Chapter 92 Blessed Lotus Lanterns in Pairs "It seems like you have to go with me to the Lantern Festival tonight." Lingxiang said to Xinyi behind her while tucking in the corner of the quilt for Rendong. Xinyi naturally didn't care. He was wrapping Long Qi with fine cloth and was about to agree without thinking too much. But at this time, Long Qi suddenly cried out in pain, saying that Xinyi was too heavy-handed, and he even looked back before he died. Xinyi understood immediately, and just as she was about to say "OK", she choked back and changed the topic, saying: "Rendong is seriously injured, and someone should be taking good care of him. Long Qi is injured himself, and if I leave him to him, I don't think he can take good care of him. It seems that I can't go with you." After saying this, she tied a knot on her hand for Long Qi. Hearing what he said, Long Qi was very pleased. After all, he was his brother, and Xinyi was very sensible. Ling Xiang seemed to hesitate after hearing this: "You've already said that he's injured so badly that he can't even take care of himself. How can he still follow me out?" When Long Qi heard Lingxiang's question, he stood up immediately without even putting on his clothes. "Although I was slightly injured, I can still walk. Besides, the injury is not serious. If you don't believe me, just look." As he said this, he jumped twice to show that what he said was true. "In that case, I think you can take good care of Honeysuckle. Since you are injured, shouldn't you stay in the house for a longer period of time? Or..." Before Lingxiang finished her words, Long Qi uttered an "ouch", grimaced, and said that the wound on his back was painful and he couldn't bend over, and that his arms were inconvenient and he couldn't raise them high.
"Since you are like this, it seems that I have to go to the Lantern Festival alone." Lingxiang said as she stood up from the spring stool. Hearing her say this, Long Qi's expression immediately changed, and he said with a look of certainty: "That may not be the case. Although the pain on my arms and back is unbearable, my legs and feet are still fine. I can still go to a small lantern festival and maybe encounter some happy things, which can make me get better faster." The two of them were like this, almost making Xinyi, who had been tense for a long time, laugh. Long Qi glanced at him warningly, and he calmed down and persuaded Lingxiang: "Long Qi has peculiar muscles and bones. I heard that he took your medicinal bath before. I think because of this, his wounds have begun to recover. He has never been poisoned by the demon, so he should be able to accompany you out." "But..." Long Qi didn't look like he could win the prize for her, so what was the point of taking him out? But she was interrupted by Long Qi before she could finish her sentence. Long Qi quickly put on his robe and tied his belt while urging her: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, it's already dark outside, I think the Lantern Festival has already started, if you don't hurry up you won't be able to see it." …… Lingxiang walked with a helpless look on her face, and from time to time she glanced at the foolish Long Qi beside her. She thought to herself that before going out today, she should ask her senior brothers to tell her the fortune first. This is not a visit to the Lantern Festival, this is clearly taking a silly son to the market. "Lingxiang, what do you think this is?" "Lingxiang, come and try this!" "This Lingxiang is very interesting. I bought it to play with it." …… Long Qi was like a young lady from an official family who had never been out of the house. She was curious about this and that, and then she dragged Lingxiang to buy this and that, or forced her to eat some ordinary snacks. During this period of time, she didn't even see the shadow of Gu Yanghe, and just followed him everywhere. She went to the Lantern Festival. Although she didn't expect to win the final prize, it was better to get some small lanterns than nothing. She couldn't go down the mountain and lose two boxes of elixirs for nothing, right? But this guy... "Lingxiang, look! This lotus lantern is so interesting, it can even open and close!" Long Qi excitedly shouted to Lingxiang while holding a lantern sold at a street stall. Lingxiang just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This guy was so surprised by what he had seen. It was really... "Young master, these lanterns are for a pair. From your attitude, you must be taking this girl to see the lantern festival. If you buy a pair, and put them into the Guyang River with your beloved during the lantern festival, you can pray for blessings from the heavenly officials and a happy marriage for the two of you." The lantern vendor saw Long Qi like this and rubbed his hands and said with a smile, his squinting eyes narrowed into slits. Lingxiang sneered when she heard this. If praying had worked, she wouldn't still be at the Foundation Building stage. In the end, she still has to find a way out for herself.
Thinking of this, Lingxiang turned and left, but Long Qi approached the lamp vendor and started biting his ear. "Can it really bless marriage?" "Of course I'm serious. I never lie to anyone." The peddler said as he rubbed his hands even harder. He was just thinking in his heart, after all, he is a young boy, so this deal will probably be successful. Long Qi didn't doubt it and quickly reached into his arms: "How much do you want to sell it for?" "Twenty copper coins." said the old man selling lamps, holding up two fingers. When Long Qi heard this, he immediately hesitated. Since he joined the Yuanqing Sect, the sect has given him 200 copper coins every month for pocket money, but he was reluctant to spend any of it. Now two lamps cost him 20 copper coins. This is really... The lantern vendor seemed to see Long Qi's hesitation, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young man, this is a top-quality prayer lotus lantern, and it is the only one you can find. If you miss this opportunity, you will never find another one. If someone else buys it, it will only help to create someone else's marriage. Look, the girl has already gone far away." Upon hearing this, Long Qi made up his mind, took out a handful of copper coins, and handed them to the lamp vendor without even counting them. The peddler did not count the coins. He just took the copper coins and put them into his bag. He then took out two pieces of paper, wrote something on them, and stuffed them into the two lotus lanterns. Finally, he tied a red rope between the two lotus lanterns. “Young man, be careful not to take off the red rope. Wait until the hour of Hai to enter a state of meditation, and then put them into the river. When the heavenly official sees them, he will bless you two.” The peddler said as he handed the lantern to Long Qi. Long Qi didn't expect that the vendor would prepare paper and pen when selling lanterns. Although he didn't know what he wrote, he thought it should be auspicious words such as praying for blessings from the gods. "Okay, I'll take your good words. If it really comes true, I will burn two sticks of incense for you in the Banshan Temple one day, and bless you to have a prosperous business and longevity." When the vendor heard this, he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "In that case, I'll give you another good thing. Come here." Seeing that the peddler was covering his hands as if he wanted to tell him something in secret, Long Qi leaned over to listen. After the peddler finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Long Qi to quickly chase Lingxiang. Long Qi didn't stop for long. He clenched his fist and chased after him. At this moment, a figure flashed by, and in an instant, the lamp vendor disappeared. The place where the lamps were originally sold became a stall selling snacks, and the people around seemed to have no idea what had happened here. They were still doing business and rushing on their way. Of course, Long Qi didn't know all this. Now he was only thinking about how to hide this matter from Ling Xiang. He didn't care whether it was true or false, or whether it worked or not. (End of this chapter)
