Chapter Seventy-Six: The Lantern Festival

More than 300 years later, for the first time, a year was spent in the mortal world. On the thirtieth night, Zhuo Ran and Xu gathered in the same room, and the maid Ding who didn't go home for the New Year made snacks and sent them in.

Tonight is to keep the New Year, that is, I haven't slept tonight, so the three of them sit around the fire to eat and drink together, and gossip around.

The first half of the night was fine, but the second half of the night was almost speechless. After calming down, I remembered my time in Cangshan again.

Now Qianfan and I are not mortals, so there is not so much red tape, plus the four seasons of Cangshan are the same, and there is no atmosphere for any festival, so even if it is a big day for the people, we still live as usual.

To say, I actually like the feeling of not having to pay special attention to such a festival.

After sitting all night, early in the morning of the first lunar month, the sound of firecrackers everywhere was endless. After lighting the firecrackers, I opened the courtyard gate to see what the street would be like today, but I was trapped by the door god in the portrait of the door god posted on both sides of the gate.

"Where did the goblins come from, they dared to trespass into private houses," the door god asked with a law enforcement weapon.

I secretly scolded the person who posted this portrait of the god in my heart, and I don't know if it was Zhuo Ran or Xu, or if it was posted by someone in the family.

"What kind of trespassing, this is my house, okay?" I say.

"Why do you want to settle down in this mortal world, what are your intentions?" Door God B Road.

"It's been a long time, and I come to the world to look for abuse. Why does it seem that demons must do something bad in the mortal world? I said.

The two door gods looked at each other, and B said, "This is really your house, what does the other people in the house have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter who they are, and I'm not trying to harm them." I say.

"Forget it, she lives here by herself, and if something happens, just ask her." Door Shenjia said.

"What do you mean to ask me if something happens, if someone else does it and looks for me, then I won't be wronged." Before I could finish my sentence, the two door gods had already returned to the portrait.

"Who's outside the door!" Zhuo Ran's voice came from behind him.

"You heard me wrong, there's no one outside the door." I say.

"How do you know I'm misheard, not misread." Zhuo Ran said.

"You're talking too much." I walked back.

The Zhuo family doesn't have any relatives, so I don't have to go to my relatives to pay New Year's greetings in the New Year, which makes me happy. However, there are many people who are not familiar with it at all who come with gifts, saying that they are for Zhuo Jieyuan's New Year's greetings.

Zhuo Ran and I don't care about this kind of thing, we say hello when we see it, and everything else is left to Xu, and she is also happy.

On the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I suddenly remembered that people had said that there would be a lantern festival tonight. I hurriedly found Zhuo Ran and asked him to accompany me to see it. Zhuo Ran readily agreed.

Half an hour later, we were in the liveliest part of the city.

"These lights are so well done!" I was amazed and paid for a lantern with beautiful paper cutouts.

A group of sidewalkers and jugglers approached, and Zhuo Ran and I stepped aside, and a group of people wearing big-headed doll masks passed by on stilts. The people around him clapped their hands.

After stepping on stilts, there are somersaults and dragon dancers behind......

After following them for a while, I saw a fire-breathing sword on the side of the road, and even a strong man playing with two fireballs in a thrilling way.

Next to me, a young woman stuffed a beautiful purse into the hand of the young man next to her, and the young man took out a golden hairpin and put it on for the woman. Is this a reciprocal life? I think.

Since it is a lantern festival, of course, there are fans who guess the lantern, and I don't know how many I can guess.

I just wanted to call Zhuo Ran to guess the lantern fan together, but found that he was not around.

Where did it go? I looked around the area, but I still couldn't see anyone.

He shouldn't have walked away alone! I searched the way I had come, and the people around me were all elated.

Will he go back, but if he does, he won't call me! I had some bad premonitions in my heart, and then I remembered that I knew how to calculate the spell of yin and yang, so I calculated it on the street.

Soon, I found Zhuo Ran's location, and according to the calculated route, I almost ran in that direction.

It was definitely not the way home, nor was it a weekday walk. And Zhuo Ran's side, there seems to be other things, and I can't count those things.

After walking for a while, the terrain became more and more remote, but he saw a figure in front of him, and a long distance in front of him, there were two more backs.

The figure in front of me seemed to be following the person in front of me, not knowing what to do.

In order not to startle the snake, I blew out the candle in the lantern in my hand and threw it away. I made myself invisible and quickly swept to the side of the person in front of me, and at first glance, it almost didn't scare me.

This person was actually Chang Yanxiao, and he also held a sword in his hand.

What is he going to do? Do you want to kill someone? Looking at the two people in front of me again, I felt an unusual aura, this aura is familiar to me, it is demonic aura.

Could it be that Chang Yanxiao also felt it, did he want to catch demons? It is estimated that no matter how good his martial arts are, he doesn't have this ability.

This road was found when I pinched my fingers to find Zhuo Ran, and I don't know if Zhuo Ran is related to the demon in front of me.

One of the two figures in front of him was a mortal, but not Zhuo Ran.

I cast a spell and made a small formation in front of Chang Yanxiao, just trapping him for a while, because I didn't want him to be in danger.

Following the two people in front, they went all the way up the mountain. Afraid that he would find out that someone was following, I made an enchantment around me to hide my breath.

It's a treacherous trail, but it wasn't much of a problem for me.

The further you go up, the denser the vegetation becomes, with only one trail up the hill just big enough for one person to pass.

There was some light in front of me, and the higher I went, the brighter the light, and finally, on a flat terrain, a brightly lit building stood among the green trees.

The building seems to be very lively, the sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments is endless, and the figures printed on the windows come and go. However, this seemingly luxurious place is a trick of illusion. In my practice, I can see that the prototype of the house is a black cave.

The person I followed and a demon had already entered it, and I followed it, and sure enough, there were many people as I guessed, no, there was a lot of demonic spirit here, and the women in it were all goblins......

In the center of the lobby, a group of brightly dressed banshees danced with the banshees fiddling with musical instruments in the corner. On the low sides of the surrounding area, there were also banshees eating and drinking, and there were more or less mortal men around them who drank with them.

Those men, although they were smiling happily, were all yellow and thin, and their eyes were dark, which was obviously caused by the sucking of yang energy.

After searching around, I didn't see Zhuo Ran, and I began to feel a little worried in my heart, not knowing what happened to him.

Raising my hand and pinching my fingers again, I had already calculated Zhuo Ran's location, and before the banshees in it were noticing, I quickly slipped into a side door......
