"Your clothes are fine, why bother me?" Seeing Su Su's aggrieved expression, Chang'e laughed softly with malicious intent.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

Su Su was furious for a moment.

The journey to Jinhua City was hurried, and Su Su's daily dressing and grooming were all in the hands of Chang'e. Now that her underwear had been confiscated by the other party, she could not think of many means of counterattack.

"We will be leaving for Taiyuan in five or six days. I am busy sewing my wedding dress and cannot spare much time to watch you. This will help you avoid getting into trouble and delaying your trip."

Wearing only a thin robe, Su Su felt uncomfortable all over, and she didn't dare to change into a fox form in front of Chang'e. Now she didn't even dare to take a step outside, let alone go out and cause trouble.

He gnashed his teeth and shouted, "You are so cruel!"

After saying that, Su Su turned around and took out Taoist Shan's note. He gathered his Yang Shen magic power at his fingertips and used his fingers as a pen. In front of Chang'e, he outlined the general outline of Guobei County City God Temple on the bedroom wall, stroke by stroke. Then he focused on depicting the land temple that was carved out of bluestone and located outside the main hall of the City God Temple.

It took less than two quarters of an hour to complete the sloppy painting.

Su Su stretched out his hand and pushed forward with force, and the small courtyard in the land temple that he had not seen for two days appeared before his eyes.

He walked into the courtyard from the bedroom wall without any hurry, looked at Chang'e from a distance, and said provocatively: "But you want to confine me to my home just like this? It's impossible. I'm going back to Guobei County."

Looking through the door, Chang'e slowly stood up from the bed and walked into the small courtyard of the land temple.

"I thought you were a foxy girl and planned to stay in Jinhua City for a few more days to have some fun, and then return to Guobei County to finish the wedding dress. I didn't expect you to be more anxious than I am. It's good this way. I will finish sewing the wedding dress today and leave for Taiyuan tomorrow."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Su's brain froze.

I was just planning to put my long-planned plan of turning things around into action as soon as possible, but now you say that you will leave for Taiyuan tomorrow to fulfill the engagement. In that case, wouldn't all my hard work and forbearance over this period of time be in vain?

When their eyes met, Chang'e found it a little funny to see Su Su's clear and innocent look in her eyes. She walked up to her slowly, took her arm around her elbow, and pulled her into the main bedroom.

"It's more than 3,000 miles to Taiyuan. It's a long journey, so we can't set off in a hurry. But the wedding dress is almost finished. Come and try it on to see if it fits you."

As he spoke, the belt that secured the shirt was untied.

At this time, Su Shu suddenly came back to his senses and said anxiously: "It's clearly you who said you would marry me, why do you want me to wear a wedding dress?"

Chapter 160: Trying to cover up the obvious

The phoenix coronet and the bridal gown are as red as fire.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the figure in the bronze mirror, she was wearing a bright red double-breasted shirt with wide sleeves, a cloud-patterned shawl draped over her shoulders, and a phoenix crown with a phoenix and pearl and jade tassels on her head. She had a graceful and charming figure.

Su Su's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

This look even made her own heart beat fast.

As her heartbeat quickened, the figure in the mirror showed a hint of charm in her eyes, appearing to be dripping with lust.

"It's so bright and moving."

Heng'e, who was dressing Su Su, couldn't help but reach out and hold her in her arms, her gentle breath brushing against her ears: "I regret not taking the opportunity to bring you to justice last night."

"It's broad daylight, dear sister, please don't do anything rash."

She was caught off guard in the other person's arms, the tassels hanging in front of her eyes swayed gently, and the charm in Su Su's eyes disappeared without a trace.

"What do you mean by messing around? I am wearing the wedding dress that I made myself, so whatever I do is natural and proper."

Seeing Su Su's blushing face, Chang'e chuckled a few times, fumbled around her slender waist for a while, and gently pulled it open, revealing the chest-length skirt with a red background and gold decoration inside.

Then she took off the phoenix crown on her head and continued, "But seeing that you were quite well behaved last night, I will let you go today."

The hands around her waist suddenly loosened, and Su Su stood up from the dressing table in a hurry. He saw Chang'e taking out needle and thread to sew the unfinished wedding dress at the corners. As expected, she had no intention of continuing to torment him, and his heart immediately swelled.

Wearing only a chest-length skirt, he came close to Chang'e, staring intently at the wedding dress in her hands, which was so natural that not a single stitch could be found.

Su Su asked in a delicate voice, "Come to think of it, I just asked you why you wanted me to wear a wedding dress when you clearly said you wanted to marry me. My dear sister, you haven't answered yet."

"Instead of wearing wedding clothes, are you planning to show up as the King of Hell, wearing a crown and a tiara, and come to Taiyuan in the style of an emperor getting married?"

With her needle and thread in her hands, Chang'e rolled her eyes and teased Su Fu, "I know nothing about needlework. Even my wedding dress has to be sewn by me. It's fine if you don't feel ashamed of this, but you still have the nerve to ask about it."

Hear this.

Su Su thought that if he showed his divine body and went to Taiyuan to visit Mrs. Lin, given Mrs. Lin's greedy nature, when she saw him wearing a crown and a tiara, she would probably think that he was a royal relative and spread the matter widely.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"What about you? I can't be wearing my wedding dress while you, my dear sister, keep everything the same. It would seem like I'm marrying you, and that won't do!" Since it concerns family status, Su Su must make his attitude clear.

Faced with Su Fu's extraordinary persistence in this regard, Chang'e's lips curled up into an lingering smile.

"Of course I have already prepared."

A cold voice rang in Su Su's ears.

In just a moment, Chang'e, who was originally sewing her wedding dress, suddenly stood in front of him. She was wearing a light pink palace skirt inside and a gorgeous and exquisite red dress outside. A semi-transparent red shawl hung from her chest strap, swirling around her arms, swaying.

The skin, which is already clear and bright like cream, is set off by this and looks even more like a piece of jade.

She took a few steps back and walked gently. Her soft hair moved and passed in front of Su Su's eyes: "Are you still able to close your eyes?"

She was wearing an embroidered palace skirt and jacket, and she was as graceful as a startled swan. As her slender waist twisted, Su Su could not help but recall the fairy from the Moon Palace who walked out of the window frame when she used the power of the Yangshen to construct it in Yangzhou. This scene not only brought back the charm in her eyes, but was even more intense than before.

The rich scent of cinnamon fills the bedroom.

The beautiful scenery of last night appeared involuntarily in my mind, my face became hot, and my mouth felt dry.

"Good sister, come here and let me touch you."

Chang'e touched Su Su's cheek lightly with her fingers, her smile widened, and she suddenly realized, "So this is what you, a vixen, like. No wonder you played tricks on me when I just achieved Yang Shen in Yangzhou. You really have a head full of dirty thoughts."

"Nonsense, it's obviously you who is seducing me!"

Su Su denied it without any confidence. Her face was already burning hot, and now that her inner thoughts were exposed by the other party, her shame made her face even redder.

He slapped away the fingers that were sliding across his cheek as if to cover up his mistake, and quickly stood up and fled amid Chang'e's mocking laughter.

After soaking in the steamy hot spring in the backyard for a long time, Su Su was able to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"It's over, it's over. If she continues to seduce me like this, I won't be able to control myself. I will definitely give in and turn it into a serious Liao Zhai speed. This is really bad!"

At this moment, Su Su felt extremely desperate.

After finally calming down her flushed face and dry mouth, she returned to the bedroom door with a guilty conscience and secretly peeked in. When she saw Chang'e changed back into her light blue gown, she dared to walk into the room and reiterated, "I didn't expect my good sister's methods to be so amazing. We are even now."

"I wonder if someone knows the story of covering one's ears and stealing a bell?" Chang'e raised her eyebrows slightly.

broken.

The weakness was completely grasped by the opponent.

The great cause of revolution is already on the verge of being launched.

Su Su's mind was in turmoil.

He hurriedly laughed dryly to hide his true intentions and ran out of the bedroom as if escaping.

I wanted to lie down in the yard and bask in the sun, but my attention was attracted by the noisy noise coming from outside the yard.

She walked out of the courtyard with curiosity and saw the crowded streets outside through the City God Temple. The familiar scene made her realize that today was the market day in Guobei County again.

The civil and military judges of the City God Temple were leading the ghost soldiers to fight against evil spirits in Jinhua. Su Su happened to have some free time, so he walked to the temple gate and looked at the stage that had been built not long ago opposite the City God Temple.

Food vendors were walking through the streets and alleys, with loud hawking cries heard from time to time. Small stalls selling sundry items also crowded the road outside the City God Temple, with shouts to attract business coming one after another.

"Hey, there's another street performer performing magic tricks passing through Guobei County."

Seeing dozens of people gathered in a corner of the stage and the sudden burst of cheers, Su Su frowned slightly.

The street performer who performed magic outside the City God Temple last time was the White Lotus Demon in disguise. He must not cause any trouble again this time.

He walked lightly and stood on the wall of City God Temple.

Su Su was shocked to see a street performer performing acrobatics surrounded by dozens of people. In front of him was a wooden box that was half a person's height. It was covered with dense grids and had twelve holes on the outside. A frog was lying in each hole.

The jugglers would tap the frogs' heads with long wooden sticks as thick as their fingers, and the frogs would croak.

When the people watching the fun threw a few copper coins at the feet of the performer, he would knock them around randomly. The frogs he knocked around actually played a very methodical piece of music with their croaking sounds, just like humans.

Chapter 161 Frog God

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

In the front, there is the White Lotus demon who uses magic to steal peaches from the Peach Garden of the Queen Mother of the West in heaven in public, and in the back, there is a juggler who drives frogs to play music with wooden sticks.

After standing on the wall of the City God Temple and watching for a while, I found that the juggler looked ordinary and was not a white lotus demon who had practiced evil magic in disguise.

On the contrary, the frog in the wooden box in front of the juggler had some faint magical power floating around, showing its extraordinary spirit. However, the frog in the wooden box did not exude any demonic aura, and the pupils in its protruding eye sockets on both sides of its head did not show any intelligence at all.

This is enough to show that these frogs are not ignorant monsters that rely on instinct to cultivate.

It was neither the juggler's skills nor the frog in the wooden box that turned into a monster. Such a strange and magical thing immediately aroused Su Su's interest.

He hid his body, jumped off the courtyard wall, and landed lightly on the stage opposite the City God Temple. At this time, the opera troupe was still preparing, allowing Su Su to observe the jugglers and the frogs that played music when he kept hitting their heads with a wooden stick.

But this juggler is about 40 years old, a little hunchbacked, with an honest and simple face, and calluses on his palms. It is obvious that he is a farmer who has been doing farm work all year round. Looking at his face, there is a faint red light covering his face. Judging from his fortune, this means that the juggler is blessed by the gods and has good fortune.

"It's really weird. Even if this street performer is worshipping the right god, the God of Wealth will not personally make these frogs make money for him. So could it be that this street performer is worshipping the God of Five Elements?" Su Su felt puzzled as he watched the juggler who was still working hard to drive the frogs to perform.

Common people gathered around, and since the juggler did not look like the White Lotus demon in disguise, Su Su was not in a hurry to verify which god he was worshipping. Instead, he stood on the stage and looked with interest at the dozen frogs that were playing music as the juggler kept beating them.

Along with the juggler's knocking, the faintly visible divine power of the dozen or so frogs in the wooden box was being consumed at a very slow rate. According to Su Su's estimation, these frogs would run out of divine power in three to five years at most, thus losing all their magical powers and turning back into ordinary frogs.

However, by that time, with more and more people coming to watch the juggler and donating generously, some throwing in one or two copper coins, and some putting down a small bundle of copper coins, in exchange for the juggler using wooden sticks to hit frogs to play more music, these three to five years would be enough for him to save up a considerable fortune.

This just happened to be what Su Su had calculated: his fortune would be prosperous.

It was nearly noon.

When the troupe was ready and began to perform on stage, the jugglers who were performing magic tricks in the audience gradually dispersed amid the shouts of clearing the venue, and the juggler who was driving the frogs to play music also carried the wooden box and walked out of the city.

Seeing this, Su Su jumped lightly and followed the juggler through the streets and alleys, keeping a distance of more than ten steps. After a while, he left Guobei City and came to the woods beside the official road outside the city.

I only saw the juggler put down the wooden box on his shoulder, then took out a wooden stick and gently knocked on the wooden box a few times. In an instant, a dozen frogs in the wooden box jumped out from the holes in the wooden box like tamed hunting dogs, and went into the trees and weeds to catch mosquitoes and flies to fill their stomachs.

Looking at the juggler again, he opened the wooden box very respectfully and took out a statue of an old man about two feet long with a green face and black lines, who looked like a wealthy man. He first offered incense to the statue and then bowed down to it.

He kept repeating, "Bless me, Frog God."

really.

The juggler was not worshipping the proper God of Wealth, but the Frog God whom Su Su had never even heard of.

He mobilized the power of Yang Shen and snapped his fingers.

Su Su disguised himself as a young scholar and pretended to be on the road to the city. He happened to see a juggler offering incense and offering sacrifices to the frog god. He was surprised and said, "Uncle, are you... worshiping the gods?"

The sudden words almost frightened the juggler and made him scream out.

He quickly turned around and saw the young scholar in Su Su's incarnation. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a rough voice, "Young man, why didn't you make any sound when you walked? You almost scared me to death."

"Uncle, you are praying devoutly here, how could you notice me approaching?"

Su Su bowed to the juggler, handed him a bunch of copper coins, and said, "I'm short of money, so I'll just take this as an apology for disturbing you, uncle."

Looking at the small copper coin handed to him by Su Su, the juggler's eyes lit up and he took it with some embarrassment.

In this way, the juggler's newly-born vigilance was dispelled and he started talking.

During the conversation, Su Shu learned that the juggler's surname was Jiang, and his name was Zhongsheng. He was from Hubei, and four or five years ago he was still farming in his hometown, but something unexpected happened and his family's land was occupied by a wealthy family, so he had to go far away and make a living by performing. Su Shu said that he was a local from Guobei County and was planning to go to the city on market day to buy some daily necessities.

"I came all the way east from Hubei, and I passed through countless places along the way. It's rare to find a peaceful place like Guobei County."

Jiang Zhongsheng said with emotion: "If I didn't have relatives in my hometown, I would really like to settle down here."

He pretended to glance around and lowered his voice, "Uncle, you don't know that just a month ago, not only was people's livelihood in Guobei County in decline, but there were also demons and ghosts causing trouble and harming people. Countless people died tragically in the wilderness."

"what?"

Jiang Zhongsheng was dumbfounded. Seeing that Su Su's tone did not sound fake, he asked repeatedly, "Then how did this place become like this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Su realized that the opportunity to find out the details of the Frog God had come.

Without blushing or breathing hard, he briefly circulated various rumors about the apparition of the City God among the people in the city, and described in a vivid way the story of the City God commanding the ghost soldiers to appear in broad daylight to capture the White Lotus monster.

When Jiang Zhongsheng heard that the City God of Guobei County was so effective, his face was filled with piety.

"My hometown is on the banks of the Han River. People here have always believed in the frog god, which is also very effective. There are tens of thousands of frogs gathered in the frog god temple. The small ones are no bigger than an ordinary person's fingernail, while the big ones are bigger than a steamer. If someone offends the frog god, many frogs will appear out of nowhere and crawl around in the house. Once this sign appears, it means that disaster is approaching. At this time, you only need to slaughter three animals and pray sincerely in the frog god temple to make the frog god disappear, and the disaster will be gone."

At this point, Jiang Zhongsheng sighed deeply and said, "My eldest brother offended the Frog God and refused to go to the Frog God to pray and confess his sins. In the end, his family was ruined and he died in depression. Because of his involvement, the clan became increasingly depressed. Fortunately, I believed in the Frog God devoutly and continued to worship him, so I had the opportunity to go far away and accumulate wealth."
