Chapter 152 Lantern Festival, Beitang Yi's Sweetheart (4)
In the center of the square, there is a square elevated platform of about 40 to 50 meters in height, which is roughly divided into six floors. The four corners of each floor are hung with lanterns or wooden boxes. At the top, there is a red silk flower ball tied with white light. In the night, it looks like a blooming ephemeral flower, attracting people's attention.
At this time, there were seven or eight men scattered on the shelves trying to pass the level. From time to time, someone fell from above, and there were all kinds of exclamations, applause, cheers and sighs coming from the surrounding areas.
Thrilling and lively.
What it is?
It actually gives me a sense of déjà vu of modern electric lights.
Mu Lianzhi tilted his head upward, wondering, when suddenly a gong sound came from the ladder on the side:
"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is a rare flower of love that only people from the Dragon Spirit Cult can make once in a hundred years. It's also called 'Make You Smile'. It's said that giving this flower to lovers can not only make the lady smile, but also gain the blessing of the dragon spirit and eventually marry."
"This is no ordinary silk flower."
"Although it is not valuable, it is very rare. It can be used as an ordinary female ornament during the day, and as a guide light at night. Although it is not as bright and permanent as the night-shining pearl, it is also known as the 'small night-shining pearl'."
"Rumors are false, seeing is believing, and a spark of fireflies is better than a thousand fireflies."
"It is only because the Dragon Spirit Cult is not around that ordinary people like us are not able to consecrate or maintain such a holy object. Otherwise, this 'Bo Jun Yi Xiao' flower would be worth at least a thousand gold coins."
"Now, with just one or two ounces of silver, you have a chance to win this 'Bo Jun Yi Xiao' flower. I hope that this flower can once again play its remaining charm before its brightness completely disappears, and help a pair of lovers to be together!"
"Within one stick of incense, you can defeat four masters or successfully reach the top and take it away."
"Those who fail in the challenge can choose a prize to take away when they reach that level. A tael of silver cannot buy you a loss or a scam. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
"Hold on tight if you like it, or I, the shopkeeper, will be reluctant to leave."
"It's a rare opportunity! The brave win when they meet on a narrow road, and beauties and flowers belong to heroes."
"There's nothing we can do. Who made the boss lady martial and stingy? Whether she can give up this love today depends entirely on fate. Everyone, hurry up. One ounce of silver can get you a lot of gold."
……
The shopkeeper who was beating the gong was very humorous. His words caused laughter from everyone around him. Although it was a bloody fighting scene, he created a festive atmosphere. A gimmick attracted so many people. This boss knows how to make money.
Looking at the light on the viaduct, which looked like the brightest star in the night, the scene of the glowing treasure on the top of the Thousand-Layer Pagoda in a unit of the TV series "Journey to the West" suddenly emerged in his mind, and Mu Lianzhi's eyes narrowed unconsciously again.
"What, do you want it?"
"Hmm~"
Mu Lianzhi nodded rapidly, her eyes only slightly brighter than that of "Xiao Yeming". She shook her head, and Beitang Yi tapped her forehead:
"I know."
It would be strange if I didn't like this little money-grubber.
Beitang Yi turned around, and Ying Bei subconsciously wanted to hand the things in his hand to Ying Feng. When he raised his hand, Beitang Yi made a "defense" gesture:
"Need not."
His meaning was very clear, he wanted to take the token of love himself, and they just needed to protect Mu Lianzhi.
"Master, please let me come down."
Why would he need to personally take action against these minions? Isn't this just using a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
That's too much face for them.
Just as Yingbei was about to fight again, Yingfeng glared at him and pulled him hard. While he was stunned, a white shadow flew into the air. With a tap of the toes, a silver ingot flew towards the man beating the gong, and the white shadow also flew directly to the platform.
The audience was silent for a moment.
Everyone's eyes were straightened.
Wow, so handsome.
Seeing Beitang Yi's powerful martial arts that could kill instantly for the first time, Mu Lianzhi's eyes were all focused on him and his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
The four men guarding the viaduct were obviously masters. Normally, one could easily defeat two or three. But once Beitang Yi went up, neither of them could stop him. The white shadow shuttled like lightning and reached three-quarters of the height in a blink of an eye.
The four men surrounded the boss, who was dumbfounded. The others who were still challenging him were half hanging on the rack and seemed to be frozen.
The audience was as quiet as a chicken.
Bang bang bang!
Beitang Yi performed a series of spinning kicks, and four men in black fell down on their backs from four directions. Accompanied by screams, a white shadow jumped and stopped on the top of the wooden frame. The man looked down from above, with a graceful figure, holding a shining flower in his hand, reflecting his cold and beautiful face, as if he was a god descending to earth.
"Oh my god, who is this? So cool."
"Aren't these four supposed to be the 'Four Hegemons of Jianghu'? They were hired at a high price, but they don't look that good! We should have gone up and given it a try earlier. Maybe the Dragon Spirit Cult's love flower will be ours."
"The boss is really good at bragging."
"Hush, look carefully again, do you know who he is?"
"Who is it? Hmm, it seems to be Master Beitang."
"No, no way? This isn't some kind of love token, why would he be so devoted to something like this..."
"It's Master Beitang. Didn't you see that the boss is speechless? And those things on the shelf, how long have they not been moved? Who, who is so impatient to live that he dares to snatch things from Master Beitang?"
"That's right. Lord Beitang is the leader of Yutian Pavilion. There are probably only a handful of people in this world who can defeat him."
"Oh my god, oh my god, what did I see? No wonder I stood there for a long time and no one took away the lamps. In the blink of an eye, the treasure has been taken away."
"It is said that Lord Beitang is a rare talent, a fairy. Seeing is believing. There really is such a handsome man in the world."
"It is a great honor to see Lord Beitang take action. It is a blessing that these people are still alive."
"Hey, isn't this something women use to seal a relationship? Who do you think he'll give it to?"
"I haven't heard that he has a favorite woman."
"Wouldn't you know it just by looking at it?"
"Can't people just keep it for themselves? It's always a rare item."
……
There was a lot of discussion around, and Mu Lianzhi couldn't take her eyes off the eye-catching white shadow there, but the corners of her lips under the veil couldn't help but rise up proudly.
At this time, on the other side of the crowd, Yu Wei pulled Yu Hua and rushed forward. They both looked up at the same time and were stunned for a moment.
"Sister, is that your favorite white camellia?"
She had heard about the excitement here a long time ago, so she went back and called people over to try her luck. Unexpectedly, "Make You Smile" was snatched away by Beitang Yi first. Although she could not hide her admiration and joy in her eyes, Yu Wei felt more or less disappointed.
She actually liked and wanted this lover's item that was said to have mysterious powers, but as soon as she saw the general shape of the white flower and Beitang Yi's loving gesture of playing with it, she knew it was not her destiny.
Did he go up there for his sister?
