Guifang Pavilion is worthy of being the largest green building in Yueyang County. Those who have never seen it can only feel its unusual grandeur when they come here and see it with their own eyes.

The five-storey building, which occupies a small half of the block, stands out from the crowd among the surrounding restaurants, restaurants, and grocery rice shops.

The melodious piano sounds, the tactful singing voice, and some unnamed, but very pleasant instrumental sounds, constantly wafted out of the small building.

It does not give people a sense of vulgar and obscene desire, but has a fresh and refined sense of literature and art.

There are no old bustards soliciting customers, and there are no girls sticking to the guests to engage in ambiguity, which is not the same as what the flower masters in Guan Zhen described, but it made Tianchen feel good.

There are many open pavilions, and in each pavilion there are one or two geishas, dancing, singing, or whatever.

Of course, Tianchen didn't come here to appreciate, he needed to find out what he wanted to know from these relaxed guests.

But first of all, you have to blend in with the environment and blend in with these people. After looking around, he took Tao Zhuo into a loft casually, and the loft was full of friends, and they barely found a seat to sit down.

"Hey, let's just sit like this?" Tao Zhuo leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"There are a lot of people, don't talk, just look at me. Tianchen replied casually.

Tao Zhuo saw that he had his own opinions, so he didn't say more, anyway, as long as he was there, the things that used his brain have always had nothing to do with them.

The girl on the stage is estimated to be twenty-eight years old, but she plays the piano well, at least at her age, which is quite good, and it seems that she has worked hard.

Tianchen also knows a little bit about music and rhythm, after all, he was once a person who was a prince, and his morality, intelligence, physical and beauty should be balanced development, so he also deliberately practiced for two years...... The Year of the Wonderland.

In his opinion, this girl's piano is excellent, and the music is also good, but there is no heart.

The so-called heart is emotion, which is the life given to the sound by the person who plays the piano, and the sound without emotion, no matter how beautiful the rhythm is, is just an empty shell that has lost its soul. If you want to practice to this level, talent and hard work are indispensable.

The musicians of the fairy realm are all above this level, reaching the realm of meaning. Tianchen grew up in this environment, and his vision inevitably became a little high.

However, this is the mortal world, and the lifespan of mortals is only a hundred years, how can it be compared with the long lifespan of immortals, so it can't be too demanding.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded, all kinds of rewards were offered, and there were special small people who came down to receive the rewards. The girl was delighted, and she presented another song.

Tianchen's attention is mainly on the guests below, judging who is the most appropriate to talk to through their behavior and private conversation.

But he didn't want to, before Tianchen took the initiative to find someone else, someone came to talk to him first.

"Young man, you look like you're from out of town, right?" A middle-aged scribe in a loose robe next to him smiled inexplicably.

Tianchen was worried that no one would talk, so he replied: "Mr. is right, we are foreign pianists, traveling around, calling home all over the world, and we just arrived in Yueyang County today." I don't know how the gentleman saw it?"

The middle-aged scribe laughed.

"Guifang Pavilion is different from ordinary green buildings, there is not too much powder, but there is more elegant taste, it is really a clear stream in the fireworks field! Only outsiders who do not know will show surprise after coming to Guifang Pavilion. How's it going? Are you two a little disappointed?"

"It's not disappointment, but it's real. ”

Tianchen smiled: "The two of us traveled to the famous cities of mountains and rivers in order to experience different customs and find inspiration opportunities for composing music. If you are new to Yueyang County and don't know what is worth visiting, you may wish to recommend one or two. ”

"Hahaha, young man, you're asking the right question. ”

The middle-aged scribe smiled: "Although I haven't been in Yueyang for long, the whole city has played with me. Where is it worth visiting, I have a lot of experience. ”

"In the next two, listen to you. ”

"In my opinion, Yueyang has four uniques, corresponding to eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. You're in one of them right now, and you're in a great place - Guifang Pavilion ......"

Next, the middle-aged scribe was so excited that he didn't even listen to the beautiful sound of the piano, and recommended to Tianchen and Tao Zhuo the wonders of eating, drinking, and having fun in Yueyang County.

Tao Zhuo gradually became a little impatient when he listened, Tianchen seemed to be very interested, and chatted with the scribe enthusiastically.

"Sir's words seem to have taken us all over the entire Yueyang County. However, before I came here, I had heard that there was a City God Temple in the ancient city of Yueyang, which was very famous, why hadn't I heard Mr. mention it?"

The middle-aged scribe was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Chenghuang Temple, of course, is a major feature of Yueyang County, after all, it is a rare ancient city and ancient building. It's just that the focus of my personal interests is different, and it's my fault to introduce my preferences to the two of you, hahaha. ”

"Where is the fault of the gentleman, I also like the taste of the gentleman very much, and the emptiness must be walked one by one. It's just that when the next two first came here, they also had the idea of worshipping the gods and petitioning, so they wanted to inquire if the gods in the City God Temple in Yueyang were effective?"

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and said, "Is this, I really don't know, I haven't been to the City God Temple since I came to Yueyang." ”

Tianchen was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still couldn't do it.

Although Guifang Pavilion is a different place for fireworks, it does not mean that the people who come here have such a high level and taste.

Obviously, most of the people here are not such people, otherwise there would not be so many people's attention, and they are not above the music and dance music. Instead, they exchanged their heads and ears with squinting eyes to the girls, and whispered.

Tianchen was talking hotly here, and he had already attracted the attention of many people around him, and an uncle next to him interjected at the right time:

"It's right to come to our City God Temple, our Yueyang's City God is amazing, it is said that it has existed in our Yueyang for thousands of years. That's the supreme god who can reach the heavens and enter the earth! Find our city god to make a wish, that's a ......."

"Don't blow you up!"

The guest in front couldn't stand it anymore, and turned his head and retorted: "I don't know if Lord Chenghuang is so capable, but it is really not good to ask him to make a wish, and it is better than the land lord of Duntang!"

As soon as he heard this, the uncle next to him was unhappy.

"With your attitude, it is impossible for the City God to fulfill your wishes! If you want the City God to help you, you must first be sincere, and sincerity is spiritual. Secondly, if the wish you are asking for is a good wish, what is a good wish? That is in line with the wishes of morality and etiquette, otherwise any wish can be fulfilled, then the way of the world will not be chaotic?"

The guest in front of me was also more serious, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Don't I understand what you said? A few days ago, my daughter had a high fever and nightmares every night, and the doctor said that he couldn't see anything wrong with my daughter.

In a hurry, I went to the City God Temple to petition the Lord of the City God to drive away the nightmare for my daughter and bless her safety.

As a result, I went to ask for three days in a row, burned incense, and donated money, but my daughter was still like that, and there was no improvement. Later, I ran out of recruits, and took my daughter to Duntang to worship the land lord, hey, the next day will be fine!

Therefore, our Yueyang City God is not as useful as imagined!"

The uncle next to him was not convinced, but if what the previous person said was true, it could indeed prove Chenghuang's incompetence. But he didn't believe it, the old Yueyang City people who grew up under the protection of the City God since he was a child respected and understood the City God very well.

So he kept explaining: "If what you say is the truth, then there must be a reason for this, which old man who has lived in Yueyang County has not received the favor of the City God? If you belittle the City God Lord like this, we old Yueyang people will not agree!"

The dispute here attracted the attention of more people around him, but Tianchen was silent at this time, such a result was what he wanted, only if more people were involved in this topic, it was possible for him to deduce something he wanted to know from these people's conversations.

"Two old brothers, don't get excited, if you have something to say, listen to the old man say a fair word. ”

An old man not far away intervened in the dispute between the two people, and comforted him with kind words:

"The old man is an old Yueyang man, and his ancestors have lived in this ancient city for generations. Lord Chenghuang is a kind and powerful god as this old brother said. ”

The old man waved his hand to stop the guest in front of him from retorting, and then said:

"However, in recent days, something seems to have happened to the City God Temple, and the City God seems to be ...... How do you say it? It's like you're not at home. ”

"What do you mean, old man?"

Tianchen's eyes moved slightly, he naturally knew where Chenghuang had gone, but he still asked quietly.

Ten days ago, the old man suddenly woke up in a dream, but he didn't know why, but he vaguely remembered that before waking up, he seemed to hear a miserable cry in his dream.

The old man didn't take it seriously at first, and the next day he chatted with the neighbors, and found that everyone had heard miserable screams in their dreams, and then they were awakened.

After that, the old man paid attention and went to inquire around, many people did not have this situation, and those who had this abnormal situation lived near the City God Temple.

After that, it seems that the petition to the City God's Temple is not very effective, as the old man said before...... Lord Chenghuang, it seems that ...... It's gone!"

The guest in front of him seemed to remember something, and his face changed slightly.

"Oh, I remember, my daughter always muttered 'Grandpa Chenghuang...... 'Grandpa Chenghuang', so I would go to the Chenghuang Temple to petition at first, and now that I think about it, it may be really ......."

Tianchen was silent. Now it seems that two points can be determined. First, the task given by Hua Shaofeng this time must be related to the City God, and secondly, the City God Temple has indeed changed. And Yueyang Chenghuang's words should be credible at present.

So the question now is, what happened to the temple that night, who was the attacker, and most importantly, what was the purpose of the other party's move?

Tianchen exhaled a breath of turbidity, pondering in his heart that this fog was heavy, and he didn't know how to clear the clouds and see the light of day again.
