51_51089 The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

The Lantern Festival is very lively.

Meng Shuai couldn't have imagined that the northern world could make up so many people, and there were so many people here that he reminded him of the tourist attractions of the holiday in his previous life.

Moreover, if it is beautifully arranged and brilliantly lit, it is not inferior to the neon lights in the metropolis of the previous life.

The Chinese New Year's Eve in the northern world is often long and the days are short, and even more so near the end of the year, when the sky is dark and the lights are on. Trees, walls, and open spaces were full of lights. The northern world has more distinctive ice lanterns and snow lanterns, the highest ice lanterns are dozens of zhang high, and hundreds of lights are lit on them, looking from a distance, it looks like a skyscraper full of lights.

In addition to the lights, there are snacks and lantern riddles. The lanterns are full of riddle bars under the lanterns, and you can win the prize if you guess correctly. There are one after another food stalls on the street, the price is incredible, and a copper plate can eat a big bowl of spicy mutton soup, all of which are subsidized by Daxue Mountain Villa.

Meng Shuai has a fast brain, and he was also a little expert in guessing riddles in school back then, and he also added a lot of IQ when he came to this world, so he was easy at guessing lantern riddles, eating all the way along the street, guessing all the way, and winning prizes all the way. If it hadn't happened to meet the crested stork who rushed to the venue, it would have almost delayed the meeting.

Crested storks did not come alone, there was another girl beside him, who was in her teenage years, although she was not as handsome as the crested stork, but she was also beautiful and moving.

Meng Shuai hurriedly went to the venue with them, and on the way, the crested stork introduced: "This is Jiao Yushu, the second lady of Daxue Mountain Villa. ”

When Meng Shuai saw the ceremony, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "I don't know if there is a Yan Yingjiao Yan girl in your village?" ”

Jiao Yushu groaned slightly, and changed color: "Is it the girl of the Yan family? ”

Meng Shuai was shocked: "Why is it missing?"

Jiao Yushu frowned and said, "It's not good to say. The daughter of the Yan family seems to have hooked up with a person outside, and the two became a dewy couple, and they also had a secret knot. Later, somehow, the man either abandoned her or left without saying goodbye. The girl couldn't think about it, so she went out of the house on a snowy day with her stomach up, and never came back.

Meng Shuai was very depressed when he heard this, and shook his head, this kind of thing has been happening throughout the ages, and it is really a fairy, but he is entrusted by others, but he can't complete it.

Crested Stork raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you find out? Which bastard is it?"

Meng Shuai was stunned, how did he pull out Xuan Che?

Jiao Yushu said: "It's really not him." Although it is not surprising that it is him. However, the beast should be from outside, according to the lady of the Yan family, it is from the east, and I don't know if it is from the One Yuan Ten Thousand Law Sect. ”

Zhu Xianyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be him?"

Meng Shuai knew who Zhu Xianyuan was thinking, but he didn't think it was necessary. After all, the time is not right. That Fan Zhenzong is not a person who can endure at first glance, since he came to the north to challenge, he just picked the crested stork, so it can be seen that he has not been here for a few days. And the girl was pregnant, apparently at least a few months, and the two didn't fit in.

However, even if it is not a person, since it may be from the One Yuan Ten Thousand Law Sect, there may be clues to ask.

Zhu Xianyuan muttered: "If it is him, I will kill him and avenge the girl in our north." ”

Meng Shuai didn't speak, he had an extremely bad impression of Fan Zhenzong even with the One Yuan Ten Thousand Law Sect, killing one less and one less.

When I arrived at the central venue of Daisetsui Mountain Villa, I saw that the lights were brilliant, like a sea of stars. Circles of colored lights enclose a large field. The ring outside the ring in the middle is full of marquees. Most of the paintings on the marquee lantern are the scenes of martial artists practicing martial arts, the lights turn up, and the villains on the lampshade punch and kick, like living creatures. Just looking at that circle of lights, it's already in vain.

The middle ring is also unusual, it is actually set up with wooden planks on top of dozens of wine tanks buried in the ground. The vat on the edge was half covered by the ring board, and the other half was actually open, revealing the amber liquor, and under the illumination of various lights, the wine was charming and fragrant, and it was already smoked after only a moment in the field.

This venue conveyed today's theme very well, one is the light, and the other is the wine.

Regardless of the color of the light and the aroma of wine, it renders a kind of drunken gold fan and boundless atmosphere. Under such anger, the solemn atmosphere of the competition was diluted, and it was obvious that here and now, more attention was paid to the atmosphere of the party of friends with force.

The tone of the contest can also be seen from the arrangement of seats. Except for the owner of the Bada Mountain Villa, everyone else sits below, and the position is very close to each other, surrounding the stands one by one, and there are no dead ends in all directions. There are braziers in all four corners, and the barbecue on the brazier is creaking and oily, reminding me of the smell of wine mixed with it, and crocheting a warm carnival aura.

When Meng Shuai saw this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and was stuffed with a bowl of wine syrup and a handful of barbecue, sat down in the crowd, heard the drums in the distance, and the melodious flute, and couldn't help but secretly say: What kind of martial arts is held in this atmosphere, it is better for everyone to jump up together and hold a bonfire party. Even if it is an uncovered conference...... Pairing the dance party is more in line with the atmosphere.

Crested Stork and Jiao Yushu sat down beside him and said, "Although you eat and drink, the front is full of performances, and there are also wine fights. ”

Meng Shuai said: "I'm afraid that my legs will be weak when I drink at that time, and I won't be able to move." ”

The crested stork laughed and said, "How can it be? Our warriors in the north have strength only when they drink wine, and the more they drink, the more they can fight." ”

Meng Shuai was infected by the atmosphere, drank a bowl of wine, and felt the anger rise from his stomach, and shouted, "Good wine." I saw that the crested stork had drunk the spirits, his cheeks were dizzy, and his heroic spirit was not reduced, but he was a little more charming and girlish.

After a while, more people came. A full moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight is like water, and countless colorful lights underground reflect each other, comparing the moonlight with the starry sky. The atmosphere in the stadium was higher and higher. Some people began to sing loudly, and some people left the table to dance in circles, jumping in front of whom, and couldn't help but say, first toast a bowl of wine, and sometimes pull each other into the line, singing and dancing together, and marching forward.

After making trouble for a long time, I only heard a few sounds, and a few fireworks hit the sky, blooming a large number of flowers, which were dazzling. This is not only to push the drinking party to the high court, but also a node.

Sure enough, after the brilliant fireworks show, Jiao Nanshan stood up and said, "Everyone." Today is the Shangyuan Festival, everyone has a good time. Eating and drinking are important, but don't forget, what is the foundation of my Eight Villas?"

The audience roared: "It's Wu"

Jiao Nanshan smiled: "Yes, it's Wu." The way of martial arts is the foundation of our foothold in the north. The vast snow-capped mountains, the endless wilderness beasts, if it weren't for the practice of martial arts to strengthen our bodies, how could we stand in the snowy fields, not fall for thousands of years, and reproduce from generation to generation? Even if we are happy for a while, we must not forget our roots. Therefore, the finale of our annual Shangyuan gathering is ......"

Everyone cheered loudly: "Pick up the lantern and meet the martial arts" and shouted in a loud voice: "I can't wait" The audience laughed.

Jiao Nanshan said with a smile: "Go to the lottery." ”

I saw eight big men carrying a huge stretcher out. The stretcher was piled up with all kinds of items, three zhang high, like a hill, Meng Shuai took a closer look, there were all kinds of weapons, furs, jewelry, medicinal materials, in short, they were all good things that were usually difficult to buy with a lot of money, but at this time, they were piled up like they didn't need money.

With a bang, the stretcher fell, shaking the ground. The sound of metal rubbing, clanging, is endless.

Jiao Nanshan pointed to the hill and said, "Guessing games all need to have a color head." Of course, it is no exception. In previous years, the first batch of lottery heads were all out of the mountain villa, and this year it was our turn to Daxue Mountain Villa, only ten times richer than in previous years. These are just the first waves, and there are many more to come. As long as you come to power, whether you win or lose, you must have something. ”

Everyone applauded, Meng Shuai glanced at it, according to his sealer's eyes, the weapons in this small mountain were all below the ninefold seal, so naturally they were not the final prize. For martial artists above the congenital level, these things are not precious, but for ordinary martial artists, they are also great good things.

Jiao Nanshan said with a smile: "Huiwu also eats sugarcane, and the more you eat, the sweeter it becomes." The real show is yet to come, and we have organized a group of children in Daxue Mountain Villa to come out to warm up the venue, and come-"

Listening to the sound of drums and trumpets, dozens of children ran up to the stage. These children are dressed up in general. came up and lined up neatly, with high spirits, and fought a boxing first.

Meng Shuai watched from the side, and saw that these children were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and when they punched, they were all full of anger, that is, they all entered the King Kong realm. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the end it was the world of the Five Directions, and the level of martial arts was so high that it was far from being comparable to the Great Wilderness. If you enter the King Kong realm at this age in the Great Wilderness, you are one of the best geniuses, and you should be treated as a treasure by the gate faction, but here it is the most ordinary, gathered in a bunch to perform on stage.

After a boxing fight, the audience cheered, and Jiao Nanshan said with a smile: "The sons and daughters are in good spirits. Go to that pile and pick one thing per person. ”

All the children hugged their fists and thanked them, and they came to Baoshan to choose the prizes. Dozens of people have taken it, and Baoshan has not lost a single bit, and it has not decreased.

Jiao Nanshan smiled: "Now is the time for free challenges. Whoever is willing to come up can take a prize, win a game, take another one, and take it until it runs out. ”

At that moment, there are warriors on stage to perform martial arts, and when one goes up, there will be challengers to challenge him to decide the winner or loser, the winner stays, and the loser goes down, and the process proceeds like flowing water. There was only one pair on the stage at the beginning, and later there were several pairs competing at the same time, and the audience chose what they were interested in, cheering and cheering.

But no matter how lively the stage is, the martial artists below the congenital level are all competent, and the congenital martial artists are self-conscious and do not go on stage. The level of the lottery on the stage is obviously not prepared for them.

When Baoshan was almost emptied, the moon went on another trip. Jiao Nanshan smiled: "It's time to get to the point." The following is a competition between the sons and daughters of the Shouyi realm. Last year, we decided a total of ten young heroes. However, there are two, Xuan Che and Zhu Xianyuan have been promoted in recent years, so they are no longer on the same list. The other eight people came to the stage. ”

Eight people came up on the stage in turn, and Meng Shuai glanced at them, most of them were young people, even if they were not as beautiful as goshawks and crested storks, they were also extraordinary. Eight people lined up, and the momentum was pressing.

Jiao Nanshan said: "These eight are the eight seeds of the Shouyi realm. Huiwu is a ring competition, and if the realm of the audience is the same, you can casually challenge one of the eight of them. If you lose, you will lose a lottery, you will win a prize, and you can continue to defend it, ranking among the eight young masters. Each person only has one chance, who will come first?".
