Chapter 132: Dongying's rumors
"Then you're asking the right question." The boatman said proudly.
His ancestors were merchants, and he had traveled to many places and dealt with all kinds of people, so he naturally heard a lot of news.
In addition, it was later changed to a charter boat, and there were many people who came into contact with it, so I really heard a lot of rumors.
"I also heard my grandfather say it once, and I don't know the specific record, I heard that this rumor did not appear in the local area at the beginning, not even the Lantern Festival in honor of the monarch."
He Baobao followed his words and asked, "That's from somewhere else?" ”
Huasang Kingdom is about the same age as the Great Devil, and even the records of such ancient countries are pitiful, even if this place was once the territory of Huasang Kingdom, it is understandable that they do not know.
It's just that there is such a rumor all of a sudden.
"My grandfather once said that one of the ancestors mentioned it in the "Family Records", saying that this rumor was passed down from Dongying along with the Lantern Festival."
Dongying?
The first thing that came to mind in He Baobao's mind was her new teacher Yin Ji'an.
After all, this person has just come from Dongying, and she has often heard about Dongying these days.
He Baobao frowned: "Dongying is far away from here, how can it spread here?" ”
The boatman shook his head unclearly: "I heard that it was passed by several merchants who have been to Dongying, and they once encountered a thunderstorm disaster that is rare in a hundred years when they went to Dongying. ”
"I thought I was going to be buried here, but I was saved by the appearance of the enlightened monarch, and after several people came back from nine deaths, they began to publicize the merits of the monarch and held this lantern festival for them."
He Baobao was incredulous: "In this way, the locals believe it?" ”
"The legend is unbelievable, and then a few bold locals went to try it once, and really saw the monarch's apparition, so everyone believed it."
It doesn't sound strange, but when you think about it, it always feels like everything was designed, and from beginning to end, it seems that it was just to make people believe in the monarch of Huasang Kingdom.
Could this be a pyramid scheme among the ancients? Mind control?
He Baobao was confused.
Dongying is far away from this place, so why go to great lengths just to spread this rumor.
Is it because this was once the territory of the ancient kingdom of Huasan?
Seeing He Baobao meditating hard, the boat family said: "This is just a statement handed down from my ancestors, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
What has been polished by many people is always different from what was said at the beginning.
The boatman suddenly spoke again: "But it should be true, today in the river where the two of you are in the boat, someone saw a lotus flower inexplicably out of the river, and there are faint fairies dancing on the river, that scene is very spectacular." ”
"Many people speculate that Hua Sangjun has appeared, and they have gone to the temple dedicated to him to burn incense and pray for blessings."
A certain fairy silently looked at the culprit who caused this scene, and held back a smile.
"Thank you, boatman, if it's late today, we won't bother."
He Baobao, who knew a rough idea, smiled at him, dragged the big devil beside him, and prepared to go back.
Fortunately, there is a place for people to rest on this shore, otherwise a few people would have stood and chatted for a long time in this night, which was also strange.
"It's okay, we still have a lot of fun here, if you two stay longer, you can walk around."
As he spoke, he stuffed the small lantern in his hand into He Baobao's hand: "Little girl, look at your extraordinary temperament at a young age, you speak clearly, and you are knowledgeable, I will give you this lantern." ”
The little doll looked at the little one, but the words he said were decent, very clever, he ran the boat so far, he had never seen it, and he was very happy.
The boatman was very enthusiastic, He Baobao couldn't refuse, so she had to take it, and she thanked her: "Then thank you to the boatman." ”
Now that he knows the general situation, He Baobao is very interested in the Lantern Festival and wants to go and see it.
"Let's go."
She tugged on the big devil's head, but she didn't move, and looked up suspiciously, but saw him expressionless, turning the ring on his finger.
Yutai lowered his head and glanced at He Baobao, looked at the boatman, and said, "Does the boatman know the name of the Huasang monarch?" ”
"I don't know this, my ancestors didn't mention it, and the people in the town didn't know." The boatman didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question, but after thinking about it, he still answered him.
"You don't know his name, how do you remember him?" You can't do without a name.
The boat family honestly touched his head: "Our people here call him Hua Sangjun, and they also use Hua Sangjun to write a monument and erect a statue for him and build a temple." ”
Hua Sangjun
This name is very flavorful of Dongyingfeng.
The two came to the lively center, He Baobao was so hungry that he bought her two strings of sugar gourds with the big devil.
As a result, as soon as he made a move, it was a gold ingot, and the little brother who sold sugar gourds was stunned.
Looking at the eyes of the platform is like looking at the stupid son of the landlord's family.
It was He Baobao who took out a few copper plates from the small bag that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to him, and the matter was settled.
She said while nibbling on the sugar gourd: "Big devil, you have been in the demon world for a long time and have forgotten the rules of the human world. ”
Carrying a delicate small lantern in her hand, coupled with the red cloak on her body, the whole person looks like a little girl from a famous family, with fine clothes and fine food, raised white and tender.
Tantai also did not deny: "It's true that I haven't been here for a long time." ”
He often stays in the demon world and doesn't want to move, but now the human world has indeed changed a lot.
He Baobao puffed out his cheeks, and his words were not clear: "I am already old, if I don't come out and walk around, my mentality will almost become an old man." ”
The two of them happened to walk to the ancient bridge, and when they heard this, they stopped, and their eyes stared at her: "Are you thinking this is old?" ”
He Baobao was not afraid of him, and muttered: "How many thousands of years have you lived, and it is a fact that you are old." ”
Looking at his increasingly uncertain face, He Baobao still didn't have the courage to say the word "old".
She added: "But you have such a face, so that others can't see it." ”
I just thought that the big devil was a handsome man.
"How dare you say it." Seeing that there was nothing in her mouth, Yutai pinched her cheeks and prevented her from eating the remaining sugar gourd.
"Since I think this seat is old, the deity didn't say this when I saw that you just called this brother."
Tantai was a little displeased, he didn't deny it when he was old, but hearing this from her mouth always made him very uncomfortable.
"That's not forced by circumstances." He Baobao was pinched by him, and he was not annoyed, a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she smiled: "You don't let me call you brother, so what should I call you?" ”
"You don't really want me to call you something else by age, right?!"
She bit the last few words so hard that she couldn't hear the meaning of them.
He hooked his lips and sneered, and threw her head away: "There is no daughter of your age in this seat. ”
"If you really count it, at your age, it is enough for me to be the ancestor of several generations." He Baobao muttered quietly.
A knife flew over, He Baobao laughed, took a step back, but forgot that this was the time when there was a large flow of people, and she retreated to the center of the bridge.
A hawker was pushing a cart of gadgets over, and suddenly he couldn't stop the car.
At the last moment, Yutai lifted her into the air with a big hand, and frowned: "What are you messing with." ”
