Chapter 26 Shangyang River Lantern Festival
Song House.
Song Yan stood behind Song Yushan and watched with a smile as the old man walked out of the small courtyard.
There is actually nothing special about the meeting between the two, it is nothing more than the family routine of the grandfather and grandson, but Song Yan did not regard himself as a grandson, and Song Yushan could not rely on the old and sell the old.
After several overtures were brought back, Song Yushan realized that wanting Song Yan to return to the Song family was undoubtedly a long way to go, and he couldn't rush it for a while.
However, Song Yushan was not in a hurry, he believed that as long as Song Yan was still surnamed Song, it would be impossible to completely dissociate himself from the Song family.
Song Yan is even less anxious, he knows better than anyone else in his heart that he does not have any inextricable grudges with the Song family, and drawing a clear line is more to avoid trouble and save people from wanting to be a drag oil bottle.
Before Song Yushan left, Song Yan also asked about Yan'er's origin.
Song Yushan didn't tell him the answer directly, but smiled a little mysteriously: "Yan'er is a good girl, and Hongwen is also a talented man and a woman, if you are interested, you can take her as a concubine...... You can also marry a wife, and you will not suffer in the future. ”
Song Yan was a little inexplicable, but Song Yushan was not a strong martial artist, and he couldn't ask why he couldn't sense Yan'er, so he had to give up.
After sending Song Yushan and Song An away, Song Yan was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun in a daze, and Yan'er had already come up to report: "Young master, the porter said that there are two female catchers with six doors looking for you." ”
"Oh, it's finally here...... Wait a minute, two?" Song Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
......
"So, based on the information of the two of you, the people of the Xianyin Sect deliberately approached the Four Princes, and after discovering that the plan had been discovered by the Six Gates, they deliberately spread the news to lure the Demon Dao Scattered Cultivators to muddy the waters?"
Song Yan touched his chin and thought about it, and synthesized the news brought by the two female catchers.
Qi Mushi and Zhou Qingqing sat opposite Song Yan, but they still deliberately sat very open, and they had no objections to Song Yan's words.
This was obvious, and they also believed when they discussed it in the Six Gates, that only the Xianyin Sect had this motive and ability to spread rumors about the Four Princes.
"The Demon Sect demon is so hateful, isn't that the fourth prince already in danger, we have to warn him earlier!" Monk Jinggen was sitting next to him, filled with righteous indignation.
Zhou Qingqing couldn't help but glance at him speechlessly and said, "We have already informed Shenwutang of this news, and they will be responsible for the protection of the royal family." ”
In fact, according to the ideas of Zhou Qingqing and Qi Mushi, the matter of the four princes only needs to be told to Song Yan alone, after all, he is still needed to contribute, and the Jinggen monk does not need to know at all.
But Song Yan heard that Zhou Qingqing was among the visitors, so he pulled his senior brother over without saying a word, and the second daughter didn't say much.
They have all seen Song Yan's domineering, if they don't follow his will in this kind of matter, it is really possible for this person to turn his face directly, even if it is just a trivial matter.
"Oh, that's good......" Monk Jinggen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was pure in nature, and the first thing he was worried about was whether anyone would be hurt, and nothing else.
Although Qi Mushi and Zhou Qingqing are not bad people, they both have their own positions and have reached an agreement on this matter, that is, to solve the case first, and it is best to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
As for whether the four princes will be in danger because of this, it is not their concern, because it is not their duty, and there will really be an accident...... Then come out, can't the huge Great Zhou still have a prince?
For the royal family, it is difficult for Wu Xiu to be as respectful as a god like a mortal.
Song Yan saw the personalities of the three of them clearly, and just smiled and said, "In this case, I think the Xianyin Sect can't wait for the day when the concubine is accepted on the fifth day of the first month, and you also want me to act in advance?"
"Declare in advance, I am only interested in the Xianyin Sect in this matter, if you want me to persuade the four princes, then I haven't said it. ”
Qi Mushi and Zhou Qingqing glanced at each other, and the former spoke: "Don't worry, we don't want to be alarmed by the four princes." The most direct object of suspicion of the Six Doors now is Zhao Jinghua, so we hope that you will come forward to test whether Zhao Jinghua is a disciple of the Xianyin Sect. ”
"How to tempt?" Song Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he said in his mouth.
"Tomorrow is the second day of the lunar month, and the evening is when the Shangyang River Lantern Festival will be held, and that Miss Zhao will definitely participate at that time, and we will lock her position. Qi Mushi also smiled, "It's up to Mr. Song next, Mr. is resourceful, can't he test a mere lady?"
"Well, the one who can take a punch from me without crying must be the demon girl of the Demon Sect. ”
“......”
......
The next day, the second day of the lunar month, in the evening.
The Shangyang River Lantern Festival is an annual event in Shangjing, which has always been lively and extraordinary, and most of the people in Shangjing will participate.
From the princes and nobles to the common people, without exception.
Reading the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will know that Shangyang River and this lantern festival, which can be called a national event, have an allusion in history.
A thousand years ago, at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the national capital did not choose Luodu, the former site of the previous dynasty, but chose Shangjing, which was not prosperous at that time, so all kinds of problems needed to be solved, and the first was transportation.
The official roads around Shangjing gradually opened up, only the west gateway Quanyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and Shangjing is unfortunately on the other side of the mountain.
The caravans from Shangjing to Quanyang had to trek through mountains and rivers, which greatly affected commercial exchanges, and the Great Zhou decided to open an artificial river to connect Shangjing with Quanyang, and then connect all parts of the country from Quanyang.
The construction plan was prepared for two months, and when he was about to start construction, he was seen by Zheng Chong, a sword cultivator who was the master of Shenwu Hall at the time, and laughed at that time: "Just this little thing, it also needs to be prepared for two months?"
After saying that, he took the design and took the door away, but the tea time had already returned, and between Shangjing and Quanyang, there was already a long sword mark, connecting the two cities.
The Supreme Elder of the Cangxuan Sword Sect is terrifying......
Two days later, on the second day of the lunar month, the Shangyang River was officially diverted to water, and the people in Shangjing spontaneously gathered on both sides of the Shangyang River to hold a lantern festival to commemorate Zheng Chong's sword work, and this custom has continued to this day.
In modern times, the Shangyang River Lantern Festival has become a symbol of the prosperity of martial arts, and it is also a reminder to the monarchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if Zheng Chong was the supreme sword cultivator of the Divine Void Realm, he was still willing to give the sword for the people, and the Great Zhou must not embark on the old road of Buddhism and Taoism.
And today, thousands of years later, Song Yan walked on the bank of the prosperous Shangyang River, recalling the history he saw in the book, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and said to the Jinggen monk next to him: "Senior brother, you said that if that Zheng senior is still alive now, will he come to participate in the Lantern Festival every year to see the big guy commemorate himself?"
Monk Jinggen's face turned green suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense...... The powerful body of the Divine Void Realm will not fall for thousands of years, and the soul will not be extinguished for thousands of years, and most of the seniors of Zheng are still alive now, so they really want to be as you said......"
"Huh, is that so?" Song Yan couldn't help but be stunned, if you really want to be like what I said, maybe it's right next to me?
He hurriedly looked around, but fortunately nothing abnormal happened, but Zhou Qingqing and Qi Mushi, who were walking behind, took a step to the sides with a look of disgust, as if they were afraid of being affected by Song Yan.
