Indescribable cyberpunk

Dang~dang~dang~

The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell on the forehead of the Buddha on the top of the Brahma Mingwang Temple. The timers installed in the dozens of towers around him counted down to zero, and the copper bells rang at the first time.

The melodious and resonant bell ringing immediately spread throughout Rongxia City.

As the beginning and end of the Spring Festival parade, the outside of Brahmamyoji Temple was already filled with people and tourists who came to watch.

The entire square is now closed to outsiders. Everyone can only stand on both sides of the avenue outside the door and watch the vermilion gilded door that is not capped but nearly ten meters wide slowly open.

Dong~dong dong~dong dong dong.

There was only a crack in the door, and the sound of drums came from it.

"I'm coming!"

The man who had come to guard the good position since last night shouted loudly. The evil ghost mask on his face was covered with a layer of sunlight, which made him look much warmer.

"This means that if you hear the sound of drums before you see him, the thunder will shake the sky, and all evil spirits will retreat!"

Next to him was an old man from Rong Xiacheng who was wearing a dark long coat and a gray beard peeking out from under a dark red fierce mask.

His voice was filled with pride, and there was still a little bit of pride in it.

Of course, he has the right to be proud. Regardless of other things, when it comes to the Spring Festival in Rongxia City, there are really not many cities in the federation that can compare with it.

"Sir, do you have anything else to say about this parade? This is my first time here."

Thinking about the name Rong Xiacheng used to address the old man, he quickly changed his words. Seeing that the door had not yet been fully opened, and there was a clear ringtone, he felt that his mind, which had stayed up all night before, was completely awakened by these sounds.

"The muffled thunder shakes the sky, and the sound of the bells warns the world. What follows is a blessing, so listen well."

The old man didn't talk much and spoke very quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a new voice came from in front of him.

The drum sound that had slowed down suddenly accelerated suddenly, like a falling rain, with crisp ringtones interspersed in it, creating an inexplicable feeling of thunder and lightning.

No one needs to be reminded, it is already quiet outside Brahma Tianmingwang Temple.

People stood on tiptoes, staring at the vermilion door. They were looking forward to something, but most people didn't know what they were looking forward to.

They just see someone tiptoeing, and they also tiptoe.

They just see someone intoxicated and they become intoxicated themselves.

Zhiqua~

The door finally opens.

Whether it was the sound of bells or drums, they suddenly stopped at this moment, followed by a burst of loud children's sounds.

The tiger thrush cries sadly as before

Suddenly looking back at the remains of hundreds of flowers

It’s like the comfort has disappeared without a trace

Gods Gathering in the New World

Tiger and thrush crow at night

Flowers bloom and pray to God

Feeling empty and sad

The dream is gone

The prayer songs began to be sung, and "people" stepped out of the door.

He is about 3 feet tall, has a light green or orange face, wears a "treasure crown" on his head, and has fangs coming out of his mouth. He is dressed in red and green armor, with dark red ribbons hanging on both sides of his shoulders. His arms hang down to the thighs on both sides. A huge mechanical doll slowly walked out of the gate.

There is not just one, but there are many of them. They are several meters away with one step, their bodies are swaying from side to side, and their arms are also swaying.

The aura of showing off one's strength is displayed vividly.

"Young man, this is called a prince's patrol, to intimidate Xiaoxiao. Normally, these 'big shots' have to stay in the center of the team."

The old man wanted to remind him a few more words, but the man next to him could no longer hear anything.

All the tourists were so excited just to see these "adults" that they could only take photos secretly, but they didn't dare to take more photos. After all, this was the opening, and it was wrong to focus only on this.

They are staying here so they can see the Spring Festival celebrations in full for the first time.

Of course, those with such an impatience naturally also value comfort and leisure.

The entire parade will pass through all the main roads in Rongxia City. If you don't pursue the stunning bonus at the first sight, you can find a suitable place in the middle.

Zhu Jue is the latter.

Wu Tong woke him up early in the morning, and the group had a leisurely breakfast before heading to the attic corridor set up in the air.

It was different from the past. When I came here before, it was more lively and people came and went. However, this time when I came here, what Zhu Jue saw were rows of tables, chairs, fruits, and the shops on the back and those who had been here before. On this day, the ordinary houses I saw seemed to have turned into canteens or small teahouses.

A "fully automatic" detachable container can be made by using a few benches and a square wooden frame divided into squares at the door. There are fruits and snacks on it, as well as a few pots of boiling hot water and unknown items. How long has the tea been stored?

There are several tables and chairs placed on the edge of the corridor. They have nothing but the simplest bamboo chairs. However, these things take up the best viewing position. People say this is The empty space at their door is reserved for guests. If you want to sit, you can pay first.

"How much? 100 per person, plus melons, fruits and tea? A pack of melon seeds costs 30. Auntie, are you not being ordinary citizens today, but becoming bandits?"

The group chose a location with a wider view. Li Qinglian was responsible for buying some food. When asked about the price, she was shocked. She looked at the prices of the items that were exactly the same as the ones she bought in the convenience store in the central area of ​​Yecheng. More than ten times!

"There's nothing I can do about it. Everyone sells like this. If I'm cheap, others will say I'm not gregarious. It's not like you have no money, little girl. It only costs a few dozen yuan. The celebration will start soon. , it would be a pity if you miss it for this little money.”

The gray-haired old man had a sharp tongue and was slowly cracking melon seeds in his hand.

The meaning in his eyes is very clear, if you don’t want it at this price, someone else will.

In fact, the entire corridor has been filled with people.

After all, those who can come to watch the Rongxia City Spring Festival Ceremony on a working day, buy air tickets and stay in hotels, have spent thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. For them, it is really only a few hundred or two hundred.

Li Qinglian was angry and couldn't argue with the old man who looked like he was old. Looking back, Wu Tong and Olivia had already sat down at that position. The former was tapping Erlang's leg and waving to her, asking her to buy more quickly. As some things passed by, the latter stared blankly at the street outside, as if looking at the signs on the street.

As for the other one who is the most "fashionable", he insists on taking the wind chime to buy some egg waffles nearby. He also said that he wants to buy all the flavors and bring back some sour plum juice. When they find a good place, they don't know where to go. Where has it gone?

"When I cross an overpass in broad daylight, I just want to look back~"

Crossing a small arch bridge, there was a group of naughty children wearing masks and pretending to scare people in the shadows. Zhu Jue, who was wearing a mask, raised his hands above his head and rushed forward. The group of children dispersed again.

Making him laugh and hum a song as he walked forward.

"During the day, there is heavy traffic, but now there are stone bricks underfoot."

Avoiding a mechanical trolley with four "legs", I grabbed a handful of fried lentils from the top and threw down a large banknote without asking for change. The middle-aged man pushing the trolley behind me bowed and thanked him.

"I walked through the archway alone, with the wind chimes in my arms to keep me company~"

He twisted his waist and walked through a blue-gray stone archway with the name Shiyue Street written on it. He bent his knees slightly and kicked off Feng Chime's two short legs. He jumped into his arms and started eating lentils too. Unfortunately, there was a gap between his teeth. It wasn't dense enough. The lentils rolled back and forth in his mouth twice before being spit out. Zhu Jue had no choice but to go back and get a few more oranges.

"It's fun to hide in this place, and those who come here will not come if they are not good~"

After walking for a while, I just found a stall selling egg waffles. I turned around and saw a man wearing a saffron robe with many decorations on his body. He wore a diamond-shaped bamboo hat on his head, with a spiral painting hanging on the front. The textured cloth strips made it difficult to see the face covered behind.

"Ask God for divination, and the iron mouth will cut you straight."

Looking at the small flag he was holding in his hand, the egg waffles here were being made. The man seemed to have noticed Zhu Jue looking at him, turned around, paused for a while and leaned over again.

"Fortune telling? No money required."

This fortune teller's voice is very gentle and mellow, making people feel good as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Hey, can you help me figure out my future?"

Idle and idle, I threw the lentils in my mouth and asked with interest.

"Well, I see that your hall is darkened, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future."

The fortune teller counted with his fingers, shook his head, and then said.

"I'm wearing a mask, how do you know that my hall is dark? You have to follow the basic laws to deceive people, right?"

"After divination, once the eyes of heaven are opened, what does it have to do with me whether you wear a mask or not?"

This person actually came back to his senses.

"What kind of disaster?"

"Evil demons from outside the territory, ghosts from heaven come to the world."

What he said was smooth.

"Then how should I avoid it?"

Zhu Jue squinted his eyes. He had heard the name Tiangui mentioned by the female robot in the illusion. It seemed to be another name for Bayaki. He suppressed his smile and continued to ask.

I wanted to see what he would say.

"Let me figure it out. You won't avoid it."

He pinched his fingers again, and it looked like he was pretending, but his voice was still steady and his answer was correct.

"Haha, that's interesting. Where does this extraterritorial evil you talk about come from?"

Dang~

Zhu Jue was about to continue asking when there was a noise from the egg waffle stall next to him. He turned around subconsciously and found that a plastic can containing cream had been tipped over on the stall, with a lot of cream inside flowing out.

I glanced at it a few times with some pity, then looked back, and there was no fortune teller anywhere.

"strangeness."

After forgetting about everything but not finding it, Zhu Jue didn't think much and continued waiting for his things. After a few minutes, he returned with a bag of egg waffles.

"Am I just pretending to be cool~ or do they have their own hidden agenda~"

Eating egg waffles and singing songs all the way.

Crossing the arch bridge again, when I reached the last step, I suddenly turned back. The little girl in a floral skirt behind me was startled.

"Your grandpa, I'm coming out of the mountain~"

He turned around, said something aloud, and then strode forward.

"Hey, he is so handsome, but it's a pity that he is a fool."

Originally, I thought he was handsome, so I bought those egg waffles that tripled in price before I followed him, but now it seems that this guy may not be good either.

The girl is also very sad
