Gyeonggi Province is located on the west bank of the Tongju River basin of the Tongtian River, and the entire Gyeonggi Province is actually like a corner of the land of Tongju, so in Daejeong, Tongju is also nicknamed Zhili State.

Although the official Dazhen court does not have an explicit endorsement in this regard, it is actually similar.

On this day, in the Changle Mansion City of Tongzhou, whether it is the yamen or the city gate, and even on the street notice wall in some prosperous areas, there are officials who hurriedly come.

**The Tianyue Restaurant on the street is one of the most famous restaurants in the city, and there are many shops around, including but not limited to restaurants, teahouses, cloth, groceries, etc., which makes the ** street appear extremely prosperous and is one of the few prosperous streets in Changle Mansion.

At this time, it is close to the meal, and it is the time when people come and go on the edge of the big restaurant, and there are also some beggars sitting in the corner opposite the big restaurant, waiting for the well-wishers to give alms.

Now that the sun is hot, it is impossible for beggars to beg for food during the day to go under the broken temple bridge and other places, and this kind of area, a shadow area in the corner of the wall has become a luxurious resting place.

It's just that seven or eight beggars of different ages here are willing to cover themselves with a few rags or broken fans and umbrellas under the scorching sun, and a small shadow in the corner of the wall is curled up by an old beggar to sleep, snoring for a while.

"Go away, go away... Go away and get out of the way!"

Several officers with sabers strode from a distance, two in front of them to open the way, two in the back holding a large roll of yellow cloth, and one carrying a bucket.

"Go away, go away, and say that you are not allowed to block the notice wall. ”

The first two officials walked over, stretched out their legs and kicked a few sleepy beggars a few times, drove them away a little, looked at the handful in the corner of the other end, frowned and didn't pay much attention to it, and said to the two people behind.

"Just post it here. ”

The official carrying the bucket nodded and stepped forward, took a brush handle from the bucket and stirred it a few times, and then brushed back and forth on the wall with the paste in the bucket.

Some beggars on the side looked at the bucket in the official's hand and swallowed frequently, they knew that this paste was actually made of rice cereal, and it was edible.

"Okay, let's post it. ”

The official at the back began to unfold the yellow cloth, and the two colleagues on the side hurriedly helped pull the corners, and then the three of them worked together to glue the upper corner of the yellow cloth to the wall, and then pasted it little by little in the direction of the yellow cloth, until the entire large yellow cloth was paved on the notice wall.

Seeing the actions of the officials, some passers-by and wealthy businessmen who were more brightly dressed around also stopped watching from the periphery.

"Hey, this notice is based on yellow cloth, this is a yellow list!"

"Yes, is there something big going on in the capital?" "Just look at what is written." ”

"It's almost pasted, this is ...... Careers?"

After the official posted the notice, he looked around, and without much explanation, he left directly with his things, and the people on the side gathered a little more, and some older people looked at the list and read it word by word.

"Emperor Zhao Tianxia: I have been a great emperor for two hundred years, and now it is in the prosperous era, all the people in the country are served, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the emperor lives in the autumn of the year of Yiyou......."

The older man stroked his beard as he read, occasionally pausing to sort out the words behind him to make his reading smoother.

“...... This edict is hereby issued, summoning the world to have a master to participate in the grand event, on the occasion of the nine days and ten meetings, the fairy fate and wonderful law will gather together, for the great chastity, for the Son of Heaven!"

After the old man finished reading, he took a few breaths around him before he began to talk.

"This is going to hold an immortal dao conference?"

"Hey, didn't you read what the yellow list said, this is a land and water conference. ”

"Now the capital is lively, maybe there will really be immortals!"

"Yes, if there are really immortals, then shouldn't we also go and see it, in case the immortals take a fancy to me and pass on my immortal law?"

"Dream about you, just like you pig's head!" "What's wrong with being ugly, the fairy still looks at his face?"

"The title of the heavenly master is so majestic...... "What's the use of breaking the title, a thousand taels of gold is the real guy!"

The people on the side are talking a lot, some of them are excited and they are listening to the freshness, and some people are already discussing going to the capital to join in the fun, anyway, it must be much more interesting than the temple fair and the like.

But for the beggars in the corner, who have problems with food and clothing, this kind of big event is still too far away, and they are listless, but the old beggar who was sleeping soundly in the corner opened his eyes.

'At this juncture, Emperor Dazhen held a water and land puja, and the so-called gathering of immortals will not become a group of demons dancing at that time?"

But after thinking about it, the old beggar felt that he couldn't, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

"Ho~~~~"

The old beggar sat up yawning, rubbed his eyes, pinched out the droppings of his eyes, and bounced them off his hands a few times.

"Grandpa Lu, why don't you sleep? ”

Seeing that the old beggar woke up, a little beggar who looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy next to him said a word to him, and when he saw that the old beggar was about to get up, he hurried over to help him.

"Ruber is awake?" "Ruber, you take a saliva. ”

"I'm still stuttering, I just picked up two pieces of pastry, it's not rancid!"

As soon as the old beggar woke up, the beggars on the side were all greetings and concerns, the former just took a bamboo tube and drank a few sips of water, and then took one of the pastries and stuffed it into his mouth, and then waved his hand at the others.

"Okay, okay, keep it for yourself, old beggar, I'm not hungry now. ”

After saying this, the old beggar stood up, chewed the pastry in his mouth, and stretched out comfortably, and some pedestrians around him who were still looking at the yellow list also looked sideways at the group of beggars who made some noise.

When the old beggar had stretched his body, he beckoned to the little beggar who had asked him at first.

"You'er, let's go to the capital for a walk, shall we?"

The little beggar stood up with a broken ceramic bowl, looked at the yellow list over there, and wondered if Grandpa Lu heard the person just now read the yellow list when he was sleeping, and the answer in his mouth was more tangled.

"Hey, in the capital... So far ......."

"Hey, you just said if you want to go, right?"

The old beggar put his hand into the hole in his clothes, tickled the tickle under his armpit, closed one eye and squinted the other, and asked the little beggar with a smile on his face.

"I want to go, the most lively and magnificent place in the world, of course I want to go!"

"Haha... Let's go!"

The old beggar reached out and patted the little beggar on the back, and then half-pushed him forward.

The little beggar walked a few steps in a daze and then looked back, and the beggars behind him were watching him and the old beggar go away, and suddenly realized that he was leaving with Grandpa Lu?

It was also at this time that the beggars behind called out to say goodbye.

"Rubeus take care!" "Be careful on the way!"

"Uncle Lu is looking at Xiaoyou!"

The old beggar looked back with a smile, waved his hand, casually said a few "take care" and continued to lead Xiaoyou towards the front of the street.

The beggars looked at their backs and finally sat back in place, waiting for the leftovers and other alms of the afternoon.

"Grandpa Lu, let's go, Uncle Zhang, what should they do?"

The old beggar seemed to have a lot of fleas all over his body, scratching the front with one hand and scratching the back with the other, and when he heard the little beggar's words, he muttered for a while.

"They don't depend on us to feed themselves, and their ability to ask for food is better than yours, besides, the first few of them are now both legs and hands, and there are no abscesses on their bodies, so it's not difficult to do some serious work, so don't worry about it. ”

Whether it is a monk in the mortal world, or some spirits and demons, or a liar god, there are not a few people like old beggars who rush to Gyeonggi Mansion after knowing about the water and land puja.

Even if there are not some evil spirits coming, just thinking about the appearance of liars and gods gathering in Kyoto to "participate in the grand event" can be regarded as a "group of demons dancing" to a certain extent.

Although Tongzhou is next to Gyeonggi Province, Changle Mansion and Gyeonggi Province are separated by two provinces after all, the old beggar and the little beggar wake up and beg for food while hurrying, and when they are tired, they find a place to shelter from the wind and rain and fall asleep, anyway, the weather is hot and can't freeze now.

It's not slow to travel in such a hurry, but it's just a month's work, and he has already walked from Changle Mansion to Gyeonggi Mansion on two legs.

Early in the morning, two beggars, one old and one young, lined up outside the city gate to enter the city, because they slept next to the city gate last night, so when the city gate was not opened this morning, the two beggars lined up at the front of the line.

One of the burden-carrying farmers in the line at the back could not help but leave the distance between his two positions, for the two beggars not only smelled bad, but the old one tickled from time to time, fearing that he had lice on his body.

The old beggar yawned, looked back and forth at the line a few times, and saw that the line was getting longer and longer, and sometimes he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw some guys in the team who looked like dogs.

"Squeak... Giggle ......"

"The gates are open!"

As the soldiers in the city opened the gates, the passage of Gyeonggi Province was revealed to those who wanted to enter the city.

Originally, beggars were not allowed to enter the city gate, but in the eyes of the little beggar, although the old beggar was unkempt and sloppy, he pretended to be very imposing when he was interrogated by the gatekeepers.

"I have been ordered to come to the water and land puja." He said it with a full sense of neutrality, and did not dodge in the face of the soldier's direct gaze, so that the soldier let him go after hesitation.

The capital is really lively, and in the past, it was not comparable to Changle Mansion, not to mention that it was a day like this, which made the little beggar directly dazzled.

But even so, after walking around the city, the two beggars still got up to work, and were ready to sit down and beg for food in a suitable place.

"Hey, it's good here, you can smell the vegetables on both sides, and you can see pedestrians from all sides. ”

The old beggar pulled the little beggar and happily walked to the corner opposite a teahouse, and there were several restaurants around it, and the two sat down, and the little beggar took the opportunity to put the broken bowl in front of him.

Seeing that the old beggar was about to start napping again, the little beggar looked left and right and observed the surroundings curiously.

"The capital is really big and lively, there are few beggars!"

Turning his gaze, he saw a person on the table at the door of the teahouse opposite, calmly staring at himself with a teacup, and that person was like a special magnet, which attracted all the attention of the little beggar at once.

Separated by a street that was not too wide, it was only four or five zhang away, and the little beggar's eyesight could see the man's appearance clearly, and he looked like a learned gentleman, but although his eyes were half-open, he could see that they were pale when he looked closely.

"Grandpa Lu, there seems to be a blind man watching us over there in the teahouse......"

"Hehe, silly boy, what blind man is looking at us, you don't blame yourself for this!"

"But that's how I really feel......"

The old beggar tickled, sat up and glanced in the direction of the little beggar's gaze, and this glance was stunned, and after turning his head to look closely, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Tranquil and calm, with no waves, the power of the divine light is revealed, but the body is natural, and a sense of freshness arises from it, and it is in the eyes and in the heart.

The old beggar glanced at the little beggar beside him, and muttered as if he was a little stunned.

"You'er... This is no ordinary blind man!"
