Chapter 83 Gaihuo Festival

Just like the previous box and the previous paper, Wenfunu had never seen such a lamp.

However, one thing he is sure of is this.

"This must be the work of the same craftsman, but where did so many rare treasures come from in Xihe County? They must have been left behind by the ancients."

Wen Fonu became more and more convinced that there might be some kind of big tomb in Xihe County.

Or the ancients left some treasures underground, which were found by these people and used as treasures left by gods to play tricks on gods and ghosts.

Wen Funu fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand, and his eyes changed.

seem.

I saw the other party's flaw again.

He was about to step forward when a small door on the left opened, and a group of witches and witches walked out of the side room.

Some people dress up like ghosts and gods, and some people wear flowing white clothes.

in.

A shadow wearing a mask walked in the front.

Wen Fonu knew at a glance that this was what the Yin Yang Taoists called a magical witch.

Wen Funu immediately straightened his chest and spine, holding up his slightly short stature, showing his innate nobility, and waited for the shaman to come over and salute him.

However, the tall-headed wizard passed by him, and his shadow crushed him.

Without even looking at him from beginning to end, he just walked through a door behind the altar and headed towards the depths of the bamboo forest and the direction of the cloud wall of Shougong Palace.

And behind him.

Wen Funu's face was stunned for a while, and then turned white and blue again.

When the figure walked past and disappeared on the other side, Wen Fonu squeezed out a sentence.

"It's really different from ordinary people, it's such a grand ceremony."

Wen Fonu's blood surged, but he warned himself in his heart.

"Be magnanimous and magnanimous."

"Don't argue with these country folk and wild witches."

Sacrifice to the witches: "Today's Cold Food Festival, the gods and witches are all focused on the sacrifice."

Wen Funu said in his heart: "Pretend."

But he said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Of course, what he won't admit in his heart is.

As the son of the Lucheng County Prince, he was born with noble status and pride, but some congenital defects made him feel inferior.

On weekdays, he despises those tall people who hold their heads high in front of him, so he always stands on a high place, and always uses his authority to suppress others and bend down to salute, making everyone look down on him.

But now, this wizard is the kind of person he dislikes very much, and his attitude is so "arrogant".

If I didn't still have some curiosity in my heart, I would like to know where these strange things come from.

According to his usual temper.

He throws away his hands and leaves now, and then he will ruthlessly manipulate those who dare to show off in front of him.

But at this moment he still stayed, but he couldn't help but said something.

Wen Funu looked around: "It's dark, why don't you light more lights?"

The priest opened his mouth, and the Yin Yang Taoist replied: "Fire is prohibited during the cold food season, so no lamps can be lit."

Of course Wen Funu knew this, but he deliberately asked: "Then why did you only light such a lamp?"

But the priest said: "There is no fire in this lamp."

Wen Funu smiled: "How can the lamp light up if there is no fire?"

The priest's next answer was even stranger: "Because this lamp is filled with moonlight from the sky."

Wen Funu laughed even harder, being stimulated by the rebuttals one after another. He was somewhat fed up with these people's pretentiousness and pretentiousness.

Wen Funu: "Oh, so this is another gift from the gods?"

Ji Wu: "Yes."

Wen Funu: "Then I have to take a good look."

Sacrificial witch: "This..."

Wen Funu: “Can’t you see it?”

The sacrificial witch said: "It's okay if you just look at it, but the shaman will hold it up to attract ghosts next. Wen Sima must not touch it with his hands."

Wen Funu: "So what if I touch it?"

Sacrifice to the witch: "I may be targeted by ghosts and gods."

Also mention ghosts and gods.

Wen Funu raised the corners of his mouth, and his scornful attitude could be said to be no longer so secretive.

Wen Funu stepped forward and raised his head, looking at the lamp carefully.

Wen Funu: "This lamp still feels a little warm when I get close to it. There must be a fire candle inside. Are you deceiving me?"

Sacrifice to the witch: "Wen Sima, please take a closer look."

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and the lamp swayed accordingly.

Wen Fonu's eyes immediately focused, staring at the lamp, but he found that no matter how the lamp shook, the fire inside remained motionless.

Wen Fonu finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to touch it.

He brushed the lamp handle with his hand and bumped it. It made a crisp sound as if it had touched something, and then the lamp immediately went out.

Wen Fonu was overjoyed and said loudly.

"It's out, it's out, and you still say it's not a fire?"

At this time, the priest extended his hand.

Put it gently on the handle.

Clicked.

"Click."

Immediately I saw that the beautiful lantern lit up again in an instant.

"Well?"

This moment made Wen Funu a little confused and stunned for a while.

The witch said: "Wen Sima, this lamp is filled with moonlight. It can illuminate itself without being lit by a candle."

Wen Funu: "It must have flint inside."

Hearing Wen Fulu's stubborn guess, Ji Wu and Yin Yang Taoist looked at each other and shook their heads.

Finally, after listening to the priest shaman talk about some secrets of this heavenly object called the Moon Shadow Glazed Lamp, Taoist Yin Yang raised his hand again.

"No, no."

The old Taoist pointed to the moon shadow glazed lamp and told Wen Funu on behalf of the witch.

"There is no lamp oil in this lamp, and there is no need for lamp oil."

Wen Fu Nu: "No lamp oil?"

The sacrificial witch took down the lamp and carried it in front of Wen Fonu.

The gentle light like the moon casts on the face, illuminating the outlines of the three people.

Beautiful and colorful patterns appear on the lampshade.

Through the crystal lampshade, they could clearly see the inner structure.

You can see that there is nothing else inside except a round, golden ball of light.

There was indeed no lamp oil inside.

And not only that, there is no outlet for air. If there is really a fire inside, it will be impossible to burn if it is sealed.

No matter how Wen Fonu looked at it, he didn't understand what the principle was.

but.

Having become completely rebellious, he firmly believed that this was a scam done by everyone in Xihe County to create auspiciousness.

In order to get promoted and make a fortune, these people made layer-by-layer designs in order to fool the people.

"Perhaps the lamp oil was hidden in the handle, or perhaps the glowing thing was a ball of ointment that burned out and then went out."

"Perhaps the vent is a trick, hidden in some other place that is hard to find at first sight."

He kept thinking and pointed out one possibility after another.

However, what we received were only the tricks of the old master.

"No, no."

"No, no..."

Dismiss all his guesses.

Under the light of the moonlight glazed lamp.

Wen Funu's face was already very bad. His face turned as red as a pig's liver, and his prayer beads were about to break. In the end, he couldn't say anything anymore.

However, being speechless does not mean that he already believes it, but it means that he is more persistent.

"This must be a group of pretenders."

"I don't know where I got some artifacts made by skilled craftsmen, but I can't see the hidden mechanism in them."

But now that they are here, Wen Funu also begins to hesitate, whether to turn around and leave, or to play with these pretenders to the end, and then completely expose their tricks.

At this time, the sound of Wu Jin knocking on a bronze chime was heard in the darkness.

"Dang!"

"Three quarters of the hour."

After the priest heard the sound of the chime, he immediately said to the Yin Yang Taoist and Wen Fu Nu beside him.

"Next, I'm going to follow the magic witch to host the big ceremony to change the fire, so I'll excuse you."

Taoist Yin Yang immediately became excited and looked at the height of the divine peak and said.

"Is it going to start now?"

"Finally, I can see the mystery of Cloud Wall again."

Taoist Yin Yang couldn't wait to catch up, even forgetting Wen Fu Nu behind him for a while. He came over for a while before coming back to greet him.

"Wen Sima, come with me quickly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Wen Funu finally suppressed his desire to turn around and leave, and followed the Yin Yang Taoist to higher ground.

"It's all here."

"Then let's see what tricks these people are playing on this cloud wall."

"Everything else can be faked. I'll see how you can fake this ghost."

The more absurd and bizarre something is, the easier it is to reveal flaws.

With such bragging and pretentiousness, he would like to see how these people end up later.

The sacrificial witch carried the moon shadow glazed lamp, and the group of witches followed him to the longevity palace. When they arrived at the square in front of the longevity palace, the sacrificial witch personally handed the lamp back to its owner, the divine witch.

At this moment, there is still a bonfire burning in front of the longevity palace, which is also the only flame on the mountain at this moment.

This is the old fire from last year.

The witches are already prepared, waiting for the time to extinguish the old fire, and then rekindle it at dawn. This is the meaning of changing the fire.

——

In front of the longevity palace.

A group of witches dressed in different costumes turned into human ghosts and danced around the bonfire.

The witch shadows are in a frenzy, accompanied by music and ancient poems sung by the sounds of the mountains.

Some people watched with gusto, some waited with great anticipation, and some looked impatiently at the interior of the longevity palace.

It was Wen Funu who was impatient. He was not here to see this great dancer.

A quarter of an hour passed, and hour after hour disappeared under the bonfire and the shadow of the witch, and Wen Funu became more and more irritable.

"Where is this ghost?"

"What about the Yin and Yang realms?"

"Are you afraid of something unexpected?"

"When exactly does it start?"

Wen Funu looked dissatisfied at the Taoist Yin Yang aside, but found that the Taoist's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so excited, as if he had taken medicine.

Wen Funu's expression was astonished. He didn't know what the old man was excited about, but looking at the other man's crazy look, he also started to murmur.

Could it be?

Just like that, I waited until midnight.

Wen Funu's eyes were bloodshot, his neck and the back of his head were blown like a piece of wood by the cold wind, and when his head was about to explode due to the shamanic shadow and flames, he finally heard a chime sound.

Wu Jin struck the bronze chime: "Dang!"

The sacrificial witch wearing a straw crown: "Turn off the flames!"

Then, the witchcraft sounded again.

"Dang!"

"The hour has come."

"Replace the old fire and welcome the new fire."

Following the first chime of the bronze chime, Wen Fonu stood up suddenly and looked at the longevity palace deep in the flames with bloodshot red eyes.

like.

He is about to turn into a demon.

Wen Fonu turned the beads violently. Only in this way could he suppress the "evil ghost" surging in his chest, but he had already begun to curse in his heart.

"My maidservant, you'd better come up with a big battle array for me."

"You have troubled me so much all night, even if you want to fool me, you still have to fool me."

"Even if you are afraid of something unexpected, you'd better bring out some evil spirits for me."

Otherwise, he will turn into an evil ghost and eat all these guys.

At this moment, only the remaining fuel was left in the originally tall bonfire.

And as the remaining fuel was completely extinguished artificially, everything around it was completely plunged into darkness.

And in folklore.

The old fire from last year is extinguished during the Cold Food Festival, and all the ghosts and ghosts in the dark will come out.

But at this time, the masked wizard held a lamp and turned into the brightest light source under the night sky.

It even overshadowed the stars and moon above our heads.

It also enveloped everyone present at the venue.

With the dull sound of pushing the door open, the door of the longevity palace finally opened, and the shaman stepped in holding the moon shadow glazed lamp high, followed closely by the group of witches.

Wen Fonu followed Taoist Yin Yang into the Longevity Palace, and he finally saw the jade clearly under the moonlight glazed lamp.

Everyone stood neatly under the jade, looking up.

Wen Fonu: "Is this the cloud wall?"

His eyes widened even more, staring at the piece of jade as if he was possessed by a demon.

But the fire had gone out, the door had opened, and the jade wall appeared in front of us.

Waited for a long time.

There was no movement at all.

There was nothing but the cold wind that made my neck ache at night.

The scene was deathly silent.

This time.

After squatting all night in the cold wind, I was suffocating a lot of fire, which suddenly came from Wen Fu Nu's stomach to his forehead.

That's it?

That's it?

That’s it!!!!

Wen Funu felt that the angry-eyed Vajra was coming, and he could no longer suppress the raging evil spirits in his stomach. He violently turned the prayer beads in his hand, as if he was rubbing out fire.

At the same time, he turned his head and looked viciously at the Yin Yang Taoist beside him.

"Is this the place where gods and humans meet, the place where the gates of yin and yang open wide?"

"This is the place that can open the door to heaven and lead to the Nine Netherworlds?"

"Are you still afraid of something unexpected?"

"return……"

Then after entering the Longevity Palace, Master Yin Yang's expression had already become more and more excited, because he had just secretly swallowed a pill. At this moment, his expression was almost crazy and he was standing on tiptoe, his eyes only filled with desire for the underworld of life and death.

When Wen Funu asked this question, he immediately put up his fingers to cover his lips.

"Shh!"

Then he raised his hand again and whispered to Wen Fonu.

"No, no."

"This is just..."

But at this moment, he didn't know that the word Feiye could no longer be said.

Wen Sima, who was already on the verge of an explosion, a stocky man from Tianhuang noble family, was suddenly agitated by this sentence, as if these two words were a curse that turned into an evil ghost.

Wen Funu's face immediately turned crimson red, and his hair exploded as he almost tipped his hat up.

He raised his hand high and even the beads in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Precious Buddhist beads scattered one by one, and continued to scatter around along the stone slab.

And a sentence came out from Wen Fonu's mouth.

"I am not your mother."

At this time, everyone in the longevity palace looked at him, and their eyes were cast on Wen Fonu, but no one said a word.

But Wen Funu was determined not to endure it anymore, and no longer cared about the noble Tianhuang's temperament. The son of the dignified prince was fooled like a fool, and then stayed behind all night, waiting for most of the night.

Something like this came out.

I can't bear it anymore and there is no need to bear it anymore.

Wen Funu rushed to the front, passed through the slightly fluttering translucent gauze curtains, and came directly to the cloud wall.

Then he looked at everyone in front of the cloud wall and said while breathing heavily.

"Pretend one by one."

"I know that you all were ordered by Jia Gui, the magistrate of Naxihe County, to falsely report that Xiangrui is here to act like a ghost."

"Everyone is colluding with each other and pretending here. I have already seen it, so don't pretend anymore."

Wen Funu waved his hand, full of aura, seeming to suppress the entire scene.

He said very firmly.

"When I learned about the deeds of Taoist Jin'ao from Lucheng County, I probably started to lay out this plan, leading me to Ziyun Peak, and then arranged some villagers and mountain people to put on a show in front of me along the way."

"Each one is really painstaking!"

"You even took out a lot of treasures made with strange skills and you don't know where they came from. Do you think you can deceive me in this way?"

"Tell me."

"I am the son of the King of Lucheng County and a close relative of the clan. How can I be deceived by you and me?"

"Before I came here, I had already guessed your tactics. I just couldn't bear to be implicated in Xihe County Magistrate Jia Gui's greedy behavior, so I wanted to give you a chance."

"Now it seems that you are stubborn and unrepentant."

Wen Funu looked at everyone coldly with raised eyebrows, took a deep breath, stiffened his cheeks and puffed out his chest and said.

"Now, I'll give you one last chance. If I recruit you honestly, I can intercede for you."

"If not, you will have no choice but to die."

After saying these words, most of the evil anger in his chest was finally vented.

He talked a lot, his voice full of anger.

Seeing everyone present being silent and dumbfounded, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and comfort in my chest.

"You must have been shocked by my righteous words!"

At this time, a buzzing sound like ocean waves suddenly came from behind Wen Fonu.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a vast brilliance spread down.

Wen Fonu stood in front of the cloud wall, and the light made his tall, righteous, and powerful figure rush forward from behind, passing through the palace with layers of gauze curtains, and pouring into the mountains and fields.

In an instant, day and night were reversed.

Wen Funu's expression was frozen for a moment.

There was an unexplained confusion in his eyes.

Although he couldn't see the scene behind him, he knew that this was definitely not something that could be done by any pretense.

Because behind him.

It was like a bright sun rising.
