The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

One week before the examination begins.

Early in the morning of that day, Luo Yiyi was dragged out of her warm bed by Xiao Cui.

After washing and dressing up, Xiao Cui took the dry food she had prepared in the morning, took Luo Yiyi's hand, and got into a carriage that had been hired the day before.

After a bumpy ride, the two got off the carriage half an hour later.

Luo Yiyi stretched lazily, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and after trying hard to open them, she was surprised to find that they were standing at the foot of a mountain with a staircase made of stone slabs in front of them.

What was even more surprising was that at this moment there was a huge crowd of people around them. Men and women of different ages walked up the steps with their companions, and their destination was obviously the temple on the mountain.

"Xiao Cui, why do so many people want to climb the mountain?"

"Yiyi, have you forgotten? Today is the wishing day. All the single people in the city are gathered here today. Legend has it that as long as you climb to the Lingzhao Temple on the top of the mountain and make a wish to the Buddha, and then the single women write their names on the lotus lanterns and place them in the temple's release pond, if a man picks up the lotus lantern, the two will eventually become a couple."

After hearing such a magical story, Luo Yiyi’s sleepiness disappeared instantly and she became more energetic.

"So this is what the Wishing Day we heard about yesterday is like? But didn't they say it was just a matchmaking event?"

"I guess so. After all, the chance of picking up a lotus lantern is very small, so more single men and women come here today just for blind dates, to see if they can find their ideal husband or wife. And isn't there still seven days before the imperial examination?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"The girls are all betting that if the ideal man they find can become the top scholar in the future, wouldn't that mean they will fly up to the tree and become a phoenix?"

Luo Yiyi was puzzled: "But how do they know who is the top scholar?"

Xiao Cui had obviously done some research: "This is a gamble among the girls to see who can identify the top scholar. So the most popular candidates today will surely be surrounded by many people. Oh, right! Liu Jieyuan should not be able to escape the clutches of the girls either!"

Hearing the word "devil's hand", Luo Yiyi's mouth twitched. From another perspective, if you integrate into the female world, you will find that women are the most powerful in the world, and men are far inferior to them.

However, thinking of the scene of Qi Gui being surrounded by beauties today, she regretted whether she should change back to her current status. In this way, wouldn't she be the one who could enjoy the beauty?

With a sense of jealousy, she rushed towards the stairs without saying a word.

Xiao Cui hurriedly followed behind and reminded: "Yiyi, slow down! You slow down! Be careful not to fall!"

Unfortunately, after chasing for a while, Xiao Cui lost Luo Yiyi in the crowded crowd. She wanted to speed up anxiously, but because the steps were narrow and there were people in front of her, her speed slowed down instead.

Relying on the advantage of her small body, Luo Yiyi ran to the top of the mountain in a shorter time.

Without having time to doubt her unusually abundant physical strength, she was attracted by the ancient temple in front of her.

A tall thousand-year-old ginkgo tree stands at the end of the road, with the temple gate on the other side.

Luo Yiyi slowly approached it and stretched out her little hand and touched the tree.

She once heard someone say that these trees that carry thousands of years of memories are spiritual. They have experienced the vicissitudes of life, know a past that you don't know, and can also glimpse the future.

"I think you know whether what Qi Gui said is true or not. Then who am I? Am I Liu Xing or the Luo Yiyi he mentioned?"

A breeze blew by, and the ginkgo leaves rustled, as if answering her question, but how could a mortal understand the language of gods?

Luo Yiyi sighed softly, withdrew her hand and walked towards the temple gate.

I thought there were already enough people outside, but unexpectedly there were twice as many people in the temple.

The square in front of the main hall was packed with people, and even when lighting incense, one had to be extra careful, otherwise one might accidentally burn someone else's clothes. Even so, at least six out of ten people passing by had black holes on their clothes.

From the conversations of others, she could tell that several popular students this year had already finished burning incense and were probably at the release pond. So Luo Yiyi turned around and ran to the release pond.

The path that usually leads to the release pond was blocked today. There was a row of stalls on one side of the path, some selling lotus lanterns, some selling masks, and some selling small commodities and food. Of course, the food they sold was all vegetarian.

Since today's event only lasted half a day and was welcomed by all young people, no one came out to stop the behavior of occupying space to sell goods.

Luo Yiyi stood aside and looked at the crowded stall. She lowered her head and touched herself, and tragically found that she was penniless. All the money was with Xiao Cui. But she was unwilling to cross the crowd to find Xiao Cui.

Hopefully, she went straight to the volunteer guarding the railing and shamelessly tried to blend in with the crowd.

Unfortunately, a pair of ruthless hands pulled her out of the crowd, and a middle-aged woman wearing a mask looked at Luo Yiyi with a smile.

"Little kid, this is not the place for you to be. Be obedient and go find your parents."

"Why can't I go in here? I was able to go in here before."

"This morning, a very important event for the older brothers and sisters was being held inside. Only those wearing masks and holding lotus lanterns were allowed to enter."

As they spoke, the father and daughter pointed to the people wearing masks and holding lotus lanterns, meaning that they had to have these two things to enter.

Seeing the angry and unwilling expression on Luo Yiyi's face, he thought that her parents did not buy her a mask on purpose to prevent them from running around, so he left with peace of mind and continued to guard the railing.

In fact, the reason why the act of trafficking has not been criticized is that when selling masks, vendors will remind customers that they must be single to participate in the event, otherwise they will be punished.

This is also a reminder to those uninformed outsiders not to harm others out of curiosity.

At the same time, spending money can also shield some people with impure motives. After all, in their view, wasting money for an almost illusory possibility is a very uneconomical deal.

Luo Yiyi grabbed the railing and tried to see if she could find Qi Gui through the gap, but this was obviously impossible. Because of the trees, she couldn't even see the release pond.

Just when she was about to give up, a lotus lantern fell from the sky and appeared before her in the blink of an eye.

"what?"

She subconsciously raised her head and looked back, and a face wearing a half-covered mask appeared in her eyes. She recognized the person almost at first sight.

"Ghost?"

Because he didn't need to transform into Liu Xing because he was wearing a mask, Qi Gui calmly showed his original form to others.

"Master, are you looking for a disciple?"

Luo Yiyi was stunned, and when she turned to face him, she denied it righteously: "You think too much, I just came to join in the fun."

Her serious look actually showed that she had something to hide, and Qi Gui smiled with his eyes curved.

"I have already bought the mask and lotus lantern for Master. Would you like to go in and experience the activities?"

Luo Yiyi opened her eyes wide in surprise, quickly took the mask from his other hand and put it on her face, then impatiently took the lotus lantern and looked at it curiously.

"Is this the lotus lantern that we're going to put on the water later?"

Qi Gui helped her adjust the elastic of the mask's rubber band and answered, "That's right. But you have to write on it first, and then light the candle in the middle before putting it in the water."

Luo Yiyi nodded, and when she came to her senses, Qi Gui was leading her into the venue by the hand.
