Chapter 51: The source side monk can't afford to play
"Elixir is a single thing. One thing is a single thing. But there is no correct way, so it is called elixir. The sky can be clear, the earth can be peaceful, the grain can be full, and people can live long..."
In the courtyard, Xu Tong was sipping tea and holding the Taishang Alchemy Sutra given to him by the native Feiyuan in his other hand.
Although this book can be used as a prop card, it directly increases the probability of making alchemy.
But from being an ordinary player to now, Xu Tong deeply felt that what belongs to him is truly powerful.
Prop cards are just an auxiliary means.
Even in the later stages, the auxiliary effect of prop cards will become smaller and smaller.
As Master Song said, in all walks of life, no matter what you do, even if you are an ordinary worker, when you achieve the ultimate, what you strive for is the same connotation.
Moreover, every time he thinks about this book, the corners of Xu Tong's mouth always turn up slightly. This is what his good brother sacrificed his life for, and he must cherish it.
Xu Tong is studying, and Guo Yi is practicing boxing in the yard.
Guo Yi still practices the same set of boxing techniques used by Taibao. However, after becoming a master, every movement and movement, punch and palm, have already affected the surrounding qi. Between the virtual and the real, the shadows of the fists are intertwined. Although he has not practiced the Buddhist Vajra method,
But the physical body is already comparable to King Kong.
I wonder if Brother Guo meets Gu Xibai, a martial arts idiot, and they fight, regardless of the bonus of prop cards, Gu Xibai, a martial arts idiot, has a chance of winning.
"Your Majesty, it's been a few days, why do those monks outside take the trouble to come!"
Sanniang carried a food box and placed it on the small table next to Xu Tong. When she heard the chanting outside, she couldn't help but complain.
Across the courtyard, the sound of chanting can be heard, which makes people feel upset. It is a hot and scorching time in summer, and there is not even a moment of peace, which is very annoying.
It turns out that Xu Tong refused to go out or see anyone these days, so there were often some monks blocking the door chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name.
I hope to feel sincerely for the crown prince and invite him to come out and meet me.
But this sincerity was like an annoying fly in Sanniang's ears, and she thought to herself: "Who is my heir apparent? Who cares about you stinky monks?"
Sanniang said as she opened the food box in her hand, and the cool air inside formed an ice mist in the hot air and overflowed.
Inside the box was a beautiful copper plate with snow-white soufflé on it.
Sushan.
Similar to real ice cream.
Even the taste is definitely not inferior.
The production method is also very simple. Heat the pastry until it is almost melted and very soft. Then, pour it onto a vessel such as a plate and make a mountain shape while pouring it. Then, freeze it in an ice cellar and form it.
Covered with milk and ghee.
It seems to be a simple recipe, but it is not something ordinary people can eat. Huangyi has a chef who specializes in making Sushan, so Xu Tong can have a full meal.
Xu Tong put down the book and took a bite of the milk puff. The cold and sweet taste made him feel so good.
While eating, he asked: "Have you bought all the medicines I need??"
Sanniang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There are still some things missing, such as Euphorbia and Daphne. Drug stores are unwilling to sell these medicines, but most of them have been collected."
After speaking, Sanniang couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what do you want these medicines for? If you feel uncomfortable, just ask the doctor at Huangyi to take a look. Why bother to prepare it yourself?"
"Being idle is also idle."
Xu Tong didn't answer Sanniang, he just said something casually, but it was not a lie.
After all, he is really free now.
Previously, Guo Yi was ordered to go find Yuan Shoushi, but Yuan Shoushi was working hard to repair the Mingtang. It was said that His Majesty was preparing to hold a Dharma Mysterious Altar Ceremony, and the Buddha statues in the Mingtang were repaired without delay, so he was not allowed to leave easily.
Yuan Shoushi couldn't come, and it was inconvenient for him to go out.
Those bald donkeys outside were staring at me every day. Maybe the great Buddhist protector was waiting outside. If I really went out, I would be in a lot of trouble.
After all, he is third in the world, but he is still very brave.
So since you are free, you might as well collect some precious medicinal materials and try to make elixirs.
"Oh, by the way, I have already finished the lamp you asked me to make, Your Majesty."
At this time, Sanniang seemed to have remembered something, and immediately ran to the kitchen and took out a newly made five-sided lamp from the back of the kitchen.
The lantern is not beautifully made, but it looks very sturdy.
After Xu Tong expressed his thanks, Sanniang went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Xu Tong.
Looking at the lantern, Xu Tong thought in his mind that the Master taught him the Yellow Plague Technique, but now he is short of dogs.
Just as he was thinking about it, an attendant walked up to Xu Tong and said, "Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."
"oh!!"
Xu Tong was refreshed and thought: "Finally we are here."
Just as he was about to get up and change his clothes, he turned around and saw that his entourage had a very strange look on his face. He couldn't help but sit down again and said, "Is there anything else?"
The attendant nodded: "Well, you... also brought a great monk with you!"
“Great monk??”
Hearing this, Xu Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Xu Tong soon met the eunuch from the palace and...the great monk Yuan Xiang.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Yuan paid homage to the Crown Prince. After not seeing him for several days, the Crown Prince has become even more diligent in the Dharma!"
I saw the great monk Yuan Xiang walking side by side with a father-in-law, taking small and light steps.
As soon as Yuan Bian entered the courtyard, his eyes were filled with golden light. He glanced over and his face suddenly showed a joyful expression.
Sure enough, the Buddha's body was gone, but what surprised Yuan Xiang was that Xu Tong had Buddha's light on his body, and there was a golden seal of Buddha's Dharma on his forehead and between his eyebrows.
Others can't see this, but Yuan Xi can see it clearly. The golden seal of Buddhism is a symbol of Buddhist magical power. From the golden seal, it is the seal of their Buddhist Vajra.
It has only been a few days since we last met, and the golden seal of Buddhism has been completed. No wonder Yuan Xiang is so surprised.
The eunuch on the side walked forward with a smile, and before Xu Tong could speak, he lowered his voice and said: "Proclaim the Holy Edict, Crown Prince Li Zheng, the Crown Prince, is impartial, gentle and obedient, and is good at Buddhism. I heard that the Crown Prince has no good teacher.
I order the Great Dharma Master from the Dharma Protector Source of the Grand Prime Minister’s Temple to teach me personally and lead me to practice the Dharma during the Xuan Altar Ceremony! I admire this!!”
When Xu Tong heard the imperial edict, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. He didn't wake up until the prompt from the prop booklet came.
"Main mission 1: Bring the sky to salute
The Xuan Altar Ceremony will be held soon, and it will be a grand ceremony for all nations to come to court. The empress needs someone to take her place and attend the Buddhist Dharma lectures at the Xuantan Altar Ceremony.
Mission requirements: Follow the great mage of the source side and get the approval of the great mage of the source side.
Task time: January
Mission punishment: If the main mission fails, you will be forcibly kicked out of the world of this scenario."
Hearing the prompt, Xu Tong twitched the corner of his mouth, looked sideways at the great monk Yuan Xiang, and thought to himself: "Isn't this forcing a good girl to become a prostitute? Bald man, you can't afford it!"
However, the great monk Yuanzi was smiling and full of peach blossoms. No matter how you looked at it, he looked like the face of a big prostitute.
The old eunuch on the side was the old mother of the brothel. She spoke earnestly and earnestly to persuade Xu Tong, who was going to the sea for the first time:
"Your Majesty, this is a great blessing. Master Yuanxiang is the direct descendant of Xuanzang. I don't know how many people have broken their heads and want to worship him, but they can't find the right way. However, Your Majesty can enjoy this blessing alone. It's really
What a great blessing."
Seeing the old eunuch bringing blessings and blessings with each mouthful, Xu Tong silently raised his head, looked at the empty sky above his head, and let out a sigh of resignation: "Then... thank you, Your Majesty!"
No thanks, what else can I do?
If the old eunuch is the old mother in the brothel, then this empress is the world that makes people unable to struggle.
If you can't struggle, just relax and enjoy it.
After sending the old eunuch away, the atmosphere in the courtyard was strange for a while.
Sanniang, Guo Yi and others all glared at Yuan Zi.
The great monk Yuan Zi looked at Xu Tong with a smile.
Those wretched eyes made Xu Tong's skin crawl. He thought to himself: "It is indeed karma. If I had known, I should have thrown Yuan Xiang's body into the pit!"
"Master, what you did is too ineffective!!"
Xu Tong was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
When Yuan Zi heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled brightly on his angular face. It was like a prostitute entering the room. The more you called me, the more excited I became. I almost shouted: "You can't even break your throat if you scream."
Someone is here to save you!"
"Amitabha, Your Majesty has closed the door behind you, so the poor monk can only come up with this last resort. Your Majesty doesn't know that the poor monk has been planning for this for many days and has offended many people!"
Yuan Zi took out the [Da Mo Ke Sutra] from his sleeve with a smile. It was the one that Xu Tong had thrown away in the ghost market.
Yuan Bian did not lie. In order to facilitate this matter, Yuan Bian used almost all his connections.
So early in the morning in the court, some people suggested that the Xuantan ceremony was too complicated and complicated, and that His Majesty would personally preside over it, which would inevitably cause physical damage, and advised the saint to choose someone to do it instead.
As soon as these words came out, I didn't know how many people were offended.
The reason why the empress held the Xuantan Ceremony was precisely because Buddhism was supported by the empress.
The prosperity of Buddhism is also related to countless family relationships.
If the empress cannot preside over it in person, the significance of the Xuantan Dharma Assembly will be greatly reduced.
Prime Minister Wu even opposed it in court.
However, many civil servants and officials felt that this was an excellent opportunity, and even petitioned to cancel the Xuantan Dharma Assembly on the grounds of the saint's phoenix body.
People on both sides had a heated argument, and the empress was so angry that she scolded all the officials.
Afterwards, Yuan Xiang went to see Li Zheng, and when he talked about Li Zheng, he was nothing but full of praise. He also said that recently, the crown prince recited Buddhist scriptures every day, and there were monks reciting sutras for him every day outside the gate of the imperial post.
It was this operation by Yuan Bei that made the empress change her mind and signaled for Li Zheng to replace him.
In this way, the Xuantan Dharma Assembly will be held normally.
Secondly, as a descendant of the Li family, Li Zheng was able to appease his old officials and reduce their resistance to Buddhism.
And this is what Yuan Tong really wants. Otherwise, why didn't Yuan Tong come to Xu Tong during this period? Since you have closed the doors and windows tightly, I can only go rogue and demolish your roof.
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Xu Tong rolled his eyes, did not accept the book handed by the monk Yuan Zi, turned around and walked out the door.
“Where is the prince going??”
Seeing this, the great monk Yuanzi hurriedly followed.
Xu Tong paused for a moment, suddenly remembered something, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and recited a poem: "Two beauties dance, swaying like cloud immortals. The joy never tires, the dawn will come again." After reading the poem, he raised his head and practiced
With a serious Central Plains accent, she said two words: "Nv Piao, Nv Chang..."
