Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1387 Retro Competition

"Shangluo." Phaethon also asked, "Are you serious?"

He replied to Phaethon in private chat:
"Ah, there is no other way. In order to obtain good luck, we have to let everyone participate in the grand folk activities! I will pay for all the medical expenses!"

[Great! I want to see a river of blood! ]

"Ah," Victoria covered her forehead, "It's really like going home, but it's okay this way. I haven't watched it for a long time. I didn't expect that there is such a folk custom in Zhendan. It turns out that everyone has the same hobbies. They say they go to watch the game, but in fact they all want to watch a car crash."

Director Huang noticed that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly strange:
"Shangluo, you have to think carefully. Someone will really go to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital? That's great. Now is the time to show the results of the Heavenly Court's research. By now, Director Huang, you already know that the court is planning an ascension."

Director Huang nodded. With miracles happening one after another, everyone could guess that the court was planning a grand undertaking—but the specific details were still unclear.

However, judging from the court's style of doing things, it can be seen that the court hopes that everyone can participate in this matter, which is still a good thing.

"So I plan to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to promote the fine local cultural traditions. We can't let the Cantonese look down on us! We have to fight too!"

"What's there to compare?" Director Huang pressed his forehead. "Then are you going to go to Yiwu or somewhere like that and invite everyone over to organize a league?"

"How did you know?"

"Shangluo, you underestimated the scale of the dragon parade during the Spring Festival. It's not just one or two, but every village has one. There is one team in our Wutaishan area, 40 teams in Jiangning County, more than in the whole Yingtian Prefecture, and to teams in Nanzhili. All the dragons are running, you want to see the water flooding Chentang Pass, right?"

"There's no need to call everyone here. Well, we can just invite some well-known teams to participate. When does the event start?"

"From the first month to the second day of the second month."

"Then we'll have a small competition on February 2nd. We'll have a big competition on February 2nd. Don't worry, I'll give out golden elixirs to everyone."

"Golden elixir?"

"It's a golden elixir that makes anyone who eats it invulnerable to swords and guns."

"Good fellow," Phaethon understood, "You don't want to watch the dragon lantern, you want to engage in unlimited group fighting."

[The last time I saw this kind of scene was in the lion fight in Huang Feihong's movie. Hundreds of people fighting with dragon lanterns is really exciting! And all the participants are amateurs, which is the most interesting. ]

"Wait, wait." Shangluo waved his hand. "It's better not to let ordinary people get involved in this matter - except for those with extraordinary talents. In this process, I still hope that the Qigong practitioners will be the leaders of the most intense competition. At least this way, no one will really get hurt."

【Then this will be auspicious, right?】

"I'm not doing this for myself. I just want to entertain everyone - although I'm also going to participate, this is just for fun and doesn't require any special preparation. Oh, by the way, Director Huang, do we need to draw lots to select the position of the dragon lantern?"

Director Huang nodded and said, "I will distribute the lottery tickets. There are two groups of lottery tickets, the dragon head group and the dragon tail group. You can discuss your positions. The rest of you will line up according to the number you drew."

"Okay, okay, I'll draw the lot right away." "Then Shangluo, take out your bench."

"Bench?" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "What bench?"

"This dragon is made of benches, of course, each family uses their own benches. It's a community event, and using your own benches is a very important part of this event. It would be meaningless if you don't use your own benches."

“Do we have a bench at home?”

"Yes." Phaethon shook his head. "Is this still your home? I feel like I know your home better than you do."

"That's good." Shangluo decided, "Then, I will participate in the competition."

"Okay, then." Director Huang took out the lottery stick holder and said, "Don't put it back after you draw it. Just hold on to it."

Shangluo stretched out his hand and drew a lot - the head of the lot was red.

"Oh!" Director Huang nodded. "As expected, you are lucky and got the dragon head. Then you may be the one to carry the dragon head this year."

"Wait, can I ask for help from outside the venue? Like my classmates?"

"Ah." Director Huang glanced at him, "You want to invite Wen Yuan, right?"

"Do you know him?" Shangluo asked.

"I've seen the Jinyiwei who always comes to your house so many times that I know him. After all, a Jinyiwei so young can be considered a little famous. But unfortunately, I'm afraid he can't come. We checked with the police station at Confucius Temple a few days ago, and it seems that Wen Yuan over there has also drawn the dragon head. So he wants to fight with you."

[Great! I want to see Shangluo's blood flow like a river!] Apollonia became more and more excited. Before, Shangluo had always fought with outsiders, but now she could finally see him fighting with his own people. She had been waiting for a long time.

"."

[What? Don’t you want good luck? This is the most auspicious.]

"Wait a minute." Shangluo thought for a moment, "Can I ask a question - is the inside of the imperial palace considered a district?"

"You know what? Actually, it is counted. The Xiaoling Guards in the palace also have to form a team, but it seems that the Xiaoling Guards don't draw lots. They decide the candidates among themselves. Well, maybe you can see someone you know."

"I didn't expect that you have such abundant martial virtues here." Victoria sighed, "It's hard for me to imagine what such an event would look like in Rome. At least the elders of the Senate themselves are unwilling to participate in such an event."

"That's fine." Shang Luo glanced at his date. This whole event didn't require rehearsal, and he estimated that there were only a few key competitions to participate in. "Then just treat it as an event organized by me. Director Huang, you guys continue here, I'll go back and discuss it with the palace."

I need to discuss this with Zhu Xianxi. Although it is not a big deal, holding a festival can be big or small. If it can be organized smoothly, it can also enhance everyone's perception of the spiritual world.

Director Huang blinked. "Good fellow, if I had known that telling you this would lead to so many things, I would have thought twice. Ah, it doesn't matter. I'm not from Yingtian. It's so fun to watch the landlord perform for us. Ah, sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm from Yingtian in spirit. I love Yingtian. I'll cheer you on by the track."
