The leisurely days of the sect passed like this day by day, going back and forth from Jade Talisman Tower, Xuanyu Cave, and Holy Talisman Hall at three o'clock. Occasionally, I ran to the Scripture Pavilion to look through ancient books and the experiences of our ancestors on cultivation.
Or go to Huangbaotang to exchange some spiritual materials and elixirs. Before you know it, more than twenty years have passed.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year, and today is New Year's Eve. Liuxian Town is crowded with people, and every store in the city is overcrowded.
Liu Yu came to Yufu Tower early this morning to help, standing behind the counter and paying the bills for each customer. Sometimes he was too busy and even queued up.
Half a month ago, the sect gave the disciples on the mountain a holiday, and with the addition of some expatriate disciples who rushed back to the mountain from various places to celebrate the New Year, the business in the store was extremely booming these days.
The Holy Talisman Hall was also on vacation. Except for going back to the cave to practice at night, Liu Yu stayed at the Jade Talisman Tower, drawing magic talismans, and helping to look after the shop.
"One third-grade intermediate "talisman" and two "divine walking talismans", a total of 2,920 low-level spiritual stones. Today is the New Year, which is equivalent to 2,800 low-level spiritual stones!" Liu Yuzheng gave a speech to the person in front of the stage.
The young man and woman checked out, their fingers intertwined, they must be a young couple, and they asked for three talismans in total in the store.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper!" The young woman hurriedly took out a dozen spiritual tickets from the storage bag, counted a small pile of low-level spiritual stones, and pushed them onto the counter, obviously in order to buy the three tickets in front of her.
Dharma, this is emptying your wallet.
"Take it!" Liu Yu quickly counted and handed over the three talismans.
"Senior brother, here it is!" The young woman immediately took it and handed it to the young man beside her.
"Junior Sister, you can keep it for yourself!" The young man declined immediately. He didn't expect that Junior Sister had spent all the spiritual stones she had accumulated over the years and bought it for herself. This is unacceptable.
"Senior brother, after the New Year, you will be transferred to Beiluan City to take up a post. I heard that there is a mixture of fish and dragons, which is very dangerous. My little sister stays in the sect and has no need for these talismans. You can keep them for self-defense!"
He said with a worried look.
"As a brother, I will be careful..."
"Little brother, since your junior sister's heart is with you, just accept it. Beiluan City is not a peaceful place. Our store has a lucky bag event today. If you take this card, you can go to the door of the store to look through the lucky bag. If you are lucky, you can get up to one
One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight low-level spiritual stones."
Liu Yu saw that the young couple was deeply in love, so she helped them talk and then handed over a mahogany token with the word "福" engraved on it.
In order to celebrate New Year's Eve, anyone who purchases more than 5,000 low-level spiritual stones at the Jade Talisman and Yudan stores will get a blessing card. After taking the blessing card, you can go to the store to look through the blessing bag.
The lucky bag contains various amounts of lucky money, sixty, one hundred, one hundred and sixty,..., up to one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight low-level spiritual stones.
In addition to New Year's red envelopes, some lucky bags also contain puzzles, and if you guess correctly, you can also get spiritual stone rewards.
You can get one hundred and eighty-eight by guessing one question, two hundred and eighty-eight by guessing two questions, and so on. You can guess eight questions in a row at most, and you can get eight hundred and eighty-eight low-level spiritual stones.
"Thank you, senior!" The man immediately accepted the three talismans. When the two entered the store, they knew the rules of the lucky bag event. The amount they purchased was not enough to participate in the event. This lucky talisman was obviously specially given to them by the shopkeeper. After the two thanked them, they immediately walked to the front of the store.
There is a tall and long mahogany blessing frame in front of the store. The upper and lower rows of the wooden frame are filled with red brocade bags one after another. Each brocade bag is embroidered with different festive patterns, including golden pheasants, colorful rabbits, and lucky cows.
Wait.
At this time, the wooden frame was already crowded with pedestrians, most of whom came to watch the fun. In front of the wooden frame, there was a round-faced female nun with lively eyes, twin ponytails, and a wavy drum.
As they were busy helping guests choose lucky bags, squatting under their feet was a plump pink and white jumping rabbit, jumping behind the female cultivator, one female and one rabbit, both of whom were very cute.
"Senior, which one do you want to choose?" Lu Caixing pointed at the rows of lucky bags and said to a middle-aged woman with a child.
"Xiao'er, which one do you want?" the middle-aged woman said with a smile to the fair little boy beside her.
"Choose, choose that peach!" The little boy looked back and forth at the rows of lucky bags, and finally pointed to a lucky bag on the left embroidered with a pattern of hearts.
"Xiao'er, please untie it and take a look!" I saw the bouncing rabbit, which was all pink and fat, immediately jumped up and down to the lucky bag hanging with a red peach pattern, jumped up suddenly, and took this piece of rabbit in one bite.
Bite the lucky bag.
Then, holding the lucky bag in her mouth, she jumped up to the little boy and handed the lucky bag to her head. The middle-aged woman said immediately.
"I'm lucky, I won one hundred and sixty low-level spiritual stones!" The little boy opened the lucky bag and took out a piece of paper, which was marked with one hundred and sixty spiritual stones. Seeing this, Lu Caixing immediately shook the wave drum in his hand,
He said with a smile.
As he said that, he immediately took out a bulging and larger blessing bag from the storage bag and handed it to the little boy.
One hundred and sixty low-level spiritual stones had been packed into the lucky bag in advance. With so many spiritual stones in it, the lucky bag was so heavy that the little boy had to bend down to hold it in both hands, making everyone around him laugh. p>
"Xiao'er, thank you sister quickly!" The middle-aged woman patted the little boy's head lovingly and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister!" the little boy said in a sweet voice.
"If you scream so nicely, sister will give you another one!" Lu Caixing scratched the little boy's nose and took out a red envelope with the word "blessing" printed on it, which contained a spiritual ticket with a face value of one hundred.
When the onlookers around saw it, they couldn’t help but cheer again.
After the woman thanked her and took the little boy away, it was the brother and sister's turn.
Lu Caixing hung up a lucky bag on the vacated spot on the wooden stand, and then asked the two of them to choose the lucky bag.
"Junior sister, you choose!" the young man said with a smile.
"Choose that one!" His junior sister looked around and then pointed to a lucky bag embroidered with mandarin ducks hanging in the top row.
"Xiang'er, go quickly!" Lu Caixing immediately patted the bouncing rabbit beside his leg. Seeing this fat rabbit, he immediately jumped up and down, went to bite the lucky bag from the top of the wooden frame, and handed it over.
In the hands of a young woman.
"Sister, please take it apart quickly!" Lu Caixing immediately urged excitedly, as if she was taking it apart herself.
Guess the riddle: "Two leaves and four flowers, white and yellow in color, bloom once a year and emit a strange fragrance in August."
There is a sentence written on the piece of paper.
"Congratulations, you won the guessing game. If you guess correctly, you can get one hundred and eighty-eight spiritual stones!" Lu Caixing explained immediately.
"This is a guess!" Lu Caizhou continued hopefully.
"Yes, Osmanthus fragrans!" the young woman said tentatively.
"That's right! It's Osmanthus fragrans. This senior sister guessed it right!" Lu Caixing said congratulations while shaking her drum.
Then he continued: "You two can choose to continue guessing. The younger sister will ask questions. For each correct question, one hundred low-level spiritual stones will be added. You can answer up to eight questions in a row. Except for guessing riddles, the last question will be correct.
If you guess the right pair, you can only get half of the accumulated rewards."
"You two have to think carefully. If you continue to guess the riddle, my little sister will immediately come up with the question, or you can just give up. Now you can get the spirit stone for you two."
"This..."
"Brother, let's forget it! The next puzzle must be very difficult!" The man and woman looked at each other, and the woman whispered.
"Don't be afraid, everyone will help you guess."
"Yes! What are you afraid of!" Before his senior brother could say anything, the spectators on the side cheered and said.
"Then guess a few more questions!" The man saw the others making noises and said without losing face.
"Listen up! Look at the circle, touch the numbness, and guess something!" Lu Caixing looked around and saw that there were many people watching, so he immediately said.
"Orange!"
Just after I finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
"That's right. Listen to the following question. Type one word that is half true and half false!" Lu Caixing continued.
"Worth it!"
…
This event is held in the store on New Year's Eve, just to make it lively and attract the attention of some tourists walking on the street. The puzzles are not difficult, and it can be regarded as a gift of spiritual stones.
Many big stores on the street will hold this event. With the cheers and enthusiastic participation of everyone, the couple quickly guessed the seven questions.
"The last question is Pair of Pairs. You can't help me with any more ideas. I would like to thank you in advance!" Lu Caixing first handed over to the crowd watching the excitement.
Then he said to the man and woman in front of him: "Just give me a rough idea. Listen carefully, the moon under the water is the moon in the sky!"
"The moon under the water is..." When the couple heard the last sentence, they both started thinking, and the onlookers who were watching, because the store said they were not allowed to help, and had ideas in their minds, couldn't help but secretly worry for these two people.
"The person in front of you is the person in front of you!" His senior brother thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he took the hand of the junior sister beside him and said affectionately.
"Okay, okay, this situation and this situation are so right!" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
The streets of Liuxian Town burst into laughter from time to time, accompanied by many young men and women.
The streets are crowded with vendors selling spiritual fruits and cakes, either picking or carrying them, hawking among the crowd. Each store is decorated with lights, with lion dances and instrumental music in front of the store, making it very lively.
But as soon as noon passed, most of the crowds on the streets quickly subsided, and some stores began to close. On New Year's Eve, apart from restaurants, which receive many tourists and casual practitioners, most stores are only open for half a day.
Because in the evening, each sect’s dining hall holds a New Year’s Eve dinner, which is especially sumptuous.
Most of the sect disciples who have finished their trip down the mountain will rush back to the mountain after noon.
All the disciples came to pay New Year's greetings and went on mountain tours together. When the New Year's Eve dinner was served, they would eat as much as they wanted, which only happened once a year. In the evening, the sect would also hold a grand night party in Huangyu Square.
Yufu Tower is no exception. After noon, the store will close after sending away the last customer.
Liu Yu called the clerks in the store, some of his disciples, to the counter and gave each of them a big red envelope, worth a thousand low-level spiritual stones.
Lu Caixing got the new year's money from her master, and immediately rushed out of the store with her fat bouncing bunny. She wanted to have a good time while the street was still lively.
Every store on the street is having a sale today. If you don’t buy it now, wait till later. Especially the Xianzhuangge on East Street. I heard that a new batch of high-quality makeup powder has been imported from Zhongzhou.
