It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 765

On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the Lord of Heaven is not beautiful. Before the sun came out, the sky became gloomy, and when the sky finally dawned, a purple thunder startled the rain, and rainwater the size of rice grains fell from the sky.

The long street became wet, various mansions opened their doors, and groups of people poured out of them.

The civil and military officials of the empire, the vassals and vassals from all over the world, will all rush to the Zijintan today to participate in today's ceremony of conferring kings.

At this time, Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji also went out together. Xu Shenji was holding a thin horse and holding an oil-paper umbrella, Cheng Dalei rode on the horse, with sallow skin, looking slack, as if he hadn't woken up.

Going forward all the way, I bumped into other vassal kings. Everyone is silk and satin, tall horses, with at least a dozen entourages. Cheng Dalei was among them, especially conspicuous.

Conspicuous because it is special. Nowadays, no one in the world knows Cheng's family, and it can even be said that today's great scriptures for conferring kings were created because of him.

It was he who drove Song Bokang out of Liangzhou. Without him, Li Letian could not have taken the risk. Today, in the ceremony of conferring the king, Song Bokang was beheaded, and Cheng Dalei was sealed.

If there is or not, everyone keeps a certain distance from him. Cheng Dalei was born in a bandit, and was once a wanted criminal of the empire, not even a commoner. But it happens that the toad in the mud ditch is also in his early days, and in the blink of an eye, the toad turns into an elephant.

Even Li Xingzai didn't come to get close. He was the complete opposite of Cheng Dalei, who came from a serious background. If you get too close to Cheng Dalei in front of people, you will easily fall into the wrong place.

There was a straight face on the surface, only when no one was paying attention, Chong Dalei blinked.

Cheng Dalei ignored him at all.

Li Xingzai frowned and looked at Cheng Dalei carefully: Why is there something wrong with Cheng Dalei today.

A group of people poured into the Zijin altar and took their seats according to the order. It was a coincidence that Li Xingzai was next to Cheng Dalei, only a chair away.

There was military music playing in unison, and the dancers in the palace performed the break-out dance, which was also full of passion and generosity.

The feudal lord who came from a remote and small place, his eyes were still, and he was reluctant to look away. It is not easy for them to come to Chang'an once, and today they have seen the world.

For Li Xingzai, these are things that he was used to seeing since childhood, and they didn't attract his interest. His attention still fell on Cheng Dalei, who was so close, from beginning to end, not to say a word, not even a glance to himself.

This is a little weird, Cheng Dalei is not someone who can sit still.

On the other hand, Xu Shenji kept looking at himself, with a wretched smile on his face, without the temperament of a first-class military advisor Zhizhu.

Li Xingzai was about to take the lead in breaking the deadlock. He straightened his clothes and said, "Master Cheng has come all the way from Liangzhou. Is the road still peaceful?"

Cheng Dalei still did not speak.

Li Xingzai frowned even more, looking at Xu Shenji in confusion.

"My king suffered from a cold yesterday, and it is inconvenient to speak. Please forgive me."

Wind chill... Li Xingzai breathed a sigh of relief, this is a perfect excuse, no matter when, it can be pushed out to block the gun.

A sudden jolt in his heart, also blessed to the soul, realized an unbelievable thing.

The person in front of him was not Cheng Dalei at all.

His heart instantly raised to his throat. After having this thought, he carefully looked at "Cheng Dalei" and confirmed this even more.

What is Cheng Dalei's temperament, as long as he is present, you can't see anyone within ten steps, you can't just ignore him. But today he is sitting here, hunched over, not wanting to be noticed, and he has disappeared from the crowd.

Then, he confirmed who was pretending to be Cheng Dalei, and it was Liu Facai next to Cheng Dalei.

Liu Facai's appearance is somewhat similar to Cheng Dalei's, and he has the hidden attributes of confusing people. When he walked on the rivers and lakes, he made a living by pretending to be Cheng Dalei. As long as you dress up a little, there is absolutely no problem in fooling strangers.

But the appearance can be faked, but Cheng Dalei's confidence and temperament from fighting on the battlefield is difficult to disguise.

After realizing this, Li Xingzai's heart thumped, and he fell down in cold sweat.

Li Xingzai was sweating, Xu Shenji was sweating, and Liu Facai, who pretended to be Cheng Dalei, was sweating.

What kind of occasion was today, when the princes of the empire gathered together, and the Son of Heaven was present in person, less than a hundred people were qualified to occupy a place.

Li Xingzai felt a bit of a headache: what the hell is Cheng Dalei doing?

...

It rained at the Jade Emperor Temple.

The rain fell on the mountains along the branches, and then down the rocks, merging into small streams, rushing out of the roots and rotten leaves.

On the mountain behind the rain, a group of people dressed in scorpions were turning the fields in front of them one by one.

The Jade Emperor Temple is provided by the emperor and is located in Chang'an, the capital of the empire. Most of the dignitaries offer incense and money. There is no need for Taoist farming. However, the Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Temple occasionally farm the fields.

One is that the Taoist priests who express the Jade Emperor view do not admire Ronghua, and the other is that every word and deed are related to the Tao and can be understood.

Seeing the movements of the Taoist, it turned out to be an experienced connoisseur. The hoe picked up the clods and smashed them together. The rain soaked his clothes and his feet were covered in mud, and he didn't care.

From outside the mountain to the back mountain, someone slowly approached with a black umbrella and stopped by the farmland.

The Taoist stopped the hoe in his hand. There was a handsome face where the cloak fell. He wiped the rain off his face and smiled at the person who came.

"Master Cheng, you are here."

Cheng Dalei's real body was originally here. He wanted to kill people and leave today, all he wanted was time. It's a pity that he doesn't have the so-called avatar technique, so he can only let Liu Fa Cai pretend to be himself and come over to kill himself.

Zhang Tianci was not flustered when he saw him, the rain-covered face was not annoying, on the contrary, even a man would be willing to be his friend when he saw him.

"You knew I was coming?"

Cheng Dalei was holding a black umbrella, and the two were thirty paces apart.

"Last time Master Cheng asked about divination, Xiaodao didn't dare to show his ugliness. On a whim this morning, he made a divination for himself."

"Very good, but what?"

"The hexagrams are difficult to predict. The hexagrams are chaotic, the will of heaven is mysterious and unpredictable, and Xiaodao can't see anything." Zhang Tianci said: "So Xiaodao made another hexagram for Cheng Dang's family."

"Count me out?"

Zhang Tianci shook his head: "It's even more difficult, and it's strange to say, Xiaodao uses seven algorithms, as long as the divination is related to Cheng's family, it is unpredictable, and no water leaks. Come to think of it, the number of Cheng's family's fate is too large, and Xiaodao speculates on his own. God's will, I'm afraid there will be retribution."

Cheng Dalei nodded: "The talk of ghosts and gods, Zisuo does not speak, other than Liuhe, it doesn't matter. People are in charge of people's affairs, so don't bother to play."

"I can't say that, I can calculate something more or less." Zhang Tianci said.

"Oh, what did you figure out?"

"You're going to die."
