Ruo Tuo Ren Zhuli of the Original God

Chapter 236 Night Lantern
Different from the bustling Liyue Port, in a newly built temple at night, only two people can be vaguely seen standing outside the temple looking at Liyue Port. the sadness.

"Tongque, now that you have incense offerings from mortals, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the status quo. Do you want me to take a sliver of your mana to see the current Liyue Port?"

Staring at the densely packed night lanterns slowly rising in the sky, the one who spoke was the demon-conquering great sage Mandrill who made Hutao run away. At this time, Mandrill still had no expression on his face, but his tone of voice was much softer.

Thinking about it, the current Yasha is dead and missing, and now Tongque's condition has finally stabilized. To have an old friend with him, Mandrill is naturally happy.

"Great Sage, that junior named Yan Xiao and I have already made an appointment to listen to me tell some stories about ghosts. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Liyue Port with you."

"But after I finish telling the story for Yan Xiao, I think I should be able to go with you, Dasheng, to see the prosperity of Liyue Port today."

As early as a few days ago, Tongque had agreed with Yan Xiao who built the temple for him. On the day of the Sea Lantern Festival, he would tell Yan Xiao a story. Although he was just a fairy, Tongque would naturally abide by what he promised. No matter how tempting Mandrill's proposal is, it can only be postponed until tomorrow.

Tongque's explanation made Mandrill nod his head, Yanxiao knew that the almond tofu made by the chef of Wangshu Inn was delicious, since Tongque had agreed to Yanxiao, Mandrill would naturally not let Tongque break the appointment. After Sparrow made an appointment to meet tomorrow, Mandrill left behind a lantern and disappeared in front of Tongque's temple in a gust of wind.

Although the Bronze Sparrow can survive in this way, the soul of the current Bronze Sparrow is still too weak. In addition to wanting the Bronze Sparrow to rest, today's Mandrill has another important thing to do, That is to clean up the monsters near Liyue Port.

The Sea Lantern Festival is a festival celebrated by mortals. On this day, Mandrill does not want to see monsters attacking mortals. Even if it is the Qianyan Army that is responsible for guarding the safety of Liyue Port, Mandrill does not want to see them injured on this day.

In order to let everyone in Liyue Port have a wonderful Sea Lantern Festival, Mandrill will guard the vicinity of Liyue Port every year during the Sea Lantern Festival. Whenever there are monsters approaching Liyue Port, Mandrill will take action to clean up these monsters immediately. .

In Bu Bu Lu, Bai Shu, who is not idle and has nothing to do, suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon on this year's Sea Lantern Festival. With such a large population in Liyue, people are usually attacked by monsters and sent to Bu Bu Lu every day.

But since he opened Bubulu, on the day of the Sea Lantern Festival, he has not received a single person who was injured by a monster attack, which confused Bai Shu who didn't understand the reason.

"Changsheng, do you think the reason why no one was attacked by monsters today is because those heroic spirits are protecting the people of Liyue."

I can't figure out why with ordinary thinking, so Baishu subconsciously leans his thinking towards metaphysics. Although he is a doctor, he has seen ghosts and ghosts many times in Baishu where Liyue collects medicine. Besides, Qiqi and a zombie are beside him, so Bai Shu believes in the existence of these mysterious things.

"The people of Liyue believe that the meaning of the lamp is "May the fire be passed on, and the virtues will not be extinguished. They believe that the spirit of heroes will be passed down forever like the fire in the lamp. the warmest light of the people."

"Therefore, people in Liyue believe that the bright lanterns of Yehai will guide the souls of heroes who have passed away to return to their hometowns. The old man they loved and swore to protect. "

"This is the origin of the Sea Lantern Festival."

Bai Shu wondered in the Bu Bu Lu if he could see those heroic spirits cleaning up the monsters when he went out now, Ying and Paimeng, who were full of wine and food in the Hall of Rebirth, were listening to Zhong Li slowly explaining the origin of the Sea Lantern Festival. Compared with Ruojin's general introduction to the Sea Lantern Festival, the knowledgeable Zhongli gave a much more detailed explanation.

The knowledgeable Zhongli Weiying and Paimeng were popularizing the various aspects of the Lantern Festival, hearing the treatment of the heroes of Liyue, imagining that Paimeng, who was worshiped by a group of people, kicked his short legs excitedly in mid-air and yelled She wants to be a hero too.

"If my hall master remembers correctly, most of the heroes who have been commemorated have left this world."

Hu Tao's words directly stunned Paimon's words, yes, the heroes who commemorate seem to have left this world, so if she is regarded as a hero, wouldn't she also be dismissed.

"Okay, alright, Walnut, don't scare Paimon. Paimon's guts are smaller than pigeon eggs."

"And with me here, it's not Paimon's turn to be the hero. If there is any danger, I will definitely stand in front of you."

Knowing Paimeng's timidity, Ruojin, who took out many night lanterns from the Hall of Rebirth, also comforted Paimeng. The eyes of the lanterns placed around the ground shone with anticipation.

"Wow, Ruojin, you have made so many lanterns, can you give me one?"

"These lanterns were originally prepared for everyone, you can take whichever Paimon you like."

Ruojin waved his hand to signal Paimeng to choose whatever he wanted. He and Hutao made these lanterns together. Although they looked a bit abstract, they could fly without any problem.

Because he and Hu Tao had already experimented when they were young. After paying the price of almost setting the Hall of Death on fire, he and Hu Tao have successfully solved the problem of how the lanterns fly. .

"Wow, it's so kind of Ruojun, unlike Ying, who doesn't even buy me a night lantern."

Paimon cheered and at the same time did not forget to diss Ying, who was already squatting at the god's selection of night lanterns. Ying, who was criticized by Paimeng's name, turned black. The night lantern that Paimeng liked was priced at 30 moras. She just bought it. I bought a tiger fish knife as a spare weapon, and my pocket is cleaner than my face, how could I afford it.

Looking at Paimeng who kept complaining in front of Ruojin, Ying took a deep breath, and kept reminding herself that children should not be hit during the Sea Lantern Festival.

Hearing Paimon's accusation against Ying, Ruojin glanced at Ying subconsciously from the corner of his eye, and accidentally saw Ying's chest heaving violently, worried that Paimeng would be beaten tonight, Ruojin hurriedly interrupted Paimon's accusation against Ying.

"Well, it's almost twelve o'clock, everyone should get the lanterns and prepare to light them."

Every house in Liyue Harbor has a different time to put off lanterns, just like the Kejia used to put off lanterns at eight o’clock, the exorcist family where Chongyun belongs to always put off lanterns at nine o’clock, and Xiangshengtang is too special, so The time to light the lanterns in the Xiangsheng Hall is usually twelve o'clock.
