On the first day of August, the sky is high and autumn is cool.

Lingran opened the big tent and walked out, the strong wind blew the clothes rattling.For a moment, he gazed at the ethereal white clouds in the sky without speaking.

Thinking of the Destroying Heaven Realm, everyone said that his sect was the most ferocious in the world.The place where the teacher's gate is located is surrounded by white clouds, so for people in this world, is Xiaoyao Mountain above the clouds, or is it the mountain in the clouds?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help grinning.The black snake seemed to understand his thoughts in an instant, and hissed. "Baby, what I said that day was all angry words, don't take it seriously!"

"I didn't take it seriously!"

Lingran smiled, then buried her head and walked away alone.He didn't go back to the tent he was assigned, nor did he go to the valley where the civil and military officials gathered.He walked along the wild grass all the way to the back of Mount Tai.

The black snake spoke to him again, but he didn't answer.

It seems that something in the dark is quietly changing.But no one knew where Lingran, who was about to be named a national teacher, went, what he saw, and what he thought about that day.

He threw the black snake deep in the grass, and the black snake got up to chase after him. He turned his head, pointed with his hand, and smiled very faintly.

"Da Lang, there must be a distance between you and me."

"What is the distance?"

"If you chase after me today, you and I won't even be friends."

The black snake froze for a moment, wandering meandering through the grass, watching the familiar white clothes drift away, and finally disappeared in the depths of the blue mist.

After another three days, Li Shimin finally issued an edict after the Fengyue Grand Ceremony to formally crown Lingran as a national teacher.

That day, Lingran was wearing a black cloak embroidered with white cranes and a high purple gold crown on her head.Standing there, he looked at the copper bowl that Li Shimin had just rewarded in his hand, and felt that it was neither fish nor fowl.

"Shouldn't it be wearing cassock?"

He lowered his eyelids and asked the servant who bent over and knelt at his feet to smooth his wrinkles.

"Master Huiguo," the servant carefully smoothed the last crease in his palm, with a hint of laughter in his voice. "This is the first time Datang has conferred a national teacher, presumably this outfit is the meaning of the Holy Master."

Ha, I guess I wanted to become a Taoist priest!It's a pity that by mistake, a monk from outside took him away.

Lingran laughed at herself faintly.With a flick of the finger, the copper bowl made a humming sound, and the lingering sound was lingering, and it was transmitted directly outside the tent.

Prince Li Chengqian opened the curtain and came in.Today, Li Chengqian was dressed in a Hu suit, and he looked more and more like a bee waist and a monkey back, with unbelievably handsome eyebrows and eyes.

"Everyone go out! I have something to say to the national teacher!"

"Yes!"

Seven or eight servants led more than a dozen maids and bowed out.In the empty big tent, the wind blew in from the opened curtain, and Lingran was vigilant for a while.

"What does the prince want to say to the poor monk?"

Lingran felt that it was not a good thing, subconsciously put his left hand behind his back, held the copper bowl in his right, stepped back with one foot, and took a fighting posture.

Li Chengqian glanced at the corner of his eyes and curled his lips into a sneer. "Why, Master Guoshi also knows that he has a guilty conscience?"

Li Chengqian is not drunk today.

Li Chengqian, who was not drunk, looked a bit like Li Shimin, whether he spoke with a smile or not, it always seemed to have an unfinished deep meaning.

Lingran bared her teeth and smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white glutinous rice teeth, and the corners of her eyes were slightly curved. "Prince, tell me what you have to say! Little monk, I am a stupid person, this person must be stupid, his heart is real, and he doesn't understand!"

Li Chengqian walked up to him in two or three steps, grabbed the collar of his cloak, and said with a ferocious face: "I want you to remember! Your glory and wealth today is all in exchange for Cui Yu's life!"

"Yo! That's not Cui Yu..."

Before Lingran could finish his defense, Li Chengqian suddenly spat viciously in his face.A big mouthful of thick phlegm flew towards him like this.

"I.fuck.your ancestors!"

Lingran swiped her legs, and quickly backed away.With this retreat, he retreated directly outside the tent.With a bang, it abruptly passed through the linoleum of the tent and landed at the foot of the grassy Mount Tai.

"who?!"

Two patrolling Habayashi soldiers rushed over immediately, pressing their hands on the handle of the knife.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Lingran straightened her cloak, coughed twice, and cleared her throat. "Well, my national teacher tries on the new clothes to see if they are suitable for walking around. Haha!"

He laughed dryly, and then swaggered away under the dubious eyes of the Habayashi soldiers.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Lingran stopped, touched her own face, frowned and said to Hei Snake: "Da Lang, this prince..."

"Hiss! Let me go and kill him!"

"Forget it, anyway, he is also a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be jumping for a few days!

Lingran waved his hand, casually holding the copper bowl, and walked back to the big tent more than ten feet away.

Behind him, a piece of dark blue brocade was arched in the grass, and then lifted up, it was a child with long hair wearing a dark blue tunic pattern jacket.His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Li Chengqian, and he is Li Zhi, the third son of Li Shimin, the king of Jin.

Li Zhi held the paper kite he had just picked up from the grass, looked at Lingran's back, then lowered his eyelids, and slowly clenched it tightly.

After a few breaths, the paper kite in his hand shattered into several pieces and flew in mid-air, cracked like a rag.

"My lord! My little lord!"

The attendant of Prince Jin's mansion came after him with his robes in his hand, panting as he ran.

As soon as Li Zhi turned his head, he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "It's nothing. The paper kite is lost, let's go back!"

At noon, Lingran climbed to the summit of Mount Tai, and was officially appointed as a national teacher.

In front of him was the mist surrounded by mountains, civil and military officials stood in front of the steps and congratulated him from a distance, and the faces of all the people were hidden in the depth of the clouds and mist, like a dream bubble.

Li Shimin sat in the golden chair without saying a word, with a slight smile in his eyes.But Lingran couldn't laugh.With a sullen face, he was personally in the middle of it, witnessing that the glorious Tang Dynasty was like the scorching sun behind the mountains, rising from the ground.This is irresistible, this official cannot be resigned.

This fate, like a ladle thrown on the ground, turns when touched.

Lingran only felt that it was extremely absurd.

Just for one rain, he was made a national teacher. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?He lowered his eyes and smiled lightly and coldly.

On the way back from Mount Tai, Li Shimin asked him: "The national teacher can figure it out, when will it rain?"

"Forget it, there will definitely be rain within a month." Lingran said lightly. "There has been a long drought in the Huai-Ji area, and the rain has fallen. How much rainfall is enough depends on God's will."

"January is too long!"

Li Shimin sat high on the horse, turned his head and said to Lingran: "Can you go faster?"

"How long does the Lord want?"

"Three days. Of course, the sooner the better."

Lingran lowered her eyelids and said quietly: "Then it will be seven days!"

"Okay! Just seven days! No more!"

Li Shimin nodded, and walked away surrounded by the crowd.

That night, in Lingran's tent, the black snake slipped down from his fingertips. "Can it really rain within seven days?"

"Of course it is!"

Lingran lowered her head to make up the bed, without even looking at the black snake.

The black snake had no choice but to obediently swim up along Lingran's fingers, climb onto Lingran's shoulder, raised his head, and looked at Lingran with eyes the size of sesame seeds. "Baby, have you thought about it? Can it rain in three days?"

"Seven days!"

Lingran corrected him with a smile, brushed off the bedding casually, lifted the white robe, sat cross-legged, and said quietly: "Within seven days, there will definitely be rain in Huaiji."

"Honey, how do you know..."

"Little monk, I can pinch and count!"

Lingran interrupted him with a smile.The water chestnut lips are upturned, but there is no smile in the eyes.

"Who are you kidding!"

Black Snake tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then turned anxious, and hissed hurriedly: "Baby, this must not be joked! He is the emperor of the world, and I cannot beat him in this world!"

"You don't need to fight him!" Lingran laughed. "It's really raining!"

He tried so hard to comfort Hei Snake, but Hei Snake was still listless, completely disbelieving.

Lingran had no choice but to say a few more perfunctory words. "Don't worry about this matter! Dalang, I really know how to count!"

The weather forecast in the previous life was not for nothing.If it hadn't been for the sudden thunder, which was completely unexpected, he would not have fallen into the realm of destroying heaven and turned into a bead.

Furthermore, he can easily count plum blossoms.The phrase "can pinch and count" is really not a lie.He has been in Jiange for ten years, and he knows the same sword moves, but thanks to Ling Fuzi's nagging for ten years, he still remembers a little bit of kung fu.

Lingran yawned, and then completely forgot about it.In the middle of the night, he turned over and woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, and touched the ring finger of his left hand habitually, but found that the black snake was not there.

He sat up suddenly, pulled his shoes out of the bed and searched for a long time, finally saw a very thin tail in the gap of the big tent.If he hadn't been with this black snake day and night, he would have just stepped on it as if a handful of hair had fallen from the ground.

Lingran protected the candle in her hand, and walked out following the tail of the black snake.Opening the curtain, he saw that Black Snake was looking at the moon with his head up and thinking.

Lingran couldn't help laughing. "Comrade Dalang, what are you looking at?"

"Look if it's going to rain today!"

Black Snake hissed twice, then turned back to him seriously and said, "If you don't get down, I will try my best to use my spiritual energy again to go to Huaiji to make it rain for you!"

"No need!"

Lingran is funny, but also inexplicably touched.A candle in the dark night illuminates a small piece of light in my hand.The light was his and his.

The wind blows the weak candle flame, Lingran protects it with her hands, lowers her eyelids, and unknowingly raises the corners of her lips.

"Honey, do you really know how to count?"

"Well, it will count."

"That guy Lingfu said that his Taoism is as powerful as the sky, damn it! I have never seen him have such ability to call wind and rain in Mietian Realm!"

The black snake frantically spouted its spirit whisk, then opened its eyes the size of sesame seeds in disdain, and groaned: "To call the wind and rain, this must be the ability of my dragon clan!"

Ling Ran couldn't help laughing. "Comrade Dalang, just believe what happened to me, okay?"

"It's not that I don't believe you..."

"You just can't trust me!"

The black snake trembled, raised its head pitifully and swam two steps closer to Lingran, sticking to his wheat-colored ankle, without making a sound.

Lingran squatted on the ground and felt that her feet were a little numb. She pinched the black snake with her fingertips and laughed. "Dalang, do you still have something on your mind?"

"Gone."

The black snake drooped its head, and hissed in a particularly listless manner. For the first time, it took the initiative to walk away from Lingran, coiled its body into a rope, looked up at the moon and meditated.

Lingran simply ignored him, swaggered back to the bed and fell asleep again.

Afterwards, on the way back to Chang'an, for three consecutive days, the black snake was outside the tent every night, looking at the moon and wondering what he was thinking.It was already the seventh day of the agreement between Lingran and Li Shimin outside Chang'an City, and there was still no good news from Huaiji.

That morning, when Lingran woke up, he found that the black snake had disappeared, and next to him lay Qingliu Dalang in red.

"Baby, let me go for a walk!"

Seeing him waking up, Qingliu Dalang hurriedly turned over and sat up, and said to him solemnly.

"You don't need to go!" Lingran held him down.

Press it down with one hand, the touch is extremely cold, and the wet sea water mixed with the fishy wind penetrates into the bone marrow.Lingran couldn't help shivering.It was clear that Qingliu Dalang's hands were extremely cold, but he seemed to be scalded by a branding iron, and hastily retracted his hands into the sleeves of his Zen robe.

"Comrade Dalang, really, you believe me this time! It will definitely rain at noon today, and it will rain all over the country!"

"really?"

Qingliu Dalang wrinkled his beautiful face, his skin was as white as jade, and the eyes with dark gold in the amber still had light flowing.

Such a close distance, high nose and deep eyes, focused and fiery eyes, Lingran hardly dared to look at him.

Just when Lingran thought that this person was looking at him and was about to say something earth-shattering or embarrassing to him... Qingliu Dalang suddenly said: "Honey, why don't we run away?"

"what?"

Lingran thought that there was something wrong with her ears, so she raised her head to look seriously at Qingliu Dalang's eyes, then turned her ears again, and cleaned out the earwax with her little finger. "Dalang, say it again!"

For Lingran's unrefined movements, Qingliu Dalang didn't feel strange in the slightest, his expression was still tense, he put his hand on Lingran's shoulder stiffly, and stared at Lingran solemnly.

Then, he said to him without any shame, "Baby, let's run away! Anyway, even if it rains, there must be a lot of things to do later, and I can't finish my work. I'm exhausted!" Let's just run away!"

"……where to?"

Is it possible to leave now?Lingran jumped for joy.

This surprise came so fast, I couldn't believe it!

"Da Lang, can we leave Datang?"

Qingliu Dalang frowned, and pondered for a moment, "It will take some time to leave this small world."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for my spiritual power to recover!"

Qingliu Dalang frowned even tighter. "Right now, I'm afraid I can only shuttle through half of the interface, and I may not be able to reach the next small world safely."

"That's it!"

As soon as Lingran heard that there was nothing going on, she immediately lost all interest, yawned lazily, fell down on her head, and lay down again. "Since you can't leave this world, why not enjoy the glory and wealth in Datang with peace of mind!"

"But it's a common saying in the world, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger!"

Qingliu Dalang was in a hurry, so he leaned over and pushed him.

Lingran waved his hand casually, and said indifferently: "At noon today, everything is settled! Besides, Li Shimin is okay..."

By the end of the first few words, the voice has been blurred.

Lingran almost fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and even snored loudly.There was a series of sweet little purrs, and now and then the sound of bubbles popping could be heard in the air.

Qingliu Dalang was stunned, maintaining the previous posture of bending over and staring, looking deeply at Lingran.After an unknown amount of time, the dark golden pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was blank.

"Baby, baby?"

Aoyagi Dalang pushed him persistently.

Lingran remained motionless in her sleep, only her eyelashes fluttered twice, followed by a series of soft snores.

Qingliu Dalang turned his head down to contemplate, then got off the bed, stepped on the ground with his black boots, and sprinted out without a sound.
