Chapter 458 Nian Beast
The old man is a folklore, and it is not widely spread, especially in recent years. Parents' education to their children is no longer based on intimidation, and they no longer say "you are disobedient, the old man will come and carry you away and eat you." ” words.

But even so, the old man still exists, not to mention the legend of "Nian Beast", which is known to almost everyone in the whole country. This is a folk knowledge point that is popularized on TV every year during the Chinese New Year.

"Nian is actually a kind of ghost." The old Taoist made a final decision, "As long as people believe in it, it will exist."

"Well, even if it really exists, I haven't seen it anyway." Li Yi said with a smile.

"That's because someone set off firecrackers," the old Taoist continued, taking a sip, "Nian Beast is afraid of the sound of firecrackers, and the smell of gunpowder has the effect of warding off evil spirits. The most important thing is that people believe that Nian Beast will be scared away when firecrackers are set off, so from Basically, the birth of the Nian Beast has been eliminated. Sigh, it’s just that fireworks are prohibited in cities now, and when the Nian Beast comes out, it will be troublesome..."

Firecrackers are not allowed to be set off in cities these days, talking about polluting the illusion and creating smog.

But even if it is banned, it is still in the cities, suburbs, and rural areas. There are still firecrackers during the New Year. There is no sense of the New Year without the sound of firecrackers.

Li Yi also set off firecrackers. A big one was set off at the orphanage just now, but only a small firecracker was bought at the nursing home. After all, the old people are old and cannot bear too much noise.As for the old Taoists who were afraid of the sound of gunfire, Li Yi didn't care.

"Okay, the Nian Beast is really about to emerge, and it's our job." Li Yi raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast to eliminate demons."

"I said you didn't wink, boy? How can we toast with you if you don't pour us one?" the old man shouted.

Li Yi chuckled, hurriedly took a bottle of Moutai, ran to the edge of the flower pond outside the door and poured it out, the old Taoist came out and happily put it away, took it in and shared it with the shadow and the old man.

Li Yi had a drink with Song Yang and Yan Ming, and then played a game with a deck of poker and drank.

Before they knew it, it was past ten o'clock, and Fang Ting and the others came back. When they came in, they found that there was another Zhou Xiaoyan besides Fang Ting and Han Ying.

"Why are you here?" Yan Ming said.

"You want to take care of it?" Zhou Xiaoyan said something, and then moved to Li Yi's side.

But Fang Ting sat next to Li Yi first, and hugged Li Yi's arm generously.

Zhou Xiaoyan was stunned, but Song Yang and Yan Ming laughed maliciously.

Li Yi was also a little confused. Could it be that because of the Chinese New Year, even Fang Ting could let it go?
But no matter what, with the company of a beautiful woman, drinking wine is even more enjoyable. Without knowing it, they killed one and a half bottles of white wine and two bottles of red wine.

So Li Yi was already drunk, Yan Ming remained calm, but Song Yang was no longer able to do so, he had to lean on the wall to go to the bathroom.

"This product is not good, haha." Li Yi laughed.

"Brother, this is a lot of money..." Song Yang yelled without looking back, but he went straight to the gate.

"Where are you going? The toilet is over there!" Li Yi yelled.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to aim..." Song Yang yelled and opened the door.

"Stinky rascal, shameless!" Zhou Xiaoyan scolded.

"It's not good, come out, come out..." Song Yang shouted outside the door.

"Did you wet your shoes?" Li Yi yelled.

"There are monsters, hurry up!" Song Yang yelled.

Li Yi frowned and stood up from his voice, which didn't sound like a drunken maniac, but Zhou Xiaoyan ran the fastest - reporters like to watch the excitement.

"Li Yi, Li Yi, hurry up, there are really monsters... Pull up your pants!" Zhou Xiaoyan yelled.

Only then did everyone stop laughing, and hurried out one after another.

Li Yi jumped out of the door to take a look. Zhou Xiaoyan and Song Yang were all staring at the moon gate leading to the front yard. Li Yi looked over and saw two small lanterns.

The little orange lantern is about no bigger than a fist.

Suddenly, there was a cannon sound from the sky, and a firework exploded. Under the shining light, Li Yi finally saw clearly where the little lantern was, and it was clearly a beast!
That's right, it's just a beast, not a monster, because Li Yi recognizes this thing!
This guy's body is very strange, the front half of his body is tall and strong, accounting for almost two-thirds of his body, but his waist is very slender, his back goes straight down to his hind legs, he looks top-heavy.

The most special thing is the mouth. The mouth and the nose occupy almost half of the face. It is called a long face, which is not as exaggerated as the face of a horse.Coupled with the long fangs, it is really fierce.

That's right, it's just a wild boar!
But if it is a wild boar, it is a bit different. This guy's fur is not black, but bright red. The strangest thing is that there is a bright red horn growing on his forehead!

The legendary Nian beast has a big head and a small body. Could it be that the prototype is a wild boar?
Thinking about it, there is also this possibility. The Chinese New Year is always in winter, and food is scarce on the mountain. Don’t wild boars have to go down the mountain to look for food?Isn't the mountain village residents driving wild boars away by knocking pots on fire, driving them away with sound and fire?

It's just rumors that wild boars aren't scary enough, so they added another horn and red hair?
"Hehe, this is the Nian Beast." Li Yi smiled, reassuring everyone not to worry.

But the Nian Beast at the Moon Gate suddenly took two steps back, and then charged suddenly, knocking the iron fence of the Moon Gate flying!

Li Yi was taken aback immediately. You must know that the Moon Gate is quite strong. Even if you hit it with a car, the car probably broke down first, and the iron gate wouldn't fly out.

But that year, the beast looked calm, as if it had just smashed through a layer of paper windows, walked in through the moon gate, and it was lucky that the moon gate was nearly two meters high, otherwise it would have I'm afraid I won't be able to get into that huge pig's head!
"Damn, it's going to be terrible..." Li Yi changed his tune, "Old Daoist, how do you do this thing?"

"Are you stupid? Let go!" the old man yelled.

Li Yi slapped his forehead, the legends were all true, and of course the beast was most afraid of firecrackers back then!
But the problem is that Li Yi didn't set off firecrackers in the backyard when he unloaded the New Year's goods. Except for a few hangings in the front yard, they all took them to the orphanage-children like fireworks the most.

What should I do?You can't go to the orphanage to get it, can you?Even if I go, it’s too late, let’s not say that anyone who drives at this moment is drunk driving, even if I go back and forth, it will take less than half an hour. Who knows how many times I will die in such a long time?As for buying something nearby?It's past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, where are the shops open to sell guns?
