In the center of this brightly lit city, the huge lotus lantern stands there like a lighthouse. For most Lanyin people, this lotus lantern itself is a miracle, and no one knows where it came from. , but everyone knew it would appear on this day.
Because this lotus lantern has a history of more than a hundred years, even the oldest old man will remember running around, jumping and cheering around this lantern when he was a child.
Under the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern, Ao Xuehua still hugged Xiaojiu, and outsiders could not see any clues.
Her shots were like lightning, and her speed was like a ghost. Even if Xiao Jiu had also practiced for thousands of eons, there was no way to make a judgment in advance.
The black-haired girl chuckled in her ear, and her laughter was indescribably cold: "If I want to kill you now, it will be easy, but tonight, I am afraid that even I will have to worry about my own safety."
"You won't kill me." Xiao Jiu felt that Ao Xuehua's hands were cold and slippery, like a snake that had shed its skin, coiled around her neck, and might spit out the letter at any time, but her hand was still in the palm of her hand. Write: "Just as I will not die."
Ao Xuehua sighed slightly and released his right hand: "There is nothing wrong with your vocal cords, it's just aphasia."
"Very good. I know you have practiced Thousand Tribulations, so you must have finished watching the Thirty-six Dust Tribulations. Do you still remember the Eighth Sound Tribulations?"
Only now did Xiao Jiu understand the extraordinary nature of this girl he met by chance, but he didn't wait for her answer.
"Listen, just think about the eighth calamity and practice a little bit. Then you can speak easily."
"There are only a few descendants of Thousand Tribulations in this world. If you are really willing, let's go forward together tonight."
Having said this, Ao Xuehua hugged Xiao Jiu's neck, as if the calm and solemn girl just now was not her at all, and said carelessly: "Let that heartless man be with that ice doll. Come, let's form a team Team, we will kill the adulterers to death on this Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern."
Ge Sheng, who was listening clearly, jumped to his feet and said, "Hey, don't say it so harshly, okay?"
Ao Xuehua protected Xiao Jiu behind her, with a very narrow-minded look in her eyes, and said: "If you and that ice doll hadn't been holding hands together to care for me, how could my Xiao Jiu be like this? Angry, you are a philanderer, if you talk to me again I will cut off your tongue."
Even Xiaojiu felt that she said too much, and felt that this sister was really powerful. She covered her forehead slightly and wrote helplessly: "Sister, why do you use idioms so well?"
The pony-tailed girl raised her head and said without any shame: "That's natural. I specially specialized in Lanye language before I came here. I must learn the slang used to curse people first. This is common sense."
Xiao Jiu's outlook on life was a little changed by the sister in front of her: "Although you scold me to relieve my anger, it is also common sense to consider your age."
Ao Xuehua touched his nose without any remorse, and said with evil intentions: "This, who is he to you?"
"He is my brother." Xiaojiu wrote seriously.
"Is this a taboo love affair between brother and sister? I support you." The pony-tailed girl's eyes shone, "Then the elder brother discovered his conscience and tried to rein in the prodigal son, while the younger sister was addicted to love and couldn't extricate herself. This scene is great. "
Xiaojiu's eyes twitched and she wrote seriously: "You make me want to kill someone."
Ao Xuehua laughed loudly and raised his hand to rub Xiaojiu's hair, which was not very smooth, and said, "So, sometimes this is the best way. I won't be so unhappy."
Xiao Jiu was silent. Indeed, at that moment, she really forgot about the unhappiness with Ge Sheng. She looked at the white sister in front of her, nodded and wrote: "Thank you, you are such a good sister."
In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he looked at the two of them and tried to raise his hand to touch Xingxi's forehead, but the other party quietly stepped back to avoid him. He could only look at Ge Sheng and the black-clothed mage: "Senior sister Are you interested in joining us?"
Ge Sheng looked at the mage in black curiously, and saw that she seemed to think about it again, nodded, and said in a slight voice: "Yes."
At this moment, the emcee in the venue looked at the number of people in the venue, checked the time, stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Before the game starts, I would like to reiterate the rules."
"First, each participating team is composed of two people, one is responsible for deciphering the mystery, and the other is responsible for finding the answer."
"Second, the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern is divided into nine layers. Each layer has eighty-one, seventy-two, sixty-three, forty-five and other riddles that are multiples of nine. There are square grooves under each riddle. Only Find the corresponding riddle block and insert it into the groove to obtain the evidence to enter the next level. It should be noted that starting from the sixth level, there are only four, three, two, and one riddles left in each level to ensure that there will be no mistakes. Multiple teams participated in the final competition.”
"Every level after the sixth level will give contestants prizes, the value of which is no less than one golden leaf clover."
"Third, each level has a time limit of one stick of incense. If you exceed the time limit, you will be eliminated. Therefore, all contestants are asked to cherish their time."
"I believe everyone is coming with their companions. If you come alone, you will inevitably lose tacit understanding when forming a team with passers-by. Therefore, I hope that single friends will call their companions outside as soon as possible. At the same time, I will show you the details of this competition. Prize for winning.”
Hearing the words of the emcee, the crowd immediately became commotion, because the notice outside did not mention that two people were required to sign up as a team, so the only thing left to call friends was to join together, and it was inevitable that a group of people would pay a silver coin to come to the venue, so The land enclosed by the copper fence is quite large. Except for the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern with the closed door in the center, it is more than enough for hundreds of people to stand in the remaining open space.
I have to say that there are quite a lot of rich people with spare money in Lanyin City.
…
…
"Have you started?" The man with a sinister face looked at the crowd outside the window. He was sitting in the darkness, as if he had merged into the darkness itself.
The huge Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern stood outside the window, and the light was faintly reflected on his face.
"Yes, as the city lord expected." The person in front of him replied solemnly. "A total of 623 teams have entered, and everything has been arranged. However, my subordinates are still worried that it would be inappropriate for the city lord to use the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern like this."
"How can Lanyin City's tradition of more than a hundred years be abandoned in one day?" The city owner shook his head: "This lamp has protected Lanyin City for hundreds of years, and it will naturally continue to protect it."
Then he paused: "How is Yi'er?"
The man said: "The young lady has been a little disappointed since she came back. She didn't answer any questions she asked."
The city lord groaned and sighed: "Bring your clothes on and come out, I'll ask in person."
