I asked you to tell divination, but I didn’t ask you to catch ghosts.

"Am I not suitable for wearing such clothes?" The man saw Xie Zhiyao's surprised eyes and pulled his clothes awkwardly. He had only seen people who mistakenly entered the City of the Past wearing such clothes.

Sometimes he would look at those people with envy, but he was dismissed as a beggar, but he was really not a beggar!

"No, your clothes fit you very well. I'll give these clothes to you. It's useless for me to keep them anyway." Xie Zhiyao said generously. Anyway, Ye Fan has so many clothes. Since he can't wear them all, he might as well give them to those in need. people!

"Really? You are such a good person!" The man lowered his head happily and arranged his clothes.

Unexpectedly, she also got a good person card. Xie Zhiyao twitched her lips. No one had said that she was a good person for a long time!

The man said that his name was A Xuan, and he had lived in the City of the Past since he was a child. He didn't know who his parents were, so he grew up wandering in the city.

"Then how old are you this year?" Xie Zhiyao asked doubtfully. He looked like he was in his twenties, could it be that he was actually very young?

"I don't remember. I just know that I have been here since I can remember." Ah Xuan led the way. Hearing this, he just shook his head to express that he did not remember.

The city is indeed very beautiful, with beautiful lanterns everywhere, but so many people I saw outside just now are gone when I come in.

"Strange, where have all the people in the city gone?" Xie Zhiyao looked at the stalls that were still steaming. Maybe the stall owners were still selling things here just now.

But something suddenly happened and she left without even paying attention to the stall.

"Perhaps you went to watch the lantern competition? The lantern competition in the city is very famous. If you become the first place, the city lord will grant a wish, no matter what the wish is." Ah Xuan casually picked up a lantern from a stall The lotus lantern was handed to Xie Zhiyao next to him.

"Can't we just take it like this?" He said this, but his body still took it honestly.

The reason is simply that this lotus lantern is so beautiful! Just like a freshly picked lotus, it looks lifelike!

"There's nothing wrong with it. During the Lantern Festival, you can take any lanterns from the stalls and enter the competition venue with them. If a shop owner recognizes his lantern, he will be very happy, because the things he made will be liked by others. , is the greatest encouragement to artists." Ah Xuan also picked a lantern, which looked like a rabbit.

There are also four wheels, which can be placed on the ground and pulled along. It is also made very vivid, as if the rabbit would accidentally jump away.

The layout of the city at night is different from that of the ancient town during the day. For example, the venue for the lantern competition is right in the center of the city, just across a few streets.

But during the day, the streets were not connected together, and some places were blocked, as if they were covering up some secret.

Sure enough, there are many people here, wearing all kinds of clothes, from ancient times to the present, as if people from different time and space are meeting in the same place.

And those people all held lanterns in their hands, no matter whether they were men, women, old or young. Maybe it was true as Ah Xuan said, lanterns are just tickets. Only with lanterns can you enter the competition venue and watch this year's lantern competition.

However, at this moment, Xie Zhiyao suddenly saw a familiar person. Wasn't that the anchor who was at the door just now? When did he come in? Why didn't she notice it at all?

"Welcome everyone to participate in this year's lantern competition. Old friends know our rules, but new friends don't, so I still want to say a few words."

Suddenly a man wearing a bright red wedding dress appeared on the terrace, with a white smiling mask on his face. He looked very much like an ancient groom.

But I didn’t expect that I would become the host here? Xie Zhiyao was really afraid that a woman in wedding clothes would come out later, and then the two of them would worship directly on the stage!

She involuntarily took a step back, but bumped into Ah Xuan behind her. She apologized embarrassingly.

"It doesn't matter, do we want to participate in the competition too?" Ah Xuan said eagerly, holding the rabbit lantern in his hand.

"But don't you have to use your own lanterns to participate in the competition? Don't we get these from the stalls outside?" Xie Zhiyao also wanted to participate in the competition, but she couldn't make lanterns!

If you use the lanterns on the stalls outside to compete, wouldn't you be seen through at a glance?

"I can do it. I've helped make lanterns since I was a child to make ends meet." Ah Xuan smiled and took Xie Zhiyao to the registration office.

The previous anchor has already signed up. If he is really an evil cultivator, it is not difficult to see what his purpose is.

Because they signed up late, Xie Zhiyao and Ah Xuan were among the last, which meant that their time depended on how many people were in front of them.

"If you win the game, your wish will be fulfilled. What if you lose? What will be the punishment?" Xie Zhiyao asked doubtfully. Since there is a reward for winning, there will also be a punishment for losing, right?

And this is the City of the Past, so the punishment should be very severe. Xie Zhiyao thought worriedly. She didn't have many talismans with her now. What should she do if something happened?

Now that I have Ah Xuan with me, I can't be careless. Otherwise, what if I have lived here happily for more than 20 years, but because of her appearance, I have caused misery to my family?

"We won't lose, don't worry." Ah Xuan gave Xie Zhiyao a calm look, then took two lanterns and opened them.

There is a display session on the stage. Each contestant will hold his or her own lantern and introduce it to the audience in detail. Of course, the most important thing is its practicality.

The flashy ones had long been eliminated, but what puzzled Xie Zhiyao was that she didn't see where those eliminated went.

Ah Xuan's fingers were very slender. When weaving the lantern frame, his fingers moved very quickly. In a short while, the skeleton was completed.

Now there is the most important point, paper on the outside of the lanterns, but where are they going to find paper in this place?

Xie Zhiyao touched the talisman paper in her pocket. Should she use this to make a lantern? But there aren’t many talismans, so I can’t do it at all!

If she had known she was going to make a lantern, she would have stuffed more white paper inside the jade gourd!

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to come in! Why are you so disobedient?" Ye Fan was looking for clues, but found a living person squatting on the ground. He came over in confusion and found that he was still an acquaintance!

"Eh? Ye Fan, you are here. Do you have any paper on you? We are making lanterns!" Xie Zhiyao asked in surprise. She knew that Ye Fan usually brought some strange things with him.

Maybe this time, I can bring out the blank paper they need!

Making lanterns? Ye Fan looked at Ah Xuan next to Xie Zhiyao, and then pulled Xie Zhiyao behind him. This person is not a human, not a demon, not a ghost! What's the origin?

"My sister accidentally broke into the City of Rebirth, which was unintentional, so I want to take her out now." Ye Fan nodded to Ah Xuan and was about to leave with Xie Zhiyao.

"After registering for the competition, you cannot leave midway, otherwise you will stay here forever." Ah Xuan raised his head and glanced at Ye Fan, then turned his attention to Xie Zhiyao.

He didn't want to let Xie Zhiyao leave now. After all, no one had shown kindness to him for a long time.
