Jiang Hu misunderstood me a lot

Chapter 16 Night of Zhongyuan

The Hungry Ghost Festival is also known as Ghost Festival on July [-]th.Legend has it that the gate of ghosts is opened on this day, and all the souls of the dead will be released from the underworld. Therefore, folks have always had the custom of worshiping ancestors, visiting graves, and offering sacrifices to lonely souls and wild ghosts.

At the head of the Xunyang River, maple leaves and grasses rustle in autumn, and the moon is cold and the river is clear and dark at night.

On the calm river, lotus lanterns drift with the water, and the full candlelight reflects the river water like clouds.The streamer is shining, the shadows are indistinct, like a dream.

This lotus lantern is made of colored paper or satin in the shape of a lotus, with a red candle in the middle and placed in the water. It is said that it can illuminate the way home for the dead.All the way along the river, crowds of lotus lanterns and stalls selling lotus lanterns can be seen everywhere.

Liang Yufeng walked up to a little girl who was selling lotus lanterns, and picked out one.After thinking about it, he turned around and said, "Brother, do you want it?"

Shi Tongyu remained silent.

Liang Yufeng and he realized that today, they could guess how much he was thinking from his frozen face, so they picked two of them without waiting for his answer, and took them back to share one with him.

Shi Tongyu took the lotus lamp and couldn't help but look at him.

Even though he was doing the work of saving the souls of the dead, Young Master Liang didn't seem to be sad at all.He held the lotus lantern in his hand, and walked to the place where the lantern was placed by the river first, the corners of his lips seemed to curl up even without a smile.

Shi Tongyu couldn't help but ask him: "You put this lamp on..."

Liang Yufeng turned his head and said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's for my mother. I heard from my father that my mother passed away not long after I was born. Every year we have to put a lamp for her."

Shi Tongyu was taken aback, but he had never heard that the owner of Hehuan Island, who was so lustful, had ever married a wife.But he doesn't want to pry into other people's private affairs, just listen to it.

Liang Yufeng asked him naturally: "What about you?"

Shi Tongyu was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "I am also for my mother."

Liang Yufeng continued to ask with great interest: "Oh, your mother has gone too. Is your father still there?"

Shi Tongyu stopped answering him, and walked to the place where the lights were placed first.He carefully lit the red candle in the little lotus lantern, then bent down and put it into the water.

In recent years, the Jin and Song Dynasties have confronted each other, and the war has not stopped.Last year, the patron Wan Yanliang led an army to invade the south, and countless people were displaced and died in foreign lands.On the night of the Zhongyuan Festival, there may not be tens of thousands of people who come to light the lanterns.

Very good moon, not according to people's circle.

The lotus lanterns all over the river swirled and drifted along the river water, reflecting the river surface brightly, like red lotus blooming silently in the dark night.

Shi Tongyu put the lotus lantern into the river, but was reluctant to let it go for a while.His hands were encased in a void, and the warm light shone through his palms, reflecting a blush.The flickering light and shadow blurred his face, and only the outline of his side face could be vaguely discerned.

The jumping flames were reflected in his pupils, flickering and extremely bright, like fireworks blooming, so bright.Soon, it dimmed as the lotus lantern went away, as if it had disappeared.It seems that after the prosperity has come to an end, there is only desolation left alone.

The world's infinite pill and green hands, a piece of sadness cannot be painted.

Not far away on the river, there is a water and land dojo, and there are nearby temples where there are flames.Under the shadow of fire, the mage on the high platform is throwing fruits and pastries to the believers in the audience.

Liang Yufeng was surprised to see those devout men and women scrambling for it, so excited, he ran to the locals and asked, "What is this for?"

The man told him: "This is the custom of Zhongyuan here. If a woman can snatch this snack, she can guarantee to conceive a fat boy in the next year. And if a child gets it, she will not be frightened for the rest of her life."

As soon as Liang Yufeng heard the excitement, he immediately squeezed into the crowd of women and children and grabbed two snacks.Without saying anything, I gave one to Shi Tongyu first, took a bite excitedly, and said: "Our customs are different there. The dim sum tribute at Fangyankou is for worship, and the living are not allowed to eat it. I have long wanted to try it." !"

He turned his head to think about it, and said: "Sometimes there will be a troupe to dance the Mulian Dance. Have you ever seen it? It is based on the story of Mulian saving his mother. Let me tell you, it's very interesting..."

Mulian's rescue of his mother is a story recorded in the Buddhist "Ullambana Sutra".

It is said that Mulian, a Buddhist disciple, used his Celestial Eye to check the dead soul of his mother, Mrs. Qingti, after he had achieved success in cultivation.However, she found out that her mother had committed a lot of sins during her lifetime, so after her death she could only live in the realm of hungry ghosts in hell. She had nothing to eat or drink, and everything she ate was turned into burning coals, and she would suffer forever.

So he prayed for Sakyamuni's guidance to save his mother's suffering.The Buddha taught him to hold the Ullambana Basin together with other eminent monks on the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month to save the souls of the dead and wash away the sins of his mother.

Mulian dance is a sacrificial dance derived from it and spread in some areas in the south.The whole team usually consists of seven people, one of whom plays the role of Mulian, and the others are supporting roles. Generally, there are plots such as leading troops to fight, fighting in all directions, looking for hell, and rescuing a mother in distress.

After he finished talking, he laughed again: "But my father and I don't believe this. My father said that even if my mother really went to hell, it was her who saved others, and it was not up to others to save her. "

Shi Tongyu listened to him in silence for a long time, but he was aroused a little interest.

As a Buddhist venerable, Mu Lian has achieved success in cultivation, so would his mother be guilty of serious crimes?Even the soul after death needs the salvation of the son.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Your mother is..."

Liang Yufeng smiled slyly: "Haha, my mother is a monk, she is a Buddhist nun."

Shi Tongyu never expected this time, he almost slipped and fell into the water, but fortunately Liang Yufeng caught him in time.

He looked at Young Master Liang's self-satisfied look, and really didn't understand what he was trying to do.

Dad is a devil and mother is a nun?

It is really hard to imagine what kind of wonderful couple this is!

One of the parties involved was the number one master of the evil faction who used to occupy the top of the list of villains for many years, and was able to stand up to the five masters of the world!

What happened to the legend that the Lord of Hehuan Island took out countless nuns and Buddhist halls and robbed hundreds of nuns?It can't be that this wonderful couple is having fun, right?

He was young after all, curious, he opened his mouth to ask, and saw Liang Yufeng's expression of coming to ask me, come and ask me, and knew that if he asked a question, this person would definitely answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed the words again back -

I almost forgot that the person in front of me was not a friend but an enemy.

No matter how kindly he smiles, but I want to snatch his Dinghun Orb after all, so how can I have the audacity to talk about my heart and friendship with him?

Liang Yufeng kept staring at him intently, watching him hesitate to speak, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I can bear it like this, is there a mistake? !

Young Master Liang sincerely wanted to make him this friend, as long as he opened his heart to ask questions, he would definitely tell the truth.

Friends and confidantes should have a deep talk and get to know each other until they know the bottom line.If Shi Tongyu insists on keeping it secret, he is willing to start with it first.Once you come and go, it will naturally become a coming and going.Until the other party can let go of their defenses and be honest with him...

It's a rare opportunity to see Shi Tongyu restless, but the fish hanging down the bait refuses to bite the bait.

Don't you really want to hear the top secret gossip in today's martial arts world?Things that other people may not be able to say to him when they beg him, but this person just doesn't take it to heart.

Why is it so difficult to make a close friend?

Fortunately, this frustration didn't have time to hit him for long, he had already seen Min Sanniang in a light veil among the crowd not far away, and successfully diverted his attention.

The moon is as bright as water, illuminating the world.Among thousands of people, the silver mask on the face of Mr. Lei Wu is so shining.It's no wonder that Liang Yufeng saw him from the crowd at first glance, and then saw Min Sanniang beside him by the way.

This pair of masked heroes finally appeared in such a costume again, which made him feel a lot of regret for no reason.After all, you never get tired of seeing a beautiful woman. Mr. Lei Wu blocked his face, but it really made him lose his eyesight a lot.

To make matters worse, there seemed to be quite a few people with eyes as sharp as his.Is the most beautiful man in Xunyang just for nothing?Not to mention the silver mask that was more ostentatious with it than without it.Even in this solemn night of Zhongyuan, a large wave of boys and girls bravely rushed over, but they were overwhelmed in a short while.

Even though Lei Ce's temper is as fierce as fire, it is difficult to act aggressively in front of a large number of his loyal fans. Being surrounded by the crowd, it seems that he will not be able to escape for a while.

Min Sanniang, who was squeezed out of the crowd, was ignored. She looked around and walked towards the little girl selling lotus lanterns.Of course, Liang Yufeng would not miss this great opportunity to be courteous, so he rushed over immediately.

"What a coincidence! Elder sister." He smiled at Yan Yan. Self-taught master has mastered the first rule of walking with girls, and quickly paid off the lotus lamp, only waiting for Min Sanniang to choose.

When Min Sanniang saw her, the slight melancholy between her brows could not help but melt away a bit.

"Sister, let's go, I will accompany you to put the lantern." Liang Yufeng waited for her to choose the lotus lantern, and then insisted on walking with her to the place where the lantern was placed.It can be seen from this that he is not only a gentleman, but also knows how to do things from beginning to end.Even if it is to please others, it must be carried out meticulously to the end.

Seeing this, Min Sanniang said, "Master Li, I have already told Ah Ce that I want you to come to the wedding."

Liang Yufeng hurriedly asked: "I'm sorry to bother my sister, I don't know..."

Min Sanniang said, "A Ce is still very reluctant."

Liang Yufeng said in shock: "Isn't it? Doesn't he listen to my sister very much?"

Min Sanniang asked with a smile: "If I say that he still hasn't agreed, will Mr. Li never hear his elder sister again?"

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Liang Yufeng immediately understood that she was joking, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Where did my sister say that? When does what I, Liang Yufeng say, count? My sister is my sister for a day, and my sister for the rest of my life."

Min Sanniang smiled, "Liang Yufeng?"

Liang Yufeng knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but he said nonchalantly: "Don't dare to lie to my sister, my younger brother's real name is Liang Yufeng."

Min Sanniang is not from the martial arts world, and has been living in Dajin Zhongdu before, so I haven't heard much about his notoriety.Just wondering: "This name is very impressive, why does it seem like I have heard it somewhere?"

Liang Yufeng hurriedly said: "Sister, I have a merciless request from you."

Min Sanniang made fun of him and said, "Since you know it's an unkind request, don't say it."

Liang Yufeng said: "You can't say no. Sister, remember, don't tell Fifth Young Master Lei my name."

Min Sanniang was surprised: "Oh? Why?"

Liang Yufeng imagined it, and his expression distorted: "It's hard to say clearly. But I guess, once the fifth son knows, some tragic things that can't be described in words will happen..."

Just taking off the mask will lead to a horrible murder, right?

Tsk tsk, it's in vain that the fifth son of Lei has such a big name, and he doesn't have any guts at all!

Min Sanniang was taken aback by him.But she was quick-witted and transparent, and quickly grasped the key point of the matter, and said calmly: "Brother Feng, I still remember that night you and Mr. Zhang fought righteously and captured the leader of the thief. Therefore, I have always believed in you There is absolutely no malice in Ce, right?"

Liang Yufeng nodded: "Not bad."

Min Sanniang said: "That's good."

Liang Yufeng asked: "Then about my name..."

Min Sanniang smiled and said, "I won't tell Ah Ce. Everyone has their own secret, right?"

At this time, the two of them had reached the place where the lantern was placed, and Min Sanniang bent down to put down the lotus lantern.

The clear moonlight and the melting candlelight were all reflected in her eyes for a moment, making them sparkle indescribably.The light gauze covered her face, only her eyes were exposed, which was still the same as before.

Not far away, the mage at the mouth of the flames was chanting: "Calling with all my heart, the lonely soul of the woman with the skirts and others... Woohoo! The old romance is gone, the green poplars and grass are cold..."

Liang Yufeng looked at her, and was about to speak, when his elbows suddenly turned——

In the dark night, the lotus lanterns all over the river are far and near, and the candles are flickering. After all, the vision is not as good as in the daytime, and it is still a bit dim.If he hadn't happened to turn his head sideways, he wouldn't have seen the silver light reflected by the moonlight obliquely on the tip of the needle!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a swarm of ox hair fine needles attacking silently in the dark night, shooting like rain, straight at Min Sanniang beside him!
