This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

Dongyue, the winter solstice of the Song Dynasty is the big Chinese New Year.

Even the shops that are not closed during the Spring Festival, and three days before and after the winter solstice, there is no one in Bianjing that is open, but this does not mean that the streets and alleys are deserted.

It is almost a sacrifice for the whole people, first worshiping ancestors, and then worshiping gods and Buddhas.Therefore, after breakfast, the road was full of horses and horses, everyone went out in new clothes, and every temple was filled with smoke.

At present, the sky is like late night, when Yin and Mao meet.

Yan Buzhou woke up halfway in a daze, two or three quarters before the usual morning time, she felt that the source of warmth in the quilt was trying to leave quietly.

"Good cat, don't make trouble. Are you hungry so early to look for food?"

"Little confused, I said yesterday that I will get up early and go to the southern suburbs. Once every three years, the official family will go outside the city to worship the heavens."

Zhan Zhao pressed the hand that was restlessly moving around his waist.If possible, he would also like to sleep with Yan Buzhou in his arms until dawn.Six days after getting married, he broke the good habit of self-discipline for more than [-] years, but he didn't feel anything wrong at all, and told himself to change to a morning exercise method.

However, today can not indulge in the temptation of the quilt.

During the three-day winter solstice holiday, businesses are closed and government offices are suspended.If today is the busiest day, the emperor will marry the suburbs once every three years, and Zhao Zhen will go to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices.

Zhan Zhao took a couple of days of wedding leave. He was supposed to go to a resort in the suburbs two days ago, but he got special approval to save the newlyweds from having to suffer alone.As long as he wears the dharma clothes on the early morning of the winter solstice, he will come out on time for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

Yan Buzhou muttered a few words, she didn't pay much attention to the sacrificial matter, but she let go without continuing to make trouble, and she couldn't let Zhan Zhao be late.

"Bring the noodles and jerky, and drink a small bowl of warm soup before leaving."

Yan Buzhou rubbed his pillows and got up, but there was no need to cook breakfast, the food was already prepared last night.

The sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs takes a whole morning, and the three postures of walking, standing, and worshiping are basically repeated throughout the whole process. How can we not eat more.

Whoever's cat is distressed.After Zhan Zhao washed up, Yan Buzhou even applied a special cream on his face.The winter wind is biting, if you spend half a day in the suburbs without protection, you might turn into a peeling cat when you come back.

Thanks to this era, people are willing to live comfortably and exquisitely, and it is common for men to wear sachets with hairpins.

Although Zhan Zhao didn't like those things, he didn't refuse some daily maintenance.

What's more, there is a Gongsun Ce in Kaifeng Mansion who likes to tinker with various medicinal materials. Even Bao Zheng was forced to use whitening facial cleansing soap.

It seems to be another persistent pursuit of Gongsun Ce after he passed the Jinshi examination, and wanted to develop a soap that would make Bao Zheng's face pale.If it succeeds, it will be popular everywhere in the dynasty where fairness is the beauty.

First, I have agreed with Zhao Zhen that [-]% of the proceeds will go into the national treasury and be used for various livelihood relief.This sentence alone made Bao Zheng no longer think of refusing.

Zhan Zhao feels that Gongsun Ce may be able to succeed, and ordinary herbs are not so effective, but he and Ying Wangdong are working together to carry out heterophyseal improvement trials.

Those plants from other worlds have no distinction between good and evil, as long as they are used in the right place, they will have more than just a whitening effect.

"I estimate that I can come back before sunset at Youshi, and the officials will probably come to have a meal, so Aunt Liu will prepare some more wontons."

Zhan Zhao originally wanted Yan Buzhou to sleep a little longer, but he didn't push him back into the quilt when he heard that she would go to Qushuxuan to burn a few sticks of incense on Baisheng's behalf.

Five days ago, after attending the wedding, Baisheng left Bianjing with his long hair, saying that the little leopard demon would not be allowed to raise his fur anymore, and he wanted to take him outside to see it.

Baisheng also stayed in Bianjing for more than ten years, and since his real body was revealed, he conveniently threw Qushuxuan under the custody of Yan Buzhou, just in time to take the opportunity to go out and see the changes in the world.

Before leaving, Baisheng wrote down all the precautions for running Qushuxuan.It mentioned the winter solstice sacrifice, New Year gift giving, daily visits to the owners of Wasi's neighboring stores, and so on.

Since they live in the human world, even monsters have to go to the countryside to live a more down-to-earth life, and the high-cold way is not feasible in the market.

Yan Buzhou agreed to manage it, even though he didn't believe in customary etiquette, he promised that Baisheng would properly manage the storytelling club.I won't let him come back and see the store close down.And she also welcomes Zhao Zhen to rub wontons, not because there are not many people who can give the garden away, and they should be cherished.

"I know that Brother Zhao can't be idle, so you must attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. It's not just to follow the ancestral system, but all the officials in Beijing are required to be present. It's obviously to bring a reliable person to accompany you. Once the sacrifice to heaven is over, In the afternoon, we can walk on the snow in the countryside together."

Besides, from Zhan Zhao's proposal to the two of them getting married, three months is not a long time. Fortunately, there are two Lishan and Lishui who are good at building houses, and they slightly remodeled the wedding room, making it easier for the two of them to live live.

In order to atone for the crime of stealing melons and destroying the flower shop, the two raccoons signed a contract of selling themselves willingly, promising to work in Huangfu for seven years.

It is estimated that the barren mansion will be completely repaired a few years ago.Next, the two raccoons are like a brick, which can be moved wherever it is needed.It's really not a deliberately designed empty-glove raccoon power, it can only be said that gluttony and impulsiveness often dig holes for themselves unconsciously.

While the two were talking, Zhan Zhao looked at Geng Leak, the copper pot.

Estimating that there was enough time, he asked Yan Buzhou to sit in front of the mirror first, and then picked up a comb to gently comb his hair.

Before that, the two also had the experience of living in the same room, but when they were in a hurry to handle the case for the trip, it was only in the past few days that they began to really adapt to the life of having one person at home.

Mutual adaptation starts from the bits and pieces.

Zhan Zhao knows that Yan Buzhou is lazy in some aspects, but as long as time permits, he hopes to comb her hair every day, and it will be interesting to learn some new hairstyles regularly.

Instead of watching Yan Buzhou practice spells helplessly, just to create a single, simplest hairstyle in an instant.

Yan Buzhou looked at the hairstyle in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction, it was great that someone combed her hair patiently and gently.

No matter how efficient the spell is, it still has side effects. The moment she uses it on her hair, her scalp and hair roots will always feel the pain of being roughly shaped. "That's right, as a reward, I'll add some fish-filled wontons tonight."

Zhan Zhao smiled and bent down to kiss her, and after a while he said solemnly, "Fish is not enough, I like such rewards, the more the better."

"Greedy cat." What can I do if I don't speak properly, I must agree to the point that I couldn't agree more.In front of him, he couldn't continue to feed the cat. In order to avoid Zhan Zhao's rush, let him set off earlier.

On the day of the winter solstice, Nuan Yang showed her face in a very dignified way.

A few days ago, it snowed several times in succession, and the snow on the road was up to the ankles, but it did not prevent people from going out to offer incense.

Yan Buzhou first worshiped the God of Wealth in Qushuxuan, and then went to the deserted mansion in the outer city to burn a few sticks of incense.The apse has been given a new look, and there is a memorial tablet on the incense table, with the words "Tiandao" written on it.

"I hope that in the next six or seven years, I will be able to spend my tenure as Governor in peace. It is said that if there is love, the sky will grow old, but everyone is persevering in praying for your mercy. I sympathize with your busy business, As long as there is no chaos. Do you think it is feasible?"

Of course Tiandao would not answer.In addition to bringing down thunder disasters, it has always emphasized that silence is golden.

"Ow—"

There was a roar of a tiger in the southern suburbs.

Several guards including Zhao Zhen, Zhan Zhao, and Hei Yi were having lunch in a farmhouse. The restaurant was closed today, but the villagers of the village were very warm to entertain the travelers.

The folks in the village were originally sending food to each other, and there is a saying that the more lively the better, the better the luck. This meeting does not dislike adding a few more pairs of chopsticks.

"Uncle Wang, did I hear you right? It was the roar of a tiger just now? Why are you all smiling?"

Zhao Zhen originally ate happily, maybe it was his illusion, he always felt that the rough tea and light food outside the palace was much better than the imperial dining room in the palace.But he is a benevolent emperor, how can he be too embarrassing to the royal chef, so he never talked too much about it.

Right now, Zhao Zhen could hear the roar of the tiger. The sound was not far away, at most one or two miles away. It sounded very mighty and ferocious.When these villagers heard the tiger approaching, why were they all so calm? 'Could it be that my people have all become arhats subduing tigers?So you are not afraid of the tiger going down the mountain at all? '

The southern suburbs are very large, there are places for worshiping heaven, and there are planned demolition and resettlement sites.

Because of these two points, the patrol police and the people of Kaifeng Mansion have thoroughly checked the place several times in the past three months, first of all to ensure that there are no beasts.

Thinking of it this way, Zhao Zhen felt very strange.Where did the roar of the tiger come from, and no one reported it.

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, sir, that's the white tiger, not a cannibal tiger. It came ten days ago, and it will hunt wild game for the village in exchange for cooked food.

The village was also panicked at first, but later the village head and a group of strong men went to investigate.They have seen the real face of the White Tiger Immortal, it is a white tiger with two wings, and it is full of majesty.This is a sign of auspiciousness, God bless the Song Dynasty. "

There is a saying that when the country is about to prosper, the white tiger plays the court.

The white tiger has been regarded as auspicious since ancient times, as if its snow-white fur makes it break away from the category of hungry tiger cannibalism and be promoted to a god in one fell swoop.

Zhao Zhen is not Uncle Wang, even if the white tiger is a good omen, he still has to guard against tigers eating people.

However, the sentence that a white tiger has two wings really made the newly appeared white tiger break away from the ranks of ordinary tigers, and a demonic aura almost rushed towards his face.

"I'll take a look first."

Zhan Zhao stopped Zhao Zhen's eagerness to go with him, and he almost made Zhao Zhen copy "A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall" a hundred times. "Brother Zhao, wait here for a moment, don't worry, I don't like to fight tigers lightly."

"Okay." Zhao Zhen felt a little regretful, but he knew how to measure, and only said, "Xiong Fei, be careful, and retreat first if it is dangerous. Don't get hurt, otherwise Ah Yan will definitely make my purse bleed."

Injuried?

Zhan Zhao easily didn't dare to have it again, he hadn't forgotten the food taboo that Bu Zhou stared at last time, if he did it again, he might be banned from all the benefits such as kisses, hugs, etc.

Following the roar of the tiger, no tiger paw prints were found along the way.

After tracking to the grass where it is said that the White Tiger Immortal lived temporarily, I finally saw some chicken and duck bones, but there were no extra animal remains.

Is it true that the white tiger only eats cooked food, so it doesn't leave animal fur?Is it going up and down all the time so as not to leave any footprints?

Just as Zhan Zhao was thinking about it, he saw the grass in front of him was windless and moving, and suddenly there was a faint white mist in the bushes.

Uncle Wang said that Huxiao represented that the Daxian was going to change the food again. It was originally agreed to give it at dusk, so Zhanzhao went to the exhibition early.

"Ow?"

The tiger's cry sounded in the white mist, and it was a bit of a puzzled tone. It seemed to be asking who came and why there was no food.

The white mist thickened a bit, and in the faint glow, a tiger's figure could be seen, with a pair of wings slowly spreading on its back.

A few feet away, Zhan Zhao didn't approach rashly, he just pulled out the Juque sword, pointing at the white mist that slowly enveloped the surroundings.

Only for a moment, and heard the sound of falling to the ground.

The white mist dissipated quickly, and there was no tiger spreading its wings, and a pillow-sized hairball tumbled out of the grass.

"Oh, what bastard ruined my mist!The evil spirit of this sword is really heavy, and there is a smell of killing a stinky long snake.No, it smells really bad, it's off-putting, it's off-putting.

When I came to the world, I just wanted to take a few hot bites, why is life so difficult——』

Zhan Zhao could only hear a series of yells, and the hairball that rolled out a few steps away finally stood up, and dared to raise his head and bared his teeth and yelled at him.

This time, he saw clearly that the person who came was a white tiger, with slight bulges on both sides of its back, which looked like Nian Fei's unfinished horns, which should be a pair of immature wings.

"White Tiger Immortal? Are you a Tiger Immortal here?"

As Zhan Zhao spoke, he saw the little tiger lift his jaw slightly, and it nodded, admitting that there is no other tiger within a hundred li that deserves to be king.

The side of the barren mansion.

Yan Buzhou paid homage to the way of heaven, and as soon as he left the deserted mansion, he met Lin Yuan who was thinking about it and almost hit a tree. "David Lin, what scriptures are you thinking about? You are about to hit a tree!"

Don't underestimate Lin Yuan, even if he is fat, he can stop quickly when he hears the shout.Looking up at the tree trunk only one finger away, he patted his chest with lingering fear, then turned and walked towards Yan Buzhou.

"Thanks to Ah Yan calling me to stop me, otherwise my nose would suffer. There are so many people in the temple, I came out to take a breath. I bumped my nose, so don't be caught sneaking when you turn around."

The Town God's Temple is full of incense, and you can smell the strong aroma of sandalwood even standing on the street.

Lin Yuan immediately talked about why his mind was distracted, "I was thinking about my nose. It's snowing these days, and many people build snow lions. I don't know if Ah Yan has noticed it. Today I heard from several pilgrims that they found snow lions on the road His nose was bitten off. Do you think this is strange?"
