Chapter 305 In the hands of the red tent and the jade cake
Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin walked on the deserted street. They did not expect that the fairy mentioned by the residents would have such a great influence. The whole city showed the scene of an empty city. The shops on both sides of the street and the
The stalls in the corner of the street were unattended, the doors of the shops were not even closed, and the goods on the stalls were not collected, but the people disappeared without a trace.
The young bandit Ma Chenghui followed them. He looked at the empty city with a curious look on his face, and his eyes were astonished. At the same time, there was a glimmer of greed hidden in his surprised eyes. The bandit's nature was not like that.
Change, the life of robbing houses for many years made him see that any good things or goods would be robbed and kept as his own. But he still restrained the desire in his heart and followed Zhao Kuangyin obediently.
Walking on the cold and cold streets, there was a cold wind blowing everywhere, and not even a single person was seen. A faint burst of cheers came to their ears, it must be the Dingzhou residents admiring the legendary fairy
Where they were, Ling Tianyun and the others did not walk too fast, looking for the faint cheers.
After walking through several streets and alleys for more than half an hour, they saw the shaking figures, and some people running in a hurry, all leaving where the cheers were. When Ling Tianyun saw them
The direction in which the figure was running was towards the east of the city, which should be outside the city. They followed several figures who were rushing towards them, and sure enough, they arrived at the east gate of Dingzhou City. Here was
More people rushed out of the city gate in a hurry.
There were only a few listless soldiers wandering under the city gate. Although they were wearing bright armor, their expressions revealed a bit of dejected helplessness. Their expressionless faces looked at that person blankly.
A group of passers-by rushed out, holding the weapons in their hands feebly.
Ling Tianyun glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, very confused. He did not expect that the defense of the border city Dingzhou was so loose. It could be said that these soldiers and armors had become decorations. Any slightly elite army could easily defeat Dingzhou.
The city was captured without any effort. This group of listless soldiers had no combat effectiveness. Apart from the armor, they could see the temperament and spirit of any soldier.
He looked up at the other soldiers standing guard on the city wall. Although their mental outlook was slightly better, Ling Tianyun still felt that they were weak and vulnerable. The weapons in their hands were already covered with layers of rust.
There is no aura of strength in his body. On the contrary, the residents here have an aura of incomparable strength in their bodies and styles, while the soldiers guarding the city are like frail scholars. Such a sharp contrast makes Ling Tianyun feel uneasy about this majestic place.
The empire in the Central Plains looked down upon him a bit, but the general from the Great Zhou Kingdom next to him had a calm expression and did not react at all to Ling Tianyun's strange gaze.
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin's expression remained unchanged, Ling Tianyun began to murmur again. According to common sense, such a vulnerable defender could not be ignored by Zhao Kuangyin, who was proficient in the art of war, unless there was something he had not discovered yet. As he followed the flow,
Taking advantage of the passers-by, Ling Tianyun carefully looked at the defense situation on the city wall again.
However, he still didn't see any strands, so he could only follow Zhao Kuangyin in confusion.
Walking out of the east gate of Dingzhou City, a broad river like a dragon's roar appeared in front of him. The turbid river water roared down with a rushing momentum, and there were wisps of cold air above the river surface.
Like smoke. The strong wind blowing across the river blew away the river water containing yellow sand, forming one wild wave after another, ups and downs, non-stop. What a magnificent river. Ling Tianyun couldn't help but feel in his heart
Sighing secretly, he knew that this big river was the Yellow River.
There was a large square in front of the city gate. The residents of Dingzhou City who had taken advantage of the opportunity gathered here. At a glance, they could see a sea of people, elbow to shoulder. From time to time, bursts of cheers came out from the crowd.
The cheers were like waves stirred by the wind, and the cheers were as deafening as thunder. Everyone was in high spirits, their eyes were filled with excitement, and their faces were flushed with excitement.
Zhao Kuangyin, Ling Tianyun and Ma Chenghui avoided the crowd and stood on a small hillside, where they could have a clear view of the scene down the slope.
They could clearly see a gorgeous ship parked in the middle of the Yellow River, four or five feet away from the shore. The colorful ribbons highlighted the graceful and noble temperament of the gorgeous ship. The two-story ship
The ship, with a faint white mist flowing on it, is like a fairyland on earth floating on the river. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, full of longing, and even more want to step on the ship to have a glimpse of it.
Everything on the ship.
Several graceful figures danced gracefully on the deck of the ship, with a charming aura in their graceful figures. Those light figures were actually a few beauties in their twenties and eighties.
Wearing light tulle long skirts, they are really like fairies descending from a fairyland. Their snow-white skin, which appears and disappears, exudes an intoxicating and charming atmosphere from time to time, making people feel as if they are in reverie.
.
Ling Tianyun stared at the ship. In the center of the ship was a woman in palace clothes wearing a gauze face. It was obvious that this woman was the owner of the ship. The veil and smoke-like palace clothes revealed the
This woman has a noble and elegant temperament, because the woman is wearing a layer of tulle, which gives people a mysterious feeling like a mist. It is impossible to get a full picture of her, and it is impossible to know her age, but all she can see is
I saw a gaze like a stream of autumn water shining out of her glass-like eyes.
The woman in royal attire stands tall on the bow of the boat. Her incomparable figure exudes a light and earthly temperament, coupled with the lingering light mist around her. She is simply like the nine-day fairy descending to the mortal world, which is unbearable.
Any intention of blasphemy. The woman in palace attire held a lotus-shaped treasure vase in her hand, and with a solemn expression, she poured a stream of pure jade-like water from the vase into the Yellow River.
After she finished the movements in her hands, the young beauties dancing on the deck of the ship also stopped and stood behind the woman in palace attire. Holding the vase in their hands, the palace
The pretending woman looked around at the people on the shore for a while and made a silent gesture.
Suddenly, the people standing on the shore were silent, but they could not hide the burning admiration in their eyes. The high emotions appeared on their faces, and the blazing light in their eyes weaved into a large net.
, as if he wished he could keep those young beauties standing on the ship.
When everyone stopped cheering, the woman in palace clothes showed an extremely solemn expression on her face, and a few rays of extremely compassionate eyes shot out from her eyes.
"Our Lady of the White Lotus is passing by here. You are all the most beloved people of Our Lady. She will protect her people from disasters. Today I have the fate to meet the people of Our Lady. It is the appearance of Our Lady. I have specially asked my disciples to offer a bottle of holy water.
Pour it into the Yellow River, so that her people can drink the water from the Yellow River without disaster and live long lives."
The voice of the woman in palace attire was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present. Her tone was filled with endless compassion, as if she were the compassionate Virgin. And her tone was also filled with a hint of compassion.
The supreme majesty makes people have the urge to worship. There is a clear and cold voice in those charming words. She is the Holy Mother of Mercy who fell into the world and saved the people from fire and water.
the incarnation of.
"The Holy Mother appears, the Holy Mother appears!!", and sure enough, the group of people standing in front of Dingzhou City by the Yellow River knelt down one after another, shouting. Suddenly, there was a dark crowd of people kneeling and worshiping, and they shouted
Shouting, they kept kowtowing to the ship on the Yellow River. With their extremely pious expressions and shouting, in their hearts, those beautiful women on the ship were the ones in their hearts.
A fairy, and the woman in palace attire with her face covered is the incarnation of the Virgin.
Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin stood on the hillside with solemn expressions on their faces. They did not expect that with such few words, the residents of Dingzhou City would kneel down and worship like gods. Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other speechlessly.
Stormy waves rose in his heart at the same time, but Ma Chenghui, who was standing next to Zhao Kuangyin, had a calm face. He was not seduced by any charm, nor was he at all confused by the ethereal fairy-like voice on the ship.
"A group of evil followers of the White Lotus Sect," a sentence suddenly burst out from Ma Chenghui's mouth, and his eyes also shot out hateful looks. The usually silent bandit took the initiative to speak at this time, and
He said with gritted teeth. His face was twisted with resentment, which made Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin stunned at the same time. It seemed that there was some hidden story that happened to the bandit.
"Yes, they are the disciples of the White Lotus Sect. They serve themselves by educating the people and fooling the world. They preach the mercy of the Holy Mother, and all the people in the world are the subjects of the Holy Mother." Zhao Kuangyin's eyes shone with fierce light, and he said solemnly. And he
There is more of a look of fear in his eyes. A group of cults that mainly educate and fool the people can end so many people's hearts. How can this not make him feel fearful?
"People of the Holy Mother, let me show you the miracle of the Holy Mother today." The woman in palace clothes who stood at the bow of the ship clearly saw the three people of Ling Tianyun standing on the shore, and a cold look shot out of her eyes.
The light was quickly hidden by her. She released her hands and pressed them on the river, silently reciting incomprehensible words like a spell.
After reciting a few incantations, she saw her slender hand that was lying on the surface of the river raised in the air, and suddenly, a vision came to her.
I saw the wind-swept river surface immediately rolling wildly, and there was a turbulent wave. Then, the turbulent river surface suddenly rushed out several water columns. The majestic water column rolled up and rushed straight towards the gray sky.
Go, the water column as thick as a bucket rolls up with yellow and white water, like four giant dragons rising into the sky from the river.
At this time, the wind was fierce, and the billowing water column maintained for several breaths, and then with a "swish" sound, it turned into little drops of water rain in the air and floated towards the kneeling crowd.
The eyes of the people who were kneeling in worship showed eager and pious gazes. Drops of water were sprinkled on them, causing them to say again: "The Holy Mother appears, long live the Holy Mother." Everyone was pious and did not ignore what happened to them.
Wiping away the water droplets, they regarded these as gifts from the Virgin Mary, and soaked them with holy water to ensure their health and worry-free life.
"People of the Holy Mother, the Holy Mother will choose a destined person among you. Are you willing to be the disciples of the Holy Mother?" The woman in palace clothes glanced at the three people standing on the hillside.
A strange light shot out. She waved her delicate hand holding the vase again and said softly.
"We are willing to become the disciples of the Holy Mother, please have mercy on the Holy Mother." Those who could not kneel down and worshiped cheered. They could not hide their expressions of surprise. They had seen the Holy Mother's magical skills with their own eyes. If they had such magical skills,
It's like worrying that glory and wealth can be obtained without letting one's hands down.
When he saw the woman in palace attire on the bow of the boat looking towards the three of them, Ling Tianyun had a bad feeling in his heart. And the words of the woman in palace attire that followed made him feel a surge of emotion.
Feeling uneasy, he knew that the woman in palace attire was targeting the three of them. Although the woman in palace attire did not know how to make the surging river water lift up several water columns as thick as buckets, but this
There must be something fishy. Although he didn't understand how this was done, he knew that the other party must have used shady means.
