Chapter 0439: Lantern Festival
The fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, the Lantern Festival.
Eat Lantern Festival, enjoy lanterns, guess flower riddles, and put sky lanterns......
This series of customs and habits has become the theme of the Chinese Star Lantern Festival.
The flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is hidden.
On the lanterns, the mystery is busy.
At dusk, the trees hold hands firmly, and the flowers are full and the moon is prosperous.
Tonight's Huaxia Dragon City, the lights are bright, like a dream. The streets are decorated with countless beautiful lanterns, attracting many creatures to chase and frolic and compete in riddles.
The Huaxia Dragon City Palace is also exceptionally beautifully decorated. In the palace hall, it is crowded with people, and it is particularly lively.
In tonight's Huaxia Imperial Palace, the military and political leaders of all over China were invited over and gathered together. They knew that tonight was not only for gathering together for a lively Lantern Festival, but also for seeing off the brothers of the Chinese ghost clan.
Because after tonight, the brothers of the Huaxia ghost clan will leave Huaxia Star and return to the ghost world, and they don't know when they will come back next time.
In the palatial hall, Duan Qianlang attended in a gorgeous costume, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and raised it high to the leaders of the Chinese ghost clan present, and said: "Brother of the ghost clan, happy Lantern Festival!"
"Thank you, the king!"
Compared with the creatures of the Huaxia Terran Race, the countless ghosts of the Huaxia Ghost Clan have more gratitude to Duan Qianlang in addition to respect in their hearts.
Because in the environment of the ghost world, it is extremely difficult for ghosts to grow up, and ghost masters such as You Butcher and Maha are actually not very strong before they meet Duan Qianlang.
It was precisely because of the appearance of Duan Qianlang that they got a chance to defy the sky, so they soared to the sky and became an existence that countless ghosts and spirits looked up to in the ghost world.
Therefore, during the years that followed Duan Qianlang, Maha and other ghost masters were extremely loyal, and in their hearts, they had long treated Duan Qianlang as the lord of this life.
As their cultivation continues to improve, there will definitely be more ghosts who will raise their cultivation to the acquired realm in the future. During this time period, Duan Qianlang's cultivation will also improve step by step.
One day, in the high-level star interface, they can still get Duan Qianlang's help, allowing them to go further in the Acquired Realm.
After three bowls of wine in a row, Duan Qianlang waved his hand and said, "Brothers, please take a seat!"
After everyone was seated, Duan Qianlang said: "The Lantern Festival is the last important season of the Huaxia Star New Year, let's gather together tonight, drink together, and tomorrow order the heads of all the academies and the leaders of all departments to assemble at the Huaxia Dragon City campus to see off the brothers of the ghost clan!"
"Yes!"
Dongfang Changkong and the others got up, arched their hands in a circle, and answered in a loud voice.
Duan Qianlang smiled slightly and said, "Let's serve the rice balls!"
Dongfang Changkong stood up and gave an order, and countless attendants entered the main hall and brought bowls of steaming rice balls to the table.
Subsequently, everyone ate rice balls, drank fine wine, and competed with each other, and the atmosphere was even stronger.
During the banquet, Duan Qianlang and Dongfang Changkong were in a group, Ren Xianxian and Bai Luofan were in a group, Ai Xiaomo and Yu Xiangning were in a group, and they all toasted wine and sent sincere blessings to the ghost clan creatures on each table.
After the toast was over, the leaders of the various courtyards and the commanders of the various departments of Huaxia Star began to warmly entertain the ghost brothers at the same table, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and drinking well to their heart's content.
On Duan Qianlang's table, there was Leng Feng, as well as Jiao Ye and Qingluo, as well as Lin Xiaoyu and Mu Qianling of the original Demon Dao War Group. Although the former war group is gone, the affection between them has continued, and it has become stronger and stronger until now, and it has not changed.
"Brother Feng, drink!" Qing Luo took the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth at once, and his eyes were red, and tears were already unconsciously flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Leng Feng said: "Qingluo, Xiangning, you newlywed Yan'er, the couple is deeply in love. Brother is here to send blessings to you again, may you be in harmony with each other, white hands with one heart!"
After that, he smiled "haha" and said: "But you have to fight for breath, the next time I see you, I must see my little nephew or little niece, otherwise I won't follow!"
Qingluo shook off his tears, and laughed with "haha": "No problem, you can prepare a gift, haha!"
Yu Xiang's face turned red when he landed, and he secretly twisted a handful of Qingluo, which made him grin in pain.
At this time, Jiao Ye was already drinking red all over the sky, and he said around his big tongue: "Qingluo, you have to understand the meaning of the cold wind, next time you can't see your baby, he will help you give birth, haha!"
"Phew!" Several people suddenly shook their heads helplessly and smiled, and Leng Feng even laughed and scolded: "You stinky mouth, you really deserve to be beaten!"
"Brother...... Hug ......"
And at this time, Nie Cui walked over with Zhong'er, and the little guy staggered unsteadily, but he didn't let Nie Cui'er beside him support him, and ran towards Duan Qianlang like he was drunk.
"Zhong'er!"
Duan Qianlang hurriedly got up, walked forward quickly, raised his hand and hugged Zhong'er, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Zhong'er, have you eaten well?"
Zhong'er was still young, but she just babbled and said, "I want to eat, I want to eat......"
The cute and painful appearance caused everyone to laugh, only to see Jiao Ye stagger to his feet, holding a wine bowl, and said, "Come, good loyalty, drink!"
"Wow!"
It seemed that he was stimulated by Jiao Ye's drunken body, Zhong'er cried all of a sudden, but there were no tears, and he grabbed Duan Qianlang's shirt tightly, refusing to relax at all.
"Oh, savage, you're scared of the child!" Bai Luofan felt sorry for the child, walked over and pushed Jiao Ye away, and hugged Zhong'er from Duan Qianlang's arms, and coaxed it softly, which was why Zhong'er's cry gradually became smaller.
Qingluo "hehe" smiled and said: "This guy has the face of a butcher at first glance, it's strange if he doesn't scare the child!"
Everyone laughed, Jiao Ye burped without any image, glared at Qingluo and said, "Get out of the way, you will have a baby in the future, see if I don't scare him every day!"
"You dare?"
Qingluo and Yuxiang Ningden glared at him, causing everyone to laugh again.
Looking at Nie Cui'er who was standing on the side, Duan Qianlang said, "Cui'er, come and sit!"
"No!" Nie Cui'er shook her head and said, "I'm going back tomorrow, let Zhong'er see you again, and I don't know when it will be next time!"
Duan Qianlang nodded, and said, "It's hard to take Zhong'er, it's hard for you!"
Nie Cui'er smiled sweetly and said, "No!"
Ghost Lie, who was sitting at the table, stood up and said to Duan Qianlang: "Please rest assured that the God King, his subordinates will definitely take care of Cui'er and Zhong'er and not let them be wronged!"
Duan Qianlang said: "Well, I believe in you!"
"Thank you, God King!" Ghost Lie bowed, and Nie Cui'er walked over and reported Zhong'er to his arms. I saw Zhong'er obediently waving his hand to Duan Qianlang before leaving and sitting down again.
At this time, Xiao An walked over with a wine bowl in both hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao An wants to toast you with a glass of wine!"
"Okay!" Duan Qianlang immediately raised his wine glass and said, "Xiao An, cultivate well, don't let me down, and don't let your mother down!"
"Well, I must remember the king's teachings!" Xiao An said solemnly, and then drank the wine in the bowl.
Since the ghosts of the Huaxia ghost clan came to Huaxiaxing, Jiao Ye and the others all knew Xiao An's identity, and at this moment, when he saw the end of the toast, several of them also stood up, only to hear Jiao Ye say: "Xiao An, although your mother is a summoning beast of a thousand waves, they have the experience of life and death, and they have a great affection for each other, and we also have great respect for your mother, let's have a drink together!"
Xiao An hurriedly said, "Thank you uncles!" After speaking, he drank another glass before retreating to his seat.
"Brother Ghost Clan, listen to my orders, let's toast to the God King!" After Xiao An retreated, Maha stood up and said to all the ghosts in the main hall.
So, all the ghosts stood up, held up the wine bowls, and said in unison, "Subordinate and god-honoring kings!"
"Okay!" Duan Qianlang picked up the wine bowl and said, "My brothers, do it!"
After they finished drinking, the attendants poured them wine again, only to hear Maha say, "This bowl of wine, let's give it to the brothers of all ethnic groups in China!"
Dongfang Changkong and the others hurriedly got up, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "Brothers, please!"
Then everyone drank it all, and after they sat down, they drank it again.
In this way, the night passed quietly in this harmonious atmosphere.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Maha and other ghost clan masters arranged to rest. In the main hall, Duan Qianlang, Leng Feng, Jiao Ye and Qingluo talked all night and never slept .
Huaxia Dragon City at night, the second half of the night has gradually quieted down, but in a dark corner, a few pairs of eyes are looking at the Huaxia Palace in the distance.
After a long time, one of the middle-aged men said with a gloomy look on his face, "Xinggu, isn't there any news on that side?"
The man named "Xinggu" stepped forward and said, "Father, I have already received the news, and the people on that side have already lurked in the starry sky around Huaxia Star, just wait for tomorrow when all the ghosts of the Huaxia Ghost Clan are assembled, and they will be wiped out!"
"Very good!" The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Huaxia Xingduan Qianlang, since you dare to harm the life of Wu'er Shahegu, then let the millions of ghosts of the Huaxia Ghost Clan bury him, and you yourself will pay a huge price!"
It turned out that this person was Sha Tianming, the lord of the quicksand star, and the last time his eldest son Shahegu led the army to attack Huaxia Xing, he unexpectedly became a prisoner of Huaxia Xing.
Although he was later summoned by Sha Hegu, Sha Tianming was a cautious person, he did not send troops at the first time, but ordered someone to lurk on Huaxia Star to secretly investigate, and finally learned that this was a trap laid by Huaxia Star, waiting for the living force of Quicksand Star to throw himself into the net.
As for what happened later on Huaxia Star, Sha Tianming basically knew everything, and of course he also knew the news of the tragic death of his eldest son Shahegu, which made him extremely angry while grieving.
However, he understood that the power of Quicksand Star could not stop the tiger and wolf army on Huaxia Star at all, so after learning the news that Huaxia Star had started a counterattack, he decisively ordered all the living forces on Huaxia Star to evacuate Quicksand Star.
Although he was evacuating, he didn't think about letting go of his hatred at all, especially after learning that Quicksand Star had been ruthlessly sacked by Huaxia Star's legion soldiers, which only aggravated the hatred for Huaxia Star in his heart.
In the following days, he sent more spies to investigate all kinds of news on Huaxia Star, and finally understood that the reason why Huaxia Star turned defeat into victory was that Duan Qianlang, the main body of Huaxia Star, led a group of fierce ghost world ghosts to descend from the sky like divine soldiers, completely reversing the situation.
Originally, he was still thinking hard about how to take revenge, but it was the appearance of the ghosts of the Huaxia Ghost Clan that made him see a strong hope.
In the Nine Heavens Galaxy, there is the law of heaven and earth, and this wonderful law maintains the balance in the Nine Heavens galaxy, and once something surpasses the law of heaven and earth, it will definitely be punished by the law of heaven and earth.
For example, Duan Qianlang rashly brought countless ghost soldiers below the acquired realm to the living world, and went on a killing spree, killing countless living beings, which had already violated the laws of heaven and earth.
There is a prison in the world, and there is a prison in the galaxy.
Among the Nine Heavens and Stars, the Hell Realm is an extremely special realm, and this realm has the power to patrol the heavens. If something like this that violates the laws of heaven and earth appears, if the beings of the prison realm know about it, they will be punished by them.
Sha Tianming took advantage of this and sent the news to the prison world in a special way, in order to use the hands of the prison world to completely suppress Huaxia Xing and the star lord Duan Qianlang.
Of course, when he sent the news, he also had an extra mind, which was transmitted anonymously, so on the other side of the prison world, he didn't know who sent the news.
As long as Huaxia Star is hit hard, then the newly formed Huaxia Star Alliance will naturally be implicated, and maybe the Star Alliance may be dissolved.
Among the Huaxia Star Alliance, Duan Qianlang is the backbone of the Star Alliance, and the star masters of several other stars are all looking forward to Duan Qianlang. And this time, the arrival of the heavy soldiers in the prison realm will not only punish the ghosts of the ghost realm who rashly broke into the living world, but also severely punish Duan Qianlang, who is the person in charge, maybe Duan Qianlang is likely to be arrested by the masters of the prison realm and imprisoned in the prison realm.
If things are really as Sha Tianming thought, then Huaxia Star and Huaxia Star Alliance will be completely finished. Therefore, Sha Tianming's plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and it really hit the key point of Huaxia Star.
And after receiving such news, the prison community will definitely pay special attention to it. Therefore, the prison realm quickly dispatched people and horses, and after a detailed inspection, they immediately dispatched a large army and secretly surrounded Huaxiaxing.
It's just that this series of actions was carried out extremely secretly in the prison world, and Duan Qianlang never got any news at all. It was also Duan Qianlang who cared about brotherly love, and kept the ghosts of the ghost world such as Leng Feng to celebrate the New Year in Huaxia Star, so he delayed a lot of time.
If it was after the Great War, Leng Feng and other ghosts left Huaxia Star as soon as possible, then Sha Tianming would not have a good chance to retaliate.
Now that he heard that the creatures of the prison realm had surrounded Huaxia Xing, Sha Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the brightly lit Huaxia Palace in front of him, and whispered to himself: "Tonight is brilliant, tomorrow will definitely be a ruin, this seat is a little eager to see that scene!"
Sha Xinggu retracted his gaze and said, "Father, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go first!"
Sha Tianming nodded and said, "Okay, let's hide in the shadows and wait to see a good show tomorrow!"
Casually, a few people seemed to be passing by in a hurry and disappeared into the night.
