123 The flow of the birthday ceremony
Not long after Luo Zhizhen withdrew the golden needle, the waiter woke up, and the black-red palm print on his chest gradually faded under the relief of the elixir, even if he damaged his cultivation a little, it was already the best result. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The isolation barrier was removed, and the surrounding monks saw the attendant standing there unharmed, and began to talk again. They focused their inquisitive and curious eyes on Luo Zhizhen, as if they wanted to find out what was so powerful about this female cultivator who only had the seventh level of Qi cultivation that could save a person who was certain to die.
Luo Zhizhen glanced at the hall of the Drunken Immortal Building, and had a faint headache.
The place to eat is the most crowded and noisy, and this matter is likely to spread from one to the next, and it will become a daily topic of small talk in Tiandu City.
Fortunately, she wore a veil, and she was still mentally guarded, and no one knew what she looked like and her name.
Ying Cai'er also knew Luo Zhizhen's doubts, and hurriedly invited her and Bai Qianqian upstairs.
Mu Chongming's private room is on the third floor and is not open to the public.
After Luo Zhizhen was introduced into the private room, Ying Caier instructed the kitchen to make Juxian Lou's specialty dish. She personally took a jar of wine, opened it in front of Luo Zhizhen, and poured a glass of wine for him.
Luo Zhizhen found that the wine in the wine glass was pale pink. She picked up the wine glass and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff lightly, and then she smelled a sweet floral scent, and couldn't help but hesitate: "This is peach blossom brew?" ”
"Miss Luo has good eyesight." Ying Caier picked up her wine glass and toasted Luo Zhizhen with a glass of wine, which was regarded as a gift of reception, and also meant thanking the other party for saving the scene today.
After Luo Zhizhen drank a glass of wine, he only felt that his whole body was like being soaked in a hot spring, so comfortable that even his pores were open. What's even more peculiar is that the spiritual power in the body actually began to circulate spontaneously in the meridians, as if it was meditating and cultivating. It can be seen that this must not be an ordinary peach blossom brew.
"You should be in charge and entertain you with such good wine, and you will be blessed with your mouth." Luo Zhizhen couldn't help laughing.
Ying Cai'er shook her head and said, "This is Ming Gongzi's order, the little woman is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Luo Zhizhen paused for a moment. Ming Gongzi, isn't he referring to Mu Chongming. Most monks will use a pseudonym when they walk outside, and His Royal Highness had told her before that his pseudonym was Ming Ji.
Looking at the pale pink peach blossom brew in the cup, Luo Zhizhen couldn't help asking, "Ming Gongzi likes to drink this spirit wine?" ”
Ying Cai'er knew that the other party had an extraordinary relationship with His Royal Highness, so she didn't take much precautions, shook her head with a smile and said, "Ming Gongzi used to like to drink osmanthus brew, but he only started to change his habits half a year ago, and ordered us to brew a lot of peach blossom brew for him to drink. Especially this peach blossom brew, the raw material is taken from the flowers on the peach blossom tree of the 10,000-year-old fairy spirit, so it can brew this pale pink color, and it is beneficial to cultivation. ”
Luo Zhizhen was a little surprised, and secretly said in his heart: Wouldn't His Second Highness suddenly change this drinking habit because he didn't die last time?
Qiao Meiren planted a lot of peach blossom trees in her private house in Mochizuki City, and she likes to drink peach blossom porridge and peach blossom wine, so Ah Luan often makes them for her to drink. During the days of recuperation, His Royal Highness drank a lot of peach blossom porridge with her, and when her health improved, she gave the other party some peach blossom brew. Could it be that after drinking too much, His Royal Highness has changed his taste?
After eating and drinking with Bai Qianqian in the private room, Ying Cai'er arranged a place for them to rest, which was on the third floor of Juxian Building.
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Qianqian patted his belly and said to Luo Zhizhen with satisfaction: "Zhen'er, your friend is too righteous, not only providing us with food, but also covering the accommodation problem. Now that Tiandu City is overcrowded, I'm afraid that the inns are full of people, and it is difficult to find a place to live. Although the monks can make do with it anywhere, with such a comfortable dwelling, who would want to find a big tree or a cave to meditate! ”
Luo Zhizhen shook his head amusedly and said, "Rest early, isn't tomorrow going to see the birthday ceremony of the lord of the country!" Fireworks will be set off in the city before dawn, so we have to get up early. ”
This kind of custom that is different from the previous life makes Luo Zhizhen very unaccustomed. In the previous life, every major festival was to set off fireworks at night, but the lord of the country would feast his ministers at night and would not show up outside the palace. The ordinary monks in Tiandu City could only see the lord of the country during the day, so the habit of setting off fireworks was moved to early in the morning before dawn.
White and shallow cultivation is high, and you can stay awake, or even eat or drink for hundreds of years. But because of her greed, Bigu has nothing to do with her, but she has good energy and doesn't sleep much. As soon as he heard that he could see the fireworks in the morning, his white eyes immediately lit up, and he pulled Luo Zhizhen's arm and kept swaying: "Zhen'er, I know you're tired." Let's lie down and talk, can you tell me what you will do at the birthday ceremony of the lord of the country? We'll go to sleep with that. ”
couldn't hold back Bai Qianqian's expectations, Luo Zhizhen had no choice but to agree.
The two changed their clothes and lay on the bed, and Luo Zhizhen said to Bai Qianqian: "At midnight in the morning, the lord of the country will send a special guard team to drop fireworks everywhere in the city. In order, the golden fireworks are set off first, followed by green, blue, red, and brown fireworks, representing the five spiritual sources of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. When the time comes, the sky of the whole city will be lit up with fireworks. ”
"When the fireworks are seen, the monks of the whole city have to open their windows or go out into the streets to enjoy the spectacle. After the fireworks, the monk would hang a red lantern in front of his house or in front of his shop, and this lantern would be lit for seven days and seven nights in a row, indicating the prosperity of the Star Luo Continent. ”
"On the day of the birthday ceremony of the lord of the kingdom, all the monks are not allowed to open the valley, and they must eat three meals. After breakfast, the lord of the kingdom will lead his ministers and guards to parade through the official roads of Tiandu City, and then worship the ancestors. After worshipping the ancestors, the lord of the kingdom would eat lunch at the Guangyan Terrace, and would also distribute the food prepared in advance in the palace to the monks in the city as a favor. In the afternoon, the lord of the country will return to the palace, and in the evening, he will feast the ministers in the palace, entertain the representatives of various forces, and receive congratulatory gifts by the way. That's basically the process. ”
Luo Zhizhen said a rough idea, and the more Bai Qianqian listened, the more excited he became, and asked Luo Zhizhen to explain the details of each activity in detail.
Luo Zhizhen's consciousness was almost overdrawn today, and he really wanted to rest, so he said to Bai Qianqian: "Those activities are only interesting if you see them yourself, and there will be no surprises when I say it." ”
"Well, then I'll see for myself tomorrow! Zhen'er, I heard that this birthday ceremony is a big event, and the national teacher will come when the ancestors are worshipped, is it true? ”
Luo Zhizhen said helplessly: "I haven't seen the national teacher, I have only heard that the other party's whereabouts are unknown, since this celebration is very important, the national teacher may be there." ”
"I heard that the national teacher is a very magical person, with extraordinary magical powers, above the Three Realms, I really want to see what he looks like......" Bai Qian's eyes were red, and he said excitedly with his hands folded.
Luo Zhizhen looked at Bai Qianqian's appearance, couldn't help but shake his head, pulled the quilt on his body, extinguished the spirit stone lamp and said, "I'm going to sleep, if you dare to make me sleep, go back to the next room." ”
Bai Qian stuck out his tongue and lay down. Although she didn't want to sleep, the smell of Zhen'er made her feel very comfortable, and she didn't want to go back to the unpopular room next door.
Luo Zhizhen quickly fell asleep. But I don't know that tomorrow is destined to be an uneven day.
The next day, it was still dark, and the night sky outside was lit up by clusters of golden fireworks. Bai Qianqian opened the window, and then turned his head to Luo Zhizhen, who had just woken up, and said, "Look, there are fireworks!" (To be continued.) )
