NPC Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 130 The Lantern and the First Couplet

Compared to Ying Yaochen, Zhu Jiuge is quite easy to deal with.

Zhu Jiuge has become completely accustomed to Lin Xiaolin's attachment to his junior brother Zhixiu in recent days, so it is not surprising at all when he hears that she wants to drag him out.Even, he himself often gets assists inadvertently without knowing it, and only blames it on his own bad taste.

Lin Xiaolin stood directly in front of Zhi, tugged on his sleeve, and said, "Come with me. Let's go to the temple to watch the lanterns."

Zhi was "sluggish", and before there was any reaction, Zhu Jiuge pushed him: "Junior Brother Zhixiu, since Miss Jiu called you, then you can go out with Miss Jiu."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhuwu." Zhi nodded, and replied blankly, but actually secretly laughed in his heart.

So, Zhi was dragged out of the Blood Demon Palace by Lin Xiaolin, all the way to the street, and squeezed into the crowded crowd.

When they were far away from the Blood Demon Palace, Lin Xiaolin asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do next?"

When she said this, her eyes couldn't help looking at the rare lanterns on both sides of the street.

At this time, on both sides of the street, festive red lanterns were hung on the doorways of every house, and the quiet alleys among them, when you look over, you can see five-color gorgeous glazed lanterns, looking from a distance, it looks like a rainbow. Dreamlike.

Everyone who comes and goes also carries a small paper lantern in his hand. The small paper lantern is painted with flowers, birds, mountains and water. The shapes are also different, including octagonal lanterns, round cages, lotus shapes... ...Moreover, it is held in the hand by a rope, floating in the air like a balloon.

Zhi lowered his head, and was about to answer, but he saw Lin Xiaolin blinking his eyes. After watching the quiet alley, he looked up at the various red lanterns under the eaves, and then stared at the lanterns in the hands of passers-by. When seeing something strange and cute, her eyes would light up, and her pink lips parted slightly.

He couldn't help but smile.

She was dressed very beautifully today. When he first saw her at the banquet, he felt that she was like a cherry blossom falling from the clouds. If he hadn't been used to pretending to be dull in front of Zhu Jiu Ge, that momentary reaction would definitely have caused Zhu Jiu to Too much attention to the song.

But at this time, reflected by the streamer of lanterns, she was even more beautiful than real.

At this time, Lin Xiaolin saw that Zhi had not responded to her, so she couldn't help but look up at him. When she looked, she saw that his clear eyes were looking at her intently.

For a moment, both of them saw each other in each other's pupils.

Lin Xiaolin felt that the world suddenly became quiet. The monsters around him came and went, but they seemed to be just phantoms. It seemed that only himself and the young man in Tsing Yi were left in the huge Shenxue City.

The noisy sounds around him were also far away from him, making it hard to hear clearly like the background sound, only his heartbeat stopped violently and frantically after a momentary pause.

She saw the young man in green clothes in front of her smile, and then she felt her fingers being held by him. She heard him say:
"Let's take a walk around first. As for the action, if there is any movement from the Ying Yao Chen and the deputy commander of the Red Flame Beast, we won't be too late to set off. This festival in the demon world is also rare. I am very interested. Ah Jiu is willing Come and see with me?"

In the past few days, Ding Nongmen and Ding Nongmen have already served more than half of the monsters in Shenxue City, including the deputy commander of Chiyan Beast who guards Shenxue Mountain Demon Emperor's Temple and his soldiers.This means that the monster soldiers of Shenxue Mountain are already within Zhi's control.

During the period, Zhu Jiuge also found out that the stolen Xueyuan weapon was hidden in the Shenxue Mountain. He took advantage of "precautions before illness" in the Temple of the Demon Emperor, looking for suspicious places everywhere.Fortunately, the passage under Shenxue Mountain is very secret, even when they got there, Zhu Jiuge couldn't find the entrance for a while.

Because the actions of the parrot demon minister and the deputy commander of the red flame beast were under Zhi's control, at this moment, he could let Lin Xiaolin follow his own preferences and take a tour of Chenxue City.

As soon as Lin Xiaolin heard Zhi's words and looked at his extremely clear pupils, he immediately smiled and nodded decisively: "Yes."

She also knew that he clearly saw her interest, but he insisted on saying that he wanted to see it. It was really...

Although she complained so much in her heart, Lin Xiaolin was very sweet.

The two of them were walking along the road paved with bluestones. Groups of passing monsters were holding lanterns and talking about the sky. There were all kinds of lanterns, and there were also all kinds of stalls on the street, including those selling mud, and those selling lanterns. Masks, fireworks sellers, flower sellers...the chatter mixed with the cries of sellers made it very lively.

Suddenly, four gongs sounded "dang, dang, dang, dang," followed by suona, firecrackers, and string music from afar.

"Wuyou Jiao, Wuyou Jiao is here." The people around said excitedly, and automatically retreated to the edge of the street.

Not long after, there was a group of banshees in dancing clothes twisting their graceful bodies to clear the way, and behind them were a group of musicians, who either played the flute, played the pipa, or played the erhu... ten thousand sounds harmoniously sang together.

They were divided into two columns and walked on both sides of the street, and in the middle was a dragon made of five hundred monsters holding short lanterns. The dragon was brilliant and extraordinary, and it was moving gracefully with the sound of music.

"Haha, look, look, that dragon's eyes are like two twinkling light bulbs."

When the dancing dragon passed by Lin Xiaolin and Zhi, Lin Xiaolin tugged on Zhi's sleeve and pointed at the dragon lantern made of paper.

"I think it looks like two crystal buns." Zhi laughed.

When the monster holding the dragon's head heard this, his dancing hands froze for a moment.But he was still a professional at any rate, he just froze for a moment, and then danced again, only contemptuous of these two people on the street in his heart because their aesthetics were too low.

Of course, Lin Xiaolin and Zhi didn't know that they were despised by a monster. They were holding hands and going on to the Xiangsi Bridge. After a while, it was time to set off the fireworks. Watch from the pavilion , you can see the connection between the water and the sky, thousands of fireworks, reflected in an interesting way, it can be said that it is the most beautiful place to watch fireworks.

When he was about to reach the Hongdou River, amidst the noisy voices, a small stall owner called out: "Guess the lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles, you can choose any lantern you guess! No money!"

Lin Xiaolin took a look, and saw that the owner of the stall had set up two wooden frames with eaves, on which countless lanterns were hung, and on the top were strings of stars hung with luminous silver wires. Ordinary glass lamps.

Lin Xiaolin caught her eye at a glance and saw a fox-shaped paper lantern on a wooden stand. She pulled Zhi over and said, "Boss, I want that fox lantern."

"Hey, girl, wait a minute, I have to read the lantern riddle first... this one, hey, why didn't you write a lantern riddle?" The stall owner looked back and forth at the fox lantern, frowning.

"There are no lantern riddles, so can I buy it directly?" Lin Xiaolin said.

She thought that if she paid the money and delivered the goods with one hand, the stall owner was a businessman, so she would definitely agree.

"No, no, today is the Yaoyao Festival. If the lanterns used to guess the lantern riddles are missing, it is not a good omen." The stall owner waved his hand, looked at Lin Xiaolin and said, "Why don't you choose another one? .”

Lin Xiaolin shook his head: "No, that's all I want."

"If there is no more lantern riddles, why don't you, the stall owner, write a new one?" Tomoya reminded him at the right time.

"Oh, yes, my stupid head!" The stall owner patted his head, picked up an ink pen next to him, and wanted to write, but he didn't write for a while.

He only heard him muttering: "Come up at two o'clock, type a word? Ah, no, this has been used... the festival fireworks, type an idiom? Ah, no, this has also been used..."

"It's okay if you use it, the boss can order it casually, we still want to go to the Xiangsi Bridge to take a viewing position. Can you hurry up?" Lin Xiaolin couldn't help seeing that the stall owner kept talking but didn't write. Said.

"Ah! I seem to have thought of it... Oh, no, I've used it before!" The stall owner thought hard, and then replied to Lin Xiaolin, "No, girl, we have to have principles as demons. I've already used it. It's boring to guess! But after you urged me like this, I can't even remember it. Oh, this is..."

"But this is that, but until when, boss, you can be more casual, or if you can't think of a lantern riddle, you can use couplets?" Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but see that the stall owner was still dilly-dallying. said anxiously.

Unexpectedly, when the stall owner heard her words, he suddenly slapped his legs and said, "Ah, this is a great first couplet!"

As he said that, he "swish, swish" and wrote words on the fox lantern with a kind of spirit.

He turned his head and held the lantern, looked at Lin Xiaolin, and said, "The upper line is 'but this is that'. Since the girl has the upper line, she must also have the second line. Hey, I'm really cheating, the upper and lower lines It's all up to the seller himself."

But Lin Xiaolin was stunned for a moment.

But this or that? !
Who told him that this is the first couplet from her! !
