Chapter 334: Is there anyone capable in Dajiang? The magic in the world is truly amazing. Lin Jue was savoring the delicious food while recalling the wonderful and splendid magic. The fox has a brain disease - Even though it had become so small that any piece of food on the table was enough for it to eat, it just jumped around on the table. Whenever it saw what Lin Jue was eating, it would jump over and grab it from him. He was jumping around and having fun when suddenly, there was a darkness above his head and an empty cup fell from the sky, covering him. The fox was stunned. But in this hall, it was not possible for it to shout out loud. All I could hear was a muffled voice coming from outside: "Today is your Majesty's birthday banquet. I came here and saw that there were civil and military officials from all nations coming to pay homage. The palace was filled with outstanding people and the table was full of delicacies, but there was only one thing missing." "What?"
"Longevity peaches too." This is a strange man in the world. The strange man of Jianghu bowed to the emperor and the guests and said, "Since the palace forgot to prepare anything, I prepared some for your majesty and you all, but I don't know if it will be enough." The old emperor smiled and nodded. The guests in the palace also knew that it was not because the palace forgot to prepare, but because they were waiting for this moment. Then the strange man from Jianghu brought a handful of yellow soil, a seed and a cup of water, and actually planted the seed in the temple and watered it. Under the gaze of civil and military officials and foreign envoys, the strange man of martial arts muttered an incantation, and as he chanted the incantation, a tender sprout actually grew out of the soil on the ground, with a seed shell on top. After the leaves unfolded and the shell fell off, it immediately began to grow rapidly. The strange man in the martial arts world chanted the spell faster and faster, and the seeds grew faster and faster. They quickly rose from the ground, and in a few breaths, they grew to half the height of the palace and spread out their branches and leaves. At this time, the seed has grown into a big tree. The trunk is thick and the branches are luxuriant. Peaches as big as bowls began to grow under the branches. At this time, the fox had been released by Lin Jue and was standing on his shoulder watching the scene. A strange man in the martial arts world ordered people to distribute birthday peaches. It was first delivered to the emperor, then to the imperial concubine and the prince, and then to each person one by one. Surprisingly, there was just one for each person. The prince ate first, and then the emperor started eating. All the guests in the hall started to speak. It’s not a real peach, but a steamed longevity peach made from dough. "This spell is powerful! If we learn it, we won't be hungry no matter where we go!" The fox whispered to Lin Jue.
"Ah……" Lin Jue picked it up from his shoulder, put it on the table, and said, "Then you need to have a royal kitchen that can make so many birthday peaches." "Jade eel yellow?" "..." Lin Jue broke off a piece of the peach that was bigger than it and threw it directly at it: "Eat." The fox pretended to be weak and rolled twice on the table. Looking further ahead—— The strange man cast a spell and waved his sleeves, and the peach tree shrank downwards, as if it had shrunk back into the soil. He dug out the seeds from the soil, put them back in his pocket, then asked the emperor for a reward and left. Then another strange man came into the hall and said that all the civil and military officials and foreign envoys had brought gifts to the emperor. Although the emperor thanked them, he wanted to give everyone a little thank you gift on behalf of the emperor. Everyone knew that this was the words of the Jianghu people before performing magic, so they were not surprised and just looked at them curiously. So the strange man rolled a mud ball and placed it in the east corner of the palace, saying that he could borrow the noble aura of the palace to turn it into a treasure. After a moment of murmur, smoke rose. The mud ball turned into a pearl. He also asked the palace maids to deliver pearls to each table one by one, with each person getting a few. Lin Jue picked up a pill and looked at it casually. It is definitely a pearl. At this moment, the fox was pushing the pearl, which was not much smaller than himself, and rolling it around on the table. Another strange man came up to offer wine, but he exclaimed that there was not enough wine, so he gave each person half a cup. However, he used his fingers to cut the cup into two halves from top to bottom without spilling the wine. There were a total of about ten such extraordinary performances. Not to mention the civil and military officials and envoys in the hall, even the monk Lin Jue was amazed many times and looked very satisfied. Only in the opposite delegation, several envoys from Dazu sat still. Although a few of them could not resist the excitement of the theatrics and were moved, the envoy in the middle remained motionless. At this moment, everyone had a solemn expression. The longevity peaches on the table were untouched, the pearls were still on the plate, and no one drank the half-glass of wine. Both deliberate and conspicuous. Civil and military officials had seen it a long time ago, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. Other envoys had also seen it a long time ago, but they didn't dare to point it out. But pretending not to see is obviously not an option. The old emperor looked over there, and asked slowly: "Why do the Dazu delegation look unhappy? Could it be that such wonderful magic does not please you?" In an instant, all the guests in the hall looked over there, and even the Taoist priests who had been given seats for performing magic just now also looked over there. "Your Majesty, please forgive me! That's not what I meant!" The older envoy in the middle immediately stood up and saluted respectfully to the emperor, as well as to the Taoist priests and other strange people.
"Then why is the messenger so serious and why doesn't he enjoy the peaches and wine on the table?" "Your Majesty, please understand! All the masters, please understand! This kind of magic is naturally wonderful, and this kind of ability is like that of a god. If I were ten years earlier, or in another place, I would be amazed to see this kind of magic!" The envoy bowed, with proper etiquette, neither humble nor arrogant, "But..." The envoy deliberately did not finish his words. Some people in the hall were confused, some were thoughtful, and some had unfriendly expressions. "But what?" "However, I heard that there are military towns in the north of Dajiang that have rebelled, and the descendants of the King of Yue in the south are also recruiting soldiers. There are also frequent monsters causing chaos in Dajiang. We encountered quite a few on the way here. I think other delegations have also encountered some on the way here, right?" The envoy deliberately looked around at the other delegations and pulled them in. "So although this kind of magic is wonderful, it is ultimately a method of prosperity. I don't mean to look down on this kind of magic, but for Dajiang at this time, what is more needed is probably the ability to eliminate monsters and quell rebellions, rather than the magic of gods that amazes people and entertains people." When these words were spoken, both the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked. The envoys from various countries were also shocked. They couldn't believe that the envoy from Dazu dared to say such words on the birthday of Emperor Dajiang! However, Dazu is now strong in military power, while Dajiang is facing internal and external troubles, decline and corruption. Everyone is obviously aware of the struggle between the two, and no one dares to offend. Some people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at the Dazu envoy or the Dajiang Emperor, as if they had shrunk their heads. "Humph……" Although the old emperor was old and incompetent, he did not respond to his words, but said: "Da Zu knows my Da Jiang very well!" There was a sudden sense of tension in the hall. However, the Dazu envoy remained unafraid, polite but bold, and seemed to have been prepared for this. He just continued to salute and said: "I want to say that this is what I have seen and heard along the way, but to say so would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. The fact is that it is impossible not to understand that Dajiang is the center of the world and the most prosperous and great country. The envoys who came here, no matter where they came from, are the ones who know Dajiang best and have admired Dajiang since childhood. "I am forty years old this year. I still remember that twenty years ago, I also came to the capital of Dajiang as an envoy with my superior. At that time, Dajiang was a peaceful country, just like the country in the legend. Our officials, generals, and envoys all worshiped and admired Dajiang when they mentioned it." The Dazu envoy paused for a moment: "But only twenty years have passed, and the changes are so great. And today, when I came here and saw Da Jiang... Even at this time, the emperor and the crown prince have not yet thought of a way to eliminate the demons and quell the rebellion. Instead, they brought these magic spells that should have been used to show the prosperity of the country to perform and attract attention. They even said that this is to show that the country is full of immortal spirits and that many masters have emerged..." "Be bold!" The prince shouted in great anger. But the Dazu envoy raised his head, looked directly at the prince, and continued calmly: "In my opinion, Dajiang has no capable people left." The envoys around him also held their heads high and remained calm, as if they were not afraid of life or death. When the many civil and military officials and envoys in the hall saw this, they all understood that the Dazu delegation had made preparations when they came and had chosen this time specifically. Their confidence comes from, on the one hand, the strength of their own country, and on the other hand, from their own magnanimity. In the corner of the hall, the young civil servant was surprised, almost as much as he had just seen the master perform magic. But he had not expected that the hall, which was filled with fairy air and a mysterious and amazing atmosphere, would reach this point in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, he continued to write furiously. Fortunately, there is also a gentleman on the left side of the hall: "What nonsense! The rebellion of the northern military garrison will be quelled soon. The story of the descendants of the King of Yue in the south is completely fabricated! Now our country of Great Jiang is peaceful and prosperous, how can it not be a prosperous era?" After hearing this, the Dazu envoy just calmly replied: "Why do you want to deceive yourself?" "I am speaking the truth! Moreover, today is your majesty's birthday, so you should do auspicious things and say auspicious words. This is how the magic of the gods and immortals works! You are a barbarian, so why do you say that your majesty and your highness are only interested in this kind of magic that amuses people? Aren't you afraid that your majesty will behead you for your outrageous words?"
"Oh?" The Dazu envoy laughed, "Does that mean that in addition to these magic spells that amaze people and entertain people, Dajiang also has masters who are good at exorcising demons and fighting magic, and warriors who are powerful on the battlefield?" "nature!" "That's perfect! Among my entourage, there are also some who can perform magic, and some warriors who are particularly good at fighting! Only this kind of performance is suitable for today's Jiang! And it happens to be a lively day, why not invite them out to communicate, so that your majesty and the guests can have fun?" "You disturbed His Majesty's birthday. Aren't you afraid of death?" "How can it be considered a disturbance? The experts that Dajiang needs now are exactly this kind of people!" "Be bold!" "Here's the head!" "you……" The official was shocked, but he dared not agree to such a request, so he turned to look at the old emperor and the prince. Everyone understood what the Dazu delegation meant. Now the Gray-clad Dazu are ready to make a move in the north. If they win today, it will prove that Dajiang is weak and has no warriors. If they lose, they can also test Dajiang's ability. It's no loss. The only loss is that these people may be killed here because of the king's anger. The old emperor was seen coughing violently on the dragon throne. The prince bent over and listened to what his advisers said. After a while, the prince came out and said, "Today is our father's birthday, so it is not appropriate to do this. Moreover, there are so many envoys here, I am afraid they will be frightened, which is really not good." "You can't fight with weapons, but you can fight with words." "What is the meaning of civil and military?" "Warfare is the way to go, and respect for rules is the way to be polite. At this moment, in this situation, we naturally cannot fight, so we agree on the rules and perform only for the entertainment of your majesty and the guests." "Send your people here." "it is good!" The Dazu delegation smiled and looked confident. The prince felt at ease when he looked at the masters of Juxian Mansion and Taoist Yushan who were sitting below. (End of this chapter)
