Chapter 45: The Light, the Man, and the Thing

In the middle of this brightly lit city, the huge lotus lantern towers like a lighthouse, for the vast majority of Lanyin people, this lotus lantern itself is a miracle, no one knows where it came from, but everyone knows that it will appear on this day.

Because this lotus lantern has a history of more than 100 years, even if the oldest old man comes to reminisce, he remembers running around this lantern and jumping and cheering when he was a child.

And under the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp, Ao Xuehua still hugged Xiao Jiu, and outsiders couldn't see any clues.

Her shot was like lightning, and that speed was like a ghost, even if Xiao Jiu had also cultivated a thousand tribulations, there was no way to make a judgment in advance.

The black-haired girl chuckled in her ear, and her laughter was indescribably cold: "If I want to kill you now, it's just a matter of raising my hands, but tonight, I'm afraid even I have to worry about my own safety." ”

"You're not going to kill me." Xiao Jiu only felt that Ao Xuehua's hand was cold and slippery, like a snake with a peeled skin, coiled around her neck, and she might spit out a letter at any time, but her hand still wrote in her palm: "Just as I won't die." ”

Ao Xuehua sighed slightly and let go of her right hand: "There is no problem with your vocal cords, it's just aphasia." ”

"Very good, I know that you have practiced a thousand tribulations, then, the thirty-six dust tribulations must have been watched, do you remember the eighth tribulation sound tribulation?"

Xiao Jiu only understood the extraordinaryness of this girl he met by chance at this moment, and he didn't wait for her to answer.

"Listen, just think about the Eighth Tribulation and practice a little fur. You can speak easily. ”

"There are only a few heirs of a thousand eons in this world, if you really want to, let's go forward together tonight."

After saying this, Ao Xuehua grabbed Xiao Jiu's neck, as if the girl who was calm and slaughtered just now was not her at all, and said with a big grin: "That negative man will let him be with that ice doll, come, let's team up and kill the pair of adulterers **** on this Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp." ”

Ge Sheng, who was listening to it on the side, jumped to his feet and said, "Hey, don't say it so badly, okay." ”

Ao Xuehua protected Xiao Jiu behind him, his eyes were full of extremely narrow taste, and said: "If it weren't for you and that ice doll holding hands with me and me, Lang Qing concubine, where would my Xiao Jiu be so angry, you flower radish who kills a thousand knives, talk to me and cut your tongue again." ”

Even Xiao Jiu felt that she was too much, and felt that this sister was really powerful, so she covered her forehead slightly, and wrote helplessly: "Sister, why do you use the idiom so well." ”

The pony-tailed girl raised her head and said without any shame: "That's natural, I deliberately specialized in Lanye before I came, and the slang used for scolding must be learned first, this is common sense." ”

Xiao Jiu's three views were a little changed by the sister in front of him: "Although I am very relieved by your scolding, it is also common sense to consider age." ”

Ao Xuehua touched her nose without repentance, and had bad intentions: "This, who is he?" ”

"He's my brother." Xiao Jiu wrote solemnly.

"Is it a forbidden brother-sister indecent love, I support you." The pony-tailed girl's eyes lit up, "Then my brother's conscience found out that he was trying to pull back the prodigal son from the precipice, but my sister was addicted to love and couldn't extricate herself, this bridge is fantastic." ”

The corners of Xiao Jiu's eyes jumped, and he wrote seriously: "You made me want to kill." ”

Ao Xuehua laughed, raised her hand and rubbed Xiao Jiu's hair, which was not very smooth, again: "So, sometimes this is the best way, don't be so unhappy." ”

Xiao Jiu was silent, indeed, at that moment just now, she really forgot about her unhappiness with Ge Sheng, looked at the white sister in front of her, nodded and wrote, "Thank you, you are really a good sister." ”

Qingli looked at the two of them in the fourth spring, and tried to raise his hand to touch Xingxi's forehead, but the other party quietly stepped back to avoid it, and he had to look at Ge Sheng and the black-clothed mage side: "Is Senior Sister interested in being together?" ”

Ge Sheng looked at the black-clothed mage curiously, only to see that she seemed to be thinking again, nodded, and said in a slight voice: "Hmm." ”

At this moment, the master of ceremonies in the venue looked at the number of people in the venue, checked the time, stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Before the game starts, I will reiterate the rules. ”

"First, each team consists of two people, one is responsible for decrypting and the other is responsible for finding the mystery."

"Second, the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern is divided into nine layers, each layer has eighty-one, seventy-two, sixty-three, forty-five and other riddles with multiples of nine, and there are square grooves under each riddle. It is important to note that starting from the sixth layer, there are only four, three, two, and one riddle left on each floor to ensure that there are not too many teams involved in the final competition. ”

"After the sixth layer, each layer will give the contestants a prize, which is worth no less than one gold leaf."

"Third, each layer is limited to one stick of incense, and overtime is eliminated, so please cherish your time."

"I believe that everyone comes with their own companions, if you come alone, it is inevitable that you will lose your tacit understanding with passers-by, so I hope that single friends will call out to their companions outside as soon as possible, and at the same time, I will show you the winning prizes of this competition."

Listening to the words of the master of ceremonies, the crowd immediately became commotion, because the notice outside did not mention that the two of them should sign up in a team, so there was only one group of friends left, and a group of people paid a silver horn to come to the venue, fortunately, the land enclosed by the copper fence was quite large, except for the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern with the door closed in the center, it was more than enough for hundreds of people to stand in the open space.

I have to say that there are still quite a lot of rich people in this Lanyin City who have spare money.

……

……

"Have you started?" The gloomy man looked out the window at the crowd, and he sat in the darkness, as if blending into the darkness itself.

The huge Nine Treasure Lotus lamp stood outside the window, and the light was faintly reflected on his face.

"Yes, as the lord expected." The man in front of him replied solemnly. "A total of six hundred and twenty-three teams have entered, and everything has been arranged, but the subordinates are still worried that the city lord is using the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern like this, which is inevitably a little inappropriate."

"The tradition of more than 100 years in Lanyin City can be abandoned in one fell swoop." The city lord shook his head: "This lamp has protected Lanyin City for a hundred years, so it will naturally continue to protect it." ”

Then he paused: "How's the clothes?" ”

The man said, "The young lady has been a little lost since she came back, and she didn't answer any questions she asked. ”

The city lord groaned and sighed: "Bring your clothes out, I'll ask in person." ”
