Chapter 258: The Imperial Beast Show
That night, Lei Luo sneaked into the Jinshan Zen Temple, but to his disappointment, there were only a few hateful monks on duty in the temple.
Looking at the stone steps that are endless during the day, the temple gate and the magnificent hall, at this time, the building is empty, it is slightly cold, only a few monks are commuting and cleaning, and those female Taoist aunts and wonderful words are nowhere to be found.
After searching for it, there was no gain, Lei Luo naturally had to return to Lufu, and was ready to find an opportunity to explore the bottom of this Jinshan Zen Temple and the monk of Miaoyan in the future.
......
On the second day, inside Jinshan Academy.
"Young Master Lei, recently there is a master of acrobatics in the city, I heard that he can perform the method of taming beasts, are you interested in taking a look?" Lu Linglong suddenly proposed to Lei Luo after studying the poem.
"The method of taming beasts, isn't it to tame wild beasts and do some eye-catching performances?" asked Lei Luo with a strange expression.
Isn't this a 'circus', but in Dongyue for many years, I have never heard of anyone performing this, and Dongyue does not like this.
"Yes, in the early years, when I consulted the classics, I heard that there were people in Nanjue who specialized in taming beasts for a living, and they also called this kind of person a beast tamer," Lu Linglong explained with a cold face.
"Nanjue Kingdom!" Lei Luo repeated these three words softly.
Hearing this country, Lei Luo thought that that the wonderful words came from here, and now that there was a master of drama, there might be some connection between the two.
"In that case, then I will bother Miss Lu to accompany one or two, and I am also quite interested in this method of taming beasts," Lei Luo immediately pretended to be curious and agreed.
Since they are all from Nanjue, maybe there will be something to gain from this trip, so I just went to have a look.
"It's natural, and I want to see if anyone can really tame a beast," Lu Linglong said.
Although he was quite interested in listening to the other party's words, the tone he heard was still indifferent, and he looked up and saw a cold face.
"This Miss Lu is really cold and unreasonable," he smiled bitterly in his heart.
In the afternoon, Lu Linglong left Jinshan Academy with Lei Luo, not only them, but also many scribe students put down the scrolls in their hands and all moved in the direction of Nancheng District.
It is said that the performance of the master of the opera was supported by a wealthy merchant in the city, so the place where the performance took place was also in the mansion of the rich merchant, which was a rather magnificent manor in the city.
Today, this manor and the surrounding streets can be said to be empty alleys, and the scene is as lively as yesterday's Jinshan Zen temple fair.
When he saw the crowd in front of this manor, Lei Luo was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that a beast taming show could gather so many people.
"If such a crowd wants to enter, it may have to wait for more than an hour," Lu Linglong glanced at the dense crowd in front of him and spoke.
However, although the woman said this, there was no trace of anxiety in her tone and expression.
Lei Luo looked ahead, and the crowd in the street in front of him was crowded, as if everyone wanted to squeeze in desperately, causing an embarrassing situation where no one could get in.
Although he also wants to be as aggressive as yesterday, he is not sure if he will be noticed, so Lei Luo plans to be cautious.
After glancing at the street in front of him, looking around at the layout of the manor, etc., Lei Luo found that it might be for today's pomp and circumstance, there were not many guards in the manor, and most of the guards were outside.
"It must all be gathered in one place, in that case, it won't be difficult to get in!"
Then, I saw Lei Luo pull Lu Linglong in the opposite direction of the manor, and then walked to a small building far away from the manor.
"Lei Gongzi, aren't you going to watch the beast taming show?" Lu Linglong asked strangely, although the tone was indifferent, but the meaning of the inquiry was obvious.
"The show is naturally to be watched, but I have a way to get in, Miss Lu, don't mind if I carry you on my back, right?" asked Lei Luo with a strange expression.
"Naturally I don't mind," Lu Linglong naturally has no problem.
Then, Lei Luo carried the other party behind him, and at the same time instructed the other party to hold the black umbrella tightly, then squatted down slightly and touched the ground with one foot, and then the whole person flew down to the small building.
"In the early years, I apprenticed to an old beggar in my hometown, and I learned a few light skills, so it was not a problem to leap over this crowd," Lei Luo explained to Lu Linglong on his back after flying to the top of the small building.
This reason was made up by him, but his identity was made up, and of course no one would verify it.
"I see, then there is a Laurean son," there was no exclamation, Lu Linglong just said lightly.
Glancing at the surrounding layout and the direction of the crowd, Lei Luo flew over the manor, and then followed a no-man's corner, slowly landing.
This is a rather elegant manor, I don't know why there is a crowd in a square in front of it, and there are no people here, a little quiet and empty.
When Lei Luo and Lu Linglong were about to leave this place, his nose smelled a familiar smell, which was the scent of sandalwood in the temple.
"Does the owner of this manor also believe in Buddhism, no, this smell is like the smell of incense that the monks of the temple have been stained for a long time, right!" Lei Luo suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
At this moment, there were dense footsteps around, listening to this movement, it seemed that there were many people coming, Lei Luo glanced at Lu Linglong beside him, and did not act rashly.
I saw an old man in his sixties who looked like a housekeeper slowly walked out of a corner of the manor, with more than 20 guards behind him, and then surrounded the two of them.
"Isn't this the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, I don't know what you are doing here?"
This person originally thought that there was an intruder in the manor, but when he came out, he saw that it was actually the eldest lady of the Lu family, which made him a little baffled.
"It turned out to be Steward Qian, and Lei Gongzi and I came to see the beast taming performance, and the crowd in front of us was crowded, so we deliberately came here to avoid it, and at the same time waited for the performance to start," Lu Linglong explained expressionlessly.
"I see, since that's the case, then it's nothing, let's all step aside," the money steward commanded the guards around him after hearing the explanation.
These guards did not suspect him, and they all dispersed in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, only this Steward Qian and Lei Luo were left here.
"Miss Lu, since you're here to watch the show, let the old man send the two of you over, the show is about to start, please," the old man said to Lu Linglong quite politely.
After all, the other party is the daughter of the county guard, and a female doll can't be an intruder, so it's naturally not a big deal.
"Then there will be a money steward," Lu Linglong politely agreed.
Then Lei Luo and the two of them, under the leadership of the old man, came to a very large square, and in the center of this square, a two-person high platform was built with wood.
At this time, on this high platform, several chests covered with red cloth were placed, and the roar of beasts from time to time from the boxes also reminded the crowd below that they were hiding fierce beasts.
"Miss Lu, your status is noble, just be the guest of honor with this son, I'll go and say to the guards," the old man said politely.
"Miss Lu and I don't like to be too ostentatious, just watch it in the crowd, don't bother the housekeeper," Lei Luo suddenly refused the old man's kindness.
Seeing this, the old man glanced at Lu Linglong, and after finding that the latter looked indifferent, he secretly said that he was doing more, obviously knowing Lu Linglong's situation, and then he could only politely say goodbye and leave here.
Seeing the crowd surging around, Lei Luo found a remote location far away from the high platform and at the same time there were not many people, and took Lu Linglong to stand there directly and wait.
"Miss Lu, I chose this place for reasons that I can't say, and I hope to forgive me," Lei Luo hurriedly apologized to Lu Linglong after standing still.
"It's good if Lei Gongzi likes it," the answer was rather indifferent, but Lei Luo had already guessed so.
After thanking Lu Linglong, Lei is eyes narrowed slightly, and the immortal master stared at the top of the high platform to check, and after noticing anything, he looked around, obviously wanting to see something here.
