Chapter 524: Release of Life

Tuanzi nodded: "Okay! What does Yeye want Xinbao to do?"

Emperor Mingpei said slowly, "There will be a release party the day after tomorrow. Xinbao will help Yeye to release some fish."

Tuanzi agreed readily.

The life releasing event on April 8th is very popular in the capital. Most people release aquatic animals, but there are also many people releasing birds. Many noble ladies, scholars and writers will dress up and go out on this day, go out for an outing, worship Buddha and release animals by the river.

Moreover, there are special rituals for releasing animals. An incense table must be set up, and a high monk must be invited to preside over the ceremony. The people must chant the Great Compassion Mantra together to purify the creatures. They must also recite the Heart Sutra, the Rebirth Mantra, and sing verses praising the fetus, egg, moisture and transformation.

Therefore, even those common people who do not want to release the animals will come out, just to follow the monk and eliminate their karma, pray for peace and blessings.

There are many places for releasing animals in and around the capital, but the one in Qilihe is the most grand because it is next to the Longshan Temple. Every year, eminent monks lead believers in performing the ritual of releasing animals, which usually starts at 7 o'clock and ends in about an hour.

After it was over, everyone took a living creature and released it.

A woman who was releasing a bird had just opened the cage, looked in the direction the bird flew away, and exclaimed in surprise.

The people around also exclaimed in surprise.

On the mountain road not far away, I saw a phoenix chariot slowly rising, surrounded by layers of Dragon Guards.

For some reason, many butterflies, bees, and birds of various colors gathered around the Phoenix Chariot, dancing around it, making it look like a dream from a distance.

The released birds are also flying towards that direction in an endless stream.

The next moment, the phoenix chariot stopped and opened. A small figure, wearing the princess's court dress, slowly walked down with the help of people around her.

Because she was far away, I couldn't see her face clearly, but as soon as I saw her stature and court dress, I knew it was the Princess Zhenguo.

At this time, countless birds were flying around this small figure. From a distance, it looked like a colorful circle that was slowly expanding.

This scene was so magical that the people inside and outside the Longshan Temple were all so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No matter they were common people, noble ladies, or literati... they were all so shocked that they held their breath and were speechless.

The person behind brought over a golden basin. Xinbao stood by the river, scooped up the small fish one by one, then got in the car and left. The whole process took only about a quarter of an hour.

Large swarms of bees, butterflies and flying birds followed the phoenix chariot all the way.

After a moment, there was a loud bang, and the crowd suddenly came back to their senses. Countless people knelt on the spot, worshipping him as a real god...

Master Huiwu, the old abbot of Longshan Temple who had been meditating for more than ten years, also came out with the help of others and exclaimed: "Your Highness, you must be a true god in the world! Even if you have been a good person for ten generations, you will not have such a rich golden light of merit!!"

In fact, this is of course just to create momentum.

I took out the clothes and tried them yesterday. As soon as I took them out, bees, butterflies and other creatures swarmed into the room like crazy.

That won't work. Being surrounded by living beings is a miracle. Being submerged by countless living beings is at most an anomaly, or even an accident.

Yan Shirong originally thought that this idea would fail, but she didn't expect that the little fat bird, which seemed useless at ordinary times, would stand on her shoulder... In an instant, all the creatures, especially the birds, instantly moved away for a distance, but were reluctant to fly away, and circled around her... Suddenly, they looked very powerful.

As for why they had to be so far away, it was of course because from here people from all three places could see clearly, and mainly because Xinbao's complexion was not good and he could not stand there for so long. In this way, it seemed as if he was acting low-key and unintentional, which made him seem even more mysterious.

I also released a few people among the people beforehand, thinking that they would make a few noises when the time came, and they did make some noises...

Such as: I heard that the little princess is a natural doctor! I heard that when the little princess was listed in the Imperial Book, the Imperial Book shone with golden light, and all the civil and military officials saw it with their own eyes... but none of them were as useful as the old abbot's words.

In short, overnight, the reputation of the Princess Zhenguo as a true deity spread widely, and the effect was immediate.

As a child, he doesn’t suffer from insomnia or nightmares, and it is obvious when he wakes up. He sleeps less and looks more energetic.

The whole family was overjoyed.

It was at this time that the magistrate of Yuqian County, the county where the thief Taoist had prayed for rain before, issued a wanted order.

The Taoist named Yunyu, also known by his courtesy name Biyi, often appeared with his hair loose and a cloth strip embroidered with a crane tied around his eyes.

This Taoist has a handsome appearance and is also quite capable. He is good at divination and is best at using divination to deceive the world and steal fame, and devour good fortune.

For example, if there was going to be rain in a certain year, month and time in a certain local area, he would go to that place after divination, spread false rumors to confuse the people, and after gaining everyone's approval, he would first devour the blessing of rain from heaven, and then devour the people's kindness to heaven.

For example, if someone in your family is supposed to bring honor to the family, he will come to your door and say that there is a disaster in your family. In fact, he is taking the opportunity to devour your family's luck, and then someone in your family will get sick or suffer a disaster.

The latter part is purely for the purpose of inciting hatred.

Why didn’t it come down before?

Because we cannot be sure whether the way of destiny has anything to do with likes and dislikes.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After all, no one knew about this person, but once a wanted order was issued, even if everyone cursed and feared him, everyone knew about him. What if this was also a kind of luck? Although it was unlikely, what if it happened? There were too many things involved, so we had to be cautious.

So let's try it in this county first.

After all, the thief Taoist's fortunes had suddenly risen this time, and the people in this county already knew him. If they issued notices and sent people to spread the word everywhere, their admiration would immediately turn into disgust.

If fate is related to likes and dislikes, then it must have a huge impact on the thief Taoist. The increase and decrease of one can definitely be seen in Xinbao.

Calculating the time it took for the notice to be issued, the next day, as soon as Xinbao woke up, Yan Shirong was waiting in the hall, ready to observe.

From a distance, I could hear Xinbao singing: "Why am I so pretty!! My wife is so pretty too!!" As he sang, he came bounding in and added some lyrics: "My mother is so pretty too!! My brother is so pretty too!! What should I do with all these pretty girls!"

Seeing his sister so energetic and happy, with a rosy face, smiling eyes and showing her white teeth, the second brother felt his heart melt at that moment... Really, for this scene, all the worries were worth it! ! He hugged his sister and kissed her hard.

The little dumpling whose head was tilted by the kiss: "..."

She covered her face, rubbed it, and directed her brother: "Here, come here too."

The second brother smiled and gave a big kiss on the other side.

Tuanzi rubbed his face with both hands, squeezing himself into a bird's mouth: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," the second brother said with a smile, "I just like Xinbao. I'm happy to see Xinbao."

"Xinbao is also happy!" Tuanzi immediately confessed: "Xinbao is also happy to see his brother, happy to see his mother, and happy to see his wife!"

"Okay," Mrs. Lin said, "It's your turn to drink rice soup early in the morning?"

She pulled her daughter over and asked, "Xinbao, why do you look so good today?"

"Yes!" Tuanzi pointed at her hair and said, "Liangxia changed Xinbao's hair."

I don’t know how she combed her hair. She twisted the front of the small hair bun into a circle, like a small flower, and tied it in the middle with red, which was the center of the flower.

There are small butterflies and bees inserted at the back, and a slightly larger colorful bird inserted on top. The long tail feathers hang down like two ears of cornflowers, hanging on both sides of the little face, against the scattered hair below. It is as beautiful as it can be.
