In May, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Not far from the vast Maoshui Canal, stands a city.

This is Chunyang City.

Outside the city of Chunyang, to the west, there is a large flat land with sparse green willows.

There were a lot of people gathered there, and they seemed to be building some kind of high platform, and adults and children were busy working together, moving tables, carrying dustpans, and supporting stalls......

Outside the flat land is the canal, and the river beach is lined with rows of bamboo poles, and there are many lanterns and colorful notes hanging on them.

More than a dozen middle-aged women decorate the soft sand, and barefoot children chase crabs and turtles.

It's not just people outside the city who are busy, but the city is just as lively. Red lanterns are hung in every house, and beautiful red paper cutouts are pasted on the doors.

The soldiers on patrol were infected by the joyous atmosphere, and occasionally helped to hang up the lanterns and hand them over.

I didn't know how to find Ao Yan, so Mu Qingyun had to book a room first.

It's like the New Year, and when I inquired with the shopkeeper, I learned that today happened to be the Lantern Festival in Chunyang City.

The Lantern Festival is generally held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and this place is unique.

Every year, the government will also prepare a large number of fireworks for the people, which is extremely rare.

......

In the noise outside, it was dark before I knew it.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded the beginning of the event.

Mu Qingyun stood in front of the window and looked out, and people gathered on the cross street in the city. The fawn lay on the edge of the window, and also stretched out its head, its big watery eyes full of curiosity, and a little wistful swinging hooves.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and I saw Xiao Er standing a little impatiently.

"What's the matter?" Mu Qingyun asked.

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Childe, the lantern parade is about to start, our lantern festival here is lively! The shopkeeper said that you are the first to come back, let me tell you that you are interested, and we will go and see it together!"

"Thanks, I'll go back later. ”

"Okay, there's more people later, you need to hurry!"

With that, Xiao Er ran away in a hurry.

Turning his head to look at the deer, Mu Qingyun hesitated.

This deer was born very beautifully, and I don't know how many people coveted it along the way, and this person was crowded on the street, and he was afraid that he would be taken away if he was not careful.

The fawn obviously wanted to go out and join in the fun, jumping up to him and rubbing his head against him.

After thinking about it, he picked it up.

......

The crossroads are long and wide, and the four roads are crowded with people, from octogenarians on crutches to babies in their arms, all waiting for the parade of colored lights.

Soon there was a deafening shouting and commotion from the streets on the left and right, followed by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

Two groups of people dressed in colorful colors came dancing dragons and phoenixes, followed by a long list of birds, beasts, and the shape of flowers.

Mu Qingyun stood on a roof with a deer in his arms.

There were so many people down there that he didn't want to be crowded with them.

The fawn restlessly tried to break free, and pleaded to the ground.

He shook his head, put it down, and whether it understood or not, pressed its body and admonished, "Don't run around." ”

Then he straightened up again and looked at the beautiful lanterns that were gradually converging in the main path.

Suddenly, a pair of hands gently wrapped around his neck, and the rich fragrance instantly lingered around him.

An unforgettable, beautiful voice whispered in my ears: "Remember." ”

Mu Qingyun was shocked, how could he not remember this voice!

In an instant, he turned into a purple mang and fled from her side in a hurry.

"Ao Yan. He stared at her, his right hand already gripping the hilt of the sword.

The fawn looked a little strange, and actually fell at her feet and trembled, and did not dare to move.

Ao Yan was a little surprised, looked at the deer and said with a smile: "It is worthy of you, you actually subdued a Langyue Immortal Deer." I didn't expect such immortal beasts to appear in the human world, your luck is really as good as ever......"

Mu Qingyun didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and asked directly, "What is the purpose of you calling me here?" ”

"Naturally, it's ...... to see the lights on"

Ao Yan slowly approached him.

His body was imprisoned by her unconsciously, and he couldn't move in the slightest.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, I won't kill you. She turned his body to the street, gently leaned over him from behind, and embraced him.

She was much taller than him, and she could only bend down slightly to reach his ear, and said faintly: "With your current 'Heavenly Dao', you can't escape from my control, so it's better to calm down and accompany me......"

"What are you talking about......

He couldn't believe it, and he tried to look back at her, but he couldn't see her hidden behind his face.

"That's what you told me. ”

Ao Yan's smile was terrifying from the bottom of her heart, and her arms hugged him tighter.

"What do you mean, what do you still know!" Mu Qingyun exclaimed coldly.

"Shhh ”

Ao Yan pressed her chin against the top of his head and watched with interest as the people on the main street danced happily with various lanterns.

......

Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.

Red lanterns are hung everywhere in Chunyang City, and a strong sense of joy fills this ancient city.

The main street is lit up with large lanterns, and there are dragon and lion dances around.

It's very lively.

At the imperceptible corner of the roof, two figures stood silently, and the moon-white fawn lay obediently beside them.

Being held so without scruples, Mu Qingyun felt warm and comfortable.

Her seemingly slender and thin body is secretly plump.

For some reason, there was gradually an inexplicable sense of relief.

"Ao Yan......" he called in a low voice.

"Huh?" she replied nonchalantly.

"Did we know each other before......" he frowned, wondering why he had such a ridiculous doubt.

Ao Yan squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Then why are you...... Tease me like that. Halfway through his speech, he used the word 'teasing' after a little consideration.

"Maybe it's because you're like him. She laughs.

"Who is he, the immortal who suppressed you?" he asked.

At this moment, a light rose from outside the city.

'Bang'

A brilliant firework exploded in the night.

In the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, several fireworks burst into flames one after another.

"It's time to set off fireworks!" she hurriedly let go of him.

The body can move!

But his hand was immediately grabbed by her.

The next moment, even the people and the deer disappeared in place.

......

Outside the city, too, there are crowds.

The flat ground is full of stalls selling all kinds of snacks and small items.

Miscellaneous, entertainers, and even several fortune tellers, they all want to take advantage of today's crowds to make a lot of money.

And on the banks of the river, there are strings attached to those bamboo poles, and rows of exquisite lanterns are hung.

Most of the people here are young people.

Poetry is a guess of the lantern riddle, which has been an elegant thing since ancient times.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Qingyun and Ao Yan appeared in a slightly secluded place on the river beach, and before they could react, he was pulled by Ao Yan and walked towards the place where they complemented each other.

Colorful fireworks light up the night sky.

Amidst the crowds and thousands of amazed eyes, they walked past the stalls, large and small, and tasted every snack.

Same as ordinary people.

They looked at the physiognomy and told their fortunes.

They made miserable candy men and calligraphy and paintings.

He also put down prayer lamps in the river.

I also lingered among the rows of flower cages.

also stopped under the stage and applauded in unison with everyone.

As she played everywhere, Mu Qingyun's heart gradually relaxed.

He was even more curious about the high-minded and moody woman in front of him.

Ao Yan suddenly stopped in front of a stall.

She picked up a jade hairpin, looked at it a few times, stretched it out in front of his eyes, and said, "I want this." ”

He looked at her strangely and said, "You want me to pay?"

"Why, don't want to?" she leaned down and looked at him, her smile was cold, and she said softly, "Do you want to die?"

Sure enough, she is still arrogant and arrogant in her bones.

Frowning, he asked the stall owner, "How much is the thing in her hand?" ”

Didn't get an answer.

The stall owner was looking at Ao Yan in a daze, as if he was so fascinated that he forgot the existence of the people around him.

Ao Yan's smile faded.

Eyes as beautiful as ruby only glanced at each other, and howls of fear exploded through the crowd.

The stall owner suddenly screamed madly and hid behind the stall with his head in his hands.

"It looks like he can't do business today. ”

The crowd gradually surrounded, and Ao Yan threw down the hairpin and left first.

Follow her to a high slope.

Mu Qingyun said in a deep voice: "Why do you bother with an ordinary person. ”

Ao Yan sneered: "It's forgiving that you didn't gouge out his eyeballs, but you...... I don't seem to mind at all. ”

"What do I need to mind?" Mu Qingyun was puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm going to leave for a while, you go over there and pack me a no-one painting boat and wait." ”

As she spoke, Ao Yan threw a purple jade block to him.

"I am not your servant. He threw the purple jade back to her.

She looked down at him and said, "Don't you want to figure out why I know about Qinghui Daozang?"

He was silent, and that was a hard excuse to refuse.

"Go ahead. She sneered and threw the purple jade over.

He glanced at her, pinched the purple jade, and said, "What is this?" ”

"An ordinary immortal treasure used to access things, listen to the tricks. ”

"Wait!" he interrupted her and asked, "Are you lying to me again?" ”

"Do you know how many taels of silver it costs to wrap up a boat?" she asked rhetorically.

He shook his head.

"This purple jade is a space of its own, and there is some money in it, which is taken out with divine thoughts. Now stop talking nonsense and listen to the trick to turn it on. ”

......

Outside the city of Chunyang.

In a lush woods.

Ao Yan appeared out of thin air.

She stood with her hands in her hands, and shouted softly to the half-figured forest, "Get out." ”

"Aren't you happy today, can't you be kind to me? ”

A slightly shrill voice was playful, and then a figure of white light came out from behind the tree.

"Don't waste my time, give you a breath to explain what you mean. Ao Yan said with a serious face.

"We're old friends for thousands of years, and you know the truth back then, why don't you even give me a little face now?" said the white light figure angrily.
