Chapter 12, Shangyuan Lantern Festival
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming to an end, but the taste of the New Year still exists, and now it has been on the Yuan Festival (Chapter 12 of the Legend of the World). Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoOn this night when the moon is high in the sky, people light up thousands of lanterns to celebrate.
Go out to enjoy the moon, light lanterns, guess lantern riddles, eat Lantern Festival, reunite with the family, celebrate the festival together, and enjoy it. Whenever this happens, the girls are very happy, especially the girls who have lived in the deep pavilion for a long time, because this is the only time of the year to get out of the house and see the outside world.
In the eyes of the people, the gods they worship are heavenly officials, earth officials, and water officials, saying that heavenly officials bless, earth officials forgive sins, and water officials relieve misfortunes, and match three officials with three yuan, saying that Shangyuan Tianguan was born on the 15th day of the first month, Zhongyuan Diguan was born on July 15, and Xia Yuan Water Official was born on October 15. In this way, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival. Li Qi remembers that when she was a child, she would clamoring to take her to see the lanterns every year, and then even if she lived in Huangquan Wine Country, the store would be very busy at this time, and she often had to do it all night, and Li Qi, who stayed in the store to help, never saw it again, even if she wanted to go, it was very boring to pull on the night when she couldn't see anything, but this year, she walked alone on the crowded streets, and saw that there was a lot of traffic everywhere, and the scene of a fire tree and silver flowers never night also had a unique flavor.
This is the festival of Tianguan, in fact, it is far away from Li Qi, because now as a ghost official, Li Qi's most important day of the year is still the Zhongyuan Festival, but somehow, Li Qi suddenly wanted to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival and take a look at the lanterns, because she heard that people in this era will write the names of various gods on the lanterns and hang them on rows of regular shelves for people to worship, Li Qi really wants to find the demon god lantern called "Emperor of Day and Night".
"It's too much, and you actually hang the old ghost so biased, you have to be damned." After looking for a whole hour, Li Qi finally found the lantern that belonged to the night in a bunch of fictional gods, they hung the real god of the day and night emperor very partially, very high, and people's fictional land god, stove god, plague god and even fox god and so on are very popular, Li Qi thought to himself that if there are really so many gods in this world, it will be upside down, and just as he was thinking, a thunder suddenly appeared in the night sky of Haoyue, covering the noisy crowd, people looked up, and saw that the night sky suddenly cracked, first a small human shape, Then it turned into a huge and terrifying figure, with a skeletal face and terrifying wings like skeletons, and the demon burst out of the crack like a cocoon, rushing towards the crowd.
"Damn, how could the bone fish appear today, doesn't the Demon Lord know that today is a holiday? Why want to cause such a riot. Li Qi scolded in her heart, she knew the rules set by the Emperor of the Day and Night, in order to control the demons to eat people wantonly, the Emperor of the Day and Night used an enchantment to wrap the Rubik's Cube Domain, and regularly asked the Demon Lord to open the five gates of the Rubik's Cube Domain in turn, so that the demons of the Demon King level would come out of it one by one at different times and in different places. However, the five demon lords are generally reluctant to release the demon king on festivals with a large number of people, because this will cause the demon king to eat too much, and let the demons say that he is partial. If the demon lord in any place did not guard the door he guarded, the group of demons would swarm out, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and Li Qi knew that for tens of thousands of years, only once he was in Xuanyuan Kingdom, there was such a spectacular scene of a group of demon kings pouring out of the nest (Chapter 12 of the Legend of the World). But now don't say it's a group of demons, even if it's the little demon king in front of him, he can swallow a hundred people in one bite, and it will make the corpses of the people celebrating the festival in Fertile Field all over the field, and the blood will flow like a river.
People screamed and rioted, millions of people rushed to flee, and before the bones could catch up, the crowd had trampled many people to death, and the lively people were suddenly frightened into a pot of porridge.
"Which bastard let it out today and disturb me!?" Li Qi scolded and ran towards the human bones, but she forgot that she was not the daughter of the demon god in this era, they didn't recognize herself at all, and what was worse was that she was too far away from Deng Chi, and Li Qi no longer had the strength to expand the enchantment.
"Go back, who let you out! Listen to me and go back quickly! Li Qi said sharply, she was not afraid of the wind of the bone puff, she was not afraid of its powerful strength and amazing roar, in Li Qi's eyes, this demon was a little bird, not even as good as being the pet of the Demon King.
Seeing Li Qi running towards him, the bone fish opened its big mouth and rushed towards Li Qi, wanting to swallow it in one bite, and Li Qi then remembered his dangerous situation, and at the moment when the bone fish was about to swallow it, he wanted to open the Huangtian knot, but it was already too late at this time, and his damn Huangtian knot was born at this time and did not work at all, at this critical moment, but suddenly felt that there was a powerful force around her that knocked her far away, flew out of a hundred meters away, and fell heavily on the stone, Li Qi was in pain, and was about to scold. Only then did he realize that he was already out of danger, and within three steps in front of him, a tall and majestic back figure used his body to block the attack of the bone fish on himself, this is just a mortal, with his own strength, he can actually block the menacing bone fish.
"Stupid! Run! The person in front of him shouted, Li Qi was shocked to realize that he was not only blocking himself, but also blocking the crowd of people fleeing behind him, under the golden light of the demon king, his like a god, a tall god who almost stood up to the sky, with his only human strength, he actually dared to go against the sky, that kind of courage, that kind of aura that was completely different from the night deeply shocked Li Qi, she felt that her heart was about to rush out, beating wildly, at this critical juncture, Li Qi was stunned excitedly.
"Run." The person in front gradually lost his strength, and was almost retreated to Li Qi's body by the bone fish, Li Qi was startled, only then did he think of the seriousness of the situation, and the feat of the man in front gave him more courage, Li Qi couldn't care about the pain, got up, the blood all over his body seemed to boil, and the body after 2000 seemed to appear again, only to see the mark of the fallen sky on Li Qi's forehead reappear, she opened her eyes that became blood-red at this time, staring at the bone fish that intersected with her eyes, and chanted words, this is the oracle of the night, this may be the language of the devil, perhaps the power that controls heaven and earth.
I saw that the bone fish trembled all over, and looked at the little girl who was protected in front of him in puzzlement, as if behind this weak life, there was the most powerful god who controlled the space he was in, he was afraid of this power, afraid of this aura, and even more afraid of the chilling fishy smell faintly on her body, and finally the bone fish screamed, defeated, and fled back into the cracks, the sky closed again, the moon appeared again, and the frightened people returned, surrounding the man in front of Li Qi, dancing, Worship like a god.
He put away the big knife, and at the moment he turned his head, the mask he was wearing to celebrate the Lantern Festival on his face was shattered, and a handsome face appeared in front of Li Qi, how familiar it was, it was a face that was somewhat similar to Li Qi's lovesick little fox day and night, it was in the wilderness of Zhuwo, after the baptism of the years, the long hair reached the chest, and the face was still handsome, it was an old face of a lonely person in the Temple of the Sun, that was the fierce face that killed her ruthlessly in the underground palace, that was the face that he would never forget, that was the person he had to send to his death-
"Wind transgression, how could it be you, your strength-" Li Qi exclaimed.
"How about it, it's very powerful, even the demon can retreat!" Feng Yue looked at Li Qi angrily, that kind of self-confidence, that kind of innate pride deeply touched Li Qi's heart, Li Qi felt that he was about to be melted by this sun god, even if Li Qi knew that the person who finally exorcized the demon was herself, but she still admired and was still moved, because if he hadn't rescued him bravely, he would have become a dead soul under the mouth of the little demon king.
"Well, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago." Li Qi said movingly.
"Don't thank me, it's right to protect women." Feng Yuyue said proudly, "However, it is too dangerous for you to break out of the crowd as a little woman, I know that you have the ability, but how can you retreat from the demon and retreat, but it is also because of your courage that I dare to stand in front of you." β
"Are you also afraid of the Adversary?" Li Qi said suspiciously, because she felt that people like Feng Yuyue should not be afraid of demons.
"Of course I'm scared. However, when I think of you, a little woman, behind me, I still have to protect the woman, even if I die, I have to block it. Feng Yue said frankly, and he saw that the crowd around him began to disperse, gradually moving closer to the lanterns, and everything returned to prosperity after the chaos.
"Hmm......" Li Qi was a little moved, maybe if there was no little fox, she would also fall in love with a man like Feng Yue.
"Since we finally met, let's watch the lights together." Feng Yuyue didn't notice Li Qi's touch, and invited.
Li Qi nodded, and the two of them talked about their respective cultivation experiences over the years, and gradually, they walked under the lamps of the gods again, and the rows of lanterns shone on Li Qi's yin and yang faces.
"Wait......" Li Qi suddenly stopped, staring at the "Emperor of Day and Night" lantern high above, stunned.
"What's wrong?" Feng asked.
"I suddenly remembered my dad." Li Qi said leisurely, "When I was a child, I often clamored for him to take me to see the lanterns, at that time I was very short, and I could barely see everyone's buttocks in the crowd, and I couldn't see the juggling that was surrounded by water, and the lanterns of guessing riddles, which were also out of reach, whenever this happened, I was clamoring to ride on him." But his identity is so noble, and his personality is also indifferent, at first he said that he didn't want to say anything, and almost beat me half to death, but in the end he gave in. Saying this, Li Qi's face was filled with a very happy expression, "You know what? He was tall, a little taller than you, and I stood out on his shoulders, and the children around me were envious of me. But I never cherished him when he was there, and later when I grew up, he also asked me to go to see the lights with him, but I had an awkward quarrel with him, and I thought he was blind, and I felt that a blind man looked at the lights, and I was ashamed to stand with him, so I said that I would not go, and now I regret it. β
Feng Yuyue looked at Li Qi with an intoxicated face, and suddenly said, "Do you want that lantern?" β
"Forget it, let's go." Li Qi said gloomily, because his father would no longer carry himself to pick up the lantern with the words "Emperor of Great Light Day and Night" written on it.
Seeing Feng Yuyue squatting down suddenly, Li Qi only felt that his vision suddenly became different, it seemed to be higher and wider than before, and the surrounding crowd was below him, it turned out that Feng Yuyue carried Li Qi on his shoulders, just like when he was a child, it was like a night resurrection, which made Li Qi couldn't help but burst into tears, she didn't expect that this man who wanted to put himself to death several times in the future would now make herself so moved.
I only heard the wind arrogant and said: "My father will not take me to see the lamp, will not carry me, but in the future, I will definitely ask my son to come out to see the lamp, just like this, he will be held high above his head, today, let you try it first." β
Li Qi cried, with tears in her eyes, she raised her head and took off the lantern hanging on the high place of the "Emperor of Day and Night", she really didn't expect that she could be so close to the night 2000 years ago, and she could still hold it like this, just like the night was still there, still in her heart, moved, Li Qi couldn't help but laugh, just when she wanted to wipe away her tears, she found that the crowd below were looking at her and pointing, only then did she think that she was now straddling the shoulders of a young man, what kind of system, and suddenly her face was flushed with shame, Hurriedly shouted: "I'll take it, you let me down quickly." β
"You don't want me to carry you lanterns." Feng Yue was in high spirits, laughing, and ignoring the pointing and pointing of the people around him.
"It's a shame, it's not a child again." Li Qi was so angry that he beat Feng Qi Yue hard, and Feng Qi Yue put Li Qi down with a smile, jokingly: "Is this how you treat me, a life-saving benefactor?" β
It is true that the wind has harmed himself and slaughtered the Li family, but he also tried his best to save each other, whether it is kindness or hatred, Li Qi feels that he can't figure it out in this life, and he can't finish it, Li Qi settled down, and said: "You, I am very moved, several life-saving graces, I must write down, he will go to the soup and fire one day, and he will ...... it"
"Okay, okay, I'm more self-reliant, and I don't need the help of a little woman like you." Feng Yuyue resolutely interrupted Li Qi's words and said, "In the world, I am the only one to protect you!" His words were so domineering, so unquestionable, like a son from the sun.
However, at this time, on the high Wangjiang Tower, Gongsun Zheng and his subordinates looked into the distance, and the lanterns and crowds on the street were so clear, this was the most lively time in the fertile field, and almost all the people in the fertile field were dispatched in unison, as if everything was still in their own hands.
"Hmph, I thought that Li Qi had any ability, it turned out that she was as brave and resourceless as Feng Yue, she also thought that she really got the true inheritance, and she really knew what Deng Gong's enchantment, hum, at the moment of life and death, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself." Gongsun watched as Feng Yanyue held up the ugly Li Qi, and his face showed a look of contempt.
"What does the master meanβ" the deceased asked after Gongsun's words.
"Ant-like girl, I don't know why Deng Gong likes it, forget it, since he wants to protect this, protect it." Gongsun looked at Li Qi with disdain, thinking that this girl who was not capable of doing anything was stupid enough to dare to fight with the devil.
"The master's meaning is to let her go, hey, it's a pity, if she is eaten by the devil, it won't be easy, it's all the wind that comes out of the way." The deceased said regretfully.
"You still think it's really Feng Yue's ability, he is nothing more than a puppet who can only protect women, haven't you noticed, at the moment when the bones want to eat them, there is the power of the Emperor of Day and Night." Speaking of the Demon God Day and Night Emperor, Gongsun put down his arrogant posture at this time.
"But day and night don't look like that." The deceased said suspiciously.
"It's not the Emperor of Day and Night, then how do you explain that I discovered the breath of the Emperor of Day and Night, and who will have the aura of the Emperor of Day and Night? After all, I just coerced the West Demon Lord foul and released a demon, in fact, the demon can't come out during the festival, and it is reasonable to interfere day and night. Thinking of the terrible figure of the Emperor of Day and Night, Gongsun also felt afraid in his heart, he had never done this kind of thing to step on the boundary before, and now he actually took a risk for a Li Qi, now it is really not worth it, thinking that he actually spent half a year assassinating her, Gongsun felt ridiculous when he thought about it.
However, there is retribution for assassinating a person, because not long after, Deng Chi found Aunt Gongsun.
