Just after the fifth watch, when the sky turned white, the dawn announcement began to be announced to the whole city from the tower of Daming Palace in Chang'an.
The exciting sound of drums rippled in all directions from the main entrance of the palace, and then the drum towers on the streets in the east, west, south and north sounded in sequence. The drums were divided into five waves and required a total of 800 blows. In the waves of bells and drums,
The gates of the imperial palace, the imperial city, and the gates of various districts were opened one after another.
Temples of all sizes in Chang'an City also came to join in the fun. The monks rang the morning bells one after another. The exciting and beating drums intertwined with the deep and distant bells, awakening Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and millions of people came together to welcome the gushing water from the eastern sky.
The rising sun rises.
I don’t know what they were thinking about, but since Taibai Jinxing came to surrender, no gods have come down to earth to deal with Li Yu.
Li Yu's courage gradually grew, and he even often stalked the streets of Chang'an.
With his current level of cultivation, Li Yu would be sure to escape as long as he wasn't a top-notch expert descending to the earth. He might even kill the god who came if he wasn't careful.
In each square, snack bars opened for business long before the drums of Daming Palace beat.
Everywhere there are food stalls, the firewood under the stove is dancing brightly and warmly. The people who sell snacks in Chang'an City are not only Han people, but also all kinds of exotic flavors, which is different from Bianliang.
The people in Bianliang City are extremely confident. They don't look down on the surrounding barbarian culture. The food in Bianliang is all serious Central Plains food. If you sell food for barbarians in Bianliang, you will probably be pointed out by the people in Bianliang.
Nose laughs.
Chang'an is more tolerant and easier to accept different cultures. At a stall, a shirtless Hu master was making sesame seed cakes with a "bang bang" sound...
Next to him, Hu Ji opened the steamer, white steam was rising, and the fragrance was overflowing...
A Westerner with a beard as curved as a hook takes the freshly baked sesame cakes out of the oven one by one with bamboo tongs, and places them in the bamboo basket like flowers. The sesame cakes are golden, crisp, and fragrant...
…
On the seat of the stall, Li Yu was sipping porridge, holding half a piece of biscuit in his hand. He was eating deliciously.
People around him pointed at him, and no one sat in the seat in front of him. After all, a Taoist priest with the light of Buddha looked so unique wherever he went.
"Serious Taoist priest, what a coincidence?" A Taoist priest stepped forward with a smile.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, it's hard to say. I see that you came to see me specially." Li Yu looked at Yuan Tiangang and said angrily.
"I heard that the Taoist priest is going to Yizhou to lobby Western Shu to send troops to attack Tianzhu."
Li Yu smiled and said, "You won my trust very quickly."
He picked up the bowl, drank it, wiped his mouth, took out two Tongbao from his sleeve, and shouted: "Change!"
"Sir, there are still three pieces left."
The shopkeeper behind him kicked him, for fear that this boy would not be able to see and would harm him. This man is no ordinary person at first glance. He has a Buddha's light above his head and is wearing a Taoist robe. He might be a god. How dare you go up and ask for it?
money.
Li Yu's face turned red, and Yuan Tiangang filled in for him, waving his hand to signal the waiter to leave.
After he left, Yuan Tiangang lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty wants to talk to you."
It’s over, Li Er came to his senses
Li Yu frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
Yuan Tiangang rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "How dare we as Taoists speculate on the holy will."
Li Yu stood up, patted his belly, and said: "Your Majesty probably thinks that if you go south from Tubo, you can attack Tianzhu, but you go back and tell your Majesty that although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is definitely not a good idea to raise troops from the plateau. I'm afraid
It will result in loss of troops and generals."
"Taoist Master, why don't you go there in person?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "There is no time."
Yuan Tiangang wanted to ask more questions, but saw a flash of white light on the spot, and there was no trace of Li Yu.
The silent diners and the boss were all stunned from ear to ear.
He is indeed a fairy!
The boss smiled happily and planned to change the name of his stall, so he called it: God comes early.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the direction in which Li Yu disappeared and gradually smiled.
"Let's go, go back and resume your life!"——
Li Yu walked in the air, becoming cautious and cautious along the way.
The sky is not a good place for him. Nowadays, there are too many enemies, and he doesn't feel at ease every time he flies in the sky.
Perhaps what can make me feel at ease is that only after arriving in the Kingdom of Shu, can I feel a sense of security around those generals.
He activated his spiritual power and shot a few more talismans, raising his speed to the extreme.
Soon, Yizhou was at our feet.
Approaching Yizhou, he already felt the barrier of the formation, so he stopped and slowly landed on the ground.
The Yizhou Gate Tower general recognized Li Yu's appearance and stepped forward with a smile, "Liao Hua has seen a serious Taoist priest."
Li Yu said politely: "It turns out to be General Liao. I have admired him for a long time."
Liao Hua felt that his face was bright, but he did not take it seriously, and thought that Li Yu was being polite. After all, he was not well-known and had no interaction with Taoist Li Yu, so how could he recognize him.
"I have been waiting here for a long time as ordered by the Prime Minister."
Li Yu said in surprise: "How did the Prime Minister know that I was coming?"
Liao Hua couldn't help but laugh, and Li Yu also laughed immediately. Isn't this asking for nothing? He knows how to calculate that person.
With Liao Hua leading the way, Li Yu followed them into the city and walked straight towards the palace.
"Your Majesty has hosted a banquet to entertain the Taoist priest."
Li Yu chuckled, but secretly murmured in his heart that Liu Bei was used to being thrifty on weekdays, because he wanted to set an example for his subordinates, so that they could avoid extravagance and enjoy themselves, and save manpower and material resources for the Northern Expedition.
But how can a person not have some desires, so every time he came, they had a reputation and said they were entertaining them, but every time they ate more happily than anyone else, and they sang and danced, so happy.
Li Yu has attended such banquets several times in Yizhou, and every time he feels like an outsider, unable to participate in their happiness at all.
Liu Bei danced his sword drunkenly, and Adou and Zhang Fei danced together. Everyone was drunk and dizzy, with satisfied smiles on their faces. Li Yu couldn't relate to that kind of happiness.
I guess they have been looking forward to this banquet for a long time.
Sure enough, when we arrived outside the palace, before we even stepped inside, there were already singing, dancing, and laughter inside.
Li Yu went in with a pout, and they were so outrageous that they didn't even wait. When Li Yu came in, Liu Bei stood up with a smile.
"Huh?" When he saw Li Yu, he couldn't help but ask.
A Dou rubbed his eyes and exclaimed: "Am I dazzled?"
After all, this was their first time meeting Li Yu with the Buddha's light on his head.
Li Yu found a small table by himself. Seeing that the food and wine were not touched, he guessed it was his own.
After sitting down, he said directly, "Your Majesty, Tianzhu needs to be beaten."
