"Sister Qinglian, today is the Lantern Festival of Qian Country. Don't hold it in the house all the time. Let's go out and play."
In the courtyard, Li Sasa took Qinglian's arm and tried to pull her out.
Today is the Lantern Festival of Qian Country.
The Lantern Festival of Qian Country has a more widely known name - "Lovesickness Festival".
When Chen Lu heard about the "Lovesickness Festival" for the first time, Chen Lu thought, isn't this the Chinese Valentine's Day?
There is no Cowherd and Weaver Girl in this world, but there are stories similar to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
Rumor has it that a man and a woman fell in love.
The woman is an ordinary person and the man is a monk.
The man has a very high talent for cultivation. Once he reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can achieve immortality by just taking a pill.
But the man refused because she was still in the world.
But the woman doesn't want to delay her sweetheart from becoming a fairy because of herself.
One night, the woman ground the elixir into pieces and mixed it into the man's tea cup.
After drinking the elixir, the man became an immortal.
After that, immortality and mortal world were separated.
But the woman has no regrets.
Every year, women release lanterns to pray to the sky to express their longing for each other.
"Sasa, I won't go," Qinglian refused.
"Sister Qinglian, don't worry. Although Brother Chen is already on his way back, calculating the time, it will take at least five or six days.
Brother Chen won't be back tonight.
Besides, this is the annual Lovesickness Festival. Sister Qinglian, you have been holding back this time for too long.
Let’s go, let’s go”
Although Li Sasa doesn't like to attend crowded and lively places.
But Li Sasa feels that Sister Qinglian has been too dull during this period, and if this continues, there will be problems with her Taoist heart.
Unable to resist Sasa, Qinglian had no choice but to go out with Sasa.
On the streets of Pingyang City, there is an endless stream of stalls, vendors, and people coming and going.
Various places were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and many girls from good families could be seen coming out to have private meetings with their sweethearts.
Qinglian and Sasa held hands with each other for fear of getting lost.
"Hurry to Yuelao Temple and start setting off lanterns to pray to the sky."
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd walked towards Yuelao Temple like swimming fish.
"Don't crowd."
“Stop crowding”
"Sister Qinglian, hold on tight, eh? Sister Qinglian?"
"Wow wow wow"
"Mother, mother, wow wow wow"
When Sasa pulled Sister Qinglian to her side, she realized that she was pulling a little girl
The little girl who was also lost started to cry loudly.
"Sasa? Where are you, Sasa?"
On the street, Qing Lian shouted softly, but no one answered. Qing Lian's voice was soon buried in the thick crowd.
Qinglian knew that it would be impossible for him to find Sasa.
But sprinkles can't be dangerous.
Qinglian wondered if she should go home and wait for Sasa.
"Hey, did you know? The marriage tree at Yuelao Temple by the river puts out prayer lanterns at auspicious times. I heard it's very effective."
"Is it very effective?"
"Yes, as long as you write your wish on the lamp and let it fly, I heard it will come true. If you write the name of your sweetheart, you can see her soon."
Passing by Qinglian, a pair of sisters were holding hands and talking about lanterns.
"Old Mo, you are still selling fish here."
"Hey, isn't this Chen Zhen Yun Envoy? How long has it been since Chen Zhen Yun Envoy came back?"
"It's been almost a year. I'm on a mission, right? How's the business lately?"
"It's not very good. The wind and waves have been strong recently, so I can't catch any fish."
"The stronger the wind, the more expensive the fish."
"Give me a piece of Eastern Star Spot and send it to my house tomorrow. Here, I'll give you the money."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely make the freshest Eastern Star Spot for Chen Zhenyun tomorrow."
"Hey, isn't this Chen Zhen Yun Envoy? Chen Zhen Yun Envoy is back?"
"I'm back, Sister Bai, let's make a glass of wine."
"What kind of wine are you drinking? Isn't it good to drink sister?"
"This is not possible. Sister Bai's wine is not easy to get drunk. Sister Bai, you are too intoxicating."
"Keke, you still know how to talk."
"Mr. Chen, come and play. The slave family is practicing a new dance."
"Another day."
"Oh~ Mr. Chen is so embarrassed when he talks. Why did we change the date? I hate it~~~"
Chen Lu, who finally rushed back to Pingyang City, greeted one acquaintance after another.
Chen Lu came back specially in time for the Lovesickness Festival.
Chen Lu didn't sleep for many days and traveled all night. Chen Lu thought he had to come back and spend the holidays with Qinglian.
But before that, Chen Lu planned to place a prayer lantern to pray to the sky and pray to Yue Lao to help him regain his overwhelming luck.
Mainly because this time I went to the Black Dragon Secret Realm, and there was a royal sister from the Barbarian Kingdom, a witch from the Demon Sect of the Western Region, Lan Xue and a nine-tailed fox. I couldn't stand it.
Although Chen Lu wants to marry eighteen wives.
But these people can’t control themselves, and they will never allow themselves to marry eighteen wives!
When we arrived at Yuelao Temple, we saw the marriage trees bearing festive red flowers.
The lights one after another reflect the faces of passers-by.
The sky lanterns are held in the hands of boys and girls, waiting for them to be released at auspicious times.
Chen Lu also held one.
But Chen Lu was thinking about what to write on the small piece of paper on the sky lantern.
Chen Lu wanted to write a paragraph, for example - "I hope I can marry eighteen wives, but I hope I can control each wife."
But, the note was a bit small, so Chen Lu could only write it briefly.
"Boom"
In Yuelao Temple, the first bell rang.
Everyone quickly held their own prayer lanterns.
Everyone is staring at the fire lamp in front of them, and the wishes in everyone's heart are gently swaying on the small paper under the lamp.
"Boom"
Another bell rang, indicating that the auspicious time had arrived.
Everyone released their prayer lanterns, and the lanterns floated into the sky. If you looked down from the starry sky, you would see a sea of lanterns.
The lights carrying everyone's wishes will fly into the sky until the lights dissipate and be buried in the Milky Way.
And just as the sky-praying lantern in front of Chen Lu was flying higher and higher, in front of Chen Lu, the sky-praying lantern in the hand of a woman also slowly rose into the sky.
The lights flying into the sky and the stars in the sky reflect each other, getting closer and closer
At first the prayer lanterns covered their faces.
Later, the prayer lanterns covered their noses and eyes, and then only their eyes.
Finally, the sky-praying lantern flew over their heads without covering anything.
Their eyes were originally on the praying lantern, but as the praying lantern moved away, they looked at each other.
Looking at the man in front of her, the woman blinked blankly.
The man was also stunned, but he reacted before the woman.
"What wishes did you write?" the man said with a smile.
