Chapter 119: It's You Again
"Huh! Give me a sign! Either pay the money! Either someone! Isn't it not giving us Jiangzhou Mansion face? The leader asked.
"If you go back to the officials, we are going to participate in the sacrifice." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Oh, isn't that enough, it's a waste of our time to sell it here!" After speaking, the officers and soldiers left, "If you find out that you didn't go later, then don't blame us for being polite!" ”
"Okay, okay." Zhou Ruocheng responded with a smile.
When the officers and soldiers left, Jiang Hao, who was standing on the side, also asked, "You arranged this?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly, "Miss, there are only three people in my Jiangzhou Mansion, you tell me how to send people?" ”
"If that's the case, these guys won't have anything to do with you?" Jiang Hao asked.
"I vouch for it with my personality, no." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"How much is your personality worth?" Jiang Hao didn't look away in disgust, but he thought for a while, "Hmm... But for the sake of buying me clothes, I'll trust you for once. ”
The money was not spent in vain, Zhou Ruocheng smiled in his heart, "Thank you Miss for your trust." ”
"Right, I'm not so willful that others will look up to me, and I don't need to have such a morbid admiration! Zhou Ruocheng, this Jiangzhou is your territory, don't you care? Jiang Hao asked.
"I want to take care of it, but society is sinister, if this group of guys frame me and say that I sent them to do it, then how do I have to explain it to you?" Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Will anyone be so cheap?" Jiang Hao asked.
"It's just that someone is so cheap." Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly: "There are always Diao people who want to mess with me." ”
"Did you do something sorry for others, so people are thinking about coming to you." Jiang Hao asked.
"Miss, where is there anything in this official who can't offend people? What we have to do is to protect the interests of the majority. Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"That's why it's so hard to be an official." Jiang Hao sighed.
"Miss, what you said, if that's the case, I'm also carrying the black pot for you, this is what you should have done." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"How did this become what I did?" Jiang Hao said that he was very innocent.
"You are the governor of this Jiangzhou, who will do this if you don't do it?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"I have to do so many things, so what do I want you to do?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Uh... My lord, I'm afraid that's inappropriate, isn't it? Zhou Ruocheng was a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong, what I said, I have the final say on Jiangzhou's affairs!" Jiang Hao said.
"You can't have to do everything, can you?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.
"I don't care, anyway, it's the moth you made when I'm not there, then you can do it yourself, don't blame me." Jiang Hao said.
Zhou Ruocheng waited for her words, but he still had to act as an embarrassment, "Miss, you are going to tire me to death... ”
Jiang Hao stepped forward and patted Zhou Ruocheng on the shoulder, "Young man, do a little more to show that you are talented, aren't you?" ”
"Okay, don't talk to me about that, okay? I want to go to the festival now, and by the way, what kind of guy is pretending to be a ghost for me. Jiang Hao said.
Zhou Ruocheng shrugged his shoulders and followed Jiang Hao towards the Qianjiang River.
On the edge of the Qianjiang River,
The high altar has been erected, but there are very few people except for the staff, like the concerts of some out-of-fashion stars.
The sacrifice has not yet begun, and the staff are all preparing in a hurry.
On the side of the sacrifice there was a line of people standing there, like a border line, guarding the entire perimeter of the field, except for a small opening in the middle where sat a guy who looked unusually tugging.
Zhou Ruocheng and Jiang Hao stepped forward.
"Coming to the sacrifice? Pay the entrance fee, tea fee, and incense money first, a total of 2,000 yuan per person! The two of you have to pay four thousand dollars. The man said.
Compared with the fifty taels of the officers and soldiers, the four thousand dollars were like a drizzle, and Zhou Ruo made a deal and walked in.
Some of them sat on the ground and looked at the altar that was still decorating.
"Where is this place to sit?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Well, big brother, I want to ask where is this place to watch the sacrifice?" Zhou Ruocheng asked a middle-aged man sitting on the ground.
"Here it is." The middle-aged man pointed to the bottom of his ass and said.
"Huh? Sit on the floor? Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Or else? I was unlucky to be caught by the officers and soldiers to see the sacrifice, why, you came voluntarily, and you are really two stupid hats. The middle-aged man said.
"Well, we came from a foreign country and came here to travel during the Chinese New Year," Zhou Ruocheng explained, and every time he entered the role, he was unusually fast, "This sacrifice is too cold, right?" ”
"Hmph, it was originally a trick of the official who pretended to cheat money, what kind of main god of this Jiangzhou was sacrificed, bullshit! I haven't seen this main god for so many years, and I said that listening to the Fa in a chair is disrespectful to this main god! Bullshit! The middle-aged man seemed to be dissatisfied with this anomaly.
"Huh! Over there! What are you talking about?! An officer in the distance seemed to hear something, pointed his spear in his hand, and asked.
The middle-aged man shut up at this time.
Zhou Ruocheng glanced at Jiang Hao on the side, but Jiang Hao looked around with an indifferent look.
"Anyway, since you're here, don't even think about leaving, you can't leave without listening to the Fa." The middle-aged man said.
"Huh? I didn't expect the organizers to respect the main god so much? Zhou Ruocheng deliberately raised his voice.
"I respect the main god, that's because I have to collectively raise money once after the Fa is finished, and I won't let you go if I don't give money, eh, I'm unlucky!" The middle-aged man sighed.
Zhou Ruocheng took out a money ticket from his pocket and gave it to the middle-aged man, "Na, big brother, you take these and return them to you as the main god." ”
Then Zhou Ruocheng ignored him and walked to the front with Jiang Hao.
"Why are you giving him money if you have nothing to do?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Huh? This is to accumulate virtue for you. Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Hehe, you are really rich, do you have to give money to everyone here according to what you say? Even if I give, will they come and praise me? Jiang Hao asked.
Zhou Ruocheng wanted to say something, but at this time, someone on the side suddenly called himself.
"Lord Zhou?" The man said.
Zhou Ruocheng turned around, and was also stunned, "Miss Su?" ”
This person is Su Wan'er, but now she is wearing plain clothes and a veil on her face, beckoning here.
"Miss Su, are you here like this?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"I'm here for the sacrifice." Su Wan'er replied.
"You've been arrested too?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"No, I came voluntarily." Su Wan'er replied.
Wow! A real idiot.
"Miss Su, you have to know that this is actually someone making money in it." Zhou Ruocheng whispered to Su Wan'er.
"I know." Su Wan'er replied.
"Then what are you doing here?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Because as a Kowloon cultist, reverence for the main god of our Jiangzhou is the minimum, so no matter what form it is, the faith will not change." Su Wan'er replied.
Zhou Ruocheng glanced at Jiang Hao on the side, look, your die-hard fans are here.
Su Wan'er also saw Jiang Hao standing on the side, "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, this is someone who has the same faith as you, and she said she was interested in sacrifices, so I brought her." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Huh? What is called the same faith! Huh! You.. Jiang Hao wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Su Wan'er.
"Hello, are you also an admirer of the Nine Dragons Sect?" Su Wan'er stepped forward to say hello.
"Uh... I'm not.. Jiang Hao looked at her with some embarrassment and didn't know how to explain, could it be that he was Jiulongzi?
"Are you also an admirer of the dragon son Chaofeng? Or is it just a belief in the Kowloon Religion? Su Wan'er asked again.
"Does the Kowloon Sect still divide the main god?" Zhou Ruocheng found a place to sit down on the side and asked.
Although the Kowloon Sect is said to be a unified church, it will worship the main god of each region according to the different regions, just like our Jiulong Sect of Jiangzhou Sect advocates the worship of the dragon and the wind.
"It's like you've seen this dragon with no head or tail." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"I haven't seen it, but my grandfather saw it when he was younger, and here are the notes he left to study the habits of Chaofeng." Su Wan'er took out two somewhat worn books from the bag on the side.
"Wow, your grandfather turned out to be his hardcore brainchild." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Lord Zhou, we are admirers, not brainless fans, the belief of the Kowloon Sect is noble and pure, we respect the Lord God, but we don't want the Lord God to do anything for us, let alone deceive anything through the authority of the Lord God, the Kowloon Sect's belief in the Lord God is based on the fear of the Lord God, not this kind of blind admiration, please pay attention." Su Wan'er didn't seem to be joking with herself.
Jiang Hao looked at Su Wan'er's notebook, which was densely packed with records of any time, place and occurrence of Chaofeng returning to Jiangzhou nearly a hundred years ago, and every word and deed was recorded.
"Is there a record of every time the wind comes back?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes, the bishops of the Nine Dragons Sect in Jiangzhou in the past generations will record it when the main god returns, and it has been passed down to my grandfather's generation." Su Wan'er replied.
Jiang Hao flipped through the quaint notebook, but after the second half, the notebook suddenly broke off, and all that was left was some yellowed paper.
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Later, the main god Chaofeng did not appear for a long time, due to the disappearance of the main god, the power of the church was gradually deprived by the chamber of commerce and the imperial court, and after my father became the head of the church, there were almost no followers, and then the establishment of Jianghang Mansion, the prevalence of various rules, so that many people began to run for life, and no one would worship the Kowloon Sect." Su Wan'er said, took the note from Jiang Hao's hand, and carefully put it in her bag, "This is my grandfather's relic, I have always kept it close to me, no matter when it comes, I have not discarded it, I hope that one day when the main god comes back, I can continue to write for the main god." ”
Zhou Ruocheng glanced at Jiang Hao again, this time Jiang Hao didn't speak, just looked at Su Wan'er a little sluggishly.
It was at this time that someone finally came up to the altar.
Zhou Ruocheng actually knew, that was Yang Yichen, the son of Yang Zhifu of Jianghang Mansion, Yang Yichen and Zhou Ruocheng went to Jiangning before and came back when they encountered their own bandits who defected, resulting in being shot through the footboard, so he is still in a wheelchair until now, and today he is pushed forward with a serious face.
"Haha, as expected." Zhou Ruocheng looked at Yang Yichen and said that he already had a number in his heart.
Zhou Ruocheng looked around, and there were really many unlucky eggs who were "looted" by the officers and soldiers to watch the sacrifice.
Yang Yichen waved his hand, and a guy stepped forward with a big horn in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen! According to the usual practice, today is our Jiangzhou to worship the Lord God Chaofeng and open the altar to say, in order to bless our Jiangzhou in the new year! Harvested a lot... "I'm talking useless nonsense again.
A woman dressed like a goddess on this side stepped forward and stood on the altar.
"Well, then, we have a goddess! Come and welcome the will of the Lord God for everyone!! The man said.
“。。。。” This is the most lame large-scale fooling scene, right? Isn't the Lord God sitting beside him?
"Greetings~~~~Lord God~~~~" The goddess had a pair of dry and slender hands with many silver rings hanging from the bells, and began to chant in a strange tone.
"Long live the Lord God! Long live Lord Chaokaze! Some of the people down there really screamed and began to worship.
。。。。。。
