Outside the city wall of Lanyin, in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, I looked at the city in the twilight and smiled: "It really looks like a tomb."
Behind him, a black stone slab suddenly appeared, floating vertically in the air. A cold male voice came from the stone slab: "It is not a tomb, but a hope for revival."
"It's your hope, not mine." Spring of the fourth year of Qingli said with a faint smile: "Is the information given confirmed to be true?"
"You have no right to question." Another stone slab floated up from the void, and a voice as dry as rotten wood sounded hoarse: "Prince, all you can do is obey."
"Absurd." In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he laughed and said, "I'm not that weapon. There's no point in telling me to obey. I just want to ask if the information is true."
The third black slate appeared, and behind it came a calm female voice: "If the information is even remotely untrue, the prince can abandon the mission, and the command of the weapons will still be left to you."
"But if the mission fails." The female voice suddenly turned cold: "Prince, you know the consequences."
"Understood." In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he nodded lightly and ignored the threat that followed: "At least so far, my mission has not failed, Third Elder."
…
…
As dusk fell, the number of pedestrians became sparse. Seeing people constantly hanging lanterns on the eaves, Ge Sheng suddenly remembered that today was the day of Lantern Festival lanterns.
This festival, which originally had a long history in the history of Lanye, only said that Ge Sheng had lived in Fengmian Villa since he was a child. An Ning seemed to have never thought about bringing him into the city. Therefore, Ge Sheng actually did not celebrate Lanyin City's lanterns. Not seen.
He thought for a moment, folded the blue cloth, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Are you okay tonight? There is a lantern festival tonight, do you want to watch it together?"
The ice sculpture-like girl stood up quietly, was silent for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "Yes."
Thanks to the mascot version of this girl, the remaining ice sculptures were sold extremely smoothly. In total, they earned eleven silver cents and one hundred and seventy coppers. Since the product was built on the premise of zero cost, such a high income was enough. Let the vast majority of people in this world envy you.
While setting up the stall, Ge Sheng also asked the girl some things. After all, in the eyes of ordinary Lanye citizens, Ye Ye students are extremely distant and unattainable existences. The highest institution of Lanye founded by the previous saints, at most tens of thousands of students every year. Four hundred students are selected from among the students, and there are even only a hundred or so people who enter the school one year. Correspondingly, 99% of the students who come out of this college can enter the realm and become real people. They are all unparalleled. Elites, the students who come out of this college every year are without exception wildly pursued by all the major forces.
Ge Sheng's question is as follows.
"How old are you?"
"..."
"May I have your name?"
"Feel sorry."
"what is your favourite food?"
"..."
"do you hate me?"
"..."
Ge Sheng asked these four questions one by one during the sale. As a result, the girl did not look away and remained expressionless, saying nothing. She only said sorry to the second question and shook her head to the fourth question.
Xiaojiu's indifference and quietness were nothing compared to her. Ge Sheng cursed.
Now that he had made up his mind that he wanted to stay in Lanyin and watch the lanterns all night, Ge Sheng begged the magician if he could find someone to accompany him. Although the young magician seemed cold and dull, her temperament seemed to be very easy-going, so she agreed with a yes, Then he followed Ge Sheng to find Xiao Jiu.
But when he arrived at the place where Xiaojiu set up his stall, Ge Sheng originally wanted to use today's results to compete with the little girl, but he saw only an empty stone ground.
Xiaojiu let him go, no matter what the reason was, but at this moment Xiaojiu was not where she should be.
Ge Sheng turned around and saw the magician in black standing quietly behind him. He felt a little unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "She's not here. Are you willing to come with me?"
…
…
Lanyin City is very beautiful at night. It is indeed a rich city, especially when today is the annual lantern festival. People come and go in the huge ancient city, and colorful lanterns are hung high, with many types.
Ge Sheng and the girl walked side by side in the crowd. It is said that this is Ge Sheng's first time to Lanyin City to see the lanterns. After all, he is a child at heart. After watching it for a while, he became very excited, and some shouted and screamed. The whole process was filled with brilliance. , the lanterns are brilliant, and there are street vendors and artists selling snacks and performing in public. It’s really dizzying and you can’t get enough of it.
After wandering around for a while, Ge Sheng suddenly saw a Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern in front of him that was more than ten feet tall. It was extremely exquisite and had flying birds, floating clouds, mountains and rivers painted on it. The Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern had nine layers up and down, and each layer rotated independently at different speeds. First, the end is extremely exquisite, which makes people admire the craftsmanship of the maker. From a distance, it looks magnificent and dazzling.
Ge Sheng cheered, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her forward and running forward.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then obediently let the boy hold her hand. Her hand was very cold, as soft as boneless, and her skin was as delicate as the warmest mutton-fat jade. It felt very comfortable to the touch. The front was getting more and more crowded, and Ge Sheng leaned on his body. The body is small and has a thousand calamities of cultivation. It darts left and right in the gap, while the girl's body floats. Except for the hand held by the boy, she shuttles through the crowd like smoke. No one can touch her. Her body, but no one noticed such a strange scene.
In the grand gathering of lanterns and the crowds of people, holding the hand of the person you like, even if you do nothing, is a kind of happiness that requires gratitude to the world.
In this way, Ge Sheng and the girl successfully squeezed to the front, where there was a red copper fence surrounding the huge Nine Treasures Lotus Lantern. It was not until he stood at his feet that Ge Sheng saw that the lotus lantern in front of him was like a tall tower. Standing in front of the lamp, you actually need to look up. The various exquisite objects in the lamp are all exquisite and breathtaking. Inside the red copper fence around the lamp, there was a circle of people chatting and laughing non-stop. The entrance to the fence was guarded by guards.
Ge Sheng came to the entrance and saw a sign next to the door. Ge Sheng looked at it.
I saw five big characters at the top
"Nine treasures will make friends from far away."
Ge Sheng looked at the words above carefully and saw that it read:
"The Lord of the City is having fun with the people. He specially ordered the craftsmen to make a Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern. The lantern is divided into nine floors, and there are lantern riddles on each floor. The winner is to guess the lantern riddles. The winner goes to the first floor and reaches the ninth floor first. The winner is considered to be the winner, and the city lord will personally give him an orchid-rhinoceros lantern and ten pieces of golden-leaf grass.
Attachment: The capacity of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp is limited. Those who wish to participate need to pay one silver corner to enter. Each floor is limited to one stick of incense. Once the time is up, you will be deemed as failed. "
Only then did Ge Sheng realize that such a big lantern was actually just a riddle tower. He couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart and looked at the girl in black: "Let's go in together."
Seeing the girl in black nodding, Ge Sheng took out two silver horns from his arms and pulled the girl in. The people around him were stunned, wondering where could such a noble young man be so wealthy.
Little did they know that Ge Sheng had grown up in Fengmian Villa since he was a child and had no idea about the importance of money. If it weren't for this, ordinary people would have encountered someone like the girl who had taken advantage of him before. If he didn't make a killing, it would be because he was kind-hearted. How could there be someone like him? Ghost gold coins are given away for free if you don’t want goods.
In fact, Ge Sheng was more afraid of the girl paying for it, otherwise another golden leaf clover would be thrown out. In addition, he said that there is no need to look for the tall ones, so he doubted that even if the girl was ten times more powerful, she would still be in this place in full view of everyone. Being surrounded.
After walking in, there were a lot fewer people inside. After all, not many people could spare a dime for extravagance.
Well, there was at least one. Ge Sheng looked at the opposite side indifferently, waved and called: "Xiaojiu, why did you come here without telling me?"
