On July 15th, sins are pardoned during the Zhongyuan Festival.

In the past, people in the imperial capital mostly worshipped their ancestors and performed rituals and offerings.

During that period, even my breathing was filled with sadness and sorrow.

But Abao's eyes were bright as he watched the Haimiao Lantern Festival on July 15th in Chuyue territory. The eerie and scary atmosphere was unexpectedly joyful and interesting.

Pursing his lips and smiling softly, Abao leaned on the windowsill with his hands, enjoying the warm sea breeze.

At this moment, the sky was filled with fireworks.

It lit up the night sky and also illuminated the white paper money falling with the fireworks.

From the second-floor window, A Bao stared in amazement at the countless white paper money burning and dancing in the wind.

As if bewitched at this moment, she stretched out her hand in a daze.

A piece of burning white paper money was blown by the wind and fell on her fingertips. At the moment the white paper money burned to ashes, a silver butterfly danced gracefully under her confused and astonished gaze.

The silver butterfly playfully circled around her fingertips, fluttering its wings lightly.

A Bao blinked his eyes and asked happily, "Where are you from?"

But the silver butterfly just circled around her fingertips and suddenly flew away.

A Bao followed the flying silver butterfly and looked in the distance.

The burning white paper money in the sky turned into dancing silver butterflies, flying over the crowd who were looking up, passing through the prosperous houses and courtyards of Yuezhou City, shining brightly like flowing silver, and flying towards the boundless and vast starry sky.

Suddenly, the crowd in the street burst into thunderous cheers.

Abao curiously leaned out of the window and looked over there following the line of sight of the crowd in the street below.

She was suddenly shocked.

The old street in the west of the city is still a long way from the sea.

Logically speaking, the sea surface cannot be seen.

But she happened to witness with her own eyes the red-hot magma surging on the calm sea surface.

Then, a giant mechanical being stepped out from the surging magma.

The giant mechanical figure looked very much like a deity in a temple, with his hands in a magic seal. He was nearly three meters tall, with eyes as bright as torches, majestic and ferocious, and golden, raging flames burning all over his body.

It illuminates the dark night sky, and there are silver butterflies all over the sky.

Wait until the giant mechanical man steps towards the Four Spirits Tower in the old street step by step.

Po was a little slow to notice that there was another person on the seal of the mechanical giant.

The young man in white robe sat on the giant seal, wearing a divine mask as bright as the clouds and moon, a high horsetail crown, and a scale armor forged from pure silver as white as the waves, and a long sword was placed horizontally in front of him.

Po didn't care who the young man was.

However, it was the long sword in the young man's hand that really attracted her.

The blade of the long sword was like a sharp shark tooth, which always made her feel familiar.

Burning white paper money was still falling all over the sky, constantly transforming into silver butterflies, some flying far away, some frolicking around the mechanical giant. At this moment, the mechanical giant, covered in waves of fire, stomped on the ground and happened to pass by the street window of the inn.

The young man looked at Abao intently with a look that showed neither sadness nor joy.

It was this indestructible look that made A Bao's heart suddenly tense, and he actually followed the gaze of the young man in silver armor and white robe, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

For some reason, she felt that the young man looked familiar.

Unfortunately, just a mask separating us is like a boundless sea and mountains.

Suddenly, fireworks exploded all over the sky again!

With every step that the giant mechanical being with flames burning all over its body took, brilliant golden sparks fell, took root on the ground, and blossomed into enchanting red flowers all over the street.

As the warm evening breeze blows, the red flowers sway gently, graceful and elegant.

Looking out the window of the inn, Abao felt as if he was in a field of flowers.

Suddenly, she remembered the road to the underworld covered with red spider lilies in the strange stories.

Along this Yellow Springs Road, the young man in silver armor and white robe walked further and further away.

Inexplicably, Abao had a hunch that she and the young man would meet again.

At this time, the inn waiter pushed the door open and brought tea and snacks.

Po stared at the young man in white robe and silver armor walking away and asked the waiter.

"Who is that?"

"That? That's Aquaman."

Hearing this, Po frowned and asked in confusion, "What exactly is Aquaman?"

"It's the son of Queen Hai! The king of Chu Yuehai!" The innkeeper kindly explained, "But the one you just saw was probably played by an actor from the opera troupe."

"The real Sea King ascended to heaven and became a god hundreds of years ago!"

"I see. Thanks for clearing up my confusion."

While thanking the innkeeper, Abao sighed secretly.

This Chuyue is truly a place of outstanding people and wonderful scenery, full of surprises.

In the past, I had only heard about the illusionary barrier in the land of Chuyue, and the Chuyue acrobats, who were all extremely powerful, specialized in the transformation of mechanisms and skilled in the illusion of shapeshifting.

Until yesterday morning, when she saw the long-lost enchantment illusion by chance. Only a day later, tonight, she witnessed the mechanical giant and the magnificent sea temple lantern festival with her own eyes, and realized that what was recorded in the ancient books was true.

Thinking of this, Abao couldn't help but admire it even more.

King Xuan really put a lot of effort into the grand Haimiao Lantern Festival every year.
