Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 430 Please build a seven-star altar, the poor will borrow the east wind

On the edge of the Yangtze River near Tangying, a handsome Taoist priest in white was stepping on Yu steps, muttering something, and then waved his hand, and a talisman appeared at his fingertips.

"Tai Shang Lao Jun is in a hurry, like the law, go!"

Standing by the riverside, King Zhaojun Li Xiaogong watched Kong Qing wave his hand, and threw the talismans into the river lightly, then those talismans sank quickly and disappeared as if they had come to life.

"OK! Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!"

After throwing the last talisman into the river, Kong Qing clapped his hands together and said relaxedly.

"Now we are waiting for the Taihu God and the others to come to help us..."

Li Xiaogong who was standing on the side did not have such a relaxed mind as Kong Qing, he whispered a little worried.

"Qingwei, will those gods come to help in the battle? Doesn't it mean that gods are not willing to intervene in the dragon struggle..."

"Your Majesty, 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 and the gods of Jianghuai have more or less made friends with each other, and they will not reject 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 is an exiled immortal, and he is so confident, then it should be reliable!

"correct……"

Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand, and pointed to a flat place by the river.

"I also invite the king of the county to imitate the old things of Zhuge in the past and build a seven-star altar here, complete with flags and banners. The poor Taoist should do it on the stage, so as to borrow the east wind to help the king of the county defeat the enemy!"

Li Xiaogong blinked silently, with a confused expression on his face.

"Qingwei, what are you talking about about Zhuge's old affairs? And what do you mean by borrowing the east wind?"

At this time, whether it was Li Xiaogong, or Li Jing, or even the rest of the generals standing behind them, such as Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, Zhang Zhenzhou, the governor of Shuzhou, Li Daliang, the pacifier, Zuo Nandang, the governor of Youzhou, and Quan Quan, the deputy commander of the marching army. Wen Dan and the others didn't notice that there was a colorful little fish swimming in the river near them.

"Don't King Zhao know the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind in the Battle of Chibi? This is a long story..."

Kong Qing turned sideways, eyes drooping, silently glanced at the fish, and then said to Li Xiaogong.

"On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu found out that the wind was in the wrong direction and he couldn't attack with fire, so he was very disappointed. At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and built a seven-star altar in Nanping Mountain. It was nine feet high and divided into three floors. With his hair on and his sword in hand, he borrowed a strong southeast wind for three days and three nights from the sky, and then he defeated Cao..."

"Qingwei, what are you talking about!"

Before Li Xiaogong could speak, Li Jing, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it anymore.

"During the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang was still in Xiakou, how could he go to Jiangdong to borrow some wind..."

"This is the pharmacist, you don't know."

Kong Qing replied solemnly.

"Zhuge Liang studied heaven and man. He not only mastered Confucianism, Taoism, strategists, Mohism, and other schools of thought, but also became a Daoist real person. Naturally, the mere flying skills cannot be difficult for him, so the Chibi War 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 in secret, you don't know.

So, some people should not think that it is a problem that they know Taoism. In fact, he is far behind Zhuge Liang. "

The veins on Li Jing's forehead twitched.

Mingming and Qingwei are connoting him, but because Li Xiaogong is on the side, he can't refute it yet.

I'm so pissed!
"So that's how it is!"

Li Xiaogong who was standing on the side was also startled by Kong Qing's story of "borrowing the east wind". He squirmed his lips twice, and finally spit out a sentence dryly.

"The lonely king is really ignorant..."

After barely speaking half a sentence, Li Xiaogong immediately changed the topic to serious business.

"Qingwei, I dare to ask you what the shape of the Seven Star Altar is, and what patterns are needed for the flags and flags, so that the lonely king can arrange for people to do it."

"this one?"

Kong Qing tapped his face lightly with the white jade whisk in his hand, and said thoughtfully.

"If you want to build an altar, you can take the terracotta soil in the southeast of this place. The circle of the altar is 24 feet, and each layer is three feet high, which is nine feet in total. The first layer uses 28 constellation flags, which are divided into four colors, blue, white, and red. In the shape of the upper 28 constellations, the middle layer has 64 yellow flags, which are divided into eight positions according to the 64 hexagrams. In addition, only two long poles are needed, and the seven star belts are hung on it."

Li Xiaogong thought about it in his mind, building an altar is fine, but for the flags, you can use the flags in the army by changing them. The ones made from scratch have two seven-star belts, but those things are also simple.

"it is good!"

Li Xiaogong nodded and replied without hesitation.

"Gu, go back and make arrangements. Tomorrow... the day after tomorrow at the latest, Qingwei will definitely let you see this Seven Stars Terrace."

"good!"

Kong Qing nodded slightly, and looked in the direction of Queyue City opposite.

"Then I will leave this matter to King Zhaojun. When the Seven Star Altar is completed, the poor will go to the altar to borrow the east wind to help the king's navy go down the current and go straight to Queyue City. When the time comes, there will be a navy army." As a cover, presumably the county king's tiger ben will surely be able to take over Liangshan in one go."

"What's the use of just having the east wind..."

Quan Wendan, a dark-skinned deputy commander of the army standing aside, asked suspiciously.

"Isn't the key now the Hengjiang iron chains on the river? Could it be that Master Qingwei's east wind can break the iron chains?"

"Director Quan, don't worry!"

Kong Qing calmly shook the whisk in his hand.

"Under the east wind of the poor road, mere things like iron chains are not worth mentioning!"

After hearing Kong Qing's words, the remaining generals looked at the chains floating in the river with puzzled faces.

No matter how powerful the east wind borrowed by this Taoist priest, could it still break those iron chains, or could it be said that he planned to set off a huge wave and smash the iron chains?
But this seems unlikely!

However, because of the act of hanging up a certain governor for a disagreement with a Taoist priest yesterday, these generals, including Quan Wensheng, all stopped their mouths very well and did not continue to question.

Anyway, when fighting, the navy is the first to attack. If the Hengjiang iron chain is solved, it will be good for the navy to rush forward.But even if it can't be solved, the navy will not lose anything if it turns around the river for nothing.

Because of such a trivial matter, it's not worth risking being hung up to get serious with this Taoist priest.

At this moment, the colorful little fish swayed and swam towards the deep water.Standing on the shore, Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand, watched the little fish leave with the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The little fish swayed and dived all the way. After swimming hundreds of feet forward, it came to the front of a huge cave in the middle of the river.

At the bottom of the dark river, this cave revealed a faint light, as if it was lit with lights.

The colorful fish swung its body and swam in from the cave. The cave was very spacious, just like a human house, and it was divided into a main hall and a guest room. with a soft glow.

In the largest and brightest cave, there is a wide coiled thing like a white belt, which is crystal clear and shines, and is still falling together with the water flow.

The colorful little fish rolled in the water and turned into a man in a brocade robe. He knelt down to the white belt and said hastily.

"Your Majesty! A great disaster..."

Following his voice, I saw the white belt trembled, and then a thing that was still as white as snow but shaped like a bull's head protruded from the place where the white belts joined each other.

The next moment, Bai Niutou's eyes opened, shining brightly, like two night pearls.

"What did you say... What a big disaster?"

"Your Majesty..."

After seeing the white bull head in front of him open his eyes, the man in brocade robe didn't dare to neglect, and immediately continued.

"A Taoist priest came from Tang Jun's side. Just now, he was flying amulets one after another by the river, saying that he wanted to call gods like the water god of Taihu Lake to come to Tang Jun's help."

"What nonsense..."

After hearing this sentence, the body of Bai Liandai on the opposite side trembled, his mouth opened wide, and he burst out laughing.

"Taihu Lake Dragon Lord was driven away a few months ago. Where did the Taihu Lake Water God come from again? This Taoist priest is clearly a pretentious person who pretends to be a ghost. What else did he say?"

The brocade-robed man thought for a while and replied.

"He also said that he would build a dharma altar by the riverside by Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind during the Battle of Chibi, and then borrow the east wind to help the Tang army's navy break through the iron chains and rush straight to the city of Keyue."

"Oh……"

After hearing his words, Bai Lian took a moment to ponder.

"I've heard Zhuge Liang's name before, and it seems very powerful. Naturally, imitating his method should not be underestimated, but I don't understand these Taoist things, so let's go! I'd better go to Qiyue City and discuss it with Brother Hou. "

As he said that, the white training belt trembled, and his body shot out like a crossbow arrow. He rushed out of the cave along the water flow, then swayed all the way up, and rushed up towards the river.

Whoa!

After a loud noise, this thing that looked like a white belt rushed out of the river, its slender body hovered in the air, and turned into a man wearing a white gauze hat, black trousers, and a white robe. young people.

Swish!
After the young man's body rolled in the air, he landed on the iron chain of Hengjiang River, and then, like a stroll in the garden, he stepped on the iron chain and walked in the direction of Keyue City.

Before he could reach the river, he heard a vigilant voice from the river ahead.

"Who?"

"Can't you even hear a certain Bait's voice?"

The man in white didn't panic at all, and continued to walk forward while raising his voice.

"Go and inform Brother Hou, and say that a certain person is here to find him!"

　The story of Zhuge Liang borrowing the Dongfeng did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, Du Mu would not have written in his poems "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply". It can be seen that the generally accepted saying at that time was The Battle of Chibi is due to Zhou Lang, and has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.

　　The Song Dynasty was similar, Su Poxian's Nian Nujiao Chibi nostalgia for the battle of Chibi was also credited to Zhou Yu's name. While laughing, the mast and scull were wiped out. '

　　And the amazing story of Borrowing the East Wind should have appeared in the late Song Dynasty or even the early Yuan Dynasty, because it first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty script "Three Kingdoms", and when Luo Guanzhong was writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Lots of references to this book.

　　In addition, the white special that appeared today comes from "Chaoye Qianzai", which was written by Zhang Wei in the Tang Dynasty.

　　Zhang Hao said so in the book. He said that someone saw a shovel washing a horse in Luoshui. After a while, he saw something like a white belt, an aurora crystal, and handed the shovel three or two turns, and he fell into the water and died.

　　Later, Zhang Zhuo investigated and found that this white belt was found in all water and between bays and berths.People often bathe or wash the dead horse.At that time, there was a saying that the deceased was seduced by turtles, but it was not.He said that this murderous thing is called Bai Te, and it is like a jiao, and those who go to the river to take a bath must be careful about this thing.
