Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 160: October Festival

The October Festival was originally just a day for offering sacrifices to snake gods, but with the development of the times and the advancement of technology, people's awareness of gods has become weaker and secular concepts have become stronger, and many entertainment factors and commercial atmospheres have gradually been added. In modern times, in addition to the routine performances on the sacrificial altar, many entertainment stalls have also been set up on the periphery of the sacrificial site.

Early in the morning, Yu Chigong took Nangong Yu from one small stall to another, wanting to play with everything he saw, and to try everything he encountered. It's the first time I've seen them in my life, and it's very novel.

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Nangong Yu calmly took the last big plush toy. The stall owner looked at this extraordinary master, and was so excited that he burst into tears. He has been running the stall for nearly 20 years. This was the first time I met someone who hit the target with all his darts and arrows.Today was really an eye-opener. Although he lost all his money, he was able to witness such a god-man visit his stall, and his life was not wasted.

"Nangongyu, I can't carry it anymore." Yu Chigong hugged a pile of big plush toys more than one meter long, stacked one on top of the other, and buried him in a dangling manner.

With a smile on her face, Nangong Yu stretched out her hand to pull him out of the pile of toys, and left a big white bear for him, and distributed the rest to the onlookers.

Once those children got such a gift, they were overjoyed, and they chased after Nangongyu even more, and they followed Nangongyu wherever she went.

"Okay, kids, let's go play by ourselves, that's it for today." After Nangong Yu divided the last little golden pig piggy bank that was caught in the trap, he waved to the group of children, and took Yu Chigong to line up to buy it. Prayer is gone.

Yu Chigong held a big white bear plush toy in his left hand, a large bag of five-color carp in his right hand, a long string of agate beads hanging around his neck, various bracelets on his wrists, and pockets full of Two pockets of melon seeds, a lot of mobile phone ornaments in the hat behind his clothes, and a garland of Nangong jade rings on his head-he was already full before the ceremony of the god sacrifice officially started.

Those children who threw a lot of money but didn't get a toy watched him passing by eagerly, and they all wished to go back to heaven and reincarnate immediately, so as to have such a good brother with extraordinary skills.

The stalls where Yu Chigong and Nangong Yu visited were all on the periphery of the sacrificial site, and they were mainly for entertainment of tourists. If they want to see the real sacrificial ceremony and get prayer amulets, they have to keep going.

Yu Chigong and Nangong Yu walked slowly along with the mighty team, and waited for a long time before they came to the sign changing place.

Nangongyu took out the twelve gold coins she got from the secret room and put them on the vermilion lacquered wooden table. The priests took the gold coins and presented a prayer talisman with both hands. Nangongyu took it and saw that the prayer talisman was a vermilion Rectangular cardboard, with a half-foot-long red string strung on the top, an emerald bead hanging from the lower end, and a bright red silk thread tassel tied under the emerald bead.There is a vigorous and powerful silver-white "Prayer" written in the center of the card, and exquisite silver-white patterns are printed around the prayer word. When you open it, you can see that there is a smooth and stiff white paper between the two layers of cardboard.

The priest handed him a pen and motioned him to write down what he wanted to say or what he wanted to achieve.

Nangong Yu thanked and wrote the word "forgiveness", and then the priest took the prayer talisman back and put it in a mahogany box.

"Brick, do you have any wish?" Nangong Yula asked Yu Chigong's hand.

Yu Chigong thought for a while, then shook his head: "It seems not."

Nangong Yu flicked his forehead with a smile, took off the seal flower silver ring on her left middle finger, and handed it to the priest in exchange for another prayer talisman.

"Ah, Nangong Yu, you have so many wishes!" Yu Chigong was surprised to see that he had solemnly written a line of words on the prayer talisman, and then asked suspiciously, "Can't it be written together with the one just now?"

"No." Nangong Yu handed the written prayer talisman to the clergy, straightened the wreath on Yuchi Gong's head, and replied with a smile, "The first one was written for others, and the second one is my own." .”

"Oh!" Yu Chigong suddenly realized, and then rubbed his fists, "Since everyone has a wish, then I will write one to join in the fun, haha."

Nangong Yu nodded with a smile, watching him reluctantly give up, exchanged the bag of five-color carp he caught for a prayer amulet, and then bit the pen handed to him by the clergyman and thought hard, thinking that the pen would He was about to be bitten off, and the people behind kept urging him, so he had no choice but to write two words in a hurry, pulled Nangong Yu up and fled away.

"What did you write, Brick?" Nangong Yu asked knowingly while looking at Yuchi Gong's flushed face.

"I won't tell you." Yu Chigong pursed his lips, turned his face to the side, and slowed down his pace.

Isn't Nangong Yu just watching him joke?Those two words can only be thought of by a person like him who lacks eloquence, so he has the nerve to say it out loudly?

"Then you don't want to know what I wrote?" Nangong Yu asked again.

"What did you write?" Yu Chigong was reminded by him, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at him with admiration.

A person with a wish is really amazing. In the situation of so many people, facing a blank piece of paper, he can get it without hesitation, and he held it there for a long time, and then he choked out the words that nothing happened to him :happiness.

"What I wrote is that I want to be with you forever." Nangong Yu solemnly held Yu Chigong's shoulder, looked into his eyes and added, "But, this is not a wish, but an oath."

"Forehead……"

When Yu Chigong heard this, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he was at a loss, when he suddenly found that the noisy voices around him had all quieted down in unison, the two looked around suspiciously, and saw a large group of black-robed men filing in from both sides of the sacrificial mountain Step out and enter the place of offering sacrifices to the gods neatly and orderly.

"It's about to start, it's about to start." Tourists gathered around the venue, discussing in low voices, and even the hawkers who set up stalls left their stalls and surrounded them.

Yu Chigong's height was not dominant, and he couldn't see what was going on inside even if he stood on tiptoe. Hearing people's discussions excitedly, he hurriedly took Nangong Yu's hand and squeezed all the way to the front.
