As soon as Wang Xu walked to the door, he saw two new guards outside the door, not squinting, looking intently ahead.

"Did you change shifts?"

Wang Xu asked casually.

The young guard standing on the left was slightly confused, not knowing whether to reply or not.

The older guard on the right seemed to recognize Wang Xu and hugged his fists, "Not long ago, is there something wrong with Young Master Xu?" ”

"No, just ask."

After Wang Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the outer city.

He had nothing to do when he returned to the palace at this time, so he might as well go to the downtown area.

The spring lantern season is the time when the whole Jinbian City has the most people, not only people from the north, but also people from all over the world who come to visit relatives, do business and so on.

If he takes this opportunity and still can't find an ordinary person who can absorb the power of existence, I'm afraid that there is really only one way to take the initiative to find demons.

The streets that used to be wide are now overcrowded.

Rich sons with maids, wealthy ladies with fingers, women with children, and returnees who hurry home are mostly street stalls on the roadside.

Wang Xu strolled, smelling the aroma of soju, fruit, and braised meat from time to time, looking at the passers-by around him, listening to the sound of the piano that he didn't know which one, and suddenly thought that he hadn't remembered the past for a long time, as if he had completely integrated into this mysterious and strange new world.

"Beautifully crafted red lanterns, come and see!"

"Choose the best bamboo and wood, pure handmade, famous craftsmen customized fish and dragon lanterns, this year's hidden dragon in the abyss, next year's dragon soars in the sky!"

"Our store's special marriage lamp, the marriage is determined, the will of heaven is like a lamp, and all wishes come true!"

Wang Xu had just walked to the vicinity of Chunnuan Garden, and was about to go up to drink some wine, when he suddenly found a bunch of vendors next to him vying to sell the lanterns in their hands.

He smiled heartily, which is the same as selling flowers on Valentine's Day and apples at Christmas in his previous life.

Even if it's a different world, some of the reasoning is still the same.

At this time, the moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and only the big red lanterns were lit up with red light, and the ground had just been shoveled with snow, and it was wet, faintly reflecting the light and shadow, creating a red light world.

Wang Xu looked back at the crowded Chun Nuan Garden, it seems that his boss's popularity is indeed good, and he has not been affected by the previous events at all.

He sensed it, frowned, and did not go in again, but continued to walk forward.

From time to time, someone next to him bought a red lantern and held it high to take it back, and the red light reflected on the face had a different kind of beauty.

The more Wang Xu walked inside, there were fewer and fewer people next to him, and the lanterns he sold became more peculiar.

Rabbit lights, palace lights, and red lights in the shape of children are full of eyes, everything.

"Sell lanterns."

"A nice red light."

Wang Xu suddenly found that there was no one else around except for the lantern vendors.

He frowned, and secretly moved the horizontal knife at his waist to a more comfortable position.

Wang Xu looked at the sky, turned around and walked briskly in the opposite direction.

But after walking a few steps, I found that there was a red patch in front of me, and I couldn't see it thoroughly, and I could only see a faint figure flashing.

He stopped, took a deep breath, and paced on.

Tread, step, step.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded nearby.

Wang Xu listened to the voice and silently held his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Brother Xu! Why are you here? ”

A familiar voice came to mind from behind him.

Wang Xu turned his head and saw that it was Cui Xiuyi who he had met in the market before, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead held the handle of the knife tightly a few times, ready to draw the knife at any time.

He replied calmly.

"Feel free to walk around the Spring Lantern Festival. I saw that there were lights for sale here, so I came over and had a look. ”

"Selling lights? Brother Xu, you didn't run in the wrong place. ”

Cui Xiuyi was stunned for a moment, pointed around and said: "How can there be a lamp seller here, there used to be, but a few days ago, a lamp maker accidentally caused a fire, but many people died." ”

"Brother Xu, you're not obsessed.

Cui Xiuyi smiled, "By the way, I have a red light here, if Brother Xu wants it, take it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a red light from behind him and handed it to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu looked at the blood-red face under the red light, groaned for a while, secretly gathered the power of existence in his hand, and took the red lantern.

"Brother Xu, goodbye!" As he took the red light, Cui Xiuyi said another sentence vaguely.

Wang Xu was suddenly startled, there was no one in front of him, and there was no one under the red light.

At this time, the moonlight falls from the sky, and the surrounding area is lit up with a soft fluorescence.

Wang Xu's heart jumped and he looked around.

There are no lantern vendors, surrounded by blackened wood, broken roof beams, and collapsed roofs.

It was pitch black, lifeless, and smelled of burnt.

Wang Xu glanced at the red lantern in his hand again, clenched the horizontal knife tightly, felt the coldness of the weapon, and inexplicably calmed down.

He sighed and pulled his knife out.

The horizontal blade reflected the scene behind Wang Xu by the moonlight.

He watched with his peripheral vision, and walked towards the light in front of him.

One meter, ten meters, fifty meters.

Seeing that he was about to reach the main street, Wang Xu suddenly smashed the red lantern backwards.

"Ah!!!h

He ignored the strange screams that suddenly sounded behind him, and flew straight into the street.

Wang Xu didn't stop, and quickly blended into the crowd with lanterns.

Wow!

When he was illuminated by the red light, he felt like he was jumping out of some deep air, and his body seemed to be much lighter.

Crackling!

Only then did Wang Xu realize that a black gas visible to the naked eye came out of his body, and it dissipated from the top of his head as if he was unwilling.

He just wanted to feel sorry for the existential power he had just expended, but he suddenly found that with the escape of the black qi, the existential power in his body increased rapidly, and in a short time, it doubled several times, and finally approached the amount before cultivating the Mo family's sword technique.

"Whew!"

Wang Xu took a breath and looked happy.

He raised his left hand that had just held the lantern and looked at it, and found that the black qi was the least escaping here.

"Don't you say!"

Wang Xu suddenly looked up at the big red lanterns hanging around him and the red light flashing in the crowd.

He originally thought that this Spring Lantern Festival was just a simple festival, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Wang Xu was pondering when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout.

"Young Master Xu, why are you here?"

Wang Xu looked at it, it turned out to be the previous guard of the Ju family, Lao Guo, who was holding a red light in his hand and looked at him in surprise.

"Aren't you going to talk to the young owner about things again? The talk was over so quickly. ”

Wang Xu knew this person, this old Guo had been working in the Ju family for at least ten years, and he was a thorough old man.

Wang Xu smiled, "It's a little thing." It's Guo Guard, what do you want? ”

"I was about to go home, but I didn't expect to run into you, so I said hello."

Lao Guo's face was happy, and he looked at the red light in his hand gently, "My wife and child suddenly came back from the village, and I have to bring him a lamp." ”

"What's so important about that?"

Wang Xu thought for a moment, and asked pretending to be curious.

"Exquisite?" Lao Guo was stunned for a moment, looked at the lamp in his hand again, and thought for a while, "It seems that there is, the older generation said that the ghosts who died before the Spring Lantern Festival were unwilling, so they wanted to find some people to go on the road together." ”

"And this red lantern contains the lights of thousands of homes, which can drive away ghosts and make them dare not approach the door."

"Hmm......" Wang Xu thought for a while, "Lao Guo, go back quickly, don't let your family wait too long." ”

When Lao Guo heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still said hesitantly, "Young Master Xu, then I'll go back first, I'm in a hurry to change shifts this time, so ...... Please also ........."

Wang Xu smiled slightly, and he understood the reason why Lao Guo greeted him.

The Ju family attaches great importance to the rules, and it is strictly forbidden to change shifts in private like this.

"I'll save it."

He nodded and smiled.

Lao Guo thanked him several times in succession, and then left in a hurry.
