Part 1 Condensation Transformation Chapter 64 Lantern Festival
The tables, chairs, beds and stools on the ship should be fully furnished, and the wine, meat, fruits, vegetables, tea, sugar, pastries are prepared, and there is a large jar of Longwang Haiyan soup.
Riyun Xiule said: "The old man's county order is not bad, and he sends a boat and food." ”
Li Bo said: "It's really thoughtful, maybe it's Master Bao's idea." ”
The three of them lifted the big table to the boat board outside, set up a banquet in the wind, and watched the scenery of the idyllic mountain village on the riverbank.
Ri Yunxiu said: "Brother Tian Shu, you are really the son of the Northwest General? I thought I had tricked them to play before." ”
"I'm thin-skinned, how can I have such a high level of deception, unlike some people. ”
"In that case, why don't we stop by Linjian City and come to your house to play for a few days?" Ri Yunxiu couldn't hear his sarcastic language, grabbed a piece of pine cake and filled it in his mouth, and muttered.
"If you don't go, I'll send you home first. ”
"What's the hurry, you want to get rid of me as soon as possible?"
"Why!"
"It's not a good way to go to Linjian Castle. Ling Hanmian was already half-full, and interjected: "With our itinerary, if we go all the way east, we will probably be able to enter the boundary of Xianlai County tomorrow afternoon." If you go to Linjian Castle, you can get ......"
"Who asked you to come!There are so many delicious foods that you can't keep your mouth shut!" Ri Yunxiu turned her head to glare at him angrily, and suddenly poked a freshly peeled piece of sugar cane into his mouth.
"Hmm......" There was no warning at this time, Ling Hanmian connected his hands randomly, and retreated in panic, if he hadn't been pulled by Li Bo, he would have fallen down on his back.
Riyunxiu slapped the table and laughed, "Tell you to be nosy!"
"Xiu'er, don't bully people!" Li Bo snorted and hurriedly wiped Ling Hanmian, "Brother Ling, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Ling Hanmian had a hearty temperament, swallowed the sugarcane in a few bites, chewed it carefully, and thanked Ri Yunxiu, "Thank you Mrs. Tian for the reward." Wow! Peeled off by the hands of beautiful women, it really has a different taste. ”
"You love to eat, don't you? Okay, then I'll reward you with another one. Ri Yunxiu smiled and pulled out a sugar cane, and wanted to repeat the old trick.
"Xiu'er, that's enough! I'm really angry if I make it again. Li Bo stopped her and changed the subject: "Is Brother Ling very familiar with the geography of the Great Xia Empire?"
"That's it. Ling Hanmian held his head high and said proudly: "It's not just my country. From the north to the North Plains, from the south to the south, from the West Regions to the East China Sea, and even to the Luosang Kingdom, any history, human and geographical history, Tian Gongzi asked casually. "There's nothing I don't know. The latter sentence is not said, but the implication is obvious.
Ling Hanmian has a very different personality from Wu Nian's taciturn personality, he loves to talk, brag, and joke. After drinking more than a dozen glasses in a row, his eyes were a little ethereal, and his mouth was like a river, his tongue was full of lotus flowers, unstoppable, and he didn't care if the river wind blew his hat crookedly. He claimed to be "learning words at the age of three, writing poems at the age of five, writing articles at the age of seven, and showing talent at the age of ten." Well-read, all-encompassing, knowing astronomy, knowing geography, knowing personnel, knowing five hundred years before and five hundred years after knowing five hundred years, medicine, Xingxiang, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, three teachings and nine streams, all in the palm of your hand. ”
Li Bo laughed secretly, but he also admired him for his extensive knowledge and told a lot of novel and interesting stories, which amused Riyunxiu a lot.
"Did you really get into the show at the age of ten?" she asked curiously.
"Of course!"
"What about lifting people?"
"Fifteen. ”
"Where's the champion?"
"Alas!"
Ling Hanmian was like a deflated ball, he looked sad, drank the wine in his glass, slammed his skull on the table, and only looked up after a few seconds, and sighed: "Bad luck, creation makes people!"
"That's why you didn't get in!" Ri Yunxiu grinned and said, "Then you are still bragging!
Li Bo said: "The exam is really a matter of luck, but Brother Ling seems to be too memorized, and he can't do it in ten years!"
Ling Hanmian sighed, wanted to cry without tears, and slammed the table with his right fist, "If I lose again this time, I will really have no shame to see my hometown fathers! I won't go home, I will jump directly into the Shenlong River and settle quietly." ”
"Don't!" Li Bo knew his mood too well, there were several repeaters in the class, and the look and emotion were exactly the same. "Brother Ling, don't be discouraged, maybe this time it will be running, and the title of the gold list will be!"
Ling Hanmian raised his head and toasted again, "Then borrow Tian Gongzi's auspicious words." ”
After the big ship sailed out of the boundary of Benlei City, it entered the wide and stable river, and the east wind blew, and the ship moved quickly.
Li Bo reorganized the cups and plates and invited the two boatmen to the table, first, to treat, and secondly, to dilute Ling Hanmian's melancholy mood. Wine and food, admire the moon and listen to the wind, and play until late.
When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon, and the boatman shouted that he would arrive soon, and after a while, he docked at the western port of Fengle City, Xianlai County, and the two boatmen completed their tasks and returned home, and Li Bo asked them to thank Wu Xianling and others on their behalf.
Fengle City is located at the junction of Jinyun County, Yangwu County and Xianlai County, and is an important town and economic hub of water and land transportation in the central and western parts of Daxia.
After entering the city, you can see that the market is prosperous and popular. Ling Hanmian took the two of them straight to what he had said before, the "excellent restaurant" - Huang'en Haodang Building, which was the most lively place in the west of the city.
The restaurant is really excellent, elegant, attentive service, and a sense of home. The money that the two of them snatched from Qian Million had already been spent, and Wu County's order sent another 13 was not embarrassed to ask for it, and at this time, the bag was empty, so naturally it was all paid by Ling Hanmian.
Playing until the evening, he stayed at the inn outside the restaurant, Li Bo still lived in a room with Ri Yunxiu, it seemed to have become a habit, and he only regarded her as a sister in his heart, and his lust was diluted a lot. Riyunxiu is muddy, innocent and simple, and naturally has no evil thoughts.
As soon as I settled down, I suddenly heard a "bang" outside.
"What's wrong?" both of them squeezed to the window at the same time.
It turned out that there was a cannon fight, and there was a carnival in the streets. The sound of salutes, gongs and drums, countless lanterns are as dense as stars, and all the people are pouring out, and the traffic is busy.
"Tian Gongzi, Mrs. Tian, are you there?" Ling Hanmian knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Bo as he opened the door.
"We are just in time, these days happen to be the Lantern Festival in Lecheng. Once a year, you can't help but have a late-night supper, don't miss it! The days are short and the nights are long, why not travel with candles!" Ling Hanmian was excited and took the lead.
The three of them went down to the front of the restaurant, only to see all kinds of lights passing by one after another, lion hydrangea, fire dragon golden phoenix, koi butterfly, and a thousand strange character costumes, colorful, noisy, dizzying. The people of the whole city are mixed in, crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and backs, and even the young women and ladies in the boudoir who were closed in the past have also changed into holiday dresses, emerald goldfinch, red and willow green, and add a beautiful scenery. The white moon hangs on the willow tops, and it seems that she also wants to come to the world to have fun, but it is not as concerned as in the past, and can only become the embellishment of this noisy festival.
Li Bo was infected with the festive atmosphere, looked at Ri Yunxiu and laughed, and squeezed in hand in hand.
The lights of several streets all gathered in front of the high-rise archway in the center of the city, where a mountain had already been erected. Many officials sat at the top of the building, chatting and laughing and admiring the lanterns, and in the middle there was a man in a yellow robe with a noble temperament who frequently waved to the people below.
Li Bo pointed to the point and asked, "Is that the emperor?"
Ling Hanmian put his hand on the pergola to carefully identify it, shook his head and said, "Definitely." If Xiaosheng remembers correctly, it should be the emperor's fourth brother, Youwang Luoqiao, who came to have fun with the people on behalf of His Majesty. ”
When the lantern team was almost assembled, Luo Qiao spoke loudly from a high place, which was nothing more than His Majesty's words of praise and whitewashing of the peace. After that, the teams of villages and towns around Fengle City staged acrobatic singing and dancing programs, taking turns on the stage, which was wonderful.
The three of them played until midnight before they reluctantly returned to their residence, and Ri Yunxiu fell asleep, but he stretched out his legs and crossed the bed domineeringly. After Li Bo finished sorting out her belongings, she called a few times and didn't agree, so she took off her shoes, and her starry embroidered blue socks kicked her little feet hard, grunting twice like a pig, turning over and continuing to sleep.
Li Bo shook his head and chuckled, he couldn't bear to disturb, so he had to cover her with a blanket and sit on the opposite bench to practice.
The lights were still bright outside, and songs and laughter were coming into the building from time to time, but as long as he concentrated and calmed down, his consciousness quickly entered a state of emptiness.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the heaven and earth essence qi within a radius of forty or fifty meters is gathered around him, taking on the spiral shape of a Taiji Yin Yang Fish, which is just the automatic absorption ability of the Na Yuan Demon Suppression Gong Heaven Stealing Mystery. Li Bo exercised according to the mantra passed on by Rixingtian, and the Taiji Yin and Yang Fish rotated and accelerated, and the density and scope of essence energy were greatly increased.
All the energy circulates between the two qi veins of Qiankun, converts into the true qi of the body, and finally collects it into the sea of qi, and the condensation is completed. The outer layer of the lower dantian is inlaid with five gold patterns, representing the fifth layer of the initial stage of Ning Dan.
In just about ten days, two more floors have been raised!
If the boiled stone is known with the wind, it will definitely be a big surprise.
Since Li Bo met Ri Yunxiu, she is a girl Ri Yunxiu, not an old woman, and she is indispensable to be playful and impetuous, not as concentrated on practicing as when she first arrived at Muyunguan. Even so, the mystery of stealing the sky will be automatically promoted 24 hours a day, and you can't be slow if you want to!
Another big help is the magic sword.
A small part of the heaven and earth energy absorbed by Li Bo when he practiced was absorbed by the magic sword's Xuanxi Qi vein, which was already to minimize the loss, but it could not be completely avoided, after all, it was necessary to use its power, which could be regarded as a little compensation.
At this moment, the magic sword was parked in the northeast corner of the room, the gen, the bloody eyes flickered in the darkness, and the golden pupils looked at Li Bo, as if to tell about dissatisfaction.
Ri Xingtian only mentioned in the exercises that the soul of the demon king was hidden in the sword, but what kind of demon king he was and how strong his strength was, he did not explain, and he may not even know it.
Li Bo was secretly worried: Judging from the previous battles, holding the magic sword, it was not too difficult to fight against an enemy who was a large section higher, and it would definitely be crushed in the face of the same level. If the magic sword is so powerful, what kind of power is the demon king inside? If it is really resurrected, who can stop it? What should I do?
Roar! Kill!
The sudden chaotic shouts outside interrupted his thoughts and cultivation, and Li Bo had a bad premonition, so he got up and went to the window to check.
But it was not a lantern fire, but a real fire mixed with billowing smoke.
Someone attacked the city at night!
