After sniffing it out of habit, neither one person nor the dog smelled the fishy smell, but they also felt it was a bit strange.
"Gentleman, something is wrong with this place."
"Although something is wrong, it doesn't matter. Since we know that others are trying to stop us, let's just show them and see what they are capable of. You know, there are no rules in this world. Only bad people and monsters can do evil. Good people and gods can also do evil.
, and using good as evil is even more difficult for people to detect.”
The dog's head nodded wildly, and he was convinced. Wang Zhaixing thought that when he was the young minister of Dali Temple in the Orange Country, he often ate one or two sausages or ribs on the pretext of checking for rat infestations in the kitchen.
Dogs are like this, how can humans be embarrassed? How can immortals be embarrassed?
"Why didn't you ask why you came this time?"
Somewhat strangely, Wei Hao asked while touching the head of Wang Zhaixing dog.
"I have experience."
"..."
very good.
Good and evil are just one thought. If the boundary were so clear, the world would not be so complicated.
Arriving under the tree at the head of Kaihui Village, several old farmers were carrying hoes and were about to go to work in the fields. When they saw Wei Hao, they quickly saluted: "I wonder who the captain is looking for when he comes to Kaihui Village?"
"I am passing through this place, so I will leave soon."
"It's a coincidence that Taiwei came here. A lantern festival is about to be held locally. At night, it will be the best night view of the Five Lakes."
The so-called Five Lakes is another name for Shengyue Lake, and does not refer to the Five Great Lakes.
"I grew up in a nearby county. How come I've heard of the Kaihui Village Lantern Festival?"
"So that Taiwei will know that this lantern festival is not held at all times. It does not depend on the year, month, day, or solar terms. It only depends on what my young master says. If he says that there are distinguished guests coming, he will organize it. There is absolutely no such thing in his free time.
Be prepared, my young master mostly studies behind closed doors."
"As a young man, I think he is also a scholar."
"My ancestors have protected me, and my temperament is indifferent. I am not keen on fame."
"It turns out he is an expert hermit who hides away from the world. He is being polite..."
Wei Hao saluted on horseback with his fists clasped, and the old farmer quickly returned the salute with his hoe in hand. Waiting for a while, Wei Hao passed the archway and found that the sky had changed.
When I came here just now, it was clearly morning, but when I entered the inside of the archway, it became evening.
The dog was greatly surprised when he saw it: "Gentleman, there must be a magic weapon here that can cover the sun, moon and stars."
"Maybe it's just a big pot, directly attached to a village?"
"Gentleman, whatever comes into your mouth is no longer interesting..."
It was rare for him to complain, so Wei Hao rubbed the dog's head and smiled, "I forgot that your name is Zhaixing. If I say this, it offends your taboo."
"Hey, it's getting dark here, maybe there will be a lantern festival soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lantern came up, which was really bright and beautiful.
All kinds of lanterns have images, including flowers, plants and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects, talents and beauties, and even elves and gods.
In addition, there are endless pavilions, pavilions, and lanterns in waterside gardens.
Wei Hao rode his horse and walked for only a short distance before seeing winter from spring. These lanterns, even the scenery, were divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is worthy of the saying of "viewing flowers on horseback".
"Huh? My husband, look at that lamp."
Yingying also took the opportunity to reveal herself and shamelessly sat in front of Wei Hao. She originally wanted to lean back and let Wei Hao feel what it meant to be as soft and fragrant as jade.
Unfortunately, Wei Hao was completely indifferent and was actually looking at the scenery seriously.
Looking in the direction Yingying pointed, Wei Hao saw a lamp with several paintings. The characters in the paintings were vivid, and it was a hero fighting a fish monster with his bare hands.
That lamp was called "Wei Hao Removes Monsters".
It's Wei Hao he's talking about.
"There's still a light there."
The horse continued to move forward slowly, and another lamp was raised. There were also several paintings. In addition to Wei Hao, there was an old turtle and a peach blossom lake. They looked lifelike.
In this scene, under the two lanterns, there are villagers who came out to watch the lantern festival. Every household supports the old and the young. It is really a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
Women who are mothers often educate their children under the lamp.
A son who was scolding the pouty son pointed at the lamp in front and said, "If you don't obey me again, Wei Hao will catch you and beat your butt to pieces."
The child pursed his lips and wanted to cry, but he held it back after hearing these words, and followed his mother aggrievedly. The local vendor selling candied haws on the roadside had a look of pity on his face, lamenting that he had lost a piece of business.
Another woman hugged her child under the last lamp and said, "Brother, when you grow up, if you want to imitate Wei Xiucai, then our family will be respectable..."
The child held his fingers in his mouth and his eyes were shining, looking longingly at the scene of Wei Hao saving the mangy turtle.
"Gentleman, you have become a living fable."
"I am still the living king of hell."
"..."
unlucky!
Or watch the Lantern Festival.
No matter what tricks there are, if you don't look at the beautiful scenery, it will cause harm to people, and it will show up sooner or later.
Not long after, he smelled sandalwood incense and the sound of Dharma conch shells. He saw various laymen holding magical instruments and chanting some scriptures. Wei Hao followed the movement and looked around and saw another lantern coming out.
It is directly a spiritual mountain made of paper, a Buddha made of lamps, several Bodhisattvas made of wicker, two rows of Arhats made of bamboo strips, and incense and candles are lit. It is really majestic and can be called the holy place of Buddhism in the village.
When there was a big commotion here, the villagers stood by the road and shouted "Young Master" respectfully. Wei Hao knew that this must be a local landowner.
Even if he wasn't, he was still a young landowner.
I saw a person wearing plain brocade, riding a lantern horse on his crotch. The horse was also a divine horse, with four hooves that could move, and the horse's tail could swing. It seemed different from the real thing.
That man's face was as white as jade, his brows were dotted with sand, and his graceful demeanor was not inferior to that of Bai Chen, but he had a lot more of the Shimen temperament.
Wei Hao guessed that it was probably related to the mysterious guest.
Don't think too much, it must be for you.
The local young master didn't hide anything. He rode a lantern horse to the front, then bowed slightly and saluted: "Xiaosheng is hiding at night. I have seen Wei Chixia, so you are polite."
Meeting at night?
Not during the day?
"This...should Wei be called Brother Ye? Or Brother Yeli?"
"Xiao Sheng's surname is 'Ye Li'. His ancestor was a Buddhist layman. Now he is hiding here. Originally, he was isolated from the outside world. He only came to visit for some reason. He wanted to hinder Wei Chixia's journey, but he couldn't evade it, so he had to stay for a while."
"How are you going to keep me?"
Wei Hao actually smiled, looked at the opposite side and asked.
The young man was very free and easy. He pointed at the lights and said, "If you enter this place, you won't be able to get out until you see all the lights."
"It's a good magic weapon to trap people."
"How do you know it's not a formation?"
"If it's a formation, I can stamp it down and break the formation's magic power."
"Wei Chixia is so brave, I admire him."
"Why don't you have a fight?"
"A young man is not good at fighting. If he competes with Wei Chixia, wouldn't it be like hitting an egg with a stone?"
"Hahahaha, okay!"
Wei Hao was greatly impressed and felt that the guy in front of him had a really good personality and a good temper.
It's completely different from Xiao Bailong's sand style.
"I see you are wearing a kerchief. You must be a scholar. Could it be that you are a counselor?"
"Haha, Wei Chixia is wrong about this. Although Xiaosheng is good at reading, his ancestor was the 'Lamp-bearing General' of the Shimen. After all, he is also a military officer."
"No wonder it's called Kaihui..."
Wei Hao was stunned, and then he realized that the so-called "clearing the darkness" didn't mean lighting a lamp at night to clear away the darkness?
So, Wei Hao guessed what kind of spirit the other party was, and said: "I am in a hurry. When I have time in the future, I will definitely invite my friends to come and enjoy the lantern show together."
"Ah, according to Wei Chixia, you already know how to quickly see the lights of thousands of houses?!"
Kaihui was very surprised at night, his eyes a little unbelievable.
However, Wei Hao smiled and said: "Brother Yeli, you may not know that in addition to being a scholar, I am also a farmer. How can I not know when to turn off the lights?"
After saying that, Wei Hao patted the dog's head in his arms: "Xiao Wang, please work hard. You have learned how to play crowing in Weijiawan."
"Oh oh oh~"
Wang Zhaixing was seen raising his head, and then there was a rooster crow.
"Oh oh oh~"
"Oh oh oh~"
The call was made three times, but only three times. The entire Kaihui Village was originally lit with thousands of lights, but soon there were sounds urging the lights to be turned off from every house.
"The rooster has crowd three times, and you still light the lamp at dawn?!"
"You prodigal mother-in-law, quickly put out the candles, the roosters are crowing."
"The cock crows three times, children, turn off the lights and go to bed..."
There were shouts and the lights dimmed from house to house. The scene was indeed a grand scene.
In the night, Kaihui looked admired and saluted repeatedly: "I am a 'general in charge of the lantern', but I only have this ability. I would like to give Wei Chixia my best wishes..."
The voice was weak and the figure was dim. After a while, the whole sky became bright again. When I looked again, I saw that there was no village lantern festival anywhere, but it was just a dilapidated ruin.
