Chapter 92 The Lantern and the Drift Bottle
The Lantern Festival is the first festival after New Year's Eve. Because the curfew was not imposed on this night, the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials and the people were having fun. I had long heard that the Lantern Festival in the capital was lively, so Liu Qingfeng and Zhang Yi had already made an appointment to enjoy the lanterns together at night. Liu Qingfeng was used to listening to the stories of the library's romantic love, and said that maybe there would be a romantic encounter tonight. Isn't that a great joy in life?
It was fine in the morning, so I went to Tianshi Mansion to chat with Taoist Qingyun and Taoist Child for a while. When the little Taoist Child saw me, she called me the uncle of the little master. I said it was not your uncle, and I did not take the three civil servants as my master, but the little Taoist Child didn't listen and said one by the little master, which made me a little depressed.
Taoist Qingyun was going to the palace tonight. On New Year's Eve, Emperor Ming was seriously injured and kept recuperating in the palace. However, the luck of the shocked formation was stolen, which made Taoist Qingyun quite a headache.
I have always been curious about Monk Hu Lai. What is his relationship with Wu Mochou, Lingshu Palace? So I asked Master Qingyun’s origin.
Taoist Master Qingyun said that Monk Hu Lai was one of the few masters in the world when he was with the three customs. However, he later had an indescribable love entanglement with Wu Mochou. Later, he became a monk and became a monk in the reclining Buddha Temple. When the former emperor was in power, he became the master of the current emperor. So that night, Hu Lai went to rescue Wu Mochou, but the emperor did not stop him.
I said that the masters in the world should not be like you and the Taomu Sword God, who are pure and unrestrained and immortal. Why do the masters I know are all vulgar, lustful, and lazy? Taoist Master Qingyun smiled and said that they have long been out of the world. How dare I guess their behavior?
After leaving Tianshi Mansion, I went to the grocery store to buy some candles, Kongming lanterns, lanterns, etc., and prepared for the cost of the night. Just as I was about to go back, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the shop next door, so I stood at the door for a while, but I heard the voice of a middle-aged man coming from inside.
All of them died and my subordinates were not doing their jobs properly. Please ask the two guardians to punish them.
An old man said, "A group of wastes, even a half-disabled traitor can't stand it. What's the use of you?"
The middle-aged man said, "The traitor stole the holy objects of this religion and threatened them with holy objects. We dare not use heavy hands, for fear of damaging the holy objects, so we have some concerns."
The old man said, the saint will arrive soon, you can apologize for your own crimes later.
The middle-aged man said, the saint's mind is unpredictable, and I hope the two guardians will save me.
Another sarcastic man said, "The Lord of the Left Hall has failed to protect the treasure, and I dare not speak up for you easily."
The man called the Lord Zuo said that this is the 5,000 taels of silver I saved in the capital, and I hope the two guardians will accept it with a smile.
The old man said, "You are still tactful." Although the saint has a bad temper, she is still a girl after all. I think I'll give me two old men a thin face."
At this time, I heard a woman's delicate voice, yes, this time the aura of shocking formation spread into the world, and my holy teachings re-entered the treasures in the Central Plains, and I was thinking of reorganizing the game, so this happened. The two guardians had a great face.
Only two old men were heard kneeling and kowtowing, welcoming the saint to the capital.
I was shocked. Holy Sect? Holy Maiden? Has the Demon Sect rekindled again? For a hundred years, the God of Shocking Formation was established. The Demon Sect was driven out of the Central Plains by Lu Zu. In less than half a month, it appeared in the capital again?
The woman called the Saint said coldly, "What should I be guilty of protecting the treasure of the Left Hall Master?
The two guardians probably collected the money and said that the traitor was cunning and slandered. Although the Lord Zuo was responsible, he could not blame him all.
The saint said, have you collected the money and even forgot the rules? As soon as the voice fell, the left Lord’s struggled and begged for mercy came, and the breath disappeared in an instant.
Hearing a long roar from afar, the saint said, "There is news from Lord Liu, why don't you go quickly?" He said that a few people here left the shop and rushed away. I was walking out of the shop, but I saw a red dress with two guardians leaving. A few dozen feet away, the woman in red pawned and looked back.
The woman who thought I was so beautiful, but saw a cold light coming. I was shocked and grabbed a shovel at the door to protect the door. I heard three dings, and the shovel was pierced by three silver needles, leaving only a small piece outside.
What a vicious woman. If I hadn't been quick to react, these three needles would have taken my life. It was indeed unpredictable for people in the Demon Sect to act.
When we returned to the escort agency, Liu Qingfeng and Zhang Yi had already changed into green long gowns. Zhang Yi was holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a young man. When he saw me, he asked, Brother Qin, look at me so handsome, will there be a girl chasing me at night? I said, don’t worry, I will find a place to vomit for a while.
Liu Qingfeng said, let’s agree that I will come first when I meet a beautiful girl. Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly, that’s a must. Brother Liu is going to do it, and I can only watch it. I can’t stand the two of them flatter each other, so I go back to the class room to clean up the things.
On the tree, at the willows, after dusk, Zhang Yi shook his fan and recited a poem. Liu Qingfeng squeezed around the crowd. Seeing a beautiful woman, he rubbed over and took advantage of her, causing a scolding. But the two laughed happily.
When we arrived at Qinglong Bridge, we saw a group of people laying lanterns. We took out the prepared lanterns and put them out bored. At this time, a little boy took a few bottles and said that he was the big brothers and even putting lanterns, which were all out of date. Try this?
Liu Qingfeng looked at the bottle, what kind of broken thing, what is the use?
The little boy said that this thing is a drifting bottle, the most popular artifact in Beijing this year. Write your message in the bottle. Maybe a girl downstream picks it up and will have a romantic encounter.
Liu Qingfeng and Zhang Yi's eyes shining when he heard this. How did he sell such a treasure?
The little boy said, fifty-month one.
Zhang Yi said that it was just this ragged thing, and it was fifty cents per person. Are you robbing money? The little boy said whether to buy it or not. Look at how many young men over there are putting drift bottles on it.
Liu Qingfeng said, it’s only three for one hundred cents. The price is just set.
The little boy smiled bitterly and said, "They always cut prices in half, and this elder brother is bargaining according to his ankles, but the three elder brothers are obviously rich and powerful, so I will bear the pain and give up love."
After getting the drift bottle, Liu Qingfeng and Zhang Yi borrowed red paper and pen and ink, what should I write?
The little boy said that I have ready-made templates here to increase the chance of success, but it also costs money.
Liu Qingfeng asked, what is the price?
The little boy stretched out a finger, and he put it in a set of 100 texts!
Zhang Yi was about to bargain, but Liu Qingfeng said that it was settled, Zhang Yi, you don’t pay. The boy took the money and immediately escaped. The two of them glanced at the template, picked two and copied it.
I looked at the drifting bottle in my hand, thought for a while, and wrote a sentence: Murong Qiushui, wait for me to go to Jiangnan to marry you in April this year.
Then the three of them threw the drift bottle into the river. Because of this drift bottle, Zhang Yi and Liu Qingfeng really caused two marriages, but I almost suffered a murder. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a woman from the nanny across the river, accompanied by her guards, who was not Jia Ming? After she put the lanterns, she left Qinglong Bridge under the escort of several people.
