The twenty-fourth round of the five-party lion dance

Suzaku Street is crowded with people and is very lively.

Men, women and children ate the Lantern Festival on the night of the Shangyuan Festival and went out of the house to see the lanterns.

The Vermilion Bird Street, which runs through Chang'an, neatly divides the city into two patterns: east and west.

Because it is directly connected to the inner city of Chang'an, which is under the Bureau of the Son of Heaven, Suzaku Street is also called "Heavenly Street" by the people in the market.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the lanterns donated by the merchants of the East and West Markets are of different shapes.

The candles burning inside the paper lanterns illuminate Suzaku Street like the morning day.

The colorful lion walks in the middle of the street with its head and tail, and many spectators move with it to the center of the street.

-- In the midst of the noise of gongs and drums, dozens of people formed a guard of honor and played Taiping music in unison behind the lions. There are colorful lions in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and there is a yellow lion jumping and falling in the center of the street.

Qin Ying remembered that this lion dance had a very special name, called "Wufang Lion Dance".

The two leading lions swim around with colored ropes. The lion is sometimes pitched and sometimes tamed under the drive.

The drum stops and the lion is quiet, and the gaze is steady; Drums and lions, lips open and close. Between the drumbeats and the drums, the crowd resounded with shouts.

I saw that the legs and feet of the black lion in front of him were not very neat, and his eyes were a little sluggish, and he felt a strange aura on it. Qin Ying couldn't help but be suspicious.

The lion is surrounded by a long aura that seems to have been precipitated for thousands of years.

She could be sure that the lion had been transformed by some old and immortal evil being.

It's just that where can the demon be so well disguised that he can't even see through his origin? What is the purpose of it dressing up as one of the five lions and blending in with the crowd?

For a while, Qin Ying's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't have time to be the ward Mei Sanniang, so she followed closely behind the lion's guard of honor.

Observing the lion's movements, she wondered what she was going to do with the big guy later.

If he transforms into a human form, Qin Ying is still a little sure that he will hold it bloodlessly.

Now in the form of a lion, she is more than two heads shorter.

Qin Ying knew that if he moved, he wouldn't be able to last a round.

Although she has practiced Taoism for a hundred years under the teaching of her master Ning Fengzi, she has also dabbled in various side ways.

But she is far from the realm of subduing the thousand-year-old evil alone.

The black lion approached the yellow lion in the middle of the street. It circled the yellow lion twice, then turned around and walked towards the crowd of onlookers.

Unaware that the black lion was an evil thing, a bold man touched the lion's fur.

"Roar-" The black lion opened his mouth and roared, revealing a whole wooden face that was comparable to the real life to the man.

The man was so frightened by the sudden change that he was about to flee but was attacked by the giant claws.

"Ahhhh He lay on his side on the ground and screamed. The corner of the robe was clawed, and it was impossible to break free.

When the people gathered in the middle of the street to watch the lanterns and the lion dance, they didn't dare to look at the unlucky bastard, and turned around and ran wildly into the streets of the city.

Qin Ying went against the flow of people and went towards the source of the commotion.

At this time, the lion's front paws already showed sharp nails.

One of its paws was propped up on the ground to balance, and the other claw pressed against the trembling man, its head drawing closer to him.

The man stared at its wooden mask motionless, his hoarse voice unable to make any sound.

Just as it was about to suck the man's anger, it suddenly noticed a burning pain in its tail.

It turned around and roared a few times, but heard a cold voice say, "If you don't want your tail to be burned, don't move."

Qin Ying raised the flame on his right hand, and the flames danced and emitted five-colored light smoke.

The swaying smoke was wrapped around the lion's tail.

Her master Ning Fengzi was Tao Zheng during the Yellow Emperor period, and the fire of the division could produce five-colored smoke.

Qin Ying has practiced under his seat for a hundred years, and has learned this secret technique by five or six percent.

Who would have thought that this thousand-year-old evil cult would not be afraid of Qin Ying's Taoism. It gasped for breath and sprang into its swing, knocking down the child who had set fire to its tail.

Qin Ying snorted under the pressure of its giant palm. She stared fiercely at the black lion, as if to see through it.

Seeing that someone else had acted as a substitute for the dead, the man lifted his robe like oil on the soles of his feet and fled.

The lion suppressed Qin Ying but didn't kill her immediately.

“…… Why are you holding me back, you three-hundred-year-old demon? The lion narrowed his brass bell-like eyes contemptuously and said, "Do you want to set off fireworks?" ”

Qin Ying smiled and nodded: "Yes." She can still laugh in times of crisis.

The lion opened his bloody mouth and spat out a few extremely mocking words: "--I don't know what I can do."

When she thought about biting off the neck of the person in front of her, she listened to her again:

"You're not a local evil in Chang'an, why did you come here tonight? Is it trying to kill someone? If you want to kill someone, why do you wear a lion's skin and deliberately disguise yourself? ”

The lion suddenly stopped moving, but it didn't answer Qin Ying.

Qin Ying continued: "... I'm guessing you want to get the anger of the living to blend in with the crowd. ”

Even though she was firmly pressed under the claws of the lion, her face did not change: "Don't move. If you let the Heavenly Emperor know that you killed the apprentice of Wuyue Zhenren Ning Fengzi, do you think you will be able to live a comfortable life for a few days in the future? ”

The lion's whole body shook, like a precursor to a fury of rage.

It sank its front claws, and exerted another force to suppress Qin Ying: "You little demon, you dare to threaten me."

"Ahem, ahem." She couldn't stand the choking sensation in her throat and tilted her head to the side and coughed.

She was about to cough and faint, when she heard a familiar call from a distance: "--Qin Ying!"

Mei Sanniang carried the hem of her skirt and hurriedly appeared on Heavenly Street.

Just saw a lot of people pouring out of the streets, Mei Sanniang asked the others to hide first and come over to find out by themselves. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the scene of Qin Ying being pressed to the ground by a giant lion.

Running to Qin Ying's side in small steps, Mei Sanniang asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's not too good, but it's okay." She struggled to reply, "You go, I'll talk to the guy again." ”

"I can't leave." Mei Sanniang was very scared in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't go, and she couldn't leave Qin Ying here alone.

The cloud shadow was cast on Mei Sanniang's slightly sparse cheeks, and her face was so dazzling.

Qin Ying sighed. I remember that Mei Sanniang in her previous life was stubborn, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back. It is estimated that the character of this life is more than that.

Since Mei Sanniang asked to stay, let's stay. Just be a helper for yourself......

After thinking of all kinds of strategies to turn defeat into victory, Qin Ying decided to take the most risky one.

She raised her eyebrows at the lion and said, "Let go of your claws, how about we fight openly?" If you lose, you have to promise the winner one thing. ”

"Two to one?" The lion grinned at the two little ladies, revealing Sensen's teeth.

Qin Ying snorted twice as an initial reply, and then said, "We two girls fight with you alone." Comments? ”

The lion didn't know what tricks Qin Ying was going to play, but it was confident that it would not lose to a three-hundred-year-old demon and a teenage human.

So it nodded.

(Author's note: I took the fourth level exam this morning, and I feel that I have passed the test as if it is very mysterious.)

Mei Sanniang is a lady who is longer than a deep boudoir and can't fight. So the next thing is that Qin Ying wants to go head-to-head with the lion. Well, my Qin Ying is going to show her female side again. ）
