Before I know it, the New Year is coming again.
The streets are full of joy and laughter, the sticky bean bag business is booming, the children put on new clothes and run around holding colorful windmills. The sudden rain this year gave everyone food to live a good year, and the white snow also made New Year's Eve more enjoyable. There are many changes in the flavor of the New Year compared with previous years, and even the customs have also changed.
In the past, lion dances were common during the Chinese New Year, with loud gongs and drums and golden lions dancing wildly, but that changed this year.
In the lively streets, the long white dragon is either tumbling or scurrying. The lion dance is changed to a dragon dance, and it is also the white dragon that rains down that the people are most familiar with. The useless City God was moved out of the temple and thrown into the abandoned house and replaced with a statue of the White Dragon King, incense. At its peak, faithful men, women and squires came to pray for blessings and seek the protection of the white dragon.
No one knew that the person they were worshiping was right next to them, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with a red headband, drooling with joy as he stared at the rich tribute.
The annual meeting is still going on.
Suddenly there was some chaos, and all the tributes in the Dragon King Temple were gone...
"The tribute is gone!"
In the alley, a certain dragon licked its red lips and smiled with crooked eyes.
On New Year's Eve, the sun sets and night falls. The small town covered with snow in winter is full of red lights. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers is heard, and the air is filled with the smell of food.
Every house has a sticker with the words "Fu" on the door god, and the bright red couplets are eye-catching.
On the roof of the city gate building, Bai Yujun wore a thick winter coat and sat on the roof to watch how people celebrate the New Year. The city gate building is tall and can be seen far away. Facing the small town full of red lights, there is a dark wilderness behind it. The thick snow on the roof shines in the moonlight. The sky turned white, there was no wind at night, and it didn't feel very cold.
Rub your little hands together and take a breath, blowing out some hot air with sparks to warm your palms.
In the city gate tower, the city guards hung lanterns on poles and drank a few sips of wine to warm up during their work.
"Come closer to me~ ok~"
Lanterns are hung to embellish the New Year's Eve atmosphere.
"Let's go, let's go home quickly to celebrate the New Year. No one will come late at night."
A group of soldiers walked toward the city laughing and joking, and each figure separated and returned to his own courtyard. The paper windows reflected the shadow of a family and bursts of laughter. Every house's chimney smoked, and the flames dispelled the cold and brought warmth.
The small figure on the top of the city gate shrank, tightening his cotton clothes to keep as warm as possible.
The blue night sky is full of stars and candles, and the full moon is shining brightly.
"It's Chinese New Year again, alas..."
He sighed and said that he was endlessly confused. Time flew by and was worthless. After the New Year, he was one year older. Was he 501 years old or 502 years old? The road to spiritual practice is long and lonely, and I don’t know how the flowers have fallen. How do others get through it?
"I heard that Nian is a kind of monster. I have to use firecrackers to scare it away. I don't know if I can see the legendary Nian."
Take out the preserved fruit from your small pocket and stuff it into your mouth. The rich sugar content can keep your body temperature up. After all, it’s the New Year. You can’t hug salt cubes and lick them on New Year’s Eve. Eating sweets has the flavor of the New Year.
Continue to take out three or four small pockets.
Make your own sugar-fried chestnuts, sticky bean buns, and sugar cakes and bacon. Before eating, you should blow hot air to heat it up before eating. This will help you practice your fire-breathing skills and master the heat.
“Time flies so fast and it’s good to live a long life.”
The thick white snow on the roof looks dreamlike under the blue night sky, like a fairy tale world.
Firecrackers were set off in the alleys. You couldn't see the firecrackers, you could only see the bright walls flickering. The theater was still singing, and steam was rising in many places. The children who fell asleep after playing all day were enchanted by the sound of firecrackers and the smell of New Year's Eve dinner. Wake up and be alive again to eat and play.
There were no fireworks, and there wouldn’t be anything like that in this remote Northland town anyway.
He picked up a pottery pot and put it in some snow from the roof. He coughed twice and let out a flame to melt the snow and boil it. He poured in the white dumplings he bought during the day. The steam was bubbling and the dumplings were tumbling up and down in the water. He carefully controlled the flames to cook. dumpling.
"It's Chinese New Year..."
I picked up the dumplings with my chopsticks and ate them in my mouth. It was a bit hot. I kept inhaling and grinning. Strangely enough, my mouth could spit fire. Sometimes I still couldn't stand the hot food. Maybe it was a psychological effect.
He ate the dumplings one bite at a time and even ate a copper coin he had wrapped in it.
"Good luck in the New Year, you will make a fortune~"
The lively world illuminates the thin and small figure on the high roof, celebrating the New Year in its own little way...
…
First grade of junior high school.
Bai Yujun quickly flew to Shenhua Mountain. He just received a message from his master asking him to go back, saying that there was something important. He just wanted to go back to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. He didn't know what could happen to Shenhua Mountain. It didn't feel like a bad thing. .
Along the way, I met many fellow disciples who were flying back to Huashan with swords, and many disciples and elders who were traveling abroad received the news.
Working together, more than a dozen rays of light flew across the sky...
After questioning, it was revealed that apart from the elders and disciples who were besieged in the ancient battlefield, they all returned to the mountain. The specific situation was unclear. Some senior brothers and sisters contacted their fellow disciples on the mountain and asked no questions. Even the disciples on the mountain did not know what happened. Bai Yujun vaguely said Feeling it is a big deal is a good thing, and intuition is rarely wrong.
Streams of light flew towards Shenhua Mountain, fell on the mountainside and went straight to the mountain gate.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many fellow disciples returned to the mountain. Chunyang Palace was particularly lively. Familiar people said hello to each other and felt the New Year atmosphere together. Bai Yujun put on his Taoist robe and went up the mountain. Along the way, many young fellow disciples came up to say hello, and some even Ask about some spiritual practice.
Before returning to Qingxu Palace, Gu Cangyu, the acting head of Jinxu Peak, suddenly announced loudly that all the disciples who were guarding the mountain except those who were necessary should go to Lunjian Peak!
Immediately, those who could fly either wielded swords or walked in the air and headed straight for Lunjian Peak. During the Qi refining and foundation building stages, they used light skills to rush forward quickly. The silhouettes of people in the sky were extremely spectacular.
An older classmate looked happy, apparently guessing what was about to happen.
"Babai~here~!"
Xu Ling greeted from a distance. She, Yang Mu and Tie Qiu were together. Bai Yujun moved and leaned over. Tie Qiu quickly stepped forward and looked at the boss with a smile.
Wish each other a happy New Year.
"Happy New Year, senior brother and senior sister. What happened on the mountain? You summoned so many disciples from all the way to come back."
"I don't know~"
"..."
Bai Yujun really wanted to throw her back with a tail, and spent the whole day in a daze, half asleep and half awake asking questions. She didn't know as much as she did, and she really doubted whether she had sneaked down the mountain.
Among the three brothers and sisters standing together, Bai Yujun looks the youngest. Monsters are different from humans. A certain dragon is very proud of this aspect. He has a long life and will not die in a while.
Yang Mu was smiling, and now this boy looked like a master.
"I know."
"Tell me what's going on~"
"I won't say anything. How about it? Aren't you very depressed? Hahaha~"
"..."
What's wrong with this old boy today? Has anything good happened recently?
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Yang?"
"I don't know~"
"..."
Forget it, sometimes you can't count on Xu Ling, she's confused and unreliable, God knows how she has practiced to this point, thank the human race for not having the disaster of transformation. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The New White Snake Asks the Immortal", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
