Chapter 257: Keeping the New Year
Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, and firecrackers are bursting.
In the city of Gongzhou during the day, rich families hang peach charms, adults are busy hanging lanterns, and children are frolicking at the door, jumping on the snow.
Even ordinary people will write couplets on red paper and paste them on the gate, praying for the blessing of Tao Shenjun and ancestors, and the folk say that this will ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.
Although this ordinary peach wood and ordinary red paper cannot have any effect at all, it originated from the custom of hanging the wood of the peach god in the Great Zhou Shenjing, and it was used to suppress many demons in the past, and it cannot be said to be false.
Looking at this popular appearance, this move will gradually evolve into a year-end custom.
The Taoist wore a simple Taoist robe into the city, because Gongzhou was full of portraits of their gods, and every household worshipped, and the Taoist had to conjure up a mediocre appearance, so as not to be discovered and lose interest.
The donkey that followed behind him, transformed into the entourage of Yun Jun and the Taoist boy Qinglong Tong'er, at first glance, was an ordinary Taoist in a nearby Taoist temple who went into the city to buy.
Walking around the downtown in the street, the Taoist smelled the aroma of wine at the Yingxian Inn and waved his hand.
"If you want to buy something or play something, go yourself. ”
"Wait at the south gate before sunset. ”
After saying that, he stepped out and disappeared into the crowd.
The three protectors are also extremely excited, although the Kunlun Divine Realm is majestic and magnificent, and the interior is currently reviving because of the spiritual revival, and it gradually has the appearance of a cave heaven blessed land and a fairy realm.
But after all, there are only Taoists and the three of them, quiet and cold, and there is really no pastime except arguing and playing cards on weekdays.
After all, the three are not Dharma protectors who like to meditate, read and write, but some of them have inherited the consistent style of a certain Taoist.
Being able to come out and play in the bustling world is also something that the three Dharma protectors have been waiting for a long time.
The green dragon boy turned into a light and disappeared, this is to go to the Chengdong Theater to watch a play.
The donkey general cried with a sad face, this was the time when it should spread the waves of its hooves, wine shops, restaurants, gambling stalls, storytellers, all of which were in all directions, but now it was no longer open.
For it has no silver.
Yesterday, the donkey general, who was caught by the master and suppressed for a day and a night, couldn't move, cried wolf at night and pious to admit his mistakes.
During the day, for the sake of today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the Empty Dust Daojun spared this donkey.
However, at the same time, it was logical to confiscate all of the Donkey General's property, including the last copper plate hanging in the cloth bag on his chest, and confiscate all of them.
The donkey general, who had been poor for a long time, once again returned to the days of poverty.
If you don't have money, how can you waste it?
The donkey general didn't dare to really go to the trap to deceive and do evil.
If you make a mistake on weekdays, the master will smoke it at most, anyway, it has rough skin and thick meat.
If he really dared to do something evil, then the old man would really burn it to the donkey meat, and he didn't even dare to go to the gambling stall recently.
The donkey general searched left and right, and immediately found that the Qinglong boy had already left, and Yun Jun, who usually disliked the donkey general to the extreme, still stayed by his side.
The donkey general's eyes rolled, and he licked his face and stepped forward shamelessly.
"Hey!"
"Cloud demon, borrow some silver and scatter it. ”
"Not more, just 10,000 taels. ”
But this is no longer the case.
Yun Jun, who had been significantly reduced in status before and was ridiculed by General Donkey's various tricks, has now climbed on the head of General Donkey.
Yun Jun immediately turned away the donkey's head in disgust: "No money, no money." ”
General Donkey immediately said: "Don't worry, my General Donkey borrowed money, and I will definitely pay it back." ”
"I'll pay you back the interest. ”
What General Donkey said must not be believed, but Yun Jun is not a good bird, and when he raised his eyebrows, he immediately had a bad heart.
He took out a pengot of silver and tempted it.
"It's only ten taels, do you want it?"
If it was not ten taels before, it was ten thousand taels of donkey generals without blinking their eyes, there were no strange treasures in the world, and the donkey generals didn't look at it.
The donkey general felt insulted and hissed loudly: "Are you calling Hanako?"
Yun Jun immediately withdrew the silver from his sleeve, and the poor donkey general immediately stretched out his hooves to block Yun Jun's withdrawn hand.
"Forget it. ”
"Ten taels is fine!
The corners of Yun Jun's mouth widened: "This is not for nothing?"
"If you want this money, you have to carry me around the city. ”
The donkey general was annoyed, his nose spewed out white gas, and he looked like a soldier who could not be killed: "What?"
"Your donkey grandfather and I have a discipline, and no one wants to ride on the head of the donkey grandfather except the master. ”
Yun Jun seemed to have seen through the essence of the donkey general, as well as the low bottom line under his iron bones, and quietly took out a silver ticket: "One hundred taels~"
The syllables of the two words dragged on for a long time.
The iron-clad voice of the donkey general immediately weakened significantly: "Hey, I, the donkey general, when I go there, I don't lack this hundred taels." ”
Yun Jun looked like he was about to leave: "Then how much do you want?" I can tell you, there is no such shop in this village?"
The donkey general gritted his teeth: "At least...... Gotta add another ten taels. ”
Donkeys are poor and short-sighted.
took out the silver ticket and the previous silver ingot, and paid a "huge amount of money" of one hundred and ten taels, Yun Jun realized the "supreme glory" that belonged to the master in the past.
The donkey general accepted the money and took Yunjun around the city of Gongzhou.
The donkey general was also thinking at the same time.
You must have a small vault that is safe and secret and cannot be discovered by the lord to be able to keep the silver in your hand.
Otherwise, as long as the silver in his hand is discovered by the master, he will not be able to keep it.
The donkey general pulled Yun Jun to swagger through the city, such a scene did not attract the attention of the mortals in the city, but it attracted the attention of the ghosts and gods in Gongzhou City.
After all, if you look closely, you can find that they are unusual and have no fireworks, and they also use illusions to hide themselves from time to time.
No matter how clever this spell is, it will leave no trace.
As a city god who guards the entire city and receives the incense of Gongzhou, he can still find the abnormalities in it.
In the City God Temple, an old woman wearing a divine robe and crutches suddenly opened her eyes, and the light in the divine realm spread, revealing the influence of all corners of the city.
"Donkey God-kun?" The donkey, who was able to use spells, seemed to be still talking, and was so strange made her confirm it almost immediately.
And the person who can sit on the back of the donkey god monarch, does it still need to think?
It must be the Empty Dust Daojun.
Gongzhou Chenghuang Chongling had just taken office not long ago, and he didn't expect to find the traces of the Empty Dust Daojun so soon, and he was immediately excited, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the Gongzhou ghosts and gods to greet him.
Why is the entire Great Zhou so fierce in the competition for this Gongzhou city god, isn't it because this Gongzhou is at the foot of the so-called "Son of Heaven",
If you encounter this kind of opportunity, where can you not seize it, not to mention anything else, it is to be able to make a familiar face in front of the Empty Dust Dao Jun, that is a great opportunity.
But after thinking about it, this Dao Jun likes to play Hongchen, and he is keeping the New Year at the end of the year today, and Chong Ling is also afraid of disturbing this Dao Jun's interest.
So he cautiously walked out of the City God's Incense Fire God Realm and quietly went to meet him.
General Donkey and Yun Jun were eating snacks on the street, watching the juggling, and had just dispersed with the crowd.
Suddenly, a divine light appeared, and a ghost appeared in front of them.
"Gongzhou City God Chongling. ”
"Meet the Empty Dust Daojun. ”
Yun Jun and the donkey general looked at each other.
The donkey general looked at Yun Jun: "Call you?"
Yun Jun pointed at himself: "Call me?"
Gongzhou Chenghuang Niangniang Chong Ling raised her head in surprise and looked at the two.
Do you admit that you are wrong? But it can't be!
The donkey general also saw that the man had mistaken the person, and laughed.
"Quack quack. ”
"Old woman, your eyes are not good!"
"This guy is the Cloud God Monarch under the master's seat, but not the master. ”
In front of outsiders, it was rare for the donkey general not to call Yun Jun a cloud demon, and I don't know if it was because he received the other party's silver.
The old woman suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Yun Shenjun, the little god took the liberty to admit his mistake, and I hope that Yun Shenjun and Donkey Shenjun will forgive me." ”
The old woman knew that she had found the right one, this was indeed the Donkey Divine Monarch under the seat of the Empty Dust Dao Monarch, but she didn't expect that it was not the Empty Dust Dao Monarch who followed her, but another Divine Monarch under the Empty Dust Dao Monarch's seat.
Although the trip was worthwhile, there were still some regrets.
Yun Jun looked at Gongzhou Chenghuang Chong Ling and asked, "I am Yun Jun, do you have something important to do with the two of you?"
The old woman finally said: "When the old woman saw that the two divine monarchs were in the city, she thought that the Dao monarch was coming, so she hurried over. ”
"Dare to ask the two Divine Monarchs, don't you know that the Dao Monarch is in the city now?"
"The little god is the city god of this city, and he should go to meet him. ”
Yun Jun saw at a glance that this was a revered immortal saint who came to meet a familiar Dao disciple, and immediately understood.
"If Daojun is willing to see you, he will naturally meet you. ”
"Conscientiously do a good job in the priesthood of the city god, if you can make this Gongzhou as prosperous as the Great Zhou God Realm, and the people will have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"Daojun will naturally reward you for meeting you, if you can't do this city god, what kind of face do you have to come to see Daojun. ”
As soon as she said that, Gongzhou Chenghuang Niangniang Chongling's face was red and white for a while, and she also felt that her previous thoughts and actions were really a little unacceptable.
Suddenly ashamed of himself.
"Thank you Yun Shenjun for your teachings, the disciple knows what to do. ”
After thanking him, he departed ashamedly.
—————————
Before dark, the three Dharma Protectors were hanging around and having a good time.
The empty dust is also bursting with firecrackers in the nightfall, carrying wine jugs out of the city.
The Taoist looked at the Dharma Protector who was waiting for him, and finally his gaze fell on Yun Jun: "Yun Jun is right, he really learned a lot from me. ”
The scene that just happened also fell into the eyes of the Taoists.
Yun Jun nodded: "It's all based on Daojun's teachings." ”
Out of the city, drive the clouds and return to the Kunlun God Realm.
Back at the back of the Kunlun Sacred Mountain, on top of a cliff, the original Yuntian Temple sits here.
The Taoists bought a lot of Chinese New Year's Eve items in the city, as well as a lot of food and wine.
But in the end, because Yun Jun and Tong'er don't eat the things of the world, the Taoist people now have no interest in ordinary food except for wine.
Almost all cheaper than the belly of the donkey general.
In the end, the Chinese New Year's Eve was just a few fireworks at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and then forced the donkey general to dance a dance with a twisting fat buttocks.
It ended in a burst of laughter.
This is a Chinese New Year's Eve celebration in the whole sense that the empty dust came to this world.
This is also known as the Chinese New Year.
