Chapter Ninety-Eight: High! It's really high!
Chen Qian stood on the high city tower with his hands behind his back, Han Zigao stood quietly on the side of his shoulder to accompany him, looking at the brightly lit city Chen Qian sighed, where Wang Ze was leading a group of people to clean up a bunch of things that he couldn't understand, Wang Ze was finally about to make a move.
In the short period of more than a day since Wang Ze entered the city yesterday, Chen Qian truly realized for the first time what it means to live like a year, which is much more sad than the time when he was surrounded by Zhang Biao in Xiangyan Temple when he conquered Hou Jingyu the year before.
From last night to today, Chen Qian did not give up his efforts, he had gone out of the city several times to find Hui Hui and many other senior monks, trying to make them give up this action, but these people have been spoiled by Emperor Wu of Liang, all of them think very highly of themselves, and even Chen Baxian was not taken into their eyes, how did a nephew of King Linchuan and Chen Baxian get into the eyes of Hui Hui and others.
After Chen Qian failed to persuade Huihui and other senior monks, she went to find Wang, Xie, Yu and other scholars in Jiankang City, and wanted them to come forward to help mediate and solve the matter, without thinking that Chen Qian's efforts failed again.
Chen Qian, who was angry, returned to the imperial city angrily, if it weren't for Han Zigao's persuasion, he would have been furious.
Although the situation outside the imperial city is tense now, there are many Taoist 'gate' people invited by Chen Duan to hinder the monks outside the city, coupled with the great expectation of Wang Ze's upcoming means, which has finally eased Chen Qian's depression in the past two days.
The sky is gradually darkening, today is the tenth day of the first month of March, it is the sky of the Xuanyue, although a round and a half moon is not as bright as the time (fifteen), but it also adds a lot of light to the bustling Jiankang City.
It's just that the moonlight, which is usually quite bright, looks a little dim under the light of many bonfires inside and outside the imperial city, Chen Qian swears that she has never seen such a lively scene, and the flow of people outside the imperial city is surging, loud, and noisy like a 'tide'.
At this time, Hui Hui was extremely uneasy in his heart, and seeing the influx of many Dao 'door' people, he decided to change his previous plan of expelling Wang Ze. If Chen Qian still closes the city 'gate' like this tonight and doesn't give an answer, then even if there is a civil uprising at night, Wang Ze's life will be lost here.
Just when Hui Huang was full of evil thoughts, the surrounding people exclaimed one by one, "Look! What is flying in the city? Could it really be that the Heavenly Demon came to the world? "The people who were closer to the imperial city suddenly panicked, and the crowd was instantly filled with angry shouts, children's cries, and screams of 'women'.
Hui Xuan looked up at the top of the imperial city wall, and was slightly surprised in his heart, only to see a huge, hideous-looking monster slowly rising, and now the top has risen to more than twenty meters, and the bottom has not yet 'exposed'.
Before the head of this giant beast was completely lifted into the air, a giant beast on each side was 'revealed' from the city wall, although it was slightly different from the head of the giant beast before, and there were also two huge divine beasts raised on both sides.
Although the people outside the city were frightened at first, they calmed down when they saw that it was just a human being, and they pointed and evaluated the giant beast one by one.
"Shhhh What the hell is this! A senior monk said disdainfully, Hui Xuan was also a little dismissive of the giant beast that suddenly appeared in the city, and he really thought that he was the people of the countryside, and he was fooled casually?
Just when the people under the city looked at the three behemoths one by one, suddenly a huge roar of a huge beast came, as if it was a huge sound made by a giant beast in ancient times and came to everyone through time and space, which made many people in the city retreat in fright.
Although Hui Xuan didn't lose his temper just now, his scalp tightened and his eyelids jumped, and he didn't say anything when he saw that many people and monks around him were frightened and fell to the ground.
When I turned around, I saw that as the three monsters rose, a loud voice came from the city: "I don't know how many billions of years ago, the heavens and the earth were in a 'chaotic' ยทยทยทยทยทยท, so Pangu opened up the heavens and the earth and turned into Haotian God!" โ
As soon as Hui Hui saw that the other party actually opened the 'door' of preaching, although he didn't know what to say, he couldn't let the other party get his wish, so he asked his disciples to summon many monks and believers to make them make a loud noise, so as to interfere and make it difficult for the city to preach again.
However, what Hui Xuan didn't expect was that the noise of the monks could not drown out the sound of the city, and at this moment, a huge curtain suddenly hung down from the outermost two giant beasts in the sky.
Immediately after that, a strong light hit the curtain, and the curtain immediately showed the appearance of a hideous demon, with a strange roar, and the sound effect that had never been seen before made a large group of children in the city cry in fright.
At this time, another burly giant appeared on the curtain and fought with the demon before, and the voice on the head of the city began to talk about "Romance of the Gods" with the image on the screen.
This paragraph is about the fragment of the war between the witch clan and the demon clan in the Romance of the Gods, this shadow is to use the pre-made shadow puppet to hit the curtain with a spotlight gas lamp, and then match the voice on the head of the city, so that the people under the city are deeply attracted from hearing to sight.
The book tells the story of the 'Nu'wa who created people, as well as the Suiren clan, Youchao clan and many other sages who led the Chinese ancestors to overcome obstacles and create a glorious Chinese civilization through countless hardships.
Although the Jiankang City in the Southern Chen period was not as prosperous as in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, a large number of citizens had already been formed, and they were direct consumers of the script.
In addition to the "Sou Shen Ji" written by Gan Bao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are not many books at all, and even the book itself belongs to the aristocracy, and the few books in the family are all well-off families, and some legendary books did not appear until the middle and late Tang Dynasty in Chinese history.
Most ordinary people don't even have a book at home, and in this case, there is not even a storyteller in Jiankang City.
The story in front of me has a 'color', so don't talk about these ordinary people who haven't even heard of the story, even the eminent monk Huixuan himself and those eminent monks are attracted by the story, not to mention other ordinary monks and believers.
Hui Hui felt that the city was just telling a story, so he didn't let the monks make any more noise, and he began to hear this story that made him 'quite 'very' interested, but the story said that the Buddha was a disciple of Haotian God transformed by the Taoist Ancestor, which made Hui Hui indignant.
As he listened, he wondered how he would write an article to refute the story when he returned tonight, and then he would learn to write a new myth to promote the Great Cult of Futu.
However, as the plot of the story slowly developed, the more Hui Hui listened to it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and as soon as many people outside the city heard that the two sages of the West had begun to calculate the cultivators of Middle-earth again, they gritted their teeth one by one and glared angrily, eager to beat the voice on the city wall.
But every time they heard that the 'yin' conspiracy of the two sages of the West was discovered, they laughed heartily one by one, and when the story developed to the plot of the War of the Gods, the two sages of the West were said so unbearable in the book that Hui Xuan was furious.
He once again ordered the disciples around him to summon the message and make the monks and believers noisy, but most of the believers in this meeting were already deeply attracted by the plot of the story, and they still cared about making trouble, and the few who were clamoring were quickly stopped by the people around them.
In the eyes of later generations, it was such a monotonous and boring shadow puppet, but it made the people in Jiankang City deeply 'fascinated' at this time.
For Wang Ze's needs, the story performed tonight was 'refined' by those storytellers into three parts, although it was much shorter, but it was more attractive, and it was only now that the second part was told, and the story behind it was still long.
Chen Qian was stunned from the beginning, although Wang Ze's planning and preparation had always been under his nose from the beginning, but Chen Qian had never understood what Wang Ze was going to do.
The story has basically been paved up to this point, and the story continues to develop, and it begins to tell the Western religion thickly: the Western religion, and the white captives (Caucasians) too! It is the same species as the Karma Hu Nai, and the Western Sect congenitally lacks the luck of the West, so it 'Yin' plotted to steal the luck of our Chinese orthodoxy and spread it in the name of Futu.
After more than 100 years of spread in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the suppression of luck by Haotian God (then called Donghuang Taiyi), the inheritance of the two Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years before it was ended.
However, because of the disappearance of Haotian's belief in God, the Western religion finally stole the luck, and the "yin" plot to make the Wuhu enter the Central Plains one after another, and the two emperors of Yongjia's "chaos" were "wronged" so that from then on, China was at peace in the south of the Yangtze River and could not return to the north.
Because the Southern Dynasty has always regarded itself as Chinese orthodoxy since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Crossing, these words can be said to have reached the hearts of the people in the city.
In addition, most of the people in Jiankang City were the Wuhu 'chaos' when the Chinese were in trouble, and their ancestors were forced to move south here, and since they were young, they heard the old people in the family talk about the miserable episodes of the Wuhu 'chaos' in China, so when they heard that the Wuhu and the Western religion were of the same kind and the same sect, ordinary believers began to have doubts about the Futu Sect, and those who usually did not believe in it were even more annoyed by the Futu Sect.
In addition, the previous White Xiongnu, Qianhu, and Bai Xianbei people were all Caucasian, and the Wuhu and most of the 'chaotic' Wuhu were mostly close to the Caucasians, and these people also hurt the people of the Central Plains the most, and the people who knew this period of history were even more annoyed by the Western religion.
The monks of the Futu Sect under the city saw the believers who used to look at them with respect, but now most of them looked at them with strange eyes, and although some hardcore believers did not believe in this, they did not dare to surround the monks tightly.
Some monks saw that the situation was not good, wrapped their heads in cloth and quietly slipped back, Hui Xuan wanted to say something when he saw this situation, but he fainted directly with a colic in his heart.
Chen Qian, Wang Ze and the others in the city naturally didn't notice Hui Hui's situation, but the atmosphere in the city gradually became favorable to them, and they were clear.
Chen Qian stretched out her thumb and said to Wang Ze in admiration: "High! That's high! It's really high! Admire under it! Wang Ze and Chen Duan looked at each other and smiled, the general trend is enough!
It wasn't until the performance on the curtain was over that the leaders of the 'gate' outside the city had already been invited by Chen Qian, Chen Duan and Wang Ze to sit in the city.
And many Taoist priests who stayed outside the city were all holding a thick copy of "Romance of the Gods" at this time, and they all couldn't put it down in their hands, looking at the eager eyes of the people around them, and they didn't know where to put it to be safe.
When the people in the city felt satisfied and ready to go home, suddenly there was a scream on the city, only to see an arrow of light pierce the sky, followed by a crackling sound, and a colorful 'flower' bloomed in the sky.
Immediately after that, dozens of light arrows were 'shot' into the sky, and the multiplying 'flowers' were like brocade, and the middle part of the fireworks 'flowers' formed a huge human shape, as if they were descending gods, and many people knelt down and worshipped.
These fireworks 'flowers' have been studied for a long time by Liu Qing and many other apprentices such as Chen Duan in the past few years, and the research results of the School of Science founded by Wang Ze over the years have added various metal particles to have the current effect.
Feng Fu felt that he had never experienced such a 'fine' plot today, and he said to Wang Ze excitedly: "Big brother, I also want a copy of "Romance of the Gods" to take back to my mother, and I will tell my mother today's story!" โ
Wang Ze looked at the little brother in front of him, and was very moved by his unwavering attitude despite the siege of hundreds of thousands of monks outside the city.
patting Feng Servant on the shoulder, Wang Ze said with a smile: "Not only will I give you a copy of "Romance of the Gods", even the shadow puppet will give you a set, but it is only a much smaller one!" โ
The shadow puppet projected on the screen before was a large shadow puppet made by a special 'door', and it had been performed twice in Jeju Island before, but there were no hot air balloons, so Chen Duan would know what was going on at a glance.
Feng Fu happily took Wang Ze's hand and laughed: "Great, so that I can still let my mother see this moving villain!" โ
Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing also looked at Wang Ze with a smile on their faces, and Zhu Qingqing said: "I knew that Da Lang must have a way!" โ
Chen Qian and many other masters also came to Wang Ze at this time, Chen Qian smiled and stretched out her thumb and said: "Today is really an eye-opener, high, really high!" โ
Dai Mengzhi and several other masters also looked at Wang Ze with surprised eyes, Liu Qing, a famous old immortal in Wudang Mountain, resolutely decided to take the disciples of the 'gate' to join Wang Ze, who was still unknown at that time, which made many 'gates' of the Southern Dynasty suspicious and 'confused'.
In the following years, Liu Qing and others had no news, and these Taoist 'sects' were gradually forgotten, but since last summer, Wang Ze's name quickly spread all over the world, and they also knew that the Haotian God Sect that was spreading rapidly in Sanqi was created by Liu Qing.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ze's father Wang Yong destroyed the Buddha in Sanqi later and was hyped up by the Futu Sect's 'gate', it can be said that Wang Ze's name can be said to be much louder than Wang Yong.
It seems that they will have more contact with Wang Ze in the future, maybe it will also be an opportunity for their own 'sect' to rise, these people still don't know the relationship between Liu Qing and Wang Ze, but they just think that it is the same as the relationship between the court of the Southern Dynasty and the Futu Sect.
Dai Mengzhi said with a smile: "Although only the people surrounding the main 'gate' saw the image tonight, the number of people at the main 'gate' is also the largest, with 70,000 or 80,000 people, plus the people of the other 'gates' behind have flocked to the scene, and more than 100,000 people have heard the story. โ
Nantian Master Daoist Sect Leader Wang Yan said worriedly: "But because of this, we must be more careful of the counterattack of the Futu Sect' 'Gate', you must know that there is no one in the world who does not want them to be faceless, and the tongue can be reversed between the lotus 'flowers', and it is impossible to be careless!" โ
"What you have said is reasonable, but this Futu Sect is not yet in the eyes of my family's monarchs, and I would like to thank you for your solidarity today!" Chen Duan spoke.
Although Chen Duan is younger than these masters, because Liu Qing's seniority is too high, compared to Dai Mengzhi, he still has to call Chen Duan as an uncle, so as soon as Chen Duan opened his mouth, all the masters quieted down.
Looking at all the masters, Chen Duan turned his eyes to Wang Ze: "Xiao Langjun, from today onwards, you must not go out alone, and the two little ladies will also stay by Xiao Langjun's side, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a repeat of the white dragon fish suit!" โ
In the audience, whether it was the head of the sect, Chen Qian, Han Zigao, or even the youngest Feng servant, they all nodded frequently and agreed.
