Chapter 159: Down the Mountain
After staring at the backyard for a long time, the two of them decided to go to the dining room to have a meal.
?r?a?n?w?e?n?`c?o?m?
In Bai Yu's words, this meal is like recalling the bitterness and sweetness of those days. I walked slowly and leisurely across the stone bridge, passed the waterfall, and passed the abyss. The dining room was still so welcoming. The rich aroma of the food was the most beautiful smell on the mountain besides incense candles.
, there was a squirrel living on the pine tree at the door, holding pine nuts and eating them all day long.
The pangolin Tiedi Qiu Pi Dian Dian followed, and now it is nominally Xu Ling's monster brother. Thanks to the fact that pangolins are non-venomous and not bloodthirsty and like to eat ants, no one rejects him, so he just raised a kitten.
Recently, Bai Yu is teaching it not to dig through Huashan when it has nothing to do. If it really digs, it will cause big trouble. It is required to scratch the iron block if its paws are itchy.
There were not many people eating in the dining room, so two people occupied one table.
Bai Yu resisted going to the backyard to eat meat in a big wooden basin. Then, he saw the fat cook who was old and lame. He was very happy to see Bai Yu and decided to cook the dishes himself.
Not long after, several plates of dishes were served, which were very fragrant, as well as a small pot of tender animal meat with the bones removed.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Eat, eat, you're welcome, don't do it if you don't have enough."
The fat chef uncle always likes to feed other people or snakes, as if watching other people and snakes eat the food he made will make them happy. Everyone's happiness is different and they have their own pursuits.
Eating is the happiest thing for snakes.
Isn’t it just to have enough food to live hard? There is nothing more important in this world than having enough food. If there is, then it must be better and fuller food. I recall when I was a child, I ate grasshoppers every day and worked hard to fill my stomach.
, now he still struggles to be full, eating throughout his life.
The fat chef uncle smiled and watched Bai Yu eat fiercely, just like watching the fat groundhog behind his house that just hangs around and eats all day long...
Xu Ling looked at Bai Yu and was speechless.
"Dabai, can't you chew your food carefully?"
Just after he finished speaking, Bai Yu picked up the piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it with a slurp. He really couldn't beat the chance to eat with a snake.
He glanced sideways at Xu Ling.
"You can't survive even a day in Shiwanda Mountain. You eat so slowly that you can't grab anything. If you chew it and then swallow it, you are a herbivore."
"Dare you laugh at me? Have you forgotten that you only have two teeth!"
"Pfft..."
What Xu Ling said in a rage made the cold-faced Yang Mu go crazy. It's a classic. Snakes only have two teeth. Even if they transform into human beings, they have a mouth full of silver teeth. But Xu Ling caught the key point.
"Believe it or not, I will swallow you and spit it out again!" Bai Yu threatened viciously.
"Come on! I'm afraid you won't make it!"
The atmosphere was noisy and joyful, and the customary rule of silence, sleep, and food was broken. The law enforcement disciples pretended not to notice and continued to eat with their heads down, not mentioning the snake monster that caused the huge disaster. The two peak masters of Qingxu Palace
The master is not easy to mess with.
Suddenly, Xu Ling thought of a question.
"By the way, Dabai, have you ever eaten anyone?"
Hearing this, Yang Mu also pricked up his ears and was very interested. The two of them didn't care whether it was right to eat people. They just wanted to know whether they had eaten or not.
Bai Yu thought carefully and shook his head.
"I can't remember clearly, I probably haven't eaten it before."
"Why don't you eat?"
The young disciples around him broke out in cold sweat after just one sentence. They were actually discussing the issue of whether or not to eat people in the dining room. No matter why they don't eat, they can't discuss it so casually...
"Most of them taste bad, and I can't bear to eat them. Clothes are nutritious and difficult to digest. You know, I always swallow them whole. Tigers, lions, wolves and the like don't have to worry about clothes."
"That's it..."
Xu Ling nodded in understanding.
The young seven or eight-year-old disciples around me threw down their jobs one by one and ran out of the dining room crying loudly...
…………
Time always flies by.
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and I heard that an army of tens of thousands had descended from the mountain. Everything was prepared for an auspicious day, and then Li Chongqian came on stage and shouted a few slogans.
Many ministers who had fled Chang'an gathered at the foot of Huashan Mountain to be busy. Compared with the Daming Palace in Chang'an, where the emperor had only one palace, it was more like a royal court. The literati were especially excited. They wrote poems and shouted to get rid of the evil king and protect the virtuous. The Lord ascended the throne and revived the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Representatives of aristocratic families from all over the country were waiting at the foot of the mountain, waiting to establish a good relationship with Li Chongqian or discuss the distribution of benefits with other aristocratic families.
Finally, Li Chongqian, who was overwhelmed with anticipation, left Qingxu Palace where he had lived for several years.
A temporary camp was built at the foot of Huashan Mountain.
Yuan Tianshi personally presided over this massive prayer ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, and said many things such as reviving the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. The three armies cheered, and all the noble families who came to participate in the raising of troops offered their cheap loyalty to Li Chongqian. The ceremony was very Grand scenes with tens of thousands of people are not common.
Flags were fluttering and swords were like frost. They had been shouting and shouting all morning. Especially when the elderly ministers came on stage to accuse the tyrant, the atmosphere became the most heated. More soldiers followed the shouting and had no idea what was going on.
What Bai Yu didn't expect was that those wealthy families would be more interested in his mascot.
Originally, neither Yuan Shengun nor Li Xiangyan planned to go to too much trouble. They only needed to capture the palace and suppress the white snake demon in the palace. It was simple, crude and effective. For these experts, the simpler and faster everything is, the better. However, for those powerful people, That's not what the family thinks.
Those wealthy families were shocked when they learned that Yuan Tianshi and Chunyang Palace were planning to use dragons to suppress the royal dragon energy.
Look! Look at their methods!
The word domineering cannot be described!
Out of their trust in Yuan Shengun and the head of Chunyang, they decided to treat the real dragon with the highest standards, even higher than those of the future emperor, so they prepared a very bloody ceremony to welcome the dragon.
Just after dawn in the morning, a maid entered Bai Yu's room. Bai Yu was then fiddled with by these frightened maids for a long time. He had his hair styled again, with a bunch of silver or yellow jewelry hanging on it. He also wore a golden dragon jewelry on his head and changed into a new outfit. Yellow and white palace dress.
Before setting off, they scattered a lot of grain seeds into the house, saying that they were praying to the dragon for a good harvest.
Bai Yu really wanted to tell them that he was just a decent snake demon.
The two ceremonies were held at the same time, but the representatives of the powerful families rushed to greet the real dragon...
Li Chongqian's side looked a little deserted and awkward.
At the foot of the mountain, a new archway called Dragon Gate was built. The road was paved with loess. People on both sides knelt down and worshiped along the road. Even the founder of the terracotta warriors, Yuan Shengun, was dumbfounded.
"Welcome the dragon~!"
A shout rang out.
Bai Yu wore a yellow and white palace dress and walked through the archway. In front of her was a carriage driven by nine white horses with many dragon totems carved on the shaft. The whole process was completely inexplicable. Those wealthy families had to follow the most mysterious and noble rituals. In order to To prevent mortals from seeing the true dragon's appearance, he also covered his face with a yellow veil.
Thousands of soldiers and hundreds of maids knelt to greet him. In front of him was a bronze cauldron filled with incense, and a table filled with melons, fruits and animals.
