I am a living immortal.
Chapter 282: Saint King’s Birthday
After yesterday's spring rain, the weather showed obvious signs of warming up. Even the rainy days became less frequent. The sky was clear and the sun was shining on his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
These days, Jiading Prefecture is still very busy. The period before Qingming Festival is the peak season for tea picking, and after Qingming Festival, rice planting and farming will begin, but it is not as busy as it is now.
The tea market is crowded with people during the spring tea season.
The tea buyers and sellers were so busy that they couldn't move their feet, so Shenlong went to join in the fun. According to him, this is called observation. In fact, he was just bored, or maybe he had been stuck in the desert for too long.
Su Mu is digesting the spring at this moment.
There was a crabapple tree in the yard he rented. At this moment, the branches were full of blooming flowers, and even a piece of dead wood by the wall had sprouted new buds. The dead wood came into bloom in spring, and three flowers bloomed.
After all, spring is hidden in this yard.
Su Mu restrained herself a little and looked towards the door. At this moment, Shenlong pushed the door open and walked in, holding a box of fine tea in his hand.
The best new tea can still be smelled even when it is placed in a box.
"Where did you get it? First-class tea passes are hard to come by. They're called first-class, but in reality, they're no different from tribute tea. This is the emperor's tea. You're not the same person as me, so you're just drinking ordinary tea. That's why there's so little of this kind of tea, and tea passes are hard to come by."
"It was exchanged with a fan." Mirage Dragon didn't feel anything.
Gold, silver, and jewelry? Or rare ornaments? He could make them with his bare hands, and they were more realistic than the real thing. With such a wealthy status, he could still get some fine tea with his hands. His lavish spending and his disregard for money made many people want to cheat him.
However, you have to be capable if you want to cheat him.
Just one sentence from the Mirage Dragon made many people give up.
"First-class tea, just quote the price, no bargaining."
He had the confidence to call out such conditions. Many people felt that they could not afford to offend him, and he did not ask for much. Soon someone came to exchange with him. He did not have a tea voucher, but he had first-class tea, and they exchanged it for something else.
Shenlong exchanged it with a famous painting. This painting was not made by him with his bare hands, but was collected from his collection. No one knew which dynasty or country it was from. The other party was also knowledgeable. Although he didn't know the painter, he knew it was definitely from a master's hand, so he happily exchanged it.
"Try it."
This ordinary tea and spiritual tea have different tastes.
Mirage Dragon snapped his fingers, and a set of jade tea sets appeared on the stone table. He pinched some tea leaves and put them into the cup. The water in the jade pot was already hot, so he poured it into the jade cup.
When the warm water was poured into the cup, the water and tea blended together, releasing a fragrant aroma. Shenlong sniffed and said, "This is really good tea. Although this ordinary tea doesn't have any spiritual energy, the taste is just as good."
"This kind of tea probably only has one or two leaves from a tea tree. Of course it's good, but..." Su Mu was not very keen on tea, and he couldn't tell the difference between good tea and inferior tea.
He also carried tea with him as a gift.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was like a cow chewing on a peony. Compared with pure tea, he preferred flower tea, which had a more obvious aftertaste and was more palatable. He also liked fruit tea with a stronger flavor, which was made by chopped plums soaked in honey, and added with dried pear slices, flowers and tea, with a sour and sweet taste and a hint of tea.
"Actually, I'm curious why you, as innate gods, also like to drink tea."
Su Mu knew that the ancients loved drinking tea for a variety of reasons, including social, cultural, etiquette, and physical reasons, but this situation did not apply to the innate gods.
"It's a habit. In fact, I brew more than just tea." Shenlong thought for a while and replied.
That being said, Su Mu remembered that she had used the elixir of immortality as tea to taste its immortality.
To the taste buds of the puppet Mirage Dragon, this tea is quite good.
"That's right." Mirage Dragon seemed to remember something.
"It seems like there's going to be some kind of temple fair in Jiading Prefecture. Why don't you go and take a look? It seems to be a celebration for you. Show off your divine power and give them a scare."
Su Mu shook his head. He didn't have that kind of bad taste, so he rejected Shenlong's proposal.
"That's so boring. Speaking of which, I heard about what you did back then. This Saint King's Birthday is to celebrate your birth in this country and to bless all the people."
"Nothing much. I just killed some monsters that occupied the imperial city, and naturally got this name."
"If it were really that simple, there would be them everywhere in the world." Mirage Dragon said as he poured himself a cup of tea.
"It looks quite grand to me, with lights and decorations everywhere. It seems that some important figures are coming. The temple priests are welcoming the gods, and the holy king is blessing them. The current emperor will also pray at Hengyue Mountain, wishing peace to the world, prosperity to the country and good weather for the people." Mirage Dragon told the story one by one.
Su Mu looked at him with a strange look in her eyes: "You went to buy some tea and Su Da heard all this?"
"Why would I need to ask? I've pieced together a rough outline from bits and pieces I've heard all along the way. Even the tea market will be closed tomorrow. It's said everyone is going to the Holy Monarch Temple to pray. There are even cakes and offerings on the roadside, and the incense and candles are all sold out. I have to say, the faith in the Holy Monarch is very strong here."
Su Mu didn't know either. He didn't stay in Yu Country for long and left soon. The source of faith also changed from him to the Holy Lord of the Way, who could eliminate disasters and bring all kinds of blessings.
But since I'm here, I might as well go and take a look tomorrow.
Because it is the birthday of the Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor Temple is very lively. The Holy Emperor Temple in Jiading Prefecture is on a small hill in the northwest. This mountain is called Yiyang Mountain, and the Holy Emperor Temple is at the foot of Yiyang Mountain. There is also a small town at the foot of Yiyang Mountain. This time of year is also the most lively time in the town.
Many people from Jiading Prefecture will come here.
The distance is quite far, and of course not everyone will go there. Many people have tribute platforms in their homes to worship the Holy King.
Most people who go to the Shengjun Temple on Yiyang Mountain are from Xincheng or wealthy families who have carriages or donkeys for convenience.
Another point is that many people are willing to go because the weather on that day must be sunny. These are the stories passed down by some old people. It is unknown whether they are true or not, and the reasons are varied, but it seems that many people have felt that the weather is really good every year since they can remember. This makes many people believe it without a doubt, and their faith in the Holy King is even more pure.
No matter what, the third day of March, the birthday of the Holy Lord, is definitely very lively. No matter how far the journey is or whether it is cloudy, there are still many people who will rush to Yiyang Mountain to pray for good luck.
Although Jiading Prefecture has also experienced floods, most of the time the weather is good and the harvest is harvested, which is enough, a simple wish.
Su Mu didn't know that there were two other families who were also looking forward to this festival.
One is the Zheng family, and the other is the emperor.
