Fast Travel Guide: The heroine collapses

Chapter 1238, Returning to Xia Shang 22
The sky was gloomy as if shrouded in a black curtain.

It was bitterly cold and windy.

Storm is coming.

A woodcutter carrying a load on the mountain, when passing by the edge of a cliff, seemed to hear a woman's miserable cry in his ears.

The voice is obscene and ethereal.

The woodcutter thought he had heard it wrong, and was about to leave when the woman's miserable cry came again.

After hesitating for a moment, the woodcutter walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The black mist under the cliff was deep, dark and unfathomable.

Under the gloomy and gloomy cliff, accompanied by a weird female voice, all this gave the woodcutter some goosebumps for no reason.

He subconsciously wanted to leave here quickly, but he didn't see that not far from his feet, the thick and thick vines on the edge of the cliff seemed to have a sense of wisdom, and quickly moved towards the woodcutter.

Before the woodcutter could react, the weird vines strangled his calf. The woodcutter opened his eyes wide and his pupils constricted, as if he had seen something terrible, and he was dragged down the cliff.

At that moment, only sharp screams could be heard from the woodcutter's mouth.

The scream was only for a moment, and it stopped abruptly in the next moment.

The deep black mist is bloody, and the blood permeates in the black mist, blending with the black mist, making this place even more weird and gloomy.

-

The slender man gathered his red robe and walked towards the room where Qingcheng lived.

Ever since Jin Xian said that he would not interfere with the relationship between him and the girl, Xia Chun gradually let go of the knot in his heart, and wandered silently by the girl's side like a ghost in the past few days.

Xia Chun followed the girl without speaking, just staring at her all the time. At first, Qingcheng felt uncomfortable, but after several days passed, Qingcheng gradually got used to Xia Chun's behavior.

"Xia Chun, let's have a good chat!"

On this day, Qingcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyes fell on the man.

The man's handsome face is sinister and bewitching, with a pair of blue peach eyes, passionate and romantic, as if shining with the stars, the whole person looks stunning and exquisite.

Hearing Qingcheng's words, the man's figure paused slightly, with a smile on his lips, but he didn't object. He nodded and followed Qingcheng, babbling with undisguised concern.

"Children, the weather is a bit weird recently. It should be an extremely hot summer, but it's as cool as autumn. You have to keep warm and don't get sick, otherwise, I'll be worried!"

Qingcheng nodded, looked at the man, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard from Jinxian that you are going back to the capital?"

Xia Chun casually smiled, but did not deny it, "Some things happened in the court hall and I need to go back to deal with them. Before the incident was urgent, I just let Fushun hide my whereabouts and let the dark guard replace me for a while. Now, I'm still Xia Shang's emperor!"

"On your way back, be well and be safe!" Qingcheng nodded silently, at this moment, she really didn't know what to say to Xia Chun.

Xia Chun smiled. The young man at this moment had a delicate and exquisite face, which was so handsome and beautiful that it was amazing.

If he wasn't still so thin and thin, he wouldn't have looked so decadent and vicissitudes a few days ago.

"Children, I have always wanted to ask you a question. In your heart, who am I to you?"

When Xia Chun asked this sentence, his tone was a little careless.

It seems that he just asked casually.

At that moment, Qingcheng really didn't know how to answer Xia Chun, and fell silent.

The girl's silence made Xia Chun seem to understand something, the bitterness and gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to calm, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Now, do you know, for me I'm afraid there is no difference, this time we are separated, I don't know when we will meet again, child, I will miss you!"

After speaking, Xia Chun stood up, turned and left the room without waiting for Qingcheng to react.

The slender figure is lonely and lonely.

At this moment, Qingcheng felt inexplicably sad, clutching her suddenly throbbing heart, the smile on her face was sad and helpless.

"Qingqing, do you see what I brought you?"

The man's jade-like figure is slender and clean, and his whole body is ethereal, handsome and gentle like a holy iceberg snow lotus on a snow mountain, with a clear and noble demeanor all over his body.

At this moment, he came from outside the door with a smile on his face, which made him look extremely gentle. He held a rabbit-shaped lantern in his slender and white hands.

The arrival of Jinxian made Qingcheng suddenly come to his senses, and cleared the messy thoughts in his mind, and his eyes fell on the lantern in his hand. The cute and exquisite lantern is so beautiful that it makes people's heartbeat.

Qingcheng was very pleasantly surprised, "What a beautiful rabbit lantern!"

Jinxian nodded, "Qingqing, the Lantern Festival in Nancheng will be held in two days. People in Nancheng will make all kinds of beautiful lanterns in these few days and hang them in front of their houses for people to admire!"

Jinxian's words made Qingcheng slightly surprised, "Nancheng still has such a custom! I've never heard of the Lantern Festival!"

Jin Xian smiled, "This is a unique custom in Nancheng. For Nancheng people, this festival is very important. It is no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of Nancheng people, lanterns will exist like New Year!"

As he spoke, Jinxian told Qingcheng what he had learned about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

It is said that a long time ago, a water ghost that ate children suddenly appeared in the river of Nancheng. This water ghost made the people of Nancheng living on both sides of the river miserable.

Children often disappeared from the people's homes, which made people panic, until one day, a Taoist priest carrying a lantern suddenly appeared, and the Taoist priest with the lantern easily defeated the water ghost and took it away.

In order to express their gratitude to the Taoist priests, the Nancheng people enshrined the lanterns. After a long time, the lanterns became the sacred objects in the hearts of the Nancheng people. In the days when the Taoist priests defeated the water ghosts, they became the Lantern Festival.

In this way, I express my gratitude and admiration to Lantern Taoist priests.

Because of this rumor, in the eyes of Nancheng people, lanterns are equivalent to the existence of lantern priests. They believe that the lanterns made by the Lantern Society in the past few days have the power to exorcise evil and avoid disasters, and to bless the family.

Hearing this story, Qingcheng was slightly dumbfounded, but he didn't say anything. After all, the lanterns, which are very common in the eyes of others, exist like beliefs in the hearts of Nancheng people.

Whether the rumors are true or not, people hang lanterns because they always have a mentality of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Through the window, the girl's eyes fell on the long river across the banks of the South City. The water was clear and the river was rushing.
