Chapter 73
The Hundred Flowers Festival was cancelled, and most of the Taicang people's fun was gone.
The girls from all over the country who stayed in Taicang City actually promoted the prosperity of business, making the already lively Taicang City even more lively.
However, several major events have occurred in Taicang City in the past few days.
First, the serving prefect of Taicang and more than 30 officials under him were disposed of, leaving the position of prefect of Taicang City vacant.
Second, a shocking secret was revealed during the Hundred Flowers Festival. It turned out that the prefect organized such a festival to select girls for the emperor.
Once this incident was exposed, people around Taicang City were in panic. Married daughters from all over the country were marrying off their daughters, and those who were robbing their husbands were robbing their was afraid that his daughter would be chosen to go to the Imperial Capital to serve the 300-year-old emperor.
In addition, a child abduction case that had been silent for many years was solved. Monsters were involved in the case, and many strange people were wanted.
As soon as the news came out, Tai Cang was in an uproar , there were so many secrets in this kind of case, which also made the residents of Taicang City more wary of the acrobats who came and went.
Naturally, it was Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang who revealed the inside story of the Hundred Flowers Festival. After the two of them worked together, they decided to make a conspiracy.
Yangmou was to inform Taishen Palace Su Mu about what the prefect had done.
The conspiracy is to secretly spread the truth and let the public know what the Hundred Flowers Festival is for.
Gradually, there was a rumor in Taicang City.
It is said that the top ten people originally selected for the Hundred Flowers Festival were favored by the prefect, but one of them was a fairy. She held a banquet and solved the prefect's conspiracy, and finally saved the ten girls.
This was also confirmed by several other girls who attended the banquet. For a while, relatives who had daughters attending the Flower Festival were all grateful to this it was spread that the woman's name was Lu Xueqi and she was from Qingzhou.
So to show their gratitude, the people erected a statue of the girl, calling her the Lady Lu, who rescued those in distress.
When Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang passed by the stone statue, Li Yunshang smiled and bent patted Jiang Wen's shoulder and joked: "I didn't expect this Fairy Lu to be so beautiful. I really hope to meet her."
"Noisy." Jiang Wen replied didn't feel embarrassed about this matter. After all, as long as he stopped changing, others wouldn't know he was Lu 's more, this incident brought him a lot of benefits, not only [-] merit points, but even [-] incense points.
This inexplicable value of incense made Jiang Wen a little confused. It was only after he saw the statue that he realized that the value of incense came from here.
This also gave Jiang Wen, who was about to be barren, a good meal, and he felt a lot more at ease in his heart.
"There must be more big events like this." Jiang Wen sighed.
At this moment, Jiang Wen and his party had already left Tai Cang by the waterway, head towards Yangzhou.
The sails along the way were densely packed, and compared to their journey from Jingxu to Taicang, it was extremely lively.
Because there was no shortage of gold and silver, everyone took a first-class passenger Xiang and Shu Xiang had already started practicing. When they learned the story behind the Hundred Flowers Festival, Mo Xiang's face turned girl had never thought that there was such a big trap, so she didn't even come back to her senses now.
The time on the boat was boring. Apart from watching videos and watching TV series, Li Yunshang taught the two girls how to practice.
Jiang Wen also took this opportunity to peek into Master Taixuan's storage bag. There were a mountain of books in it, but there weren't many treasures he wanted.
Although there are monks in this world, there are few jade stones that can store skills like he of the exercises are stored in the form of books. Without the guidance of the master, it is difficult to understand the things on them.
Jiang Wen had Li Yunshang's guidance, so he learned everything may also be another advantage of monks. Photographic memory is only the foundation, and the ability to learn from one example is extremely strong. This is the confidence that monks can stand at the at the books left behind by Master Taixuan, Jiang Wen gained some understanding of some secrets about Daqian.
He had previously wondered how there could be Taoist priests in this world since there was no I glanced at this book today, I learned that humanity was in decline in the ancient era, and the rise of humanity was destined to rise when the Human Emperor opened the is said that there are immortals who preach and call themselves preaches in the Sumeru realm, and anyone who is predestined can listen to it.
Practitioners who start here are known as monks.
Although Taoism was not as popular in his world, there was still a way to practice once discussed Tao with Chang Mingzi, and the other party also mentioned what Tao think that although there is no Taoism in this world, there are still people who practice the Tao.
Later, the immortal sect prospered, and the titles of ascetics and ascetics gradually spread.
Then when Buddhism emerged, the Immortal Sect was in Taoists preach to the secular world, they also have the title of Taoist priests and real people.
But when Jiang Wen looked at these rumors, he felt a sense of déjà the history there, it seems that there were times when Buddhism was prosperous and Taoism was in decline.
"What on earth is going on?" Jiang Wen closed the book and was confused.
He asked Li Yunshang, but the girl couldn't couldn't figure out the reason for this, so he didn't think about it any more.
Looking at the statue with his spiritual consciousness, Jiang Wen suddenly discovered that there was a phantom beside the phantom looked very familiar, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his transformed female body.
"...What's going on? Could it be that every idol that received incense can be transformed into me?" He speculated on the origin of the phantom, but felt a little baffled.
After observing for a long time, the phantom seemed to be there but not seemed that it would disappear at any time, and there was no response when he touched it with his consciousness. Jiang Wen could only put it aside for the time being.
After walking along the waterway for a few more days, Yangzhou will be just around the corner.
Different from Qingzhou, Yangzhou is a vast and flat fertile soil here is thousands of miles away, and you can see thousands of miles of water and land intersect, and farming is a pleasant experience.
The prosperity of Yangzhou is due to its terrain and its is also because it is one of the granaries of Daqian.
There are ten large cities, three hundred small cities, and countless others.
The people in Yangzhou are denser than those in Qingzhou, and merchants carrying burdens can be seen everywhere.
The further you go inside, the more you can see the prosperity of to Li Yunshang, the annual taxes paid by Yangzhou are ten times that of Qingzhou.
It's obviously just separated by a mountain range, but the gap is so huge.
"As long as I pass Yangzhou, I will have a way to go directly to Ningzhou. Then I won't have to travel so hard." Li Yunshang looked at the map and said. "I have spent these days on the water. When we arrive at Yangzhou City ahead, I will treat you well."
Just as he was talking, the ship suddenly felt a shaking, and then like an earth dragon turning over, the whole ship suddenly overturned.
Jiang Wen prepared to protect the two girls, but saw that Li Yunshang had already used magic weapons to protect them.
Feeling a little relieved, the whole person fell into the water.
The boat broke apart and countless people struggled in the Wen held his breath and prepared to save people. He saw a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him from the bottom of the river.
