Chapter 31: Seeing Big Brother Again
Li Yu didn't answer, but he ate another handful of tofu when he got off the car. Yingxue didn't dare to do anything unusual, for fear of attracting attention from others, so she could only bit her lip and let him be voluntarily...
The ceremony was still early, and the imperial guards surrounded the entire Zijin Mountain long ago. The Taoist priests of Xuanzhen Temple were allowed to pass only after checking the certificates. The security work was solid and powerful.
A group of royal members also took this opportunity to take a walk near the mountain prefecture. The cold air in Purple Mountain in winter comes with a unique sweetness, which makes people feel refreshed after inhaling into the nasal cavity.
Li Yu was walking slowly with her, thinking about finding a secluded place to touch her hands and hug her.
A shout came from my ears, "Gongguang's nephew, Gongguang's nephew, go slowly, go slowly."
"It's this little immortal again. If you don't play ethical jokes, you will die." Li Yu gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Yingxue, go back first"
"yes"
"See Uncle Wang. I haven't seen Uncle Wu for many days and is even more energetic and has black hair. Could it be that he is reborn?" Li Yu's face was cramped and he was not polite.
"That was because I saw my dear nephew having a long day and night, and I missed someone in my Li family, so I was so happy."
"Is it uncomfortable if you don't hurt me?" Then the fifth uncle said again
"Who asked you to mess with me first? I said, should we change the words?" Li Yu rubbed his forehead.
"What the nephew said is," Li Jingzhang scratched his left arm and said
"It's over, right? Your arm hasn't been healed yet?"
"Where is it good? I drank a few more sips last night, and today it became even more itchy." Li Jing's face was filled with sorrow in an instant.
"Well, you're lucky. We can get sulfur if we don't go to the Imperial Hospital." Li Yu slapped his head
"Hey? Are you saying it makes sense. You really have it. My nephew is indeed extremely intelligent."
"Don't go too far, otherwise even if I have a Bodhisattva's heart, I will cash in on the Vajra to subdue the demons and use thunder to control the evil demons and heretics..."
The two of them walked towards the inner courtyard of Taoist temple while talking and laughing.
Xuanzhen Temple has a great origin and was ruled by Wang Qixia, the 19th generation ancestor of the Shangqing School.
Liezu Li Bing once summoned Taoist Wang and asked, "What technique can bring peace to you?"
Qixia replied, "Governing the body and mind is the foundation of governing the family and country. Now Your Majesty is still hungry, angry, full and happy, so how can you be blessed with the people?" This is a very rude truth, but Li Bing, as the founding emperor, is very broad-minded and plans to punish him if he smiles it.
Empress Song was also present at that time. After hearing this, she thought that this Taoist priest was a rare pragmatic and innocent person. She wanted to give him gold and silk on the spot, but she did not accept it. Later, she practiced a Taoist temple for him on the Zijin Mountain, and added a gold seal and purple ribbon, and awarded him the title of Master Xuanbo.
Wang Qixia did not forget her roots when she was granted the title of queen. She often advised Li Bian, saying that she did not involve the government affairs, but hoped that he would make more plans for the people of the world and those who spoke a lot would be considered a master of the world.
Li Bing respects his frankness, and Wang Qixia does have some magical powers. The Xuanzhen Temple, which has gone by over and over, is like the Li family temple;
The Zijin Mountain is beautiful. People in the royal family often come to visit if they have something to do or not. They always have to sit in Xuanzhen Temple. After a long time, both sides know each other well.
When the two arrived at the door of the warehouse, the Taoist Qingyun, who was in charge of the warehouse, bowed his head when he saw them.
When Li Yu said his future intention, Qingyun smiled and said, "This thing is a common item in the temple. Please come later. I will go and pack a bag. In addition, sulfur is dry and hot, so it is probably not good for the body to use directly. In the temple, there is self-squeezing tea oil, which is cool and gentle in nature, so it is best to use it for blending."
"Thank you so much, Taoist priest." Li Jinglong scratched his arms desperately but was very happy. Itchyness actually made people feel more painful than pain. These days were tantamount to punishment. He had already made up his mind secretly. If it was not good in two days, only the dead pig would go to the Imperial Hospital to report it without fear of boiling water.
Qingyun turned around and another Taoist priest came. When he entered the door, he shouted, "Uncle Qingyun, I went down the mountain early yesterday morning. I will travel all the magnetic kiln factories in Jinling City for two days, but there is still no..."
"Speak softly, don't disturb the distinguished guests." Qingyun frowned and scolded.
"It's okay, it's okay," Li Yu smiled and said, "It's just that I'm curious. What else should I buy in the Xuanzhen Temple in the Magnetic Kiln Factory? Is it because there are all kinds of tribute bowls and utensils, tell me, just transfer some in the palace."
The magnetic kiln factory is a workshop that specializes in firing various porcelains, so Li Yu is surprised.
"Your Highness, you don't know anything about it. It's not that you lack tribute cups, but that several elders need to use saltpeter for alchemy. They originally had a collection in the warehouse. They used a lot these days, so I sent someone down the mountain to buy some to make up for the inventory. This item is very cheap. It's in the pharmacy shop in the city. But I sent someone to go around the circle the day before yesterday and found that there was no stock."
"But what does this have to do with the magnetic kiln factory?" Li Yu was puzzled.
"I am from Changnan (Jingdezhen). I have been making porcelain from home since I was a child. I know that saltpeter is a necessary material for preparing malachite green glaze. Although the amount is very small, it will not work if it is missing. Therefore, there must be stocks in the magnetic kiln factory, so I let them go and have a few more money to make them even. What if..." As he said that, he bowed and went to the warehouse.
After a while, I came out and had a small deer leather bag, an exquisite small porcelain bottle, and a small plate. Naturally, it was sulfur and tea oil.
When Li Jingcheng saw a little liquid in the dish, he asked, "Is this?"
"When I saw that the king was so thorny, I simply adjusted some first, and the king could try to apply it first."
"So hardworking" Li Jingchang was overjoyed...
He threw a piece of silver for him, put the deer-skin bag and tea oil bottle in his arms, and heard that there were bells and drums outside, so he urged everyone to take their place and leave in a hurry.
The Qingyun was also smiling while picking up silver.
The two of them increased their strength, and there was a three-way road in front of them. Walk straight to the right and turn the corner to the main hall. Suddenly, they heard the "rattle" metal impact. Li Yu ran away anxiously and didn't pay attention. Li Jing's face changed. He kept walking, but turned to the fork on the left. At the same time, he reached out to pull Li Yu, but he was slowing down and didn't pull it. He had to turn his steps and follow him.
Sure enough, a man came out of the fork in front of him, all in military uniform. The "rattle" sound just now was the metal armor leaves on his body colliding against each other. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, his face was full of heroic spirit, and a faint smell of blood came from his body.
Li Yu was caught off guard and almost hit him. Then he subconsciously turned his foot and turned his head to run. After turning half of his body, he stopped forcibly. He smiled bitterly on his face and bowed to the man to pay homage to the man, "Yu greets brother..."
It was Li Hongji, whom I met the day before yesterday.
The difference is that when he went to Chengxintang that day, he wore cowhide light armor, but today he was a scale armor for the battlefield.
Although he was under twenty years old, he was afraid that even the blood on his hands could not be as good as Li Bin. He was slaughtered by thousands of people in one battle. In Wu and Yue, his name could stop his children from crying at night, which was comparable to Ma Shu's plan in the previous dynasty.
No wonder Li Yu was afraid. When he met a flower in the deep palace like Li Hongji, who rolled out of the sea of blood, it was like an antelope meeting a lion, and a girl meeting a hooligan on the road, she instinctively avoided it.
On the contrary, although Li Jingqiong wanted to bypass him before, he was as calm as before. He looked at Li Hongji with a smile and didn't speak.
Li Hongji frowned and said, "Hongji pays homage to Uncle Wang."
"What uncle is it? How many years older than me? How many times have you said that you can just call me a sound scene?"
Li Hongji did not answer this, and twitched the corners of his mouth, which was considered a smile to reveal the topic.
The things about such young elders and younger generations are really embarrassing. When calling an uncle to someone five or six years younger than him, no matter who it is, it won’t feel that it is...
Then he said to Li Yu, "Sixth brother has always been good. Have you done something recently?"
"I'll thank you... I'll thank you for your blessings. Everything is fine. That is, I'll just read books, talk about myths and recite scriptures in Chengxin Hall. Brother, has the affairs of Jiangbei been stable?"
"Well, Wu Yue jumped into the clown. Last winter, I wanted to come and get a bargain. Now our army is heading straight to the city of Wu County!"
"Brother is indeed wise and powerful."
"You are also here to attend the fifth brother's monk ceremony?"
“It’s right”
"So, I'm going to take one step." After saying that, he didn't say goodbye and turned around and walked around.
The listener's "rattle" sound of the Jiaye leaves faded away, and Li Jingqiu put an arm on Li Yu's shoulder, "Help me, my legs were scared..."
"Don't you like to call someone a nephew, why didn't you say anything just now?" Li Yu looked down on him very much
"Nonsense, you need to find a soft pinch of persimmon!"
"Do you mean I am a soft persimmon?" Li Yu asked, pointing at his nose that was already pissed.
"That's right" Li Jingchang answered seriously.
"I'm really honest and not lie to you..."
"Everyone, each other, nephew, come and help me again..."
"I should have itched you just now..."
