When Jiang Li came to Duochi Country, he found that there were lights and colorful decorations everywhere, firecrackers were blasting, and red lanterns were hung. There was a festive atmosphere, and people's faces were filled with joyful smiles.

"It's almost the New Year."

Only then did he realize that before he knew it, the Chinese New Year was approaching.

Both middle- and low-level monks and mortals would choose to rush home to celebrate the New Year, while most high-level monks rarely deliberately celebrate the New Year. They often stay in seclusion for several years or decades at a time, and an annual festival is of little significance to them.

If you come across it, just pass it, if you don't come across it, forget it.

Jiang Li also seldom celebrates the New Year. He has no feelings for the Jiang family and even deliberately avoids the Jiang family. As a result, the most common thing he does during the New Year is to go back to the Human Emperor Palace to sit, go to the Daozong, and talk to old friends. .

It's like celebrating the New Year, and it's like doing things in daily life.

Jiang Li was infected by the surrounding atmosphere. He no longer hurried, but slowed down his pace and walked casually on the street.

When he saw the tiger-headed children wearing red cotton-padded jackets chasing and playing with each other, he broke off a branch, squatted down, and used magic to turn the branch into a small sparkling firework. He handed it to the children, who cheered for joy. .

When he saw someone writing Spring Festival couplets on the street, his waist and horse were united, his energy was sinking in his Dantian, his pen was moving like a dragon and snake, and he was writing with great energy. Jiang Li took the initiative to step forward, and after obtaining the other person's consent, he also wrote a Spring Festival couplet, watching the people onlookers. They all applauded.

When he saw someone selling firecrackers, he bought a few firecrackers, hung them on a tree and lit them. Hearing the crackling sound of firecrackers, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Duochi people like to be lively, and they set up a booth in each city to perform operas, dances, songs, music, cross talk, sketches, etc.

Originally, the concept of skits did not exist in Kyushu. It was a new performance form proposed by Jiang Li after he became the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li watched with the people, smiled knowingly, and was amused by the cross talk sketch.

The third candidate for leadership is Lu Pin, the king of Duochi Kingdom, who established Duochi Kingdom in eastern Kyushu thousands of years ago.

There are many large and small countries in Kyushu established by monks in the Fusion Stage or the Divine Transformation Stage. The big ones are as big as half a dynasty, and the small ones only have a few cities.

The Duochi Kingdom is between the largest and the smallest. It is as big as a royal dynasty and has dozens of cities.

The information given by Commander Liu stated that the King of Duochi Kingdom had established his position as the crown prince, and he could give up his position as the king above tens of millions of people at any time.

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, Jiang Li had a good impression of Duochi Kingdom, and felt that the king of Duochi Kingdom was also an acceptable king.

"The people of Duochi are still working now?" Jiang Li was quite surprised when he saw many mortals repairing official roads. These mortals building roads were all outsiders, and they were the ones who most wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year. I will go home a few days before the Chinese New Year. Why don't I go home now? I'm still building roads.

And it was at night, with lights on to build roads.

"Does it seem that the people of Duochi are more diligent than other mortals in Jiuzhou?" Jiang Li said to himself.

"Why are you guys still working and not going home yet?" Jiang Li stepped forward and asked casually.

A craftsman wiped his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, stood up and beat his back, which was stiff and painful due to long-term bending, and spat: "Go home? Come back!"

"I was preparing to go home a few days ago and packed my luggage, but the boss stopped me and came back."

"The boss said that maybe someone from above would come to inspect, and asked us to work overtime to repair the road before the Chinese New Year. If it can't be repaired, we won't be able to go home!"

"In order to be able to go home to celebrate the New Year, I rested for three hours a day and just wanted to finish the work quickly. It seems that I still can't finish the work despite working so hard. Damn it, is there any justice? Is this still called the New Year?" These craftsmen who could not go home were swearing and resentful.

Seeing that someone finally talked to them, they all complained to Jiang Li.

If monks are allowed to build roads, of course the efficiency will be much higher. However, the cost of monks is much more expensive than that of mortals, which is not cost-effective, so the government will let mortals build roads.

"It's Chinese New Year, is there anyone coming from above?" Jiang Li was curious.

"Who knows, maybe there is an official who doesn't like to go home, so he likes to inspect everywhere, even during the New Year!" A craftsman said unkindly.

"I'm here to help you." Out of sympathy, Jiang Li took action. Under the stunned gaze of the craftsmen, he saw the miraculous skills of the high-level monks. The soil was like life, spreading on the road by itself and compacting automatically.

A brand new official path appeared in front of everyone.

"Are you... a monk?" The craftsmen thought that this monk might be at the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage. His attitude became extremely respectful and he stopped using bad words.

"Now that we can still catch up with the New Year, let's go home." Jiang Li said with a smile.

The craftsmen thanked each other one after another. If Jiang Li hadn't stopped them, they would have started kowtowing long ago.

After the official road is repaired, it is impossible for the craftsmen to go home directly. They need to be inspected by the head craftsman before they can leave.

The head craftsman was very surprised when he heard the craftsman's report that some kind-hearted monks helped them build the road and they were finally able to complete the official road before the construction deadline.

The head craftsman found that the quality of the road construction by the kind-hearted monks was far beyond expectations, and the task was completed ahead of schedule.

Jiang Li waved and called the head craftsman over: "Let me ask you, which official didn't take a break during the New Year and asked you to build roads quickly?"

The head craftsman hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "What I'm saying to you, sir, is not that of an official. I heard from the above that maybe Emperor Jiang Ren will come to Duochi Country. Let's take advantage of it before Emperor Jiang Ren comes. Repair the road, even if it cannot be repaired, we must repair it well so that Jiang Renhuang will have a good impression of us. As for the reason, I don’t know.”

Jiang Li was silent for a long time.

He used his spiritual consciousness to scan and found that similar situations were happening everywhere. Some people were planting trees on the roadside, some were repairing buildings, and some were posting slogans. For example, Kyushu is our common home, Duochi Country Strictly implement the requirements of the Human Emperor Palace, severely break the methods left by the demons outside the territory, etc.

These people all have one characteristic in common.

They are all mortals who wanted to go home for the New Year but did not.

After the King of Duochi became the candidate to lead the Human Emperor Palace, without knowing when Jiang Li would arrive, he asked the mortals to work overtime to complete the work, and Jiang Li was welcome to inspect.

And whether it was building roads or planting trees, Jiang Li would not necessarily look at it, or leave after just one glance.

Even so, the king of Duochi Kingdom still asked these mortals not to go home and to work quickly.

"This makes it impossible for me to live peacefully for even a year." Jiang Li lamented.

He wanted to help these mortals complete their tasks and go home to celebrate the New Year, but he found that there were too many mortals, and by the time he finished helping them, the year would be over.

So he came to the city of King Dochi.

Compared with other cities, Duochi King's City is naturally more prosperous and lively, with countless Spring Festival couplets, lanterns and blessing characters.

But Jiang Li no longer enjoys the New Year atmosphere as before.
