LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61: Moon Palace Appears
The symbolic significance of the moon reflected in the water is greater than its practical significance.
The soldiers in the camp would not be so naive as to think that by reflecting the moon in the water, they could bring down the Jade Rabbit Medicine and the Golden Toad Wealth.
The Jing'an School Lieutenant and the subordinate county warriors would not think that they would be lucky enough to reflect the secret realm of the Moon Palace and bring back some rare treasures from it.
But this is a festival of celebration where participation is important, and it is also a festival for the people to relax and reunite. Whether there is a reward is secondary, and the most important thing is to feel the joy of the festival.
Therefore, the Jing'an School Lieutenant not only invited his confidants in the camp and the subordinate county warriors to drink, but also brought his relatives from the city.
His concubine was not very adaptable to the atmosphere in the camp. Although she smiled and responded to the greetings of the generals from time to time, she did not take the initiative to speak.
On the contrary, the youngest daughter of the Jing'an School Lieutenant Jiang Ren was a lively and active child.
The child was less than five years old and should have come to the camp several times. Knowing that her father was the garrison here, she was not shy.
From time to time, he would ask for some wedding gifts from the officers he was familiar with, and he would also send a few crisp blessings, which made the officers in the camp happy.
Among them, Jiang Yong, who was in charge of the personal guards, and Cai Cheng, who was in charge of the black armor soldiers, were most familiar with the child and carefully prepared a lot of gifts.
"Here, take it. This is a gilded bronze sparrow. The daughter of the lieutenant is nicknamed Que'er, and she has no real name yet.
You give her a gilded bronze sparrow, which will definitely make her happy."
Cai Cheng was still very reliable. Even though Zhou Yuan was busy conquering the secret realm during this period, this brother did not forget to help him buy some festival gifts.
Otherwise, Zhou Yuan, who did not remember festivals, could only give some wedding money casually.
"Thank you, Brother Cai. I'll return your money later."
"Why are you talking about that? A gilded bronze sparrow is not worth much money. If you are interested, just treat me to a drink later.
This time, no one will say that you are haunted by evil spirits and are in conflict with Buddhist affairs. We can go home and have a good drink."
Cai Cheng still couldn't let go of the Painted Skin incident, so Zhou Yuan had to pat him on the shoulder and change the subject.
"That's a deal. When we enter the city again, we'll drink all night long."
As he was talking, a child named Que'er walked towards Zhou Yuan, with a pair of big eyes, not knowing what to call him.
"Dad, this general is so young. Should I call him brother or uncle?"
"Haha..., he is Dad's comrade-in-arms. We fought side by side a few days ago. Of course, he is your uncle."
The lively child called out "Uncle Yingwu" crisply and took the gilded bronze sparrow from Zhou Yuan.
This round of greetings was not for receiving gifts, but for the generals in the camp to meet the child and his wife, and to establish friendship and have more friendship in the future.
Therefore, after a round of greetings from the children, Lieutenant Jing'an took out gifts and distributed them to the generals, so that everyone could have a surplus during the festival without losing money.
After that, it was the Yingyue Banquet.
Everyone sat around the training ground, and on each table there were not only delicious food and wine, but also a Yingyue copper basin filled with clear water.
"Come on, everyone, it's a festival of water and moon, and the medicine and gold are all reflected in this cup. Let's drink together for health, longevity, happiness and wealth."
"Drink together, health, longevity, happiness and wealth."
While the generals were drinking, Lieutenant Jing'an's personal guards began to distribute festival gifts to the soldiers in the camp.
The things they gave out were quite practical. Regardless of the size of the military position, each person received a string of fifteen copper coins tied with a red rope and eight fist-sized jujube paste sweet cakes.
This action caused a cheer in the camp. The sound was accompanied by the bonfire in the training ground, the full moon in the sky, and a glass of fine wine, as if the whole world was celebrating.
"Haha..., refreshing, we haven't celebrated in the camp for a long time since the town became a county.
I didn't expect to have the honor to have fun with you today. Even if we get hurt in the attack on this secret realm, it's worth it."
The dinner of the Water Moon Festival was very strange. After drinking, everyone put their palms in the copper basin of Yingyue and soaked them, hoping to have the opportunity to touch the secret realm of the Moon Palace.
The daughter of Lieutenant Jing'an also wanted to do so, but in return she was reprimanded by her mother, saying that children who entered the Moon Palace would get lost and could not find the direction to return home.
In this joyful atmosphere, Zhou Yuan watched the full moon reflected in several copper basins turn into a constantly rotating copy portal.
But the portal was not fixed, as if it was fleeting like a dream bubble.
The magical thing is that as long as there are ripples in the basin or external objects interfere with the water of Yingyue, the portal will not appear.
It is in line with the words recorded in the Wei Shu Tiandi Mi Lu, its location is uncertain, its time is unknown, and one can enter it with a strong destiny.
Zhou Yuan observed carefully and saw the basic information of the Moon Palace Secret Realm.
[Dungeon: Moon Palace]
[Recommended challenge level 5~99, recommended challenge number 1~1000]
The Moon Palace Dungeon is indeed a festival activity. This is the first time Zhou Yuan has seen a dungeon with such a wide range.
However, the dungeon still has a small number of people. Only a thousand people are a drop in the bucket in Wei, not to mention other countries.
No wonder the Water Moon Festival focuses on participation. With this number limit and the randomly appearing portal, it is estimated that the number of people will be full in a short time.
There is no possibility of multiple attempts, so it becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When Zhou Yuan was analyzing the situation of the Moon Palace Dungeon, the dungeon portal quietly emerged in the Moon-Reflecting Water Basin in front of him.
How could he miss such an opportunity? He immediately reached out to the full moon reflected in the basin.
The next moment, he suddenly disappeared, and the soldiers celebrating around him didn't even notice anything unusual.
Only Xiao Que, the daughter of Lieutenant Jing'an, stared at the officers present and counted them out of boredom, and saw Zhou Yuan disappear in an instant.
"Father, that young uncle is gone. Que'er saw him reaching his hand toward the basin, and then he disappeared.
Did he enter the Moon Palace? Father, can you ask him to bring back a moon rabbit for Que'er?"
The ignorant child could not hide the truth in her heart. When her clear voice sounded, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
The generals held their breath and looked at Zhou Yuan's seat in disbelief.
At this moment, the entire training ground became extremely quiet, and the previous laughter and joy turned into silence.
"My brother has entered the Moon Palace. I am not dreaming.
When we were joking before, he also said that if he was lucky enough to enter the Moon Palace, he would definitely bring back some medicine and gold for me.
He won't forget it, right? He can't forget it. This is the closest time I have ever been to the Moon Palace medicine and gold in my life."
The excited voice of the military commander Cai Cheng broke the tranquility of the training ground.
The next moment, the training ground was filled with envious voices such as good luck, predestination, extraordinary luck, bring me a golden toad, my child also wants a moon rabbit, etc.
Even Lieutenant Jing'an was restless, thinking about how to ask Zhou Yuan to share his gains so that everyone could share in the blessing.
"Zhou Yuan is usually very generous, so he shouldn't mind sharing the joy.
At most, I can transfer a batch of treasures from the camp to him to offset the price, so that he won't lose money."
"Father, Moon Rabbit!"
"Remember, if Zhou Yuan can bring back the Moon Rabbit, father will definitely ask for it for you.
If not, don't be upset, it's fate that makes you enter the Moon Palace, and you can't force others to do it."
Zhou Yuan didn't know that as soon as he entered the dungeon, the generals in the camp were already excited and waiting for him to go back and share the Moon Palace treasures.
"Hey, is this the Good Medicine Moon Rabbit? This pestle is really fierce."
