Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The banquet in the palace was over in advance, but it was not the case outside the palace. There were still many people waiting to watch the fireworks.

At midnight on New Year's Day, the fireworks in the capital would be particularly bright, even though the night management in the capital has been relatively strict recently.

When Yan Shouyun finished eating everything, he felt that he was already very familiar with the little mink.

The little mink beside him was obviously not afraid of people. After all, when he handed over something just now, the little guy could take it naturally.

But it was not difficult to figure it out. After all, it was a mink raised by a storyteller, and it should have been accustomed to many people.

The sky was now covered by clouds, and the light of the stars and the moon was blocked. Yan Shouyun also patted his butt and stood up.

"We still have to find a place to stay. It looks like it's going to rain tonight."

Yan Shouyun said this, looking around the city.

"Squeak~~"

The voice of the mink attracted Yan Shouyun's attention. He looked at his feet, but saw that the little mink ran out at once.

"Hey, you run away after eating, you are really disloyal!" The Diaoer ran to the other corner of the restaurant roof, turned around and shouted to Yan Shouyun again. "Squeak~~" "Hmm?" Yan Shouyun looked in the direction of the sound, but saw the little Diaoer standing there looking at him. Is he asking me to follow him? "Uh, let me go?" "Squeak~" Diaoer shouted again, and then jumped into the air. This action scared Yan Shouyun, but Diaoer did not fall down, but landed on the relatively low roof opposite. This distance must be at least three feet wide, which made Yan Shouyun stunned for a moment. Is Diaoer an animal that can jump so far? Even cats can't do it, right? "Squeak~~~" Diaoer shouted again over there, looking at Yan Shouyun on the roof opposite. It seems that he is really calling me over. Is this Diaoer so spiritual? Yan Shouyun thought about it and decided to follow him to see. Although his lightness skills are not as good as those of real Jianghu masters, his foundation is still acceptable. After running on the roof for a while, Yan Shouyun also jumped up, and then landed lightly on the roof opposite in a parabola, while the little mink had already run out again.

"Squeak~"

When the mink's voice came, Yan Shouyun did not hesitate and hurried to catch up.

A mink ran in front, and Yan Shouyun chased behind. Gradually, he felt more and more surprised. He had such a big step, but he couldn't catch up with a mink.

Passing the roofs of a block in a row, and then falling directly from the roof, Hui Mian just ran, and Yan Shouyun just chased.

At this time, the mink didn't need to turn around and call, anyway, the people behind would definitely catch up.

They ran for a long time, all the way to the City God Temple in the capital, and Yan Shouyun behind was already panting.

"Hey, hey, hey you, why did you bring me here?"

Yan Shouyun said as he looked up at the City God Temple. Although it was late, the gate of the City God Temple was open. It was not brightly lit, but the eternal lamp inside still illuminated many places.

"Squeak~~"

Diao'er rushed directly into the City God Temple, and Yan Shouyun followed him in after a moment of hesitation.

Because there were generally few people in the capital at night recently, although the City God Temple was open, it was very deserted inside, and there was no possibility of any pilgrims.

Yan Shouyun just looked around the City God Temple. Some halls were closed, but the eternal lamp inside made people feel very warm.

"Could it be that Diao'er wanted me to spend the night in the City God Temple?"

Yan Shouyun murmured so, and looked around again, but found that Diao'er, who had been running with him just now, was gone.

Looking left and right, and looking everywhere, Yan Shouyun couldn't find the mink.

Good guy, he ran away after bringing me here, really wanting me to spend the night, this Diao'er is so human!

Yan Shouyun looked up and looked around, but it was worthy of being the capital, the City God Temple was so big, just when he asked Diao'er to walk around, he looked around and it was wide and grand.

Yan Shouyun had never been to the City God Temple in the capital, because he was arrested and put in the prison of Chengtianfu Yamen when he just came to the capital.

I ate so much and drank a pot of wine before, and ran such a long way. Now I feel a little tired when I calm down.

Forget it, Diao'er is kind. The City God Temple has a roof and a wall, which is better than sleeping on the street. It's good to sleep here for a night.

Thinking of this, Yan Shouyun looked up at the main hall over there. Since he wants to sleep, he will sleep in the main hall. The temple priest will come early tomorrow morning and wake him up, so he won't miss the law appraisal conference!

Hehe!

Thinking of this, Yan Shouyun smiled and walked towards the hall over there. He looked up and saw the three words "Chenghuang Temple" on the plaque, which were very grand, and the whole hall was even more magnificent.

It is worthy of being the capital, Yan Shouyun sighed in his heart again, the Chenghuang Temple halls in ordinary big cities, several of them are not as big as this one.

"Squeak"

Pushing open the heavy door, Yan Shouyun glanced at the statue and arched his hands inside.

"Take shelter for one night, please don't be surprised, Lord Chenghuang!"

After saying this, Yan Shouyun walked inside quickly and saw the kneeling pad in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, worthy of being the capital, the kneeling pads in the Chenghuang Temple are so magnificent.

These kneeling pads are one arm wide and one person long, just right!

Yan Shouyun directly pulled a kneeling pad on the side and dragged it behind the statue, then lay down on it, soft and comfortable.

"Hey, this inn isn't even that comfortable! It's not that safe either. What kind of monsters dare to make trouble here? Hey!"

While mumbling to himself, he felt sleepy, and Yan Shouyun slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

But just after Yan Shouyun fell asleep, his surroundings seemed to change quietly.

First of all, some distant views of the streets outside have disappeared, the square in front of the temple seems to have become more empty, and even the terrain of the City God Temple seems to be much higher, and the walls are gradually fading away.

In the haze, the statue blocking Yan Shouyun seemed to dissipate and turned into a huge silk brocade. Some details in the hall were also revealed, including chimes, cauldrons and other utensils.

Outside the main hall, the words on the huge plaque that read "City God's Temple" also changed, from three words to two, and the momentum became more magnificent.

It is the word "Ancestral Temple".

There seemed to be no people in the place when Yan Shouyun arrived, but the scenery gradually changed, and some forbidden troops on duty appeared on the periphery.

However, it was obvious that Yan Shouyun did not see the Forbidden Army, and the Forbidden Army on duty did not see Yan Shouyun either.

——

Time passed slowly, and the noise of the fireworks that night also completely faded away.

Before dawn, a large number of footsteps were approaching.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta"

The footsteps were heavy and orderly, and the people who made these footsteps were all holding spears, and they were the Imperial Guards in large groups.

Some weapons are actually no longer suitable for today's era, but today they are all held in the hands of the Imperial Guards and can be regarded as a kind of ritual weapon.

A large Wuyangyang imperial army arrived in various formations, arrayed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple Square, and also guarded the main roads further out to prevent anyone waiting to come over.

In the distance, ministers and dignitaries from all over the capital have arrived one after another. Later, there was a majestic and solemn royal scene, surrounded by canopies and accompanied by countless guards and eunuchs.

This is the Temple of Heaven and the Dayong Ancestral Temple!

The official start of worshiping the sky is before sunrise. It is still dark everywhere. Only some lanterns can still illuminate, and torches are kept as low as possible in other places. Only some lights at the Ancestral Temple are more conspicuous.

Today's Dayong Emperor Xiang Yi is walking at the forefront of the royal team. No matter how tired he is, he must cheer up at this moment.

What followed were the high officials, princes and nobles of the court. On the outside, in addition to the guarding imperial guards, there were also more than 200 mages who were now recognized by Si Tianjian.

Dayong's Ancestral Temple does not only have one hall, but the other accompanying halls cannot be called Ancestral Temple.

When the emperor arrived in front of the Temple of Heaven, only the interior of the main hall was illuminated by bright lights in the darkness.

After a while, all the officials arrived and all the mages were in place, accompanying the emperor and standing quietly in the huge square in front of the Ancestral Temple.

Before the time came, the emperor was already sweating on his head. He felt that his physical condition was really not good.

This was in stark contrast to the lively life a while ago, which made the emperor even more uncomfortable, and his desire for elixirs became even stronger, so much so that he couldn't help but glance at the queue of mages not far away.

Sima Xiao, the Supervisor of Si Tian Jian, has another important responsibility in the heaven-sacrifice activities today. He has reached the high place in front of the Ancestral Temple. He silently counts the time and looks in a direction at the right time. An official of Si Tian Jian is signaling with a lantern in the distance. .

The time is right.

Sima Xiao made a decision in his mind and took a step forward to face the emperor, ministers, mages, imperial guards and other large groups of people below.

"The time has come——"

Sima Xiao summoned up all his energy to speak, and his voice was full of energy. Even though he had never practiced martial arts, it could be heard far away in this empty and quiet environment.

At this moment, on both sides of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the two-man Imperial Guards took action. The first one picked up a huge horn, and the latter one blew the trumpet.

"Woo——"

All the trumpet sounds sounded almost at the same time, and the majestic and solemn sound spread throughout the square in an instant, and seemed to spread throughout the entire Chengtian Mansion.

Deep in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Yan Shouyun was awakened with a jolt.

What's going on?

The sound of the horn was deafening to his ears, leaving Yan Shouyun a little confused when he woke up.

Is the City God's Temple so noisy on the first day of the first lunar month in Beijing?
