Chapter 113 Hundred Flowers Festival

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival, the streets of the Flower City were deserted and both sides of the main roads in the city were crowded with people. Everyone waited quietly. After a long time, a huge float slowly drove over.

The float is about ten meters high and nearly twenty meters long. It is divided into three layers, and dozens of beautiful girls in gorgeous costumes stand on each layer.

Each girl held a flower basket filled with flower petals. As the float slowly moved forward, the girls threw the petals in the basket out.

The beautiful petals fell slowly to the ground like flowers scattered by fairies. At the same time, people on the street threw the petals in their hands. For a moment, the streets were covered with bright petals. Di Hong and Tang Yuehua stood in the crowd, watching the huge float slowly moving forward.

Behind the floats, hundreds of masked boys and girls walked and danced, accompanied by a rain of flower petals.

Everyone was bathed in the rain of petals.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Fireworks were blooming all over the sky. Although it was daytime, one could still clearly see the gorgeous fireworks. After the fireworks bloomed, the whole flower city was covered with a rain of petals.

Tang Yuehua watched all this and couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

Di Hong looked at the rain of petals all over the sky and couldn't help wondering, after the Hundred Flowers Festival is over, how should he clean up the petals all over the city?
"Hong, look over there."

Tang Yuehua excitedly tugged at the corner of Di Hong's clothes, and pointed to Baihua Mountain in the distance.

On the top of Baihua Mountain, there stands an extremely huge colorful lotus. The lotus was not there yesterday, but it suddenly appeared today. However, the colorful giant lotus did not bloom but was still closed.

Even Di Hong couldn't help but marvel at how the people in the City Lord's Mansion managed to create such a huge colorful lotus in just one night.

A handsome young man nearby saw Tang Yuehua so excited. When he saw her beautiful face and graceful figure, his eyes lit up, but he soon felt regretful because he found out that Tang Yuehua was married.

"Madam, you may not know that the colorful lotus was not created recently. It has been there for many years."

"Oh?" Tang Yuehua was very curious.

"It's been years, so why wasn't it there yesterday?"

The young man said, "The reason why it suddenly appeared on the top of Baihua Mountain is because there is a mechanism on the top of the mountain. Normally, it is hidden in the mountain. When the Baihua Festival comes, it will rise up and bloom at night."

"When the lotus blossoms at night, it will be accompanied by colorful lights."

“And as it blooms, all the flowers on Baihua Mountain will bloom.”

"Is that a soul guide?" Di Hong asked.

The young man glanced at him.

"You can understand it this way, except that the lotus is made of petals, but a soul guide is placed inside it."

"Who are you and how do you know so much?" Tang Yuehua asked.

The young man smiled somewhat proudly and said, "My name is Sun He. I am not talented, but the designer of that colorful lotus is my father."

Tang Yuehua covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I thought the designer was you."

Sun Hyuk looked embarrassed and touched his nose.

"Well, sooner or later I will become a person like my father."

"Then come on." Tang Yuehua encouraged him slightly.

At this time, Sun He put away his expression and showed some confusion. "But I am very confused. Why did the city lord ask my father to design and supervise the construction of such a large colorful lotus? The amount of petals used to maintain such a large colorful lotus can be described as a huge amount."

"The flower petals scattered throughout the city today will all be collected after the Hundred Flower Festival is over, and then used to maintain the giant lotus. This will take a long time and the cost of maintenance will be very high."

"How high?" Di Hong asked.

Sun He said: "Let's put it this way, nearly half of the revenue from the entire Hundred Flowers Festival was spent on maintenance."

Tang Yuehua was a little surprised. "No way."

According to her understanding, although the Hundred Flowers Festival only lasts for one day, she can earn a million gold soul coins in that day. Just maintaining a lotus flower requires half of the gold soul coins she earns in a day? That would be 200,000 gold soul coins in her pocket.

"That lotus doesn't cost that many gold soul coins, but the mechanism will cost a lot of gold soul coins."

"Although Baihua Mountain is not high, half of it has been hollowed out just to design that mechanism."

"What I don't understand the most is that the city lord's son was buried in that mountain, and then the city lord hollowed out the mountain to build such a thing."

"I see." Tang Yuehua finally understood. No wonder it cost millions of gold soul coins.

Di Hong looked at Baihua Mountain thoughtfully. The city lord's son was "buried" in Baihua Mountain. However, the city lord spent a huge price to hollow out half of the mountain to build a mechanism. From his personal point of view, this was a disturbance to the deceased.

Especially since he is his only son.

As a father, he shouldn't do this.

Unless he is covering up something, the best way to conceal it is not to conceal it, but to let everyone know. Just tell everyone what the situation is in Baihua Mountain, then naturally no one will doubt the situation there.

When the Spirit Hall and the provincial government conducted a joint investigation, no one went to investigate there because there were no secrets there.

If there is no secret, there is no need to investigate, and no one would suspect a dead person. After all, the city lord's son has been "dead" for so many years, and the body is probably rotten by now. It is impossible for someone to dig it out.

As for the city lord Hua Yang, no one doubted him.

If he relied on evil methods to cultivate his martial soul, then his current strength could not be just that of a Soul Emperor.

Moreover, people from the Spirit Hall had examined him and found no signs that he was practicing evil techniques.

The Spirit Hall, the two empires and the major sects have cracked down severely on this evil method of cultivation, especially the Spirit Hall. Nowadays, the supervision of the evil spirits in the Spirit Hall is relatively lax.

After all, you can't kill someone just because of his martial spirit. It still depends on the person's character.

If Bibi Dong were to kill everyone she saw, she would not have survived until now. Of course, if she was a person who committed many evil things, she would definitely be killed, or directly banished to the City of Slaughter to prevent her from coming out to harm others.

For those who awaken evil spirits, the Spirit Hall will keep corresponding records and supervise them.

Not only does the Spirit Hall have it, the two great empires also have it, but the supervision of the two great empires is not as good as that of the Spirit Hall.

The time when the Spirit Hall's supervision was the strictest was during the Qian Daoliu period.

After Qianxunji came to power, he relaxed supervision.

The current Spirit Hall is certainly not as good as the Spirit Hall during Qian Daoliu's time, but it has become stronger overall.

Di Hong estimated that the Spirit Hall changed its nature from this time on, or had changed its nature long ago, and Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were just boosters.

The Spirit Hall during Bibi Dong's period was the most powerful period since its establishment, but it was also a period heading towards destruction.
