Chapter 10 10. Festivals
There are many monks who have come down from the mountain in Dongshan Town. They come in in blatant disguises. Except for monks with higher cultivation than them, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect the spiritual energy in them.
They have integrated into the place very reasonably, and you can tell at a glance that they are regulars here.
Seeing this, Yuyao suddenly remembered something. At this time, he might still be able to see people from the inner sect.
I heard that except for the disciples of Jian Tang, 90% of the rest of the inner sect do not eat in the sect all year round. They just dislike the food in the sect as it is too unpalatable, so most of them eat spiritual food in Dongshan Town or towns.
Yuyao didn't know many people from the inner sect, only a few. Apart from Lan Lan, he also knew the senior sister who always came to her in the middle of the night to buy bigu pills, and junior brother Hao Bing in the senior sister's team.
"I wonder if Senior Sister is back?"
Cen Dongtao, the senior sister of the Qingyun Sect, is stationed in the Devil's Cave all year round and only comes back every Mid-Autumn Festival.
But since Lan Lan gave her a bottle of Bigu Pill refined in Yuyao, from then on, the senior sister would ask her for Bigu Pill every time she came back.
If Lan Lan runs out of stock, Senior Sister will come to her.
The senior sister is very nice, but she doesn't like to talk much, and she also obeys the rules, but she is a bit scary.
Every time Yuyao woke up from meditation, he would see a female nun in black sitting in his yard. She would not come into the room or disturb Yuyao, she would just stay there.
Yuyao wakes up at irregular times, but most of them wake up at night. If someone suddenly appears nearby in the middle of the night, everyone will be panicked, not to mention that the senior sister makes no sound every time she comes back.
.
Hmm... Senior Sister is also a swordsman... which is quite scary.
Yu Yao turned around and saw a female monk holding a sword on her back flashing past the alley beside the river.
Hey, why does that person look so much like Senior Sister?
Just as he was about to lift his leg, Yu Yao suddenly remembered that he was no longer in the sect and took it back.
No, we can't let the senior sister know that she is here, otherwise if Lan Lan comes, she won't be able to live peacefully for a few days.
After staying at the pavilion by the river for a while, the sky gradually became darker, and various lanterns began to be lit along the river.
Different regions have different customs for the Ghost Festival. Yuyao heard that Zhoushan City will put out a kind of lantern called Kongming Lantern during the Ghost Festival. The lanterns all over the sky are like a golden dragon flying in the starry sky, which is extremely bright.
There are many rivers in Dongshan Town, but there are mountains and forests nearby, so at night, lanterns are placed in the rivers. Most of the lanterns are shaped like lotus flowers.
At night, with the blessing of many lanterns, the riverside is as bright as day, and bustling people are coming out of restaurants and homes. After a while, the riverside is full of people.
"Come on, come on! Look, there's a cat lantern over there." Children ran all over the street carrying koi carps. Suddenly, there were many children with little horns in the market.
The little lady, who was still shy during the day, took off the curtain at night, and gathered a few friends by the river to pick out this lotus lantern and discuss the interesting things they met today.
The young men also put down the books, swords and guns that they usually kept in their hands, put on new clothes, and carried lanterns to meet their sweethearts under the trees along the river.
Yuyao just stayed by the river for a while before he was approached by several young men. Yuyao felt that he was not suitable for such a scene, so he returned to his new home early under the disappointed eyes of the young men.
The new house is right next to the river, but it is a place where residents live, and lights are not allowed. When Yuyao returned there, because the sea of lanterns had not reached its climax tonight, he could only look at the scattered lanterns that had fallen from the upper reaches.
Yuyao thought that it would be quite beautiful if the entire river was covered with lanterns.
When Yuyao was about to go back to the house, a familiar girl's voice came from the wall next door to Yuyao, "Sister Ye, let's go see the lanterns too!"
"Come on, come on! Daddy said that the lanterns only happen once a year. I have brought a lot of people who know how to fight. This time no one will try to steal immortality! I promise, I promise!"
The sound of children playing and rolling next door rang very clearly in Yuyao's ears. After listening for a long time, Yuyao became a little curious. Between looking and not looking, she couldn't help but let out her spiritual consciousness.
The first thing that caught Yu Yao's eyes was the little girl named Tang Youyou whom he saw during the day. The way she begged the beautiful young lady Ye looked very much like she had just finished practicing Dango, and all her juniors were looking at her eagerly.
appearance.
Most likely he will be soft-hearted, right?
Sure enough, not long after, Yuyao heard the door next door open, and the little girl who was laughing so hard that her mouth almost flew to the sky, pulled the ignorant and curious child named Changsheng out of the house.
Tang Youyou urged the boy, "Go quickly, go quickly! Otherwise, my sister will regret it later! The big fish are about to jump over the dragon's gate. If we grab the big fish, we can catch the Cat God!"
Big fish lantern? Cat god?
When Yuyao heard this, he thought of the chubby cat boy and the alley where he lived now, which was also called Mao'er Lane.
Compared to ignorant spiritual beings, demons that are as intelligent and lively as humans do not often come out of the Demon Mountain. Most of the spirits that can be seen in the mortal world are still ignorant.
Newly born spiritual beings have no special abilities other than to charm mortals. People with a little bit of cultivation can see through them.
The child happily took his friends to the market. Yuyao wanted to follow him, but suddenly he felt something was not right. Looking around, he noticed something unusual.
She vaguely remembered that when she came out of this alley, there seemed to be two stone lions near the bridge. Why were they missing?
Yu Yao looked across the bridge and glanced at the fat cat that was supposed to be hanging on the bridge. He found that the water vapor on the bridge where it was was was heavy, causing the bridge to be foggy.
Yuyao put her spiritual consciousness in and found that the kitten was no longer visible, and there was only an empty stone shell left on the pillar.
Whenever there is a happy event in the world, the newborn spirits will leave the place where they were born out of curiosity and gather together to join in the fun. However, most of their lively time is in the dead of night. This is the first time that Yuyao has seen such bold people before it is late at night.
Spiritual things that come out.
Where Yuyao hadn't noticed yet, a chubby but nimble little cat cub, holding an equally chubby koi in its mouth, was jumping quickly on the roof of the bustling market.
Behind the little fat cat was an illusory white bird. The white bird flapped its wings hard and glided through the night sky under the moonlight, which was as bright as a mirror.
Because the spirit bodies of the spiritual creatures were not condensed enough, a lot of spiritual energy leaked out as they moved forward, adding a bit of haziness to the night sky.
In the corners invisible to mortals, various small spiritual beings break away from the shackles of their true bodies and sneakily walk in the streets and alleys.
Under the detection range of Yuyao's consciousness, she saw the two little stone lions with tiger heads at the door, carefully leaning against the corner and passing through the shadow of the crowd, and quickly ran in the direction of the little fat cat.
There are also people in the market who are not cultivators. They are also curious about these spiritual creatures. The younger ones will drag their friends to follow them, but they are always stopped by their elders.
Young children should not come into contact with spiritual objects too early. The yin energy of these spiritual objects is too strong, and children's souls are not as stable as adults, and they can easily be scared out of their bodies.
Although there are many monsters in the mountains, there are also many in the city, such as the little lions at the bridge. When the little monsters see the empty shells that are out of their bodies, they will inevitably lose control of their instincts and want to get in.
The bodies of humans and monks are very attractive to these incorporeal spiritual beings or can only be imprisoned in one place.
