Chapter 313: A Dream City
In addition to Wang Su, his wife Deng and his ten-year-old son Wang Dangjie accompanied the three of them, and two servants to a large temple. At this time, the whole city is full www.biquge.info of cheers, and all kinds of lanterns are hung and raised, and there are many performances, all kinds of items, special products, and knick-knacks, which are dazzling to see.
A few people just put the river lantern, and then followed an old servant to the temple, the temple is also brightly lit, coming and going, bursts of incense from the inside.
When Shehai saw that it was a temple, he asked, "What kind of temple is this, and what god does it worship?"
Deng said with a smile: "We are a lantern festival, so naturally we worship the god of lights." ”
Wang Dangjie shouted: "I've been here, and here is the lamp god Niangniang." ”
Wuyu saw that Wang Suzi greeted people, and said with a smile: "I think this Uncle Wang is the god of lights, and he talks about business with people everywhere." ”
Deng said: "He is busy with his, he is indeed busy at this time, let's play our own." ”
She Hai was quite curious, and said, "Lantern God Niangniang, who is it?"
Wuyu smiled: "It's still a person, the lamp god Niangniang, naturally a god." ”
The old servant Zheng Zhong said: "The lamp god Niangniang is not a god, but a human. ”
"Since it's a human, why is it called the God of Lights?"
Deng said: "It seems that this was many years ago, about 20 years ago. ”
Zheng Zhong said: "That's right, although it relies on Jinshan Country, this Cuicheng was a wilderness many years ago, there are only a few small villages in total, and every family is farming for a living, sometimes I can't help but be poor, so I went to Lian'an Temple to be a monk." ”
Wuyu said: "Shehai, did you go to Lian'an Temple like this?"
She Hai said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Wuyu laughed and said, "The monks are not angry. Shehaiin said: "My family lives in Yinfeng City, and I have never been here." ”
Step torture said: "Lao Zheng, don't pay attention to them, you said yours." ”
Zheng Zhong smiled and said, "Later, there was a person from this place, who was also the great benefactor of our Cuicheng. ”
Wuyu asked, "Who is it, how can he be so kind to Cuicheng?"
Deng said: "It is the lamp god Niangniang in the temple, the land of Cuicheng is barren, until the lamp god Niangniang came, and taught a lot of crafts, the most exquisite of which is to tie lanterns." She led the people of Cuicheng to dig mountains and open roads, and sold lanterns to various places, and later merchants from all walks of life came here to purchase, so this became the city of lights, and there were more rich people, and the people of Cuicheng no longer suffered from famine. ”
She Hai said: "Where did this lady go later?"
Zheng Zhong looked forward to it, and said: "Later, she left, no one has ever seen her again, and because of her kindness, the people of Cuicheng built a temple, and asked the craftsman to carve a statue to worship inside, and called her the lamp god Niangniang to commemorate it." ”
Wuyu asked: "This lamp god Niangniang must be an immortal, sent by God to save you, what is her real name?"
Zheng Zhongdao: "No one knows, she seems to be really sent by God, the lamp god Niangniang is too kind, and at that time it looked like she was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, speaking of which, someone has seen a green character on her clothes, and after the city was built, she used that green character, which is also the origin of the name of Cuicheng." ”
"Cui Zi?" Wuyu was a little puzzled, he seemed to have seen these clothes with the word 'Cui' somewhere.
Zheng Zhong said with a smile: "The lamp god Niangniang has never appeared again, so let's not look for her, but we are grateful for this kindness, so we set up a temple to worship." ”
Foot torture said: "This lamp god lady has gone quietly, it's not good to be famous, she just hopes that you can live well, since the life of the people of Cuicheng is getting better and better, she is satisfied, she is indeed a strange woman." ”
Wuyu said: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
Zheng Zhong said: "Okay, you come with me, when this lamp temple was built, my old Zheng also moved bricks and tiles." ”
As Lao Zheng entered, there was a row of bright red lanterns at the door, neatly hanging in front of the temple corridor, a vermilion gate was open on both sides, and the people inside came and went, each with candles and lanterns, Wuyu asked: "Is the worship lamp god Niangniang also burning incense?"
Deng said: "It's not to burn incense, but to burn paper lanterns, since it is the lamp god Niangniang, it is naturally different from worshiping Buddha and worshipping God." It is said that she has always been frugal, so she made a rule that each person could only burn one and pay a sacrifice. ”
She Hai said with a smile: "This is the same as us worshipping the Buddha in the temple, we worship more, and we have God's blessing." Listening to this, Wuyu also remembered that it seemed that Lan Lan'er also believed in Buddhism, Tian Yufeng always teased her about this, but she only did her own, worshiped in her heart, and regarded herself as a belief, and didn't care about others.
Zheng Zhong said: "Exactly, let's go to play elsewhere after worshipping, tonight's Emerald City can be lively." "Entering the temple, you will see a layer of white gauze shadow, in which there is a statue of three or four people high, that is a woman, from the carving, a pair of eyes are smart and peaceful, as if with infinite kindness, the corner of the mouth warm smile, as if it is the clear water hibiscus, natural charm, soft but not charming.
"This is ......," Wuyu called out. Seeing his expression, everyone asked, "What's wrong?"
She Hai said: "What are you doing?"
Seeing what was going on, he said, "Wuyu, do you know this lamp god Niangniang?"
Wuyu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I ...... How can I know him?" everyone disagreed, looking at his expression, there must be something he didn't want to say, and since he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask about it. As soon as Wuyu saw this statue of the lamp god Niangniang, she felt familiar, and took a closer look, this is not Zhong Fang, but at this time she is a little younger, not like she is a little older now, but she can still see that this lamp goddess Niangniang is Zhong Fang when she was young.
When he said that, the Deng family had already taken Wang Dangjie to pay a respect, and Zheng Zhong and the servants picked up something and came over, each with a small white folding lantern. Zheng Zhong pointed and said, "There's a furnace, let's just throw the lantern into it." ”
A few people kowtowed a few times first, looking at Zhong Fang, Wuyu couldn't cry or laugh, but there was no taboo, Zhong Fang was also his elder, and he was very good to him, these heads kowtowed to the statue but didn't kowtow to her real person, but people couldn't help but be a little funny, but thinking that Zhong Fang had such a style at that time, he admired it in his heart, and it was no wonder that Tian Yufeng always remembered Zhong Fang's goodness, which was true.
After burning the lantern, as Lao Zheng went out, Wang Su was already waiting outside, and he said, "Okay, after you finish worshipping, let's go around." Several of them agreed. The city is indeed lively at this time, the night fire is bright, there are brilliant lanterns floating next to this artificially dug river, Wuyu and Shehai put a few lamps with the Deng family, write down their wishes, and I don't know who can see it, the river lanterns float away.
This world is like a tide, and people are also floating, I don't know where to float, I don't know who they put in front of?
……
The second day was already noon, and yesterday the second watch went back to sleep, and the three of them left the Wang Su family, and then rode to the east, and it was eight days later to the city of dreams. When they came to Yimeng City, the three of them felt that they had lived in vain before, although Yinfeng Country was Yindi, in the end, it was ranked second, and there was a gap, and Yimeng City was the capital of Jinshan Country, and it was really not empty words. As soon as I entered the city, the road was instantly opened, and the ordinary streets alone were enough for five or six carriages to gallop side by side, and the floor tiles were also white and shining, smooth without a trace of cracking and wrinkles, and it seemed that the stone slabs that paved the floor were not ordinary stones.
Endless shouting, the street gadgets in the alleys are dazzling, all kinds of decoration of luxury inns, goulan gambling houses, the whole street rarely sees dirty things, after a while there are guards patrolling, people do their own thing, a good scene of prosperity and happiness, many people salute and greet, extremely polite and modest, but also hear the sound of orchestral music, beautiful and pleasant, wind and snow. The wine is given to poetry, there are talented people who talk highly, which makes people yearn for it, the piano sings harmoniously, and there are twenty-eight beautiful people who whisper lightly, like melodious, which makes people intoxicated.
She Haidao: "I was in Yinfeng City before, and I thought I had seen the world, but when I looked here, Yinfeng City was just a rural place. ”
Foot torture killed: "It is indeed very different from other places, this is the center of the Central Continent, and it is also the place where the three families of Sikong Nangong Shangguan are entrenched, naturally it is extremely prosperous, I am afraid that we have only seen the surface, and the real world is not here." ”
Wuyu asked, "Where is Sikong's family?" Shehai said: "You don't really want to go to that Sikong Mei, do you?"
She Hai smiled: "I see that the more Wuyu comes here, the more anxious he becomes, this is not for him to worry, haha, it seems that you have a lot of relationship with the second lady of the Sikong family." ”
Wuyu smiled: "She is my favorite person, and she is also my mother......" Before the words were finished, a mountain-like dull voice came from behind the three of them, the three of them were taken aback, and looked back, it was a short and strong man, he asked, "Where did you three come from?"
Shehai said: "We are from Lian'an Temple, I don't know what the donor is going to do when he suddenly appears?"
His face was covered with a layer of coldness, and he said, "Any of the three of you is named Wuyu?"
Shehai was about to say, "Someone recognizes you again." The foot torture hurriedly beat him and said: "No, in the next surname Bu, this is the little master of Shehai, this is Qin Zong who came with us." ”
The man said: "My name is Shangguan Yang, if you know that a person named Wuyu in this city has appeared, you must greet me well, and you will be rewarded when the time comes." ”
Wuyu asked, "I don't know what Brother Sikong is looking for him for?"
Shangguan Yang said: "This kid doesn't know where he got the blessing, I heard that Sikong Mei has been waiting for him, and recently got the news, this kid is actually going here, if he comes, he must let him taste the lesson, what kind of identity is Sikong Mei, how can he be worthy?"
Wuyu's face sank, and said, "How can he be worthy?" Shangguan Yang saw a scar on Wuyu's face, and said with a smile: "If he looks like you, I won't be worried, Scar Face, haha, I was quite suspicious of you, but now that I look at it, I don't have to doubt it." "You say, how can he not be worthy?" Wuyu shouted angrily, grabbed Shangguan Yang, and said, "You told me, why is Wuyu not worthy of Sikong Mei." ”
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Yang lifted himself up when he saw Wuyu, trying to break free, but unexpectedly, Wuyu's other hand had already pressed his chest, and he immediately lost his strength.
Foot torture killing: "Wuyu, he is from the Shangguan family, let's ......"
Wuyu said: "I've had enough. "How could he not see the contempt that Wang Su didn't say but could see from the smile in his eyes, Sikong Mei was excellent, but his unforgettable cultivation in the past two years was just to be able to see him again one day. When Lan Lan'er heard about this, she also persuaded him to give up at the beginning, after all, the gap between the identities and status of the two was too big, but although Tian Yufeng was depreciating and constantly encouraging himself, Gong Qianling also supported himself without reservation, although Le Si was tired, he also felt that he could do it, even if he lived up to this hard work, he also had to see Sikong Mei and win this marriage of his own.
Shangguan Yang said: "I'm from the Shangguan family, boy, you'd better let me go." ”
Wuyu sneered: "Didn't you say that I am not worthy, are you worthy, you can't even beat me, how can you match Xiaomei?"
Bu Xing Kill thought in his heart: "Isn't it that Wuyu already has a demon, alas...... Let's see how. ”
Shangguan Yang said: "I said he was not worthy, but I didn't say ......" He gritted his teeth in surprise and said, "You...... Could it be that little ......" The word 'mongrel' didn't come out, and said, "You are the Wuyu?" Wuyu said: "What do you say?" Shangguan Yang said: "This is a dream city, even if you are Sikong Mei's sweetheart, let me go." Shehai persuaded: "Wuyu, let him go, he didn't say anything, just ...... You have too much heart. ”
"Yes, yes. Looking at Wuyu's red eyes, Shangguan Yang softened a little, and said, "Yes, let me go, your martial arts are so high, I ...... I took it, and I won't say it again. ”
"Let go of him, no jade ......" This is another person, with a wide crown and a lot of jade-colored jewelry hanging on his body, and his expression is quite proud. He was followed by a few servants.
Wuyu crossed and said, "Who are you?"
Shangguan Yang said: "Third Brother Sikong, help me, this kid without jade is crazy." His whole body was weak at the moment, as if he was soaking in a jar of vinegar, sour and soft.
The man smiled and said, "My name is Sikong Mei, and I am Sikong Mei's brother. ”
Foot Torture Kill thought to himself: "It's the Nine Great Families again, and sure enough, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in this city." ”
Wuyu said: "Are you Xiaomei's second brother?" His expression changed, and he smiled: "So what? I know Xiaomei, but I don't know you?" Sikong smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are multi-minded, but I have more than one relationship with you." ”
Wuyu asked, "We have never met, what else does it matter?"
Sikong smiled lightly and said, "You can also call me ......" His faint smile became softer.
"Brother-in-law!"
"What?" everyone was shocked. Wuyu wondered, "What is the reason for this?"
Sikong laughed even more, and said: "I know your name is Wuyu, the master is Tian Yufeng, and the master's name is Lan Lan'er, you lived in Wuwei Mountain before, and you liked a girl named Liang Xiaoqing before, and there are five senior brothers and sisters, so you can trust me." ”
"Why. ”
"No snow, it's my wife. ”
