The best immortal emperor

Chapter 2409 Ghost City
"Back to Shangxian, today is the annual Lantern Festival in the city, Miss Qingxue asked the maids to go out to play." The maid replied.

"Oh? Lantern Festival?" Li Ming was taken aback.

In the past, in China, one or another lantern festival would be held in every place during the Lantern Festival every year. I didn't expect that Kangyuan City also had this custom.

After a slight pause, Li Ming said, "Okay, go and do your work."

"Yes, Shangxian." The servant girl nodded in response, and then withdrew.

Li Ming went out of the yard and came to the street.

However, it was found that the street was extremely deserted.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help being taken aback, and said in surprise: "Didn't you say the Lantern Festival? Why is there no one on the street?"

Suspicious, Li Ming released his sense of immortality.

Immortal consciousness covered the entire Kangyuan City, and Li Ming discovered that the Lantern Festival was held in the east of the city. No wonder there was no one on the street in the south of the city.

Afterwards, Li Ming strolled towards the east of the city.

The east of the city is very lively, with lights and festoons on both sides of the street, and crowds of pedestrians on the road.

At this time, Li Ming couldn't help thinking of the Great Qin Dynasty in the cultivation world.

Li Ming vaguely remembered that when the Lantern Festival was held in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, he had written "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" for Situ Jianren. In the end, Situ Jianren won the first place in the Poetry and Song Fu Conference with this word, and it aroused Qin Yue's attention. attention.

It's a pity that Qin Yue didn't have any intentions for Situ Jianren, and she already had Li Ming in her heart, so that Situ Jianren turned against Li Ming in the end.

Thinking of these past events, Li Ming sighed unceasingly, as if everything happened yesterday, vividly in his memory.

"Guess the lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles, there will be prizes for guessing."

A peddler yelled along the street.

A group of children gathered around and shouted, "I want to guess, I want to guess."

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but look more curiously.

I saw the peddler pointing to the small paper balls hanging on the flags. The small paper balls were folded in a square shape and tied by a red thread, and they would flutter when the wind blows.

I only heard the peddler say: "You can pick whichever you want to guess, one thousand fairy stones at a time."

"Here, a thousand fairy stones." A child took out a thousand fairy stones.

"Okay! You choose." The peddler said.

The little boy stared at the small balls of paper hanging on the streamers for a while, then pointed to one and said, "I guess that."

"Yes." The peddler replied, and then took off the small ball of paper.

The child reached out to take it, and after opening the ball of paper, Yiyi murmured softly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, playing idioms."

I saw the little boy frowning tightly, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

"Is there any more lantern riddles to guess?" the peddler continued to shout.

"I want, I want..." another little girl called out.

Li Ming watched from a distance, always felt that something was wrong with this peddler and the group of children, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

After a slight pause, Li Ming shook his head and continued to walk forward.

However, after walking a few steps, Li Ming couldn't help frowning, because he actually felt a trace of the ghostly aura that only the underworld can have.

Seeing this, Li Ming's eyebrows froze for a moment, and he thought to himself, "What's going on?"

Immediately, Li Ming concentrated his eyes and looked carefully.

After checking this, Li Ming was really startled. What kind of lantern festival is this? It's clearly a ghost market.

And the hawkers and children who guessed the lantern riddles just now were all souls.

However, their souls are very solid, unlike ordinary dead souls.

After a while, Li Ming quickly calmed down. He could even go to the underworld, so he was afraid of a ghost market?
However, Li Ming was very surprised, how could there be such a ghost market in Kangyuan City?
However, at this time, Li Ming saw an acquaintance at the end of the street.

It was none other than Instructor He of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help walking over.

At this time, Coach He also saw Li Ming, and couldn't help but greeted with a smile: "Li Xianyou, are you coming to this lantern festival too?"

Hearing this, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little surprised. Could it be that Coach He couldn't see that this was a ghost market?
It shouldn't be!Instructor He is an existence in Xuanxian Realm, even he can see it, how can he not see it?
Coach He saw Li Ming's thoughts, and couldn't help but said: "Li Xianyou, we will wait until today. If you are not used to this lantern festival, you can go back first."

"It's not that I'm not used to it, I just find it strange." Li Ming murmured.

Hearing this, Teacher He smiled and said: "It's nothing strange, this is our annual custom in Kangyuan City."

"Oh." Li Ming responded and nodded slightly.

After a slight pause, Li Ming continued to ask: "Coach He, have you ever seen my sister?"

"Miss Qingxue is setting up lanterns by the river." Instructor He replied.

"Oh, I'll go find her." Li Ming nodded and said.

Afterwards, Li Ming went to the river.

Sure enough, Qing Xueluo was setting up lanterns by the river.

There are many other people setting off lanterns by the river, no, to be precise, they are all ghosts.

In addition, the colors of these lanterns are also rather strange.

Normal lanterns are usually red, pink, and white, but their hands are all black.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but frowned.

After a slight pause, I heard Li Ming shout softly: "Qingxue."

Qing Xueluo couldn't help turning her head when she heard someone calling her.

Seeing that it was Li Ming, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you here too?"

Li Ming nodded, and said: "I just finished retreat, and I heard the maid said that you all came out to catch the lantern festival, so I came here out of curiosity, but this lantern festival..."

Having said this, Li Ming couldn't help but pause slightly.

Wen Qing Xueluo said: "I know, I will explain it to you later."

Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but frowned. He said that just now, but Qing Xueluo said the same now.

However, they must have their reasons for saying this.

Li Ming nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about it after today."

Li Ming accompanied Qing Xueluo to put up lanterns by the river, and before he knew it, the sky was getting dark, and the lantern festival was about to reach its climax.

Li Ming found that those "pedestrians" on the street were particularly festive, as if there was a happy event.

I only heard Qing Xueluo said: "Today is the day when the city lord Kang Yuan welcomes his relatives, that's why everyone celebrates so much."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but pause, is he welcoming his relatives today?

"Let's go, City Lord Kang Yuan has already set up a banquet at Yuexian Building in Dongcheng, let's go get a cup of wedding wine too." Qing Xueluo said with a smile.

"This..." Li Ming hesitated for a moment.

"Let's go, there will be no seats if you go late." Qing Xueluo urged.

Li Ming frowned slightly, not knowing what to say, so he could only go with Qing Xueluo.

The Yuexian Restaurant in Dongcheng is very large, with a total of seventeen floors, and each floor can accommodate [-] guests.

When Li Ming and Qing Xueluo arrived, the ten floors below were already full of people.

No, it's full of ghosts.

When I came to the eleventh floor, I gradually saw a fairy.

Originally, Li Ming and Qing Xueluo were going to find a random place to sit down. Suddenly, Coach He came over and invited, "Miss Qingxue, Li Xianyou, the city lord invites you to sit down."

Hearing this, Qing Xueluo nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead."

"This way please." Instructor He said.

Afterwards, Li Ming and Qing Xueluo followed Coach He to the top floor.
