Unknowingly, before walking to a certain building, there was a small square in front of the door. At this moment, a large number of monks gathered here, arguing about something in front of the rows of lanterns suspended above their heads.
Mo Juren stared and saw that it was a place for guessing lantern riddles. No wonder it attracted so many people to watch.
Guessing lantern riddles is originally an entertainment item originated from the secular world, but because of its fun, it is also very popular among immortal cultivators. Especially in the special environment of Chaos Xinghai, where immortals and mortals live together, similar situations are not uncommon.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Because we are dealing with immortal cultivators, this activity has also been upgraded to a certain extent and can be called an advanced version.
All the lanterns were suspended in the sky, almost covering the entire small square. Moreover, every lantern is made with great care and has different styles, making people fall in love with it at first sight. The surface of the lanterns was even engraved with strange runes. Hundreds of thousands of lanterns were combined together to form some kind of special formation that was designed to conceal the detection of spiritual consciousness. Even he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the lanterns.
Mo Juren was a little surprised. Isn't it just guessing lantern riddles? Why is it so mysterious? It wasn't until I saw a certain guesser take out a low-level magic weapon from the lantern that I suddenly realized that it could actually open a treasure chest!
What's even more special is that even if the individual lanterns are removed, the effect of the combined array will not be affected at all.
His eyes suddenly noticed a small flag hanging somewhere in the square, with a series of rules clearly listed on it. Sure enough, there is a sign that there is a treasure in the lamp, and it also mentions that each person is limited to one, and you cannot take more than one.
The two girls, Wang Ying and Wang Ying, were also standing together in the crowd, pointing at the lanterns from time to time, with unconcealable excitement on their faces.
Seeing him approaching, the former suddenly looked happy, waved his jade arms and said, "Brother Mo, come here, help me guess this one."
Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but be speechless. If he wanted to go crazy, why should he call him?
As a person in two lifetimes, what kind of entertainment programs have you not seen? How could he be as interested in lantern riddles as these 'ancient people'?
Wang Ying didn't care about this. Seeing that he was unmoved, she thought she couldn't let go of her face, so she ran over directly, then grabbed his arm and forced her way into the crowd.
"Three autumn leaves have fallen, and February flowers can bloom. Thousands of feet of waves across the river, and thousands of bamboo poles slanting (quote)" Looking at the poem with one of the lanterns hanging down, Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his head with a half-smile. asked,
"You really can't guess this lantern riddle?"
"Yes...yeah...what's wrong?" Wang Ying's face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little evasive when she looked at the other party.
"Where's Miss Zhuo? You can't guess it, right?" Mo Juren did not continue to point out the other person, but turned to the side and asked again.
"Me?" When asked about herself, Zhuo Ruting was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said,
"Senior Mo, please forgive me. I am not interested in this, so I will not participate."
"..."
Mo Juren was speechless, as long as we get along as equals, there is no need to be so forceful.
The fingertips shimmered, a burst of mana shot out, and the word "wind" was written directly on a blank space above the lantern. In an instant, a faint light flashed on the surface of the lantern, and then flew down.
Seeing this, he fired another mana in his hand and slowly floated the lantern in front of the opponent.
"Brother Mo is really quick in thinking. Otherwise, my little sister would just be helpless looking at this glazed lamp and unable to do anything." Wang Ying took it with a face of joy and praised it without hesitation.
"As long as you like it." The corners of Mo Juren's mouth twitched slightly, not bothering to argue.
Wang Ying seemed not to notice the strange look on the other party's face, but slowly opened the top of the lantern with Zhuo Ruting. In a flash of blue light, a pair of exquisite blue ice jade bracelets appeared in sight. The style was simple yet elegant, exuding a chilly air.
"So beautiful!" The moment they saw the blue ice bracelet, both women's eyes lit up.
Mo Juren was also a little surprised. This bracelet was not of low quality, but actually reached the top level. This is not easy. Although treasures can be found in the lanterns, they are obviously just lucky ones and there won't be many good things.
Being able to open a top-level magic weapon is definitely a matter of luck. However, the two people's attention was obviously not on this, but more on the appearance of the bracelet.
Wang Ying took out one of them and put it directly on her snow-white jade wrist. She was already very beautiful, and she looked even more delicate and charming against the backdrop of the bracelet.
"Brother Mo, does it look good?"
"Yes, it matches you very well." Mo Juren did not hesitate this time. At this time, the other party did not change back to his usual ordinary appearance. He was indeed very beautiful.
But according to his guess, this appearance is very likely not the real one, which is a pity.
Hearing his praise, Wang Ying was obviously very happy. She even discussed it in a low voice with Zhuo Ruting next to her, and then took out the other one and stuffed it into his hand.
Zhuo Ruting quickly refused. This was a top-level magic weapon, and it was definitely valuable to her as a foundation-building monk. Moreover, the two jade bracelets are obviously a set. Only when used together can they be considered to be at the top level. If they are separated, their power will be greatly weakened.
"You and I have been sisters for many years. If you say such disrespectful words again, I will be angry." Wang Yingyang glared at the other party angrily, and then put the ice bracelet on the other party directly.
"That's right. With this bracelet, I can't compare to my sister."
"No way, sister is just because..."
"Ahem..."
Zhuo Ruting was talking normally, but was suddenly interrupted by Wang Ying coughing several times. She turned to Mo Juren and asked, "Brother Mo, why don't you tell me, is Sister Zhuo more suitable for this ice bracelet?"
This is true. Zhuo Ruting has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk. She gives people a feeling that it is difficult to get close to and get along with her. It does complement each other well with this ice jade bracelet.
Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, not say it out loud. When it comes to beauty, any woman is stingy and the last thing she wants to hear is that she is not as good as others.
Mo Juren knew this very well, so he smiled and said: "They are all pretty good, as long as you two like them. How about it, do you want to guess another one? Maybe there will be greater gains?"
Wang Ying naturally heard that the other party deliberately avoided answering, and she felt cunning in her heart. But he did not continue to ask, and instead started searching again with Zhuo Ruting.
The latter is also very excited. If he can develop a top-level weapon again, even a high-level magic weapon will be fine. For a foundation-building monk like her, this is definitely a big gain.
It's a pity that good luck can't always be around. The lantern that was guessed the second time only got a silver hairband. It was very delicate but had no mana fluctuations. It was obviously just an ordinary accessory.
The two women couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then looked at Mo Juren, who was the only one left. Among the three, he was the only one who had another chance.
"I'll forget it. After staying here for so long, let's go somewhere else?" Mo Juren shook his head and chose to refuse.
"Okay." Seeing that he was unwilling, the two women couldn't force it, so they nodded in agreement.
Time passed slowly, and the three of them strolled on Main Street C-1 for several hours, and did not return until late at night.
The two women obviously had some unfinished thoughts. When they arrived at the 'Chen Yuan Residence', they were still communicating in low voices with great interest. Each of them held a lantern in their hands, which was quite interesting.
There are not just two women either. There are quite a few monks walking on the street carrying lanterns, mostly women. It is a unique scene in the lantern festival.
Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, Fengle City did a good job in entertainment, and many details were considered very thoughtfully. No wonder it attracted so many monks.
The shops on the main streets are open all day, and they don't close at night. But compared to the bustling Guangtong Building opposite, Chenyuanju is a little quieter.
The three of them didn't waste any time and immediately headed towards the first floor. But at this moment, a sound of surprise suddenly sounded in their ears, causing the three of them to stop instantly.
"Ying'er, you're finally back!" A figure hurriedly walked out of the darkness. Seeing its appearance, Mo Juren couldn't help but be startled. It turned out to be the former young master of Kamikaze Island, Cheng Yang.
He had thought of this person when he was visiting the lantern festival just now, but he didn't expect that he could not help but think about it, and he appeared after a while.
Speaking of which, except for the original transaction, the two parties basically had no contact with each other, so naturally they were not familiar with each other. So after seeing the other party, he didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched quietly.
He thought so, but the other party obviously didn't. The moment she saw Wang Ying, she was smiling. But when her eyes shifted to him, the smile disappeared instantly, and a flash of coldness flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting.
Mo Juren couldn't help but feel speechless. This guy was really stubborn. A foundation-building monk dared to look at him with such ill intentions. Was he looking for death?
"Why are you here? How did you find out where I live?" Wang Ying frowned and asked with some confusion. It was no secret that she and Zhuo Ruting came to Fengle City, but it was a temporary decision to live in the 'Chenyuan Residence'. According to common sense, even if the other party comes to look for it, it is impossible to find it so quickly?
"A good friend of mine lives in Guangtong Building. He happened to meet you and Miss Zhuo during the day, and then gave me the news..." Cheng Yang did not hide anything and immediately explained the reason.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Wang Ying asked again. If it was a coincidence, it would be fine. But if it was not, but for other reasons such as stalking, that would be another story.
"I swear to God, if I had said anything false just now, I would be punished by thunder and crackles from the sky!" Sensing his sweetheart's doubts, Cheng Yang quickly raised his hands and swore an oath, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand.
"As long as you didn't lie to me, there's no need to swear so seriously." Wang Ying looked slightly relaxed and continued,
"I'm a little tired after walking around for so long, so I won't waste Daoist Fellow Cheng's time. I'll say goodbye for now."
After taking Zhuo Ruting for a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and said,
"One more thing, I hope fellow Taoist Cheng will stop calling me Ying'er, so as not to cause other people to misunderstand."
"Ying'er, don't be angry, I..." Cheng Yang suddenly became anxious, and quickly took a step forward to tell the difference, but suddenly saw the other party's cold eyes, and his aura suddenly weakened and said,
"Okay, Ying...Master Wang, please don't leave in a hurry. I came here to tell you something important. It concerns the future of the Miaoyin Sect, and you must listen to it no matter what."
"What's going on?" Wang Ying stopped immediately when she heard that it was about a sect.
"It's not convenient here. Let's find a safe place to talk." Cheng Yang paused and then said,
"I have booked a nice private room in Guangtong Building. How about somewhere?"
"If you really have something to do, just say it here. As for going to Guangtong Building, forget it." Wang Ying glanced at the other party, with a trace of distrust in her bright eyes.
"No, this matter is very important. We must find a safe place." Cheng Yang did not compromise this time and insisted.
"Then go to my residence. It's allowed to stay in Chenyuan Pavilion for a while." Wang Ying suggested again. After hearing this, Cheng Yang couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable loss in his heart. After so many years, the other party still doesn't trust him.
However, when I thought about what was going to be discussed next, my loss was fleeting and I regained my spirit again.
"Okay, just go to Ying...your place."
After the discussion was settled, the four of them headed towards their mortal home together. Cheng Yang said nothing during the journey, but glanced somewhere from time to time. Although the disgust and vigilance were well concealed, Mo Juren still captured it.
When several people went up to the top floor, they found that the two parties were living next to each other. The jealousy in Cheng Yang's heart became more and more intense, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.
Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly. He asked himself that he had never offended the other party, but he was always being stared at like this. Did he really think he was a good gentleman?
A cold snort sounded out, and it sounded like an explosion in Cheng Yang's ears. It instantly gave him a splitting headache and stars in his eyes.
Mo Juren only punished them with a small punishment but stopped pursuing them any further. He greeted the two women and went directly into his room.
Cheng Yang let go of his hands holding his head, feeling shocked in his heart. At this time, he finally realized that he was a little bored, only focusing on jealousy, but ignoring the reality. The other party is a genuine monk in the pill formation stage, who can he provoke?
Even if you want to provoke him, you shouldn't do it now. At least you have to have your own monks in the alchemy stage present. As the young master of Kamikaze Island, he is not afraid of a casual cultivator on the other side.
"Master Wang, why did you come to live with this person and live in Chenyuan Residence together?" Cheng Yang also entered the elegant room and couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart.
"I came to attend the Wanfu Meeting, and I happened to meet Brother Mo, so we got together. What, is there any problem?" Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"Then why did you go to the lantern festival together again, and even showed this appearance? Shouldn't you avoid..." Cheng Yang was about to ask, but was directly interrupted by the other party coldly,
"Master Cheng, what do you mean by this? Who are you to me? Do I need your permission to make friends with anyone or go shopping?"
"No...no." Cheng Yang's expression suddenly changed, knowing that he shouldn't doubt the other party. After all, after so many years of knowing each other, the man named Mo has never appeared before, and there is obviously nothing like that between the two parties. The reason why he asked anxiously was just because he was jealous, so he quickly explained,
"Ying...Master Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just asking casually and don't mean anything else."
"It's okay if you don't." Wang Ying's indifferent expression softened slightly. After all, they have known each other for so many years and they are considered friends. It is not easy to continue to scold the other party. However, when I think of all the actions of the person in front of me over the years, I can't help but have a headache.
She knew very well what the other party was thinking, but she had never had such thoughts.
Over the years, she has avoided the other party's entanglement not once or twice, but unfortunately, it doesn't work at all. The other party stalked her like a weight and never backed down.
Because of this matter, the other party even delayed his own cultivation, and is still wandering in the late stage of foundation building. Even the owner of Kamikaze Island came to visit her personally and asked her not to confuse her only son again.
Cheng Songting, the leader of Kamikaze Island, has an old-fashioned character and has a big prejudice against the Miaoyin Sect. He thinks it is a low-grade sect that entertains people with sex. Even Wang Ying, the sect leader, is not worthy of his son.
In short, stay away from Cheng Yang from now on. If you get entangled again, don't blame him for being rude.
That time Wang Ying was furious to death. What does she mean by confusing the other party? It's obvious that your son insists on getting involved because he doesn't live up to his expectations. What does it have to do with you?
Unfortunately, Miaoyin Sect has a bad reputation, and it is impossible to explain this kind of thing.
What's more, as the leader of the sect, she also needs to worry about the safety of the sect and is not willing to fall out with Kamikaze Island easily. In the end, she can only compromise and swallow her anger.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yang never gave up. Whenever he got a chance, he would come up with all kinds of excuses to get involved, which was really annoying.
