Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 214 Plum Blossom Festival
didn't give Du Delirium much time, and after saying goodbye to Du's mother, Meng Li took Du Delirium back to Jieshui City.
It will take at least half a day to return from Meixiang Town to Jieshui Town, and even if you return at this time, you will not arrive until late at night.
There is a curfew in Jieshui City, and the gates are closed in the middle of the night, so you can't enter it at all.
His plan was to wait one night and enter the city the next morning.
When he walked to the street, Meng Li found that the street was more congested than when he came, and people kept pouring out of the houses on both sides, as if they were participating in a grand event, and they took to the streets.
From the street to the entrance of the town, it is crowded with people, and all you can see is a tide of people.
Meng Li was shocked by this sudden scene and wondered, "What is the situation?"
"Why did I forget this!" Du Yu patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Today is the Plum Fragrance Festival!"
"Plum Fragrance Festival, is this a festival unique to Plum Xiang Town?"
Meng Li was a little surprised, he had grown so big, and it was the first time he had heard of the Meixiang Festival.
Du Yu nodded.
The Plum Fragrance Festival is a festival unique to Plum Xiang Town, which begins when the plum leaves are left and heralds a new beginning.
The general plum blossoms bloom in December and wither in February and March, but only the plum blossoms in Meixiang Town, with their unique varieties, can bloom until mid-May.
The so-called plum fragrance also comes from this.
Unique beauty breeds unique culture.
May, is the plum blossom withering season in Meixiang Town, every time at this time, ten thousand plum withering, poignant and moving, people in order to commemorate this festival, specially founded the plum fragrance festival.
The Meixiang Festival is the most lively festival in Meixiang Town except for the Spring Festival.
At this time, every household gets involved. Picking plum blossoms, making pies, and watching the plum altar event.
On both sides of the street, there are newly erected paving, which are dazzling and complete. But to say that the most sold is a small pie with five petals, like plum blossoms.
According to Du Yu's explanation, this pie is called plum blossom cake, which is filled with plum blossoms, which is sweet and delicious, and is the special food of Meixiang Town, and is also one of the protagonists of the Meixiang Festival.
Eating cakes during the festival is the traditional custom of the Plum Fragrance Festival, since Meng Li has encountered it, he can't miss it, he spent two copper plates, bought a plum blossom cake, and tasted it carefully in Du Yu's pitiful eyes, it really tasted sweet and pleasant.
I spent twenty copper plates and bought ten plum blossom cakes, ready to take them back to the martial arts hall for everyone to taste.
The vendor owner was a very kind young man, and when he saw that Meng Li bought a lot, he gave an extra piece, and Meng Li borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave it to Du Yu.
While nibbling on plum blossom cakes, he walked towards the entrance of the town, and after not walking far, he heard a burst of cheers from the crowd.
What's going on?
Meng Li looked at Du Yu again, his eyes confused.
Is there so much variety of plum fragrance festivals?
Du Yu said lightly: "It may be that the Meitan Festival has begun!"
"Plum Altar Extravaganza? Sounds good. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance. Although Meng Li was a little curious, he didn't mean to stop, and continued to pull Du Yu towards the outside of the village.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Du Wei shook his head and did not act.
Meng Li's face sank. "What, you repented?"
Du Yu, who had already accepted his fate, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's not, it's just that this Meitan Festival is a little special, and the whole town is closed whenever it is opened, so you can't get out even if you want to." ”
"How long will this Meitan Festival last?"
"It won't be over until after dark. ”
Meng Li's brows furrowed.
It's dark, and the daylilies are cold!
"Is there any other way?"
Meng Li himself felt that this question was a bit ridiculous. But Du Wei replied truthfully: "There is indeed a way. ”
The only way to reopen the gates of Meixiang Town is to let the Meitan Festival end early.
The way to end the Meitan Festival in advance is to remove the host of the Meitan Festival from the stage.
In front of the town's gates, a high terrace blocked the gate to the outside of the city.
The terrace was crowded with people, and on the stage was a middle-aged man in his thirties dancing with his hands, not knowing what to say.
The man was dressed in a Pisces yin and yang robe, holding a whisk of dust, dressed as a Taoist priest, and had a red mole at the corner of his mouth, which was particularly eye-catching.
This person is the host of the Meitan Festival, a third-rate gang, and the altar owner of the Aoxue Meitan.
According to Du Yu, there will be a link of martial arts and discussion in the middle of the Meitan event, which is a despicable means for Aoxue Meitan to capture the hearts of the people.
As long as Meng Li can defeat the owner of the Plum Altar in public on the Plum Altar, this Plum Altar Festival will not be able to continue even if the other party is thick-skinned.
There were third-rate gangs in Meixiang Town, which surprised Meng Li.
You must know that the water town, which is also one of the twin towns, has no gang.
When Meng Li and Du Yu squeezed in front of the plum blossom-shaped platform, the link of martial arts discussion had begun.
The owner of the plum altar in Taoist clothes handed over the dust to a maid, and looked at everyone with an extraordinary bearing behind his hands behind his back.
"Now the imperial court worships martial arts, vigorously develops martial arts, I am proud of the snow plum altar to do my best, the altar master today to the stage of the plum fragrance festival to discuss martial arts, I don't know if anyone wants to come on stage to show their hands. ”
As soon as his words fell, a person jumped on the Meitai, clasped his fists with both hands, and said boldly: "He Zijing is in the lower back fist, and he will teach the master of the plum altar." ”
"It turned out to be He Daxia, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
"Master of the plum altar, be polite and polite!"
After a flattering meal, the two began to fight.
Although there are contacts and contacts, the tricks are weak and weak, and they can only deceive the people of Meixiang Town, who don't know anything.
In Meng Li's opinion, this competition is better than competition, which really makes people laugh and cry.
After waiting for a while, after He Zijing admitted defeat and surrendered, before the second place Wu Tuo took the stage, Meng Li took the initiative to jump onto the stage.
"Wooden knife Meng Li, come to get the lesson!"
The high-spirited Mei Tan Master who won a martial arts competition showed a puzzled expression on his face after hearing Meng Li report to his home.
Wooden knife Meng Li?
Didn't you hear about it! This was also arranged in advance?
"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Meng Shaoxia, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't save the things on his face, especially after seeing Meng Li's age and the weak qi and blood on his body, the Mei Tan Lord had a smile on his face.
Although it was a little beyond the plan, since the opponent was such a milky little hairy head, it didn't hurt.
"When did I become a famous young hero?"
Hearing the other party's compliment, Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh. However, it is not rude to come and go, since the other party "treats each other with courtesy", he cannot lose his courtesy.
"Please advise!"
Meng Li's etiquette is simple and direct, with only three words.
The middle-aged man with a red mole on the corner of his mouth smiled when he saw this scene.
Young man, impetuous!
He wanted to teach this young man a little lesson.
If the palms are exhausted, the cuffs vibrate violently.
The lord of the plum altar raised his palm and attacked, and went straight to the door of Meng Li.
This trick is intended to intimidate.
The master of the plum altar pressed down, ready to change his moves at any time, but soon he knew that he was thinking too much.
Meng Li held the wooden knife in his hand, his eyes calm.
Knife out!
Such as drinking water and eating, a plain knife.
But this knife sealed all the changes in the middle-aged man.
When the master of the plum altar saw this bland knife, he was about to laugh at the sentence "This is also a knife technique", but the subsequent changes made him swallow this sentence back.
There's something wrong with this knife!
His shoulders trembled, and his palm posture changed, but all the changes were sealed in this knife.
The master of the plum altar did not dare to advance, so he could only retreat, but before he could withdraw one step, Meng Li's second knife had already attacked.
The same knife technique, the same difficult to deal with, the master of the plum altar was at a loss, and was suddenly slapped away by this knife.
"Lord Meitan, admit it!" Meng Li returned the wooden knife to the sheath, and raised his hand and clenched his fist expressionlessly.
The Lord of the Plum Altar was lying on the ground, looking at the sky with a confused expression.
He actually lost, so simply lost?
From the beginning to the end, the other party only made two cuts.
Two knives...... And he was defeated!
The Lord of the Plum Altar thought back to what had just happened, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and then looked at Meng Li, his gaze had changed completely.
To be able to use such a knife technique at such an age, this son's background must be extraordinary, it is difficult to become a famous disciple somewhere.
Thinking of this, the shame of the Mei Tan Lord's defeat to Meng Li suddenly disappeared, and one stepped forward and jumped up from the ground.
"It is worthy of Meng Shaoxia, Mei admires, admires!"
The master of the plum altar clasped his fists with both hands, walked to the front of the stage and said to the crowd of people who were talking about the audience: "Everyone, this Meng Shaoxia, the teacher of the famous family, the sword skills are extremely high, and there are few opponents in the boundary water city, although the master of this altar is defeated today, he is still glorious!"
Hearing the explanation, the already disappointed people in the audience were stunned, and then burst into thunderous applause.
It turned out that it was not that the altar master was weak, but that the other party was too strong.
Aoxue Meitan is still the pride of their Meixiang Town.
"Isn't it?
Meng Li looked at the Mei Tan Master who was talking to himself, dumbfounded.
To be able to say that his failure is so "fresh and refined", such a brazen person is simply unheard of.
The master of the plum altar walked in front of Meng Li, picked his thumb and said with a smile: "Meng Shaoxia is young and promising!"
Meng Li resisted the urge to slap the other party to death, and said without leaving any emotion: "The master of the plum altar has been defeated, this plum altar event can be withdrawn, right?"
"Withdraw, withdraw immediately!"
The more ruthless Meng Li's performance was, the more in line with the style of the disciples of the Great Sect, and the more awe-inspiring Lord Meitan immediately took action and arranged for his subordinates to help the people split the stage.
The people of Meixiang Town are simple, and after a short period of shock, they also gave a helping hand, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the platform was dismantled.
The lord of the plum altar came to take Meng Li in front of him, and said flatteringly: "Meng Shaoxia, the platform has been disassembled, I am ready to go home, if Shaoxia does not dislike it, you might as well go back with me to sit down, so that you can enter the friendship of the landlord in the next place." ”
Meng Li was not used to this person's behavior, and coupled with the urgency of time, it was naturally impossible to agree, so he waved his hand and refused it, without even saying a word.
Lord Meitan laughed, stepped aside, and watched Meng Li and the two walk out of Meixiang Town.
At this time, a young disciple dressed in a plum altar costume stepped forward and said angrily: "Master, they have fallen into the majesty of our Aoxue Plum Altar, so let's just let them go?"
"If you don't let them go, what can you do?" The face of the Lord of the Plum Altar changed, and he no longer had the courtesy he had when he faced Meng Li before, and said coldly: "Remember, the strong in this world are respected. Tell me to go on, and this incident will be treated as if it had never happened, and whoever dares to mention it in the future will see that I will not pull out his skin!"
Remembering that the master had done what he said, the young disciple looked frightened and said, "Yes, Master!"
After speaking, he remembered one more thing and said, "Master, the whereabouts of the Luo family sisters have been detected, you guessed right, they really fled to Jieshui City. ”
The Lord of the Plum Altar sneered: "These two little girls, I have cultivated them for so many years, and now that it is finally time to 'enjoy', how can I take them lightly? They think that they have escaped enough to be hidden, but they don't know that all this is under my control, tomorrow you and your teacher will go to Jieshui City and arrest them back." ”
"Yes, Master!"
