Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 126
In Dongping City, the big show begins.

But Su Wen, the main character, was not there.

Not only because it's only early in the morning, and he hasn't come to the scene of his storytelling, but also because...

Three hundred miles outside Dongping County, there is another county called Donghe.

This county borders the Anyang River and is located in the east, so it is called the Donghe River, just like Dongping County where Su Wen is located is located on a plain with open terrain, so it is called Dongping.

Donghe County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with outstanding people, rich products, and water and dry road transportation, pinching the transportation of Anyang Prefecture and even Mengzhou. It is located in a key point, and the business exchanges are extremely prosperous. It is the leading county in Anyang Prefecture.

Today is February [-]nd, the dragon is raising its head, Donghe County is extremely lively, especially the Donghe Wharf built along the Anyang River. They sang loudly.

The wharf also stopped working today, and it was converted into a big market, a big temple fair, and all kinds of stalls were set up. People from inside and outside the city also gathered here to catch a big fair, join in the fun, watch the theater troupe, and Can catch up with the dragon head festival.

In the market, there is a tea stand.

A table with four benches, Su Wen sat in the center, and on the left and right were Qiao Daoqing and Dai Zongfanrui dressed in normal clothes.

Outside the tea stalls and in the streets, pedestrians and traffic are busy, creating a hustle and bustle of the city.

suddenly……

"Let me go!"

"The Great Dragon King is coming!"

With the sound of a drum, pedestrians lined up the road.

Su Wen followed the prestige, and saw a team, all dressed in white clothes and scarves, wearing linen and filial piety, walking slowly from the street.

In the middle of the procession is a stone sculpture of the Dragon King with a dragon head and a human body, which is carried by eight majestic men with their upper bodies naked and white scarves on their heads.

This stone sculpture is five or six people tall, and it seems to weigh no less than ten thousand catties, but eight men can carry it steadily without any difficulty, which is really surprising.

"This is the Great Dragon King of the White Lotus Sect?"

"It's so tall and big, at least tens of thousands of catties?"

"The Great Dragon King, which weighs tens of thousands of catties, can these eight people lift it?"

"You think they are ordinary people, but they are the white lotus wrestlers of the White Lotus Sect, each of them has a huge strength of ten thousand catties!"

"Every year on February [-], when the dragon raises its head, they will invite the Dragon King out of the temple and carry it to the Anyang River for a dragon head sacrifice. After the sacrifice, they will invite the Dragon King back. This will ensure a year of good weather in Donghe County. .”

"It's not just Donghe County, the Anyang River runs through Anyang Mansion. As long as the Anyang River is in good weather, the whole Anyang Mansion will be in good weather. Therefore, this February [-] Dragon Head Festival, even the nobles in Anyang Mansion value it very much."

"The White Lotus Sect is really a living immortal Buddha with extraordinary magic powers. Ever since the White Lotus Sect opened an altar in our Donghe County, our Donghe County has lived a peaceful life. The demons and ghosts that used to be troubled have disappeared."

"Isn't it? The Bailian sect is full of Taoist and Buddhist dual cultivators. The sect is full of virtuous and eminent monks. Those demons dare to make trouble in front of them. On the contrary, I heard that a demon Taoist came to Dongping recently, and his mana is very powerful. Not to mention smashing the Bailian sub-altar in Dongping County, they also smashed into Anyang Mansion, and injured Master Bai Fozi."

"Is there such a thing?"

"That monster is so powerful that even Master Bai Fozi is no match for him?"

"That's right, that demon way is really powerful, Master Bai Fozi is no match for him, so we can only give up the Dongping Dojo."

"The people of Dongping are miserable now. Without the suppression and protection of the White Lotus Sect, I don't know how many monsters and ghosts will appear."

"That monster... the Taoist priest can injure Master Bai Fozi, and his mana must be very powerful. With him in charge, there shouldn't be any ghosts and ghosts who dare to make trouble in Dongping County, right?"

"Hmph, what do you know, that demon way is not like Master Bai Fozi, who doesn't care about the life and death of us ordinary people, he must be taking care of his own cultivation, so he doesn't care about any demons and ghosts making trouble."

Everyone talked about it, from the Dragon King to the Dragon Head Festival, from the Dragon Head Festival to Anyang Mansion, from Anyang Mansion to Bailianzong, and from Bailianzong to Dongping County.

Su Wen listened to the discussion while sipping tea.

Five Lotus Sect, White Lotus Sect!
It's a group of evil cultivators.

But for some reason, they attach great importance to folk incense and people's beliefs, and they spare no effort to set up branch altars in Mengzhou. Doing good deeds, even subduing demons and eliminating demons, protecting the environment and the people, so they won the hearts of the people, and many believers spread all over the village.

But this is just the common people's opinion of Pope Wulian.

People of insight are completely different about this. They all think that the Five Lotus Sect is ambitious and has great plans, otherwise it would never win over the hearts of the people.

In addition, the reputation of the Five Lotus Sect in the cultivation world is also mixed. From time to time, some people spread the news that the Five Lotus Sect is an evil cultivator, and they even perform human sacrifices and blood offerings, and they have produced considerable evidence.

But the Five Lotus Sect doesn't recognize it, or ignore it. If a cultivator comes to denounce it, the literary one will be sent to greet him politely, and the martial one will judge the superiority with fists and feet. No matter what, they will not hurt people's lives, at most they will drive them away.

Therefore, the reputation of the Five Lotus Sect is very strange. Some people suspect it, some admire it, some avoid it, some people yearn for it, some regard it as the orthodox orthodox, ten thousand families give birth to Buddha, some people regard it as evil devil heretics, evil ghosts. brake.

But none of this can shake Su Wen's opinion.

The Five Lotus Sect is by no means a good thing, otherwise how could it engage in ritual sacrifices.

The question now is what their purpose is, and what is the attitude of the various forces in Mengzhou towards them.

There is an unusual aura here.

All forces in Mengzhou, including the Great Zhou court and the local government, seemed to be indulging in the development of the Five Lotus Sect intentionally or unintentionally.

This is a trip into muddy waters.

Su Wen didn't want to get involved, but he was in Mengzhou, so he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.

Not to mention the existence of the Five Lotus Sect, which seriously hindered his storytelling career.

When he entered Dongping County, Qiao Daoqing and Lu Junyi played a good show, wiping out all the messy forces in Dongping County. In the end, he let Qiao Daoqing kill him in Anyang Mansion, and killed Bai Lianzong, the altar master of the White Lotus Sect in Anyang Mansion. Fozi was defeated brazenly, and successfully made Bailianzong bow his head, withdraw from Dongping territory, and assign this county to Qiao Daoqing as the Taoist site.

Everything seems to be going well.

But it's just what it seems.

Su Wen ignored one issue, that is the prestige of the White Lotus Sect among the people.

The prestige of the White Lotus Sect among the people is too high, it can be said that it is almost like a god, a living Buddha, Su Wen forced the White Lotus Sect to leave, and after occupying Dongping County, the people of Dongping County were very dissatisfied. After several riots by the common people, not only the Jinlin Gate that attacked Lu Junyi, but also Qiao Daoqing's side.

Not only that, the common people are also very resistant to the theater troupe he opened in the name of Jinlinmen. Even if Su Wen implemented a series of measures such as tax reduction and price reduction, the common people are not willing to come to praise him. Those who are not interested in the Five Lotus Sect and the White Lotus Sect.

Although people from all walks of life are also human beings, listening to books and watching operas have the same aura, but the number is not as large as that of the common people. If the common people do not come to Su Wen, their business will naturally be affected.

Fortunately, various discounts have been held for more than two months, and a group of customers have been attracted to some extent. When the troupe first opened two months ago, there was really no one.

If it's just like this, then it's fine, but Bailianzong is still not reconciled, unwilling to just give up Dongping, all kinds of small tricks are constantly being made, and recently they have stretched out their tentacles to deepen the temptation.

So, Su Wen came to Donghe County.

The White Lotus Sect tried him, so he naturally had to return the favor, probe the opponent's background and intentions, and prepare early.
