Mysterious Tang Dynasty

What Lin Jiulang brought was indeed a meteorite.

Before the heavy rain fell, he led Li Lijun and his party into his manor, settled everyone down, and invited Li Lijun to the living room to sit down and have tea, and took off the cloth bag tied around his waist. Show her what's inside.

Those were two stones of about the same size, one was as big as a grown man's palm, and the other was only as big as a grown man's fist.

Lin Jiulang told Li Lijun: "I wrote a letter to Ah Weng to mention this matter. When Ah Weng asked someone to send a family letter to my grandmother, I brought it along. I only got it two days ago. It is said that it landed in the past. The meteorites in the Lingnan area were collected by a local big family. I, A Weng, told someone, and the big family sent the things over.”

Li Lijun looked at the "meteorite", and felt that it seemed to be different from the meteorites he had seen before.She recalled the few times when she practiced while seeing shooting stars at night but could not feel any fluctuations in spiritual power, she was a little suspicious that this "meteorite" might also be a fake "shooting star".

She didn't show any strange expression on her face, she calmly put down the larger meteorite, and picked up another smaller one.

Thankfully, this meteorite looks very reliable, the shell is a very typical iron meteorite, and the characteristics are all right.

Lin Jiulang said: "When I was in Luoyang, I heard that some people also like to collect this kind of meteorite. I specially found someone to grind for several days before I persuaded him to sell this meteorite to me. According to the man, it is three years old. He came across the meteor that landed on the border of Guanzhong years ago by chance. He still has quite a few stones like this, but I only got one for the time being, and I have to grind the rest with him."

Li Lijun carefully put the iron meteorite on the table, and said to Lin Jiulang with a smile: "It is indeed a rare meteorite. How much did you spend to get it? Who is the person who collects these things?"

Lin Jiulang mentioned a name, but Li Lijun had never heard of it before, so he could only guess that he was a son of an unknown family, the kind who had money and leisure and nothing to do, so he had the energy and financial resources to devote himself to things he was interested in. Work hard.However, Lin Jiulang didn't spend a lot of money to buy this iron meteorite, and the other party didn't want money, but because Lin Jiulang helped him establish a relationship and bought a good horse, he was willing to part with it.

Li Lijun asked about the man's family name and address in Luoyang, and also learned that he also had a home in Chang'an, not far from Daozhengfang where the Sui Palace was located, so he knew it well.

She didn't intend to do anything bad, she just inquired about the news in advance, and if she had the opportunity, she could send someone to buy meteorites.It is rare that there is a meteorite collector with a rich collection. If there is a meteorite that she can use, of course she cannot easily miss it.

Lin Jiulang put the two meteorites back into the cloth bag, and pushed them in front of Li Lijun: "Now they are yours. I will send them to you after I get some more."

Li Lijun hurriedly said: "You spent money and effort, don't you plan to keep a piece for yourself?"

Lin Jiulang said with a smile: "Although I have thought about getting a piece or two of meteorite from the sky, so that I can make a long spear for myself, but these two pieces of meteorite are too small, I'm afraid I can't even shoot a dagger. What are you doing with them? But you like these, and the small ones are easy to collect, so you can take them. What kind of friendship do we two have? Why do you have a relationship with me?"

Li Lijun really wanted that piece of iron meteorite, and the other fake one was a good idea.Since Lin Jiulang is so warm-hearted, she will not be polite to him.After handing the cloth bag to Erhong to put it away, she pretended to reach into her sleeve to take something out, but actually took out a small purse from the storage space, and handed it to Lin Jiulang: "This is what I learned from a Taoist master." The peace talisman you got from anywhere is very effective. You carry this close to your body and try not to leave it as much as possible. If you encounter danger, it can protect you somewhat."

This safety talisman was not written by her personally, but was produced by the system mall, and it should also come from the hands of a spell master. Although the level is not high, it is already powerful enough in the small world of Xuantang.Even in the event of a catastrophe, it can save Lin Jiulang's life for a period of time and buy him more time to save himself.Li Lijun considered that he was likely to continue to send meteorites to him in the future, so he planned to give him a considerable reward first, so as to repay his hard work and enthusiasm.

Lin Jiulang tilted his head to look at the small purse embroidered with exquisite runes, and put it into his arms with a smile: "Could it be that the fourth lady made this herself? The embroidery on it is so unique."

Of course it is unique, and it is produced by the system mall, all of which are high-quality goods.Not only is the safety talisman inside this purse very effective, but even the purse with the talisman on the outside is embroidered with talisman patterns with spiritual silk thread, which can ensure that the safety talisman will not be intruded by water and fire—of course, if it has been soaked in water for a long time or used Burning with spiritual fire is not acceptable, it can only be said that compared with ordinary things, it has the property of not being afraid of water and fire.

Li Lijun said to Lin Jiulang: "I didn't make the purse myself, but I managed to get the talisman. You must take care of it carefully, and don't lose it easily. This thing would not be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold! If it weren't for you I am a lifelong friendship, so I will not send you off!"

Lin Jiulang smiled: "That's a good point. You and I are close friends, so I will take care of the things you gave me." He took out the purse and stuffed it more closely and more securely .

After finishing business, the two began to chat.Lin Jiulang said that he went back to Luoyang to spend the New Year with his grandmother and mother. After the spring, he couldn't stand his mother's nagging, so he went back to Chang'an first. Now he is the only one in the family except for an uncle who stayed in Beijing and his family members. .Grandmother took her sister-in-law with her and planned to return to Chang'an next month. She would visit Princess Dou at that time, and it was estimated that she would bring up the marriage between her sister-in-law and the third son of the Sui Dynasty, Li Lang.When Lin Jiulang heard that Li Lijun returned to Beijing, he originally planned to accompany his grandmother to the Sui Palace, but he didn't expect that Li Lijun would come and leave that month, so he had to ride a horse and chase him out of the city to see him off and give gifts.

He said with some embarrassment: "I used to visit your house as a guest in the name of visiting my aunt and grandmother. When I met your father, he saw that my nose was not a nose, and my eyes were not eyes... I was thinking about it, it was around last year. What happened in your garden involved sister Ling, and my father didn't like to see me. I heard that he has been at home recently, so I didn't dare to visit alone. I originally wanted to go with grandma, but I didn't expect You left so quickly."

Isn't Li Dai, the successor king of the Sui Dynasty, sick?How could Li Lijun, as a daughter, leave home at this time?
Of course, Li Lijun refused to be accused of unfilial piety for no reason, so he said: "I, Aye, am not actually sick. He did something wrong a few days ago and offended Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Han together, so I can only run away." Going to curry favor with Yang Taifu, wanting to restore the friendship between the two parties. My Ah Weng thinks he is too embarrassing, so I ordered him to pretend to be sick at home. He is reluctant, and is in a bad mood all day long. We brothers and sisters dare not come over , for fear of offending him. I have nothing to do in Beijing anyway, so if I don’t run away at this time, why don’t I stay and get scolded?”

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Jiulang smiled and said: "Then you should go quickly and avoid it far away. You can't send it to the door by yourself!" After laughing, he lowered his voice and said to Li Lijun: "The king of Sui stopped the king from going out to communicate with Yang Taifu. In fact, it is also a good thing. I have heard rumors recently that Ji Wen, the household doctor, and Yang Taifu are getting closer, which annoys Prime Minister Li, and has already got angry with many people. The heir is the clan. Yang Taifu is too close, so it is inevitable to deal with Ji Wen. It is not beautiful if Li Xiangji hates him because of this. What does the dispute between Li and Yang have to do with the Sui Palace? It is better to avoid it far away and let them go!"
