Chapter 39: Chinese New Year's Eve (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Support)
Meditation on cultivating gods, gathering qi to practice martial arts, martial arts practices such as boxing and whipping, as well as the painting and production of various talismans of the Qinglei Temple, all of which need to be practiced and familiarized with by Zhu Houlie, has reached the realm of practice makes perfect.

I have to say that after starting to cultivate the Dao Law, Zhu Houlie's time every day has become compact, in order to absorb the knowledge inheritance of the Qinglei Guan Shenxiao Sect as soon as possible, he has stayed in the Qinglei Temple for more than ten days, and rarely stays in the mansion.
After cultivating the gods, the knowledge of the sea has increased greatly, and the key acupoints in the brain have been washed away one by one, so that Zhu Houlie's thinking agility has been greatly enhanced, his mind is clearer, and his mental arithmetic ability has also risen in a straight line.
But in the face of so much knowledge to learn and practice every day, even though Zhu Houlie is now more intelligent and can multitask, he still feels that he has insufficient time. If it weren't for the upcoming New Year, his father would also come back, and Zhu Houlie would probably have to turn on the Divine Mirror now, go to the Jiuding World, a world that has more time than the Xuanyuan Continent, and spend a lot of time practicing his existing skills.
The energy stored in the Divine Mirror is limited, so every time the function of shuttling through the world is turned on, it is necessary to earn a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual materials for it to make up for its losses, so if you use the Divine Mirror just to increase the time for a few more days, it will inevitably be a little more than worth the loss.
And after the two things of haunting and the assassination of the monk, Zhu Houlie became the man of the year in Xing'an City, and his every move was under the attention of many well-intentioned people, and even the Chenghuang God Department sent many ghosts and gods to follow Zhu Houlie in the name of protection.
Although he didn't know whether this was protection or surveillance, Zhu Houlie knew that with his current status and status, he couldn't refuse these "good-intentioned" moves. Therefore, at this time, using the Divine Mirror to shuttle through the world in Xing'an City is tantamount to exposing one's greatest reliance to the eyes of the City God's ghosts and gods, thus causing a series of unnecessary troubles and crises.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Houlie chose to stay in Qinglei Temple often, not only to learn the Dao method better, but also to avoid the eyes and ears of the city god ghosts and gods, and not let some people with intentions find out his cultivation progress, which has achieved the goal of hiding his clumsiness.
Zhu Houlie understood that at this time, he could only stand still, wait for the Chinese New Year to ask his father for the second half of Jiuyuan Zhengyigong, and go out of Xing'an City in the name of going out, away from the sight of others, before he could continue to use the Divine Mirror.
Fortunately, this situation did not need to last long, and the ten or so days passed in a flash, and Zhu Youbiao, the king of Anguo, and some of the soldiers who resisted the demon barbarians on the southern Xinjiang front returned to Xing'an City, because the Chinese New Year's Eve of the thirtieth year of Hongzhi had arrived.
The New Year of the 845th year of the Daqian Dynasty arrived, and on this Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers roaring continued to sound throughout Xing'an City from night, and it did not stop until the early hours of the morning!
The streets are full of lights, dancing dragon lanterns, singing and dancing, selling food, civilians, merchants, scholars, all of them have also taken to the streets, together to have a lively time, to celebrate the New Year, after all, this is a rare night of the year without curfew, if you can't have fun, how can this be worthy of the court's gift of lifting the ban?
It was a night of excitement for everyone. Civilians have the New Year's law of the common people, and go to the streets to be lively, while the big families have opened ancestral halls, cleaned up, packed up the offerings, and invited the gods, if they believe in Buddhism and Taoism, they will invite the Buddha Tianzun home to prepare for the hanging of the true image of the posthumous posthumous relics.
At the time of the Chinese New Year, the imperial court has rewards for officials at all levels and the royal family, and in Anguo, these rewards are naturally given by the Anwang Palace, although the example money of "Gift Eternal Spring Sacrifice Reward" is only three hundred taels of silver, but it is also a gift from the imperial court, not how much but only reflects the level of treatment, so Zhu Houlie must go to take it in person. After retrieving it, all the officials had to burn the imperial cloth bag containing the silver in front of the ancestral tablet, but for Zhu Houlie, he had to enshrine the tablet of the great Qiantaizu.
As the general of Zhenguo, Zhu Houlie naturally could not go to the palace of King An to enter the palace for a routine pilgrimage like other officials, and after the greetings, he came back with his family to worship his ancestors and celebrate the New Year. Naturally, he, the prince, wanted to go to the palace to congratulate his father and his nominal mother, and then enjoy the congratulatory banquet given by his father, queen and mother with other princes and princesses.
As for whether he can keep the New Year with King An and wait for the arrival of the New Year, it depends on King An's attitude. Zhu Houlie is an adult, and he is not a concubine, and if he wants to stay in the palace at night, he needs the grace of King An.
Therefore, on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Houlie took back the gift of eternal spring sacrifice early in the morning, and then watched Lu'er command the subordinates of the General's Mansion to clean the courtyard, paste peach charm couplets, hang various red paper or colored silk hangers, and at the same time cut into various patterns and auspicious blessings, and hang them on the lintel or eaves to add a festive atmosphere to the festival.
After the palace was renewed, Zhu Houlie wore his Zhenguo general's court uniform and entered the palace of King An according to the system.
"Thirteenth brother, you're late. ”
"Brother Seven, this is not the first time I have left the palace for the New Year, and I am a little unfamiliar with the process. ”
Before carrying the left of the hall, Zhu Houlie said to the greeting person with a smile.
The seventh brother, Zhu Houxi, is the closest existence to Zhu Houlie among the sons of King An, and he is also an elder brother who Zhu Houlie rarely feels family affection in King An's palace.
"By the way, I heard that you were assassinated shortly after you left the palace as an adult, what the hell happened?"
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Zhu Houxi pulled Zhu Houlie in a no-man's corner and asked carefully.
Zhu Houxi and Zhu Houzhuo are both innate martial artists, and they are also the most talented martial arts among their brothers who learn martial arts. Unlike Zhu Houzhuo, who made a mistake and went to the border city to serve, he took the initiative to join the army to go to the border to kill the enemy, and was valued by King An, and was incorporated into the most elite An Yuanwei in Anguo, and often went out with King An.
And now, there is no war on the border, so he and King An returned to China for the New Year.
Regarding Zhu Houxi's concern, Zhu Houlie said that it was false that he didn't feel warm, and Zhu Houlie also believed that Zhu Houxi's character was not on the same front as Zhu Houye and the three of them, so he briefly explained the situation to Zhu Houxi at that time.
"Ghosts, nocturnal monks. Zhu Houxi thought for a while and said solemnly, "Thirteen, did you offend the eldest and fourth." ”
"What do you say?!" Zhu Houlie looked stunned, although he also guessed that Zhu Houye and his three brothers might have done it, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he could only make a big deal about it in order to protect himself.
Now that Zhu Houxi is so sure, Zhu Houlie will tell him about the hundred-year-old Zhu Guo and let him refer to it for himself, after all, Zhu Houlie believes that Zhu Houxi knows more about some of the relationships in Xing'an City than himself.
