The setting sun dyes the sky with golden clouds and purple mist, and the mist is red. Lin Ning looked out from the side hall and saw that the people in the palace in the hall had already brought flowers and fruit wine to the table.

And the dancers are also ready to present the most beautiful dance for the monks from Lingshan, in exchange for peace and abundance for Loulan.

Someone from the palace came to spread the word that the king and the dignitaries were about to arrive, and asked everyone to do the final inspection so as not to make any mistakes.

Lin Ning thought this perspective was quite interesting. Because she generally played the role of a guest in her previous life or in this life, she never seemed to think about how many staff members had put their heart and soul into the banquet she attended.

Is it the guest who is only responsible for eating, drinking, and watching the performance that he is the host of the banquet, or is it the person behind the scenes who takes care of everything is the host of the banquet?

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ning's mouth, things in the world are often so interesting.

Jin Wuxi hangs, and the lights are on.

The glow of the wax torch shines through the thousands of colorful glass lamps, illuminating the palace as if it were day.

The guests of the banquet are gradually arriving. First the ministers, and then the relatives of the emperor, greeted each other warmly before the banquet began.

In anticipation, the king and his entourage finally arrived. Lin Ning's gaze turned and saw an elderly man wearing a richly decorated robe and a golden crown on his head. While laughing and talking with Hye-sun, he led a bunch of people over.

The two were followed by novices and royalty. The little princess, who looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was smiling skillfully with the mature queen, but her eyes kept looking in the direction of Huishan, with affection in her eyebrows.

Lin Ning was stunned, and he couldn't see that Huishan, a bald little monk, was quite popular.

Hye-sun didn't feel the princess's secret send-off at all, or felt it but didn't care, he was invited by the king to the high platform in front of the throne, and sat down behind the table next to the throne.

The guests of honor gathered, and the banquet officially began.

The king raised his wine glass and expressed his welcome to Huishan and his party in gorgeous words, and then a member of the palace walked to the side hall and whispered to the dancer: "It's time to get ready to play." ”

The lead dancer then lined up the dancers in two groups and entered from both sides of the palace.

Lin Ning is now wearing the dance clothes specially made by the Loulan royal family for this banquet, along with other backup dance partners. The golden bell tinkles, the light gauze wraps around the shoulder, and it is said that this dance costume is made according to the image of flying in the Buddhist scriptures.

When the guests of honor are seated, the drums beat.

Occasionally, the sound of the pipa, the sound of the sheng flute and the silk bamboo, the sound of the golden iron horse in the music, and the clear bell ringing for a long time, the Buddha nature of life.

Lin Ning and the dancers flew in their dresses and floated in.

The drums beat and the bells fade. The plucking of the pipa gradually became more and more rapid, and the sound of the drum that smashed on the heart of a person made the breath burn instantly.

The dancer's footsteps are on the drum, and each drum beat corresponds to a spin. As the drums beat faster and faster, the streamers on the dancers flew up in the air, like clouds, like flowing water, intertwined and entangled.

The drum beat stopped abruptly, and the sheng flute gradually rose. In a trance, you can see the lonely smoke of the desert, desolate and magnificent. The ribbons of the dancers are intertwined in the air to form a gauze tent, and the outer knees are leaned back, the slender necks and arms form a beautiful arc, and the fingertips bloom into lotus flowers.

The sound of the pipa rises again, like the golden autumn season, the melons and fruits are fragrant, and the rhythm is cheerful. Metallic percussion is added to bring a brisk vibe.

The dancers hold their shawls above their heads, weaving them into a platform. The lead dancer flutters and spins on a platform made of silk and satin, and the shawl in her hand is longer than that of any dancer, and the dance is like a thousand-armed Guanyin, which is jaw-dropping.

All the instruments played together at this time, and the song came to an end. As the last drum beat stopped, there was silence. Only the dancers seem to be out of gravity, holding up the posture of leading the dancer to fly into the sky, quietly engraved into people's eyes.

After the dance, the dancers take a curtain call.

The guests whispered at this time, and all of them had shocked looks on their faces. The Western Regions are not as good as the Eastern Regions, and in the eyes of Han tradition, dance and music have always been the last skill to entertain people. The environment and folk customs of the Western Regions determine that dance and music are part of people's lives.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people of the Western Regions, the status of dancers and musicians is higher. Lin Ning also experienced different things after this time.

No matter what it is, as long as you focus to the extreme, you can get out of your own way. The most important thing is a sincerity. Just like the lead dancer's understanding of dance, Lin Ning felt that it was already close to the Tao.

Even though these dancers may not be able to ascend to the immortal path in their lifetime, in terms of comprehension of the Dao, Lin Ning still has a lot to learn from them.

Lin Ning followed the dancers to the side hall, and saw that everyone's eyes were full of joy, obviously very happy that the performance could be so successful.

Lin Ning was also very happy, but now she had to go.

She found a hidden corner, put Alia's clothes back on in the space, and lifted Alia's coma and placed it in a place where the dancers could easily find it.

And she herself put on a shadow night walking suit, and under the cover of the spell of the word "hidden", she blended into the vast night outside the palace.

Lin Ning's divine sense was dispersed, and he was under the dual protection of the invisibility of the "hidden" word spell and the hidden breath of the "water" word incantation.

She was on the way for Hye-sun and the king to leave, clinging to the ceiling of the corridor, quiet as a bat.

Lin Ning was confident that her body would never be discovered by Hui Shan, and under the investigation of her divine sense, there was no one in the entire palace who cultivated higher than Hui Shan.

She didn't know if this level of disguise could hide from Miaofa Hualian's eyes, if she could, it would be good, even if it didn't, Lin Ning could completely fool the past on the grounds that she was young and playful.

She herself has always been low-key, few people know her in the Eastern Regions, and not many people know her. And her age is her best disguise, how can the Western Regions know if she really sneaked into the palace on a whim.

Thinking quietly about his thoughts like this, after waiting for about half an hour, Lin Ning saw Huishan and King Loulan walking out of the banquet hall side by side, and walked all the way back along the corridor where Lin Ning was staying.

Lin Ning's figure also moved in an instant, walking in the shadows like a puff of green smoke, without making the slightest sound.

If someone can observe Lin Ning at this moment closely, they will find that her figure seems to melt into the evening breeze, and her toes step on the blades of grass, and the blades of grass will not leave creases. There were not half footprints left in the place where they passed, as if they had never passed.

The king and Huishan came together to a domed hall made of white marble, which seemed to be the residence of the king of Loulan. The two opened the door and walked in, Lin Ning slipped in sideways before the door closed, and teleported to hide in the shadows.

The king walked up to a statue of a peacock and flicked one of the peacock's tail feathers, and the wall behind the peacock slid silently, revealing a small door through which one could pass.
