Chapter 117: Chinese New Year's Eve (5)
"Nine, eight, seven, six, five, "Nine, eight, seven, seven, six, five," the green-eyed fox counted down and winked at Guan.
"Haha, it's fun to bet like this!" Ah Guan laughed, it turned out that the green-eyed fox stall was to let each spirit rely on their own ability to cast spells to compete for dice points.
"Three, two, one!" The fox spirit shouted, and at the same time, a purple mist filled the ten wooden cups, and the sound of the dice in the wooden cups stopped abruptly. The vixen shouted again, "Open-" The ten wooden cups flipped back at the same time, revealing the dice underneath.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, five, four, three, two." The green-eyed fox read the dice numbers in order, and a small attendant on the side took the pieces of paper that everyone bet on, and eliminated the defeated spirits one by one.
"Lord Guan is in charge!" The little follower announced the piece of paper, and sure enough, Ah was in custody.
"Huh?" Guan was very surprised, and the other vixens had already protested: "Green-eyed, you did it, right?" ”
"How can the dealer meddle?"
"It's not fair!"
"Okay, okay, my candy will be divided among you!" Ah Guan laughed, only then did he realize that when the green-eyed fox cast a spell to open the wooden cup, he also secretly changed his points and deliberately let himself win.
Ah Guan gave the sugar on his body to everyone, and everyone was happy.
I went to a few more gambling stalls, and the spirits had their own gambling methods. Some just roll a dice and let everyone bet on points; There was also a time when five or six dice were rolled to see who had the lower score.
Ah Guan walked around, but saw the shrimp toad leaning lifelessly on the edge of a tree and sighed, walked over and asked, only to know that the shrimp and toad candy had lost all the essence, and he couldn't ask for other spirits, and he felt sad.
Ah Guan couldn't bear it, so he asked the sixth woman for some candy and gave it to the shrimp toad, who smiled happily and clapped his hands.
Everyone was lively and played for a while, and those who were not interested in gambling helped the green bees cook.
"Stop playing, stop playing, let's eat!" The sixth woman went upstairs and shouted.
Atai was also tired of playing, stood up on his knees, threw two large buckets of candy into the sky, and shouted: "Everyone, eat, celebrate the triumphant return of the evening in advance!" ”
"Triumphant—"
"Well said!"
The spirits cheered, reaching for the fallen candy.
The canteen table on the second floor of the Baishi Pagoda has been piled up with large plates of dishes, and the ingredients have already been prepared.
The gods, spirits, and tiger masters all gathered in the cafeteria, and each sat down, and the tiger master also gathered around the small open space allocated by the six women, chewing large pieces of chicken and duck meat.
"Let me toast you!" Huang Jiang raised the glass of Chinese wine and took a big sip of wine to everyone at the long table, and everyone also raised their glasses and drank all the grape wine in the cup.
Because Ah Guan, Ah Tai, and Liu Po were mortal bodies, in order to take care of the night battle, they used hot tea and soda instead of wine.
The spirits also ate delicious dishes, and some of the spirits began to regret eating too much sugar just now, but at this time, their stomachs were a little stretched in the face of large plates and large plates of dishes.
"Immortal lords, spirit warriors, my old woman can't slay demons and demons on the front line with you, it's okay to make a few dishes, everyone try to eat, eat this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, go to Tianxingdao tonight!" The sixth woman raised the hot tea and toasted everyone.
"Well said!"
"You are the oldest on the outside, but you are the youngest on the inside!" The spirits clapped their hands vigorously, everyone ate enthusiastically, and from the afternoon, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal lasted two or three hours.
Everyone who was well fed and drunk chatted and rested in groups of three or five, and began to prepare for the upcoming big battle.
Ah Tai moved a large box of charms into the pagoda so that Ah Guan had enough ammunition at all times.
Guan took a few stacks of charms from Ah Tai's hand, and noticed that Ah Tai's outfit was more exaggerated than before.
"I know I can't beat the goblins, but I have my way!" Ah Tai snorted, lifted his black coat, put the red line nunchuck into the special pocket on the inside, and put ten stacks of talisman darts into the pocket one by one.
"No thunder eggs this time?" Guan asked
"Eggs are too troublesome, and they take up space, and they will break when pressed, making the whole body sticky, and the rune dart is easier to use." Atai shook his head and took out another pair of chopsticks from the box.
"What is this?" Guan asked.
Ah Tai smiled and picked up a chopstick, the chopsticks were made of stainless steel, and there was a layer of talismans wrapped on them. With a few strokes, Arteibi threw it towards the wall in the distance, and the chopsticks flew fast and straight, bouncing far off the wall. He explains: "The iron chopsticks fly farther and faster than paper darts, and they are my new weapon. ”
"You've got a lot of ideas!" Guan said with a smile.
Everyone rested with laughter and laughter until the sun set and the night came.
In the pagoda, everyone has also changed from the festive atmosphere of the New Year's Festival to the excitement and anxiety of the upcoming battle, and no one has the heart to clean up the messy canteen and the messy dice stalls on the top of the tower.
Ah Guan and the immortals went downstairs out of the pagoda, and the outskirts of the mountain were quiet, and Huang Jiang and Lin Shan were communicating the details of the war.
"Wait, wait... The sixth woman hurriedly jumped out of the tower, holding a large stack of red envelopes in her hands, all of which were filled with banknotes and a lucky charm, and distributed them to Ah Guan and every immortal.
The sixth woman laughed, after many days of getting along, in addition to the city god and the general, after all, the young immortals such as Pian Pian are all teenagers and girls, and their words and deeds are no different from ordinary mortal children.
Pian Pian and the others naturally knew that this was a mortal custom, and they all took it with a smile, and they were going to fight later, and it was good to please the winner.
"Mother-in-law, I'll bother you with the logistics inside, and I'll work with the medical officer to treat the tiger master and the spirits." Lin Shan took the red envelope from the sixth woman and thanked her.
"Fairy, don't say that, this is what an old woman should do!" The sixth woman responded with a smile.
Lin Shan beckoned, and the heavenly generals stationed around flew down, and the medical officer who was still preparing upstairs also rushed downstairs with several boxes of medicinal herbs and first-aid tools. Lin Shan recruited the Heavenly General, the Six Po and the medical officer into the pagoda together, and at the same time recruited Ah Guan and Ah Tai into the pagoda.
Lin Shan looked left and right, and saw that everyone had already gathered and was ready, so he waved his hand: "According to the plan, let's go." ”
"Let's go-" Huang Jiang shouted, taking the lead and flying into the sky.
The immortals flew up one by one, flew into the night sky, and flew in the direction of the Jincheng Building.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, most people gather at home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the downtown area is more deserted than ordinary holidays, but despite this, the New Year's music in the shopping street is still loud.
In a winding fire alley, the walls of old buildings on both sides are crawling with moss, and there are many messy pipelines, some of which are dripping with water.
Outside the fire alley is connected to a small street, facing the back of the Jincheng Building.
Pianpian, Ruoyu and Huangjiang quickly passed through the fireproof alley and came to the mouth of the alley, followed by three heavenly generals, who came to help with Huangjiang and Changhe.
Huang Jiang raised his head and squinted, twisting his goatee in one hand, and carefully looked at the Jincheng Building on the opposite street, which was shrouded in layers of heavenly barriers and looked demonic.
A few cats jumped, and the old potato appeared from the underground probe, and said in a low voice, "Lord Huangjiang, everything is ready." ”
Huang Jiang nodded, and said with a smile: "Demon Realm Demon, Thousand Longevity Evil God, let you take a look at our righteous god's enchantment." At this time, Huang Jiang was no longer dressed in the same fashionable way as before, but was wearing a brown broad robe. He laughed as he pulled out a thick book from his wide cuffs, flipped through it, and picked out a charm from it.
Seeing that Huang Jiang was about to make a move, the old potato hurriedly typed out the talisman to inform the other immortals.
In a small park three blocks away in front of the main entrance of the Jincheng Building, Lin Shan also twisted a talisman and recited a spell. In a thrift street in front of the right, Changhe held up the talisman in his hand and solemnly recited a mantra.
"Seal-" Huang Jiang suddenly shouted, and threw the talisman in his hand into the sky, and the talisman instantly turned into a golden light and shot into the sky. At the same time, the park and thrift street in front of the Jincheng Building also shot two beams of light.
Three beams of light converged above the roof of the Jincheng Building, hitting a large shining light net, which shrouded and covered the entire building.
