Jiulong Mountain after the snow is getting colder and colder.

The birdsong in the mountains fades and fades. All things converge, as the rainbow is gone, the weather rises, and the earth qi falls. Lin Yi is in the Tianlong Sect, and the first Winter Solstice New Year has arrived.

The Shang country was vast, and the customs were different from place to place. In some places, the first day of the first lunar month is regarded as the beginning of the new year. Northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang are about the same, and the winter solstice is the beginning of the year.

Lin was holding a letterhead in his hand, which was written by Qin Chenghong Banxian, and he was brought by someone else, and there was a flower cloth package.

The letter said that after Lin Yi left, he did not go home for a long time, and the whole family was very worried about him. Hong Banxian's letter also said that after the New Year, Quan'er will be fifteen years old, and Wanglin will go back when he is free.

Lin Yi put down the letterhead, and in the package was a suede mattress sewn by Quan'er. A mattress a few feet in size, densely sewn with needlework and thread, is strong, soft, and warm. Stroking the mattress in his hand, Lin Yi shook his head gently......

At this time, in the valley behind the top of the immortals, is the grave of the master and the ancestor covered with artemisia grass, and has anyone cleaned it? In the small heavenly col, is the uncle and aunt's family okay? Cui'er should be thirteen years old! And Mr. Su's entrustment ......!

"Senior Brother Lin——!" Wen Lun's voice came from outside the house. Lin Yi packed up his things and walked out.

Hu Wan was dressed in a new cotton robe, with joy on his face. Seeing Lin Yi, Hu Wan waved his hand to let the three of them leave quickly.

In the courtyard of carriages and horses, it is too unreasonable to have no one on duty. Wen Lun and Shen Ding pulled Lin Yi away. Only Hu Wan was left to look after the house.

The three of them walked to the gate of the villa and met Jiang Fangdi and the three. Xu Yue's eyes were full of joy, and Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai were also smiling. It turned out that the three of them were also going out for a stroll, so they teamed up and walked out.

"Is it hard to patrol the mountains every day?" Lin Yi asked the three Jiang Fangdi beside him.

Jiang Fang waved his hand, and between his gestures, he was more calm, and he said: "It's just a routine every day!"

Dai Yuanhai and Xu Yue also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"The inner disciple is about to travel, have you heard anything about it?" Lin Yi's tone was very casual.

"It's none of my outer disciples, it's nothing to inquire about. Jiang Fangdi shook his head and said.

Lin Yi's expression flashed with a hint of worry.

Wen Lun came up from behind with a smile and said, "This matter has something to do with my carriage and horse compound!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wen Lun smiled proudly, and said quite sarcastically: "It is a gentleman who never leaves the baggage all day long, so the disciple must be accompanied by a carriage when he travels." Let's talk about it, does this have anything to do with our carriage and horse compound!"

Jiang Fangdi suddenly said: "So, you want to drive the carriage with you?"

"Yes!" Wen Lun said sourly.

Shen Ding muttered dissatisfiedly in the back: "Senior Brother Lin's friend is now, can't you talk well!"

Wen Lun hurriedly smiled and said, "It's normal for you to wait for the entrance later, and you don't know about it, hehe!"

Lin Yi's worries were gone, and he was still a little surprised! He was really sleepy and had such a coincidence that someone sent him a pillow and became a disciple of raising horses! The disciple of the Tianlong Sect was about to travel, and he had been anxious that he would not be able to accompany him. Sneak tailgating is a last resort, and now with such a great opportunity, it's really exciting!

"How many people and cars do you have to accompany the chariot and horse compound?" Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he asked unintentionally.

"In previous years, it was just two people and two cars, but this time it's almost the same!" Wen Lun's eyes rolled, and he continued with a smile: "Senior Brother Mo Feilin intends to travel far away?"

"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Wen Lun shook his head with a smile and said, "What's wrong with this, it's just that it takes more than a year to go back and forth, and the journey is very hard." In the chariot and horse compound, no one wants to go"

Lin Yi kept moving, raised his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "The inner disciple traveled, and he turned around after more than a year?"

"How could it be? Every time the inner disciple travels, he can't come back without three or five years!" Wen Lun scratched his head, and then smiled: "Hehe, what I'm talking about is that the chariot and horse send them to the place, and they will turn back, and they don't always follow." ”

Lin Yi's eyebrows raised and nodded silently.

......

Along the way, several people kept talking and laughing.

The market outside Kowloon Mountain soon appeared in front of everyone. It's a bit busier than usual, with "winter solstice dumplings" made of fruits, vegetables or meat dishes on display in front of the shops, dog meat in clay pots on red clay stoves bubbling with tantalizing aromas, incense and candle stalls crowded into the streets, and the cries for "brewing winter wine" spread far and wide.

As the saying goes, take a tonic in winter, and fight a tiger in spring. Hehe!" Wen Lun salivated, hurriedly ran over and bought a dog's leg. He pointed to a wine urn again, and said happily: "This winter wine is not bad, it is brewed in the urn before the winter solstice, and it can only be drunk during the winter solstice next year, and it is only brewed once a year!"

Wen Lun bought two more jars of wine and let Shen Ding hold it.

Seeing this, Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai were not exempt from vulgarity, and each of them bought some wine and meat. Xu Yue also bought a few vegetable dumplings and carried them in his hands.

Lin saw that several people were busy, so he walked forward alone. Walking to a candle stall, he stopped and bought a candle.

"Shopkeeper, give me a copy too!" Hearing this, Lin Yi looked back and smiled. It was Dai Yuanhai who caught up with several people.

"Senior Brother Lin is going to the winter grave?" asked Xu Yue softly.

Lin Yi looked at Xu Yue puzzled, and nodded suddenly.

When the winter solstice comes, on the temple, the scholars and doctors congratulate each other, called "worship the winter"; the humble and young worship the elder, call it "He Changzhi"; worship the ancestors as "go to the winter grave"; those who gather and live together, and sacrifice to the clan as the "winter solstice meeting". Lin Yi also knows a little about the customs related to the winter solstice, and he doesn't care if he goes to the winter grave, he just wants to worship his master and father. Buying incense and candles on behalf of Yuanhai must be the same.

A group of green-shirted disciples approached him, Jiang Fangdi and the others hurriedly dodged to the side, but when they turned around, they didn't see Lin Yi.

After the Qingyi disciple passed, Lin Yi slowly walked out from behind the incense candle case.

"Senior Brother Lin, it's gone in a blink of an eye, and I'm looking for you!" Jiang Fangdi asked curiously.

Lin Yi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The little brother is here, why should Brother Jiang look for it!"

Jiang Fangdi laughed, secretly saying that he was really dazzled. didn't know that Lin Yi was now deliberately avoiding these inner disciples. Almost every time you encounter these people, you have to give birth to some incidents, so it's better to avoid them early!

The few people continued to wander around the market, and when they walked past the tea shed where they had spent the last time they had stayed with Wen Lun, the firewood was closed. Lin Yi glanced at it attentively, and couldn't help but think of Jin Kelai in his heart. This Jin Gongzi and Young Master Jin have followed the carpentry every day, and they have not gone out of the mountain gate at all for several months, and they are as well-behaved as cats. That's not bad, at least save your life.

The last time he was separated from him, Lin Yi also wanted to know some secret things through Jinke. Seeing that his obedient temperament had changed greatly, and he didn't care about the disputes in the rivers and lakes, he left this matter behind.

After leaving the Tianlong Sect by himself, this Jin Ke will definitely be in a good mood.

After wandering around the market for half an hour, the group turned around. On the way back, Xu Yue always walked by Lin Yi's side, intentionally or unintentionally, and her good-looking eyes were always full of questions.

What the question was, Lin Yi didn't think much about it. He was secretly glad that what he had been worried about had taken a turn for the better!

After dinner, Han Jilai beckoned Lin Yi and the four of them to stand by in front of the villa.

When the four of them came to the front of the Foreign Affairs Hall Villa, they were already crowded, rubbing shoulders, I am afraid that the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall are all here.

Lin Yi and the others crowded behind the side, and saw from a distance in front of the villa, dozens of large lanterns more than one person high were lined up, and the distance and near were reflected in the sky.

On a high platform made of wooden tables, a figure swayed.

Lin Yi had never seen this formation, and Wen Lun on the side was empathetic and spoke in his ear.

Lin Yicai understood that this was the winter solstice to congratulate the teacher's "He Changzhi", and the lanterns that slipped away were also all night long, asking for a fortune for the coming year.

After a while, a person walked up on the high platform, it was the white-faced wooden steward, who shouted: "Silence!" The audience was immediately dumbfounded. Next on the stage was Elder Ma, along with four disciples, holding a huge portrait in their hands. Then Elder Ma said it, what is the winter solstice yang qi, the monarch is long, so congratulations. Finally, incense is offered and the portrait is worshipped.

The disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall bowed down together, and Lin Yi could only kneel down with Hu Wan and the others.

Again: "Licheng-" All the disciples got up one after another, and after a fluttering sound, dust rose everywhere. Laughter and complaints are endless.

As soon as Lin saw that everyone was scattered, he wanted to go back, but was grabbed by Wen Lun and followed Hu Wan and Shen Ding forward.

It wasn't until he came to the Charter Peak that Wen Lun pretended to be mysterious and said, "You'll know later!"

Lin Yi looked around, almost all the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall came, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

Crowded in the crowd, Lin Yi followed everyone and looked at the halfway point of Charter Peak.

Not long after, with an exclamation, dozens of huge bonfires were ignited instantly, and the flames that soared into the sky burst out a few feet high, illuminating clearly in mid-air, and under the charter peak, it was as bright as day.

There was another burst of cheers, on the mountain peak like a meteor dragging the ground, nine fire dragons descended, each fire dragon was about three zhang long, I don't know what it was made of, the flames on the dragon's body burst into flames, and the disciples under the dragon were holding their hands high, galloping down at high speed, dragging into a giant dragon four or five zhang long, which was a grand sight.

Lin Yi was slightly taller than ordinary people, crowded in the crowd, but he could see it clearly. Under the dragon are nine inner disciples, holding the long dragon that ignites the fire, performing light skills, galloping, but not afraid of being burned by the fire. It's just that the nine disciples under the dragon are not strangers.

Of the nine people, Lin Yi recognized eight people. They are the head disciple and the elder disciple. One of them was born, and Lin Yi had never seen it. Another person made him frown.

This person was Mu Qing'er, who was also holding a fire dragon and speeding down from the mountain peak.

These disciples should be the leaders of the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. From the length of the fire dragon, you can see the level of each person's light work. The fire dragons of Qin Ren and Ji Tang carried the wind, and their momentum was extraordinary and eye-catching. Mu Qing'er's fire dragon is smaller.

Nine dragons roared down, circling around nine bonfires, nine huge rings of fire appeared at the foot of the mountain, the bonfires in the ring of fire were blazing, like nine dragons holding pearls, the momentum was immense.

Not far from the bonfire, the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the elders stood at the stand.

"Qing'er, this kid is naughty!" Elder Xue complained to Mu Tiancheng, but his eyes were full of joy when he looked at the small fire dragon.

Mu Tiancheng stroked his beard lightly and smiled: "My Mu Tiancheng's daughter doesn't let her eyebrows, hehe!"

Elder Ma on the side said: "Qing'er's qualifications should be the most outstanding among these disciples, and in time, he will definitely be better than the blue!"

Mu Tiancheng chuckled and said, "Elder Ma praised it falsely, this girl is greedy and capricious, but fortunately, she is always vigilant with her, so that she can restrain herself!" After a slight groan, he asked again: "The Green Dragon Festival is coming, how are you prepared?"

"Don't worry, everything is ready!" Elder Ma replied.

That's good, my Tianlong Sect can't be insulted! Mu Tiancheng's eyes flashed slightly.

The bonfire crackled, and the flames burned like a sword into the night sky.

The nine rings of fire circled for a long time, as if they exploded suddenly, and suddenly they merged, and the nine fire dragons converged into one place, ending in a sharp whirl, surrounding an even greater ring of fire.

In an instant, the sudden change protruded, with the nine people under the dragon roaring in unison, the nine fire dragons jumped into the air, and the flames were splashing in all directions, like a frightened dragon unloading its armor, if the flying dragon was in the sky, like nine dragons gathering the sun.

The Nine Dragons gathered together in mid-air, with a loud bang, bursting with dazzling light——!

The majestic momentum of the nine fire dragons, the magnificent and spectacular scene, is breathtaking!

The disciples in the audience cheered in unison, which was deafening!
