Chapter 131 Opening the Darkness at Night, the General Who Holds the Lantern (Fifth Change)

I smelled it habitually, and neither the person nor the dog smelled the fishy smell, but I also felt a little weird.

"My lord, something is wrong with this place."

"Although it's not right, it doesn't matter. Since we know that others are trying to stop us, we should simply see and see what they are capable of. You know, there have never been rules in this world. Only bad people and demons can do evil. Good people and gods can also do evil. , and turning good into evil is even more difficult for people to detect.”

The dog's head was crazy, and he thought it was right. Wang Jiexing thought that when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the Orange Raccoon Country, he often ate one or two sausages or ribs on the grounds of checking the rat problem in the kitchen.

Dogs are like this, how can people be embarrassed?How can a fairy be worthy?

"Why didn't you ask why you came this time?"

A little strange, Wei Hao asked while stroking Wang Jiexing's dog's head.

"I have experience."

"..."

well.

Good and evil are just a thought, if the boundary is so clear, the world will not be so complicated.

When we arrived under the tree at the head of Kaihui Village, a few old farmers were going to work in the fields with their hoes on their shoulders. When they saw Wei Hao, they hurriedly saluted: "I don't know who the Taiwei is looking for when he comes to Kaihui Village?"

"I'm passing through here, and I'll leave soon."

"The Taiwei came by coincidence. There is going to be a lantern festival in the local area. At night, it will be the first night view of the Five Lakes."

The so-called Five Lakes is another name for Shengyue Lake, not the Five Great Lakes.

"I grew up in a nearby county, how come I haven't heard of the Kaihui Village Lantern Festival?"

"So that the Taiwei will know that this Lantern Festival is not held at any time, it is not fixed on the date, regardless of the solar terms, just watch my son's words, if he says that there are distinguished guests coming, he will organize it; there is absolutely no such thing in leisure time Prepare, my young master mostly studies behind closed doors."

"Since he is a son, he is also a scholar."

"My ancestors are sheltered, and they have a calm temperament, but they are not keen on fame."

"It turns out that he is an expert hermit who hides from the world, so he is very polite..."

Wei Hao clasped his fists on his horse's back to salute, and the old farmer hurriedly returned the salute with his hoe in his arms, so please wait, Wei Hao passed the archway and found that the sky had changed.

When I came here just now, it was clearly in the morning, but when I entered the inside of the archway, it became evening.

Gouzi was very surprised when he saw it: "Gentleman, there must be a magic weapon here, which can cover the sun, moon and stars."

"Maybe it's just a big pot, and it's directly tied to a village?"

"Gentleman, whatever comes into your mouth is less interesting..."

It's rare to complain, Wei Hao rubbed its dog's head and smiled, "I forgot that your name is Zhaixing, and I'm breaking your taboo by saying that."

"Hey, it's getting dark here, maybe there will be a lantern festival soon."

As soon as the words fell, there were already lights up, really bright and beautiful.

All kinds of lanterns have images, whether it is flowers and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects, talented scholars and beautiful ladies, even elves and gods.

In addition, the lanterns of pavilions, pavilions and waterside gardens are also emerging in endlessly.

Wei Hao rode a horse, and after walking for a short distance, he could see winter from spring. These lanterns, even the scenery, are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is worthy of the saying of watching flowers on horseback.

"Huh? Look, my lord, that lamp."

Yingying also took the opportunity to show up, and sat cheekily in front of Wei Hao, thinking to lean back and let Wei Hao feel what it means to be soft and fragrant like jade.

It's a pity that Wei Hao was completely indifferent, and was actually looking at the scenery seriously.

Looking in the direction Yingying pointed, Wei Hao saw several paintings on a lamp. The characters in the paintings were vivid. It was a hero beating a fish monster with his bare hands.

That lamp is called "Wei Hao Eliminates Monsters".

It was Wei Hao.

"There's still a light there."

The horse continued to move forward slowly, and another lamp was raised, and there were also several paintings, besides Wei Hao, there was also an old turtle, and a peach blossom lake, which looked lifelike.

In this scene, under the two lamps, there are villagers who follow out to watch the lantern festival. Every family supports the old and the young. It is really happy and harmonious.

Women who are mothers often educate their children under the lamp.

A son who was scolding Duzui pointed to a lamp in front of him and said, "If you are disobedient again, Wei Hao will arrest you and beat your ass to pieces."

The child pursed his lips and wanted to cry, but he held back when he heard this, and then he was wronged and followed his mother away. The local hawker selling candied haws by the road looked regretful, and only sighed that he had lost a deal.

Another woman put her arms around her child under the last lamp and said, "Brother, when you grow up, you want to learn from Wei Xiucai, so our family is decent..."

The child held his finger in his mouth, his eyes were shining brightly, looking at the scene of Wei Hao forgiving the turtle, he yearned for it very much.

"Gentleman, you have become a living fable."

"I'm still the King of Hades."

"..."

unlucky!

Still watching the lantern festival.

Regardless of the tricks, if you don't look at the beautiful scenery for nothing, if you are about to harm people, you will show up sooner or later.

Not long after, he smelled sandalwood, and there was the sound of conch shells, and seeing various laymen holding dharma instruments and chanting scriptures, Wei Hao followed the movement and saw that it was another lantern.

It is directly the Lingshan made of paper, the Buddha made of lamps, a few Bodhisattvas hooped by willow sticks, two rows of arhats made of bamboo strips, and incense candles are lit. It is really magnificent and can be called a holy place for Buddhism in the village.

When there was a big commotion here, the villagers stood by the road and called "Young Master" very respectfully, and Wei Hao knew that this must be a local landlord.

Even if he is not, he is still a young landlord.

I saw a person wearing plain brocade and riding a lantern horse under his crotch. That horse is also a steed, with four hooves that can move and a tail that can be swung, as if it is different from the real one.

That person's face was as white as jade, with sand between his brows, and his demeanor was not inferior to that of Bai Chen's, but he had a lot more aura of Buddhism.

Wei Hao guessed that it was probably related to that mysterious guest again.

Don't need to think too much, it must be for yourself.

The local young master didn't hide it, he came up to him on a lantern horse, and then slightly bowed and saluted: "Xiaosheng is open at night, I have met Wei Chixia, so be polite."

Meeting at night?
Can't it be during the day?
"This... Wei should be called Brother Ye? Or Brother Yeli?"

"Xiaosheng's surname is 'Ye Li', and his ancestors are lay Buddhists of the Shimen. Now he is hiding here, originally to isolate himself from the outside world. He only asked to come here for some reason. He wanted to stop Wei Chixia from going, but he couldn't evade it, so he had to stay for a while."

"How are you going to keep me?"

Wei Hao smiled, looked at the other side and asked.

The young man was also unrestrained, pointing to the lights along the way, "If you enter this place, you can't get out until you see the lights of Wanjia."

"It's a good magic weapon for trapping people."

"How do you know it's not a formation?"

"If it's a formation, I can break the magic power of the formation by stomping down on it."

"Wei Chixia is brave, Xiaosheng admires him."

"Aren't you going to fight?"

"Xiaosheng is not good at fighting, if he competes with Wei Chixia, wouldn't it be hitting a stone with an egg?"

"Hahaha, good!"

Wei Hao admired him a lot, and felt that the guy in front of him had a really good personality and a good temper.

It is completely different from the sand sculpture of Xiaobailong.

"I see that you are wearing a square scarf, and you are also a scholar. Could it be that you are a counselor for others?"

"Haha, Wei Chixia's guess was wrong. Although Xiaosheng is good at reading, his ancestors are the 'generals in charge of lamps' of Shimen. Speaking of it, he is also a military officer."

"No wonder it's called Kaihui..."

Wei Hao was stunned, and only then did he realize that the so-called "opening the darkness" means lighting a lamp at night to expel the darkness?

Therefore, Wei Hao guessed what kind of ghost the other party was, and said, "I'm in a hurry, and when I have time later, I must invite my friends to come and enjoy the lantern festival together."

"Ah, according to what Wei Chixia said, I already know how to quickly see the lights of thousands of houses?!"

Ye Li Kaihui was very surprised, his eyes were somewhat disbelieving.

However, Wei Hao said with a smile: "Brother Yeli, you may not know that besides being a scholar, I am also a farmer. How can I not know when the lights are turned off?"

After saying that, Wei Hao patted the dog's head in his arms: "Xiao Wang, you have to work hard. Weijiawan crowing cock, you are a good learner."

"Oh oh oh~~~"

Seeing Wang Jiexing looking up at the dog's head, a cock crowed.

"Oh oh oh~~~"

"Oh oh oh~~~"

Called three times, and only three times, the entire Kaihui Village was originally still lit by thousands of lights, but soon there were voices from every household urging to turn off the lights.

"The rooster has crowed three times, and the lights are still on at dawn?!"

"You prodigal mother-in-law, quickly put out the candles, the cocks are crowing."

"The rooster crows three times, children, turn off the lights and go to bed..."

There was a sound of yelling, and the lights of the houses were dimmed. The scene was indeed a grand scene.

At night, Kaihui expressed admiration, and bowed his hands again and again: "I, the 'Lamp Handling General', only have this little ability. Xiaosheng respectfully sends Wei Chixia..."

His voice was weak, his figure was dim, and after a while, the whole sky was bright again. Looking again, there was no village lantern festival, but it was just a dilapidated ruin.
