Chapter 52
In the past few days, Liu Huifeng's mind has been on Xiaoyu. If Li Qiang hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
Liu Huifeng grew up on Longkong Mountain. The person he saw the most throughout the year was his master Xiao Baili. However, his master was still a free person, that is, he was still with him when he was a child.
When Liu Huifeng grew up a little, Xiao Beili couldn't wait to leave Longkong Mountain and didn't know where to go. But this does not prevent Liu Huifeng's feelings for him. Almost everything about Liu Huifeng is from Xiao Beili's church, so Liu Huifeng's attitude towards people is basically the same as Xiao Huifeng's, of course, except for his personality. Xiao Beili is free and unrestrained. It can be said that he is a little frivolous, but Liu Huifeng's temper is restrained and unrestrained. He is a steady and resilient person.
Xiao Baili's last visit to Longkong Mountain, that is, when Liu Huifeng left Longkong Mountain, he not only brought Liu Huifeng's three teachers, but also Bai Qiuhan, who met for the first time. Of course, it was because of this meeting that led to Liu Huifeng's departure.
It is also for these reasons that Liu Huifeng is not very familiar with the Dragon Boat Festival, but Liu Huifeng has read a lot of books, and he still knows some about the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, is the fifth day of May every year. It is a traditional festival in Kyushu. On this day, people bathe, drink real wine, eat brown seeds, and hang wormwood to commemorate a great ancient man. Of course, these customs are only for ordinary people, and for monks like Liu Huifeng, the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival is more than that.
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most yang day of the year. Basically, every family has to drink realju, coupled with the wishes of all people. Therefore, this day is also the weakest day for demons, especially snake demons, which are weaker than hibernation today.
Liu Huifeng once saw a story of a snake demon and a scholar falling in love in a book. The snake demon married a scholar who saved her thousands of years ago in order to repay his kindness, but it was on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival that the snake demon drank real wine and showed his original shape, which scared the scholar to death. The story behind is quite touching. In order to save his father-in-law, the snake demon did not hesitate to steal the fairy grass, and later he was suppressed under the Leifeng Tower of the West Lake because of offending the heavenly rules. However... After all, it is a legend that Liu Huifeng did not want to go to Leifeng Tower to find out.
Even the strength of snake demons for thousands of years will be greatly damaged on this day. It can be seen that no matter how advanced the Taoist demons are, they can only exert less than half of their usual strength today. Major factions such as Shushan, Kunlun and Qingcheng often choose to eliminate some deep Taoist demons at this time and are usually very tricky to deal with. .
But demons are not fools. They know that they can't do it today and are still waiting for you to defeat demons and eliminate demons. The more advanced the Taoist the demon is, the more intelligent they are. They have a deeper understanding of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. How can they fight with you? They all find a place to hide and wait until today.
"I don't know what's going on with the demons?" Liu Huifeng suddenly remembered the demon capital under the West Lake. I'm afraid the two sisters Qingluan and Caifeng are also dormant today, right?
Shortly after leaving Li's Villa, Liu Huifeng had a discussion with Li Qiang about Xiaoyu's "marrying his brother" and profoundly educated Li Qiang. However, Liu Huifeng knew his words that although Li Qiang agreed but didn't agree. It can already come in from his left ear and out of his right ear.
"Brother Li, where are we going?" Looking at Li Qiang's palms, Liu Huifeng did not want to talk more about this topic, so he asked. Until now, he still doesn't know why Li Qiang came to find him.
"Let's go to the dragon boat race, and Lijia Villa will definitely win this time." Li Qiang's face was full of unconcealed joy, and his words were also full of confidence.
"Dragon boat race? What is that?"
Xiaoyu originally jumped ahead, but today there are too many pedestrians on the street. Liu Huifeng was afraid that she would get lost, so he carefully held her. Xiaoyu also obediently let Liu Huifeng hold her little hand, but he kept looking around, thinking about what was lively to see. At this time, when I heard Li Qiang say that the dragon boat race sounded interesting, I couldn't help asking.
Li Qiang was waiting to answer, but he heard a noise not far from them. The crowd gathered more and more, and their way forward was blocked. Li Qiang frowned and looked a little unhappy. He told the entourage behind him, "Go and see what's going on."
An attendants pushed the crowd and got in. It didn't take long for them to get out of the crowd. He looked at Liu Huifeng, knew his relationship with Li Qiang, and directly reported, "Young master, is the second master Chu."
"Is it him?"
Li Qiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't he make such a big noise here if he didn't go to see the dragon boat?" In his words, he was not polite to this second master Chu, and there was a faint displeasure.
He looked at the streets that had been tightly blocked and said helplessly to Liu Huifeng, "Brother, how about we go and have a look? Sorry, it ruined your interest." Li Qiang originally wanted to show Liu Huifeng the wonderful performance of Lijia Villa in the dragon boat race, but he was killed halfway, and naturally he would not feel much better.
Hearing Li Qiang's words, several attendants thought that this Mr. Liu really came from extraordinary, and even the young master wanted to seek his opinion.
Liu Huifeng looked at Xiaoyu's excited appearance and looked at himself eagerly, knowing that she liked the excitement most, so he nodded, "Okay, does Brother Li know this Second Master Chu?"
Li Qiang said as he walked, "I don't know him. As long as I'm in Hangzhou, I can't help dealing with him."
"Oh?" Liu Huifeng said strangely, "What does he do?"
Li Qiang's tone was a little disdainful, "His original name is Chu Si, and he is from the Chu family in Hangzhou. Because his brother Chu family is an official in the dynasty, he is here to bully and be unscrupulous. Because he is the second in the family, he is called Second Master Chu."
As they spoke, they came to the crowd. Liu Huifeng looked at the man standing in the center. Presumably this person was Second Master Chu.
I saw him wearing a dark green satin dress, slightly black and thin, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and a fan in one hand, and his whole body was made of good materials. He couldn't wait to wear all his money out, and he looked energetic.
Seeing more and more people around him, Chu Si's face was even more proud. He cleared his throat and shouted:
"All the villagers come to comment on this theory. I, Chu Si, am a good-faced person on this one-acre of land in Hangzhou. How can I be bullied by an outsider! Folks and elders, we in Hangzhou can't be bullied by outsiders!"
Liu Huifeng and Li Qiang looked at each other. Li Qiang turned around and ordered a follower behind him, and the man quietly retreated.
But he heard Chu Si continue to say, "I saw that he, a fortune teller, came to us alone to blame him, so I asked him to count a gossip for you. How could he know that he was full of nonsense? He was simply a liar! The most hateful thing is that he still wants to cheat my money and doesn't inquire about it. Is my Second Master Chu so easy to cheat?
Liu Huifeng heard Chu Si's words and looked at the fortune teller he called a liar. He probably understood what was going on and asked Li Qiang beside him:
"Isn't this Chusi a good person?"
Li Qiang held his arms and was watching with great interest. Hearing Liu Huifeng say this, he said strangely, "Why, has Brother Xian also played with him?"
Liu Huifeng shook his head, "How long have I been in Hangzhou? How can I know him?"
"Then how do you know so clearly?" Li Qiang shook his head puzzled and said, "This Chusi family has a hundred mu of good land and has nothing to learn all day long. He knows all day long to flirt with good women with his dog slaves in broad daylight. Naturally, it is not much better."
Liu Huifeng smiled, "Why do I think you're talking about Erpang?"
Li Qiang also smiled, "Almost, they are all virtuous. However, I heard that although he is unbearable, extremely conceited and narcissistic, his Confucianism is very high, hum! Such a person..." He looked at the fortune teller who was said to be a liar by Chu Si and asked Liu Huifeng in a low voice, "Brother, can a person's fate really be calculated?"
