Chapter 246 August 15th
Bai Lingfeng was rescued, but fortunately the blood harp was not taken away. The three searched Bai Lingfeng's room but found nothing. It was obvious that she was just using the name of Madam Wang and did not actually live here for long.
Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng had thrown away their outer clothes because they were covered with poisonous incense ash. Now they were only wearing their inner clothes, which was not appropriate, so they planned to go back to the inn first.
Inn
"Ah?" Qingqing was confused when she saw the three people looking a little confused. What happened? Why did they come back in such disheveled clothes?
"Silly girl, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get someone to prepare water for bathing! We are covered in poisonous incense ash." Qing Yi looked at Qingqing's silly face and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh! I'll go right away!" Qingqing ran out quickly.
After a while, Qingqing brought the waiter over with a bath bucket, and she also prepared new clothes for her master.
Qingfeng also went to take a bath on his own.
"Xiao Ye, wash it first!" Qing Yi was applying ointment on the wound on his finger. Although it was not serious, it could not leave any scars.
Ye Qingyu didn't say anything and slowly walked towards the bathtub. After he took a bath and changed his clothes, he looked at Qingyi with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Huh? What's wrong, Xiaoye?" Qing Yi had been paying attention to Xiaoye's emotions. He intuitively felt that Bai Lingfeng's words must have hurt Xiaoye. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, there must be a reason for her words.
"Qingyi, how did you detoxify Qingfeng?"
"Ah? What's wrong? Same as you! What else can I do in that situation?" Qing Yi was confused by the question.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu stopped talking.
Qing Yi called the waiter, brought out the bath tub, and changed the water in the tub. Only then did he take a comfortable bath. Although the poisonous incense ash had no effect on him, he didn't like the smell either.
"Xiao Ye, what is the secret of the blood harp? It doesn't look anything special to me." After taking a bath, Qing Yi played with the legendary blood harp.
"At that time, it was said that the Blood Harp and the Magic Flute met. There must be a secret, and perhaps the Magic Flute is also needed." Ye Qingyu analyzed.
"I left the magic flute in the Demon Cult and didn't bring it with me. Why don't we go get it?" Qing Yi suggested. It would be great if they could go back to the Western Region Demon Cult so that they could see their treasures.
"Go to the Western Regions?" Ye Qingyu looked at Qingyi, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back and get it, and we'll meet up again."
"Ah? This..." Qing Yi didn't expect Xiao Ye to actually come up with the idea of splitting up. How could this be possible? Seeing that his little plan had failed, he had no choice but to say, "Forget it. The journey is too far. I'll send a message to my senior brother and ask him to send someone to deliver it."
"The Magic Flute is poisonous..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Although they are not immune to all poisons like me, they still have a way to deliver it. If the people from the Demon Cult don't even have this ability, they will be too useless." Qing Yi said proudly.
"Okay. We'll set off tomorrow." Ye Qingyu kept Bai Lingfeng's matter in his heart. He must find Bai Lingfeng and ask her clearly!
"Master." A soft voice came from outside.
When it's time for dinner, Qingqing comes to ask the master what he wants to eat?
"Xiao Ye, let's go out to eat." Qing Yi suggested, mainly because he wanted to drink.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded. He was very much in line with other people's opinions on these trivial matters in life. Of course, this did not mean that the Little Prince of the Northwest was not picky.
When the four of them came out, it was already dark. They found lanterns hanging outside, decorations with lights and colorful lights, and a crowd of people walking in one direction.
"Hey, so lively? What's going on?" The four of them were puzzled.
"Hello? Hey? Why is it so lively so late at night?" Qing Yi stopped a passerby and asked.
"...Don't you know what day it is today?" A passerby looked at Qing Yi in surprise.
"What day is it?"
"Oh, yes, today is August 15th!" Qingqing suddenly clapped her hands. She actually forgot such an important day!
"Haha." The passerby looked at the four people like fools. How could they even forget the Mid-Autumn Festival?
"Where are you going?" Qing Yi grabbed a passerby who was about to leave in a hurry and asked.
"Hey... don't pull me. There is a moon worship ceremony today. There will be no seat if you are late! The wishes you make to the moon god will come true!" The passerby said and ran away quickly.
"Moon Worship Ceremony?" Qing Yi and Qing Qing were both eager to try, and they looked at Ye Qingyu at the same time.
Ye Qingyu didn't like to join in the fun, but when she looked up at Qing Yi and Qing Qing's expectant gaze, she had no choice but to say, "Since we're here, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Yi reached out and grabbed Ye Qingyu's hand, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, didn't you hear that person just say there will be no room if you're late?"
The four of them followed the crowd and walked forward. When they reached the bank of Yu River, there were indeed huge crowds of people. Qingyi and Qingqing were both smart people. They dodged left and right and found a good position in the front.
In the open space by the river, a moon altar was erected, with a three-tiered white jade incense table on top. On the table, white porcelain plates were placed various fruits, moon cakes, and wine glasses filled with wine...
An old man with a white beard walked to the center of the Moon Altar, holding a yellowed booklet in his hand. He cleared his throat and said, "The auspicious time has come, worship the moon~" As soon as he finished speaking, the altar became quiet.
Qing Yi and his three companions saw that everyone around them suddenly knelt down. The four of them felt very awkward standing there. The old man at the Moon Altar looked at them, as if waiting.
The four of them couldn't walk out now unless they used some lightness skills, but standing was not appropriate, so they had to squat down like everyone else.
Seeing this, the old man took three incense sticks, lit them, raised his hands above his head, and bowed three times to the moon. Then he placed them in the incense burner, picked up the wine cup on the table, and poured it on the bluestone ground in front of the incense table. He said the auspicious words according to the yellowed book: "May the moon god bless us, the weather be good, and every family be reunited..."
After the old man finished his worship, the people below the altar began to move forward in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Ye Qingyu wanted to get up and leave, but Qingyi grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Let's go and worship too!" Qing Yi whispered to Ye Qingyu.
"..." Ye Qingyu looked at Qingyi in confusion.
"I have something to pray to the Moon Goddess." Qing Yi said with a rather mysterious smile.
"Hurry up!" the people beside him urged. Qing Yi did not allow Ye Qingyu to refute him and dragged him up to the Moon Altar. Qing Feng and Qing Qing were a little embarrassed. What should they do?
Qing Yi and Ye Qingyu bowed three times to the Moon Goddess at the Moon Altar. No one knew what wishes they made.
Qingfeng and Qingqing were also very embarrassed and climbed up the Moon Altar under urging, each with their own requests.
After the four of them worshipped the Moon Goddess, they walked down the Yu River, where they saw many lanterns.
"This lantern is so beautiful! We in Northwest City can't make such beautiful lanterns!" Qingqing was so fond of it that she couldn't move her feet.
"Like it? Let's make it ourselves!" Qing Yi said.
