The Ghost Festival is the most grand festival in Tianyu Mountain.
On that night, all living creatures, including demons and beasts, will gather in front of the fluctuating light platform to admire the moon and listen to Zen.
The Fluctuating Light Platform is the most sacred place in Tianyu Mountain.
The main building is a tower-style building dedicated to the statues of successive great ministers. It is the highest point in the entire Tianyu Mountain, with a total height of ninety-nine floors.
Because there is a luminous pearl on the top of the tower that goes straight into the clouds. When night falls, the light is so bright that the sea of stars in the sky seems to be directed by this tower.
This is where the name of the Shaking Light Tower comes from.
The fluctuating light platform is located in the center of Tianyu Mountain and is built in the shape of the Beidou.
It is larger than the four mansions of Tianshu, Dongxi, Xusu and Zhensu combined.
The stone slabs on the ground are spaced as wide as a big arm and are crisscrossed vertically and horizontally, forming a huge star array network. In each vertical and horizontal grid, there are clear water flows.
The altar in the center is the main place for prayers during the Ghost Festival. It is a nine-story wide platform made of white marble, with small seal runes engraved on each step.
For Jiumu, this Ghost Festival is particularly important.
Because today is not only this kid’s birthday, but also the first time in twenty years that he has stepped onto the fluting stage to sing the rebirth mantra!
It stands to reason that the 20-year-old god would have already learned the fourth-level runes and started to take over the blessing and sealing of Tianyu Mountain.
Therefore, the main gods in Tianshu Mansion must perform the Rebirth Mantra when they reach the age of twenty.
Last year, the Yunqi prayer was very brilliant.
But...Jiu Mu, who has not yet passed the junior level, has never been exposed to drawing talismans, and has no idea whether he can successfully complete it. This is really worrying.
That night, Jiumu finally took off his unisex red robe and put on a black coat with long sleeves.
The ribbons and jade pendants around the waist are all available, and the mythical animals and herbs on the robe are all embroidered with gold and silver threads. How gorgeous!
Ninety-nine young men in black clothes on each side led the way, holding the crested jade Ruyi all the way to the fluctuating light platform.
Each young man in black drew illuminating charms around himself, and the yellow glowing charms were floating around, like stars carrying lanterns traveling in groups.
Exactly that sentence, the galaxy is brilliant!
Every household in the city hangs red lanterns at their doorsteps and puts butter lamps along the walls.
Suddenly, the lights were bright, and the whole city was filled with lights, even better than the star Yingying.
The sky lanterns on the fluctuating light platform had already been lit and set off, flying all over the sky.
Tens of millions of sky lanterns are floating like stars everywhere, all the way to the Milky Way. Even though it is at night, it is no different than during the day on a clear day.
Jiu Mu walked slowly through the crowd holding the crested jade Ruyi.
His eyes were as dark as the black robe, and his silver hair shone brightly in the light of thousands of candles.
The ribbon was fluttering in the night wind. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether this guy was a god or a demon, a human or a monster.
Even if they had despised this guy before, all living beings would be respectful and bow to him at this moment.
Jiu Mu walked up to the center of the fluctuating light platform solemnly and cautiously. As soon as he stood firm on the nine-story wide platform, the sound of chimes and chimes sounded.
Hundreds of young men in black harmonized with the music. The sound was like a loud bell, rich and powerful. The rebirth mantra echoed in the fluctuating light platform, and there were ups and downs between the vocal music.
Jiu Mu danced a sacrificial dance with the boys in black along with the vocal music.
All the people in the audience were mesmerized by this face that could not distinguish between human and monster.
Du Heng was the most fascinated, standing in the crowd of spirit-calling ghosts to show off that he was his master.
Yun Qi stared nervously at the overestimating guy on the stage, fearing that he wouldn't be able to draw the charm and would start to argue about right and wrong.
"Fight hard! You're not afraid of embarrassment!" Yun Qi muttered in his heart, full of worry.
Although he didn't say it, Yun Qi really felt sorry for Jiu Mu.
She knew that bastards like Yuan Wenji must be waiting to see Jiumu's jokes tonight!
While Jiu Mu was making gestures to draw the rebirth mantra, Yun Qi, with quick eyes and hands, avoided hearing and eyes, quietly pinched out a lot of peach petals, flew to Jiu Mu, turned it into a rebirth mantra, and pretended that it was drawn by that boy.
Jiu Mu opened his hand and pointed with the jade Ruyi, the rebirth curse was broken and scattered into the stage.
Everyone was amazed and bowed again, all showing admiration and respect.
Those waiting to see the fun all have disappointed looks!
Although Yuan Wenji was dissatisfied, he could only show his displeasure and could not do anything else!
Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiumu looked towards her and gave her a look of thanks!
I thought her little move was unnoticed, but I didn't expect it to be seen by a gangster in the crowd.
The boy put on the big black hat on his cloak and sneakily approached Yun Qi.
Most of the people in the city went to Yaoguangtai, and there were only two brothers who were gatekeepers in Tianquan Garden left in Tianshu Mansion.
After hearing the rebirth mantra, a slightly shorter boy in white climbed up the wall to listen to the music.
Not to mention that the singing voice is moving, now is the best time for Jifenad to increase his spiritual power, and of course this kid is not willing to let it go easily.
The tall boy was not as eager for quick success as this kid. Although he still guarded the barrier, he was lazy and relaxed his vigilance a little.
While taking a nap, I suddenly heard a cat meowing above my head. I looked up suddenly and lost consciousness.
The tall boy opened the door of Tianquanyuan like a puppet and went to the main hall to let Chuan Chizi escape.
When he woke up again, the tall boy was already leaning on the stone steps of Tianquan Garden, as if he had fallen asleep, and he was confused about what he had just done.
Then watch the black shadow jump up to the ridge of the roof without anyone noticing, then dodge towards the west wall, all the way towards the fluctuating light platform.
And Zhong Le did not go to the fluting light platform to watch the ceremony. She sneaked into Master Qinghe's house at night and went straight to her bedroom.
It was a good rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.
The boy on night watch came and went several times outside Master Qinghe's room.
Zhong Le was cautious and in a hurry, fearing that Lord Qinghe would come back early.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment of the sacrificial dance, the jade Ruyi in Jiu Mu's hand suddenly became scalding hot!
Dark red light emanated from Yu Ruyi, almost bursting.
The high priest frowned and quickly glanced around, and sure enough he saw a black cat standing on the ridge of the main hall of the Fluctuating Light Platform.
Da Siming was shocked and confused, "It is indeed him!"
It was getting hotter and hotter, Jiumu frowned, he couldn't bear it anymore!
As soon as he let go, Ruyi fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The crowd in the audience suddenly sighed and talked a lot.
The gangster in the black hat took advantage of the chaos and walked up to Yun Qi. After doing some tricks, he quietly left.
Yun Qi was worried, thinking, "All my efforts tonight were in vain!"
He didn't even notice that someone touched him, and he didn't even know that the peach blossom hairpin on his head was stolen!
Without the hairpin, Yun Qi would no longer have the ability to draw spells.
This guy only cares about others, and he was demoted to the level of a god for no reason!
Da Siming shook the bracelet on his wrist, and with a flash of white light, the fragments returned to their original state and immediately returned to Jiumu's hands.
Jiumu pretended to be calm and insisted on finishing the rebirth mantra.
A young man in red came to Da Siming to plead guilty, and confessed that he had failed to take care of it as he wished, which was why the magic weapon exploded.
Although the high priest knew that there was a reason for the incident, because of the many pairs of eyes staring at him, he publicly announced that they had been dismissed from the priesthood and expelled from Tianshu Mansion.
All living beings were doubtful, but they didn't want to say anything, so they just talked in silence and dispersed.
Du Heng walked in the opposite direction from the dispersing crowd, grabbed Jiumu's hand and saw that it was badly burned.
Du Heng was so distressed that he almost cried.
Jiumu comforted him by saying that he was fine, so he ignored Yun Qi and the others and went to the Tianshu Mansion with Du Heng.
What the gods of the Privy Council did not expect was that half of the tens of thousands of windows in the mansion were broken during the period of listening to the curse.
Da Siming immediately issued an edict to seal the mouths of all the servants, and sent out secret messages overnight, prohibiting all ghosts from appearing at night.
Let's say that Zhong Le stole Chuan Chizi's fetal hair from Master Qinghe, took the soul-burning lamp from the warehouse, and then went to Tianquan Garden with Da Siming to prepare to burn Chuan Chizi to death.
But who would have thought that when Da Siming took the Qiankun bag, it was already empty.
Da Siming hurriedly found the two white-clothed boys to inquire, and they both said, "Before this, there was nothing strange."
Everyone was shocked! Da Siming hurriedly sent out his servants to search secretly.
But after searching through almost the entire Tianyu Mountain, there was no sign of Nachuan Chizi!
The people at Kangsu Garden were busy until midnight, but still no trace of the guy was found.
Yun Qi was worried for a day, even though Da Siming didn't want her and Jiumu to get involved in this matter.
But Yun Qi was always worried, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep, thinking only of going to Tianxuan Garden to find out the news.
The wind in this courtyard is cool and cool, it is midsummer, which is very strange.
Yun Qi, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up.
Because it was the middle of the month, the big moon shone brightly in the mansion, and the butter lamps in each courtyard of the mansion were burning brightly.
Yun Qi saw that the door of Tianxuan Garden was still open, so he walked directly through the Chaoshou Veranda and headed towards Tianxuan Garden.
The patter of footsteps was particularly clear in this silent veranda.
Suddenly a cat meowed and Yun Qi jumped!
"Where did the cat come from!" Yun Qi muttered, his eyelids twitching all the time.
Following the sound, I found that it was coming from the attic where Du Heng lived.
Yun Qi stopped and looked over, only to see a black shadow flashing away in a hurry and disappearing again.
Yun Qi stared at it vigilantly for a while, but there was nothing strange, so she no longer cared about that and walked anxiously towards Tianxuan Garden.
There was a bang, and the newly repaired window in the attic was shattered by the thrown pebbles.
Du Heng, who had been awake because of fear, was now even more frightened.
The moon shone brightly and clearly on the rolling pebbles, as if rubbing against Du Heng's heart.
A child's laughter suddenly appeared, eerie and eerie, but then disappeared out of thin air.
Du Heng was startled and opened the book of the past to protect himself.
He yelled in a panic, "Hey, no kid from anywhere dares to run wild in Tianshu Mansion!"
There was silence everywhere, except for Du Heng's breathing and pounding heartbeat.
Du Heng was scared to death, but without an order, he didn't dare to leave the attic without permission, so he had to squat in the corner and didn't dare to move.
