However, before the group of people could get closer, the young monk who had caught Li Xiuyuan up the mountain shouted and drove everyone to the back of the square, next to the woods.
Li Xiuyuan felt happy, thinking that this was good, as it kept the craftsmen away from the main hall, and even further away from the towering statue.
Before the hour arrived, the square was already bustling with people.
Directly in front of the square, a high platform was set up in front of the statue.
There was a young female monk on the high platform introducing the guests who came to watch the ceremony today.
What Li Xiuyuan didn't expect was that among the guests were monks from Silla Kingdom and swordsmen from Yingzhou, but no one came from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.
It seems that Penglai is located on the sea, and the Central Plains monks are afraid that no one knows about it.
Li Xiuyuan has no interest in the guests on the high platform. In his opinion, if someone really takes action, few people who come to watch the ceremony will dare to stand up and help.
Watching the ceremony is just to join in the fun and ask for some benefits from the master. If we really get into trouble, who is willing to risk his life to fight for the master?
It's just a bunch of ragtag people who gathered on this island and want to be king. It's ridiculous.
But he didn't expect that the discussion on the high platform would soon involve a group of craftsmen.
I saw a female monk who called herself Penglai Fairy and a tall and thin old man asked: "Mr. Park, I wonder how our head's statue compares with your Silla country's statue?"
Wearing a black shirt, Pu Jiangfeng from Silla Kingdom is already in the middle stage of distraction and can be regarded as a great monk on the high platform.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Silla is located on the sea and there are strong winds all year round. Naturally, there will be no such towering statues."
In fact, he was sneering in his heart: "Are you stupid or really stupid? Penglai is also on the sea. Does such a tall statue attract wind or thunder?"
As a guest, he naturally didn't say much and just muttered in his heart.
Fairy Penglai in a green dress smiled faintly and said blessing to another middle-aged monk who was slightly fatter: "Mr. Xu is from Yingzhou. I wonder what the customs are like there?"
The middle-aged monk dressed as a scholar is actually Xu Caiyuan from Yingzhou. The monk is a few points taller than the old man and is already at the ninth level of distraction.
It seems that it won't be long before I can break through another level.
The calm Xu Caiyuan glanced at the woman and replied: "Yingzhou is not much different from Silla Kingdom. Such statues are indeed rare."
Like the old man, even the middle-aged scholar who saw the threshold also scolded the head of Penglai for being mentally ill.
On the top of the mountain, there was heavy wind and heavy rain. If you were not careful, you would be struck by a bolt of thunder.
By then, I'm afraid even the main hall will be implicated.
But as a guest attending the ceremony, he naturally understood that the crowd carrying the sedan chair would not look away from the beautiful woman in front of him.
Only Li Xiuyuan, who was standing in the crowd, understood what the two were thinking.
He sneered secretly in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He wants to wait.
Fairy Penglai was secretly happy, thinking that the master would be happy after hearing this.
While ordering the maid to bring the spiritual tea, he said: "By consecrating this statue today, the master hopes to use the power of all living beings to knock on the Feixian Tianmen."
The old man Pu Jiangfeng picked up the spiritual tea in front of him, lowered his head and took a sip without saying anything.
Xu Yuancai from Yingzhou echoed: "If we can really soar in the daytime on this consecration day, it will be an eye-opener for us?"
Pu Jiangfeng thought for a while, looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "That's true."
In fact, he also wanted to know why on a day when the spring breeze was just right and the sun was shining, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky and blocked the sun that had just climbed into the sky.
And Xu Yuancai wants to know even more, with such thick clouds, it would be difficult for your leader, even a god, to ascend, right?
There were dozens of monks from two different countries. Seeing the appearance of the leading elder on the high platform, they were also talking softly below.
In this kind of weather, it might rain soon.
Choose to ascend during the Qingming Festival? Are you planning to die?
Fairy Penglai didn't expect that this was a good day. The sun was still shining brightly when she woke up in the morning. Why were there suddenly dark clouds rolling in?
It's just that she can't make the decision in this matter. This is a date that has been decided by the head, and no one dares to say anything more.
I can only hope for a miracle to happen soon.
The old man from Silla didn't seem to expect to face such a situation. He turned to look at Xu Yuancai and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
After speaking, he pointed at the dark clouds in the sky and smiled.
Xu Yuancai looked at Fairy Penglai and said, "I have to ask Fairy about this. By the way, when will your master come?"
Xu Yuancai, who had already seen the threshold, thought to himself that he was also a guest from afar. He had been sitting here for half an hour without seeing the owner, so he was inevitably a little depressed.
Fairy Penglai smiled and replied: "The master is about to take a bath and change clothes, and prepare for a ceremony."
Xu Yuancai stopped asking her questions after hearing this, and immediately started chatting quietly with the old man Pu Jiangfeng beside him. The two of them drank tea while pointing to the sky and whispering.
But this moment made Li Xiuyuan, who was standing in the crowd, furious.
It turns out that the leader here is actually the disciple of the old Taoist priest who stayed on Qingniu Mountain, a middle-aged Taoist named Niu Sanduo.
"If you don't know how to teach, don't accept a disciple! If you don't know how to teach, I will teach for you!"
Thinking of the old Taoist priest who had ascended and left, Li Xiuyuan was filled with anger.
What was a wonderful paradise was turned into a lair for bandits and robbers by the treasured apprentice of an old Taoist priest.
Today, let me chop down your tall building with one sword!
Li Xiuyuan, who had long wanted to cause trouble, was just waiting for the evil master to show up. Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a disciple of the old Taoist priest.
It seems that Qingyu really wants to see the wrong person on Qingniu Mountain, and she is truly wrong.
However, he must pay for the mistakes he made back then one by one today.
Not only that, he wants to destroy this place with one sword, drive all these guys out, and make this a forbidden place, a forbidden place where no one can stay.
Xiaobao held Li Xiuyuan's hand nervously: "Sir, what are those people up there going to do?"
Li Xiuyuan calmly replied: "They are waiting for the bad guys from Penglai to show up."
Xiaobao nodded and asked, "Sir, when can we go home?"
Li Xiuyuan sneered and replied: "Waiting for the statue to fall, waiting for the hall to turn into ruins, waiting to throw all these evil people into the sea."
Xiaobao thought for a while and replied: "It seems a bit of a pity. Grandpa and the others have been busy for a long time."
Li Xiuyuan touched his head and said: "Some things should not have appeared in Penglai Island, just like some people should have died long ago... It was all the fault of the gentleman."
Xiaobao suddenly stopped talking.
In his heart, the husband is like a god. Since the husband wants to destroy Grandpa Hou's palace, then let's destroy it.
Right now, he just wants to go home early. He hasn't played with his friends in the village for two years.
Looking at the guests on the high platform, Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "They are just watching the excitement and don't think it's a big deal."
The old man Pu Jiangfeng on the high platform looked up at the sky and couldn't help but frown.
Fairy Penglai, who was standing by, asked, "The hour has arrived. Isn't the auspicious time you decided to be noon?"
If you dare to ask me to sit here and wait until noon, I will slap my ass and leave immediately. Whoever is willing to wait can just continue to stay here and enjoy the breeze.
I can see the sea breeze howling, and it will start to rain continuously in a short while.
Fairy Penglai couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw it.
He immediately replied with a smile on his face: "That's not possible. The auspicious time set by the leader is at 2:00 p.m., and it should be coming out right now."
Xu Yuancai looked at her and said, "You boss is putting on too much airs. If things don't work out today, wouldn't it be a joke?"
His voice was calm and did not sound mean, but there was a hint of irony between the words, which was very useful to the old man's ears.
Under the high platform, Li Xiuyuan in the crowd smiled lightly.
The thoughts in my heart are moved for a while, I am afraid that these two people will only watch the fun, how can they sacrifice their lives for others? That's fine, it saves you a lot of effort.
Fairy Penglai frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with the performance of the two guests.
The master didn't come out for a long time, but the disciples and guests in the square started chattering and looking at the increasingly thick dark clouds in the sky.
Someone said: "What should I do if it rains soon?"
Someone responded: "Yeah, I just bought this skirt, it's not cheap."
Others whispered: "What if the clouds are too thick and the sky cannot open?"
"Shh, don't talk too much, or the people in Penglai will hear you and cut your tongue."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, then took a small bag of peanuts and handed them to Xiaobao. He pinched a few and started eating them slowly.
Xiaobao lowered his head, smelled the faint fragrance of peanuts, took a bite carefully, and suddenly felt very fond of it.
He squinted his eyes and laughed: "It's better sir, I don't know where these peanuts come from?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "What do you think?" He bought this on the way to Penglai, but he kept forgetting to eat it and didn't want half a year to pass by.
Xiaobao groaned and concentrated on enjoying the peanuts in his hand. After thinking about it, he grabbed a few more and handed them to the grandfather beside him.
The old man trembled, Mr. Xindao was indeed a god.
I've been here for more than half a year, but I still can't see where the peanuts are. I asked them to take them out, so they took them out.
A bell rang, and Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt uneasy.
Pu Jiangfeng picked up the teacup and put it to his lips. He was about to take a sip, but he felt a little uneasy. He frowned and simply put the teacup in his hand on the table.
Xu Yuancai from Yingzhou was quieter than him, presumably because of the three levels of difference in cultivation between the two.
He has already seen the hope of breaking through the realm, and he just came here to witness the Penglai leader's ascension in the daytime, so as to realize his opportunity to break through the realm.
Even though the head of Penglai has not arrived yet, he still looks indifferent and dull, because he knows that the head of Penglai is the most uneasy at the moment.
However, just as the maid served him some spiritual tea, he raised his head.
He patted the old man's hand and said, "Look over there."
The old man Pu Jiangfeng was stunned, followed his gaze, and couldn't help but frown for a moment.
Li Xiuyuan in the crowd clenched his fists even more, wishing he could slash out with his sword right now and destroy this world with one strike!
I saw a few Penglai female disciples suddenly walking out of the main hall slowly, followed at the end was a woman in a plain skirt like snow, with a face as dull as snow. There is no expression...
The woman, who didn't even have any spiritual energy fluctuations on her body, slowly walked up to another high platform with the support of two maids.
The high platform faces the main hall and the huge statue, and is far away from the viewing platform. Obviously, this is the high platform built by the head of Penglai for himself.
At a glance, Li Xiuyuan could even see the woman's flower-like lips, which were still pale even though she had applied red lipstick.
The Penglai disciples in the square were nervous and excited.
Some disciples cheered loudly: "Madam has come out, it's the master's turn next..."
Xu Yuancai, who took a sip from the teacup, sighed softly and put the teacup on the table.
Xiaobao, who was eating happily, suddenly felt that his husband's body was shaking slightly.
I couldn't help but raised my head and asked, "Sir, are you sick?"
