Chapter 95 Thousands of Trees, Fireworks, Ten Thousand Lights, Lang Rides a Bamboo Horse and Throws Green Plums
"You're a spiritual cultivator, you can't come in and you can transmit your spiritual power to me, why are you standing outside...... Uh......"
Wan Ning walked to the gate of Wanfu with his slippers and messy hair, he pulled off the copper bolt with a "click" and pushed the gate open, but looked at Zhou Yuya who was standing outside and was stunned.
The girl wore a light pink coat, embroidered with a few peach blossoms at the hem of the skirt, and the emerald green lotus belt tied on the light red lining restrained her slender waist, setting off the beautiful and graceful body curves of the young woman. She was carrying a bag of splendid sachets and a delicate jade bracelet hanging from her wrist, which was a birthday gift that Wanning had bought for Zhou Yuya's mother, Aunt Ling, but was taken away by the girl without permission.
"Good...... Isn't it good-looking......"
It seemed that she was not very comfortable with Wan Ning's direct gaze, the girl lowered her head, she stretched out her hand and touched the peach blossom pinned to her ear, and asked in a playful voice.
"Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking. ”
Wan Ning reacted at this time, and he nodded and replied like a chicken pecking rice.
"Flowers are good-looking or people are good-looking. ”
Hearing the boy's slightly clumsy response, the girl's nervous mood relaxed slightly, she smiled lightly, raised her head and asked playfully. Wan Ning noticed that the girl who usually doesn't wear makeup outlined her eyebrows today, and her already plump red lips were even more bright red and attractive, which made the young man swallow a mouthful of saliva very ungracefully.
"This is the real flower demon, what kind of flower demon am I compared to her. ”
Xiao Meihua stayed on the Yin Soul Ring worn by Wan Ning and praised sincerely. She is also a beautiful woman, plus she is arrogant and rarely praises others, but at this moment, she is also amazed by Zhou Yuya's appearance.
"It's on you, so it's beautiful. ”
Wan Ning picked his head and was bored for a long time, and finally came up with a fairly qualified answer.
"Hmph, you are so good at talking, you have hooked up with your little sister in the Aoki Sect. ”
Zhou Yuya glared at Wan Ning and said angrily.
"What's the matter, I've been cultivating without distractions. ”
Wan Ning hurriedly waved his hand, and said righteously, the only women he was familiar with in the Aoki Sect were Sun Qien and Xu Linghua, both of whom were monsters in his eyes, and they couldn't give birth to the slightest feeling between men and women.
"Alright, let's stop chatting here, the floats are going to parade, we need to hurry. ”
Not far away, there was a melodious drum sound on Mujiang Street, indicating the beginning of the harvest festival, Zhou Yuya took Wanning's sleeve and was about to walk down the street.
"Wait, wait, how can I see people in this outfit, I'll go back and take care of it a little first, and I'll be back soon!"
Wan Ning was pulled and walked two steps, feeling that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he found that he was still wearing home slippers, the young man quickly refused, and ran back to Wanfu with a smoke.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Wan Ning wore a brown coat and walked out of Wanfu. The young man was dressed plainly and elegantly, his hairstyle was handsome, he wore a crystal blue jade pendant around his waist, and he held a delicate folding fan in his hand, looking at Zhou Yuya with a smile.
"That's so handsome. ”
Zhou Yuya lightly covered her lips and said with some surprise.
"It's okay, after all, my appearance is here, and I'm very handsome if I get it casually...... The floats are already halfway through the parade, so go fast. ”
Zhou Yuya wanted to say something, but Wan Ning pulled her cuffs and walked to the street.
"Shameless thing, it's obvious that my amazing makeup skills saved your face, okay? ”
Little Plum Blossom protested dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I know it's your credit, you're the best. ”
Wan Ning and Zhou Yuya passed through the crowd and finally arrived at the parade float, and while chatting with Zhou Yuya, he said through Shen Nian and Xiao Meihua.
"Look, it's the Dance of Sacrifice!"
Zhou Yuya raised her head, looked up at the strong man standing on the brightly lit float and dancing hard with a mask, and said excitedly.
There are four people on the roof of the float, one is shirtless, beating a cowhide drum, one is wearing a white robe and wearing a mask of the god of harvest, playing the god of harvest, and the two strong men mentioned by Zhou Yuya dance around the drum, the dance posture is savage and full of tension. After all, thousands of years ago, in the southern Xinjiang occupied by the barbarian Wu clan in the Zhao Kingdom, it is normal for this kind of sacrificial dance inherited from ancient times to have an exotic color.
The streets were crowded with people, everyone followed the pace of the float and moved slowly, Zhou Yuya and Wan Ning also followed the flow of people to the center of the festival, the two chatted and laughed, since stepping into the spiritual path again, Wan Ning had not experienced this pure happiness for a long time.
"You see, across the street is Granny Wang, who sells tofu on South Street, and she also took her little grandson out to play. ”
Seemingly moved by the lively atmosphere of the crowd, Zhou Yuya was quite excited, her cheeks were red, she stood on tiptoe and pointed to the opposite side of the float, turned her head and said to Wan Ning.
"I'll see, isn't that chubby, why haven't I seen him for a few days, and I've gained weight again. ”
Wan Ning looked over with Zhou Yuya's guidance, and saw the mother-in-law and grandson at a glance, and the young man waved his hand to them, but they were immersed in the joy of the festival and didn't seem to see themselves. Just as Wan Ning was looking away from embarrassment, he accidentally saw a familiar cyan shadow flashing by.
Xu Linghua: Why did she end up here?
Wan Ning had a question in his heart, he wanted to go through the crowd to find the shadow, but was pulled by Zhou Yuya: "Hey, the float passes, it's very dangerous to cross the street now." ”
After such a pause, the cyan shadow disappeared into the crowd, never to be found again.
"Well, I just saw an acquaintance, a bit like, I should have admitted my mistake, let's move on. ”
Wan Ning finally withdrew his gaze from looking into the distance, he rubbed Zhou Yuya's head and replied with a smile. He came back today to accompany Zhou Yuya for the festival, and the affairs of the sect should be put down, and maybe he was indeed wrong for a while.
Therefore, Wan Ning didn't take this matter to heart, he quickly left it behind and continued to talk and laugh with Zhou Yuya. The two confided in each other about each other's lives during the time of parting, Zhou Yuya naturally had a good life because of a noble master, and Wan Ning didn't want the girl to worry too much about herself, so she deliberately omitted the hostility of the sect elders to herself and various critical moments of birth and death.
But even so, Wan Ning's rich experience had already made Zhou Yuya, who had been cultivating in the sect all day, scream again and again, and couldn't stop patting her slightly bulging little chest.
"Then in the end, Zhou Tai and Sister Liu Li were together. ”
At this time, the float has reached the end of the festival, which is a festival center built in a vacant lot on the outskirts. The two of them also stopped, and stood not far from the campfire and watched the people dancing around the fireplace.
"People and ghosts have different paths, and they themselves know that holding on to their obsession and not letting go will only cause irreparable and devastating damage to each other, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to pass by the mass grave that day, and happened to see Liu Li's ghost, otherwise Zhou Tai didn't know Liu Li's last intention until he died, and they were really bitter mandarin ducks. ”
Thinking of the past, Wan Ning couldn't help but sigh. But fortunately, the final ending is not too bad, one person and one ghost untie this link, the yang people let go of their knots and move forward calmly, and the yin ghosts release their grievances and re-enter reincarnation. If Zhou Tai earnestly praises the Buddha for Liu Li, Liu Li and the little girl may be reincarnated in the Yin Shi family in the next life, which is also what Zhou Tai can do for Liu Li in the end.
Wan Ning was lying on the lawn, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yuya who was lying beside him, and said. Zhou Yuya nodded thoughtfully, as if digesting what Wan Ning said.
However, the teenage girl really couldn't calm down, and when Wan Ning was seriously looking at the night sky and counting the stars, Zhou Yuya sat up and pulled Wan Ning to the festival stall.
"Boss! Give me ten paper nets! I want to catch goldfish!"
Zhou Yuya hurriedly ran to a stall, she looked at the colorful eye-catching goldfish in the water tank, took out a broken silver, handed it to the boss, and said with great interest.
"You haven't fished one since you were a kid, so don't waste any more money. ”
Wan Ning looked at Zhou Yuya, who was holding a pile of paper nets and squatting in front of the water tank, and said.
"Don't look down on people, I almost fished one up last year, but unfortunately it was run away when I finally got out of the net, and this year I will definitely be able to complete the breakthrough from zero to one!"
Zhou Yuya curled up her little tongue and opened her eyes wide, she looked down at the goldfish swimming around in the water tank, concentrated, and unconsciously raised a smile on the corner of her mouth. Wan Ning looked at the reflection of the pink-clothed girl in the water tank, concentrated, and unconsciously raised a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey!
Zhou Yuya stared at a pure white goldfish, she slowly sank the paper net, moved to the goldfish's body, and quickly pulled it up with a "bang", but this pure white goldfish was extremely flexible, and it got out of the encirclement at once.
"Oops...... It's okay, try again!"
Zhou Yuya threw aside the broken paper net in her hand, took out a brand new paper net, and tried again.
The girl's sighs and sighs kept coming, and there were more and more broken nets piled up behind her, but the small bucket of fish next to it was still empty.
"No, this white fish is too difficult to catch, I'll change the target, I'll leave you a paper net, and you will catch it for the last time." ”
There are only two of the ten paper nets left, Zhou Yuya rubbed her sore arm, sighed, found a spotted goldfish at random, and reached out to catch it.
The goldfish sensed the aura of danger and wanted to swim away, but for some reason, its body instantly froze, and it was fished up by Zhou Yuya.
"Ahhh!!!!h
Although there were all kinds of disgust on her lips, Zhou Yuya put the spotted goldfish into the small bucket very cherishedly, and then turned around and boasted to Wan Ning.
"It's amazing, it's you. ”
Wan Ning clapped his hands and congratulated, Zhou Yuya, who was immersed in excitement, did not see the fiery bear shadow slowly diving from the young man's eyes.
"Come, for the last time, you come to catch the white fish, I feel so good now, I will give you the opportunity, you must not commit a crime!"
Zhou Yuya handed over the only remaining paper net to Wan Ning, Wan Ning wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhou Yuya's unquestionable eyes, he had to take it hard.
After all, Wanning is known as the No. 1 fishing expert in Makue Prefecture, and once set a terrifying record of catching nine goldfish with ten paper nets, which no one has broken so far. When Wan Ning was a child, he would walk around every year on the paper net fishing vendors at the Harvest Festival stalls, and now that Wan Ning has long since retired from the fishing world, these vendors have apparently forgotten the fear of being ruled by him.
Because in essence, there is no difference between catching fish with paper nets and spiritual battles, plus Wan Ning has now cultivated the body technique of stepping on snow without a trace, and his agility and reaction are different from what he used to be, and it is not easy to deal with a goldfish that is only a little more flexible.
"The first little fishing expert in Makue Prefecture is still so powerful after so many years. ”
Zhou Yuya picked up the water bag and stared at the two goldfish in the bag that kept spitting bubbles, and was in a good mood.
"Those were all childhood nicknames, and you remember them now. ”
Wan Ning held the rock sugar gourd that was gnawed by Zhou Yuya in his hand, and chuckled.
"Why don't you remember, because you have been very special since you were a child, when those boys who were as happy as monkeys bullied girls all day long, only you were willing to accompany me to look at the stars, tell me stories, and be more willing to listen to my heart. What daddy is drunk again today, and a little purple flower has grown in the yard, and now I think about it really stupid, I don't know that I was really willing to tell you anything at that time, and you were also willing to sit next to me and listen meticulously. ”
Zhou Yuya walked in the crowd, her eyes kept staring at the two goldfish playing with each other, and said to Wanning.
"It's just precocious. ”
Wan Ning pinched his nose and said. I have thousands of years of memories and experiences, and when did I fall into comparison with those little children who were human for the first time.
"Anyway, I'm really happy, even if the future is unpredictable, at least in the past days, you can always be by my side, you are my most precious memory...... One. ”
The girl had some sore feet because she was wearing clogs, so she found a wooden bench and sat down with Wanning, she looked at the black night, her eyes were empty, and she muttered. In the water bag carried by Zhou Yuya, a somewhat funny-looking spotted goldfish chased the pure white goldfish, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed, and the latter wagged his tail and pulled away again.
"I'll always be there. ”
The boy looked at the girl beside him who was a head shorter, and because of the long journey, the peach blossoms on the girl's black hair were a little crooked.
He stretched out his hand and carefully straightened the peach blossoms, but accidentally touched the girl's hot earlobe, and the boy quickly withdrew his hand as if he had touched a soldering iron.
"Behold, the two goldfish in this water bag, one is chasing with all his might, and the other is always swimming forward, even if they are less than a finger away in this narrow space, but they can never guess each other's thoughts. ”
The girl's slender fingers gently poked the water bag, and she held her chin with a sad expression. And hearing what Zhou Yuya said, Wan Ning also fell silent.
The relationship between him and Zhou Yuya is not like this, the relationship is so close that he can even feel the breath of the other party, but Zhou Yuya is extremely talented, favored by his predecessors, and has a promising future, just like the pure platinum fish who is single-minded and dedicated to the future.
In contrast, he is an ugly spotted goldfish, disliked by others, and he has no extraordinary talent, so he is destined to have no chance with glamorous.
The distance between the goldfish and the water bag is so short after all, but the vast human realm, as well as the wider spiritual realm, has no limitation of time and space. If nothing else, the distance between him and Zhou Yuya will only get bigger and bigger, until in his memory, the impression of the girl who is related to the past and linked to beauty is gradually blurred, and finally disappears completely.
In a lifetime of poverty, no matter how hard the piebald goldfish tries, they will never be able to catch up with the pure white goldfish.
Therefore, when the distance between the heart and the heart has not yet opened, isn't it the most important thing to express your true intentions? ”
Just when Wan Ning was a little depressed, Zhou Yuya suddenly straightened up, she put the water bag on the other side, walked off the bench, and stood in front of Wan Ning. Her hands grasped the corners of her skirt, her cheeks flushed, and she was obviously shy, but she tried her best to stand up like an aggressive little rooster.
"Yes, that's the truth, but you have to know ......"
Wan Ning was a little hesitant, even if he opened the tenth layer of the Tianyan Tower and won the favor of Mrs. Zou, but with his current self, he didn't dare at all, or he couldn't give Zhou Yuya any promises.
He can confidently tell himself that he can defeat all the suitors of the girl's future, and he can also confidently tell all his rivals that one day he will trample them all under his feet, and even he never doubts that he can defeat Lin Liusheng again and save the Spirit Realm again.
But he only can't, only can't say a word to this childhood sweetheart who trusts himself unconditionally and gets along with him from childhood to adulthood, he knows that the most vulnerable and untrustworthy thing in the world is the oath of a man who has nothing, but that girl is shining brightly, like a diamond, attracting the attention of the world.
"Your words don't have to be said now, I asked you to come here today, not to force you to make some kind of vows, I am not the kind of woman who is hypocritical and self-paralyzed, I want to meet you, I just want to say my ...... I've wanted to say something for a long time...... Because I'm afraid that the longer I leave you, the longer I'm afraid, I'm afraid of ......"
The bronze lamps of the vendors of the harvest festival are connected into a sea of orange light, setting off the girl's body trembling slightly due to excessive tension, and it is reflected in the eyes of the young man.
"You speak slowly, I'll listen. ”
The young man, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, couldn't help pursing his lips at this time, and he tried his best to keep his voice from trembling, and said softly.
"I ...... I...... I've always ...... Always ......!"
The girl covered her chest lightly, panting, a tear oozed from the corner of her eye, it seemed that the last few words were difficult to speak, she took a few deep breaths, clenched her pink fist, and finally closed her eyes, and said loudly-
"I've always been!"
Only a violent explosion could be heard, and a yellow light whistled across the sky, bursting into a huge multicolored firework, followed by a continuous whistling sound, and the brilliant fireworks like silver light and fire trees filled the sky, illuminating the night sky.
Zhou Yuya, who was stunned by the sudden loud noise, didn't care about saying anything, and the whole person was trembling in Wanning's arms. Wan Ning knew that this Nizi had been afraid of thunder and lightning since she was a child, and just the fireworks took up all of the two, so she comforted her repeatedly, so that Zhou Yuya had only slowly recovered, but she still had a shocked expression.
It's just that no one noticed at this time that the two goldfish in the water bag were finally tired of swimming, leaning together and quietly spitting bubbles, bubbles, and the two strings of bubbles circled each other in the transparent water, and finally merged into one.
