Chapter 469: Lively
There were too many steps and a dense crowd, and when the five of us climbed Chixia Mountain, we were already tired and half dead, sweating profusely. I couldn't stand it, so at my suggestion, we hurriedly found a place to take a break.
There are more than a dozen small buildings on the Chixia Peak, and it looks like the area is still very large, as if the entire top of the mountain has been flattened.
Not far from us, there are two huge copper tripods, and the incense inserted in the copper tripod is also the kind of incense that is very thick and coarse. As far as I know, this kind of incense is very expensive, and I am afraid that it will cost thousands of dollars for one stick.
And there are three sticks inserted in a copper tripod, which is really burning money.
Walking forward, there was a large open space, and at this time the four sides of the open space were already full of people. What made me feel strange was that in the center of the clearing, it seemed as if there was an acrobatic troupe, there were people pushing the tank, someone putting their hands in the oil pan to put their hands into the boiling oil, and there was a huge shelf.
The shelf was welded with a sharp broadsword, and with the blade of the broadsword facing upward, there was a Taoist priest wearing a Lushan Sect Taoist robe, who was barefoot, climbing up step by step.
This is called Shangdao Mountain.
Also, next to a large flag, more than a dozen tables were stacked on top of each other, and the distance from the top to the bottom was probably as high as several floors. And in the middle of each table, there is no tie or anything like that.
There was a senior brother from the Lushan faction, who was climbing to the top of the table step by step.
From time to time, the tourists around began to applaud, and it was really a big deal to see the excitement. Actually, the arrangement of this stack of tables looks like juggling, and you have to master the balance, but in the Lushan school, there is a name for it, called "Dengyun Tower".
Ascending the Cloud Tower is used to arrange the altar and ascend the "Cloud Tower".
Unexpectedly, it has now become a similar play to acrobatics. It's really in line with modern standards, and I was shocked to see it.
Some breathe fire, others hold their breath in a transparent glass jar.
Wait a minute......
It's so lively all around.
When the senior brother of "Dengyunlou" went up to the top, when the senior brother of "Shangdao Mountain" stepped on the blade to reach the top, and when the senior brother who "got into the oil pot" stretched his flesh into the boiling oil, I saw that my scalp was numb for a while, and I really sweated for them.
The crowd is still pouring in this direction, and the number is unknown.
The five of us were squeezed into a corner and didn't go any further.
"It seems that we can't go to the back mountain for the time being, so let's watch the show here first." Helian said slightly. Originally, we still wanted to go to Houshan as soon as possible, so that we could change into the Taoist robe of the Lushan faction, but now it seems that it is not possible. The main thing is that there are too many people, and I can't get over it for the time being.
I nodded helplessly: "That's all it can be." ”
However, it's still early, so it's okay to see the excitement here.
The pumpkin also bought a lot of skewers from the side, and the five of us started eating them. The little civet in my pocket was also hungry, so I secretly stuffed meat for him to eat when no one was paying attention.
It's just that this little guy eats a bit big, and the pumpkin went to the skewer once, and I went there twice. Of course, there are many stalls selling other things, which are also in full swing, and there are many people buying things.
It seems that the five-year "fighting method" of the Lushan faction has really become a performance, not only the Lushan faction has made a lot of money, but also the hawkers who set up stalls here have made a lot of money.
Think about it, mineral water, which was originally one dollar, can be sold for five yuan, which is five times higher.
The profits are staggering. However, there is no way for tourists, the steps on this side of Chixia Mountain are so high, and if you go up the mountain to watch the performance, you can't bring so much water, so you can only buy it.
Alas, I didn't catch up with this business opportunity, otherwise, wouldn't I be able to make a small profit?
However, to be able to go all the way to the Lushan faction to play, one is to have time, and the other is to have spare money. Therefore, even if it is five yuan for a bottle of water, even if it is a souvenir for dozens of yuan, there are many people who buy it, and even there is an endless stream of them, and the supply exceeds the demand.
About half a pillar of incense had passed, and when I looked at my watch, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly, there was a gong sound from the main hall, and then someone blew the long horn in the shape of a bull's horn.
That horn isn't a bull's horn, but I don't know what it's made of.
In short, the voice is low and long-lasting.
When the originally noisy crowd heard the sound of the horn, it suddenly became a lot quieter.
I looked on my tiptoes and found that the door of the main hall was open, and a large group of Taoist priests from the Lushan Sect walked out of it. The leader walked in the front, wearing the unique Taoist robe of the Lushan faction, and looked colorful. He wore the Dao hat of the Lushan sect on his head.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with an inch-long beard on his chin. He held the bell in his left hand and the bell in his right hand, and his steps were not fast, and he walked slowly forward.
His eyes are full of righteousness and seriousness, and they have a sense of ceremony.
As he walked, the bell in his hand was shaken, and although the sound was not so loud, I could already hear it clearly from a distance. Helian Xiaoxiao next to me whispered to me, this person is the current head of our Lushan faction's main altar, Xuan Zhenzi.
I went, but I didn't expect that this middle-aged uncle was the head of our Lushan faction. It's the first time I've seen him, but I feel like this guy should be good, with a decent face.
Behind Xuan Zhenzi, someone raised a flag. The flags are written with seal characters, among which there is the name of "Sanshan Sect".
I looked over there, and sure enough, I saw my master Ma Hongji and my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou standing behind the banner of the "Three Mountains Sect".
There were also quite a few Taoist priests standing behind the two of them.
Needless to say, those people were all disciples of the Three Mountains Sect. Speaking of which, I haven't officially been to the Three Mountains Sect since I worshipped my master Ma Hongji as my teacher, so I was a little surprised to see that the Three Mountains Sect had so many other disciples besides my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou and me.
However, it is also expected that there will be three people in one sect, so wouldn't it be a scattered sect.
As for the back of the other banners, what Snow Mountain Sect, what Jade Emperor Sect, and Red Lotus Sect Taoist priests are all there, I just don't know any of them. However, those who are in charge of the sect look like they are all immortals, but it is my master Ma Hongji who stands there in vain, like a junior.
But I know that my master Ma Hongji has cultivated a certain Dao method, which can be regarded as a technique for rejuvenating the face, so he will look very young.
In addition to this, a Taoist priest with sharp-beaked monkey gills and a withered yellow face caught my attention.
That Taoist priest stood behind the banner of the "Jade Emperor Sect", needless to say, he must be the head of the Jade Emperor Sect. But this man's health does not seem to be very good, and when he walks, one sleeve is always covering his mouth and nose, and he looks as if he is suffering from a serious disease.
This person is Zhu Shisan, the head of the Jade Emperor Sect.
Huo Yu approached me and pointed to the people behind the banner of the "Snow Mountain Sect", including his master.
His master, and the head of the Jade Emperor Sect, Zhu Shisan, is still different, he is thin, he, his face is full of fat, and he has a big belly.
It seems that the food of the "Snow Mountain Sect" should be good. However, this is why the head of the Snow Mountain Sect is so fat, and the other disciples are relatively normal. It may not be said that the good things of the Snow Mountain Sect have been eaten by this master.
The head of their Snow Mountain Sect is called Yellow Crane Zhenren.
The branch sects under the Lushan Sect, several of them still have their own characteristics. Sanshan Sect, my master Ma Hongji has a good face, and he looks young, like a humble gentleman.
Zhu Shisan, the head of the Jade Emperor Sect, has sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and his eyes are dark, as if he is terminally ill. The head of the Snow Mountain Sect, Huang He, is a real person, with a fairy wind and bones, and his stomach is upright, and it may be full of fat. The head of the Red Lotus Sect, Weng Shun, had a dark and thin face, but his eyes were shrewd and capable.
There is another sect that has to be mentioned, that is, Sun Hongling, the head of the "Golden Flower Sect". Speaking of the Golden Flower Sect, the most eye-catching thing is not the head of the sect, but the disciples of the Golden Flower Sect.
The Golden Flower Sect is different from other branch sects of the Lushan Sect, and the people in their sect are all female disciples and female Taoists.
The male Taoist priests of the Lushan Sect are generally black Taoist scarves, while the female Taoist priests of the Jinhua Sect are all red Taoist scarves, which is a contrast.
And if you add to this, the fact that the Golden Flower Sect is full of female Taoists is particularly eye-catching.
Generally speaking, people are particularly curious about the female Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. In particular, there are some young female Taoist priests in the Golden Flower Sect who look white and beautiful, which can arouse the flames in men's hearts even more and give people a sense of pity.
I have to say that this time, the female Taoist priests of the Golden Flower Sect who came to participate in the fighting on the side of the Lushan Sect's main altar are really young. Among them, there is a female Taoist priest with smart eyes, charming facial features, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth when she walks.
Even if I already have Zitong, I still can't stop looking at it a few more times.
Seeing me staring at the female Taoist priest on the side of the Golden Flower Sect, Huo Yu smiled.
He approached me and whispered, "Brother Qin, are you taking a fancy to the Daoist aunt of the Golden Flower Sect?" ... Hehe, your vision is really good, the best-looking Dao Gu, whose name is Li Yan'er, is the most beautiful girl in the Golden Flower Sect. ”
"To be honest, our Lushan Party is not so strict in managing the affairs of men and women, and that Li Yan'er is also a lay disciple who has joined the Golden Flower Sect for more than five years. If you like it, you have to do it early, otherwise, many juniors and disciples of other branch sects will be eyeing and worrying. ”
"It's a pity that Li Yan'er is already twenty-three years old, but she has been staying in the Taoist temple of the Golden Flower Sect, and she doesn't seem to be very interested in men. It is estimated that the head of the Golden Flower Sect is too strict, and that Sun Hongling is said to have joined the Golden Flower Sect because of the death of her husband, and later became the head of the Golden Flower Sect. ”
"It may be that he is prejudiced against men, and that Sun Hongling and Sun Zhangjiao are not easy to provoke. As far as I know, there are disciples of other branches of the Lushan Sect, because they love that Li Yan'er, they secretly entered the Taoist temple of the Golden Flower Sect, but they were discovered. ”
"In the end, the man was beaten to the point where he almost didn't die. It can be seen that the temper of the Golden Flower Sect Sun Zhangjiao is not very good, otherwise, there would have been a handsome senior brother and younger brother who chased that Li Yan'er, but unfortunately, Li Yan'er's flower bloomed in the boudoir but no one dared to hear it. ”
Speaking of this, Huo Yu looked regretful, and it seemed that he was also very interested in that Li Yan'er.
This Li Yan'er is indeed good-looking, but after listening to Huo Yu's words, I am also speechless.
When I looked at Sun Hongling, the head of the Golden Flower Sect, I couldn't help but think of a person, "Extermination Master". However, this Sun Hongling is much better looking than the exterminator.
Sun Hongling and Sun Zhangjiao followed behind the banner of the "Golden Flower Sect", and he looked like he was in his forties, but he still had charm. Just say yes, her eyebrows furrow slightly, giving a strong sense of distance.
