Chapter 63: Picking the Star Tower
Ye Luwu nodded and said no more.
"Wait for me a moment, and I'll go get something. She smiled at Xu Mingchuan, then turned around and walked back into the house.
After a while, she returned with a sword in her hand: "Although this sword is a fine product, it is a dead thing that does not understand human nature, and it will take a lot of effort to control it." ”
Xu Mingchuan looked at the ordinary sword in her hand, and wondered in his heart, "How can I bring it?" Besides, this sword is not a magic weapon no matter how you look at it, and the weapon is available in my prince's mansion, and it will be sent for you to choose tomorrow." ”
Ye Luwu smiled: "I'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow, it's very useful tonight." ”
With that, she pinched her right hand in front of her, and the sword in the red light extinguished began to tremble slightly, and then slowly crossed the air. She chanted the incantation very slowly, and the sword glowed reddish as the spell swirled, and the entire body of the sword appeared to be more than double in size, and then landed firmly on the ground.
Xu Mingchuan was a little surprised, and before he could speak, he heard Ye Luwu say with a smile: "What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will throw you down?"
Her right hand was still standing on her chest, but the whole person stepped lightly on the sword body, and the red light under her feet continued to scatter light dust, as if stepping on a galaxy.
Xu Mingchuan paused, then raised his feet and stood up, "Why, my life was originally given by you." ”
Ye Luwu turned his head and chuckled, and then used more soul power to wrap the two of them tightly, only then did he drive the sword to rise slowly, and then go away in the air!
Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar month, the huge bright moon hangs above the sky, Xu Mingchuan only feels that he can take it into his arms with his hand, and he can catch several dim stars with a wave of his hand. Because of his concern for him, Ye Luwu was not very fast, and he could clearly see the pavilions and buildings of Kyoto City slowly retreating under his feet, and the starry lights seemed to turn into flowing stars, and the whole person was wrapped in two stars, and even his soul seemed to be integrated into the ethereal and vast world.
In the distance, a tall building suddenly appeared on the almost flat ground, and the lights on it were illuminated, and the entire city of Kyoto was glorious.
Ye Luwu's somewhat cunning voice came from the front, spreading on Xu Mingchuan's face along the night wind: "I heard that there are not a few people who spend a lot of money in order to stay on this star-picking tower for a while. I wonder if you, the princes and nobles, can the Fengzi Longsun also be in this ranks?"
As he spoke, the two of them slowly fell from the sky and stood on the highest eaves of the Star Picking Tower.
Xu Mingchuan came back to his senses from the feeling of being like a fairy, and then turned his head and smiled at Ye Luwu: "Raise your arms to hold the sun and the moon, and pick the stars with your bare hands." It only opens on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, so that people can come to see it. It's just that you have taken me to see all the lights of these thousands of lights, and then coming here is not as amazing as the cloud tour of the top talent. ”
Ye Luwu turned his head with a smile and stood at the highest point of Kyoto City, looking up at the Huanghuang Imperial Capital. In the heavy snow, the pedestrians on the streets are in a hurry, as if they do not want to stay outside for a moment. The lights of thousands of houses are bright, spreading from the feet to the sky, and even the full moon seems to have lost its color in this brilliant light, and can only helplessly hide behind the clouds. The farther bazaar, obstructed by the goose-feathered snow, was a little unrecognizable, but you could still feel the same glow there.
"What is that place?" she said, pointing her arm to the most prosperous place, "it looks even more ornate than the palace." ”
Xu Mingchuan followed what she was pointing at, and his eyes darkened: "That was the temporary place for civil and military officials before the palace gate was opened, and it was also the place where the dirt and dirt were most hidden. ”
Although Ye Luwu is not interested in these, he also knows that the current Changguo has a fierce fire to cook oil, flowers and brocade, if there is no change, I am afraid that when the Zhou State attacks again, it will be like chopping melons and vegetables.
She settled down, and her soft and solemn voice spread in the night: "I believe in you, and you will be able to reproduce the prosperous atmosphere." ”
As he spoke, many people with lanterns suddenly poured out of the streets, and they hurried towards the Star Picking Tower, and the lights flowed into more than ten rivers, which seemed to bring the entire Kyoto Castle to life.
Those people knelt down one after another under the star-picking tower, chanting something while bowing deeply to the ground.
Ye Luwu wondered, "Can you hear clearly? What are they talking about?"
Xu Mingchuan tilted his head slightly, and after a moment, he smiled dumbly: "They are saying that they are asking for the blessing of the gods, and the coming year will be smooth." ”
The two of them came with their swords, presumably they saw the red light left by the sword tail in the sky, so they thought that an immortal had descended to the Star Picking Tower.
"Haha," Ye Luwu chuckled, "I can't stand their worship, since I have seen the grand scene in your mouth, let's leave quickly, otherwise such a fuss, the chaos will be big." ”
After that, she still pinched the seal and made a decision, and after Xu Mingchuan stood firm, she turned around and said, "I'll be faster this time, you can hurry up." ”
Xu Mingchuan hesitated for a moment, not knowing where to put his hand so as not to surprise her, and after thinking for a moment, he put his hand on her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Okay." ”
The next moment, the two of them rose into the air, accompanied by the cheers of the people under the star-picking tower, and the tail of the sword crossed the sky like a meteor. He couldn't even open his eyes in the midst of his rapid movements, and the whole world was shaking uneasily, only the thin shoulders of his men gave him some peace of mind. It was as if on the day he was seriously wounded, he desperately got into the leafy carriage.
The sword was too conspicuous, so Ye Luwu did not send him to the palace like last time, but the tail of the sword fell and landed in front of the Junfu of Hanling Township.
She blinked, and there were thousands of stars in her eyes: "Tonight is enough of a sensation, tomorrow someone will find out that the red light is coming out of me, so let me take the name of this immortal alone." I'm just going to trouble you to go back to the palace from here by yourself, or I'll send you a carriage?"
Xu Mingchuan's face was still a little pale because he had never had such an experience, but he still smiled: "No need, I haven't set foot in Kyoto City at night for a long time, so let's go back." ”
After saying goodbye, he turned around and walked a few steps, as if he remembered something, and turned back and said, "I will move the mansion in nine days, and you can't say goodbye this time." ”
Unexpectedly, he still remembered the incident when she sneaked away two months ago, Ye Luwu smiled: "No, I should stay in Kyoto City for a long time this time." ”
Ye Luwu looked at his back in the moonlight, smiled helplessly, and then turned the corner and walked into the house.
When the guard in front of the door saw her, he immediately bent down and saluted, but a cotton wool peeked out of a hole behind the collar because of this action, which was particularly dazzling in the night.
"Didn't the house give you new winter clothes? Why do you still stand in front of the door in these shabby clothes, as if I have wronged you? Ye Luwu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and there were some whispers in his heart, if he was looked at by someone with a heart, he would have an extra handle for nothing.
