Chapter 44: The Tianhe Festival
Between autumn and winter, the chill in the air gets worse and the sky gets darker than ever, and in the blink of an eye, evening arrives.
The flow of people in the streets of Duyuan is much more than when Qin Yang first came, and the Tianhe flowers symbolizing peace are hung outside the various houses, and the faces of both young and old are filled with cheerful smiles.
Bursts of laughter, endless, accompanied by a burst of firecrackers, the Tianhe Festival officially kicked off.
At the same time, any street in the Chu capital, even the Seven Kingdoms, was like a street in Duyuan at this time, and the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, shaking the sky!
Outside the inn, Qin Yang looked at the protruding flow of people around him suspiciously, he didn't know why it was almost night, but there were more people than in the afternoon, at least four or five times more than in the afternoon, and they were all holding lotus lanterns or Kong Ming lanterns in their hands.
After watching for a while, Qin Yang retracted his gaze and said, "Thank you Brother Li for what happened just now."
"Little brother doesn't need to thank me, I have long been dissatisfied with Zhou Tao's words and deeds, if it weren't for his identity as a demon hunter and the protection of the captain, I would have waited until today to teach him a lesson, and I have to thank my little brother for giving me this opportunity." ”
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Qin Yang struck while the iron was hot, and asked:
"Brother Li, I don't know what is so strange about the identity of a demon hunter that can make Zhou Tao so proud. ”
Seeing that the sky was not yet completely dark, Li Feng accompanied Qin Yang to walk a little longer, explaining on the way:
"If you want to talk about demon hunters, you have to introduce demons first. ”
"The so-called demon refers to the demon beast, and there are many beasts in the continent, far more than one kind of demon, collectively known as alien beasts!"
"According to the strength of their talents, from low to high, they are divided into, beasts, brute beasts, demon beasts, spirit beasts, and fairy beasts!"
"Demon beasts are just one of them, and the reason why they are called demon hunters may be because they sound good. Li Feng told the story, which made Qin Yang have a general understanding of the demon hunter.
Demon hunters are a special group of people who can sign contracts with alien beasts, which is even rarer than spirit practitioners, and there may be only one among hundreds of thousands of people.
Demon hunters who have signed a contract with the beasts will be able to use their abilities, also known as innate skills. But signing a contract is not so easy, it has to do with the talent of the demon hunter.
According to their talents, the demon hunters divide them into, ordinary demon hunters, demon masters, earth demon masters, and heavenly demon masters!
Because after the demon beast signs a contract with the demon hunter, it can also get feedback from the demon hunter, and if the demon hunter's talent is not good, then the feedback they get will be reduced accordingly.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, there are more beasts and brute beasts, and there will be fewer demon beasts, and there are basically no spirit beasts, and as for fairy beasts, they are even rarer.
Besides, the immortal beast would only sign a contract with the Heavenly Demon Master, and the Heavenly Demon Master had not appeared on this continent for a long time.
After hearing this, Qin Yang was leisurely fascinated, speechless for a long time, looking up at the last touch of color on the horizon that was about to end, his heart was stirring, what kind of magical world he had come to!
Li Feng also seemed to be a little emotional, and continued:
"In the Seven Kingdoms, demon hunters often can't be offended, because they have the ability to sense strange beasts, and no one knows what kind of emergencies they will encounter in the mountains. ”
"And the number of demon hunters is scarce, so even if Zhou Tao is just a demon hunter who has not stepped into the rank, his talent is not high, but in the case of such a scarcity of demon hunters, he will become a noble existence in the future. ”
Li Feng's eyes were dim, and his words were a little low, he was a family of spirit refining in his clan, and he could have become a guest in any force, but since the death of the ancestor, the generation in the clan is not as good as the generation, and it has been passed down to his generation, and the talent is even worse, and it is difficult to reproduce the glory of the ancestor back then.
Qin Yang thought for a while and asked, "Brother Li, what kind of talent does this demon hunter need?"
Li Feng shook his head, he only knew a rough idea, and the specifics were not very clear.
The sky gradually darkened, as if covered with a black cloth, the night wind blew, and the dark clouds also followed, gathering more and more, gradually spreading to the entire sky, black oppression, piled up in the air, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
However, this situation did not last for half a pillar of incense, and it was dispelled by the ever-bright lamps that gradually drifted into the night sky, looking at them, countless, like a little starlight, incomparably bright, hanging high above the night sky, shining on Da Chu, but also shining on the wind.
At this moment, everyone looked up at this grand scene, watching the everlasting lantern wrapped in the expectations of countless people, bathed in the soft light, their bodies seemed to be dyed golden, and their faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
The streets are full of pedestrians, and the lanterns of various colors are hung outside the house-to-house houses, which are brightly lit and reflect each other.
"Kong Ming lantern, I saw Kong Ming lantern again!" Qin Yang murmured softly, looking at the lights lingering in the sky, his heart was in a trance, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold something, but it was empty, and he didn't feel a pain in his heart, giving birth to a sense of melancholy.
"The lights are still as usual, but I'm gone!"
A shadow appeared in Qin Yang's heart, and the meeting between the two in his memory also began with this light.
"Kong Ming lantern? The name is quite nice, but the little brother's lamp is not called Kong Ming lantern, but Changming lantern. ”
"Everbright lantern, it turns out that it's called everlasting lantern, not Kong Ming lantern!" Qin Yang smiled bitterly, the last trace of his hometown disappeared, the sky was full of lights, the glow was confused, and under the light, Qin Yang seemed to see the woman in his memory gradually leaving him.
"What's the origin of this lamp?"
Li Feng glanced at Qin Yang strangely, "Little brother, if it weren't for your thick Chu Yin, I would have thought that you came to our world from another world." ”
Qin Yang smiled and listened to him:
"Twenty years ago, there was a war in the Seven Kingdoms, the people were displaced, and countless people died in this war. ”
"In order to thank him for the peace he brought to the Seven Kingdoms, and to let all the people in the Seven Kingdoms remember the horror of the war, this day is designated as Peace Day, also known as the Tianhe Festival, on which every household will light up a lantern!"
Speaking of this peerless god general, Li Feng's eyes showed admiration, "Speaking of which, although my little brother and I are in different countries, we admire this god general of your Chu State, whether it is me or anyone in the Seven Kingdoms. ”
Qin Yang came back to his senses, and when he heard this, he still didn't understand who Li Feng was talking about.
He didn't know much about Qin Tianhe, only that he was the one who quelled the war twenty years ago.
"He is a hero, if he can meet him in this life, it will not be in vain to come to this world and go through a bad time, as a Chu person, have you ever seen him?"
"Such a person, if I am lucky to meet him, I am obviously not blessed. Qin Yang replied with a smile while looking around.
