Chapter 42: The respective predestined law
Refining the horizontal bones is the most difficult stage for an animal to become a demon, similar to the stage when humans cultivate immortality and enter the Tao.
Now, with the help of Xinghui, the black-maned horse can easily overcome this hurdle.
Frankly speaking, Lu Li was a little envious of this guy. He had gone from a weak horse with weak legs even on the battlefield, to a divine horse that could compete with third-rate generals, and then to a monster that he had successfully transformed into.
There were no ups and downs in the whole process. I ate, drank, and watched programs while lying down. I relied entirely on myself as the master to make progress...
The black-maned horse was connected to Lu Li, vaguely aware of his thoughts, and immediately retorted:
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when we suppressed the Yellow Turban rebels, drove out the barbarians from the grasslands, and carried out the crusade against the Xiliang rebels, which one do you think I did not contribute to?"
"Those generals are all capable of breaking mountains and seas. As a mount, I have suffered a lot... Every time you fight with someone, all the strength is transferred to me..."
As he spoke, he howled like a wolf and behaved like an unreasonable child.
Lu Li said he was not surprised by the emergence of this phenomenon, and even started to have a headache. With his usual personality, after refining Henggu and being able to speak, he would definitely do all kinds of tricks...
No, I have already started calling myself myself.
While one person and one horse were bickering, the few people who had not dispersed were shocked.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, mountains and seas were torn apart.
The amount of information is too much.
The younger junior brother who was born in Confucianism said that he could not accept it for the time being. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder whether the historian had deliberately hidden something when compiling the "Book of the Later Han" and "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms".
The Hanyu Taoist boy, the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and Lu Xu, who had not gone far, were all shocked. Although they did not say anything, their thoughts became more and more complicated.
Only Danniang and Xiaodie, whose concentration was weak, could not help but exclaim, looking at the black-maned horse with eyes full of curiosity and respect.
Yes, this guy is a real drama queen.
The master can act better than me.
Lu Li shook his head and didn't bother to refute the black-maned horse. The actual situation was not that exaggerated. Except for Lu Bu, the humanoid plug-in, the other top-notch generals could split a hundred-meter hill in half with all their strength, let alone topple the sea.
, maybe top strategists can make the river flow back for a while.
"Butler, is there any mutton in the kitchen?"
There was such a big commotion in the middle of the night, and Lu Li was a little hungry, so he decided to have a late-night snack.
"have."
The old housekeeper nodded hurriedly, "I just killed two sheep not long ago to use as meat for the whole house during the day. They haven't chopped them yet, so I'll ask the cook..."
"No need to chop it, just take it whole to the back garden and prepare the grill and drinks."
"yes."
Hearing this, Lu Xu stopped staying and walked directly towards the ancestral hall. He had to tell his ancestors about this good thing and also calm down alone.
After all, the son who had watched him grow up since childhood suddenly became a descendant of the stars and a reincarnation of a god. No matter how big-hearted the father was, he could not calm down for a moment. It happened that after paying homage to his ancestors, he had a good time with his mother who died of illness.
If you keep nagging, you won’t bother these young people.
The old butler, who had served the Lu family for three generations, never closed his lips, and kept thinking about Lu Li's grandfather's name in his heart.
"Alas, there is no beef to eat."
Seeing the wine and meat, the black-maned horse stopped howling and said with regret, "I really want to taste the flavor of smoked beef."
In the feudal dynasty, cattle were the most precious animal power. To put it bluntly, they were more valuable than human life. How could they be willing to eat them?
Lu Li didn't know if other dynasties had formulated relevant laws. Anyway, in the Han Dynasty, there was a rule that princes would not kill cows without any reason, let alone ordinary people. Those who killed cows privately would be punished!
In the Tang Dynasty, the rules were a little more relaxed, but anyone who killed a cow would be sentenced to one year in prison.
"What are you thinking about? It would be nice to have mutton to eat." Lu Li patted the black-maned horse on the head, as if to scold him, but in fact, his strength was useless.
"Isn't this the Ming Dynasty?" The black-maned horse is indeed very psychic. When his master frowned, he immediately understood what he meant and retorted: "Maybe it doesn't violate the law?"
"It's against the law." The younger junior brother was silent for a long time, and then spoke again, "Those who deliberately kill cattle will receive a seventy-tenth rod, a one-and-a-half-year apprenticeship, and banishment from the army."
"Pity."
The black-maned horse shook his head.
Seeing this, Lu Li wanted to say, "Do you want to eat horse meat?", but then he thought about it and decided that the joke was too bad, so he dismissed it directly.
The old butler didn't go far. After hearing these words, he turned around and said: "The old slave has a bad memory and almost forgot to mention that yesterday afternoon, our farm in the countryside sent someone to report that there was a buffalo.
After falling while walking, I never got up again..."
The wolf howled.
The black-maned horse became excited.
And this mood lasted until the supper started.
Since it was not a public banquet, there was no need to adhere to any rigid etiquette. Miss Danniang and Xiaodie couldn't sleep, so they put on soft cushions and sat on the ground with them in the open air.
The flames danced, the skin of the cooked mutton squeaked, and the oil droplets continued to fall into the charcoal fire, releasing the aroma.
The black-maned horse ate voraciously, enjoying a whole roasted lamb to itself, but always kept a certain distance from the campfire. Perhaps it was born with a fear of flames.
Next to them, Lu Li and others shared half of a roasted lamb.
As for the remaining half, it was naturally divided between the armored soldiers who were keeping watch at night and the servants who had not yet fallen asleep.
"Senior brother, are you from the Heavenly Palace?"
Junior brother Wang Zijing's face was full of curiosity.
Hearing this, the two girls who were slowly eating meat couldn't help but pricked up their ears.
The same is true for Hanyu Taoist boys.
Anyone who knows that there is a magical person next to him will be tempted to ask a few questions.
"Living in the Jade Tower." Lu Li always remembered not to disclose the existence of the school.
In fact, even if he told the matter, the few people around him would not hear it. This is based on past experience.
So, he simply told the scene he had imagined.
"To be precise, it should be Beidou Tianyuan Palace."
Tao Tong whispered in his heart but did not say it out loud. After all, the relationship between him and Lu Li was not that close and was far inferior to that of his younger junior brother.
Not even as good as Lu Li's pillow.
Frankly speaking, Dan Niang is still in a daze, suspecting that this is a dream or illusion that is infinitely close to reality, but her reason tells her that everything is really happening.
Just like that, a few people chatted while eating.
Most of the time, the younger junior brother and the Han Yu Taoist asked questions, and Lu Li answered them. The two girls listened silently, and the black-maned horse interjected from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
When Yinshi arrived, there would be another two hours until dawn before they each returned to their rooms, and their relationship took a further step forward.
At first, Dan Niang was a little restrained, but after Lu Li said some thoughtful words, she was so shy that she went with him to the bathtub built in the room.
The sound of water rushing...
After a long time, the curtains were closed.
There were a few conversations inside.
"Madam, you haven't said your name yet."
