royal robes

Chapter 533
After eating, the group went to the small market outside Luoyang City for a few laps.Luoyang City was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, and even the edge of the city was extremely prosperous, especially the section from the wharf to Beicheng, not only were there small vendors along the way, but there were also several nice small towns.

Zong Xin and his party settled in one of the small towns and learned that there would be a memorial ceremony here in the evening. Everyone except Zong Xin was very excited.Women who have lived in purdah for a long time, their instinct is to want to see the outside world, and they will like lively things very much.

Tonight is the annual tour of the mountain god. The town will select a few young and strong young men to carry the mountain god around the town in an eight-carriage sedan, and then return to the temple.Because of the rare opportunity, many people from Luoyang City will come to this small town to watch the ceremony.

The local God of Longmen Mountain is enshrined. It is said that when there was a flood in Luoyang, a certain mountain god was grateful for the suffering of the people and blocked the water with mountains.The mountain god asked a local dragon to let the water flow on both sides flow down, forming a river so that the city would not be submerged.The dragon formed a river with its body, separated the mountains and rivers, and saved the people of Luoyang from catastrophe.

The Longmen Mountain God rescued all the people in Luoyang with the mountain blocking the water, so it is believed by many people, and the mountain temple is also very huge.Because of the achievements of this mountain god, this mountain is also called Longmen Mountain.As if it is the gate of Luoyang, no flood can pass through this mountain.

The reason is that the local people who rely on the Weihe River believe in the Longmen Mountain God very much, because they believe that the Longmen Mountain God can not only control the mountains, but also control the water. People who trade on the water must worship the Longmen Mountain God before going out to return safely.

The Longmen Mountain Parade Street is a big event for the whole Luoyang, and many people come to watch the ceremony.Of course, Zong Xin and his party who like to join in the fun will not miss this good opportunity and come to the mountain temple early.

There are lights and festoons outside the Shanshen Temple, and it has almost become a night market. Many people come here with the mentality of having fun. The annual gathering is also rare. Many people point to this grand event to make a fortune. There are small vendors on the left and right sides, and lanterns and torches are everywhere.

Soon, a group of brawny men came out of the mountain temple dancing a long dragon. The dragon dance team took the lead. Fireworks sprayed on their naked upper bodies from the left and right sides. It's not hot on the body, so it's also part of the performance.

Seeing a paper dragon dancing in the hands of a strong man, everyone applauded and kept spraying fireworks at these people, expressing their respect for the mountain god and thanking them at the beginning. The dragon who sacrificed himself in exchange for the safety of the people of Luoyang.

The dragon dance team stayed in front of the mountain temple for a while, and everyone was waiting for the mountain god to go on tour.Soon, eight shirtless young brothers came out of the mountain temple against the eight-carried sedan chair. On the eight-carried sedan chair sat a clay statue of a god, which was not big in size and was very similar to the statue enshrined in the temple. Big difference.

This is the fixed ceremony for the mountain god to go on tour. It is not to move out the statue enshrined in the temple. The statue is too big and heavy to be moved by anyone. Even if it is moved, it will inevitably damage the statue, so there is a tour idol.

The statues on tour are much smaller, but they are more delicately made. There are also flowers, ribbons and various decorations on the eight-carried sedan chair.The crowd made way for the dragon dance team to clear the way, and the eight little brothers behind carried the statue and walked around the town.At this time, a lot of people gathered in the small town. These people were all here to watch the ceremony.

Zong Xin wasn't interested in this kind of thing, and he didn't like crowding around with this group of people. After seeing the mountain god go out, he didn't have much interest.However, the three women were very excited, chasing the team of mountain gods all the way forward, spraying fireworks on the dozens of shirtless people with fireworks in their hands.

"Women... really boring." Zong Xin sighed depressedly. Although he was not very willing, he still had to follow. After all, the three women were so happy, I was really worried that they would not be able to find their way back to the inn.In fact, Zong Xin was not worried about their safety. Even if the Zhao Clan came to kill them, the three of them would be able to escape smoothly, but if they came out together, I, as a husband, would go first...it would be unreasonable.

'Clap~'

Zong Xin had just turned around to keep up with the team, when he was bumped suddenly, and the man's hand touched his body.At this time, Zong Xin turned his head to look over, and felt that the person who bumped into him was very familiar. Zong Xin didn't care whether he was an acquaintance, but dared to bump into himself, which was clearly courting death.

"Which bastard hit me? Kneel down and kowtow, and I'll spare your life."

The people around him looked at Zong Xin, then smiled lightly and said, "The young man has pretty features, why do you speak so badly? I think you owe a lot of discipline. There are so many people here, isn't it normal to bump into him?"

"Hmph, I think you bumped into me on purpose. The force just now was not light, and you touched me on purpose..." Zong Xin immediately touched his wallet. Fortunately, the wallet is still there. This person is not a thief. .And after taking a closer look, Zong Xin suddenly recognized this person. He had seen him once in Luoyang a few years ago, but because he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the surrounding sky was too dark, he didn't recognize him at first sight, but after a long time Then I suddenly remembered, isn't this Zhao Kuangyin's brother Zhao Kuangji?

Zhao Kuangji said: "Little brother, I was also bumped by someone. I lost my balance and bumped into you, and I helped you up. If it hurts you, I apologize. If it's really not good... can I pay money? "

Hearing this, Zong Xin suddenly felt strange. Someone from the Zhao clan actually offered to pay for themselves after bumping into someone else?He was lucky not to ask for money from himself, but Zhao Kuangji actually wanted to pay?Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

Zong Xin found out that Zhao Kuangji didn't recognize him, maybe because he had only met him once, and he was wearing casual clothes and a wig now, and it was already dark, so although he could get a rough look with the help of the light, it was difficult to see carefully.

But... If Zhao Kuangji didn't recognize him, how could he deliberately step forward to test him?With Zhao Kuangji's skill, it is absolutely impossible for someone to bump him and lose his balance.There were so many people present, it was normal to be bumped, but with his skill, he would not lose his balance no matter how many times he was bumped by these ordinary people, so he definitely tried it on purpose just now.

Zong Xin asked: "It's easy to lose money, how much?"

Zhao Kuangji took out a piece of broken silver from his body, then took Zong Xin's hand and put the silver in Zong Xin's palm, then he held hands and said with a light smile: "Is this enough for you? You don't need to go to the doctor for a bump. Buy yourself something."

"Then... can I take this money?" Zong Xin grabbed the money in his hand, and kept thinking about a question, whether Zhao Kuangji had discovered his identity.The two had met once, and Zhao Kuangji's behavior was very strange. It should be because he doubted his identity, and he was just testing.

Zhao Kuangji just nodded, then turned and left.Zong Xin was terrified when he took the money. Someone from the Zhao Clan took the initiative to give him the money, and this person was also the future leader of the Zhao Clan. , How could it be possible to lose so much money, although the ingot of silver is very broken, probably less than one tael... How could he have such kindness?Could it be that the end of the world is coming?
It's not that Zong Xin looks down on people surnamed Zhao, but Zong Xin thinks that even the day before the end of the world, people from the Zhao Clan are reluctant to spend their money.Although this is not a bad habit, the people of the Zhao Clan have such virtues.

Putting it all together, Zong Xin got a theory.This person just looks like Zhao Kuangji, he is not Zhao Kuangji.First of all, this person did not recognize himself as Zong Xin, and secondly, he gave him money.But Zong Xin met Zhao Kuangji once, and he was almost sure that he did not admit his mistake.

"It's really strange, why did Zhao Kuangji give me money?" Zong Xin put the money in his bag, and then found a small stall nearby to eat something.

Although this matter is quite strange, Zong Xin still thinks that he should stay away from the people of the Zhao Clan. Since Zhao Kuangji didn't recognize him, it's easy to handle.Let's eat something first and try the local snacks, and then go after the large group. It seems to be walking very slowly. This town is not small. It will probably take a while to go around in a circle. Don't waste your time on stupid things. Just stare at those people.

Zong Xin wasn't worried about the safety of the three wives, it was luck that they didn't cause trouble.Don't worry about Tian Ya, he is Guo Wei's son, no one in the entire Zhou Dynasty can provoke him, not to mention Tian Ya's current skills, it is estimated that ordinary people are not his opponents.

Zong Xin ordered a bowl of donkey meat soup, a bowl of Hu spicy soup, and a plate of steamed dumplings and started eating.Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground, although Zong Xin has never eaten dragon meat, he has had keel bone soup, but the keel bone soup is not as delicious as donkey meat.

In fact, the technique of making soup is similar, mainly due to the quality of the ingredients. Donkey meat is delicious no matter how it is made, and Zong Xin likes it very much.As for Hu spicy soup, it does have local characteristics, and it is difficult to drink this weird taste in other places.The dumplings are also good, with thin skin but very chewy, and the mutton stuffed dumplings don't taste bad at all.

"It tastes good. Boss, can you bring me a pot of wine and get me some appetizers?"

"okay."

The boss likes this kind of foodie customers. He ordered two bowls of soup and a basket of steamed dumplings by himself... This kid actually didn't have enough to eat, and even wanted to drink and drink.It is estimated that I didn’t eat at night, and I was on my way here, so I had to watch the mountain god go on a tour. After seeing the mountain god going on a tour, I was hungry, so I was going to have a big meal.It's really pious. For a young man like this, it's nothing to eat this little thing for a meal.
