Gu Anxia's uncle and nephew arrived at the right time, and in two days it will be the biggest day in Xiangling except for the Chinese New Year's Eve, the "Xiang God Festival".

As the name suggests, it is a day to worship the water god of the Xiangjiang River. I heard that there will be a Xiangfei lady who begs the water god of the Xiangjiang River to protect Xiangling on the Jiangkou 'Qishen Platform'.

Gu Tianxing has always loved to watch the excitement, and Gu Anxia's "Records of Experiences and Experiences" is still short of materials, so the two naturally coincidentally paid for a few more days at the inn, planning to stay and increase their knowledge.

The streets of Gangneung Fortress are becoming more and more lively day by day, and the lights are lit up as if it is going to be a New Year.

On the evening of the day before the "Hunan God Festival", every household hung the "Xiang Concubine Picture", which is said to be able to make the Xiang Concubine remember the incense in the world and be blessed.

Gu Tianxing felt weird, why did this Xiang Concubine still have any incense in the world? Moreover, it is better to ask for the Xiangjiang water god directly than to ask for the Xiangjiang water god, why not hang the water god map?

Obviously, she was not the only one who had this question, and the diners at the table next to her had already asked first. I only heard a diner A explain:

"This Xiangfei has been selected by the Xiangling territory since ancient times, and she has a bit of incense. Concubine Xiang has always been gentle, and besides, the water god is busy, if it is not the high priest, who can recruit it. ”

This sounds like nothing at first glance, but after careful consideration, I always feel a little weird, doesn't it mean that the girl will be chosen as the concubine of Xiang every year?

What's the use of praying? I'd rather ask for a 'Xiang Concubine' played by a mortal girl than hang a portrait of the water god, it seems that I feel that this water god has a bad temper and is afraid in my heart.

Gu Tianxing shook his head secretly, it was just a kind of solar term that had been passed down, and people were just asking for peace of mind.

Myths and stories are never rigorous, and I really think too much.

Just after the end of the second day, Gu Tianxing was woken up by a burst of gongs and drums and shouts, freshened up and picked up a piece of pastry and couldn't wait to go downstairs to watch.

Gu Anxia had already eaten almost, and when she saw her niece coming down, she hurriedly greeted:

"Woke up? Come and eat, the position I picked was an extra silver or two, which is much more comfortable than squeezing outside, and I can see it clearly. ”

Gu Tianxing walked over quickly, sat down, and then looked out the window:

"The view is good, but at most, I can only see the frame of Concubine Xiang's car parade to the corner, and I can't see it behind.

Fourth uncle, your old man is really arrogant now, and he spent an extra silver for this look, I must not tell the fourth aunt! ”

Gu Anxia touched her nose, a little embarrassed, as if she had done something bad and was discovered by her niece. It's not right when I think about it, I'm not alone to sneak in and watch!

Then he sat up straight again, and said with a serious face:

"It's nothing that the fourth uncle has rough skin and thick meat, but you are a little girl, how can you crowd together with those people in the market?

This money is worth spent, your fourth aunt is not a childish person, just sit and watch with peace of mind, I, as an uncle, can't I make some silver for my niece?! ”

Gu Tianxing almost didn't squirt out the eggs in her mouth, and gave her fourth uncle a thumbs up, sure enough, he was cunning!

As they spoke, the sound of gongs and drums was already coming this way, and the two hurriedly poked their heads out of the window.

I saw a carved golden lotus base of the sedan chair, carried by eight people to move slowly, the sedan chair around the body of four auspicious cloud pillars, with embroidered with the pattern of the Hunan concubine silk brocade curtain cage.

Its sedan chair Wenhua top Western plate, four corners hanging glazed bead lamp, falling big red color balls, really gorgeous abnormal.

The sedan chair was surrounded by six good-looking maids, and the drums played all the way, which was quite festive.

In addition, there are six strong men in the front and back of the team, who seem to be used to open the way and defend, I think they are afraid that the people will be too enthusiastic and collide with the selected Xiang Concubine Niangniang?!

This Hunan goddess is really beautiful, even through the veil, you can still see her outstanding demeanor. just looked closely, but found that the pear blossoms that this girl was crying with rain, so she was not sad.

"Bah, why are you crying like this? Didn't the little brother say yesterday that it was extremely honorable to choose Concubine Xiang, and the government government also gave a subsidy of one hundred taels of silver! ”

Gu Anxia thought about it and nodded, always feeling that things might not be so simple, could it be that after choosing Concubine Xiang, she would have to live in the temple for the rest of her life and not be allowed to marry?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it became, and immediately said to Gu Tianxing:

"Take a plate of snacks and let's go to the 'Enlightenment Terrace' and have a look!"

After a week around the city, the sedan chair will blow and blow and march towards the river.

Suddenly, the sound of blowing stopped, and after a series of deafening firecrackers, a middle-aged man in a fancy costume sang loudly:

"Please Xiangfei Niangniang get off the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair drivers slowly put down the sedan chair, and the maid stepped forward, gently lifted the veil, and helped the 'Xiang Concubine Niangniang' wearing a red wedding robe.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man said loudly:

"Please Xiangfei Niangniang set foot on the road to ascending immortals!"

The girl suddenly cried silently, and then two strong women came, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly climbed the steps.

This "Ascending Immortal Road" Gu Tianxing swept with his divine sense, and there were ninety-nine steps from bottom to top, and above it was the Enlightenment Stage.

Don't underestimate this road, ordinary civilians are not qualified to stand on both sides of the steps, let alone really go up to the 'Enlightenment Platform'.

It took Gu Anxia a full hundred taels to allow their uncle and nephew to stand on the edge of the top of the steps.

According to Xiao Si, who sells location cards, the 'Qishen Terrace' can't be entered for any amount of money, and the people who can go to the local area are except for the important officials of the government, that is, the people of the four major families.

Fortunately, this geographical location could not block Gu Tianxing's sight, there was no external object to cover it, and she could clearly see everything that happened on the 'Enlightenment Stage' without even having her divine sense released.

There is a huge stone lotus on the stage, and I think that is where Concubine Xiang is going. The two sides of the countertop are a little farther away, with a shady canopy under which there are tables and chairs, vegetables, fruits, tea, and the like.

It seems that those who can sit on the stage are the real rich officials with family power and background!

Gu Tianxing was envious, and then looked back at his fourth uncle, well, the sun was oily, and his heart suddenly became a lot more balanced.

"After the end of the immortal road, welcome the Xiangfei Niangniang to the Qishen Stage!"

Gu Tianxing was frightened by such a shout, and immediately stopped distracting his attention indiscriminately.

At this time, all the people under the steps knelt down to the ground, and all the people on the steps also bowed.

Gu Tianxing glanced at the stage, hum! Sure enough, those people didn't even move their butts! Seeing the girl in the wedding dress slowly marching, they got up and bowed.

It was another series of "taking the stage, welcoming the god of water, praying for blessings、...... tossing for a long time, Gu Anxia felt that it should be almost over, he was now tired, sunburned and thirsty, and he really regretted coming to join in the fun.

Finally, the middle-aged uncle in brocade said, "Send Concubine Xiang into the Divine Palace!" "Pushed the Hunan God Festival to the climax and the end.

But the girl cried even harder, and even couldn't stand on the lotus platform, struggling to get down! Still shouting, why me?! I don't want it, I don't want to go!

Gu Tianxing complained a little, tossing or something? It's going to be over, isn't it okay? You have to delay your efforts!

Sure enough, the old man in the fancy dress who was sitting in the first place was also a little impatient, and whispered to the guards behind him. After a while, several guards quickly stepped forward and tied the girl to the stone lotus.

The middle-aged man in brocade who sang the lyrics before said loudly again:

"Send Concubine Xiang to the Divine Palace!" After finishing speaking, eight strong men jumped out from the side, lifted Shi Lian and walked towards the river.

"Holy!" Gu Tianxing was frightened, what kind of Xiang concubine Niangniang did she choose, didn't she let the girl go to death? !

No wonder the girl resisted so much and cried like that!

Gu Anxia was obviously aware of the abnormality as well, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he shouted at the stage: "Stop! ”

Before he could say more, he was accused and reprimanded by the spectators next to him:

"Who are you? Dare to disturb the Hunan God Sacrifice! If you provoke the wrath of the water god, can you afford it?! ”

"Humph! Human sacrifice! I don't think it's what the water god wants, it's you who are pretending to be oracles! ”

Gu Anxia was filled with righteous indignation, he didn't believe that there was a god in the world who would be so cruel! After that, he also looked at his niece beside him.

Gu Tianxing looked at his verifying eyes and nodded, this is indeed not what the water god meant, because there are no gods in this river at all!

Gu Anxia seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and his momentum suddenly rose a lot, we can't reason with God, but we can still talk about losing with you mortals?!

We are also the ones who fooled the emperor!

"Everyone who can stand here is thinking that they all have family roots, not ignorant and foolish, and the so-called reason is not clear......

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was dragged by two guards to the platform.
