General Hua handed over the yellow silk scroll: "Master, see for yourself."
Li Muchan took it, and his tentacles were soft and silky, just like the skin of a beautiful woman. He slowly unfolded it and saw that it was indeed an imperial edict.
Today's Emperor Dayan is open-minded and does not have strict etiquette. He does not need the ancestors of later generations to offer imperial edicts, nor does he need to kneel down to listen to edicts.
Li Muchan frowned. The imperial edict was written in parallel prose. It was gorgeous and majestic, but it was incomprehensible and could make people faint.
He read it twice and vaguely understood it. He was granted the title of General Dingyuan, and was given a general's palace in the capital, a baron, a flying dragon jade pendant, and ten thousand taels of gold. He went to the capital to summon him.
"What reward did the general receive?" Li Muchan carefully put it away and asked with a smile.
General Hua chuckled and said: "I have entered the first rank, Zhenyuan Bo."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Congratulations, General."
Nowadays, the title of Dayan is in the sixth level. Compared with the position, the title can be inherited from generation to generation, and the wife is more precious and difficult to obtain.
It's hard to get, and even harder to get promoted, especially the higher up you go, the harder it is to get promoted. Often, even after several generations of hard work, you can't get any further.
Today's marquises and uncles are all granted by the founding of the country. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Dayan dynasty, there have been almost no Jin uncles. General Hua is considered the first.
General Hua shook his head and said: "The first achievement in this battle is the master's. I just followed it to get a small advantage...the master's reward is amazing. General Dingyuan is a fifth-rank upper-rank, and the baron is a fourth-rank peer. It's nothing."
, the important thing is the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant.”
Li Muchan asked: "What's so mysterious about the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant?"
"This flying dragon jade pendant is a good thing!" General Hua praised and said: "With this pendant, you can freely enter and exit the forbidden palace without anyone blocking you, and you can meet the saints at any time."
General Hua continued: "Anyone who wears this pendant, except the guards of the Forbidden Palace, has no right to arrest, no one has the right to kill, and any offender will be punished by his clan."
Li Muchan was speechless: "Isn't it like a gold medal if I'm here in person!"
With this pendant, only the emperor can kill him, no one can kill him, it is really majestic.
General Hua said: "With this pendant, I will not kneel when I see anyone, and I will even be given a seat in front of the emperor."
Li Muchan frowned: "Isn't this reward too heavy?"
Being given a seat in front of the emperor is a great honor. It is usually reserved for ministers with high virtues and high prestige. They have experienced several generations of veterans. How can I hold an equal seat with these veterans?
It was just one battle. Although his achievements were great, they were not great compared to those generals who had experienced hundreds of battles. He really did not deserve such an honor.
General Hua smiled and said: "It's nothing. We have been at war with Eastern Chu and Western Zhao in recent years. Although we have had small fights, we have always been suppressed and focused on defense. We have never had such a great victory."
Li Muchan nodded. Although Dayan was prosperous, its military strength was not strong. Firstly, because of its worship of Buddhism, although the martial arts was strong, the bloody spirit was not enough. It focused too much on being reasonable. Secondly, the geographical environment was not good and it did not produce good horses.
In this era, a good horse is like a tank of later generations on the battlefield, with infinite power. Without a horse, it is a fatal flaw.
It is impossible for Dong Chu and Western Zhao to let horses flow into Dayan. For hundreds of years, Dayan has been solving the problem of not lacking horses. It is at war with the two countries and has inherent deficiencies. It can only defend but not attack.
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "The general must have praised me so much. I'm really ashamed."
General Hua smiled and said: "This is the master's first achievement in this battle. This is no false boast. Come on, follow me to get the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant. Eunuch Li from the Forbidden Palace has been waiting for two days."
He turned around and lifted the curtain out of the tent, with Li Muchan following behind him: "Hmm -?"
General Hua paced with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "The Flying Dragon Jade Pendant cannot be given to others, it must be presented in person."
Li Muchan nodded softly. The two tents were adjacent to each other, and he entered General Hua's tent in a few steps. Sitting inside was an old man in rich clothes with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. His skin was as red as a baby's, and his eyes were soft and kind.
He was sitting in a chair, sipping tea, squinting his eyes slightly, looking calm and serene, holding a whisk in his hand, as silver as his hair.
Seeing General Hua come in, he put down his tea cup, stood up, and said with a smile: "General Hua, is this Master Mingkong?"
"Eunuch Li, he is Master Mingkong." General Hua said with a smile.
Eunuch Li flicked the fly whisk and said, "Sure enough, this young man is an outstanding young man. Our family is well-mannered, Master Mingkong."
Li Muchan smiled and returned the courtesy: "Eunuch Li, I don't dare to do this."
He was surprised. He didn't expect Eunuch Li to be so polite. As an eunuch in the Royal Forbidden City, it was inevitable to be arrogant when he saw a high-ranking official. It was rare to see him be so humble, so he started to use his mind.
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "The Holy One has always praised the master and said that the master is a rare talent. We are lucky enough to meet him today. It is better to meet him than to be famous. He is indeed very majestic!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid Eunuch Li will be disappointed."
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Our family has seen many heroes and heroes. The master is as calm as water. He really has the demeanor of a great monk."
Li Muchan felt that his heart was calm and calm, and he secretly admired Eunuch Li for his profound cultivation and his superb martial arts skills.
Li Muchan said a few polite words, neither humble nor arrogant.
Eunuch Li inserted the fly whisk into his waist, took out a small yellow satin bag from his arms, unfolded it gently, revealing a ball of shining white light.
As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the three people.
It is a jade pendant the size of a palm, but it is not like ordinary jade pendants. Ordinary jade pendants have a warm luster, yet are simple and peaceful.
The luster of this piece of jade pendant is much brighter. It seems that there is a pool of autumn water inside the jade pendant, and the waves are flowing, making the yellow satin shine brighter.
General Hua opened his eyes and exclaimed: "What a wonderful jade! ... It is worthy of the gift from the Holy One!"
Li Muchan stared at the jade pendant, thoughtfully, and his expression gradually became serious.
He felt that Jade Perry actually contained huge power, as majestic and majestic as a mountain or a sea, and he couldn't help but feel insignificant.
Slowly, he unconsciously resisted this pressure, and the gray monk's robe slowly rose up, without any wind, and his expression was solemn and solemn.
General Hua was surprised and turned to look at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li nodded and smiled, looking at Li Muchan with a smile.
"Eunuch Li, is this...?" General Hua asked.
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Master Mingkong is indeed an eminent monk, with profound spiritual practice and wonderful understanding of Buddhism. This jade pendant was given to the master, and it is well deserved!"
"Eunuch Li, what is it?" General Hua was puzzled.
Eunuch Li smiled and said slowly: "This flying dragon pendant has been blessed by eminent monks for generations. To us ordinary people, it just clears the mind and calms the mind, wards off evil spirits and protects the gods. But to the eminent Buddhist monks, it is different."
,…it’s really different.”
"That's it!" General Hua suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "Although the master is young, he has practiced deeply. He is really good, right?"
"General Hua has a sharp eye, and we admire him!" Eunuch Li said with a smile.
Although Buddhist practice pays attention to the roots and bones, it also requires years. Some Buddhist principles require years of understanding and hard thinking before they can be gained. Buddhist monks live for many years.
Even if a person is born with spiritual wisdom, without tempering over time, his wisdom is ultimately insufficient and it is difficult for him to become an eminent monk.
"A-Mi-Tuo-Buddha-!" Li Muchan suddenly announced the Buddha's name, and the whole tent trembled like a drum at dusk and a bell at dawn.
General Hua and Eunuch Li suddenly felt a stream of clear water pouring from their heads, cleansing their bodies. The tackiness around them suddenly disappeared, and their hearts were filled with peace and joy.
The gray monk's robe returned to its original shape. Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly and looked calm.
Eunuch Li and General Hua were immersed in an unspeakable state and did not want to speak for a moment. The entire tent became quiet, and the sounds of footsteps and noises in the distance could be clearly heard.
After the tea time passed, General Hua woke up and sighed: "It's really a song of enlightenment. I woke up in three lifetimes. The master has such powerful Buddhist magical powers!"
Eunuch Li also woke up and sighed: "He is really an eminent monk!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "General, Eunuch Li, with a little bit of skill, he cannot reach the level of elegance."
Eunuch Li stared at Li Muchan and sighed: "This is not a mediocre skill. The master is so young but has such a level of cultivation. It is really unusual. Not even the eminent Buddhist monks in Shengyin Temple have such magical powers!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "The eminent monks of Shengyin Temple disdain to show their supernatural powers, but they are not without them. Miraculous powers are an obstacle and cannot be pursued in Buddhist practice, otherwise it will be difficult to transcend."
Eunuch Li said with a smile: "Master, just take the jade pendant."
Li Muchan took it with both hands, and the tentacles were warm. The cool breath penetrated from the palms of his hands straight into his heart, and then transferred to his mind. It really had the effect of calming the mind and clearing the brain.
Eunuch Li solemnly said: "With this pendant, the master can directly meet the Holy One. Except for the Holy One's personal decree and the guards from the forbidden palace, no one has the right to detain the master. The power is very great. I hope the master will act with caution."
Li Muchan nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Li returned to his smiling face: "General Hua, Master Mingkong, let's go first. We still have to go to Shenwu Camp. You two should leave for Beijing as soon as possible...Master has been transferred to Beijing and given the General's Mansion. Where is General Hua?"
, I want to see you in person."
The two agreed, and Eunuch Li shook off his fly whisk, said goodbye and left.
Li Muchan had a few words with General Hua and agreed to leave for the capital in two days. Even if the horse was fast, it would take half a month.
Li Muchan agreed and returned to the tent with the jade pendant, wanting to study it carefully.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding the radiant jade pendant in his hand, his inner energy was flowing like silk, and he frowned slowly, not noticing anything strange.
So I removed my inner strength, closed my eyes, and observed with the eyes of the void. There were faint ripples around the jade pendant, as if a leaf was thrown into the water.
He studied over and over again, but in the end he didn't come up with anything. He only felt that there was majestic power in it, but he couldn't touch it.
He simply stopped thinking about it. When the time came, he would naturally understand it.
In the early morning of the third day, the sun had just risen and the air was fresh. Li Muchan and General Hua left Shenguang Camp together and headed south to the capital.
Surrounded by a hundred knights, wearing bright armor, all in high spirits, guarding General Hua and Li Muchan one after another, Ji Wuming and seven others were personal guards, forming a circular formation to surround the two people.
