Chapter 40 Sudden Changes
Chapter 40 Sudden Changes
Tao An slept on a simple bed in a room, and there were sticks of crystal-clear candied haws all over the table, floor, and window sill, which looked very tempting and delicious.In the corner of the room were more than a dozen wine jars with big bellies, which were filled with mellow and mellow wine, causing ripples in layers.
Tao An sat up from the bed, picked up a candied haws placed on the head of the bed and took a bite, the crispy icing was crumbled, and the inside was sweet and sour seedless hawthorn.It was supposed to be his favorite delicacy, but Tao An's teeth suddenly ached, he had indulged in eating candied haws for too many days, no matter how delicious it was, it couldn't stand this kind of spoilage.
Putting down the candied haws in his hand, got up and got out of bed, took a sip of the mellow fine wine from the jug, fortunately, the fine wine would only get drunk and never get tired of drinking, Tao An drank himself dizzy again, and climbed onto the bed Lie down and continue to sleep.
"Don't sleep, wake up..."
Drowsy, a nasty sound disturbed his drowsiness.
"Get up, the float parade has already begun."
I don't know if it's because I was really tired from practicing arrows yesterday, no matter how much Yi Zikan tossed and pinched his face this morning, I just didn't see him wake up.
Yi Zikan looked at the sleeping man helplessly, and suddenly had an idea, and leaned down to his ear: "Yi Zikan ran away with someone..."
Tao An frowned in the dream: "Why did he run away with someone again?"
Yi Zikan was stunned suddenly, seeing Tao An writhing like he was about to wake up immediately, he hurriedly asked, "What is you?"
However, Tao An no longer answered his words, and woke up slowly under his tireless noise.
Yi Zikan asked: "You just said why I ran away with someone again, when did I run away with someone?"
"Huh?" Tao An was still immersed in the fantasy of wine and food in the dream just now. He didn't hear Yi Zikan's words, but asked him another question: "I just dreamed of candied haws and wine jars. This dream is so real. Even I know exactly where the things in the room are, do you think I remembered how the mallet and ground egg came to me?"
Not hearing the answer she wanted, Yi Zikan was rather melancholy: "It's possible."
Tao An pulled her thoughts out of the dream, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was right, otherwise why would she dream of a room full of candied haws and wine jars for no reason.Could it be that the two little monsters gave him dreams.
He suddenly remembered to ask Yi Zikan: "Speaking of which, where did these two go? I haven't seen them for almost ten days. Don't be eaten by some big monster!"
Yi Zikan poked him: "You don't seem to be very worried about them, but you are a little happy?"
Tao An "hehe" laughed twice: "Isn't this on your territory? How can there be monsters eating monsters in the place protected by the national teacher? I have nothing to worry about."
"Hmph, little sycophant, they're fine, but if you don't get dressed quickly, we won't be able to catch the float and pass by the door." Yi Zikan urged him again.
"Okay, okay, got it, get dressed right away!"
The most magnificent float in the Chaoyang Festival is specially dressed in the shape of a mountain, with trees, flowers, birds and animals on it. The most dazzling thing is a fiery red iron lantern that imitates the sun on the top of the mountain, on which one person can stand and hold a flower. Jian, who played the role of Yi Zikan, the god of war in the sea of flowers.
Every year before Chaoyang Festival, the floats will be remade to ensure its most magnificent side, but this year's float production did not know what went wrong, and it was barely completed yesterday.But fortunately, it still has enough majestic momentum, so it will not delay today's use.
"I'm going to pass by the mansion of the Master of the State Teacher, everyone cheer up!"
There is still a street away from Huan Mansion, and the man pretending to be Yi Zikan standing on the sun is already staring straight at the direction of Huan Mansion, which seems very nervous to others.
"Damn! Master Guo Shi disdains to participate in this kind of festival every year. The gate of Huan Mansion will always be closed at this time, so don't be nervous." Is it really Daoist.
"Is that so?" the man on the sun murmured, not knowing whether it was relief or disappointment.
Tao An changed into a long robe inlaid with red borders in response to the occasion, her long fluttering hair was tied up casually, her dark red collar, and the narrow corners of her eyes made her look like a bewitching fox at the moment.Yi Zikan was still dressed in black brocade clothes, but today's robe was embroidered with a large number of dark patterns of gold thread, and with the plain silver hair crown that Tao'an had chosen for him, those who didn't know thought it was some little prince attending the feast.
The two stood at the gate of Huan Mansion and looked at it. The whole street was hung with red lanterns, and colorful flowers were planted at the gate, borrowing the title of God of War in the Sea of Flowers to frighten the monster race.Wangyang County is empty of thousands of people, and the spacious streets are crowded with people, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the floats.
A sharp-eyed person found Yi Zikan at the gate of the Huan Mansion. He was amazed and did not dare to offend him. He could only tell the people next to him in a low voice, "Look over there, Master Guoshi actually came out to watch the car in person!"
"God, is it really him? I haven't seen his real face yet."
"Master Guoshi is so pretty!"
"It is said that he is already in his eighties, yet he looks so young."
There is also a young man with a peach blossom face standing next to him, so naturally everyone will not leave him behind.
"It seems that you have never seen the beautiful young man next to you?"
"It's true that I don't know him very well, and he doesn't look like the little Taoist priest in Wangyang Temple."
"Being able to stand beside the national teacher must be either rich or expensive."
It was passed on from ten to ten, and the luxuriously dressed Yi Zikan and Tao An soon replaced the floats that had not yet appeared and became the center of everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at the gate of Huan Mansion, but Tao An was embarrassed and kept hiding behind Yi Zikan.Yi Zikan pulled him out: "Today is so beautiful, everyone should see it. What kind of fairy is it that captivates my soul?"
Tao An's little trick was caught, and she coughed dryly and stood up with her hands behind her back: "Heh, if you really let others know that the one who is with you is always a monster, you don't want to be a national teacher."
"Then do I still ask you not to expose me?"
Tao An pushed her nose up and raised her face: "It depends on my mood."
Huofeng on the side pursed her lips and snickered. Since she met the national teacher, he has always been serious. This is the first time that someone can get so close to him, and even a joke can get the national teacher's response.It seems to have the appearance of a living human being.
"The float is coming!"
The pedestrians on both sides shouted loudly, and the crowd flashed a road to both sides, and the huge float appeared at the end of the road.
The man on the sun waved the imitation demon sword in his hand, looking majestic and majestic. It was originally an eye-catching appearance, but because the real protagonist was by his side, it seemed very funny on Tao'an's side.
"Is today really your birthday? I haven't prepared your birthday gift yet." Tao'an thought, it seems that human beings have to give gifts on their birthdays.
"No, but today is the day Master picked me up." Yi Zikan didn't look at the splendor of the floats and the wonderful lyrics of the actors on the car, but just stared at the pattern on Taoan's collar, as if it was really boring. Find something to do for yourself.
"Then when is your birthday?"
Yi Zikan laughed: "I have been reduced to being picked up by the master, do I know when I was born?"
Tao An knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
The float was approaching, and the people who were performing their own aria on the bridge saw Yi Zikan in front of the gate of Huan Mansion, straightened their backs involuntarily and swallowed.
Among them, the one who acted as Yi Zikan's true self had the strongest reaction. He has been staring at Da Huanfu since he appeared in sight. The one who played the role of the demon clan did not follow up after singing "The demon and the human world are not compatible".
Seeing that he was about to come to Yi Zikan in front of Huan Mansion, everyone on the float didn't want to be ashamed in front of the national teacher and the people on both sides. Hear and see.
"Being a teacher for one day and being a father for the rest of your life, today is also your birthday, why don't we go together later..."
Before Tao An could finish speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by a strange singing, the float stopped in front of everyone, and the young man on the sun fireball was singing a language that everyone couldn't understand, despite the obstruction of his companions.
Yi Zikan's eyes froze. This is a wild language, and it is also a kind of witchcraft in the wild land - spells.
Spells are like poisonous poisons, which can deprive people of their minds at least, or kill them at worst. It all depends on the incantation and purpose of the caster.People watching the opera didn't understand why, and it was just an obscure part of the float opera.
"Shoot him down!" Yi Zikan immediately ordered the guards of Huan Mansion.
The guards of the Huan Mansion were so sensitive, they had already prepared their bows and arrows when they saw this situation, and they only waited for Yi Zikan to give an order, and all ten arrows were fired at the man on the high place.
The rest of the people on the float were frightened by the accident and jumped out of the car one after another, while the man who chanted the barbarian spell was as solid as a rock, and ten arrows pierced into different parts of his body fiercely, blood splashed everywhere and stained Huanxiu. On the street in front of the mansion, the people around were scared and screamed and fled in a panic, and were driven home by the guards of Huan Mansion.
"What's wrong with this man..." Tao An didn't know why Yi Zikan ordered him to be shot, he only saw that the man was still standing there firmly with several arrows in his body, as if the iron head was bleeding from the arrows. The arrow didn't stick in his body.
The spell continued to be chanted, and suddenly, a woman who hadn't had time to go home crouched down with her head in pain, and crawled forward but couldn't tell the direction, as if her body was out of her control.
If there is one, there will be two, and another girl who has not yet reached the level of the hairpin falls down, and those who have not yet had time to go home faint one after another.
Seeing such a situation, the man grinned in a good mood even though he was hit by several arrows, the mantra was full of madness, as if the blood of the barbarian was at the same moment as the sky.
