Chapter 277 Lantern Ceremony

"Am I the only one who has it?"

Lin Jue looked carefully and saw that not only himself, but also the door of Junior Sister's room, the door of Luo Gong's room and even the door of the attic were pasted with Spring Festival couplets.

Luo Gong's room is on his right. In front of the door is written:

The people are safe and the country is prosperous;

Good weather and good weather praise the good times.

Hengbiao: Peace in the world

"Um……"

Lin Jue looked at the Spring Festival couplets and thought deeply.

Then he turned his head and looked to the other side.

The junior sister's room is rarely occupied. It is on the left side of her room. What is written on the door is:

The years of youth are here every year;

Taoism and cultivation are getting higher and higher step by step.

Hengbiao: Immortality

"Um?"

Lin Jue smiled again.

It was now confirmed that the Spring Festival couplets posted for them by the two "foxes" in the courtyard were probably not posted casually. At least, they were put up after some thought, and they were more or less suitable for them.

As for why I posted this Spring Festival couplet to my little junior sister, it was probably because they were overheard by a few people chatting when they were eating in the courtyard.

Lin Jue walked to the attic again.

What it says is:

The spring rain moistens all things;

Begonias embroider thousands of mountains.

Horizontal comment: full of spring

"Oh……"

Lin Jue laughed out loud and turned his head at the same time to look at the crabapple tree in the courtyard.

The crabapples have not yet bloomed at this time.

As I said before, the "fox" in the world's population is the same as the "dragon" in the past. It may not really be a fox. It's because people like foxes and pursue the fox fairy nature, so when they see some foxes, they don't know what they are.

Spirits with the ability to change are called "fox" whenever they appear in cities, mountains, forests, or villages. If they are associated with water, fog, or clouds, they are called "dragon."

As for what these two people were, Lin Jue had not explored carefully, but his fox always ran to the crabapple tree on the first day and stared at the crabapple tree with interest. Lin Jue knew that these two

Even if it wasn't the begonia in the courtyard that became a spirit, it must have something to do with it.

If it were really Begonia, this couplet would be a bit narcissistic.

Anyway, I still need to thank them.

"Thank you both very much." Lin Jue said to the attic, "I was just worried about what to write in this year's couplet. You two can write much better than our senior brothers and sisters."

Naturally, I didn't get any response.

Lin Jue looked at the junior sister again.

"I've already thanked you." The junior sister thought he was urging her to thank him together.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat it! Boiled eggs!" the junior sister said, raising her hand, holding one in her hand, and handed it to Lin Jue, "It's still hot!"

Lin Jue took the egg and rolled it on his face first. He was a little sleepy at first, but he felt much better. At the same time, he said:

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's go out for a walk and have a bowl of wontons."

“I have been diligent and thrifty for many years!”

"How much can we spend on wontons? Let's go! Call Mr. Luo!"

"Walk!"

The little junior sister was easily persuaded by him, and since she was now wealthy, she turned around and followed him in a hurry.

Call Mr. Luo and go out together.

Just as he arrived at the door, he suddenly bumped into Pan Gong.

Pan Gong was still a little damp and cold, holding two seabass in his hand. He was surprised to meet Lin Jue, but he obviously came to see Lin Jue and the others, and he immediately bowed to them:

"I haven't come here to say hello for many days, so today I'm here to say Happy New Year to my three benefactors!"

Then he handed over the two fish he was holding:

"The bass I just caught from the river this morning means that I will have more than enough every year. I dedicated it to my three benefactors."

"That's very polite."

Lin Jue was a little helpless about this.

Luo Monk took two fishes.

At the same time, he looked at Pan Gong, who was still dressed as a fisherman and was wet, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that Pan Gong has rarely come back these days. I wonder what he is busy with outside?"

"It's nothing. I just took care of Mr. Pan's old mother and went to the river to find some things." Mr. Pan said.

"What are you looking for?"

The three of them looked at him doubtfully.

"It's a long story." Mr. Pan stood there, not afraid of the dampness and coldness on his body. He just said to them, "Nine Heavens Fairyland entrusts the gods of mountains and rivers in the world. Anyone with a name must gather three things to become an innate god.

The same control over things in the mountains and rivers is the priesthood, seals and ritual vessels, all of which are indispensable."

"Keep talking."

"Although I was framed and murdered by the Dragon King, heaven has not removed me from my priesthood, so my priesthood is still with me, but the ritual vessels and seals have been left behind. The three benefactors, oh, and this Fuyao

Great Immortal, four of you except the dragon

Queen, I went to his cave to search and found my seal in a secret place, but the ritual vessel was still missing. As far as I can tell, it is still in the Wei River and has not gone far away, but I have

I have been looking for it for half a year, but I still can’t find it.”

"What does the ritual vessel look like?" Luo Monk asked, "Let's see if we have seen it in the Dragon King's cave."

"Wei Shuihe's ritual vessel is a lantern."

"lantern?"

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other.

The fox also showed a thoughtful expression.

"The lantern looks just like an ordinary lantern. It looks very plain and is hung with a wooden stick. If it is just a lantern, except under the light of the lantern, you can see the five Qi of a person. Except that ordinary people holding a lantern can see

Can come and go freely in the water, not harmed by water, has no other use, needs cooperation

Only the Dharma seal and the priesthood can control the water of the Wei River." Pan Gong continued, "I have already died once. I just want to find the ritual vessel so that I can no longer be bound by the Nine Heavens and truly benefit the people. Alas, other big words.

It shouldn’t be said that this is my only chance to return to the throne of God.”

The three of them continued to look at each other.

It was originally just a casual chat. On New Year's Day, others brought gifts to say hello, but it was hard to say a few polite words. However, I didn't expect that the conversation actually reached something they knew.

But the first thing Lin Jue paid attention to was: "Can you see the five Qi of a person under the light of the lantern?"

"Yes. Any god with a higher position will either have the ability to read people's five auras, or they will have such magical artifacts, so that they can distinguish good from evil when dealing with people." Pan Gong nodded, "But

It is also necessary that the five qi of the person holding the ritual vessel are not mixed. If the five qi of the person are all mixed up, no matter what method is used, the person's five qi will not be visible."

"Maybe a cultivator can see it?"

"Even if you don't achieve enlightenment, you can still see it."

"Haha! That's it!"

It turned out that Wei Nu relied on this lantern to judge that they were not here to celebrate the birthday of Dragon King, but to bid him farewell.

As a result, she could see through the intentions of the three of them earlier than she originally thought.

“Interesting and interesting…”

Lin Jue turned around and glanced at Luo Monk. Seeing that Luo Monk didn't know, he explained to him:

"It is said that people have five qi: clear wood means benevolence, fire clear means propriety, clear metal means righteousness, clear water means wisdom, and clear earth means thinking. If the five qi are pure, the holy virtue will be ready. If wood is turbid, it will be weak, and if fire is turbid, it will be lustful.

, if gold is turbid, it will lead to violence, if water is turbid, it will be greedy, if earth is turbid, it will be stubborn, and if the five qi are turbid, the people will be inferior. According to rumors, the reason why many spirits and spirits can distinguish the good and evil of people is precisely because of the five qi.

"

Is Mr. Luo a foolish person?

It's just that we were farther away for a longer time after all.

As soon as he heard this, his first thought was that Wei Nu was quite cautious. Before she came out of the water, she used the lantern to shine on them to see their five qi and distinguish their good and evil. After making a rough judgment,

Only then did she dare to run out to meet them. And she cleverly used her appearance to create an atmosphere that made people think that she put the lantern out of the water first. It was just a habit or ritual of the gods, and no one would doubt this.

What other functions do lanterns have?

But then Luo Monk immediately thought——

Since Wei Nu used this to see the five auras of herself and others, she might not be able to fully see the characters of the three of them, but she must also know that the three of them are not who they pretend to be.

Therefore, she already knew that the three of them were lying when she met them for the first time, but she actually went on the boat to talk to the three of them. In fact, the whole process was just watching the performance of the three of them.

How did this woman stay so calm throughout the whole process? She didn't even notice the flaw.

"Ha ha!"

Luo Gong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The younger junior sister's expression became strange.

"What are your benefactors laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I can't say it, I can't say it." Luo Gong said while holding the fish.

"What Mr. Luo said is quite right. Although it is harmless and interesting, it is not a glorious thing." Lin Jue, like Mr. Luo, did not think it was anything. Instead, he was amused in thinking about it.

The fun is only for us to slowly savor and smack it.”

The junior sister didn't speak.

When she first heard it, and when she recalled it, she felt a little embarrassed, but she was not the only one involved in that incident, and the mood of open-mindedness was contagious just like laughter. Seeing that the two people around her had also experienced that.

The embarrassed people were laughing, so she scratched her head and started laughing too.

"By the way, Mr. Pan." Luo Monk held up the fish, "Since I accepted your fish and ate your bacon yesterday, it can be regarded as a favor to you. In this way, just in time, we know about your ritual utensils.

Her whereabouts will be regarded as repayment for the fish and meat you gave us. As for whether you can find her and get the gift vessel from her, it all depends on your ability."

"this……"

When Pan Gong heard the first half of the sentence, he was still very frightened and wanted to refuse, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was stunned.

His body was fighting and shaking, and then he bowed and saluted:

"Please give me some advice."

"Since you are the God of the Weishui River, you naturally know that there is a little god named Wei Nu in the Weishui River, right?" Luo Monk said.

"Is it her?"

Mr. Pan trembled again.

He used to be the God of the Weishui River. Regardless of his abilities, all the minor gods in the Weishui River were considered his subordinates. It's just that matters related to gods are not as strict as human relationships.

"It turns out to be her. No wonder I can't find her." Pan Gong murmured to himself. After a moment, he saluted the three of them and said, "Thank you three benefactors."

"It's a reward, so there's no need to thank you. Even if it's offset, we only said one sentence." Luo Monk said, "It's just that although Wei Nu has no friendship with us, she has dealt with us, so if you fight

But she just shouldn’t come to ask us for help.”

"Natural, natural."

Pan Gong kept mumbling, bowed his head repeatedly, and left quickly. He didn't know whether he went back to the yard or went out again.

The three of them stood at the door, looking at his back.

Lin Jue asked: "Luo Gong thinks, who can win between these two?"

Luo Gong thought for a long time before shaking his head:

"Hard to say."

This Pan Gong naturally took advantage of the fact that he was the river god of Weishui, but both of them have their own advantages.

Standing here like this, just thinking about it, it seems that a big drama of fighting for the throne has been created in my mind, and no matter who is the protagonist, it seems to be a wonderful story.

"I'll take this fish back first and keep it in a water tank. It's up to the Taoist priest how to eat it."

Luo Monk didn't think too much, and walked back to the yard with the fish. Not long after, he came out again and accompanied the two of them to eat a bowl of wontons outside.

Probably because of what happened last night, some words were written on the white wall near the door. Most of them were poems, most of which were about fireworks and the New Year's prosperity. The handwriting was of different sizes and was scattered horizontally and vertically. It was quite casual, but each line of words was different.

They are all beautifully written, and even Lin Jue's sentence last night, "There are so many wonderful things in this world, but not as good as sleeping drunkenly around the fire" is included in them.

It seems that these two really like poetry.

The three of them admired it for a while before going out.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked to the wonton stall, he bumped into Master Fan Tian who was coming back. He said that the Five Elements Spiritual Art had been delivered to his doorstep.
