The magical system of the elf world

Chapter 73 The Summer Festival at Maiden Gorge
On the second day of arriving at the pier, the dusk had slowly dissipated.

Father Sun, who was about to fall below the sea level, seemed a little bit reluctant. Looking at the lively scene at the temple fair, he kept saying: "No, I don't want to go into the sea, I just take a look, let me take another look!" It seemed very unwilling, but still persisted tenaciously.

I just came out of the Spirit Center and was on the festival street. I was buying two small octopus balls from the stall. I was holding Xiaoliang and Meiyi who were eating, when I heard footsteps behind me, and then a familiar voice came.

"Small light!"

Looking at Lalu Lasi who ate a small octopus ball and showed an expression of enjoyment, Xiao Liang was very happy.When Xiao Liang heard someone calling his name, He Mei turned around and looked behind.

It turned out to be Xiaozhi and the others.

"It's Xiaozhi, what a coincidence!" Xiaoliang smiled at Xiaozhi, sure enough, Xiaozhi's figure would not be missing in such a scene. "You also came here to visit the temple fair."

"Wanderer back to the boat ~ Wanfu Jinan!" Xiaozhi saw Xiaoliang and Mei Yi turn around, but bowed very politely to Xiaoliang and the others, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang beside him did the same, even Xiaozhi's shoulder The Pikachu on the board also imitated them and bowed, yelling "Pika Pika".

Xiao Liang didn't know why, so Lalu Lasi was a little curious, but the owner didn't move, and it didn't move either.And Mei seems to be frightened by the actions of the three of Xiaozhi and the others, and hastily bowed in return.Mei's Kino chinchilla has been taken back by her poke ball, otherwise she might return the gift with Mei.

"What's the matter with you, so polite?" Mei asked them strangely after returning the salute.

Xiao Liang looked at Xiao Zhi and the others with a speechless face. When I went to the temple fair with Mei last night, I saw many people greeting and bowing like this.But it was after sunset, and they only greeted each other when they met acquaintances or friends after the temple fair started.And now the temple fair has not officially started, so there is no doubt that the three of them are imitating others.

"Ah, don't you guys know?" Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoliang and Mei with some complacency, and then pretended to be mysterious, "This is a tradition at the summer festival and temple fair in Maiden Gorge!"

"Tradition? But why is there such a tradition?" Mei immediately asked curiously.

"Uh, because..." Xiaozhi was suddenly stopped by the question, and then looked at Xiao Gang who usually seemed to know everything, as if to let him save the situation.

"Okay, Xiaozhi, I can't say it now!" Xiaoxia shook her head at Xiaozhi, "I obviously don't understand, but I still pretend to understand. Xiaoliang Meiyi, we are going to the front now. Let’s see a treasure in the girl’s gorge, where you can know why there is such a tradition, do you want to go together?”

"That's right." Although Xiaozhi didn't get Xiaogang's rescue, but Xiaoxia made things round, he nodded repeatedly, scratched his head, and said to Xiaoliang with a smile. "Xiao Liang Mei, you two go to see the treasure together!"

"Girl's Gorge?..." Xiao Liang glanced around and nodded to Xiao Zhi.Because he and Mei didn't come here by a communication ship, but walked directly into the pier, so they haven't seen what the Maiden Gorge standing by the sea looks like.

But Xiaozhi and the others came here directly from Rampurqi City by a communication ship. Someone should have told them the precautions for the summer festival temple fair and mentioned this legend.

"I heard that there is an extremely romantic legend in Maiden Gorge!" Xiaoxia said expectantly.

"Ah, such an incomparably romantic legend!" When Mei heard Xiaoxia's words, she was immediately attracted, and raised her cute eyes to look at Xiaoliang.

"Okay, then let's go and have a look together, I also want to hear what is the legend of Maiden's Gorge?" Xiao Liang smiled and rubbed Mei's hair, nodded to Xiaozhi and the others, indicating that he and Mei also went to Maiden's Gorge together Look over there.

Xiao Liang, Mei, Xiao Zhi and the others followed the people heading to the pier and came to the pier.

At this time, the sea water on the side of the pier was already glowing red under the light of the setting sun that was about to set, and there were bursts of waves on the sea surface, making the scenery pleasant.

In front of the pier, at a distance of about 15 meters, stands a human-shaped rock. The human-shaped stone statue on the rock is about the size of a young girl.

Looking from the place where Xiaoliang and Mei stood, the facial features of the stone statue were already blurred, perhaps because the years had left countless marks on her body, and it was impossible to see clearly.There seems to be an atmosphere of sad prayer around the stone statue, which makes it easy for everyone who has seen the stone statue to remember it.

Not far from the stone statue is a shrine built on the pier, where many people have already gathered.

Xiaozhi and the others had already seen this stone statue before, and after seeing the situation at the shrine, they hurried over there.

Seeing this situation, Xiaoliang and Mei looked at the stone statue again, and followed Xiaozhi and the others towards the shrine.

When I approached the shrine, I saw a very old man with white hair standing at the gate above the shrine. There was a shelf behind him, which was firmly covered with a red cloth.However, the shrine is more than one meter above the ground, even if Xiao Liang and the others stand behind, they can clearly see the situation of the shrine in front.This factor must have been considered when the shrine was first established.

"It's about to start!" The old man above the shrine shouted towards the bottom, and the people talking nearby quickly fell silent.

The old man stretched out his hand, pointed to the shelf covered by the red cloth, and introduced it to people. "This painting is a treasure handed down by the shrine more than 2000 years ago. The shrine will only show it once a year at the summer festival. Please enjoy it to your heart's content, all guests who come from afar!"

call! !

As soon as the old man's words fell, he pulled off the red cloth that was covering it, revealing the mysterious appearance of the treasure.

"Wow!!!"

"This!!"

"It is really!"

"It's really beautiful!"

"Is this the girl?"

"What a beautiful girl!"

As the red cloth was lowered, the exposed paintings immediately caught people's eyes.Through everyone's eyes, you can see a very beautiful girl holding her hands tightly and praying on her chest.

The girl's facial features were extremely delicate, her purple eyes and expression revealed deep expectations, and behind her was a violent storm.The hem of her skirt fluttered with the strong wind, but even so, her expression still revealed deep expectations and deep sadness...

What a heartbreaking scene!
"This girl, actually passed away before 2000..." When everyone was still immersed in the girl's sadness, the old man started every ceremony with his unique and extremely sad tone. Tell a girl's story.

"The girl has a person she likes, but the person she likes has gone to sea on a boat to fight..."

"So, the girl has been waiting, she waited and waited...she has been waiting for the man she likes to return. But that man did not return in the end..."

"The girl was waiting for a long time, endlessly... Legend has it that she finally turned into a rock, and she is still waiting for that person until now..."

"People were very moved. In order to help the girl realize her long-cherished wish, they conveyed the proverb 'Wandering back to the boat, Wanfu Jin'an' when they met. Over time, this sentence became the mantra of the summer festival..."

"This is the legend of Maiden Gorge for more than 2000 years..."

After the old man finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that didn't exist in the corner of his eyes.

As the old man finished his sad words, the sunset also slowly set towards the distant sea, and the red sunset glow brought a touch of festive color to the sad shrine.

After listening to the legend of Maiden Gorge, some people were shocked, and some sighed deeply. After thanking the old man, they all walked towards the street where the temple fair was held.

Because tonight is the last night of the summer festival, it is the most lively!

On Temple Fair Street, the vendors who watched the people coming and going yelled harder than before.

People are playing in the street, or tasting all kinds of snacks, talking with familiar friends they meet, watching performances and so on.

"Wanderer returns to the boat ~ Wanfu Jinan!" People who are playing on the street, if they meet someone they are familiar with, say these words to each other, and then bow slightly to each other.

After the sun went down, there was a young girl leaning against the guardrail on the pier, looking very lonely.The girl looked at the bustling street not far away, but she showed a lonely expression.

On the street of the temple fair not far from the girl, the performance of the summer festival began.

An acrobatic troupe composed of elves and people is performing, sometimes people and elves spew flames together, sometimes fire elves jump through the fire ring, and sometimes people direct the elves to make various difficult movements, attracting people around They all applauded.

The little girl, Mei, cheered excitedly, her face was flushed, and after seeing the wonderful performance, she kept patting her palms, and soon became on the phone...

Fortunately, Lalu Lasi did not imitate her this time, but happily called "Lalu, Lalu!", it seems that little Lalu Lasi also likes this kind of lively scene!
Xiaozhi's performance was very bad, he not only clapped his hands but also yelled, really...

Xiao Liang's performance was very good. Seeing the wonderful performance, he just nodded in appreciation, with a happy smile on his face.However, he didn't nod in approval when Liuwei of the fire department showed the performance of jumping through the fire hoop, let alone cheer like those people.He said, what's so interesting about fire-type elves jumping through the fire ring? If you have the ability, let the grass-type elves jump and watch!

……

After the performance, people spontaneously gathered at the pier, ready to watch the last program of the temple fair.The streets are filled with all kinds of fireworks, and the most grand fireworks show of the summer festival is about to begin!

"Woo... bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

……

"Woo... bang"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Wow, what a beautiful firework, so beautiful!" Mei sighed looking at the beautiful fireworks rising and exploding in the night sky, and the same scene was reflected in her eyes.

Xiao Liang, Mei and Lalu Lasi leaned against the guardrail of the pier, admiring the last beautiful moment of the summer festival with the people.

People on the pier gathered together, watching the beautiful fireworks rising slowly in their mouths, showing its most beautiful side, and could not help but express admiration, surprise and blessing words, or talk about the beautiful fireworks in front of them with friends around them.

Outside the guardrail of the pier is the endless sea.

At this time, with the fireworks blooming, the waves made soft sounds, and the summer sea breeze seemed to be cooler at this moment. The sea breeze blew over Xiaoliang's handsome face, and Mei's twin ponytail hair was also gently blown. Lalu's overly long clothes were also blown up, and it even stirred up ripples in the girl's heart.

"Wow, Ah Liang..."

At some point, a girl sitting on the guardrail sighed happily: "This year's summer festival temple fair is even more lively than usual!"

Squinting her big lavender eyes and wearing a light blue one-piece floor-to-ceiling skirt, she is sitting on the railing at the moment swinging the pair of light blue cloth shoes.The girl's pretty face is filled with a smile of joy and gratitude from the heart, even the fireworks that are blooming in the sky right now cannot be compared with it.

Standing next to the girl was Xiao Liang who was looking up at the fireworks.

"Yes, this year's summer festival temple fair is even more lively than usual!"

I don't know whether he was responding to Mei, or vaguely sensed the girl's existence, Xiaoliang looked at the fireworks with a smile, and sighed in the same way.

Lalu Lasi on Xiaoliang's shoulder seemed to sense the girl's existence, and glanced towards her.However, Lalu Lasi's own level is too low. She only knows the existence of the girl, but cannot see her.Feeling the joy in the girl's heart, Lalu Lasi also made a voice of approval.

"Lalu!"

"Hey, did Xiao Liang come here to watch the fireworks before?" Mei asked curiously when she heard Xiao Liang's exclamation.

"No, this is the first time I've been here to watch fireworks. I just let out such an exclamation for some reason!" Xiaoliang also felt a little puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart, and then enjoyed the fireworks with Mei, because the fireworks would be very fast. It's over.

"It would be great if my mother, elder brother and father were here to watch such a lively scene! I don't know how the relatives in the other world are doing? Forget it, I can't go back, so I won't think about those anymore "Xiao Liang looked at the scene in front of him, but introverted, he thought of his family in this elf world, as well as his distant relatives whom he had not seen for 15 years.Then he shook his head, he had already come to the world of elves, so cherish the present and stop thinking about those unreachable things.

As soon as this thought was let go, Xiao Liang finally let go of the past and truly integrated into the world of elves.

Looking at the fireworks in the starry sky, Xiao Liang showed a knowing smile on his face. If someone familiar saw it, they would find that there was more emotion in this smile than before.

At this time, Xiao Liang also received a notification from the system.
