After Ye Yu finished speaking, he ignored everyone, took the burning torch from She Dongcheng on the side, and then set the paper phoenix and bird on fire.

This move made everyone feel sorry for everyone, and felt that even if this lantern was not as good as those two, there was no need to be so violent, wouldn't it be a pity to burn it like this?

Bellow! Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the paper bird and even the phoenix on the branch were surrounded by firelight, and for a while, the whole branch became ten thousand sparks.

This kind of little fire that blows with the breeze is beautiful but it is a pity, because when the fire burns out, it will be wiped out.

"Why are you here, isn't it ...... so?"

At this moment, Yue Lin couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, he didn't understand what Ye Yu was doing this for. Although he heard Fang Cai Ye Yu's words clearly, the Phoenix Nirvana was reborn from the flames and was just an allusion.

Imagine how the paper-paste phoenix and the bird can withstand the burning of the fire, you must know that 'paper can't hold the fire' is also a fact that is difficult to change.

"Don't be impatient, please look!"

Ye Yu was not in a hurry to appease the puzzled Yue Lin, pointed to the 'Fire Tree Starlight' where the flamelight was decreasing, and then waved his wide sleeves with a gust of wind, and the firelight of several small birds nearby was extinguished.

Yue Lin didn't know what he meant, and looked in the direction that Ye Yu pointed, only to see that the bird that had been extinguished was still safe and sound, and the painted bird seemed more agile, not only that, but there was also a faint fragrance emanating out.

Yue Lin was surprised and said, "This papier-mâché bird is unharmed!" ”

Wow!

Yue Lin's words immediately caused a commotion among everyone, regardless of what this lantern was, but just because this papier-mâché bird was unharmed, it was enough to make people jaw-dropping.

The four judges were also surprised by this sudden vision, and looked at the hundred birds and phoenix lanterns that had been abandoned.

As the fire on the tree gradually extinguished, this bird and phoenix lantern was displayed unharmed in front of everyone. Not only that, but the candles in the bellies of the phoenix and the little bird were also lit with the fire, and the fragrance filled the entire high platform.

As the breeze blows, the fragrance spreads around. One hundred and one candles swayed in the wind, like stars hanging in the treetops, and the phoenix and birds looked even more agile and vibrant against the background of the candlelight.

"My lord, the four judges, I wonder if this lamp is in the eyes of the law?"

"This ......"

One of the judges stood up and surrounded the lantern for a week, before sighing and exclaiming: "Sure enough, it is the rebirth of the phoenix nirvana, a fire not only moistens the original roughness, but also makes it ......more vivid."

"Yes, this enduring fragrance has both the unique woody aroma of sycamore wood and the intoxicating aroma of fine wine! Rare! Rare! ”

"Makes sense! A torch ignites 10,000 points of starlight, and a sycamore attracts a hundred birds and phoenixes...... Wonderful! Yue Lin stroked his three-inch beard lightly and couldn't help but praise happily.

Ye Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard these two sentences, thinking that literati just prefer poetry and rendering, more than 100 candles actually called 10,000 points of starlight, which really added a bit of poetry.

After some analysis, everyone was full of praise for this picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and finally agreed that this lantern was above Ye Mingming and Yue Sanniang in terms of artistic conception and creativity.

"My lord, the four of us unanimously believe that this hundred birds and phoenixes are impressive, and the allusion to the rebirth of the phoenix nirvana is vividly and vividly played, and the artistic conception is far-reaching and admirable!"

Yue Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around at everyone in the audience, and saw that everyone did not say anything against it, so he set his eyes on Ye Mingming and Yue Sanniang: "I don't know if the two of you have any objections to this?" ”

After all, Ye Yu's participation is a bit unruly, similar to Cheng Biting Jin who kills halfway. Therefore, for the final evaluation, it is still necessary for him to consult the two of them.

Ye Mingzhi glared at Ye Yu fiercely, he had watched the scene carefully. Because of this, he knew that today's limelight was stolen by Ye Yu again.

For him, who is already the first to get it, how can he not be resentful. He originally wanted to take advantage of Yue Lin's inquiry to take Ye Yu, the leader, back on the grounds that Ye Yu was presumptuous to participate. But just as he was about to speak, Yue Sanniang on the side had already opened his mouth.

"Convincing, no objections!"

"You ......" Yue Sanniang's words took the lead in speaking, making Ye Mingming feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Yue Sanniang, who was faintly better than him, took the initiative to admit defeat, if he continued to disagree, wouldn't it seem that he was too stingy.

After thinking about it, he had to swallow back the original words, and then responded: "There is no objection here! ”

"Good! Since neither of them has any objections, the official hereby officially announces that the leader of this year's Lantern Conference is Ye Yu's Hundred Birds and Phoenix! ”

Yue Lin's announcement made everyone in the audience burst into warm applause. The applause one after another has already shown the correctness of the judging results.

However, Ye Yubiao didn't seem to be very excited, but pushed a wheelchair to Yue Sanniang's approach, and asked solemnly: "Girl, do you still remember Fang Cai's bet?" ”

"Of course remember, I am willing to gamble and lose! What does Childe ask for? Although Yue Sanniang lost this competition, she did not deny the previous gambling contract.

Ye Yu looked up at Yue Sanniang, and the two looked at each other for a short time, making Yue Sanniang's cheeks have two more red glows.

Ye Yu pointed to the butterfly silver hairpin on Yue Sanniang's bun, and said softly: "Ye asked for the hairpin on the girl's bun!" ”

"...... you" As soon as she heard the man in front of her ask for a hairpin, Yue Sanniang was stunned on the spot, and in an instant, a little bit of clouds were added to her already reddish pretty face.

Fang was still able to face her directly, and suddenly her beautiful eyes flashed and she deliberately dodged.

Ye Yu didn't know what he meant, and said in his heart that this gambling contract was agreed in advance, could it be that this girl surnamed Yue was reluctant?

Thinking of this, Ye Yu asked in a condensed voice: "Could it be that the girl refuses to cut her love?" ”

"This ......"

Yue Sanniang hesitated for a moment, and saw that Ye Yu was not joking, so she said: "How can you be untrustworthy if you want to lose the bet, since the son loves this thing, Sanniang will give it to the child!" As he spoke, he reached out and took the silver hairpin from the bun and handed it to Ye Yu.

Give? Isn't that obviously what I won? However, now that the silver hairpin has been obtained, Ye Yu will not fight about these, and then chuckle and say, "Thank you girl for making it happen!" ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Yue Sanniang and pushed the wheelchair towards Su Yueyun and the others. This sudden snub made Yue Sanniang feel a sense of loss, but this was just the beginning.

When Ye Yu returned to his place, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Su Yueyun to come forward and speak. Su Yueyun didn't know what she meant, but she still bent down and listened to Ye Yu's instructions.

However, this time Ye Yu did not speak, but first inserted the butterfly silver hairpin he got into Yueyun's hair diagonally.

Looking at Su Yueyun, who was surprised, she smiled and said: "Yueyun really has a good eye, this hairpin accessory is on your bun, it really has a sense of icing on the cake!" ”

"Brother Yu, how did this hairpin get into your hands?"

"Won!" Ye Yu smiled very casually.

Although Su Yueyun was overjoyed at the moment, she still did not forget the original owner of this hairpin. When she turned around to look at Yue Sanniang, Yue Sanniang was so angry that her face was flushed, and she stomped her feet and hurriedly got off the high platform.

Even if Yue Lin, the third uncle, called softly behind him twice, he didn't see Yue Sanniang's figure stop at all.

……

Then a grand and lively lantern competition ended after Ye Yu won the championship, but people talked about the various wonders of the lantern festival with relish.

Especially Ye Yu's lantern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, it is even more amazing and unforgettable.

On the way back, She Dongcheng and Su Yueyun asked about the secret of the lantern, and Ye Yu also told him bluntly without concealing it. In fact, the so-called phoenix nirvana rebirth is just a gimmick to deepen the meaning of this lamp.

The reason why the papier-mâché birds and phoenixes were not burned by the flames was simply because the paper was soaked in spirits.

Slightly purer liquor burns easily, but when the paper used to soak the liquor ignites, the first thing to ignite is the alcohol on the surface. When the water evaporates, it absorbs the heat released by the combustion of alcohol, so that the temperature does not reach the ignition point of the paper;

Because combustion consumes only alcohol, not the water in the alcohol solution, when the alcohol is burned, all that is left on the paper is water, and how can a slightly damp piece of paper burn?

In addition, after being smoked by the flame, the sticky and rough parts will be moistened.

Not only that, the inside of the paper-paste bird and phoenix is also sprinkled with the fragments of maple leaves, which will exude a faint taste of sycamore wood at high temperatures, which adds to the artistic conception of 'phoenix sycamore'.

Coupled with the diffuse faint aroma of wine, how can it not be intoxicating? is also as Yue Lin praised: a torch ignites ten thousand points of starlight, and a sycamore attracts a hundred birds and a phoenix! If you talk about allusions and artistic conceptions, how can Ye Mingming and Yue Sanniang compare.

Along the way, Ye Yu saw Su Yueyun looking thoughtful, so he asked, "Why are you depressed, could it be that this butterfly silver hairpin is not to your liking?" ”

"Isn't it ......" Su Yueyun responded without thinking when she heard this.

"Why is that?"

Su Yueyun hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Brother Yu, you won this hairpin for Yueyun, Yueyun is very happy, but do you know that this hairpin can't be asked for at will......"

"What, is this still important?" Ye Yu was quite stunned when he heard this, thinking about whether there are rules for a hairpin?

Seeing that Ye Yu really didn't seem to understand this, Su Yueyun suddenly had a feeling of gaining and losing, and then said softly: "Of course you are exquisite, this hairpin can be used as a token for women, if a man takes the initiative to ask for it, it means admiration......"

"What!? Admiration? Ye Yu suddenly had a cold war, how could there be such a rule in his heart. Then he thought of Yue Sanniang on the stage, and stammered in amazement: "That...... That ...... just that"

Su Yueyun pouted, puffed out her cheeks and said, "I thought you knew?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Ye Yu said in his heart that this time he made a big fuss, thinking of himself as a crippled boy, he showed his admiration to the niece of Lord Zhizhou in public, what is the rhythm of not looking for death?

Recalling the strange gaze of Yue Lin on the stage at that time, Ye Yu was even more speechless for a while. It seems that he will never die if he does not die, but fortunately he will leave here tomorrow, and I hope this matter will be over.

At this time, She Dongcheng opened his mouth and smiled: "Miss Yueyun's words are only half said! This hairpin gift to a beautiful woman is also of far-reaching significance, and it is not much different from a love token. Big brother, your archery skills are really outstanding, others are shooting double eagles with one arrow, you are a silver hairpin and two beautiful! ”

As soon as the words of "......" fell, Ye Yu's expression was even more stunned and embarrassed. And Su Yueyun buried her head deep in her chest, and the red clouds were dense and shy.
