Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1308 Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
In this way, Xuanyuanche did not go to Changli City, and what he said earlier about investigating the Shenyin Sect's lair was all fake news to confuse everyone!
Since Xuanyuanche didn't go to Changli, it is most likely that he went to Dayan.

This will be difficult!

Although all kinds of speculation are unsubstantiated, they are also unreasonable.Now hearing King Nanyan mentioning this army of soldiers coming out of nowhere, King Changli really became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

"In my opinion, the day after tomorrow will be the [-]th Yulan Festival. Tomorrow evening, the people of Beiyan Capital City will go out and light lanterns to pray for blessings. At that time, fish and dragons will be mixed in the city. It is a good time to do it."

Hearing what his father said, Sikong Junye was a little puzzled and said, "Father, didn't we agree to do it on the Yulan Festival earlier?"

"Now we don't know where the Xuanyuan Che people are. If we really wait until the Yu Lan Festival to start, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"What the king of Nanyan said is very true." The king of Changli was also thinking in his heart, to act earlier and make a quick decision, so as not to have long nights and dreams. , controlled the people, and the rest of the tribe immediately entered the city to support, and ordered Xuanyuanchen to give up the throne. Queen Fengqian and the King of Northern Yan depended on each other. , there will be no big waves!"

"My lord is good at planning. If my lord gains power, please don't forget the covenant between us."

"This king will never forget."

In July and a half, ghosts run around.

Yulan, also known as Zhongyuan, is also the Ghost Festival. The time when lanterns are officially launched for sacrifices starts from the [-]th of July to the [-]th of July.

Because of the rebellion against the Shenyin Sect in the previous kings, the people in the city were panicked, and the doors of every house were closed. On the thirteenth day, I saw people's houses open and busy, setting up incense tables, offering sacrifices, and burning paper money. , but it is only confined to the outside of my own home, and I dare not go far.

This scene lasted until the evening of the [-]th, when the moon came out of the clouds, it was so bright that people saw the housewives with small baskets on their arms, squatting down in the open space in front of the door, picking up a bunch of incense sticks from the basket, The child held a candle in his hand and followed behind his mother. The yellowish flame flickered and would never go out, making people's faces move, so weird!
I saw the woman lit the incense sticks and planted them one by one in the open space in front of the door, like planting rice seedlings. Looking over from a distance, the dots of red light in the "incense field" in front of the door were indistinctly connected together, like a continuous line. The way to the underworld.

The childish child asked, "Aniang, when shall we light the lamp?"

"almost done."

The woman agreed to stand up, put the bamboo basket on her shoulders, took the child's hand, and walked out.

At this moment, I saw all the people in the city go out, or hold lamps and candles, or lead incense and strings, and only put lamps at the entrance of the city to pray for blessings.

It's been a long time since I saw such a crowd of people in the city. It should be bustling and lively, but it's inexplicably scary.

All the people went to the street, and suddenly they heard the ethereal sound of the piano coming from the sky above the royal city.

Ever since the Divine Music Sect was classified as a cult by the king, playing the qin and flute has been strictly prohibited in the city. Naturally, the will of giving up food because of choking was not from the mouth of the Lord. On that day, Feng Qian ordered that the members of the Divine Music Sect be strictly prohibited from playing music in the city to confuse people's hearts. The decree drawn up by the book order is to put an end to all music in the city.

After Muyun was kidnapped, Xuanyuanchen was still worried. In order to save Muyun from being trapped in the Nanyan camp, Feng Qian had to design a rescue, but for a while he didn't notice Zhongshu Ling.

Gai Chenyun, the veteran of the three dynasties of Northern Yan, served under the sect together with Feng Cang in the early years. After Feng Cang was promoted to prime minister, Gai Chenyun continued to serve under the sect.

Later, King Xuanyuanche of Northern Yan got married, and he married Feng Qian, the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Feng Cang. The court celebrated, the amnesty granted, Feng Cang was promoted to the third prince, and Gai Chenyun was also promoted to Zhongshuling.

Later Xuanyuan Che abdicated and Xuanyuan Chen succeeded him. The first person who dissatisfied was the Zhongshu Ling Gai Chenyun. In his opinion, Xuanyuan Che abandoned the throne in such a way that he abandoned the people of Beiyan and handed over Beiyan to the throne. It's a joke for a young prince with little education!

Since Xuanyuanchen took control, Gai Chenyun has been stumbling overtly and secretly, and Feng Cang has mediated in it more than once, but Gai Chenyun is stubborn and stubborn, it's hard to explain.

It's just that tampering with His Majesty's will this time privately and causing resentment among the people is causing a catastrophe!
Nowadays, the common people have not heard half a note for many days. When they first heard this ethereal sound, they felt that the trembling tone made people feel itchy, but the waiting for the next sound made people feel bored. , unconsciously walked towards the front street, just thinking about finding the ending of the piano sound.

While the people were looking around, a wind banner was secretly rising with the night wind.

In an instant, several sounds from the Lingding qin came from the qin, which were scattered and difficult to tune. Everyone followed the sound and followed the direction of the qin without emotion.

Seeing this scene on the high wall of the royal city, the guards guarding the palace were stunned for a moment.

I saw that the faces of all the people were dull, their hands were unnaturally hanging down, their eyes were dull, like puppets, only the lotus lanterns in their hands were shaking with the forward movement, and the candlelight inside was beating like phosphorous will-o'-the-wisps.

"This, is this a ghost?"

On the eve of the Yulan Festival, it is reasonable to say that everyone will go to the temples in the city to chant scriptures and sacrifice, and then put lanterns along the river bank, burn Buddhist boats, and burn spiritual houses.But the scene in front of me is really hair-raising, and accompanied by the intermittent and repeated sound of the piano, it is not like lighting up lamps to comfort the ancestors, but rather... like a night walk of ghosts.

"Listen, is this piano sound..."

Only then did the guards realize that playing music is forbidden in the city, and there is only one possibility for the sound of the zither to appear at this time——Shenyin Cult!

"The people are probably controlled by the music of the Divine Music Sect!"

"But if it is really the Divine Music Sect, how can we be safe and sound?"

"I think it's because the sound of the zither hasn't been tuned yet, you and I both have spiritual body protection, maybe we can resist it for a while."

"Quickly return to the palace to report!"

If someone looked down from the highest point of the capital at this time, they would definitely be able to see a long fire dragon on several streets. They meandered forward, like flowing magma, converging towards the center. Yan's lifeblood.

"Report-"

A loud cry broke the silence of the palace.

In the palace, Feng Qian and Xuanyuanchen were discussing state affairs, and servants rushed in to report.

"Report to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, the people in the city are under the control of Shenyin Cult and are coming towards the gate of the palace!"

"What?!" Feng Qian was shocked, "Yu Lan Festival is tomorrow, how did they do it in advance?!"

"Didn't Mrs. Wang's two apprentices visit Changli King on the night when Guzi Nanyan came back? They must have planned a plan for an early move."

Feng Qian pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "Wait for me to see for myself!"

Looking down from the palace tower, there are many people standing in front of the palace gate.The lamp and candle in his hand were faintly shadowed, emitting a ghostly light in the dark night.In the dark night, people can't help but be intoxicated by the high and low sound of the piano. I don't know who started it first, but seeing the crowd walking towards the moat, they all put the river lanterns in their hands into the water.
