Chapter 40: Cher's Heart!

Xue'er walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Demon Sacrifice Heaven, in a trance. Suddenly, a cold wind hit people, and her body couldn't stop shivering, so cold!

I don't know if it's the sequelae of being taken away a while ago, but this gust of cold wind actually blew a severe cold. Piaoxue said that she had to go to the demon to tell her, but she was stopped by Xue'er, she thought that the demon must have a lot of complicated things in the past few days, and she couldn't help much, so don't make trouble for him. And Piaoxue still couldn't rest assured, when the two girls were deadlocked, Chunmei still played a round - if you obediently recuperate in the house and don't go to the snow mountain to worship the sky, we will also take good care of you, unlike the sect leader.

In the past three days, Xue'er was tightly wrapped in the house by Drifting Snow and Chunmei. She originally wanted to go out to see the sacrifice to the sky, but she also knew in her heart that this spring plum drifting snow was still afraid of the previous accident, so she used a plan to "coerce" her, so she had to give up.

Cher stayed quietly in the room, the candlelight in front of her flickering faintly. Xue'er was a spirit, and remembered the Kong Ming lantern she used to pray for her mother when she was still "alive"!

Why don't you use this Kong Ming lantern to send me acacia?

So she immediately got up and called Xiuya-

"Xiuya————! Hurry up and go to the market and buy some fine silk, thin and light. In addition, I went to the farmhouse to buy some bamboo grates for weaving bamboo baskets, as well as fish candles! The more the merrier, you take Chunmei and Piaoxue with you! Hurry up, hurry up, go now! ”

"But...... Sister... It's already the third watch..."

Xue'er was stunned when she heard this, as if she saw three helpless black lines on Xiuya's forehead......

"Ahaha...... Ha, that's good, that's... You're in early tomorrow! I'm in a hurry to use it! Go back to the house and rest! ”

Xue'er closed the door and leaned against the door and covered her chest, blaming herself for her words and deeds for her lack of menstruation and brains, and on the other hand, she was even more complacent at the thought of Kong Ming's lantern, and felt her heart pounding - even a little excited!

"I wonder how my big devil will react when he sees it? Will you be moved by the inner cow full of faces!? Ahaha! ”

She walked to the small table and immediately began to compose Kong Minglan on paper, fortunately, when she was a child, she let the housekeeper force her to learn Chinese painting for many years, and she was very good at this job. The structure of Kong Ming lantern can be divided into two parts: the main body and the support, and the main body is mostly made of bamboo grates. The outside is made of light silk woven into a lampshade, and the bottom bracket is still made of bamboo grates. Finally, tie a coarse cloth or gold paper stained with kerosene or peanut oil to the middle of the bracket at the bottom and you're done.

When the rooster crows on the fifth watch, a sketch of Kong Ming's lantern will be completely placed on the table.

"Knock knock......" When there was an urgent knock on the door, Cher was lying on the table and falling asleep.

"Sister, sister open the door, we have everything you want!"

"Hmm...... Well!? ”

Cher rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, and when she heard this, she jumped up and ran to open the door in two steps. I saw Xiuya Chunmei outside the door, carrying all the bamboo grate silk in her hands, and she was overjoyed and helped bring things into the house together.

"Sister, what do you want these things for? Do you want to tie a kite? ”

"No, what we're going to do is called a sky lantern! When I was a child, my grandfather told me that in the old days, there were bandits in my hometown, and because it was located in a mountainous area, the villagers fled to the mountains, and after the bandits left, the people who stayed in the village would use sky lanterns at night as a signal to inform the villagers who had taken refuge in the mountains that they could go down the mountain and go home, and also used this way to report safety to the villagers. Over time, the villagers celebrated with the ceremony of setting off sky lanterns and reported safety to the villagers in the neighboring villages. Therefore, the villagers also called the sky lantern 'blessing lantern', and I wanted to use this sky lantern to pray for the blessing of the sect leader. ”

The three of them sat down separately, and were just about to start lighting the lamp, when they suddenly remembered the noisy sound of firecrackers outside. Zhengxin muttered, and saw Piaoxue coming with dim sum tea: "Sisters, don't be busy with work, eat these refreshments first." ”

"Snow girl, what's the joy outside, you want to fire a cannon to celebrate?" Xue'er couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Hehe, but it's not for our sect leader's sacrifice to the sky? The people are spontaneously lighting firecrackers to help celebrate! ”

Xue'er suddenly looked solemn when she heard this, and put down the muffin cake that was brought to her mouth, "Come on, come on, hurry up and make the lamp, otherwise you won't be able to pray for the demon to put the lamp in time!" ”

Several little women gathered around the round table and lit up the lights overnight, busy all day, in the process, they listened to Chunmei gossip there, and they also knew the basic pattern of this world.

The place where I am located is a country called the Hua Dynasty, the Hua Dynasty has a vast area, the east is connected to the Qi country, the north is close to the Southern Liao, and the Shu River is across the mountain, and many other small countries are far or near. Just a few days ago, the 300,000 troops of Nanliao pressed the border, listening to Chunmei's meaning, these 300,000 troops did not look at the eyes of the emperor of the Hua Dynasty, they said, although the Huangpu thieves are more hateful, but when it comes to war, it is an invincible god of war.

Nanliao is just a barbarian land, and the people there are just barbarians.

However, Xue'er didn't see it that way, after all, this time Nanliao suffered a major snowstorm, countless livestock were frozen to death, some were buried by heavy snow, people couldn't eat, they launched this war, for them it was a battle of life and death, if the emperor of the Chinese Dynasty was too contemptuous, it would definitely bring quite serious consequences.

Presumably, this matter is as clear as magic, I don't know what choice he will make? Is it to defend the people or to fight for the country?

No matter what he chooses, he will always support him. Xue'er took the Kong Ming lantern in her hand and tied the written letter paper to it with a thread.

"Sister, I've seen enough! What kind of sky lantern are you talking about, we've been doing it for almost three days, and we can't put it in the house, let's rest! Chunmei pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Xue'er stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at the dozens of Kong Ming lanterns in the corner, and nodded lightly.

I also put down the prepared Kong Ming lantern and looked out the window, the stars in the sky twinkled and twinkled, like the gentle gaze of the devil.

"Big devil, I can't do anything for you, just use these ninety-nine Kong Ming lanterns to pray for you."

On the second day, the sky was clear, but it began to snow lightly.

In an unknown courtyard of the Lore Pavilion, there was no decoration, only a blue lake, but because of the cold weather, it was completely frozen. The demon who originally planned to sacrifice to the heavens was standing by this small lake at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and the cold air was pressing.

There was a light snow in the sky, and I don't know how long the demon had been standing here, but the snow that fell on him did not melt, but a thin layer was smeared on his black brocade robe, and fell on his thick black hair, which looked like a white-headed old man.

Yu Chen stood behind him, hesitating, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, but in the end there was no speech, his back looked so lonely, cold like an isolated cypress on a cliff. His heart is always tightly closed, he doesn't want anyone to go in, he endures everything in the dark by himself, and he doesn't let go completely even in the face of Cher.

"Yuchen, is the time?" The devil's voice was low, hoarse.

"Yes, Master."

Finally waited for many years to wait for the moment day and night, the devil's heart was a little bitter, sacrificing to the sky, symbolizing the imperial power of the Luoyun Kingdom, today he can finally tell them in front of the congregation, that the restoration of the country is no longer a distant dream, once the children of the Luoyun Kingdom will embark on the journey again, throwing their blood, but if you want to get some things, you must pay a price, the price of blood and life......
