Legend of the Cultivation God - Chapter 3248

[Chapter 3248 Zhongyuan Festival]

“Let’s go, I’ll wait to enter the city…” Xiao Hua waved at the already falling sunset.

This big city is the capital of the Bronze Pillar Kingdom, so naturally the interrogation is also strict. The place where the four of them got to the city gate was not unexpectedly blocked by the soldiers guarding the city gate. This Tongzhu Kingdom was founded by Confucianism, and did not respect Taoism. Xiao Jian was sweating profusely when asked, but fortunately, his official documents were normal, and everything in Xi Kingdom was normal, and it was a waste of money. Some silver coins still entered the city gate smoothly.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the liveliness in front of you is different from outside the city gate.

Outside the city gate, it is just a village, with the simplicity seen by ordinary Xiao Hua and others. Entering the city gate, it seems that there are also some villages and some rivers, but the clothes and temperament of people are different from those outside the city, especially the smoke inside these villages is not the same as that outside the city, except for There was some cooking smoke in several places, and there were no fireworks in many places.

On the side of these rivers, there are many children under the leadership of adults, holding some small fist-sized lamps in high spirits and throwing them into the water at random, wanting to watch these small lamps flow down the river. It’s a pity that most of these shoddy things sink to the bottom as soon as they get wet, causing children to scream.

“These are the estates of the big families of the Tongzhu Kingdom in the suburbs!” Seeing Xiao Hua turning his attention to the surrounding mountain villages, Xiao Jian said lightly, “They hold a lot of wealth, and they want a leisurely life in the countryside, but If you can’t really move out of the city, or even in other townships, you will build a village on the edge of the capital and live the life you want.”

Another half an hour on horseback, the road under my feet was replaced with bluestone slabs at some point, the trees on both sides were neatly arranged, and the lanterns were also hung on the trees in the night. like twinkling stars.

Looking at the surrounding buildings, they are also taller. These majestic buildings are famous shops in the capital. Now they are all lit up with colorful lights and the doors are wide open. Many people are walking on the road. consciously went in.

There were too many people, so Xiao Hua and others naturally couldn’t ride a horse, Liu Yi took Xiao Hua’s reins very cleverly, and led the horse to walk behind Yuan Ya.

Seeing that there is an inn next to it, there are many people staying there, but Xiao Jian just glanced at it and walked by, without any stop at all. Xiao Hua thought that there were too many people here. However, after a few more homes, Xiao Jian didn’t even look at it, Xiao Hua didn’t feel surprised and asked: “Xiao Jian, if it’s getting late today, Xiao doesn’t need to rest, you need to stay. Aren’t you looking for an inn?”

“Haha, I’m afraid I don’t know if the immortals will not walk in the world for a long time. If it is an ordinary day, I can wait for the shop. But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival for the secular people, and a sacrifice for my Taoist family. Since I am a Taoist disciple, I should place orders inside the Taoist temple, and cannot spend the night outside the Taoist temple!” Xiao Jian said with a wry smile.

“Okay…” Xiao Hua couldn’t think that the fallen Taoist Sect still had so many rules, so he nodded. But then, seeing more people, Xiao Jian began to inquire, but seeing the Taoist robe on Xiao Jian’s body, these people seemed to have seen flies, and hurriedly avoided, not giving Xiao Jian a chance to speak.

“Daoist Xiao, it’s better to be young!” Liu Yi couldn’t bear to see it for a while, and said in a low voice.

“Yeah!” Hearing Xiao Jian’s answer, Liu Yi handed over the reins of the horse to Yuan Ya, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash, but it was only half a cup of tea, Liu Yi had already returned, pointed his hand forward and said, ” Taoist priest, there is Xiluo Ridge two miles ahead, and there is a Seven Sun Temple on it!”

Then he walked to Xiao Hua again and respectfully said: “Daoist Xiao, Xiao Xiao just inquired about it. There happened to be a bidding party tonight, in Mingyuefang, which is not too far from Qiyang Temple. But now the time It’s still early, are you going to Qiyang Temple or Mingyuefang?”

Xiao Hua was overjoyed and said with a smile: “Since Xiao is also a Taoist disciple, then go to Qiyang Temple first, and then go to Mingyuefang after placing the order!”

“Okay, Xiao Hua leads the way!” Liu Yi neatly took over the reins in Yuan Ya’s hand and walked to the front. He just turned a few streets, Xiao Hua’s eyes lit up, and suddenly appeared between these tall buildings. A big garden! Suddenly, there were many people around Xiao Hua. Not only did some men and women pour in behind Xiao Hua, but there were obviously other streets that could be connected in other directions of the garden, and there were also many people coming from those places.

“Okay…” A loud noise came from the crowd in front, and then, a one-foot-sized lotus lamp rose from the crowd. The lotus lamp looked very delicate, whether it was the lotus leaf at the bottom or around the lampshade. The painted petals are vivid, and these petals tremble slightly under the light, just like they are blooming in buds!

It’s just that the lotus lantern just flew over ten feet high, and another voice called out: “Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this lotus lantern should go with the water! It’s beautiful to fly in the air. , but it is not in line with etiquette! Also, it is strictly forbidden to lift foreign objects into the sky in the capital city of Tongzhu Kingdom. If this lotus lotus flies high, I am afraid that it will be set up by the bow and arrow of the emperor of the Imperial Army. Everyone has pity on this lovely lotus lotus, right? Let me Come home now!”

“Okay!” Everyone shouted in unison, with a smile and an expectation in their voices.

“Om…” But after hearing the sound of a sword cry, a ray of scarlet sword light rushed into the air, hitting the lotus lantern. The ingenious thing was that this sword light hooked slightly and actually brought the lotus lantern back. Back, as the lotus lantern fell in front of everyone, in the stream, the sound of applause sounded again.

“Hehe, neighbors, many students of my Tongzhu Academy are studying here, and I usually disturb you all. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is the day when the ghosts travel, and it is also the time for me to commemorate the ancestors. My academy students I have nothing to give to you. The finishing touch of this lotus lantern is left to our students! Although my cultivation is not very profound, the finishing touch of this lotus lantern can bring your thoughts to Jiuquan. My dear, the lotus lantern that is the finishing touch can easily ward off all evils!”

“Okay~” a delicate girl patted her hand, “The slave family heard that Mr. Jiang’s handwriting with red letters is the most righteousness of heaven and earth, and it is the most effective for warding off evil spirits. I specially found this place from a hundred miles away, and I also ask Mr. Jiang to give me the words! ”

Xiao Hua and the others had already approached upon hearing the sound, but they saw that it was a half-acre garden with palaces, small bridges, and corridors and streams. There were a lot of green vines hanging on the palaces and corridors. , Although it is already the scorching heat of July, the hot wind at night is also much cooler. In particular, the clusters of small purple flowers on the vines, only the size of soybeans, wafting in the wind with a faint fragrance, were really intoxicating.

At this time, there were dozens of men and women around a pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by running water, the sound of the water was gurgling. Inside the pavilion and beside the steps of the pavilion stood several white-clothed scholars. A middle-aged scholar, the scholar stood in front of the steps, with two beards on the corners of his mouth, slightly upturned, as if he was smiling at any time. Although the two eyebrows that match the beard are not particularly slender, they are very dark, and the eyes look normal, but the eyes in the eyes are deep, and people’s eyes are suddenly attracted by these eyes. capture. The scholar was holding a brush in his hand. The brush was as thick as a baby’s arm, more than a foot long. The tip of the brush was stained with thick red ink, which looked a bit dazzling. However, this is not the main thing. The main thing is that the scholar stood there, a silent aura enveloped the entire pavilion, and the scholar was tall and straight, standing there straight, although he was holding A pen looks sharper than a flying sword!

“Thank you for your love!” The scholar smiled before saying a word, his dark eyes flashed, causing a woman on the opposite corridor to blush, “Please also bring the girl’s lotus lantern, Jiang will give you the finishing touch! ”

“Hehe…” Before the girl could speak, the friends of the girls next to her had already pushed the girl to the front. The scholar waved his hand, and the lotus lantern in the girl’s hand immediately seemed to be taken by an invisible hand, and slowly landed on it. in the hands of the scholar.

“Okay…” At the time, there were a lot of good people shouting loudly.

“Get up…” The scholar pointed his hand to the lotus lantern, and the lamp flew up from his hand immediately. With the light of the lotus lantern illuminating the surroundings again, the scholar raised the ink pen in his hand, and walked with strange steps under his feet, chanting in his mouth. He read: “Heaven and earth have righteousness, and there are various manifolds. The bottom is Heyue, and the top is Sunstar. People say Haoran, Peihu Sai Cangming. Huanglu should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tuming Court!! !”

With this impassioned chanting sound, the scholar’s whole body glowed with crimson brilliance, and the brilliance trembled and shone with the scholar’s pace, and finally slowly landed on the scholar’s ink pen, but listening to the scholar’s last ” Tu Ming Ting!” With a loud shout, the crimson brilliance between the ink brushes flourished, that is, at the moment when the ink brush brilliance flashed, the scholar dropped the money on the lotus lantern, Guang Hua covered the lamp, and waited for brilliance. Cover it up, reveal the lights again, and a scarlet “text” appears on the lotus lamp!

The word “Wen” is such a golden hook and silver painting, each stroke is like a sharp sword, and an unconcealed sword intent emerges from this word! ! !

“Okay…” The girl couldn’t help but applaud.

“Girl, keep this lotus lantern. If you miss your relatives, can you put this lantern into the stream yourself?” Jiang surnamed scholar took the ink pen and said with a smile, “When you have a child, the door to heaven and earth will open, what you miss People will see it, and they will dream of you!”

Ps: The night of the Mid-Yuan Festival in Tongzhu Kingdom is very long, which is also a change of Xiao Hua, and an opportunity to step into the ranks of monks…
