The three of them, Xiao Sheng, Fool, and Xia'er, had already eaten in the inn and were waiting for them to return. After everyone sat down, Xiao Sheng told everyone what he had heard today.

This year's Okito Contest will be held in two days' time, and from tomorrow evening, a grand festival will be held in the city until the end of the festival. On the first night of the Okini Festival, the King of the Ao Ling League and the Grand Duke of the Silver Clan will also hold a prayer ceremony at Baishitan to announce the prizes of the winners of the Okino Festival, and pray for the blessings of the participating tribes.

"Then what news have you heard about Jia'er Shuyi in the sea market?" asked Lin Feng after finishing speaking.

"Nope. Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, he patronized and accompanied You Boyun to go shopping today.

Xiao Sheng said: "Then from tomorrow, we will go out separately to inquire, and gather the news in the evening, as soon as the Chongyuan Festival is over, we must leave Haishi and find another way." ”

Lin Feng said: "Okay, then let's split up tomorrow, what about Ku'er and Xia'er?"

Xiao Sheng said: "Ku'er is afraid of people and doesn't dare to go out, so let him stay in the guest room, and prepare more food to make a mess." Xia'er followed me all the way, he was smart enough, and the two of us acted when we saw the opportunity, and we were sure to be fine. ”

"Xiaosheng, what is the prayer ceremony you just said?" You Boyun interjected and asked.

"It's a ritual, and almost everyone will go to see it when the time comes." ”

You Boyun said, "Then can we go too?"

Xiao Sheng said: "If we don't find any clues in the past two days, let's go and observe, maybe we can find someone to inquire about some news." ”

You Boyun said happily: "Okay, it must be very lively." ”

Several people agreed and the plan was implemented.

The next day, the designated shops of the silver rohu began to sell sky lanterns and a round sea lantern. The lantern is larger than the head, and the material is similar to wax paper, and the color is golden or orange-yellow like beeswax. If you pray for peace, please draw a peace lantern in the shape of a river and a large wooden boat, if you pray for health, please draw a longevity lantern with a pine pattern and the shape of a bird, if you pray for a career, ask for a fortune lantern in the shape of ingots and painted with a pattern of gold mountains and silver seas, and if you pray for love, please ask for a marriage lamp in the shape of a star and a pattern of flowers. In addition, there are various lanterns such as asking for blessings, asking for children, asking for wind and rain, and so on. They are made of a special transparent gum and contain combustible materials or tiny firefly branches, which are painted in the right color and have a picture on the outside, which looks beautiful and delicate.

At the same time, there is also a kind of kite-like thing on sale, hang the lantern on the tail of the kite, put it in the sky, whose lamp is higher, brighter, more and more beautiful, it indicates that who is better in the next three years, the more prosperous. Of course, there are also those who don't want to spend money to buy kites, so they take the lamp and hang it on the top of the building and branches, which can be regarded as a wish. For this reason, at night, I saw the sea, the top of the mountain, the treetops, the corner of the building, and the air, all of which were colorful lights, and the whole Haishi mountain and water shadows, the lights were swaying, and the ten thousand points of brilliance reflected the weather in the sky and the earth, and it was very lively.

Lin Feng and You Boyun thought that this was beautiful, but they didn't expect that the day of the prayer ceremony would make the two of them dizzy.

On that day, the silver rohu set up windmill-like machinery in various areas of the city, and at noon, when the sun was at its highest, the group of machines continued to blow countless colorful bubbles of different sizes. These bubbles endure for a long time, covering the sky and the sun, dancing up and down, enveloping the entire sea market in a sea of colorful bubbles. And in the evening, the most lively and grand prayer ceremony of the Okinogen Festival is about to begin.

After dinner, Xiao Sheng disguised Lin Feng, You Boyun, and Xia'er again, and instructed each of them a few words, and the four of them walked slowly to Baishi Beach under the afterglow of the sunset with the flow of people.

When you come to the beach, there are already quite a few mrigal guards here to maintain order. Lin Feng saw that a large and exquisite wooden floating platform was built in the calm water, and a thick curtain was blocked in front of the stage, so that he could not see the scenery inside. On both sides of the large floating platform are two smaller wooden platforms, on which are standing musicians and dancers, playing and dancing unhurriedly.

On the two islands not far behind the big floating platform, there is a giant tree that looks like a bauhinia, and the purple-red flowers scatter down from the tender green canopy, just like the explosion of ceremonial flowers solidifying here, and like countless elves playing and skiing on the green giant waterfall, the big floating platform is set off with a colorful and magnificent atmosphere.

On the beach nearby, there is also a rectangular stone platform, the stone platform is half a person high, clean and smooth, and it is carved with simple patterns. I don't know what to do.

Lin Feng and the four of them didn't dare to go too far forward, so they found a hidden corner and stood still, quietly waiting for the opening of the Prayer Yuan Ceremony. In a few moments, the sun fell into the sea, and when night fell, everything on the sea stage was blurred. With a bang, countless colorful jellyfish suddenly sprung up in the sea, and those jellyfish danced softly with the sound of silk and bamboo, one time arranged into a pattern of various flowers and trees, and then scattered in all directions, falling high and low in the water, layer upon layer, dancing.

Just as I was looking at it, I heard a sound of "bang-la-la", and hundreds of millions of sparks rose from the two redbud tall trees, like meteors, like falling red, like a waterfall, pouring down from the canopy to the center of the sea. Falling into the air, as if hitting something, it jumped up again, the streamer lingered, crisp and sound.

With the beating of the sparks, something seemed to be ignited and scorched in the air, and the fire quickly spread, and a huge pattern was burned in the air - the phoenix black picture. It is the emblem of the royal family of Aoling.

Looking at the water again, those jellyfish are also lined up in a huge painting of light and shadow at this moment - a big silver carp jumping towards the bright moon. It is the emblem of the royal family of the silver rohu.

Suddenly there was a tsunami of cheers on the white rock beach, accompanied by the deafening sound of gongs and drums, which shook the sea market from the ground to the air.

After a while, the noise gradually quieted down. With a burst of cannon fire, the jellyfish slowly rose from the bottom of the sea with a huge ball as bright as the moon. When you look closely, the jellyfish are all dancing mrigals, and they hug the ball and hold it firmly on the surface of the sea. Before that, the ball slowly cracked, and out of it came a beautiful young man in a silver dress, he was majestic and handsome.

The crowd erupted in shouts. The boy smiled and cleared his throat. The crowd immediately fell silent.

The young man said: "Thanks to the strong support of all tribes, this Chongyuan Festival is better than before. The only regret is that the king of the Ao Ling League is busy with affairs and has no time to get out, so he entrusts this prince to preside over the ceremony of praying for the yuan in this world and award prizes to the winners of the chong yuan. I hope that the participants of all tribes will achieve good results and not lose the king's grace. ”

After speaking, the young man raised his hand and waved, and the drums behind him sounded in unison, and the curtain was opened on the big floating platform on the sea. There are nearly 100 artists with light makeup and heavy makeup on the stage, and they perform together with the sound of instrumental music to perform the bridge of the creation of the great god Changzuo.

The first is that the great god Changzuo defeated the demons and defeated the flood. Then it was he who created the human beings of this world in his own image, and flew away in a piece of auspicious light. Finally, the crowd prostrate on the ground, imploring the great god Changzuo to come to the mortal world again. At the end of the performance, the beautiful young man sang a prayer, and all the people sang along with him for a while. In a few moments, the solemn and sincere singing sound resounded in every corner of the market.

Sparks re-emanated from the two giant bauhinia trees, and a group of "fairies" fluttered from the sky and fell into the sea. Every three "fairies" hold a large wooden plate, which contains a huge "fairy fruit". The young man led everyone to salute the sky, and then let the "fairy fruit" be held on the stone platform on the beach. After cutting the "fairy fruit", the boy gave it one by one to the tribes participating in the Okinogen Festival competition. At this point, the prayer ceremony ended successfully.

But at the moment, the people on White Rock Beach are even more excited, because the prizes of this year's winners of the Rush Yuan will be revealed soon. The Orang clan is in charge of the earth, the silver rohu clan is in charge of the sea, both clans are very strong and rich, although the silver dahu clan is nominally respected by the royal clan of Orang, and has never transgressed, but the Chongyuan Festival competition has always been jointly held in the name of the two clans, and the prizes they provide are of course different, but they are all very rich.

In a short time, three silver-inlaid wooden platforms were placed in front of the silver dahu boy, and each wooden platform was covered with a fine cover cloth hanging from the ground. Those who can't hold back their restlessness are already shouting over and over again: "Victory, victory, victory..."

The young man smiled and looked around the beach, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were gathered, he said, "You all want to know what this year's winners' prizes are, and why there are three podiums this year? Therefore, I would like to ask the king of the Ao Ling League to be extra gracious and allow a single person to sign up to participate in this year's Chongyuan Competition, as long as these temporary contestants pass the preliminary test of their own clan with their strength, they will be qualified to compete with the clan players for the winning prizes of this year's Chongyuan Festival!"

At this point, the pot immediately exploded on White Rock Beach. Some are amazed, some question, some are ecstatic, some are contemplative. The boy seemed to have expected such a scenario, and he was not in a hurry, waiting for the people to gradually calm down before continuing: "Of course, if there is a temporary contestant who can defeat the professional contestants of the clan, then I will also choose another winner from among the tribal contestants and award him the same prize as a reward. ”

When people heard this, most of them breathed a sigh of relief, and even clapped their hands and shouted. The young man saw that everyone had no objections, so he continued: "Then Bengong will immediately announce the winning prizes of this year's Chongyuan Festival for everyone. With that, Xu Bu walked to the wooden platform on the far left, elegantly reached out and pulled the cover lightly.

Everyone saw that on the wooden platform was a tray with three gold medals in it. The boy picked up a piece and said, "The first prize is to provide the winner's clan with three years of glow stems, high-grade sea salt, and 1,000 taels of silver, with which these three tokens can be redeemed at any time at the pavilion set up by the clan." ”

After that, people immediately turned their heads and ears again. For the big tribes, the annual cost of the glow stalk branch and sea salt will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, and if they can get three years of supplies for free, it is indeed worth a lot. And for small tribes, a thousand taels of silver is also a huge amount of money. This prize is really attractive.

The boy came to the wooden platform in the middle again, and tore off the second cover cloth as everyone looked through the autumn water. When the contents of the tray first appeared, some people couldn't help but shout: "Isn't this an egret fruit!" When everyone heard this, they all looked at it, and saw that the tray contained two fist-sized white feathers, with heads, feet, and wings, and the image was lifelike. Everyone gasped in unison, this real immortal fruit is definitely something that can be encountered but not sought. It grows on a mysterious island next to the Divine Heart Lake, and is strictly guarded by the Ao Ling royal family, and only a few knots are formed in ten years, and the effect is very magical, and a single piece will never be less than a thousand taels of silver, and this prize is really generous!

The young man saw that people were probing their heads and sticking their toes to crowd forward, so he simply gently picked up one of them with his hand, held it high above the top and said: "As you can see, this is the egret fruit, although it has no effect of reviving the dead, it can repair physical disabilities, change shape, and change appearance, which is rare in the real world." As he spoke, he showed it in all directions and put it back in its place.

Finally, the boy came to the wooden platform on the right and said to the still excited crowd: "This thing is not a prize, but it is auspicious, and I want to use it to inspire more people to participate in this Chongyuan competition." As he spoke, he slowly pulled off the cover with his hands.

This time everyone was surprisingly quiet, their eyes wide as they stared at the pale blue scales in the tray, completely unaware of what it was. However, Lin Feng's eyes almost fell to the ground, because this thing was eight or nine points similar to the scales on Ga'er's body that he had seen on Hanmu Island!

I heard the young man say: "This is the treasure that our silver rohu clan recently found in the deep sea, and we call it the present dragon lin. It is a miracle that foreshadows that the great god Changzuo will come to the mortal world again. Below, I will announce the schedule and specific arrangements for this competition. From tonight to tomorrow, anyone who is willing to participate in the competition can go to the silver dahu clan post house to register, and those who pass the preliminary examination will be given ten taels of silver to make a coil, and they will also be allowed to touch this auspicious rui..."

Lin Feng had turned a deaf ear to the words of the young man, and his eyes were full of blue scales. He thought to himself, "If that thing is really Ga'er's clothes, it can be regarded as stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, so it will take no effort to get it." But is it so coincidental?

After that, the boy made some high-sounding closing words, and ordered the three trays to be put away, bowed slightly to the people, and with the support of the guards, left the beach in a small open sedan chair with a boat-shaped fish pattern and inlaid gold.

The crowd then dispersed one after another, and Lin Feng and the four of them hurried back to the inn, closed the doors and windows, and couldn't wait to plan their actions today and tomorrow.
