Chapter 118: Eclipse Days
"Luo Qinghan?"
When Hong Chen heard this name, he immediately remembered that he and Luo Qinghan had met several times, for fear of being recognized, and the wine woke up a little, covering the lower half of his face with his left hand in a daze, his body sank, his elbows propped up on the table, and he continued to stare at the center of the pool.
The heroes of the rivers and lakes heard the words of Qi Ying and Liu Shiliang, and looked at the sword playing methods of the people on the water, and they also recognized Luo Qinghan one after another. I just don't know who the other person standing next to him is.
"I don't know that Luo Daxia visited our village, and he missed the distance, and he hoped to forgive him. Ning Cai generously hugged his fists and praised, "Luo Daxia and the hero next to him floated on the water, the light skills are really breathtaking. ”
Many people nodded with their heads, light skills are enough to tread water, and many first-class masters and even some second-rate masters who are good at light skills can do it. But it is rare to stand on the water so quietly, and most of them are seeing it for the first time.
Luo Qinghan's hand stopped, but the long sword was still trembling, and he said with a smile: "Haha, Lord Ning Zhuang praised it." Where am I floating on the water? I'm just stepping on a stake to measure the water level. ”
The heroes on the edge of the pond suddenly cried and laughed.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Ning Cai's face, although he knew that there was indeed a wooden stake in the pool, but he only thought that Luo Qinghan wanted to show advanced light skills, and he didn't think about it. He also said: "Luo Daxia, the water is cold, you and another friend should come and sit down first." ”
Luo Qinghan said: "Wait a minute. ”
Ning Cai was stunned: "What else is going on with Luo Daxia?"
Luo Qinghan threw the sword into the sky, and after a few turns of the thin withered tree, it was inserted back into the scabbard on his back. Then he said, "Heavenly Master asked me to bring you a message. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. In Dayu Kingdom, everyone knows how heavy the word "Heavenly Master" is, and it is even better than that of the Son of Heaven. Ning Cai took a deep breath in surprise and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that even Yan Tianshi was interested in the Immortal Conference in our village, and I don't know what instructions to give?"
"This is not a Heavenly Master's instructions. Luo Qinghan casually pointed to the sky outside the mountain and said, "The Heavenly Master observed the sky yesterday night and judged that there would be a vision tonight, so he told me who was coming to the Immortal Conference, saying that there would be a vision in the southern sky around a quarter of August 15, which was rare on weekdays, so everyone had better take a look." ”
"I see, the Heavenly Master is really interested. Ning Cai paused and said, "It should be just when I arrived in Hai now, and it is less than a moment away from what the Heavenly Master said." ”
Everyone on the edge of the pond looked at the night sky in the south, only to see the bright moon in the sky, without clouds and stars, not like there would be any vision. Someone said: "There will be meteors on summer nights, and sometimes they will even rain down like rain, but is there also a meteor on August 15?" Another person said: "Is the vision that happened on the 15th day a lunar eclipse? I have seen it once, and it is indeed a rare vision." A lunar eclipse that will occur on August 15 should be even more rare. Someone continued: "The solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse can determine the good and evil in the world, but I don't know if it is really a lunar eclipse, is it good or bad for the world?"
Hong Chen looked at the moon in the sky, and was a little confused, his mouth was very thirsty, but he couldn't find water next to him, only wine, so he picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, his mouth was numb, and he didn't feel any bitterness and spiciness. At this time, the wind was quiet, and many thoughts suddenly came out of my heart: "It turns out that the wine is not very difficult to drink, and it is quite comfortable to drink too much." Am I drunk now? How do I pronounce that poem? 'Raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow'? Bullshit! I don't worry at all now! This hero is a hero, it's wonderful, it's really good, just talk and laugh with people all day long, show your martial arts, you can eat and drink, and there are beautiful girls who speak politely on the side, and you don't have to run around like a lost dog, and be coldly treated by people. Ah, the wine is so good, I need another glass, a glass of wine, but I don't have to worry at all, wine can really dispel sorrows...... Hmm, it seems that the knife that Ji Cha found in the stomach of the horse statue in the White Horse Temple last time is called to dispel sorrow...... A broken knife that I don't feel comfortable holding can be as good as wine?"
Suddenly, someone said: "Ah, the moon is really missing a small piece!" Everyone looked closely, Hong Chen also looked at it, although his mind was dizzy, he could still see that the moon as big as a disc was missing a small bite, and couldn't help laughing: "Ji Cha, remember the bamboo rats I told you? Sometimes feed them cakes, and when you bite into them, the cakes become like this." But immediately came back to his senses, Ji Cha did not sit beside him. Immediately after that, he was startled again, and immediately stared at a few people next to him - he had just said the wanted name of "Ji Cha", but it was bad! But when he looked at the same table and the adjacent table, he found that no one had a reaction to his words, and they were all looking at the lunar eclipse in the sky, so Hong Chen breathed a sigh of relief: it seemed that his tongue was numb, his speech was slurred, and other people's attention was not on him, and no one heard it.
The lunar eclipse continued, and when Hong Chen looked at the sky again, the moon was already half missing, like a crooked ship. Yan Ji beside him raised his glass and said: "Brother Hong, you have drunk so much with others today, taking advantage of this vision from the sky, no one else comes, you have to have a few more drinks with me." ”
"Dry. ”
Hong Chen was also not polite, he drank with Yan Ji cup by cup, and there was a little anger in his heart: "You little prince, you can live a stable life and enjoy a rich life, but you are not satisfied, and you want to restore your own dynasty and become the emperor all day long." If you have to be so close to the Demon Sect Ji Cha, I see that you will be taken into the ditch sooner or later. ”
With qi in their chests, Hong Chen and Yan Ji drank faster, and they followed the next cup almost after one cup was finished. A little drunkenness that had just calmed down had just disappeared, and then it got up again.
The moon in the sky is getting thinner and thinner, from the boat to the curved sickle, and then from the curved sickle to the woman's eyebrows - what Hong Chen first remembered was not Jiang Xihe and Wu Yisi who he saw today, but Ji Cha around him when he first learned to ride a horse.
The bright moon finally disappeared, leaving only a round red shadow. There was an uproar among the heroes: "It's red, it's red, you see, the moon is completely red!" "Don't make a fuss, sometimes the lunar eclipse is a total lunar eclipse, and the moon just turns red." "I've heard that the moon will turn bronze in a total lunar eclipse, but this time the moon is as red as blood, unlike before. ”
Hong Chen was also secretly surprised, remembering that when he was in Taoyuan, he listened to what the shopkeeper said, if there is a lunar eclipse in the sky, it will be as short as two quarters of an hour and as long as two hours, and I don't know how long this lunar eclipse will last. Holding on to the drunkenness that surged up his head, he stared at the sky and waited for the lunar eclipse to end.
But there is not only the moon that is red, even the red light is reflected on the night, Hong Chen thought that he was drunk and dazzled, but he heard Yan Ji say: "There is a fire in the city!" Immediately looked carefully, only to see from the top of the mountain can see many lights in Tianjing City, it should be the full moon festival lantern festival, but in the periphery of Tianjing, where there should not be a lantern festival, there is also a large area of light.
Many people noticed the abnormality and said, "Hey, how can there be a place on fire in this big festival? This lunar eclipse is really fierce, and the disaster comes so quickly!" "It seems that the north of the city is on fire, and most of them are wooden huts and grass huts. "Which stinky thing lit a fire, don't other firefighters want to celebrate the holiday?"
Looking at the firelight, Hong Chen seemed to have a string in his memory, as if he had seen a fire a long, long time ago, but he couldn't remember it anyway. Then he suddenly realized: "In the shantytowns in the north of the city, many of the people living in them are poor people who have to save water to drink.
Then I remembered the three disciples "Huoshenlong", "Feng Qilin" and "Lei Feifeng" who were accepted in the shantytown, as well as the thin, tall, and fierce shanty woman, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway: "Can they hide from this fire?" Oh, I heard that the shanty woman raised a lot of lonely old people with mobility problems, and there must be many similar people in the shantytown, I have to go and see it quickly!"
Hong Chen stood up suddenly, shook and walked down the mountain. Seeing this, Yan Yu asked: "Brother Hong, where are you going?" Hong Chen replied: "Go back to the city!" Yan Ji asked again: "What are you doing back to the city?" Hong Chen only replied: "It's on fire, save people." ”
At this time, at the table that was passing by, a Jianghu guest on the seat stretched out his hand and pulled Hong Chen's sleeve, and said: "Seniors of the gods, there are all homeless people, who often act as traitors on weekdays, it is estimated that if the fire goes down, nine out of ten people are guys who should go to prison, and there is nothing to save." Hong Chen suddenly broke away: "There are people I know there." ”
Ning Cai saw that Hong Chen wanted to leave, so he also came over and said, "Divine Palm Hero, you are so drunk, when you get there, the fire will be burned." When it comes to saving people, we have our own firefighters to do, and we don't need it. Hong Chen paused when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not good, and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't go to see it, so he said: "I have to go, Master Ning Zhuang don't want to stop him again." ”
Although the others also saw the fire, first, it was a long way away, and when the time came, the fire would either be extinguished or burned; second, they all drank some wine and did not want to move; third, even if they were not drunk, this night banquet was a good time to get closer to many heroes and heroes, and the small fire that broke out in the shantytown was not worth leaving at all.
Hong Chen walked a few more steps, felt a person following him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Ji Cha, and said, "What are you doing with me?" Ji Cha said: "Go with you to fight the fire." The fire in Hong Chen's heart finally began to spray out: "Demon ...... Don't follow me! Who wants you to put out the fire! Get out of here, I don't want to see you. ”
Ji Cha's eyes widened: "What did you say?" Hong Chen didn't shout "devil" again, only shouted: "I don't want to be with you, get out of me." ”
Ji Cha had never been scolded and humiliated by Hong Chen, and he was about to leave as soon as he turned around. But Hong Chen suddenly said again: "Wait!" Ji Cha immediately stopped, rejoiced in his heart, and said, "Regret?" Hong Chen shook his head and spread his right hand: "Before you go, return my knife to me." Ji Chazhi, who had just gotten up the fire of joy, felt like a large basin of ice water had been splashed, and scolded: "How can you have your knife, get out!"
Hong Chen stretched out his hand to grab it, Ji Cha sped up his pace and walked back, and at the same time held down the sun and moon on his waist to prevent Hong Chen from taking it. Hong Chen rushed two steps, stumbled, but copied it and took off the sorrow on Ji Cha's back. Ji Cha felt that his back was first heavy and then light, and he turned around, but saw that Hong Chen had already caught the sorrow wrapped in strips of cloth, and disappeared into the night.
