Feiyan Nu looked at the fireworks above her head and said, "It's so beautiful." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Zhiwei looked at her and said, "It's so beautiful." ā€

Today, Feiyan Nu changed the set she bought a few days ago, the big red simple skirt, and the whole person looks slender and straight when she wears it, compared with usual, she is a little less handsome and more soft, more like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Jiangnan mushroom.

After watching the fireworks for a while, Feiyan turned her head to look at Zhiwei and found that he was staring at herself.

Blushing and asked, "What do you see, I don't even look at the fireworks that are so beautiful." ā€

Zhiwei whispered: "Although the fireworks are beautiful, you are even more beautiful." ā€

"What did you say?" When Feiyan heard his words, her heart jumped, why did he say that, she was embarrassed.

Zhiwei smiled: "It's nothing, I just said that the fireworks are beautiful." ā€

Hmph, and then diverted the topic. She secretly glared at Zhiwei.

Soon, the fireworks fell lonely, and the two of them walked quietly on the lively street.

Slowly, they came to the main entrance of the palace and found that there was already a crowd of people around them.

He asked curiously, "Uncle, what are they doing?" ā€

The old man said: "Every year on the first day of the new year, when the sun rises, the emperor will come out to pay the lisee, they come so early now to grab a good position, so as to better grab the lishi." ā€

Zhiwei looked at the sky and said with a smile: "You don't need to come so early, it's only the second watch now." ā€

The old man laughed and said: "After the reunion dinner, I have nothing to do at home, so it's better to go out and walk around and line up." ā€

Zhiwei nodded and said, "That's right, I can't sleep today." ā€

He took the Swift's hand and walked away.

At this time, the Flying Swallow girl asked, "Why can't you sleep today?" ā€

Zhiwei heard her ask, and slowly said a legend.

It turns out that in the old era, every New Year, there was a group of petty thieves and monsters who ran out and ate the gifts that people worshipped, and people waited in front of the gifts in order to drive away these little demons, and later, this custom was handed down.

Feiyan Nu was very curious about these things, and she hurriedly asked, "Are there any other customs for the New Year?" ā€

Zhiwei nodded and said: "There are many, one of the most famous is the New Year, do you know why it is called the New Year today?" ā€

"I'll tell you...

After listening, Feiyan Nu smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the New Year, that Nian is also a stupid person, and he was scared away by the sound of bamboo explosions." ā€

Zhiwei laughed and said: "This is just a legend, I can't believe it." ā€

"That's right."

Time flies quickly, and before I know it, it has reached the fourth watch.

Zhiwei was about to send Feiyan back to the inn when a group of people walked in front of them, each holding worship supplies in their hands.

Zhiwei immediately patted his head and said, "I forgot, the most important thing for the New Year is about to begin." ā€

He took the hand of the Flying Swallow Maiden and said, 'Let's go, let's go and see the worship ceremony.' ’

"What is a sacrifice to the gods," the Swift Girl was stupidly pulled by him and ran.

"You'll know when you go."

The two of them soon arrived at the Avatar Temple, which could no longer be described as overcrowded.

Seeing this, Feiyan Nu said in surprise: "Why are there so many people here? That's many times more than anywhere else. ā€

Zhiwei stood in front of Feiyan Nu and helped her clear the way, saying, "Because everyone wants to grab the bet incense." ’

They struggled to squeeze through the crowd and get in.

At this time, all the people of the Huasheng Temple came out to maintain order.

When they went inside, they found that there were no monks, but there were too many pilgrims.

Zhiwei looked at the time and said, "The ritual of worshiping the gods will not start until dawn, and there is still some time, let's visit the Huasheng Temple." ā€

Anyway, bored, Feiyan Nu agreed: "It doesn't matter, let's see what is the difference between here and usual during the Chinese New Year." ā€

After they walked half of the Huasheng Temple, Feiyan Nu said speechlessly: "Why are there people everywhere here, are all the people from Chang'an here?" ’

"Not really, not everyone believes in Buddhism, and a large number of people have gone to worship God in other places."

Suddenly, "Knock, knock, knock" someone rang the giant bell outside the main hall.

Zhiwei took Feiyannu's hand and said, "Let's go, it's going to start immediately, let's go to the front door to have a look." ā€

When they reached the front door, they found an open space outside the main hall, which was covered with worship supplies.

"Knock, knock, knock" bell rings again,

At this time, a group of monks slowly walked out of the backyard under the leadership of the abbot, and the people in the aisle got out of the way.

Zhiwei pulled, pulled the Feiyan girl to his side, and made a way for the abbot to come over.

As the abbot walked past him, he looked at the abbot's robe and couldn't help but be fascinated, and something seemed to call out to him in his mind to put it on.

Seeing that Zhiwei seemed to be fascinated, Feiyan Nu looked at the abbot's robe, and immediately patted him and said, "Why are you in a daze." ’

Zhiwei was slapped by her, and his mind immediately returned to reality, and said, "No, I was attracted by the abbot's robe just now." ā€

Feiyan looked at the abbot's robe again and asked, "Is it so beautiful?" ā€

Zhiwei shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of good looks, but on his robe, it seems that there is some magic that attracts me."

A person next to him laughed and said: "Little brother, this is normal, that robe is a robe that the Buddha has blessed with mana, and anyone who looks at it at first glance will be attracted by the mana left by the Buddha." ā€

He turned his head and fixed his eyes to see that it was a middle-aged man talking.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Looks like we've met somewhere, right?" ā€

The middle-aged man also glanced at him and said, "Have we met?" I'm not impressed. ā€

Zhiwei shook his head and said, "I'm not impressed. I guess I've come across it on the street. ’

He turned to look at the worship again, and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't noticed anything.

Although Zhiwei turned around and couldn't see anything, Feiyan Nu just turned around at this time and glanced at it.

At this moment, the bell rang again, "Knock, knock, knock." ā€

After the three sounds, the abbot picked up a Buddhist bead on the table and slowly recited it, while the disciples next to him scattered, each holding a wooden stick and waving it continuously.

Zhiwei said: "This is inviting the Buddha, as long as the Buddha agrees to meet, then there will definitely be a vision, you can continue to see." ā€

After a passage of scripture was read, the sun slowly rose in the sky.

The moment the sun shone down, the abbot quickly took off his robe and threw it into the sky, while clasping his hands together and shouting, "Ernitovha." ā€

The robe continued to grow in size in the sky, and finally enveloped the entire temple of the transformation of the temple.

Under the robe, everyone looked at the sky, and the sky was already red, which was the fabric of the robe.

Suddenly, a multicolored light lit up, shining directly through the robe and shining under the entire Avatar Temple.

All the people under the temple felt a baptism in their bodies.

Soon, the multicolored light disappeared, and the abbot put on his robe and said, 'Eritoh Buddha, donors, this year's appearance of the Buddha means that the Buddha is still paying attention to us. ’

"Good, good." A group of people shouted below.
