The 800th year of the immortal calendar, New Year, the first year.
Since it is the first day of a hundred years, it is called the first year, which means the beginning of a hundred years.
Every time this time comes, even the powerful monks who don't celebrate festivals in the past will buy a set of clothes for themselves and dress up carefully. Not to mention mortals, for many people, being able to celebrate the first year is lucky, and it is also the only time in their lives.
The city is decorated with lights and every household hangs lanterns.
Red lanterns were also hung in the Baiyu Palace, which had lost its former desolation and became more festive.
The great immortals were dressed in bright red and purple, and some even put on rouge and powder.
Instead of discussing world affairs as usual, they were discussing where to go for fun.
After all, the New Year’s Day comes once every 100 years, and even they don’t get to celebrate it often. Many people only live to be around 1,000 years old, and can only celebrate it ten times in their lifetime. Therefore, even the powerful ones with a lifespan of a thousand years attach great importance to this New Year.
Even people who don't really like holidays will be affected by their surroundings.
Friends and relatives of the same realm have all gone to celebrate the festival. Unless it is a matter of life and death, few people can ignore the outside world and be detached from the mundane world. Besides, the first year is only 10 days of activities, which is just a blink of an eye for cultivators. There is no harm in relaxing.
There are so many activities for the human race during the New Year, including lantern festivals, operas, flower houses, boat trips, and even driving a sightseeing boat to revisit Kyushu thousands of years ago.
Lantern Festival is the choice of most people, and it is something that is suitable for both immortals and mortals. Even a thousand-year-old monk would not mind going to such a place to join in the fun and feel the atmosphere of human life.
The opera in Hualou is more oriented towards mortals, and old monks are generally not interested in it.
There are two types of cruise ships: the ones that fly in the sky and the ones that float in the water. The former are more expensive, while the latter are relatively cheaper. However, monks are generally not interested in flying boats because they fly every day.
Monks prefer to swim in water, which is more in tune with nature.
"Yundong City is going to hold an extremely grand lantern festival. I wonder if you fellow Taoists are interested?"
"The Lantern Festival is held every year. I think it would be better to revisit Kyushu. The world has been much more peaceful recently. We can go look for the remains of our predecessors, such as the remains of the Sword Sect."
"It will take at least a few years to revisit Kyushu. I will be on duty for the ten years after Yuanhui, so I won't go."
"I can't go to the Lantern Festival, and I can't revisit Kyushu. But I can't go to the Flower House, right? Why don't we just go to Qingqiu together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and turned to look at the monk.
An alchemist with a goatee.
Going to Qingqiu? What a genius idea!
Someone said righteously, "I have always been a gentleman and have no interest in brothels. Brother Ke, if you want to go, I will risk my life to accompany you. I just heard that Qingqiu has beautiful scenery, and I have no other intentions."
"It's the same for me."
“Qingqiu is rich in humanities and geography, and it is definitely worth a visit.”
"Yes, it was Brother Ke who suggested it."
Everyone nodded, and the alchemist was a little confused, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't. I'm just saying, I'm also a gentleman and never go to brothels."
However, no one listened to his explanation. He had to go to the brothel, but it would be bad for his reputation if he went there directly.
After all, they were well-known figures, so how could they openly seek pleasure? Although they were not committing a crime, they still had to save face.
"Brother Ke said we should go to Qingqiu, what do you think?"
“I agree.”
"Let's go together."
On the high platform, Li Changsheng prepared a stack of red envelopes as he did in previous years, with a copper coin inside, which was the New Year's money.
Then they were distributed to the powerful monks below. They were not valuable items, just simple copper coins. But every year there were still many people who came to ask for them, and many of them squatted here last night.
“Red envelopes have been distributed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the powerful people who were discussing which brothel in Qingqiu to go to suddenly dispersed and formed a long queue in an instant.
A group of old men, who were at least 500 years old, took the red envelopes with both hands like little children.
Compared to them, immortals are indeed children. In their cognition, immortals have existed since they were born.
On the other hand, Li Changsheng had indeed watched these people grow up. Those who could enter the White Jade Palace generally had at least the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and most of these people were praised as geniuses by society.
They have been famous since childhood and won championships in various competitions. Top scholar is the achievement they have made in their youth.
Li Changsheng cannot remember everyone, but he can still remember the best children of an era.
"I wish you good health and a long life."
"Haha, long live you. I am now middle-aged."
"Congratulations on your prosperity. No, I wish you a son soon."
"You have more than a dozen children in your family, and you have more than the limit every year. Don't let the city management office catch you."
“Happy New Year.”
Master Feixing's blessing was the most concise, but his hand was also the fastest. Before Li Changsheng even took out the red envelope, he had already grabbed it in his hand.
"Feixing, how are you going to celebrate the festival this year?"
"There are no holidays in the Ship Department. Your servants will maintain order for you. Even if it is a holiday, no one can violate the laws of the Fairy Palace!"
The Flying Immortal said this righteously, and Li Changsheng was very satisfied with this and patted the other party on the shoulder.
"Very good, you are suspended. You will go back to work after the New Year."
Master Feixing was confused, but he did not refute or argue. He nodded and accepted the suspension.
It is the duty of a ship manager to obey orders, and it is also a kind of disloyalty to refute orders.
