85. Talk about making this statement(1/2)
After being fussed by the Sixth Prince, the rain prayer ceremony naturally could not continue.
Originally, the four-legged snake died, but it was just unlucky. The Taoists made a smooth move and found one. As a result, the Sixth Prince was not shocking and he never stopped talking. Mencius threw out all the words of the monarch. Who dared to "whip the dragon" again?
Mr. He couldn't come to Taiwan, and looked at the Sixth Prince hatefully.
He really has no choice but to deal with the sixth prince, but the emperor is different! He will go and sue him when he returns to Beijing!
The sixth prince left in a daze. Mr. He walked away with his sleeves. A few Taoist priests looked at me and looked at you. He sighed and began to clean up the table and incense burner.
"Dear Taoist priests." Liu Dan's eyes rolled and shouted at the Taoist priests.
"The blessings of the infinite Heavenly Lord, I am polite."
The Taoists quickly stopped what they were doing and bowed.
Liu Dan asked tentatively: "I don't like the people from Yongzhou when I hear the accents of the Taoist priests?"
Several Taoist priests spoke in a man's voice. He laughed and said, "The general is right. We are from Taijing. We are Taoists from Qianyuan Temple. This time we are ordered to assist Mr. He in carrying out the rituals."
Meng Qi on the roof said with great interest: "I didn't expect General Liu to help us, and I was worried that I didn't know what their origins are!"
"Why don't you call him a wallet?" Mo Li looked sideways.
Meng Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't his wallet here?"
“…”
General Liu, who had no money bag, successfully restored his real name, but he himself did not know about this.
Liu Dan would come and go in a hurry every time he entered Beijing, and he didn't know anything about Taoist temples, so he said politely: "The true man Guiguan must be deeply trusted by His Majesty, and then he took the errands of the imperial tomb."
The Taoists smiled bitterly and waved their hands, "The general doesn't know anything. The Imperial Heavenly Prison made a mistake. We were favored by His Majesty, but we came to the imperial tomb... Alas."
They dare not continue to say what happened later.
Liu Dan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the Imperial Heaven Supervision?"
The Taoist priest looked around and lowered his voice, "It is said that on the night of Shangyuan, His Majesty saw Xingbo walking north and passing Ziweiyuan, which was an ominous sign."
Xingbo is the broom star.
Speaking of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mo Li was a little uncomfortable.
Meng Qi looked at Mo Li secretly and thought to himself that they were spending spring at the wild party... Oh no, it's time for the Lantern Festival.
Neither Mo Li nor Meng Qi saw the star. After all, this requires the location. Some places can be seen, but some places cannot. Stars can be big or small, so it will not be obvious after this life. If you happen to encounter the bad weather, dark clouds, and even the moon can’t see where you can see the stars.
"It's mysterious. Taijing has not been clear for several days. It happened that the full moon suddenly appeared that night. His Majesty was holding a banquet in the palace. He was very happy and ordered the banquet to go to the terrace to enjoy the moon. He also ordered people to write poems. At the hottest time, the star appeared and was seen by the ministers and the palace servants. This star was in the sky and could not be blocked or blocked, unless they pretended to be blind together."
The moli was silent.
This can be said to be very unlucky. Stars are not common, but not uncommon.
The mo carp grows in Qimao Mountain and often goes out at night. Some herbs that like yin need to be dug and transplanted at night, and sometimes they have to go to the hospital at night. They encounter it once or twice a year, but they have never been caught by cats.
The theory of broom star is purely nonsense.
However, many people believe in this. If the people of Zhushan County accidentally see the broom star, they will ask God for blessing. As for the gods, it depends on what they believe in, which also has something to do with where they are.
Those who are in the mountains worship the mountain god, and those who are by the water worship the river god.
There is no need to burn incense, just kneel down and kowtow a few times, prepare a brazier at the door of the house, and step over it to avoid bad luck.
Those who have money at home are unsure. Not only do they have to burn incense, but they also have to take out a sum of incense and oil to light the eternal lamp, so that monks can recite scriptures day and night to protect them. If they have to make trouble, they also have to invite monks and Taoists to come to their homes to do rituals.
It is basically not easy to see Xingbo. Everyone is sleeping at night and basically doesn’t go out when it’s dark.
There is a lantern festival among the folks on the Lantern Festival, and I don’t know how many people saw Xingbo.
The emperor happened to be drinking all the ministers, and they were all very complete. Even if everyone pretended to be blind, it was inevitable that they would whisper in their hearts when something happened. Lu Zhang was in a bad position, and there were many rumors of various kinds, but now there was another one more.
The Taoist priest pointed his finger at the top of his head and sighed, "... he took his anger on the Imperial Heaven Prison and said he did not report it in advance."
Liu Dan didn't think anything was there, but Meng Qi laughed: "This Qi Dynasty imperial prison is also unlucky. Stars are unpredictable. How to report it? The Tiangou Food Day can still be calculated."
Meng Qi was the national magistrate in the Chu Dynasty, and he was in charge of the Imperial Heaven Supervision at that time. He could not understand these mysterious things that were easy to be used by alchemists to make trouble.
Whether it is a star or a solar eclipse, it can be a symbol of "the king's incompetence".
It is necessary to issue an edict to punish oneself.
The so-called self-criticism edict means that before everyone can spread the word, it is the result of this mistake. Other mistakes are nonsense and nonsense.
General Liu Dan of the bandit knew that there was another reason for the emperor to get angry.
——The territories in Qiuling County, Pingzhou have moved.
This news is likely to be hidden, and ordinary people and even officials do not know that as soon as the Xingbo came out, the government and the country were in turmoil. I don’t know how to discuss this natural disaster that happened before the New Year.
Mo Li left the imperial tomb thoughtfully.
"Brother Meng, do you think the rumor of Qingwu's ancestor would use Xingbo?"
"Of course, it's not just him. King Ning, King Wu, King Qing in Jiangnan, and King Tianshu, the Holy Lotus Altar in the southwest will follow suit. It depends on whether Lu Zhang can suppress all the criticisms of the court and the public."
Meng Qi walked with his hands behind his back, with no one around, so he didn't need to restrain his breath and walked very freely.
Mo Li flipped out the map from her bag and said as she walked: "The location of Zangfengguan is not the same as the direction to Taijing. You have to take a detour. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Doctor doesn't want to go, right?" Meng Qi said with a smile.
Mo Li paused her hand and asked without raising her head, "How can I see it?"
"First I saw Taoist observers in the county town, and when I walked to the imperial tomb, I didn't forget to take a look. If I really planned to go to Zangfeng Temple, why bother with trouble on the road and just call me at the door?"
"...Yes, our target is still the Mausoleum of Emperor Li."
Mo Li put the map back into her bag, and suddenly paused her palm and found something.
It was a dark purple soft sword that could have been used as a belt, but now it was plated into a ball, like a deworming cigarette cake.
This sword belongs to Meng Qi. Except for the first time they met, they used it during the competition, they never took it out. When Meng Qi turned into a gerbil, the sword was put away by Mo Li along with her clothes.
Now Mo Li threw the soft sword back to Meng Qi.
"Why do you have to? Doctor, just keep it for me!" Meng Qi said seriously.
"You still want to become a gerbil?" Mo Li was puzzled.
After a person becomes a gerbil, he can throw his clothes at will, but if he loses his sword, he will lose his losses.
This soft sword is obviously not an ordinary thing, and may not be less valuable than the golden silk armor.
After hearing Mo Li's words, Meng Qi looked a little strange, as if he was amused and crying.
"...Didn't the doctor carefully look at my sword?"
"I won't move other people's things." Mo Li replied naturally.
Does the martial arts master have no curiosity about rare weapons? Meng Qi thought this was incredible, but then he thought about it again that Mo Li was not a martial arts man at all, and he was a doctor, and he might be more interested in gold and silver needles.
Meng Qi put away the soft sword in frustration. Mo Li looked at him and vaguely felt that there might be something on the sword.
The material of the sword?
What does the sword look like?
If it wasn't for showing off weapons, what would happen that someone would force the weapon to be stuffed to another person to collect? Was it when he pretended to be the national master of the previous dynasty?
Meng Qi can restore the appearance of the former national teacher. Mo Li just wears a hat and wears a cloak and holds this soft sword, and may be mistaken for Meng Qi. This idea of appearing in two places at the same time is inspired by Li Konger from Kongkongmen.
Mo Li shook her head and said solemnly: "Brother Meng, I don't know how to use swords. Although my martial arts are so high that I can use any weapon, I still reveal my feelings in front of experts. It is said that the Qingwu Ancestor has extremely high martial arts."
"ah?"
Meng Qi's eyes were confused.
The two looked at each other silently and quickly realized that they were thinking apart from each other.
"Doctor, are we so untold?"
"...What tacit understanding can gerbils and fish dig holes and swim in the water?"
"Aren't we Shan Ling?"
"Shangyun Mountain is in Taijing, Qimao Mountain is in Pingzhou. I'll do some miles apart." Mo Li acted as if to get the map, but Meng Qi quickly stopped the person, snatched his bag and ran away.
Mo Li is not in a hurry to chase him.
——Where can Meng Qi run to him with his wallet?
Mo Li threw away all the speculations about pretending to be a national master just now and continued to think about what tricks the sword would do.
The dark purple soft sword...
Did the teacher say that there is such a sword in the world?
Mo Li walked slowly. He remembered from the history books and sorted out all the fish intestines, Chunjun, Taia, and Wanren.
"Huh?" Mo Li suddenly felt his heart. He said that there was a master of sword-making in the Chen Dynasty who liked to cast swords of different shapes. He once followed the ancient methods to cast swords of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period. It was extremely long and very impractical.
A dagger that is too short to be called a sword is also a sword that is half a piece.
It is a wonderful idea, only satisfying the sword-casting master, and does not care whether the person who uses the sword is happy or not.
