Six, five, seven, the night is full of stars, and the wine is full of flowers
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is very lively.
Meng Shuai never thought that there were so many people in the northern world, and there were so many people here that reminded him of tourist attractions during his previous life.
Moreover, in terms of exquisite layout and brilliant lighting, it is not inferior to the neon lights in the metropolis in previous lives.
The northern world is always long and the day is short, and it is even more so as the end of the year. Just when the sky turned dark, the lights became bright. The trees, walls, and open spaces were filled with lights. The more distinctive ice and snow lamps in the northern world, the highest ice lamp is dozens of feet high, and hundreds of lights were lit on it. From a distance, it looks like a skyscraper full of lights.
In addition to lighting, there are snacks and riddles. There are riddle strips hanging under various colors of lanterns. If you guess, you can win the prize. Food stalls on the street are one after another, and the prices are incredibly cheap. A copper plate can be eaten with a large bowl of spicy mutton soup, which is all subsidy for Daxue Villa.
Meng Shuai was quick-witted. He was a master at riddle guessing at school. He also added a lot of IQ when he came to this world. Therefore, he was able to guess riddles with ease. He ate along the street, guessed all the way, and won prizes all the way. He was simply happy. If he hadn't happened to meet Zhu Shuang who was rushing to the venue, he would have almost delayed his martial arts skills.
Zhu Stork was not alone, there was another girl beside him, who was in his twenties. Although she was not as handsome as Zhu Stork, she was also beautiful and charming.
Meng Shuai hurried to the venue with them. Zhu Shuang introduced on the way: "This is Jiao Yushu, the second lady from Daxue Villa."
Meng Shuai had seen Li, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder if there is a girl Yan Yingyan in Guizhuang? I have something to look for her."
Jiao Yushu pondered for a moment and changed color and said, "Is it the girl from the Yan family? She has been missing for a long time."
Meng Shuai said in surprise: "Why is it missing?"
Jiao Yushu frowned and said, "It's not nice to say. The daughter of the Yan family seemed to have had sex with someone outside. The two became a couple with dew and had a secret marriage. Later, the man had somehow abandoned her or left without saying goodbye. The girl couldn't think of it. She left the house with her belly straight on the snowy day and never came back.
Meng Shuai was very depressed when he heard this and shook his head. This kind of thing has happened throughout the ages and the gods are helpless. But he was entrusted by others, but he could not complete it.
Zhu Stork raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you find out? Which family is the mess? Is it mysterious?"
Meng Shuai was stunned. Why did he pull out Xuan Che?
Jiao Yushu said: "It's really not him. Although it's not surprising that he is. However, the beast should be from outside. According to the wife of the Yan family, she came from the east. I don't know if she was from Yiyuan Wanfa Sect."
Zhu Xianyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it him?"
Meng Shuai knew who Zhu Xianyuan thought of, but he didn't think it was certain. After all, time didn't match. Fan Zhenzong was not a patient person at first sight. Since he came to the north to challenge, he had just picked Zhu Stork's head, but it was obvious that the girl was pregnant, and it was obvious that she had been pregnant for at least a few months, and the two were not in line.
However, even if it is not one person, since they may be from the One Yuan Wanfa Sect, there may be clues to ask.
Zhu Xianyuan murmured, "If it were him, I would beat him to death and avenge our girls from the north."
Meng Shuai didn't say anything. His impression of Fan Zhenzong and the One Yuan Wanfa Sect was extremely poor, and he killed one less.
When I arrived at the central venue of Daxue Villa, I saw the lights brilliantly, like a sea of stars. Circles of colorful lights surrounded a large field. The circles of the ring in the middle were lanterns. Most of the paintings on the lanterns were scenes of martial artists practicing martial arts. The lights turned, and the villain on the lampshade punched and kicked, like a living thing. Just looking at that circle of lights, it would be worth it.
The ring in the middle is also strange. It was built with wooden boards on dozens of wine tanks buried underground. The wine tank on the edge was half covered by the ring board, and half was still open, revealing amber wine. Under the lights of various colors, the wine was charming and the fragrance was everywhere. I stayed in the venue for a while and it was already soaked.
This venue conveys today's theme very well, one is the lamp and the other is the wine.
No matter the lights and wine, it creates an atmosphere of indulgence and endless fun. With such anger, the solemn atmosphere of martial arts competition was diluted. Obviously, at this time, we attach more importance to the atmosphere of gathering friends through martial arts.
The tone of this competition can also be seen from the arrangement of seats. Except for the owners of the eight villas, there are seats, everyone else sits below, very close to the position, surrounding the stands in circles, and there are no blind spots in all directions. Braziers are installed in all corners, and the barbecue on the brazier is creaking and oil is creaking. I remember the smell of alcohol mixed, and the aura of passionate carnival is woven.
When Meng Shuai saw this scene, he was stunned. He was stuffed with a bowl of wine and a handful of barbecue. He sat down in the crowd. He heard the drums and music in the distance and the melodious flute. He couldn't help but think: What kind of martial arts are there in this atmosphere? Why not dance together and hold a bonfire party? Even if you hold an unobstructed conference... the paired dance party is more in tune with the atmosphere.
Zhu Stork and Jiao Yushu sat down beside him and said, "Even though eating and drinking, there are performances in front and fighting wine. Only when the wine comes back can you learn martial arts."
Meng Shuai said: "I'm afraid that my legs will become weak and I can't beat you."
Zhu Stork laughed and said, "How could it be? Our warriors in the north have the strength to drink alcohol. The more they drink, the more they can fight."
Meng Shuai was infected by the atmosphere and drank a bowl of wine. He immediately felt anger rising from his belly and shouted, "Good wine." Then he saw Zhu Stork drinking the strong wine, his cheeks were dizzy, his heroic spirit remained undiminished, but his charming daughter became more angry.
After a while, more people came. A full moon hung high in the sky, the moonlight was like water, and countless colorful lights on the ground shone together, comparing the moonlight with the starlight in the sky. The atmosphere in the field was higher and higher than the waves. Some people began to sing, while others left the seat and danced around and jumped to someone. Without saying anything, they first toast a bowl of wine, and sometimes they pulled the other party into the team, sang and danced together, and moved forward.
After a long time, I heard a few sounds, and a few fireworks hit the sky, making a large number of fireworks, dazzling. This is not only a climax of the cocktail party, but also a node.
Sure enough, after the brilliant fireworks, Jiao Nanshan stood up and said, "Everyone. Today is the Chinese New Year Festival, everyone is having fun. Food and drink are of great importance, but don't forget, what is the foundation of my eight villas?"
The audience said loudly: "It's martial arts"
Jiao Nanshan smiled and said, "Yes, it is the martial arts. The martial arts are the foundation of our base in the north. The vast snowy mountains and endless wilderness beasts. If we had not practiced martial arts and strengthened our bodies, how could we stand in the snowy field, not falling for a thousand years and reproduction from generation to generation? Even if we are happy for a while, don't forget our foundation. Therefore, the finale of our annual Shangyuan party is..."
Everyone cheered loudly, "You can do martial arts with your hands when you are standing up." He shouted with a loud voice: "I can't wait long ago." There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Jiao Nanshan smiled and said, "Go to the lottery."
Eight big men came out carrying a huge stretcher. The stretcher was filled with various items, about three meters high, just like a hill. Meng Shuai looked carefully and found that there were various weapons, fur, jewelry, and medicinal materials. In short, they were all good things that were hard to buy at ordinary times, but they were piled up like they didn't have money.
With a bang, the stretcher fell, shaking the ground. The sound of metal friction was jingling and endless.
Jiao Nanshan pointed to the hill and said, "There are always a lottery game that requires a lottery. You can play martial arts with lights, and of course it is no exception. In previous years, the first batch of lottery tickets were released in the villa. This year it was our turn to Daxue Villa, which was only ten times more abundant than in previous years. These are just the first wave, and there are still some things behind it. As long as you go on stage, no matter what you win or lose, you must get something."
Everyone applauded, Meng Shuai glanced at it. Judging from his seal master's eyes, the weapons in this hill were all under nine levels of seal, so they were naturally not the final prize. For warriors above the innate, these things are not precious, but for ordinary warriors, they are also amazing things.
Jiao Nanshan smiled and said, "Huiwu also ate sugarcane, and the more he eats, the sweeter he gets. The real good show is at the end. Our Daxue Villa organized a group of children to come out to warm the venue, come--"
He heard the sound of drums and trumpets, and dozens of children came to the stage. These children were dressed up in a strong outfit and were dressed up. They lined up neatly and were full of energy, so they first performed boxing.
Meng Shuai looked around and saw that these children were only fourteen or five years old. They were all fourteen or five years old. They were all with their energy, which means they all entered the Vajra realm. They couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it was the five worlds, and their martial arts level was far from comparable to the Great Wilderness. If they were in the Great Wilderness and entered the Vajra realm at this age, they would be one of the best geniuses and should be presented by the great sects as treasures. However, they were the most ordinary here, and they gathered together to perform on stage.
After a boxing trip, Jiao Nanshan cheered, laughed and said, "The boys are in good spirits. Go to the pile to pick something."
The children hugged their fists and thanked them, and came to Baoshan to select prizes. Dozens of people took them, but Baoshan felt like they had lost a little, but it did not look like they had lost it.
Jiao Nanshan smiled and said, "Now is the time to challenge freely. Anyone who is willing to come up can get a prize, win one game, and get another one until it is finished."
Now a warrior came on stage to perform martial arts. Once one went up, a challenger challenged him to decide the winner, the winner stayed, and the loser went down, the process went like flowing water. There was only one pair on the stage at the beginning, and later several pairs competed at the same time. The audience in the audience each chose their own interests, cheered up and cheered up.
But no matter how lively the stage is, the competition is full of warriors below the natural world. Innate warriors pride themselves on their own and do not come on stage. It is obvious that the level of lottery on the stage is not prepared for them.
After Baoshan was almost empty, the moon took another journey. Jiao Nanshan smiled and said, "It's time to get to the point. The boys who are guarding the same realm compete. In the last session, we decided on the top ten young heroes. However, there are two, Xuan Che and Zhu Xianyuan have been promoted in recent years, so they will no longer be listed. The other eight people will come to the stage."
Eight people came up one after another on the stage. Meng Shuai glanced at him and saw that most of them were young people. Even if they were not as good as goshawks, the red stork was also extraordinary. The eight people lined up in a row, and their momentum was imposing.
