Chapter 72: The Three Alleys of the Lotus Flower (4)

Without this pressurized task, it is much more casual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I arched my hand, said goodbye to King Qin Guang, put down my burden and prepared to go back to make up for sleep.

Coming down from the Burning Sky Palace, the lights were lit up all the way, and the laughter continued.

Manju Sawa swayed a surging red wave, constantly rolling towards the silver-purple seaside of the dead and swinging back.

All this seems to be the same as it was a thousand years ago.

Blown by the breeze, the clear air between heaven and earth entered the lungs, and the hot and dizzy mind was slightly cleared.

It's a pity that such a happy time is used to sleep and wake up. It's better to take advantage of the wine, go to the Lechuan River for a walk, look at the river lanterns, and wait for today's fireworks to bloom.

Speaking of which, the most eye-catching thing about the Buddha's birthday is the lotus lamp full of whispers on the Lechuan River.

At night, the lights and water shadows are intertwined, and the orange lights floating on the waves are gently swaying with the water, and the scenery is indescribably charming and moving.

On the banks of the Lechuan River, due to the custom of putting river lanterns, a lantern night market was gradually formed, and vendors selling various lantern masks gathered together to form a long street with bright lights.

I picked out a smiling bearded mask and bought a small lotus lantern.

Ordinary fairies like to buy some beautiful masks painted with peach blossoms or manju sawah, and even male fairies like masks with majestic and handsome faces. I was the only one who fell in love with the smiling bearded man's mask.

Thick eyebrows, silkworm eyes, mustache on the lips, a black piece of black drooping down the lips, except for the two peach decorations on the cheeks, there is only a corner of the mouth that is curved up like a smile.

The little ghost fairy who sold the mask was also sincere, and repeatedly persuaded me to buy the gorgeous fairy mask with three peach blossoms painted on her face. He said that it was this year's hit, and many fairies liked it.

The lantern bazaar has a hidden formation, and the immortals will randomly change their appearance after entering. Therefore, when I bought the lanterns, I became a fairy-girl with an ordinary face, and I was not afraid of being recognized.

I shook my hand and said no, I love this mask, that's it.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade me, the little ghost fairy took off the mask and the lantern and handed it to me.

I buckled up my mask and took the lotus lantern around three or four times, avoiding most of the crowds.

Many years ago, there was no custom of putting river lanterns on the Buddha's birthday.

It is rumored that at that time, the fairy world paid attention to origin and blood, and there were strict barriers between the ancient gods and the new gods, and the two could not even live in the same room on weekdays, let alone intermarry with each other.

The only exception to this is the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who has great merit and wisdom, and holds a discourse meeting every 1,000 years.

Although in the past three days, everyone has sat clearly, but they are also gathered together. The two groups of people who can't even look at each other on weekdays are listening to the Fa on a high platform at this time, and it is inevitable that there will be juniors who look at each other.

However, it is difficult to get out of the house, what should I do?

I don't know who came up with the idea to secretly go to the Lethe River for a tryst.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Lethe River has become an excellent place for those young boys and girls of Muai to sneak out for a tryst with the elders of the family behind their backs.

In order to avoid people's eyes, they will put on masks, secretly bring their own lanterns to the Lechuan River, and will fall in love with their sisters for a while, put down the lanterns they made together, and pray that their marriage will be beautiful and complete.

Over time, although the former barrier has long since disappeared, it has become a customary custom to put lanterns on the banks of the Lechuan River to pray.

So much so that now, the conference has become the Buddha's birthday, but those old customs have been handed down.

The lotus lantern is still a small bud, and as long as you make a wish and put it into the Lechuan River, it will slowly bloom and turn into a warm lotus.

I was about to find a place to put it in, but not far away, under the streamer tree, I saw a man wearing the same mask as me.

It seemed that the man was also a little surprised, saw me, nodded slightly, and leaned against himself under the streamer tree and raised his sleeves, and a faint smell of wine drifted away with the wind as the man's movements fell.

In this section of the Lechuan River, there are fewer lights.

In the shimmering river, there were only a few lanterns.

After I stopped, I glanced at the small peach blossom lantern that was moving away from the river bank with the waves of the water.

"Go ahead. ”

I whispered and gave the bud a push. As soon as the lotus bud fell into the water, it slowly bloomed and turned into a small golden-core lotus, floating on the surface of the river.

I sat quietly for a while, then turned and left.

Walking up the Lechuan River, along the way, there are more and more river lights.

The little golden flowers floated on the surface of the water, at first just a few or dozens of flowers, and the further up they went, the more river lights there became, and some of them were even shrouded in a golden halo. This is evident in the number of river lanterns.

As I was walking, suddenly a chubby little female ghost ran over and grabbed the corner of my clothes.

"Shangxian, buy a mandarin duck lantern. Tonight is so beautiful on the Lechuan River, it is the most suitable time to take a beautiful sister to enjoy the scenery and talk about love. ”

I looked down and looked at the thirsty eyes of the little girl: "Buy one, Brother Shangxian." ”

With that, he shook my shirt.

This pleading turned my embarrassed mind into a pool of soft spring water.

I bowed my head in resignation, took out the money to buy one, and was so happy that the little female ghost said several auspicious words in a row.

Looking at the back of the little female ghost jumping away, I couldn't help but hold the red mandarin duck lamp in my hand and sighed.

The mandarin duck lantern by the Lechuan River has the same effect as the old moon's Fuyao Ruyi lantern, but it is not so ingenious in it.

It's just a mustard seed space, with a formation to isolate prying eyes, and there is a bed in it and a window is opened for those little immortals to have a tryst and watch the scenery. It is said to be a mandarin duck lantern, but it looks like an ordinary red gauze lantern, and the reason why the name of mandarin duck is used is just to take the meaning that can be understood and cannot be spoken.

Hades has always been open in affairs, and this Buddha's birthday is a grand carnival once in a thousand years, so there are such derivatives.

But I, an old fairy, am still a woman, Rao has lived for tens of thousands of years, and now I am still a little embarrassed to walk alone with this mandarin duck lantern by the Lechuan River, which is becoming more and more crowded.

This mandarin duck lantern has always been bought by male fairies, and I am afraid that the little female ghost will see that I am wearing a bearded man's mask, so she will mistake me for a man, so she will come forward to sell it.

Several fairy friends saw me walking alone by the river with lanterns, smiling at me kindly, and even, there were enthusiastic young men who pointed out to me the places they had already found and where there were fewer people, so that I could enjoy my tryst tonight.

This kindness made me even more panicked. Even with it, the hand holding the mandarin duck lamp was also very hot.
