Chapter 1005 New Year’s Eve
late at night.
In a small mountain village.
The banquet was almost finished, and everyone was a little stuffed.
Everyone sat together and talked around the fire at night.
On the bonfire are grilled fish, roasted whole deer and other delicacies, the aroma is fragrant.
"Come on, I'll take you to set off the fireworks."
Li Fan spoke. He had also learned how to make fireworks under the guidance of the system, so he had prepared a lot before the festival. After all, the Chinese New Year still needs some atmosphere.
Hearing this, a group of disciples were very excited.
"Fireworks are set off!"
"I heard the fireworks are so beautiful!"
Li Fan smiled and distributed the fireworks to them.
"Li Fan, how should I put this?"
Yun Xi spoke doubtfully.
Li Fan went over to teach her and said:
"Hold the bottom and light the fuse above, and that's it."
He gently held Yun Xi's hand and said:
"There will be some recoil, so hold on tight."
Then the fuse was lit.
Suddenly, a beam of light rushed into the sky, blooming with brilliant light in the sky.
"Bang!"
The night sky was illuminated, like a flame burning in the darkness, colorful, short and beautiful.
"What a nice view!"
"I want to let go too!"
A group of disciples were all very excited.
Suddenly, a stream of fireworks rushed into the sky, competing for beauty in the dark night sky, and bloomed into beautiful flowers.
Next to them, a group of mentally ill people were all stunned at this moment.
"The great avenue blooms... This is clearly the ultimate flower of martial arts!"
Luo Xingchen spoke in shock. He seemed to have caught the movement of the sword from the fireworks.
"Nonsense...this is clearly a painting..."
Murong Wanci's beautiful eyes were filled with obsession, and she said:
"Countless Tao bloomed at that moment, bursting out the greatest beauty in the world... How can ordinary painting Tao depict such wonders?"
…
Soon, the fireworks were set off.
A group of disciples were very happy, and the villagers were also very happy to see it.
"Xiao Li is so awesome."
"These fireworks are beautiful!"
They all praised.
"Lao Zhang, your wine is not very good..."
At this time, Uncle Zhao was drinking Uncle Zhang’s ten-year-old wine, shaking his head and saying:
"It's not as good as Xiao Li's wine for a year."
Uncle Zhang said:
"You don't understand, go, go, I've given you ten years of wine for nothing."
When Li Fan saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Dear Master, go dig out the wine from the past five years as a teacher. I won't come home until I'm drunk with you all today!"
Wu Dade and Lu Rang immediately ran back to get the wine, and before long, they had brought several large jars of wine.
Everyone is full.
"Come, let's have a drink together, and wish you all a prosperous life in the coming year!"
The second uncle raised his glass, and all the villagers were smiling.
"It's booming!"
They drank it all in one gulp.
"This is called wine! This mellow aroma and taste are so good!"
The second uncle was drinking and praising Li Fan's drink.
Li Fan has been in the village for five years so far, so this is also the drink he has treasured for the longest time.
Of course there's nothing to say about the taste.
Nanfeng, Ziling, etc. are also drinking freely.
"Master, why do people celebrate the New Year? It feels very interesting..."
As for Zi Ling, while drinking, she looked at Li Fan with big eyes and asked questions curiously.
They have been cultivating and have almost no experience with secular festivals like the Chinese New Year.
Li Fan smiled slightly and said:
“There are three hundred and sixty days in a year, the four seasons change, the leaves bud and wither, the grains are harvested from the tillage, the heaven and earth go from the blessings of spring to the bitter cold of winter... However, this is the case every year, and every year is a new cycle. , the Chinese New Year is the starting point for welcoming a new reincarnation."
Hearing this, many disciples were thoughtful.
They felt that there seemed to be some meaning in Master's words.
"Master, the second uncle said that during the Chinese New Year, we have to fight monsters... There is a kind of monster called 'Xi', which is very ferocious and can devour everything. You must put magic charms on the door, hang lanterns, and light firecrackers to drive it away. ...is it true or false?”
Su Baiqian also asked questions.
Li Fan smiled and said:
"They're all just legends."
"There is no such monster in this world."
The second uncle next to him shook his head and said:
"No...it should have happened originally. At that time, the New Year was like passing a test. The man who used to dance the Great God in the village had to write couplets for us, make red lanterns, and set off firecrackers in person every New Year's Eve...However, the couplets he wrote were similar to It looks like a ghost painting, and the lanterns are also very hideous and ugly, but Xiao Li’s is better, the couplets look comfortable, the lanterns are beautiful, and the fireworks are even more beautiful.”
"Over the years... things like Xi... don't exist anymore, and I don't know where they have gone... Forget it, let's drink and drink!"
He raised his glass and drank with Li Fan.
However, the disciples were all a little itchy. Every time the second uncle talked about the past, they would solve it, as if reflecting some truths in the years, but they could not get a full picture of it.
"This wine is so strong..."
At this moment, many disciples were finally a little drunk.
At the same time, in this intoxication, their consciousness slowly entered the Taoist scenery.
The drunkenness turned into the Taoist spirit, and they were distracted and forgetful.
The south wind plays the sound of time in the Taoist landscape, and the sound of her piano seems to disturb the years, traveling through the long river of history, year after year, and the rules of the music condense into a great avenue.
The true meaning of Long Zixuan's martial arts exploded, and he moved forward in an indomitable way, as if he was going to reach the sky, singing and singing, covering the sky with a snap of his fingers.
Lu Rang had a dream while drunk. He dreamed that he was sleeping on a green grassland, with the breeze blowing on his face. His Taoist scenery was like thousands of miles of greenery, and the green avenue stretched forward...
At this moment, Dugu Yuqing, Qingchen, Jiang Li, Xinning, Gong Ya... they were all on their way.
They all got drunk and fell down one by one.
Li Fan looked at this group of disciples and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Those who celebrated the New Year were all drunk... They couldn't keep up the New Year.
"Little greedy cat, after tonight, next year will be your birth year."
He touched Xiaobai's soft belly in his arms, but he was a little confused. Why didn't this little kitten... grow up?
When I met him and now, my body shape was about the same, and I hadn't gained weight...well, my belly was just a little softer.
Can’t you experience the joy of raising a kitten with one hand?
That's all, as long as it's healthy.
He dipped his fingers into the wine and fed it to the kitten. The kitten licked it and seemed to be drunk and fell asleep. It almost forgot to stick out its pink tongue.
It's getting late, finally, it's past midnight, and the new year has finally arrived.
The Year of the Ox has passed and the Year of the Tiger has arrived.
Li Fan first put the kitten back on the bed, and then came back to hug Ziling, Nanfeng, and Su Baiqian.
Yun Xi was a little drunk and her face was red, but she hadn't fallen down yet. Together with Li Fan, she dragged Wu Dade and the others back to the room.
"Li Fan, the fireworks are very beautiful... I like them so much... Why are the fireworks so gorgeous?"
Yunxi was drunk, but her eyes were still full of smiles. She was immersed in the beauty of the fireworks before.
Li Fan smiled slightly and said:
"Because the night is dark, the fireworks are gorgeous."
Hearing this, Yunxi smiled stupidly and said:
"I understand, because it burns itself in the dark night... Only the fire in the dark can be so beautiful..."
She tilted her head and fell into Li Fan's arms.
Li Fan hugged her gently, took her back to the room, and covered her with a quilt.
Watching her sleep peacefully, Li Fan took out a small red envelope from his arms and placed it under her pillow.
That's... New Year's money.
It feels inappropriate to have no New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, but Li Fan is really too poor...
To be honest, he has never seen money since he came to this world!
The people in the village are self-sufficient and do not trade with the outside world. He has never gone out to see the world, let alone what money in this world looks like.
Therefore, he secretly minted a few copper coins to give to his apprentices as lucky money.
It's just a metaphor and sustenance.
Therefore, he didn't take it out in public just now... After all, each apprentice only had one copper coin...
This is so shabby! ! !
After leaving Yunxi's room, he went to his disciples' rooms one by one and placed lucky money under their pillows.
Then, Li Fan sat in the small courtyard under the peach tree for a long time.
It's quiet at night.
The wind of the Year of the Tiger is blowing, and in the small courtyard, many plants are waiting for the vitality of the coming year.
Nanfeng's sacred blood grass has green growth in its yellow leaves, and Ziling's grapes have become very big.
Long Zixuan's lotus opened its leaves in the pond and floated on the water, Lu Rang's grass was beside his bed, and Qingchen's bodhi tree had grown as tall as a person.
Dugu Yuqing's Evergreen Tree has a pale trunk as thick as an arm; Jiang Li's bamboo has grown three to four meters in length over the past year; Wu Dade's Molten Gold Tree is like a huge mace with two thorns. So long and extremely sharp...
Lin Jiuzheng's unicorn tree stands tall in the courtyard, and Su Baiqian's two-leaf grass continues to grow...
Li Fan suddenly smiled slightly and said:
"Wild fire, in spring."
"The vitality is endless, but it's a pity that the flowers are the same every year, and the people are different every year..."
He got up and left.
…
Good night.
