"Brother, it looks like it's your first time coming to Guangmeng City."
The young master watched Balian light the short candle, his smile unchanged.
Balian nodded: "Yes, this is my first time."
The young master glanced at the Suzaku Qiankun bag on Bailian's waist calmly, and said with a chuckle: "Seeing that the master is carrying a space treasure, it seems that he is from the world of cultivating immortals?"
Bailian glanced at the man in surprise, and his eyes turned around on him.
It was confirmed that his breath was the same as that of ordinary people, and there was no sign of spiritual power flowing. He was obviously an ordinary person.
Can you actually see through his identity at a glance?
The man understood Bai Lian's doubtful eyes, and immediately smiled handsomely and said:
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. My name is Meng Zifei. I come from the Meng family in Guangmeng City. There is a brother in my family who is also a practitioner. He often tells me some interesting things about practice.
I also yearn to seek immortality, but it is a pity that I don’t have my spiritual roots.
Just now I noticed that Xiongtai hid something in his bag, which was a trick of the Immortal family, so I saw the hunting spirit and wanted to have a good relationship with Xiongtai. "
Although this young man named Meng Zifei was born romantic and arrogant, his temperament was rare and straightforward, without too many twists and turns.
Bailian smiled and said, "My name is Bailian, and my courtesy name is Hidden Sword."
Seeing that Bailian didn't have much objection, Meng Zifei smiled even deeper:
"The Green Lantern Festival will be held in the city for three whole nights. Brother Baili must stay in Guangmeng City for a longer time."
Three days?
Bailian lowered his head and glanced at Su Jing. Su Jing nodded, saying that he didn't have much opinion.
He smiled and said: "That's fine."
Meng Zifei looked back and forth between the two of them, then smiled and said: "Then I won't disturb your enjoyment. See you again when we are destined."
Although this person is still in the immortal way, he is also a person who understands interests, but it is just a one-sided relationship.
Although he looked at Bailian and Su Jing with great respect, he did not entangle them too much, showing that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.
After passing by Meng Zifei, Bailian glanced at Su Jing and asked, "Do you also want to play with the lantern?"
Su Jing looked at the lantern in his hand with a somewhat disgusted expression, and said gloomily: "No one gave me a lantern."
Along the way, Balian had already picked up the lanterns from three girls. He could hardly hold them with both hands and had to put them away as soon as possible.
But Su Jing didn't receive a lantern. He smiled, gave her a lantern, and said, "Then I'll give you one."
Su Jing said unhappily: "That was given to you by someone else."
Balian glanced at the vendors selling lanterns on the street, and then said, "Then let me buy you a new one?"
Su Jing's eyebrows relaxed: "Okay."
Bailian thought to himself that since he and Su Jing were both men, there was no need to be taboo about this.
He generously bought a lantern. The pattern of the lantern was a fat rabbit holding a carrot and chewing it. It was cute and cute, with a three-petal mouth and red eyes. The painting was vivid with a silly and cute look. .
Su Jing took the lantern and looked at it carefully with her eyes. Balian looked at her and held her breath, then suddenly said: "This rabbit looks very much like you."
Balian couldn't laugh or cry immediately: "Where is the resemblance?"
"It's just very similar."
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic anymore. Let's go and set off the lanterns. The night market is very lively at night. It is said that there will be fireworks. I have never seen fireworks in my whole life."
The river has a very nice name, Qingyang River. It is said that this river is extremely long and connects to the West Sea. If any kind of lantern is not intercepted and floats down the river, it will merge into the sea.
If Poseidon sees a lantern, he will instruct the two people who give the lantern and light the lantern to grow old together and remain in love.
When Bai Lian heard this allusion, he felt very regretful. After the regret, he felt hopeful.
If Miss Baozi succeeds in coming down the mountain in Kaiyuan next year, he will definitely bring her to put out lanterns and write their names on the lanterns to seek blessings from the God of the Sea.
Three lamps were lit and floated into the river.
As soon as Balian turned around, he saw Su Jing blowing the fire stick with a clumsy and careful look, lighting the long red candle with concentration, and then dragging the green lantern tremblingly and floating it on the river.
Finally, it seemed that it was not floating fast enough, so two little black hands were scratching and pushing on the water surface.
After a while, the green lantern of the rabbit eating carrots floated far away.
Bailian didn't pay much attention to Su Jing's move. He smiled slightly and turned his eyes to the brightly lit scene of the river.
He didn't notice that dozens of meters behind him, there was a young man in black staring at Bai Lian's profile with dark eyes.
The young man held a portrait in his hand, and in the portrait was a young man smiling.
And that young man's facial features were exactly the same as Balian's!
He sneered and took a step forward, leaving several afterimages of his body in the crowd.
As if the crowd of tourists couldn't feel his presence, they were behind Bai Lian in just a few breaths.
With an indifferent look on his face, he raised his foot and aimed to kick Bailian in the back.
All this happened very quickly, and Bailian only heard a strong gust of wind behind him. The speed was extremely fast and the force was extremely cruel. If an ordinary person was kicked by this kick, his bones would be broken and he would die.
Even though Bai Lian had the cultivation level of Seeking Dao, this kick was so fast that he had no way to avoid it.
But just because he can't avoid it doesn't mean someone can't stop him.
Su Jing's little face, which was rarely calm and peaceful as she watched the green lantern go away, was instantly filled with a sinister air.
Her small hands turned into palms, and she raised her head and struck down without even glancing at it.
The thin palm struck like a knife and ax, and hit the young man's calf with a click.
The bones were slightly broken, and the young man felt a sharp pain in his calf, and the bones were slightly cracked. A strong force forced him to stop his movements, and the sole of his foot fell hard to the ground, causing the bluestone ground to fall into pieces.
Balian frowned and turned around, watching Su Jing indifferently take back his palms and rub them, then looked flatly at the young man in black: "Who are you?"
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the young man in black stopped continuing. He smiled coldly at Bailian, raised his head slightly, and said proudly: "The young master of the Ghost Sect of Jiuyuan Mountain, Zheng Siyan."
Upon hearing this name, Bailian's eyebrows twitched.
Ghost Sect Zheng Siyan is extremely famous among the younger generation of practitioners.
He is only twenty-five years old, but he is already in the ninth level of seeking Taoism.
Facing the realm of Kaiyuan, it was just one step away, and he could be said to be the leader of the younger generation.
Even though the Ghost Sect is not as powerful as the three major immortal cultivating sects, Tianxi Sword Sect, Taixuan Sect, and Cangwu Palace, it is still the most prosperous sect among thousands of cultivating forces.
It had only been a year since Bailian left White Camel Mountain, and he thought that he had never had any grudges with the Gui Sect, let alone the young master of the Gui Sect. Why did he provoke the other party to come to seek trouble?
Balian didn't use his reputation as the young master of White Camel Mountain to overpower others. He felt it was embarrassing: "So, what do you want to see me for?"
Zheng Siyan threw the portrait in his hand to the ground, and the smiling portrait of the young man was displayed in front of Bai Lian and Su Jing.
He looked at people with his chin and said arrogantly: "I know who you are, the useless young master of Baituo Mountain of Tianxi Sword Sect, Bai Lian."
Balian's eyes moved slightly, but there was no anger on his face, and he said calmly: "Whether I am a waste or not is not determined by you, nor is it an excuse for you to trouble me."
Zheng Siyan sneered and said: "Excuse? Whether you are a waste of course has nothing to do with me, but you shouldn't get things you don't deserve."
Bailian didn't want to talk nonsense to this person anymore. He didn't want Su Jing's rare birthday to be ruined by such a guy in his good mood recently.
"Su Jing, let's go."
Su Jing shook her head. Although the words of trash were not directed at her, her anger still surged.
She stared at Zheng Siyan's face with sharp eyes and said seriously: "Beat him!"
Bailian shook his head. Although Su Jing didn't know how to practice, she was born with divine power, and the power of the black flames she was born with was extraordinary.
Even though Zheng Siyan has the strength to seek the ninth level of Taoism, if there is a life and death fight, it is still unknown who will lose and who will win.
But Zheng Siyan was obviously here for him, so there was no need to involve Su Jing.
"Beat me? Where did this arrogant black boy come from? I advise you not to meddle in the ghost family's business." Zheng Siyan's eyes were fierce and threatening.
Balian took Su Jing's hand and stopped looking at the noisy Zheng Siyan. He hated arguing fearlessly with others.
Watching the two people leaving, Zheng Siyan's eyes became increasingly gloomy, and he suddenly said:
"You just asked me why I am causing trouble for you, so let me tell you now, Yin Baishuang from Cangwu Palace is my fiancée Zheng Siyan. If you dare to have any ideas about her, I will kill you first!"
Bai Lian's footsteps paused. He let go of Su Jing's wrist, but did not turn around. He said in a calm and unshakable voice: "No, I don't dare!"
"No? Don't you dare?" Zheng Siyan narrowed his cold eyes and sneered: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that she will not be your fiancée. If you want to snatch her away, I will snatch her back." Balian's choice of words was unavoidable.
Take it back, because it belongs to him, so you will take it back.
"What I don't dare to mean is..." Balian slightly turned half of his young and delicate cheeks, and his clean eyes showed no trace of coldness, as calm as a pond that had been silent for thousands of years.
He said word by word: "Don't you dare kill me, the Jiuyuan Mountain Ghost Sect cannot afford such consequences."
Balian didn't like to use his background to pressure people, and his words didn't mean to pressure people in the slightest. He just stated the reality calmly.
When these words fell into Zheng Siyan's ears, they were undoubtedly extremely humiliating words, like a slap on his face.
There were bulging veins on the back of his hands, and his fists clenched in his sleeves. He gritted his teeth and watched the two figures disappearing into the crowd with a gloomy face, and his pupils were brewing with a terrifying light like magic flames.
He gritted his teeth and said ferociously: "I don't dare... I don't dare! Is there anything in this world that I, Zheng Siyan, dare not do!"
In fact, what Balian said is right.
In fact, he came here today just to give him a blow, and never wanted to take his life.
Because he didn't dare.
But when he found out that this kid was out of luck and looked like he was eating Yin Baishuang to death, the fire in his heart burned his body crazily.
…
…
"By the way, it's almost midnight tonight, and I haven't chosen a birthday gift for you yet?" Balian said, walking side by side with Su Jing on the edge of the river.
Su Jing looked up and looked at the fireworks all over the city, which were so beautiful.
The bright brilliance of fireworks reflected in her dark eyes, which was very beautiful.
She shook her head, showed a very quiet smile, and said: "I have already received a gift, the rabbit lantern, and this firework is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
Balian stared blankly at the dark profile of her little face and said nothing.
Even though it was late at night, the streets were still crowded with people, and folk programs were put on one after another.
The fireworks in the bustling city seemed to have never stopped, and most of the dark night was illuminated.
at this time……
A scream that pierced the sky broke the beautiful harmony of this city and this scene.
"Dead people!!!!!!"
In the busiest downtown area ahead, the crowds of people who were originally walking in an orderly manner suddenly exploded and fled in all directions.
Balian turned around and saw that among the scattered crowd, a dark, fog-like gas invisible to mortals surged out and rushed out of the crowd at a very fast speed.
When the thick black mist touched others, the group of people remained silent, rolled their eyes, and fell straight down, lifeless, as if the vitality in their bodies had been taken away.
When the black mist and Balian passed by quickly...
Bailian's eyes suddenly shrank!
He saw another pair of sinister eyes as scarlet as blood flash past in the thick black fog, and the sinister eyes met Balian's.
At that moment, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly burst out in his mind.
The laughter is in my ears and I have a splitting headache!
Balian held his head tightly and groaned in pain.
Su Jing's face changed drastically when he saw the black mist: "What's wrong with you?"
Bright red nosebleeds trickled down from his nostrils, and Balian felt that his body had been as cold as soaking in ice water for three whole days.
He shook his head vigorously and tried his best to use the Taishang Daoqing Sword Technique.
The cyan magic light came from the cold air of the spiritual platform, dispelling the cold Yin Qi, and his complexion barely looked good.
"It's okay. There's a life in front of us. Let's go take a look."
Although Su Jing was not spiritually savvy, he also knew that the dark thing was not a good thing, and nodded solemnly.
Along the corpses along the way, Balian saw the blackened halls of the dead mortals, which was obviously caused by the entry of Yin Qi into their bodies, and there were intermittent sounds of sorrow and pain coming from the front.
The voice felt strangely familiar.
Looking around, I saw in the middle of the empty street, countless lanterns and snacks had been trampled to pieces in the panic just now.
The young master of the Meng family, who met Balian by chance, cried bitterly while holding the body of his female companion who had gone shopping with him not long ago.
The woman died in a very tragic manner, her eyes wide open, with no pupils visible, only pale pupils, and her facial features were so distorted that her original appearance could not be seen clearly.
If it weren't for the familiar clothes, Balian wouldn't have recognized him.
"Mr. Meng?"
