The thirtieth day of the lunar month.

During the day, the Crouching Tiger Mountain is being lit up with lights, a festive color. The bandits in the stockade began to hang up under the eaves of various places with red lanterns, which were pasted on every couplet on the door, and they were all handwritten by the three masters Pi Yixia several days in advance.

Lu Cong was wearing a new jacket and new cotton pants made by Wu Niang, holding a windmill from the east in his left hand, and a stack of bright red window flowers in his right hand.

In this way, Lu Cong, who had no hands to spare, ran wildly in the stockade, and the windmill turned around, seeing everyone in the stockade waving their hands to say hello, and driving the window flowers in their hands to rattle. It's only been a few days, but the whole village has made him familiar with it, and he even remembers the name clearly, and his uncle's generation is also very happy with the only child in the village.

When passing by the "School Martial Arts Field", Zhao Qiliang, the sixth master, and Hu Yunfan, the seventh master, were learning martial arts on the field, both of them were shirtless, their bodies were steaming, and the sound of fists and fists was clearly audible. Lu Cong stood on the sidelines, as if he was very interested, watching the two of them go back and forth, and their fists retreated. The two also have a tacit understanding, so far, Hu Yunfan is slender and strong, but not so outward, but when he fights Zhao Qiliang, who is strong and strong, his strength is down, and he is already a little difficult after a few rounds. After dozens of rounds, Hu Yunfan still lost two moves, which was the result of Zhao Qiliang's slight release of water.

When the two of them finished hugging their fists, they saw Lu Cong on the side, and waved his hand to let him come over. Zhao Qiliang scooped it up with one hand, let Lu Cong sit on his neck, and then asked, "Xiao Cong, you see who is the sixth uncle and the seventh uncle!"

Lu Cong tilted his head and thought about it and said, "I think Uncle Seven is amazing!"

When Hu Yunfan heard this, he asked with a smile: "Why!"

Lu Cong replied: "Uncle Seven's boxing is good-looking, unlike Uncle Six, who is stupid in every move. ”

Zhao Qiliang sighed after hearing this, and said to Lu Cong in a sad tone: "Xiao Cong, it seems that in your case, it was your seventh uncle who won me!

Lu Cong immediately replied: "Of course I do, but I also want to learn from Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven's boxing is good-looking!"

Hu Yunfan was overjoyed, and when he saw Lu Cong's hands full, he asked again: "Xiao Cong, what are you doing with so many window flowers?"

Lu Cong shook his hand and said, "Of course I'm going to paste the window grilles! I'm going to put up every window in the village, it's beautiful! Seventh uncle, look!"

Zhao Qiliang and Hu Yunfan glanced at each other, Zhao Qiliang smiled and said to Lu Cong: "Xiao Cong! Didn't Wu Niang tell you that she was a genius to paste window flowers?"

Lu Cong's little face was shocked and said, "Is it tomorrow?" Then I have to send it back quickly, otherwise Wu Niang will be unhappy!" and hurriedly looked at the window flower in his hand to see if it was okay.

"Uncle Six, let me go down!"

"Okay, okay!

Lu Cong hit the ground, and immediately ran towards Wu Niang again, for fear that it would be slow.

Leaving the two men laughing in place.

Underworld.

On Huangquan Road, bullheads and horses walk side by side, checking to see if there are still ghost fires left on the road. It was the king of Hades who had previously ordered the two of them to bring all the ghost fires on the Huangquan Road to Lu Ju, so as not to let the flowers on the other side grow crazy and cause accidents.

Niu Tou turned the emerald green treasure fan in his hand, and said angrily: "Brother, today is the thirtieth month of the human world!

Ma Mian shook the cold iron chain in his hand, took a long breath in both nostrils, and replied: "I don't know! Hades didn't say it, he was finally busy with the affairs of Luoxia Continent, and Hades may not have remembered it for a while!"

The cow's head tilted the cow's neck, pulled off the nose ring, and said with a smile: "The king of Hades is tired enough, and the big head hasn't disappeared yet!

Ma Mian seemed to be indifferent, and replied: "Who knows! Let's just do our own thing, anyway, the king of Hades will do whatever he tells us to do!"

The bull head shook his neck again, "Yes!"

While the two brothers were still searching, a cyan shadow came from a distance and hurried towards the underworld.

The bull head glanced at it, and then said to the horse: "Isn't this Meng Po! When did she go out?"

Ma Mian's two nostrils let out a long breath again, and said with some anger: "I said can you leave other people's affairs alone, and finish our own business first!

Niu Tou smiled and replied, "Okay! Big brother listens to you!"

The two brothers then went back to work.

In the Yama Palace, the king of Hades was sitting on a black wooden smoked copper chair, the bead curtain in front of him was swaying back and forth, the jade belt around his waist was also poked indiscriminately, holding a ghost laughing fruit in his hand, and he kept gnawing on it, and the huge head began to retract to its normal size as if it was deflated at this moment.

Hades was enjoying this moment of tranquility, when suddenly a clear light fell to the ground, and he was about to raise his hand to scold, but Hades hurriedly pointed to his head and said softly: "Grandma, you wait for me for a while!

When the king of Hades sat up straight, put the jade belt around his waist, and brushed the bead curtain in front of his forehead, and was about to speak, Meng Po threw out a black iron sign first, and then scolded: "Okay, you big head! What about you trick me? If you say okay, can you take this sign out? I will be counted down by those two people who watch the door!"

Hades timidly said to himself, "They still dare to count you?"

Meng Po crossed her waist and said angrily, "What did you say?"

Hades hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! I didn't say anything. Then he picked up the black iron brand on the table, brushed it with his hand, and a purple light covered it, and the king of Hades was suspicious, and asked Meng Po: "Have you always carried this brand?"

Meng Po thought for a while and said, "Yes, I've always pinned it to my waist!"

Hades stood up, waved his hand, black and white impermanence appeared, Hades threw the black iron brand to the two, and immediately said: "Quickly go and find out who used this brand to enter and exit the ghost domain!"

"Yes!" the black and white impermanence voice fell and disappeared.

Meng Po saw that Hades began to ponder and touch his beard, and knew that something was quietly happening under Hades' nose, so she had to wait for Hades to clear it first, and she was pacing back and forth in the hall.

Two hours later, the king of Hades still had no clue, and when he looked back, Meng Po under the hall had his eyes full of the fire of the underworld, and he had been staring at himself, and the king of Hades had goosebumps from the bottom to the top, and hurriedly took out a purple ruyi from his arms, and forced a smile: "Meng Po! Don't worry, this king knows that you have to go to the world at this time of year! It's not too early now, you take this, go to the world with the eyes of the world! Remember not to disturb the lion!"

Meng Po snatched the small and delicate purple Ruyi, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving the king of Hades in a cold sweat and slumped back on the black wooden smoked iron chair.

At night, every household in the surrounding towns of Crouching Tiger Mountain is full of joy, after the bullies in the previous towns disappeared in vain, nothing else happened, and the people then returned to their usual days, at this moment every household is preparing to celebrate the New Year, and the town is full of bright red colors, which inadvertently also lights up the dark night sky.

Wohu Town two miles away from the Youmu River, somehow, the river has risen a lot recently, in previous years it was the dry period of the Youmu River, this year is indeed an abnormality, the turbulence in the river is actually worse than the peak water period, so that many people who come to the river to wear clothes and fish are a little afraid, so they have to find another place.

When the moon shone on the mountains, the waves began to surge across the river bank, and Luo Daoren, who had changed into a new jacket, glanced at the river water that spread to his feet, and then looked up at the cold full moon hanging high in the sky, his eyes were filled with the breath of dead silence, and the black and yellow earth dog Xiaohong next to him was still wagging his tail beside Luo Daoren, and he was very happy.

Luo Daoren pinched his fingers, and began to pinch the magic trick in his hand, and a purple light flew up from his hand, and then jumped into the Youmu River. The next moment, the silt at the bottom of the river was surging, and the water was even more turbulent.

When the river water mixed with mud and sand flowed from the giant beasts, the moonlight shrouded the nine giant beasts by the river, and a row of giant beasts suddenly began to roar, and the terrifying sound directly destroyed all the trees on the bank of the river, and even the originally cloudless night sky seemed to have thunder.

Luo Daoren looked at the two golden rays of light in the sky from afar, and suddenly waved his hand, and the giant beast behind him rampage, roaring towards the towns around Crouching Tiger Mountain, leaving countless footprints like deep pits around Luo Daoren.

On Crouching Tiger Mountain, the cook Ah San is leading his apprentices to serve dishes on various round tables in the main hall, except for a few open sentry posts in the village, the rest of the bandits have gathered here.

There were twenty tables in total, ten people at a table, and the main hall was stuffed to the brim, and at the moment all the tables were chatting and laughing, frolicking and joking, and the festive noise seemed to be about to lift the roof of the main hall.

After a while, Dongfang Yu saw that the food on the table was almost ready, so he stood up the steps, coughed twice, and the hall immediately fell silent, Dongfang Yu paused, and said slowly: "Today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, it is the day of reunion! Brothers, this year has been hard! I don't say much, everything is in the wine, come! Brothers toast!

"Dry!" For a while, the sound of arrogance was everywhere, and the bowls of spirits were drunk with their necks up, and even Lu Cong raised an empty bowl and drank it all!

Then the banquet was held, the sound of persuading wine and fists was non-stop, and it was very lively, and the seven masters of the main table were also pushing the cup and changing the lamp, eating vegetables and meat, and they were happy.

When eating the New Year's dinner in Qixing Village, the surrounding Crouching Tiger Town, Jumu Town, Fuxia Town, Huanxi Town, and Xiadi Town were already splashing with fire at this moment, and there were bursts of wailing in the ruins of the broken wall.

The roar of the beast resounded in every town, and the people who were fleeing for their lives shouted in horror, "What kind of monster is this?"

Someone was frightened by the giant beast in front of him, screamed in horror, and said nonsense: "It's the year beast! It's the year beast!" After speaking, he staggered, used his hands and feet together, and hurriedly fled into the distance.

The two golden rays of light in the sky followed the breath of the Nian Beast and flew towards Crouching Tiger Mountain, and then separated two more places above Crouching Tiger Mountain, each walking on one side. One of the golden light fell in Crouching Tiger Town, immediately appeared the law of the world, the Buddha light shines between the heaven and the earth, the people look at it, only to see a solemn and graceful demeanor standing in the sky, wearing a crown, wearing a heavenly robe, the female Bodhisattva with a plain white close-fitting Luo skirt on her waist, stepping on the Nine Treasure Lotus Platform, holding a jade net bottle in her left hand, a branch of emerald green willow branches in the bottle, weeping leaves, and pinching the Buddha seal in her right hand, with thousands of brilliance.

Guanyin Bodhisattva took out the willow branch in the jade net bottle, and pointed a little towards the beast that year, and a drop of nectar in the net bottle fell away, and Guanyin Bodhisattva read in his mouth: "Change!". Immediately, this drop of nectar turned into an invisible gauze net, directly enveloping the year beast that was still raging in the town. For a while, there were countless explosions on the Nian Beast's body, and the Nian Beast's feet were unstable, and then it began to roll on the ground, crushing countless houses, and after a while, it couldn't stop wailing on the ground.

The people on the side hurriedly bowed down when Guanyin Bodhisattva was able to suppress the Nian Beast, and kept chanting: "Bodhisattva manifestation! Bodhisattva bless!"

The mayor of Crouching Tiger Town saw that the year beast was weakened in the explosion, and suddenly shouted in a hurry: "This year beast seems to be afraid of the sound of explosions, everyone will bring firecrackers from home and destroy this year beast with the Bodhisattva!"

"Do we still have firecrackers in our house?"

"Yes, I prepared it a year ago, waiting for tomorrow to go up the mountain to worship the ancestors!"

"Go get it!"

Hearing what the mayor said, the people in the town hurriedly moved out the firecrackers in their homes, and the bolder ones threw them directly to the beast of that year.

Seeing that the Nian Beast still had strength, Guanyin Bodhisattva said angrily: "Evil beast, you still don't subdue the law!"

The surviving people in the town saw the beast disappear, and for a while they wept and cried with the surrounding neighbors, and finally bowed down to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that Crouching Tiger was in trouble, and smiled at everyone who knelt down, turned into a golden light again, and rushed elsewhere!
