Chapter 9: The Feast of the Moon of Bliss

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the pure white marble platform, reflecting a strange brilliance, turning the huge square into a fantasy world. If you look closely, the towering stone platform is inlaid with gems of various colors, as vast as a sea of stars, and like the reflection of the Milky Way in the moonlight.

The viewing platform around the moon worship platform is crowded at this time, and there are two golden seats on the middle stand, which are dazzling, and there is a circle of chairs on both sides of the golden seat, which are empty at this time.

There were several rows of soldiers in armor standing on the periphery of the square, with Xijing warriors in black armor on the outside, and guards in the underworld in silver armor in the middle.

"Don't say anything when you go in later, and if someone asks you, you'll say it's a new cook. Aunt Luo and Fu Li pushed a dining cart full of delicacies and followed behind the cooks. "Pull your hat down and don't show your hair. ”

Fu Li obediently pulled his hat, his silver hair was indeed a bit eye-catching.

Fu Li followed the cooks of Ruyi Building to blend in easily, and it was not as difficult as he imagined.

When he passed by the viewing platform just now, Fu Li deliberately glanced at the two empty golden seats, and those who were qualified to sit there were no one else except for the Xijing City Lord and the Night Emperor's envoy, but what made him care more was not the golden seat, but the rest of the guests present.

"When you wait for the end of the Bliss Moon Banquet later, you should be able to see the landlord, although I have been working in Ruyi Building for decades, I really haven't seen him a few times, and several times I have seen him from afar on this occasion, he always wears a black feather weave, black veil covers his face, and he has never even seen his appearance. Aunt Luo was chatting with Fu Li while putting the delicacies on the dining car.

"Aunt Luo, where did those silver-armored soldiers come from, I haven't seen them before. ”

Fu Li's eyes looked around, and he always felt that something was strange.

"These are the guards of the underworld, brought by the envoy of the Night Emperor from the Xudu," Aunt Luo raised her eyes and glanced at the still empty golden seat from a distance. "I heard that the envoy this time is the third prince, that guy is not a good stubble, he once made trouble in our Ruyi Building, and in the end it was the landlord who came forward to settle it. ”

Aunt Luo was stupid, so she didn't let him help, he had to wait and see bored in the background, there were more and more people in the stands, most of them were powerful and gentry, they drank and talked, and they looked depressed, and soon, Fu Li found that something was wrong.

"Aunt Luo, don't you invite generals to the Bliss Moon Banquet? ”

Hearing Fu Li's question, Aunt Luo was stunned at first, then looked around, and suddenly looked dazed.

"Yes, why didn't any generals come this time, it stands to reason that all the civil and military officials were present at the Bliss Moon Banquet. ”

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Before Fu Li could think about it, his scalp was tingling with the loud and dull sound of drums, and then a series of brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed around the moon platform.

"Here we go. ”

A smile appeared on Aunt Liu's face, this was the climax of the festival that the people of the Eternal Night were most looking forward toβ€”the Feast of the Moon.

"Please be seatedβ€”"

The low, serious voice echoed in the vast square as long as a chant. As the sound sounded, a group of Xuanyao suddenly appeared above the moon worship platform, circled for a few weeks, and then landed on the viewing platform in the center, and those who came down from the Xuanyao sat down on the chairs on both sides of the golden throne, and one of them was really wearing a feather weaving.

"Is that the owner of the Ruyi Building? ”

Fu Li's eyes were all focused on the man in the black feather weave, and he saw that he was covered in a black veil, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"It's him, he won't fail to come on such occasions. ”

Aunt Luo followed Fu Li's gaze and looked over, it was the mysterious person wearing feather weaving.

Just as he was looking at it, the distant voice sounded again.

"Respectfully invite the Lord of Xijing City-Respectfully invite the envoy of the Night Emperor-"

Before the words fell, two "pure gold" birds covered with gold ornaments appeared on the moon platform, and they also circled for a few weeks and landed in front of the two golden thrones under the gaze of everyone.

The people who came down from the golden bird, one was a middle-aged man wearing a white dragon and a black robe, and the other was a young man wearing a black dragon and white robe.

From the moment the black-robed middle-aged man appeared, Fu Li's hand kept trembling, the lord of Xijing City, Ye Wushuang, the initiator of the ink poison experiment, Fu Li could never forget the face he saw from the cage, the one-eyed man was more evil than the real demon.

By the time everyone was seated, the loud trumpets replaced the heavy drumbeats, and the fireworks became more brilliant. I saw the soldiers at the entrance of the moon worship platform give way to the sides, and the float slowly drove in amid the shouts of the nobles on the viewing platform.

"Oiran! Oiran!"

The nobles on the viewing platform were unleashing their instincts at the moment, and waves of sound echoed in the square. Although the women on the floats have undergone rigorous training, they can hardly hide their fear in the face of such an unprecedented scene, not to mention, they are about to be the most important "commodity" of this feast of the Moon of Bliss.

Every time one or two floats entered, there would be a burst of cheers on the viewing platform, except for the last float that was surprisingly quiet when it entered.

When their eyes fell on the girl, it was as if time had been frozen and they forgot to scream.

"Who is that little girl? and such a handsome beauty in the eternal night?"

"It's the chick that Ruyi Lou bought at a high price a few days ago, I heard that it's not a mortal. ”

Everywhere the girl goes, she will cause a burst of criticism, and her appearance is indeed too outstanding, so that people look like a goddess descending from the earth at a glance.

At this time, Fu Li looked at the white moon in the sky thoughtfully, and he deliberately didn't look at the girl when the float entered, he didn't know what happened recently, and he was actually upset for an irrelevant person. He never felt that he was a kind person, and he never wanted to intersect with anyone, and all his tenderness was left to the small village in the Huangquan Mountain, which was the only faith he lived in the world......

When the last float drove into the square, the soldiers again drained the water around the platform. More than a dozen floats surrounded the moon platform in the center, as if waiting for something, and suddenly, the distant voice sounded out of nowhere.

"Blissful Moon Feast-Oiran Final-Open-"
