【Chapter 502】 Bluffing
The hotel was fully equipped with things, and seven or eight people worked together, and soon two offering tables were set up. After the old mother and the second aunt carefully put the tribute stacks neatly, the family stood by the window, looking at the mighty river beach, quietly looking forward to the start of the show.
The Dragon King Festival was funded by the Qingjiang Chamber of Commerce, and the main venue was a Dragon King Temple built during the Ming Dynasty, located on a concave river beach. The Dragon King Temple is newly decorated, hung with red lanterns, and the shadow wall is covered with red couplets.
On the beach in front of the temple by the old artist to tie up the pine and cypress door, hang full of colored lanterns, hang a plaque on the pine gate, on both sides are the vertical pavilion of the two dragons playing with pearls and the fish leaping dragon gate and other patterns, equipped with big red couplets, it looks spectacular.
The Qingjiang Chamber of Commerce had great wealth and momentum, and used hundreds of people to build a nine-story wooden altar in front of the Dragon King Temple overnight. A scarlet carpet stretched long from the altar to the river.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a white beard and chest-length old man solemnly recited the prayer to the river god, and after reciting, he held a wine bowl and held it high. Hundreds of worshippers on both sides of the red carpet followed suit, raising their bowls above their heads.
"Respect the Dragon King of Qingjiang!"
The old man shouted, slowly spilling the wine under his feet, and the rest of the people followed suit respectfully. Hundreds of Ming and yellow carved dragon flags hunted and hunted, the believers of the river beach were solemn, the gong and drummer beat the cowhide drum, sending out a shocking and vigorous drum beat, and the trumpeter puffed up his cheeks and blew the passionate horn that broke through the sky.
Knock! Knock!
Woo!
For a time, firecrackers rang out and fireworks were all over the sky. The scene is festive and spectacular, and it is more than the New Year. Amid the sound of firecrackers, many fishermen have faced the Qingjiang River to worship. Pray for a safe family and a safe harvest.
At the beginning of the sacrifice, the whole river beach area was full of cannons, gongs and drums were noisy, people were boiling, people began to burn incense and paper, kowtow to worship, and the fishermen also believed in whose firecrackers were loud. It lasts for a long time, and whoever prospers and becomes rich in this year.
In the hotel, the parents, the second aunt, quiet and solemn, offering sacrificial fruits and toasting wine. Face out the window and fold your hands.
Just when they were about to kneel, Lu Zheng suddenly glanced at Tang Scarlet, he couldn't bear his parents' kneeling. It's going to be a long time coming. But this is the case now. He didn't have any reason to stop it.
Tang Scarlet Carp understood, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, oops, my bag was forgotten in the hotel." There are very important documents in it, Lu Zheng, what should I do?"
Lu Zheng grimaced and said, "You, I told you not to lose it." What do you look at? The Dragon King Festival will begin soon. ”
"I'm in a hurry to leave in the morning. Tang Scarlet looked aggrieved.
Lu Guoyun said with a solemn expression: "If you fall in the hotel, you shouldn't be able to lose it." I think so. Lu Zheng, go and get the documents back, don't delay the company's affairs. ”
Lu Zheng was overjoyed, he originally planned to volunteer, but he didn't expect his father to take the initiative to mention it.
"But, uncle, wouldn't it be too good? ”
"What's wrong with this?" Lu Guoyun said disapprenowly: "Her mother and I represented him." Alright, let's go, it's a big deal to lose the file. ”
"Well, I'll go back when I go. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Scarlet Carp hurriedly bowed to the river twice, reciting words in his mouth, and then couldn't wait to tidy up his clothes and said, "Uncle, why don't I go too." ”
My mother was surprised and said, "Mr. Tang, don't you worship? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”
"I just bowed. Tang Feili grinned and said, "Sincerity is spiritual." ”
"I can do it myself. Lu Zheng glared at Tang Scarlet, this was not in the plan.
It's just that Tang Scarlet didn't look at him at all, and said worriedly: "That document has my signature, so it's easier to verify." ”
"That's right. Lu Guoyun groaned.
Jixiang glanced at them, hesitated slightly, and bowed according to the gourd painting, and said sweetly: "I have finished worshipping too." ”
"This ...... What's the matter with you?"
"Well, I shared a room with Mr. Tang last night. Ji Xiang squirmed and said: "I accidentally touched the document, in case the waiter can't find it, I can still help think about it." ”
Lu Zheng: "......"
These two guys must have discussed it last night, and they came together to resist the disrespect. However, Yan Xiaotian looked at Lu Zheng, and then at Tang Scarlet Carp and Jixiang, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. She is shouldering the responsibility of protecting Lu Zheng's family and quiet safety, and she must not leave.
Quietly looked at the three of them suspiciously, always felt that their expressions were a little strange, and frowned: "Why don't I go with you too......"
"Don't, don't, don't. Lu Zheng's head was big for a while, and he groaned and said, "Quiet, I think you should beg for it." If the Dragon King really works, your parents' illness may be recovered. ”
This was indeed something that Quiet was considering, and she hesitated, not insisting.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the hotel, Lu Zheng glared at Tang Scarlet and Jixiang, and snorted: "Are you two going to plot a rebellion, your courage is getting fatter and fatter, and you dare to resist the order." ”
Ji Xiang looked at Lu Zheng weakly, and looked up at a forty-five degree angle, looking pitiful.
"The Emperor agreed. Tang Scarlet grinned and moved out of Lu Zheng's father.
"I've got you!"
Lu Zheng muttered stupidly, and then left the hotel with Tang Scarlet and Jixiang. Outside, there were crowds of worshippers, but for them, it was a piece of cake, and they soon made a detour through the dense area to the Qingjiang River outside the city.
It was seventeen or eighteen miles away from the venue, but you could still hear the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers and see the green smoke swirling into the sky.
Lu Zhengjing jumped into the river, his thoughts scattered, and the water at the bottom of the river in the distance rolled and surged over. When the silt cleared, a mighty procession appeared on the riverbed.
Prime Minister Zhuge Xuan, heavy artillery Liu Shen, and iron fist Liu Neng, each with nearly a thousand shrimp soldiers, neatly lined up in twenty columns. The Spider Governor sat on the Yangtze River and sent a ferocious king crab as his commander to personally lead the elite crab generals among the 100 elites in front of the shrimp soldiers.
The swordfish and the swordfish are divided into two teams to guard the two wings, and there are forty guards with lanterns, carrying lanterns behind the palace.
"Hmm. Lu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Tang Scarlet Carp fell into the water, and suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, the number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals is indeed enough, but I think it still lacks a little charm." ”
"Shen Yun?"
Tang Scarlet Carp smiled: "This is also the result of my discussion with Master Ji last night. By the way, Lord Ji, I'll trouble you this time, let these ordinary people see the real shrimp soldiers and crab generals. ”
Lu Zheng looked at Ji Xiang inquiringly, suddenly reacted, and said categorically: "No, I have considered your suggestion." But auspicious she is injured, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to cast illusions."
"It's okay, Brother Zheng. Ji Xiang Wan'er smiled, showed his wrist, and a bracelet made of mirages hung on it, and said happily: "In order to protect your relatives, I deliberately refined a simple illusion magic weapon. Don't worry, it won't hurt your body. You see......"
With a flick of her wrist, the bottom of the river shimmered, and the fluorescence dissipated. Lu Zheng's eyes widened, the crab hung his armor, the people stood up, and the shrimp soldiers also turned into human shapes, holding guns and halberds, majestic and majestic.
Even the swordfish and swordfish took on human shapes, clad in leather armor as smooth as jade. The lantern-holding guard changed even more, completely changing into a hideous humanoid form, wearing armor and holding a halberd with a bright yellow lantern hanging from it.
"If you want to play, you can play big. Tang Scarlet Carp said hesitantly: "Maybe the ears and eyes of the Ten Thousand Demon Soldiers are hidden in the crowd, and if we show it like this, we will scare them half to death." ”
"Isn't this a bluff!" Lu Zheng said.
"No, it's called packaging, do you understand the packaging?" (To be continued.) )
