Chapter 132: Hong Ling Mingzhi is the leader of Wei Mang 0930
Chapter 132 Hong Ling Mingzhi (Additional update for Wei Mang 0930 leader)
Next came the spiritual wine and silk. The envoy from Chu State, Shen Douke, tasted the spiritual wine brewed by various countries one by one, inspected the silk, and made a decision on the tribute.
Wu Sheng muttered: "Why can't magic weapons and elixirs compete like this?"
Dao Baifeng said: "My Sima once said that magic weapons and elixirs are the bulk of the tributes, and nothing else matters. These two items must be tested on the spot to convince all parties... My Sima also said,
This is the request of the Chu people."
Sure enough, the suspicion in my heart was confirmed. This is because the Chu people were afraid that the relationship between the four countries was too harmonious, which would only cause suffering for us corporals.
Huh? It seems that I haven’t been promoted to the rank of scholar yet?
As he was speaking, Bo Gui, the Taizai of the Fish Kingdom, announced: "The next competition will be an alchemy competition. Alchemists from all over the world are invited to attend!"
Wu Sheng took a deep breath, walked off the stage, and came to an open space on the south side of the stone platform. Four futons had been set up here, each of them about ten feet apart, lined up facing the stone platform.
The alchemists Kui and Lu were very conscious and went directly to the left and right sides, giving up the two central positions.
After the two alchemists took their seats, they carefully placed the alchemy furnaces in their arms in front of them, each took out a piece of red silk and held it in their palms, and bowed to the kings and ministers of the various countries, as well as Shen Douke, the Chu envoy who was supervising the appointment.
"Corporal of Zuoyinmen of Kui Kingdom and alchemist Mo You, please give me a try on the alchemy!"
"Corporal Situ Men of the Kingdom of Lu, Alchemist Yue Zhong, please give me a try on the elixir!"
After hearing the reply "Yes" from the king of their country, the two alchemists solemnly tied the red silk ribbon in front of their foreheads, tied their hair in a bun, and arranged their appearance. Their generous heart to die was clearly revealed. Wu Sheng couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
A tremor.
Although I had made up my mind to survive even if I lost, I still couldn't help being deeply affected by being in the situation, and I felt a little better.
The alchemist who died from the Fish Kingdom put down the two-foot-high alchemy furnace with a smile on his face. His behavior was the same as that of the alchemists from Kui and Qi: "You are a guest from the Fish Kingdom, alchemist Yunji, please give me a try on the alchemy."
Sure enough, it was Yun Ji who was appointed as a guest minister by the Yu Kingdom. The guest minister was a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty and was already among the officials. Mr. Yu folded his palms in front of his forehead and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Mr. Yun!"
Yun Ji nodded, tied up the red silk ribbon, and looked at Wu Sheng with a smile. He occupied the right side of the middle seat, which was the first place. He looked at Wu Sheng with a smile, which was obviously provocative, but this move did not offend Wu Sheng.
The basic point of promotion - Wu Sheng didn't care about the ranking, and took the seat to his left without even a single thought.
"Shen Wu, the alchemist of Yongguo, please try the elixir!"
Young Master Qingyu secretly sighed in his heart, the alchemists of the Three Kingdoms were either scholars or officials, but the alchemist of Yongguo was nothing, how could he compare with others? Alchemist Shen was about to die serving his country, but he had to live as a common man.
I’m really ashamed of myself!
It was not him who had the final say in the Yong Kingdom. Wu Sheng had not yet accomplished enough to be promoted, so he could only say nothing. However, he was very solemn in his courtesy, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and responded with the courtesy of a doctor.
Wu Sheng: "You have Alchemist Laoshen."
Wu Sheng took out the alchemy furnace he was using, which was the one he had captured from Longquan Sect. He originally wanted to use an ordinary alchemy furnace, but the situation seemed a bit grim just now, so he turned around and went to the back to change it out, which also provoked Dao Bai.
Feng was surprised for a while: "When did Master Shen bring this alchemy furnace?"
After putting the alchemy furnace away, Wu Sheng pretended to take it out for a moment, then spread his hands, as if he was looking for something but couldn't find it, and smiled apologetically at the three alchemists around him...
Everyone was waiting for his next words, but Dao Baifeng next to him knew that there would be no more words, and his face felt hot.
Wu Sheng, who had nothing to say, looked at his uncle and waited for the announcement that the competition would begin.
Several alchemists looked at each other, and Yun Ji suddenly laughed, full of sarcasm: "How dare you end up with no determination to die?"
Alchemist Mo You of the Kui Kingdom and Yue Zhong, the alchemist of the Lu Kingdom, couldn't help but touch the silk ribbons on their heads.
Wu Sheng said: "The key to refining elixirs is to calm the mind and have no distractions. If the heart is not calm, the Qi will not sink. If the Qi is not sinking, the fire will be impure. If the fire is not pure, the yin and yang will not be adjusted. If the yin and yang are not adjusted, the essence will not be condensed. The essence will not be condensed.
If it is not condensed, the elixir will not be formed. If you only care about winning or losing, and think about life and death, how can you refine a good elixir?"
Yun Ji did not expect that Wu Sheng would not be ashamed of it but would be proud of it in such a solemn occasion. He would also speak plausibly and confidently. He immediately frowned and said, "Don't you know the rules of the competition?"
Wu Sheng asked: "What are the rules of the competition? Which rule? Which article does it appear in? Is there any application for a contract?"
Yun Ji sneered: "It's the usual practice for the Four Nations to compete in an alliance. I heard that Master Shen Alchemy is not a mediocre person. If you don't know, you can ask your young master or the kings of various countries... The envoy of Chu is also here, so you can ask Master Shen Alchemy too!"
"
Wu Sheng nodded: "So, Dan Master Yun knows about me?"
Yun Ji was disdainful: "I don't know where the savages came from. After learning the skills of the three-legged cat, they dared to make elixirs on their own. There were villagers who didn't know the elixirs and were deceived. They bought them at a high price and thought they were good at it."
Is this the way? Today I will show you your true form!"
Wu Sheng said: "So you have really heard of me, are you dissatisfied that my elixir is sold more expensive than yours?"
Yun Jidao: "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't dare to marry me and make your heart clear, just admit defeat honestly, cut off your hands and feet and go down on the platform. Maybe you can save your life, otherwise I will make you die on the platform today!"
Wu Sheng was silent for a moment and sighed: "I originally thought that there were very few capable people in alchemy. The four countries formed an alliance and were originally in-laws. It would be good to keep one talent, so why bother to quarrel? It's a pity that Master Yun has this intention.
If you are determined to die, there is no other way... In this case, your wish will be fulfilled."
As he said that, he looked around: "Everyone, who brought more red silk?"
Walking up to Mo You: "Fellow Taoist, please lend me Hong Ling."
Mo You was stunned and said: "I never brought more..."
Wu Sheng reached out directly and took off the red silk ribbon on his forehead.
Mo You touched his forehead and muttered: "But I don't have it anymore..."
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Today is a battle between me and Yun Ji. Don't get involved. Just stay useful to Kui country."
As soon as he finished speaking, the alchemist Yue Zhong from the Lu Kingdom rushed over, took off the red silk ribbon on his forehead, and stuffed it into Wu Sheng's hand: "Use Yue's!" He then said with gratitude: "Alchemist Shen is right.
Okay, the key to refining alchemy is to keep your mind calm and focused. Yue has been taught. Just one word is enough to be called a teacher. Yue feels ashamed! Today I am convinced and don’t dare to leave, so I have to serve the teacher and prepare for it.
I wish you a great success, sir!"
This smart guy not only avoided the danger of dying for Dan with his words, but also became a good story when it was spread. He was very chivalrous. Wu Sheng patted Yue Zhong on the shoulder and said unceremoniously: "In this case, please serve Dan!"
Wu Sheng sat back on the table, tied both red ribbons on his forehead, and waited for the competition.
Yue Zhong came behind him and sat down to serve him. Mo You over there finally came to his senses, stumbled over and served Wu Sheng on the other side: "You, please serve the elixir for sir."
Dazai Bo Gui remained calm and said: "This year's Mao tribute, one thousand Wushen Pills, five hundred Jingning Pills, and Rhubarb Pills five hundred each. Therefore, three furnaces of these pills were opened, and one furnace each was refined for evaluation. According to yesterday's results,
The doctor has agreed that the two alchemists will ask to test the spiritual material."
Grandly celebrate the promotion of Wei Mang 0930 as the leader of the alliance on November 4th. The calendar wheel rotates, coincides with the heaven, gathers the five elements, harmonizes the four images, the spirit stays forever, obtains the immortal grid, burns three pillars of incense, and bids farewell to fellow Taoist friends.
