Yanzhou Mansion is the largest city in the north, and the temple fair is naturally the best and most lively nearby.

Ling Rong was an idle person, and when she arrived near the street where the temple fair was located, she jumped up and down like a live rabbit.

She has been in the mortal world for a long time, but she seems to feel very new when she sees everything. After a while, he had already run away by himself, and he didn't know where he was going to watch the play in a crowded place.

Xie Yuci did not restrain her, but Wanqing always followed Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan diligently, and never stayed away.

"It's rare to come out once, you can go play too, leave us alone."

Xie Yuci turned to Wanqing and said.

Late youth wanted to speak and stopped.

She first looked at him, and then at Zhuo Qingtan, who had been smiling at the corners of her mouth and was carefully observing the night scene of lanterns connected to her like a sea of lights.

But in the end, Wanqing still didn't say anything, just gave a salute and said:

"Yes, Lord, then I'll go to Lingrong first, she has a good temperament, don't cause any trouble."

Xie Yuci nodded.

When Zhuo Qingtan heard the movement, he also turned his head with a light smile, bowed his head slightly, and gestured to Wanqing.

So, they went their separate ways and played separately.

Wanqing went to look for Lingrong, while Xie Yuci took Zhuo Qingtan to watch the lights on the riverside.

On the night of the Moon Festival, the banks of the Yanzhou River were really crowded with people, and people were crowded with people.

Most of the big families in the city traveled in horse-drawn carriages and accompanied by attendants, occupying half of the road.

At this time, in the city of Yanzhou, the shouts of the guards of large families and small houses, the shouts of small merchants and hawkers, and the noisy cries of children playing on the street are endless, with ups and downs.

Although the sound on the street is very noisy, there is a rare warmth of human fireworks.

Zhuo Qingtan's consistently cold eyebrows and eyes were illuminated by the bright yellow lanterns on the riverside, as if the whole person seemed a little more gentle and affectionate.

She is a disciple of Xianmen, in fact, she is used to showing her head on weekdays, so she has never covered her face with a mask and veil like those rich and noble ladies on the street.

However, the clothes and heads of her body are very elegant, each of which was specially prepared by Xie Yu's resignation, and each piece was made of exquisite and luxurious materials.

And the silent mutual thanks with her is also a very noble Xuanyi inlaid with gold thread, with a high-spirited and extraordinary temperament.

Therefore, Zhuo Qingtan has never covered his head and face like the ladies of a big family, and he has never had the audacity to step forward and offend him.

There seemed to be a special aura around the two of them, and others unconsciously retreated and avoided them.

Passers-by did not dare to climb and crowd them, and even subconsciously looked back and quietly glanced at them when passing by.

Perhaps there were more people staring at them like this, Xie Yuci couldn't help but laugh in a low voice and teased:

"Zhuo Qingtan, walking with you is really eye-catching. You see, everybody passes by us and they have to look back at you. ”

Zhuo Qingtan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

She subconsciously looked around, but after a moment, she suddenly shook her head and smiled.

"No, that's not interesting. Thank you, it's clear that these girls are looking back at you. ”

Xie Yuci shook his head slightly and laughed in a low voice.

"Oh? Is it? But how can I look at you? Speaking of which, our Zhuo Immortal Chief is an immortal disciple who will not be a demon destroyer for a day, and he will not die of hunger if he thinks about it. ”

Zhuo Qingtan turned his head to look at him.

"If I don't become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, then what can I do?"

Xie Yuci said seriously: "Naturally, I am a 'fairy in the painting'." ”

Zhuo Qingtan chuckled, and immediately shook his head.

"Xie Yuci, did you say that you are used to talking nonsense, very flamboyant?"

Xie Yuci pretended to be serious and thoughtful, he thought about it, and then said with a smile: "This is really nothing." But many people say that I'm good at everything, but I'm too honest and just like to tell the truth. ”

Zhuo Qingtan glanced at him with a smile and slowly paced forward.

Didn't you? He's just tricking her into "forgetting" now.

But she remembered it truly, 10,000 years ago, when Zhuo Qingtan was still the ancient god Taiyin Youying who had never differentiated gender, she often said that this guy was flamboyant.

Over the years, he has experienced a lot of hardship, and so has she.

It's just that she deeply feels that she is no longer the carefree and desireless god on the coast of the East China Sea back then. But Xie Yuci seems to be the same as before, and there has been no major change.

Zhuo Qingtan nodded with a light smile and agreed.

"Oh, is it? Then you really are an 'honest man' who does your duty. ”

Xie Yuci sighed, and he raised his eyebrows.

"Listening to this, why do I feel a little awkward that I can't say?"

Zhuo Qingtan's eyebrows rolled, and he glanced at him with a smile. Then he coughed lightly twice, shook his head, and walked forward.

They enjoyed all the lanterns along the way, and before they knew it, they had reached the bank of the river.

Under the cold moonlight, countless local boys and women in Yanzhou came out to play.

They hold all kinds of lanterns in their hands to place their heart's thoughts and wishes, put them into the flowing water by the river, and then close their eyes and pray to the moon sincerely.

Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan approached the riverside, and just saw a young girl who had just let go of the river lantern in her hand, and then closed her eyes and prayed sincerely:

"The letter girl Liu, today I would like to send my heart's prayers to the 'River Star', and only hope that the 'River Star' will flow to the Tianhe River as scheduled. Please ask the moon god mother to personally believe in the female 'river star', bless Yulang next year's scientific examination gold list title, and welcome me to the entrance as soon as possible. ”

The lanterns banished in the river are also known as "river stars", which means "stars in the river".

Mortals place their thoughts and wishes on this, hoping that their wishes can flow along the river to the heavenly river of the Nine Heavens.

If you are lucky enough to be picked up by the gods in the sky, maybe you can get your wish and be blessed by the gods.

Of course, the rivers of the mortal world will never flow into the heavenly rivers, and no immortal gods will really pick up their "river stars".

How can mortals themselves not know?

It's just that during the moon worship festival on August 15, most mortals still have to worship the moon god.

However, they didn't know that there was never a "Moon God Niang" in these Nine Heavens.

- The only god related to the "moon" is the true body of the Ninefold Heavenly Saint Emperor Taiyin Youying.

But now, the Holy Emperor has been lost for nearly 10,000 years, and who can they say to them about the various things they pray for the moon year after year?

The girl Liu closed her eyes and muttered quietly, her young and beautiful face full of infinite anticipation and tenderness.

She looks forward to Lang Jun's imperial examination for high school, and even more looks forward to being with you, loving forever, growing old together, and living up to the deep friendship when she was a teenager.

It's just that she doesn't know that everything changes, people's hearts are changeable, and the gods are still fateful, and it is difficult to find eternity in the world.

Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan didn't know why, but at this time Gu was quiet and silent.

They listened carefully to the prayers and prayers around them, whether they were pious, worried, or anxious, and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility seemed to dissipate in vain.

After a moment, Xie Yu smiled meaninglessly.

"Sometimes I envy them, because I don't know anything, so I always have expectations, always have secret expectations, and when fate is unbearable, I still have a belief that there will be gods to help. It is also good to be ignorant and fearless. ”

Zhuo Qingtan quietly turned his head to look at him, and suddenly said very lightly:

Actually, they are not ignorant, nor are they pinning their faith and hope entirely on the so-called heavenly gods.

Whether it's moon worship or godliness, all they ask for is peace of mind, they know what they're doing and what they want. ”

She looked at the bustling crowd with warm eyes, and said with a light smile: "Some immortals or spirits may feel that mortals are very weak and incompetent.

But I feel that although they have struggled in the mortal world and experienced six desires, seven emotions, six delusions and eight sufferings, they have never given up what they love in their hearts, and they have done their best to live this life, which is not a kind of strength. ”

Xie Yuci shook his head, smiled as if he didn't have anything, and said slowly:

"Really? However, the people who have never given up on the love they miss in their hearts are only a few after all. The front of the flower is full of infatuation songs, and the red dust is full of negative people. But there are many more wicked people in this world than good ones. ”

Zhuo Qingtan looked back at him quietly for a moment, and he also looked at her frankly.

At that moment, the two of them had many words in their hearts that were unhappy, but for some reason, they never said another word.

Xu is the moonlight is too gentle, and no one wants to destroy this rare warmth first.
