The queen must start from the head

Chapter 20
Outside Tianhai City, on the official road next to Heshui Village.

A dark-skinned bald monk in a thick red cassock, holding a nine-pronged Zen stick in one hand and a begging bowl in the other, followed by two young monks, one fat and one thin.

The fat little novice said with a bitter face, "Master, are we really going to the city ahead? Didn't Master Xinghe predict that this city will die a few days ago? Why do we still...".

"Amitabha, Wujing, the Buddha saves all living beings, and all living beings are equal. The news that Tianhai City will die will spread sooner or later, and this place may become a purgatory on earth. How can we Buddhist disciples sit back and watch these things happen? Teaching, have you ever taken it to heart?"

"Master I know, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell. If hell is not empty, I swear I won't become a Buddha..." The little fat man muttered words, but his face still had a bitter face, but his companions had calm.

The great monk was very satisfied with his thin and calm disciple, "Wujing, you should learn more from your junior brother Wujue. As a monk, you should be calm and not attached to things in the world. You can afford it and let it go... ...".

The skinny novice Wujue didn't show the slightest joy at Master's praise, he said calmly, "Master, we haven't received alms during this journey, if we continue like this, we will faint from hunger."

The great monk showed compassion when he heard the words, looked up at the city wall of Tianhai City where there was no shadow at this time, and sighed, "It seems that the three of us will not be able to hold on to Tianhai City today. Look at the road stele. There is a village, we can go to the village for alms first, and hope that some kind-hearted benefactors are willing to give us some alms."

So the three of them adjusted their direction slightly, and walked towards Heshui Village according to the guidance on the side of the official road.

In Tianhai City, Tang Zhengqiu, the owner of Tang Ji Trading Company, which runs dozens of shops, is busy worrying at home.

Tomorrow, he will have a very important guest coming to Tianhai City, and he heard that this guest is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.He was very worried that the existing conditions in Tianhai City would make the other party dissatisfied, but he couldn't think of what to do.So a person paced up and down in the room, very worried.

At this moment, the housekeeper at home suddenly knocked on the study door.

"Master, the City Guards just sent something home."

City Guards?Don't these people only obey the orders of the prefect?What will they come to deliver?Could it be that the prefect wants to increase the business tax?
"Bring it quickly."

As soon as he got this colorful leaflet, Tang Zhengqiu felt a shock from the textured and smooth page.Looking at the front again, there are a few lines of shocking characters just after entering the eyes.

"Have you ever seen the tears shed by the ancient phoenix before death? Have you ever seen the largest bathhouse in the whole northern Qi? Have you ever seen inexhaustible food? Do you want to know how the gods live? life? Once upon a time there was a mountain named Luohuang, and there was a faction on the mountain, the Tianxia Wushuang faction. Everything you want to know is found here. Now take a one-day tour of the Luohuang Mountain Tianxia Wushuang faction. Tickets can be exempted by presenting this flyer Fees. In the whole world, only the delicious food and the beautiful scenery can’t let you down. What are you waiting for? This event will only last for ten days, and the first [-] visitors will have a gift of Suzhou embroidery signed by Mr. Mu. First come, first served. What you earn is what you earn! The Wushuang faction wholeheartedly welcomes you to visit us! ——I have been infatuated in my life, and I have never dreamed of falling into the Phoenix. Sincerely, Mu Lian, the head of the Wushuang faction."

Below this line of words, there are several extremely realistic pictures drawn, exquisite pavilions, clean and tidy rooms, a large bathtub and a large dining table with hundreds of dishes.

Tang Zhengqiu can swear to God, he has never seen such a big bathtub and such a big dining table since he grew up.Under the combination of pictures and texts, he felt that his whole heart was about to move.

Luohuang Mountain?The Peerless faction?He has never heard of these.But it doesn't matter, just the name Mu Lian and the Suzhou embroidery that has long been famous in the city are enough to make him suffer.

"Housekeeper, get the groom to prepare the horse immediately. I'm going to Luohuang Mountain. By the way, remember to invite Madam and let her go with me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after the city guards distributed Mu Lian's [-] leaflets, horse-drawn carriages drove out from the high-profile households in the city, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Hey, why are there suddenly so many carriages leaving the city today?"

"Don't you know? There is Luohuang Mountain outside the city, and there is a sect called Tianxia Wushuang on the mountain. I heard that the people who live there live a life like heaven and earth! Now this sect has decided to open to the public for ten days. Everyone here can enjoy this kind of life. And most importantly, it is free to visit now!"

"Brother, how do you know this matter so clearly?"

"Hahaha, that's because I got a flyer that can waive the entrance fee!"

"Oh, I wonder if I can show you what a leaflet is?"

"Here, I'll just show you and return it to me after you're done. Have you seen this colored paper? I've never seen paper with such excellent quality, and the paintings on it are so real that they're worth collecting. Just... Hey! Why are you running? Stop and return my flyer!"

Tianhai City, where [-] leaflets were dropped, boiled like a pot of boiling water.

People in the streets and alleys were talking about this matter one after another. Although Mu Lian's name had long been known in Tianhai City, not everyone had seen her face.Just like Xue Tong, the former leader of the City Guard Army, although he had heard of Mu Lian's name, he didn't know what she looked like.

Now that the people in the city suddenly heard that Mu Lian founded a faction in Luohuang Mountain, they couldn't help but be full of longing and curiosity about Luohuang Mountain.As for the sect, what is the sect?For the people of Tianhai City, sects are things that only exist in books and have never been seen before.

Now Mu Lian actually allows everyone to visit for free, and with the promotion of thousands of leaflets, everyone has countless daydreams about the fairy-like days on the mountain.How could they miss the opportunity at hand?
As a result, many people were dispatched, and began to search for the legendary flyers that were extremely beautiful and free of admission.Even many commercial street shops closed before dark, and people all over the city were looking for leaflets.

The man in hemp robe who was performing a puppet show at a busy street corner suddenly felt that the surroundings had become much quieter, so he walked out from behind the stage. After seeing it, only three people were still watching his performance. No one knew where they had gone, and even the nearby shops were closed.

He couldn't help asking the three children standing in front of the stage with caramel in their mouths, "Do you know where all the people who were watching the show just now went?"

One of the children blinked his big eyes and said, "Everyone is going to grab the leaflets."

leaflet?What is a leaflet?The man in hemp robe was puzzled, but he couldn't ask the child for advice, it would make him appear ignorant.

"Then why don't you grab the leaflets?"

"Father and mother have already gone to snatch it, and let us wait here for them to come back."

The man in hemp robe suddenly felt a little cold... Is it because he is not good-looking enough, or the puppet show is not good, why did everyone go to grab some flyers?

This group of hateful common people must be because he was not cruel enough before, let them know what fear is!Hmph, when that prophecy reaches here, he will take care of these ants!

The man in hemp robe thought so, put away his puppet stage, and left with the big box on his back, leaving behind three children who watched him go away with sugar in their mouths.

A child asked curiously, "Why did he leave all of a sudden? It was quite interesting for those villains to perform a fight just now!"

Another child interjected, "Maybe he is too ugly, I am too embarrassed to continue performing here."

The third child nodded, agreeing with his friend's point of view.
