Just as Changsheng was contemplating the spell, there were chaotic footsteps outside. Not long after, someone knocked on the door. Changsheng got up and opened the door. He saw the Yi Cheng and some local officials standing outside. In addition, there were many people carrying food. Box of maids.
Changsheng is a prince, and he is guaranteed to be worth more than ten thousand people. No matter where he goes, the highest local official will personally come out to greet him, and the standard of hospitality is second only to the emperor.
After kneeling down to see him, the local officials immediately reported to him the local political situation and people's livelihood. Although Changsheng was concerned about the sufferings of the people, he had more important things waiting for him to do at the moment. He could not be too distracted by the people's livelihood of the county, so he could only listen patiently. After a while, he gave a few casual compliments, and then drove away the local officials.
Since the food and wine were delivered, he could only keep them. There were dozens of hot and cold dishes, meat and vegetables, and he would definitely not be able to finish them all, so he invited everyone in his party to come over and eat together.
Both Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming were stung by poisonous bees before. Although they applied herbal medicine, the poison was not completely eliminated. At this time, their heads and faces became more and more swollen. Not to mention eating, they even had tongue-tied speech.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng could only take out the needle pack to bleed the two of them to remove the poison, and then ordered the postman to go and take medicine for them. Purpurea, Aesculus aesculata, and Lobelia can all cure bee venom.
While he was busy, Datou also came back. Like Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming, Datou's head and face were severely swollen, and he could hardly open his eyes.
Seeing Da Tou's embarrassment, Chang Sheng felt a lot of self-blame in his heart. He should not have sent Da Tou out at this time. Not to mention the hard work, the most important thing was that it was really shameful to go to see Taiping Taoist like this.
Even though Chang Sheng was proficient in the art of Qi Huang, it took a lot of effort to detoxify the three of them. It involved bloodletting, acupuncture, external application and oral administration. It was not until late in the evening that the three of them were able to detoxify and reduce swelling. At this time, there was a table The food is already cold.
Datou and the others didn't say anything, but Changsheng himself was very scared. Those who stung the three of them were small poisonous wasps, which already made the three of them so embarrassed. If they were stung by the giant bees, they would probably die immediately. Although everyone had achieved great victory in the previous battles, they had escaped from the gate of hell every time. Death was not far away from everyone on our side, and if you were not careful, you would lose your troops.
For these brothers who followed him through life and death, Chang Sheng wanted to say something, but he felt that being eloquent was superficial. After hesitation, he finally gave up and just used pure Yang spiritual energy to heat the food, and then invited everyone to eat at the same table.
Although Changsheng didn't say anything, Datou and others guessed what he was thinking. After three rounds of food, Datou took the lead in holding a cup and spoke, "My lord, please don't worry about us. Since we eat meat with you, we are not afraid to follow you." We were beaten, let alone we were not beaten. Come on, I respect you. Without your support, I would not have been able to become an official, let alone be as prosperous as I am today."
"I'm serious." Changsheng held a cup and drank.
"What you say makes sense," Yang Kai then said, "If you hadn't acted righteously back then, Master and I..."
Before Yang Kai could finish speaking, Chang Sheng waved his hand and interrupted him, "Don't say such unreasonable words."
"It's not external," Yang Kai shook his head and said, "It's what I'm saying from my heart. My master has been confused for many years, and I have been by my side. Do you know how I felt at that time? If you hadn't rescued me, my master would have been confused." Death is a life-long regret, how can we avenge past shame and enjoy grudges?"
After Yang Kai finished speaking, Yu Yi said, "Yes, the master is in trouble..."
Changsheng waved his hand again, "Stop it, no one is allowed to say it anymore, otherwise we will get into trouble. Recently, we have been going through hell one after another, which has made me have lingering fears and fears. Similar situations will definitely happen in the future. Please protect me." Be good to yourself.”
"Don't worry, come and have a drink." Datou raised his glass.
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp, then turned to their bowls and vegetables to eat.
"Hey, Your Majesty, should we go to Hanzhong to help Master Zhang?" Datou asked casually. .
"No need," Changsheng shook his head and said, "Zhenzhen Zhang should be able to win Hanzhong."
"Why are you so sure?" Datou asked.
Changsheng said, "That group of monsters came from Tiandang Mountain, and Tiandang Mountain is on the border of Hanzhong. They must be helpers invited by Yang Shouliang. The reason why they attacked Zhang Mo from here is undoubtedly to capture Zhang Mo and force Zhang Zhenren to retreat. "
"It makes sense," Datou nodded, "If Yang Shouliang is sure of victory, there is no need to resort to such a trick."
Changsheng said, "We don't need to go to Hanzhong. You all should have a good rest after dinner. Heavenly Master Jiahe, I have to go back to Longhu Mountain. Yu Yi will go with me. We can get back tonight."
When everyone nodded, Changsheng said again, "I was delayed for more than half a month recovering from my injuries. The Japanese pirates have already taken the opportunity. We can't delay any longer. We will leave for Jianghuai tomorrow."
Everyone nodded again.
There was always a Taoist robe in the bag of immortality. After the meal, he went to the inner room and changed into the Taoist robe.
While Changsheng was changing clothes, Datou and others had been waiting in the outer room. Seeing Changsheng coming out wearing a Taoist robe, Datou frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, is it appropriate for you to go back wearing a Taoist robe?"
Changsheng knew why Datou asked this question, because the emperor had previously issued an imperial edict, ordering him to return to secular life. If he went back to attend the funeral wearing Taoist robes at this time, it would be tantamount to defying the edict and bullying the emperor.
Yu Yi had been working in Dali Temple long before everyone joined the officialdom. He knew the virtues of those officials in the capital, and he also advised them, "Your Majesty, if this matter spreads, there will definitely be impeachment by officials."
"Your Majesty, the old Heavenly Master is the master of Xuanmen and the leader of the Three Mountains. There must be a lot of people going to express condolences after riding the crane. There are so many people and it is more appropriate for you to wear a dragon robe and go back." Datou advised again.
Chang Sheng nodded after pondering, then returned to the inner room, put on his python robe and cape.
When Changsheng was ready, Yu Yi immediately used Zhengyan Dazang to open the Xuanmen of the Void and sent him to the ancient town of Shangqing at the foot of the mountain.
Appearing in the ancient town of Qing Dynasty, I saw the familiar scenery again, as if it was a world away. Looking at the Tianshi Mansion on the west side, it was already wrapped in white cloth and the mourning hall was high.
Although it was already the time of the watch, the square outside the Tianshi Mansion was crowded with people. The old Tianshi was highly respected, and not only Taoists, but also lay believers and local officials came to express their condolences.
Yu Yi then appeared, looked around and said, "Your Majesty, I am a member of the Buddhist sect and it is inconvenient to go. You can go by yourself. I will wait for you nearby."
Changsheng nodded and walked westward.
At this time, the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain were busy welcoming and sending off anyone who came to the house to express their condolences. The Taoist priests would shout out their thanks.
Changsheng was wearing a prince's python robe and a green dragon cloak, which was very conspicuous. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he walked into the square. A group of local officials who came to express their condolences were the first to recognize him and hurriedly knelt down to pay tribute, " See the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Seeing the official suddenly kneel down, the believers and people waiting to express their condolences also reacted and knelt down to pay homage.
A large number of people knelt down in the square, and the remaining Taoist disciples also noticed his arrival. Wherever Changsheng went, Taoists bowed their heads one after another.
Changsheng was not wearing a Taoist robe, so he could not bow his head in return and could only nod.
Walking outside the house, Taoist Zhike came to greet him. He handed over the condolence cloth with both hands and shouted loudly, "Prince Yong has come to express his condolences."
Changsheng did not take the condolence cloth, but stretched out his hand to pull off the white linen from Taoist Zhike's waist and wrapped it around his own waist, then walked towards the Tianshi Mansion.
Those who carried the condolence cloth were guests, and those who tied the white linen were the host's family. Seeing that Changsheng regarded himself as the host's family, he knew that the guests were very happy, so he hurriedly cheered up and said, "My son-in-law, Li Changsheng, is returning to the mountain..."
