I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds
#54 - Hundred Flowers Festival
Because they bought a flying sword, Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang unanimously decided to stay in Taicang for a few days.
Li Yunshang helped Jiang Wen refine the flying sword and also taught him the secrets of manipulating it. Unlike the Sword Control Technique, the flying sword emphasizes the unity of mind and spirit, while the Sword Control Technique focuses on the 'control' aspect.
In the future, if Jiang Wen wants to fly with the sword, it is necessary to connect with the flying sword. Otherwise, he might easily fall off the flying sword and lose his life. So, for the next two days, he devoted himself to refining the flying sword and didn't ask about other matters.
The flying sword he chose first was Flying Frost. This flying sword perfectly matched his aesthetic. Elegant and restrained, it wasn't as domineering as Red Sun, nor as strange as the Black Sword. It was not only handsome to hold, but also very convenient to use.
The refining speed was very fast. In just two days, he had already understood seven or eight parts of the sword. During these few days, Li Yunshang took the two sisters to Taicang to play around and collect information about various places.
After all, Taicang is a large commercial city with many traveling merchants. Information from various places is easily obtained, which is convenient for the two to analyze the situation in different places.
First of all, the disaster in the Northern Lands has expanded to four states, and the Great Qian National Protection Army has already gone to the four states to quell the disaster.
Then, the Emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for the princess. This news instantly spread throughout Great Qian.
After all, everyone knows that the Emperor of Great Qian's throne is stable. No one knows when that emperor, who has lived for more than three hundred years, will die. It is very difficult to gain merit from supporting the future emperor, but becoming the emperor's son-in-law can lead to a meteoric rise.
"There's actually this kind of activity?" Jiang Wen was a little surprised. The Morning Flower List seemed so familiar. It's a bit like a ranking list. As long as you are on the list, you can get rewards, thereby stimulating people's competitive spirit.
Therefore, as soon as this news came out, heroes from all over the world stirred. They all went to the imperial capital, hoping to win that wealth and glory.
Li Yunshang ran over actively, rummaging through Jiang Wen's things.
"Do you have something you want to tell me?" Jiang Wen asked curiously, remembering Li Yunshang's excited appearance just now.
"This?"
"I understand." Jiang Wen nodded, as if he understood the cause and effect. He told Li Yunshang about his affair with Master Li, thinking that it was a little strange at the beginning, why Master Li didn't seek help from the people of the Immortal Sect. Now he understands that perhaps Master Li had offended someone and had no way to seek help.
"The Emperor doesn't seem to like the Ziwei Palace very much," Li Yunshang said. "The Ziwei Palace is a branch of the Zixiao Hall established in the imperial capital. True Master Tai Xuan is a True Master of the Zixiao Hall. The Zixiao Hall resides in the heavenly realm and is a first-class immortal sect in the world. It is no less inferior even compared to the Taishen Palace. It's just a pity that the actions of the Zixiao Hall are not very popular. They can do anything to improve their Taoism."
"Isn't that allowed?"
"Do you want to participate?" Jiang Wen asked when he saw that Li Yunshang was a little excited.
"Abbot Jiang, guess what we saw today?"
"Although it is a low-level magic weapon, the quality is still good. However, you should pay more attention if you can contact people from the Ziwei Palace. Don't take out this sword casually in the future, so as not to cause trouble," Li Yunshang said with a serious expression.
"So you want to stay for a few more days and watch this Hundred Flowers Festival before leaving?" Jiang Wen smiled wryly. He found that this girl was really not in a hurry at all. She was running for her life, but she was still thinking about watching the excitement.
Jiang Wen saw the precious sword in her hand. It was the precious sword that Master Li gave him for helping Master Li before. Later, it was thrown into the storage bag by him and left for a long time.
"Huh? How do you have a magic weapon from the Ziwei Palace?"
Putting the sundries on the table, Jiang Wen prepared to sell them all back in the real world after taking stock.
But what is the purpose of the Taicang government launching this event? You must know that this is a world with many ancient rules, and this kind of action can be described as shocking.
"It is said that Taicang City is preparing to hold the Hundred Flowers Festival and launch the Morning Flower List. This list only selects women with both talent and beauty. The person who ranks first on the list can get the title of Flower Queen, and the Taicang government will grant her an official status. As long as you become the Flower Queen, you can meet officials without bowing and live in the Taicang Yishui Xiaoju," Li Yunshang told Jiang Wen what she had seen. "It is said that you can also receive a salary of five hundred taels every year."
The Emperor has many children, but the Emperor is very good to his children. The princes are all in their respective positions, enjoying wealth and glory steadily. Because there is no competition for the throne, there is no infighting within the royal family. No one dares to take any action while the Emperor is not dead.
"That's not the case. I just want to watch the excitement," Li Yunshang said generously. She herself was not interested in participating, she just wanted to see the performances of beauties from all over the world.
"I almost forgot!" Li Yunshang tapped her head and smiled at Jiang Wen. "Something big is happening in Taicang City recently."
"Delicious! Why didn't you take it out earlier!"
"Coconut milk."
"Big deal?" Jiang Wen was puzzled.
The flying sword was about to be refined, and Jiang Wen didn't pursue the progress any further. He sorted out his storage bag and found that he had indeed bought a lot of things. Some were pressed at the bottom of the storage bag, which made him forget that he still had these things.
"Later, I don't know what happened, but the relationship between the Ziwei Palace and the Emperor was not good. True Master Tai Xuan was sent back to the Zixiao Hall, and since then, few disciples of the Zixiao Hall have traveled to Daqian. This Master Li must have been implicated by the Ziwei Palace, so he was dismissed from office."
"Orange juice, and those are Pulsating Yogurt and other beverages. You can take them all if you want to drink them," Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite." Li Yunshang accepted the things without any politeness. She seemed to have a special love for food, especially sweets.
Putting the drinks into her storage bag, Li Yunshang suddenly saw the precious sword on the table. She picked it up and examined it carefully in front of her.
Li Yunshang once asked Jiang Wen if he wanted to go to the imperial capital to try and see if he could become the emperor's son-in-law. Jiang Wen refused. He was interested in watching the excitement, but he refused to participate in the selection.
"What is this?"
"You said this sword? It was given to me by Master Li from Li Village. According to Master Li, this is something that True Master Tai Xuan of the Ziwei Palace gave him."
"It's not impossible, but you must not reveal your identity."
"That's natural," Li Yunshang nodded in response.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen didn't say anything more. He agreed to stay for other reasons. The time for him to travel back is approaching, and there may be results in the next few days. When he goes back, he will leave a letter for the three of them to wait for him for a few days. Staying in Taicang is also a good thing, after all, this is an important city in Daqian and a very safe place.
