Chapter 114 Baihua Mountain

The float parade lasted for the entire morning. In the afternoon, there were various celebrations. Everyone was immersed in the joy of the festival and forgot about the missing soul master.

Some men and women use this festival to express their love to each other and commit to spending their lives together, while some couples propose marriage on this occasion.

Di Hong and Tang Yuehua strolled hand in hand in the city, enjoying the festive atmosphere. Only the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were still struggling to investigate. This festival had nothing to do with them at all.

On a rooftop.

Tang Hao lay there, looking at the blue sky. The sky was clear and the breeze carried the fragrance of flowers drifting away into the distance.

Tang Xiao stood aside with his arms folded, looking at the celebrating crowd below.

"Except for the Baihua Mountain in the City Lord's Mansion and the Wuhun Hall in Huacheng, we have checked all the places we could, but found nothing." Tang Hao sat up. He now doubted whether they had suspected the wrong target. The disappearance of the spirit master had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion.

Otherwise, how could they not find any trace at all?

Tang Xiao looked towards Baihua Mountain.

"Baihua Mountain has been blocked off now, and we can only enter in the evening."

In order to maintain the sense of mystery, no one is allowed to enter Baihua Mountain now. Of course, after so many years of hosting the Baihua Festival, Baihua Mountain no longer has any secrets, but the necessary procedures must still be followed.

"Brother, you haven't noticed that the city lord has not shown up yet."

"It stands to reason that on such a grand occasion, you shouldn't not show up."

Tang Xiao shook his head: "Not sure, the city lord should show up in the evening."

"Wait, wait, let's go to Baihua Mountain at night." Tang Hao lay down again out of boredom.

"No, we'll go to the City Lord's Mansion at night." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"Hmm?" Tang Hao was puzzled.

Tang Xiao said: "If the city lord will go to Baihua Mountain at night, then we will sneak into the city lord's mansion to investigate."

"Being a thief?" Tang Hao laughed, but what greeted him was Tang Xiao's palm.

Patting Tang Hao, Tang Xiao said unhappily, "I am going to investigate, why are you a thief?"

"If the city lord has no problem with this, we'll go."

Tang Hao nodded: "Okay, should we notify Di Hong and Yue Hua?"

Tang Xiao shook his head slightly: "No need, let them have fun, there is no need to let them get involved in this matter, and besides, you and I are more than capable of handling this matter."

He just didn't believe it. Could it be that two Soul Saints couldn't do this? Even if they fought, they wouldn't be afraid.

There is not a single Soul Sage in Huacheng. To put it in an exaggerated way, even if all the Soul Masters in Huacheng were put together, they might not be a match for the two of them.

So no need to worry.

In the evening, the city lord's convoy left the city lord's mansion and headed towards Baihua Mountain.

The people in the city also walked towards Baihua Mountain. Of course, not many people went to Baihua Mountain. It was not that people did not want to go, but it cost money to go to Baihua Mountain, ten gold soul coins per person. Ordinary people would not be willing to spend ten gold soul coins to enjoy the flowers.

What's more, the person who can take out ten gold soul coins is not an ordinary person.

Di Hong and Tang Yuehua took a carriage to the foot of Baihua Mountain. There was only one road leading up the mountain, and the city defense troops were stationed at the foot of the mountain.

Tang Yuehua lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Although there were not many people coming, there were still nearly 10,000 people.

These ten gold soul coins per person equals to almost one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Di Hong got off the carriage, then stretched out his hand, and Tang Yuehua held his hand and got off the carriage.

Although it is just at the foot of the mountain, as long as you look up, you can see the flowers that have not yet bloomed all over the mountain. The flowers here are specially selected, and they will bloom at the same time tonight.

At the same time, you can clearly see the huge colorful lotus.

After paying twenty gold soul coins, the two walked towards the mountain.

As they walked up the mountain, Di Hong joked, "This City Lord's Mansion is very fair. No matter what your status is, everyone has to pay ten gold soul coins."

"Then if Emperor Xue Ye comes, will he pay ten gold soul coins?" Tang Yuehua asked with a smile.

Di Hong thought about it.

"If Emperor Xue Ye comes, the City Lord's Mansion should give him ten gold soul coins."

"This is simply the opposite of Tian Gang. I have never heard of any city lord who dares to accept money from the emperor."

The two walked up the mountain hand in hand. They saw many couples along the way. Some of the couples had the men carrying the women on their backs. Tang Yuehua looked at them with some envy.

Di Hong saw it, then walked in front of her and squatted down.

"Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Tang Yuehua naturally lay on his back, and then Di Hong carried her up the mountain. Some people saw this and some of them were unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to surpass him.

All of a sudden, the lovers and couples on the mountain road started competing with each other, and no one was willing to give in.

What’s the use of having a beautiful wife with a good figure? Are you faster than me?

In fact, everyone wants to find a good spot to enjoy the flowers. Otherwise, if you want to better enjoy the sight of flowers blooming all over the mountains in the crowded place, you have to find a good spot.

Soon, Di Hong arrived at the top of the mountain. Although he was not the first to set out, he was the first to reach the top of the mountain and found an excellent position on the top of the mountain.

Looking from where he was, there was an endless sea of ​​flowers not far away, although of course those flowers were not in full bloom.

A few dozen meters behind them was the huge colorful lotus.

The colorful lotus looks big enough when viewed from a distance, and when you look at it up close, you will be truly shocked by it.

The colorful lotus is nearly a hundred meters high. If it blooms, I'm afraid the entire mountain top will be covered by it.

The top platform of Baihua Mountain is not big.

If tens of thousands of people gathered to play, there would definitely not be enough space, so most people chose to stay halfway up the mountain, and only a few hundred people reached the top of the mountain.

The fiery red sun is slowly setting in the west, and the moon is slowly rising from the east.

The sunset in the sky was particularly beautiful, and Tang Yuehua admired the beautiful scenery.

At this moment, Di Hong seemed to smell a fishy smell.

"Do you smell anything?"

"Taste?" Tang Yuehua was puzzled.

"No, isn't there only the scent of flowers here?"

Di Hong shook his head: "It seems to be a faint smell of blood, mixed with the fragrance of flowers."

"Really?" Tang Yuehua smelled it carefully, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood, but it was so faint that it was difficult to smell it.

"Yes, but why does this place smell like blood?"

Tang Yuehua looked around. Although she smelled blood, she couldn't find where the smell came from. Di Hong looked at the lotus.

"If I'm not mistaken, the bloody smell should be coming from this lotus."

"Lotus." Tang Yuehua looked at the huge colorful lotus. The smell of blood actually came from it.

She seemed to understand something.

"No wonder no one has discovered it for so many years."

"It seems that the City Lord's Mansion has ulterior motives in hosting this Hundred Flowers Festival."

The fragrance of the flowers covered up the faint smell of blood. In addition, there were flowers everywhere in the mountains, so most people could not smell the almost negligible smell of blood.
