Chapter 65: The Great Festival, Rei Taichi
The sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns that Dongzhou City had hung in advance were lit up one after another.
There were more and more pedestrians on the street. Some people who did not come during the day also left their homes and came to Dongzhou City after completing the custom of welcoming Zi Gu at home.
Folk legend has it that Zi Gu was a kind but poor girl who married a concubine and was envied by the first wife. She eventually died of illness on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because she was always ordered by the first wife to do some dirty things related to the toilet when she was alive, she had the job of toilet god.
Since then, the folks in Zhuxia have had the custom of welcoming Zi Gu on the Lantern Festival. On this day, the women in the family would insert willow branches on the door, clean the house, set up a table and burn incense, and chatter about personal matters like chatting with close friends in the boudoir, mostly about the affairs of girls or women.
Women would also affectionately call Zi Gu “Miss Zi” or “Miss Qi”. When offering sacrifices, they would not say official words, but would call out in plain language, “Please come to my house, Miss.”
This custom gradually formed after the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the pre-civilization era, but later gradually declined. Now, under the deliberate guidance of Nuwa at the beginning of the new era, many of these extinct customs have reappeared in this ancient land.
Dongzhou City is bustling, and Li Mochou naturally would not be content to stay in the East Palace, so she dragged Huang Rong into the city early. 507 The two of them are beautiful and should have attracted attention, but most of the people who participated in the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival would wear various masks on themselves, which allowed the two to completely let go and have fun.
Shen Xingke also put on a Nuo mask that covered the right half of his cheek. Mu Nianci, who was also wearing a mask and carefully holding Xiaolongnu, walked along the streets of Dongzhou City.
“It’s so lively here, young master.”
In her eyes, the people of Dongzhou City had a style that she didn’t know how to describe, and she had never seen it anywhere before.
That was the vitality that people naturally exuded from the inside out when they believed that there was a god’s blessing here, so they didn’t have to worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters. They also had the gods’ grace to bestow all kinds of wonderful methods, and they had a goal to live every day.
Shen Xingke walked among the crowd, and the invisible and intangible force field around him made people unconsciously keep a distance from him and Mu Nianci to avoid collision.
How was it? How did Taiyi God feel when he traveled to the human world and saw with his own eyes that the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment?
The voice of Nuwa sounded in his mind, causing Shen Xingke to shake his head slightly.
“It’s far from being a place where we can live and work in peace and contentment, not to mention that it’s just a small corner of Zishan. When the whole world can be like this, it won’t be too late to talk about this.”
“Besides, it’s the witches who govern here, and Pei Xiu has also contributed a lot. I’ve never been involved in anything.”
Your existence itself is the most important, or in other words, the fact that Taiyi God really exists is the core of Dongzhou City’s stable development.
Shen Xingke didn’t refute this.
Suddenly, cheers resounding through the sky came from the front.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Taiyi is worshipped, the grand ceremony finally began.
Shen Xingke gently embraced Mu Nianci’s slender waist, and took Xiaolongnu with him, and the three of them disappeared silently in the crowd.
When they appeared again, they were already on the roof of the Taiyi Temple.
The optical invisibility force field was turned on, and no one knew that the Taiyi God, who was respected by the world, was standing on the roof and watching them.
The newly built Taiyi Temple was located on a high stone platform, and there was a long staircase extending downward in front of the gate.
At this time, the incense table had been placed on the high platform.
Countless people gathered and crowded the wide street at the end of the steps.
The witches were divided into two sides, each holding a torch, and there were maids standing at intervals, holding lanterns.
Pei Xiu, who had been prepared, stood at the front of the team, wearing an official robe, raised his hand to adjust the official hat on his head, shook his long sleeves, took a square step, looked up at the incense table above, and walked up slowly.
His appearance seemed inappropriate to some corrupt scholars, but countless people had witnessed the miracle of Taiyi, so no one dared to say anything.
The left and right palace masters were just paying homage, and the one who presided over the sacrifice was still the Taiyi Spirit Girl, not the palace master himself, which made sense – someone in the crowd convinced himself so.
As Pei Xiu climbed onto the high platform, two teams of people followed closely, one on the left and one on the right.
The left row was a witch, and the right row was actually officials of the governor’s office, followed by several Taoist priests from Taiyi Temple!
Xu Xuanzi was so excited that he almost missed a step. He spent a lot of effort and made a scene before he got the approval from the Palace Master and the Spiritual Girl, and had the opportunity to officially participate in the grand ceremony.
“This old Taoist priest is quite interesting.”
On the roof, Shen Xingke saw Xu Xuanzi at a glance, and his mouth curled up. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He asked Fengyunqi to choose ten people. Although he said that he would act according to her wishes, it was impossible for him to really ignore it from beginning to end.
During this period, Shen Xingke himself was also secretly observing the situation of the entire Dongzhou City and the surrounding towns through the black bird, and Xu Xuanzi was naturally known to him unknowingly.
Nuwa suddenly appeared beside Shen Xingke, shaking her head and saying: “The Great God Taiyi has transformed into thousands of bodies, and the Taoist immortal inheritance must naturally be passed down by you, the master. Have you chosen the target?”
“How is your iteration going?” Shen Xingke did not answer, but asked another question.
Nuwa rolled her eyes: “Don’t underestimate me. Combining the inner family skills that the master searched for, I did 780 million simulations and deductions, and finally got a set of basic entry-level skills for secular, Taoist, and Buddhist.” []
“I have also reserved room for further improvement. As long as the master can collect some more skills that exceed the level of the Condor Heroes, I can immediately deduce and connect them.”
This is the limitation of Nuwa.
She was not designed to do this kind of work.
There are limitations in the underlying logical thinking.
It is no problem for her to do scientific research.
Based on the existing data, she can deduce a more comprehensive and optimized version of the same level.
The method of cultivation is barely passable, but it is impossible to innovate and take the cultivation to a higher level, or even to deduce the Fengyun level or even higher level skills from the skills of the Condor Heroes plane…
That is impossible.
In short, Nuwa is suitable for calculations and is good at auxiliary work within the existing technical scope, but it is difficult for her to make achievements in innovation.
Everything depends on Shen Xingke.
And Shen Xingke also bowed to his Xuanguang Pei.
All the offerings have been placed on the incense table one by one, and Pei Xiu bowed three times and retreated.
And the Fengyun Qi that had been prepared long ago finally appeared in front of the world.
The witches carried a huge sedan chair, and Fengyun Qi sat on it, passing through the passage that the crowd consciously made way for, and came to the bottom of the long steps. .
