Chapter 165 The Old Ancestor

Before he knew it, it had been eight years since Fu Shiyi went down the mountain.

This is also the first time she and her father have spent New Year's Eve together in eight years.

While her father led the team out to practice the Seven Star Sword Formation, she started to work alone. Since it was Chinese New Year, Spring Festival couplets were indispensable, but it had to be left to her father to write.

Father's calligraphy attainments are well-known in the family.

She used a clean bottle to ripen a few bamboos, prepared brushes and ink, and some rice paper, and planned to make some paper lanterns to set off the atmosphere.When paper lanterns were at Guyaju, she learned from Sanbo.

The production method is not difficult, just three steps.

First, bamboo branches or bamboo skins are built into a frame, and the joints are tied tightly with thin wires to form a cylindrical skeleton; then the gold sprinkled rice paper is cut to fit the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and after pasting, for the sake of appearance, use The narrow strips of imitation damask paper are bordered on the top and bottom, which looks more elegant, much like ancient palace lanterns.

Lastly, light the candles.

In less than half an hour, Fu Shiyi completed one.

"See how it works."

Fu Shiyi made a tactic with one hand, murmured a word, and then popped his fingertips, and a small flame burst out. Fu Shiyi pointed into the lantern, and the red light flashed, and the flame accurately fell into the lantern. on the candle.

Candlelight is reflected from the hollow of the lantern.

Since she made the lamp body with white rice paper, and the red rice paper was pasted inside, the pattern traced on the outer layer of rice paper looks even more beautiful under the blush.

When San Niang comes back.

Dozens of red lanterns are hung in a patchwork pattern on the ceiling of the cave.Different patterns are depicted on the lanterns, which are so beautiful under the reflection of candlelight.

At first glance, I thought it was the lively Lantern Festival.

Sanniang was in a trance for a moment, and then a warm feeling surged up in her heart, she smiled and said to Fu Shishi:
"Your father was worried that you would not get used to being cold and quiet outside during the New Year's Eve, so he asked me to come back early to decorate. I didn't want you to have already dressed up. They will be surprised when they come back."

Fu Shiyi smiled.

The two began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Fu Shiyi's Sea of ​​Consciousness space has a lot of fruits and vegetables planted in Guyaju. She thought that her father and the others had not had a good meal in the six or seven years in the Southern Wasteland, so she wanted to take advantage of the For the big Chinese New Year, make it richer.

She is in charge of the big dishes.

In addition to helping her, Sanniang also prepared cold dishes, four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four Kanguo and four candied fruits.

Busy day.

When Fu Zhihong led the team back to the cave, he saw the red lanterns all over the wall and dozens of delicacies placed on the four long tables put together. He, who seldom smiled, also laughed with everyone.

"Eight years have passed in a flash, and Eleven has grown into a big girl."

"Wow, bird's nest shredded chicken soup, stewed pork tendon with sea cucumber, shredded radish soup with fresh razor clam, stewed chicken with mushrooms, hammer of a potter's wheel, stewed ham with fish maw, there are fake Jiangyao, Xi Shi milk, chicken shoot porridge, you are too capable on the [-]th. Bar."

The New Year was happily spent in the cave.

In Qiliu Forest, which is less than [-] kilometers away from here, the originally quiet forest suddenly became agitated. The low-level monsters in the forest ran away like a big enemy.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew past.

A bird about thirty feet long passed over the forest.

There were two monks sitting on top of the bird, their costumes were quite different from those of the Yue Kingdom. Although they had opened the windshield, they looked haggard.

The two monks looked quite old, even their eyebrows were gray, and their figures sitting on the birds were precarious, as if they were about to fall down in a second.

The two looked at each other, and finally the gray-clothed old man couldn't bear it any longer. He patted the bird's wings lightly, and said respectfully:
"Old Ancestor, tonight is the New Year's Eve. We have been driving for nearly three years through wind and rain, and we are about to reach the destination you mentioned. Why don't we find a place to rest tonight?"

Birds have three-color wings.

As if he had never heard the words of the gray-clothed old man, the flying speed did not decrease but increased a bit.

The two old men were unprepared, their bodies became unsteady, and they fell obliquely. When they reached midair, they were in a hurry, and a blue light flashed when they were about to land.

It turned out to be able to fly with the sword.

Obviously the two of them are at least Foundation Establishment monks.

The three-color bird that was going away turned its head and chirped softly, and then the figure disappeared into the distance.

The gray-clothed old man blinked, panicked, and looked at the white-clothed old man beside him: "Brother, what did the old ancestor say just now, he won't be really angry, right?"

The eldest brother shook his head, and the whole person relaxed: "Just now, the ancestor said that he went to the cave to inquire about it, and he will pick us up tomorrow. Oops, my old bones, I almost fell apart along the way. Two Brother, let's quickly find a place to rest."

The two brothers controlled the flying swords and quickly found a hiding place. The flying swords fired a volley and opened up a cave in a short while.

"Second brother, you set up a lost trace array in the cave. Before I came, I checked the file. Although this Yue country is a barren land, it was a holy land for cultivating immortals ten thousand years ago. Many talents came from here, although they are now in decline. , but just in case, it’s better to be careful.”

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he first took out two moonstones from the storage bag and inlaid them on the wall. Then with a flick of his sleeves, a dozen pieces of two-meter-long tiger skins were spread on the ground one after another, followed by coffee tables, futons, and incense burners. After a while, the originally bare stone cave turned into a luxurious palace in the blink of an eye.

After everything is arranged.

The second brother has also finished setting up the lost trace formation. It took less than half an hour from the formation to the end. He is obviously a master of the formation. He took the fairy dew tea handed over by his elder brother, took a sip, and couldn't help it. Let out a comfortable nasal sound:

"Oh, I finally came back to life. Oh, my old bones."

The eldest brother also showed a relaxed look on his face.

After a cup of tea.

The second brother who came over relaxed looked at the elder brother leaning on the pure white animal chair, faintly excited and said:

"Brother, you said that this old ancestor we all thought he had died long ago, but he turned into a three-color Suzaku and returned. What incredible treasure did you find?"

"Your elm head, you are really going back as you live. If the ancestor really found some great treasure, he can enjoy it all by himself. Why bother to pull us together? You think he Stupid?"

The second brother smiled naively: "Brother, the ancestor is naturally not stupid, but he returned to the clan this time, and he didn't look for anyone, but chose us two brothers, why?"
