Chapter 164: Gluttonous Feast
At dusk, the remnant sun in the west is like a pool of blood that gradually solidifies, turning from bright red to dark red, a layer of gray clouds covers the last daylight, the sky gradually darkens, the eastern horizon crawls out of the half moon, and the dark yellow light shines on the ice and snow world of Taihu Lake, as if the snow-white ice field and palace are covered with a layer of yellow veil, hazy and short-lived.
Shi, Dou Qiongying and Long Yu because they had no sleep all night last night, and they didn't wake up until late in the morning the next day, the three of them went out of the inn together, looked up and saw that the sky had already darkened, Qiongying noticed that half of the moon, like a full moon, and wondered, and said: "Oh no, is tonight the night of the full moon? β
Shi thought for a moment and said, "Today is only the thirteenth day of November, and the fifteenth day of the full moon in two days will be the day of the full moon?"
Dou Qiongying shook her head and pinched her fingers, "That's right, November 15 is the first looking day, but this month's moon stem is Ren, the year of A and B is the head, and the year of B and B is the head, Bingxin must find Geng, Ding Ren is in the ascendant flow, no wonder the moon halo Beidou last night, the moon phase is weird, today is the day of Renwu, there is the possibility of a full moon, how can I forget, this astrology is still not learned well, and the master still taught me." Qiong Ying patted her head.
Shi and Long Yu are not familiar with astrology, can only listen to a half-understanding, listen to her, the three of them know that things are a little bad, the pace of their feet is faster, and they see the pedestrians on the street in a hurry, have along Shitang Street to the direction of Taihu Lake, heard men, women and children are talking about the magic of the Buddha Light Lotus, more and more feel wrong, the three of them decided to follow the crowd to Taihu Lake to see.
From falling asleep in the morning to now, hungry and not eating, the three of them bought a few buns on the side of the road, nibbled on the buns and ran towards Taihu Lake with everyone.
"The Lotus Immortal has appeared! The Lotus Immortal has appeared!" an old lady moved her little feet forward with a dead wooden stick, her eyes drooping with tears.
"Hurry up and ask Daxian to save our child!" A couple held a baby who was still in swaddling clothes and ran towards Taihu Lake, "Daxian save the child!"
The son and eldest lady of the rich family led a team of entourage to run all the way, and the lord and wife dragged their families and mouths, and took their subordinates and maids to walk in a group, all of whom went to worship the Buddha Light Lotus and pray for glory and wealth.
More and more people rushed to Taihu Lake, and the soldiers transferred by Li Zhiping also arrived, a group of heavily armed soldiers under the leadership of the general soldiers, holding spears in their hands and wearing ring knives at their waists, shouted and pushed away the people who were blocking the road, and several groups of officers and soldiers came from the east and west roads, there were four or five hundred people, some of them did not even wear armor, carried knives, and ran with bows and arrows on their backs, and the officers and soldiers were noisy and shouting along the way, like bandits, and everywhere they went, they forcibly levied and plundered, and plundered a lot of property, like a swarm of flies to Taihu Lake.
When Dou Qiongying and the three of them arrived at Taihu Lake, they found that the lake was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, it was simply a sea of people, black and pressed under the moonlight, there were tens of thousands of people, and then looked at the center of the crowd kneeling and worshiping, there was a lotus flower with green leaves and red petals, shining, the branches of the lotus were as thick as arms, and the flowers were as big as wheels, and they bloomed on the ice like spring in the cold wind, attracting more and more people to run to the lakeThere were red candles and sandalwood, all of which were moved to the lotus flower and placed, and the sandalwood was lit, the red candles were lit, and a temporary altar was erected.
The moonlight flickered, and the candlelight flickered, shining strangely in the eyes of the people who longed for blessings.
Li Zhi, the prefect of Suzhou, lowered his shoulders, looked at the lotus flower intact as before, and the wild monk had disappeared, he was very pleased, he straightened the three-grade official robe on his body, put on a black gauze hat, respectfully kowtowed to the offering table four times, knelt down and said: "The emperor is above, the lotus immortal Mingjian, the nether micro-minister Li Zhiping is fortunate to be the great immortal descending to the mortal world, slightly prepared a thin product, in order to respect the immortal, pray for the great immortal to descend the ruiqi, bless the holy dragon in good health, the official fortune of the micro-minister, and then protect the safety of the people of Suzhou City, all hopes, the gods hang the curtain, hang the curtain!"
The common people also knelt down: "Please ask the great fairy to manifest!" For a while, there was a sensation, and the three of them were crowded in the crowd, where could they still find the trace of the lone butterfly fairy and the little flying magpie.
"Looking at the color and shape of this lotus, it looks like a thousand-petaled lotus of Buddhism. Dou Qiongying actually knows this thing, "But appearing here at this time, it's always a little hard to figure it out." β
"Is it really the Lotus Immortal who descended to earth?" The stone asked, and Long Yu sneered: "I haven't heard of any Lotus Immortal, besides, how can there be a real immortal who will show off here?"
The three of them were talking, and a red light suddenly appeared on the lotus petals, from which a Buddhist Bodhisattva with a graceful dress and a solemn face appeared, holding a mutton fat water purification bottle, standing on the lotus platform, and the figure was false and real, and preached to everyone: "Nether mortals, I am the Taihu Lake Lotus Immortal, tonight by the order of the Emperor of Heaven, come here to spend 10,000 people soaring, those who are destined, please follow me to the purple gold platform, enter the immortal book, and never fall into reincarnation!"
After that, the lotus immortal rose, turned around and flew towards the gluttonous enchantment, the onlookers, including Li Zhiping, heard that the great immortal was going to spend 10,000 people flying into immortals, they were very excited, and they chased after them, and followed the great immortal forward, and the crowd of people went forward one after another, even pushing and rushing, forgetting the dignity and humility, regardless of the old and the young, no longer caring about the difference between men and women, and rushed to the center of the lake, the stone and the other three people were coerced by the crowd, and also followed forward, walked only a few miles, they passed the place where the god boundary monument was located, the god boundary monument had disappeared, entered the gluttonous enchantment, and went down the layers of ice steps to the palace group of Zhenze Ice Palaceγ
Sixty-four gluttonous orders have now merged into one, hanging in mid-air, the huge gluttonous order is dark green, the size of a palace, the gluttonous head opened its huge mouth, spitting out a ball of purple light, shrouded in the ice and snow platform, the purple light in the clouds floating, sometimes overflowing beyond the aperture, the surrounding ice and snow palace reflected purple light, more and more crystal clear, the huge statue of the witch clamour stood behind the high platform, and the eyes refracted two cold lights.
When these ordinary people came here, it was like arriving in a fairyland, dizzy, some laughed wildly, some cried with joy, some were dumbfounded, some knelt on the ground, making a mess of noise, Li Zhiping's official authority was gone, he was pushed to the ground, struggling to get up, and no one cared about his life or death.
Dou Qiongying pulled the stone and finally squeezed out of the crowd, came to the bottom of the high platform, Long Yu followed closely and also came to the front, Qiongying looked up at the figure of the witch cricket, always felt familiar, and was secretly doubting, suddenly, the lotus immortal stood on the gluttonous lamp, and frequently beckoned to the onlookers mortals: "You and those who want to become immortals, quickly climb to the Zijin Terrace, if you want to become an immortal, it is in front of you, the opportunity is rare, it is a pity to miss!"
The crowd had already lost their minds, and when they heard the call of Cheng Xian, they chased me to the Zijin Terrace and broke into the purple light.
"Oh no, there's weirdness here, can't let them in. Qiong Ying saw that the black aura in the purple light was soaring, and it was definitely not a place to ascend to immortals. Second Chinese Network
The three of them looked at the steps of the huge Zhenze Ice Palace in the distance, and there were many figures, including men and women, wearing red and green, walking north and south, and the floating snow fairy wearing a big red wedding dress, standing at the front, Princess Shengyu, wasps, Qingniang and others were also dressed up on the left and right, and there were more Yin soldiers and water tribe guards, only the witch grub was missing.
Stone recognized the Floating Snow Fairy and the wasp from those people, and called out in a low voice: "It's the Floating Snow Fairy, she is up there, it seems that the ice and snow wedding is real." β
"No wonder there are so many tricks. Qiong Ying pointed to the man in the groom's dress and said to Long Yu: "You see, the groom's official is Bu Nanbei, and he should have done all this." β
Long Yu laughed, "I'm going to meet him, be careful." Qiong Ying wanted to stop her, she had already flown up and headed towards the palace, Qiong Ying and Shi began to stop the crowd from ascending the high platform, but where could they stop these people who wanted to be immortals, more and more people ignored the obstacles to climb the high platform and entered the purple light.
Seeing that the gluttonous feast had begun, he was relieved to start his wedding, and saw a strange woman flying up in the air, falling under the steps, and laughing loudly: "Whether it is an ordinary man or a ghost fairy, today is the day of my Purple Crab King's big day, and all the guests who come are guests, this fairy is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to congratulate us after we finish the gift." "In this Taihu Lake, I am not afraid of how many immortals and ghosts come.
As soon as the words fell, two figures flew out of the crowd, and when they came closer, it was none other than Frost Moon Xianlang and Blue Butterfly, Frost Moon Xianlang and Bu Nanbei, and the Wasp Monster Enemy were extremely red when they saw each other, and shouted: "Thief crab, old wasp, hurry up and arrest it!"
Bu Nanbei sneered, "It's not you who I'm waiting for, Senior Sister Lan, are you also here to say goodbye?"
At this time, the blue butterfly had already broken off with the two senior brothers, and the blue silk satin was in her hand: "Release people quickly!"
"It's impossible to release people, unless you can win the iron spear in my hand!" The wasp monster laughed, and the wet groom was very excited when he saw the blue butterfly, and he pulled the lantern flower and shouted: "Lady, my lady is there, mother, catch her for me." Granny Denghua was angry: "Stupid son, won't you catch it yourself? Who dares to stop you here?" The wet groom sighed, and jumped down the steps, about to go up to catch the blue butterfly, but the blue butterfly whipped the wild horse to the ground, broke an arm, and screamed, and a team of sailors stepped forward to help the wet groom back.
Bu Nanbei saw that the wet horse groom had ruined the atmosphere, and couldn't help but be furious, and said to the few people who were stirring up the situation: "Even if you have great ability, don't think about bad things for me, come here, play music, this king wants to salute with the lady!"
After an order, soon a team of herring slaves played a festive drum, joy fluttering, lingering, step north and south to pull the snow fairy to start worshiping heaven and earth, the snow fairy half pushed, from time to time to look around, as if still waiting for someone.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the ice and snow palace on the side, a palace collapsed, the ice was shattered, and it splashed all over the ground, frightening everyone, and the music stopped abruptly, the dust of ice and snow fell, and a bright lone butterfly thorn flew down in the air, and the figures of the lone butterfly fairy and the little flying magpie floated in.
"Thief crab, your time of death has come!" the lone butterfly fairy showed a fierce look in her eyes, and stood in front of Bu Nanbei in the air.
"Sister Lone Butterfly, you are finally here! Now we can avenge Sister Jinhua!" A relieved smile appeared on the face of the Frost Moon Fairy, and the Floating Snow Fairy was also relieved to see the arrival of the Lone Butterfly Fairy, I am waiting for you.
"I've kept you waiting!" The lone butterfly thorn of the lone butterfly fairy flew into the air, full of grief and indignation, and said angrily: "The great feud of thousands of spirits in the Hundred Flowers Valley will be counted with you today, the old monster of the wasp, Bu Nanbei, and you, the old ghost woman, you have deceived me so hard!"
Mother-in-law Denghua had expected that there would be today, and she didn't shirk it, and sneered: "What a big breath, now that the four green gods have died a sifting golden bamboo spirit, how much ability do you have, dare to make trouble in this Taihu Lake, I'm afraid you don't put our purple crab king in your eyes!"
When the Floating Snow Fairy heard this, she suddenly pushed away the north and south steps with one palm, flew down the high platform in the air, stood with the Frost Moon Fairy Lang and the Lone Butterfly Fairy, turned around and shouted to the stage: "Yes, we are going to make a big fuss about Taihu Lake today, Princess Shengyu, I have you to lose!"
As soon as the words fell, Princess Shengyu's Panying Sword had already flown up from behind and stabbed towards the wasp old monster, the wasp old monster suddenly felt a white light behind him, and hurriedly flashed, and after standing still, he saw that the Shengyu princess was going to kill himself, so he was angry and scolded: "I knew that you had two hearts with us, but I didn't expect you to kill me!"
Bu Nanbei was a little disappointed when he saw that the Floating Snow Fairy suddenly became difficult, and found that Princess Shengyu was going to kill her junior brother, so she hurriedly dissuaded: "Sister-in-law, why is this so?
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I made a deal with the Floating Snow Fairy, she was willing to exchange the elixir for the head of the wasp, you know I need the elixir to survive, Brother Wasp, I'm sorry!" Princess Shengyu's Panying Sword began to activate, twisting around the neck of the wasp, forcing the wasp monster away from the high platform and escaping to the side outside the palace, and the wasp monster showed his eight-handed iron spear, wanting to fight to the death with Princess Shengyu.
Bu Nanbei then remembered the three conditions that the Floating Snow Fairy had to promise himself, if someone wants to kill the wasp, he must not come to the rescue, it turns out that she and Princess Shengyu have already joined forces, if Princess Shengyu has a spirit pill to protect her body, she is not afraid of the rotting of her body, no wonder, she is regretting, Frost Moon Fairy, Lonely Butterfly Fairy, and Floating Snow Fairy have surrounded her, and Bu Nanbei forced a laugh: "Lonely Butterfly Fairy, last time you were not in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, today we have a fate, and it is also our fate." β
The lone butterfly fairy gritted her teeth with hatred: "Today is your death date!"
