It was getting dark.

Oil lamps were lit in the earthen house, and Dou Niang and Xu Fu walked out of the back room after dressing up.

If it is a festival, you cannot wear the clothes of ordinary days. Damselfly changed into a new black flower tube skirt, embroidered with colorful flowers and plants, only up to the knees, and black cloth boots were warm and light. She wore a string of silver colored beads around her neck, and two braids tied with velvet flowers hung down to her chest, probably with a little lipstick, and she looked delicate and moving.

Xu Fu also washed his face and changed into a black cloth robe, this robe should be worn very little, and the embroidery color on it was still very new, Tian Fangfang looked at the clothes of the two of them, and asked, "This is the clothes that the auspicious snake will wear?" ”

Dou Niang smiled and nodded: "The snake witch clan respects black, and when the auspicious snake will sacrifice, everyone must wear black robes." She fiddled with the colorful beads she wore around her neck: "I personally string these beads, and rich people wear gems on their chests." ”

Xu Fu took a few lamps behind him and handed them to Tian Fangfang and a few people: "When the auspicious snake will meet, everyone must have a snake lamp in their hands." Immortal elders, take it first. ”

Hairpin Star took the snake lamp and looked at it carefully in front of him.

This lamp is not big, just the size of a juju, it is a lantern sewn with white cloth, I don't know whether it is embroidered or painted on the cloth, it is when they first arrived in Wufan City, the woman they saw at the city gate holding the totem of the double snake, at this moment the lights inside are lit, and the snake shadow on the outer hood cloth is slightly shaking, as if the next moment is about to swim out of the lantern.

"It's not too early." Xu Fu looked at the sky: "Immortal elders, let's go to the Ji Snake Club now." ”

And they all went out of the house together.

In the desert, the day is hot, and at night, when there is no sunlight, it feels cold. A cool dry breeze blows from afar, and warm lanterns hang on both sides of the dirt paths, which are not wide, at the door. The night sky became extremely low, and the silent sky and bright lights divided the world in two, and in the vast desert barrenness, there was a life of people living because of this light.

Dou Niang explained with a smile: "The city is very lively day and night, there are food and drink on the roadside, and there is a lantern festival for juggling, but today the Ji Snake Club, everyone has gone to the Wudanlin Desert, so this place is a little deserted." Let's come out late, and when we get to the Ji Snake Club, you will know how lively it is! ”

When she spoke, she was a little proud and a little proud, as if this auspicious snake would be a great festival.

However, in the hearts of the hairpins, they are not as brisk as her steps at the moment. Now I haven't even seen the holy face of the snake witch clan, who knows if this auspicious snake will be auspicious or vicious.

After walking through the long dirt road, the further I walked, the shadows of the houses were barely visible on the side of the road, and the "road" became more and more wide, almost connecting with the desert in the distance. However, there were gradually more people, and the hairpin had already seen several dressed men and women walking forward with a smile, as if they were really going to catch a rare festival.

After walking for about a stick of incense, the road under their feet was completely gone, if it weren't for Xu Fu and Dou Niang, the hairpins almost thought that they were going to get lost in the desert. However, in the dark desert, some twinkling stars gradually lit up, and those starlights were fiery orange, turning the desert into a noisy place in the cold night.

Dou Niang ran in front, waved her hand vigorously into the distance, turned her head to look at them, and said happily: "It's here, the lucky snake will arrive!" ”

The hairpin stard into the distance, and the starlight became clear.

It turned out not to be starlight, but a burning torch. The larger stars are clustered together as bonfires, and the smaller stars are fires that are planted in the sandy soil to make flowers.

Countless people in costumes gathered in the midst of those torches, singing and dancing enthusiastically. Someone is playing a drum, the drum surface is painted with bright vermilion, and the two sides are finely carved with patterns of birds, beasts, insects and fish. The drum beat is exciting, and a young girl in a long black dress is dancing to the beat of the drum, the girl's gorgeous skirt is huge, and the hundreds of butterflies embroidered on it are lifelike. Every time it rotates, the colorful butterflies on it will shake people's eyes, and every time they wave their arms, the beautiful long hair seems to hook people's souls.

Hairpin muttered, "It's really a dance party......"

It was a little different from what she had in mind.

A black-clothed young man in the distance saw Dou Niang and said with a smile: "Dou Niang, you are late, you have eaten all the roast beef!" ”

Dou Niang pouted at him, turned her head to the hairpin and said, "The immortal elders are hungry, right?" Come and taste the feast of our auspicious snake party! ”

She pulled Tian Fangfang all the way forward, and the hairpin star and the others followed behind, and only halfway through, they smelled the aroma of food wafting from the wind.

There were many long wooden tables in the desert campfire, and the table where the damself took them had not yet been touched. It was actually some melon and fructose cheese, and there was a rich mellow wine, and a calf was roasted on the wooden shelf next to it, and the beef was roasted to a squeaky oil, and the aroma instantly penetrated the tip of everyone's noses. Mendong's stomach made a loud "cooing" sound, and when everyone looked over, the child immediately blushed.

Speaking of which, Hairpin Xing and his party came out of the secret realm of Li'er Country, and so far they have not eaten a drop of rice except for drinking a little water from the Xu family. To say that immortal cultivators have always had a high degree of patience for hunger, when they were in the sect, the disciples had to open the valley at every turn. However, now that they have entered this desert, everyone's Yuan Li has lost a lot, and the Qiankun bag cannot be opened, which is no different from ordinary people, and naturally, the perception of hunger is much more obvious.

"This kind of roast beef, it's hard for me and Daddy to eat it on weekdays." Dou Niang picked up the delicately carved knife next to her, picked the fattest place, cut a piece of beef, put it on the plate, and handed it to Tian Fangfang: "If you don't dislike it, you can taste it." ”

The beef was on the plate, steaming slightly, Tian Fangfang swallowed her saliva and looked at Gu Baiying.

Gu Baiying glanced at the delicacies on the table, and said casually: "Sect disciples, you can't eat mortal food. ”

"Huh?" Dou Niang was surprised for a moment, showing a look of regret: "That's really a pity." ”

Hairpin also felt that it was a pity, this veal looked very tender, smelled very good, and should taste very good, especially when he was hungry at the moment, it was even more delicious. However, this place is strange, and I don't dare to eat the food here, so I have to put my craving for food down for the time being.

Not far away, there were also young men and girls in costumes competing.
