Chapter 85, No one can open the Golden Jade Glazed Cup
"The Taoism of Nanmei Kingdom is profound and has always been blessed by the gods. This is the national treasure of our country, the Golden Jade Glazed Cup!"
After the words fell, the little Taoists behind the eldest princess
placed the golden glazed cup as big as a tripod in the center of the banquet.
The tripod is transparent and beautifully carved, and the bottle body is golden and jade. Such materials have never been seen in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"It is said that as long as someone can open the lid of the glazed cup, the gods inside will appear, release blessings, and nourish the people!"
The eldest princess continued, looking at all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty present with disdain, with a proud sneer on her lips.
This cup has only been opened once by the emperor of their Nanmei Kingdom. It is said that the emperor has practiced Taoism and is close to the gods.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, there is no one available in this regard.
"Mother...big vase."
[This is Wanwan's big vase. ]
She was so excited that she even forgot that this was a public occasion.
Xia Wanwan ignored the expressions of the crowd and pulled Liu Wan's sleeve. Liu Wan quickly covered her mouth.
Her voice was not loud, but in this quiet atmosphere, it seemed very out of place.
The eldest princess glanced at her. The Great Xia Dynasty was really short-sighted.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to present this thing to the Great Xia Dynasty. If there is a capable person in the Great Xia Dynasty to open this thing, he can summon the gods to moisten all things. If there is no one who can be used. Our Majesty is willing to come, and we only hope that Your Majesty can agree to a small request of ours."
The emperor on the high throne pondered for a moment, knowing that their purpose of giving this gift was not pure.
But he was also unhappy to be mocked that no one in the Great Xia Dynasty could open it.
"Which minister is willing to give it a try!"
As soon as this was said, the ministers present were discussing it. Your Majesty was trying to prove the face of the Great Xia Dynasty. If he could make merit by doing so, his future would be immeasurable.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try!" The military officer General Zong shouted. He was a fourth-rank general and had made many merits. He thought that opening a mere cup lid would not be a problem.
Everyone felt that things were stable when they saw him coming.
General Zong came to the cup, holding the cup lid with both hands, and gradually exerting strength in his arms.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
But even if General Zong tried his best, with veins exposed on his forehead and sweat all over his face in the winter heat, the cup lid did not seem to move at all.
It can't be opened at all, not even a crack.
General Zong gave up, apologized and returned to his seat.
Seeing General Zong's humiliation, an old man with a strong temper could not sit still.
He slammed the table and stood up, "I'll do it!"
"It's General Mo!"
"General Mo is General Zong's master. If His Majesty hadn't personally appointed him, he would have been living in his hometown."
"It's incredible that General Mo has to do it." General
Mo came to the glass cup and found that it was indeed unusual.
He touched the lid of the cup, found the right point to apply force, took out his Vajra Sword and pried it up!
Just when he found the gap where the sword was stuck.
Pry it hard!
"Snap!" The crisp breaking sound was particularly harsh.
This is the precious sword bestowed by the late emperor. It is indestructible and can even split huge rocks.
It was broken just like that?
General Mo was stunned, and the emperor was stunned. All the ministers were stunned.
"Are the people of the Great Xia Dynasty all rough people? They can only use brute force to open it? In this way, aren't they afraid of offending the gods?"
Princess Yan Er sneered, and even her eyes looking at the emperor were full of provocation.
The emperor was unhappy and looked at Master Yuantong on the side.
A monk who has attained enlightenment will not use brute force.
Master Yuantong chanted a Buddhist name, "Amitabha, the ancestors of Jinshan Temple have never advocated the use of brute force. Let me try."
After that, he came closer, brought a group of little monks, and walked around the glass cup while chanting.
The Buddha's light entered the glass cup, but there was no movement.
The people of Niandu Nanmei Kingdom were sleepy.
Master Yuantong stretched out his hand to open it, but it still couldn't be opened!
He couldn't hold his temper anymore, "Today, I will make a decision that goes against my ancestors!"
He shouted, threw away his Zen stick, rolled up his sleeves and did it.
"Ah!" With a burst of force, the veins in his arms bulged, and finally a seam was opened.
The spiritual energy leaked out slightly, and everyone felt like a spring breeze!
"Everyone, look, Master Yuantong is about to open it!"
"Is this the spirit of the gods? It's so comfortable, it cured my new coronary pneumonia."
"Ah, spring seems to be here!" Ling Qi said
The court officials were delighted.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Master Yuantong was violently knocked out by the power leaking out from inside. He was not able to stand up until he was helped up outside the hall, spitting blood.
He waved his hands to indicate that he was powerless.
No one in Nanmei Kingdom was not laughing, especially the eldest princess and Princess Yaner, who could not stop mocking in their eyes.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he asked who else was willing to try.
No one dared to speak.
There was a dead silence in the hall, and the laughter of the people in Nanmei Kingdom became louder and louder.
[Wo, Wo thought.]
At this time, the emperor heard a faint baby voice and looked at Liu Wan.
Xia Wanwan danced with joy, "Big vase...big vase...Wo come..."
Liu Wan hurriedly lowered her head to stop her, but found that the little guy climbed very fast, twisting and turning to crawl in front of the glass cup.
The little baby, still with a pacifier in his mouth, was dressed like a dumpling and sat in front of the glass cup, looking like a small sesame ball.
Liu Wan was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She wanted to go out and bring the little girl back, but the emperor raised his hand to stop her.
The people of Nanmei Kingdom couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Great Xia Dynasty actually let a little baby who was less than one year old come out. Did they want to kill them with cuteness?
"Hahaha, little guy, go back and drink milk. You can't even touch the lid when you stand up."
"You haven't even quit the pacifier. No one will comfort you when you cry."
The laughter made Liu Wan feel ashamed. Really, how could His Majesty allow Wanwan to go out and play.
The eldest princess couldn't bear to watch it anymore and was about to speak up to stop this farce.
She said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, if you are willing to cede the frontier city of Qingli to our Nanmei, our Nanmei's Majesty is willing to come in person, open the national treasure, and protect the Great Xia Dynasty!"
The scene was dead silent.
Qingli City is the richest city on the border, rich in fruits and silk, especially its unique geographical advantages, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is simply the first line of defense between Daxia and Nanmei.
Nanmei wants Qingli City, no doubt wanting to gnaw on the flesh of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Sure enough, the purpose is not pure, the emperor was about to refuse with a stern face, and heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Ah, how did she climb up!"
Everyone looked at the glass cup, on which a baby was lying.
