Chapter 174: The True Face of the Heavenly Treasure
"Cheng Yan!"
Cheng Qi shuttled through the crowded crowd, his face was red with excitement, although he didn't wear a lot, but after running and jumping like this all morning, there was a hot sweat on his neck, and he beckoned: "Cheng Yan!" This way! β
Cheng Yan's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that after going to the street, as soon as he let go, Cheng Qi disappeared into the crowd like a wild horse, her small figure was very convenient, but Brother Yang couldn't catch up at all.
"Cheng Qi! Stop! β
Cheng Yan scolded angrily, forcefully pushed away the crowd in front of him, and 'swam' towards Cheng Qi's location.
Chinese New Year's Eve was lively, the streets were full of laughter, buying and selling, Cheng Yan's voice was drowned in the tide in a flash, where could Cheng Qi hear, but he saw something strange and squeezed through.
"Cheng Yan! There's a candy seller here! β
Cheng Qi didn't have any money with him, and he was so anxious that the hot syrup in the bucket next to the vendor was about to run out, for fear that Cheng Yan would come over and fill it up, and the last spoonful of syrup would be used up.
"Does the girl want it?"
The vendor looked at Cheng Qi handsomely, and naturally smiled and interrupted: "Then I'll give the girl one." β
"Is that okay?"
As soon as he heard that it was free, Cheng Qi's eyes lit up, and he was squeezed to take a few steps forward, only one step away from the vendor, clasped his hands on his chest, and said with a smile: "If you give it away for nothing, won't you do business?" β
"Business is good on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I also prepared two barrels."
The vendor smiled: "I also want to go home and celebrate the New Year with my father and mother early, so this last spoonful will be given to the girl, I don't know what the girl likes?" β
"I like..."
Cheng Qi thought about it and smiled indifferently: "I like spring flowers." β
"Okay." The peddler shook the spoonful of syrup, and drew it neatly on the board, his wrist was flexible, the spoon did not look light, and after a few back and forth, a beautiful spring flower appeared on the board.
It was cold in winter, and the sugar painting of the spring flowers was quickly frozen, and the vendor picked up the thin bamboo stick, carefully handed it to Cheng Qi, and said with a smile: "Girl, take it, it's the sweetest that has just been dried." β
Cheng Qi took it happily, opened her mouth and bit the petal on the edge, the syrup melted in her mouth, her brows furrowed, and she stomped on her somewhat frozen feet.
"Girl."
The peddler was happy to see her, and his mood was much better, and he had never seen such a cheerful girl: "This syrup is sweet, look at you and jump deliciously." β
Cheng Qi also laughed a few times, and just as she was talking happily with the hawker, she only felt that a shadow next to her had moved, causing the vendors on the other side to laugh stiffly.
Cheng Yan looked at the two of them talking and laughing, his face became more and more bad, and he directly snatched the sugar painting in Cheng Qi's hand, raised it and said, "This kind of thing is bad for eating." β
The hawker is not happy, if you don't eat, you won't eat, and if you are embarrassed, you won't pay attention to it.
"Give me something."
Cheng Qi also turned pale.
Cheng Yan squinted at her, and after a few seconds, seeing that the man was not left behind, he had to draw the candy to her, and then took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the vendor very generously.
"This ......"
The vendor looked at the small piece of broken silver, which was more than he had earned in half a month, and was stunned, and handed the silver forward to Cheng Yan: "It doesn't need so much, one piece is enough." β
"Keep it."
Cheng Yan didn't care about this, and pulled Cheng Qi to go out.
The peddler looked at the backs of the two people, wiped the nervous sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart What is the situation of that young man, who came over like a dense cloud, why is he still so unhappy during the New Year.
That's it, just make money.
β¦
β¦
Cheng Yan took Cheng Qi to the Hai Temple, where Haikang people like to visit during the New Year and festivals, and made a few wishes to the Hai Granny who was enshrined there that no one knew, and then walked out along the official road.
Passing by the Shili Pavilion one after another, Cheng Qi hummed a song that he didn't know and said, "Where are we going now?" β
Cheng Yan was a little tired after being walked like this by her for a morning, and said directly: "Go back to the inn." β
"Ahh
Cheng Qi pulled a long voice very reluctantly, but after running like this all morning, his feet hurt a little, so he took a few steps to keep up with Cheng Yan's pace, and nodded: "Okay then." β
"That's right."
After the morning lesson, Cheng Qi leaned over and said, "I'll go back and pass by the market in a while, let's buy some delicious food and go back, save it... A chicken leg has to be grabbed by two people. β
The corners of Cheng Yan's mouth hooked slightly, but he didn't speak.
Cheng Qi stretched her waist, the winter at noon was still quite comfortable, especially Haikang standing near Xiping, which was warmer than the average place, she yawned again and said, "Cheng Yan, let..."
"Boomβ"
Before he finished speaking, a rolling thunderbolt slammed overhead, like a god beating a drum!
"I'll go!"
Cheng Qi subconsciously hugged his head, bowed his body at the same time, turned his head to look at Cheng Yan, looked up at the sky with thick clouds at some point, frowned, and said, "Damn, is it going to rain again?" β
Cheng Yan also looked serious and said impatiently: "What's the matter." He looked at the Shili Pavilion not far away, "There's no way, let's go there and hide for a while, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving." β
Cheng Qi nodded, and trotted over with Cheng Yan, but it was a coincidence, as soon as the two of them entered the Shili Pavilion, the torrential rain poured down, as if it was pouring soybeans, crackling and smoking.
"It's raining in winter."
Cheng Qi patted her cheek, for this rare natural weather phenomenon, she had to helplessly amuse her and said, "Why don't you see snow in summer?" β
Cheng Yan gave her a look of contempt, and then said, "Is it cold?" β
Cheng Qi looked at his dark cloak, which looked very warm.
"Cold." She looked at Cheng Yan with a smile, "It's a little cold." β
Cheng Yan glanced at her, reached out to untie the knot of the cloak, and halfway through the untie, just when Cheng Qi thought he would give the cloak to himself, the man stopped his movements and tied the knot again.
"Huh?"
Cheng Qi glared,
Cheng Yan straightened his chest, and deliberately tightened the cloak: "It's a little cold, you can bear with it." β
Cheng Qiqi's teeth.
"You..."
β¦
β¦
In the evening, Cheng Qi brought the two bowls of dumplings sent by Xiaoqin, because the edge of the bowl was a little hot, she hurriedly went upstairs but grinned in pain, and when she arrived at the door of the wing, the bowl was taken by one person.
Cheng Yan went into the house and put down the dumplings and asked, "What kind of stuffing?" β
"I don't know."
Cheng Qi sat down with high interest, picked up the chopsticks and gestured twice: "You'll know if you eat it." With that, he picked up one and blew it into his mouth, and Xiang's whole face wrinkled into a bun.
"It's delicious."
She said vaguely: "It seems to be pork and cabbage." β
Cheng Yan sneered twice, sat down and ate very elegantly, the dumplings that had just come out of the pot were eaten, the whole person's limbs were warm, and the feeling of fullness would make people feel happy.
Not long after, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the window, Cheng Qi ate the last dumpling, ran to the Xuan window excitedly, leaned over and looked, stretched out his finger: "What a long firecracker!" β
Cheng Yan turned his head to look at her, the man's thin body stretched out, his pretty side face was hidden in the warm color, and the bright moonlight soaked in his eyes, in addition to joy, he was still happy.
"It's so lively."
Cheng Qi smiled.
Cheng Yan looked at it, and unconsciously smiled, he picked up a dumpling again, and ate it very satisfied, so that the Chinese New Year's Eve of the two people is still very good.
β¦
β¦
After three days of hurrying, and finally returned to the Guogong Mansion on the fourth day, the family was worried for a while, Gu looked at the injuries on Cheng Qi and Cheng Yan, and wiped tears in distress.
"Mother, it's okay, didn't Cheng Yan and I come back safely?"
Cheng Qi held her hand and comforted her quietly.
Gu sighed tiredly, and glanced at Aunt Meng next to him, although the person was also extremely worried, he didn't make a crying appearance in the end, causing chaos for the two children.
"You said yes."
Aunt Meng said helplessly: "Why do you have such a thing." β
Cheng Lan was sitting next to him, he had been exhausted these days, his body had become much worse, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yan who was eating snacks next to him, and said in a low voice: "Good and decent, how can there be a palace change?" β
Cheng Dai handed Cheng Yan a cup of tea and asked, "That Thousand Machine Army was cultivated by the emperor, and Tang Yao is the emperor's henchman, how could he rebel?" β
Although Cheng Yan knew the truth, there were so many people at the moment, he couldn't say it directly, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the royal princes, just in Xipingbao's family, it was enough.
The river that is competing for storage is too mixed, so it's best not to go down easily.
"It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know your heart."
Cheng Yan drank tea and said lightly: "It is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows what happened between the emperor and Tang Yao." β
Cheng Dai frowned slightly and did not respond.
"But anyway." Cheng Lan didn't think too much about it, "It's a blessing that you and Xiaoqi can come back safely." β
"Grandma."
Cheng Shu, who was sitting next to Cheng Qi, suddenly asked carefully, "That Duan Guifei didn't embarrass you, right?" β
Because of the gold bracelet, Cheng Qi felt strange in his heart when he saw Cheng Shu now, the gold bracelet that Han Yi used to hide the poison was exactly the same as Cheng Shu's.
If Duan Guifei wanted Han Yi to kill herself, then what happened to Cheng Shu?
"Nope."
Cheng Qi lied for some reason, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Duan Guifei didn't summon me. β
Cheng Shu's dark brown pupils fluttered imperceptibly, and she responded softly.
β¦

Because of the strange rain on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiping Thorn Shige Envoy Jun and the Cheng family's Yuxing Fish Xing, in order to pray for heavenly blessings, released 30,000 fish fry in the upper reaches of Suishui, the rain melted the ice, presumably they could survive.
And the people went to the Pumiao to worship the 'heavenly treasures' enshrined there.
In her opinion, whether it is 'the mountains are edgeless, the rivers are exhausted, the thunder and earthquakes in winter, the rain and snow in summer, and the heaven and earth are combined', these are the reactions of nature, and they have nothing to do with superstition, and they have nothing to do with the 'heavenly treasures' enshrined in the Pu Temple.
Looking at the rest of the people in the car mysteriously discussing, she was amused and helpless.
"I said, what the hell is that Tiantong Dibao?" Cheng Qi took advantage of the fact that they were tired and rested, so he silently expressed his opinion, "Are you so spirited?" Worship that thing, and the weather will return to normal? β
When Aunt Meng heard this, she immediately glared and patted her hand, and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense." β
Cheng Yan on the opposite side crossed his arms and sneered.
Cheng Qi frowned and rubbed the back of his hand that was reddened, and said aggrievedly: "Why did you beat me?" β
Gu Shi smiled lightly: "This can't be nonsense. β
Because Qingdai's body was exposed, there was something unruly in the end, so now when he travels, Cheng Qi is followed by Qingmiao, the child is not big, and his nerves are quite big.
"Girl." Qing Miao looked up at her, "This heavenly treasure is very spiritual, don't believe it." β
"Where has it rained in winter since ancient times?" Sister-in-law Zhang continued her daughter's words and said, "It must be that we offended some passing immortal to let this head and foot come down, let's worship the treasure of heaven and earth, show sincerity, the fairy has made enough trouble, and left." β
Cheng Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he couldn't help but retort: "Trouble? More than two years of fuss? β
Aunt Meng snorted, glared at her and said, "One day in the sky, one year on earth." β
"Ahh
Cheng Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's really a naughty fairy." β
β¦
β¦
When he arrived at Pumiao, Cheng Qi deeply understood what it means to be crowded with people, and today seems to be more lively than the usual New Year's Festival, if it weren't for the servants who opened the way, I don't know where to be scattered.
However, their Cheng family has such a unique identity in Xiping, there will naturally be arrangements in the temple, and there are little monks leading them into the temple, and a room of people knelt down after being signaled by the little monks.
Cheng Yan was next to her, because there were too many people in the temple, the futon used to kneel was not fully prepared, he looked at the moment when Cheng Qi knelt down, threw the hem of his clothes over, and padded her under his knees.
Cheng Qi was stunned, the ground was cold, which saved a lot of pain.
"Thank you."
She lowered her head and said, but Cheng Yan was cold and ignored her, but Aunt Meng next to her saw it, and she should have been happy to see Cheng Yan taking such care of Cheng Qi, but now it seems that it is a little awkward.
It's too... It's all about it.
"Have you ever seen that Tiantong Dibao?"
Cheng Qi asked Cheng Yan.
"Nope." The man shook his head, "Don't ask, the temple will clear that thing out in a while." β
Cheng Qi sighed.
"The Beginningβ"
A little monk next to him said with his hands folded, and after he finished speaking, he began to lower his eyes and mumble the scriptures, and at the same time, all the people in the temple leaned down and read the scriptures like the little monk.
Cheng Qi naturally didn't know what to read, or what they were reading, but she always had to pretend to be one, so she also lay on the ground, and two ants happened to appear in front of her, which attracted her attention.
"Cheng Yan, look." She gently touched the person next to her with her arm, "There are ants, and there are ants in winter." β
Cheng Yan glanced over, a little speechless about her childishness, but still patiently explained her doubts: "It should be the rain a few days ago that poured them all out, you be careful that it climbs into your sleeve." β
After hearing this, Cheng Qi quickly raised his hand.
"Shhhh
Cheng Yan's body trembled suddenly, and then closed his eyes in pain, Cheng Qi looked at it puzzled, but his waist was also twisted fiercely, and he didn't dare to look back, knowing that it was Aunt Meng's hand.
Except for her, who can pinch someone so much.
"You two."
Aunt Meng said behind them: "All recite the scriptures to the old lady, there is still Qiubai in the second room and the third room, and they are all going to release the third batch of fish fry with Ge Yuanjun, this matter is the face of our Cheng family, today I came to worship this heavenly treasure, you two are still in the long room, you have to be more serious, in order to be praised casually." β
This person is thick and fine, Cheng Qi felt that it made sense, and quickly chattered decently.
Cheng Yan listened carefully beside him, and his face became darker and darker the more he listened.
I only heard Cheng Qi keep muttering: "I planted a seed, and finally grew fruit, today is a great day, pick the stars and give them to you, drag down the moon and give them to you, let the sun rise for you every day." β
"What are you talking nonsense?" Cheng Yan reprimanded.
Cheng Qi turned a deaf ear and continued to immerse himself in pious prayer: "Turn into a candle and burn yourself just to illuminate you, dedicate everything I have to you as long as you are happy, you make me make every tomorrow meaningful, although life is short, I will never give up on you, you are my little apple, no matter how much I love you, my red little face warms my heart, lights up the fire of my life, fire and fire." β
Cheng Yan was on fire on the side, what kind of sand sculpture is this.
'When-'
Just when Cheng Qi was in the mood for a thought, the outside of the temple was suddenly pierced by a bell, she raised her head for some reason, but was pressed back hard by Aunt Meng, and pinched it again by the way.
"Don't move, you're going to ask for a treasure."
Cheng Qi was curious when she heard this, and she wanted to see what the magical heavenly and earthly treasure in everyone's mouth was, so she moved uneasily, listening to the footsteps of the prison temple getting closer and closer, she raised her head slightly.
The fat temple was dressed in monk's robes, and carried a wooden plate in his hand, on which was an object, which seemed to be only the size of a fist, and was covered with silk made of hundred cloths, and it was impossible to see the inside.
Cheng Qi smacked his lips helplessly, he still can't see it.
"Kipo-"
The little monk next to him raised his voice.
Cheng Qi's eyes lit up, is he going to lift the silk?
Sure enough, the temple put the wooden plate on the small table in front of the Buddha shrine, and solemnly said: "Donors, thank you for braving the wind and snow to come today. β
"Amitabhaβ"
The room full of people chanted in unison, and Cheng Qi quickly lowered his head: "Amitabha." β
The supervisor looked at it again, and then lifted the silk cloth on the treasure, but his movements were too subtle, so Cheng Qi didn't hear it, so he thought that he hadn't lifted it, so he cautiously didn't look up.
βlinglinglinglinglingβββ
And about a minute or two later, a familiar music suddenly sounded in the temple, it was...... Christmas ...... The bells jingle off.
What's going on?
Cheng Qi raised his head suspiciously, but when he saw the so-called heavenly treasure, his face was full of tears and laughter.
In my mind, I recalled Cheng Lan's description of the treasure.
ββThis heavenly treasure is a divine object from heaven, which can rotate the four seasons, and every summer will appear the sound of heaven to keep one side safe, since that thing has descended to Xiping, these decades have been smooth and spiritual.
I see.
Cheng Qi's mouth was almost closed in surprise, she didn't expect that she would die that this was worshiped by the Xiping people as a sacred object for so many years, and the so-called heavenly and earthly treasures turned out to be ...... Christmas-themed musical crystal ball.
The reason why the music is playing is because ...... It's solar, and the solar panels aren't very big, so they only sound a minute or two later when they come out into the sun, or because of winter.
It can still be used for so many years, which is enough to see how well the monks of this temple have preserved it.
Cheng Qi swallowed slightly, she didn't know how to describe her current mood, but now she has a word to describe her current IQ, that is, stupid, stupid.
Cheng Qi felt as if someone had grabbed her brain and dipped it in foam water to brush her shoes.
It's really.
The ignorant are fearless.
is so energetic to worship a crystal ball, and the group of fools behind her can do it, but what makes her hold back the most internal injuries is her...... Can't say yet.
Because she said it, these people don't understand it, and they will say that they don't respect gods.
"Cheng Yan ......"
Cheng Qi gently touched Cheng Yan again and reminded, "Look at that thing." β
The current situation is that Cheng Qi can be at least 60% sure that Cheng Yan is a time-traveler from modern times like himself, so Cheng Yan will definitely be able to recognize this crystal ball.
Sure enough, after the man saw the thing clearly, he was also shocked, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Cheng Qi stared at his expression without blinking.
"This..."
Cheng Yan also seemed to be shocked, turned his head to look at Cheng Qi, and opened his mouth: "This is ......"
"Christmas-themed crystal ball."
Cheng Qi said in a mosquito voice.
Cheng Yan took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down from the shock, but to be honest, the impact of this fact was too great, it was like a person who had lost his sense of taste and had eaten chocolate ice cream for many years, only to find out later that he had actually been eating.
"These fools." Cheng Yan couldn't help but complain.
Cheng Qi looked at his reaction and knew that Cheng Yan was definitely a modern person, but Cheng Yan didn't say it, she still didn't debunk it, but just echoed and said: "After worshipping for so many years, I actually ...... I don't know which manufacturer produces the crystal ball, damn the quality is too good. β
Cheng Yan glanced at the crystal ball a few more times, pursed his lips, turned his head and looked at Cheng Qi, for some reason, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were a little tense in this extremely absurd situation.
And Aunt Meng in the back saw them looking up, and quickly frowned and reminded: "Give it all to me..."
"Poofβ"
Cheng Qi couldn't help it, and a suffocated laugh erupted.
Hearing this, the temple watched, and there was a slight commotion in the crowd.
But Cheng Qi was really poked and laughed, looking at Cheng Yan, the person also twitched the corners of his mouth, looking like he was enduring a lot of hardship, and finally, both of them couldn't hold on anymore and laughed heartily.
"Hahahahaha-"
