Chapter 14: Tanabata (1)

The seventh day of the seventh month of July is the folk Qixi Festival.

On this day, men and women who love each other will always show their hearts to each other, and young lovers will spend time together, go to the Yuelao Temple to make a wish, and obtain a lifetime of happiness.

The concept of Qixi Festival comes from the fact that on this day every year, his father, who is usually very busy, will deliberately spare time to accompany his mother, entrust her to the maid, and go to the night market on the street alone. My father doesn't have the talent of those talented people in Jiangnan, but no matter what I say, my mother will laugh happily.

Although Kunlun is an immortal sect, it cannot completely get rid of the world, and some activities are held every year for disciples to participate, a rare relaxation, a combination of work and rest.

"Will anyone really participate? There should be a lot of cultivation that everyone usually has to complete, right?" Standing in front of the announcement on the front mountain, Qi Bing questioned.

"I heard that the number of participants every year is full, and the station is almost unable to stand, because the red-clothed disciples who participated that day can not eat the food of Qianshan, and there are ......" Xia Zhiqiu pointed to the announcement and moved his finger down, stopping at a line of words. "Because of this. ”

Qi Bing leaned over to look, and in order to let Jiang Muling know as well, she read out softly, "Participate in the event and complete multiple tasks, and the first place in the end can get permission to go down the mountain for two days and a pair of Taoist hair spikes......?"

"It's this permission to go down the mountain for two days, everyone wants to try it, in Kunlun every day to see the same people and the same scene, even if you can't go home, you can go around the town at the foot of the mountain twice to have fun, change your mood." Looking at Xia Zhiqiu's expression, I also want this prize very much.

"After arriving in Kunlun, it is difficult to go out of the mountain again, because I have to reduce the contact with my earthly family and better concentrate on cultivation, so my second brother has a special mission, and he often has to visit those immortal cultivation families, so he can always go out. ”

"This time I went out, he also has a mission, and bringing me the spirit sword is just by the way, the task is the most important thing. ”

Qi Bing thinks about it, her home is quite far away from this, two days is not even enough to travel, and she is not familiar with the town at the foot of the mountain, so it is estimated that one person will lose it, so forget it.

"The first place is also the hair spike of the Taoist couple?"

"How to say that it is also an activity of the Qixi Festival, every year the prize will add a Taoist couple's matching spirit ornament, I heard that last year it was a spirit stone necklace. Xia Zhiqiu was not interested in this.

"My senior brothers are all saying, what's the use of the spirit ornaments that the Daoist companions are paired with, they are a group of big men, where can they find Daoist couples? It's useless to take them, it's better to add some female disciples. ”

That's true, since she came to Kunlun Mountain, she hasn't seen a few female cultivators, she originally thought that her previous behavior was already very similar to a boy, but after these months of edification, she felt that she had sublimated again, and her behavior had completely detached herself from the little white face of a mother.

There are very few female cultivators in the cultivation realm, except for a few sects that only recruit female disciples, most of the immortal sects are unbalanced in proportion of men and women, but it is also rare to be unbalanced to Kunlun Mountain.

There are very few marriages between ordinary disciples in the sects of the Xiuzhen Realm, most of them are self-produced and sold, and who still has the fat water flowing to the fields of outsiders, which has led to a group of hundred-year-old singles on Kunlun Mountain.

"Xiao Qiuqiu, do you want to participate?" Qi Bing couldn't help but ask as Xia Zhiqiu saw Xia Zhiqiu start filling in a piece of paper from the wooden table.

"I'm just going to join in the fun, and this festival has nothing to do with us children. Xia Zhiqiu bit the tail of the pen, "I don't want the whole peak to be dark, everyone goes to play, just I will practice with the lights on." ”

Thinking about that picture, it seems that it is indeed a bit miserable.

"Then I'll participate too. "Yu Bing also took a piece of paper and began to fill in, and she didn't ask for any ranking, others participate every year, I don't know how many times I've played, she is definitely not a child, it's important to participate.

After filling out his own part, Yang Bing asked Jiang Muling if he would participate.

"There is no stipulation that it must be a Kunlun disciple, look at it, which article is written?"

"But its name is Kunlun Qixi Festival!" Xia Zhiqiu was speechless.

Qi Bing felt that it was the same, and if it was handed over like this, there would always be a feeling that Penglai disciples were coming to provoke the kicking hall.

"It seems that two people want to team up," Qi Bing saw the last line of small words on the notice. "It just so happened that the two of us teamed up, and Brother Mu Ling helped us in the dark, and there was no rule that we couldn't ask for help from those who didn't participate. ”

"Yes, yes, it doesn't prescribe. "This guy is so old trying to find loopholes in the rules, and he plays his clever calculation so loudly, so he wants to win?

"It's the day after tomorrow, let's hurry up and cultivate, I don't think there will be any folk games in Kunlun's Qixi Festival, they must be all tests of cultivation!" Xia Zhiqiu swore an oath.

Qi Bing felt that if this was really the case, as a person who was essentially a girl, she could understand why Kunlun had not been able to recruit female cultivators.

......

On the day of Qixi Festival, Kunlun, which is usually relatively quiet, also became lively, and everyone carried a small red lantern and gathered on the square in front of the mountain.

Only then did Yang Bing realize that there were so many disciples from the various peaks in Kunlun combined, not to mention six or seven hundred, and these were not all.

"There are so many people, how can we compare them later?" The three of them squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the stage.

"There are so many every year, there's always a way. Xia Zhiqiu was afraid that Jiang Muling would be squeezed on such an occasion, so he kept pulling him between himself and Lu Bing, and then they were almost squeezed to vomit in the outer layer.

"Compared to this, do you see the Taoist hair spike in the prize on the stage?"

Qi Bing looked at Xia Zhiqiu's fingers, and in the wooden box filled with red velvet, there were two hair spikes, one blue and one white, looking at the style, the blue one was the men's model, and the white one was the women's model.

"It's so beautiful. Standing a few meters away, he sighed. Although it is a very ordinary hair spike in jewelry, because of the exquisite production, those tassels look very light and smooth, as if they are mixed with spirit stones, some shiny, and the style is not cumbersome, which will not affect the action.

Becoming husband and wife, even if it is mundane, this is the most important promise between a man and a woman, and it is a lifelong vow to each other, and it seems that it is no exception in the cultivation realm.

"If you receive such a gift from someone you like, you will be very moved to accept it. ”

Jiang Muling listened to this ear coldly, and began to think again, could it be that the reason why Yang Bing wanted to win so much was because she had someone she admired and wanted to send her hair spikes?

It must be like this, people in the cultivation realm have a long lifespan, and they don't care too much about the age gap when looking for a Taoist couple, as long as the strength is right, just look at the right eye.

There are so few female cultivators in Kunlun, and it must be to take precautions, first show her heart to her senior sister, and then talk about it, and then hold a marriage ceremony when she grows up, which is really prescient.

The more Jiang Muling thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and at the same time thought that his friend was so good that he would definitely not be rejected.

Then, as a friend, he can only do his best to help him get the hair tassel.

"I'll do my best and let you take the first place. Jiang Muling suddenly said with a serious face, startling the other two.

"You don't have to be so serious, just be normal. ”

"That's it, we...... Actually, I didn't really want to win. Qi Bing didn't understand, the little friend who was not interested just now suddenly had high morale, and she didn't want to be disappointed that they were here to paddle, so she could only euphemistically express her mentality that she didn't want to win.

It could be heard from Jiang Muling that his brother Yang Bing was embarrassed, so he also nodded.

"I understand. ”

No, what do you know? Yi Bing has also discovered these days, Jiang Muling looks cold and full of cultivation, but in fact, he is quite good at making up his brain, is it because he can't see, so his imagination will be richer?

When the time came, it was actually Kui Wei Zhenren who presided over the event, which made Qi Bing unexpected.

But it's also quite reasonable, this is the Qixi Festival! It's weird enough that a group of male disciples participating in the Qixi Festival activities are all men, and it's terrible for the person who presides over to be also men.

And Bandit Wei is like the kind of person who likes this kind of activity, and his personality is also lively, which can completely bring the atmosphere up.

Qi Bing had already heard someone shouting in the crowd, "Bandit Wei, I'm happy with you!" in the crowd, causing bursts of laughter and scolding.

Bandit Wei's eyes lit up, "Thank you for your admiration, but the person who likes me must at least win the first place in this conference." ”

The atmosphere was brought back in an instant, and Bandit Wei Zhenren began to explain the first level under the urging of everyone.

"Because there were more people participating this year than in previous years, we added a little more difficulty to the first project," said a smile on Bandit's face...... "This is a topic set by all the female cultivators up and down my Kunlun, if you want to find a Taoist companion in the future, understanding these will benefit you a lot!"

All the teams walked to the corresponding tables in the square in the order of registration, and fortunately, the place was large, and each table could be separated by more than a zhang.

Xia Zhiqiu looked at the table, where the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were complete, which was far worse than the kind of competition he thought.

"What is this for? Is it a small test? Is it to test things like the common sense of the real world?" Xia Zhiqiu usually doesn't like to read, and he can answer some questions in a simple and understandable way, if he asks the wrong point, he will be out of line, and he is really a little bottomless at this time.

"Hmm...... Don't worry, I should be able to answer some questions, and I won't be eliminated at the first level. "It's just a little strange, if you want to test the common sense of the real world, why would Bandit Wei Zhenren gather all the female cultivators in Kunlun to come up with the test questions?

After hundreds of rolls slowly fell from above all the tables with a wave of Bandit Wei's real person's sleeves, everyone understood the true face of this terrifying level.

"How many hairstyles can a woman tie up with a hairpin?What style of skirt is the most popular in the Taoyao Embroidery Pavilion that is open all over the world?" Xia Zhiqiu looked stupid, "What is this? How do we know?!"

There are nearly 300 junior brothers who are stupid with Xia Zhiqiu, why don't they play their cards according to the routine this year? They haven't even had much contact with female cultivators, and the ghost will answer this kind of question!

"Is there any different color of this rouge? I look the same!"

"Which girl would like to give new clothes and jewelry......? I haven't sent it either. ”

"Who knows this question, the three sentences that girls hate to hear the most? I think they won't like my looks, whatever they say. ”

Some people have begun to whisper to exchange answers, although everyone knows nothing about this unfamiliar field, and everyone shakes their heads and doesn't know who they ask, and everyone gives up on themselves and starts to fill in blindly, isn't there still a choice of questions?

No one came to ask about the Bing table, because they looked too small and definitely had no experience, and they had to ask the veteran of the love scene for this kind of thing.

Who knew that there was a hidden hanging on this table, and that was the ice.

Although she was raised as a boy at home, sometimes her mother applied rouge gouache, she would also watch from the side, her mother went out shopping to buy things, she also followed, and her mother often asked her opinion, and she also liked the clothes and jewelry she picked.

So this kind of topic, swept past at a glance, most of her is sure, and she is working hard to write at the moment.

Xia Zhiqiu came over to take a look, although he didn't know the answer, he felt that what he wrote looked quite right, "How do you know this?

"When I'm at home, I'm always with my mother, so these things come naturally. This is the truth, so Yu Bing's face is not red and his heart is not beating when he says it.

But Xia Zhiqiu said that he was ashamed, he knew how to play at home, if it wasn't for his mother occasionally calling him once, he wouldn't have remembered to take the initiative to see his mother, how could he have the consciousness of a warm man like Yang Bing.

Now it's done, Xia Zhiqiu watched the incense of the timer completely extinguished, and the scroll flew away from the hands of a group of people who were in a hurry and still hadn't finished writing, and those people looked loveless, although he didn't know if what he wrote was right, but he had an inexplicable confidence.

Jiang Muling stood on the periphery and was not allowed to enter, originally wanted to hear some answers from the mouths of others and then cast a spell to send it to the two participants, but when he walked down, he didn't hear much useful things, and he was all scolding the perverted topic.

How difficult is it? Jiang Muling listened carefully for a while, well, this kind of problem is really not something that ordinary people can know.

Jiang Muling began to worry about the two of them, he hadn't helped yet, he was about to be eliminated?
