Chapter 1235 Dongzhou Longmen Festival

"The commander is right, we should indeed dress in the same style!"

After hearing what he said, Fushun immediately raised his hands excitedly to express his strong support:

"Going to the Siren Stronghold to open the blind box is scheduled at the end of the itinerary, so I strongly recommend that everyone change into Natlan-style clothes before arriving at the Dragon Palace!

"Don't forget that today is the Dragon Gate Festival held every five years in Dongzhou. We will accompany the commander to watch the lantern festival in Xianluo City tonight!"

Lin Lan was amused by Fushun's choice of words, and reached out to rub the vitality girl's little head:

"What the hell is opening a blind box... But I have heard about the Dragon Gate Festival. No wonder you are so anxious to take me out."

On the way from Duanzhou River to Donghuang Temporary Port Area, he learned some Dongzhou folk customs from the experimental agency's offline database, which naturally included the Longmen Festival.

This is a traditional festival in Dongzhou since ancient times and is held every five years.

Just like the Lantern Festival in Blue Star Donghuang, on the day of the Longmen Festival, Dongzhou people will decorate the city with colorful calligraphy, paintings and handmade lanterns. It is even more lively than the Chinese New Year because it is only held every five years.

"Commander, don't you think it's strange?"

Huben suddenly came up to him, raised his head and smirked at him and asked:

"Why do the Natlanders give this festival the name "Dragon Gate" even though it is clear that they reject foreigners?"

"That said, it seems a little strange."

Lin Lan admitted that he was confused by Huben's question.

He knew very well that the Natlan people were extremely repulsive to non-human races due to the beast tide.

Even foreign humans, such as Oran people or people from the teaching country, will be stereotyped as untrustworthy in the eyes of most Natlan people.

The Natlan people of Dongzhou would name this grand traditional festival Longmen Festival, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Haha~ The commander must not be able to guess the answer to this question."

Hai Tian's gentle voice sounded just right, and the well-read Donghuang light patrol girl smiled and announced the answer for him:

"Because in the mythology passed down orally by the people of Dongzhou, the ancient powerful deity who opened up the way to heaven in Natlan is an ancestral dragon.

"The Ancestral Dragon is also recorded as Yinglong in Dongzhou or our Donghuang mythology.

"According to rumors, among the four ancient powers who created all things in the world, the first power born from the vast void was an ancestral dragon.

"After his birth, he saw that the two great powers born later in the void were not of the same race, so he used his essence and blood to create the Taixu Dragon Gate, so that the last great creation power was born in the body of an ancestral dragon.

"The Ancestral Dragon born after this is the ancestor of all things believed in Dongzhou mythology to create and open up the Natland Way of Heaven.

"In order to distinguish himself from the first ancestral dragon who regarded him as his own flesh and blood, he chose to cut off one of his wings, and the single-winged image was recorded on some heaven-level spiritual weapons in the Qinglong Clan of Dongzhou... Commander, what are you doing? Are you stunned?"

Hai Tian was halfway through talking about the folk myths they collected in Dongzhou, but found that Lin Lan's expression became a little subtle.

"Ahem, it's okay."

Lin Lan coughed twice, took a deep breath and continued to ask Hai Tian:

"So... is the one-winged ancestral dragon who is believed by the Dongzhou people to have opened up the way to heaven and created the world to be the true form of the goddess Natlan?"

"This is just a fairy tale about the Dragon Gate Festival in Dongzhou. Commander, how can a fairy tale be taken seriously?"

Hai Tian didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so he patiently answered for him:

"Myths can trigger endless associations in people. If the commander wants to combine the myths of the goddess Natlan and the ancestral dragon, it is naturally possible."

After Hai Tian finished speaking, Long Wu tugged at the corner of his clothes and pointed to the pavilion by the swimming pool in front of him and suggested:

"Commander, we can go there and sit down and listen to Hai Tian telling stories. I also brought a lot of snacks."

After Long Wu said this, Lin Lan noticed that there was an open-air swimming pool on the flying spiritual weapon deck where he was.

Not only that, there are many entertainment facilities and artificial lawns on this wide flying spiritual weapon deck, which is almost the same as the rooftop park.

"Well, let's go over and sit down together and talk."

Lin Lan finished speaking to Long Wu with a smile, and then added to the ladies of the Donghuang ship:

"Everyone just follow Fushun's instructions and change into Natlan-style attire when we get to Xianluo City."

Regarding this matter, the Donghuang ship girls and the two Antiques girls had no objections.

They had all brought Natlan-style clothes, and they would just change them when the time came.

But Lin Lan's thoughts at this time were all focused on the Dongzhou myth about the Longmen Festival that Haitian told him.

This myth... gave him a vague idea that he was not sure about.

But now he couldn't verify this idea even if he said it.

After all, the Little Sword Spirit is just the sword spirit of the brave created by the goddess Liaozhou. It is definitely not clear about such ancient things that happened before the chaos of the other world began.

So Lin Lan quickly decided to keep this idea in her heart and planned to confirm it after returning to her home port.

"If you want green tea, biscuits, iris-flavored cakes, and candies, get some fruit candies first..."

Long Wu said he brought a lot of snacks, but this "a lot" could be said to have completely refreshed his definition of the word.

Xiao Longniang's ship's storage space was like a bottomless pit, and soon the table where everyone was sitting was filled with all kinds of snacks and desserts.

"Okay, okay, Long Wu, that's all for now, you won't be able to put it down on the table again!"

After Lin Lan stopped Long Wu who wanted to get more snacks, he watched several naughty children start to fight for the candies, so he thought about it and said with a smile:

"Let me take advantage of this time to show you the Sword of the Brave."

Before arriving at Xianluo City, he planned to take advantage of this moment to use the fire element and grass element sword souls to completely reshape the Lihuo Divine Tree.

"The Sword of the Brave! Commander, take it out and show it to us!"

As he expected, Fushun, Feiyun, Huben and Changchun all cast curious glances at him, and Fushun shouted excitedly:

"The real sword of the brave... just thinking about it makes me feel so powerful and handsome. Commander, I also want to be a real brave!"

"There is a virtual amusement park built in the port area. You can experience it directly when you arrive in Fushun. You can be any kind of brave person you want."

Lin Lan finished speaking to Fushun with a smile, then stood up and went to the artificial lawn next to the pavilion to spread out his military equipment.

And the Power Hero Sword created by the inventor Yubari, the little fox girl of Chongqing, was also taken from the weapon arsenal in his hand.

The nine-color Liaozhou sword soul representing the nine elements also surrounds the blade of this power sword.

"Wow!"

As expected, he successfully received the envious voices of Fushun and Yunfei.

Even Anshan and Harbin were all attracted by the new weapons of the commander's uniform that he officially displayed for the first time.

"It's really not bad. This sword matches the commander's uniform very well, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. It should be said that the guys from Chongying have some expertise in forging swords."

After Harbin smiled and commented on the workmanship of the Rubik's Cube Power Sword, Haitian also asked him thoughtfully:

"Ah, does the new sword spirit companion introduced by the commander at the banquet yesterday stay in this brave sword on weekdays?"

"That's right! This power sword is where I rest!"

Before Lin Lan could answer, the proud voice of the little sword spirit sounded from the small metal speaker on the hilt of his sword.

Hearing this childish loli voice outside the fleet channel, all the girls on the Donghuang ship on the deck were stunned.

And when they all saw that the sound originated from the trumpet on the hilt of the sword, which was perfectly made and made perfect, they all couldn't help laughing.

Among them, Fushun and Feiyun were the most popular. They held their stomachs and laughed until they rolled on the ground.

"Pfft, pfft, hahahaha, who installed this speaker? The shape is too funny!"

"Master Feiyun guesses that it must be someone from the White Eagle camp who did it, hahahaha..."

Well, Feiyun, who was rolling on the floor with laughter, really got it right.

Lin Lan also had a smile on his face covered by military uniforms.

This horn, which was welded on by the girls of the White Eagle ship and used to speak to the little sword spirit, directly ruined the domineering and mighty image of the Sword of the Brave in terms of shape.

But that didn't make sense. Who told him to come to Natland from the port area so suddenly?

Fortunately, although Harbin laughed, he still comforted him and the aggrieved little sword spirit:

"Hey, it's okay. I understand. This speaker must have been welded on by the White Eagle companions at Xinghai Base as a temporary communication tool for the little sword spirit, right?

"When the commander goes to the Northern Joint Temporary Port Area and lets Chkalov and Nakhimov upgrade the military equipment in all aspects, it will be enough to change the shape of the horn."
