Wentang

Chapter 571 Start

Outside the Chongxuan Gate of Yong'an Palace, a high platform about two feet high rises from the ground.

The high platform is a wooden structure, with a round solid wood load-bearing column underneath, and the top is paved with wooden boards, with an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

There is a wooden house built in the center of the platform, and five huge cages are evenly distributed around the platform.

This is where Yueshan performs the method of turning a chicken into a male.

When the platform was just started to be built, many residents of Chang’an came to watch. Later, many people from other places also came to watch. As time went by, more and more people came to watch.When the platform was built, there were already tens of thousands of people onlookers.

And at this time, Yue Shan came to the scene under the protection of a group of imperial guards.

"Come on, come on, look, that young man is Yue Shan, the son of the fairy."

"Wow... so young."

"It is said that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, of course he is young."

"This... is younger than my son, but he is already a magistrate of the county. He really deserves to be a child of a fairy."

"What is the county marquis? He is a child of a fairy, and he can see the past and the future by mastering the power of a fairy."

"I just don't know if the male chicken will succeed this time."

"The grand occasion of the ages, the grand occasion of the ages..."

On the other hand, seeing so many people, Yue Shan was also a little nervous.

"Yue Hou... are you okay?" Jing Junhong who was beside him asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, let's go." Yue Shan shook his head and said, he walked towards the high platform first, and Jing Junhong hurriedly followed behind.

In order to prevent the behind-the-scenes people from jumping over the wall and using shady means to deal with Yueshan, Yuan Cong's forbidden army is personally responsible for the guarding work this time.

It can be said that Wanqi is the only one in terms of combat power, but the most loyal to Yueshan at the critical moment is the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army.

The reason is simple, Yueshan brought them dignity and glory, and gave them a bright future.

Yuan Cong's imperial army and him are bound together, one is prosperous and the other is humiliated. This relationship is closer than the Wanqi he built by himself.

After all, Wanqi has been mixed too much by Li Shimin and various forces, and he usually respects Yueshan, so loyalty is out of the question.There is only one person Wanqi is loyal to, the emperor.

So let Yuan Cong's imperial army personally take charge of the guarding work of this event, everyone is at ease.

It is not only the common people who are concerned about this matter, but also all the dignitaries and forces in the court.

"It's really lively. I'm afraid all the troublemakers in Chang'an City are here?" A middle-aged man in Taoist robes looked around and said.

"Do you think these people are the people of Chang'an? I dare say that half of them are eyeliners sent by various forces, and these eyeliners will monitor everything on the high platform non-stop for twelve hours." An old Taoist priest beside him affirmed the way.

These two people are the Taoist leader Wang Zhiyuan, the old Taoist priest, and his foundation Lu Qianchang.

Hearing Master's words, Lu Qianchang nodded and did not refute. He knew that what Wang Zhiyuan said was right, and aside from other forces, the Taoist sect at least sent a spy.I don't know how many people have been sent by Buddhism, but it is not less than this number.

"Master, do you really believe in the story of a hen turning into a male?" Lu Qianchang asked suddenly.

As a Taoist, he knows better than anyone else what the so-called gods are. Now that a person suddenly appears and has the power of the gods, it will inevitably make him doubt his own cognition.

Do the gods and Buddhas we talk about really exist?
"Is there a difference between belief and non-belief? Did you join Taoism to become a god?" Wang Zhiyuan asked back.

Lu Qianchang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head solemnly, while Wang Zhiyuan showed a gratified smile.

We believe in Taoism and join Taoism to learn the knowledge of Taoism and to cultivate one's morality. As for immortals and gods, they are not important.

If you understand this principle, you will not be far from the Tao.The same is true of Buddhism, and it can even be said that most schools in China are like this.

"Qing Shui Hou loses his mysterious power and deterrence, and I'm afraid there will be more people who use God's will to stir up trouble in the future." Lu Qianchang said again.

In the past, during the emperor's reign, auspicious omens and mysterious events such as "so-called" disaster warnings often occurred in various parts of the world.

Only in the Zhenguan Dynasty, there were very few. Li Shimin had been on the throne for eight years, and there were only a handful of similar incidents.Why?There is Yueshan.

With Datang's No. [-] magic stick, no matter who wants to make auspicious omens, early warnings, etc., they have to think carefully.

Hearing his words, Wang Zhiyuan shook his head secretly, his disciple still needs to continue to be trained.But on the surface, he patiently taught: "On the contrary, if he succeeds in this move, there will be fewer similar things in the future."

"Why?" Lu Qianchang asked in confusion.

"Think about it." After Wang Zhiyuan left a sentence, he turned his gaze to Yue Shan, watching him walk into the cabin.

Then Jing Junhong brought five old hens and put one in each of the five cages.Now everyone has guessed a possibility, Yue Shan wants to cast spells on five chickens at the same time... this...

Many people who know the ins and outs of the matter in detail are puzzled, and it takes more mana to cast spells on five chickens at the same time, and the divine punishment should be heavier... unless...

Unless there is an endless amount of divine punishment to increase the punishment, but simply to see if you have crossed the line?
The more you think about it, the more you think it makes sense, and many people have a lot of inspiration based on this.Especially those from Buddhism and Taoism, at this moment, they thought of how to modify many teachings...

If Yue Shan knew their thoughts and plans, he would definitely say, you are overthinking.

He walked up to the high platform and opened the door of the wooden house to look in. The wooden house with two bedrooms and one living room has a separate bathroom.The furniture inside is very simple, just a bed, a table, and a bookshelf filled with various books.

Yueshan is very satisfied with this, at least the living conditions are good.Then he turned back to Jing Junhong and said, "Okay, let's go here. Next, the brothers have worked hard, tell them, I will invite everyone to drink afterwards."

"This is what we should do. It is their honor to be able to protect you. You don't know. You know that they are here to protect you. Everyone almost didn't fight. Or did I say to take turns, and everyone can get their turn before it stops." Respect Jun Hongdao.

"I know, I still have to thank them." Yue Shan was silent for a while, and said gratefully: "Go down, I'm about to cast a spell."

"This... just cast spells like this?" Jing Junhong asked in surprise.

"What else would it be?" Yue Shan asked rhetorically.

"Don't you need to take a bath and change your clothes to pray to heaven or something?" Jing Junhong said.

"This is an act condemned by the gods. He bathed and changed his clothes and prayed to heaven. Don't you think he died fast enough?" Yue Shan said.

"Uh... well, I understand. Then I will go down first, and let them inform me if there is anything to do." Jing Junhong retreated after finishing speaking.

When he left, Yue Shan pulled out several cloth bags sewn with white cloth from his arms and sleeves, which were filled with medicinal materials prepared in advance.

There are two sets of reproductive systems in chickens, and their appearance can be affected by hormones.So the female chicken turns into a male, and the rooster turns into a female.

In the 21st century, such drugs are very common, and they are male hormones and female hormones.But in Datang, both of these are rare things.

But this is not a problem for Yueshan. As the saying goes, what you eat is what you eat. The testicles of roosters contain testosterone, which is the element that changes the sex of hens.

Fortunately, chickens are omnivores, eat meat, and have the ability to digest meat, otherwise Yueshan really has no choice.

There is a chicken farm in the academy, which raises tens of thousands of chickens.Anyone who has learned about it knows that chicken farms do not need too many roosters. Except for a few breeding roosters, the others must be castrated.

And capon is also an ancient industry in China, which has been passed down for thousands of years.Longshoushan chicken farm has raised so many chickens, so it is natural that they often deal with capon craftsmen, and even the chicken farm itself has a capon craftsman.

When he heard about the female chicken turning into a male, Yue Shan asked Bao Dalin to go to the chicken farm to ask for a lot of chicken testicles.After roasting, it is ground into powder, mixed with corn flour to make grain-sized particles, and then dried to become a special feed.

And his so-called method of turning a hen into a male is the feed prepared from the testicles of a rooster...

Let’s say that after Jing Junhong left the wooden house, he called the guards together, and said: “Everyone, be on guard and don’t collude with those dubious people. I can give you a promise, no matter what you did before. What a mistake, as long as the guard is successful this time, I will be the master and absolve you of your crimes."

"If something goes wrong with someone, it will not only be unlucky for you, but also affect your whole family. I hope you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Jing Junhong was afraid that whoever did something stupid would be seized by others and threatened to do something to harm Yue Shan, so now he simply spared everyone the crime.

In this way, there is no need to be afraid of being threatened. Coupled with Yue Shan's prestige among Yuan Cong's forbidden army, no one will betray him.

The eyes of several of these subordinates brightened, and they secretly made up their minds to protect Yue Shan even if they risked their lives.

"Okay, I'll stop here and start martial law." Following Jing Junhong's order, a battalion of Yuan Cong's forbidden troops stood up one after another, surrounding the platform in groups.

Seeing this, the onlookers also knew that the hen turning into a male was about to start, and they all stared at the high platform closely to see what Yue Shan would do.

But to their disappointment, Yue Shan just fed each hen a little water, then returned to the wooden house and never came out again.

what happened?Did it start or didn't it start?Is it too casual?

But it didn't take long for someone to ask the truth of the matter, praying to the heavens for the behavior condemned by heaven, isn't that courting death?It's better not to say anything, but to do it.

Having said that, everyone immediately understood.

Wang Zhiyuan also pointed it out secretly, it's really tight.

At this point in the matter, he also knew that there would be no result in a short time, and there was no need to wait any longer, so he told Lu Qianchang, turned around and walked out, and Lu Qianchang also followed behind him thoughtfully.

"Have you figured out why?"

"I have a clue, but I don't know if it's right." Lu Qianchang said.
