Chapter 38 Master Lu Yi

Daxing City, which is dominant on the banks of the Wei River, is located in Guanzhong. It has been built in the second year of Kaihuang in Emperor Wen of Sui and completed in nine months. It has been the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties for hundreds of years.

There is a seven-story star-gazing tower in the west of Daxing Palace. Two Taoist priests, one old and one young, are calculating the star ephemeris at this time. A meteor shower suddenly fell in the south, which is a strange phenomenon in the sky.

The old man was named Fu Renjun, who was promoted to the Volcano Order and was a famous master of astrology and starry sky in the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui attached great importance to astrology, so Fu Renjun was very favored.

He had two disciples around him, about twenty years old, named Li Bo, who was the eldest disciple. Next to him was a young man about ten years old, whose family's surname was Yuan, and Fu Renjun named him Tiangang.

After the southern meteor shower ended, Fu Renjun immediately asked what to do to answer the two disciples.

The eldest disciple Li Bo said: "Purple-celebration Chenxu, opposite the palace Pojun, the Southern Dipper Emperor Star is dull, Gou Chen falls, and the North Dipper Ziwei is bright, which is the illumination of the unification of the world."

Yuan Tiangang, the disciple of the closed party, also agreed with the elder brother's speculation, but later raised questions: "Although the purple-celebration Chen Xu is a unified illumination, the end of the sky is in Si Hai. Zikan Si Hai sits in life and transforms power. The poem says: 'Reverse to Zhenxiang', Zhen is the next name of Chen Zhen next year. Zikan will meet the heavenly punishment, and the power will be empty and empty. The power is empty and the name is empty. The emperor of Nanchen does not hold real power, and his life lies in generals. Therefore, unification of the world is only a superficial phenomenon, and the generals of Nanchen can achieve true unity. Since it is a virtual image, the fall of tens of thousands of meteors cannot be seen in appearance."

Fu Renjun asked with great interest: "What does that Tiangang think represents?"

Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and said, "Disciple believes that it means that the heavenly soldiers and generals will descend to the earth and hide the dragon in the abyss. The world will inevitably be in chaos within twenty years, and the heroes will compete for the destiny, and the world of the Central Plains will be vast. It must be the raging war and the blood will flow into the river."

Li Bo immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. If you tell the emperor like this, you will definitely be furious. You and I can't afford to take care of it!"

Fu Renjun sighed and said, "The emperor will ask about this heavenly sign later. Boer will tell the emperor about this words. The emperor will definitely be happy, and you can enter the officialdom!"

Li Bo was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly thanked the master and hurriedly went downstairs.

Looking at Li Bo's back, Fu Renjun shook his head and sighed, secretly begging him, a great disciple, to be unable to let go of fame and fortune, but it is not suitable to continue practicing with him.

Yuan Tiangang asked in confusion: "Master, isn't the emperor offering us to tell the truth? Why don't you tell him the truth?"

Fu Renjun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This is God's will! You will understand when you reach the position of teacher!"

Although Yuan Tiangang didn't understand very well, he did not dare to disobey his master's orders, so he said, "Since that's the case, then the master should teach Tiangang quickly and Tuibei. The disciples can't wait."

Fu Renjun smiled slightly, so he took Yuan Tiangang away from the Star Gazing Tower.

Following the instructions of his master, Li Bo told Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty to the emperor. Yang Jian immediately believed it and rewarded Li Bo as the ruling of Qizhou.

The next morning, Yang Jian summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter of attacking Chen.

Gao Ying said that at this time, Concubine Zhang Lihua from Nanchen had already obtained military support from Xiao Mohe, and the destruction of Empress Shen and the replacement of Zhang Lihua as the new queen had been put on the agenda. Kong Guiren was unwilling to lose his power, and the forces in the Korean and Chinese headed by Kong Fan were making their last attempt.

Because of the deposed and established the queen, Chen Ting had already been in chaos.

Yang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this and issued an official edict to attack Chen under Gao Ying's strong persuasion.

In October 588 AD, Yang Jian set up the Huainan province in Shouchun, and appointed King Yang Guang of Jin as the Secretary of State to coordinate various troops and horses, and used Gao Qian as the marshal to decide the strategy of the march. King Yang Jun of Qin and Yang Su were the marshals of the army. He led 80 general managers and more than 500,000 troops, divided into eight routes to attack Chen.

When the news reached Jiankang, the people of Nanchen were suddenly in panic, but Chen Shubao didn't care at all. On the contrary, because of the marriage between Xiao Ping and Princess Jinling, he was dissatisfied with Xiao Moha and the suspicion of the king and his ministers, and Kong Fan took the opportunity to separate part of Xiao Moha's military power.

But Xiao Moha still holds the military power of more than 100,000 troops, but Chen Shubao still dares not turn against him.

Seeing that the marriage between Xiao Ping and Princess Jinling was a foregone conclusion, although they had to wait ten years before they could get married, Xiao Mohe was particularly happy. The revengeful pleasure made him feel extremely comfortable.

But Xiao Yi led Xiao Ya to chase a hare all over the mountains and fields. When he entered a forest, he almost shot someone else.

Suddenly, an old man came out, who was about fifty years old and was slightly thin but very energetic.

Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked if he was injured. The old man glanced at half of the sharp arrow deep in the tree trunk, and then looked up and down. He didn't expect that a child would have such strong power, which really surprised him.

When he looked at the bow held in Xiao Yi's hand, the old man asked curiously: "Why is your bow different from others? It looks very strange!"

Seeing that the other party was an old man, Xiao Yi was not wary of it, and he immediately said, "I have modified this bow by myself. It only takes a little effort to dig the bow, so you don't have to be surprised, grandpa."

The old man became even more curious, so he borrowed a bow from Xiao Yi and played with him.

The old man bent his bow and shot arrows several times. After feeling the strength and accurate head, he kept wondering, and hurriedly asked Xiao Yi what the principle was.

Xiao Yi didn't want to say much to strangers and wanted to get his bow back, but said, "It's just a set of pulley sets and labor-saving windings. Although the principle is simple, you won't understand it even if you tell me."

Seeing that Xiao Yi was not interested in talking to him, the old man asked, "The stars fell like rain last night. Have you ever seen me?"

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya nodded at the same time. The old man then asked if he had discovered a star fall nearby. Xiao Yi immediately guessed that the old man was here to look for the meteorite.

Xiao Yi knew that the meteorite was nearby, so he came out to chase the rabbits around today to see it, but now the old man also had this intention, so the three of them looked for the direction where the meteorite fell last night.

The three of them searched for a few hours before they discovered the place where the meteorite fell.

The meteorite smashed out a huge pit that was more than five meters deep and more than one hundred meters in radius. The trees, flowers and plants around it were burnt. The meteorite in the center of the crater was only the size of a football.

The meteorite was dark, and Xiao Yi just wanted to see it, and had no intention of possession. The old man was different. He came over to this meteorite. So Xiao Yi gave it to him generously.

I saw the old man holding the meteorite in his hand as if he had a treasure, and tears filled his eyes with excitement.

Xiao Yi immediately curled his lips and said, "No need to be so excited! It's just a broken stone!"

The old man smiled and said, "My friend doesn't know anything! The stars falling from the sky are all treasures, and the lowest-grade one is also an excellent melting stone for tempering divine weapons. If you encounter the top-grade star fall, you can only make a little smelting to make a magic weapon that cuts iron like mud."

The old man pointed to the meteorite in his hand and continued, "This is the top-grade star fall, commonly known as meteorite. I roughly need to start a while, I am afraid it weighs 150 kilograms, which is enough to create several magical weapons."

Xiao Yi then remembered that the iron smelting technology in this era was not developed, and the quality of China's iron ore was not good. There were too many impurities, and most of the iron refined did not meet the combat requirements. The so-called iron-cutting like mud was named after these iron tools that looked like tofu. Only a very small number of craftsmen could create fine steel knives in the modern sense, but they had to find excellent iron ore.

Obviously, this meteorite belongs to the category of high-quality iron ore.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi immediately regretted it. If he had known that this thing was missing these days, he would not have given it to this old man generously.

The old man seemed to see Xiao Yi's thoughts and immediately smiled and said, "It's good. If my friend is willing to tell me how your bow is made, how about you 50 kilograms of meteorite?"

"I don't want it!"

Xiao Yi is not stupid. His bow is a shocking thing in this era. If this bow is applied to the battlefield in the future, the effect will be amazing. Xiao Yi is still counting on this bow to become famous, so how could he tell others easily?

Xiao Yi turned around and left with Xiao Ya. The old man seemed very unwilling to accept it and followed him all the way to Yuhua Xiaoxie.

It happened that Aunt Lan had prepared the meal and asked Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya to have dinner. When she saw the old man, Aunt Lan was shocked.

The old man also noticed Aunt Lan. He hadn't recognized it at first, but he remembered it when Aunt Lan called Uncle Lu.

"Are you Zhiruo girl?"

"Yes! I've been missing for more than ten years. Uncle Lu is in good health?"

"Very good!Very good!"

Uncle Lu laughed a few times, and the acquaintances were naturally very happy to meet.

Xiao Yi was worried that he could not drive away the old man. He didn't expect that he was an acquaintance with Aunt Lan, but he was now entangled with him.

Aunt Lan invited Uncle Lu to sit in the room, and she was very attentive to make tea and pour water. She even kept him for lunch.

From the conversation between the two, Xiao Yi learned that Lu Bo's name was Lu Yi, and it is said that he was a descendant of Lu Ban and was the most powerful master of the organ in the world today.

The two of them had not seen each other for many years and seemed to have a lot to say. Aunt Lan seemed to have many secrets not known, so she deliberately sent Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya away.

But this happened, Xiao Yi became even more curious and secretly felt confident that he would have to find out carefully if he had the chance in the future.

What surprised Xiao Yi was that Aunt Lan actually stayed at Lu Yi and lived in Yuhua Xiaoxie and prepared a grand dinner to entertain him.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya have never seen Aunt Lan so attentively. Many of the delicious dishes she made with good cooking skills were those they had never eaten before. Lu Yi was even more greedy. Xiao Yi even saw him drooling.

Lu Yi was very satisfied with eating, but Aunt Lan called Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya out and told them to please him.

Xiao Yi naturally had to ask clearly, so Aunt Lan told him the reason.

It turns out that Luyi is a versatile person. In addition to being good at making unique skills in the family, he also knows astronomy and geography. He has collected many good things in recent years.

Aunt Lan secretly pointed to the bag next to Lu Yi that never leaves her body, and told them that there were all good things in it, and that whatever was random would be enough to benefit for life, and she had to try her best to get it out.

The little girl suddenly screamed excitedly, and Xiao Yi hurriedly covered her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lan had this purpose, Xiao Yi immediately became interested and agreed to cooperate well.

Lu Yiben planned to stay for a night and said goodbye. He had just returned from the Fuyu Kingdom in the south to hunt for treasures and had to set off outside the pass to dig thousand-year-old ginseng. There were no planes and cars these days, so he had time to walk from Jiankang to outside the pass, so he planned to set off earlier.

Xiao Yi secretly asked Lu Yi to spend most of his life rushing on the road, so he naturally went to many places, so he must have many treasures on him.

Aunt Lan insisted on staying at Luyi for a few more days. Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya actively cooperated and pestered Luyi to tell them the interesting things in the world.

Lu Yi was very greedy, and Aunt Lan was very skilled in cooking. She changed a few famous dishes for each meal, but Lu Yi was addicted to eating it and was reluctant to leave.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya brag about Aunt Lan's cooking skills. Lu Yi argued with him and quickly took out a few small porcelain bottles to show his pie, saying that it would taste better than Aunt Lan's cooking after a little bit of taste.

Aunt Lan and Xiao Ya didn't believe it, but Xiao Yi blurted out: "Isn't it just spices? What's there to show off?"

You should know that spices are priced at gold in this era, and they are priceless.

Lu Yi was surprised and hurriedly asked Xiao Yi how he knew. Xiao Yi said it was nonsense that there was in the General's Mansion, and Lu Yi believed it too.

Thinking of the spices in Luyi's hand, Xiao Yi suddenly felt enlightened and decided to cook a few good dishes by himself.

Aunt Lan and Lu Yi were both shocked and could not believe that Xiao Yi could cook. Only Xiao Ya clapped her hands excitedly and shouted that Brother Yi was so great.

Xiao Yi decided to show them his skills. The so-called dishes in this era were all stews, steamed dishes, etc., but they had to wait until the Song Dynasty to appear.

Now that we have the spices from Luyi, Xiao Yi brought a pot and personally quarreled with several home-cooked stir-fryes from later civilizations.

Everyone was surprised by this stir-frying. Before the dishes were ready, they were drooling just by smelling the smell. As soon as the dishes were served, the three of them couldn't wait to taste them.

Lu Yi and Aunt Lan couldn't help but praise the delicious food while tasting a few side dishes, but the little girl had already opened her cheeks and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

After a while, most of the dishes were gone. Lu Yi was anxious and actually started snatching Xiao Ya.
