Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 106 The Exorcism Begins
"Brother Baolin!"

Just when an unstoppable thought sprouted in Li Chengqian's mind, Yang Xiaoran's cry brought him back to his senses from his own thinking world.

Yuchi Baolin came to Yang Xiaoran, bowed to Li Chengqian before sitting down.

"Sister Yaoxiang, did you bring the cat egg back?"

"Cat eggs?"

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "What cat egg?"

For some reason, when Yuchi Baolin called Cheng's girl "Sister Yaoxiang", a tinge of displeasure crossed his mind.

"It's a tiger!"

Yang Xiaoran rubbed his hands excitedly, "Brother Baolin killed a big tiger, and later found out that the big tiger had a cub that was not weaned. I felt guilty, so we took the cub back to Zhuangzi to raise it."

When Yang Xiaoran talked about the cat eggs, her face was full of excitement, because when she was in Zhuangzi, regardless of the objections of her servants, she made a nest for the cat eggs and put them next to her bed. When she went to bed at night, she put the cat eggs in the space after she fell asleep go.The little guy likes the new field very much, and sleeps on it for a while every time.

When I woke up, I went to the stream to drink water, and went to sleep after drinking.As a result, more than ten days later, Yang Xiaoran suddenly discovered that this little tiger had become very clingy to him, very human, and very smart.Teach it some simple instructions, and it will be done two or three times.

This discovery surprised Yang Xiaoran.This means that the space has a certain transformative effect on the flora and fauna.She observed those grass seeds every day and found that the growth rate was much faster.At least one-third faster than the outside world.

what does that mean?That means that land has a species-optimizing effect!That is to say, if the growth cycle of a plant is ninety days, now it only takes sixty days to bloom and bear fruit!

Don't underestimate the growth rate of this one-third.I can't feel the power of a small grass seed, but if it is used to cultivate food, how unnatural would it be? ! !
This means that grains that could only be cultivated for one season in the north can now be cultivated for two seasons!Didn't the grain output double in this way?Not to mention that Yang Xiaoran also discovered that the newly grown grass seeds are much more than ordinary ones, which is equivalent to telling Yang Xiaoran that the plant growth cycle has not only been shortened, but the yield has also increased.

And the new grass seeds can germinate, and have the same optimized characteristics before, without fading!What a surprise!Although the hybrid rice of the later generations has a high yield, it can only be planted for one season, and it will fade and must be cultivated again.

If the new and extra land in this space has optimized species that will not degenerate, then just wait patiently, and this new grain will be popularized in a few years.Thinking about that scene, it makes people excited.

What is more important in this world than a full stomach? !The most important reason for restricting population development in Tang Dynasty was because the grain output was too low!

"Baolin, you killed a big bug?!"

Li Chengqian's eyes widened in surprise. In the eyes of the ancients, tigers are very ferocious. Whoever can kill a tiger must have exceeded the standard of force!

Baolin scratched his head in embarrassment, his face flushed a little, and he replied muffledly, "Mmm", and then he didn't continue.

Li Chengqian knew that Yuchi Baolin was not good at words, so he looked at Yang Xiaoran.

Yang Xiaoran danced and told Li Chengqian about how Baolin beat the tiger. After a while, a group of people surrounded him.Listening to Yang Xiaoran's vivid description, he couldn't help admiring again and again, even Li Shimin was attracted.

Hearing that Yuchi Baolin insisted on burying the tiger instead of bringing it back to show off as a trophy, Li Shimin couldn't help admiring: "Baolin is really a gentleman!"

Wei Zheng also nodded again and again, a smile appeared on his old-fashioned face, he stroked his beard and said, "If you have no benevolence, you will be punished by heaven. Although little general Yuchi is a general, he has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, which is rare, rare."

The old man Kong Yingda also cheerfully agreed, "Yes, yes."

"The little tiger is now raised by you in Zhuangzi?"

Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Yang Xiaoran's eyes immediately showed a bit of vigilance. Seeing Li Er's bright eyes, he was clearly trying to trick his little tiger.

Seeing him turning his head to look at Li Yuan again, Yang Xiaoran lowered his eyes, cursing inwardly, this damn Li Er!This is clearly telling himself that he is using it to show filial piety to his father.

The ancients, especially the kings, always felt that they were not good enough, so they always liked to raise some ferocious animals to show their extraordinaryness.But the show belongs to the show, it's not okay to let yourself give them the cat eggs.

Seeing that Yang Xiaoran didn't answer his words, Li Shimin gritted his teeth!What a stingy girl!

On the contrary, Li Yuan staggered over with the flagon in his hand. The banquet was only halfway through, and the old man was already drunk.

Hiccups, the image of an emperor is no longer there.With half-closed eyes, everyone gave way to a passage, Li Yuan looked at Yang Xiaoran, and said, "Are you Cheng Yaoxiang?"

Yang Xiaoran hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Yuan nodded, looked Yang Xiaoran up and down, grinned, and said, "It's a good one!"

After a pause, he continued: "Remember to come and give me New Year's greetings tomorrow. Well, Chengqian..."

"The grandson is..."

"You bring her here."

After saying these inexplicable words, Li Yuan left, and said in his mouth: "The exorcism is about to begin, but I am old, and I am tired after drinking a few glasses of wine. I won't go, you go."

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate, Cheng Yaojin was holding the jug, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Send the Supreme Emperor back to the palace!"

Everyone reacted, and immediately echoed, shouting in unison: "Respectfully send the Supreme Emperor back to the palace, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Yang Xiaoran looked at Li Yuan's background, feeling a little blocked for some reason.

A generation of heroes is now in this situation, and it is a bit sad to think about it.

The so-called hero's twilight is the saddest thing.

Li Yuan, who has lost the aura of the emperor, is now nothing but a poor old man whose son died.

Is there anything in this world more cruel than watching one's own flesh and blood fight each other?
Back then, this old man was also a well-known figure, and his character was not inferior to the current Li Shimin. He was the one who created the 289-year prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!
Seeing Yang Xiaoran looking at Li Yuan's leaving back, Li Shimin sighed slightly, and said, "Cheng family girl, go and greet the Supreme Emperor tomorrow morning."

After a pause, he said, "He won't treat you badly."

Yang Xiaoran hurriedly put on his back and bowed: "Yes, the minister obeys the order."

"The exorcism has begun, dear friends, let's go and have a look with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A large group of people left the Tai Chi Hall and walked towards the gate tower of the palace. The exorcism ceremony had already begun.

Thousands of people wearing masks and holding torches stepped onto Suzaku Street, led by a man and a woman, who wore the masks of an old man and an old woman to lead the dance. ".Behind them are thousands of people wearing child masks called child protectors.

These are all positive characters, they are here to fight ghosts.Where there are positive characters, there are naturally villains, and the villains wear all kinds of scary and hideous ghost masks interspersed among them.These people walked and danced, playing various musical instruments, much like Easter in later generations, very lively and interesting.

Standing at the top of the city, Yang Xiaoran watched the group of troops walking towards the palace gate, and then heard singing, "I came to the palace gate from afar, and saw a group of devils, and among them was He Lun Dun, Stand straight up and squat with your head down. Wear an airbag and wear a brazier. Eyes are red..."

It probably means how human beings get fat and beat ghosts.There are more than one or two such songs, but the content is almost the same.Thousands of people sang loudly together, and it is such a distinctive folk tune, which has a unique flavor and very national characteristics.

Just like this song, the content is very interesting.It probably means that just when I came to the door from a distance, I ran into a ghost. There was a fool inside, squatting on the eaves of the house.Her whole body was glowing red and blue, her eyes were red and she was wearing red trousers...

This content is really hilarious, the wisdom of the ancient working people should not be underestimated!

Jumping all the way to the gate of the palace, the exorcism brigade paid homage to His Majesty, and the atmosphere of the entire Chang'an City was completely ignited!

Even the citizens who can't go out can feel that this festival is a little more joyful when they hear the sound of "Long Live" outside like a tsunami.

Following Li Shimin's "flat body", the entire Chang'an city was lit up with stars slowly!
Thousands of households lit fires in their courtyards, which is called "court burning".The firelight from thousands of households penetrated through the courtyard walls and gates, and the dark Chang'an City lit up at this moment!Through the firelight, you can see thousands of families happily dancing and singing around the fire in their respective courtyards.

This is a festival that belongs to all Chinese people!It is the most important festival of the year!

In front of the palace gate, the palace people have already set up bamboo, and the time of the child is approaching, although there are people waiting, waiting for the arrival of the new year!

There were no fireworks in the Tang Dynasty. There was air in the bamboo, and it would crackle when it was burned, and there would be bursts of small golden-red sparks coming out, which would look extraordinarily beautiful at night.So burning firecrackers at midnight can be regarded as the embryonic form of fireworks on New Year's Eve, right?

Yang Xiaoran watched it with gusto, the taste of the future generations was getting weaker and weaker, and it was the first time she had seen such a lively scene like the Tang Dynasty.I used to be in Xiaoqingshan, away from the crowds, and I have never seen such excitement before.

Just as he was watching, he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed.Turning his head, he saw Li Chengqian holding his hand and saying, "Xiang'er, I'll take you to set off firecrackers, let's go!"

"Is this possible?"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Come with me!"

After speaking, he took Yang Xiaoran's hand and went down the tower.When Baolin not far away saw this situation, he was startled. What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do?Are you leaving the palace?There are thousands of people in the exorcising brigade outside!What should I do if something goes wrong?Did you take sister Yaoxiang with you?
Baolin couldn't stand anymore and immediately followed.Li Tai and Li Yin also spotted the crown prince leading the magistrate away with keen eyes, and immediately followed behind quietly...

　If there is no third update until 9 o'clock today, you don't have to wait. The author is very uncomfortable today, with a stomachache... Everyone understands, right?My whole body is weak and sore, I try my best to hold on to the third shift today!
