Threading needles and praying for a good night, weaving silk and making golden shuttles.
The clouds and water waves are shallow, and the Silk Road has many blessings and longevity.
——Qiqiao Festival
"Speaking of which, they came relatively late among the teams that came to Hanxia this time. I just heard from the people next to me that people from the Baixiang Kingdom, the Icefield Ancient Kingdom and the Liuqiu Island Kingdom had entered Jinhong City seven days ago. , people from the Neon Island Kingdom arrived a month ago, and it is said that they have already started looking for a place to worship the emperor."
At this point, Mo Yangsheng's expression was a little strange, and Milo's expression was not normal either. He whispered: "Sacrifice to the emperor? That's not what I understand."
The reason why Milo has this expression is because the composition of the Neon Island Country is a bit complicated, and some people in it have really unique ideas.
Some people are hostile to Han Xia, but more people admire Han Xia. There are also some people from the Neon Island Country who believe that Neon is what the emperor is most concerned about.
Mo Yangsheng nodded, which made Milo not sure how to respond, so the two chose to skip the topic.
At this time, the registration work had been completed, and Milo and others entered Jinhong City along the cloud road.
The so-called Cloud Road refers to the celestial road provided for immortals and gods to walk. There are many legal restrictions in Jinhong City, superimposed formations, and countless magical treasures and treasures to guard it. After taking off, you must take the Cloud Road to pass freely.
These cloud roads themselves are also one of the forbidden laws in Jinhong City. From a distance, they look like roads made of green smoke, spreading directly above the streets and alleys of Jinhong City, so they are called cloud roads.
The feeling of actually walking on the cloud path is closer to walking on the water, and the clouds themselves will not obscure the line of sight. Instead, according to the needs of the people walking on it, they can either cover their bodies, speed up, or even Let yourself follow the flow of green smoke and wander around the cloud road at will.
On the contrary, just like ordinary cities, the entrances and exits of the Four Directions Cloud Road to the outside world also have portals, as well as the protection of many gods that ordinary people cannot see.
Milo, who was passing by the Yundao Portal, looked at the illusory portal that was made up of various runes and divine symbols and exuded a rich aura.
He secretly calculated in his mind that if he could analyze more than half of the concepts revealed on this portal, the name of the [Door God] on his treasure scroll could be promoted to the seventh rank, and even to the sixth rank.
But soon, Milo had no intention of paying attention to these things. As soon as he entered the cloud path, Milo was dazzled by the densely packed colorful threads that covered the cloud path like a spider web.
He was stunned for a moment, then counted with his fingers for a moment, and then realized that today was actually the Tangram Festival.
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month in Hanxia, originally called the Qiyao Festival, is a day for worshiping the seven stars of the sun, lunar calendar, Chonghua, Taibai, Serchen, Yinghuo and Dihou.
However, Qiyao is so tall that it rarely performs miracles, and was eventually replaced by Qixi, which originated from the illusion of Taixu.
It is also because of this that the former Goddess Zhiyun of Hanxia was promoted from the original fifth rank to the fourth rank Great God. In terms of authority, in addition to the original authority of Yunxia, she had two additional powers of weaving and protection, and was regarded by the people of Hanxia. Zuo is the protector of lovers, women, and children, and is also called Qiao Niang, Qi Niang, Qi Sister, etc.
After attaining enlightenment, the Qiao Empress made a special wish. Every year on the Qiao Qiao Festival, she would travel for nine days to collect the seven rays of light and scatter them into the world for people to pray for Qiao Qiao.
Therefore, every time on the Qiqiao Festival, people from all over Hanxia will pray for skill in various ways. Today, there are methods such as threading a needle to beg for skill, a happy spider responding to a skill, throwing a needle to test a skill, orchid night fighting for skill, etc.
And people's wishes will also be turned into threads scattered in the sky on this day.
If there are immortals passing by at this time, you can take away the colored threads according to your own needs and give them auspicious aura.
At this point, the original simple ceremony of praying to Qiao Niang for luck has become more grand, and the names of Qixi and Qiqiao have completely surpassed the original Qiyao, becoming one of the more solemn festivals for the people of Hanxia.
As Jinhong City is the place where Han Xia immortals and gods come most frequently, the Qiqiao Festival will naturally be even more lively.
Looking at the colorful threads all over Yun Dao, Lu Changchun smiled and said: "If you are willing and have the ability, you can also collect some colorful threads. This thing contains the power of people's wishes and the light of the seven stars, which can be used to refine the robes." It’s a good choice. Of course, it can also be used to refine some bondage or marriage-related magic weapons.”
Yangyuan heard the words and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, don't joke with us. Although these colored threads are quite mysterious, if you want to sacrifice a complete magic weapon, you will need more than tens of millions of colored threads? And one A colorful thread represents a wish. If we have the skills, we might as well collect some materials and make the sacrifice ourselves."
"Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't do it. Boy Milo, are you interested?"
Lu Changchun said, turning to look at Milo.
Milo was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Uncle Master, Jinhong City shouldn't allow you to cast spells at will."
"Of course you are not allowed to cast spells at will on weekdays, but today is special. During the Qiqiao Festival, as long as you can be busy, you can bless the people and collect colored threads. These colored threads contain one of the blessings of the harmony between heaven and man. , although the mystery contained in a single rope is a little shallow, but the number increases, it is still quite mysterious, enough for you to use as a back-up. Moreover, if I remember correctly, Qian Wan used a small amount of red rope to make the money sword in the past. If you collect some colored threads, upgrading the red ropes is also a good choice.”
Hearing Lu Changchun's words, Milo hadn't answered yet. Mo Yangsheng beside him couldn't help but said: "Uncle Lu, you know clearly that Milo is related to Shinto, but you still encourage him to handle these things. If he really What should I do if I am attracted by a great Shinto god?"
"So what does it look like? Milo is the true successor of my Miaoyou Sect. Unless he is willing, can Shinto force my disciples of Miaoyou Sect to transfer to Shinto?"
Taoist Demiao spoke quietly. He looked at Milo and explained: "Changchun actually wants you to feel the hard work of Shinto. Speaking of which, with the help of the companion treasure over the years, you have obtained many conveniences of Shinto, but very few You are bound by Shinto's responsibilities. He is also worried that you will unconsciously move closer to Shinto because you are accustomed to the convenience brought by Shinto."
Having said this, Taoist Demiao paused, thought for a while and said, "Of course, although this is essentially for your own good, it's up to you whether you do it or not."
The words of Taoist Demiao made all the true disciples fall into silence, and Milo suddenly said: "Master, does the sect charge for this kind of colorful thread? What is the approximate price?"
Hearing this, Taoist Demiao couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and then smiled and said: "Do you want to sell it to the sect? That's okay. According to spiritual standards, the grade of these colored threads is not high, but the collection is cumbersome. , and the difficulty of gestation, we can give you a price that is 10% higher than ordinary materials. What, are you excited?"
