Chapter 620 89. Human Scene
As the night falls and the moon shines, the lights in the city dance across thousands of houses.
On both sides of the East Lake, everything in the world is reflected in the water.
The scene of the Lantern Festival illuminates the night of Zhuolu, intoxicating the world and making the gods lower their eyebrows.
There were hundreds of lanterns hung on the big boats on the river, and people were cheering. On the street, shamans wearing bone ornaments chanted hymns, and stalls were set up to sell masks. The emperor's daughter stopped and asked the price of the red face with fangs, then turned around and covered it, and the children suddenly cried.
"Who cares about the rights and wrongs of this world, but only a hundred years, a cup of loess!" Wu Zhu sang, and when he danced, the animal bones made a pleasant rustling sound as the accompaniment.
"How?" asked the emperor's daughter wearing a red face with fangs.
Li Xi'an listened to the cries and curses, shook his head and said: "It scares the children."
The emperor's daughter ran away with a smile and got into the crowd of children. For a moment, there was a lot of excitement and no peace. When Li Xi'an walked over, the emperor's daughter was sighing and said: "It really scares the child."
Continuing forward along the streets hung with lanterns and ribbons, people were coming and going, and among them many great demons could be seen.
"My eldest brother is indeed powerful. Judging from the scenery in front of him, he is rarely seen in Xuanyuan City by the Jishui River." The emperor praised him.
Li Xi'an nodded.
It is indeed not easy to be able to present a grand scene in this era that is no less than that of later generations.
As the sound of music came, the crowd gave way and a float decorated with pure white slowly passed by. Dancing on the float was a real living being with a powerful spiritual energy. As he danced, old trees sprouted branches and flowers bloomed. Follow the float all the way forward.
The messenger on the float flew down and came to the people. They are inviting lucky people to step onto the float together and enter the center of Xuanyuan City. When the messenger flew, everyone expected to be chosen.
The messenger stopped in front of Li Xi'an and wove garlands for him and the emperor's daughter to wear.
This means that they are the lucky ones favored by the Flower God tonight, and can enter the central palace on a float with the Flower God.
On the night when the sky lanterns are always bright, each god has his own "float". Of course, the appearance may not be as neat and beautiful as the flower god. There are demon gods in the mountains and rivers shouting fight, fight, man when they choose the lucky one. His blood will never get cold, and even the "float" is made of extremely explosive bones and flames.
The Flower Goddess is the image of a woman with outstanding beauty among the gods.
There are many people who are obsessed with the Goddess of Flowers, and her floats are often surrounded by fanatical believers.
Flowers pave the road, and ribbons hang down to welcome those lucky people into the floats.
The dance of the Flower Goddess continued, but she glanced at the crowd thoughtfully. When she saw a certain lucky person, her blood suddenly stagnated, and she stumbled in confusion. Her dancing posture is extremely beautiful, and even in such a situation, she can still adapt to Yuan Hui perfectly.
But quietly, Flora covered her mouth to hide her surprised expression.
There is a cave inside the float. Li Xi'an followed the messenger to a room, which was very spacious and could see the fireworks outside.
The emperor touched the wreath on her head and felt the touch of the petals between her fingertips.
She cannot touch the flowers, and the drought will burn through the earth thousands of miles around with her as the center. Rivers will stop flowing because of her, let alone those fragile stamens.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Want to buy flowers?" the girl asked, holding flowers.
Along the way, people thought she was the messenger of the Flower God on the float, so they happily bought the flowers, even though they were a bit expensive. After all, the flowers sold on the float were naturally made by the Flower God.
At this time, she hit a wall. Li Xi'an looked at the emperor's daughter and seemed to have no intention of buying flowers.
The girl noticed the emperor's daughter sitting quietly behind her, and her eyes lit up, "My lord, please buy some flowers for your wife! You two complement each other so well, I will make it cheaper for you."
This trick can be said to be tried and true. Even if people don't have much money to board the float, she can come up with a flexible price.
Li Xi'an shook his head and smiled.
The girl didn't understand the meaning, thinking that she couldn't even touch this guy? He seemed to have a good temperament and appearance... the girl thought about it, but she couldn't recall the man's appearance in detail. She looked up again and clearly saw the other person standing in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, the other person's face seemed to be covered with an impenetrable fog.
"This girl is my descendant." Li Xi'an said.
Only then did the girl realize the problem. It turned out that they were not a couple at all. The two people she was plotting against were the elder and the younger.
She didn't think about why she couldn't see through Li Xi'an's appearance anyway.
This is Xuanyuan City, a city where it is not unusual for an emperor to appear on the streets.
She was not too surprised. She apologized and was about to leave. Who would have thought that Li Xi'an stopped her. The girl turned back with joy, thinking that the other party was going to buy flowers, but she heard Li Xi'an say: "You are not the messenger of the Flower God, and the flowers you are selling are not the flowers favored by the Flower God."
The girl's expression changed, and she closed the door of the room from behind. As her expression changed, she walked towards Li Xi'an with a stern face, as if she had evil intentions, and there was huge energy hidden in her surging spiritual body.
Then she plopped down and knelt down in front of Li Xi'an and hugged his legs, "Don't tell anyone. You don't remember the faults of villains. Let me go! I'm just following Sister Huashen to make ends meet. It’s really hard to be a god these days. A little god like me with no believers and no strength can only live in Xuanyuan City with less than three sons a year!”
"What kind of god are you?" the emperor asked.
"The God of Huiqing..." the girl said.
The emperor's daughter had never heard of Huiqing Pond, and thought that she had lived far away from the world for too long, so she didn't know about this place.
Li Xi'an was familiar with Shen Nong's scriptures on vegetation. The book recorded almost every corner of China's mountains, rivers, creatures and vegetation. He remembered it and said: "On the mountainside behind Zhangshan Mountain, there is wisdom grass. Eating it can make people clear and intelligent." , To grow this kind of grass, it needs to be irrigated by the water at the foot of the south mountain of Zhangshan, so the water is called Huiqing Pool. You are the spirit born in Huiqing Pool.”
The girl's eyes widened when she heard this, and she suddenly felt that this person was unfathomable and that he could not stay here for long.
A creature with such knowledge is either an immortal or a great god of mountains and rivers, maybe the god in charge of her entire mountain, so he knows her well.
"Does the Flower Goddess have a good relationship with you? Can you use her outfit to deceive her?" the emperor asked.
"This is not cheating!" the girl said seriously. After selling flowers for a long time, she suffered from occupational diseases and kept talking. "Although the flower is not the flower of the Flower God, I watered it with the water of Huiqing Pond. I smell the fragrance of this flower. The effect of refreshing and warding off evil spirits! The Huiqing Pond is shrinking little by little. What does this mean? It means that this kind of flower is growing one by one, and it is a limited edition! The price is reasonable!”
"If it has such a magical effect, why should we use the name of the God of Flowers and just not sell it in a dignified way?" the emperor asked again.
When the girl fell to her knees, Li Xian had already picked up the flowers she was selling, and then picked out one flower from the pile. Compared with other gorgeous flowers in the bouquet, this flower had not yet fully bloomed. , the petals are half closed, and even the color is not very bright.
This is the only flower in the bouquet that is watered with water from the Huiqing Pond, so it’s natural that it won’t be sold.
Li Xi'an had no money flowing in the world, so he reached out and took a handful of the air, condensing the free spiritual energy in the air into crystals.
"That's it." The girl was overjoyed when she saw the spiritual energy crystal in Li Xi'an's palm. He looks like a "master" at every turn, and his virtues are not inferior to those of the ancient world.
After getting the aura crystal, the girl disappeared immediately. Even though there were several unvisited rooms in the float, she did not dare to sell flowers anymore. She held up the bouquet and shook her head, thinking that if the big shots in Xuanyuan City were as talkative as the one in front of her, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state, with no food to eat.
Li Xi'an showed the flowers to the emperor's daughter for inspection.
"Did you see anything?"
The emperor's daughter took it and gently opened the stamens with her knuckles. She did not feel the comfortable aura, but an aura of decay. Perhaps for ordinary people, this flower can indeed have a refreshing effect, but when it comes to the level of law, the deeper nature can be seen clearly.
The spirit is failing.
"It seems that the world is changing. Soon, this world will be unable to accommodate those righteous gods, and they will gradually decline." Li Xi'an said.
"How did Mr. Long judge it?"
Li Xi'an's eyes fell on the flower, and a golden wave spread deep in his pupils.
"Of course I saw it."
The float slowly drove through the streets, with graceful dancers dancing along with the Goddess of Flowers on its tail paved with petals and ribbons. People cheered and shouted, and the red lights reflected laughter.
People believe in Bai Di.
But heaven and earth are ever-changing.
The outside world was noisy and noisy, but the emperor felt a chill rushing over her and her blood solidified.
"If the spirit can decay, does it mean that the emperor will not last forever? I don't mean people like my father, but this position."
"This world is broken, and the source of truth will dry up. If you lose an emperor, you will lose it forever. Will you ever see the power of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang reappear in the world?" Li Xi'an nodded and informed the emperor's daughter of the cruel fact.
He looked at the imperial daughter who was deep in thought, "Relax, I'm taking you out to play. If you make me look like a parent who goes out to an amusement park with his children and talks about their academic performance, it will be very difficult for me."
The emperor's daughter was frightened by Li Xi'an's metaphor. She had exactly the same reaction as Xuanyuan. She didn't understand it, but she could understand the meaning.
After saying that, Li Xi'an withdrew his gaze and stopped mentioning these topics.
He can detect more than the Emperor's daughter.
Now the Yan Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, and the White Emperor have appeared, corresponding to the five elements of fire, earth, and gold.
What is engraved on that Tao source is the return of the five elements. When the era of the Five Emperors ends, the era of Tao will also end. Creatures in later generations will find that there is no way out after reaching the ultimate state, thus starting the era of emergence.
But why are the creatures at the origin level allowed to appear in this world without being noticed, but why are they targeted by the Supreme Being in the dark during the Era of Ascension?
Li Xi'an's sight still couldn't penetrate the hidden fog.
…………
The central part of Xuanyuan City on the Zhuolu Plain, that is, the central palace, was almost completely copied from the previous buildings, and then expanded on some foundations. It has an inner palace building complex and an outer building complex.
The float entered the core circle of the Central Palace.
The crowds of people brought some noise to this quiet place.
The ground of the silver-white square reflects the cold moon. This is a square that was forged by Shaohao himself, and its chilling aura never dissipates all year round. Normally, just standing here would give people chills in their hearts. Now the festive atmosphere has diluted the majesty of the emperor, and the officials and gods who once stood unsteadily in this square can now sing and dance!
But after all, the number of creatures that can come to this square is much less than that in Xuanyuan City.
Most of the floats with gods were sent, followed by a long procession, and then each occupied an area.
When Li Xi'an stepped out of the float, the Flower God stood beside the float and bowed to Li Xi'an with a very low posture. Those lucky ones who were led by the divine messenger looked in the direction of Li Xi'an, wanting to see who had attracted the favor of the Flower God.
"No, it's just an illusion. Why can't I see that person's face clearly?"
"You toad spirit, your eyes are not normal, let me see what's going on. I haven't heard of any talented people this year. If the flower god personally welcomes this, it won't be some little Xuanyuan family. Ancestor?”
"It's so weird. I can't see clearly. I can't see clearly at all. That person is like a mist, so mysterious!"
In the center of the square, a tall tower stands. The inscriptions on the tower are still stained with dried blood.
Li Xi'an stood in the square. The square looked like a metal texture. The moment he stepped on it, it seemed as if a ray of light swept across his body from bottom to top.
The flower god said: "This is the emperor's selection method."
"Every year on Lantern Festival night, floats loaded with gifted creatures will come here. The emperor will choose his warriors."
Li Xi'an responded, thinking that the Flower God recognized him.
At this moment, his attention was on the tall tower in the center of the square.
He looked around again. Each float symbolized a god, and behind the god were his envoys and the chosen creatures, all arranged neatly. Even the big demons who shouted "fight" in Xuanyuan City have calmed down a lot.
Like a primary school flag-raising ceremony.
The flower god was not angry because of Li Xi'an's indifference. She continued: "My superior god is Lord Jumang, who is in charge of spring. He is the emperor's son, so I can also hear many things about the emperor."
"The emperor said that this seemingly peaceful world hid a shocking crisis. He wanted to imitate his father Huangdi and spread the Tao and Dharma to the world, so that all spirits would have the opportunity to hold the sword."
The communication between the Flower God and Li Xi'an was very measured, and after speaking, he calmly withdrew.
As for the emperor's daughter, she has long been transformed into invisible green fire, and few living beings can break through this hidden magical power.
After the flower god left, the emperor said: "It seems that the eldest brother has discovered the changes in the world a long time ago."
Li Xi'an shook his head. For this era, he was just an old guy taking his juniors to the amusement park, and he didn't want to stray into such a serious occasion.
"Let's go," he said.
"Don't you want Mr. Long to stay here?"
"There is no fun here, just the smell of metal rust. If you smell it too much, it will inevitably become stale. You are still young, and the noise in the outside world belongs to you."
