Chapter 182: Passerby
It is not a day's work to build bridges, pave roads, and build canals, but whether it is Li Yunxin or Yue Yunzi, they just need a beginning.
By June 16, the matter was almost over.
Or rather...... Here we go.
In the 25 days from the beginning of May 22 when the people of the Shenlong Sect entered the city to the completion of the main altar of the Shenlong Sect on Taoxi Road on June 16, a total of 16 canals, 19 roads, and 6 bridges outside Weicheng were started. Twenty-four other temples were built throughout the site.
In any country in the world, this is a terrible project. However, both sides know that these things do not necessarily have to be done, and those people who are grateful to Dade for this and feel that the blessings of heaven are actually just chess pieces. Both sides are using it, but not for them, just for themselves.
At the same time, in these twenty-five days, thirty-six low-level Taoist priests were killed.
Twenty-one people died at the hands of the Divine Dragon Cult. The other fifteen slowly realized that something was wrong—because their companions had been victimized by demons, and the true Enlightened Moon Yunzi had asked them to endure again and again. The demons continued to attack, and they had little to do to protect themselves - these monks who had previously held themselves in high esteem finally lost their pride, and suspected that Yueyunzi had ulterior motives.
Finally, they still had the brains - instead of questioning Yue Yunzi in person, they chose to escape from Weicheng separately in one night.
But within half an hour, the fifteen people who fled were killed one by one by Yue Yunzi's clones in different places, and their souls were scattered.
Therefore, on the night of June 16, in the other business of Yufu, Li Yunxin saw Yue Yunzi again.
The true person who attained the Tao seemed to be so satisfied that he did not even use the divine soul to incarnate the true body, but paid homage to the real body.
At present, he is really alone in Weicheng, and he is the only one left in the entire Weicheng garrison of the Danding faction of the Shangqing Dynasty - the strange deaths of the monks have already frightened the servants who know a little bit about it, and they have all fled to Bailuzhou.
Li Yunxin has nearly 10,000 followers in Weicheng, and more than 500 people come to the main altar every day to worship - although many people often scatter embroidered statues made of silver foil at the main altar.
When they met again tonight, Li Yunxin was still leaning on the rattan chair and looking at Yue Yunzi lazily: "Your people are all dead, and you dare to swagger to see me like this." ”
There were still two children who had turned into flowers and moved their seats for the real people of the Dao, and let him sit opposite Li Yunxin. Then Yue Yunzi said calmly: "They didn't do anything when they were alive, but it was more useful to die." I have come to tell you about the completion of the altar and the sacrifice to heaven on the next day. ”
"It's a sacrifice to the real dragon. Li Yunxin snorted.
"Hmm. Sacrifice to the true dragon. Yue Yunzi looked at him, "I hope it will rain when you ascend the altar tomorrow." In this way, you can increase your strength, and secondly, you can make your followers more devout and have more followers. Weicheng is the center of Daqing Riverland, and a heavy rain to save the people from fire and water will be a miracle in Riverland. The news spread from Weicheng to all directions is much more credible than from some poor rural area. ”
Li Yunxin frowned and looked at him: "You will be so kind." ”
"Mutually beneficial things. "You will be the first Yin God to appear openly in the big city and perform miracles on a large scale." Only then will the Dao Tong realize the seriousness of the matter. Then I will report the news of the murder of the monks, and after the reprimand, I will inevitably be in charge of Weicheng. ”
"Then the Taoist Congregation will send monks who can really do things - not the rubbish that came before. At that time, you will have to leave Weicheng, but your affairs have been spread by those believers, and even the Taoist and government authorities have not been able to clear the thoughts that those people have hidden in their hearts - in essence, you still have nothing to lose. We all got what we wanted. ”
"Sounds great. Li Yunxin yawned, "Then it's decided, step down." ”
Yue Yunzi did not retreat. Instead, he sat upright for a moment.
"Tongtianjun shouldn't be such a person. Is Tongtianjun trying to provoke me?" he asked.
Li Yunxin squinted at him and ignored him no longer.
"It's all in our best interest to live in peace. Yue Yunzi reiterated again in a serious voice, "If someone else comes to Weicheng, he may not sit idly by." I'm the best choice for Tongtianjun. ”
Li Yunxin waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, good." Got it. ”
But Yue Yunzi still didn't leave. Tsai stared at Li Yunxin carefully for a while, and frowned: "Tongtianjun's momentum...... It seems to have weakened. Did you suffer any injuries or fall into the realm? Tomorrow is a major event, and we must not afford to lose it. ”
Li Yunxin closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and only spit out four words: "Dragon Clan Secret Method." ”
Yue Yunzi smiled gently, and finally walked away wrapped in a burst of clear light.
After another three breaths, Liu Laodao came out of the room and sat next to Li Yunxin.
Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief: "He's going to do it." I'm here tonight to find out the wind. ”
Liu Laodao only let out a low "um".
Li Yunxin waved his hand, as if driving away mosquitoes: "Finish everything tomorrow." ”
Under the acacia tree in the courtyard, the whiskers of an acacia flower trembled slightly—and in an instant, it all fell off.
......
......
June 17 was a rare cloudy day. The sky was blue, and the heavy clouds were pressing. There is not a hint of wind, and from the morning it is like a big steamer.
But the people in Weicheng were not annoyed. Because cloudy clouds mean rain that is likely to come. Although many people in the city do not do farm work, there are no real "city people" in this day and age - they all know some things about crops.
In addition, today is the day when the main altar of the Divine Dragon Sect is completed, and everyone is happy.
It's not that everyone is a believer, but they know that this Divine Dragon Sect is generous, and there is the support of the Yu Mansion behind it. On weekdays, some silver money is given, but on an auspicious day like today, there will be less.
So from the time the sky was bright, some people dragged their families to Taoxi Road to occupy a good place.
The main altar is not an altar, but a temple. But this temple is no longer a "big temple" that can be described.
The foundation was laid deep and the platform was built high.
According to Li Yunxin's unique taste, when he got on the platform, he had to take 7749 steps of white marble - if he fell from this high platform, people who were not in good health would fall to death.
The platform is large, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs. In the past, a whole courtyard of the Dragon King Temple of Liu Laodao is now just a main hall on this platform.
The main body of the temple is covered with yellow glazed tiles, which looks resplendent with gold. On a good day, the sun even shines in gold. Many people swear that when they look at this temple of the dragon, they see what it looked like when the Great Cause was and when the ruined palace in Weicheng was not burned down - even though their great-grandfathers were not born when the Great Cause was destroyed.
But it's the truth - Li Yunxin asked people to build it according to the imperial palace of his world.
It's just that the scale is smaller, and only one main hall is built.
It is also a loss to Daqing Shangbai, he uses some golden glazed tiles, which is not overrun, and no one is looking for trouble.
Those who were in a hurry were waiting under the stage of this Divine Dragon Temple. When the auspicious time comes, the Divine Dragon Sect Master will sacrifice the true dragon on the stage, and may sprinkle a lot of gold and silver.
But some people think they came early, and others didn't leave last night. The weather was cool, and the kimono slept on the ground. When it was brighter and it was too hot to sleep, I started chatting. The things we talked about were all kinds of strange things about the Divine Dragon Sect. For example, someone had seen the Divine Dragon Sect Master emit a golden light from his palm, and a mountain was split in an instant.
In fact, people who say this kind of thing don't believe it very much, and those who listen to it don't believe it very much-just like those folklore stories, so-and-so met immortals, so-and-so was called by Yan Jun to be the judge of the Yang world.
However, after all, the people of Weicheng have experienced several miraculous things. Although I don't believe it, I have an extra awe in my heart.
The more people gathered, the more rumors about the Divine Dragon Sect Master became.
By the time it was almost noon in the morning, the temple was almost surrounded by a crowd of thousands.
Thousands of people, and not standing in dense queues. Scattered on the ground at random, even the half-demolished Taoxi Road could not be rebuilt, and the crowd squeezed all the way to Yangliu Street outside Taoxi Road.
There were so many people, and small traders and vendors also came, selling food and toys and odd and miscellaneous items.
Hengzhi is waiting, so he eats something and looks at gadgets while he is waiting.
As a result, the entire Peach Creek Road became bustling with people, and some other people in the city who didn't want to come to see it heard that there seemed to be an extra market somewhere today, and they also came to join in the fun. Some peasants who had entered the city saw this situation, inquired again, and hurried home.
What do you do when you go home?
Stock up to catch the market.
Commerce was not developed in this era. Many of the things that farmers around Weicheng need are hard to come by, even in the shops in the city. There is no suitable place for the peasants to sell what they produce.
Li Yunxin had previously turned into a river of sour soup on Changmen Street - it was a bazaar at that time. Once or twice a month, people around Weicheng go to Changmen Street to communicate with each other, which is called "catching up with the market".
Now that the festival of the main altar of the Divine Dragon Sect has not yet begun, a bazaar has been created.
In the past, this matter may have been handled by the officials of the government. But now that Weicheng is almost in a state of anarchy, how can the governor in the city care about this matter-he can not instruct those who catch the public to hurry.
So it came at noon......
There are more than 10,000 people in this vicinity!
With so many people, the topic of small talk is always inseparable from the Divine Dragon Sect, and it gradually climbs to the body of the sect master.
And gradually-
Some people say that they have seen the master before.
When have you seen it?
It was a few days before the dragon king appeared on the night in the city and burned Mt. Nohara.
It just so happened that there was also a vendor selling sour soup in the bazaar. Hearing this, he slapped his thigh hatefully, gritted his teeth, and determined: "It's him!"
At first, they teased him only as if he was joking. The peddler told him that his sour soup had been drawn into the river by the young man. That incident spread widely in Weicheng, and I knew that it was not a fake. But there were also diners present that day, which corroborated the hawker's words.
The peddler also said that he had been hanging out with the Divine Dragon Sect for some time a while before, because he had heard that he was making a big deal and wanted to see if he could get a windfall. However, he didn't take advantage of it, but he had a face-to-face with the Divine Dragon Sect Master.
- Not the young Taoist priest that day or who!
The matter is already over at this point, which is nothing more than that the Divine Dragon Sect Leader has walked in Weicheng before and done strange things, and he is indeed a master, and he may even be a Divine Dragon.
However, the diners here came and went, and the topic was repeatedly mentioned - "Oh, the sour soup seller was rectified by the leader of the Shenlong Sect before" - and finally a person who originally lived in Bailuzhou and had been doing business in Weicheng for the past few days also heard about it.
The man thought about it and thought about it, and finally realized that he seemed to have seen the young man in Egret Town before.
He had already seen Li Yunxin - almost everyone in Bailuzhou was a believer in the Divine Dragon Sect. However, as the sect leader, Li Yunxin and the passers-by he met by chance in Bailu Town were difficult to get in touch.
Until today, after listening to so many words, I remembered the rare handsome appearance of that Divine Dragon Sect Master.
Originally, this person planned to rush back to Egret Island. But before going out of the city, I passed by Taoxi Road, and I was a lively person, so I came to take a look, eat something by the way, and then continue to hurry.
By this time, the food was almost finished, so he didn't say anything more-anyway, it wasn't unusual for him to see the Divine Dragon Sect Leader in Egret Continent. Everyone knows that the Divine Dragon Sect started in Egret Continent.
However, just as he drank the soup base in the bowl in one gulp, slapped a dozen coins on the table, and was about to get up and leave, the vendor, who had been busy behind the cart, suddenly spoke to him.
The peddler was also talking. It's just a smile on his face, and he occasionally has time to chat with people.
But just as a gust of wind blew, the peddler's figure suddenly froze. Then he stopped what he was doing, and ignored the new guests calling him, only looked directly at the passers-by of Bailuzhou, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
As he spoke, he slowly and unskillfully filled the pot with a bowl of sour soup and sent it to him personally. Then he sat down at the table and said, "I like to hear about him." Let's talk about it. When was the first time I saw him, and what was he like?"
The passers-by of Egret Island naturally felt strange.
But the other party is just a peddler and an ordinary person. And everyone is talking about the Divine Dragon Sect Master, and there is nothing to avoid.
He sat back down at the table because of the steaming bowl of sour soup and smiled, "Hey, this thing--I'm not very hungry anymore-"
"I'll send you. The peddler laughed and said, "That man, you know, you heard about it just now, and you dealt with me. ”
"So I'd love to know more about him. I find it particularly interesting. The vendor's smile was like a mask on his face, and even passers-by thought it was a little strange, but they couldn't tell what it was.
A few other passing guests shouted at him a few times, and when they saw that he should not be, they cursed and left.
But the peddler didn't care, just reached out and patted the passer-by's hand gently: "Say it." ”
This traveler from Egret Continent suddenly felt relieved, and couldn't help the desire to talk in his heart.
================
Why do some people still think that Shikuizi is dead after posting yesterday's chapter......
At the end of the chapter, Liu Laodao happily said thank you to Li Yunxin - is this what it should be like to know that his daughter-in-law is dead......
I'll just say ah friends, alas, how to say it, I write an article, and I don't talk about the big plot, but at least in the details, everyone's reaction and ideas are trying to be reasonable.
So when you think, "Hey, this person's reaction is wrong, shouldn't it be like this" - then it's not because I'm writing scumbags or writing people weirdly, but because things are really wrong and there is something inside.
I'm so wronged...... (To be continued.) )
