The dry stone wasteland was huge, and it was already three hours after the bronze carriage passed through the dry stone wasteland.
After passing through the dry stone wasteland, green mountains, green waters, vegetation, birds and animals suddenly came into view. A vibrant scene formed a sharp contrast with the desolate and dead silence of the dry stone wasteland.
And among the green mountains and green waters, a small town stands, adding a bit of fireworks.
After Ye Qing left Wangxue City, he walked in the deserted wilderness for several days. When he saw the populated villages and towns, he felt a sense of intimacy.
Besides, it was already evening, so Ye Qing decided to rest in the town for one night before heading on his way again.
Although the town is not big, it is very lively. There are lights and colorful lights everywhere, everyone is wearing red and green, big red lanterns are hung on the streets and on the eaves and corners of the houses, and the sound of firecrackers is like the Spring Festival. It is so festive and lively.
Of course, it is not the end of the year, nor is it the Spring Festival.
After inquiring, Ye Qing learned that today is the annual blessing festival in Wanfu Town. On this day, men, women and children in Wanfu Town will wear new clothes, red and green, and go to the Temple of Fortune to worship the God of Fortune. , to pray for blessings from the gods of good fortune, no illness, no disaster, health and happiness.
The God of Blessing is a god commonly worshiped by ordinary people in Wei State. Almost every household enshrines a statue of the God of Blessing. It is unknown whether it really exists.
The celebration to worship the God of Fortune took place during the day. When Ye Qing entered Wanfu Town, it was already evening and the celebration had already ended. However, the end of the celebration did not mean that all activities were over.
In fact, Wanfu Town is the busiest at night.
At a quarter of an hour in the evening, the Wanfu Town Meeting holds a banquet for the gods of fortune. The so-called gods of fortune
A banquet is when every household brings out their own delicious food and rice and puts it together for everyone to share and taste.
After the God of Fortune Banquet, the people of Wanfu Town will gather together to enjoy the opera performance.
In fact, the opera performance in the evening is what the people look forward to the most. Poor people like them who live in small places have no entertainment activities all year round. Opera and juggling are the only entertainment projects they can access. , naturally there are many expectations for this.
Not only that, I heard that the Weiyan Opera Troupe invited this year is even more famous, and many people in the troupe are famous actors.
Originally, they would not have dared to think about a big and famous theater troupe like Weiyan Theater Troupe. However, just a few days ago, Weiyan Theater Troupe happened to be passing through Wanfu Town. They heard that Wanfu Town was going to hold a prayer festival. In order to thank the people of Wanfu Town for their support, they In response to the warm hospitality, the Weiyan Opera Troupe decided to sing for the common people on the day of the Prayer Festival.
Therefore, before it got dark, the people of Wanfu Town were impatient, and even the subsequent God of Fortune Banquet was somewhat lacking in interest.
Of course, for Ye Qing, the God of Fortune Banquet was more attractive than the party of the Weiyan Troupe.
Although the dishes at the God of Fortune Banquet were all vegetarian and game, and the cooking was not exquisite, they were rich, varied and delicious.
In addition, the people in Wanfu Town are also very hospitable. Although Ye Qing is just an outsider staying overnight, they are also very caring about Ye Qing. They frequently toast to Ye Qing, which naturally makes Ye Qing enjoy the meal. Hot rice.
The blessing feast lasted for more than an hour. When the time of Hai arrived,
When they arrived, the opera performance that the people of Wanfu Town had longed for finally began. As a guest, Ye Qing was also fortunate to be invited to sit in the front row and watch the performance of the Weiyan Opera Troupe up close.
The piece performed by Weiyan Opera Troupe is called Erlang Conquering Demons. It tells the story of a demon causing trouble in ancient times. Heaven sent Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to earth to conquer demons.
Although the story is simple, the performance by the Weiyan Opera Troupe was full of tension and the singing was passionate. Everyone was excited and excited, cheering and applauding endlessly.
By the time the song was finished, it was already midnight, but everyone still didn't want to leave for a long time. They talked to each other and talked louder than before.
It's a pity that when the opera finally ends, no matter how reluctant everyone is to leave, they can only go back to their homes.
The people of Wanfu Town were busy all day and then late into the night. They were so sleepy that they fell asleep not long after returning home.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling and brightly lit Wanfu Town became silent and dark.
As a guest, Ye Qing was also lucky enough to be assigned a bedroom alone. After everyone else was asleep, Ye Qing also sat cross-legged and began to practice.
At his level, there is not much difference between sleeping and not sleeping. As far as rest is concerned, meditation is even more effective than sleeping.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Dong dong dong..."
"Dong dong dong..."
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qing, who was meditating, suddenly heard the sound of drums.
The sound of the drum was rumbling, vague at first, as if it was far away, but in an instant it resounded throughout the world, like spring thunder.
Such high-pitched and loud drumming instantly broke the silence of the night, and
Awakened the sleeping people.
When the people of Wanfu Town walked out of their houses cursing and followed the sound of drums, they suddenly became silent again.
I saw that everyone had their heads raised, their mouths half-opened, their eyes wide open, and their faces full of shock.
Because they saw gods.
Yes, the sky is full of gods.
I saw colorful auspicious clouds floating in the sky, and there were heavenly soldiers wearing golden armor and holding swords, majestic;
There are strong men as tall as mountains, with three heads and six arms, beating big drums, and the sound shakes the sky;
There is a golden flag, fluttering in the wind, covering the stars and moon, and scattering thousands of divine lights.
And in the center of countless heavenly soldiers and generals, under the fierce banner, a black armored and silver armored general, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, with a heroic appearance and vertical eyes between his eyebrows, stood in the sky.
"Yes...it's Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun..."
"It's really Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun..."
"Erlang Xiansheng, the True Monarch, has appeared..."
"Grandpa Erlang appeared..."
"Quickly...kneel down quickly and pay homage to Grandpa Erlang..."
"Meet Grandpa Erlang..."
"Meet Grandpa Erlang..."
…
The divine general standing on the head of the clouds was the same as the image of Erlang Subduing the Demon in the piece "Erlang Subdues the Demon" performed by the Weiyan Opera Troupe today. Therefore, everyone recognized the divine general and immediately hurriedly bowed down to him, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. .
Except Ye Qing.
I saw Ye Qing folding his arms, looking up at the Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals and Erlang Xiansheng True Monarch in the sky, thoughtfully.
"Today, according to the decree of the Emperor of Heaven, I am going to the lower world to capture the demon."
Suddenly, the Erlang Xian Sheng True Monarch in the air spoke, with a voice like thunder and eyes like lightning. He raised his hand and pointed at Ye Qing: "That monster of mine, why don't you hurry up and catch me!"
Hearing this, people around
The people looked panic-stricken, crawling on the ground and running away as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions, as if Ye Qing was really that man-eating and cruel monster.
"Sure enough, he came for me."
Ye Qing was unmoved, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. He just watched Erlang Subduing the Demon today, and in the evening Erlang Xian Sheng, the True Monarch, appeared. How could such a coincidence happen in this world.
Besides, the ancient heaven has been destroyed long ago and the gods have gone into hiding. Where did this bullshit Erlang come from to show his true sage?
