Mortal: Mo Juren Chapter 361: Lantern Festival and Accident
Unknowingly, before walking to a certain building, there was a small square in front of the door. At this moment, a large number of monks gathered here, arguing about something in front of the rows of lanterns suspended above their heads.
Mo Juren stared and saw that it was a place for guessing lantern riddles. No wonder it attracted so many people to watch.
Guessing lantern riddles is originally an entertainment item originated from the secular world, but because of its fun, it is also very popular among immortal cultivators. Especially in the special environment of Chaos Xinghai, where immortals and mortals live together, similar situations are not uncommon. p>
Because we are dealing with immortal cultivators, this activity has also been upgraded to a certain extent and can be called an advanced version.
The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years is the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time by reading and listening to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download anyanapp here]
All the lanterns are suspended in the sky, almost covering the entire small square. Moreover, each lantern is extremely exquisitely made and has different styles, making people fall in love with it at a glance. The surface of the lanterns are all carved with strange symbols.
Wen, hundreds or even thousands of lanterns were combined together to form a special formation that was designed to cover up the detection of spiritual consciousness. Even he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the lantern.
Mo Juren was a little surprised. Isn't it just guessing lantern riddles? Why is it so mysterious? It wasn't until he saw a certain guesser taking out a low-level magic weapon from the lantern that he suddenly realized that he could also open a treasure chest! p>
What's even more special is that even if the individual lanterns are removed, the effect of the combined array will not be affected at all.
His eyes suddenly noticed somewhere in the square. There was a small flag hanging there, which clearly listed a series of rules. Sure enough, there was a sign that there was a treasure in the lamp, and it also mentioned that each person was limited to one, and no more were allowed.
.
Wang and Ying were also standing together in the crowd at this time, pointing at the lanterns from time to time, their faces filled with unconcealable excitement.
Seeing him approaching, the former suddenly looked happy, waved his jade arms and said: "Brother Mo, come quickly, help me guess this one."
Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel speechless. If he wanted to go crazy, why should he be called to him?
As a person of two generations, what kind of entertainment program has I not seen? How could I be as interested in lantern riddles as these ‘ancients’?
Wang Ying didn't care about this. Seeing that he was unmoved, she thought she couldn't let go of her face, so she ran over directly, then grabbed his arm and forced her to squeeze into the crowd.
"The three autumn leaves have fallen, and the February flowers can bloom across the river thousands of feet, and into the bamboo poles." Looking at the poem with one of the lanterns hanging down, Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly, he turned his head and asked with a half-smile, "You really can't guess this lantern riddle?"
"Yes...yeah...what's wrong?" Wang Ying's face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little evasive when she looked at the other party.
"Where's Miss Zhuo? You can't guess it, right?" Mo Juren did not continue to point out the other person, but turned to the side and asked again.
"Me?" When asked about herself, Zhuo Ruting was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said,
"Senior Mo, please forgive me. I am not interested in this, so I will not participate."
"..."
Mo Juren was speechless. As long as we get along as equals, there is no need to be so forceful.
There was a faint light on the fingertips, and a ray of mana shot out, and the word "wind" was written directly on a blank position above the lantern. In an instant, the surface of the lantern flashed with a faint light, and then flew down. p>
Seeing this, he fired another mana in his hand and slowly floated the lantern in front of the opponent.
"Brother Mo is indeed very clever. Otherwise, my little sister would have been helpless just looking at this glazed lamp." Wang Ying took it with joy and praised it without hesitation.
"As long as you like it." Mo Juren's mouth twitched slightly, not bothering to argue.
Wang Ying didn't seem to see the strange look on the other person's face, but she and Zhuo Ruting slowly opened the top of the lantern. In a flash of blue light, a pair of exquisite blue ice jade bracelets appeared in sight. The style was biased towards
Simple and simple yet elegant, it exudes a chilly air.
"So beautiful!" The moment they saw the blue ice bracelet, both women's eyes lit up.
Mo Juren was also a little surprised. This bracelet was not low-grade, but actually reached the top level. This is not easy. Although treasures can be found in the lanterns, it is obviously just a lucky charm, and there will not be too many good things.
Being able to open a top-level magic weapon is definitely a stroke of luck. However, the two of them obviously did not pay attention to this, but paid more attention to the appearance of the bracelet.
Wang Ying took out one of them and put it directly on her snow-white jade wrist. She, who was already very beautiful, looked even more delicate and unparalleled against the backdrop of the bracelet.
"Brother Mo, does it look good?"
"Yes, it matches you very well." Mo Juren did not hesitate this time. At this time, the other party did not change back to his usual ordinary appearance, and was indeed very beautiful.
But according to his guess, this appearance is very likely not the real one, which is a pity.
Hearing his praise, Wang Ying was obviously very happy. She even discussed it in a low voice with Zhuo Ruting next to her, and then took out the other one and stuffed it into the other person's hand.
Zhuo Ruting quickly refused. This is a top-level magic weapon. It is definitely valuable to her as a foundation-building monk. Moreover, the two jade bracelets are obviously a set. Only when used together can they be considered top-level. If
The power will be greatly weakened if separated.
"You and I have been sisters for many years. If you say such disrespectful things again, I will get angry." Wang Yingyang glared at the other party angrily, and then put the ice bracelet on the other party directly.
"Yes, with this bracelet, I can't compare to my sister."
"No way, sister is just because..."
"Ahem..."
Zhuo Ruting was talking normally, but was suddenly interrupted by Wang Ying coughing several times, and turned to Mo Juren and asked: "Brother Mo, why don't you tell me, is Sister Zhuo more suitable for this ice bracelet?"
This is true. Zhuo Ruting has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk, which makes people feel that it is difficult to get close to each other. It does complement each other well with this ice jade bracelet.

Of course, you can only think about this in your mind, not say it out loud. When it comes to beauty, any woman is stingy, and the last thing she wants to hear is that she is not as good as others.
Mo Juren knew this very well, so he smiled and said: "They are all pretty good, as long as you two like them. How about you, do you want to guess another one? Maybe there will be greater gains?" <
/p>
Wang Ying naturally heard that the other party was deliberately avoiding answering, and she felt cunning in her heart. However, she did not continue to ask questions, and instead started searching again with Zhuo Ruting.
The latter is also very excited. If she can develop a top-level magic weapon again, even a high-level magic weapon. For a foundation-building monk like her, it will definitely be a big gain.
It's a pity that good luck cannot always be around. The lantern that was guessed the second time only got a silver hairband. It was very delicate but had no magic power. It was obviously just an ordinary accessory.
The two women couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then looked at Mo Juren, who was the only one left. Among the three, he was the only one who had another chance.
"I'll forget it, we've been here for so long, why don't we go somewhere else?" Mo Juren shook his head and chose to refuse.
"Okay." Seeing that he was unwilling, the two women couldn't force it, so they nodded in agreement.
Time passed slowly, and the three of them strolled on Main Street C-1 for several hours, and did not return until late at night.
The two women obviously had some unfinished thoughts. When they arrived at the 'Chen Yuan Residence', they were still communicating in low voices with great interest. Each of them held a lantern in their hands, which was quite interesting.
There are not just two women either. There are quite a few monks walking on the street carrying lanterns, mostly women. It is a unique scene in the lantern festival.
Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, Fengle City did a good job in entertainment, and many details were considered very thoughtfully. No wonder it attracted so many monks.
The shops on the main streets are open all day, and they do not close at night. However, compared to the bustling "Guangtong Building" opposite, "Chenyuanju" is a little quieter.
The three of them did not delay and were about to head towards the first floor. But at this moment, a sound of surprise suddenly sounded in their ears, causing the three of them to stop instantly.
"Ying'er, you're finally back!" A figure hurriedly walked out of the darkness. Seeing its appearance, Mo Juren couldn't help but be startled. It turned out to be the former young master of Kamikaze Island, Cheng Yang.
He had thought of this person when he was visiting the lantern festival just now, but he couldn't help but think about him so much, and he appeared after a while.
Speaking of which, except for the original transaction, the two parties had basically no contact, and naturally they were not familiar with each other. Therefore, after seeing the other party, he did not say anything and just stood aside and watched quietly.
He thought so, but the other person obviously didn't. The moment she saw Wang Ying, she was smiling. But when her eyes shifted to him, the smile disappeared instantly, and there was a flash of coldness in her eyes, which was fleeting.
Mo Juren couldn't help but feel speechless. This guy is really stubborn. A foundation-building monk dares to look at him with such ill intentions. Is he looking for death?
"Why are you here? How did you learn about my residence?" Wang Ying frowned and asked with some confusion. It was not a secret that she and Zhuo Ruting came to Fengle City, but they lived in the 'Chenyuan Residence'
But it is a temporary decision. According to common sense, even if the other party comes to look for it, it is impossible to find it so quickly?
"A good friend of mine lives in Guangtong Building. He happened to see you and Miss Zhuo during the day, and then gave me the news..." Cheng Yang did not hide anything and immediately explained the reason.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Wang Ying asked again. If it was a coincidence, it would be fine. But if it was not, but for other reasons such as stalking, then that would be another story.
"I swear to God, if I had said anything false just now, I would be punished by thunder and crackles from the sky!" Sensing his sweetheart's doubts, Cheng Yang quickly raised his hands and swore an oath, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand.
"As long as you didn't lie to me, there's no need to swear so seriously." Wang Ying looked slightly relieved and continued,
"I'm a little tired after walking around for so long, so I won't waste Daoist Cheng's time and say goodbye for now."
After taking Zhuo Ruting for a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and said,
"One more thing, I hope fellow Taoist Cheng will stop calling me Ying'er, so as not to cause other people to misunderstand."
"Ying'er, don't be angry, I..." Cheng Yang suddenly became anxious, and quickly took a step forward to tell the difference, but suddenly saw the other party's cold eyes, and his aura suddenly weakened,
"Okay, Ying...Master Wang, don't leave in a hurry. I came here this time to tell you something important. It concerns the future of the Miaoyin Sect, and you have to listen to it no matter what."
"What's the matter?" Wang Ying stopped immediately when she heard that it was about the sect.
"It's not convenient here. Let's find a safe place to talk." Cheng Yang paused and then said,
"I have booked a nice private room in Guangtong Building, where can I go?"
"If you really have something to do, just say it here. As for going to Guangtong Building, forget it." Wang Ying glanced at the other party, with a trace of distrust in her bright eyes.
"No, this matter is very important. We must find a safe place." Cheng Yang did not compromise this time and insisted.
"Then go to my residence. It's allowed to stay in Chenyuan Pavilion for a while." Wang Ying suggested again. After hearing this, Cheng Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart. After so many years, the other party still didn't trust him. However, when I thought about what was going to be discussed next, my loss was fleeting and I regained my spirit again.
"Okay, I'll just go to Ying...your place."
The discussion was settled, and the four of them walked together towards Chen Yuan Residence. Cheng Yang did not speak any more during the journey, but glanced at somewhere from time to time. Although the disgust and vigilance were well concealed, Mo Juren still captured it. When a few people went up to the top floor, they found that the two parties were living next to each other. The 'jealousy' in Cheng Yang's heart became more and more intense, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.
Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. He asked himself that he had never offended the other party, but he was disgusted by being stared at like this all the time. Do you really think that he is a good gentleman?
A cold snort sounded out, and it sounded like an explosion in Cheng Yang's ears. It instantly gave him a splitting headache and stars in his eyes.
Mo Juren was just a small punishment but a big punishment, and he stopped pursuing the case. He greeted the two women and went directly to his room.
Cheng Yang let go of his hands holding his head, and felt shocked in his heart. At this time, he finally realized that he was a little bored. He only focused on jealousy, but ignored the reality. The other party was a genuine monk in the pill formation stage, who was he?
Can it be provoked?
Even if you want to provoke, it shouldn't be now, at least there must be one of your own monks in the alchemy stage present. As the young master of Kamikaze Island, he is not afraid of a casual cultivator on the other side.
"Master Wang, why did you come to live with this person and live in Chenyuan Residence together?" Cheng Yang couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart when he also entered the elegant room.
"I came to attend the Wanfu Meeting, and I happened to meet Brother Mo, so we got together. What, is there any problem?" Wang Ying was startled for a moment, then asked.
"Then why did you go to the lantern festival together again, and even showed this appearance? Shouldn't you avoid..." Cheng Yang was about to ask, but was directly interrupted by the other party coldly,
"Master Cheng, what do you mean by this? Who are you to me? Do I need your permission to make friends with anyone or go shopping?"
"No...it's not." Cheng Yang's expression suddenly changed, knowing that he shouldn't be suspicious of the other party. After all, after so many years of knowing each other, the man named Mo has never appeared before, and there was obviously nothing like that between the two parties. The reason why he was a little anxious
The question was just jealous, and he quickly explained,
"Ying... Master Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else."
"It's okay if you don't." Wang Ying's indifferent expression softened slightly. After all, they have known each other for so many years and are considered friends. It is not easy to continue to scold the other person. However, when she thinks of the various actions of the person in front of her over the years, she can't help but have a headache. p>
She knew very well what the other party was thinking, but she had never had such thoughts.
Over the years, she has avoided the other party's entanglement once or twice. Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all. The other party stalks her like a weight and never flinches.
Because of this incident, the other party even delayed her own cultivation, and is still wandering in the late stage of foundation building. Even the owner of Kamikaze Island personally visited her to ask her not to confuse her only son.
The master of Kamikaze Island, Cheng Songting, has an old-fashioned character and has a very big prejudice against the Miaoyin Sect. He thinks it is a low-grade sect that entertains people with sex. Even Wang Ying, the sect leader, is not worthy of his son.
In short, stay away from Cheng Yang from now on. If you get entangled again, don't blame him for being rude.
That time, Wang Ying was so angry that she almost died. What do you mean she confuses the other party? It's obviously your son who doesn't live up to expectations and insists on getting involved. What does it have to do with you?
It's a pity that Miaoyinmen has a bad reputation, and it's impossible to explain this kind of thing.
What's more, as the leader of the sect, she also needs to worry about the safety of the sect and is not willing to fall out with Kamikaze Island easily. In the end, she can only compromise and swallow her anger.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yang never gave up. Whenever he had a chance, he would come up with all kinds of excuses to get involved. It was really annoying.
