Chapter 6 The banquet in the palace! The beginning of the intrigue
After all, Yun Zhongzi is a rare immortal, and the things he sent should not be fake or shoddy goods! Zhang Zixing thought, sitting cross-legged, placing the jade tablets in his palms, and following the instructions, he calmly eliminated distracting thoughts.
, gradually focus your spiritual thoughts on your palms.
At this time, a strange scene appeared in Zhang Zixing's mind: a translucent human body floating in the air, with several white threads in the body, which seemed to represent various meridians, and some golden light spots were moving on the white threads.
Judging from the written formula, these golden light spots should be the movement routes of the inner energy in the meridians. After a period of time, the human body changes its posture again, and the movement trajectory of the golden light spots also changes accordingly. There are seven postures in total, and their names are also
It's very strange. It's called "fighting" or "danger". Judging from the notes on the side, it's a complete set of mental training methods called "War Soul Technique".
Yun Zhongzi is right. This War Soul Technique looks completely different from the Immortal Family Technique. Its function is to "cultivate the body and refine the body", which can improve various functions of the body and energy utilization skills. It is somewhat similar.
The highest state of "external strength" in martial arts is called "indestructible and indestructible". Zhang Zixing guessed that this so-called "indestructible and indestructible" is only for mortal weapons. If Mo Xie or Wu Gou and his like are used,
Immortal soldier, I'm afraid my head is no different than tofu.
However, Zhang Zixing never thought about relying on his own cultivation power to deal with future enemies - even if he starts practicing now, even if the Conferred God War breaks out thousands of years later, he is still no match for those people.
The magic weapon of fame is only for escaping. There are countless examples of this in Fengshenyan, let alone facing bosses such as the leader and saint.
Zhang Zixing thought about it carefully and felt that the weapon he could most rely on was the wisdom and knowledge accumulated by mankind for thousands of years. Although he did not have the help of computers, he was confident that with memory and experiments, the Shang Dynasty could achieve great success in a very short time.
Jumping to the era of hot weapons is even further. Of course, if weapons of the 24th century can be created, it is not impossible to change the course and even the outcome of the entire Conferred God War.
Furthermore, Thirty-Six Strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Guiguzi and other horizontal and vertical strategies were mostly unknown and new things in the Shang Dynasty.
There is a lot to be done among the forces of the Great Immortal Family...
As for the Battle Soul Technique that can only temper the body, Zhang Zixing feels that it is very suitable for his current situation. At the very least, it allows him to master and use the huge power in his body. Yun Zhongzi accidentally obtained this Battle Soul Technique in West Kunlun.
At that time, I found that what was contained in it was just a "little way" to cultivate the body, which was incomparable with the "big way" of the immortal family that I had practiced, so I put it away casually and did not try to practice the method. This time as
Giving a gift to King Shou not only repays the kindness of King Shou, but also gives him a worthless thing. It is the best of both worlds - in the eyes of this immortal, just the "treasure fairy tea" sent by King Shou is...
It was much more precious than the Battle Soul Art. In fact, Yun Zhongzi didn't know how much impact this "little thing" that he ignored would have on his future "fate"...
After several repeated trials, Zhang Zixing was sure that he had completely mastered the method of reading jade tablets. He was not in a hurry to practice, so he got up and left the study. When he thought that there were two beauties waiting for his "favor", Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
He quickened his pace - of course, this kind of human ethics matter is important. As for cultivation, let's talk about it when we have time...
That night, the three of them achieved good things. Zhang Zixing was born with a different gender, had extraordinary energy, and possessed modern "skills", which was more than enough to control two women. Jiang and Yang were both beautiful young women. After a long battle, after a fierce battle,
The two women were made so happy by those methods several times, and he was so gentle and considerate that they felt like they were in a dream and wished not to wake up. From then on, Zhang Zixing finally fully integrated into the new role.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Zixing has been practicing the Soul Fighting Art for two months. Jiang and Yang were pleasantly surprised to find that this husband who had always only cared about having fun had become diligent and studious. Not only did he no longer fool around with the singer or do anything like before
When he goes out to cause trouble, he instead cultivates his moral character, is well-read, and cares a lot about national affairs. Sometimes he even makes some interesting and practical gadgets that have never been seen before, such as toothbrushes, kites, scissors, etc., which amaze people.
Due to Zhang Zixing's caring and thoughtfulness, the relationship between the couple became deeper and deeper, and the boudoir was like a fish in water. His Royal Highness, the longevity king, also enjoyed the blessings of being together with peace of mind. The only thing that made him feel a little knotty was the two "Zijiao and Zihong"
"Cheap" sons always have the feeling of alienation that they are not their biological children. Fortunately, they are still young, and Zhang Zixing has deliberately established the image of a strict father, so he is always in awe of his father and does not dare to be too naughty.
The slave Ao who was rescued in the market was given the surname "Sun" by Zhang Zixing (a slave in the Shang Dynasty had a low status, with only a first name and no surname), and his brother and sister were removed from the slave status. Sun Ao's sister Yu was under the treatment of the imperial physician
They were soon restored to health. The brother and sister were very grateful to King Shou, and Sun Ao even swore allegiance to King Shou in the name of his parents. As for Dr. Fei Lian, he was very sensible. When he learned that his servant had offended Queen Shou, he immediately sent Chen Jie
He was cut in half and came to apologize in person with a large number of gifts. Although Zhang Zixing despised him, he knew that now was not the time to deal with him, so he did not make things too difficult for him.
At this time, news of success came from the front line. Taishi Wen Zhong, who had conquered the rebellious people in Beihai, was victorious. His troops returned to the court. Emperor Yi Longyan was delighted and ordered a banquet for the ministers at the Xianqing Hall.
As the longevity king, Zhang Zixing naturally had to attend this banquet. When he heard the news about Master Wen Zhong, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Master Wen was a sect of Jinling Shengshen, one of the four direct disciples of Master Tongtian, although he was not the first disciple of Jiejiao.
A disciple with first-class strength, but he is also well-informed, possesses special skills, and is very familiar with the original Shou King. He needs to be careful to avoid exposing his flaws.
Since he became the longevity king, this was the first time for Zhang Zixing to participate in such a large-scale palace banquet where all officials gathered, which was an eye-opener. The top leader Di Yi first gave a routine speech before the banquet, and the content was nothing more than:
Thanks to the blessings of the gods and the ancestors of Chengtang, the rebellion was quickly quelled. Zhang Zixing secretly expressed his gratitude after hearing this. In this way, the gods and ancestors have become the first contributors to the suppression of the rebellion, so what is the use of hearing about the Taishi and the soldiers?
What is the cause of the Battle of the Gods?
Yuanshi Tianzun, the master of Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, explained and taught Taoism. Because twelve of his disciples had suffered misfortunes in the world of mortals, and because God Haotian ordered the twelve immortals to serve as ministers, the three religions discussed it and divided it into three levels: explaining the teachings, intercepting the teachings, and humanism.
, a total of 365 gods who became gods due to calamity - it is these so-called immortals and gods who, for their own personal grudges or murders, do not hesitate to subvert the monarchy in the mortal world and make the people suffer terrible wars and disasters -
They are the real culprits of peace!
Zhang Zixing was indignant in his heart, but his face remained respectful, and he seemed to be listening carefully to the speech of Emperor Emperor's father. Although Emperor Yi had been in poor health recently, he was in high spirits today, and his usual sick appearance was gone. After thanking the gods and ancestors as usual, he really
The hero Taishi Wen Zhong and other generals finally received the praise they deserved.
Wen Zhong was a veteran of the two dynasties. He appeared to be over fifty years old. He had a majestic appearance and bright eyes. Although he was not tall, his whole person had an extraordinary temperament that made people awe-inspiring. Zhang Zixing admired it secretly.
But when I thought that this loyal Shang Dynasty veteran could not escape the death of Jue Longling, I couldn't help but feel sad.
The position below Wen Zhong is a tall young general with red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and a short beard. He looks a bit like Guan Yu, a famous military general from the Three Kingdoms in later generations. It was this time that he accompanied Wen Taishi.
The deputy commander of the expedition, Wucheng General Huang Feihu. Huang Feihu is said to be the best general of the Shang Dynasty in the book. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. He is a rare handsome man. However, Zhang Zixing knows that if the trajectory of fate cannot be changed, then in the future his subordinates will
This most powerful military officer will defect to the Western Zhou Dynasty and become the main force in the fight against Zhou...
At this time, Emperor Yi finally finished his speech, and the master of ceremonies announced the start of the banquet. The musicians and slaves played a burst of simple and sweet bells on the exquisite bronze bells and drums. The graceful maids brought up the sumptuous food and wine one by one.
In addition to bowls and plates, the food utensils of the Shang Dynasty palace also included Gui, beans, etc. The materials were also divided into jade, lacquerware, white pottery and bronze. However, the jade and pottery at this time were relatively simple, and the food was mainly made of cattle, sheep and pigs.
, mainly fish, bacon and animal offal, supplemented by some delicious vegetables at that time (such as shepherd's purse, leeks, etc.).
This is the famous "ding food" of the Shang Dynasty. The cooked meat is first cooked in a prepared tripod, and then the waiter takes it out of the tripod, dips it in various seasonings, and serves it to the emperor and ministers. What's interesting is that
There is also a strict ranking system for tripod food. The emperor has nine tripods, the princes have seven, the officials have five, and the other officials have three. If there is any violation, it will be regarded as treason. The food in the various tripods is also exquisite. Here
I won’t go into details one by one. At this time, the “ding” was no longer just a simple cooking utensil, but a very representative ritual vessel.
Zhang Zixing briefly tasted the food and felt that the food was indeed very delicious and absolutely pure and natural food without pollution. However, the cooking methods and seasonings were relatively lacking, and it was not as good as the taste of the Shou Wang Mansion after adding ingredients; the wine was brewed from some grains.
Although it is better than what is sold in market restaurants, it is still difficult for Zhang Zixing, who comes from the 24th century, to eat it.
"Third Brother, you usually like to drink heavily, why are you so reserved today?"
The speaker was a young man with a short beard in white clothes, who was the eldest brother of King Shou. Emperor Yi had three sons in total, the eldest son Qi (Weizi Qi), the second son Yan (Wei Ziyan), King Shou was the youngest. Qi
He Shou Wang is a biological brother with the same father and mother. Their mother gave birth to Wei Ziqi when she was Emperor Yi's concubine. Later, she was promoted to the queen and gave birth to King Shou. Wei Ziyan was another
Born by a concubine, according to the etiquette of the Shang Dynasty, both Zi Qi and Zi Yan were sons of a concubine.
It was this status of "son of a concubine" that made the two royal brothers jealous of King Shou, and even King Shou's kind-hearted brother Wei Ziqi was no exception.
