Chapter 5 The lights are shining
Night, Castle. The annual lantern festival is once again held.
As a central city on the border, the city itself has its own outstanding in terms of traffic and passenger flow. What's more, when this famous lantern festival is held, the streets are even more crowded. The inns in the city were all booked three months in advance, and the prices were three times as high as usual, or even higher.
In fact, Feng Ren has always been very confused, what is so beautiful about these bells and whistles. In his opinion, it is nothing more than a child's thing. However, with so many people coming in groups, it became a luxury to easily navigate through the crowds.
However, Huo Xiaoxuan, who was following behind Feng Ren, looked relaxed. She was holding a lot of snacks and eating them as she walked, and she was very happy. With the tenacity to help clear the way, she just needs to follow the back without any problems.
"Get out of the way. Give way to our young master!"
A horse-drawn carriage stuck in the crowd struggled to move an inch, and the driver kept waving a long whip in his hand in an attempt to drive away the surrounding tourists.
"It seems that there are so many brainless people in the world. Feng Ren smiled secretly. In such a crowded environment, driving a carriage is obviously slower than walking!
"Hmm, that's?" Huo Xiaoxuan was also attracted by the shouting of the driver, but the first thing she saw was a special sign on the wall of the carriage, a plane tree with lush leaves.
Inside the carriage, a young man in a gorgeous robe hugged two women with charming faces left and right, and said impatiently to the two people in front of him, "What are you doing? Hurry up, get out of the way of those untouchables!"
The two subordinates reluctantly agreed, although in their eyes they despised this young master who didn't know what he was thinking in his head, but he couldn't help but bow his head under the eaves of people. After all, this is the only son of the city lord, and he is used to everything, and his notoriety has long been known in the city. But fortunately, although his father has bad deeds, he can barely be regarded as a good official, and for the sake of the face and status of the city lord, the masses have caused a very fierce reaction.
However, how can you get out of the way of the crowd now? However, one of the subordinates suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he stepped forward and said in a low compliment, "Young Master." The reason why the untouchables refused to give way must have been that they did not notice your coming, otherwise who would dare to do so, as long as you go out and raise your arms, and make sure that you will obediently give up a road that is passable in your prestige. ”
"But didn't I say this time that I should keep a low profile, otherwise how could I meet the little jasper?" The young master smiled evilly, as obscene as he wanted. And the two women he hugged didn't react, they must have been used to it for a long time.
"But if it's any later, I'm afraid all the beauties will be famous. The subordinate already had a black line on his face, and now he was only thinking about passing this level for the time being. As for whether the young master can meet the beautiful woman, that is something to think about later. This young master's moodiness is known to everyone in the mansion.
"It's so troublesome, wait for me. The young master instructed the two women beside him. Then he stood up and got out of the car door.
Seeing the almost endless crowd at a glance, the young master was obviously startled. In his impression, how could there have been so many people before?
However, his name is really useful, and after three consecutive shouts, sure enough, the crowd around him quickly dispersed and quickly approached the other side. A road large enough for a carriage soon appeared in front of us.
"Who is this, so appealing?" Feng Ren didn't know the secret.
"He's a well-known gentleman in the city. If it weren't for his father's sake, he wouldn't have known how many times he would have died!" Huo Xiaoxuan bit off the last rock sugar gourd on the bamboo skewer and said angrily.
Throwing away the bamboo skewers with a string of red sugar residue in his hand, Huo Xiaoxuan wiped his small mouth, stretched out a somewhat slimy little hand to hold Feng Ren's arm and smiled: "But this kid has helped us open a way, just keep up." The biggest lantern is about to be lit. It is said that making a wish there can be a dream come true. ”
Make a wish, make a dream come true, Feng Ren's mind reappeared in the night when it was raining meteor shower half a year ago, and his eyelids couldn't help but jump a few times.
It is indeed much more convenient to follow the carriage all the way forward, is this also the benefit of power? But when he looked up, he saw dozens of figures walking through the rooftops. If their strength was still three months ago, they could also avoid this crowded crowd like them and walk on the wall. However, whether this time is a blessing or a curse, it is still unclear.
"That's right, little wind tough. I think there's a fortune teller around here, and it's pretty accurate. And the promise can wait until the time of verification before paying. When Huo Xiaoxuan was about to walk to the center of the lantern festival, he suddenly shook his head left and right to look for it.
"There, come on!" Suddenly, Huo Xiaoxuan found the target and dragged Feng Ren to trot.
"Slow down!" Feng Ren screamed, he was almost dragged to the ground by Huo Xiaoxuan and rubbed all the way.
A very ordinary fortune-telling stall, with a bamboo stick on the table, a pair of gossip diagrams, and an old man in a Taoist robe sitting there waiting for customers to come to the door.
In Feng Ren's impression, this kind of person is basically a charlatan. In his opinion, what Huo Xiaoxuan said was very accurate, and I am afraid it was just a trick to coax children. With her coarse brain, it's normal to be deceived.
"Blind grandpa, I'm here again. This is the money from last time. Huo Xiaoxuan greeted the old man with his eyes closed, and at the same time gently placed a silver coin on the table.
The old fortune teller nodded and said with a smile: "I already knew that you would come today, so let me see the person you brought." The old rule, verify before paying. ”
"What did you calculate last time?" asked Feng Ren curiously.
Huo Xiaoxuan smiled: "Confidential." ”
Seeing that the fortune teller had already stretched out his hand, Feng Ren handed his palm forward with the mentality of trying it out.
The old man carefully stroked the wind toughness of the palm prints, making him feel a slight itch. After a while, the old man let go of his hand, shook his head and said, "It's strange, the old man has been dividing fortunes for decades, and it is the first time he has seen such a strange palmistry." ”
Blow, blow, blow. The more mysterious it is, the more money you can cheat. Wind Ren laughed secretly.
"Forget it, this son's numerology is too bizarre, and the old man is short-sighted, so he can only barely distinguish one or two, and only vaguely sixteen words. This hexagram is considered to be a gift for you. The old man touched his beard, which was not long, and said.
"The dragon lurks in the abyss, and the blessings and misfortunes are unknown. The future is bumpy, and fate is reincarnated. After the old man finished saying these sixteen words, he suddenly fell back and leaned back in his chair as if his strength had been exhausted, looking very tired.
"What's it, I don't understand. Forget it, the main lantern is about to be lit, let's go. Huo Xiaoxuan obviously couldn't hear the meaning of the sixteen characters, and when he saw that the old man had no follow-up, he couldn't wait to pull Feng Ren, who was still in contemplation, towards the center of the venue.
What did he know? Feng Ren was extremely shocked in his heart. The first eight words are not wrong at all, they are his current situation. Then, presumably this person is not talking nonsense, but can really get a glimpse of the heavens. So what does the latter mean? The future is bumpy, and it is easy to understand that the road you face after that is destined to be full of hardships. But what is the reincarnation of fate?
Suddenly, Feng Ren remembered that in the broken sentences that Brother Wudao had said when he recalled at the beginning, there were also four words of fate and reincarnation. Moreover, when the patriarch finally handed over the jade pendant to himself, he also said that he would complete the fate that was already doomed in reincarnation......
After the wind tenacity was gone, the fortune teller's eyes opened slightly, his eyes were very clear and bright, he was not blind!
Looking at the figure of Feng Ren gradually disappearing into the crowd, the old man smiled: "Young man, the fate that has gone through three thousand years of reincarnation will come again. When the Nightmare Gate opens, I don't know if you can really take on this predestined responsibility. But then again, how can there be such a weak person among the seven candidates determined by fate this time, who is only nineteen years old and has a martial arts rank four?"
In the center of the venue, Feng Ren looked at the huge lantern and was not interested, while Huo Xiaoxuan on the side was excited.
On the way around, a woman in white caught the attention of Feng Ren.
At the same time, the jade pendant on his neck, which he had been hanging quietly, began to tremble violently.
