Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 362 Lantern Festival and Accident

Unknowingly, before walking to a certain building, there is a small square in front of the door. At this moment, a large number of monks are gathered here, arguing with rows of lanterns floating above their heads.

Mo Juren stared at it, and it turned out to be a place for guessing lantern riddles, no wonder it attracted so many people to watch.

Guessing lantern riddles is originally an entertainment item in the common world, but because of its fun, it is also very popular among immortal practitioners.Especially in the special environment where immortals and mortals live together like Chaotic Star Sea, similar situations are not uncommon.

Because it is facing cultivators, this activity has also been upgraded to a certain extent, which can be called a high-level version.

All the lanterns are suspended in the sky, covering almost the entire small square.Moreover, each lantern is made with utmost care and style, making people fall in love with it at a glance.The surface of the lantern is full of strange runes. Hundreds of thousands of lanterns are combined to form a special formation specially designed to conceal the detection of the spirit. Even he can't see what's going on inside the lantern.

Mo Juren was a little surprised, isn't it just guessing lantern riddles, why is it so mysterious?It wasn't until seeing a certain guesser take out a low-level magic weapon from the lantern that he suddenly realized that he could still open the treasure chest!

What's more special is that even if the individual lanterns are taken away, the effect of the combined magic circle will not be affected at all.

His eyes suddenly noticed a certain place in the square, where a small flag was hanging, and a series of rules were clearly listed on it.Sure enough, there is a logo of treasure in the lamp, and it is also mentioned that each person is limited to one, and it is not allowed to take more than one.

The two girls, Wang Ying, were also standing together among the crowd, pointing at the lanterns from time to time, their faces brimming with unconcealable excitement.

Seeing him approaching, the former immediately looked happy, and said with a light shake of his jade arm: "Brother Mo, come quickly and help me guess this one."

Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help being a little speechless, he wanted to go crazy, what did he call him?
As a human being in two lives, what kind of entertainment programs have you never seen before?How could they be as interested in lantern riddles as these 'ancient people'?
Wang Ying didn't care about this, seeing that he was unmoved, she thought it was because she couldn't let go of her face, so she trotted over directly, and then took his arm and forced her into the crowd.

"Three autumn leaves will fall, and February flowers will bloom. A thousand feet of waves across the river, and ten thousand poles leaning into the bamboo (quote)" Looking at the verses hanging from one of the lanterns, Mo Juren's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head with a half-smile asked,
"You really can't guess this lantern riddle?"

"Yes... yes... what's the matter?" Wang Ying's face turned reddish, and she averted her gaze towards the other party.

"Where is Miss Zhuo, can't you guess it?" Mo Juren didn't continue to point out the other party, but turned to the side and asked again.

"Me?" Zhuo Ruting was startled when asked about herself, then shook her head and said,
"Senior Mo, forgive me, but this junior is not interested in this way, so I won't participate."

"..."

Mo Juren was speechless, as long as we get along as equals, there is no need to be so rigid.

The fingertips shimmered, and a burst of magic power shot out, and the word 'wind' was written directly on a blank space above the lantern.In an instant, the surface of the lantern flickered, and then flew down.

Seeing this, he shot out another mana in his hand, holding up the lantern and slowly floating in front of the opponent.

"Brother Mo is really quick-witted, otherwise, my little sister would just be helpless by looking at this glazed lamp." Wang Ying accepted it with joy, and praised it without hesitation.

"As long as you like it." The corner of Mo Juren's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't bother to argue.

Wang Ying didn't seem to notice the strangeness on the other party's face, but slowly opened the upper part of the lantern with Zhuo Ruting.With a flash of blue light, a pair of exquisitely shaped blue ice jade bracelets appeared in sight. The style tends to be simple but elegant, and it exudes a faint chill.

"It's so beautiful!" The moment they saw the blue ice bracelet, both women's eyes lit up.

Mo Juren was also a little surprised, this bracelet is not low in grade, it has reached the top.This is not easy, although treasures can be opened in the lantern, but it is obviously just a lottery, there will not be too many good things.

Being able to open a top-level magic weapon is definitely an explosion of luck.But the attention of the two is obviously not on this, but more on the appearance of the bracelet.

Wang Ying took out one of them and put it on her snow-white jade wrist. The already beautiful woman looked even more delicate and unparalleled against the background of the bracelet.

"Brother Mo, is it pretty?"

"That's right, I match you very well." Mo Juren didn't play it off this time, the other party didn't change back to his usual ordinary appearance at this time, he was indeed very beautiful.

It's just that according to his guess, there is a great possibility that this appearance is also not the real one, which is a pity.

Hearing his praise, Wang Ying was obviously very happy, and even whispered with Zhuo Ruting who was beside her, and then took out the other one and stuffed it into the opponent's hand.

Zhuo Ruting quickly refused, this is a top-level magic weapon, and it is definitely of great value to her as a foundation-building monk.Moreover, the two jade bracelets are obviously a set, and they can only be called the top level if they are used together. If they are separated, their power will be greatly weakened.

"You and I have been sisters for many years, and I will be angry if you say such outspoken words." Wang Ying glared at the other party pretending to be annoyed, and then put the ice bracelet on the other party directly.

"That's right, with this bracelet, it's better than my sister."

"No, my sister is just because..."

"Cough cough..."

Zhuo Ruting was speaking normally, but was suddenly interrupted by Wang Ying's dry cough, and asked Mo Juren: "Brother Mo, why don't you tell me, is sister Zhuo more suitable for this ice bracelet?"

This is true, Zhuo Ruting has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk, giving people a feeling that it is difficult to get close to each other. It really complements this ice jade bracelet.

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, not say it.On the issue of beauty, any woman is 'stingy', and the last thing she wants to hear is that she is inferior to others.

Mo Juren had a deep understanding of this, so he smiled and said, "They're both pretty good, as long as you two like them. How about it, do you want to guess another one? Maybe there will be a bigger harvest?"

Wang Ying naturally heard that the other party deliberately avoided answering, and she was cunning in her heart.But he didn't continue to ask, and started to search again with Zhuo Ruting.

The latter is also very excited, if he can get another top-level magic weapon, even a high-level magic weapon will do.For a monk like her in the foundation period, it is definitely a big gain.

It's a pity that good luck can't be favored all the time. The second guessed lantern only got a silver ribbon, which is very delicate but doesn't have any mana fluctuations. It's obviously just an ordinary accessory.

The two women couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and then looked at Mo Juren, who was the only one left. Among the three, he was the only one who had another chance.

"I'll forget it, I've stayed here for so long, let's go somewhere else?" Mo Juren shook his head directly and chose to refuse.

"Alright then." Seeing that he was unwilling and the two women couldn't force it, they nodded in agreement.

Time passed slowly, and the three of them wandered around the main street of No. [-] C Zi for an entire hour, and they didn't return until late at night.

The two women obviously had something to say, and when they came to the 'Chenyuanju', they were still talking in low voices with great interest, and each held a lantern in Yu's hand, which was quite interesting.

There are not only two women, there are quite a few monks walking on the street with lanterns, and most of them are women, which can be regarded as a unique scene in the Lantern Festival.

Mo Juren couldn't help but feel that Fengle City did a good job in entertainment, and thoughtful consideration of many details, no wonder it was able to attract so many monks.

The shops on the main streets are open all day, and they will not rest at night.It's just that compared to the bustling 'Guangtong Building' opposite, 'Chenyuanju' is a little quieter.

The three of them did not delay and were about to go to the first floor immediately.But at this moment, a voice of surprise suddenly sounded in their ears, causing the three of them to stop instantly.

"Ying'er, you're finally back!" A figure hurried out of the darkness, seeing its appearance, Mo Juren couldn't help being startled, it turned out to be Cheng Yang, the former young master of Kamikaze Island.

He had thought of this person when he was visiting the Lantern Festival just now, but he couldn't help talking about him so much, and he appeared after a while.

Speaking of which, apart from the original transaction, the two parties basically had no contact with each other, so naturally they were not acquainted with each other.So after seeing the other party, he didn't say anything, just stood by and watched quietly.

He thought so, but the other party obviously didn't.The moment he saw Wang Ying, he was smiling all over his face, but when his eyes shifted to him, the smile disappeared instantly, and a icy coldness flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

Mo Juren couldn't help but feel speechless, this guy is really tough, a foundation cultivator dares to show such malicious eyes to him, is he looking for death?

"Why are you here? And how did you find out where I live?" Wang Yingxiu frowned and asked with some doubts.It was no secret that she and Zhuo Ruting came to Fengle City, but it was a temporary decision to live in the 'Chenyuan Residence'.According to common sense, even if the other party came to look for it, it would be impossible to find it so quickly?
"A good friend of mine lives in Guangtong Building. He happened to see you and Ms. Zhuo during the day, and then gave me news..." Cheng Yang didn't hide anything, and immediately explained the reason.

"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Wang Ying asked again. It would be fine if it was a coincidence, but if it wasn't because of other reasons such as stalking, that would be another story.

"I swear to the sky, if I have made any false statements just now, I will be struck by lightning!" Sensing the suspicion of his sweetheart, Cheng Yang quickly raised his hand to swear, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand.

"It's fine if you didn't lie to me, and you don't have to swear it's so serious." Wang Ying looked slightly relieved, and continued,
"I'm a little tired after walking around for so long, so I won't waste the time of Fellow Daoist Cheng, so I'll leave for now."

Pulling Zhuo Ruting for a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and said,

"One more thing, I hope Fellow Daoist Cheng don't call Yinger this title again, so as not to cause misunderstandings by others."

"Ying'er, don't be angry, I..." Cheng Yang became impatient, and hurriedly took a step forward to distinguish, but suddenly saw the other party's cold eyes, and his momentum suddenly weakened,

"Okay, Ying...Master Wang, don't leave in a hurry. I have something important to tell you about my visit this time. It's about the future of Miaoyinmen, so you should listen to it no matter what."

"What's the matter?" Wang Ying stopped immediately when she heard that the matter was not related to the sect.

"It's not convenient here, let's talk about it in a safe place." Cheng Yang paused, and said again,

"I booked a nice elegant room in Guangtong Building, where should I go?"

"If you really have something to do, you can just talk about it here. As for going to Guangtong Building, forget it." Wang Ying glanced at the other party, with a trace of distrust in her bright eyes.

"No, this matter is very important, we must find a safe place." Cheng Yang did not compromise this time and insisted.

"Then go to my residence. It is allowed to stay in Chenyuan Pavilion for a while." Wang Ying proposed again. Hearing this, Cheng Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable loss.After so many years, the other party still doesn't trust him.

However, thinking about the things to be discussed next, the loss was fleeting, and he regained his spirit,
"Alright, just go to Ying...you."

After the discussion was made, the four of them went to Chenyuanju together.On the way, Cheng Yang didn't speak any more, but glanced somewhere from time to time. Although the disgust and vigilance were well concealed, Mo Juren still caught him.

After a few people went up to the top floor, they found that the two parties lived next to each other. The 'jealousy' in Cheng Yang's heart became more and more intense, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.

Mo Juren's eyes narrowed slightly. He asked himself that he had never offended the other party, but he was disgusted by such stares all the time. Did he really think he was a nice man?
A cold snort followed, and when it reached Cheng Yang's ears, it seemed as if it had exploded. It shook him instantly, causing his headache to split and his eyes to stare.

Mo Juren just punished and admonished him slightly, and he didn't pursue further. He greeted the two women and went directly to his room.

Cheng Yang let go of the hands holding his head, and he was secretly shocked. At this moment, he finally realized that he was a little bored, only caring about jealousy, but ignoring the reality.The other party is a genuine alchemy cultivator, how can he provoke him?
Even if you want to provoke, it shouldn't be now, at least you must have your own alchemy monks present.As the young master of Kamikaze Island, he is not afraid of a casual cultivator on the other side.

"Master Wang, why did you live with this person and live in Chenyuanju together?" Cheng Yang also entered the elegant room, he couldn't help it, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"I came to the 'Wan Fu Hui', and I happened to meet Brother Mo, so we got together. What, is there a problem?" Wang Ying was startled for a moment, and then asked back.

"Then why did you go to the Lantern Festival together again, and even showed such a look, shouldn't you avoid..." Cheng Yang was about to ask, but was interrupted by the other party in a cold voice,

"Young Master Cheng, what is the meaning of this? Who are you to me? Do I need your permission to make friends with anyone or go shopping?"

"No...it's not." Cheng Yang's face suddenly changed, knowing that he shouldn't be suspicious of the other party.After all, after so many years of acquaintance, the person surnamed Mo has never appeared before, and the two parties obviously did not have such a thing.The reason for the anxious questioning was just jealousy in my heart, and I quickly explained,

"Ying...Master Wang, don't get me wrong. I'm just asking casually, without any other meaning."

"It's fine if you don't have one." Wang Ying's indifferent expression eased a bit. After all, we've known each other for so many years, and they can be regarded as friends, so it's not good to continue to scold the other party.It's just that when I think about all the deeds of the person in front of me over the years, I can't help but feel a little headache.

She knew what the other party was thinking, but she never had such thoughts.

Over the years, she avoided the other party's entanglement not once or twice, but unfortunately, it didn't work at all.The other party stalked as if eating a weight, and never backed down.

Because of this matter, the other party even delayed his own cultivation, and he is still swaying in the late stage of foundation establishment.Even, the owner of Kamikaze Island once personally visited the door, telling her not to confuse her only son anymore.

The owner of Kamikaze Island, Cheng Songting, has a staid personality, and he has a big prejudice against Miaoyinmen. He thinks it is an obscene sect that entertains people with sex, and even Wang Ying, who is the owner of the sect, is not worthy of his son.

In short, stay away from Cheng Yang in the future, if you continue to pester him, don't blame him for being rude.

That time Wang Ying was pissed off.What does it mean for her to confuse the other party?It's clear that your son didn't live up to expectations and insisted on pestering him, so what does it have to do with me?
It's a pity that Miaoyinmen has a bad reputation, and this kind of thing can't be explained at all.

What's more, as the head of the sect, she also needs to be concerned about the safety of the sect, and she is unwilling to turn against Kamikaze Island easily, so in the end she can only compromise and swallow her anger.

Helplessly, Cheng Yang never gave up, whenever he had a chance he would come up with all kinds of excuses to pester him, it was really annoying.
