The super life extension system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71 Sky Lantern
On the third floor of Qifeng Pavilion, all the windows were opened, and all the dudes stood in front of the windows, wanting to see what the gift Guo Jia was talking about?
Everyone is very curious. Most people give gifts, and the common ones are gold, silver and jewelry. High-end warriors usually choose horses or swords, while literati like to give Guqin and rare classics.

But Guo Jia said that the gift he gave was in the sky, which is really weird.

The night before 1800 was different from now. There were only sporadic fires in the whole city of Luoyang, and the light was very dim because of the burning of kerosene or candles.

It just so happened that the snowstorm had just passed tonight, the moon was still slacking off, and the stars were on holiday. The whole sky was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

What would be a gift in this case?Even if there is, you can't see it, right?
Cao Cao, Xun You and the others were equally curious and wanted to ask Guo Jia, but they found that Zhang Ning, a little witch, was standing beside him. No one dared to approach him within five steps except Xun Yu. With a trembling, everyone dismissed the matter. idea.

Ask Xun Yu?But Xun Yu's face was also full of anticipation at the moment, obviously he didn't know what it was.

"Guo Fengxiao, what exactly do you want to give?"

They didn't dare to ask, but there was one person who couldn't help it. Gongsun Zan, the stubborn border people, also didn't know how to beat around the bush.

"Surprise, it doesn't make sense to say it."

Guo Jia smiled mysteriously, but did not answer the question.

"you"

Gongsun Zan was in a hurry. Guo Jia originally wanted to catch Xun Yu's appetite, but unexpectedly he caught Gongsun Zan. The emperor was really not in a hurry.

But just as Gongsun Zan wanted to continue asking questions, Zhang Yu interrupted him.

"Look, to the north, there is fire."

"Huoguang, isn't it on fire?" Gongsun Zan looked anxious.

"It's on fire, it shouldn't be, there is fire but no smoke, it doesn't look like it's on fire." Gu Yong observed more carefully.

"That's right, a rough man with poor eyesight, really stupid." Zhang Yu had a rare chance to taunt Gongsun Zan, so naturally he would not forget to take revenge.

One has a hot temper, and the other holds grudges, and was about to pinch, but heard a voice exclaim.

"Well, that seems to be the location of the Xun Mansion."

"Yes, that's the Xun Mansion. Wen Ruo, Gong Da, what's going on?"

"I do not know either."

Xun Yu and Xun You were also puzzled, so they looked at Guo Jia, only to find that he was dozing off, but there was a smile hidden in the corner of his eyes, and it seemed that he would not say anything, so he had to continue to wait and see to find out what happened.

"Lights, lights, lots of lights!"

"It seems to form a character, which is the word "Xun"!"

In the north, as the flames continued to rise, the dudes gradually discovered that these lights were actually emitted by individual lamps.

Each of these lamps is half a meter in size, and the whole body is red, looking like a lantern. The interior emits bright light, which is particularly obvious in this dark night.

There are no stars or moon tonight, but these fire lamps have become stars in the sky, more beautiful and brighter than ordinary stars.

What is even more peculiar is that these lamps seem to be fixed, forming Xun Yu's "Xun" character.

What surprised the dudes the most was that these lights were not placed indoors, but flew in the sky.

Flying to the sky is a mysterious thing that makes everyone yearn for it. How can the dudes not be surprised?
If modern people see this scene, they will never be surprised. This is a Kongming lantern, and almost everyone has seen it, and even set it off with their own hands.

Kongming lanterns, commonly known as wishing lanterns, are also known as praying sky lanterns.It is an ancient handicraft of the Han nationality, and it was mostly used for military purposes in ancient times.Modern people put Kongming lanterns mostly for blessing.Men, women and children, old and young, write down wishes of blessings by hand, which symbolizes a successful harvest and happiness every year.It is usually cast on major festivals such as Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The production method of the Kongming Lantern is also very simple. You only need to tie a square frame with bamboo strips, paste paper to make a headlight, place burning turpentine on the chassis, and the lamp will fly into the sky with hot air.

But for the ancients who have never seen Kongming lanterns, this is definitely a spectacle.

"How is this possible? How did the lights fly into the sky?"

"Where is the light, it is obviously a large lantern."

"Whatever it is, it's really a miracle to be able to fly into the sky!"

"Yes, Fengxiao, what method did you use? Teach us too."

The dandies who had been waiting for it were all excited at once, the third floor of Qifeng Pavilion was full of hustle and bustle, the third sister and Lai Yinger were equally astonished, their beautiful eyes could not move away from the Kongming lantern.

At this time, many people and aristocratic families in Luoyang City also discovered the scene in the sky, and one after another walked into the yard and stepped out of the house to watch the Kongming Lantern rising higher and higher.Even Emperor Han Ling, who was playing with his concubine in the palace, was amazed when he discovered this scene.

Even though the temperature was extremely low at night after the snow in the north, people's faces were red and their bodies were stiff, but they still couldn't stop them from gathering together to watch this wonderful scenery.

Even though he was in Luoyang, he was used to seeing major events in the world, and saw a lot of court officials, but the scene in front of him was definitely enough for all Luoyang people to remember for a lifetime.

"Look, to the south, there are also sky lanterns to the south."

"It's the residence of the Tang family, Mr. Tang Heng, the Zhongchang servant."

"Yes, you see, the south is also a character, it is the word "Tang"!"

Soon, sharp-eyed people discovered that many of the same lights flew out from the north of Luoyang.

Because this kind of lamp can fly into the sky, many people call it sky lantern and pass on the name.

In this life, Kongming lanterns are called sky lanterns.

A "Xun" character rises from the Xun family in the north, and a "Tang" character rises from the Tang family in the south, echoing each other, and the two characters seem to be out of the control of the air flow, and they fly towards the center of Luoyang at the same time.

Not surprisingly, these two characters will meet in the middle of Luoyang City.

"The Xun family and the Tang family, what's going on?"

Many people in Luoyang were puzzled and asked the people around them for advice.

"Hehe. You don't know that, it is said that Xun Yu from the Xun Mansion and Miss Tang Xin from the Tang Mansion are getting married, and the marriage will be bestowed by His Majesty himself."

Immediately there are well-informed people who stand up. It is a great hobby of people to show off things that others don't know.

"Ah! So that's the case, but what's the matter with this sky lantern?"

The former continued to ask questions.

"This this."

Of course the latter couldn't answer, this sky lantern was also the first time they saw it.

"So you don't know, hmph!"

There was contempt in the former's words, and he was obviously very unhappy with the latter's showing off.

"Who said I don't know anymore?"

The latter was in a hurry, so he couldn't lose face.

"Oh, you know? Then tell me."

The former's aggressive method is not very clever, but the latter is just taking this trick.

"It must be because Master Xun Wang Zuozhi is talented, Miss Tang Xin is a lady, and even His Majesty personally bestowed the marriage, so the heavens felt that they were a natural couple, so the vision came down. Yes, that's it!"

"Are you saying that this sky lantern is a vision from the heavens? Don't blame the sky, don't blame me, I don't have the slightest disrespect."

The former panicked, doubting what he said, isn't he doubting God?
If you are a modern person, you will naturally sneer at these words, but 1800 years ago, people did not have the slightest doubt.

For things they can't explain, ghosts are usually involved.

The people around complained to the sky one after another, and respected the sky lantern even more, and the well-informed latter showed a sly smile.

It turned out that this person was none other than the youngest of the Li family.
