One hundred and sixty-eighth chapter Shijie subject to astronomy II

Everyone picked up firewood and fire. The three-story high platform was built in just one day. Under the guidance of Changshou and Gongsun Sheng, the Three Pure Ones were set up in Zhongyi Hall, and the twenty-eight constellations and the twelve palaces were arranged on both sides.

Manager Zhu happily received a large sum of money and went down the mountain.

In two days, he bought a product for the fasting and sacrifice. He also invited forty-eight Taoists to sing scriptures and accompany Changshou to sing and sing.

At night, Changshou dragged his tired body back to his residence.

Xiaodie pointed to a robe on the table and said, "This is just sent by a minion. He said it was specially prepared by Brother Song for you."

Changshou picked up the Taoist robe and looked at it. The silk material was smooth and soft. You could tell at a glance that it was carefully sewn by a skilled craftsman.

"What is this? Is this sewn with gold thread?" Changshou asked in surprise, stroking the golden ring outside the Yin-Yang fish behind the Taoist robe.

"Did you see it too?" Xiaodie said with a smile.

"I just asked the minions who gave the Taoist robe. He said that this Taoist robe is amazing. It turned out to be worn by the master of Yunshan Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Daming Mansion. After they broke through Daming Mansion, they forced them to peel off the mansion!" Xiaodie explained.

When Changshou heard this, his hand trembled and threw the Taoist robe on the ground.

"Sin, sin!" Changshou said repeatedly.

"What's the matter! Whoever gets it will belong to whoever." Xiaodie said disapprovingly.

"I will open my eyes to see if anyone with a profound Taoist snatches you to be a wife tomorrow." Changshou said angrily.

"I used to think this is nothing. Many women around my grandfather, my father and uncles were stolen. If the black bone man is defeated by others, I will recognize me if I am stolen." Xiaodie replied.

"But after being with you Han people for a long time, I'll change again. At that time, we can die together! I'll kill you first and then commit suicide!" Xiaodie said decisively.

Changshou looked at Xiaodie's resolute gaze and felt his whole body tremble.

Changshou did not wear the Taoist robe with gold thread inlaid in the end.

At night, Wu Yong found Song Zhong and asked, "Did Brother Song decide?"

Song Zhong shook his head: "It's hard. A few days ago, Brother Liu and Tie Niu had a dispute with each other and had a bloody fight. But I was not worried about them like this at all. But do you know what Lu Junyi thinks? What do the green-faced beast think? What do those officials who have cast it over think?"

Wu Yong was silent.

"I have no choice but to use this move. I hope to bring everyone's hearts together! Who are we afraid of if we can do this?" Song Zhong continued.

"I'm not familiar with the little master. Are Brother Song confident?" Wu Yong asked.

"No problem. This is also the reason why I insist on using him instead of the Gongsun brothers." Song Zhong replied.

Three days later, the ceremony of fasting and worship began. Changshou climbed to the top of the platform with a solemn expression. With the accompaniment of Taoist ritual chimes, forty-eight Taoists sang scriptures in unison on the second floor.

Song Zhong led one hundred and seven brothers to kneel neatly in front of the high platform to burn incense and pray.

"I, Song Zhong, have gathered together in the mountains and the north. I remember the righteousness of heaven and earth, and practiced the way for heaven. I go through fire and water for all the people in the world! I am grateful to God's blessing, so that the waters of Liangshan will flourish today. Today I made a vow in front of God: One hundred and eight brothers are willing to live and die together and go to the righteousness together! May the heaven see the bright eyes!" Song Zhong said loudly.

"Life and die together, and go to justice together!" hundreds of brothers said in unison.

The sound drifted towards the sky with the lingering smoke.

For seven days, three times a day. Song Zhong brought all the brothers from the Liangshan Mountain to kneel in front of the stage to burn incense and pray. And everyone must fast, ban alcohol, ban meat, ban women's sex.

The honest and peaceful brothers in Liangshan are fine, but some brothers who are used to drinking and eating meat all day are in great pain. Especially those like Li Tieniu, who kneel down three times a day and flip their eyes and look at Changshou, who is sitting high, want to rush up and beat Changshou up!

On the night of the seventh day, this was the last prayer to heaven on the last day.

Li Tieniu gritted his teeth and endured it. He had already asked the minions under him to prepare the wine and meat and waited for the last time to go back and have a big meal.

Sure enough, it would be no good if I met the little Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost. But forgot about the previous few times, Li Tieniu felt that no one was miserable this time!

He secretly looked up and saw that the sky in the south was foggy like a ball of light, like the moon shrouded in the thick fog.

The light became brighter and brighter. Others saw it, and looked up one after another.

"Is it the moon?" someone whispered.

"It's the end of the month now, where will there be a full moon?" another person replied.

A black line appeared in the center of the round light, and the black line became wider and wider, like a pupil!

Is there an eye in the sky? All the people kneeling on the ground were talking in surprise.

Xiaodie stood in the distance alone and looked at the wonder of the sky and whispered: "Pretending to be a god! This little thief is pretending to be a god again!"

A little light flashed out from the inside, and a light thread was pulled out and fell to the ground with the rumbling sound.

"Broom Star! It's a broom Star!"

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but shout.

"Grandpa doesn't believe in evil, there must be someone pretending to be a ghost!" Li Tieniu said in a low voice.

Suddenly he felt that Brother Song looked back at him, and he shrank his neck.

The light became closer and closer and turned into a fireball and rushed towards the ground. In the frightened eyes of everyone, it flashed and disappeared on a mountain opposite the mountain where Zhongyitang was located.

There was no loud noise from falling to the ground, and it fell silently like a feather.

While everyone was still surprised, Song Zhongran stood up and said loudly: "God has issued an edict! Everyone will go to the opposite mountain with me to take a look."

Everyone followed Song Zhong and headed towards the opposite mountain.

Of course, the forty-eight Taoist priests sitting on the platform also saw this amazing scene. One Taoist priest looked up and asked Changshou who was sitting on it: "What do you think of this scene of the celestial phenomena? Is it good or bad?"

"It's auspicious to press the earth! It's natural that people are in a panic. So be careful! Haven't you given all the money you should give you? You can leave now." Changshou replied tiredly.

"Thank you for your teachings!" The Taoist priest was the first to get off the platform and walk towards the waterside.

Other Taoist priests also got off the ritual platform and followed behind. I wonder if the minions who were lying on the boat at night would send them away.

When Song Zhong and his brothers rushed to the edge of the mountain where the fireball landed, a minion pointed to the ground in the distance and said, "Big leader, I saw the fireball landing there with my own eyes!"

"Dig, dig it out for me!" Song Zhong shouted loudly.

Xiaodie rushed to the underworld and looked at Changshou, who was still sitting on it, and asked, "Are you leaving yet?"
