At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights around Penglai Pavilion were lit, and it suddenly became the most lively place in the city. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother, this Dengzhou City is different from other places. The most lively places in the city during the day are Mazu Temple and Chenghuang Temple, while the most lively place at night is Penglai Pavilion, just like Fan Tower in Tokyo."
Shi Qian explained.
"And the Mazu Temple?"
Sun Lei was surprised. In his impression, Mazu's belief should be on the southeast coast, and Dengzhou was definitely in the north.
"Brother, I have inquired about it. Originally, people in Dengzhou only worshiped the Dragon King. Later, as the shipping became smoother, many sailors went to the south and found that people there worshiped Mazu. They said it was extremely effective and could ensure safety at sea. Those in Dengzhou The boatmen went to the south together to bring back a statue of Mazu and build a temple to worship her."
Shi Qian spoke.
"Haha, then Mazu Temple must be the busiest these days."
Sun Lei laughed and said, the city emperor protects the land, and Mazu controls the sea. During this period, the sea route is blocked, so everyone in the city who eats at sea must be begging Mazu for protection.
"Brother is right. Mazu Temple is crowded with people during this period. It is said that there will be a big sacrifice tomorrow, and everyone in the city who eats water and rice will go to worship."
Shi Qian nodded.
"That couldn't have come at a better time!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, the last time it was so lively was the birthday of the Holy Emperor Tianqi on Mount Tai in Dongyue, so it would be nice to watch the Mazu Grand Ceremony like this.
"Let's go to the temple fair together tomorrow?"
Sun Lei looked at Hua Chan and Li Shishi and asked, "Women like to go shopping, regardless of age. This time when we encounter such a big ceremony, the temple fair will definitely be indispensable."
"OK!"
Hua Chan and Li Shishi nodded repeatedly, how could they miss such a lively temple fair.
"Brother, I have an idea."
Li Assistant said with a smile after hearing this.
"Mr. Li, just say whatever you want."
Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu.
"Brother, since the people in this city believe that Mazu can bring peace to the sea, why don't you betray Mazu and give the people in this city a way to survive?"
Li Zhu pointed in the direction of the Mazu Temple in the city and smiled. The lights at the Mazu Temple were still bright, and many people could be seen busy preparing for sacrifices.
"Sir, do you mean to open the sea route?"
Sun Lei pondered for a while and asked, isn't the purpose of tomorrow's sacrifice so that the sea route can be opened as soon as possible?
"Yes, brother, most of the people in Dengzhou live on the sea. A long-term ban on the sea will lead to resentment. The people on the seaside are good at water. With a little organization and training, they can become navy soldiers. If the court takes advantage of this, it will We are at a disadvantage."
"We can't get anything by banning the sea. It's better to open the sea route, just like Liangshanbo, and charge protection fees according to ships. It not only attracts the people, but also creates income and makes the court unavailable. It kills three birds with one stone."
Li Assistant said with a smile.
"Well, Mr. Li's suggestion is good. I still want to give Mazu the face! Let the waiter and the others take the ship around the sea outside Dengzhou tomorrow!"
Sun Lei thought for a moment and agreed. Li Zhu's idea was indeed a great one. People who eat overseas are superstitious. He could just take advantage of this.
Everyone laughed, drank and watched the night view of Dengzhou.
"good!"
Waves of cheers came from Lord Penglai, followed by a burst of ups and downs singing.
"Is this a show?"
Sun Lei looked down from the railing and saw a young man singing on the stage.
"Who is this person?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.
"Brother, this is a small prisoner in the city. His name is Lehe. He is the brother-in-law of Sun Li, who is in charge of military affairs. He is called Iron Caller because he is good at singing. He is quite active in the city and is famous for all kinds of religions. pay."
Shi Qian opened his mouth and said, Dengzhou Prefecture is not a big place, and there are only a few people here who are somewhat famous. He has already found out about them.
"This guy is interesting."
Sun Lei said with a smile, Le He is a simplified version of Yan Qing. He is quick-thinking and can mix among the three religions and nine streams. He is an excellent candidate for a job.
"This song doesn't sound good!"
Master Li said with a smile, she can also sing.
"Haha, everyone is different."
Sun Lei laughed.
There are many types of songs sung in Goulan Wazili. Most of the songs sung by women are charming and enchanting. They are all about sorrow, love and the like, which make men feel itchy and unbearable.
Most of the songs sung by men are narrative, story-based, and can also be fascinating.
After Le He finished singing a song, everyone in the audience cheered non-stop, and some even asked him to sing a song at the Mazu Festival tomorrow.
Lehe smiled and did not refuse directly. The Mazu Festival was not something he could just go on stage if he wanted to. The festival had a process, and every process required the approval of the government.
Lehe continued to sing on the stage, and after singing three songs in a row, he smiled and walked off the stage.
"Is this your nickname Zi Lehe?"
Shi Qian smiled and looked at Le Hedao.
"Exactly, I wonder who this brother is?"
Le He smiled and looked at Shi Qian with his fists in his hands and asked. He didn't know Shi Qian, but he could see that he knew him from Shi Qian's eyes.
"My brother is upstairs. He heard Dele and his brothers singing. I specially invited him to come up and talk."
Shi Qian pointed at Penglai Pavilion and smiled.
"I wonder which hero he is?"
Lehe looked at Shi Qian and asked, pointing to Penglai Pavilion.
"You'll know when you get there!"
Shi Qian made a gesture of invitation. When Lehe saw Shi Qian, he didn't say anything and didn't ask any more questions. This was Dengzhou Prefecture and it was around the lively Penglai Pavilion. He was not afraid of anything happening.
Lehe followed Shi and moved to Penglai Pavilion. He had been to Penglai Pavilion several times, but he always spent money on the lower three floors. The upper level was really not affordable.
"Can you tell me which floor it is on?"
After setting foot on the fourth floor, Le He suddenly had doubts in his heart. The person he invited was actually above the third floor, and looking at Shi Qian, he wanted to continue going up.
"My brother will naturally be on the ninth floor!"
Shi Qian chuckled.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. This statement is a bit unusual in Lehe's ears. Nine is not an ordinary number. Such an emphasis on being on the ninth level can have other understandings.
"Brother Lehe!"
Sun Lei smiled and looked at Lehe walking up to the ninth floor.
"This brother is so cheerful and polite!"
Lehe saw that there were many people on the ninth floor, among them the young Sun Lei was sitting in the main seat, and he bowed his hands to Sun Lei.
"You're welcome, sit down!"
Sun Lei pointed to the empty seat and said to Lehe.
"Thank you very much. Did this brother ask Lehe to come up and help sing?"
Lehe looked at Sun Lei and asked. What he could do well was his singing skills.
"Brothers Lehe have been singing for a long time, so there's no need for today. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Sun Lei in Xia Liangshan!"
Sun Lei looked at Lehe and introduced himself.
"Liangshan Po Sun Lei!"
Lehe's face froze. He never thought that the young man in front of him was the legendary Sun Lei who dominated Liangshanbo.
"Lehe has met brother Sun Lei!"
Lehe quickly stood up and saluted Sun Lei again.
"You're welcome. I just listened to Brother Lehe singing a song. It sounded really good, so I invite Brother Lehe to come up and talk about it."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
