I am a fairy

Chapter 180 Linghua Jun Enters the Capital (Wish Everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
In addition to circling Huajing on three sides, the Donghua River also has several branches that pass through the capital. The complex river canals are accompanied by layers of bridges and boats that pass through the city.

This river with convenient water transportation has gathered all the wealth in the world, bringing prosperity and luxury, and also filling the entire capital with a feminine atmosphere.

It was still dark early in the morning.

The port on the Donghua River west of the capital was already crowded with people. It could be said that the entire capital knew the news.

"National Master Linghua will arrive in the capital today."

There are myths about Yunzhongjun and various legends about gods and witches in Chu.

Nowadays, the news has become a hot topic in the entire capital, and almost everyone is talking about it.

Even some Chu-made porcelain, jade, cloth and clothes became popular in Huajing and were snatched up by the powerful and wealthy. Even the Nuo masks of shamans were bought for huge sums of money. This also shows the attitude of the entire capital towards welcoming the gods and shamans into the capital.

"I heard that yesterday, Your Majesty received a vision from Yunzhongjun in his dream."

"Really?"

"Of course it is true. I heard that His Majesty has already ordered the painter of the Shaofu to paint the scene in his dream."

"I wonder what Ling Huajun looks like."

The sky is bright.

A large group of guards holding lanterns and wearing hats passed through the street. A closer look at the lanterns revealed that they were red gauze lanterns with gold on them. There were a total of 200 pairs of them, and the whole street was lit up as they moved forward.

When the people in the capital saw it, they knew that the emperor was on tour.

The leading chariot and the guards clearing the way immediately cleared a path on the avenue, and the surging crowd was pushed to both sides.

The harbor was also completely cleared.

Hundreds of people in official uniforms poured out and stood on both sides of the street, all the way to the edge of the harbor. A large number of officials surrounded the imperial carriage. The imperial guards and soldiers from various departments checked everywhere and stopped passers-by from making noise. There were also court musicians playing music in front and behind.

After the royal carriage arrived at the port.

By the Donghua River.

The emperor, eunuchs and close attendants stood in the center, with the prime minister and civil and military officials on the left, and princes, nobles and royal family members on the right.

In full view of everyone, the far end of the Donghua River.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, a ship finally slowly sailed towards the capital.

"Here it comes, here it comes!" The noise was overwhelming.

"We're finally here." The officials whispered to each other.

"Imperial Master, our dynasty's Imperial Master has arrived." Even the emperor shouted.

The ship gradually stopped at the harbor.

Although the ship looked large and was beautifully decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, it was just an ordinary ship in the eyes of people in the capital.

Everyone came here before dawn, standing on tiptoe and looking at the boat. They were not looking at the boat itself, but were eagerly waiting for the person to walk out of the boat. They wanted to see what the so-called celestial being looked like.

"Where is Linghua Jun? Where is Linghua Jun?"

"It hasn't come out yet!"

"I heard that Linghua Jun is a person who came from heaven and looks different from ordinary people."

"It is said to be a match made in heaven."

"What does Tianrenxiang mean?"

"It just means good-looking."

"How beautiful can she be? People have said before how beautiful Princess Fengyu is. I have seen her before under Longde, and she is not that good!"

Under the spotlight.

Towards the sun.

A figure slowly walked out of the cabin and stood at the highest point of the ship.

Everyone was looking at her up there, and she was also looking at everyone below.

From this angle, the sunlight shines on the other person, and everyone on the shore can clearly see the person's figure and face.

And precisely because it was so clear, the morning sun was so bright, and everyone stood in astonishment under the sunlight, in front of the shadow of the boat.

Linghua Jun wore a white men's robe and a silver crown. His clothes were embroidered with blue clouds, sun and moon. He was taller than many ordinary men.

Compared to the imagined gods in heaven, his face is as picturesque as a painting and his eyebrows are like distant mountains, but he seems to lack the hazy beauty in the imagined fairy paintings.

Compared to the imagined immortal saints in the mountains, he is extremely graceful and elegant, as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is condensed in one body, but without the inaccessible vagueness of the distant mountains in the fog.

But this figure is real.

Because this is the real world.

The haziness of the painting and the vagueness of the imagination were swept away, and everyone felt as if a person from heaven had really walked down from the nine heavens and entered the mortal world.

The other person was standing there, and even though he was clearly seen by everyone, people still felt that the figure was incompatible with the real world, as if the clouds in the sky had fallen into the earth. Even though the other person was standing on the boat, people still worried that the fireworks of this world would pollute the pure white of the clouds.

"Linghua-kun?"

"God, it really is a god!"

"This, this looks even better than in the picture!"

"He is indeed not a mortal. How can a mortal look like this?"

"Meet the gods!"

Even though the person on the high ship did not speak, everyone confirmed that it was Lord Linghua.

The man merely showed up and did nothing but stood there.

Under the ship, everyone knelt down, bowed their heads and worshiped.

It seems that having a peerless beauty is also a kind of magical power.

There are gods and humans on the boat, and all living beings under the boat.

It’s all here.

Under the boat, the emperor looked at Linghua Jun on the boat.

This scene immediately matched yesterday's dream, except for the absence of the circle of light behind his head and the overwhelming aura that overwhelmed the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces, there was absolutely no difference at all.

It is said that the divine witch is the human body of Yun Zhongjun.

Looking at it at this moment, they are exactly the same.

"really."

"It was indeed Yun Zhongjun who appeared in my dream yesterday!"

The emperor stepped forward impatiently, and his personal attendants, civil and military officials, and royal nobles all followed him forward, and the entire square array then moved closer to the boat.

Looking up, the emperor raised his hand excitedly and asked.

"But the Imperial Master Linghua Jun?"

Linghua Jun looked at the figure below. The emperor was wearing a crown with twelve tassels, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the person he saw yesterday.

Linghua Jun nodded and said while looking down.

"Yes."

"I am invited by His Majesty to come to the capital."

Afterwards, all the civil and military officials were seen congratulating together.

"Welcome to the Imperial Master Linghua!"
-
"The emperor has issued an order!"

"The Yaohua Pond and the Bishui Garden outside Kailongde Gate."

"You may enjoy the scenery to your heart's content from today till tomorrow morning. The Censorate has issued a notice that no one may be impeached."

The eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shouted to convey the imperial decree, and the surrounding guards and servants followed suit. They also posted the list of notices, and the people naturally cheered along.

This allowed the common people in the city to enter the royal gardens to visit the gardens and watch the various performances, have fun together with the common people, and welcome the gods and witches to the capital.

The diameter of Yaohua Pond is about ten miles, not far from the imperial city. On the south bank is a tall palace from which you can see the entire water surface. Outside the gate of Bishuiyuan on the north bank are a large number of stalls.

There was also a large ship parked in the Yaohua Pool, where actors, musicians, dancers and the like performed for the emperor and the people to watch.

The emperor and all the civil and military officials were in the palace on the south bank, while the common people were inside and outside the gate on the north bank.

"play music!"

The emperor, his imperial carriage and Lord Linghua's carriage entered the forest garden, and the court band began to play music.

After entering the palace on the south bank, the emperor sat on the dragon couch on one side, but set up an altar specifically for Linghua Jun on the other side.

The civil and military officials felt incredible about this courtesy, but then they took it for granted.

When a being holds the power to easily destroy a hundred thousand soldiers, overthrow a country and destroy the ancestral temple, it seems that no amount of courtesy would be too much.

After the two men took their seats, all the civil and military officials began to return to their seats.

Performances also began on the boats in the pond, including flag dances performed by the imperial guards and a puppet show with puppets. There were also a large number of small boats lined up under the boats, performing other kinds of performances.

"Good good!"

"Jump higher. Jump higher."

“It’s flying.”

Whenever the performance reached a wonderful part, such as when several actors in the variety show piled on top of each other, stood on each other's shoulders and jumped higher and higher, there would be bursts of loud cheers from the north bank, and the scene was extremely lively.

Hearing that voice, all the civil and military officials and the emperor could not help but smile.

However, at this time everyone will also look at Linghua Jun.

just.

The other person's face was indifferent, as if it had not changed at all from beginning to end.

This made the emperor and all the civil and military officials a little worried. They didn't know whether Linghua didn't like it or looked down on the theatrics of the world.

It was not until nightfall that the emperor began to host a banquet for all officials.

During the day, the entire Yaohua Pool and Bishui Garden were crowded with people and the shouts were deafening. At night, lanterns were lit up and the place became brightly lit with overlapping shadows of people.

In the palace on the south bank.

The nobles in gorgeous clothes looked even more noble under the lights. Even the servants in the palace were dressed in silk and gold and silver. Their wealth was beyond the imagination of people outside the capital.

"Give me a feast!"

"Give me a feast!"

The monk stretched his throat to make a long tone, and the sound spread farther and farther.

All kinds of delicious delicacies that are hard to find in the world were brought up and placed on the table.

A group of palace maids wearing red silk and gold-embroidered skirts and red hairpins came forward with food boxes, placed the silver plates, jade dishes and gold cups on the table in front of the shaman, and then retreated.

But Linghua Jun just looked at it and didn't move his chopsticks, so the people below began to whisper to each other, thinking that Linghua Jun was dissatisfied.

The emperor also saw it, frowned, and said something to the eunuch beside him.

Then they saw that the eunuchs and palace maids were terrified, and they immediately made arrangements in a hurry to replace the plates and bowls on Linghua Jun's desk.

"Change again."

"Change again."

After changing it several times, Ling Huajun finally spoke. "No need to change it, these are all!"

The beautiful palace maids looked at each other, then said yes in unison, then bent down and retreated.

Linghua Jun was still watching the performance on the river when a temple servant came over to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty asks, does Lord Linghua have any other requests?"

Linghua Jun finally withdrew his gaze and said.

"The Hundred Plays are very interesting. I was fascinated by them without realizing it."

However, when Linghua Jun said this, the people present did not quite believe it. From beginning to end, they did not look like they were fascinated. They sat there like a motionless clay idol, with no expression at all.

But Linghua Jun couldn't say that Yunzhong Jun was like this, and she didn't explain.

Linghua Jun finally moved his chopsticks, then picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then frowned.

The temple servant observed: "Mr. Linghua, are the wine and food all to your liking?"

Linghua Jun: "The wine is a little bad."

The temple servants looked at each other in bewilderment. The wine that was brought out could be described as fine wine to ordinary people, but the Lord Linghua in front of them said that the wine was a little worse.

But when I think about it, it seems that I can't come up with anything better.

because.

What they took out and placed here today must be the best in the world.

But then they saw several witches and shamans beside Linghua Jun coming over with a glass fairy lantern, and each of them was holding a pot of wine in their hands.

The lamps were completely different from those in the temple; each one was as bright as the moon.

As soon as these people walked in.

Then I saw that the palace was a little brighter.

Wherever they passed, people looked out, gazing at the light with either curiosity or shock.

"Look at that person's hand."

"What kind of lamp is this?"

"It doesn't seem to be a fire?"

The lamp was crystal clear and one could see directly into the scene inside. One could only vaguely see a round halo of light, but one could tell it was definitely not a candle.

Someone in the hall came closer to take a look, but found the light too dazzling. He immediately drew his head back in horror and blocked his eyes with his hands.

"What kind of light is so bright?"

"Could it be that the moonlight from the sky was drawn down?"

"I seem to have heard someone say that Lord Linghua can bring down the moonlight."

However, they were not here to display the lamp, but to deliver wine.

One of the witches came to Lord Linghua and opened the lid of the wine jug on the table. The rich aroma of wine spread throughout the entire palace.

All the officials and nobles looked over in surprise.

"What's that smell?"

"The wine smells really good."

"What kind of wine can be so fragrant?"

Even the guards outside the palace turned around, wrinkled their noses and sniffed again and again.

After the witch poured a cup for Linghua Jun, Linghua Jun continued to say, send it to the civil and military officials in the palace and the emperor.

Some of the magical wine was placed in pots on the desks of the civil and military officials in the palace. One pot was placed on the desk of the emperor. However, the emperor was ill and could not drink, so the wine was given to the royal family and nobles as a reward.

Everyone drank it and exclaimed in amazement.

Someone shouted: "Good wine, really good wine."

Someone raised his glass and took a closer look: "Look at the color, it's flawless, just like the spring water from Tianshan Mountain."

Someone sniffed and said: "This fragrance is like a person intoxicated by hundreds of flowers. Could it be that the essence of hundreds of flowers has been collected and integrated into it?"

Then everyone exclaimed: "This is truly a divine brew from heaven!"

but.

Not long after, after just two drinks, I saw him falling on the table in a daze.

Immediately, the eunuchs and palace maids ran over and saw that the man was already drunk.

"Hahahahaha!"

Not only were the people amazed at the strength of the wine, but the witches and shamans under Lord Linghua's seat couldn't help but laugh softly.

But they knew how strong this wine was. It was completely incomparable to any other wine in the mortal world.

Linghua Jun didn't pay too much attention to all this, he just looked at the boat outside.

She had indeed been watching the opera and enjoyed it very much, but as night fell, although lights were on in the palace and on the ship, they were still a little dim.

Linghua Jun looked up at the sky and spoke.

"Before I knew it, it had gotten so dark."

"It's so dark, there's really no way to watch anymore."

The eunuch standing by said hurriedly, "I will order someone to add more lights immediately."

Linghua Jun: “No need.”

Temple servant: "Don't worry, Lord Linghua, I will do it right away..."

However, Linghua Jun said, "I can just borrow a ray of light from the sky."

After hearing this, the temple servant was stunned.

"Borrow... borrow... borrow a ray of light from the sky?"

Before he and the others in the hall could understand what this meant, they saw Linghua Jun wearing the appearance of a god. The feeling was completely different, and he was suddenly shrouded in a layer of mystery.

The wizard put on a mask, raised his hand and whispered a spell.

The words fell.

The curse connects heaven and earth, summons gods and sends away ghosts.

Then he really saw a ray of light falling from the sky and landing on the boat in Yaohua Pool.

The light came from high above the temple, illuminating the entire ship and making it appear dazzling in the darkness.

The light then spread throughout the water of the Yaohua Pond. The layered refraction effects made the lake water seem to have turned into a glowing mirror, or the Yaohua Pond into a moon on the ground.

Everything around became brighter.

This scene is truly amazing and beautiful.

After doing all this.

The wizard lowered his hands and looked at the pool of water.

"That's much better."

At this time, everyone in the hall came to their senses.

Whether they were civil and military officials, their wives and children, the emperor and his attendants, or the royal family members attending the banquet, they all stood up.

An old man stood on tiptoe in shock, looking at the glowing water: "Did the moon in the sky fall down?"

Someone was holding a wine glass and swaying: "It seems that I am really drunk."

The temple servant next to Ling Huajun was even more shocked: "Did they really borrow the moonlight from the sky?"

Someone rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I dreaming?"

A female member of the family looked at the moon-shadow glass lamp held by the witch and shaman: "So, the lamp is really filled with moonlight?"

Even the emperor was dumbfounded: "Unbelievable, really unbelievable, it really is a god with real magical powers!"

Not just inside the palace.

There was also an uproar outside the hall at this moment.

Before, only the emperor and his officials could see the glazed lamps and immortal wine in the hall, but now the light coming down from "the sky" could also be seen by the people on the other side of the river.

Immediately, we saw that all the people on the north bank were in motion, and deafening shouts came over the water. The sound was enough to show the extent of everyone's shock.

In addition to this, a large number of people in Huajing also noticed the light falling from the sky, pointing here in shock and talking about it.

Just this time.

It not only illuminated the Yaohua Pond, but also caused all the people performing acrobatics on the boats in the pond to stop at once.

The people on the boat were so frightened that they hid everywhere, at a loss as to what to do, like little devils on earth who dared not to be touched by the light of heaven.

At this time, the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs ran out and shouted at the boat.

"This is the light that Lord Linghua borrowed from the Ninth Heaven. Don't panic, just continue your performance!"

Everyone on the boat finally calmed down and started the performance.

After these two changes.

The emotions of everyone in Yaohua Pool and Bishui Garden became increasingly high. They kept looking at where Linghua Jun was, whispering and talking among themselves.

The people on the north bank also kept talking about what happened in the temple and the light that descended from the sky.

However, Linghua Jun remained unmoved, as if he was completely focused on the performances.

Just occasionally.

Only then will you raise your glass and drink the fairy wine brought down from "heaven".

But as the night deepened, Linghua Jun raised his head, as if he sensed something.

"It looks like it's going to rain."

Everyone was looking at Linghua Jun.

As soon as he opened his mouth, even though his voice was not loud, it was immediately noticed, and the whispers in the hall became louder.

When the news reached the emperor, he immediately looked at Linghua Jun and asked.

"Can Linghua-jun see the changes in the celestial phenomena?"

Linghua Jun shook his head and spoke directly.

"will not!"

Everyone wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to.

But at this time, Linghua Jun put down his wine glass and said something.

"Why not call the Earth God to ask him?"

Now, everyone was completely at a loss.

"what?"
