Chapter 779: Storms gather
This was the first time Chen Ling saw a lion dance in person.
The exquisite red and gold headgear swayed gently in the wind, and the extremely realistic hair raised waves. A lion body like a cloak jumped flexibly above the train, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
The figure jumped from the sidewalk to the towering street lamp, and then lightly landed on the front of the train that was whizzing past, then drew a long arc and flew steadily to the top of the traffic light...
It sat in the air like a lion, shook its head, and its pair of pupils full of rings blinked flexibly twice, then it did a backflip and jumped to the other side of the street, and kicked twice like a creeper, leaping in the air!
The vivid lion dance flew past the window, and in an instant, the lion's eyes looked at Chen Ling who was sitting by the window...
Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
The lion dance flashed by, followed by a burst of cheers and applause.
"Amazing! What kind of performance is this?"
"I don't know... I've never seen it before. Is that lion real?"
"Of course it's a human. I just saw him put on clothes and a hood on the street. Look, there's a sign over there and an empty bowl."
"What does it say... [Life is not easy, lions perform for money, crowdfunding lunch, helping dreams]..."
"Don't mention it, those two moves were really amazing, I'll give him some..."
"Count me in, I just have some change."
"..."
While waiting for the traffic lights, the pedestrians on the street seemed to be in a good mood when they saw such a wonderful performance. The scattered copper coins were thrown into the empty bowl and soon piled up.
The lion dance jumped down from the roof and landed next to the handwritten wooden sign and iron bowl.
He took off his hood, revealing a smiling young face, clasped his hands together, and kept thanking the passers-by who gave him tips. Seeing his handsome appearance, several girls passing by couldn't help but add a few more copper coins.
"It's actually lion dance." Chen Ling was thoughtful.
"Lion dance? What is lion dance?" Spade 9 seemed to be attracted by the performance just now. After hearing Chen Ling's words, he asked in confusion.
"Lion dance is lion dance... Haven't you seen it before?"
"No, I haven't even heard of it."
Chen Ling realized that after the catastrophe, many things were buried in the ruins of the war... In fact, there were very few people who had seen lion dance before the catastrophe, and even fewer people who still insisted on lion dance. In the three hundred years since the catastrophe, many spiritual treasures that once existed have disappeared.
It is indeed very rare and very lucky to be able to see lion dance in this era.
The light turned green, and pedestrians walked forward. The young man held the lion dance headgear, picked up all the copper coins he earned with his other hand, counted them carefully, and muttered to himself:
"After deducting the registration fee, there are still sixteen copper coins left... enough for lunch."
He first raised his head and looked in the direction of the high-end restaurant where Chen Ling was, and saw the gorgeously decorated store sign. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly... Then he walked into the bun shop behind him silently.
"Boss, how much are the buns?"
"Vegetable ones are one yuan each, and meat ones are two yuan each."
"I want eight meat ones!"
"How many???" The boss suspected that he had heard wrong.
"Eight!"
The boss glanced at him with a strange expression, "Can you finish it by yourself?"
Sun Bumian smiled, but did not answer. He just moved a small stool and sat down on the side of the road, stroking the lion dance headgear beside him, while his stomach was rumbling...
Just then, he seemed to notice something and suddenly turned his head to look at the other side of the road.
At the end of the road, a dark cloud was slowly drifting towards here. It was a group of mysterious figures wearing black robes, with silver clouds embroidered on the cuffs and hems, and wide hoods covering their faces...
They were tall and short, the tallest was about two or three stories tall, the shortest was about only up to the knees of normal people, and some even walked stiffly and strangely, like zombies crawling out of the ground. The moment this group of people appeared, the temperature of the entire street seemed to drop rapidly.
The moment they appeared, the pedestrians who were originally walking on the street were stunned. Perhaps affected by their sense of oppression, the pedestrians unconsciously avoided to the sides.
Whoosh——
A breeze blew across the street, lifting a corner of the hood of one of the men in black.
The woman closest to him saw the scene under the hood, screamed in fear, sat on the ground, and retreated madly!
Seeing this, the thin man in black immediately lowered his head, covered the hood again with his hands, and walked forward quickly.
"This is..." Chen Ling frowned more and more when he saw the group of people coming from a distance.
Spade 9 was also very surprised when he saw this, "Why did the people from Xuanyu Realm come here..."
"What?"
"The secret sect of Xuanyu Realm, these people are all Ou Shen Dao... You can understand them as Fu Sheng Hui of Hongchen Realm, or law enforcement officers of Aurora Realm."
"The managers of Xuanyu Realm? If they don't guard Xuanyu Realm, what are they doing in Tianshu?"
"I don't know." Spade 9 rubbed his chin with one hand, "However, these people are generally not of high rank and not very old... It seems that the five major realms are going to take other actions."
As the two were talking, the traffic lights flashed and changed, and the group of people in black stopped at the intersection.
"Although the Tianshu Realm has convenient transportation and prosperous streets, the food doesn't seem to be very good." A man in black turned his head and said, "Young Sect Master, I see a Comet Restaurant in front, it looks pretty good... How about we go there to eat?"
A dark shadow in the middle of the crowd was silent for a moment, then glanced at Sun Bumian who was madly stuffing buns into his mouth on the side of the road.
The moment he felt the other person's gaze, Sun Bumian, who was stuffing buns, was stunned, silently bit off half of the bun, and chewed it slowly, seeming a little embarrassed.
"That person eats so deliciously... I want to eat buns too." The young sect master said sullenly.
"... Young Sect Master, before we left, the Sect Master specifically told you to take more nutrition when you are out, otherwise, what if you can't beat the leaders of other Shinto paths? This time, the Sect Master has high hopes for you..."
"But..."
"Young Sect Master, let's go to the Comet Hotel. I think there are king crabs there."
"Okay then..."
With a sigh from the Young Sect Master, everyone walked towards the Comet Hotel opposite after the green light.
Sun Bumian, who was on the side of the road, swallowed the remaining buns in one bite, slightly lowered the small round sunglasses on his nose, stared at the group of departing figures with his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Xuanyu Realm, I Shinto..."
