Chapter 17: General Mingpo

"Miss, get up!"

Lan Rui was dragged up from her sleep, and when she heard that it was Xiao Yahuan, she lay down and continued to sleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that she continued to lie in bed, Xiao Yahuan shouted anxiously: "The lord and the lady said that they were going to the fairy temple today to pray for blessings, and they should leave early!" Lan Rui said lazily: "Don't go." Although she hadn't been there, she knew that going to that temple was to ask for marriage. The little girl said: "The lord and the lady said, I will tie you up!" Lan Rui rolled up the quilt, turned her back to the little girl, and said, "Don't say it's tied up, even if you kill me, you won't go." ”

The fairy temple is outside the south of the city, located between those dense villages, not too close to the city gate, but not too far, it is an ancient temple, long before the pouring of the iron city wall, and then the city king wanted to cast the city wall, the fairy temple is not in the planned area, so it has become the south of the city outside the city today. It is said that the fairy temple is very effective, many people come to this temple to pray for blessings, in order to seek good fortune, so the road to the fairy temple is also bustling all the way, both sides of the road are also full of vendors, in addition to selling snacks and fruits, more is to sell sandalwood, red candles, treasure paper, dark coins and other burning offerings, of course, there are fireworks, firecrackers and so on. In front of the roadside vendors, there are small soldiers standing at short distances to maintain law and order. Behind the vendors is the wall of the village, with their backs to the corpse stingers, which is more dangerous.

On this day, the road was as lively as usual, and the horse-drawn carriages in the middle of the road were also closely connected and slowly moving forward. The curtain of one of the carriages was opened, and inside was a woman, it was Lan Rui! She yawned and was drowsy, sitting in the middle was Lan Rui's father, and on the other side was her mother, and Xiao Yahuan did not follow.

I don't know how long I sat down, and finally came to the fairy temple, Lan Rui's father got out of the carriage, and saw the big tripod in the square in front of the temple at a glance.

Behind the big ding is the fairy temple. The temple was not small, but the gate was crowded with people, and smoke poured out from the doors and windows of the temple - it was the smoke of burning incense.

Lan Rui couldn't see, but she could smell the smoke, very reluctant, but she was still dragged into the temple by her father, although she had an eye disease, she was also smoked to tears, she had to close her eyes, follow her father's footsteps blindly, although she couldn't see, but she could still roughly guess that there are many fairy statues in the temple, everywhere, you will hear many blessings whispering, of course, there is also her mother's voice, but there are many people, she doesn't know what her mother is reading, and after her father and mother finish reading the words, and he followed them to do the heavens.

In this way, he went around and worshiped in nearly twenty places, and finally came out of the temple with a dry cough.

After leaving the temple, Lan Rui's father asked the two mothers and daughters to wait in the square in front of the temple, saying that they were going to buy something. Soon he returned with two porters, each carrying a load full of burnt offerings, which shows how devout he was. He directly asked the picker to pick up the burning offerings next to the big ding, because only incense and red candles were allowed to be burned in the temple, and the rest could only be burned in this big ding.

Lan Rui's mother picked up a small portion of the burnt sacrifice and handed it to Lan Rui, asking her to hold it with both hands for three heavenly throws, and then her father took these pious burnt offerings and gently threw them into the ding, so repeatedly, it took a lot of time to burn the two loads of things, and then Lan Rui was led to a corner of the square, and her father set off firecrackers and fireworks by hand, and finally was led by her father and mother to get into the carriage, and it was already Shen Shi at this time.

"Drive!" The family shouted, spurring the horse on his back and setting off home.

After getting up early in the morning and rushing for half a day, Lan Rui was already tired and sleepy, and she was so tormented by these two loads of things that she was already exhausted and fell asleep leaning on the corner of the carriage.

At this time, the road was still very crowded, and it was only a long time to walk, and pedestrians walked much faster than horse-drawn carriages.

Lan Rui's father was very bored, because he was choked by the smoke in the temple, and because he had been standing next to the fiery Dading for so long just now, he was already thirsty, so he said, "I'll go buy some fruit." With that, he got out of the carriage, and the stalls in front of him were all selling offerings, and he had to walk to find the fruit stalls.

Lan Rui's mother opened the curtains boredly, and suddenly saw a stall on the side of the road that was selling amulets and mascots, and wanted to buy them, but when she saw that Lan Rui was already asleep, she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she got out of the carriage alone and walked towards the stall.

Suddenly, a tornado blew in the square in front of the temple, and a large group of burning sacrifices in the big ding was rolled up on the spot, and moved to the entrance, and when it was near the intersection, the wind suddenly stopped again, and the sacrifices that had not yet burned fell one after another, and it suddenly rained fire.

The stalls on both sides of this section of the road are the most closely arranged, almost connected together, and they sell burnt offerings and fireworks, etc., and when the fire rain falls, the stalls on both sides are quickly set on fire.

The firecrackers instantly beep and burn, because they are all stacked together, so they burn very fiercely, the smoke rises like a dark cloud, the fireworks also explode on the spot, making a resounding roar through the sky, some fireworks are shaken to the side, shoot out fireworks bombs one by one, drag the tail of the fire, bombard pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages and other stalls, that situation, as if the vendors on both sides of the road are fighting, fighting with fireworks.

From the city gate to the fairy temple, all the way is a tight village, and the road is flanked by village walls, full of corpse thorns. Crowded pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages move slowly, but the explosion of the roadside stalls spreads fast! When the pedestrians saw the explosion coming, they all pushed wildly, and the horses were also frightened, and immediately ran wildly and rushed wildly. What's more serious is that the carriages going in the direction of the fairy temple turned around one after another when they saw this, and immediately caused a serious blockage.

On that blocked section of the road, there was nowhere to escape for men and horses, and all of them were swallowed up by the explosions, and it was a tragic situation that could not be seen directly: some people were burned to the ground, struggling frantically, and screaming fiercely; Some people were squeezed next to a firecracker stall, and suddenly a firework catapult came and immediately exploded the firecrackers, which burned and exploded fiercely, blowing up those people's clothes to pieces, and their bodies were incomplete, as if they had been skinned alive; Some people were crushed by the carriage and their thighs were already in pools of blood on the ground, but the man still sat up and roared and struggled, and his big fists frantically slammed into the wheels; Some people rushed out of the stall and tried to climb the wall through the corpse spurs, but they were squeezed by the crowd rushing behind and were directly stabbed to death by the corpse spurs; Some people accidentally fell to the ground, but they could no longer stand up, and were squeezed and trampled by others, and their internal organs exploded.

Lan Rui's father was frightened by the sudden disaster, and roared: "Daughter! Wife! He anxiously squeezed against the current to his carriage, which was the most congested section. The man in the car stood up, pointed to the other side of the road and shouted, "Master! Madame over there! Lan Rui's father looked in the direction she pointed and found the lady, but she couldn't move, she was already in tears, crying: "Xianggong! I'm here! ”

Lan Rui's father couldn't help but lose his color, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Lan Rui was also awakened, pulled the door curtain and shouted in panic: "Dad! Mother! Where are you? When her father heard this, he shouted, "Daughter! Don't be afraid, Daddy is coming! He squeezed harder, and shouted to her mother, "Lady, get into the carriage quickly!" Her mother cried directly, and shouted helplessly: "I can't move!" ”

Soon, the explosion had reached the back of Lan Rui's carriage, and the sound of firecrackers, fireworks, and the screams of pedestrians was incessant, scaring her into tears and screams. The horses panicked, but they still couldn't move an inch. Lan Rui's carriage was particularly frightened, and suddenly jumped on his back, trampling on and killing many people crowded next to him, and also threw the family out of the carriage on the spot.

Just when Lan Rui's parents were already desperate, they suddenly saw a person stepping on the roof of the car and leaping over, he was wearing armor, hanging a cloak on his back, holding a Mo knife, the knife dragged a long azure gas, came to the explosion point and landed on the roof of Lan Rui's car, and then held the knife with both hands, only to see that the green qi was even bigger, a little, he suddenly jumped up and swept the knife down, only to see the green gas behind Lan Rui's carriage exploded, and a long iceberg burst up, cutting off the entire road horizontally, and immediately cut off the spread of the explosion!

He then leaned his claws and exercised, condensed into a ball of green ice, and then spun and threw it, smashing it on the roadside wall, stuck in the corpse thorn, and quickly condensed the ice ball and smashed it on the other side of the wall.

Collapse! Collapse!

With two loud bangs, two masses of ice exploded one after another, blowing a gap in the walls on both sides, and the frightened horses rushed out when they saw that there was a way out on both sides. Seeing the carriage rushing out under his feet, the Modaoren immediately jumped and jumped onto the iceberg.

Lan Rui didn't know what was happening, but she felt that the carriage was running wildly, and she was so frightened that she was screaming and screaming.

Many of the pedestrians who had been crowded between the carriages did not have time to back down, and were hit one after another, and before they could scream, they were crushed by a series of carriages rushing out from behind, and soon a layer of meat sauce was spread on the road where the two gaps were opposite.

Lan Rui's parents were originally crowded by the stall a little far from the gap, so when the carriage in the middle of the road rushed away, it did not hurt the two.

After a long time, the frightened horses also walked in all directions, and the road was much empty, but there were still many casualties on the ground.

The strange knife man squatted down and slapped the iceberg with one palm, only to see that the iceberg suddenly turned into green qi and filled a large section of the road. The green qi slowly dissipated, and suddenly saw two people come up, one of them knelt down, and said, "Official, please save my daughter!" ”

These two are Lan Rui's parents, and it is her mother who is kneeling.

The Mo Dao Man leaned over to support Lan Rui's mother and said, "Let's get up first." Lan Rui's mother cried and begged: "Official, my daughter is in the car and has just rushed out, can you help me find it?" Please! The strange knife man comforted, "Madam, don't worry, Ling Yuan will be fine, there will be city soldiers to inquire and record Ling Yuan's name and characteristics, as well as the address of the Zun Mansion, and the city soldiers will send it back to the house in time after they find it." So he said and left.

Although Lan Rui's parents were anxious, they were helpless, so they could only look at the strange knife man helplessly, only to see that he summoned the city soldiers who were guarding on both sides of the road, and then ordered them to turn over. After a while, a city soldier came over with a wooden plank and asked some questions, and after Lan Rui's parents answered, they were advised to go back to the city first and wait patiently.

Lan Rui's parents really couldn't, so they had to go back first.

By the time I got home, it was already dark. The two of them didn't think about tea and dinner, Lan Rui's father paced back and forth nervously, her mother couldn't stop crying, and the little girl ring also followed with tears.

Soon the time passed, and still no one sent Lan Rui back, her mother couldn't help crying, her father tried to persuade it to no avail, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard door, and the two hurriedly rushed to open the door.

The door opened, and I saw a person holding a Mo knife in his right hand, a jujube red horse in his left hand, and a woman sitting right away, it was Lan Rui! When the strange knife man saw the door open, he raised his hands to help Lan Rui get off the horse, and her mother immediately rushed up and hugged her tightly, crying: "Rui'er, you are scared to death!" Woo......" Lan Rui also sobbed: "Mother, woo...... I'm so scared......" Both of them cried and couldn't speak, her father wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and persuaded him: "Let's go in and talk about it......"

The mother and daughter calmed down a little before helping each other through the door.
