Chapter 1065.1: The Letter Writer in Danxiao City - Part 1
After dealing with the matter at Luoshui Mountain, Chen Chao still did not hurry to leave this DanXiao City. Although the night was already deep and most of the common people had dispersed and gone to sleep, the streets were still brightly lit, with paper lanterns of all kinds, which could also be considered quite a sight.
Chen Chao wandered alone at night, walking slowly along the nearly deserted streets, like a lone traveler who had left home more than ten years ago.
Somewhat lonely.
Chen Chao walked and stopped, looking with interest at the styles of those paper lanterns above his head. Actually, there was not much difference between them and the paper lanterns in the other places of the Great Liang Dynasty. The only difference was that on these, they would either draw a portrait of that great Daoist master who founded Danxiao City, or a portrait of the Dao Ancestor.
Some paper lanterns even have both.
However, the wishes of the common people are the same. Whether it is the Dao Ancestor or that first City Lord in the history of Danxiao City, drawing them is naturally to pray for peace, for no illness and no disasters.
The needs of the common people have never been many. To be able to eat their fill, live their lives steadily, and have no one come and bully them, that is all.
Actually, Chen Chao could understand the rumors about Danxiao City in the past, and even its circumstances. At that time, the imperial court was practically nonexistent, and even if there was an imperial court, it did not protect the common people; it even sucked blood from them.
Therefore, the common people naturally placed their beautiful hopes in that great daoist sage who came from Daoism. Not to mention anything else, simply having that great daoist sage above their heads meant that the imperial court did not dare do anything in Danxiao City.
