Chapter 24 River Lantern

It is not surprising to hear the roar of ferocious beasts in the wilderness.Shen Lin didn't care at first, but those roars lasted for a long time, so long that Shen Lin wondered why some animals would rather roar outside in this weather than go back to sleep.

The coachman next to him slept like a dead pig, as if he couldn't hear anything.Shen Lin raised the small curtain on the car suspiciously and looked out.

Amidst the violent storm, there were some densely packed black shadows constantly shuttling through the woods, making roaring sounds.The number is astonishing, and it does not look like wild beasts outside.

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

Dragon head and tiger body.

At that time, Shen Lin didn't care what it was.There were too many of those things, casting a black shadow over the entire forest, screaming and running, like a collective migration, and disappeared after a long time.Although Shen Lin was very curious, he didn't go to the point of chasing after whatever he saw on the road to find out.When those things left, Shen Lin followed them, put down the small curtain and continued to sleep.

If his two precious apprentices hadn't mentioned it to him again, he might not have remembered such an incident.

"You cut open the belly of the possessed old lady," Shen Lin said, "...What about the thing itself?"

Lu Huaiyuan and Shen Huaiyu exchanged glances: "I didn't see it."

"I didn't see it..." Shen Lin murmured.

After that old lady's belly was cut open by Lu Huaiyuan, no similar strange things happened in Shiquan Town.The two of them were naturally counted as that thing and were also scattered with Lu Huaiyuan's sword.

Lu Huaiyuan said in a low voice: "That thing is going to steal babies to eat even at the expense of exposure; during the day, the yang energy is so strong that it can't move freely at all, and can only cling to the old lady. My disciples think that thing is very weak. The old lady has already Dead, it took advantage of the soul to leave the body, attached to her body. The disciple wounded the old lady with a sword, the sword had a spirit, and destroyed the thing it was attached to, so the body naturally could not survive, and it dissipated."

Shen Lin said, "I hope so."

The things he saw in the rainy night in the south of the Yangtze River were not attached to anyone, and they all moved freely without any restrictions.

"The token of Xingyue Pavilion was on that person just now," Shen Lin said, "If Huaiyuan read it correctly, Xingyue Pavilion is related to that Jiao."

Lu Huaiyuan felt horrified: "That is to say, the dead person we saw just now was also a dead person whose body was forcibly taken by Jiao Jiao?"

"No," Shen Huaiyu said, "it's impossible for a dead person to have such delicate movements."

The person from Xingyue Pavilion and He Hongguang were on par in the arena.If Qiao Jiao borrowed a dead body, it would be impossible to make such delicate movements.The old lady they saw earlier seemed to be half buried in the ground, and she could only do some simple movements such as turning her head and chewing, and her movements were extremely slow.And the person they saw just now was obviously a alive and kicking person.

"Oh..." Shen Lin thought about it and let out a sigh-like sound, "If I borrowed a dead body, I can still think that it has enmity with Xingyue Pavilion. If it is a living person... it is a corpse raised by Xingyue Pavilion. something?"

The He family wanted to give Xingyue Pavilion a blow, but Xingyue Pavilion seemed to be going against the He family, and secretly sent people to sneak into the ceremony, vowing to turn the He family upside down.

"Master," Shen Huaiyu asked, "Do you want to tell the He family about this and let them make some arrangements?"

"No need." Shen Lin replied coldly, "Let's see how the He family handles this time."

Shen Lin treated this matter very indifferently, even if he knew that someone was going to harm the He family, he was unwilling to inform the He family of the matter in advance.No matter how Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan questioned, Shen Lin was unwilling to say more.

Shen Huaiyu silently made a note of the He family's sum in her heart, planning to do it later.

In the evening, two little girls from the He family came to look for Shen Lin again.Shen Lin didn't seem in the mood to amuse the children, so he threw these two little burdens to Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan, and let them play with them.It may be because of Lu Huaiyuan's temperament that strangers should not get close to him. The two children don't like him very much, and if there is no Shen Lin to cling to, they will cling to Shen Huaiyu.

"Brother!" He Xiaolan hugged Shen Huaiyu's leg, "Let's go play outside the villa!"

The He family's villa is very big, and the two children are young, so they haven't been out much.

Lu Huaiyuan was so happy that the two little kids didn't pester him, seeing the two kids pestering Shen Huaiyu, he actually felt a little pity for his senior brother.Shen Huaiyu didn't care too much, he said to He Xiaolan in a gentle voice: "Isn't it good to just play in the villa? Why do you have to go outside?"

He Xiaozhu pouted: "There is a lantern festival today."

"Lantern festival?" Shen Huaiyu felt strange, "When will there be a lantern festival?"

He Xiaolan said softly: "It will be played on the [-]th day of every lunar month, it's so beautiful, brother take us there."

Shen Huaiyu couldn't resist the two children, so he promised to go to Mrs. He first, and take them out after she agreed.He Xiaolan was still acting like a baby to Shen Huaiyu a moment ago, and when Shen Huaiyu turned around, she made a face at Lu Huaiyuan.

Lu Huaiyuan: "..."

Damn it, this kid is exactly the same as Ye Qinqin when he was a child!

The two children insisted on going out to play with their elder brother, Madam He had to apologize to Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan repeatedly, and then let the children go.

Shen Huaiyu held He Xiaolan in his arms, and He Xiaozhu followed behind like a little follower... Lu Huaiyuan followed at the end, feeling a little redundant.A group of people walked to the gate of the villa together, He Xiaolan was playing with Shen Huaiyu's hair while pointing everywhere, looking very interested in everything.

The two little girls of the He family don't know the way.Lu Huaiyuan went to inquire a little bit, and found that it was not a lantern, but a river lantern.There is a river dug here for water transportation, which is called Qingshui River by the locals, and people go to put lanterns in that river.

A few people passed in the direction pointed by the passer-by, and they saw lotus lanterns floating in the river from a long distance, and there were some vendors beside them.Lu Huaiyuan took out some money and bought four lotus lanterns.The outside of the lotus lantern is paper-pasted lotus petals. The tip of each petal is painted with a pretty pink color with a brush. A short white candle is placed in the middle. After being lit, the whole lotus flower exudes softness The light pink light is truly beautiful.

Shen Huaiyu lit two lamps for the two little girls, and told them to be careful not to burn themselves.The two little girls nodded and ran to the river to release them.After the release, I was very excited and chattered endlessly to the lotus flowers in the river, not knowing what I was excited about.

Shen Huaiyu turned around and found that Lu Huaiyuan still had a lotus lantern in his hand, very curious: "Why did you buy so many?"

Lu Huaiyuan said: "Let's light up the lights too."

Shen Huaiyu laughed for a moment: "This lamp is for the mourning of the deceased. If the children don't know how to play with it, it's fine. Do you want to play with it?"

However, Lu Huaiyuan slowly lit up the remaining two lamps: "Who said you can only express your grief."
