Chapter 170: Jia Shen
Night has risen, and the night of Chang'an City is prosperous. This is especially true today, when there is a lot of people, shoulder to shoulder, and passers-by with lanterns can be seen everywhere.
The ice lanterns made of them lined up in a long dragon lantern array on the Yellow Sky Road, and when viewed from a distance, they were crystal clear and beautiful.
At night, it is the home of the Longmen Lantern Array.
The front of the Jiashen is especially crowded with pedestrians.
"I heard that this Jiashen's ice lantern array can eat people!"
"Nonsense, how can there be ice lamps that eat people."
"Didn't you say that if you go in, you won't be able to get out?"
"Isn't this the lantern that went in?"
……
Curiosity and questioning are endless.
The little servant waited anxiously outside, and everyone looked at the ice lantern array that was blocked by the ice wall, revealing only a little spire. Suddenly, I saw that the spire was full of brilliance, and even through the ice wall, I could vaguely see the five colors in it.
There was a sound of footsteps, and several men and women in gorgeous brocade robes walked out, probably staying in it for a long time, a little cold, all wrapped in robes tightly, but there was excitement on their faces.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" The men and women said as they handed the marked bamboo sticks in their hands to the girl in the thick jacket waiting on the side, "This lantern array should be the lamp leader." ”
"Haven't you seen it below?" Someone was unconvinced, "There may be a better one ahead." ”
"The light array of others is good at form, but this light array is good at God." The man and woman shook their heads, "This should be the lamp." ”
"What's in there?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I have seen the prosperity of the four seas and the prosperity of Chang'an." A man said, his eyes were shining, and there was obviously a little unquenched excitement, "It's a pity that it's too cold inside." ”
"If you want to see it, buy bamboo sticks by yourself, let's go here, this is the Jiashen number, and we want to run for the lamp leader of this year's Longmen Lantern Array." A maid's voice shouted crisply, "If you think it's good, you can put the bamboo stick on the Jiashen number." ”
"Then I'm going to try it, and I want to see what this is? What is Chang'an? Someone laughed.
"Try it, try it!" The maid's voice was delicate and refreshing, "If you think it's good, vote for our Jiashen number, and if you think it's bad, vote for another place." ”
"We went in? Didn't I hear that there would be cannibalism inside, so I couldn't get out! ”
"There's my young lady here! My young lady can take you out. The maid said.
Only then did everyone notice that there was a girl standing next to her with a double bun and a thick jacket, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, but she looked very good.
"Let this little girl take us?"
"Don't worry!" The maid grinned and led the person in.
Everyone originally wanted to follow up, but there were too many people, so they could only wait for the next wave, and from time to time they could hear the boos and exclamations outside, and everyone was even more curious. The lights inside seemed to be alive, and the flow of lights could be seen outside it.
After a while, a pile of thick bamboo skewers accumulated on the jujube cake's hands. Wei Tongyuan smiled and counted the bamboo skewers on the side and smiled.
"Let's go too!" Cui Yan couldn't hold it back for a long time, and looked at the ice lantern array with blank eyes. There, Wen Zhu had already bought bamboo sticks and handed them over to everyone.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people now." Cui Cong patted him on the shoulder, "Wait for fewer people before you pass." ”
They obviously didn't want to walk in a hurry, now that there were many people, Wei Yaoqing, who led the way, also walked fast, but they brought people out in a moment, but even so, there were more and more bamboo sticks in their hands.
"The nineth-rate Seiko skills, specializing in one but can also be amazing." Someone said and walked over.
Seeing that it was Cui Yuandao, Wang Hanzhi and Xie Jiao, everyone hurriedly saluted.
"Grandfather, have you been there?" Wang Xu asked.
Wang Hanzhi nodded, and glanced at the direction of the Longmen Lantern Array Jiashen: "If you have a very powerful organ attainment, you will not be bad if you meet Qimen Dunjia again." ”
Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, he said the key to the Longmen Lantern Array.
"The rest is the whimsy of the arranger, and the mind is clever, and today's lamp should be won by the Jiashen."
Xie Jiao touched the long beard on his chin: "It's a good hand at making a secret room, the second of the Wei family." ”
The nobles of the clan may look down on the ninth-rate commoners, but they also have to admit that there are many times when such craftsmen are needed.
Fortunately, Wei Yaoqing was wearing thick clothes, and it was not cold to walk around in the ice lantern array, and the Li family and Wei Yaoyu couldn't eat it and left first. It's almost the same thing to see today, and only the Longmen Lantern Array remains.
The bean paste beside Wei Tongyuan came back from a run, and he came back excitedly to report: "The little one went to take a look, we have the most bamboo sticks!" ”
"It's over in half an hour." Wei Yaoqing said, "Jujube cake, you can prepare and tidy up the bamboo skewers." ”
"Hmm." Compared to the pedestrians who waited in line earlier, there are not many people now, and it is a little late, many of them have already returned home, and there are not as many pedestrians as before.
"We're here, and seeing that there aren't many people now, we specially chose this time to come." Before everyone in the group arrived, Cui Yan's voice arrived first, and after coming over, the first thing was to return the golden dice that had been playing for a day to Wei Liu, and then held the bamboo skewer and pointed to the Longmen Ice Lantern Array excitedly, "Take us in!" ”
In addition to the Cui family brothers, there is also Wang Xu who follows Cui Jing everywhere, Wei Yaoqing glanced at the two of them, this relationship is too good, ready to lead the way.
"This is the Jiashen!" There were five or six middle-aged men here, and the clothes were not too conspicuous, but the fabric was not bad if you looked closely.
"Who are you?" The crowd looked.
Pinching the bamboo sticks in his hand, the five or six middle-aged men followed: "Please lead the way!" ”
"Come with me." Glancing at the middle-aged men, Wei Yaoqing raised her eyebrows slightly, an unexpected gain!
Walking into the Longmen Ice Lantern Array, the gears are interlocked, and the lights and shadows are staggered and rotated.
Looking at this flickering light and shadow, it was obvious that everyone had noticed a bit of novelty.
"There are still organs?" Cui Yan was surprised, the ice wall slid open, the gears interlocked and rotated, and the ice lamp carried a colorful light, which was a dyed lampshade, with colorful colors.
The middle-aged men seemed to be very interested in the intersecting mechanism, and whispered for a long time.
"Eh, Lao Dong, look at this."
"Well, I'm watching!"
……
Wei Yaoqing turned her handle, deliberately showing off her skills.
Intentional show-off skills can indeed attract attention, but it is easy to make the expert feel disgusted, but she has her own way to take it back.
Seeing that the tower in the middle is already close at hand.
The faces of the people were not obvious. It is true that the thought of using mechanisms in this Longmen Ice Lantern Array is indeed a novelty, and the opening and closing of those mechanisms is also very good. But in this case, it seems difficult to make the people who have come in before to see look incredulous.
"What sound?" Someone suddenly wondered, "Did you hear that?" ”
There was a shaking under his feet, although it was not violent, but it also made people change their faces instantly.
