Chapter Seventy-Three: Let's Set Off Firecrackers

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone celebrates the New Year, lighting firecrackers and lighting red lights, this custom has existed since ancient times, and it is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

According to legend, there is a beast in the mountain, its name is Xi, it has four horns and four legs, the body is huge, and the sex is vicious. At the end of the year, when the snow covers the mountains, they haunt the mortal world and feed on people. The people are very afraid, at the end of each year, help the old and the young into the bamboo forest and avoid, the night beast rags all night, up to the Dan and return, in the long run, the people are unbearable, but there is no way to deal with it, and avoid each other for many years.

Heaven took pity on the people's grievances, and descended to the gods to save the people, and the gods incarnated as a child, calling themselves Nian. When the night beast made trouble, the year shone the night beast with a red light, and frightened it with the sound of a bamboo explosion. The night beast was afraid, and the wolf bรจi fled. Since then, when the surname of the world has reached the end of the year, every family hangs red lights and red paper, and sets off firecrackers to drive away the night beast, and the night beast has no longer abused the world, and the custom of New Year's greetings has also been worn down from that time.

Over time, these behaviors developed into customs, and hanging red whips evolved into prayers for good fortune and safety. However, these are just legends after all, and it is not known whether the beast exists, and the purpose of the legend is more to express people's hopes and wishes for the victory over evil.

At this time, the legendary things are clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes, which gives people a feeling of absurdity and overwhelm. Although they looked at each other, they could not say anything to refute it, because when all the factors were combined, this seemingly impossible reason became the only possibility.

"Just give it a try, even if it doesn't work, there's no loss. Long Jing looked around at everyone and said firmly.

"Good. Yan Yang replied simply, and after speaking, he ran to find firecrackers.

There are many varieties of firecrackers in the Southern Song Dynasty, no less than 100 kinds, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, you can hear the sound of thousands of firecrackers one after another. Everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, walking the rivers and lakes are used to it, in the past the New Year was just a feast, more in the run, this day for them, is really not much different from usual, because they do not pay much attention to these customs. However, some people are different, Wang Yuxin has been in business for five years after amnesia, and businessmen pay more attention to auspiciousness and Caitou, so he is very particular about these customs every year, and he has purchased a lot of New Year's goods early, and firecrackers are an indispensable one.

Yan Yang went to get firecrackers, and the others also acted separately, and they took red paper and red candles one after another, these things were also purchased by Wang Yuxin, and he was sad to leave Desheng Building, so he also prepared a lot in one go. These things are spoiled by Du Zhu, and he is looking forward to the end of the New Year so that he can collect these things as rags in his own rags.

"What should I do next?" Jiang Fo looked at the red paper firecrackers all over the ground and was a little dazed, these children of the rivers and lakes were really quite blank in this regard.

"The red light was lit and hung under the eaves, and the red paper was pasted on the doors and windows. Zhang Tianhong glanced at the pile of things on the ground and began to command.

Although everyone didn't know how to do it, after having a command, their action power was first-class, and after looking at each other, they went their separate ways.

It didn't take a moment to get ready, and during this time, Liu Le's piano sound has not stopped, but the tone is getting more and more urgent, although everyone doesn't understand music, they can also hear that Liu Le consumes a lot.

Rhythm is the essence of the piece that needs to be in harmony with the mood in order to fully play the music, but no matter what kind of performance, the most important thing is to calm the mind, only by calming down can the spirit in the music be in harmony, and the more freely played, the more slowly, from this point of view, Liu Le's character is really difficult to reach the supreme state of rhythm.

But it is also strange to say that although Liu Le is talkative, as soon as she touches her piano, her temperament will change sharply, she will be calm and elegant, and she will be completely quiet, which may be a talent, and it is precisely because of this that her master has high hopes for her and composed a three-stop movement for her. But now Liu Le is a little quiet, the huge consumption makes her already bad control of the sound wave obviously disordered, in order to effectively restrain the sound wave, Liu Le can only speed up the speed of the bounce away, just like knocking over the water in the bottle, the more she wants to take it back, the more counterproductive.

The slightest disorder in the sound of the piano, everyone heard it clearly, the so-called art industry has a specialization, although they don't understand the rhythm of the beginning and end, but they can judge from the breath that Liu Le has begun to struggle. They all understand that it is not that Liu Le is too weak, but that Wang Yuxin is too strong, if he wants to suppress such a cultivator, although he has found his weakness, he must also have a very high cultivation to do it, and Liu Le obviously has some gaps now.

Glancing at Liu Le worriedly, Yan Yangfei got on the roof, pressed one hand on Liu Le's vest, gently crossed a few internal breaths, and said softly: "Xiaole, hold on a little longer, we have found a way, you can rest for a while." โ€

Yan Yang's true qi passed through Liu Le's body, Liu Le breathed a sigh of relief, his hands did not stop, and he nodded slightly. Although she was preoccupied with stroking the qin, she also saw the actions of the people, what they were going to do in the way of nature.

And Yan Yang is actually cheering for Liu Le, they don't know if this method from superstition and legends will work, but even if it works, it will take time for them, if it doesn't work, and Liu Le can't persevere, then that effort will be in vain.

Seeing that Liu Le understood, Yan Yang gestured to the people below.

Everyone received the signal, lit the firecrackers in their hands together, and smashed them directly towards Wang Yuxin, and at the same time, Liu Le pressed down with both hands at the same time, and the sonorous piano sound came to an abrupt end, leaving only a wisp of residual sound far away.

stopped playing, Liu Le's body leaned on Yan Yang's body weakly, sweat on his forehead like rain, panting like a cow. Yan Yang looked at Liu Le's pale cheeks distressedly, and the true qi in his hand continued to input into Liu Le's body, helping her to recover as much as possible.

Although Liu Le's piano sound stopped, but during this time she played a great role, Wang Yuxin was trapped in the room, covering her ears with her hands, and there was no longer the slightest appearance of recklessness, the whole person curled up by the wall, buried her head deep in her chest, trying to escape the influence of Liu Le's sound waves. But the efforts were in vain, and the pervasive sound kept stimulating Wang Yuxin's nerves, and for a moment, Wang Yuxin's consciousness was a little awake, but he was instantly pressed back by the powerful demonic power.

It's just that suppression is not a subduing after all, Liu Le can restrain Wang Yuxin after the demon transformation, but he still hasn't completely woken him up, if Liu Le's strength is strong enough, he can succeed if he persists until the effect of the magic transformation automatically subsides, but she is already at the end of the crossbow, and now she can only see if everyone's firecracker tricks can make a contribution.

With everyone's strength and accuracy, it was difficult to miss at such a close distance, and dozens of firecrackers smashed on Wang Yuxin at the same time.

After the invention of gunpowder, people wrapped gunpowder in paper and connected the two sides with a lead, which became the firecrackers at that time. Under the continuous research of people, there were already firecrackers with various effects such as single ring, double ring, and continuous ringing, and the firecrackers thrown by everyone to Wang Yuxin were varied.

Everyone's secret weapon skills are quite high, and the firecrackers used the wind to accelerate the burning of the lead during the flight, and when they hit Wang Yuxin, they happened to detonate, and for a while, the crackling sound continued, and the explosion echoed in the hall, increasing the momentum.

This explosion was really amazing, the entire Desheng Building was shaking slightly, and the smoke from the explosion enveloped Wang Yuxin. Through the heavy smoke, everyone stared at Wang Yuxin nervously, everyone's eyesight is good, even in the smoky environment, they can see much more clearly than ordinary people, Wang Yuxin still maintains a state of curling, and I don't know what effect this round of firecracker offensive has produced.

Kang Xingyu suddenly pointed at Wang Yuxin and shouted, "He's injured." Kang Xingyu mainly attacked hidden weapons, and his eyesight was the best among everyone, he stared at it and found that drops of blood were dripping down Wang Yuxin's arm.

Kang Xingyu's shout woke everyone up, and after the smoke cleared slightly, they also discovered Wang Yuxin's injuries one after another, Wang Yuxin's left eye was dripping with blood, and his clothes were also torn and burned. Seeing this, everyone's spirits couldn't help but be for a while, they were suppressed all night, and finally saw some results. Although Wang Yuxin's injuries were not serious, it showed a problem, when he exploded, he didn't have time to take care of himself, he didn't mobilize his true qi, and he didn't even protect himself, which means that the sound of firecrackers did have an impact on him.

Seeing this scene, everyone didn't hesitate, and grabbed firecrackers and threw them at Wang Yuxin, without thinking about hurting him. The strength of everyone is still the same, and the accuracy is still the same, but this time those firecrackers burst together in mid-air, with a bang, and the fire suddenly appeared, followed by gunsmoke. After all, there was not much gunpowder in the firecrackers, and the smoke of gunpowder dispersed quickly, and before everyone could react to what happened, a wave pierced through the gunpowder smoke and hit everyone.

This fluctuation rolls up the smoke that has not dissipated, bringing a full visual effect. The reaction of everyone was also fast, and they immediately scattered when they had a premonition that something was wrong. Although the fluctuations came suddenly, they were not as fast as before, if Wang Yuxin was not hurt a lot, he launched it in a hurry.

After the crowd dispersed, the direction of the fluctuation did not change, and they rushed straight out, and finally hit a wall. The wall was hit with a huge force, and a large hole was punched, and the entire wall was sunken a little. It's just that the fluctuation is exhausted, crossing the entire house, and many things in the house will instantly turn into powder when they encounter Wang Yuxin's true qi, and the fluctuations will not dissipate until they hit another wall.

"My baby!" Shi Wei suddenly screamed at this time, and rushed towards the broken house with a heartache on his face.

This room that was broken by Wang Yuxin was the room that Shi Wei used to study poisons, and many of his medicinal materials were stored here, Wang Yuxin's hasty blow broke this room by coincidence, and also destroyed Shi Wei's medicine, no wonder Shi Wei was heartbroken.

Shi Wei's name doesn't matter, but it seems to have marked the direction for Wang Yuxin. Wang Yuxin was worried that he couldn't find a target to vent, so he hurriedly delivered a blow that didn't attack anyone, and he knew it clearly from the feedback from his true anger. At this time, when he heard the human voice, he raised his hand and went straight to Shi Wei's vest.

Seeing that his medicinal materials were destroyed, Shi Wei's mood was rarely agitated, the things in the house took a lot of his effort, and there were a few very rare poisons, these are all that, there is a kind of spar called Xizi tears is the most rare, this thing can only be found at the bottom of the West Lake, although there is no toxicity, it is the best fusion agent for poison, very precious.

Shi Wei shouted selflessly, he didn't feel anything, but the others immediately knew that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it, Kang Xingyu didn't think about it, and turned his hand into the meteor style, and dozens of chess pieces flew towards Shi Wei's legs. As soon as Kang Xingyu threw out the chess piece, he caught a glimpse of a wave chasing Shi Wei out of the corner of his eye.

That fluctuation comes first, it seems that he must hit the target first than the chess piece, and Shi Wei is in danger.

Today the wind is beautiful, the sun is shining, and the beautiful weather reflects my mood - not good

Alas, it is difficult to write ten thousand words, and it is not enough to sigh empty
