Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 857 So that’s it
Although the scale of Yaci and Chanqin's wedding banquet was small, the standard was very high.

There was no lengthy ritual. The festive feeling of worshiping heaven and earth was enough. After that, Yi Shuyuan and Yuan Zhaoning showed off their cooking skills. Old Man Mo also joined in. As for the ingredients, everything was available and even if there was something missing, it could be obtained quickly.

Not to mention wine, the Great Toad King is a master in wine making, which is why there is no such ranking, otherwise he would definitely be among the best in the Three Realms.

As the only two mortals at the banquet, Yuan Zhaoning and Mo Yiming were able to clink glasses with the immortals and have a real dragon pour wine for them. I'm afraid no one will believe it if they tell others about it in the future.

"Come on, brother, I'll toast you another glass."

Mo Yiming poured more wine for Yuan Zhaoning, but the latter refused and clinked glasses with him.

"Hey please~"

"Today is the second day of August. It is the time when the lanterns in Mingzhou are lit. The men and women by the waterside are lighting lanterns. It must be very beautiful!"

Hui Mian jumped to their table and grabbed a chicken wing with his claws. Yes, Hui Mian did not sit down in his human form. He found that his human form could indeed occupy a seat, but his mink form could run around on the table and eat, which was more convenient.

Then Huimian, who was eating chicken wings, did not forget to say something.

"You two are already so old and still talking about lanterns!"

"We have to talk about this, it's unforgettable. You don't know that when Shi Sheng was born, the whole sky of Mingzhou City was full of fireflies."

There were only two tables of wine, and Mo Yiming became the most talkative person at the two tables. When he talked about the past, he was very excited despite his old age. It was very appropriate to talk about the second day of the eighth lunar month in Mingzhou on a wedding day.

The Great Toad King stood up and walked to Mo Yiming, using the thousand-dou pot in his hand to refill the old man's cup.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Mo. I really want to hear it."

"Hahahaha, sure!"

Mr. Mo has seen Mingzhou many days and nights over the years, but people don't just listen to him telling stories about him, his wife, and Mingzhou.

The Great Toad King sat back in his seat and glanced at Zhuo Qing out of the corner of his eyes. Although Zhuo Qing looked 70% like Mi Li, her temperament was very different. He could only sigh in his heart.

Zhuo Qing seemed a little absent-minded. She had also stayed in Mingzhou for a while and even chose to live in her master's old house. She had seen fireflies among the weeds, but it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like to have fireflies all over the city.

Yaci and Chanqin leaned against each other, occasionally looking at each other and smiling.

Qi Zhongbin held the cup but did not drink it for a long time. His thoughts seemed to have returned to Mingzhou.
Even Shi Sheng would occasionally steal a glance at Du Xiaolin, but the latter would just hold her chin and look up at the bright moon.
Even Yan Bo was somewhat absent-minded. I don't know if it was because he had a lover in the past, or if he was thinking about the family reunion that Mr. Mo mentioned.

In this kind of atmosphere, perhaps Hui Mian was the only one who was eating hard.

Yi Shuyuan glanced at everyone. In this world, the most profound thing is love.

Far away in Mingzhou, there is a Zhenjun Temple on the riverside outside the city. A divine light appears between the eyebrows of the statue of Xiansheng Zhenjun. This light penetrates the temple and illuminates Mingzhou City beyond the naked eye.

In Hele Mountain, Yi Shuyuan dropped his sleeves, and the "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States" slipped out of his sleeves and unfolded silently.

When everyone noticed it, the painting had already unfolded around them, but it seemed to be gradually fading away with Leshan, and the night scene of Mingzhou Ancient City slowly emerged around them.

The two banquet tables where everyone was sitting seemed to be carried by a boat made of light mist, moving close to the ground in Mingzhou City. They saw the Mingzhou Temple Lantern Festival, the bright lights tonight, and the young men and women on both sides of the river in the city, either releasing lanterns or holding poles, which was lively and full of youthful atmosphere.
"Hey? Are we going back to Mingzhou?"

Mo Yiming cried out in surprise, while Shi Sheng, who was sitting on the other side of him, laughed.

"Dad, that was a spell cast by the master, it was just an illusion of Mingzhou!"

Mo Yiming looked at Yi Shuyuan, as if he remembered something.

"Back then, Firefly was also a method used by Master, right? Can you let me see it again?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Mo Yiming with eagerness, and also glanced at the other people around him, all of whom were more or less expectant.

"That's it!"

At this time, the wine table supported by the clouds and mist moved to the side of the Hefeng Bridge. The moment Yi Shuyuan thought about it, fireflies from all over Mingzhou City and outside had already taken off into the sky. At this moment, the sky above Mingzhou City was once again filled with fireflies!

Not only the people at the two tables at the wedding banquet looked up, but even in Mingzhou City thousands of miles away, countless people, men and women, young and old, also looked up in surprise.

The Mingzhou Chronicles once recorded the flying fireflies in the sky, but that was a long, long time ago.
"Go home, go home, it's time to go home, Wanrong is about to give birth, Shisheng is about to be born."

Mo Yiming looked at the fireflies in the sky, muttered blankly, then stood up, left the table and rushed home.

Shi Sheng was startled and quickly stood up to grab his father.

"Dad, Dad - we are not in Mingzhou, all this is an illusion, the child is here -"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Yuan Zhaoning stretched out his hand to grab Mo Yiming who was leaving nearby, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he found that he had grabbed nothing. Mo Yiming's paper body had collapsed at this moment, and he had quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, running on the streets of Mingzhou, heading towards Nianxiang's home.

At the banquet, Shi Sheng also saw this scene, and his expression changed slightly. "Master, Long Jun and everyone else, Shi Sheng has to take his leave first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else to respond, Shi Sheng jumped up, and flames burst out from under his feet in an instant. The moment the Fire Wheels appeared, they carried its owner and turned into two lines of fire and disappeared into the horizon.

Qi Zhongbin also stood up subconsciously at this moment, and so did Du Xiaolin and Zhuo Qing. Most of the guests at the table were moved.

"Let's go take a look too!"

Yaci exhaled a mirage of air, as if he wanted to take everyone to Mingzhou together, but Yi Shuyuan spoke.

"No need to come in person, and no need to disturb us. Just close your eyes and I will lead you to a place where you can relax and enjoy the scenery!"

While speaking, Yi Shuyuan had already closed his eyes. Qi Zhongbin beside him also sat down and closed his eyes, which also influenced others to do similar things.

At this moment, the eye of the devil appeared on one side of Yi Shuyuan's folding fan, and the body of the True Lord Xiansheng also appeared faintly in the Demon-Suppressing Palace in the Jiuxiao Heavenly Realm.

A gust of wind from the folding fan swept past, and everyone felt as if their souls had left their bodies, and they seemed to be suddenly sucked up to the sky by the wind, and then thrown up by a great force that could hold up the sky.

When they were awake, they seemed to have sleepwalked to Mingzhou. The scenery was exactly the same as what they had seen in Leshan before. When they looked up again, there were still fireflies all over the sky!

"Mr. Mo is there!"

Hui Mian shouted, attracting everyone's attention, and then they saw a figure running towards the river in the distance.

The moment the paper body was shattered, with his special spiritual power, Mo Yiming had returned to Mingzhou in an instant, but the moment his spiritual power returned, he started running from the Hefeng Bridge where Yi Shuyuan appeared.

At this moment, Mo Yiming was running quickly in small steps. The lantern festival in Mingzhou City was in full swing, but many people on the street were looking up at the sky. He also looked up again and saw the sky full of fireflies.

"Who said it was an illusion? Isn't it real?!"

Although Mo Yiming seemed to be jogging, he was actually very fast. He covered half of Mingzhou City in just a few breaths and reached the outside of Mo Mansion. He returned to his body the moment he entered Mo Mansion.

All of a sudden, the old man woke up from the bed, reached out to lift the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Wanrong, Wanrong is about to give birth, Shisheng is about to be born. Oh, my legs, why can't I move them? Someone, come, come."

Tonight is the second day of August, and many people from the Mo family have gone out to the streets to watch the lanterns. The appearance of fireflies all over the sky has made most of them go out to watch, and most of the remaining servants in the Mo family also gathered in the front yard to enjoy this rare spectacle.

Before Shi Sheng left, he told his father that he would probably sleep for two to three days, so Mo Congxian arranged two servants to look after the old man. Unfortunately, due to the special circumstances tonight, they were not near the old man's bedroom. After all, the old man would sleep for two or three days and it was impossible for him to wake up tonight.

Mo Yiming called out a few times but got no response, so he could only struggle to get up. However, it was summer and the weather was not cold, so he was anxious and did not even put on any clothes.

He fumbled to get up, put on a piece of clothing beside the bed, and walked tremblingly to the door.

"Wanrong, Wanrong"

With a "creak", the old man opened the door and then walked out hurriedly. He walked out of the eaves of the porch, walked past the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, and looked up at the sky full of fireflies.

As he walked, Mo Yiming's pace slowed down. He seemed to have some doubts. He looked at the road in front of him, then looked back, and then he was stunned.

It turned out that the room he had walked out of was Wanrong's delivery room.
What about Wanrong? What about Shisheng? What about my mother?
Mo Yiming slowly turned around and walked to the thick and tall osmanthus tree. He put his hand on the tree and looked at the open bedroom door over there. The tree next to him has been alive for nearly a hundred years, and it is still filled with fragrance.

He stood there blankly for a long time, then Mo Yiming looked down at his outstretched right hand, which was covered with wrinkles and spots.

"Oh, I see, that's how it is."

Shi Sheng's flying speed could be said to have reached the fastest since he started practicing. In less than two hours, he had reached Mingzhou from Hele Mountain.

When Shi Sheng fell directly from the sky to the outside of his parents' backyard bedroom, he saw Mo Yiming sitting on the wooden threshold of the bedroom and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Yiming also raised his head at this time, and smiled when he saw Shi Shengze.

"Shisheng, you're back too. Is Dad disappointed?"

"No, Dad, that's not happening!"

As he spoke, Shi Sheng seemed to realize something and looked towards the osmanthus tree in the yard, but by then Yi Shuyuan and the others had already woken up.

Heleshan is still the same Heleshan. The mountain breeze brings coolness, and there are some fireflies flying in the mountains.

Hui Mian suddenly asked Yaci a question, referring to Mo Yiming's question.

"Does Long Jun feel disappointed?"

Yaci shook his head and his eyes fell on Chanqin, who also moved closer to him.

"It's my luck!" "So am I!"
