Chapter 71: Chapter 71: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance ([-])

Under the big ginkgo tree, men and women hold copper coins, string them with red threads, tie them into concentric knots, and throw them to the branches.According to the rules of Xuandu people offering sacrifices to God Zhike, if the two copper coins are hung on the tree once, they will be united forever; It is a good omen.

Nie Kongkong saw Li Chan looking at Zhike God in a daze from a distance, so he ran to buy a red thread from the sorceress, strung up two copper coins, and stuffed them into Sao Qingniang's hands, but Sao Qingniang shook her head and laughed, and just said don't make trouble .

Nie Kongkong secretly looked at Li Chan, but saw that Li Chan was just staring at the shrine, and he really didn't mean to worship God Zhike with Sao Qingniang.

Visitors came and went in front of the incense burner, but no one saw the Luotou who stretched his neck, and no one saw the sandalwood smoke from the incense burner lingering in the shrine to form a young man holding Ke. The young man looked terrified and shouted : "Where is the evildoer, dare to rush against the gods..."

Before he finished speaking, Luotou stretched his neck, opened his mouth and bit off half of the human figure condensed by the green smoke.God Zhike screamed, the marriage tree trembled violently, the red thread swayed, the copper coins collided, the tinkling sound continued, and a large number of copper coins fell to the ground, triggering another wave of tinkling bells.

People under the tree exclaimed, and Nie Kongkong also stayed where he was.She reacted suddenly, pulled up her pocket, and within a blink of an eye, she filled a half-jin of copper coins.Thinking of the rumors in the market, taking the money from the God of Zhike will lead to a lonely old age and the loss of children and grandchildren, so he quickly spilled the money and shouted: "Qing Niang, Qing Niang, Uncle, get out quickly! Uncle?"

But saw Li Chan standing in the rain of copper coins, motionless, just opened his mouth to spit.A strange blue light shot out, passed through the rain of copper coins, passed over the skirt of a woman who was flying while evading, and pierced into the pale neck of Luotoushi who was devouring the incense, and it was not stained with any blood when piercing. Flying several feet away, it quietly dissipated into the night.

At this time, Luo Toushi twisted his neck, and a flow of blood about a foot high flowed from the wound. Someone under the tree shouted: "Snake, there is a snake!"

When another person saw the head in front of the long neck, he was even more panic-stricken and ran away with hands and feet.

Crying and crying: "Monster, monster!"

Under the marriage tree, Nie Kongkong froze in place.

The Luotou shrieked and retracted her neck. She turned her head and scanned the crowd with vicious and terrified eyes.But in the rain of copper coins, the tourists ran in a panic, but couldn't tell the sneak attacker for a while.She had no time to stay, she held her head steady with both hands, and ran into the lane, her movements were stumbling, but her speed was astonishing.

Li Chan didn't catch up, but Xu Da jumped out of Sao Qingniang's arms.

The white cat quickly passed through the rioting crowd and leaped vigorously onto the roof of Washi City.It looked down at the endless stream of tourists and lights in the alleyway, stared closely at the woman with a strange figure, and stalked behind unhurriedly.

Not far away, a demon hunter was alarmed by the commotion.Li Chan walked into the crowd calmly, turned around, and became a bystander as if nothing had happened.

Sao Qingniang came to him, Li Chan said: "The last time I saw a demon walking in the Dao, it was outside Longwu Pass, it has been a few years."

Sao Qingniang said softly: "This Luotou clan not only doesn't cover up his behavior, but also kills the gods. This Zhike god is not good at fighting, but fortunately there is Shaolang, otherwise, the Luotou clan really succeeded. "

In two sentences, the four demon hunters rode to the marriage tree.

Li Chan turned and left. After walking a certain distance, the commotion was completely swallowed up by the excitement of the night.Tourists in the market chatted and laughed at Yan Yan, and there was the sound of gongs and drums not far away.

He murmured: "The demon atmosphere is getting stronger."

"Uncle, Uncle..." Nie Kong followed up panting, "Just now, what happened just now? A copper coin fell from a tree... That monster... Did you injure it?"

"Let's go, the Qionghua Puppet Show is starting over there." Li Chan smiled at Nie Kongkong and walked towards the noisy place.

"Hey!" Nie Kongkong jumped up anxiously, squeezed his fists hard, and followed up sullenly.

Among the crowd, a small bamboo and wood tower nearly two feet high has been set up. The tower has five floors, and bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder are hung on each floor.The puppeteer lit the fire from the bottom, and a brilliant spark spun up the tower, burning away a thin layer of paper, revealing six puppets, dancing like living creatures.

The puppet master sang: "Don't urge the jade to leak the copper pot, the Xingqiao fire tree is in full bloom. All puppets are delusional, making tourists laugh!" After singing, the puppets on the balcony also opened their voices together, babbling and singing stand up.

The spectators cheered loudly, a mirage floated from Sao Qingniang's bag, and Hong Yao quietly appeared behind the crowd, applauding joyfully at the fiery building.

This place is very lively, and not far away, under the stele of Yequan Dongqu, there is also a woman in white clothes and green trousers, holding a pipa across her arms, sitting by the canal.

The sound of the pipa jumping out from the strings at the fingertips once attracted dozens of people to watch.It's a pity, relying on the bowl of decoction with forbidden magic power, she opened her voice and sang a few lines, then her voice broke, earning only a burst of boos and dim lights.

Nie Er softly persuaded Gu Jiuniang who was still playing the pipa, "Jiniang, forget it."

Gu Jiuniang is still singing, there are rules in the Liyuan, once the show starts and the music starts, even if there are no spectators in the audience, the ghosts and gods have to sing the song.

Fortunately, there was another spectator here. She glanced at Nie Er and thought to herself, it's a pity that this is not a bosom friend.

It's just that, looking at the anxious look of this guy standing under the dim light, he is a person who knows the cold and the hot.
