People are in the alliance, but the Taiwan server system

The markings on the map are...

"Is this town called the Forest of Dreams? Or is this area called the Forest of Dreams?" Chen Ce was a little confused for a moment.

"Lilia doesn't know either..." The little deer girl looked curiously into the town, "This is also Lilia's first time here..."

"Then you want to go in?"

"It should be...Mother Tree's call came from here."

"Then maybe we have to say goodbye." Chen Ce took off the luggage from Lilia's back and handed her the corresponding reward - food and gold coins. "Our destination is Ferol Island - looking at the map, it is still a short distance away from here, and there is a strait in the middle."

"Hmm..." Lilia held the bag of gold coins in her arms, looking a little reluctant and a little timid - she was very afraid of strangers, and if Chen Ce and Ah Li left, she wouldn't be alone. Dare to go into the town.

At least...she had to wait until night when no one was around before she dared to sneak in quietly and take a look.

"Then...goodbye...?"

"See you soon." Chen Ce waved goodbye, and Ahri also waved his tail towards Lilia for the first time.

The three of them divided into two groups and drifted away.

But just when Chen Ce was about to leave the Dream Forest, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him - without warning or awareness, as if it had always been there.

"Are you also here to participate in the Spirit Blooming Festival? Ionia has not had a spirit blooming for several years... I am really lucky this year."

Turning around, he saw an old woman with white hair who was over six years old looking at him with a smile.

"Spirited Soul Festival?" Chen Ce was stunned.

"Yes, the Soul Blooming Festival." The old woman showed an unexpected look again, "Aren't you here to participate in the Soul Blooming Festival?"

"No, grandma. We were just passing by." Chen Ce gave the other party an Ionian greeting.

"Oh, that's right..." The old woman returned the gesture, "Then you might as well come and see the other shore flower together - it's rare. This is the first time that the other shore flower has bloomed since the war began."

"Thank you for your invitation and kindness, but we are in a hurry now." Chen Ce nodded slightly, and then prepared to leave.

But the old woman didn't get out of the way.

She smiled widely, her few remaining teeth making her look even more kind.

"My child, when the flowers on the other side bloom, you can see the people who have passed away... friends, relatives, or lovers... I can see that you have something on your mind, right?"

Without waiting for Chen Ce to answer, she turned to look at Ah Li beside her.

"This little girl is very beautiful... But I think the one you miss the most has gone to another world, right? I can see that the longing in your heart has been tainted with the atmosphere of another world... the underworld ...Oh, this is really heartbreaking..."

The old woman's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of mystery and a hint of confidence.

She was very sure that the person Ah Li missed most in her heart was dead - she could "see" the other person's thoughts, and she could also "see" that the object of her thoughts was covered with a faint aura of the underworld.

"Huh?"

In this regard, Ahri...

He tilted his head in confusion, and then looked at Chen Ce.

It seems...that's not wrong?

Chapter 79 Ahri: My head feels so itchy o.0

The Blooming Spirit Festival, a traditional festival in Ionia, is often considered to be the same festival as the "Zhanling Spring Festival".

During this festival, the boundaries between the material realm and the spiritual realm will become blurred and even merge with each other. It is said that the deceased will cross the boundary between the two worlds in the form of [spirits] and meet the living again.

The way to see the deceased is through the blooming Hibiscus flower.

Under the guidance of Bana Flower, those who miss them will step into a unique space between the material realm and the spiritual realm, where both the living and the dead can exist peacefully, and they can express their feelings and thoughts to each other.

As for the existence time of that strange space, most people think that it is equal to the time of the Spiritual Blooming Festival - that is, the time when the spiritual trees bloom and the flowers of the other side bloom.

When time passes, that strange space will disappear, the living will return to the place where they saw the flower of the other side, and the dead will return to the underworld.

Many Ionians believed this rumor.

But more people have not seen this wonderful scene with their own eyes.

The reason why rumors are rumors is because most people have never experienced it personally.

Of course, this does not prevent people from toasting, drinking, and celebrating the festival on this day - Spirit Blossom Festival means that the spiritual trees bloom, the Ionian spirit bestows blessings, and it also means that the New Year has officially arrived, no matter what Worth celebrating.

This beautiful traditional festival is a rare celebration for all Ionians.

Only Chen Ce has not participated.

Since the outbreak of the Noxian War, the spirit tree has never sprouted new buds, and the war has stopped the [Spirited Spirit]. Ionia has not had a Spirit Bloom Festival for several years.

This opportunity to participate in the Soul Blooming Festival is right in front of him, but...he is still a little in a hurry right now.

As business was more important, he thought it was more important to go to Filor Island to find Syndra first.

But the old woman in front of her was so kind that it was hard to resist.

"You can see the person you miss most through the Bibi Flower, the little Vastaya girl."

The old woman smiled kindly at Ahri, and her every gesture was kind and kind.

"The spiritual tree has sprouted new buds. I think you will be happy to see him... It is a good thing to exchange one night for peace for the rest of your life."

"I don't really understand..." Ahri blinked in confusion, looking like his CPU was about to burn out.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand... Let me ask you, do you want to see the person you miss the most?" the old woman asked again.

"Of course I do." Ah Li replied without thinking, and at the same time turned to glance at Chen Ce standing next to him.

"Then the person you miss the most has been tainted with the breath of another world...right?"

"Hmm...it seems so, right?"

"That's it. Through Higanbana, you can see him again."

"Eh...?" Ah Li took hold of Chen Ce's arm with a puzzled look on his face.

Chen Ce understood it clearly - he returned from the underworld and stole a small part of Mordekaiser's power. Naturally, he was "tainted with the breath of another world".

I'm afraid that the old woman in front of her thinks that the person Ahri misses the most, namely herself, is "contaminated with the breath of another world" after she died.

This misunderstanding is somewhat interesting...

But more of it revealed that something was wrong.

"Why do you invite us so enthusiastically to the Soul Blooming Festival?"

"Because I am the priest of the Soul Blooming Festival." Facing Chen Ce's suspicion, the old woman smiled and waved her hand. "My duty is to bring the gift of the spiritual tree to the world, so that all those who are suffering can find inner peace."

"Is that so?" Chen Ce was still a little skeptical.

But just when he was thinking that it would be better to do less than to do more, and was about to find an excuse to refuse, a certain silly roe deer came out of the small woods on the side.

"Mr. Chen Ce... You're already here, why don't you go shopping together... It just so happens that you guys also need to take a rest. It would also be nice to buy some dry food or something..."

"But we are indeed in a hurry." Chen Ce still shook his head and refused.

"It's just one night...wait for tomorrow...How about Lilia carrying you on her back...?" Lilia seemed to really want someone to accompany her, "Lilia is very fast... can help you." Save more than one night…”

"This..." Chen Ce still hesitated.

But Ah Li made the decision first: "Okay, okay, I will ride on you tomorrow!"

"Well... no problem..." Lilia shrank back, leaving only two fawn hooves poking out of the grass.

Seeing this, Chen Ce couldn't say anything else.

Since Lilia wanted someone to accompany her to see her "Tree Mother" so much, and she volunteered to help shorten the journey, it would be unreasonable to refuse.

"Okay, just one night."

"Okay!" Lilia jumped up happily, but soon realized that it was embarrassing to do so, and quickly retreated into the grass with a blushing face.

The three who had reached an agreement were reunited.

The old woman from the Dream Forest also smiled kindly.

The Forest of Dreams is bustling with activity during the Spirit Blossom Festival. Starting after noon, people take to the streets wearing all kinds of new clothes, chatting happily in small groups, or taking their families to the lively market to choose products.

The streets are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, red lanterns and bright yellow shadow puppets can be seen everywhere, and people everywhere are full of laughter and laughter.

In this traditional festival worth celebrating, people will also wear three uniform but different styles of masks to express respect for the Ionian gods.

"Those fox masks refer to the door god, the evil ghost mask refers to the Immortal Picker, and the one with two horns on its head represents the God of Killing."

"Speaking of which... little girl, you are also a vastaya who is as cute and beautiful as a fox. Maybe they should ask you to play the door god in a stage play. I think that will be very popular."

"The Door God is our most worshiped god. She will guide the lost spirits into the spiritual realm, so that they can find eternal peace."

"Xie Xian is a bit... um... scary. He is a god who is jealous of the door god. He once used tricks to force two brothers to kill each other. It is very scary."

"The God of Killing is an absolutely neutral god. Everyone will see her before they die... There are two gorgeous horns on her head, and the curved eyes on the mask make the entire face look evil. Laugh…oh by the way, she’s a little girl.”

"And those gorgeous open flame paper lanterns..."

............

......

The old woman led the three people around the Dream Forest while explaining the traditions and legends about the Soul Blooming Festival. The sunset soon fell from the horizon and was replaced by a bright crescent moon.

Night has fallen, but the town is more lively than during the day.

People gathered by rivers, bridges and temple fairs to celebrate the first Spiritual Blooming Festival in recent years.

But Lilia had no time to appreciate it.

All she could think about now was her "Mother Tree" - she felt that she was very close, and the call of Mother Tree... was right in front of her.

Finally, she stopped at the entrance of a dense forest.

Looking inside, there was no moonlight in the deep and silent corridor, only some magnificent plants emitting bursts of blue light.Can't see the road clearly, revealing a strange atmosphere.

When the old woman saw this, she also stopped and showed a meaningful smile: "Have you seen the flowers on the other side?"

"Higanbana... Lilia doesn't know..." Lilia shook her head timidly, "Lilia just feels... Lilia must enter from here..."

Mother Tree is inside...she is calling Lilia...

"Your feeling is right, child." The old woman nodded again, "Although I can't see from your heart who you are missing, and whether the person you are missing has already arrived in another world... But since If you can sense the flower of the other side, it proves that the spiritual tree is calling you."

"Spirit tree... um..." In fact, Lilia was not sure whether the "spiritual tree" the other party mentioned was her mother tree.

The old woman said nothing more and turned to look at the beautiful fox girl: "It just so happens that this is where the other shore flower blooms... As I said before, walk in the direction guided by the other shore flower. You You can see the person you miss the most."

"Oh." Ah Li nodded calmly, showing some indifference.

The person I miss the most... is already hugging me tightly. If you want to see it, you can see it at any time. Why go in there?

One of the two "beast-eared girls" wanted to go and the other was too lazy to go. Chen Ce silently looked at the old woman in front of him, and secretly raised a not very good suspicion in his heart - a guess that had already begun to take shape since entering the Dream Forest. .

Others may not know much about the other side of the Soul Blooming Festival, but he knows it very well.

About...some soul-stirring spirits.

"Follow your inner thoughts." The old woman took out three more masks with a smile, "Put on the masks and follow the guidance of the other shore flower. You will see the person you miss most under the spiritual tree..."

"Thank you..." Lilia was the first to take over the mask - it looked no different from the masks worn by other Ionians. They were all one of the three masks of the Door God, the Immortal Immortal and the Killing God.

Ah Li and Chen Ce also took over the strange-looking masks from the old woman's hands.

Before leaving, the old woman kindly reminded:

"The Soul Blooming Festival allows people to see their deceased relatives, friends or lovers. People can hug again the people they miss most, and they can also talk about their thoughts and feelings, but..."

"You must pay attention. The original intention of the Spirit Blooming Festival is to let people 'let go of the past' rather than 'stay in the past'. Remember not to indulge in the gift of the spirit tree..."

"I hope you can stride forward in the days to come and never look back, my lovely travelers."

The old woman smiled and waved, then turned and left.

Only the blue gleam of the other shore flower flickers in the forest...

"Um...Mr. Chen Ce, and Miss Ali...actually you don't need to come with me..."

On the deep and silent forest path, Lilia paced slowly, her expression and behavior revealing apologies and a hint of flatterment.
