Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 338 Zhongnan Mountain Immortal Plants Flowers, Ganlu Temple Taizong Tibetan Eagle

Outside Chang'an City, in the middle of Qinling Mountains, deep in Zhongnan Mountain.

A family lived in a hut with only a simple fence around it, hidden in a place surrounded by deep clouds and fog, birds hovering in the sky, and fierce tigers guarded around it.

In the fence, there are clusters of flowers and flowers in full bloom.

A woman dressed in Jingchai, her jet-black hair was wrapped in green cloth, her appearance was ordinary, but her skin was as white as ice and snow, and her temperament was fresh and refined, completely natural.

She is watering a flower.

It was a stone flower.

Chacha walked over with two small balls on her head, and she was also wearing common clothes. The difference was that her skin became darker, like a little black girl.

It's not like the essence of green tea at all, but like the essence of coal.

Chacha pinched her waist and said angrily: "Master, it's fine if we leave Xuandu Temple, why do we have to become so ugly?"

She didn't dare to wear a small white skirt anymore.

Taizhen glanced at her, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "The flowers will bloom soon, just in case, we need to hide for a while, during this period, we need to keep a low profile as much as possible."

Looking at the stone flower, Chacha wondered, "Will this stone flower really bloom? I don't think it has changed at all compared to before!"

Taizhen smiled but said, "Soon."

She stretched her waist, even though she was dressed in a plain dress, it was still hard to block the graceful arc, but it's a pity that there are few people in this place, and no one can feast their eyes on it.

"Disciple, Master is hungry."

Chacha sighed like an adult: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"It's all right."

"Then I'll make a bowl of noodles."

"no appetite."

"How about wontons?"

"I do not want to eat."

"Where's the steamed noodles?"

"so so."

Chacha bared her teeth and danced her claws and said, "Master, what do you want to eat?"

Taizhen blinked and said with a smile, "It's all fine."

Cha Cha: "..."

After a while, Chacha gave up and said helplessly: "Okay, I know you want to eat Yu's Zongzi, Cherry Biluo, Liyu, Steamed Grass Pisso Cake and Donkey Mane Hump. I will go down the mountain to buy it for you." It's all right."

With this tone, those who didn't know thought she was the elder of the family.

Taizhen smiled, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

She stretched out her jade finger and touched Chacha's eyebrows.

"The Longmen Fairy Fair will be held soon, and there are Taoist priests everywhere in Chang'an City. As a teacher, seal your aura first, so that you will not be caught by the Taoist priests."

Hearing that it was so dangerous, Chacha shrank her neck and said timidly: "How about... Master, please bear with it, and just eat the noodles."

Taizhen smiled slightly and flicked her on the head lightly.

"Go early and come back early, Master will miss you."

The next moment, Chacha flew out of Zhongnan Mountain like a shooting star, looking like she had expected to have nothing to love again...

……

Li Daoxuan left Xuandu Temple and went straight to Taiji Palace.

Since I haven't seen my senior sister, let's go and meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who will be famous through the ages.

This time I came to Chang'an, apart from secretly investigating the Moro Sect, the Longmen Fairy Association and the deification of the Tsing Yi Empress are all inseparable from Li Shimin, the core figure, and the other party generously rewarded Qilin Fuchen and Luoyue Fairy Robe, Li Daoxuan still has a good impression of it.

The closer he was to the imperial city, the more he felt the concentration of dragon energy. Li Daoxuan even faintly felt that the invisible real dragon transformed by the dragon energy was staring at him.

When the eunuch learned that it was the real person from Longhushan who came to visit, he immediately went to report.

……

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the memorial, frowning.

He doesn't seem to be resting well these days, his expression is a little haggard, and he has dark circles under his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, you have to take care of your dragon body!"

The chief eunuch next to him persuaded.

Li Shimin continued to look at the memorial, and sighed: "There is a severe drought in the capital, and the people can't drink a few sips of water every day. I am the emperor, but I can't relieve the worries of the people. Why do I want to eat?"

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, you have ordered Huazhou, Tongzhou, Fangzhou, Danzhou and other places to transfer water, and set up seventeen water supply points in Chang'an, so that the people in the city can survive the severe drought. You also set an example, the concubines in the harem, and even His Royal Highness, should not exceed one bucket of water per day!"

In his opinion, His Majesty has done a good enough job, but the drought caused by God's will and the lack of rain cannot be overcome by manpower.

Li Shimin didn't speak, he waved his hand to signal him to step back, and continued to read the memorial.

After a while, an eunuch came over, carrying a small birdcage with a small kite eagle in it.

This is a very rare bird, which looks very good and is very cute.

"Your Majesty, the birthday gift you asked me to prepare for Princess Changle a while ago is ready now."

Li Shimin walked over to look at Yaoying, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, Changle likes flowers and birds the most, so she should like this gift."

At this moment, someone outside the door reported that it was Shangshu Zuocheng Wei who asked to see him.

Li Shimin was startled, coughed, and quickly grabbed the little hawk into his sleeve, and then ordered the eunuch to hide the bird cage behind.

In order to prevent the eagle from calling, he also deliberately covered the bird's mouth.

Wei Zheng used to be the former subordinate of Li Shimin's elder brother Li Jiancheng. He even suggested that Li Jiancheng should act first and kill Li Shimin, but he was not adopted.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he found that Wei Zheng was very talented. What's more, he was proud and upright. He dared to offend Yan Zhizhi, so he was spared the death penalty and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Now he was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng.

Wei Zheng also lived up to Li Shimin's trust. He wrote letters many times and pointed out the emperor's faults in court. He was not afraid of life and death, and his words were sharp, avoiding many mistakes in decision-making.

So much so that Li Shimin is a little afraid of him now, for fear that Wei Zheng will come in and see that he is not doing political affairs, but playing with birds, and he should nagging endlessly.

A moment later, Wei Zheng entered the hall.

He was imposing, with clear eyebrows and vicious eyes, and soon discovered that the emperor had a hawk hidden in his sleeve.

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, and deliberately said a lot of miscellaneous things, until he left, two quarters had passed.

Li Shimin hurriedly took out the hawk from his sleeve, only to realize that the bird had been smothered to death, and his face darkened.

At this time, the eunuch who sent Wei Zheng away came back and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, that fellow Wei Zheng—"

Li Shimin raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

The eunuch immediately knelt down, slapped himself, and said: "It's Mr. Wei. When he left, he told the servants that His Majesty, as a king, should concentrate on political affairs, and must not fly eagles and birds... Playing with things to lose one's ambition!"

Li Shimin said lightly: "Did you tell him that this bird is just a birthday present for Changle?"

"I said it, but Master Wei said that Chang'an is currently suffering from severe drought. Your Majesty is the father of the princess, but he is also the king of the people in Chang'an. Now that the people are in dire straits, Your Majesty should be the king first and then the father."

Li Shimin's spirit was shaken, he pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath, and said: "What Wei Zheng said is so deafening, pass the order down, reward Wei Zheng with a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and a thousand taels of silver."

"promise!"

Li Shimin sighed, looking at the body of the little kite eagle in his hand, showing regret.

At this moment, the eunuch came to report again.

"Your Majesty, Longhushan Taichong Daoist seeks an audience!"
