Chapter 68: Hearing prophecies during the banquet
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Biao listened, shook his head and said: "Thank you two for your good intentions, but people are so annoying, I don't like to join in the fun, so forget it." ”
Yu Ziqing was slightly flustered, a little surprised.
He thought that Zhang Biao had resigned from his official errand and dug a secret room privately, preparing to eat the bowl of rice in the rivers and lakes.
is mixed in the rivers and lakes, how can you miss the human exchange.
Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, this banquet is not so simple, it has something to do with yesterday's emperor list. ”
"Just one day after the emperor list came out, there were many strange people and strange people, according to the grapevine, the powerful people in the city were also recruiting in private, plus some time ago, strange things continued to happen in various states, how could the rivers and lakes be so peaceful..."
Zhang Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "In this case, then let's go and join in the fun, please wait a moment." ”
With that, he turned around and went back to change his clothes.
Yu Yang and the two looked at each other and smiled, relieved.
They came to invite each other, and the purpose was not simple.
Although Zhang Biao left the six doors, the reputation of the soul hooker was there, and he was also the number one person in the rivers and lakes of the capital.
The two of them are just minions of heaven and earth, if Zhang Biao can be invited, they will not be looked down upon at the banquet.
Soon, Zhang Biao changed into a robe, put on a black green open coat outside, and strode out.
Yu Ziqing praised: "Brother Zhang's dress is really extraordinary, do you really want to serve the Tao?" ”
The coat is a common wear for Taoist priests, and it is also very popular among rich and noble families.
But thinking of Zhang Biao's plan to build a Taoist temple, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.
Zhang Biao said with a smile: "I have a heart for the Tao, but I can't get rid of the red dust, and it's not bad to be a fire dweller." ”
During the chat, the three of them left An Zhenfang.
……
Anzhen Fang is mostly civilians, and there is no temple fair in the workshop, and the people have already left, so it is very quiet.
But as soon as I left the door, the noise came to my face.
Mules and horses neighed in the streets, and the flow of people was surging.
The people in the vicinity have changed into new clothes, bringing the old and the young, and marching towards the Fang Market or the West Market where there is a temple fair......
The vendor who picked up the goods missed the hour, shouting loudly for pedestrians to get out of the way, and he was so anxious that he was sweating...
This is still a small road, and Zhengyang Street at this time is afraid that it has already been crowded.
Yu Ziqing said with a smile: "I heard that there is a social fire in the West Market, and the silver reward in the palace has been tripled, so it is even more lively than in previous years." ”
Yang Xiao shook his head and said: "What's the point of view, in Changchun today, the rivers and lakes are full of heroes, and the famous sects have arrived, and they can't help but have a discussion during the banquet, that's interesting..."
During the chat, several people had squeezed out of the alley.
"Brother Zhang."
A shout interrupted Zhang Biao's thoughts.
He turned his head and saw that it was Wang Guanshan, the son of Wang Zhutou, and his brother-in-law Zhou Xun had changed into brand new Confucian robes and rode horses to follow the flow of people.
Zhang Biao smiled slightly and wanted to say hello, but the two of them were full of eagerness, just nodded, and left in a hurry.
"Is it Brother Zhang's acquaintance?"
Yu Ziqing said with a smile: "Look at their direction, they are going to Fanglin Garden, today King Yue is holding a garden poetry meeting over there, inviting talents from Beijing, and most of them are also invited." ”
After that, it seems that he thinks of the past, and his eyes are gloomy.
Zhang Biao also frowned slightly.
When Wang Zhutou was alive, he strictly forbade Wang Guanshan to make friends with the prince, and he couldn't think that the bones were cold, so the other party couldn't wait to climb it.
Yang Xiao couldn't wait to urge: "Hurry up, two, if you miss the hour, all the good seats will be occupied by the family..."
……
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, picking places with few people, and even so, it took more than half an hour to come to Jing'anfang.
Here, again.
There are also a lot of pedestrians, but looking at the clothes and talking, most of them are people in the rivers and lakes, and some people bow their hands from time to time.
"Master Liu, fortunately..."
"But Lord Li Xiang of the Heavenly King Society..."
Outside the Changchun Temple, there were already more than a dozen young Taoists lined up in two columns, all carrying long swords and full of spirit.
There is also a middle-aged Taoist who greets guests at the door, with a kind face, and can say a few words to anyone.
Yang Xiao introduced in a low voice: "That is Senior Uncle Qingyuan, the person who shocked the door, and now the Elder Si Li. ”
After that, there was a slight color in his eyes, "Originally, Elder Si Li was Cui Daoye, and his old man is now a celebrity in the door, so I am waiting for him to run errands." If not, how can you enter the door to the feast..."
Zhang Biao was a little strange in his eyes, but he didn't ask much.
"I've seen Uncle Qingyuan."
When he came to the door, Yang Xiao hurriedly lowered his head and said with a flattering face: "This is the guest we invited..."
"The name of the soul hooker, the old man naturally knows."
Qingyuan Daoist stroked his beard and smiled: "Brother Zhang, come in, you two, take care of the guests." ”
It's polite, but it's not important.
Zhang Biao didn't care, arched his hand, and followed Yu and Yang into Changchun Temple.
Today's view of Changchun is no longer hidden.
The huge flags of the Heaven and Earth Gate are hung high, and the rows of Eight Immortal Tables are covered with red cloth, neatly arranged. Not only are the courtyards already full, but even some of the ashrams are used to entertain guests.
People in the rivers and lakes like to join in the fun, but whenever there is something, they call friends and friends, for the sake of fame and profit, and the most poor can also be mixed with stuttering, and they fight tooth sacrifices......
There are also clear hierarchies in the rivers and lakes, and they have their own set of rules to talk about seniority.
The people sitting in the courtyard are all small leaders of various forces, or small families from outside.
As for those sect leaders, famous people in the rivers and lakes, naturally someone specially led the way and brought them into the spacious hall.
They found a seat in the corner of the wall, and the left and right were already full of people, or shouting and laughing, or scolding and showing off their might, all of them were at the bottom of the rivers and lakes.
There is no way, Yang Hao's face is limited to this.
Zhang Biao didn't care, he smiled and drank with a wine glass, but actually listened to the gossip of the people around him.
"Have you heard, there was another person outside Dunyi Fang last night, it seems to be a Hu monk of the Huoluo Sect."
"Those guys are very rich, and they rarely make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, who did it?"
"Who knows..."
"Brother Hua, why are you sad?"
"I lost the goods on the road, I lost a lot of money, and the people who arranged the education did not promise to compensate."
"Okay, don't you follow the rules?"
"I heard that something strange happened on the river, and after the thick fog at night, everyone died, and the Pai Jiao also suffered heavy losses..."
"Speaking of which, I also heard a news that there is a small Taoist temple on the side of Moyun Cliff, which was destroyed overnight, and it was also a fire thunderbolt, and someone saw Gu Qiu appear nearby."
"Hehe, the foundation of the Yichong Society for decades has been ruined, and he is afraid that he will not dare to return to the capital..."
Listening to the chatter of the people around him, Zhang Biao was thoughtful.
With the revival of the aura, strange things have emerged in an endless stream in various places, and most of them are related to the spirit world.
There is no way, the spirit world is different from this world.
The aura of the present world is gone, but the spiritual passage cannot be opened, but the hidden things inside are constantly accumulating.
Whether it is "fine" or "strange", it is just formed at the moment, and it is not very harmful, not to mention the "demon" who pays attention to the way of change.
So the first thing to do is these things.
As for the hazards, there is no need to worry about them for the time being.
To practice and cast spells, many materials have to be obtained from the trick, just like the "charm remnant" in his hand.
Even if it is for cultivation, you have to kill demons and eliminate demons.
It's just those sects,
Why don't you go out of the mountain yet?
At this moment, several people walked in outside the door, both male and female Buddhism, and each of them had extraordinary bearings.
"President Lu, long time no see!"
"President Wang, Liu Cheng in the next Liu family!"
“……”
The people around them got up and said hello.
These are the famous incense club presidents in the capital.
The Yichong Society was destroyed, and it was the time when they were fighting for territory, but these people all looked solemn, just arched their hands, and went to the backyard under the leadership of the Qingyuan Daoist.
What happened...
Zhang Biao noticed that something was wrong, pretended to be too drunk to lie on the table, and secretly held the black cat jade pendant.
"Giggle..."
The sound of the spell was muffled by the sound of fists around him, and even if anyone heard it, they thought he was vomiting.
On the roof, a black cat suddenly appeared, jumping three times and two times, heading towards the backyard.
"Moon Shadow" appeared during the day, obviously restrained, a little languishing, and unable to perform stealth tricks.
Fortunately, Changchun Temple is noisy at this time, and even if someone sees it, they won't care about a cat.
The moon shadow was silent, and soon came to the rear hall, and drilled into the beams along the eaves and arches, hiding in the dark, and his spirit improved a lot.
In the main hall, many people have gathered at this moment.
The atmosphere was a bit dreary.
"I'm sure you've all heard about it..."
On the first seat, Chang Gengdaoren, the master of the Heaven and Earth Gate, spoke: "Two days ago, a piece of news came out of the palace, and there will be a heavy fog after the year, which will last for several years. ”
An old man in a Confucian robe below said coldly: "A little prophecy, I don't know if it's true or not, it makes people panic, it's just a joke!" ”
"What if it's true?"
Another one-eyed man took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice: "Not long after this news appeared, the imperial court issued a list to summon strange people, and really found a lot of people, who had heard of these strange people before?" ”
"If there is really a fog next year and it will last for several years, then this Great Liang Dynasty is afraid that it will run out of gas..."
I see!
Zhang Biao outside suddenly realized.
He practiced alone, and he didn't expect this to happen.
No wonder those sects are still hiding.
If the fog arrives as scheduled, land and water transportation will be blocked, and the feudal kings everywhere will be ambitious.
At that time, when they reappear, they will have the opportunity to divide up the entire girder...
