Chapter 525 Night Market Lantern
Chapter 525 Night Market Lantern
When Xia Ran returned to Jimo, it was already evening.
Exhausted physically and mentally, he looked at the setting sun in the distant mountains, and heaved a long sigh. He deeply realized that reasoning with a paranoid is actually a meaningless and stupid thing.
It's not that the other party doesn't understand, nor is it that IQ is low, but they just don't want to believe what you say, but they are stubborn and must follow their own ideas, no matter what you say, they haven't changed their minds...
——This kind of person is simply crazy!
Jimo is as peaceful and peaceful as before. The aftermath of the previous battle has disappeared, and some of the collapsed buildings have been rebuilt. The efficiency is quite terrifying.
However, considering that there is a group of extraordinary people who are helping each other with great help, including immortals, magicians, mountain gods, demons and so on, this speed is actually not so incomprehensible, and there is not much technology in housing construction in this era. Content to speak of.
Xia Ran might be a little surprised if they built a skyscraper.
The villages and towns along the coast are quite festive. Every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, filled with a festive atmosphere. Even in the evening, the sound of gongs and drums can be heard from everywhere.
Xia Ran saw lively performances in many places at a glance, some were performing acrobatics, some were selling snacks, some were setting off firecrackers or performing lion dances... He immediately twitched the corners of his mouth: "Am I time-traveling? "
More than three days have passed, right?
Hu Immortal's big birthday has already passed, and such and such things happened before, no matter how you look at it, it's not very pleasant...
Why is Jimo now full of lights and festivities, beaming with joy?The adults are smiling, the children are walking around the streets, all kinds of banquets and lively performances, the atmosphere is so lively that it seems like it is Chinese New Year?
At this moment, he wondered if he had time-traveled.
With such doubts in mind, Xia Ran approached the town slowly. Many villagers along the road saw him at a glance, and they were surprised and happy at once.
"The fairy is back!"
"Thank you Immortal for your kindness..."
"Live gods! We must build temples and shrines, so that we can worship and worship..."
The crowd was extremely excited. You said something to each other, and they kept thanking the young Taoist, thanking you a lot, dancing, and some people even kowtowed continuously, or shouted various gods' names in a mess.
There were also people who vowed to build temples and ancestral halls for Xia Ran, and said that a good day and auspicious day had been chosen to prepare for major construction work, and the others were immediately inspired, and they all echoed, and continued in this direction— —
Although not everyone has the ability to build temples and shrines, it is necessary to set up a longevity tablet for the living god to receive incense from the world. At the same time, he is also asking the god to continue to protect his family, and there is no taboo to ask for a blessing from a heavenly official.
After all, although they ran for their lives in a panic before, it is obvious to all who helped lead the masses to hide, guide everyone to a safe place, and who showed their power to block that menacing blood demon...
Just like Saber and others turned into female bodhisattvas in Jimo, Xia Ran, a living god who personally went to hunt down the blood demons and exterminate the common people, was naturally admired and attracted much attention.
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic, as if there were a thousand ducks chirping.
Xia Ran also felt a little dizzy, and could only perfunctorily respond one by one, finally letting the villagers disperse contentedly, only then felt the rare cleanness, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief .
"Master Xia?"
A soft and graceful voice came, and he turned his head, just in time to see the girl standing on the trestle by the sea not far away, looking in this direction with a smile.
It's just that it's different from the previous daughter of the official family who was raised in a deep boudoir. She no longer wears a high-waisted floor-length skirt, elegant large sleeves, and elegant gauze, but a Qionghua style dress. The style of blue shirt and white clothes, but the temperament is more clear.
To be precise, it lacks a sense of illusory and dreamy feeling, but it has more of an ethereal fairy air that is not close to the fireworks in the world.
"Miss Liu, it's you, why are you here alone..." Xia Ran nodded in response, waved her hand by the way, and then looked around, but she didn't see Yun Tianhe and the others.
But it's probably conceivable—
Yun Tianhe, just refer to those children who run around holding windmills or kites, or chasing hawkers who buy candied haws, and they can't move their legs...
As for Han Lingsha, just refer to those adults who are so angry and gnashing their teeth who follow behind their brats and want to catch them back...
Maybe the result will be a little different, but it must be the same. Xia Ran has full confidence in this.This kind of thing does not require any prophecy talent at all, as long as you are familiar with the painting style of those two people, you should know what it is all about.
"They all still have things to do, and they are also helping to arrange the night market lanterns tonight..."
Seeing the other party approaching, Liu Mengli first leaned over and performed a lady's salute, and then said softly, "I just happened to meet someone I know here in Jimo, so I just chatted with him for a while... "
"People you know?"
Xia Ran was slightly curious at once, and when she turned her eyes, she quickly saw the back of a woman who was going away.
"Yes, her name is Qiulan, and she married from Taiping Village... A few years ago, before she married and left, she had been to Shouyang City several times."
Liu Mengli nodded lightly, pondered for a while, and said so.
"At that time, the trend of picking and making incense was just emerging, and I also taught her how to collect herbs and make incense..."
"So it's a friend I met at that time?"
"Friend? This is not it, it's just a few words I just said, you can be regarded as an acquaintance..." The girl shook her head and said flatly.
Her friend...how should I say it?Before leaving Shouyang City and setting off to wander the rivers and lakes, it can be said that there was almost no one.
"That's an old acquaintance from another land..." Xia Ran laughed softly, "But it seems that she is not doing well, did she complain to you just now?"
"Well, it's mainly some family disputes, but I don't know much about it..." Liu Mengli nodded and sighed softly. She had just enlightened that woman for a long time, but the effect was not necessarily very good.
To put it bluntly, it is the conflict between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law.It's just that it's hard for her to intervene in this kind of thing. She can only listen carefully, then speak out to guide her, and then give some ideal suggestions, mainly listening to the other party's complaints and venting.
"That's it, it's indeed a problem..." Xia Ran laughed, but didn't express any opinion.
Marrying from far away from Taiping Village is really a remarkable thing in this era, but no one would admire it.People only know that she was born in an unfamiliar place, and her natal family is far, far away, so there will be no one to support her.
But he can't interfere with this kind of thing, and it's not easy to intervene, so let Xia Shusheng, a good old man, have a headache.
Although everyone's surname is Xia, Xia Ran has always lived like an urban legend in Jimo. It is true that everyone says that there is a fairy in Yinxiang Mountain, but few people have seen him and confirmed his existence.
But Xia Yuanchen, the mountain god, is different. As a mountain god, he has always lived at the foot of the mountain, living with mortals for hundreds of years.
And because his personality has always been that of a good-natured person, he can be called anxious and righteous. Over time, he has become the village head and town head of Jimo, with great prestige and popularity.
Most of the disputes and disputes that arise among people are often resolved by Xia Shusheng, including daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, and trivial matters. He is never impatient, but full of patience until the problem is resolved.
"But having said that, what are you doing today? Isn't Hu San's birthday already passed? Are they going to make it up again?"
Changing the topic, Xia Ran stood on the trestle bridge and looked at the town decorated with lights.
"Today's lantern is to celebrate Mr. Xia, you slayed demons and demons. After all, Miss Xia told everyone the message you sent back today, saying that there is nothing to do, so the villagers want to celebrate..."
As the sea breeze blew, Liu Mengli stretched out her hand to hold her fluttering long hair, and replied like this.
"Well, it's like New Year's Eve. The Nian Beast has been chased away, so we really need to celebrate..." Xia Ran thought for a while, and felt that this logic is really impeccable, and there are indeed reasons for it.
It's just that there's no way around it. Those people seem to have evaporated from the world. It seems that they won't show up even if they are killed. , of course it is also possible.
After all, he didn't think that group of people really came here to fight Jimo, so there was no need for Jimo people to live in fear in the future.
But people seem to trust him very much. Now that they heard that the previous threat has been lifted, they all feel that the demons must have been killed by the gods. This is something worthy of celebration.
Maybe after that, this celebration will be passed down year after year until it becomes a folk custom like Chinese New Year and Dragon Boat Festival.
It's just that when the group of people said that they wanted to build temples and ancestral halls for themselves, Xia Ran felt a little subtle. Could it be that his image in the future will be like Zhong Kui on the Dragon Boat Festival?
"The night market lanterns are not bad, but I'm getting tired of seeing them..."
Xia Ran shook her head, no longer thinking about what was there, but directly waved to Liu Mengli: "By the way, there is still some time before the night market starts, Miss Liu, come with me."
"Huh?" The girl looked at him in surprise.
"Guangji Hantu, didn't you come here just for this thing?" Xia Ran replied casually, "This thing doesn't mean anything to me, I just give it to you, lest they have to come to harass me later, which is too troublesome very……"
"..."
"..."
"...Is this really okay, Mr. Xia? I heard that you got this cold weapon from that mountain god 15 years ago."
Liu Mengli thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice, Jian Shui stared straight at him, and there seemed to be a lot of deep meaning in the words.
Now she is full of doubts about what happened back then, and she doesn't trust Xuan Xiao very much. At least until she understands everything, she is not sure whether it is a good choice to release Xuan Xiao.
And the young man in front of her seemed to know everything inside out, and it was very likely that she had already arranged it in a targeted manner, but now she readily handed over the chiller that she had already obtained, which made her a little confused.
Could it be that the other party has some new information and thinks Xuan Xiao is trustworthy?Or simply don't take Xuan Xiao seriously?
"It has nothing to do with this. Whether Xuan Xiao can come out or not has nothing to do with the cold device, it's just his own choice. As long as he wants to, he can break through the ice at any time..."
Xia Ran shook her head.
"The cold device is just a layer of protection for himself when he is still able to think rationally. It is actually beneficial to give him. If he can really use the cold device to maintain rationality, then it is naturally the best..."
Although judging from the original plot, the three cold weapons were still no match for Yang Yan's violence, and Xuan Xiao went completely crazy shortly after breaking through the ice.
But if he didn't have the three cold weapons, he would definitely be even more crazy, and he might even kill Yun Tianhe, not the kind who is merciful everywhere.
