Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 504: Feast
Two days later, the Annan envoy arrived as scheduled and came to Luzhou City,
The big-bellied King of Shu waited outside the city with senior officials in the city and monks from Yongling Temple to welcome the envoy into the city.
The people of Luzhou lined the streets to welcome them. The good men and women who devoutly worshiped Buddha have already snapped up the flowers in the city and sprinkled petals of various colors on the streets before the mission.
Flowers are fragrant, gongs and drums roar, firecrackers are blaring, colorful flags are fluttering, and the crowd is full of people.
Unfortunately, the people in the city did not see the high-profile auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspiciousness – the convoy’s team covered the auspicious auspicious iron cage with a heavy curtain, added various decorations, and dressed up as a float.
Fortunately, the monk Annan who recites the scriptures on both sides of the float is still worth the fare,
These Annan monks are skinny and skinny, with a layer of gold paint on their skin, and they look just like the Arhats in the temple, quite magical.
Among the people in the city, the Annan mission entered Yongling Temple,
It was night, and the chanting of Buddhist scriptures in the temple continued all night,
Outside the walls of the temple courtyard, swords, lights, swords and shadows, gold and iron interlaced, the sound of fighting suddenly started and then suddenly subsided.
In the early morning of the next day, apart from the few traces of blood left on the bluestone slab, the few unknown dead soldiers who attacked Yongling Temple at night have been completely wiped away from the world.
—————————
Shu Palace, dinner.
The king of Shu was very entertaining, and there were many maiko ladies in the house, who were wearing silk dresses, playing the qin, ser and pipa, and dancing in the hall.
The two rows of guests sat on both sides of the banquet, staggered and chatted happily,
In addition to the dignitaries in Luzhou, the most eye-catching are the two reticent Annan monks, one old and one young, silently tasting vegetarian dishes with chopsticks, and occasionally chatting with the eminent monks of Yongling Temple on both sides. sentence.
The food and drinks have changed one after another, but the owner of this banquet, the most honorable king of Shu in Luzhou City, has not yet appeared,
Only the chief butler of the Shu Palace laughed with him, explaining to the guests that the prince had drunk too much at noon and is still sobering up.
The king of Shu had a noble status, and the guests did not dare to complain and continued the banquet.
“Buzz-“
Although the courtyard was surrounded by thin roller blinds and mosquito repellent incense was lit,
But there are still mosquitoes and flies looking for the candlelight, following the gaps of the roller blinds, into the hall, hovering in the air, making annoying noises.
“Noisy.”
A guest frowned slightly, picked up the mung bean in the bowl, clasped it at his fingertips and popped it out, hitting a fly in the air with precision.
Crack, crack, crack,
The mung beans were flying horizontally, and when the bowl was empty, the mosquitoes and flies hovering in the air also disappeared.
“Lian Gong is a good means!”
All four guests laughed and praised,
The military counselor of Shu Wangfu, known as “Lian Gong”, smiled and picked up the white cloth, wiped the water droplets on his fingers, and said modestly: “This is just a trick,
There is a friend below who can hold the hind legs of flies and put them in the palm of his hand with just two fingers. A few breaths of time can clear the sky of flies,
When I spread my palms again, the mosquitoes and flies were still alive, but the wings were shattered, and with a backhand shake, they all fell to the ground. “
While speaking, a gust of night wind blew and lifted one side of the silk curtain, allowing several moths and insects to fly in.
The bowl in front of Military Counsellor Lu had no green beans. He was about to order the servants to bring a new bowl when he heard a scholar in the opposite seat laughing loudly: “If you don’t work hard, Lian Gong has a skill. It can kill insects and moths.”
If Wang Bu, a wealthy businessman from Lvzhou, was here, he would surely recognize this young man as the scholar who was chasing Longbeard, but was taken first by the Brahma monk Qiyu.
The scholar’s surname is Song, and his name is light. His current identity is a guest minister of a noble family in Luzhou.
I saw him borrow a handkerchief and silk scarf from the dancer beside him, put it in his hand and use the sword to point,
The silk scarf automatically folded into a white crane without wind in an instant. It stood in his palm and lowered his head to peck at the feathers on his body. It was lively and lifelike.
“Go.”
Song Shu chuckled lightly, rubbed his palm lightly, and the silky white crane immediately fluttered its wings and flew towards the moth,
Open the bird’s beak and swallow the moth in one bite with precision and speed.
The crane is light, almost transparent under the candlelight,
All the guests can clearly see the appearance of moths and worms trapped in the belly of the white crane.
“Good!”
The four guests cheered,
The scholar smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, and the white crane immediately threw himself at the candle, turning it into ashes along with the moths in his belly.
The dancer who was sitting next to the scholar poured wine, but she refused. She hugged Song Shuqing’s arm and acted coquettishly, asking him to pay a silk scarf.
The scholar had no choice but to repeatedly beg for mercy, so he was so embarrassed that it made everyone laugh.
The king of Shu himself liked Qimen alchemy, and he kept a lot of guest ministers who knew strange books.
As the saying goes, what’s good for the top must be the best for the bottom. The dignitaries in Luzhou City are not as resistant and averse to alchemists and warlocks as other cities.
“Huh.”
An elderly guest in the palace of the King of Shu shook his head. How could outsiders get the limelight at the banquet in the palace? He immediately smiled and said, “There is also a technique below, please take a look at it.”
He squinted at the disciple beside him, who immediately understood and took off a huge yellowed bamboo tube from his waist,
After making a guilty plea, he unscrewed the lid of the bamboo tube and pressed one end of the bamboo tube to the ground.
The elderly guest Qing Shi Shiran took out a bamboo flute from his arms, took a deep breath, and began to blow slowly.
The xiao sound is ethereal and distant, full and quiet, but what is more striking is the yellowed bamboo tube.
I saw one spider after another, crawling out of the bamboo tube,
These spiders are about the size of a fist, they are black, covered with needle-like brown hair, and their fangs are sharp and long and narrow.
The timid guests at the banquet exclaimed, and the dancers and maids turned pale and pale with fright.
The old guest Qing smiled slightly and continued to play the bamboo flute.
Suddenly, more than a dozen tarantulas seemed to have heard some instructions, striding their sturdy and prickly feet ~IndoMTL.com~ like soldiers, neatly arranged in three rows,
And facing Keqing, lift up the front foot, shake the body from side to side,
Just like the soldiers on the martial arts field, they perform various actions according to the instructions.
The guests have only heard that there are snake dancers in Tianzhu, but they have not heard that they can make spiders dance with the sound,
“Good life, good work.”
Bai Yongyan, sitting not far from the old man of the dancing spider, chewed the crab claws and clapped his hands vigorously, “It’s a pity that it’s not a suona, or else I can send the spider family away with joy. .”
The old man of the dancing spider looked a little ugly when he heard the words,
He and Bai Yongyan are both guest ministers in the palace of the King of Shu. As the saying goes, their peers are enemies, and everyone is a alchemist. It is inevitable that they will compete with each other on weekdays.
“Oh?”
The old man put down the bamboo flute and let all the tarantulas return to the bamboo tube. He looked at Bai Yongyan and said indifferently, “I don’t know what new thaumaturgy brother Bai has. Would you like to share it with you?”
