Chapter 345

The fifteenth day of the first month.

"The first month comes in the first month, and the fifteenth day of the first month is full of lanterns. The lanterns are yellow, and the lanterns are red. It is a good year for the lanterns to be snowed."

However, there was no heavy snow in Lanling City.

A big moon hangs high.

At this moment, in Lanling City, there are pavements along the street, large courtyards and small households, temples and monasteries, all of which are decorated with lanterns and festoons, which are gorgeous and pleasing to the eye.

There are so many people watching the lanterns, like rivers, like sea tides, crowding shoulder to shoulder, all night long.

The Lantern Festival is called the "Lantern Festival" in Lanling City. There are many kinds of lanterns in Lanling. Literati like to play with lanterns and collect antiques. Therefore, these lanterns are mostly well-made and attractive in appearance, which makes people love it.

As we all know, Mr. Qi Shu is one of the many celebrities in Lanling City who like to collect lanterns.

Mr. Qi Shu rolled up his sleeves and said lightly: "There are many styles of lanterns in folklore, such as paper lanterns, gauze lanterns, horn lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, forged embroidered lanterns, etc. But Lanling Imperial City uses exquisite craftsmanship. Many palace lanterns are mostly carved with red sandalwood and walnut wood, with dragon heads carved on the stand, orbs in the mouth, or octagonal or hexagonal, rings decorated with tassels, and horizontal paintings on the lamp surface."

His Highness took Yi Xiaoan by the hand, squeezed into the crowd, and quietly listened to Mr. Qi Shu's explanation.

"Actually, there's nothing to say. These little highnesses know that Qi Shu is not as knowledgeable as his highness, and it's boring to say it." Mr. Qi Shu glanced at the little highness, and saw Yi Xiao listening to him seriously, with a serious expression on his face. His respect means everything, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you really think my words are boring?"

Yi Xiao smiled softly and said: "I have lived in Lanling City for more than ten years, and the Lantern Festival is held every year. I am an old acquaintance. I naturally know the so-called 'separate knowledge' you mentioned, but Xiao An didn't come. It’s the Festival of Lights, so it’s up to you, sir, to explain.”

Qi Shu smiled, and said angrily: "How dare you treat me as free labor?"

His Highness couldn't help but laugh, and he caught a glimpse of the corner of the crowd from the corner of his eye, patted Yi Xiaoan on the shoulder, and said softly, "Follow Mr. Qi Shu".

Qi Shu waved his hand helplessly, indicating that His Royal Highness can leave at ease.

Qi Shu pondered the complexion of the Buddhist girl Ke Qing beside him, and he did not dare to babble too much, for fear of annoying the great Bodhisattva, after a while, he found that this person could listen to it with a calm heart.

Yi Xiaoan had a cold look on the surface, but there was a smile unconsciously on the corner of his lips.

She no longer resisted such a lively scene in her heart as before.

The days of meditation in the Darong Temple are boring and deserted. I practice swords, Buddha and mind, with half of my feet on the clouds and half of my feet on the world.

After coming to Lanling City, I saw the lights of the world again, and the warmth of thousands of lights, so the thought of rejecting the world and indifference in my heart drifted away.

There's nothing wrong with that.

There was a small stall in the crowd, where various flower masks and gadgets were displayed, attracting a bunch of children to drag their parents and refuse to let go, lingering.

His Highness smiled and squatted in front of the stall, tossing and turning to choose the masks, and finally asked with a smile, "Are these masks here?"

The stall owner sighed helplessly, and asked in a clear voice, "What do you want?"

Before the words were finished, a child next to him caught a fancy to a wire lantern, and the middle-aged stall owner with a funny mask moved his body a little, smiled and reached out to pick up the money.

After receiving the money, he moved back and said angrily, "Don't pick, that's all."

His Highness looked at Lord Shanzhu who was wearing a lotus robe, there was a small stall here, Qing Li was forced to sit in front of the stall with his head pressed, a red rope was tied to his forehead, and his long hair was pulled around, the little flower The cat mask is worn on the back of the head.

She stared blankly at the front, the crowd coming and going took her for granted as the daughter of the middle-aged stall owner.

This scene seems familiar.

Yi Xiao sighed with emotion, handed out a copper coin with a smile, and hung it in front of Lord Shanzhu.

"Have you chosen?"

Mu Liancheng smiled and asked, "There are no black and white cat masks today."

His Highness shook his head, and asked in a soft voice: "You are the majestic master of the holy island, the suzerain of the world's demon sect. If you come to Lanling City on a happy day, aren't you afraid of causing bad luck?"

Lord Shanzhu smiled and stretched out his hand to pick up the string of copper coins, holding the tail of the falling coins and pulling gently.

The microwire does not move.

The two secretly competed.

Mu Liancheng smiled and said: "You personally buried your perfect ninth grade in the Daji Mountains. After hearing the news, the Holy Island wailed, and the Five Elders' Association has already gone mad."

His Highness raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Lord Shanzhu suddenly changed his face, and said with a frowning face, "Hey, hey, we are on the same front, we should be fighting against each other. Let's be honest. If I come to Lanling City today, if I am the lord of the Demon Sect, I will cause bad luck. You It's almost there."

Yi Xiao frowned slightly.

"You are now the Young Sect of the Holy Island." Lord Shanzhu glanced at Qingli, and said softly: "The Five Elders' Association is angry, and after knowing that you beat Ren Pingsheng, they still think you have the qualifications of the Young Sect , after all, practitioners of the two celestial aspects have been promoted to the ninth rank, and they are well-deserved monsters. There is only so much luck in this world, how can there be so many people who can compare with those five?"

His Highness finally understood, and said with a smile, "Holy Island expects me to go back?"

Lord Shanzhu let out a hey, and smiled, thinking that this guy finally understood, and then his hand was empty, it turned out that His Royal Highness suddenly picked up and took back the copper coin, turned his hand, and held it tightly in his hand.

Yi Xiao said with a calm expression: "They dislike me for not walking out of the perfect ninth grade, so let them go by themselves. I am in the Central Plains now, and I don't bother to pay attention to them. If you really don't like me, you can send someone to Qiliang Come on, I will fight one, and if I win, I will go back to the holy island with you, and it doesn't matter if the position of the young sect is gone."

Lord Shanzhu frowned on the surface, but he was actually happy in his heart.

He hoped that the young man in front of him would have such courage.

As the rule system of the Holy Island, the Wulaohui restrained himself, the mountain lord, in every way, but he couldn't restrain scattered people like the master of the Great Bright Palace and Yi Xiao.

Back then, the Lord of the Great Bright Palace was also forcibly dragged by the Five Elders Association, not only refused to leave the Holy Island, but also wanted to choose an old devil as his teacher.

In the end, the Lord of the Great Light Palace stood in front of the Sword Hall with a sword, and asked several old demons from the Wulaohui to walk around the Sword Hall in turn.

Be silent ever since.

What rules, what rules and regulations.

With one strike of the sword, everything is useless.

His Highness picked up a lantern on the stall, twisted the wick casually, and stretched out the lotus petals of the lantern, and the eyebrows also stretched out.

He said softly: "As for me, I only cultivate a sword in my heart. This sword is not a physical sword. It has its own rules and thoughts. It should be killed or kept, and it should be walked. I know it well in my heart. I don’t need the Wulaohui to remind me.”

His Highness gently crushed the lamp wick.

"Just stay with me, Qingli." He said calmly, "She likes to stay here very much, so the Five Elders' Association don't even think about taking him back. When she gets tired of staying there one day and wants to go back, I will Take her back to Holy Island."

Lord Shanzhu let out a sigh.

He always threw copper coins in front of him.

Yi Xiao said softly, "I will pay you for the lantern."

His Highness gently stretched out the lotus lantern with a crushed wick, rubbed the luxuriant rhizome with both hands, raised his head, and exerted a little force with his hands.

Among the sparks in the sky.

A lotus flower floated out.

Fly up melodiously.

Qingli raised her eyes blankly, her pupils scattered, and tried hard to see the spark of the lotus flower clearly. She blinked, thought for a long time, and said seriously: "I think what Shaozong said is right."

Lord Shanzhu smiled.

"Did you change your name to 'Shaozong' so soon?" The man in the white lotus ink robe rubbed Qingli's head jokingly, and said fondly, "It's up to you, there won't be any major problems with the Five Elders' Association. The palace master is a lesson from the past."

He thought for a while and said softly: "In fact, these old antiques are afraid that you will waste your practice in the Central Plains, so they want to call you back to the Holy Island to practice hard. These old guys, now regret it, and discuss it every day. The content is probably Your perfect Ninth Grade is gone, does it have something to do with their stinginess at the beginning?"

His Highness couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I didn't expect that the gang of old devils from the Wulaohui would be cute.

From Shengdao's point of view, the rules in this world are probably like this. Everything is linked to interests. All family, blood, and love are ridiculous and pale in front of interests. After confirming the benefits that Yi Xiao can bring to Shengdao Before, no one was optimistic about His Royal Highness, so no one was willing to place more bets. None of the palace masters of the holy mountains thought that this young man's rise would be so fast. man of the hour.

It's just that it's too late to increase the bet now.

Lord Shanzhu complained for them: "They still care about your Taoist companions, saying that the sword embryo on the Qingmu Palace is quite suitable, and the demon girl in the Purple Dimple Palace is also quite suitable. Now those old devils are looking forward to your return. They can lead you a red line, and try to leave a good embryo with brilliant talent for Holy Island as soon as possible."

His Highness smiled and said to Lord Shanzhu, "Please tell them something for me when you get back."

"The wind blows and wrinkles a pool of spring water."

Lord Shanzhu touched his head, a little confused.

He thought to himself, this winter has not passed yet, even if there is a wind, it is not considered a spring breeze.

The lanterns of Lanling City flowed by the river, moved with the wind, the lights swayed, and the water in a pool was wrinkled. It was beautiful, but what did it have to do with this matter?
Is this a hidden hint between men and women?

The Qingli girl beside her couldn't help laughing.

Lord Shanzhu said slightly annoyed, "What are you laughing at?"

The girl from the Yao clan who had been reading a lot by the side of the little highness stroked her hair, and said confidently: "Blowing up a pool of spring water, what's the matter?"
