On the night of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Linyun and Huang Yaoshi went out together to watch the Lantern Festival in Jingzhou.

The instruments of torture displayed in the previous two nights have not been completely removed, and they still occupy the position close to the city tower, giving the nearby lanterns a tinge of splendor.

The heavy snow around the New Year's Eve melted for seven days, and finally showed some signs of melting. In addition, the lights were bright these nights, so many people who had shrunk at home for a long time took the opportunity to come out to breathe.

When Xie Linyun and Huang Yaoshi came to the street, the city of Jingzhou was already quite lively, with row upon row of flower stalls, big and small, making people feel dazzled from afar.

When we got to the place with the most people, there were lights everywhere, making the hall as bright as day.

Noticing that many young girls were carrying lotus lanterns of the same style, Xie Linyun couldn't help being curious, is this also a unique custom in Chu?

As she walked along the crowd towards the moat, she turned her head and asked Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi shook his head and denied, "It's a custom everywhere to make a wish by lighting up lanterns."

When he talked about making a wish, Xie Linyun immediately remembered the scene of the sky lantern being lifted into the sky that the two of them had seen on New Year's Eve, and immediately said: "Don't you want to make a wish too, buy one and I will accompany you to release it."

Huang Yaoshi: "..."

He sighed silently, saying that the lamps used for wishing were all made by himself, and it would be dishonest to buy them directly.

Xie Linyun really said: "Is it so troublesome? It's just a wish."

Huang Yaoshi heard something in this sentence that maybe she didn't realize it, so she was silent for a long time before continuing: "It can be seen that you don't believe in gods and Buddhas."

Of course, Xie Linyun doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas. Before time-traveling, she was a young girl of the new era receiving socialist education. After time-traveling, the two people who had the greatest influence on her both went for the goal of breaking the void.

If you want to break the sky, then naturally you can't believe in the sky.

So her creed in life is also very simple, that is to become stronger, and then, like the teacher, hit the outer world.

But she feels that this does not prevent her from joining in the fun.Xie Linyun glanced at the water in front of him, spread out all kinds of hawkers selling wishing water lamps, parted the corners of his lips and said: "Then since we don't believe it, then don't care if you are sincere or not, buy two and just put them away." play."

After she finished speaking, she moved swiftly through the crowd and walked quickly to the river.

Huang Yaoshi stood where he was, looked behind her for a moment, and finally followed her.

Most of the lamps sold by lamp makers are styles that ordinary people can hardly make by themselves.

Xie Linyun squatted there and chose with great interest for a long time, and almost fell into difficulty in choosing. Seeing Huang Yaoshi coming, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve to let him choose for herself.

Huang Yaoshi glanced down and found that her aesthetics were really abnormal, almost all the color schemes she liked were the scene of a disaster.

He really couldn't wrong himself to pick out a good-looking one from here, so he could only say: "I think they are all about the same."

The stall owner saw that they were about the same age and stature, but their faces were not alike at all, so he misunderstood them as young lovers who came out for a date while the lantern festival was busy, and said with a smile: "Since there are two people, why don't you buy a pair, it's still cheap some."

Xie Linyun: "Really? Can it be cheaper?"

The stall owner immediately took out a pair of lamps from the cage behind him as if by magic, pushed them in front of her, took out a candle, lit them and put them in.

After the fire was lit inside, Xie Linyun finally saw what was painted on the lamp surface of the pair of lamps, which were two peach blossoms in full bloom.

She turned her head and asked Huang Yaoshi: "Then why don't you just buy these two?"

It may be that the ones I saw just now were too ugly, or it may be that the misunderstanding in the eyes of the stall owner was too obvious, Huang Yaoshi found that he could still accept the two peach blossom lanterns.

He hummed, agreeing.

After buying the lamp, Xie Linyun said to choose a good place to put it.

After collecting the money, the stall owner pointed to a willow tree on the right back and enthusiastically recommended it, saying that it is the most famous place for dating in Jingzhou, and that couples putting lanterns there can last forever.

Xie Linyun: "..." My friend, you misunderstood!

Huang Yaoshi coughed and said, "There are too many people there, go elsewhere."

But in such a grand event, where can we find a trace of tranquility? The two walked along the river for more than a quarter of an hour with their lamps in hand.

Xie Linyun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Although she came here to join in the fun, she didn't expect it to be so lively.

And she also knew that Huang Yaoshi was lonely and didn't like places with many people.

"Otherwise, let's cheat!" She suddenly thought of a way, stopped and turned to him.

"How to cheat?" Huang Yaoshi heard himself ask in the atmosphere of fireworks.

"Didn't it mean that the wish is the most likely to be fulfilled if the lantern is the farthest along the current?" Xie Linyun is really a person who doesn't respect the custom itself at all. It would be better if the place that had been burnt out before coming here would be fine."

Huang Yaoshi: "..." There is nothing wrong with her style.

However, surprisingly, he didn't feel disgusted or rejected, and only said: "That has to go a little further."

Xie Linyun knew that this meant agreeing, and immediately grinned: "It's too slow to walk in such a crowded place!"

After she finished speaking, she found a gap in the crowd, raised her breath sideways, and skimmed onto the river.

There are hundreds of lights floating in the not-so-broad moat, flowing eastward all the way, like a shining Bai Lian, she is stepping on the wind, standing above Bai Lian, the corners of her clothes and hair are blown up at the same time. The peach blossom lanterns on the river did not flicker at all, and it only took half a breath to attract most of the eyes by the river, almost dazzling the moon in the sky.

Huang Yaoshi heard the exclamations from the crowd in front of him and behind him, and also heard the beating of his own heart.

By the time he realized it, he had already flitted in her direction.

At the same time, under the city tower not far away, the bonsai fireworks prepared by the wealthy businessmen and gentry happened to be set off, pushing the festive atmosphere to its peak.

Together with Xie Linyun, he crossed the river and broke into the rushing and turbulent place.

Gradually, there are few lamps left under the feet, and the sound of people around is no longer, only the running water lapping on the shore.

It's time to put on the peach blossom lanterns.

The river section near the city is very open, and the speed of the flowing water is naturally much faster.

Two peach blossom lanterns entered the water and drifted away along the waves in a short while. Xie Linyun watched for a while, until one of them was knocked over by the waves, then looked back and sighed: "It seems that cheating really has no good end."

Huang Yaoshi laughed: "But no matter what, they can go farther than other lights."

It really doesn't look like what he said, Xie Linyun thought.Looking at his smile at the moment, there was no sarcasm at all, which surprised her: "I thought you would be unhappy after dragging you out for so long and being squeezed by people."

The second half of the sentence was said by Huang Yaoshi himself, and it was also a rare time for him to be honest.

He said no, he was happy.

Xie Linyun hummed, saying that was too rare.

"If only you were this happy every day." She began to make unrealistic wishes.

Huang Yaoshi had no choice but to ruthlessly break her fantasy: "Don't dream, I won't cook for you every day."

Xie Linyun: "..." Damn, is this person a roundworm in her stomach!She hasn't said anything yet!

After watching the Lantern Festival, Xie Linyun also followed the custom and put out the wishing lanterns. Xie Linyun felt that he had gathered a complete excitement and could go back.

The house she bought was in the west of Jingzhou City, quite far away from their current location, and the city was still bustling, so it took a lot of time to walk all the way.

To her surprise, Lan Tue had been waiting in the courtyard without resting.

Seeing them coming back, the girl jumped up from the stone table almost instantly, "Master Huang! Master Huang!"

Huang Yaoshi didn't get along with Lan Tui much, but he also knew her character. Hearing her speak in such a tone now, he knew that something important happened when he and Xie Linyun went out.

So the two looked at each other and walked over together.

"What's wrong?" Xie Linyun asked, "Did Miss Lin's condition change?"

"No, no." Lan Tui shook his head crazily, "Young lady is fine, and tonight, taking advantage of the good weather, she came out to give Master Ximen several tricks."

"That's it?" Xie Linyun was even more puzzled.

Lan Cui bit his lip, and glanced at the other side of the house, as if confirming something.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said softly: "About two quarters of an hour ago, when I got up at night, I accidentally heard Mrs. Ouyang and Ouyang Feng talking."

Xie Linyun was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Oh? What are they talking about?"

Lan Tui said: "Mrs. Ouyang said, tell Ouyang Feng not to worry. When she left the Western Regions, she notified her brother. If she doesn't return, her brother will definitely come to rescue them."

"She has a brother? Who is it?" Xie Linyun really didn't know.

It's a pity that Lan Cui couldn't answer this question. She lived in seclusion in the ancient tomb with Lin Chaoying before, and she didn't even know much about the things around Zhongnan Mountain, let alone the place so far away in the Western Regions.

She could only shake her head: "I don't know, but from her tone, her brother seems to be a very powerful person."

Xie Linyun turned to look at Huang Yaoshi: "Who are the powerful figures in the Western Regions?"

Huang Yaoshi was serious: "Your suitor in Luoyang."

This answer almost made Xie Linyun lose his expression.

And Huang Yaoshi continued: "But Madam Ouyang's kung fu obviously has nothing to do with Vulture Palace."

"Of course I can see that." Xie Linyun said unhappily, "So apart from the Vulture Palace, what other powers are there in the Western Regions? Mingjiao?"

"Mingjiao's disciples of the past few generations are not accepted, and nothing can make a difference." Huang Yaoshi denied this guess, "It cannot be a member of Mingjiao."

Who else could that be?

Xie Linyun couldn't think of it, so he didn't think about it anymore.

When the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, she didn't believe that Mrs. Ouyang's brother could surpass her.

"Forget it." She said, "Since she is so confident, when her brother comes over, I'll see how many times this man can support me."

Lan Cui: "Anyway, it's always good for the Lake Lord to be careful."

Although Xie Linyun didn't take it too seriously, she also knew that she came to remind him out of good intentions, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll save it."

Lan Chu went back to sleep worriedly.

As for Xie Linyun, she and Huang Yaoshi chatted a few more words in the courtyard before going back to their rooms.

In the next two days, the group of them simply packed their luggage, and then continued towards Dongting.

Because of Lan Cui's reminder, and because the journey was boring, Xie Linyun took a closer look at Mrs. Ouyang in the next trip.

This woman is very obedient, she doesn't make any noise on the road, most of the time, she hugs the child and coaxes the child softly, only occasionally when she gets angry, she will show some face to Ouyang Feng and scold a few words to pass it by. mouth addiction.

Because the journey was uneventful, she didn't have a chance to show off her kung fu, so Xie Linyun couldn't find out the origin of her kung fu, so she had to give up for now.

About half a month later, they finally arrived in Yueyang.

Hei Diao was fast, and went back ahead of time to inform Wuming, so as soon as Xie Linyun arrived at the gate of the city, he saw his own butler waiting there.

I haven't seen it for half a year, and Wuming has gained a lot of weight. Presumably, the cultivation and breeding on the island are getting better and better, and the food level has also been improved along the way.

Seeing that Xie Linyun was followed by three carriages, he came forward curiously and asked, "Could it be that the Lake Lord brought guests back?"

Xie Linyun groaned, saying that there were guests, but there were also subordinates who were recruiting him outside.

Nameless: "?" Suddenly being so nice to me?

Having said that, the uncles and sisters-in-law Ouyang from Baituo Mountain also got out of the car one after the other.

What Xie Linyun didn't expect was that when Wuming saw Ouyang Feng and Mrs. Ouyang, his eyes paused for a rare moment, as if he couldn't believe it.

"This... this is not from White Camel Mountain..." He asked Xie Linyun in a low voice, "Why did the lake master bring these two back?"

"Huh? Do you know him?" Xie Linyun raised his eyebrows.

"I know them, but they don't know me." Wuming said truthfully, "You know, I used to..."

Xie Linyun immediately understood that it was probably because he spent some time in Baituo Mountain without anyone noticing, trying to learn the Kung Fu of Baituo Mountain, just like what he did to Shangguan Jinhong in the past three years.

Her heart moved, and she said: "So, you have stayed in the Western Regions before."

Wuming said yes, he has been here for almost seven years.

Xie Linyun began to communicate with him through voice transmission with her internal force, and she asked him, "Then do you know who Mrs. Ouyang's elder brother is?"

Wuming reacted very quickly, and while leading them to the place where the boat stopped, he also used his internal force to reply through sound transmission: "...I know, I have fought against him before."

"Who?"

"His name is Yu Luocha, and he is the most mysterious expert in the Western Regions. No one in the Central Plains knows about it." Wuming paused, "About four years ago, the owner of the White Camel Villa got married. Sha, that is, the elder brother of the bride discovered the whereabouts and fought instead."

"You lost?" Xie Linyun guessed reasonably, "Then fled back to the Central Plains and started learning Shangguan Jinhong's martial arts?"

"No!" Wuming almost couldn't hold back his expression because of his excitement, "I fought with Yu Luosha for three days and three nights, and no one could do anything to anyone. Finally, we made an agreement that he would not use the power of his subordinates to deal with me, and I would not Staying at the White Camel Villa to secretly learn the martial arts of his brother-in-law's family, from now on, the well water will never violate the river water."

Xie Linyun: "..."

So Mrs. Ouyang's trump card is a brother who is about the same level as her housekeeper?

Damn, I've been looking forward to it for nothing!

With that said, they also arrived at the place where the boat stopped, and they were ready to board the boat into the lake.

Xie Linyun then ended his secret communication with his butler, and asked Lin Chaoying, Ximen and his son to board the boat first.

She and Huang Yaoshi followed behind, and the last one was Uncle Ouyang.

After boarding the boat, Wuming tentatively asked Xie Linyun, what about the others?He has never seen the others, who are they?

This time, Xie Linyun didn't use internal force to transmit the sound, but introduced him against the wind.

"This is Miss Lin and her maid, Lan Cui. Miss Lin used to live in Zhongnan Mountain. I brought her to Dongting to let her take good care of her health. You should remember to arrange a spacious and quiet place for them later."

Wuming immediately said yes, and he wrote it down.

"This is Mr. Ximen and his son. Mr. Ximen has worshiped Miss Lin as his teacher, and Mr. Ximen is going to take care of Miss Lin's health. They can live closer together."

Wuming continued to nod obediently, and then looked at Huang Yaoshi who was closest to her, waiting for her to continue.

Huang Yaoshi also wanted to know how Xie Linyun would introduce him, so he sat on the bow of the boat and glanced at her leisurely.

Then he heard the man cough, and said solemnly: "As for this one, he is my friend and my ancestor, and I have to coax him, so after he lives, no matter what you ask, you All have to be done."

Nameless: "???" So powerful? !

Huang Yaoshi: "..." What nonsense is this person talking about?

The author has something to say: Island Master Huang: I coax you more?
