Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 681

Fortunately, this kind of fireworks burned very quickly. After the two of them ran for a while, the light in Lily's hand went out, and the little fox finally escaped with his life.

"Lily, come here."

Kong Zhe waved to Lily, and after she ran over, he handed over a bag of coppers that he had divided.

"These are all at your disposal. You can buy what you want to eat, but be careful not to go too far."

"Ooh!"

Lily's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took it happily. When she opened it, she found that there were hundreds of copper coins in this bag, which was definitely enough for a festival.

Lily had been coveting the food stalls on both sides for a long time, but now she screamed as soon as she got the money, and ran over.

"Boss, I want this rice noodle..."

"And this meatball..."

"Two squid skewers..."

……

After a while, there was a pile of food in her arms.The big paper bag, which was almost as tall as her, was filled to the brim. In addition, both hands were also occupied by large and small bags.

"Hey--Xiaoji, move quickly."

After shopping, Lily stopped at a corner of the street and whispered to the surroundings.

Her chest throbbed for a while, and then the little spider emerged from her collar, and white spider threads flashed, and the food in the bag was caught by it immediately.

With the cover of the big paper bag, the figure of the little spider was completely covered up.The two kept their movements in sync, smiling and feasting together.The food in the bag was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kong Zhe was on the spot, smiling and watching this scene from a distance.He didn't choose to step forward to disturb it. It was the first time for Lily, who was born after the end of the world, to participate in such a lively festival, so let her let go and play.

However, even if he didn't follow, he might encounter danger, Kong Zhe always concentrated part of his mental power around Lily, ensuring that she wouldn't get lost in the crowd.

Seeing Lily smiling so happily, Kong Zhe was a little relieved, and looked down at the little fox beside him.

After being chased all the way by Lily just now, the little fox seemed to have lost his soul, and was lying at his feet weakly, too tired to move.

"How about it, do you have anything to eat? There is still money."

Kong Zhe shook the purse in his hand and said with a smile.

"Oh……"

The little fox was stunned for a moment, exhaled, lazily got up from the ground, shook his head and said, "Thank you, but I don't need it. My family runs a shrine, and I'm tired of eating the food at the festival."

"Is that so?"

Kong Zhe nodded without any further force.

"Ah, the carriage of the Fox God!"

Suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd.The noise became louder and louder, and soon became one, and people's eyes turned to the sky in unison.

"that is……"

Kong Zhe followed the eyes of the crowd, and in the distance, a carriage pulled by a two-headed creature was slowly approaching.

This mysterious creature pulling the carriage looks very strange. It seems that there are lightning bolts under its feet, and every step seems to step into the void, which makes the carriage travel safely in the air.

Flying carriage?
Kong Zhe couldn't help touching his chin, feeling interested.

How in the world is this possible?Is it just the ability of that creature, or is it that the carriage itself has been blessed with some kind of power?
It seems that the so-called Fox God is not in vain... He suddenly has a little confidence in making a wish tonight.

Shaking his head, Kong Zhe asked: "So, the one sitting in the carriage is the Fox God?"

"No, it's just a fox god envoy, the real fox god will come after they dance."

"Dance?"

……

The flying carriage was extremely fast, and soon approached the festival site, and then the unicorn-like creature kept walking, pulling the carriage and flying directly over the heads of the crowd, and finally turned into a beam of light, pouring into the shrine at the end of the festival street among.

And with the disappearance of the beam of light in the sky, the crowd participating in the ceremony seemed to suddenly become lively, surging forward in unison.

"Lily, come back!"

The flow of people came rumbling, Kong Zhe and the two were shaken left and right.Afraid of being lost, Kong Zhe hurriedly waved to Lily who was far away, signaling her to run back.

And at this time in the shrine, all the witches who got off the carriage also started their actions one after another, some of them hurried to the back hall, and the rest went to the high platform in the front yard of the shrine to prepare for the Kagura dance .

A few minutes later, on the high platform, more than a dozen witches had already lined up in a neat queue, wearing white shirts and red skirts, with fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples, holding a sacred bell in one hand and a red tie in the other, and began to dance gracefully.

The priestesses kept their uniform movements, slow and graceful, and matched with the priestess costumes in white and scarlet hakama, it looked pleasing to the eye.

Next to them, there was a row of maidens kneeling on the ground, beating drums, bells, flutes and other musical instruments to form a melodious melody to match the rhythm of the dancers.

At this time, a large number of people poured into the shrine, and the high platform was filled with people in an instant, and more people rushed to the fox statue in the middle of the shrine, and began to burn incense in a hurry, worshiping the god while Make a wish in your heart.

……

In the back hall of the shrine, a group of fox girls are running around.

Looking at the war-like scene in front of her, Xiaolei couldn't help becoming more nervous, and hurriedly asked Xiaozao beside her, "Then, what, what should I do?"

"Come here."

Xiaozao beckoned to Xiaolei.At this time, dozens of tables have been placed in this hall, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones are prepared on each table. These are all prepared for the witches for the next work.

Xiao Zuo was sitting in front of one of the tables, and she pointed directly to the seat next to her.

"You sit here! What you have to do is very simple, just record the wishes you heard completely on paper!"

"Oh...but how...Huh?"

Xiaolei came over and sat down in a daze. She was just about to ask how to hear other people's wishes.Suddenly, a loud voice rang in his ears.

"I hope my mother's illness can recover as soon as possible..."

"I hope to pass the test in the coming year and become an official Fox God Envoy..."

"I hope that the next business will go smoothly, and the future life will be rich in wealth..."

……

"Ugh?"

Xiaolei blinked in surprise, so could these wishes sound directly in her mind?
And before writing a wish, the voice representing a certain wish will always be entrenched in the mind until it is written down.This feature makes the recording work much easier.

The speed of new voices in the brain is very fast, so writing here must also be fast, at least to be able to keep up with the speed of the wish, otherwise the backlog of voices will accumulate more and more.

On the side, Xiaozao was already galloping with a pen, and Xiaolei also hurriedly picked up a pen and started recording.

However, she only wrote a few sentences before she discovered an important problem.

Xiaolei hurriedly pulled Xiaozao and asked: "Well, Xiaozao, why are there such big differences in the size of these voices? Some wishes seem to ring directly in the ear, and they can be heard clearly, but some voices are very small. , I have listened to it several times but still can’t tell the difference, what should I do?”

Those voices that are too small may be heard clearly after listening to them several times, but it will definitely consume a lot of time.It stands to reason that it is the same wish, and the voice should be the same. Xiaolei subconsciously thought that it was caused by her inability to operate.

"It doesn't matter, you can skip any wishes with lower voices, just record those loud ones. Even those loud ones, you may not be able to remember them."

Xiaozao explained a sentence indifferently.He didn't even look back, his hands were still rustling as he wrote.

"Huh? But, but..."

Xiaolei hesitated immediately when she heard the words. In this way, their work would be easier, but wouldn't it be unfair to those who worked so hard to make wishes?

"So, it's okay. Don't think too much about it. It's impossible for the wish with a low voice to be chosen by Lord Fox God. It doesn't matter if you remember it or not."

Xiaozuo finally paused writing this time, turned his head and explained patiently: "Listen well, Xiaolei, it depends on the power of Lord Fox God to make wishes come true, but not all wishes can be realized. Lord Fox God Preference is the mood of sincerely wishing for others. So, do you understand why the voices that reach your ears vary in size?"

"Let's distinguish carefully. Those loud wishes are often made for others. The more sincere the heart, the louder the voice, and the higher the voice, the more chances will be recorded by us recorders. There is a greater chance of being seen by the Fox God. As for those who only care about making wishes for themselves, it is impossible for such a selfish mood to be favored by the Fox God."

Xiaozao looked at Xiaolei and smiled: "So, don't pay attention to those whispered wishes. If this kind of wish affects the desire to record the real pure knot, it will be our dereliction of duty."

"Oh, so that's the case..."

Xiaolei suddenly realized that she didn't have to hesitate anymore, she closed her eyes and felt it, and she also imitated Xiaozuo's style and started galloping.

……

"Boom..."

Amidst the bang, brilliant fireworks rose into the air, and then transformed into colorful patterns.The crowd on the ground stretched their necks to look out, cheering endlessly.

The large number of fireworks that Kong Zhe had just sold finally gradually began to show their beauty on this night.

"Look, brother, what's that?"

Lily pulled Kong Zhe suddenly, pointed to the front and called out.

"That's a wishing card!"

The little fox replied.

Wishing card?Kong Zhe froze for a moment, then looked over there.Sure enough, in that direction, there was a shelf full of small wooden signs, and everyone around would pick a sign from the shelf and hold it in their hands when they passed by.

"At the Fox God Sacrifice, tourists have two ways to express their wishes to the Fox God. One is to kneel down, clap, and bow directly in front of the Fox God statue. However, the place in the shrine is too small to accommodate so many There are many people, so there is this second method, as long as you write your wish on the wishing card, and then put the wishing card in the lantern and let it fly, it can also be heard by the fox god envoys who are in charge of recording."

After finally talking about what he understood, the little fox pointed his fingers up and started talking.
