in the vat only rippled slightly, but not a drop was spilled.
Chang Chiman smiled knowingly and praised:
"Your Majesty is so handsome in Kung Fu! Let's look at the poor methods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't get up. He pointed at another wine vat and silently recited the magic formula. The wine vat, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, rose into the air and flew toward the hall in a swirling motion. When it landed, Not even a drop was spilled!
Chang Chiman looked at King Ruyang with a smile. King Ruyang was a little discouraged, shook his head and said:
"That's all. After all, ordinary skills are no match for the magic of the immortal family! There is such a difference between heaven and earth! Master Chang Xian, please!"
At that moment, the two of them were not polite. Each of them picked up a bowl and just drank from it. The two were determined to compete for wine, but they refused to give in to each other, and both drank quickly and quickly. Just like that, during a cup of tea, less than half of the wine in the vat was drunk.
After all, King Ruyang was a mortal, and after drinking, he slowly began to die. He simply stopped drinking, sat back on the bed, and watched Chang holding a large bowl full of wine. The short, fat Taoist stood only slightly lower than the vat. He had to stand on tiptoes every time he scooped out wine. When he got to the back, he even moved a small stool to stand on. I was really worried that he would fall into the vat. King Ruyang saw that the Taoist was not drunk at all after drinking so much, so he thought, I want to see how much you can drink. So he clapped and cheered, and advised Chang Zhi to continue drinking one bowl after another. There is a lot of wine in my palace, and I must drink him down today.
But when Yan saw that half of the wine was in the vat, Chang Chiman couldn't reach it even on the stool due to his limited stature, so he simply cast a spell. He stood next to the vat and took a sip with his mouth. The wine in the vat was like a dragon sucking water. After sucking it into the Taoist's mouth, after a while, the wine in the jar bottomed out, but the Taoist remained undisturbed, and his charm only became higher and higher.
The King of Ruyang invited him to drink from his vat again, and the Taoist was obedient and continued to suck the wine into his stomach. The wine in the vat became less and less, but the Taoist's stomach did not rise and fall at all. Finally, Chang Chiman drank up all the wine in the two jars. King Ruyang tried to ask:
"Immortal Master has a huge amount, I wonder if I can still drink it?"
Chang Chiman was completely drunk by the wine, and the attributes of his true body were slowly revealed. He felt that he had not drunk enough, so he said he could still drink. The king of Ruyang was shocked. He also ordered people to pour dozens of stones into a large vat and let him drink from it.
After a long time, Chang Chiman finally stopped swallowing and screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at King Ruyang and said:
"I'm drunk after just one drink!"
When King Ruyang heard that Chang Chiman said that he could only drink one more bowl in the end, and he would be really drunk if he drank more, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although the man said he couldn't drink anymore, he seemed far from being drunk. If he kept drinking like this, he would probably drink himself to death. He was interested in seeing the result, so he looked at the man and asked:
"Master Guanxian's ability is not enough, please give me more information. Master Immortal, please don't be restrained, I am so eye-opening today!"
Chang Chiman tried hard to maintain his final concentration and answered King Ruyang's question:
"The king doesn't know that his strength is limited, so why should he be strong?"
How could King Ruyang let him go so easily? Aren't you very crazy just now? He has been losing all night. Now he has finally forced the opponent to this point. How can he give up?
"I see that the Immortal Master is calm and composed, and he is still in his true self. I think he will not get drunk even if he drinks a thousand cups! Besides, celebrities and high-ranking scholars occasionally get drunk, which does not damage their demeanor! I am drunk for a long time, and there is no problem!"
After saying that, he walked up to Chang Chiman himself, scooped out a bowl of wine and handed it over. He looked at Chang Chiman and said:
"Immortal master Mo Fei doesn't think that the wine in my palace is more than this bowl!"
Chang Chiman looked at King Ruyang's expression and knew that he had lost his composure tonight, failed to control his nature, and had already gotten into trouble. He already knew that he had drunk too much tonight, and he would be drunk if he drank any more. If he was drunk, he would definitely show up. , it will be difficult to deal with it then! But in the current situation, it is even more difficult not to drink. It would be disrespectful not to drink the wine that the prince personally poured over. This is really a difficult situation.
He had no choice but to take the bowl of wine, adjust his attitude, raised his head and looked at King Ruyang, and said calmly:
"The prince gave me wine, how dare I refuse to drink it? It's just that I have caused trouble today and failed to keep my nature. After drinking this bowl, someone will definitely show his true colors. I hope that the prince will be more open-minded and don't panic too much tonight." Don’t make any publicity about any phenomena that occur, remember it!”
Seeing what he said so sincerely and solemnly, King Ruyang felt a little regretful for his extremeness, but in the end, his anger was more important, so he calmed down and promised for a while that he would not panic or make any noise no matter what he saw. Chang Chi was satisfied with the prince's reply and made another magic formula in his hand. He recalled the little ice man on the Ruyang King's desk into his hand. As soon as the magic formula was released, the little ice man transformed into a transparent water spirit and returned to his hands. Between his brows. After doing this, he bowed to King Ruyang, apologized, raised his head, drank the bowl of wine with a "gudugu", and then, with a "gudong" sound, he fell to the ground.
King Ruyang hurried forward and prepared to help him up, but he couldn't help him. Even if he used his second-level strength, Chang Chiman was still lying firmly on the ground, unwavering.
King Ruyang was still wondering when he suddenly saw water mist steaming around Chang Chiman. The prince was startled when he heard a bang and Chang Chiman on the ground turned into a wine vat. The wine vat is dark in color, about two feet high, with a bulging belly. It looks honest and cute. The word "Piyong" is engraved on the wine vat. The aroma of wine overflowed in the urn, which was already filled with hundreds of years of aging.
King Ruyang was really frightened by this change. He first flew back and then jumped onto the beam, hiding behind the beam. His eyes flashed, his right hand was clasped around his waist, and he was on guard, dead. Staring hard at the wine vat underneath. Wang Ruyang was originally a very good person. He was able to hold back his composure when he saw such a change. He was not frightened to death and suppressed the urge to call someone.
King Ruyang is truly amazing. If ordinary people saw such a scene, they would be frightened to death, or frightened to death. For him to react like this, he is truly one of the best among people.
King Ruyang just stared blankly for a long time, and the wine vat on the ground remained motionless. King Ruyang couldn't help but wonder, maybe Chang Chiman was not a human being, and the wine vat in front of him was the real body. I just don’t know why he can cultivate into a human form. His magical methods are really unpredictable! No wonder he specifically told me not to panic no matter what I saw.
As for the word "Piyong" on the wine jar, King Ruyang couldn't help but guess that it was the wine jar from "Tai Xuefu". No wonder he knew so much knowledge that he didn't know!
Fun and interesting!
Always hold it full, always hold it full, but don’t know how to hold it full, and you don’t always control the gods!
