Liu Yu followed the others in line and took a piece of vegetarian rice from the kitchen window sill one by one. The vegetarian rice was placed on a tray in a simple style, including a bowl of white rice, a plate of clear vegetables, a small plate of tofu, and a cup of crude tea.
Everyone's meal is the same, including the temple master Li Yuanfang, and the four deacons of the sect also have four simple meals, no more, no less, and they are all treated the same.
Liu Yu moved forward with the crowd and came to a long table to sit down. The vegetarian meal was placed on the wooden table. I picked up the bamboo chopsticks and took a bite of the white rice. It was crystal clear, soft and delicious, suitable for all ages. It was very good.
Liu Yu picked up a small piece of white tofu, which was tender and juicy in color, and put it into his mouth. It tasted smooth and slightly astringent. Picked up another piece of clear vegetable, it was fresh and refreshing, sour and sweet. A bowl of white rice quickly went into his mouth, and it was a delicious meal for Liu Yu.
The brothers who went to "Bei Luan City" next to Liu Yu might have been hungry for two days, or they had been eating pancakes for two days, but they all ate with gusto. After everyone finished their fast meal, they were taken to Wanshe Hall and arranged in rooms to rest.
Liu Yu sat quietly in the room for an hour, put on a blue Duanjin robe, opened the door, and came to the backyard dojo.
I saw thousands of young citizens in the dojo, including men and women, dressed in different styles, rich and poor, but they all knelt devoutly in front of the huge fairy statue. A solemn middle-aged Taoist stood there. In front of the altar, some kind of ceremony was being held.
At this time, the solemn middle-aged Taoist put three burning incense sticks into the incense burner of the Dharma altar and read loudly: "Immortal Jian Yue is above, all living beings pray sincerely, praying that natural disasters will disappear forever, and the world will not be broken forever." May you be prosperous, your family will be in good health, and your illness will be in good health. May the gods bless you."
The middle-aged Taoist's body floated upward until he was halfway up the immortal statue, dancing lightly on the dust. A Bagua array appeared in the air and rotated at high speed, emitting a dazzling light.
After a few breaths, he flew into the immortal statue. The immortal statue burst out with a strong spiritual power, and the whole body began to glow with a strong radiant light, as if awakening, exuding boundless holiness and majesty.
Thousands of citizens in the dojo couldn't help but kowtow and worship. Even Liu Yu, who was watching from a distance, also felt the urge to pray devoutly in his heart.
Liu Yu quickly used her spiritual power, held her breath and concentrated on the tomb, and quickly woke up. She couldn't help but secretly sighed: "It's amazing!"
The gleaming light radiating from the body of this immortal statue confuses people's minds and throws their minds into chaos. It is very strange that they have a desire to worship the immortal statue. Liu Yu guessed that this immortal statue must not be a mortal thing, so he made careful plans.
At this time, a piece of Kuai Ling Pendant floated above the heads of the people kneeling in the dojo. Thousands of pieces of Ling Pendant shimmered, which was very spectacular. Soon, a ray of white light emerged from the spirit pendant and slowly floated towards the immortal statue. Thousands of rays of white light slowly gathered into a ray of light, and finally flew in from the center of the immortal statue's eyebrows and merged into the immortal statue.
The middle-aged Taoist fell from the sky and spoke to the kneeling people for a while. Then the ceremony ended and thousands of pilgrims gradually evacuated from the dojo.
Liu Yu had nothing to do, so he wandered around Hanyang Taoist Temple. Hanyang Taoist Temple occupies a huge area, with numerous houses and palaces, green bricks and red tiles, spotless, and there are always dedicated people cleaning it at all times.
The backyard is quite quiet, with many banyan trees planted there. Among them are several huge old banyan trees, with roots like dragons and skin like cracked rocks, like an old man stroking his long beard with crisscrossed ravines. The branches are lush and green, covering the sky and the sun. They are probably thousands of years old.
In the front yard of Hanyang Taoist Temple, there are mostly gorgeous palaces. Liu Yu came to the Hanyang main hall. There are three majestic and dignified statues enshrined in the hall, namely Taiqing Taoist, Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, and Arctic Ziwei Emperor. The three gilded statues, which are several feet high, are lifelike and very spectacular.
There is a large courtyard in front of the Hanyang main hall. In the courtyard are two small-sized double-eared unicorn incense burners, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods guarding the Taoist temple.
The incense burner is filled with incense sticks. The incense burners are of different heights and sizes, and are divided into three colors: purple, red and white. They are densely packed. The incense burner is surrounded by pilgrims on both sides. Most of them are common people in simple clothes, holding high two feet of green incense sticks. Squeeze towards the incense burner.
Two Taoist priests carried a ten-foot-high purple incense, separated the crowd, and came to the incense burner. They were followed by a young couple who walked leisurely to the incense burner from the separate corridor. The young couple were dressed in gorgeous clothes. With such extraordinary magnanimity, the civilian pilgrims around him also consciously gave way to a small area of the venue.
The young couple worked together to lift the purple incense and threw it into the Kirin incense burner. The purple incense floated to the middle of the incense burner like a living thing and was inserted into the incense burner. At the same time, the incense head ignited with fire and bursts of purple smoke came out.
The young couple immediately put their hands together and bent down to worship the furnace with extremely pious expressions. After worshiping nine times in a row, they withdrew from the crowd with satisfaction.
Pilgrims kept rushing into the huge Taoist gate of Hanyang Taoist Temple. The main hall of Hanyang was overcrowded and bustling, making people feel breathless. Liu Yu was swayed left and right by the crowd, and unknowingly walked out of the gate of Hanyang Taoist Temple.
Outside the gate of Hanyang Taoist Temple is a square, where many carriages and sedan bearers gathered. Liu Yu went out and wanted to go shopping in the street. From time to time, sedan bearers came up to chat with him. Unable to bear the irritation, Liu Yu simply got into a carriage. The driver of the simple carriage was an old man in his seventies, who looked very honest.
"Mr. Sir, where are you going?" The old man asked with a smile after receiving the job.
"Old man, do you know where in Hanyang city I can buy the best tea?" Liu Yu asked politely.
Liu Yu left all the "Green Spring Tea" he brought back from Yannan City to Tang Hao. As the imperial capital of the Yue Kingdom, Hanyang City should be able to find good tea, so he took advantage of his free time and wanted to go shopping for it. Can you find the right good tea.
"Mr. Lang, are you not from this city?" the old man asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I just arrived in Hanyang City not long ago." Liu Yu said casually.
"Mr. Lang, if you want to find good tea, let's go to Ye Xiang Street. There are tea shops on both sides of the street. You can buy good tea from all over the country." The old man drove the carriage and talked eloquently.
"Then go to Changxiang Street!" Liu Yu sat sideways next to the old man, quite chic, and did not sit in the back compartment.
"Drive!" The old man skillfully controlled the direction of the two old horses and steered the carriage forward steadily on the crowded road. There were people on the road and carriages and horses.
"It's so lively!" Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh,
"Hey~~" The old man pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. Several carriages blocked the road ahead, and the road was filled with pedestrians.
"How come there are so many people like this on weekdays?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask. There were noisy shouts on both sides, asking people in front to get out of the way.
"That's not true. It's not so crowded on weekdays. There are so many people today." The old man said helplessly, and the carriage slowly moved forward with the flow of people.
"Why? Is today a holiday?" Liu Yu asked casually.
"Mr. Lang, didn't you come to the Taoist temple today to offer incense to take a closer look at the fairy ship?" the old man asked.
"Fairy ship?" Liu Yu didn't react at all.
"Hey! You didn't see such a big fairy ship parked above the Taoist temple?" the old man asked sideways.
"Oh, yes, you are right, I am here to see the fairy ship." Liu Yu was awakened and quickly replied.
"Fire Cloud Phoenix" has been parked in the sky above Hanyang Taoist Temple, and Shangguan Ming did not put it away either intentionally or unintentionally.
This caused many idle people in the city to rush to Hanyang Taoist Temple, firstly to worship the fairy, and secondly to admire the elegance of the immortal family's spirit boat, so the road in front of Hanyang Taoist Temple was blocked with people coming and going.
