The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

The four sat in the courtyard drinking water and chatting idly. Li Chengqian and Li Shimin were the ones asking questions, and Lu Jinghe was the one answering.

They were genuinely curious about what methods Lu Jinghe had up his sleeve; the look in his eyes...tsk tsk...

It's like seeing a beautiful woman who dedicates herself to art; you can't help but pounce on her and grope her clean.

Just then, a young eunuch ran into the courtyard and said, "Your Majesty, General Li, along with the Grand Astrologer and Eunuch Wu She, requests an audience."

"Send it quickly!" Li Shimin stood up abruptly. Lu Jinghe had just explained the basic principles of the glass talisman lamp to him.

He didn't quite understand what spiritual energy was used as ink, yellow paper as a base, and the inscriptions of listening arrays and luminous symbols were written on it... Blah blah blah.

In short, it's an amazing thing, and we'll be able to see it soon!

Li Chengqian was also somewhat expectant, and they stood up together, looking towards the courtyard gate.

Lu Jingping took a sip of water calmly, then turned to look at Gao Yang and blinked.

Gao Yang didn't know what Lu Jinghe meant, so he tilted his head and blinked.

"Your subject, Li Junxian, pays respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Just then, a burly man clad in armor bowed respectfully at the courtyard gate.

Then, Li Chunfeng and Wushe also jogged over.

"Your subject Li Chunfeng pays respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After saying that, Li Junxian picked up the box that Li Chunfeng had given him and walked over.

Li Chunfeng and Wu She followed behind.

No wonder he could become a military general; his skills are indeed quite good. He dragged Li Chunfeng and Wushe here, and they arrived in no time.

This put the other two in a difficult position. Li Chunfeng was alright, but Wu She was in a terrible state. He had been running around all day, and his calves were still spinning.

"Your Majesty, these are the things you instructed me to fetch."

Li Shimin took the box from Li Junxian and said, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll call you when I need you."

"Here you are."

Li Junxian bowed respectfully, took a few steps back, then turned and strode away from the courtyard.

"Grand Historian?" Li Shimin did not open the box immediately, but placed it on the stone table, then glanced at Li Chunfeng.

"Your subject is here."

Li Chunfeng had a bad feeling. Li Shimin knew that he had secretly kept the glass talisman lamp. He hoped that Li Chunfeng was not angry.

Li Chunfeng bowed his head and clasped his hands, then secretly glanced at Lu Jinghe behind him, who was laughing very happily.

He realized that Lu Jinghe was taking revenge on him!

In retaliation for his mismatched marriage, she married Gao Yang, who would later have a terrible reputation, to him.

Even though he has taken a liking to Gao Yang now and is very satisfied with him, and even though those awful things won't happen in the future, he still wants revenge!

Damn it, how could he forget that this person is so petty!

The first time I saw him, I wanted to mess with him because he was telling fortunes and playing chess. But not only could I not out-calculate, I also got tricked and lost a whole house.

Originally, they were just trying to get their money back, but who knew that this person not only took a fancy to Gao Yang, but also liked him very much.

In his original calculations, Lu Jinghe had only married Gao Yang, but hadn't shown any particular fondness for her!

Now the retaliation is coming, how terrible...

If Lu Jinghe could read minds, he would most likely burst out laughing.

Count him? Do you think his Feng Hou Qi Men is just for show?

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng only made a rough calculation and stopped calculating after feeling the obstruction; otherwise, he might have been directly killed by the backlash.

The changes in the future, Lu Jinghe's experience of time travel, all sorts of novel knowledge, and cultivation methods—this is a matter of immense cause and effect.

If Li Chunfeng could truly have foreseen this, he wouldn't be the Grand Historian; it would be more appropriate to call him the embodiment of Heaven's will. He wouldn't be in this situation now.

"I heard from Jinghe that he gave you two lamps before you left, and told you to leave one for me. Is that true?"

"There should be, right?" Li Chunfeng began to act. Keeping things meant for the emperor without permission was a serious crime, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

Although Li Shimin would not execute his entire family or kill him because of his status, some punishment was inevitable.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of minimizing major issues and resolving minor issues, Li Chunfeng began to put on an act, pretending to be a fool.

Lu Jinghe subtly mocked Gao Yang, whispering, "Look at Li Chunfeng, he's starting to put on an acting show, it's really interesting."

"It's really quite fun." Gao Yang couldn't help but smile. She didn't want to laugh, after all, it was Li Chunfeng who acted as matchmaker so she could marry Lu Jinghe, but Li Chunfeng's expression was just too interesting.

This is so embarrassing!

"I recently caught a cold, and my memory isn't very good. I might have forgotten..."

"Forgot? You probably wanted to keep it for yourself." Li Shimin snorted coldly, looking at Li Chunfeng with ill intent.

"Um... I really don't remember when Brother Lu said that. I wonder if Brother Lu could clear up my confusion?"

Lu Jinghe was speechless. How did this get involved with him? He could only say, "Before you left, after you took those two lamps from my yard."

Did you say that? Li Chunfeng was taken aback. Didn't he grab the lamp and run away? Did Lu Jinghe say that?

"At that time, Your Majesty, I left in a hurry and did not hear what Young Master Lu said."

"At the time, I was only thinking about studying this glass talisman lamp; I was eager to learn..."

"Hmph, three months' salary deduction." Li Shimin rolled his eyes, and Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, managing to get away with it.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart jumped into his throat again.

There's a second level!

He put...

"Click..."

After Li Shimin opened the box, he and Li Chengqian peered inside.

There was only one intact glass talisman lamp inside; the other one was broken!

Even the talismans inside were broken in two!

"Li Chunfeng!"

Li Shimin angrily said, "Tell me, what exactly happened!"

Li Chunfeng scratched his head and said, "I accidentally broke one. I was studying it, thinking about whether I could take out the talisman, but I accidentally dropped it on the ground."

"Why is that talisman in two?"

"I accidentally used too much force while doing the research..."

Li Chunfeng felt his reasoning was far-fetched, but he had no other choice but to say it that way.

"Sigh..." Li Shimin sighed deeply, saying helplessly, "What a spendthrift son who ruins things."

Li Chunfeng dared not reply and could only lower his head.

I should have taken a few more glass talisman lamps back then. Anyway, they're not big, he could have taken a few more.

I regret it now.

"Fine, this good one is mine, and you can take the bad one away. Don't put it in front of me, or it'll ruin my mood."

Li Shimin took out the complete glass talisman lamp, then closed the box and tossed it to Li Chunfeng.

"Jinghe, how do you use this lamp?" Li Shimin tapped the glass lampshade and asked curiously.

"This is simple," Lu Jinghe said, and then began to demonstrate.

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. With a snap, the glass talisman lamp lit up.

A warm white light radiated outwards.

"If you want to turn it off, just snap your fingers again."

Li Shimin was amused; this little thing was interesting.

He snapped his fingers, and the lights went out instantly.

"Jinghe, is this thing difficult to build?"

Li Shimin wanted more.
