Chapter 379: Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Night.
The long street was illuminated by starlight and lights.
There are glass lanterns hanging on the pavilions on both sides, and colorful silks decorated with spiritual beads are floating in the shadows of the lanterns. When the wind blows, the beads tinkle, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafting from the spiritual plant shop on the corner of the street fills the entire street.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, and all kinds of mooncakes are neatly arranged on the table covered with plain cloth, which is dazzling to look at.
The monks walked side by side in twos and threes, talking to each other.
Nan Xiao went out with a few brothers, and was still a little uncomfortable seeing the bustling scene on the street.
"So the cultivators in the upper realm also celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival."
She thought that the cultivators in the upper realm only knew how to practice and were not involved in worldly affairs.
Now it seems that is not entirely true.
Ye Wumian beside her smiled and patted her shoulder: "Junior Sister, cultivators also come from all over the mortal world, how can we really cut off the spirit of fireworks? The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for reunion, to worship the moon and pray for peace. This feeling is the same for immortals and mortals alike."
Su Xun said: "Third Senior Brother is right, Little Junior Sister, you have a rigid mindset."
Nan Xiao chuckled and said, "This is my first time here, so I don't understand. You'll understand later."
Her attention was quickly drawn to the various mooncakes on the roadside.
Nan Xiao turned around and looked at Jiang Xia with bright eyes: "Big Brother, let's buy one of each flavor of mooncake."
"Okay."
Jiang Xia threw a bag of spirit stones to Nan Xiao.
"Thank you, Big Brother."
Nan Xiao took the spirit stone and nimbly slipped into the crowd.
Lu Huai also tugged at Jiang Xia's sleeve: "Big Brother, I want the Jade Rabbit Candy Man over there."
Jiang Xia: "Have you used up the spirit stones I gave you yesterday?"
"I laughed."
Lu Huai confidently extended his hand: "Big Brother, you are the best, give me some more."
Jiang Xia tapped his storage ring with his fingertips, and a few lustrous spirit stones fell into his palm. He stuffed the spirit stones into her hand and said helplessly, "Don't give everything to Junior Sister. Keep some for yourself."
"I understand. Thank you, Big Brother."
Looking at his expression, I knew he didn't listen.
The two youngest ones ran away, and the remaining three or four looked at Jiang Xia with eager eyes.
"Big Brother..."
You can’t favor one over the other!!!
Jiang Xia: “…”
It seems that this gold coin is bound to explode today.
Jiang Xia held his forehead, sighed resignedly, and quickly took out a handful of spirit stones and shared them with the other two.
The two thanked him happily and went to buy things that interested them.
Jiang Xia gave another one to Qiao Yue.
"Junior sister, this is yours."
Qiao Yue raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "I have it too?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "You are also a junior sister. They all have it, so there is no reason why you don't have it."
He shook the spirit stone bag and said, "I know you don't need spirit stones, but this is a small gift from my eldest brother."
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Jiang Xia nodded and waved his hand as he turned around: "I'll go to the restaurant and wait for you. Tell the others to pay attention to the time and not to be too late."
"OK."
…
Nan Xiao was holding an oil-paper bag containing freshly baked lava mooncakes when she turned the corner and met Lu Huai.
He stood in the shadow of the lamp, holding a few sugar figures in his hands. The glass-like sugar coating gleamed translucently in the light. The moon rabbit in the front had its ears erect and a round sugar ball in its arms.
"Xiaoxiao, this is for you." Lu Huai raised his hand and handed over the most exquisite sugar man, with some icing still on his fingertips.
Nan Xiao quickly freed up one hand to take it. She couldn't help shaking it: "Wow, it's quite cute. I didn't expect you to like this."
Lu Huai looked at the sugary light reflected in her eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved up: "I just saw that the stall owner was making interesting kneadings, so I thought you might like it."
Seeing that he was holding a few more sugar figurines, Nan smiled and asked, "Are they for Senior Brother?"
"yes."
The two of them didn't linger on the street for long, and walked side by side towards the agreed restaurant.
"Junior Sister Nan, Junior Brother Lu..."
Just as the two were about to step into the restaurant, they heard someone calling behind them and looked in the direction of the voice.
Jing Zhi, Jian Mo and Zhuo Hua from Huan Hai Sect were also walking in this direction.
"What a coincidence, Senior Sister Jian, you guys are also here for dinner."
"Well, we just met Senior Sister Qiao on the road, so we came here first." Jian Mo took Nan Xiao's hand and walked in briskly, her voice still filled with the warmth of their meeting.
Lu Huai and Zhuo Hua, who were following behind, looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Seeing how these two people were talking happily, I knew that they had become the background board that was automatically ignored, so I had no choice but to carry my things and follow them slowly.
When I entered the private room on the second floor, I realized that all the people sitting there were acquaintances.
People from the Spirit Beast Sect, Changning Sect, Four Phases Sect, and even the Heavenly Sword Sect were all there.
Ye Lingling trotted over to the two of them and pushed them to their seats: "Junior Sister Nan, Senior Sister Jian, you're too late."
"What's going on?"
Ye Lingling explained, "Oh, it's just a coincidence that we all ran into each other. We haven't seen each other for a while, so we just asked for a big private room so we can all have some fun together."
Nan Xiao muttered softly, "How many of your brothers would be happy with this?"
Gu An said unhappily: “Nan Xiao, we can hear it.”
Ye Lingling simply ignored her roaring Third Brother and whispered, "It was my Third Brother who brought it up."
"The sun rises from the west?"
“…”
Seeing the two of them teasing him without any hesitation, Gu An was furious.
Song Hui poured him a glass of wine and said calmly, "The first day you met her? The angrier you are, the happier she will be."
Gu An: “…”
That’s true.
Yang Boyong, Chen Wenxuan, Su Yan, Han Yicheng, and Jiang Xia were chatting about cultivation.
Bai Cheng, Li Buyan, and Zhang Shuyi were gathered together whispering, their fingertips gesturing on the table.
Zhuo Hua, Jing Zhi, and Lu Huai sat next to Nan Xiao and Jian Mo, and the three of them chatted from time to time.
Not long after…
Zhou Shiqing and Qiao Yue had just returned, and Su Xun and Ye Wumian followed closely behind.
After everyone arrived, they exchanged a few words and took their seats.
The waiter quickly brought the dishes to a full table, which was immediately filled with aroma and tempting taste.
Several senior brothers took the lead in raising their glasses, said some auspicious words, and then started to eat.
The table is full of delicious food.
Jade wine is sweet and mellow.
Nan Xiao drank quite a bit quietly, his eyes started to become dizzy, and he felt a little dizzy.
Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't let Junior Sister drink so much."
Lu Huai: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know what's going on."
Nan Xiao leaned his head on Qiao Yue's shoulder and muttered softly: "Senior Sister, I'm not drunk..."
“…”
Outside the window, the moon quietly climbed to the zenith, and its clear light flowed over the window lattice like water, weaving silver patterns on the table, and also falling on everyone's hair and eyebrows.
The room was filled with the liveliness of wine and food, which spread outwards through the gaps in the moonlight, merging with the full moon in the sky and spreading the warmth of the autumn night all over the long street.
