Hutao uses me to judge my performance

Jiang Bai nodded seriously.

There are all good things in Zhongli, and this kind of wool can't be ignored.

"By the way, Hutao, you haven't said why you came to the mountains to celebrate your birthday!" Xiangling suddenly remembered this matter.

They came here all the way, as if they just came here for a picnic, so ordinary, not like the style of walnuts.

"This guy insists on taking me to see the sunrise, dragging me all the way to Qingyunding, and can't get back, so I have to ask you guys to come over."

Hu Tao held his head in both hands and threw the pot to Jiang Bai.

As for the top of the cloud, she didn't say.

Just treat it as a secret base for her and Jiang Bai.

Chapter 190 Sea Lantern Festival

Taking advantage of the young master of the chamber of commerce and the heirs of the alchemist family, Jiang Bai took out the books of the fairy family that he had obtained above the top of the cloud.

The back of the crane is quite big, and the slender neck blocked the hurricane generated by the high-speed flight for everyone. Even so, Jiang Bai didn't take more, only took out a few books, so as not to be blown away by the wind.

"Master, let's see if these books are valuable." Jiang Bai stuffed one of them to Hu Tao, and the other two to Xing Qiu and Chong Yun, rubbing his hands expectantly.

"You can also help me take a look."

"Where did you get this?" Hu Tao took a look at the cover. The cover of this book is quite quaint, and the paper has turned yellow. It is obviously an old thing from a long time ago.

"Above the clouds."

Chongyun took the ancient book handed over by Jiang Bai, flipped through it briefly, and suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, "This seems to be the oldest method of exorcising evil in my family."

ancient?

Jiang Bai's eyes are bright, ancient doesn't mean it is very valuable!

But I heard Chongyun continue: "The exorcism methods used in our family now are all improved versions based on this prototype. They were improved by generations of talented ancestors combined with our human physical fitness and today's environment. More It is suitable for us humans to use, and the ritual is also much simplified and gentler."

"Doesn't that mean it's worthless?" Jiang Bai felt happy in vain.

"How could it be?" Chongyun asked back, "Why is there no value?"

"Although we are using an improved version now, it doesn't mean that the ancient method of exorcism is unnecessary. When dealing with some stubborn evil spirits that are difficult to get rid of, this ancient and rough method of exorcism is more suitable."

Jiang Bai is not an alchemist, and he doesn't know how to exorcise evil spirits, although he has listened to the lectures of the guests in the Hall of Rebirth, and understands a little bit.

Moreover, the main business of the Pastoral Hall is funerals, and it is easy to encounter these things because it has been with the dead for a long time.

"Then if I want to sell it, will you buy it?"

Jiang Bai's words obviously stopped Chongyun from asking.

He shook his head and said very Versailles: "My family has it."

The environment in ancient times was not as good as it is now. At that time, evil spirits were rampant, diseases were rampant, and there were all kinds of dangerous monsters in the mountains. In order for humans to have the ability to deal with these crises, the immortals naturally wrote a lot of ancient books like this .

Jiang Bai's these are only very attractive to ordinary people, but for their ancient family of alchemists and exorcists, they have kept these ancient books and even carefully protected them, which is really unnecessary Go outside and buy the same.

Jiang Bai imagined that the seven stars raised the price, and the picture of the demon family scrambling was shattered.

Liyue has been guarding Liyue for 3600 years, and these aristocratic families who have been guarding Liyue have too deep a heritage. It is by no means that finding a few ancient books in the mountains and obtaining any treasures can compare to their thousands of years of accumulation.

"Are these books going to be sold? Do you want to hand them over to our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? We guarantee that they will be sold at a good price!" Xingqiu was very interested.

Compared with the demon-slayer family, what the chamber of commerce lacks the most is the background, but the most indispensable thing is Mo La. Presumably, many big businessmen will be interested in these ancient books.

Hu Tao closed the book in his hand, "Go back and make rubbings of all the books, and then send the originals to sell."

There is never too much knowledge. Books are just carriers for recording knowledge. There is no need to keep the original books. These original books are too old, and it is still complicated to store them.

It's better to sell the original and label it as "written by the immortal himself" and "a thousand-year-old ancient book" to maximize the profit.

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai thought of going together, and he thought so too.

"Listen to the Hall Master."

"After a while, the chamber of commerce will hold an auction. I'll help you arrange these ancient books and guarantee a good price!"

Jiang Bai hugged Xingqiu's shoulders and said with a serious face:

"Whether I can become a rich man in Liyue depends on you!"

The corner of Xingqiu's mouth twitched, thinking to rely on a few ancient books to become a rich man in Liyue would be too wishful thinking.

"I'll do my best, but you can't rely on me for the auction fees."

"Don't worry, I never default on my debts!"

In the deep night, the organ crane flew back to Liyue Harbor, and Jiang Bai and Hu Tao jumped down from the sky above the Hall of Rebirth, and flew back to the Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao went to Zhongli to brag about the vegetables heated with the fire element, and Jiang Bai watered the sweet flower garden he had just cultivated, and lay on the roof to watch the stars.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the breeze is blowing. This kind of life is really comfortable.

A peaceful life always passes quickly, and Jiang Bai can't feel the passage of time.

[Yeluo returns to the root] The business can't do a few missions a year. He follows Hutao and wanders around like a street sneaker every day. He basically walks around every corner of Liyue Port and the whole territory of Liyue.

It's as big as exorcising ghosts and evil spirits in no way, and as small as arguing with wild cats basking in the sun on the street. Time flies, and before you know it, the Sea Lantern Festival has arrived.

The Sea Lantern Festival is the biggest festival in Liyue.

On the day of the Sea Lantern Festival, people will put Xiaodeng and Mingxiao lanterns in the sky. They believe that the heroic souls who guarded Liyue in the past will return to their hometown under the guidance of the lanterns and reunite with everyone.

Thousands of bright lights symbolize the wish to pass on the torch, and the virtues will not be extinguished.

On this day, Hu Tao got up quite early, and knocked on Jiang Bai's door early in the morning.

She was wearing a new red dress, and she was carrying two bamboos that she had chopped off from nowhere, without even removing the bamboo leaves.

"Wake up! The sun is drying my ass!"

Jiang Bai, who was sleeping in the bed, was woken up. He rubbed his eyes and opened the window. There was no sun, and the sun hadn't come out yet.

Looking at the walnuts that suddenly appeared in the window, Jiang Bai is no longer surprised.

He yawned big, "Morning, Master~"

"Get up quickly, the good time can't be wasted sleeping!"

"Master, how do you learn how to speak like Chongyun?"

Chongyun, that kung fu fanatic, is practicing kung fu all the time.

"Oh, wash up quickly! The hall master is waiting for you to make the sky lantern! This hall mainly makes the biggest sky lantern in Liyue Port!"

In addition to the meaning of commemorating the heroic soul, today's Xiaodeng has also been endowed with more meanings.

People make good wishes and let them fly together with the lanterns.

"Good~"

Jiang Bai put on a new dress and came to the yard. Hu Tao had already laid out the drawings of Xiao Deng on the grass in the yard.

As Hutao said, the sky lantern she wants to make is quite big, so big that Jiang Bai is worried about whether it can fly.

"Because the bigger the frame, the heavier it will be, so I went to Zhongli's yard and secretly cut two thin bamboo strips, and used lighter bamboo strips to support the entire frame."

Glancing at the corner of the dragon-patterned clothes behind Hu Tao, Jiang Bai carefully reminded, "Master, be careful not to be beaten."

Chapter 191 Oversized Sky Lantern

Hu Tao put his hips on his hips and didn't take it seriously, "This hall master is the hall master, what's wrong with cutting off his two bamboos!"

"Hall Master."

Zhong Li's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Hu Tao froze.

She stood up with a smile on her face, without the slightest embarrassment of being caught doing something bad.

"It's Ke Qing, why did Ke Qing get up so early?"

"When I heard the sound of chopping bamboo, I got up to have a look, but I didn't think it was the hall master." Zhong Li's eyes fell on the two fresh bamboos on the ground, "The hall master wants my bamboo, so Ke Qing dare not refuse. .”

"However, hall master, I want to go shopping."

"This." Hu Tao's eyes wandered, and finally fell on Jiang Bai.

Asking Zhongli to go shopping means that she will bleed a lot today, but she was caught first, and if Zhongli doesn't go shopping, there are other ways to make her lose money.

She threw the money bag to Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai! Accompany Mr. Zhongli to purchase this important task and leave it to you! The budget is limited, don't exceed it."

Jiang Bai weighed the money in his purse, and then compared Zhongli's purchasing power, feeling that this "purchasing" trip was in a panic.

"Okay, let's go shopping! I'm going to make Xiaodeng!" Hu Tao ran away with two bamboos holding the blueprint, leaving only the fallen leaves to circle in the air.

Jiang Bai followed Zhongli out of the gate of the Rebirth Hall. Today's Liyue Port is very lively. Lanterns are hung in front of every house, and colorful silks and satins are hung in the sky above the streets. The cats and puppies all took a bath and were clean.

Pedestrians also put on new clothes one after another, wishing each other a happy Sea Lantern Festival.

"It's so lively." Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"This should be your first Sea Lantern Festival." Zhong Li walked among the festive crowd with a smile on his lips.

"Yes."

"Liyue's Sea Lantern Festival has a long history, and there are many customs. You don't need to go shopping with me. I don't want to buy anything. Let's go play."

"what?"

Jiang Bai had already made preparations to strictly guard against death, and would never let Zhong Li spend a penny more, but suddenly he didn't buy it?

"Go and play, by the way, Mora give it to me."

Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment, and handed him the Mora that Hutao gave him.

This Mora was originally a walnut for Zhongli, so there were only so many, and it was the same for him.

"What about Mr. Zhongli?"

"I'm going to see an old friend, and bring something with me by the way."

Zhong Li looked at Mo La in his purse, and it should be enough to buy a pair of [Lian Li Zhen Xin San].

"Happy Sea Lantern Festival." Zhongli congratulated.

"Happy Sea Lantern Festival!" Jiang Bai waved his hand and watched him walk into the crowd.

There is no need to accompany Zhongli to purchase, Jiang Bai wandered around the city alone, many people greeted him, and he responded one by one.

After buying two sugar figurines, Jiang Bai slipped back to Xiangsheng Hall.

Licking the sugar figurine, he stepped into Hutao's yard, "Master, are you done with your lantern?"

"How can it be so fast!"

Hu Tao raised his head from a pile of bamboo and rice paper, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Mr. Zhongli said he didn't need me to accompany him, and asked me to give Mo La to him, and then I came back."

Jiang Bai handed her the candy figurine specially made into the shape of a little ghost, "Hall master eats candy."

"I knew it, he was trying to blackmail my Mora on purpose!" Hu Tao crushed the sugar figurine into pieces, and regarded the sugar figurine as someone who spends money lavishly.

One hundred thousand Morayas!How much bamboo is enough for her to buy!

"I don't care, I'm going to cut some more!"

After a while, Hu Tao came back with a bunch of things. In addition to bamboo, there were high-quality inkstones, excellent pine smoke ink, cinnabar paint worth one or two thousand gold, and several different sizes that looked very expensive. brush.

Hu Tao happily put these things aside, and started to build a frame structure with Jiang Bai according to the drawings, and then pasted a layer of lamp paper after the frame was built.

Walnut picked up a pen, drew a beautiful red plum on it, and then stuffed it with a large piece of pumice.

From day to mid-day, after several processes, this huge sky lantern with a height of half a person is finally completed!

Looking at the lantern, Jiang Bai applauded and congratulated, "It's worthy of being the hall master, with ingenuity!"

"Let's put it on first, let's put it on together when it gets dark, it's guaranteed to be the brightest sky lantern in the night sky!"

In addition to setting off sky lanterns, the Sea Lantern Festival also offers sacrifices to heroes and martyrs.

Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to clean the inside and outside of the ancestral hall, burn incense, and place new tributes.

In the evening, after the sun had set, Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to carry the oversized Xiao Lantern he made to Wanmin Hall, and looked at Xiangling with a satisfied look, showing shocking eyes.
