Chapter 1099 Lantern Boat
The seemingly ordinary old man in front of him smiled nonchalantly, "If it weren't for the mysterious music during the day, perhaps this life would have been hopeless. After today, we can only meet in the underworld next year."
This made the Grand Elder very jealous, and if the younger generation had not been present, he would have bowed his head in anger.
"I have gained a lot of insights from this breakthrough. You can stay here for a few days and I will tell you."
The old man said seriously.
"good."
The Grand Elder nodded, but then said, "I have a small matter to take care of. Old Ghost, are you willing to come with me?"
The old man looked at the Yunxia disciple behind the Grand Elder and naturally guessed what was going on.
He didn't want to get involved in the sect's affairs.
But now that I have made a breakthrough, I am in a good mood. "I think this area has almost forgotten the old ghost, so let's go take a look."
The Yunxia disciples all looked excited.
They had learned from the conversation between the old man and the Grand Elder that the seemingly ordinary old man before them had already broken through to the Invincible Realm.
In this area, it is already a legendary existence.
Now that I can witness this kind of person in action with my own eyes, it will definitely be of great benefit to my own practice.
Senior Brother Yunxia also has hope.
After asking.
The Supreme Elder walked side by side with the old man towards the river bank.
The Lantern Festival has already started.
The lotus-shaped lanterns float on the surface of the river, reflecting fragmented light and shadows on the rippling surface of the river.
Lin Yue and his companions paid Yao Zhu, came on the boat, and found a place to sit down.
On the plywood, there was a charming dancer, wearing a tulle and with cinnabar on her forehead. She twisted her waist to the sound of bells and drums, and against the backdrop of the lights, she attracted most of the attention.
The Jade Purity Goddess also watched with great interest.
After all, these were all new things to her, things she had never seen before.
At this moment, among the bustling crowd on the boat, there was a little girl in tattered clothes, holding an eye box that was bigger than her body. She had a timid look in her eyes and asked the seated guests carefully.
But most of the time, I was looked at with disgust.
The little girl's attire really spoiled the mood at the lantern festival.
Her frail body swayed left and right as the crowd moved by, like a leaf on the water, and she managed to move around with great difficulty.
"Master, do you need a lantern? I made it myself. It only costs five cents."
There was hope in the girl's eyes.
"Get out of my way! Don't disturb me from watching the dance music!"
The little girl was pushed away impatiently.
The man used too much force and did not take into account that the child in front of him was only seven or eight years old.
Moreover, due to lack of food and clothing, he was very thin and had a pale face.
She didn't have time to react, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
The lanterns fell to the ground.
It was trampled to pieces by people passing by.
The little girl quickly knelt on the ground and tried to pick up the lantern, but there were too many people passing by and no one noticed the thing under her feet.
Even if they saw it, they would just curse inwardly in disgust and dirty their feet.
The little girl put the intact lantern into the wooden box and apologized to the person who pushed her down, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to block you."
The man was looking at the splint with lustful eyes at this moment, and had no time to pay any attention to the little girl.
Even though she got no response, she continued to mutter.
She fiddled with the broken lanterns, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, "Mom, Yue'er is such a loser. Not only did she fail to sell the lanterns, but she also broke so many of them..."
But soon, she tried hard to hold back her tears and continued to move forward. However, after this incident, she became even more timid and would observe and hesitate for a while before going forward to ask.
Before they knew it, the little girl was at the location where Lin Yue and the others were.
No one knew where the first Qilin and his companions had gone, and the Lord of the Sea Realm was forced to follow them.
The little girl stood beside Lin Yue and the others for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, Miss, are you going to buy some lanterns? These were made by my mother and I. They are very beautiful..."
The little girl took out a complete lantern and stood aside, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do because she was afraid of blocking the view of Lin Yue and the others.
The Jade Purity Goddess squatted down and looked at the little girl's hand, the rabbit-shaped lantern, and smiled sweetly, "It's really beautiful, how much is it?"
Seeing that the Jade Purity Goddess was interested, the little girl was very happy. "Five cents, no no, I just accidentally dropped the lantern, Fairy sister, three cents, is that okay?"
The little girl held a lantern, her watery eyes filled with hope.
The Jade Purity Goddess looked at the little girl's red and swollen back of her hand, which was obviously caused by being stepped on when she was picking up the fallen lantern.
The Jade Purity Goddess stroked the little girl's red and swollen hand, her eyebrows slightly frowned, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
The little girl shook her head. (5,0);
"Little sister, how many lanterns do you have?"
Lin Yue touched the little girl's head and asked with a faint smile.
"Sir, what do you mean..."
The little girl blinked her black eyes.
"Yes, I want them all."
Lin Yue nodded.
"Ah... this! For lanterns, each person can release one by the river and make a wish."
The little girl suggested.
“We still have quite a few people here.”
The Jade Purity Goddess smiled sweetly.
This is completely different from her cold and lonely appearance in the Heavenly Realm, as if this is the real Jade Purity Goddess.
"Well, let me count, one, two, three..." The little girl put the wooden box on the ground, carefully took out the lanterns, and put them up. "There are still seven intact ones. Sir, you bought so many, so I'll charge two cents each. Is that okay?"
The little girl had carefully calculated the fourteen cents. She would use ten cents to buy medicine for her mother, and with the rest, she could take two taels of meat back from the Lantern Festival.
Lin Yue took out a few silver coins and gave them to the little girl.
"Sir, you've given me too much. I...I can't take it."
The little girl was obviously frightened when she saw the white silver.
For ordinary people in the world, copper coins, silver, etc. are still the common currency.
A few pieces of silver were of great value to the little girl, enough to feed her and her mother for several months.
"My mother taught me not to be greedy. In business, one must be honest and never ask for too many customers."
The little girl continued.
At this time, the person in charge on the boat noticed this place and said, "Where did this little beggar come from to beg for money here!"
"My dear guests, I am so sorry. It was our negligence."
As he said that, the big man stepped forward and was about to pick up the little girl and throw her overboard.
The little girl looked terrified and was stunned.
"We brought this here. What are you doing?"
Lin Yue spoke calmly, and as he spoke, he threw over a few obsidian stones.
The big man took the obsidian and was overjoyed. He immediately stopped and said, "So it was you who brought it on board. That's fine. I wish you three a good time on board."
"You can go now."
Lin Yue was indifferent.
"Okay!"
The big man left with a smile.
"You're not scared, are you?"
The Jade Purity Goddess touched the little girl's head.
"No."
The little girl shook her head hard, "Sir, Miss, don't you think I'm dirty?
Those customers seemed to dislike me.”
Lin Yue said, "It's not the appearance that's dirty, it's the heart."
He seemed to understand something and said to the little girl with a smile.
The Jade Purity Goddess took the silver coins and said, "Take this. I like you. The lanterns you made are worth this price."
The Jade Purity Goddess carefully placed the silver into the little girl's hands. At the same time, gentle power emanated from her palms to repair the little girl's wounds.
"Thank you, Miss."
"Sister sounds better."
The Jade Purity Goddess scratched the little girl's nose.
"Big...sister...sister."
The little girl felt a little embarrassed, her eyes were moist, and she was very moved.
At this time, the Yunxia Sect members and the old man flew into the air and came to the boat.
The captivating aura shocked everyone here, and all the sounds stopped abruptly.
The dancer in gauze quickly retreated.
“Where is the person in the restaurant who offended my Yunxia Sect disciples?
!”
A disciple of the Yunxia Sect started to shout, and his voice formed waves of air, and some of the lanterns on the river were shattered.
"Will you stay here with big sis?"
Lin Yue said to the little girl with a smile.
"Sir, are they here to see you?"
the little girl inquired.
"People who wear this kind of clothes are the most dangerous. You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, they can't do anything to big brother. Big brother is very powerful."
The Jade Purity Goddess took the little girl's hand and sat aside, saying with a smile.
The scene was silent for a while. Some people felt the pressure from the Grand Elder and dared not even breathe.
At the same time, some monks recognized the identity of the Supreme Elder and were extremely shocked.
