Chapter 32: Lantern Festival

The Taoist walked down and led the donkey to stand by the river, looking at the grand scene of grabbing lanterns and the continuous cheers on the shore.

All kinds of prosperous and beautiful scenery are different from the human world and like the heaven.

Sure enough, it is worth the trip down the mountain. Although the mountain is clean and elegant, the bustling fireworks in the world are also a different experience.

The Taoist asked casually as if casually: "A local religious force in Jiangzhou, the Five Gods Sect, what does it want from an intelligence organization as big as Poison Altar?"

Feng Yusheng said cautiously: "I just heard some news from the Poison God Altar. Most of the information we collected was sent to the palace. The Poison God Altar even has a secret passage leading to the palace.

, but I don’t know where it is.”

Although Feng Yusheng joined the Poison God Altar not long ago, he is still a protector after all, and he still knows a lot.

"Sects from various places are entrenched in one area. Small sects and small sects can only control one area of ​​business. Large sects can even control a territory, just like a local emperor."

"The imperial court has long been dissatisfied with the Jianghu people, so it established the Wuyi Department to accommodate Jianghu masters from all walks of life, use Jianghu people to deal with Jianghu people, and gradually suppress the Jianghu forces."

"Although our Five Gods Sect has been rooted in Jiangzhou for many years relying on its relationship with Taizu and the edict of the Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun who personally issued it, these friendships have long been exhausted. Instead, because of its huge power, it has become a thorn in the side of the imperial court.

"

"That's why we cooperated with this prince in Jiangzhou. The prince needs the power of the Five Gods Religion, and the Five Gods Religion needs the prince to withstand the pressure of the court."

"Prince's Mansion?" The Taoist has not been down the mountain for a long time, and he is actually not familiar with this great Zhou Dynasty.

Feng Yusheng didn't think much about it. Judging from the previous news, this might be an old monster who went to the mountain to live in seclusion during the previous dynasty and only recently came down.

In the blink of an eye, dynasties change, things change and people change, and it is common sense to go down the mountain and not know what is going on today.

Feng Yusheng explained in detail: "It's Prince Jian's Mansion. Prince Jian is the fourth son of our Great Zhou Sage. However, the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the Emperor and the country has been established. Naturally, the other princes have been entrusted to various places. Prince Jian is quite favored.

He was sealed in Jiangzhou."

The Taoist nodded. It seemed that the power of the Five Gods Religion was indeed huge. It had the emperor's decree to confer great righteousness and build the palace, a group of martial arts masters, and countless believers who had taken root in Jiangzhou for nearly a hundred years.

However, the Taoist came here to subdue the remaining four monsters of the Five Gods Sect. The Five Gods Sect was also established based on these monsters.

Once the evildoers are eliminated, the Five Gods Religion that sacrifices people will naturally disperse. Even if there are any remnants, it is just a matter for the temples and rivers, which can be solved by ordinary people, and it will not be a problem.

As for the affairs of other princes, generals, and rivers and lakes, they had nothing to do with him, and Gao Xian didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"You go back to the Poison Altar now, pretend that everything is normal, and tell them that Pindao is on his way to Jiangzhou. You heard the news and rushed to report back."

"Then check where the Poison God of the Poison God Altar is."

"It would be better if we could investigate the whereabouts of the other three gods of the Five Gods Religion."

"If this is done well and everything is over, I will remove the Heavenly Punishment Seal from you."

Feng Yusheng nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Great Immortal, Feng will definitely handle it properly."

He turned around and left. As soon as he turned the corner, Feng Yusheng pressed his whole body against the wall, as if he was exhausted.

Facing the huge pressure from this man and a donkey, he almost collapsed.

Sitting paralyzed on the ground, he no longer had any grace.

"Being targeted by such a god, my god's sect looks like my grandma died and my uncle is (unsavable), so we should find a way to save ourselves!"

I saw the situation clearly and made a choice.

Feng Yusheng patted his coat, which had a few big holes in it and was somewhat breathable, and walked out with a swagger that was half embarrassed and half cool.

"When we were young, we all thought we were the wind. Later we realized we were all grass."

After showing bitterness on his face, he quickly changed to a smiling face like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"Where did there come from so many heroic and invincible heroes? A grass swaying in the wind like me is the real charlatan!"

He jumped up to the eaves and disappeared into the darkness.

——————

Leading the donkey along the bustling river bank, you will see vendors shouting, sweets, snacks, puppets, lanterns, etc. along the way.

There were various acrobatics, lion and dragon dances along the way, and two or three hours passed by inadvertently.

The Taoist didn't have anything he wanted to buy. When he walked out of a place where there were stages and operas all around, he suddenly encountered a group of people dispersing.

"Did you see it? It is indeed the Red Mandarin Heroine!" A young man who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old was crowded with his classmates from the private school, and he was inexplicably excited.

"I just told you that the Red Mandarin Heroine will definitely come to Jiangzhou for this Lantern Festival Lantern Festival." The chubby boy puffed out his chest.

"That's right, we not only brought the latest new works, but also a puppet show!"

"Have you seen the puppet show "Fairy Tears" by Red Mandarin Heroine today?" A girl with a maid and a servant looked like her eyes were red, as if she was moved to tears by the puppet show. When she met an acquaintance, she

Can't help but talk about it.

"The Red Mandarin Heroine is also here at this lantern festival? I didn't even know."

"It's right in front, but it will disperse soon. You didn't see it. It was so touching. Many people cried and their clothes got wet."

As the crowd dispersed, it seemed that many people still had unfinished business and kept talking about the details of the puppet show just now, as well as the famous Red Mandarin Heroine.

When Gao Xian was standing under the stage holding the donkey, the puppet show on the stage had ended. The Red Mandarin Heroine, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, was on stage packing her things with a group of female companions.

Tang Yao's face was glowing. This puppet show was a success. The whole audience was full of people crying.

"The story I wrote is so good, and the puppet show is full of tension. As expected, I, the Red Mandarin Heroine, will be a masterpiece every time I take action."

Holding the exquisite doll, intoxicated with the joy of success, he turned around and was suddenly startled.

Among the dispersed crowd below, Tang Yao seemed to see the figure of a Taoist holding a donkey.

Tang Yao was trembling all over. When she looked over again, she found that the person was gone.

"not good!"

Tang Yao felt that she was too high-profile, and then she remembered that the Taoist whom she met earlier seemed to be heading to Jiang Ting.

He hurriedly packed up, said goodbye to his female partner in the puppet show, put on his hat, carried the wooden box on his back, and walked around seven or eight streets like a thief before returning to one of his three burrows.

Even though Tang Yao was wearing ordinary clothes, she was extremely rich.

Look at this mansion. Although it is not big, it is exquisite and elegant. It is located in Chendefang, where land is of high value. The price is comparable to the most luxurious areas in Beijing.

"call!"

After carefully pushing the door open and bolting the door, the Red Mandarin Heroine took a long breath.

But when he turned around, he saw under the shadow of the high-hanging moon on the 15th, a man with his back to him, standing under his big tree.

"Snapped!"

The Red Mandarin Heroine knelt down very spinelessly.

He bowed to the ground, raised his buttocks high, and stretched out his hands in a cross.

"Great Immortal, please forgive me. Hongyuan will never dare to do it again next time. He will definitely change his ways and be a new person in the future."

The Taoist turned around and said: "The poor road passes here..."

Before he finished speaking, Hongyuan, whose face was pressed against the stone slab, immediately said: "This house will belong to the Immortal from now on, and you can live there as long as you want."

The Taoist smiled and nodded: "How can a poor Taoist be greedy for your house? When he travels around the world, he will return to the mountains and live in seclusion. It's just a Taoist temple..."

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Before she finished speaking, the Red Mandarin Heroine, who was kneeling on the ground, crawled forward and touched a banknote with her hands: "This is three hundred taels of incense money. This little girl has sinned so much that she is disgusted by gods and ghosts, so she still invites the great immortal.

Help me burn it to Taoist Master and help the little girl accumulate merit."

Maybe it was because the red mandarin duck was so discerning that Immortal Kongchen was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he looked at the banknote in his hand and said leisurely.

"But I heard that someone made a lot of money by selling some filthy, rumor-mongering books!"

Tang Yao trembled all over, feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise my life would have been in danger this time.

Tang Yao immediately stepped forward and handed over a list: "Tang Yao will never dare to do it again. I know that the great immortal despises these things. What he values ​​​​is cultivating good deeds and persuading little girls to do good. So after arriving in Jiangzhou

It’s already been arranged.”

"The money earned from those filthy books that spread rumors and create trouble will be used to help and feed displaced people everywhere, and accumulate merit for the great immortal."

"This is a list for buying grain and various places. Please read it, the immortal. The little girl dare not keep a penny."

The Taoist was a little stuck for a moment, and in the end he could only smile with relief: "Yes! Very good, very good!"

"Pindao thinks so too!"

Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the heroine, I am smart and guessed early that the great immortal Yao had gone down the mountain to accumulate merit and use the money to do good deeds.
