Chapter 18 Who is spreading the rumor that Nezha is a naughty child? ...
"Lingzhuzi?" Fu Li was overjoyed and looked carefully. Sure enough, she saw Lingzhuzi standing there with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Fu Li quickly slipped on her slippers and got off the bed. She suddenly rushed over and grabbed his hand, shaking it unconsciously and asking, "Why did you come back just now? I was discussing it with my two junior sisters yesterday. I wondered how long it would take for you to come back."
Hearing this, Ling Zhuzi burst out laughing, tapped her forehead with a mixture of anger and amusement, and sneered, "Yesterday? Do you know how long you've been unconscious? Yesterday."
He was originally copying a book in the Snail Palace when he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He subconsciously thought that she was in some danger. He hurriedly said something to Nuwa and ran over with the half-copied scroll in his arms.
Sure enough, when he arrived, he saw the usually lively little girl lying on the couch with a flushed face, and a witch doctor who had no magical power at all was about to perform a ritual.
What is the point of someone who obviously has never practiced cultivation pretending to be a learner?
Lingzhuzi was feeling annoyed, so he stepped forward and pushed the witch doctor away. He put his right index and middle fingers together, placed them on her forehead, and used his spiritual power to probe into her body, only to find out that she was cursed.
"Curse?" Fu Li was shocked. "Who would curse me?"
So far, the only people she had a grudge against were Dai Bo's family.
But she has already retreated to Boyi. Even for the sake of his master, Dai Bo would not kill her, right?
Ling Zhuzi snorted and laughed, "Have you offended enough people? Which of those small-time slave chiefs in the fiefdom doesn't hate you in their hearts?"
They had finally made it through and were about to emulate their predecessors in their tyranny, but Dai Fuli suddenly appeared, forcing them to keep to themselves and no longer exercise any privileges.
Even if Fuli gave the person sweet dates, it would not completely appease him.
Fu Li felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still said, "It can't be helped. If I want to do these two practical things properly, I can't avoid offending people. If I were afraid of offending people, I wouldn't take on these things."
Ling Zhuzi smiled: "You are so young, but you are quite insightful."
Fu Li wanted to say, "I'm not a child anymore," but she couldn't say it, so she glared at him and changed the subject.
"So, it was those little bosses who cast the curse on me?"
"That's not the case. They don't have the guts yet." Ling Zhuzi's expression revealed a hint of pride, but then his face darkened again, and he said coldly, "After I broke the spell, I did some calculations with my fingers and found that the source was from Dai Country."
At this point, he couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice and teased: "What evil did you do when you were in Dai State? Why did they do this to you time and time again?"
Fu Li spat at him and said stubbornly, "How can it be three or five times? Including this time, it's only twice."
But the next moment, her face darkened and she sighed, "I didn't expect Dai Bo to be so petty. I had already retreated for more than three times, but he still chased me and tried to kill me."
She was a little worried about Hua Jing. Judging from Dai Bo's character, she was afraid that he was also holding a grudge against his own sister for not giving him money.
Now that she was far away, Dai Bo, as a feudal lord, could not enter Boyi before a specific time. Apart from using some sinister and evil magic, he could not do anything directly to her.
But Hua Jing is still in Yucang Mountain.
Huanghua Temple was originally the ancestral temple of the Dai family. In the past, when Dai Bo was away, Hua Jing was considered the owner. Now that the legitimate owner has returned, it would be easy for anyone to embarrass Hua Jing.
Putting aside other things, it is easy to find fault with the way Hua Jing presided over the sacrifice.
When King Tang attacked the State of Ge, his excuse for the war was that the King of Ge did not perform sacrificial rituals and was disrespectful to his ancestors.
"Lingzhuzi, can I ask you for a favor?" She grabbed his hand tightly, raised her head and looked at him eagerly, her tone full of unconscious intimacy and coquettishness.
Ling Zhuzi's ears suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously cleared his throat and said reservedly, "Tell me about it."
He didn't want to appear too easy to talk to, but Fu Li knew him well. From the tone of his voice, she knew that he had actually agreed, and she immediately smiled happily.
"Good Lingzhuzi, I knew you were the most powerful and righteous god in the world. You would hate to see anyone embarrass good people." Fu Li skillfully flattered him, flattering him so much that he couldn't even suppress it. Then he said, "I know your Wind Fire Wheels are powerful. Even a thousand miles can be covered in a flash. Please go to Yucang Mountain and help me check on my master to see if Dai Bo has been embarrased by anyone. Okay? Okay?"
Lingzhuzi felt that his whole body was light and comfortable.
The corners of his mouth were clearly raised, but he forced an impatient expression and frowned, saying, "Alright, alright, stop shaking it. You're shaking my bones apart!"
Fu Li grinned and said, "How could that be? You have a body of steel!"
She moved closer, standing on tiptoe until she was at his chest. Her eyes were sparkling, like the rippling surface of a lake on a spring day, with only him reflected on the surface.
"You promised, you promised?"
Ling Zhuzi suddenly looked away, trying to calm his pounding heart. He said unyieldingly, "I just can't stand people bullying the weak. Just wait, I'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a breeze and floated out through the gap in the window frame.
After a while, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Fu Yue walked in with a bowl of meat soup.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Fu Yue quickly stepped forward to support her and said with a smile, "Shangxian Lingzhuzi is indeed very powerful. He said you would wake up today, and you will wake up today."
She held the small lacquer tray in one hand and supported Fuli with the other, leading her to the table. "Come, Senior Sister, sit down quickly and drink this broth. You've been unconscious for so many days, you need to nourish yourself well."
Fu Li suppressed her worries, straightened her clothes, and sat on her heels. When she heard that she was asked to drink the meat soup, she subconsciously asked, "What kind of meat?"
As someone who had always taken care of her, he naturally knew that she always kept her distance from "human flesh". Seeing that she kept asking, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's mutton. I specifically asked the Immortal Lingzhuzi, and he said that mutton and venison are both very nutritious.
It's just that hunting is prohibited now, so apart from the people in the palace who raise deer, forget about getting venison. Fortunately, the Grand Tutor's Mansion has always raised sheep, so if you want to eat mutton, it's cheap."
Fu Li looked down and saw that the wooden bowl was filled with thick white mutton soup, with a layer of chopped wild onions and wild garlic floating on top, completely covering up the mutton's mutton smell.
She picked up the spoon from the tea tray and shoved the soup, onions, and garlic into her mouth. The fresh, hot flavor exploded in her mouth, assaulting every taste bud. Having been unconscious for half a month without the taste of meat, her body was craving fat, prompting her to swallow it down impatiently.
After drinking half a bowl in one breath, Fu Li finally exhaled heavily and sighed, "Relax!"
Only then did she find the mind to ask, "Where's Junior Sister Fushuang? She used to be the most active one. After waking up, I can't hear her voice anymore. It's so quiet, I'm really not used to it."
Fu Yue smiled and said, "Her? She's watching the potters firing porcelain."
Fu Yue told us that while she was unconscious, the potters had already fired a batch of porcelain according to the steps and precautions she left behind.
However, the proportions of that batch were not adjusted properly, and the porcelain that was fired had a slight green tint, which was still a long way from the "white as snow, texture like jade" that Fu Li wanted.
"According to the time, the second kiln can start firing tomorrow. I hope it will be successful this time." Fu Yue concluded.
Fu Li nodded and said, "I'll continue to monitor it tomorrow. If white porcelain is indeed produced, I'll make a set of tableware according to this ratio and present it to the king."
Who would want to use a skull when you have fine porcelain?
Moreover, bone tools, like bronze tools, will secrete toxins after being used for a long time.
When she presented the tribute, she used the title of Lingzhuzi, a true immortal, and was not afraid that the King of Shang would not believe her.
As long as the King of Shang is persuaded and there is a stable production of porcelain, I think the King of Shang will be happy to use it to control the princes and queens.
Fu Yue didn't know what she was thinking, but they both agreed on one thing, which was to make white porcelain and present it to the king.
However, Fu Li wanted to abolish the implicit rule that "slaves will be killed when they turn 30", while Fu Yue wanted to use this to help her join the powerful class.
After Fu Li finished her soup, Fu Yue asked, "By the way, Junior Sister, where is the Immortal Lingzhuzi? He was the one who looked after you. How come he disappeared after you woke up?"
Fu Li wiped her mouth and said, "I asked him for something, and he went to help me."
Perhaps appropriate separation really helps to enhance feelings. This time when the two met again after a long separation, Fu Li felt that the relationship between them seemed to be closer.
Lingzhuzi is quite easy to talk to, at least in front of her, but he is a little bit arrogant and needs to be stroked in a friendly way.
However, he is handsome, powerful, and has a righteous character. With so many advantages, what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
By the way, who is spreading the rumor that "Nezha is a naughty kid"?
Who is it? Who is it?
Oh, so she believed it too. Give her a slap in the face and stop spouting nonsense!
Fu Li slapped herself on the face, startling Fu Yue, who was cleaning up the dishes. She quickly put down the lacquer tray and grabbed her hand, saying anxiously and angrily, "Junior sister, what are you doing?"
The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened in horror, and she gasped, "Could it be that the person who cursed you still hasn't given up and cast another curse on you?"
Fu Li: “…………”
She smiled awkwardly and explained quickly, "Senior Sister, I'm fine. My face just felt a little itchy, so I patted it. Can you help me check if it's a bug bite?"
As she spoke, she raised her cheek.
At this time, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts were as rampant as before. Although the Grand Tutor's Mansion was protected by a formation, there was no guarantee that no one would slip through the net.
Although Fu Yue was a little suspicious, her worry still prevailed. She stared at her cheek carefully, then reached out and touched it, making sure it was smooth and white as before. Then she said to her, "Don't worry, your face is fine."
"Are you really okay?" Fu Li insisted, "Then why did you suddenly feel itchy just now?"
Fu Yue didn't know that it was her own fault, and her mind was quickly distracted, and she never mentioned the curse on her again.
Only after she walked out with the chessboard did Fu Li breathe a sigh of relief: This hurdle is finally over.
Ling Zhuzi, who was watching her deceiving people, chuckled and appeared, teasing, "Your senior sister seems quite steady on weekdays, but why does she become so silly in front of you? You can fool her with anything you say?"
Fu Li smiled proudly: "That's because Senior Sister loves me!"
