Chapter 35: The Crazy Tanxiu City (1)

Not only that, the streets and alleys in the city are high-walled and deep, there is no place he can't reach, and there is nothing in the calligraphy and paintings of the Yuanbao antique shop in Qianzhuang that he can't get, even if he takes the silver ticket in his pocket in front of a person, the other party is as if he can't see it. ”

"It's amazing!" I'm so envious, isn't this the unpredictable stealth technique of escaping from the heavens and the earth? There are such gods in the comic books that the second senior brother treasured, after the beauty group went up the mountain, this became the ability that my senior brothers and I were most eager to have, but I didn't expect to meet the real body here.

"What's more, if he gets angry and changes his complexion, everyone around him will be restless, breathing as if he is suffocating, whoever he glares at will be flustered and his legs will be weaker than dead, and whoever he says deserves to die will die. ”

"What a cool death curse!" the girl looked at me and smiled evilly, "It's a bit like your stunt, I wonder if he wants to take it off?"

"The most miraculous thing is that everything he says is very effective. He knew all about which shop was going to close, which couple was going to divorce, which river was going to be built and which day was going to be curfew. Whenever the county exam is held in the city, there are hundreds of candidates, and he can see the results at a glance, and all the people on the list are exactly the same as he said. ”

"Foresight of the future!" the girl and I cried out in unison. According to Abel, this person's ability is far above mine, if he is one of the "Five Strange People", why worry about big things?

"He can't be from the Wisdom Void Country, right?" I cautiously confirmed, sincerely hoping that he was a friend and foe.

Abel's answer was encouraging: "Of course not, I have known him for many years, and this carriage is his." ”

"It's so fateful, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and find him!" the girl couldn't wait, and I was also looking forward to a head-on conversation with this omnipotent superpower.

Under the city of Tanxiu, the clothes were mixed, the carriages and horses were in Khotan, and the dragon-like procession scattered out from the door hole, slowly wriggling, like the tentacles of a giant octopus. Our carriage approached the city gate along one of the tentacles in the middle, and I was dazzled by the thousands of famous horses on both sides, inky black, jujube, red, pale gold, silver and white, all kinds of colors; The owners are very hearty, to them to wear red and green, wear gold and silver, really look like a son and daughter, and inevitably stick a few words in the horse's ear, such as "let go of love and don't run away", "you are my treasure, I have always been proud of you", "sister, you boldly go forward" and so on, chanting and singing, one after another. The horses are also full of spirits, full of emotions, the male is all magnificent, the mothers are looking forward to the autumn water, seeing the intention of the horse is inevitably restless, being ignored by the natural sadness, and those who are forced to go on a blind date before the old love, the neck is entangled, you and I are nong, I can't pull it away, and it touches the heavens and the earth.

Although this strange and spectacular scene is rare to see, I want to get to know the super master in Abel's mouth as soon as possible, and I have no intention of appreciating it. Who knew that the eight divine horses were not at all understanding, and they took care of themselves and walked leisurely, looking left and right, flicking their manes from time to time, wagging their tails, and neighing twice, which caused a group of little mares to turn around and wink their eyes.

Little Ash Chirp was very unimpressed by the arrogant performance of the gods, her little eyes rolled, her little head twisted, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it. And I have seen the first encounter between the beauty group and the senior brother, so I understand very well the mentality of being a "rich and handsome" in the horse, and I have also learned their speed, and I dare not urge more. As a result, the carriage went slower and slower, and it was not far from the city gate that it was already difficult to move an inch.

The streets and alleys in Tanxiu City are vertical and horizontal, the houses are lined up, every household is lit up with lights, and the voices of people are boiling in all directions, a lively scene.

"Is this what you call a blind date for famous horses?" the girl desperately craned her neck and looked out.

Abel was about to answer, when suddenly a large crowd rushed out from the side, rushing forward in a commotion, so crowded that the carriage almost overturned. The gods didn't seem to be surprised, calmly paced a few steps back, got out of the way, and looked coldly at the backs of these people. Abel pulled the carriage to the side of the road, and I pulled the girl to climb to the top of the carriage to see what was blocking the way ahead.

As far as the eye can see, every corner is filled with black heads, and the crowd of people in the alleys of Tun Street stretches from under our feet to a long distance beyond the south gate of Tanxiu City, and we seem to be standing at the entrance of a huge anthill, this formation is dwarfed even by the army of Zhixu Kingdom that we encountered in the Valley of Weeping Stones before. Ash jumped up on my shoulders and raised her little paws to look into the distance, a slight grunt in her throat, which must have been shocking.

A few feet away from us was a small clearing, in the middle of which lay a white horse with its hooves tied. Hundreds of men and women knelt around, all men wearing horse coats and women in uniformly colored cheongsams, burning incense and bowing to the horse, and the sound of prayer was overwhelming, like locusts attacking.

The girl asked Abel curiously, "What are they doing?"

The roof of the carriage was a little crowded, and Abel reached out and quickly jumped on the roof of the tavern next to the carriage, tore a dog's tail grass from the crack in the tile, pointed to the horse, and explained to us: "Pray for blessings, don't you notice, it's a stallion, which is called the horse to (fall) success (male)." ”

I asked, "What blessing?"

Abel put the dog's tail in his mouth and said thoughtfully: "Tomorrow is the big day of the triennial autumn festival, no wonder the horses who participated in the blind date meeting were blocked outside the city gate." ”

The girl was puzzled: "Didn't you just say that horses are more valuable than people?

Abel snorted and said, "A famous horse blind date is at best a horse's lifelong happiness, but the success or failure of this autumn season has pinned the hopes of several generations of the entire family, which one do you say is more important?"

I heard the second senior brother talk about the scientific expedition, and he was a talented man before he went up the mountain. I disagreed: "The exam is taken once every three years, and it won't be so grand." ”

"It's been three years since I got in," Abel picked his teeth with a straw pole, "I don't know how many years have not been admitted, and there are many people who haven't even failed the exam a few times, how many people have been boiled from a teenager to an old boy, and half of their bodies are still fighting after they have been buried in the ground, as for those who have not survived and have died of old age, they will pass on their wishes to the next generation, how can there be a saying? As he spoke, Abel waved his whip and pointed into the distance.

Following the direction of the whip, at the end of the crowd, we saw a lonely mountain. This mountain is not too high, and there are two large pieces in the middle, like a lying cursive "day" character. The slopes on both sides are slender and steep, gathering on the top of a hundred zhang high, as if two arms are clenched into fists, holding a square temple in the air. In the temple, the bell is melodious, the cigarette smoke is ethereal, the flag is dancing lightly, and the golden horizontal plaque on the gate is engraved with the three words "Dengke Temple". The long white steps in front of the temple cascaded like a waterfall, and they were crawling with pious prayers, many of them old men with canes, and many more young men in square scarves and white robes, carrying large and small full baskets, and were crushed like the old men.

I couldn't help but exclaim: "Nature's magic is really wonderful, I have never seen such a unique shape of the mountain in Jiuqu Mountain." ”

Abel smiled faintly: "Hey, what kind of magic is spent on artificial chisels, just the ghost idea of the monks in the temple, it is said that it is to meet the needs of those who pray to God and worship Buddha." ”

I couldn't believe it, "How much effort does this take?

"This mountain is hollowed out left and right, isn't it like two doors? This temple hangs high in the sky, isn't it like the Moon Palace? The fish leaps over the Longmen Toad Palace, what a good meaning, which candidate can still go up without fart? It was originally a nameless hill, but after the transformation, it was called Longmen Mountain. ”

"Then what kind of gods are offered in this temple?"

"The people all over the mountains want to ask for protection, the gods have long been too busy, and they worship a veritable living Bodhisattva. ”

The girl and I both noticed the towering golden statue in the temple wall, which was full of vigor and auspiciousness, so noble>!
