Chapter 169 There is a fairy in this lantern, and it also has its own fragrance
"Yeah! Are there any fresh ones?"
"yes!"
Shopkeeper Dong made a gesture to silence the crowd. "Don't worry, today is not an ordinary day. The winner of today will win a palace lantern with the work of Master Mo Qiu, 'National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance'"
As he spoke, an exquisite lamp was seen rising on the high platform. On the lamp was painted a rich and gorgeous peony. A woman was dancing among them, and butterflies fluttered with her.
A cloud of mist enveloped the place, and then the woman on the palace lantern flew out.
"Ha! It's alive. Is it a fairy? She actually flew out of the lantern."
"Is this, my eyes are blurry?"
"It's not a flower, it's real." Shopkeeper Dong said loudly on the high platform, "This is what Master Mo Qiu is most proud of. The magical thing is that when this lantern is lit, it has its own fragrance, and the mist is lingering, and the woman will fly out."
[Tsk tsk, it sounds so real. This is a human skin lantern. The fragrance is just added spices, which may even cause hallucinations. The mist is yin energy.]
Zheng Anning crossed his arms and curled his lips in the audience, muttering disdainfully in his heart.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the voice, and their attention was drawn to who was speaking?
What kind of spice? Hallucinogenic? Human skin lantern? Is this even human language?
Why can’t I understand!
[Why did this human skin lantern appear again? Who is this Master Mo Qiu? ]
[Ah! So that's how it is. Master Mo Qiu actually used her daughter's skin. She raised her carefully since she was young, fed her special food, and applied special plasters.]
[You also have to take a special medicinal bath and bathe every day]
[Let his daughter's skin be translucent from the inside out, and have a natural fragrance. ]
[Tsk, this is totally disregarding human ethics, he is a pervert. He even monitored the woman's every move and restricted her from contacting strangers and eating anything she wanted.
He also raised women and cats, and skinned them when they were at their most beautiful.
Everyone: ........
Many people felt a chill down their spines. This man was simply inhumane and not worthy of being a human being.
Everyone was whispering, not daring to say a word. Mo Qiu was a master of his generation, skilled in lantern making, and specialized in making exquisite lanterns for nobles, and they were hard to come by.
It is unthinkable that he really did such a bad thing.
Zheng An Ning looked at the lantern. This lantern was filled with great resentment. One could imagine what it had experienced in its lifetime. Moreover, this lantern was obviously different from the last one.
The body of this lantern glows from the inside out, and it is white and smooth, clearly from the prime of youth. How could the work of a lantern maker compare to this?
Shopkeeper Dong also felt a chill on his back and felt uncomfortable all over. No way! Could it be that this lantern was really not clean?
A wolfhound on the stage sneaked towards the palace lantern, but unfortunately the lantern was hung a little high and it couldn't reach it, so it was very anxious.
"Wolf, there is a wolf"
Someone in the audience pointed behind Shopkeeper Dong and motioned him to look back.
Shopkeeper Dong's body froze, and he looked back hurriedly, only to see a strange wolf standing upright, eager to pull the lamp down.
"Come on, catch it. Where did this wolf come from?"
The shopkeeper called his men anxiously.
, "Don't touch the light."
Zheng Anning and others looked at Erha in surprise, and looked at each other, wondering how it got up there?
"What should we do? An An?" Zheng Wanning looked at the surrounded Husky with some headache.
"Don't worry, it's not easy to catch."
When Erha saw so many people surrounding him, he slipped away quietly, waiting for them not to pay attention before stealing.
When Shopkeeper Dong saw Erha leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain the rules to everyone. Simply put, it was a literary competition. Whoever wrote the best poem would get the lantern. At the same time, the second and third place winners would receive different rewards.
"For this purpose, we have also invited several famous masters from the Great Zhou to serve as judges, including Mr. Leng Hua, who is known as the Immortal Poet, and even Master Mo Qiu is here."
........
The people in the audience were a little hesitant at first, but they all looked at the palace lanterns. It seemed as if there was some kind of magic, and they suddenly felt motivated to go up and compete.
Talented men and beautiful women from Kyoto came to join in the fun, even Zheng Yunyu and Zheng Yunfei gathered together, and they were with Zheng Yunchen.
Ye Moli looked at the lamp with determination, his eyes full of obsession, and he wanted to hug it to sleep.
Many talented people went up to write poems, regardless of gender, and many women also went up. For a while, the scene was particularly harmonious, and the competition was very fierce.
Zheng Yunxuan also wanted to go, but was stopped by Zheng Anning.
........
The incense spread, gradually making people's eyes red.
In a flash, he rushed onto the stage and shouted crazily, "Mine, this is my lamp, no one can take it away from me!"
Another person rushed onto the stage, pushed the man to the ground, and stomped on him viciously, "Mine, that's mine!"
"Hahahahahahaha, this is mine, no one can take it away from me."
Shopkeeper Dong quickly asked people to maintain order, "Come here, take them down, quickly."
The crowd around began to stir, as ferocious as wild beasts.
"What's going on? Why did they suddenly go crazy?" Chu Minglan protected Zheng Wanning to prevent her from being knocked down.
They all ran towards the stage as if they had lost their souls.
The shopkeeper and judges on the stage were pushed away before they could stop it.
"Stop, stop it, what are you doing?" Shopkeeper Dong was anxiously standing aside. What if the lamp was broken?
"They are bewitched by the lamp. It can cause hallucinations in the first place, and if they stare at it for a long time, their minds will be controlled." Zheng An Ning said in a cold voice, and quickly tapped the center of the eyebrows of several people. They instantly felt calm and focused.
"What should we do? If this continues, someone will die?" Zheng Yunxuan asked worriedly.
Erha saw a lot of people fighting on the stage not far away, and with a nasty smile on his face, he quickly flew towards the lantern, stepped on everyone's heads, and with a jump, he took the lantern down.
Erha shook his head and walked towards Zheng Anning and others in a mean manner.
"Someone is stealing the lamp!"
"Chase the lamp thief."
[No, Erha, don't come over here, ah!] Zheng Anning said to herself, hoping that Erha could be more sensible.
The bewildered crowd turned around suddenly and saw Erha walking up to Zheng Anning and handing it to her like offering a treasure.
They stared at Zheng Anning and the others with fierce eyes, like wolves and tigers, and chased after them.
[Fuck you, Erha, you idiot, you're causing trouble for me. ]
Zheng Anning pulled Erha, holding the lantern, and ran forward first, "Run!"
"Run, run in different directions!" Zheng Yunxuan had just finished speaking when he saw Zheng Wanning and Chu Minglan a few meters away from them, indicating that they were not familiar with each other.
Rong Lin and Zheng An Ning had already run far away, their speed was so fast that they became a shadow. Only he stayed where he was, being bumped into by others continuously, looking mad and messy.
No, can you give him a hand next time you run?
Zheng Yunxuan was helpless, none of them were reliable.
Ye Moli was still standing there, staring at the lanterns in fascination. Wait, where are the lanterns?
Then he was ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the lost crowd, and everyone stepped on him.
"Ah, who? Who hit me? You're trying to kill yourself. Do you know who I am?"
