Linlang always had some dreams from time to time, and most of the dreams were strange, so the so-called night brother was quickly forgotten by her. As soon as the New Year is over, it will soon be the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in Luoyang City is much more lively than the New Year, the streets are full of lights, and the fire trees and silver flowers in the city are extraordinarily prosperous and lively.

Linlang loves to visit the lantern market, and the lantern market lasts for three days, and the lantern styles are complex and colorful. Linlang looks forward to these few days whenever the New Year is over, looking for a few friends to visit the lamp market together, guessing lantern riddles, so happy. Finally, when I watched a fireworks show, I really felt that this Lantern Festival was not in vain. Xin Qiji said: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain."

On the day of the Lantern Festival, every street and alley was lit with lanterns. Linlang asked Mu Qing to go to the city to see the lights, and there were lamps of different forms lit in front of each house, and the lights were shining like day.

When he arrived in the south of the city, Mu Qing shouted, "Linlang, look at it." ”

Following the direction of Mu Qing's finger, a tall light wheel was built there, nearly 10 zhang high, with tens of thousands of lights hanging on it. Linlang was only surprised, there was no such a big light wheel in previous years. It took countless manpower to build such a magnificent light wheel.

The two were looking excitedly, and several dragon dance teams came in the distance, beating gongs and drums, which was very lively.

Every step of the people on the street is like stepping over a thousand mountains and rivers. Linlang pulled Mu Qing and wanted to guess the riddle, but there were so many people that they were separated before they reached the riddle.

Linlang was pushed forward by the tide of pedestrians. Even if she had to do it again, she couldn't do it. In the end, she couldn't figure out where she was at all.

Just as she was being squeezed around, someone suddenly grabbed her hand from her side, and she barely stood firm. The man's palm was broad, it would definitely not be Mu Qing, but like a man's hand. Linlang thought that it was probably in such a chaotic scene that a certain gentleman recognized the wrong person and held the wrong hand.

Although this is excusable, Linlang can't help but be a little annoyed. Because she wanted to break free of that hand, but she was held tightly, no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape.

She finally realized that maybe someone took advantage of the chaos and wanted to take advantage of others. She gritted her teeth slightly, if she knew who was so bold and presumptuous, she couldn't let him go no matter what. It's just that in the bustling crowd, she can't turn back at all to see the owner of this hand, which is a disciple who is not long-eyed.

After a few moments, someone approached her. Linlang was shocked, and the other hand touched the knife in his arms, only knowing that this knife is infinitely powerful for ghosts, and he will try it on people today.

As soon as she touched the hilt of the knife, she heard the man behind her say, "Walk slowly, come to me." ”

Linlang turned her head slightly, only to see that the person talking to her turned out to be Zhong Jiu.

She couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was worried that she was watching the lights by herself, and it was very boring. But Zhong Jiu appeared, and there was not necessarily anything good, so she drooped her head again.

"It's really disappointing that you always come at inopportune times." Linlang complained.

Zhong Jiu stretched out a finger and put it on the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "I just came to visit the lamp market and watch the singing and dancing, how did I ruin your interest?" ”

Linlang sighed and said, "Didn't you let me go ghost hunting with you?" ”

Zhong Jiu only smiled at her and didn't answer her. He led her through the crowd of people coming and going, and walked a long way before he came to the street where the crowd was a little sparse. Linlang exhaled a long breath, and where there were few people, even the air felt extremely fresh.

In the distance is a moat, and there are already quite a few lights in the river. Linlang pulled Zhong Jiu and walked forward quickly, and said excitedly, "Let's go put a few lamps too." ”

A hundred meters away from the river, some people are setting up stalls selling all kinds of lanterns. Linlang went to buy a few and carefully put them into the river with Zhong Jiu. Linlang closed her eyes, folded her hands, and muttered something she didn't know what she was saying.

After a while, Linlang looked back at Zhong Jiu and asked curiously, "Why don't you make a wish?" ”

Zhong Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have any wishes, so naturally I don't have anything to promise." ”

Linlang got up, patted the dirt on his body, and was even more puzzled: "It's really strange, where is there anyone who doesn't have a wish?" ”

Zhong Jiu didn't speak, and handed his hand to Linlang. The riverside was slippery, and Linlang carried the hem of her skirt in both hands, and it was really difficult to go up to the shore. Looking at the hand handed over, she did not hesitate at all, and put her hand into Zhong Jiu's palm.

Zhong Jiu's palm is warm and generous, and it is reassuring to hold. Linlang's heart was hot, only to feel that her face was red and her ears were red, and her heart was fluttering, like a drum, and her chest was pounding.

When she got to the shore, Zhong Jiu didn't let go of her hand. They crossed an entire street until they saw a woman in red not far away in the middle of another street, and they stopped.

Red Aya stood under the lantern of a shop, the fire shining on her face, and the shadow was so dense that she couldn't see the expression on her face.

Linlang was a little scared, slowly moved her steps, and hid behind Zhong Jiu. It's just that she was curious again, slightly revealing a pair of eyes, looking up at Zhong Jiu, and then at Hong Aya. They didn't make any movement for a while, as if they were waiting for each other to see who could not hold their breath first.

After a long time, Red Aya came. She walked up to them and didn't speak, just staring behind Zhong Jiu.

Zhong Jiu couldn't help it, and asked Hong Aya in a cold voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

Red Aya smiled and said softly, "What do I want to do?" Today is the Lantern Festival, I can't come and see the lanterns yet? Why can't I come when you can come? ”

Zhong Jiu snorted and said, "You have never liked to be lively, I'm afraid this kind of occasion is not suitable for you." ”

Hong Aya stroked the hair on the sideburns, twisted a strand and wrapped it between her index fingers, laughed a few times, but her eyes were a little colder: "You know, I don't like to stay the same the most." On such a good day, hiding is always a no-no. I also put a lamp on the river and made a wish. I just don't know if I can make my wish come true today. ”

"Red Aya, with me here, you don't want to touch her for a minute." Zhong Jiu was angry, his tone was sharp, and Linlang couldn't help but tremble when he heard it in his ears.

She didn't know the purpose of Hongyan, why she always pestered her. If it was because she accidentally disturbed Hong Aya's cultivation at the beginning, she would have already said goodbye, and she would have no other way.

Linlang quietly tugged on Zhong Jiu's sleeve behind him and whispered, "Can I say a few words?" ”

Zhong Jiu seemed to think for a while, let out a low "um", and moved half a step to the left slightly, revealing half of his body. She looked at Hongya and said, "How can you let me go?" ”

Red Aya's eyes were full of anger, and she stared coldly at Linlang, as if she wanted to stare at a hole in the fire on her. After a while, Hong Aya suddenly laughed again, and her tone was careless: "If I want to let you go, it's easy to say, can you give me a taste of your heart and liver?" ”

Linlang shivered all over, and the red silk was obviously a soft-spoken appearance, which could make people feel a chill. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have no grievances with you, why do you have to put me to death?" ”

Hong Aya frowned, and said softly, "Is there no injustice and no hatred?" I don't think we have a grudge. ”

"I didn't mean to disturb you at that time. Why do you have to be so entangled anymore, not to mention that I don't know you, where does the grievance come from? Linlang was puzzled.

"I'll make you remember me." Hong Aya sneered, took out a hairpin from her cuffs, shook it in front of Linlang, and asked, "Do you recognize it?" ”

Linlang glanced at the hairpin, the material of white jade, bright and clear. There seems to be some pattern engraved on it, but the candle flame is dim, and it is not real. It's just that from that appearance, she hasn't seen it.

Linlang shook his head and said, "I've never seen it, and I don't recognize it." ”

Seeing that she was indifferent to the hairpin, Hong Aya's face finally changed, and she said angrily: "We must have a break today." After speaking, he pounced on Linlang, Linlang screamed in fright, and Zhong Jiu pushed her beside her. Linlang staggered back a few steps, and by the time she stood firm, Zhong Jiu was already in a mess with Hongling.

Linlang found a corner and hid quietly, took out the knife in his arms, and held it in his hand.

Red Aya didn't have a weapon in her hand, just her red shawl, which was nearly five meters long, like a long whip. Even if Zhong Jiu had a long sword in his hand, he couldn't easily get close to her.

It was late at night, and the streets were getting sparsely populated. This street is already depressed, and there is no one at the moment. Zhong Jiu and Hong Aya fought for a long time, but it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

The light wheel in the distance was still emitting a bright light, and Hong Aya actually couldn't hold it anymore, and Zhong Jiu wanted to exhaust her physical strength at all. She gasped for breath, and finally in the final round, she angrily shouted to stop.

She has never been Zhong Jiu's opponent, and if they can fight each other for so long, it is clear that Zhong Jiu is humiliating her. Hong Aya gritted her teeth and glared at Zhong Jiu, panting and said, "How long can you protect her?" ”

Zhong Jiu put away the sword in his hand, raised his head and looked at the bright moon above his head, which seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, and was a little blurry. He looked at it for a long time before saying, "Until I die." ”

Hong Aya smiled dismally: "Zhong Jiu, you are still so stubborn, if she knows the truth of the matter, I don't know if she will receive your affection." ”

"She wouldn't know." Zhong Jiu said with a determined face.

"Zhong Jiu, you are too confident. You probably don't know that before she drank Meng Po soup and was reincarnated, Yejun quietly planted a flower on her chest. Little by little, it is now taking root, and when it fully blooms, she will remember everything she had done before. At that point, she's not something you can protect. Don't forget how ambitious she was in the first place. Do you think that after so many years, she will be able to become a simple and harmless little white rabbit? ”

Zhong Jiu never knew about the other side of the flower, which made him uneasy and frightened. He stepped forward and grabbed Red Aya's throat and asked gloomily, "Where did you learn that?" ”

Hong Aya watched Zhong Jiu finally lose control, and laughed softly, but Zhong Jiu's palm made her suffocate and difficult to breathe, her face turned red, and the words she said were thick and hoarse: "I have my own way, knowing myself and knowing my opponent can make me invincible, isn't it?" What makes me wonder is that you don't know? I advise you to hurry to the underworld and ask the esteemed Lord Shentu, who has always known everything and can do anything. ”

Zhong Jiu let go of his hand, and Hong Aya fell to the ground with a bang, gasping on the ground for a long time. Raising his head again, Zhong Jiu had already strode away from the corner on the side, dragging Linlang with a confused face.
