Controlling the Snake: Provoking the Evil Lord

Shenlong disappeared, and Dongfang Che, who was covered in cold sweat, heaved a sigh of relief. He put on his shoes, picked up the coat that was on the couch, and ran out of the room.

"She is such a terrifying woman, and she must not be offended in the future." Running to the corridor outside the guest room, Dongfang Che still had a trace of fear in his eyes, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

Dongfang Che left the inn, but he did not give up, but changed his method, let Yanshan hide in the dark, and reported Lu Wushuang's whereabouts to himself.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the cemetery of Xiangcao was selected. It was on the hillside of Ubud Mountain, [-] miles away from the northern suburbs of Yuezhou City.

With the help of Mingdian staff, Xiangcao's cemetery was built and the ashes were buried in the soil.

The bright sun was pouring on the top of Ubud Mountain. Lu Wushuang stood squatting in front of the tombstone of Vanilla, with moist eyes, raised his hand to caress the tombstone of Vanilla, and muttered to himself: "Vanilla, the terrain here is very high, you can do it every day from now on." See Yuezhou City, see the hometown I miss. Don’t be afraid if you are alone in the ground, my sister will go up the mountain to see you every day.”

The ashes of vanilla were buried here, in Lishui City, which is just east of Beitiao Country, and Bei Tangye finally got the news that Lu Wushuang had appeared in Yuezhou City.He brought four hermit guards along, and rushed all the way to Yuezhou City non-stop.

As soon as Bei Tangye left Lishui City, Nangong Yudie, who was following behind, immediately sent a letter to Nangong Yu, and she followed behind with her maid Guizhi and guards towards Yuezhou City.

The sun is shining golden, the sky is blue and the clouds are beautiful.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yuezhou City ushered in the most lively Chrysanthemum Festival of the year.

There is a rich and intoxicating aroma of chrysanthemums in the air. On the bustling streets, countless chrysanthemums are placed on both sides of the street, extending from the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and all the way to Yuecheng Square, where the chrysanthemum festival is held in the city.

There are even several pots of golden chrysanthemums placed at the doorways of many shops. It is true that there are chrysanthemums all over the city.

Twenty miles away from the city was Mount Ubud. Lu Wushuang, who had been living at the foot of the mountain, was the same as usual. She got up at dawn, finished cooking, and then went up the mountain with the incense paper offerings.

Sitting on Xiangcao's grave for a long time, I looked up at the sky, the sun was high, it was already noon, the warm sunshine shone down, and it was warm on my body, but Lu Wushuang's heart was cold and lonely.

"Xiangcao, sister will come to see you tomorrow." Saying goodbye, Lu Wushuang put the offerings placed in front of the grave into a basket one by one, and when he stood up and was about to go down the mountain, Dongfang Che, who hadn't seen him for a few days, held a handful of offerings in his hand. The white jade folding fan stood a few meters away.The mountain wind blows, and the ink hair is light.

Lu Wushuang carried the bamboo basket and walked up to Dongfang Che, frowned unhappily, and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll take you back to the city. Today is Yuezhou City's annual Chrysanthemum Festival, and it's very lively. When we return to the city later, let's go to Yuecheng Square to play for a while." Dongfang Che's eyes were shining brightly, and his face was full of excitement. With an elegant smile, like a white lotus just blooming.

"Not interested." Lu Wushuang directly refused after glancing at Dongfang Che lightly.

"Ms. Wushuang, I know that you and Ms. Liu are deeply in love with each other. You are sad when Ms. Liu is gone. But I believe that Ms. Liu under Nine Springs definitely does not want to see you looking sad and unhappy all day long." Dongfang Che Persuade.

Lu Wushuang didn't listen to Dongfang Che's words. She stepped on the narrow path and continued walking down the mountain with a bamboo basket.

"Ms. Wushuang, you have been unable to let go of Ms. Liu's death. You have been living so unhappy. I believe that Ms. Liu in the underground will also be unhappy."

Only one person could walk on the narrow mountain road, Dongfang Che walked side by side with Lu Wushuang in the weeds, and continued to persuade without giving up.His purpose was simple, he just hoped that the smile could climb up Lu Wushuang's face again.

Lu Wushuang paused, this time, she listened to Dongfang Che's words.She didn't answer, and she didn't make any promises, but the pace of going down the mountain accelerated.

Dongfang Che quickened his pace to keep up, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.It seems that what he just said has worked.

At the foot of the mountain, Yan Shan was waiting in front of the carriage with a straw hat on his head.Seeing Lu Wushuang and Dongfang Che approaching, he quickly placed a bench beside the carriage, and let the two climb onto the carriage by stepping on the bench.

After galloping all the way, they finally arrived at Yuezhou City at sunset.

As soon as you enter the city, the rich and intoxicating fragrance of chrysanthemums comes to your nostrils, and the curtains of the carriage are lifted, and the streets and alleys are filled with chrysanthemums of various shapes and colors, and there are many varieties.

"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, and after we're done, we'll go to Yuecheng Square. I heard that there are more chrysanthemums there, and it's more lively." Dongfang Che said with a smile on his eyebrows.

Lu Wushuang didn't say a word, the silence remained.

However, Dongfang Che knew that as long as she didn't refuse, she agreed.

After choosing a restaurant with good taste, Yan Shan drove the carriage to Yuecheng Square after a hasty meal.

Get out of the carriage, look around, chrysanthemums are everywhere, the fragrance is intoxicating.

The most conspicuous thing is that in the middle of the square, there is a painted dragon boat about seven or eight meters long.Lanterns were hung on the dragon boat to illuminate the dark sky.There are two large flower baskets symmetrically placed on the bow and stern of the boat, and the flower baskets are filled with colorful chrysanthemums.In the middle is a big drum that is as high as it is, and a bare-armed man wields a drumstick, beating the drum hard.

On the side of the dragon boat, tens of thousands of pots of chrysanthemums are placed around, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

The square is noisy and lively, and there are so many tourists that it can only be described as a sea of ​​people.

Lu Wushuang, who has been living at the foot of Ubud Mountain, leads a monotonous and quiet life every day.Suddenly coming to a crowded place, she frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Turning around, Lu Wushuang wanted to leave the square, but was pulled by Dongfang Che, pointing forward, "Since we are here, don't think about other things, just play a game to your heart's content. There is a game of guessing lantern fans over there, let's go over there." play for fun."

Lu Wushuang raised his head and looked in the direction of Dongfang Che's finger. Not far ahead, there were more than a dozen red strings hanging in the air like a bead net. Many colorful lanterns hung from the red strings, and red paper was pasted on the lanterns. Notes, lamp fans write on these red notes.

"it is good."

The lively atmosphere infected Lu Wushuang. It had been a long time since she had played Guessing the Lantern, she nodded, and walked towards the Guessing the Lantern together with Dongfang Che.

The chrysanthemum festival this time was organized by the government of Yuezhou City, and the game of guessing the lantern fans was naturally planned by the government.

"This game is quite interesting. There will be rewards for the top three who guess the lantern fans correctly." Walking to the lantern guessing place, I saw a big notice that said, No. 1, get a glazed lantern, 20 taels of silver. No.2, a chrysanthemum lantern, ten taels of silver. No.3, one ordinary lantern, five taels of silver.

The lantern rewards are attractive, but the silver is even more attractive.Although it is not a lot, for ordinary people, even five taels of silver is enough to feed a family for several months.

At this moment, the place with the most people in the entire square is the place where the lights are guessed.

Just as Lu Wushuang and Dongfang Che reached the guessing place, they were scattered by the crowd.

"Miss Wushuang." Dongfang Che didn't even bother to guess what the lights were. He stood on tiptoe and kept searching for Lu Wushuang's figure, but what he saw were moving heads and colorful lanterns.

Compared with Dongfang Che's anxiety, Lu Wushuang was much more leisurely. This lamp fan looked at that lamp fan, and finally came to a lantern and stopped.

The bright moon hangs high, the Milky Way runs across, and under the starry sky, there is a beautiful lotus pond.On the lotus leaves like jade plates in the pool, there are a pair of handsome men and beautiful women lying.The woman's eyes are closed, the corners of her mouth are slightly curved, and she is dreaming a sweet dream.The man turned his head sideways, his affectionate eyes hovering over the woman's face, with a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

On the lantern, there are four handsome and elegant characters, but with a bit of wild handwriting.

"Mid-Autumn Chrysanthemum Blooms" four lantern fans who seem to be incompatible with colored lanterns.

Seeing such a familiar picture, the sweet and beautiful three days in Qingyin Town appeared in Lu Wushuang's mind, and a burst of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Lu Wushuang stood on tiptoe, trying to take down the lantern.There was a colored lantern in the middle, but someone was unaware and took the first step to take down the colored lantern.

He couldn't see his face, but he could only see a black brocade robe trimmed with gold thread, which matched Lu Wushuang's black dress very well.

"Hey, I saw this lantern first, so give it back to me." Lu Wushuang's eyes were as dark as the night, and she stretched out her hand to snatch the lantern.But the man in black with the colored lantern seemed to have already guessed the idea, turned around quickly, and rushed into the crowd.

"Hey, why does this figure look familiar?" Lu Wushuang, slightly puzzled, squeezed away from the crowd and chased after that figure.Every time he was about to lose track, the black figure would stop and wait for her on purpose.When she was near, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

With seven turns and eight bends, hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums are placed together in the quiet courtyard, exuding a rich fragrance under the blurred night.

As if he had already guessed that Lu Wushuang would come after him, the man in black stood in the sea of ​​flowers and waited with a colored lantern in his hand.He wore a ferocious ghost mask on his face, revealing only a pair of star-like eyes.Her jet-black hair fluttered slightly in the cool night breeze.

"Who are you? Why did you lead me here?" Lu Wushuang paused on the outskirts of the sea of ​​flowers, facing the pair of bright black gemstone-like pupils across the pots of golden chrysanthemums, he raised his slender eyes suspiciously. eyebrow asked.

The man in black didn't make a sound, but hooked his fingers towards Lu Wushuang, signaling her to come over.

Lu Wushuang didn't move, the masked man sighed softly, walked up to Lu Wushuang helplessly, held her hand, and led her to the center of the sea of ​​flowers.

As soon as he stood still, Lu Wushuang raised his hand and quickly removed the mask from the man in black.
