Yang Yitian asked, "Which direction should we go?"
Qi Zhiheng flipped through the map and said, "Wasn't I looking at a map right now?"
Yang Yitian: "Don't you know the way?"
Qi Zhiheng replied matter-of-factly, "I've never been out before, how would I know the way?"
Yang Yitian: "..." So his husband is a country bumpkin just like him?
Traveling on horseback like them, they would pass through at least seven cities along the way, and it took them two more days to travel from Thousand Stone City to the next city.
This time, because Yang Yitian rode his horse faster, the time was greatly shortened.
Looking at the three large characters on the city gate ahead: "Wangyue City".
It was already dark when Qi Zhiheng led Yang Yitian into the city. Yang Yitian looked up at the moon and exclaimed, "The moon here is so big and so round! No wonder this place is called Moon Gazing City! It's so beautiful!" The moonlit night always makes one's mind wander!
Qi Zhiheng was not familiar with these cities, so he coughed twice and said, "That's right." He tried to hide his country bumpkin image.
The two decided to find a place to stay. The inns near the city gate would definitely be expensive. Qi Zhiheng had only brought about a thousand spirit pearls with him this time. Although it was enough for the two of them to cover their expenses on the road, they still wanted to be frugal just in case.
The streets of Wangyue City were bustling with activity. Qi Zhiheng, worried that Yang Yitian would get lost, quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Let's not rush to find a place to stay. Let's take a walk on the street."
Yang Yitian said, "Okay." Holding hands and going on a date... just thinking about it sounds pretty exciting.
The two weaved through the crowd. Qi Zhiheng listened attentively to the various discussions among the people and soon learned that this bright moon did not appear every night, but only on the full moon of each month, for a total of three days.
The most famous place in the area is the Full Moon Well on Wangyue Slope.
The Full Moon Well is a local specialty! As long as you throw offerings into the Full Moon Well when the moon is full, you will receive the blessing of the moon goddess. Many locals bring offerings to worship the moon goddess, make their wishes, and then throw offerings into the well.
The sacrificial offerings were varied and numerous. Some people slaughtered pigs and sheep, some offered cakes, and some offered a few bowls of coarse rice. Vegetables and fruits were thrown into the well.
Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng arrived at the legendary Full Moon Well. Today was not the day of the sacrifice, but a lot of people had already gathered on the Moon Gazing Slope.
The top of the slope was relatively flat, and the ground was covered with wildflowers of various colors. A large, square well sat on the slope, which Qi Zhiheng guessed must be the so-called Full Moon Well.
He pulled Yang Yitian up and said, "Let's go take a look. I heard the scenery inside the well is also very beautiful."
The two arrived at the well, where a number of people were gathered. Fortunately, the well was quite large, easily accommodating more than a dozen people.
Yang Yitian craned his neck to look and said, "The moon in this well seems bigger to us than the one in the sky?"
Qi Zhiheng had no idea why, and while he was thinking about how to answer the question, an old lady next to him answered it for him.
The old woman could tell at a glance that the two men were from out of town, and kindly explained, "Young men, you probably don't know, but a Moon Goddess lives in our Full Moon Well."
