Chapter 21: Shangyuan Festival (2)
The black light waves above the small tripod rise and fall like a tide, and occasionally the sound of the beautiful water flow "whooshing". Lan'er, the little girl who discovered this rule, named it "Tidal Ding". "Tidal Ding, Tidal Ding......" Lan'er shouted happily to Xiao Ding. As if in response to her, Xiao Ding's surface made a "whoosh" sound between the light waves.
After Yuwenshuang had lunch in Wanbao Zhai, he followed Zhang Lan, the big shopkeeper of Hengfeng Pawnshop, to the branch of Weidong Commercial Bank in Shuangyue City - Fucui Garden. In the garden, there is a cold and cold residence - "Warm Pavilion" is not too far away, in a four-story small building called "Roland Courtyard". Yuwen Changfeng, Leng Lie, Yun Jin, the master of the Hundred Refining Pavilion Elixir Peak, and Zhang Hanfeng, a scattered cultivator, were already sitting in the reception room on the second floor drinking spiritual tea.
After Zhang Lan and the two entered the house, Yuwen Changfeng spoke first: "The matter is very important, please ask Leng Ye to give you a brief explanation of the situation in Nanqian Liannuma Village again." ”
He coughed lightly twice, his face was pale and cold, and he said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoists, Leng is entrusted by Old Man Yuwen and Venerable Leng to give you a brief explanation of the Nanqian War and the current situation. As he spoke, Leng Lie briefly told everyone about the offensive and defensive battles of several large stores in Weidong Commercial Bank in Liannuma Village, as well as the fighting methods of several people on Jiuding Peak.
Hearing Leng Li's description, the faces of several people became more and more serious. Especially Yu Wenshuang and Zhang Lan, who learned the news for the first time, fell into deep thought. But seeing Yuwenshuang's good-looking willow eyebrows frowning slightly, Zhang Lan's wonderful eyes were full of shock, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "Listening to what Leng Ye said, the younger generation has not only analyzed the battle situation of Nanqian Liannum Village, coupled with the current situation in Shuangyue City, it can be seen that the current Broadsword Sect has at least formed an alliance with the Hehuan Sect, the Yin Sect, and the Water Venerable of the Weidong Commercial Bank. Judging from the battle between Lian Nu Zhai and Jiuding Peak Zhurongtai, under the situation that our side has the advantage, several great monks on the other side have never shown up, and the five monks on the other side of the battle of Zhurongtai are called Baishan, which is really a test of reality. After learning the exact news that the old man and Venerable Leng were both in Nanqian, the other side did not take advantage of our alliance to start a war and take back control of the shops in Lian Nuan Village, so the big picture of the other side's plan can be seen. After speaking, Zhang Lan looked in the direction where Leng Lie was.
Leng Yan glanced at the soundproofing prohibition in the room, and after looking around at everyone, he said with a serious expression: "What the second young lady said just now is probably consistent with the judgment of the 'old man' and the 'Venerable Leng'. We think that the other party is really a drunkard, and the intention is in the Sichuan Sea Continent, in Shuangyue City.
The two great monks also proposed to pay special attention to the evil young man who had fought fiercely with Yuwen Second Master before, and most of the 'Mandarin Duck Concentric Ring Magic Weapon' he used was refined with one of the three fundamental life feathers of the ninth-level demon cultivator of the Phoenix clan in the bitter cold land of the extreme north. It is because he should have a great relationship with the Phoenix clan.
In recent years, some people in the Phoenix clan have advanced to the realm of the unfinished period, and they have quietly made contact with the Broadsword Gate and other parties. For this matter, we have gone to the aid of the great wisdom monk of Lian Nuan Village, and sent a message back to Hanyu Temple to report to the great holy monk to know. I believe that the Hanyu Temple will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, so as to live up to their mission of guarding the Phoenix clan in a remote corner of the bitter cold place for many years. After speaking, Leng Lie took a sip of the cold spiritual tea, covered his mouth and coughed softly. His face was pale and tired, as if what he had just said had consumed a great deal of his energy.
In the shattered world inside the ice thorn, it is still full of spring, and it is not contaminated with a little chill because of the bitter cold weather outside. At this moment, the distant mountains of Rudai are in the thick mist, which looks extraordinarily smooth. And a few small fish about an inch long frolicked happily in the newly rising stream. The half-withered tree in the courtyard of Listening to Yuxuan was already full of vitality at this moment. The tree was irrigated by the Fountain of the Spiritual Eye, which was not far away, and pulled out a few new branches. The ice-blue flames burning above the trunk of the tree are becoming more and more vigorous at this moment.
At this moment, Zhao Yingluo is holding the 'Tidal Ding' in his hand, and his body is covered with a light blue blister with ripples - the prison of water, and he uses the art of earth escape to walk through the dirt in the backyard of Wanbao Zhai. When he stopped in the middle of the earth and performed the technique of breathing, this secret technique was blessed by the prison of water, and even if the divine mind was as powerful as Lan'er, it was not easy to detect his location.
After many years of practice, he has preliminarily mastered the two great powers of 'Water Prison' and 'Servant of the Sea Summoner'. The passive magic skill of the 'Water Prison', which is an anti-heaven bonus to the effect of the Breath Gathering Technique, is his focus on practicing, after all, this technique can greatly improve his chances of escaping when facing opponents whose Dao cultivation is significantly higher than his own.
The full moon of the fifteenth hung high in the distant sky, in the quaint and rugged building complex of Lian Nu Village, with the bright moonlight, stepping on the rough stone slabs, Leng Manyun and Yuwen Shuoyue, who walked through the streets and alleys, both produced a sense of emptiness and loneliness to varying degrees in the depths of their hearts.
Especially Yuwen Shuoyue, who has a low cultivation, after taking a deep breath of cold air and forcibly suppressing the loneliness and restlessness in his heart, he habitually held the left hand of the woman next to him, this action looks so familiar and natural.
Leng Manyun's left hand instinctively exerted a slight force, and after he didn't break free, he let him do it like this. There was a hint of imperceptible joy hidden in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and after a long time, she said slowly: "The folk customs of the Nanqian Continent are simple, and even the swamp village is a place where the two major races of demons and demons live together with a group of foreign races. After the contact and integration of various ethnic traditions and cultures, in Nanqian, especially Liannuma Village, a situation of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending has gradually formed. The enthusiasm of the demon clan, the subtle euphemism of human beings, the calm atmosphere of the rock clan, and the weird and mysterious ...... , in tonight's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, it will be vividly displayed. ”
On the shore of Yingyue Lake in Shuangyue City on the Sichuan Sea Continent, Zhao Yingluo is shuttling in the sea of lanterns with Yuwenshuang, Lan'er, and Zhang Lan. The lights swaying in the wind are reflected on the surface of the lake. Reflecting the faces of a group of young men and women, talented and beautiful women, there is a hazy beauty.
Among the three daughters, Lan'er prefers various styles of lanterns, including historical figures, myths and legends, and ...... of the Talented and Beautiful Woman series. At this moment, what the little girl and a group of men and women huddled together to watch is a good story passed down from old age in the Sichuan Sea Continent.
This lantern group is a group of 15, all of which are rectangular in size, each with as many as four sides. On the sealing paper on each side of the lantern, a beautiful picture is sketched with ink.
When the four sides of the lantern gently rotate around the central axis, it quietly tells a touching love story. The four sides of a lantern can carry a limited number of story pictures, so in order to completely restore this story, the current group of lanterns always has as many as one of them.
Zhao Yingluo and Yu Wenshuang stood on the periphery of the crowd, their eyes falling on the ink painting of the first lantern at the moment. A scholar with a delicate face, dressed plainly and neatly, carrying a book basket that is common among the writers and inkmen, coming from distant mountains and rivers.
As the lantern swung gently in the wind, he was already aware of the other three sides of the lantern. I saw that the scholar came to a high-gate compound with a tired face, and in front of this gate there were mighty stone lions and stout tethered horse stones. Above the main gate of the vermilion gate, rows of doornails the size of golden bowls shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun. On the eaves, there is a huge plaque hanging under the glazed tile, on which there is the word "Lin Fu".
"Let me tell you the story of 'chasing fish'. When Zhao Yingluo's gaze moved to the second lantern, Yuwen Shuang whispered in his ear, exhaling like an orchid.
