Chapter 250: Lantern Festival
After Laba, Bianliang City became lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Yejin didn't expect that the Lantern Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty would start from the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year and last until the Shangyuan Festival.
With Ah Jiu and Wang Bad and others here, the Lantern Festival was naturally going to be seen, perhaps because they were going to leave soon after the New Year, and this time Qin Yin rarely went to enjoy the lanterns with them.
Although it is a cold winter, the market is full of lights, thousands of lights, crowds, soft red and harmonious.
A group of people wandered around the street at random, Ah Jiu Lao had already rushed to the front of the fried fruit shop, and when he came out again, his arms and pockets were all stuffed with snacks to eat, he was wearing a thick cotton wool gown outside, and the whole person looked like a walking fried food shop from a distance.
As he was walking, there was a sudden bustle in front of him.
Xia Yejin leaned forward and found that the black pressure was full of human heads and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he tilted his head and asked Wang Kuo, who was walking next to him, "Why is it so noisy over there?" ”
Wang Bad stretched his neck on tiptoe and glanced over the crowd, saying that he was walking the Nine Songs Bagua Lantern Array.
Xia Yejin was pleasantly surprised when she heard it.
She had only seen this lantern array in books that recorded customs, but she had never had the opportunity to see it with her own eyes, let alone walk around it herself.
According to the book, this lantern array is evolved according to the I Ching Bagua Array, the two gates of the central and central symbols the two instruments, the four moats are compared to the four elephants of the east, west, north and south, the nine cities in the array each hang high lights, there are many prayer lamps hanging in the middle, the route is tortuous and difficult to walk, strange and changeable, like a labyrinth.
Most of the people who come to enjoy the lanterns have to walk inside in person, and if you are lucky, you will come out, and if you are unlucky, you may not be able to find the exit after spending an hour or two. But if you can't find the exit, you don't have to worry, there are still many stalls selling toys and eating in the array, so you can sit down and rest when you are tired, eat something and continue to look for it, which is also very comfortable.
Xia Yejin and his entourage also found a prayer lamp, planning to explore the gossip lantern array. But as soon as he entered the light array, he didn't take a few steps, and the people who were originally together all disappeared, Xia Yejin looked left and right, and stared at the old man for a long time before he saw Qin Yin's figure in the bustling crowd.
Qin Yin also saw Xia Yejin, so he stopped and stood in place waiting for her to pass.
There are a lot of people coming and going around, Qin Yin is wearing a gray cloth robe, mixed in the crowd, it is obviously very ordinary clothing, but looking at the past from afar, there is a bit of a taste of seclusion and independence, but looking at the back, Xia Yejin's nose is inexplicably a little sour, I don't know why, I always feel that this figure has been waiting for her here for a long, long time, so long that even she has forgotten about herself.
"Why are all those people missing in this short period of time......" Xia Yejin stepped forward and glanced left and right a few times, but still didn't see the figure of Wang Bad.
"I guess it's going to another fork in the road, let's go out first, and wait for them at the exit later."
Xia Yejin was a little surprised when she heard this, since she came here, this was the longest sentence Qin Yin said in one breath.
It's a pity that both of them overestimated their luck, and the two of them turned around in it for a long time but still couldn't find the exit.
Xia Yejin took two bites, but her right eyelid jumped suddenly and inexplicably, and she was a little bored in her heart, but she didn't know what to say to Qin Yin, so she had to take a spoon and stir a few rice balls in the bowl one by one.
"Unappetizing?"
Qin Yin also noticed that something was wrong with her, looked up at her and asked.
Xia Yejin shook her head, and then seemed to remember something, saying I didn't seem to see Miss Shuiyun today?
"She's out for something." Qin Yin's voice was faint, he paused, then raised his head again, "Ah Jin, you seem to care about Shui Yun ...... very much"
Xia Yejin was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hand and said I think everyone finally came out to enjoy the lanterns today, and she should also be together.
At this time, a large group of people passed by noisily in front of the snack stall, Xia Yejin lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice balls, and after a while, he heard the person sitting opposite speak, he said that the people who should be together will always be together. The voice was not loud, as if he was saying to Xia Yejin, and it seemed to be talking to himself. When Xia Yejin looked up, he smiled and said, "This year happens to be the sixth year that a few of you have come to the shop, I plan to send something to you, you can think about what you want first." If I didn't ask for it in advance, I sent it as I wished. ”
Xia Yejin said that there were such benefits, and he was wondering if he should take this opportunity to make a fortune and go home, when he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the bracelet on his wrist, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She is now possessed by other people, and it is still a question whether these things can be taken away.

Fu Qingzhu was stunned as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
At his feet was a drawn array of spells, and he was now trapped in them, unable to move. He closed his eyes and sighed in his heart, he should have expected it a long time ago, how could Xia Yejin suddenly invite him to enjoy the lanterns for no reason, and let him come to the jade shop to wait for her, it was really a trap. It seems that the other party held a grudge than he imagined, and he was more unstable than he expected, so he actually made a move in advance.
So after a brief moment of shock, he calmly spoke to some dark corner, "If you want to kill me, don't hurry, wait for a while, this spell will not work." ”
A chuckle came from the darkness, the thick fog gradually dispersed, and Fu Qingzhu saw that under the dragon claw acacia nearby, a white-clothed Shui Yun was leaning back, with a smug smile, as if he had been waiting for him here for a long time.
"The wound on your hand feels like this?"
"Thank you." Fu Qingzhu squeezed out two words, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning when he spoke, the black line extending from his fingertips had spread to his arm, and a short dagger slipped from his sleeve to his palm, he subconsciously held it, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Shui Yun seemed to know what he was worried about, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "That's right, judging from the pain you're about to face, this little pain is really nothing. ”
Fu Qingzhu pursed his lips and did not answer.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, Shui Yun suddenly felt a little bored, she moved closer slightly, and said You know, if I want to kill you now, it will be easy to kill you now.
"I know." Fu Qingzhu changed to a relatively comfortable posture, his eyes were full of disdain and provocation, "Aren't I waiting for you to do it?" ”
Shui Yun's tone was cold, "You think I don't dare?!" Then he laughed again, and said you want to provoke me? It won't do you any good to provoke me now.
"I never wanted to get anything good from you. You're a demon, and I'm a demon hunter, so the two of us can never be on the same front. ”
"Don't say that you are so desperate......" Shui Yun slowly paced around him, "How about making a deal?" ”
