The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 235 Kongming Lantern

Zhao Dongting is not a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor does he want to pursue perfection in everything, but he wants to do his best.

Since others can do it with the method of breaking the tiger pillar with will, then he can do it too.

He tilted his head and asked the drunken little Taoist next to him, "How long will it take to break the tiger's pillar?"

The little Taoist said: "If it is less than a moment, if it is more, it will be a lifetime."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, "How to break it?"

The little Taoist said: "Destroy emptiness with will."

Zhao Dongting smashed his mouth, got up and walked into the house.

The little Taoist lay on his back, patted his chubby belly and looked at the night sky, muttering, "Is it true that the emperor can create a foundation for all generations and reach the pinnacle of martial arts?"

He fell asleep in a daze.

Yinger asked the eunuch to help the little Taoist priest down, and asked someone to tidy up the messy yard. Instead of going to Zhao Dongting's room, Ying Er went to sleep with Yue Wu and Zhang Ru.

She knew what Zhao Dongting wanted to do when he went back to the room suddenly, and she didn't want to disturb him.

So the past few days.

The little Taoist Lai stayed in the palace.

Apart from getting up early in the morning to practice sword intent and swordsmanship, Zhao Dongting shut himself in the broken tiger pillar in the room, living in a simple way.

At this time, in his lower dantian, above the 36 acupoints surrounded by nebula, there is a foggy place that looks like a meridian.

This is Huzhu.

Breaking falsehood probably means making this foggy place clear.

Zhao Dongting tried to use his inner qi to attack the tiger pillar, but the effect was negligible. There was not much movement in the foggy place, but it could be seen that the inner qi was still effective.He knew how to break the tiger pillar, so he no longer used his inner energy to test it, but used his will to break through as the little Taoist said.

Will is something that is easy to say but mysterious.

How to break with will?

Naturally, it is necessary to use the mind and the eyes of the heart to break through this falsehood.

But the thoughts are empty, but the foggy things in the body are real.One can imagine the difficulty of breaking through Huzhu with willpower.

So, after a few days, Zhao Dongting did not achieve any results.Huzhu is still the same.

This made him murmur a little.

That night, he came out of the room rarely, and said to the eunuch outside the door: "Go and announce Bai Yuchan."

The little Taoist who lived not far from the bedroom was quickly brought over.

He stared at Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, you won't break the tiger pillar so quickly, will you?"

Zhao Dongting was a little upset immediately, "Is the method you said to break the tiger's pillar with will really true? Why can't I see any results after a few days?"

The little Taoist said: "The poor Taoist also saw it in the scriptures. In the past, there were indeed people who broke the tiger's pillar with will."

Zhao Dongting got angry, "In the past? What about now?"

The little Taoist raised his eyes to look at the sky, "Now... probably there are too!"

"roll!"

Zhao Dongting also rewarded the little Taoist with the word, then turned around and went back to the room.

The little Taoist didn't roll away, but said shyly, "Your Majesty, let's combine work and rest, how about relaxing first?"

He really fell in love with the taste of Zhao Dongting's barbecue, so much so that he didn't feel much taste while eating the imperial food in the palace these days.

Probably the grilled bamboo rat was the first delicacy he ate in his life, so he never forgot it.

Zhao Dongting stopped in his tracks, then turned his head and shouted to the eunuch in the courtyard: "Go and get Zhen's barbecue grill."

He also understands that it seems that wanting to break the tiger column with will is not something that can be achieved only by penance.This, probably also needs a chance?

Soon, the courtyard was filled with fragrance again.

Ying Er, Zhang Ru and Le Wu also smelled the fragrance in the room and walked out of the room.

Not long after, Zhao Dongting suddenly saw dozens of Kongming lanterns in the night sky when he looked up.

He asked puzzledly, "What day is it today? Why would someone put a Kongming lantern?"

In this day and age, apart from some major festivals, few people usually put up Kongming lanterns.

Yinger said softly: "Your Majesty, it's already the Dragon Boat Festival."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, then nodded, "So it's already Dragon Boat Festival..."

His voice was a bit somber, but Yinger and Bai Yuchan couldn't understand it.I don't know why Zhao Dongting will suddenly feel emotional.

It turned out that he had been in the Southern Song Dynasty for more than three years before he knew it...

More than three years, it is not long, but it is definitely not short.He and this place have formed a deep bond.

Looking at the Kongming lanterns slowly rising in the night sky, Zhao Dongting's mood suddenly drifted away.

He didn't know where to start, but the number of times he recalled his previous life became less and less, unlike when he first came to the Southern Song Dynasty, he often thought of modern society.

In modern society, few people know how to put Kongming lanterns.At this time, is it just when night falls in the city?

Ying'er looked at Zhao Dongting in a daze for a long time, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing."

However, his eyes were still fixed on those Kongming lanterns.

Le Wu grinned, "The emperor must be thinking about my sister again, right?"

Ying Er's eyes were slightly sad when she heard this.

Although she grew up in ancient education, the ability to be jealous is actually a human innate ability.

She understood that she could never fill Le Chan's position in the emperor's heart.Without Le Chan, the emperor's heart was still missing.

Zhao Dongting shook his head.

At this time, he really wasn't thinking about Le Chan.Just looking at the Kongming Lantern, I suddenly felt inspired.

air force!

Although relying on firearms now, the Southern Song army is already extremely powerful in ground combat, but the Yuan army is huge in number, and there is still a lot of pressure after all.

But if there is an air force, the situation should be different, right?
Zhao Dongting thought of hot air balloons.

Isn't the Kongming Lantern the predecessor of the hot air balloon?

Surprise appeared in his eyes, and he shouted to the eunuchs in the courtyard: "Go to Xu Shangshu of Xuanjun Science Department and Li Shangshu of Military Industry Department to see me immediately."

The eunuch showed a slightly perplexed look, but still took the order, and quickly ran out of the courtyard.

Zhao Dongting looked up at the Kongming lanterns in the sky again, and laughed.

However, after laughing a few times, his brows froze again.

Hot air balloons are not high-tech, what if Yuan Jun learns from them?Will it cause trouble?
Ying'er, Zhang Ru, the little Taoist priest, and Le Wu looked at Zhao Dongting with puzzled faces, wondering if the emperor had a convulsion?
Among them, Yinger was the most worried. She was really worried that Zhao Dongting would return to his original appearance.

If he becomes a kid who only knows how to play, what will happen to Southern Song Dynasty?Will he still treat himself like this now?
In the past, Zhao Shi only had a sister-like attachment to her, instead of a faint affection like now.

But what reassured her was that Zhao Dongting quickly recovered, and said with a smile, "Come, come, continue to eat."

He can't care so much anymore, no matter whether Yuan Jun will learn from the hot air balloon or not, he has to get over the current difficulties first.If this battle cannot be won, it will be very difficult for the Southern Song Dynasty to have a chance to turn around, and then everything will be empty talk.

Not long after, Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun, who were sleepy and blurred, were brought over.

People in this era go to bed very early, and Yinger and the others are still awake at this time, which is also influenced by Zhao Dongting.

Think about it, in this era, when the sun sets, the sky is completely dark, and there is no TV, no mobile phone, what else can we do if we don’t sleep?
Studying hard in the cold window, chiseling the wall to steal the light, those are the things that the poor students do.Ministers like Xu Yuesong and the others obviously don't have that kind of elegance.

In the yard, the two saluted Zhao Dongting and stood obediently.

Zhao Dongting pointed to the Kongming Lantern in the sky and said, "Maybe the two adults can make a very large Kongming Lantern? The one that can bear hundreds of catties."

Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun were a little confused.

The Kongming Lantern, which bears hundreds of catties, is undoubtedly beyond the imagination of the two of them.

Kongming lanterns are made of paper, and they are so small, how can they bear hundreds of catties?

Zhao Dongting looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said, "You can use cloth as a lampshade. Go back and try."

Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun looked at each other, thinking that this might be possible, they glanced at Zhao Dongting in surprise, and then took orders to leave.

They really don't understand where there are so many weird ideas in the emperor's mind.

The smelting method, thunderbolt, and grenades are all things that they had never even thought about before.Could it be that it was really taught by a god in a dream?
Le Wu looked at the Kongming Lantern with bright eyes, full of expectation: "Does the emperor want to play with the Kongming Lantern?"

Zhao Dongting said: "You can also play, but if you can really make it, you have to let the Yuan army have a taste first."

If the hot air balloon is really made, he will never let this kind of big killer be revealed before the war.

Think about it, when the Yuan army set up their battle formations or set up their camp, countless hot air balloons suddenly flew above, and mines fell like rain from above. That scene... I can't imagine it.
