Unlike the bustling Liyue Harbor, at night in a newly built temple, you can only vaguely see two people standing outside the temple looking out at Liyue Harbor, and although the temple is filled with various offerings, there is an indescribable sadness.

"Bronze Sparrow, now that you have the incense offerings of mortals, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the status quo, do you want me to take a wisp of your mana to see the current Liyue Harbor?"

Staring at the dense night lights rising in the sky, it was the Great Demon Sage Xiao who made Hu Tao run away, although Xiao still had no expression on his face at this time, but his tone of voice was much softer.

Thinking about it, now that Yaksha is dead, missing, missing, and missing, now that the state of the bronze sparrow has finally stabilized, Xiao is naturally happy to have an old friend with him.

"Great Sage, I've already made an appointment with that junior named Yanxiao tonight to listen to me tell me some stories about ghosts, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Liyue Harbor with you."

"But when I'm done telling the story for Yanxiao, I think I should be able to go with you to see how Liyue Harbor is thriving today."

As early as a few days ago, Tongque said to Yanxiao, who built a temple for him, that he told Yanxiao a story on the day of the Lantern Festival, although he was only a little fairy, but the promised things Tongque would naturally abide by, so even if Tongque was very interested in Xiao's proposal, it could only be postponed until tomorrow.

Bronze Sparrow's explanation made Xiao nod, Yan Xiao said that he knew that the almond tofu made by the chef of Wangshu Inn was delicious, since Copper Bird had agreed to Yan Xiao, then Xiao naturally would not let Copper Bird miss the appointment, after making an appointment with Copper Bird to meet tomorrow, Xiao left a night lantern and disappeared in front of Copper Bird's temple as a gust of wind.

Although the Bronze Sparrow can survive in this way, the current soul of the Bronze Sparrow is still too weak, and in addition to wanting the Bronze Sparrow to rest, Xiao today has another important thing to do, which is to clean up the monsters near Liyue Harbor.

Lantern Festival is a festival celebrated by mortals, and on this day, Xiao doesn't want to see monsters attacking mortals, even if it's the Millelith Army who was supposed to guard the safety of Liyue Harbor.

In order to let everyone in Liyue Harbor have a wonderful Lantern Festival, Xiao will stay near Liyue Harbor every year during the Lantern Festival, and whenever any monsters come close to Liyue Harbor, Xiao will take action to remove these monsters as soon as possible.

On this year's Lantern Festival, Qiqi suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon on the day of this year's Lantern Festival, where Liyue had such a large population, and people were usually sent to Bubu Lu every day by monsters.

But since he opened Bubu Lu to the present, on the day of the Lantern Festival, he has not received a single person who was injured by a monster attack, which makes Baizhu, who does not know the reason, very confused.

"Changsheng, do you think the reason why no one has been attacked by monsters today is because of those heroic spirits guarding the people of Liyue?"

Unable to figure out why with his normal mind, Baizhu subconsciously leaned his mind in the direction of metaphysics, even though he was a physician, he had seen ghosts and the like everywhere in Liyue's Baizhu medicine, and besides, Qiqiyi was a zombie by his side, and Baizhu believed in the existence of these mysterious things.

The people of Liyue believe that the meaning of the lamp is "to pass on the torch and the virtue will not be extinguished, and it is to believe that the spirit of the hero will be passed on forever like the torch in the lamp, and at the same time illuminate the way forward for the people, and give the warmest light to the people in the darkness with dazzling virtues."

"Therefore, the people of Liyue believe that the lanterns of the Night Sea will guide the souls of the departed heroes back to their hometowns, and that the souls of the heroes who once guarded Liyue can take advantage of the night to follow the "Sky Lantern" to return to their hometowns and reunite with everyone, and return to this old land they love and vow to protect."

"That's how the Lantern Festival came about."

Bai Zhu pondered whether he could see those heroic spirits when he went out now to clean up the monsters, and Ying and Paimon, who were full of wine and food in the Afterlife Hall, were listening to Zhongli slowly talk about the origin of the Lantern Festival, compared to Ruoban's general introduction to the Lantern Festival, the erudite Zhongli spoke in much more detail.

The knowledgeable Zhongli and Paimon learn all about the Lantern Festival, hear about the treatment of Liyue's heroes, and fantasize about being adored by a group of people, Paimon kicks her little short legs in mid-air and shouts that she wants to be a hero too.

"If the hall master remembers correctly, most of the heroes who were commemorated have left this world."

Hu Tao's words directly confused Paimon's words, yes, the heroes of the memorial seem to have left this world, so if she is treated as a hero, wouldn't she have to be dismissed.

"Alright, Walnut, don't scare Paimon, Paimon's guts are smaller than pigeon eggs."

"And with me, this hero can't be Paimon's turn for you, and I'll definitely stand in front of you if there's any danger."

Knowing that Paimon was timid, Ruoban, who took out a lot of night lights from the afterlife hall, also comforted Paimon, and when he saw that Ruoban took out a lot of night lights, Paimon couldn't care about raw walnuts anymore, and his eyes flashed with anticipation as he looked around the night lights placed on the ground.

"Wow, if you forbidden, you got so many night lights, can you give me one?"

"These lanterns are meant for everyone, Paimon can take whichever one you like."

Ruo Ban waved his hand and motioned for Paimon to pick whatever he wanted, these night lights were made by him and Hu Tao, and although they looked a little abstract, they were still no problem flying.

Because he and Hu Tao had already experimented when they were young, and after paying the price of almost setting the afterlife hall on fire, he and Hu Tao had successfully solved the problem of how the night lantern flew.

"Wow, it's good if you are forbidden, unlike Ying, you won't buy me a night lamp."

Paimon cheered and didn't forget to diss Ying, who had already squatted on the god to choose the night light, and the face of the screen who was named and criticized by Paimon turned black, the night light that Paimon liked was priced at 300,000 Mora, she had just bought a tiger fish knife as a spare weapon, and her pocket was cleaner than her face, how could she afford it.

Looking at Paimon, who kept complaining in front of Ruoban, Ying took a deep breath and kept telling herself in her heart that she couldn't beat her children during the Lantern Festival.

Hearing Paimon's accusation against Ying, Ruoban subconsciously glanced at Ying's with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and inadvertently saw Ying's chest rising and falling violently, worried that Paimon would be beaten up tonight, Ruoban hurriedly interrupted Paimon's accusation against Ying.

"Well, it's almost twelve o'clock soon, so let's get the night lantern and prepare to put it first."

In Liyue Harbor, each house has a different time to put the lantern, just like the Carving family used to put the lantern at 8 o'clock, Chongyun's exorcist family always put the lantern at 9 o'clock every time, and the Hall of the Dead is so special that the time of the night lantern is often 12 o'clock.
