Chapter 426: Please build the Seven Star Altar, the poor road must borrow the east wind
On the bank of the Yangtze River near Tangying, a handsome Taoist priest in white was stepping on Yubu, muttering something in his mouth, and then waved his hand, and a talisman appeared on his fingertips.
"Tai Shang Laojun is as urgent as the law, go!"
Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong stood by the river, looked at where Kong Qing was waving his hand, and casually threw the talismans into the river. Then the talismans sank quickly as if they had come to life and disappeared.
"OK! Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
After throwing the last talisman into the river, Kong Qing clapped his hands and said casually.
"Now we are waiting for Taihu God and others to come to help in the battle..."
Li Xiaogong, who was standing aside, did not have such a relaxed attitude as Kong Qing, so he whispered in a worried voice.
"Qingwei, will those gods come to help? It doesn't mean that the gods are not willing to intervene in the fight for dragons in the mortal world..."
"Prince, please rest assured!"
With a smile on his face, Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and stood up straight.
"In the past few months, Pindao has had some friendship with the gods in Jianghuai. They will not refuse Pindao."
Seeing Kong Qing's confident smile, Li Xiaogong suddenly felt that he had some confidence in his heart.
Since Erlang said that this Qingwei was a banished immortal, and he was so confident, then it should be reliable!
"correct……"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and pointed towards a flat place by the river.
"I also ask the prince to build a seven-star altar here, imitating Zhuge's old work, with all the flags and banners. I want to do this on the platform and borrow the east wind to help the prince defeat the enemy!"
Li Xiaogong blinked silently, looking confused.
"Qingwei, what are you talking about about Zhuge's old story? And what does borrowing the east wind mean?"
At this time, whether it was Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, or even the other generals standing behind them, such as Huang Junhan, the general manager of Huaizhou, Zhang Zhenzhou, the general manager of Shuzhou, Li Daliang, the pacifier, Zuo Nandang, the governor of Youzhou, and Quan, the deputy general manager of marching.
None of Wen Dan and the others noticed that there was a colorful fish swimming by the river near them.
"Don't Prince Zhao know the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind during the Battle of Chibi? This is a long story..."
Kong Qing turned sideways, lowered his eyes, glanced at the fish silently, and then said to Li Xiaogong.
"I think on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu found that the wind direction was wrong and he could not attack with fire, so he was very disappointed. At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and built a seven-star altar on Nanping Mountain, which was nine feet high and divided into three floors.
With his hair spread and sword in hand, he borrowed strong southeast winds from the sky for three days and three nights, and then he defeated Cao..."
"Qingwei, what are you talking about!"
Before Li Xiaogong spoke, Li Jing, who was standing aside, couldn't help it.
"During the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang was still in Xiakou. How could he go to Jiangdong to borrow some east wind..."
"This is the pharmacist, you don't know."
Kong Qing replied seriously.
"Zhuge Liang is a scholar of heaven and man. Not only is he well versed in the academics of Confucianism, Taoism, military strategists, Mohists, political strategists, etc., but he has also cultivated himself into a real Taoist disciple. Naturally, he cannot be defeated by the mere flying skills, so the Battle of Chibi
On the eve of the eve, he flew directly from Xiakou across the Yangtze River to borrow the east wind. Because this matter is recorded very secretly, you don't know.
So, some people shouldn’t think it’s a problem if they know Taoism. In fact, they are far behind Zhuge Liang.”
The veins on Li Jing's forehead twitched.
Mingming Qingwei was contemplating him, but because Li Xiaogong was on the side, he couldn't refute it.
Very angry!
"So that's what it is!"
Li Xiaogong, who was standing aside, was also frightened by Kong Qing's story of "borrowing the east wind". He wriggled his lips twice and finally uttered a dry sentence.
"The solitary king is really ignorant..."
After barely speaking half a sentence, Li Xiaogong immediately turned the topic back to business.
"Qingwei, I dare to ask you what shape the Seven Star Altar is, and what patterns are needed for the flags and flags. King Gu can arrange for people to make them."
"this one?"
Kong Qing gently tapped his face with the white jade whisk in his hand and said thoughtfully.
"If you want to build an altar, you can take the red soil from the southeast of this place. The altar has a radius of twenty-four feet, and each level is three feet high, making a total of nine feet. The first level is made of twenty-eight flags, divided into the colors of the four elephants, with seven sides each of green, white, and red soap.
The shape of the twenty-eight constellations is embroidered, and the middle layer is made up of sixty-four yellow flags, which are divided into eight positions according to the sixty-four hexagrams. In addition, only two long poles are needed, with seven star belts hanging on them."
Li Xiaogong thought about it in his mind, and there was no problem in building an altar, but for flags and other things, he could use the military flags by modifying them. The only thing he made from scratch was two seven-star ribbons, but those things were simple.
"good!"
Li Xiaogong nodded and answered without hesitation.
"I'll go back and make arrangements now. Tomorrow...the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will definitely let Qingwei see this Seven-Star Tower."
"good!"
Kong Qing nodded slightly and looked in the direction of Queyue City opposite.
"Then this matter will be left to Prince Zhao. When the Seven Star Altar is completed, Pindao will go up to the altar and do what he did. He will borrow the east wind to help the Prince's navy go down the river and attack Queyue City. By then, there will be a navy
With the help of cover, the prince’s tiger warriors will definitely be able to attack Liangshan in one fell swoop.”
"What's the use of just having the east wind..."
Quan Wendan, a dark-skinned deputy marching commander standing on the side, asked doubtfully.
"Isn't the key now the iron cables across the river? Can't Master Qingwei's east wind break the iron cables?"
"General Manager Quan, don't worry!"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand with an indifferent expression.
"Under the east wind of Pindao, trivial objects such as iron ropes are not worth mentioning!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the remaining generals looked at the iron ropes floating in the river with puzzled faces.
No matter how powerful the east wind that the Taoist borrowed was, could it still break the iron ropes? Or was it that he planned to set off a huge wave and break the iron ropes?
But this seems impossible!
However, because of the behavior of a certain Taoist priest who had a certain governor hanged up because of a disagreement yesterday, the generals including Quan Wendan very obediently stopped talking and did not continue to question.
Anyway, when fighting, the navy is the first to attack. If the iron cable across the river is solved, it will be good for the navy to rush forward. But even if it cannot be solved, the navy will not lose anything by wandering around the river in vain.
Because of this trivial matter, it's not worth risking being hanged to argue with this Taoist priest.
At this moment, the colorful little fish shook its body and swam toward the deep water. Kong Qing, who was standing on the shore, shook the whisk in his hand and looked at the little fish with the slanted light from the corner of his eyes.
He left with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The little fish shook its body and dived all the way down. After swimming forward for several hundred feet, it came to the front of a huge cave in the middle of the river.
In the dark bottom of the river, this cave revealed a faint light, as if there were lights lit inside.
The colorful fish swayed its body and swam in from the cave. The cave was very spacious, just like a human house. It was divided into a main hall and a guest room. There were several bright pearls inlaid on the wall of the cave, emitting
With soft light.
In the largest and brightest cave among them, there is a wide, white ribbon-like thing coiled up, crystal clear and shining, and it is still flowing together with the water flow.
The colorful little fish rolled in the water and turned into a man wearing a brocade robe. He bowed down to the white training belt with a hasty look on his face and said hastily.
"Your Majesty! A great disaster..."
As he spoke, the white belt trembled, and then something that was still as white as snow but shaped like a bull's head poked out from where the white belts met.
The next moment, the white bull's eyes opened and shone brightly, like two bright pearls at night.
"What did you say...what big disaster?"
"Your Majesty..."
After seeing the white bull head in front of him and opening his eyes, the man in brocade robe did not dare to neglect and immediately continued.
"A Taoist priest came from the Tang Army. He was flying talismans one after another by the river just now. He said he wanted to summon the Taihu Water God and other gods to come and help the Tang Army."
"What nonsense..."
After hearing these words, the Bai Liandai opposite him shook his body, opened his mouth wide, and burst out laughing.
"The Dragon Lord of Taihu Lake was driven away a few months ago. Where did the Taihu Water God come from? This Taoist priest is obviously a delusional man who pretends to be a god. What else did he say?"
The man in brocade robe thought for a moment and replied.
"He also said that he would build an altar on the river bank just like Zhuge Liang did when he borrowed the east wind during the Battle of Chibi. Then he would borrow the east wind to help the Tang army's navy break through the iron cables and rush to Queyue City."
"oh……"
After hearing his words, the white trainer pondered for a moment.
"I have heard of Zhuge Liang's name, and it seems to be very powerful. So imitating his method should not be underestimated, but I don't understand the affairs of these Taoist priests, so be it! I'd better go to Queyue City and discuss it with Brother Hou.
"
As he spoke, the white training belt trembled, and his body shot out like a crossbow, rushing out of the cave along with the water flow, and then surged straight up towards the river.
Wow!
After a loud noise, this thing that looked like a white belt rushed out of the river. Its slender body circled in the air and turned into a man wearing a white gauze tall hat, black trousers and a white robe.
young people.
Whoosh!
After the young man's body rolled in the air, he landed on the iron rope across the river. Then, as if strolling in a garden, he stepped on the iron rope and walked towards Queyue City.
Before he reached the riverside, he heard a vigilant voice coming from the river bank ahead.
"who?"
"Can't you even recognize Bai Te's voice?"
The man in white didn't panic at all and continued to walk forward while speaking loudly.
"Go and inform Brother Hou that someone is coming to see him!"
