Except for the last time they entered Shenjing in vain, this is the first time for Li Chengfeng and the three of them to wander around this Shenjing in a serious manner. The three of them are headless flies who don't know the way. They are left to find their own way. In the direction where the Wen Gu is located, it is almost likely to turn dark, but when the people around hear the sound of the Deng Wen Drum, they are all surprised and curious. They drop what they are doing and swarm towards the street where the Deng Wen Drum is located.
The merchants closed their stalls early, and the tourists dropped what they were going to buy and turned away. When the vendors saw the customers leaving one after another, they simply picked up the burden and followed the curious to join in the fun.
Li Chengfeng and the three of them saw all kinds of people along the way, laughing and joking towards the place where the drums were playing. Among them were barbarians who showed off their hearts even in the winter, barbarians wearing strange headdresses, and puppets with deep eyes and high noses. A native of Qi, a Dijon man with dark skin and a strong build.
There were also some enthusiastic dancers running down from the restaurant. Some of them were female slaves from various ethnic groups captured during the Qi conquests. They were bought by the restaurant and trained as dancers. Some of them followed the caravan to the most prosperous and powerful place today. Come to the city to seek a new life.
Some of them are barefoot even in the winter, wearing various gold and silver bracelets on their ankles, long slit skirts, and navel-baring shorts. They are the most conspicuous among the crowd, like a group of walking flowers. Some of them are walking on the street. When the local gangsters saw this, they immediately approached with a smile and used their hands to wipe the oil due to the crowd. The dancers were startled and screamed and cursed.
For a moment, this corner of Shenjing was like a pot of oil splashed with cold water, boiling and boiling, filling up and boiling the sky.
Li Chengfeng and the others followed the flow of people from Shen'an Street, which is adjacent to the main gate in the east of the city, to the southwest. From Shen'an Street, they passed through Shenle Street, Shenwen Street, and Shending Street, and then arrived at the location of Dengwen Drum. Shending Street Plaza.
In the central square of Taiyang City, Li Chengfeng saw that it could accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 people, but in this Shending Street Square, it could accommodate 100,000 people!
When Zhao Xiaobao saw the dense crowd in the square, he took a breath and said, "There are so many people! Is this square so big?"
An old man next to him heard the voice, turned around and said proudly: "Is this your first time coming to our Shenjing?"
Zhao Xiaobao smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, yes!"
The man proudly showed off: "This square is called Shending Square. There are two high platforms in it. One high platform holds the copper ingot, one of the nine tripods, and the other high platform holds the Dengwen drum! And there is such a square in Shenjing. Nine! It’s called Jiuding Square! And these squares are not the largest. The largest one is Shenjing’s Shenjiao Square. That square… is several times bigger than this square!”
Zhao Xiaobao gave him a monk's salute and said, "Thank you very much, old man, for your advice."
When the old man saw the etiquette of Zhao Xiaobao's salute, his face changed slightly. When he saw the monk's robe on Zhao Xiaobao, he suddenly showed fear. He quickly nodded and bowed down to return the salute: "It turns out to be the monk, I'm an old man, don't you dare!"
Zhao Xiaobao wanted to be polite, but he was pushed forward by the crowd. Li Chengfeng also pulled him and said loudly: "What are you doing? Why don't you follow?"
In just a short time, the flow of people had increased. There were probably more than hundreds of thousands of people gathered around. Li Chengfeng pulled Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, and the three of them squeezed forward.
Along the way, the three of them used their strength to push through the crowd, causing everyone to yell and yell. However, when they saw the monks' robes of the three of them, they all stopped and turned their tempers on other people who wanted to push forward: " Blind your dog eyes, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze for whatever reason! Be careful your mother squeezes you out!"
The three of them didn't know how long they had been squeezing, but suddenly their eyes were empty, and suddenly they saw that the central part of the square had been surrounded by blood guards. The people around them only dared to look around, but there was still an extremely empty square in the middle. To the east is a high platform about ten meters. On the high platform is a three-four-meter-high copper tripod weighing several thousand kilograms. It is probably one of the nine tripods.
Han Tianxing couldn't help but show off his knowledge and knowledge at this time. He said: "Did you see it? This tripod is one of the nine tripods in Dingguo. These nine tripods are placed in nine positions in Shenjing, corresponding to the southeast, northwest and northwest. The nine positions of , southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest and center represent the meaning of guarding our land in all nine directions of Daqi and ensuring our health forever."
Zhao Xiaobao looked at it curiously and greedily, and nodded quickly. At this time, he quickly looked to the other side and said, "Hey, this guy playing the drum..."
Li Chengfeng stayed where he was at this time, feeling that the person playing the drum in the distance looked very familiar.
On the other side of the Dengwen drum high platform, there is a woman holding a red tasseled copper stick. The person who is beating the drum vigorously is a woman. She is wearing a long white dress. She has a slender figure and black hair like clouds. It is difficult to see clearly from a distance. Despite her appearance, her graceful and elegant figure and temperament are unforgettable at first sight.
In particular, this red-tasseled copper stick weighs a hundred kilograms and is as thick as an adult's calf. It is difficult for ordinary people to pick it up, let alone swing it.
But in the hands of this woman, it was swung like a branch, lifting the weight as lightly as possible. Every time it hit the huge Denwen drum covering an area of more than ten square meters, a loud sound that shook the earth would be made.
The sound was so loud that the people nearby had to cover their ears.
"This, this can't be..." Zhao Xiaobao couldn't help shouting. Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice next to him.
"Oh, isn't this Xiaobao!"
The sound was as clear and clear as a silver bell, even amidst the deafening drums.
Zhao Xiaobao and others turned around and looked, oh, familiar people, isn't this a little bell
"You, you are... are..." Zhao Xiaobao pointed at the little bell, his eyes widened and speechless.
Xiao Lingdang feigned anger and stepped forward with her arms akimbo, stretched out her hand carelessly to grab Zhao Xiaobao's ears, and said angrily: "Why, how long has it been since then, and you don't remember sister? Tell me, who am I?"
Zhao Xiaobao was in pain and cried out: "Little Lingdang, you are Little Lingdang, let go, let go!"
Little Lingdang said angrily: "It's Sister Little Lingdang!"
Zhao Xiaobao said quickly: "Yes, it's Sister Xiaolingdang!"
Li Chengfeng stepped forward and saluted the little bell, saying, "Little bell, is this the real Liu Sumei Liu?"
Only then did Xiao Lingdang let go, glanced at Zhao Xiaobao, and said: "You still have a conscience, you recognize it right away, and you remember people in your heart, unlike some people who start in confusion but give up in the end, and forget in the blink of an eye!"
These words were so weird and ambiguous that everyone around him looked at Zhao Xiaobao with an incomprehensible look, as if they were looking at a scumbag who had betrayed his trust and abandoned his wife and son.
Zhao Xiaobao's face turned red, and he was filled with shame and anger. He stamped his feet and said: "I, I don't have it. I, I, I started to get confused and finally gave up. I, I am not familiar with you, not familiar with you!"
Seeing him like this, Xiao Lingdang couldn't help but burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that her voice was like a silver bell and as crisp as a skylark. She stepped forward and took Zhao Xiaobao's arm, and snuggled up to Zhao Xiaobao carelessly. In his arms, he pretended to be pitiful: "Brother Xiaobao, will we be familiar with each other from today on?"
Xiaobao's pretty face turned red and he was speechless. Xiaolingdang nudged Zhao Xiaobao with her elbow and said coquettishly: "Are you familiar?"
Zhao Xiaobao was excited and said quickly: "It's cooked, it's cooked, it's cooked, it's cooked!"
At this time, even Li Chengfeng and Han Tianxing couldn't help laughing.
Just as they were laughing and joking, a group of blood guards suddenly emerged from the crowd opposite. A third-grade official stepped forward and pointed at Liu Sumei, scolding: "Who is beating the Dengwen drum!"
The woman put down the red-tasseled copper stick in her hand and said loudly: "Fengwu Pavilion, Liu Sumei!"
Ninety-nine percent of the people here don't know who Liu Sumei is, but everyone knows the name of Fengwu Pavilion!
This third-grade official was none other than Jing Shaoyin. He naturally knew the weight of Fengwu Pavilion. He secretly complained in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and ask: "Why are you beating the drum!"
Liu Sumei shouted loudly: "Sue Xu Tao, the prefect of Tong'an, for deceiving the emperor and disregarding human life!"
As soon as the voice fell, the originally bustling square fell silent.
People living in Shenjing are very sensitive. They all know that the government and the spiritual world are two rivers that do not meet each other. As the saying goes, water in a well does not interfere with the water in the river.
But now... the people from Fengwu Pavilion beat the Dengwen drum and sued the prefect of the place!
what does that mean
Moreover, some people who are more sensitive to officialdom are keenly aware of an even more terrifying thing: Xu Tao belongs to the fourth prince!
Li Chengfeng's expression also changed at this time, and he realized: his idea of not wanting to choose a side was completely shattered!
