Fish and Dragons Are Roasted and Cooked, and the Dark Night Stars Come to Visit
Chapter 515: Roasting the Fish and Dragons, Visit by Dark Star
"A reform in military tactics is imminent!" Duke Weiguo suddenly sighed.
Upon hearing this, General Tian Ce and others nodded.
Qin Mu and these thousands of scholars and the Taoist, Buddhist and Xiaoyujing masters were fooling around with some kind of soul conference. The masters were laughing and joking, thinking it was just a fun thing, but the shock it brought to the generals who were leading the troops into battle was unparalleled.
Since ancient times, battlefields have changed rapidly, and communication between leading troops in battle and the reinforcements, food and fodder behind them and the emperor has always been a major problem. In the past, Imperial Master Yan Kang built airships to allow ships to fly in the sky, built land boats, and paved roads to allow rapid travel between different places.
Its purpose, in addition to people's livelihood, is to convey messages. It is precisely because of its geographical and air advantages that the territory of Yankang State is expanding.
However, as the borders of Yankang State grew larger and its territory became more vast, it took longer and longer to transmit messages, and it also took longer and longer for the army to reach the border.
Qin Mu improved the alchemy furnace of the building ship. Although it could speed up the process, the amount of medicinal stones burned in the furnace to transmit a message was also very considerable.
If a ship sets out from the capital to the Zhentian Palace in the West, it will take several days on the road, and the medicinal stones burned would probably be enough to fight a small battle.
If it is a large-scale troop transport, it is still necessary to use exotic beasts for transportation, assisted by infantry. It is too expensive to transport troops by tower ships.
With the soul conference method of Qin Mu and others, they only need the souls to fly together to convey messages and grasp things that are happening 100,000 or 200,000 miles away.
When it comes to war, this method can almost determine the fate of the war!
"Your Majesty, Qin Jijiu used the word 'meeting', which indicates that he is plotting rebellion!"
An old minister knelt on the ground and shouted, "A meeting is a court meeting. The so-called court meeting refers to the meeting of all civil and military officials in the court. Qin Jijiu used the word "meeting" without authorization, which shows his wolfish ambition! Your Majesty, please execute him!"
Emperor Yanfeng was speechless, while other generals angrily scolded the old minister. The old minister banged his head on the ground, making a loud bang, showing his loyalty.
After a while, Emperor Yanfeng waved his hand and said slowly, "The word meeting is not exclusive to the court. You haven't read enough books. Of course, we have to say court meeting when we go to court, but it can also be used in other places. Back then, Tiandao wrote the lyrics "Yixiantian" and wrote a preface before the lyrics, saying that he met with friends at the Wei River. Tiandao is a great man in the literary world, his knowledge is a hundred times better than yours, and his articles are still praised today. He is not an emperor, and when he used the word meeting, I didn't see others saying that he was going to rebel. The ancient lyrics are used today."
The emperor helped Yu Ge Lao up and said in a friendly manner: "Yu Ge Lao, you are old. I will not kill you. I will allow you to retire and return home." Note: The word "meeting" appeared in "Records of the Grand Historian" more than 2,000 years ago, and it is possible that it was formed even earlier. It is not an imported word.
The other ministers were all puzzled: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and he didn't execute anyone. Lord Yu only lost his position but not his head, he is so lucky!"
"Everyone, please stop talking and be quiet for a moment!"
Qin Mu's voice came, and he said loudly: "Let me first verify whether the souls can communicate with each other! Can you hear me?"
Inside the Imperial Academy, there was a cacophony of voices, and countless voices said, "Yes! I can hear it clearly!"
Qin Mu asked: "When you activated your skills, did you feel any discomfort in your soul?"
There were many souls making a commotion in the Imperial Academy Hall. Suddenly, someone's soul disappeared with a bang, and suddenly appeared again after a while. It was so scary.
Some people's souls appeared and disappeared from time to time, and some people's souls floated here and there. Various laughters were heard, and the Imperial Academy was filled with smoke and noise, making people dizzy.
Qin Mu recorded the various strange phenomena, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!"
Everyone withdrew their souls and disappeared from the Imperial Academy. The first soul meeting in history ended like this.
Emperor Yanfeng turned his head and asked the historian behind him, "Did you record it?"
The historian held the thick file in his hands and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this Yuanshen meeting was just a mess led by Lord Qin and a group of scholars. They only said a few words in total, most of which were nonsense. Do we need to write them down?"
Emperor Yanfeng sighed, pointed at the scroll he used to record the court's important events, and said earnestly: "If, thousands of years later, future generations read the history of Yankang and search through all the history books, but cannot find the record of the first Yuanshen Conference, they will poke your spine and scold you! Not only must you remember it, but you must also draw it, draw the Yuanshen Conference!"
The historian's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he hurriedly recorded the first soul meeting of Qin Mu and others, and also recorded the words said by Qin Mu and others. He felt very aggrieved in his heart: "These words are obviously nonsense. Will people in the future scold me for such a small matter? But if I don't write it down, your majesty will kill me..."
Another hour passed and Qin Mu came back from thousands of miles away. Other scholars also rushed back to Taixue Academy. Everyone was noisy and lively. Qin Mu summoned masters who were proficient in numerology to calculate the shortcomings of the skills based on the various visions he had recorded.
After a while, the technique approached perfection, and there was no more phenomenon of the soul escaping.
Qin Mu and many scholars climbed up to the Imperial Academy Hall again, modified the erroneous rune imprints, and worked for a long time. Then, they ran out quickly and tried to have their souls leave their bodies and come to the gathering. This time, there were no strange phenomena of the souls.
Emperor Yanfeng never left, and waited quietly for him until dark. As the emperor did not leave, the civil and military officials did not dare to leave either, and could only stand there.
After Qin Mu finished his work, he asked the secretary of Tianlu Tower to record the skills and rune marks. Emperor Yanfeng then stepped forward and said, "Qin Dajiu has made great contributions to the country. How should I reward you?"
Qin Mu stretched his body lazily and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty wants to reward, then reward everyone in the Imperial Academy with a dinner. This technique is not my own creation, but it was created by gathering everyone's wisdom."
"good!"
Emperor Yanfeng ordered: "Invite all the people in the imperial kitchen in the palace to come here, and let them bring the food. I want to reward all the scholars in the Imperial Academy, as well as these Taoists and monks! If there are not enough people, invite the chefs from the officials' homes to come here! I will also dine here and eat with them!"
The lights in the Imperial Academy were brightly on. I'm afraid all the chefs in the government offices in the entire capital city had been invited to the Imperial Academy to make fires and cook. They all showed off their best skills and used their best abilities to fry, stir-fry, roast, stir-fry, boil, blanch, blanch, steam, stew, simmer, braise, stew, and braise... All kinds of skills were displayed, which were like the magical powers of each family, and were dazzling.
The various aromas and flavors in the Imperial Academy aroused the appetite, and the emperor ordered people to go to the palace to bring in fine wine to entertain everyone.
"Does your martial arts have a name?" Emperor Yanfeng asked sideways at the banquet.
Qin Mu shook his head, and Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said, "The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. Why not call it the Three Yuan Divine Meeting Secret? What do you think, Qin Aiqing?"
Before Qin Mu could answer, Gu Li Nuan and a group of ministers praised loudly: "Your Majesty is extremely talented. We admire you very much!"
Emperor Yanfeng laughed loudly, confirmed the name of the technique, and then asked, "Qin Aiqing, what are those runes and marks you drew in the Imperial Academy Hall for?"
Qin Mu said: "Your Majesty, the rune imprint is to guide the direction of the soul. The soul is too fast and can travel thousands of miles in an instant. With the rune imprint, we can attract the souls of the participants."
Emperor Yanfeng frowned and said, "This kind of rune can attract the soul, won't it be used by the enemy? If the enemy uses this rune to lure the souls of my Yankang generals who are attending the meeting and capture them all in one fell swoop, won't my Yankang army be wiped out?"
All the civil and military officials were awe-inspiring and nodded their heads.
Xu Shenghua leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. The runes we designed can be interchanged. The runes have different permutations and combinations, which match the Three Yuan Divine Association Technique. The number of combinations is billions of times more than that of your Majesty's subjects. Such a complex rune sequence cannot be cracked."
Emperor Yanfeng was deeply moved.
A Taoist priest ran over and glanced at Qin Mu who was standing next to the emperor. He bravely said, "Your Majesty, a fox brought a big pig and a big box to the lake and caught two red dragon carp kings. They are grilling them by the lake. It's so annoying!"
"This style sounds familiar to me."
Emperor Yanfeng looked at Qin Mu and said with a smile, "Qin Aiqing, yours?"
Qin Mu's face turned slightly red, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, I will rush over and punish them severely! They are really fooling around!" After that, he stood up and left.
He came to the lakeside, where Hu Ling'er was scolding the box: "Look, it was you who made big waves and alarmed the Taoist guarding the lake! You will eat fish bones later! Long Pang, turn down the fire a little, don't burn it..."
Qin Mu walked forward and said with a smile: "Leave some for me."
Hu Ling'er cheered, then quickly lowered her voice and said with a smile, "Sir, I know you like to eat this kind of fish, so I asked Fatty Long to catch two, but the box was not good enough, and when it was hidden in its stomach, it was discovered by the Taoist guarding the lake."
Qin Mu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I have been wanting to eat a few more meals for a long time, but I was too embarrassed to steal."
The fish was cooked. Hu Ling'er used the wind blade to cut the fish and gave one portion to Long Qilin, one portion to Qin Mu, and one portion to herself. She lay beside them, waiting attentively for them to finish eating so that she could collect the fish bones.
Suddenly, a voice laughed and said, "It smells so good! Much better than the imperial meal! Master Qin is indeed an expert in food, leave some for me!"
Qin Mu looked back and saw that it was a demon ape and a young monk who came. The monk was the young monk Mingxin. When he smelled the fragrance, his appetite was excited.
Hu Ling'er gave him a piece of fish. Qin Mu saw Mingxin wolfing it down and wondered, "Do monks eat meat, too?"
Ming Xin said without even looking up, "After I left the leader last time, there were natural disasters and man-made calamities. Not only fish and meat, I also ate tree bark and caught insects to eat. When I was extremely hungry, I cut my own flesh and fed myself..."
He lifted his robe, revealing a scar on his chest. He smiled and said, "Since then, I have realized my own sutra. All living things are not just humans and monsters, but also plants, trees, and insects. However, all living things are in a cycle of reincarnation. I eat them, and after I die, they eat me. That's all. People are struggling in the cycle of reincarnation in the sea of suffering. What they seek is not Buddha, but the other shore in their hearts. I have already seen the other shore."
Qin Mu thought about his words and smiled, "Good, your state of mind is very high."
Hu Ling'er cut another piece of fish and handed it to the demon ape, who shook his head and said, "Su, Zhuang!"
"He doesn't want to eat it, give it to me." A hand reached out and took the fish.
Taoist Master Lin Xuan sat next to the demon ape and said with a smile: "This fish is even more delicious than the imperial meal!"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "You are also a monk, and you eat meat?"
Taoist Master Lin Xuan ate meat in big mouthfuls and said in a muffled voice: "The sky is fake, how can monks be real?"
"You herder, you are eating my father's fish again!"
A fragrant breeze blew over. Ling Yuxiu pushed Hu Ling'er, who was beside Qin Mu, aside and sat down. She clapped her hands and tore off a large piece of fish. She took a bite without caring about the burn, inhaled with a hiss, and praised, "Fragrant, really fragrant!"
"Princess Xiu, wait for me!"
Si Yunxiang also ran over and sat down around the campfire, trying to push Hu Ling'er aside. Hu Ling'er suddenly turned into a little girl of six or seven years old, crossed her arms, sat angrily between the two girls, and refused to get up. Si Yunxiang was embarrassed to push her away, so she had to let her sit there.
Everyone was talking and laughing, sharing the Red Dragon Carp King. After a while, Wang Muran, Mu Qingdai, Long Yu and Xu Shenghua also came over. Wang Muran smiled and said, "You can't finish two such big king fish. Let us help you. No need to thank me!"
Qin Mu looked around and said with a smile: "It's rare for the Heavenly Alliance to gather together, so we should not leave until we are drunk today!"
"What Heavenly Alliance?"
Ling Yuxiu was puzzled and asked quickly, "Are you planning to overthrow my father? If so, count me in!"
Xu Shenghua, Lin Xuan and Wang Muran hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth. Qin Mu said, "No one present is an outsider, so tell the truth. But as we said, you are also members of our Tianmeng. Who doesn't want to listen?"
Long Qilin quickly stood up, bit the box, and dragged it away while he was about to pick up the fish bones.
"The less you know, the longer you live!" Fat Long taught Box.
Suddenly, the campfire flickered, and a young man sitting opposite Qin Mu reached out and tore off a piece of fish meat, saying leisurely: "I also want to know what the Heavenly Alliance is. Please teach me, Great Doctor Qin."
Qin Mu was horrified and looked quickly towards the top of the mountain of Tai Academy.
"All the civil and military officials in the court are capable of fighting me. Your emperor is very strong and he probably built a divine bridge."
The young man opposite said calmly: "But before they arrive, you will all become corpses. Doctor Qin, don't act rashly, let's talk about the Heavenly Alliance."
