Rob stood beside the luthier and listened for a while, then suddenly began to sing along with the sound of the piano.
The pianist played an unknown piece, but the words he sang were very famous in the world.
Moreover, his voice was extremely bold, and compared with the Liuyin Canxue in Wenshui City, it had a different flavor, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"I came west with one sword
your clothes flutter
so cute
flow through the courtyard
I copy scriptures in the temple
And tomorrow I will practice Boxing and Yijin...
Chun Shan loves to laugh
Tomorrow my road is farther
horseshoes become butterflies
Bow and shoot arrows, walk through the green forest
I am the scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam but did not study
I came to Luoyang to see your reflection
The last pen in the water, the remains in the sky
save your little skinny
A scoop of your little plumpness"
(Note: Wen Ruian, Huang He)
…
…
The blind luthier played for a long time, Rob also sang for a long time, more and more people gathered around the river, and the piles of copper coins and scraps of silver piled up in front of the blind luthier also became more and more, through the last twilight, shining Delightful gloss.
The twilight grew thicker until it turned into night. The shops and inns on both sides of the Wenshui River were lit up, and the stars fell into the water.
Suddenly, shocking discussions erupted from the crowd, and everyone's eyes turned away from the blind luthier and Rob, and turned to the opposite bank.
There is the back garden of the Taoist Temple.
Rob raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look over there.
I saw the dao hall shining brightly, the flowing clouds on the top of the hall slowly rotating, and it has reached the highest point, and the elegant and high-rhyme rituals and music are slowly eating.
This is a declaration.
His Majesty the Pope has come to Wenshui.
The people by the river stopped their movements again and just stood still, just like what happened on the main street during the day.
The seven vendors stopped drinking, the six yamen servants lowered their iron chains, the three fortune tellers opened their eyes, and the wrapping paper in the hands of two old sesame candy sellers trembled slightly in the night wind. , the little girl who bought makeup looked as white as white, as if she had already applied five layers.
"I didn't expect him to be a smart person."
Looking at the infinite light on the other side, and listening to the sound of rites and music from the Taoist Temple, Rob thought to himself: "Maybe there is a smart person by your side."
…
…
The history of Wenshui City is extremely long, and the history of the Tang family is even longer than that of the Chen royal family and the Liang family.
As the head of the four great families and the wealthiest family in the world, the Wenshui Tang family controls countless industries, transportation, ordnance, grain, and mines. As long as it is a truly important industry, the Tang family can always be low-key but cannot be ignored. , and this established the position of the Tang family in the entire continent.
As of today, no one knows what kind of power the Tang family has, because until now, no force has been able to force the Tang family to use all of its strength, so when it comes to the Tang family, people can only use the most vague To describe it in a unique way, that is the background.
The truth is at the bottom, just like those aquatic plants at the bottom of Wenshui that no one can count. The world only knows that they are there, but they have never seen them with their own eyes. more terrible.
But there will always be some side proofs. For example, no one has ever dared to swim or fish in Wenshui. For example, whether it is the Emperor Taizong of the year or the later powerful Empress Tianhai, the attitude towards the Tang family is gentle and conciliatory. Mainly, because Xiawen water is easy to drown, and moving the Tang family will inevitably lead to chaos.
Chen Changsheng is the pope of the present age, the most distinguished person in the mainland, but even he has nothing to do with the Tang family.
If after leaving Songshan Military Mansion, he reveals his identity and wants to come to Wenshui City, the Tang family can think of countless ways to politely keep him out of the city, so he can only hide his identity and come like an ordinary tourist To Wenshui City, even Wenshui City already knew of his arrival.
But now that he has entered Wenshui City, if he still wants to act like a few days ago and try to rescue Tang Thirty-Six who was locked up in the ancestral hall through secret operations, the Tang family may make him disappear directly into Wenshui under the night. In the water - because this is Wenshui.
Therefore, the Dao Temple was full of light, and the flowing clouds went straight to the dome.
He directly revealed his identity to the entire Wenshui City.
No matter how deep the Wenshui is, no matter how terrifying the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, how dare they do anything to him
This is a very simple and direct announcement, but in the eyes of Rob and many people including the Tang family, it is full of wisdom.
But in fact, this decision had nothing to do with Chen Changsheng, he was just following what the letter said.
The Dao Temple seemed so quiet for half a day, not because he was discussing with people, but because he had other important things to do.
There are green and lush trees everywhere. In this cold winter, it is obvious that there is some kind of formation in the Taoist Temple that is constantly providing heat to the earth. Even in the Li Palace in Kyoto, this is too extravagant behavior, but in Wenshui City, it doesn't seem very special, because this city is really too rich.
There is a quiet and winding stone road in the woods. From noon onwards, a bishop stands every few feet on both sides of the stone road, with a humble and serious expression.
The deeper you go, the higher the rank of the bishops on both sides of the stone road, and there are four cardinals standing outside the God Gate of the back hall.
There is a pear blossom planted in Shenmen, and under the pear blossom is the door of the apse, and the Archbishop of Wenshui is standing outside the door.
A few years ago, Chen Changsheng had come to Wenshui, that is to say, lived in the apse. At that time, he had been appointed by His Majesty the Pope as the Dean of the Orthodox Academy. The whole continent knew that he would be the Pope in the future, so the Archbishop naturally entertained him. He was extremely attentive, but not as good as today.
For Ligong, Wenshui City is of course the most important place, and being the archbishop here must be a good job. The state religion has not been stable these years, and this archbishop has been here for so many years. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person, but he is Waiting quietly outside the door like this, even if time passed, he didn't show any expression of impatience, he didn't even move his feet, he looked extraordinarily humble, even lowered into the dust.
Because now Chen Changsheng is the pope.
Although they were well aware of this fact, seeing the archbishop seemed to be deliberately ignored, the cardinals did not dare to slander, and it was inevitable that they still felt a little uncomfortable.
To their comfort, Zhe Xiu and Guan Feibai were also stopped outside the door of the apse, and they were in a daze in the woods at the moment.
Zhexiu of the Wolf Clan and Feibai of Li Shanguan are of course celebrities, and their relationship with the Pope is well known throughout the world.
None of them can enter the temple, let alone the rest.
Since noon, the door of the apse had never been opened, and there was no sound coming from inside. No one knew what Chen Changsheng was doing inside.
Until the twilight was thickest, the woods by the river and the roof of the temple seemed to be burning at the same time, and then a real heat came out.
It was the heat generated by the real fire, not from the formation under the Dao Temple, and the green leaves on the pear tree curled up slightly.
The archbishop finally raised his head and looked at the closed door, with a nervous expression on his face.
