The New Year's Eve in Danzhou is not called the Spring Festival, and it has nothing to do with the farming season.

Instead, it is called "Out of Cold Festival".

But the essence is similar, both mean that the cold of the year is about to pass, spring is coming, flowers are blooming, and the world is reviving.

There is also a legend that in the ancient times long ago, extreme cold suddenly appeared and froze the Danzhou continent for 900 years, causing great suffering to all living things and the extinction of all things.

Later, the Sun God descended on Danzhou Continent with nine golden crows. The golden crows flew around Danzhou Continent, spreading the Sun's true fire everywhere, melting the ice cap, and the continent revived.

In order to commemorate the true sun god, ancient ancestors named the day of the true god's advent the Out of Cold Festival.

As to whether a true god really descended during that period, or whether the rules of heaven simply changed, it is no longer possible to verify.

But it is true that the weather will start to warm up from the day of the End of Cold Festival.

Lin'an City was very lively during the Cold Festival, but for Qin He, it lacked the festive atmosphere.

It’s not the food, not the popularity, nor the dazzling array of goods, but the smoke of war.

There is no gunpowder in this world.

So there were no more firecrackers, let alone fireworks.

The protagonist of the Cold Festival is the lantern.

Various kinds of lanterns.

Three days before and after the Cold Festival, the government will send city guards and martial arts students to patrol the night to ensure the safety of Lin'an City at night.

Under the lights that are as bright as a sea of ​​stars, the residents of the city dare to go out at night to enjoy the lanterns, watch the flower boats, and visit the lantern festival. It is very lively.

The major institutions and museums have a wide variety of activities, and the annual Cold Ending Festival is also a good opportunity for institutions and museums to compete with each other across the air.

Whoever wins brilliantly will be guaranteed the popularity of the academy in the following year.

The three first-class academies in the capital: Cuiqinglou, Yanzhitang and Yixiangyuan, are trying their best to compete for supremacy.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

The second year ranking of the first-rank officials in the capital will be decided in these three days. Although the competition will be held remotely, it will still be fierce.

Cuiqinglou just set up a fairy flower scattering event upstairs.

Yanzhitang then set up a fairy in front of the door to distribute wealth.

The next day, Cui Qinglou held another "hundred lights to look for beauty" event.

Yixiangyuan followed the trend and immediately created a courtesan with thousands of lights.

Cai Linglong, the madam of Cuiqinglou, was immediately furious. She wanted Yixiangyuan and Yanzhitang to do the same thing as Cai Linglong, and even made the scene even bigger.

This clearly shows that they are trying to join forces to bring down his Cuiqinglou.

Cai Linglong gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and at Wei Wu's suggestion, she came up with the idea: Phoenix Dancing in the Sky - The Oiran Parades Through the Streets!

The courtesans of Cui Qinglou boarded floats and paraded around the city.

My goodness, that caused a sensation in the whole city.

Normally, the top-ranking courtesan in the capital, let alone seeing her, would cost a fortune to even buy a portrait of her for private collection.

The parade of the courtesans is just around the corner.

Just take a look and smell it, you are saving money.

In order to prevent herself from being imitated and surpassed, Cai Linglong even used her hidden trump card.

At the front of the float, the newlyweds lead the way.

Huan Qingwu was dressed in a thin gauze, appearing and disappearing, with her face covered. Even if she was just standing there, she was still charming and became the focus of the entire float team.

Wei Wu was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, standing on the side, his androgynous appearance difficult to tell, and his smile was a little stiff.

He had come up with the idea in order to find an opportunity to go out, or at least transfer Cui Linglong and the guards away. He never expected that Cai Linglong would let him go up as well.

After putting on all the makeup, he completely ruined his old face.

He dared not help but laugh, because Cai Linglong was also on the float, and next to the float, almost all the security guards and thugs of Cuiqinglou were out.

In the slightly chilly wind, Wei Wuxin had thousands of messages of "I wish you and your family good health" flashing across the screen.

……

"Huh~"

"Hah!"

On the other side of Lincheng City, Qin He, who was walking on the street bored, sneezed twice and sniffed his nose.

For him, without firecrackers and fireworks, and with no activities or singing in major institutions, the New Year atmosphere is somewhat diluted, and he has nowhere to go.

"Master, why don't we go to the Lantern Festival? It must be lively there." Ma Feimo suggested with hope on his face.

Qin He glanced at it and said nothing.

This unreliable guy almost burned the house down last night.

When Wang Tiezhu was around, there was no such thing.

Shop around and compare.

Seeing that Qin He didn't say anything, Ma Fei shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Six bodies, the beams of the house were burned, one body exploded, and a crematorium collapsed due to overheating.

Now it feels very insecure.

However, Qin He didn't say anything, but he still walked towards that direction.

Since you are here, just hang lanterns and follow local customs.

After a while, Qin He led Ma Fei to the bank of Qushui River.

The canal water is drawn from the Wanshui River and passes through the city. It is the main canal of the moat between the inner and outer cities of Lin'an.

Although it is necessary for protecting the city, its water surface is extremely wide, no less than that of large rivers.

Countless pleasure boats with hanging lights float on the water, shining like stars with the lights on both sides of the river.

However, at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in from the river, stirring up a cloud of dust and causing many nearby lights to sway.

Many vendors displaying lanterns hurriedly protected the lanterns for fear that they would catch fire.

Fortunately, this cold wind came and went quickly, and everything soon calmed down.

But... Qin He not only didn't feel the cold, but the hair on his body stood up and his goosebumps rose and fell.

A glimmer flashed in his eyes and he looked into the distance.

Above the sea of ​​stars, countless blood-red lanterns were rising slowly. The originally brilliant "sea of ​​stars" suddenly became weird.

"Master, what's wrong?" Ma Fei asked in confusion when he saw Qin He suddenly stand still.

Qin He glanced at him and slowly uttered two words: "Tonight, it's haunted."
