Three days from the beginning of the summer solstice are the days when the people pray to the god of agriculture for good weather this year.

The people take food as the day, since the beginning of spring, the people have large and small festivals and customs hoping to get the protection of the gods, the three days of the summer solstice are not big or small, but the people in the city like to be lively, there are a series of activities and games.

On the night of the summer solstice, the gods were worshipped, the next night was to be worshiped by the ancestors, and on the third night – that is, the night when the lanterns were released on the Luo River – people worshiped the wild spirits.

Wild spirits inhabit mountains, rivers, roads, villages and towns...... Wander quietly wherever there are people or no.

They have no good or evil, no consciousness, and are scattered between heaven and earth like mayflies.

Whether it is grass or trees, monsters, or people, all living beings like to stay in the places where wild spirits gather—because wild spirits feed on filth, and they are like invisible rivers that bring away all the bad luck, disease, and irritability of the world...... Rinse and purify.

However, wild spirits are extremely fragile, and once they are in an area where the filth is too badly infested, they will disappear in an instant.

It is believed that pious and well-intentioned prayers can attract wild spirits to approach, and the custom of placing lanterns in Naksu came from this.

"It's beautiful."

Feng Yan stood on the bridge and muttered in a low voice, she looked at the little fire under the bridge that was slowly approaching from upstream, and she was in a trance for a while.

It turns out that the Summer Lantern Festival is like this......

The entire bridge was crowded with people passing slowly, and the crowded summer night was even hotter, but Feng Yan felt heartfelt freedom and joy.

She sweated uncontrollably and walked forward with Wei Xingzhen in the crowd.

"Ah Yan, be careful." Wei Xingzhen grabbed Feng Yan's arm tightly and pulled her slightly in her direction, "Ten million...... Don't get scattered. ”

In the crowd, Wei Xingzhen blocked the pushing behind him and beside him.

In such a place, once separated from Feng Yan, the consequences are unimaginable.

"What if you get separated," Feng Yan said lightly, "It's good if you come to me again?" ”

"Don't be willful," Wei Xingzhen's hand clenched tighter, "That's too dangerous—"

Before Wei Xingzhen's words fell, Feng Yan had already approached him.

“…… It seems that Lord Wei not only knows my likes and dislikes, but also knows my weaknesses completely, doesn't he? ”

Wei Xingzhen was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "...... This is not the place to say this. ”

Feng Yan laughed, "Then do you also know that with you, I will not be affected by the crowd?" ”

Wei Xingzhen's expression condensed slightly, "I-"

"So you said that sentence the night before yesterday on purpose, right?"

Under the lights, Feng Yan's expression seemed to be slightly drunk.

"Even my father and mother don't know about this kind of thing...... Who are you, and where did you find out? ”

Feng Yan tilted his head, his right hand stretched out to Wei Xingzhen's back, and the slender jade fingers that looked harmless to humans and animals finally stopped at the back of his heart.

"Think clearly, then answer."

Wei Xingzhen let her do this, without struggling at all.

There was a lot of noise, noise and noise, and no one looked at them.

The two were like ordinary lovers, standing inconspicuously at the edge of the crowd.

Feng Yan felt that Wei Xingzhen seemed to sigh softly.

"I said it to you on purpose......" Wei Xingzhen closed her eyes and replied in Feng Yan's ear, "But it's not a lie." ”

Feng Yan spoke softly, "The matter of the fire in Mingtang is related to you?" ”

"Nope."

"But do you know the details?"

“…… Know a little. ”

Feng Yan chuckled.

Wei Xingzhen paused, "If Ah Yan wants to take my life, or inform others of these suspicions—"

"No," Feng Yan suddenly let go, "I don't want to, just scare you." ”

Wei Xingzhen was puzzled, he was in place, looking at Feng Yan suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, I've been thinking about why Lord Wei insists on coming to greet him at dawn on the summer solstice," Feng Yan said softly, "Today I suddenly have an answer, an incredible answer......

“…… What the? ”

"Since that Dryad is coming for me, then when I leave the Feng Mansion, she will come to attack me." Feng Yan whispered, "If I get married at dusk yesterday, the story of the tree demon attacking the neighborhood and the arson of the servants will directly implicate me, and maybe the Feng family."

"Whether it's unintentional willow insertion, or painstaking efforts, it's always Lord Wei who defuses a disaster for me......," Feng Yan said with a smile, "So, I won't take revenge for the time being." ”

Wei Xingzhen's expression became a little complicated.

The smile in Feng Yan's eyes floated a little sly, "But Lord Wei also has to understand that doing these small actions under my nose is ...... It's dangerous. ”

Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Yan, "...... Ah Yan also thinks, am I a wicked person who can use demon magic? ”

"It doesn't matter."

Feng Yan glanced sideways slightly, and the evening breeze blew her long hair.

"You are a wicked person, you are a demon, everything is good, for me, there is no difference."

……

"Lord Yin is not mistaken," Feng Yishu said in a loud voice, "That's indeed Wei Xingzhen and my sister!" hugged and hugged in public...... Wei Xingzhen is simply shameless! ”

On the jade candle floor, Feng Yishu and Yin Shiyun stood under the lantern of the corridor at a high place and watched this scene.

Yin Shiyun's face changed in an instant, and he didn't even have time to think about it, so he jumped down from the high platform on the fifth floor in the direction of Feng Yan-

There are so many people by Luoshui tonight, is Wei Xingzhen crazy, he actually brought Feng Yan here!

The sound of the wind in the high place is accompanied by "someone jumped off the building!! The exclamation sounded in Feng Yishu's ears, and he turned around and sighed, "Don't make a fuss!" ", and then followed Yin Shiyun from a high place to climb down the railing.

The other people on the same floor exclaimed in unison, and then gathered over, and people stood where Yin Shiyun and Feng Yishu were standing and looked down.

"I'm jumping off so high......"

"Hey, I seem to know! These two should be the adults of the Si Tiantai Peace Demon Bureau......"

"Wow! No wonder it flies! ”

Yin Shiyun gently landed on the carved railing of the stone bridge about six or seven steps away from Feng Yan, there were so many people here that he couldn't find a place to settle for a while—but the people around him immediately looked at him, and people instinctively retreated, Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan were like two reefs, revealing as the crowd receded.

"Wei Xingzhen!" Yin Shiyun snorted, "How dare you bring Ah Yan to such a place!" ”

Before Wei Xingzhen could speak, Feng Yan had already grabbed his hand quickly.

"Ignore him," Wei Xingzhen looked sideways at Feng Yan, who smiled at him, "Let's go." ”

Wei Xingzhen immediately understood, and the two of them held hands tightly in the crowded crowd and ran forward, and the unhappy scolding came from the inexplicable crowd around them, and the two ignored it completely.

Feng Yan carried the hem of her skirt and ran with Wei Xingzhen.

Countless faces passed by her, Feng Yan laughed loudly, and the laughter was as free and light as the wind chimes in the night.
