Chapter 113: The ceremony ends
In the eighth year of Chen Chaohongyou, on November 1, the new Ten Aunt Temple was officially completed after Aobei Mountain in Yi County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, it was already built the day before yesterday, but November 1 happened to be the date of the legendary ancient god Ao Bintian, so the inauguration ceremony was postponed for two days, and this day was chosen. According to Aunt Du Shi, this day is also the most likely day for the descendants of Shenao, in other words, those who covet the Earth God Pearl are the most likely to do it.
In the past few days, the number of people in the valley has decreased, and it has remained at about 10,000 or 20,000 per day, but on the first day of the completion of this temple, there are at least 30,000 people in the valley.
More than a dozen officials of the county government, with dozens of organized villagers, stood in two straight rows, standing on both sides of the valley mouth oppositely. In front of them, there were Zhao Tongjuan, Peng Zhixian and a few Li Zheng, and Liang Wenfu also stood beside a few people.
This is waiting to welcome the acting prefect, the government and the governor of Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou has already said that when the temple is completed, he will come to watch the ceremony in person, and the day before yesterday, Zhao Tongju sent his entourage back to the city and told him the date.
Although Lord Zhou may not arrive until the afternoon, Zhao Tongju and the others are still looking forward to it here early in the morning in order to show their respect.
Liang Wenfu and Zhou Zhongchuan are also familiar with each other, although the relationship is not very close because the two personalities are not all the way, but he doesn't need to be so respectful to Zhou Zhengchuan at all. The reason why he was standing here with a serious expression was completely on guard against possible enemies.
The villagers gathered more and more, and the valley was filled with people in a chaotic manner, and this time it was really full! At least 70,000 or 80,000 people came today, which is already 90 percent of the total population of Yi County, and the huge valley was crowded to the ground.
The sun slowly climbed up to the sky, and just a moment before noon, Lord Zhou's guard of honor finally appeared. Liang Wenfu let out a sigh of relief, now that there is an acting prefect in charge, I don't think any cultivator will dare to do it anymore.
After a cumbersome officialdom welcoming ceremony, it took a lot of effort for the officials to finally divide a road through the crowd to the main entrance of the temple.
Lord Zhou called Liang Wenfu, held his hand and walked towards the temple with a smile, Zhao Tongju, Peng Zhixian and others hurriedly hugged behind, although they couldn't hear what the two were talking about, they also had to put on a happy expression on their faces.
Zhou Zhengchuan was not interested in any small gods such as Aunt Du at all, and could even be said to ignore them. Therefore, when he walked to the top of the temple steps in front of the temple gate, he stopped entering, and said a few words to the people below, and then retreated to the side to give up his position.
Lord Zhou didn't say anything, Zhao Tongju and Peng Zhixian didn't dare to step forward to "add more" and "emphasize two more points", but honestly retreated behind Lord Zhou. Liang Wenfu didn't like to talk clichés, so he directly glanced at the goddess and signaled that the ceremony could begin.
Accompanied by solemn and majestic music, the goddess presided over the ceremony in an orderly manner. In the end, the aroma that had been permeating the valley for more than ten days suddenly became intense, and then ten thousand rays of light burst out around the Ten Aunt Temple.
Surrounded by colorful glow, Aunt Du appeared above the main hall of the temple, with an image of more than ten years tall, smiling and signaling to the people at the scene.
The people at the scene cheered, hulala knelt on the ground, and prayed to Aunt Du Shi one after another, and many people were so excited that they burst into tears!
Lord Zhou pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully: "The evil god of the remote wilderness, accustomed to illusion fools!"
Liang Wenfu shook his head slightly after hearing this, the mutual contempt between the officials and the cultivation world in this world was a bit inexplicable. But fortunately, the contempt for each other on both sides is more just an attitude, and on the whole they still pursue the strategy of not offending me and not offending others, and there will be no fanatical thinking that has to completely destroy each other.
A moment later, Aunt Du Shi in the air dissipated with those glows, and the inauguration ceremony officially ended. The people at the scene began to line up to go into the temple to burn incense and pray, and Lord Zhou took Liang Wenfu and Zhao Tongju to retreat down the palace steps, and he could stand here and wait until the ceremony was over, which was already enough to give face to the temple.
When the group was about to reach the tent, suddenly a woman with swaddling clothes in her arms squeezed this way, and shouted loudly: "Master...... Wait a minute!"
The officials who opened the way in front of them guessed that the woman was a Diao Min who had come to kneel on the street to complain, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept her. When Lord Zhou heard the movement, he frowned and stopped, and ordered: "Don't stop her, bring her over!"
The official received the order, and desperately separated the crowd, and brought the woman over.
Peng Zhixian, who was standing behind Lord Zhou, was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his face. In officialdom, many high-ranking officials like to gather the hearts of the people, and taking a complaint on the street is one of the main means. If the defendant can be dealt with on the spot after receiving the complaint, it will be even more satisfactory to the public.
This is the jurisdiction of Pengzhi County, and the woman complains to the prefect in public, and the most likely unlucky person is Pengzhi County, even if he has only been in office for more than ten days. Even if Diao Minsu's matter has nothing to do with Peng Zhixian, does he dare to shift the responsibility to his predecessor? The former governor of this county is the current Lord Zhou!
To everyone's surprise, after the woman came over, she walked straight to Liang Wenfu and knelt down with a plop.
What's the situation?
Liang Wenfu, like Lord Zhou and Peng Zhixian, was confused by this woman's actions.
But I heard the woman crying and kowtowing: "I finally found the eldest master, thank you for saving my life......"
Liang Wenfu hurriedly helped her up, looked at her suspiciously, and recognized it for a while: Last time Wen Zhong was assessed by the underworld, he had to kill a woman to serve in the underworld, and this woman was the person Wenzishi wanted to kill. When she was pulled into the water, she threw the infant child to the shore hard, and Liang Wenfu stepped forward to catch it.
The last time I saw her, she had just come out of the water and soaked like a chicken in soup, so Liang Wenfu didn't recognize it at once.
The woman couldn't help but thank Liang Wenfu: "Thank you, sir, last time the dog was rescued by you, the woman panicked and didn't have time to thank you." God has mercy on me, I met a benefactor here, but I didn't expect that you are still an official master!"
Although Peng Zhixian didn't hear it very clearly, he also understood that this matter had nothing to do with him, and hurriedly stroked his chest, he was really shocked just now. Seeing that the matter had nothing to do with him, Lord Zhou turned around and continued to walk towards the tent, and Zhao Tongju and Peng Zhixian hurriedly followed.
The woman pulled Liang Wenfu and thanked her again and again, and said apologetically: "The woman's family is poor, and she didn't bring anything when she came, so she really has nothing to repay the master, how can this be good?" Liang Wenfu hurriedly relieved her, saying that she was just raising her hand and only coming......
The woman finally decided that she wanted to go home and set up an immortal tablet for Liang Wenfu, and worship it devoutly every day! Liang Wenfu was taken aback, he didn't want to be like Wei Zhongxian, let people set up some kind of ancestral hall, and after a lot of effort, he finally dispelled the woman's idea, and the woman left with a thousand thanks.
Looking at the back of the woman leaving, Liang Wenfu was strange in his heart: according to his and Wen Zishi's guess before, since the underworld asked Wen Zishi to kill this woman, it means that her life has arrived. Even if Wenzishi spared her at that time, she should not live long - as the saying goes, "Hades let people die in the third watch, and will never leave you until the fifth watch".
However, it has been more than half a month since this incident, how come this woman and the child are still alive and well? In this way, didn't the Difu want to let Wenzishi kill innocents indiscriminately?
