Chapter 88: Snow and Clouds Disperse(1/2)
It is a bit different from the coldness of Lin Mansion, but the other four mansions are brightly lit and the sound of fireworks is endless. It is already night. However, due to the cold winter month, the city that should have been shrouded in the night has a layer of hazy layer, like a thin gauze curtain covering it, which looks a bit intoxicating.
Occasionally a snowflake fell in the sky, but it was melted by the light of the fireworks soaring into the sky, accompanied by a string of trembling laughter like silver bells, and a group of girls cheered and chased them here.
Tianxiang Mansion.
The maids were in groups, holding fruits and fruits in their hands, or carrying incense burners, walking towards the attic. The weather in the twelfth lunar month was the coldest at night, but there was no such feeling in Tianxiang Mansion. A long corridor ran across a warm pool. Spring water emerged from the warm pool, and a trace of hot air dissipated to the surroundings, dispelling the cold. Runes could be seen vaguely appearing in the pool. If a formation was wet again, you would be shocked. This was a formation arranged by a great magical power, which pulled the heat dissipated by the earth fire thousands of feet below the surface, and condensed it in the pool to collect heat. By eating it, it would not feel cold or hot.
At this time, on the highest floor of this pavilion, there were a group of beautiful mountain girls surrounded by two ladies, a group of people gathered together and talked about each other, but each of them had a smile on their faces. However, unlike in the past, several of the girls were dressed very eye-catching. The women in Tianxiang Mansion were mainly white, and only in special etiquette would wear red. Today, eight women were wearing red clothes and sat upright beside the two women with a quiet face.
"Sister, the daughters of your Tianxiang Mansion are so amazing, they are all better than us." A lady in purple dress spoke, and she was a little dissatisfied in her words, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the woman in white in front of her with a smile.
"Sister, what are you and I saying? You and I come from the same place, the same origin, but why are you laughed at by my sister instead? "The woman in white shook her head and smiled, a little amused and crying.
"Aunt Hong, the sisters are the ones that make us envious. We have more than one step forward and retreat among the thousands of murderers. However, we sisters have dragged our sisters back and asked our sisters to protect us." A girl behind the woman in white spoke softly, her eyes bright and crisp.
"You know that you are giving to our faces. Those who know the truth know that you are joking, and those who don't know think that we are so brave. Could it be that my sister bullies us people in the mountains?"
A girl in red walked out from behind the woman in purple and was as quarreling with the girl, with a strong aura.
The rest of the people stopped whispering, but looked here. It was obvious that the words of the few people aroused everyone's interest.
"Forget it, it's all family. What's going on. Let's have a meal, as a celebration for your daughters." After the woman said that, a group of maids came forward with various delicacies. After a moment, a large table of banquets were set up. At the white woman's instructions, the girls took their seats one after another, looking at the table of delicacies, and everyone's eyes were much brighter.
"Greedy, eat it." The two women also smiled bitterly when they saw this, waved their hands and walked out of the attic. Not far away, and laughter came from the room.
"It's good to miss it, sister."
"Yes, do you regret leaving the village?"
"Maybe."
"Go back and have a look, the old man misses you very much."
"good."
Li's Mansion.
"Dad, why are you not outside and here?" A young man in white spoke, but it was Li Yun.
A middle-aged man choked to death and looked a little similar to Li Yun, but he was full of majesty. Li Yun was a little restrained in front of Qi. At this time, the man sighed when he saw Li Yun like this.
"Yun'er, have you ever blamed your father?" The middle-aged man suddenly said this for some reason, which made Li Yun a little at a loss.
"Brother Feng, why are you talking about these things? You are not doing them for Yun'er. Yun'er will understand, right, Yun'er." A thirty-year-old woman gave the middle-aged man a blank look, and then kindly helped his child tidy up his cuffs.
"What my mother said is reasonable. Father, I have never blamed you. Yun'er was ignorant before, so she worried her father." Li Yun said to his father. At this time, Li Yun was not as calm as before, but a good child in front of his parents.
"Go to the academy and take good care of your brother." The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and told Li Yun.
"Yes, father."
"Um."
The palace.
There were thick fallen leaves under an old tree. The snowy weather did not cover these fallen leaves, nor did anyone come to sweep them away. Almost the fallen leaves of the old tree were here. At this time, a young man with a somewhat lonely figure stood on these fallen leaves and looked at the old tree above his head, and remained motionless for a long time.
There are many branches of old trees, and thin branches are spread all over every inch of the skin of the old trees. However, the more this happens, the more it seems that the years of the existence of the old trees are long.
A woman in her forty years old stood under the eaves in the distance, looking at her child's figure, the woman couldn't help but sigh.
The young man seemed to have some awareness, his body moved slightly, but he did not turn around, but silently activate his cultivation and steamed the splashes in his eyes.
"Mother."
After a moment, the boy turned around and looked at his biological mother under the eaves, but his eyes were dodging.
"Child, your uncle will be happy for you." The woman walked over, her skirt swayed, her face was a little pale, and her eyes had crow's feet, but this made the woman more calm and charming when the exam was taken away. When time deprived her of her youthful beauty, it also left her something special.
"Well, my mother also needs to take good care of herself, I will come back." The boy spoke, thinking that he was about to leave his mother, and he felt a little sad.
"This child, don't worry about your mother when you go outside, and don't blame your father. He also has difficulties in your uncle's affairs." The woman continued to speak, but the boy's expression was extremely complicated when he heard his father and son.
"Mom, has the banquet started?" The boy should continue this topic without limit.
"Mom is here to find you. Let's go. It's a happy thing to have a few people in the mansion." The woman sighed lightly in her heart, but she smiled and spoke.
Then, the young man walked out of his yard with his mother. After a long time, only the breeze drifted by here, sweeping away a few leaves. The young man was Wang Yuan, the only young man in the younger generation of the Wang family who had cultivated the eyes of the king.
In addition, in Duanxiang City, restaurants are crowded. Except for the four major mansions, the rest are all ethnic groups that have come out of the great wilderness. Therefore, they can only live and travel in inns and restaurants. Moreover, their children have more or less people entering Tianyun Academy, which naturally earns face for the clan. Therefore, celebrations are indispensable. Fortunately, at least one of the several ethnic groups has entered it, and there is no situation where none of the existing ethnic groups has entered. Although some ethnic groups do not have the advantage in number, it does not hinder the interest of the older generation.
However, the atmosphere in a restaurant is a bit strange.
This restaurant was conquered by the Thunder Clan, the Bone Clan, and the Fire Clan. Although it is three tribes, there are quite a few who have given up, with about a hundred people. Among them, four young men from the Bone Clan entered, three of the Thunder Clan, but only two of the Fire Clan, but there are fewer people in the Fire Clan, so the two quotas are considered very good.
Moreover, it seems that the Fire Clan and the Thunder Clan are known to the older generation, so the Fire Clan and the Thunder Clan simply celebrate together, which is naturally extremely happy for the younger generation. After contact, they also met Qiqi and 88, and even called brothers. When the older generation saw it, they naturally stroked their hands and nodded repeatedly. Among them, the young men entering Tianyun Academy sat together, discussing magical powers together, verifying each other's Taoism, or mentioning the mystery deep in the Great Wilderness, everyone was happy.
On the other side, the Bone Clan was dull and silent. Occasionally, when a boy looked at the Thunder Clan Fire Clan, he would be immediately warned by his peers because the older generation had extremely gloomy faces. The Bone Spirit, Gu Yi and the other two boys who entered Tianyun Academy wanted to hide their heads, as if entering Tianyun Academy was extremely shameful.
Of course, this is not the reason. If the wood name is here, it will definitely be clear at a glance. Because it is closely related to the wood name, it is nothing else. If you swallow the ancestral treasure of someone, how can you not be depressed?
"What's going on? The people of the Bone Clan all have nightmares like their parents who died." At the banquet where the Thunder Clan Fire Clan was located, there was a young man who was puzzled. He was full of joy here, but he was indeed like losing his parents there.
A few teenagers spoke nonsense, and although the voice was not loud, some people in the Bone Clan naturally heard it. After hearing it, they were so depressed. They shouted loudly in their hearts, if you lose your magic treasure, you can still laugh?
"Piper." With a loud bang, an old man in a skeleton robe slapped a corner of the table with one palm. Two angry eyes crushed with a strong pressure. The boys suddenly felt stuffy in their chests, as if they were hit by a giant hammer, and their faces were pale.
"Hmph." A master in the Thunder Clan snorted coldly, and invisibly dispersed, immediately blocking the pressure.
"Bullying the small by bullying the small will all be the rule of the Bone Clan?" A flame soared into the air, emitting a strong pressure that was not weak to the old man of the Bone Clan, blocking his aura back.
"Old Qi, forget it, don't scare the children." An old voice came out, and the scattered pressure of the Thunder Clan Fire Clan disappeared invisible, and the two of them turned pale and their faces were a little solemn. However, after the old voice came out, the tense atmosphere in the restaurant disappeared, returning to their previous appearance.
"Brother." The old man called Lao Qi was unhappy, but he stopped doing anything after seeing the eldest brother glaring.
However, his eyes were staring at the Leihuo clan.
After such a stir, the atmosphere of the banquet became less lively, but it did not exist for a kind of teenager. After some fighting and quarrels, they even started to sing and drinking. At first, they were worried that their elders would disagree. However, when they saw the older generations turned a blind eye, everyone became more unscrupulous. In the end, everyone had a hint of redness on their faces, and their faces were red for a moment. Many people obviously had the first time to come into contact with these things, and they were a little excited, and they felt a little flushed.
"We are old, and the children are growing up." An old man in the Fire Clan stroked his long red beard, and then he roared with his little kid. The little kid was not shy. Perhaps because of the alcohol, he even made another drink for the old man who called him. The old man was amused and crying. The old man Huo was the name of the Fire Clan, but he didn't blame him. He raised his glasses with them, and was extremely proud.
However, this scene was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the Bone Clan. Some people wanted to do it, but they were stopped. They had to turn their resentful eyes to the Bone Spirit Bone. However, the most depressing one was the latter. At this time, his nose was blue and swollen. He woke up shortly after being teleported over. However, he was also confused and didn't even know how to give birth. He could only remember that he had a dream. In the dream, he was like drunk, stumbled. When he woke up, he found that he was in a formidable state, and several bags appeared red on his forehead.
Not to mention here, except for the strange atmosphere of the restaurant, other restaurants and inns are full of joy.
Since the children of all races practice Taoism in the same place in the future, the older generations of all races have made friendships and become deep in the wilderness. Therefore, they are considered half a fellow villager, like the Fire Clan Thunder Clan, the younger ones get along with the younger ones, and the older ones talk about the older ones, and in short, they all get along happily.
In another restaurant, the situation was a bit special, because some creatures on this table were humans, to be precise, there were some weird beings, which made the banquet look a bit weird, but it seemed that no one cared about it.
Qi Sha was also among them, his face turned slightly red, holding a wine jar in his hand, grinning with a big mouth, and smiling at a little pig in front of him.
"I said you are really a weirdo? Why do you look like other pigs?"
Qi Sha was drinking on his own, but he didn't notice that the little pig's face was already ashen.
"You little kid, how many times have I told you that I am a divine beast, not a pig." After that, my hooves put a bowl of wine into my mouth, but the pig's hooves were not big, so they looked a little funny.
"Are you just a pig after all?" A young man next to Qi Sha spoke, but Liu Monkey. Liu Monkey's cultivation was not high, but he persisted until the end in the second floor pavilion. Moreover, he did not appear in the altar to protect the green mist, but in the bone domain, he persisted until the end. Qi Sha was also puzzled because with the strength of Qi Sha, he felt difficult in the group of ferocious beasts. However, Liu Monkey said that the ferocious beasts did not attack him, and even took the initiative to give way to him. Qi Sha secretly exclaimed when he heard this, but he was extremely happy.
"Boy, although our monster clan is similar to some ferocious beasts, it is very different. Those ferocious beasts are not creatures of nine orifices, but we are indeed different." A black stone was slapped with a sip of wine jar, and then it was shaken, and the wine in the jar was scattered, but it was swallowed by several small holes on the stone, which looked a little weird.
"Hey, what a black stone, why is it so similar to the flint in our village?" A young man looked confused and walked over at this time and patted the black stone.
"Haha..." Everyone said that children's words were free, and the child's words caused everyone to laugh. The loudest laughter was the Tengu. In addition, a snake spitting out a snake's letter was a little scared.
The black stone trembled repeatedly when he heard the sound, obviously being angry, but he was also depressed, because the black head came out of a crater, and it was not an exaggeration to say it was a flint.
There were a few people sitting quietly in the second floor loft in this restaurant. The wine and food in front of them did not start moving, but there were some traces in the wine pot in the cup.
"Mr. Hu, is this the stubborn stone?" asked an old man with a little white beard, his eyes as if he could see through the floor and look at the black stone.
"Yes, I'm just not out of my body, and my mind is like a child." A gourd in front of the old man trembled gently, and a sound came out of the gourd that had been tied on the tree.
"That child is Liu Monkey. He has the bloodline of the Ape King in his body. It's just strange that the bloodline is not thin, but there are signs of rebirth." A peach tree next to the old gourd opened his mouth. Some of the peaches on the tree were already silvery and a fragrance scent was emitting, making people feel clear when they smelled it.
"You have good eyesight, you can see it." The old man who spoke before narrowed his eyes and smiled. This person was the elder of the Qisha clan, who protected several people all the way.
When I was young, I was always easy to forget my worries. A large number of people in this selection have been eliminated. At first, I was extremely upset, but as the banquet progressed, many people had forgotten the previous unhappiness and secretly made up their minds, hoping that they could enter the next time they chose.
However, Mu Ming didn't know these external situations, and there was no need to know. At this time, the little monk Mu Ming and others sat in a pavilion with the head of Lin's family. The pavilion was built in the water. However, the water surface had been frozen and covered with snow, making the pavilion a little abrupt, with only a white world set off.
"Come on, you guys don't have to be restrained, just like Fang'er." The head of Lin's family smiled and looked at the people and smiled, then raised the cup in his hand.
The little monk Mu Ming no longer had the initial restraint, and raised his wine glasses one after another, then drank it all in one go.
As a mouthful of lilac liquid entered the throat, Mu Ming felt a spiciness in his throat, but after a moment the spicy taste disappeared. A cool smell spread throughout the body, and the pores of the whole body were relaxed, and there was indescribable comfort, but the body was not cold, but warm.
"What kind of wine is this? Why is it different from what I used to drink secretly?" The little monk's eyes shone, and he felt a slight breakthrough in his cultivation. He was shocked.
"Haha... Everyone says Buddhist monks are strict, but it is an exception to you." The head of Lin family replied with a smile.
"I can't blame me. My master said that the lamp oil was not good, so he took me to drink Buddha wine secretly." The little monk didn't agree and then drank another glass of it himself.
"There is still Buddha wine in Buddhism?" Lin Fang was puzzled, her eyes trembled slightly, and her eyelashes seemed to be spiritual.
Mu Ming is also curious about how there is wine in Buddhism.
"It's not wine, but dew collected by Buddhism. The grass and trees on Foshan are covered by Buddhist scriptures every day. Over time, the dew produced by the grass and trees has a trace of Buddha nature. The original Buddha's people in the world were born in the world. Because their six senses were unclean and missed the wine of the world, they collected the flower dew and the grass and trees to brew it, so they were called Buddha wine."
The one who spoke was not the little monk, but the head of the Lin family, but the little monk was surprised when he heard this.
"Once my uncle was a Buddhist disciple?" The little monk said in a shocking voice.
"Nothing nonsense, your father is the monk." Lin Fang was coquettish and despised the young monk, and all the reasons were explained.
