Chapter 498: Entering the City, Incense God and Good Fortune
After comforting the woman, Li Changxiao put the long robe he had bought on her, completely covering the black body-covering robe, and then put a mask on her. In this way, she no longer looked like a person who had been stripped of his identity.
After making all these preparations, Li Changxiao and Wang Ruyi walked around Fu Yu City for a whole day and entered the city through a different gate. Because there were many incense burners and gods gathered in the city and many people were watching, they had to be cautious.
It is not a good thing to alert the enemy. Although Li Changxiao does not take things to heart easily, if he takes it to heart, he will still deal with it carefully and plan seriously.
When the two entered the city, it was early morning. There was a long queue of ox carts and horse carriages outside the city. The two followed the queue and entered the city in an orderly manner. When they stepped into the city and walked on the bluestone streets, the long-lost atmosphere of an ordinary city came to their noses, which made them feel very emotional. Although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, they lack people after all. If they only care about the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers and ignore the charm of the city, it is nothing more than a pretense of being elegant.
Li Changxiao smiled as he chatted with Goudan, who was pulling an ox cart to the city to attend the market. They talked about trivial matters. Li Changxiao was always like this. He could chat with anyone. If he liked someone, he would take the initiative to talk to him and joke around. He was obviously very familiar with them, but he was always at a distance. But sometimes it seemed that the "distance" made it easier for people to confide in him and tell him what was in their hearts. It was like a "tree hole", because the tree hole could not speak, could not move, and could not walk. Even if they knew a secret, they had nowhere to tell it, so they could confide in it without worry. The feeling given by the white clothes was also similar.
At this moment, Goudan was talking about everything, cursing corrupt officials and neighbors, saying that there was no good person among them. Li Changxiao suspected that if this guy turned around, he might also be "disgraced". Of course, this was just a joke. Goudan's words did make some sense, and he was a real person.
Li Changxiao became interested and asked Goudan to comment on the current empress. Upon hearing this, Wang Ruyi gave him an angry look. This guy was deliberately making fun of her!
However, Wang Ruyi pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He really wanted to know what his reputation was among the people, whether it was good or bad. Goudan covered his mouth and shook his head, but he didn't dare to make a random comment. Instead, he jumped up and pointed at Li Changxiao and cursed him, saying that he was vicious and wanted to kill him with his mouth. He almost got into trouble. The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not as they used to be. People's hearts are not as they used to be.
He left after saying this, leaving Wang Ruyi laughing out loud. That silver bell-like laughter was pleasant to the ear. This fellow made fun of him and got scolded instead. Li Changxiao was not angry, he also laughed and chased after Goudan to apologize, saying that it was just a small token of apology and a few sweet dreams, but not a sign of respect.
Goudan became even angrier. He picked up a shovel from the ox cart and chased Li Changxiao for several streets. He felt that this bastard was deliberately chasing him and making fun of him.
It was a chaotic scene, and it was really hard to describe, but it also brought some life to the city. Li Changxiao was chased and beaten, and Wang Ruyi was no exception. She couldn't catch up with Li Changxiao, so she just fell down. Li Changxiao turned back, held her under his armpit, and ran for several streets before she escaped Goudan's pursuit.
"See who dares to say I'm stupid!" Goudan glared, looked smug, and left with his hands on his hips.
I just don’t know if he can still be so arrogant after having sweet and lucid dreams for several days in a row, and whether he will feel scared about what happened today.
In the alley, Li Changxiao looked at Wang Ruyi and thought that it was really interesting for a great emperor to be chased by a dog. It was really interesting, so the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled lightly. Wang Ruyi stamped his feet in anger, but then he thought, that handsome man in white clothes, with great strength, was still being chased? He turned around and found it funny, so he laughed.
After this incident, Wang Ruyi calmed down a lot. After spending a long time with Bai Yi, she gradually understood Bai Yi's character. He was not a person who cared about others. He was interesting, but sometimes he could make people angry. He also loved watching operas. Although he took good care of her, he was also considerate, but by no means meticulous.
Sometimes Bai Yi knew everything, but he just stood aside, drinking a little wine, watching her in distress, and just didn't want to help. But it can't be said that he was not gentle. His gentleness was always hidden in a hidden place, like a breeze in the early morning to wash away the fatigue... But Wang Ruyi knew that his gentleness was not only for her. He was born like this, but the more he was like this, the more he touched her heart.
Fuyu City is very large. Hezi, the land god, and the city god have all entered the city, as if they were secretly planning something. They did not show their faces and hid in the dark.
But he seems to be particularly concerned about people in white. Some time ago, when Li Changxiao went into the city to buy clothes, he was noticed by him and stared at for a long time before taking anything away.
It did not arouse suspicion, but Li Changxiao felt something was wrong. His appearance was not bad, but not to the extent that he would be noticed by the immortals and stared at for a long time.
I'm afraid...something is happening secretly where I can't see, or maybe my whereabouts have been exposed?
Fuyu City is not a mountainous city. The city is well-ordered and orderly, and the people live and work happily. The atmosphere is very good. There are many shops along the way. Wang Ruyi passed by a clothing store and saw the novel fabrics. He liked them very much and felt mixed emotions. If they were made into clothes and worn on the body, they would definitely show off their elegance. It would also let the white-clothed man see that he was not the only one in the world who was good-looking.
But considering the financial resources of that person, she had to give up. She turned her head and looked at the man who was squinting and looking at the wine gourd eagerly, and sighed. How should she evaluate this man?
However, it is not necessary to evaluate.
……
Fu Yu City is located in the southwest, bordering Xifeng Mountain to the west, Wushen Territory to the north, Jihua River to the east, and Gushan Basin to the south.
The landform is complex. It is under the jurisdiction of the God of the West, and is also under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Mountain 200 miles away. Such landform and topography make Fu Yu City special. People are in awe of the God of Incense and are afraid that the incense in the temple will not reach the mountain god.
I also looked at the big bronze censer, burning with incense, and wandered around the mountains, rivers, water, and forests, letting the incense spread all over the mountains and forests. That kind of piety was jaw-dropping.
There are four or five gods gathered in Fu Yu City, and they gathered in a private room of a restaurant. It is said that immortals and gods are not tainted by the mundane world, but in fact, not only are they tainted by it, they are also greedy for money, wealth, people, and many other things.
Incense begins with public opinion.
And among mortals, doesn’t the money circulating represent public opinion?
