Chapter 614: The Living Stone
Following Qin Guan's footsteps, Yu Li's heart thumped, and she couldn't help but wonder, should I take my hand back?
If you don’t pull it back, will Qin Guan feel that I’m not reserved?
If you take it back, will Qin Guan misunderstand me and dislike him?
Just as Yu Li was thinking about it, the two had already arrived at the lantern festival, which was crowded with people. Countless smart lanterns were hung on the corridor by the lake, some were made by government, some were made by merchants, and some were made by private ones. There were strips of colorful silk hanging on it, and there were also characters on the colorful silk.
"Husband, what is this?" Yu Li asked curiously.
"Guess riddles."
"Guess riddles? Guess how to guess."
"There are rewards, or prizes, or this lamp belongs to you. Some businesses will reward some products from their own shops, which can be regarded as advertising in disguise." Qin Guan said.
Qin Guan pointed at the lantern that could not be seen at a glance and said boldly to Yu Li, "Who do you like, Yu Li, will win it back for you."
"Can you win if you like it?" Yu Li asked, looking at Qin Guan with a confident look on his face.
"Let's try it." Qin Guan smiled relaxedly.
The two of them were not in a hurry, and they looked at each lamp, palace lantern, gauze lantern, flower basket lantern, dragon and phoenix lantern, corner lantern, tree lantern, and fireworks lantern, were so beautiful.
The two of them held hands and looked slowly. Yu Li's face was blushing and a smile, and the light shone on Yu Li's face. Qin Guan felt that she was really beautiful tonight.
Suddenly, a cry came from the front.
The two of them looked in the voice and saw a girl of seven or eight years old crying, while a woman next to her was coaxing the child.
"Niu Niu, we can't guess the riddle, so don't want it? I'll take you to the lake to turn on the lights later." The woman said.
"But Niu Niu likes that lantern very much, and Dad must also like it. He will take it back and hang it at home at night. Dad will feel very comfortable reading." The girl was still crying.
The woman continued to coax the girl gently. When Yu Li saw this scene, she felt her heart and suddenly thought of her mother, Mrs. Su Yao, and her expression was a little dazed.
"What's wrong, Yu Li."
Qin Guan's voice sounded in his ears, Yu Li woke up in shock and smiled, "Husband, can you help that little girl?"
Qin watched and nodded.
The two of them came to the woman and the little girl. Yu Li squatted down and looked at the girl and said, "Don't cry, which lamp do you want to win you back."
Seeing Yu Li like a fairy in the painting talking to her, the woman and the girl were stunned. The girl still had tears on her face and pointed to the largest palace lantern on it and said, "I want that one."
Qin Guan looked and said, "Wait, I'll go and take a look." As he said, he strode to the lampkeeper, pointed to the largest lamp on it and said, "Can you ask for that lamp if you guess the riddle?"
The lamp manager smiled and said, "Of course, you can give it to my husband as long as you guess it. However, this is the new question that everyone has asked for the best riddles in our store. Many people like this lamp, but no one guessed it all night."
When he came to the lamp, Qin Guan looked at the cloth strips on it, which read a poem.
The horse soldiers are brave and heroic,
The general waved the battle flag in the middle.
All artillery strategies were used up,
Why did you lose this game?
After Qin watched it, he thought for a moment and had an answer in his mind. Yu Li followed behind him, and after reading the puzzle, he couldn't understand the meaning and asked, "Husband, you guessed it."
“There has been a result.”
"So fast, what does this mean?" Yu Li asked curiously.
"It seems that the person who comes up with this question is a guy who likes to play chess. You can't play chess, and it's reasonable to not understand the meaning. You see, in this poem, there are all handsome men and soldiers, horses and cannons, but he lacks a car. He owes a car, so the answer to this riddle should be soft." Qin Guan said.
After hearing this, Yu Li thought it made sense, so she turned to look at the Guandeng Man and asked, "Is it a soft word?"
The lampkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this young man guessed it right." As he said that, he took out the rod and picked the lamp down and sent it to Qin Guan. Qin Guan took the lamp and thanked him, then handed it to Yu Li. Yu Li took the lamp and came to the little girl, "I'm giving this to you."
The little girl was surprised, "Thank you sister, and thank you big brother."
The woman thanked her repeatedly, held the little girl's hand, and left happily with a lantern. When the girl's figure disappeared, Yu Li said, "When I have been to Mingzhufang City, we will go to the Mo family to see Xiyan."
"Yes." Qin Guan naturally agreed.
The two of them came to the lake. At this time, many people had gathered by the lake. People were putting lotus lanterns by the lake, especially young men and women.
Qin Guan bought two lamps, one in his hand, Yu Li made a wish silently and put the lamp into the lake. Qin Guan asked her: "What wish did you make?"
Yu Li suddenly felt ashamed, "I won't tell you."
Qin Guan laughed.
That night, the two of them played very late, and Yu Li felt that they had never been so relaxed.
On a mountain outside Yuyao City, Yu Li sat sideways on the top of a big tree like a canopy, while Qin Guan next to him was lying invisibly, looking at the bright moon in the sky with his hands on his pillow. Yu Li suddenly said, "What do you think of this immortal cultivation?"
Qin Guan thought for a while and said, "Traveling in the North Sea and Cangwu in the evening, eating in the morning dew and eating in the morning clouds. When you are free, you will see the waves and clouds. The spring and autumn of the ages are like a dream! People in the world say that immortality is good, but they don't know that if it is miserable, even if it is immortal, what's the use? If it is smooth, it will be enough for one day and one night..."
When he said the last sentence, Qin Guan turned to look at Yu Li, and Yu Li's heartbeat was faster when Qin Guan watched.
Yu Li said, "I have read Taoist classics. The classics say that the highest state of cultivation is to forget emotions and forget nature."
"Forget things can nourish the mind, forget emotions can nourish the nature, forget the environment can nourish the spirit, forget colors can nourish the essence, forget desires can nourish the body, forget the body can nourish the qi, forget self can nourish the emptiness, forget the world can nourish the Tao, is it wrong in the Taoist classics?"
Qin Guan shook his head: "I have always felt that cultivating immortals without desires and desires, forgetting emotions and nature is completely inferior! There is no confidant, no relatives and friends, and even the joys, sorrows and joys of normal people. What else can I do except for my whole cultivation?"
"We learn supernatural powers and magics just to protect our immortality, and immortality is not the ultimate goal. Our goal is to have a longer life to think, experience, enjoy, and pursue beautiful things, rather than becoming a living stone."
Yu Li suddenly felt that maybe Qin Guan was right.
The moonlight is like water,
The two sat quietly waiting for dawn.
I took a peek at Qin Guan next to me, it was actually not bad.
The moon rabbit sinks westward, the golden crow rises, and a new day comes, and the two set off again for Mingzhufang City.
