Chapter 309: Mid-Autumn Festival (Part II)
When Zheng Ming and the ghost slave heard this, they immediately shook their spirits and cheered to receive their orders. The three of them agreed, and then rushed to Tianxian Mansion.
At this time, the sun had set in the West Mountain, and there seemed to be a chill in the lively atmosphere in Yanjing City.
Finally, it was dark time. Yanjing City is even more lively. I saw that the sky was bright, the colorful clouds began to disperse, a huge crystal full moon slowly rose, the city was spread around the cup washing, the children were noisy, and the so-called festival was also. Many women have begun to pray for blessings in the moon.
Listen to the strings and boil again, close to the residents of the inner extension, and hear the sound of the sheng taro music, just like outside the clouds. Children in every household are playing and having fun. Look at the night market Khotan, all kinds of lanterns are bright, colorful, and very beautiful. Some children cooked early and gathered in groups to see the lanterns.
Moments later, in the market, there was a burst of shouts. The voices are full of people, and the friendship is endless. Several babies rushed to the first place, and saw a golden dragon and a red dragon dancing, majestic, showing the majesty of the king of all beasts. Those who danced the dragon were all composed of Liao people and Song people, all of them were strong and burly, and they cheered like thunder. The babies are all happy to watch, and the adults next to them are also watching with relish. Suddenly, the golden dragon spat flames, and the red dragon rose in the fire, which was really shocking, and then there were bursts of applause. Some of the rich sons who had already set a good location in the restaurants around the bazaar, the table was full of fruits and wine, while admiring the moon, while watching the dragon dance downstairs, from time to time they couldn't help but applaud, some of them were in love, and they chanted poems in style. But said that among these sons, many of them are the children of the family in the Hedong area, I heard that Yanjing will hold a grand Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, it just so happens that now the Jin people have withdrawn their troops, and they have heard that under the jurisdiction of this dragon barbarian rebel army, they are all calm, there is little chaos, and the bandits have disappeared, so they have gone.
There is a child of a family with a pseudonym of a dashing son, under the coaxing of the group of friends, he drank three cups of cinnamon wine in a row, took the four treasures of the study, and wrote on the paper, singing while writing words.
I saw the inner clouds on the paper:
At this time, it is Shuanglong spitting fire, the fragrance of osmanthus is floating, and the street market is as bright as day. A chic son, singing and admiring the moon. Every house in the city may open a wide pavilion and list the tortoise feasts. The piano is sonorous, drinking wine and singing, in order to be happy. As for the home of the shop, they also climbed the small platform to arrange family banquets and gather children to reward the festival. Although the people in the alleys are poor, there are also the dragon masters to help, relieve the agricultural market wine, indulge in joy and welcome joy, and the joy is not extreme. This night the street sells and buys, playing the moon tourists, the mother-in-law is in the city, under the glorious moon, the joy is endless.
After writing, the group members rushed to watch and read it, and they all praised it. The people in the street listened to it several times, and they were all able to chant it.
An hour later, the full moon is high in the night sky, which is the highest and brightest time. In the Tianxian Mansion, it was already full of people. Deng Yun and his brothers greeted the guests, and everyone who saw Deng Yun, whether it was a noble and humble status or a difference between Song and Liao, all respectfully called 'Master Long'. At this time, a sudden report came, saying that Master Dunqing of Tiangangbao Temple and his disciples had arrived. Deng Yun's face was shocked, and Xu Qing and Yang Zaixing cast their eyes, both of them were understanding, so they went to greet Deng Yunqi, and all the guests followed behind the host's house and came to the front yard. On the platform, a huge diamond-shaped sky lantern stands up, with a total of six sides, each of which is painted with the appearance of the Bodhisattva Dhara.
"Amitabha, good, good. It's been a long time since the old man has seen Yanjing City so lively, and Master Long is really meritorious. I saw Dunqing coming with more than a dozen haters, and when he saw Deng Yun, he first bowed and praised without humility or arrogance.
As soon as these words came out, the guests around did not forget to pat themselves on the back and responded one after another. Deng Yun thanked everyone, and then smiled at Dunqing: "It's rare that Master Dunqing can move the frame here and light this sky lantern, Deng is really flattered." Deng has ordered someone to prepare some pastries and fruits, and the lanterns will be lit later, and he hopes that Master Dunqing will stay for a gathering. ”
"Good. It's rare to have a grand ceremony tonight, everyone is happy, and the old man will not be hypocritical, which swept away the interest of the big guys. He replied with a good voice, and ordered the haters behind him to prepare for the lighting of the lamp. The guests were curious and rushed to be the first to see. The people outside the house heard that the dragon master invited the master of Tiangang Treasure Temple to light the lantern, and they also gathered in front of the house to watch.
In the Tianxian Mansion, Gera and Li Yaozong stayed in the banquet, drinking and laughing. There were about a dozen people in each of the two groups, all waiting for the sky lantern to come up, ready to attack. Most of the guests went to watch the lanterns, and it was a little deserted for a while.
"I heard that the women of the Long Manzi's family are all worshipping the moon in the courtyard of the East Wing. The east chamber is only a hundred zhang away from here, and it will arrive after two turnways, and we will wait for this signal together. As long as you kill that Yelu Phoenix Immortal, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!! The speaker was a man with a delicate face but a pair of gloomy eyes, it was Li Yaozong. At this time, Li Yaozong is instructing his brothers. And not far away, the burly and powerful man, that is, Gra, was also giving instructions to his brothers at this time.
On the other side, it is said that Master Dunqing has ascended to the platform, and his disciples who have sat down are all around, chanting Buddhist scriptures. Master Dunqing held a torch and glanced at an abomination in the right corner. That hateful person turned out to be Xuan Feng, it turned out that these haters were all dressed up by Xuan Feng and his subordinates, all waiting for the sky lantern together, and after Gra and Li Yaozong succeeded, they took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Deng Yun.
At this time, Deng Yun was smiling, but his eyes quickly glanced at those haters, and secretly sneered: "Hmph." This old guy really has bad intentions, these haters have a cruel look on their faces, they must be assassins!! ”
Deng Yun turned his mind and cast his eyes at Xu Qing and Yang Zaixing. The two of them understood, and each of them dispersed to the sides.
As the chanting of Buddhist scriptures became louder and louder, Dunqing finally lit the sky lantern, only to see the sky lantern slowly rising, shining like another bright moon and rising to the night sky, some sincere people knelt down and bowed to the sky lantern.
"The lights are on!" On the other side, Gera saw it with a clear eye, and with a silent thought in her heart, she looked at the brothers at the table, and was about to have a seizure. At this moment, suddenly a huge black shadow came, and a thunderous cry was heard. “hahahaha~~!! This brother, Niu Ye is drinking happily, but those people have gone to see the sky lantern, Niu Ye must be a wine hero when he sees you like this, how about drinking with Niu Ye. ”
Gra's heart was shocked, and before she could stand up, she was pressed down by a big palm, and then she felt that the palm was as heavy as a mountain peak, which made Gerla's face change continuously, and she turned her head to look at it, and suddenly her face was bloodless.
At the same time, at Li Yaozong's seat, two men also appeared, it was Ji Qing and Huo Rui. Huo Rui had a grinning smile on his face, carrying two jars of wine in his hand, one on the table, but he also wanted Li Yaozong to drink with him. On the other hand, Ji Qing had a cold face, looking coldly at Li Yaozong's minions.
"You abominable subordinate, who wants to drink with you!! I don't care about you!! Li Yaozong looked down on people from poor backgrounds the most in his life, which is one of the reasons why he rebelled. At this time, Li Yaozong thought that he would have to fight anyway, and he didn't have to suffer from this bird anger, so he shouted angrily, and pushed the two jars of wine to Huo Rui, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Brothers, do it!! ”
When the cheers started, I saw Huo Ruifei punching suddenly, the two jars of wine suddenly burst open, the wine spilled, and he didn't forget to drink in his mouth: "Hehe~~!" Pretentious dog thing, wasting grandpa's two jars of good wine, it's really damn ~!! ”
Li Yaozong's minions heard the loud cheers, and hurriedly got up, and before he could pull out the hidden dagger, suddenly a few cold rays of light shot out, and a few screams sounded. Those who fell had a swallow shuttle stuck in their foreheads, faces, and throats, but they were all hidden weapons issued by Ji Qing.
At the same time, on the other side. When the brothers under Gra's command heard the sound of the fighting, they were in disarray, and they were all bandits, and they had long been accustomed to fighting with others, so they shouted angrily and threw themselves at the ox.
"Song people~~!! Let go of your dirty hands, we are masters and you can move!? ”
"Dog thief, watch me blow up your dog head~~!!"
The two fierce men swung their fists at Niu Gao like vicious wolves and mountain pigs. Gera also changed her face drastically, and shouted: "Don't underestimate people too much!! You lost dog of the Song Kingdom!! ”
I saw Gera struggling to get up, and at this moment, the smile on Niu Gao's face suddenly stiffened, and his huge body suddenly bulged into muscles like iron.
"I don't know what to do~! It's you who underestimate people! The chilling sound was followed by a terrifying scream of pain. I saw that Niu Gao actually grabbed a piece of flesh and blood on Gra's shoulder, and the terrifying grip was very unimaginable. Rao is Gela, who has long been accustomed to licking blood at the edge of the knife, also rolled to the ground in pain. said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the two men under Gra's command saw that Gela was hit hard, and they were even more fierce, and they suddenly pounced. Niu Gao turned around, a pair of ape arms flew up like lightning, grabbed a head with one hand, and slammed it together, the two heads collided, and exploded in an instant, and the flesh and brain dripped.
The remaining seven or eight big men were stunned, and the guests at the table next to them were all screaming in fright.
On the other side, I saw Huo Rui punching and flying, and Li Yaozong also had some skills, and he was on par with Huo Rui. However, Li Yaozong was still at a disadvantage, and his minions saw it clearly, and they all wanted to come to help in the battle, but they were all repelled by Ji Qing with a swallow shuttle.
"Whew~~~!! You filthy subordinate, let me die~~!! Li Yaozong looked crazy, knowing that if he no longer worked hard, when the guards in the palace were killed, he would end up dead without a place to be buried, and suddenly evil was born from the side of his guts, and he took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed at Huo Rui's ground door. Huo Rui's eyes were violent, and he actually raised his fist to fight.
"Stupid guy!! Do you want to fight my blade with your bare hands!! Li Yaozong sneered in his heart, seeing that the dagger was about to pierce into the flying fist, a cold smile appeared on his face. At this moment, Huo Rui's big fist suddenly disappeared, and when Li Yaozong reacted, he felt that his wrist was grabbed, and the whole person was quickly taken over. Huo Rui drove his shoulder and bumped into it, Li Yaozong screamed in pain, and the whole person was knocked away, Huo Rui quickly caught up, and his fists hit Li Yaozong's body again and again.
