Following Qin Guan's footsteps, Yu Li's heart was beating fast and she couldn't help but think about whether I should withdraw my hand.

If I don’t pull back, will Qin Guan think I’m not reserved?

If I withdraw it, will Qin Guan misunderstand that I dislike him?

Just when Yu Li was thinking wildly, the two of them had already arrived at the lantern festival, which was crowded with people. There were countless smart lanterns hung on the promenade by the lake, some made by the government, some made by merchants, and some made by private individuals, with strips of colorful silk hanging on them.

, there are words on the colorful silk.

"Husband, what is this?" Yu Li asked curiously.

"Guess lantern riddles."

"Guess the lantern riddles? How about guessing correctly?"

"There are rewards, or prizes, or this lamp belongs to you. Some merchants will reward some of their own store products, which can be regarded as advertising in disguise." Qin Guandao.

Qin Guan pointed at the endless lanterns and said proudly to Yu Li, "Yu Li, which one do you like? I will win it back for you."

"Can you win what you like?" Yu Li asked, looking at Qin Guan who looked confident.

"Let's give it a try." Qin Guan said with a relaxed smile.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and looked at the palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, flower basket lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, angular lanterns, tree and floor lanterns, and fireworks lanterns one by one. They were so beautiful.

The two held hands and looked slowly. Yu Li's face was flushed and smiling. The light shone on Yu Li's face. Qin Guan felt that she was really beautiful tonight.

Suddenly, there was crying from ahead.

The two followed the sound and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl crying, and a woman next to her was coaxing her child.

"Niuniu, if we can't guess the lantern riddle, why don't we give it up? Mommy will take you to the lake to put out lanterns later," the woman said.

"But Niuniu likes that lantern so much, and dad must also like it. Take it back and hang it at home at night. Daddy will be very comfortable reading." The girl was still crying.

The woman continued to coax the girl gently. When Yu Li saw this scene, she felt deeply in her heart. Suddenly she thought of her mother, Mrs. Suyao, and she looked a little dazed.

"What's wrong, Yu Li."

Qin Guan's voice sounded in her ears. Yu Li woke up with a start and smiled, "Husband, can you help that little girl?"

Qin looked at it and nodded.

The two came to the woman and the little girl. Yu Li knelt down, looked at the girl and said, "Stop crying. Which lamp do you want? Let your big brother win it back for you."

Seeing Yu Li, who looked like a fairy in the painting, talking to her, both the woman and the girl were stunned. The girl, with tears still hanging on her face, pointed to the largest palace lantern and said, "I want that one."

Qin looked at it and said, "You wait, I'll go take a look." He strode to the lampman, pointed to the largest lamp and said, "You guessed the lantern riddle, can I have that lamp?"

The lamp keeper smiled: "Of course, if you guess correctly, I will give it to my husband, but this is a new question created by the best crossword puzzlers in our store. Many people fell in love with this lamp, but there was no one there all night.

Guess it."

When he came to the lamp, Qin looked at the cloth strip decorated with a poem written on it,

Horses, soldiers, and warriors are heroic and heroic,

The commander-in-chief was in the center waving the battle flag.

All artillery and tactics have been exhausted,

Why did you lose this game of chess?

After Qin watched it, he thought about it for a while and figured out the answer in his mind. Yu Li followed behind, and after seeing the puzzle, he was confused and asked: "Husband, can you guess it?"

"There are already results."

"So fast, what does that mean?" Yu Li asked curiously.

"It seems that the person who asked this question is a guy who likes to play chess. If you don't know how to play chess, it makes sense that you don't know the meaning. Look at this poem, there are handsome men, soldiers, horses and artillery, but the only thing missing is the rook.

, he owes a car, so the answer to this lantern riddle should be soft." Qin Guandao.

After hearing this, Yu Li thought it made sense. She turned to look at the lamp keeper and asked, "Is that the word soft?"

The lamp keeper nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the young master guessed it right." He took out the pole and picked up the lamp and brought it to Qin Guan. Qin Guan took the lamp and thanked him, then handed it to Yu Li.

Yu Li came to the little girl with a lamp and said, "This is for you."

The little girl was surprised, "Thank you sister, and thank you big brother."

The woman thanked her repeatedly, took the little girl's hand, and left happily with a lantern. When the girl disappeared, Yu Li said, "When we go to Mingzhufang City, let's go to Mo's house to see Xi Yan.

"

"Okay." Qin Guan naturally agreed.

The two came to the lake. At this time, many people had gathered by the lake. People were setting lotus lanterns by the lake, especially young men and women.

Qin Guan bought two lanterns, each holding one in his hand. Yu Li silently made a wish and put the lanterns in the lake. Qin Guan asked her: "What wish did you make?"

Yu Li's face suddenly showed embarrassment, "I won't tell you."

Qin Guan laughed.

That night, the two of them played very late, and Yu Li had never felt so relaxed.

On a mountain outside Yuyao City, at the top of a big tree like a canopy, Yu Li was sitting sideways, while Qin Guan was lying facelessly on the side, resting his hands on his head and looking at the bright moon in the sky. Yu Li suddenly said:

"What do you think of this cultivating immortality?"

Qin Guan thought for a while and said: "I traveled to the North Sea in the morning and the sky was green at dusk, I ate in the morning and ate in the morning with the clouds floating in the sky, and in my free time I watched the waves rise and fall, and the spring and autumn were just like a dream! Everyone in the world knows that eternal life is good, but how do you know that if it is miserable,

Even if it is immortality, it is of no use. If it goes well with one's heart, one day and one night will be enough..."

When Qin Guan said the last sentence, he turned to look at Yu Li. Yu Li's heartbeat quickened as Qin watched him.

Yu Li said, "I once read a Taoist classic. The classic says that the highest state of cultivating immortality is to forget one's emotions and one's nature."

"Forgetting things can nourish the heart, forgetting emotions can nourish the nature, forgetting the environment can nourish the spirit, forgetting the form can nourish the essence, forgetting the desire can nourish the body, forgetting the form can nourish the Qi, forgetting the self can nourish the weak, forgetting the world can nourish the Tao, isn't it right in Taoist classics?

?"

Qin Guan shook his head: "I have always felt that cultivating immortals without desires or pursuits, and forgetting one's emotions and one's nature is completely inferior! There are no confidants, no relatives and friends, and not even the normal feelings of joy and sorrow. Apart from one's cultivation, what else is there?

.”

"We learn supernatural powers and spells only as a means 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 of them sat quietly and waited for dawn.

Taking a peek at Qin Guan next to him, he saw that this was actually not bad.

The moon rabbit sets in the west, the golden crow rises, and a new day arrives. The two set off to Mingzhufang City again.
