From the Northwest Pass to the Southern Regions, the journey is very long and tortuous.

Duan Sixu and Qi Xing stopped and stopped all the way, and it took about half a month before they arrived at the gate of Huayuan City.

The two of them looked like they were making up for it, but outside the city it was a lively scene.

Many merchants came here from the Northern Regions, and Duan Sixu saw many familiar and friendly goods.

In particular, the lamb wine and ejiao dates are very popular among the people of the Southern Regions here.

Duan Sixu and Qi Xing pulled their horses and walked into the city.

I saw that when I entered the city, there was a stone bridge with the inscription on it: Flower Butterfly Wind and Moon.

Duan Sixu was extremely curious, she walked to the stone railing on the side of the bridge, leaned down and looked under the bridge.

The clear water runs through it, flowing in two directions, east and west, with no end in sight.

"Be careful. Qi Xing saw the bright Duan Si who was smiling, and continued.

"It's rare to see such a water city in the north. ”

"Yes, I have been to many places, but they are all remote places, and they are deserted, not like here. Duan Si continued.

"I know. Although Qi Xing still has that cold and arrogant expression, no one should approach.

However, there was some tenderness in the tone.

Duan Sixu and Qi walked down the bridge, which is the paving along the street.

People were busy hanging sachets and flags with charms painted on them.

Duan Sixu was very curious, walked to the side of a stall, and asked, "Please little brother?"

The vendor in the stall turned around and was stunned when he saw Duan Sixu's appearance.

Qi Xing cleared his throat, and the little vendor immediately came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Girl, you are very beautiful, like, like a heavenly person." ”

"Haha, you can talk, I'll ask you. ”

"What is the use of the sachet in your hand and the banner hanging behind you?" Duan Sixu asked with a smile.

"Today is July 15, the Midyear Festival. The vendor said.

"I know that. Duan Si continued.

"The girl is from the city, and there are some who don't know. ”

"We in Huayuan City, every year in the Midyear Festival, we have to hold a golden ceremony. The vendor laughed.

"Golden Ceremony?" Qi Xing asked.

"Yes, Master. ”

"The Golden Ceremony is a day to celebrate the birth of the gods of heaven, earth and water. ”

"There will be a lot of Taoist masters coming here today to worship the three officials. ”

"And we, the little people, hang the charm sachets and flags for peace. ”

"After nightfall, when the festival begins, the lanterns will be put on to pray for blessings, hoping that the deceased will return to Bliss as soon as possible. The vendor said, holding up the sachet in his hand.

Duan Sixu nodded and smiled, "Thank you, little brother." ”

She and Qi Xing continued to walk towards the city, and Qi Xing asked, "What do the three officials of heaven, earth, and water mean?"

"You know, those who practice magic are Taoist priests. ”

"Of course, I'm not, although I practice magic, I haven't entered the Tao. ”

"And in the Dao Realm, there are three senses. The heavenly officials bless, the local officials forgive their sins, and the water officials relieve misfortunes. ”

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the magistrate appeared to the world, abstained from sins, and forgave sins. ”

"The local official refers to the Zhongyuan Erpin forgiveness official, the Emperor of Qingxu, and belongs to the Shangqing Realm. ”

"He is composed of the spirit qi of the Yuan Cave and the essence of extreme yellow, and he is the chief lord of the five emperors and five mountains of the earth immortals. ”

Therefore, the people of this flower city will worship with a grand ceremony to pray for blessings and disasters. Duan Si continued.

"Taught. Qi Xing said.

"Poof. Duan Si continued to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Qi Xing wondered.

"You're serious, it's really funny. Duan Si continued.

Qi Xing shook his head helplessly, and continued to walk forward with great strides.

"Wait for me! I'll buy some wine!" said the two of them, and the two came to a liquor store.

Duan Sixu carried the wine jug and walked in, followed by Qi Xing.

The owner of the liquor store saw the two and hurriedly greeted them.

"The two of you seem to rent a restaurant or a meal?" the boss spoke in Nanyin official words, and Duan Si continued to listen in the clouds.

Qi Xing listened and said, "Dine." ”

"Okay!

"Immortal, you are a board, or you don't send a menu to the broad people!" the boss shouted with a pat on the man's head.

"You two, please take a seat. "The guy spoke clearly.

"You're serious. It's not like your boss, I really don't understand what he said. Duan Si continued.

"You're smiling. The guy scratched his head and laughed.

"Fried tofu, vegetarian cabbage, a pot of green wine. Duan Si continued.

"Okay, you two, wait a minute. The man hurried to the back kitchen.

"Can you get used to a vegetarian diet every day?" Qi Xing said with some guilt.

"You have too many concerns, and with you, I am much more particular about what I eat than before. After Duan Si continued, he felt that the words were a little inappropriate.

Qi Xing didn't react, and said, "Thank you." ”

"Alright, don't say thank you!"

"How about we go and see the Golden Urn Gala after dark?" Duan Si continued.

"I knew you meant it. Qi Xing said.

"You still know me. Duan Si continued to pick up the wine glass, and was about to drink it, only to find that he hadn't come up yet.

"Man, my wine!" Duan Sixu shouted towards the back kitchen.

Qi Xing smiled slightly and looked at Duan Sixu who was grimacing.

But I thought to myself: she was carrying such a terrible curse!

In the past, did she experience unimaginable suffering?

After the two finished eating, Duan Sixu walked to the account desk and said to the boss: "Take away two catties of lamb wine." ”

"Okay!" the boss took Duan Sixu's silver wine jug and scooped it up for her and poured it into the jug.

Duan Sixu looked at the guy and asked, "Where is the Golden Urn Ceremony?"

"The girl is going too?" asked the fellow.

"Exactly. Duan Si continued.

"The Golden Urn Ceremony was held in the tea boy of the city. The guy thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you. Duan Sixu threw down the money for the meal, carried the lamb wine, and walked out with Qi.

"The grand ceremony is accompanying the tea boy in the city, shall we go on a trip?" Duan Si continued.

"Then let's go and see. Qi Xing said, and went to the Tea Boy City with Duan Sixu.

This tea boy city is the closest to the main city of Huayuan, only two miles away.

I saw that many people had already come from all directions.

Duan Sixu saw many warlocks wearing broad robes striding with a look of vigour.

I couldn't help but feel a little funny, she said: "Look at the steps of these people, you are also striding like this. Hahaha!"

Qi Xing ignored Duan Sixu's joke, glanced at her, and strode towards the city gate.

At this time, not far from the city gate, there was a commotion.

Duan Sixu and Qi walked over and saw a young man dressed in a plain blue robe and a black belt.

He was kicked to the ground by a fat-headed, big-eared man dressed in precious satin.

"Shao Qing, you have been talking all day long, you haven't counted it, will I find you today!" the fat man yelled at the young man he had kicked down.

"Who knew you dead fat man would be here!" the young man named Shao Qing muttered under his breath.

"What are you talking about!" the fat man asked.

"Ah, I said, King Zhao, I, I, I'm bitter!" said that, Shao Qing suddenly threw himself on the leg of the fat man he called King Zhao and cried.
