When the last ray of winter sun sank like broken gold into the endless Dragonspine Mountains, Ancient Dragon Village, a deserted village that had been shrouded in purple mist for thousands of years, it finally ushered in the most lively New Year's Eve every year. The usually silent and almost oppressive valley was now filled with red lanterns and the smoke of firecrackers, and the originally desolate air had a refreshing sweet fragrance.
The New Year of the Douluo Continent is held on January 1st every year. This is also the only holiday shared by the three major forces of the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall in this continent. New Year's Eve also means the last night of the end of the year. The day when the two Douluo years alternate is also a day for people to reunite with their families. Even Soul Master who wanders far away will rush back to reunite with their families, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.
In the early morning, before the first vigorous rooster crows, Lao Gu's courtyard is already busy.
"Old man, hold on to the ladder more firmly! Oops, the left side is too high, go a little further to the right! Are your eyes blurred by tobacco leaves?" Lin Ping, wearing a bright red apron embroidered with rich peonies, stood in the center of the yard and gave instructions.
Gu Hai stepped on the wooden ladder that creaked due to age, and was clumsily pasting couplets on the door beam. His rough hands were covered with thick calluses, and he was carefully holding the thin red paper, for fear that the brute force would tear the celebration into pieces.
The couplet was written with Star Luo City's top-notch cinnabar ink. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with a faint hint of a dragon's roar. It was exactly what Gu Tian wrote with his own hands last night - the first couplet: The dragon flourishes for thousands of years; the second couplet: Phoenix dances in China's spring for all generations. Horizontal comment: Yongzhen updates.
"Dad, Na'er, come and help you, just take a rest."
Na'er ran over cheerfully, and gently held up the void with his small white hands. The long couplet, which was still slipping in Gu Hai's hand, seemed to be held by a pair of gentle invisible hands, and it clicked accurately to the center of the door frame without even a trace of wrinkles or distortion.
"Hey, this space Soul Skill is used to post Spring Festival couplets. It's the first of its kind in mainland China. It's amazing!" Gu Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Na'er's cute and cute appearance. He felt so beautiful that it was sweeter than drinking honey.
At this time, the Gu family courtyard had already changed its appearance under the care of the daughters.
Gu Yue is controlling the gentle wind element, sweeping away the last traces of snow and years of dust in the yard. Wherever the wind passes, even the weeds in the cracks in the ground are accurately removed. Xiao Wu is pulling Zhu Zhuqing, and is lying on the window of the wing, busy putting up window grilles. Zhu Zhuqing is used to holding daggers tightly on weekdays, and his murderous hands are holding delicate scissors now, which seems a bit cramped and clumsy. However, under the guidance of Xiao Wu's chirping, talking and gestures, a lifelike "Spring Picture" soon appeared on the paper. Although the lines are slightly cold, it has a bit of tenacity.
What made Lin Ping feel the most pressure was the two people who helped in the small kitchen room.
"Dean Gu Yuena, Director Bi Ji, just let me, the mother, do these rough and dirty work. How can I trouble you two great Buddhas..." Lin Ping looked at Gu Yuena, who was rolling up his sleeves to prepare noodles, and Bi Ji, who was carefully choosing vegetables. His voice was trembling slightly, for fear that the two college leaders would tear down the kitchen if they were not satisfied.
Today Gu Yuena specially changed out of the cold Bingbing silver dragon armor and put on the dark red silk palace dress that Gu Tian bought with a lot of money from Star Luo City. The three thousand silver threads were only rolled up with a simple red silk, which lacked the usual divinity of gazing at the world, but added a bit of shyness and pyrotechnics of a new wife.
"It's okay, after entering this door, we are a family. In the college, I am the dean, but at home, I am just your daughter-in-law... ahem, your student." Gu Yuena's cold and pretty face flashed an extremely She was rarely shy, but the movements of her hands were surprisingly capable. Her divine hands that could control the elements shuttled through the pile of flour and quickly kneaded out an extremely round dough. She even used the weak water element to ensure the absolute strength of the dough.
Bi Ji sat gently on the pony beside her, relying on the life energy that occasionally overflowed from her body. Those ordinary cabbages and radishes that were originally grown in the village instantly became crystal clear after being touched by her. Ying, exuding a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, and even the fiber in the vegetable leaves has been reshaped by vitality and becomes extremely crisp. "As the director of the medical office, I attach great importance to conditioning. This year's New Year's Eve dinner is guaranteed to make you and your elders ten years younger and live longer."
Gu Tian was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, looking at this warm scene like a picture scroll, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
Inside Sea of Consciousness, Chiyan was waving her fiery red dress dissatisfied and muttering loudly, "Xiao Tian! Why can they go out to make dumplings and smell the fragrance, but I have to be here to watch you juniors acting? I don't accept it! I also want to go out and show off the red dress I just bought!"
"Sister Chiyan, don't worry, you are the most important person in our family during the night watch, and there are many opportunities for you to show your face." Gu Tian reassured with a smile.
When night fell completely, the entire Ancient Dragon Village fell into an unprecedented boil, and the sound of firecrackers one after another seemed to shatter the Purple Mist that had been suppressed all year round.
In the brand-new mahogany lobby of the Gu family, an extra-large round table is placed in the center. The table is full of delicacies and the aroma is overwhelming: braised century-old pork ribs, steamed emerald lake bottom whitebait, spicy meatball hot pot, and plates of white jade dumplings that symbolize reunion.
Gu Hai was sitting at the main seat, holding the old wine brought by Gu Tian in his hand. It was said that it was brewed with ten thousand year old spiritual fruits. The rich aroma of the wine made everyone in the room feel a little tipsy as soon as the bottle was opened. The old man's face was red, and the hand holding the wine was trembling slightly.
"Today... is the most honorable and honorable day for me, Gu Hai, in my life!" Gu Hai stood up with red eyes, looking at the circle of stunning beauties sitting around the table, her eyes moist, "Tian'er has really made a difference, and brought back so many good girls who know both cold and hot, and are as beautiful as fairies. This glass of wine, here's to... to our family's reunion!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and even Zhu Zhuqing, who had always been cold and taciturn, put down his guard and smiled slightly.
After three rounds of meals, Gu Tian took out a stack of thick red envelopes from his arms. Each red envelope was not only filled with Gold Soul Coin, but also deliberately injected with a trace of pure Dragon God essence, which can nourish the wearer's body all year round.
"This is the New Year's money that Dad asked me to give to you. I hope you will improve your cultivation in the new year, be safe every year, and stay with me forever."
"This is for mom and dad." Gu Tian handed over two specially made gold brocade bags, his expression became extremely solemn, "Inside are two elixirs refined by sister Bi Ji. After eating them, dad, your incomplete Martial Soul will be completely replenished. In the future, even if you are farming, you will be able to have endless Soul Power; Mom can also return to her youth, even twenty years younger. When the time comes, when I go to Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I will bring back more Immortal Herb that can extend life and give it to you and your two elders."
Lin Ping covered her mouth and looked at the fragrant elixir in the kit, and the tears of emotion could not stop sliding down her cheeks. Her biggest regret in her life was that she could not give Gu Tian a good background, but she did not expect that her son would give her the whole world.
Just as the whole family was immersed in warmth, Gu Tian suddenly stood up and waved to the void with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Since it's a New Year's Eve reunion, how can we miss Sister Chiyan and Sister Tide?"
Boom--!
Two astonishing divine lights, one red and one blue, burst into bloom in the main room, and the originally spacious room instantly became a little crowded.
The temperature suddenly rose, and Chiyan appeared out of thin air in that extremely hot red outfit. She couldn't even wait to say hello, so she picked up a big chicken leg on the table, took a bite without any image, and shouted with a mouth full of oil, "Ha! It suffocates me to death! This earthly condiment tastes really good! Xiao Tian, Happy New Year!"
Later, even the ancestor of Dragon God, Ao Linxi, who had been sleeping in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, appeared behind Gu Tian in the form of a holy translucent soul. Although she did not speak, her smiling nine-color eyes swept over everyone present, as if she was inspecting the warm country she had laid for the successors of Dragon God.
"Oh my god... these are your two... two teachers again, right?" Gu Hai almost spit out the wine he just drank. He felt that the beams of his house had never withstood the light of so many gods in his life, and I was afraid that this adobe house would become a miracle in the future.
Late at night, the zero o'clock bell seemed to be ringing in the dark.
Gu Tian brought the girls to the yard. He took a deep breath, and with the help of Ao Linxi, his eyes instantly turned into nine colors, and he pushed hard towards the sky with his right hand.
Boom--!
A stream of extremely pure nine-color Soul Power soared into the sky, directly penetrated the clouds, and exploded crazily above Ancient Dragon Village.
This is a giant firework composed of the essence of the nine elements, and it also symbolizes that Gu Tian will officially embark on a new journey in this continent from this moment on.
The fireworks lasted for a long time, and finally, under the shocked gaze of all the villagers, they gathered into four large nine-color characters that covered the sky and the sun:
[happy new year]
All the villagers in Ancient Dragon Village ran out of their homes. Some people knelt down excitedly on the snow to worship and pray, while others cheered loudly to the sky.
Under the bright firelight in the sky, Gu Tian was tightly surrounded by the girls. On the left were Na'er and Gu Yue, who were soft and dependent, and on the right was Zhu Zhuqing with cool eyes and clinging eyes., Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran, behind them are Gu Yuena, Bi Ji with mature smiles and Chiyan and Tide with out-of-character personalities.
"Brother Gu Tian, we want to be together all our lives, all our lives, and even the next life!" Na'er hugged his arm and made a wish loudly in the light of the sky.
"Yeah, together forever."
Gu Tian looked up at the endless starry sky and swore silently in his heart. Whether it was the calculation behind Tang San, the lofty gaze of the Divine Realm, or the heavy fate of the dragon clan, it no longer seemed so insurmountable in the face of the warmth of this moment.
This New Year is the end of an era, and it is also the great beginning of Dragon God civilization returning to its peak.
The glory belonging to Dragon God has just ignited the first flame of war in this purple mist that will never be extinguished and will illuminate the eternity.
