My wife has a secret

Chapter 268: Festival of Nations

"Why are the entrances and exits of the Buddha Realm closed in advance? If they are closed, how will the new generation of Star Lords get out?"

Hearing Tianquan Star Lord's concerns, Yaoguang Star Lord's mask twitched slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't even mention the new generation of Star Lords. Even we will be locked up here and starved to death."

Although the physiques of these people have undergone mysterious transformation by the Buddhist world and have become different from those of ordinary people, they are able to withstand hunger.

But they are still mortal beings and need to eat to maintain basic physical energy.

"Tongda Cave! It's also closing tightly!"

The speed at which the entrances and exits of the Buddha Realm were closed exceeded the expectations of several people, and there was no time to intervene.

At this moment, Yaoguang Xingjun looked back and was horrified to find that even the passage they came from was filled with some strange flowing substance, making it impossible for them to pass through it.

In just an incense stick of time, everyone was trapped in this bare square.

Just when the three star gods of the White Lotus Sect were in a helpless dilemma, a strange shasha sound was suddenly heard from the sky above the center of the square.

Everyone present was a martial arts expert with sharp eyes and ears, so this subtle movement naturally attracted their attention.

Then, all the star gods showed expressions of disbelief at the same time.

Because things have changed in the Buddhist world.

The sky, which was usually silent and dark, suddenly became pitch black, and irregular cracks appeared, revealing some bright light.

Then, a chilling female voice began to be heard in the room, and it sounded without any emotion or ripples.

"Connecting to power, please wait..."

"Nanliu K2 Star Base is restarting the systems in all rooms."

After the mechanical female voice that no one could understand, there was a horrible breaking sound.

The sound was like thunder from the sky, rumbling all around, thousands of times louder than the fire and thunder magic of the Tianji Star Lord.

As the Star Lords and their companions understood, the indestructible soil of the Buddha Realm actually began to fall off, revealing the real wall hidden underneath.

Then, there was the strange light in the sky that looked like the sun, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Tianji Star Lord stretched out his five fingers to block his eyes, and barely through the gaps between his fingers, he saw a man falling from the sky.

He was slightly startled and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"The gods have appeared."

……

The Festival of All Nations is the most grand event held in the capital since the coronation ceremony.

On the eve of the visit of envoys from various countries alone, the streets of the capital were filled with all kinds of vendors, actively shouting out the goods in front of them.

During such festive occasions, the Imperial Guards would work with the officials of Kyoto Prefecture to maintain law and order. Therefore, many young masters and young ladies from powerful families would go out to the streets to play during the event.

Today is the first day of the Festival of All Nations. The envoys from various countries that were previously lined up at the gate of the official post station in the capital will enter the city in the order of the list drawn up by the officials of the Honglu Temple.

The people of Beijing who are curious about the appearance of people from other countries will naturally occupy every corner of Zhuque Street in advance and choose a position with an excellent view to stop and watch.

The closer you get to the imperial city, the more crowded the place is and the more lively it seems.

Because the Empress of the Great Qi Empire will also appear in front of the Imperial City tonight to accept the homage of the envoys from hundreds of countries. "Look over there!"

In such a complicated and lively occasion, there is certainly no shortage of sharp-eyed and curious people.

Soon, it was discovered that in front of a side aisle, many vendors who had been waiting in advance to reserve spots began to pack up their bags and carts in an orderly manner and leave on the eve of the conference.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that some people dressed as servants had negotiated a price with the vendors and bought their places.

Such behavior that is expressly prohibited will naturally be stopped by patrolling constables and imperial guards.

But what is somewhat strange is that after the Kyoto constables understood the situation and reasons, they did not make any comment and condoned the actions of these servants.

"Why? Don't they know the rules? Which family can enjoy such a privilege?"

After this man shouted at this husky voice, many people noticed the actions of these servants.

But when they saw the peony family emblem on the servant's body, they all smiled and shook their heads, not responding to the passerby.

The kind-hearted person standing next to the passerby reminded him, "You look like someone from out of town... These people are servants of the Guangping Marquis's mansion. Do you know who Guangping Marquis is? He is the current emperor's nephew and the most favored and powerful marquis."

Hearing the name of Guangping Marquis' Mansion, the passerby dared not say a word.

At this time, a group of beautiful female family members entered the venue under the escort of many guards.

The woman in the lead was wearing a long pink dress with delicate flower and butterfly patterns embroidered on it.

She wore an exquisite hairpin on her head, which made her look as beautiful and charming as a fairy, showing the softness and grace of a woman.

The girl next to her was wearing a short-sleeved top and a bright and colorful pleated skirt. There was a hint of playfulness and liveliness on her face, and her big round eyes kept moving around, full of curiosity.

Compared with her, the women around her who were walking in groups and dressed up carefully were like green leaves setting off red flowers and could not be compared with her.

Moreover, some women have carefully discovered that what is revealed under their skirts is not stockings, but the newest type of goddess silk on the market, which looks delicate and smooth.

A fat-faced woman with heavy makeup could not help but say, "These wealthy people really know how to enjoy themselves. They can even easily get socks worth hundreds or thousands of taels. Sigh... I really hope that the Marquis of Guangping is also nearby and can be attracted by my beauty."

Her friends couldn't help but agree with her and were filled with jealousy towards the women in Marquis Guangping's Mansion.

Because among those beautiful girls, not only the ladies and ladies receive such treatment, but even the personal maids who accompany them are dressed like this. How can one not be envious?
On the day of the Festival of All Nations, the place was bustling with people. The women in the Xu Mansion were separated by the guards, so they naturally could not hear the discussions of others.

The cute and playful little sister of the Yang family came up and hugged the arm of the third wife, Mrs. Lu, and asked with a smile: "Sister, how did you feel when you came out today? Are you happy?"

The night Xu Qing returned home, he sent someone to the princess's mansion to bring back the real Lu Wanhe.

When Lu Wanhe came back, she looked haggard. When she found out that her master Ji Xia had suffered, she knelt beside him and cried all night.

Before the International Day of Nations, she felt deeply guilty and refused to meet Xu Qing. She stayed in the house all day reading and daydreaming.

Today is the International Festival. Lu Wanhe, who was invited by several other families, walked out of the deep courtyard. The younger sister of the second family was beside her and told her some interesting stories about saints.

"Well, happy."

Ji Xia was standing at the back, and his expression darkened when he heard his young lady's answer.

She was familiar with the young lady's character and knew that her heart knot had not yet been untied. Being imprisoned alone in the dark dungeon of the princess's mansion for half a month would definitely make the young lady depressed and dull.
