Three days later, this day is the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Tang Dynasty from the emperor to the common people attach great importance to this festival, sacrificing ancestors, praying for blessings and disasters, comforting the dead, and so on.

All Taoist temples in the world must build Jiao and pray. The Buddhist temples in the world are to purify all sentient beings and hold Bon pujas.

Since the Zhenguan period, after Master Xuanzang traveled west to Tianzhu to obtain a large number of Buddhist scriptures, Buddhism gradually flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Every year, the Obon Festival is a very important festival for the major temples in Chang'an City. More than 10 sects in Chang'an City are competing with each other, and the Bon Festival is a grand event to show the Dharma of various sects.

Among them, the Dharma Xiang, Tiantai, Zen, Huayan, Jing, Tantric and other sects are the most grand, Chang'an, from the royal family and nobles to the common people, all have to enter the temple to burn incense, worship the Buddha and pray for peace and listen to the monks explain the Dharma.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, the emperor will order the curfew to be lifted, and the talented and beautiful people can visit the temple and put a river lantern with their lover or wife to express their sorrow for the dead.

Originally, on this day, Li Ji was going to accompany Gaozong and Empress Wu to the Great Ci'en Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but it was rumored that Li Ji suddenly fell ill in the morning. After Wu Qing saw Li Ji, he saw that Li Ji was unconscious, and the maids and servants were busy going in and out. Wu Qing also walked to the neighboring Fangju helplessly, it seemed that he didn't want to see Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian today, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

"You know, Grandpa Guo is sick."

"Hey, I'm going to pity the two sisters Hongmei and Qiu Ju this time, and it's estimated that they will be sold to a brothel."

The two maids walked with bamboo baskets and told the sad inside story.

Wu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Jidu is in his seventies, and he still eats tender grass and engages in three-person games, which is really powerful, I can't do it, but I pity the two girls. There are strict regulations for slaves in the "Tang Law", which can be allowed to be killed by the master and then increased in business, and the master only needs to report to the government.

Wu Qing is very helpless, in this era, the deeper you gradually understand, the more you feel constrained, Datang's mind and Datang's spirit are more and more incomprehensible to him, a traverser.

After returning to Linfangju, he ignored Xu Xiaoying, Wang Xiu, and Aunt Wu, and went directly to the newly opened study of Linfangju.

With a long sigh, Wu Qing sat on the futon, then spread out the paper and continued to write his "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".

An hour later, Wu Qing stood up, he really couldn't stand the posture of kneeling, so that half of his body was blocked from blood, making his legs and feet numb, Wu Qing scolded a few times, it seemed that he had to make a chair. Although high stools and four-legged square tables have appeared in orchid restaurants, kneeling and sitting are still the main ones in the houses of Tang dignitaries, and some low stools and chairs have also appeared, but they have not become popular. Among them, this chair has been around for hundreds of years, but not everyone can sit on it, even if it is a high-ranking person.

Bored! It's so boring!

"Isn't it Obon today?"

Wu Qing scolded himself for being a "stupid pig", and walked out of the neighboring house, without saying hello to Aunt Wu.

Out of the neighboring Fangju, go to the side door, the main gate will not open, Wuqing all the way through the moon gate, through the flower lane. The Li Mansion is not ordinarily big, and after walking for half a pillar of incense, after finally seeing the side door, Wu Qing walked over briskly.

"Stop!"

There was an angry shout behind him.

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, the person in front of him turned out to be Li Ji's eldest grandson Li Jingye, Wu Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be dedication, I don't know what happened to call me?" ”

The Tang Dynasty is respectful and strict, don't look at Li Jingye's official status, but Wuqing is the personal disciple of the British Duke Li Ji, which is equivalent to a level of son, Li Jingye is at the level of a grandson, and when necessary, Li Jingye has to call Uncle Wuqing. It's a pity that Wu Qing doesn't have that awareness, and now that he lives in someone's house, he is much more polite.

But Li Jingye didn't think so, a grandfather's prostitution, he hadn't taken it in his eyes yet, and he was even more angry when he heard Wu Qing calling his name, and shouted: "Say, why is my grandfather sick, if you can't tell you why, I want you to look good today!" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Qing didn't expect Li Jingye to be so impulsive, what made this uncle so angry? After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but be angry, it turned out that this uncle blamed himself for making Li Ji sick? Nima, Li Ji wants to do it, but my brother doesn't want to do it. Looking at Li Jingye's stout body, and then at his thin arms and legs, he smiled bitterly in his heart, turned around and left.

"Stop, I can't tell you anything today, you don't want to go anywhere!" Li Jingye is also out of the way, and it is a big deal to be punished by his grandfather, and he will make this little kid suffer a little.

Wu Qing couldn't beat him, and the scolding seemed to be even more like admitting the fact that he was not, he was very angry at the moment, he was angry that the masked old guy hadn't come to him since that night, and he had never met a martial arts wizard in a hundred years just spending time all day long, and now he was even more humiliated.

"Biting dogs don't bark, uncle." Wu Qing turned around and said softly.

The sound was like a thin needle, piercing Li Jingye's ears, what did this mean? Li Jingye thought for a long time, until Wu Qing pushed the door out, suddenly had an epiphany, pointed at Wu Qing's back and said angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you wait!" ”

But suddenly thought of something, closed his mouth again, his eyes were on fire, his face was gloomy like water, and he saw that the old lady's maid Cuiyun was rushing here, Li Jingye didn't say a word, and stepped forward to pick up the frightened Cuiyun and beg for mercy and went into a bamboo forest next to him.

Wu Qing was completely upset by Li Jingye before he came, so he went out of Chongrenfang. The road is not lively, pedestrians are weaving, traffic is busy, and all kinds of merchants are carrying gadgets from all over Datang to sell. Talented and beautiful women are even holding hands, laughing and scolding, and occasionally groups of women in colorful clothes in the past make Wu Qing's heart itch unbearably, this is the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere is really fucking open.

On the occasion of the Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng was at its peak, and the royal family and nobles were vying to learn and imitate, and there were great changes in both clothing and diet. Hu people can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as the black Kunlun slave, and a blonde Yanma occasionally blew a fragrant wind, it was actually the Hu girl, a well-fitting Hu outfit outlined the slender waist, so that Wu Qing couldn't wait to take it into his arms and cut it off.

Someone once said that destroying beauty is also a kind of beauty love, of course, this is a perversion.

Wu Qing has all kinds of lewd thoughts in his heart, but it's a pity that looking at the girls who are plump in the brothel of the Qinglou, he can only swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then think in his heart that he has ravaged them a hundred times, or he thinks that he will pity and pity them when he grows up.

Looking from afar, the majesty of the imperial city cannot be approached, next to the Jinqiao Imperial Road, the guards of the Tang Dynasty Prison Gate who stand straight and shiny, and the Vermilion Bird Gate with long ge, Wu Qing will stay away.

Turned around and stepped onto the rumored Suzaku Street.

As far as the eye can see, Suzaku Street is more than 100 meters wide (150 meters), and all kinds of shops such as wine shops, brothels, temples, and teahouses stretch along the entire street. Wu Qing couldn't help but wonder, didn't he say that the squares along the street couldn't open the door to the side of the street, how could this be?
