Evil Bone Devourer

Chapter 233 Sky Lantern Festival
-
After dinner, I took Lin Yu back to Guyin Palace. She made her wish in front of the gods devoutly. Before I left, I tied two little dolls on her body.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and when she was about to speak, I quickly stopped her and said, "You don't need to say anything, just keep your wish in your heart."

She insisted on throwing money at me, so I took a nominal ten yuan and sent her to leave with Lin Bao.

I didn't expect this girl to send me good news seven days after No.40. At that time, she was excited and incoherent on the phone, and the most she said was 'thank you'.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Every year on the seventh day of April is the grand festival in Zongzhou, the Sky Lantern Festival.According to legend, the eighth day of April is the day when the first ghost king established the Guyin Palace, and it is also the birthday of the current palace owner Yu Qiuting.

At that night, Kongming lanterns will be lit throughout the city to pray for good weather next year, as well as happiness for all families, prosperity for the population, and prosperity for wealth.

The Guyin Palace naturally needs to be prepared earlier than ordinary people. When I organize such an event, Uncle Chao has to help with many rules and etiquettes.

It's sad that I haven't celebrated his birthday for so many years.

The entire road in front of the gate of Guyin Palace is an empty space without any residents. On that day, there is a blessing table at the entrance where you can get free Kongming lanterns for blessing.

This road has been closed three days in advance, no cars are allowed to pass, and the Guyin Palace has been closed for three consecutive days to burn incense and purify the palace.

On the night of the seventh day of the seventh day, the cordon that had been set up just after dark was pulled away, and a large number of people poured in immediately. I stood on the three-story prayer platform and watched the dense crowd outside.

Everyone lined up to receive blessing supplies in an orderly manner. Everyone had excited smiles on their faces, and the power of their hearts was infinite. Who could say whether their dreams would come true?
Huanxi reminded me beside me: "Shengsi, Uncle Chao is ready, and you will preside over the opening."

I nodded slightly. Today, the fancy dress that Sister Lan prepared for me is bright red brocade embroidered. I seldom wear red, and I was a little bit resistant at first. We will also prepare dark red costumes now."

After hearing this, I readily accepted it. The red robe was embroidered with large peony flowers, which neither steals the limelight nor is it inferior.

The crowd below was silent, and slightly raised their heads to look up at the prayer platform. Huanxi prepared a long speech for me. To be honest, I really can’t describe those beautiful scenes.

Just thinking about it in my mind gave goose bumps all over my body.

I also prepared a yellow Kongming lantern myself, and lit it under the attention of thousands of people. With my hands on the palms, the heat of the candle was slightly hot.

"On behalf of all the people in Guyin Palace, I pray for blessings, and bless Guyin Palace with a prosperous incense this year, and that the righteous gods will be in place to save the suffering.

Invoking the blessings of the gods, may the palace master return soon, safe and healthy.

Protect all believers to achieve their wishes, eliminate disasters and accumulate blessings. "

After finishing speaking, I raised my hand to give it away gently, and the first lamp went up into the air smoothly, and I added in a low voice: "Yu Qiuting, happy birthday."

Yu Chenglin and the others saw that I didn't speak according to the original plan, and their faces were a bit ugly, but no matter how much I said beautifully, it was just to confuse the eyes of the world, as long as I was sincere, it would be the same even if I didn't say anything.

The public didn't think there was anything, and after a cheer, they lit the Kongming lanterns in their hands one after another, followed by one, two, thousands of lanterns.
The dark night sky became as fiery as the setting sun, and the lights were as bright as the magnified stars in the sky. They illuminated the darkness, illuminated everyone's face, and illuminated the dark heart.

I have never seen such a grand scene, so many people doing the same thing together, this kind of atmosphere is really exciting, the hairs all over my body can't help standing up, and my hands tremble slightly.

Huanxi ran up from below and gave me a small cloth bag. I looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What is it?"

"Shengsi, your grandma is here, she asked me to give it to you."

I opened it and removed it. There were five kinds of rice inside, which represented whole grains. They were tightly wrapped in a red cloth, and none of them spilled out.

I looked closely at the crowd below looking for grandma, but there were too many people and I couldn't find it.

She was so happy that she couldn't bear to persuade her: "Shengsi, the old lady is sensible, she specifically asked you not to look for her, she just missed you and came to see you.

Shengsi, the overall situation is the most important thing. If you continue to ignore it, so many pairs of eyes will not be good for the old lady. "

I held the small bag of rice tightly, wishing to exhaust all my strength.

"Understood, I won't go. Tell her for me that I'm fine here and don't miss me. I'll go back and see her when I'm not busy here."

Huanxi nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Wait."

I handed him the red envelope, "Give this to Uncle Chao, and ask someone to take it to Mount Jiuli and put it under the palace master's pillow."

Huanxi took back the palm-sized red flannel bag, and asked puzzledly, "Is there any meaning for this rice?"

"Everyone has to eat whole grains. What grandma means is to use the fireworks of the world to bring his soul back. Try it! Maybe it will work."

Five-color rice is very useful, as we usually use it to clean the house to exorcise evil spirits. I think it must be the meaning of grandma bringing the rice at this time.

After the joy went down, I waited for the incense to burn out and walked down the prayer platform. Yu Haining passed Yu Chenglin and walked to me, looking subconsciously at my lower abdomen. The robe I was wearing today was relatively loose, and she couldn't tell anything about it.

"Yun Shengsi, do you have time to talk?"

I passed her and looked at Yu Chenglin, Yu Chenglin immediately avoided my gaze and looked elsewhere.

I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I really don't have time today, if you have something to discuss with me at the weekly meeting, there is no need to discuss it in private."

Yu Haining was very calm today, he put away his usual fiery temper, and he was not irritated by my few words.

She took two steps forward and walked across from me, and lightly patted my lower abdomen with a half-smile, "Okay, then please take care!"

I raised my dark red lips, and replied without fear in my eyes: "Thank you."

At this time, a person rushed out from the crowd. Her screaming voice was not loud in the crowd. Many security guards stopped her from approaching me, fearing that such a scene would cause riots.

"Shengsi, I want to see Shengsi! Please, let me in! My family is really urgent, please!"

When she made such a fuss, all the eyes of the people around were attracted to her. She was out of breath from crying, her legs were weak and she fell to the ground. Fortunately, there were security guards around her to hold her up.
