The New Year is not far away, and many people have put on new clothes, carrying money bags in their pockets and wandering around with their wives and children. On both sides of the street, vendors buying Spring Festival couplets are shouting loudly, and some literati are painting in the street.
Some are to subsidize the family, and some are to show off their style. A group of young children chase each other on the street, laughing and laughing, which is full of New Year atmosphere.
The winter snow fell for seven consecutive days, and finally it cleared up. The temperature gradually rose, and the ice on the river melted. When night came, many tourists came to the moat to enjoy the lanterns. This was a very lively festival, attracting many people.
Countless people participated.
To welcome the new year and bid farewell to the old, people will write their best wishes for the new year on lanterns, go straight down the river, and send them far away with the wind, hoping that their wishes will come true as soon as possible.
Of course, there are many styles of lanterns. The cheaper lanterns are made of bamboo strips and white paper, with a few flowers or birds painted on them to add a bit of ornamental value. The more expensive ones are much more delicate.
, regardless of craftsmanship or ornamental value, it must appear grand and luxurious.
By the moat, there are already a large number of lanterns floating, lotus-shaped, mandarin duck-shaped, boat-shaped, countless, crowding the river and slowly flowing into the distance. One of the exquisite peony lanterns is the most eye-catching, surrounded by a pair of
The green-white little hand was gently put into the river, and with a slight push, it floated out of the city with the gurgling water. After a short time, it was sent with the river into the nearby Wujiang River.
The owner of this exquisite peony lantern is a very beautiful woman, with a delicate nose, a beautiful mouth, and a pair of watery black eyes that are like gems shining in the night sky, conveying emotions and emotions. Her skin is like cream, and she is wearing a woman's attire on her arm.
The blue skirt is like a blue lotus blooming in the valley, fluttering in the wind, and revealing the elegant temperament of a lady in her words and deeds.
"The year is coming, and time flies by. No matter how beautiful the years are, they will also pass by with the years!" The young woman stared at the lanterns that were getting further away and sighed softly.
"Madam, it's cold outside, it's time to go back! Otherwise, I will be punished by the master!" A young maidservant of seventeen or eighteen years old reminded softly from the side.
Luo Ning frowned slightly, feeling displeased, but her face was as light as usual: "The air in the mansion is turbid and full of dirt. It's rare to have time to relax, so why rush!"
"But, madam...!" The young maid wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Luo Ning's stern look.
The maid said half of her words, and swallowed the rest of her words abruptly, not daring to say more.
Behind Luo Ning stood eight strong men in green robes, tied up in brocade clothes, holding long knives in their hands. They all looked around fiercely, full of vigilance, and their ferocious expressions of keeping strangers away frightened many people who passed by.
tourists travelers!
Surrounded by these people, Luo Ning felt like a canary being carefully cared for in Qiuye City, without any freedom or private space. As time passed, Luo Ning began to feel bored.
Today I have some free time to relax, breathe the fresh air against the river breeze, appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river, and feel the atmosphere of the New Year that is close to ordinary people, and the depression in my heart gradually subsides.
After a long time, many people on both sides of the river dispersed, and the lively atmosphere gradually subsided. The cold wind bit the bones, and Luo Ning's delicate and pretty face became a little pale.
Suddenly, a fox fur coat was draped over her shoulders from behind.
It added a warmth to her thin and delicate body.
Luo Ning looked back and saw a young man with a hooked nose standing behind her, looking at her tenderly, his eyes full of love and compassion.
"It's cold. If you don't go home, what will happen if you freeze your body? I'll feel bad!" Li Tianxing held Luo Ning's shoulders with his generous palms and said softly.
Luo Ning turned around, avoiding the opponent's hands without leaving a trace, and whispered: "Go back!" However, when he looked up, he inadvertently glanced to the third floor of the attic opposite, where there was a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat.
Looking over here, the hidden gaze makes people feel like a thorn in the back.
Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head silently and was surrounded by others leaving the river bank.
But Li Tianxing, who was following behind, noticed something was wrong. He looked up in the direction of the second floor of the attic and found that there was no one there anymore.
He frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he still caught up with Luo Ning.
The night breeze was blowing, and a figure was flying on the river. It quickly passed a trace and touched the water several times, like a dragonfly touching the water. Each time it moved, it was more than ten feet.
The man in black's eyes were like lightning, and there were hundreds of lanterns floating in the river. It only took him a cup of tea to search for the peony lantern that Luo Ning put in.
I picked up the lantern and jumped to the shore. When I opened it, I found a line of four big characters written on the inner wall, "May you be well!"
The man in black lifted up his bamboo hat and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "She has indeed not forgotten me!"
The man in black was none other than Ji Yun, who had been missing for half a month. The Xuanqing heavy sword was wrapped in gray cloth and carried on his back. After a year, he came to Qiuye City again, and he actually had the illusion that things were different.
"Luoning, I'm back to find you, don't worry. This time, I will take you away from this ghost place, far away from home, wandering around the world!" Ji Yun threw the peony lantern back into the river, turned around and left, gradually disappearing into the night

.....
The southernmost mountain in Wuxi County is called Wo Fo Mountain, with an altitude of nearly 500 feet. The top of the mountain is covered with mist and is filled with smoke all year round. The trees on the mountainside are lush and lush, and among them, there is a giant Buddha that is 100 feet high lying on the mountain.
Underfoot, the exposed half is close to the lake.
The reflection in the lake water complements the half of the Reclining Buddha exposed at the foot of the mountain, forming a complete and huge Reclining Buddha, from which Reclining Buddha Mountain got its name.
After driving non-stop for three days and two nights, Lu Chen finally arrived at Wo Fo Mountain at the southernmost tip of Wuxi County.
The Reclining Buddha has a solemn and solemn expression, as well as compassion. His mouth is slightly open, forming a large mouth for adults to enter and exit. It is dark inside and requires a torch to enter.
When Lu Chen went in, he saw the remaining traces of a fight on the ground within a few steps. A huge monster corpse lay in the dirty mud, with blood stains everywhere, and a strong putrid smell in the air. It looked like
The lion is huge, and its body is covered with a thick layer of dark red scales. Although it has been dead for many days, the ferocious aura that remains from the past is still frightening. Not far away is the body of Elder Lei Hu, who has been dead for many days.
Day, has become stiff and green.
"Innate monster, fire-scaled lion!" Lu Chen
After looking at the monster for a moment, he identified its origin.
"Elder Leihu?" Lu Chen looked at the corpse not far away and sighed secretly. This Leihu was really unlucky. He was actually plotted by Ji Yun. Could it be that this was already determined.
Thinking about that day, when he and Ji Yun entered the sect to visit the elders, Lei Hu found them displeasing in every possible way and made things difficult for them. But today he got this tragic ending. Sure enough, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil.
It’s not that I won’t report it, it’s that the time has not yet come.
"Is this where Ji Yun found traces of the Xuanqing heavy sword? How did this guy know that there was a Xuanqing heavy sword here? He also knew that he could use the innate demonic beast Fire Scale Lion to deal with Elder Lei Hu. Could it be that he had thought ahead before entering the sect?
Is everything okay?" Lu Chen lowered his head and thought, holding the torch and continuing to walk deeper into the cave.
"This place is dark and deep, lurking the innate demonic beast Fire Scale Lion, as well as the Xuanqing Heavy Sword. It should not be an ordinary place!" Lu Chen stepped on the slippery rocks and walked through the cave with complex terrain, ticking,
I could only hear the sound of water drops coming from the depths of the cave, which was empty for a long time and echoed constantly.
Huh, a gust of wind mixed with a faint fragrance came, blowing on Lu Chen's body. He moved the tip of his nose, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "There is wind, and there is also a faint strange fragrance? There seems to be something there.
In front, the location is not too far from me."
After walking for about a while, we came to an open-air sinkhole. At the bottom was a clear spring water flowing, with cool moonlight shining down on it, like a large hourglass, absorbing the brilliance of the sun and moon from the outside world.
From Lu Chen's position, he could even see the stars and the moon in the sky. All around the mountain wall were strange blue fluorescent stones, inlaid in various places, like priceless luminous pearls.
There is a sand dune in the center of the pool, where a three-foot-tall green plant grows. When the dreamy moonlight pours down, you can see two orange-yellow fruits under the emerald green leaves. They are the size of an egg and are full of light.
The colors are extremely eye-catching, and the faint fragrance in the cave is emanating from these two fruits.
Seeing this scene, Chase Lu's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart pounded, and he couldn't help but burst into ecstasy: "The holy spiritual fruit, Golden Bodhi, also known as the immortal fruit, has a powerful nourishing effect on the 'gods'. In Kyushu
It has appeared four times in history, but I only heard its name but never saw it. I didn’t expect it to be discovered by me!”
He jumped down to the sand dune in the pool, and gently picked two of the fruits. Without washing them, he bit one of them in one bite. The bitter juice filled his entire mouth, and he frowned slightly:
"My mother, it's so hard!"
It's just like this for a mute to eat Coptis chinensis!
Compared to its magical effects, this bit of pain is nothing worth mentioning.
After taking the first Golden Bodhi pill, Lu Chen immediately clearly felt that the 'god' in his Niwan Palace was rapidly transforming and growing stronger. It was a wonderful feeling!
As if the soul has been purified, the six senses are rapidly enhanced, and one can clearly feel movement within a hundred meters radius.
For example, ten feet behind him, a flying insect was flapping its wings, greedily sucking the crystal dew on the grass blades.
In the soil at the foot of the mountain wall, a young grass is struggling to spread its green buds and break out of the soil, preparing to welcome the new world.
