Without a doubt, the lotus cores in the three jade boxes given by Zhongyuan were highly sought after by his family during dinner. Not to mention the spiritual energy carried in the lotus cores, the warm and comfortable feeling after drinking the tea made Zhongyuan's family unable to resist. After all, Zhongyuan's family did not have the ability to withstand the cold and heat of Zhongyuan.
The next day, it was already the 27th year of the Chinese New Year. Zhong Yuan's family got up early to prepare New Year's goods. Although Huang Ye and others had already sent over a lot, Zhong Yuan's mother still planned to buy some more, saying that she wouldn't feel the atmosphere of the New Year if she didn't buy them herself!
Zhongyuan had no plans to go out. During this period, various activities were held in the spiritual realm, and those who spent their days practicing in the small wooden house also ran out. The spiritual realm is now very lively, and the places where martial arts performances are held are even more lively. It's not an exaggeration to say that people are crowded!
Because fireworks are not allowed, the entire spiritual realm is now filled with colorful lights. At night, when it becomes the most beautiful in the spiritual realm, there is no darkness in the entire 10 kilometer radius. Zhong Yuan faintly heard from Cangying that when those colorful lights were transported, they were packed with several train skins and took a long time. With the voluntary help of many people in the spiritual realm, it was finally settled!
What really surprised Zhong most was that Huang Ye and his colleagues said that the number of people who had begun to fall back in the past few days of the Lunar New Year had exploded. Many people came from all over the world to celebrate the first New Year of the Holy World. Most of them were foreigners, and this was also because many people could not get in. Now there are still many people staying outside the Holy World. As for the purpose, it is no need to ask what the maze is!
A few days ago, Huang Ye and his team also discussed with Zhong Yuan whether they should prepare any celebrations for the New Year. Zhong Yuan didn't understand these things! I couldn't come up with any good ideas after scratching my head, so I just became a hands off shopkeeper! Let Huang Ye and the others handle it!
Huang Ye and the others have been busy these past few days. Zhong Yuan remembers that the 28th day of the lunar new year was the celebration day for Blood Knife, and in two days it would be the 30th day of the lunar new year. It has to be said that the breakthrough day for Blood Knife happened to coincide with this joyous occasion!
Zhongyuan is not really idle either. Although Zhongyuan seems to wander around all day and do nothing, he usually takes a lounge chair to lie down. However, in reality, Zhongyuan rarely has idle time. Even when he sleeps in bed, he only sleeps for two or three hours and then organizes and thinks about some things!
No matter what, Zhongyuan is the true master of the spiritual realm. Zhongyuan seems indifferent, but in fact, he is helpless. Zhongyuan is not good at these things and wants to point fingers at people. If he doesn't say anything, it will only add to the joke!
Huang Ye and the others have their own preparations, and Zhong Yuan naturally has his own preparations. Zhong Yuan didn't say anything about this, just waiting for the 30th day of the Lunar New Year to surprise everyone. If Zhong Yuan doesn't do it, he won't. Since he wants to do it, Zhong Yuan will make it impossible for anyone who celebrates the New Year in the spiritual world to look forward to it!
Zhongyuan went to the edge of the pond to take a look. The water in the pond was almost there, and it was only a few centimeters away from the outlet. There were fewer fish and shrimp in the clear and bottomless pond now!
After looking at the water lilies scattered around the pond, which were still lush green, Zhongyuan took out the remaining lotus seeds. Not only that, but Zhongyuan also took out some of the other three colors of lotus seeds, except for the white and green ones. They were too few, and being alone in the pond had no effect!
Zhongyuan didn't pay attention to the water lilies from yesterday. Instead, he first placed the lotus seeds on the flames in several stages, and then collected them when the spiritual energy was full. After all the lotus seeds absorbed enough spiritual energy, Zhongyuan directly released a large flame into the air, and then put the lotus seeds on top!
At this moment, there was enough water, and Zhong Yuan had no worries. He directly gave birth to flower buds for all the lotus flowers. Except for more than 10 of them that truly bloomed, the rest were still flower buds and took back the flames. Not only that, even those flower buds were of different sizes, and some even had no flower buds at all!
The one that bloomed was a white lotus, one was a green lotus, and there were three or two others, so that they wouldn't bloom and wither at the same time. This caused trouble for Zhongyuan. Among the five colored lotus flowers, except for the blue one, the other four were all water lilies. Moreover, the white lotus had hundreds of petals when it bloomed, and a flower the size of a basin floated in the pond, which was incredibly beautiful. Even before those lotus flowers bloomed, bursts of floral fragrance had already floated up, leaving Zhongyuan extremely satisfied!
Qinglian is the only lotus among the five types that is not a water lily. Unfortunately, without soil to fix its leaves, they are all supported on the water. The Qinglian stands tall on the surface of the water, making it a beautiful sight at first glance!
The other three types of lotus flowers are relatively normal, with sizes similar to ordinary lotus flowers. The red one is more common, while the yellow and purple ones are not very common in Zhongyuan. They float among the green leaves, giving people a beautiful feeling. Zhongyuan couldn't resist taking out a few cameras and avoiding the mermaid statue at the water inlet to take a few photos. Without decoration, the black mermaid statue really doesn't look very good!
Putting away the satisfied clapping of hands that resembled Zhong Yuan's, the next step is to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Blood Knife, as well as props for the New Year's Eve celebration!
The congratulatory gift of Blood Knife is simple, just a simple meaning is enough. Truly good things, like those magical tools in the Secret Treasure, not to mention Zhong Yuan's stinginess, Zhong Yuan really cannot bear to part with them. Even if he wants to give them away in the future, it is not something to consider now. Even before obtaining the secret treasure on his forehead, Zhong Yuan had already planned to give away something like a blood knife! Zhong Yuan likes to use a small knife to sharpen his nails when he has nothing to do with Blood Knife all day long, so when he wants to give gifts, he thinks of making a few flying knives. Not to mention, it's not comparable to the alloy flying knife in Blood Knife's hand!
The appearance of the blood knife was clearly observed by Zhong Yuan. The materials were all ready. Melt one piece and turn it into the appearance of nine flying knives. Each one was engraved with two runes. The handle of the flying knife was decorated with some jade liquid and those green mineral essence. Whether the blood knife was used as an ornament or a weapon, it was good!
It only took Zhong Yuan less than 10 minutes to make the entire nine flying knives. However, although the time was reduced, Zhong Yuan could guarantee the quality of these flying knives. Putting them outside would not allow anyone to break their head and get them!
Satisfied, Zhong Yuan spun nine flying knives around and tried them. He collected the flying knives into the Buddha beads and eagerly probed his psychic power into the secret treasure. Zhong Yuan, who was used to using Buddha beads, still liked to put things inside the beads when placing them!
Zhong Yuan, who was familiar with the weapons, opened the room where they were stored and shook them a few times on the shelf at the entrance. A conch shaped object and a finger like short flute were taken out by Zhong Yuan. When he saw these two things yesterday, Zhong Yuan planned to try them out to see if they could come in handy!
In Zhongyuan's opinion, the functions of these two things are not as powerful as the Soul Shooting Bell. The conch shaped thing is called the 'Beast Driving Snail', with a simple name and function of driving away wild beasts. The introduction on the jade tablet says that this snail can blow a sound that makes all beasts afraid, making them afraid to come close to the place where the snail sound is transmitted. This snail is born naturally, and not all kinds of snails have the function of driving away beasts. It usually depends on luck to get a snail shell with this special effect. This snail has always been regarded as a treasure by ordinary people in ancient times, and is believed to be bestowed by heaven. Therefore, there is also a name called 'Tianluo', which is a good thing for driving away wild beasts. Oh!
As for the short short flute, it's quite interesting to see the introduction on the jade piece. It's called 'Fengming Flute'. When playing the flute, applying real force to the flute can produce the sound of a phoenix's roar, attracting hundreds of birds to come to court. In the era of monks, it was usually used when searching for some special bird and spirit beasts. In Zhongyuan's opinion, calling it a flute is more like a long whistle, at least Zhongyuan didn't see any holes on that flute!
Everything was just Zhong Yuan's own understanding based on the meaning on those jade pieces. Zhong Yuan was not sure if their true function was as described on those jade pieces. So, while there was no one in the small valley at the moment, Zhong Yuan took out these two things. Apart from anything else, Zhong Yuan was also quite interested in what kind of phoenix sounds sounded like!
Zhongyuan did not blow the phoenix whistle first. Instead, he picked up the pure white, slightly curved conch, which was described as so powerful that it was naturally capable of blowing the sound of driving away wild beasts. Zhongyuan was also quite curious, and his psychic power dissipated in all directions, capturing the entire small valley in his psychic power. He looked out for the animals that were moving and picked up the conch to drive away the beasts!
Moo! "Zhong Yuan took a deep breath and blew at the beast snail. What made Zhong Yuan vomit blood was that he, who was born in the countryside, was so familiar with this sound that he couldn't be more familiar with it. It's almost no different from the old yellow ox in the countryside! That's all for now. The real reason why Zhongyuan vomited blood was that in Zhongyuan's eyes, the sound of snails, which was not much different from the barking of old oxen, actually came into play. Not to mention the rabbits that were scared and crawled into their holes, let alone the black bears that didn't hibernate in winter!
When Zhongyuan was about to blow the snail, that big guy was sunbathing at the connection between the small valley and the green corridor. It was probably left behind after walking with Miao Miao and the others. Miao Miao and the others usually dare not take that big guy out, and it can be a big trouble to go crazy when encountering strangers!
As soon as Zhongyuan's snail sound blew out, the black bear stretched out its limbs and involuntarily took a few steps forward. Then, it didn't care about anything and ran towards the edge of the valley without looking back. The black bear's home was built in that direction, which was also a small wooden house built by Hei Zai. After running into the small wooden house without stopping, the black bear crawled directly on the ground, with its buttocks facing outwards. Its two paws interestingly covered its ears, which was a unique move when being bullied by Miao Miao and her friends. However, at that time, the black bear was crawling on the ground to cover its eyes, but now it has changed to covering its ears!
Watching the reaction of the black bear and the wild rabbits that were so scared that they retreated into their holes to hide, Zhong Yuan slapped his head and was speechless
