Chapter 67 Tiger Bone Flowing Pearl
Wherever the saint went, the gorgeous lights lit up, like a long five-colored dragon, extending from the pier to the island in the middle of the lake.
The lights on the island spread outward, and the banquet hall was like a huge eight-petal lotus, slowly unfolding on the water.
The banquet hall is about the size of a half football field, with a circular stage as the center, expanding outward layer by layer.
The closest to the stage is naturally the seats of the saints, followed by the royal family and ministers. Then, they divide the areas into sections to entertain other court officials and foreign envoys.
Gao Mang stood on a small building next to the banquet hall, glanced down from a high place, and it was probably no problem to accommodate two thousand people.
I have to say that the emperor treats guests to dinner, and the show is really big.
The gorgeously dressed palace maids began to wander in the huge banquet hall, placing exquisite tableware and decorations on small wooden tables, while the eunuchs carried small wooden houses more than one person to different corners. Gao Mang guessed that the small wooden house should be where to wash hands and change clothes.
Beside Gao Mang, Li Longji stood on the railing and suddenly smiled and said, "Boy, look over there."
The emperor's finger was the stage in the center of the banquet hall. Suddenly, the lights on the stage changed, and countless fountains soared into the sky.
The exciting water waves and the falling water lines actually intertwined into a giant dragon. Under the reflection of colorful lights, the giant dragon seemed to come alive, soaring up nearly a hundred meters, lifelike.
Gao Mang was dumbfounded, black technology.
Powerful footsteps came from behind him, and a strong young man in his thirties walked up and knelt on the ground like a jade pillar: "My minister, loyal soul, pay homage to the saint!"
Emperor Li Longji smiled and personally helped Wang Zhongsi up, looking up and down, sighing: "But my son has lost a lot of weight."
Wang Zhongsi's eyes were red and he choked and said, "Zhongsi is unfilial, so he cares about Yeye."
Wang Zhongsi's original name was Wang Xun, the son of Wang Haibin, the envoy of Feng'an Army. In the second year of Kaiyuan, Wang Haibin died in battle. The eight-year-old Wang Zhongsi was taken into the palace by Li Longji and adopted as his adopted son, and was given the name "Zhongsi".
Wang Zhongsi was taciturn and taciturn. When he grew up, he served in the border army. He made many military achievements but was repeatedly recalled by the emperor on the grounds of concern.
In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Wang Zhongsi was appointed as the Hexi military envoy and went to war with the Hexi Jiedushi Xiao Song. He fought thousands of miles in the past four years. His prestige in the army became increasingly important and he had become a rising star in the Tang Dynasty.
In short, Wang Zhongsi and the emperor's adoptive father have not met for four years, and half of the banquet today were set up for him.
After the father and son greeted each other for a while, Li Longji smiled and said, "Huairou, haven't you come to see my adopted son yet."
Gao Mang stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "Xuanyi Lang Gao Huairou, have seen General Wang!"
Wang Zhongsi hurriedly replied with a hearty smile and said, "The little immortal master is indeed a talented person, and he is very likable."
Wang Zhongsi was not good at talking and obviously had the intention of being alienated from Gao Mang. He just said hello and stopped talking.
Gao Mang understood it and didn't care about it.
Only a few people know that Wang Zhongsi Tianxing's identity is known. He can be valued by the court because he is the emperor's adopted son. Wang Zhongsi is naturally very cautious in dealing with Tianxing's life, let alone a little immortal master.
After a moment, Wang Jixin accompanied Concubine Wu Hui to the stairs and came to the emperor to greet him.
"Gaobien, this looks so handsome." Wu Huifei smiled and joked with Gao Mang when she came up.
"Concubine Hui is generous, please spare the boy." Gao Mang gritted his teeth and smiled, his expression was even worse than crying.
Concubine Wu Hui did not take this incident. Seeing Wang Zhongsi's face was confused, she smiled and explained: "Zhongsi, the saint has ordered Huairou to be the inspector of the bird. From now on, the strange beasts and birds in this palace will be under the control of the Gaoneng."
After saying that, Wu Huifei was overjoyed and covered her lips and smiled. Emperor Li Longji also laughed.
Wang Zhongsi was very happy. As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he heard about the various feats of the little immortal master, especially the several conflicts with Concubine Wu Hui.
While it was funny, he was also envious. The emperor loved the little immortal master so much that he offended Concubine Wu Hui. I was afraid that he would have been worse than death.
Wang Zhongsi was a little regretful after all. After all, he was too sensitive to the identity of the Heavenly Awakener and shouldn't have been so cold to the little immortal master before.
Everyone was chatting upstairs, and the banquet hall downstairs was filled with people at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scene became lively.
Ding, ding, ding!
A few crisp rings rang, and the banquet hall fell silent.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Wu Hui walked into the hall, and everyone stood up to salute, shouting long live the mountain.
Several envoys from small Western countries crawled forward, kowtowed and kissed the emperor's boots.
The emperor smiled and replied, walked straight to the master's seat and sat down. Everyone bowed to their hearts and then sat down neatly.
The Li Tang royal family, civil servants and military generals, literati and scholars, and foreign envoys were all gathered together, and at first glance they were all heads.
Gao Mang was ready, so he raised a brocade box to the emperor's throne and held it high above his head: "The saint is above, I personally refine twelve elixirs in Wangwushan to offer it to the saint, wishing the saint good health and longevity!"
Li Longji smiled and nodded: "The little immortal master is intent."
Although the people at the banquet had long guessed Gao Mang's identity, they only confirmed it after hearing the emperor's words, and for a moment they looked at Gao Mang curiously.
This kid is amazing. Sima Chengzhen's closed disciple was loved by the emperor when he first arrived in the capital and received the favor of his companionship.
But he was also a thorny man, whipping Niu Gui'er, beating the Censor, Luoshui fought against King Guang, and I heard that he also grilled Wu Huifei's pet parakeet woman in snow today.
Of course, this kid also has the ability. He defeated the Tang Dynasty player Wang Jixin, and also gave away four mantras that moved Zhang Jiuling and even the world's Confucian scholars. He also created Taoist tea. It seems that he is proficient in alchemy, otherwise he would not have presented it to the emperor in public.
How can a person be so smart?
Many officials at the meeting were thinking, otherwise they would tear some classics and secrets and eat them with honey?
Gao Mang once again raised a brocade box and said to the emperor: "I also used the tiger bones of the prime tiger to polish 108 blood tiger bone flow beads for the saints, and I also worshipped them in the Laojun Temple in the balcony palace for 9981st. Wearing this flow bead not only promotes blood and nourishes essence, but also dispels poisonous insects. I ask the emperor to accept it with a smile."
Li Longji was surprised. He really didn't know that this flowing bead had so many things. He ordered someone to present the brocade box and open it with his own hands.
One hundred and eight flowing beads are red like pearls, and each one is as round and transparent as the size is round and transparent. When the plate is finished, it even emits a strange fragrance.
Not bad, this kid is really interested.
Li Longji put the flowing beads in the box with joy and looked at Gao Mang with a smile: "Little Immortal Master, I heard that you have prepared a mysterious gift for me?"
