Chapter 188: Lantern Festival
Taking advantage of the fact that the young master of the Chamber of Commerce and the heirs of the Fang Shi family were there, Jiang Bai took out the immortal family books he had obtained on top of the clouds.
The back of the crane is quite large, and the slender neck blocks the hurricane generated when flying at high speed for everyone, even so, Jiang Bai didn't take more, only took out a few copies, so as not to be blown away by the wind.
"Hall Master, see if these books have any value." Jiang Bai stuffed one of them to Hu Tao, and the other two to Xingqiu and Chongyun respectively, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
"I'll take a look at it for me."
"Where did you get that?" Hu Tao looked at the cover, the cover of this book was quite quaint, the paper had been yellowed, obviously an old thing from a long time ago.
"Above the clouds."
Chongyun took the ancient book handed over by Jiang Bai, looked at it briefly, and suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, "This seems to be the oldest method of exorcism in my family." ”
Old?
Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, doesn't ancient mean very valuable!
But listening to Chongyun continued: "The methods of exorcism used in our family now are all based on this as an improved version, which is improved by generations of talented and intelligent ancestors in combination with our human physical fitness and the current environment, which is more suitable for our human use, and it is also much simplified in rituals, and it is also gentler ......."
"Doesn't that mean it's worthless?" Jiang Bai felt that he was happy in vain.
"How so?" Chongyun asked rhetorically, "Why is it worthless?" ”
"Although we are using an improved version now, it does not mean that the ancient method of exorcism is not needed, and this ancient and rough method of exorcism is more suitable when dealing with some stubborn and difficult to get rid of evil spirits."
Jiang Bai is not a priest and does not know how to exorcise evil spirits, although he has listened to the lectures of the guests in the Hall of the Dead and understands some of them.
Moreover, the main business of the Afterlife Hall is funeral rites, and I understand these because I have been with the dead for a long time, and it is easy to encounter these.
"If I want to sell it, will you buy it?"
Jiang Bai's words obviously stopped Chongyun.
He shook his head and said very Versailles: "I have it at home." ”
In ancient times, the environment was not as good as it is now, when evil spirits were rampant, epidemics were rampant, and there were all kinds of dangerous monsters in the mountains.
Jiang Bai's theses are only very attractive to ordinary people, but for them, an ancient family of Fangshi and a family of demon slayers, they have always preserved these ancient classics, and even carefully protected them, so there is really no need to go outside to buy the same.
Jiang Bai's imaginary Seven Stars raised the price, and the picture of the Demon Exterminator's crazy robbery was shattered.
Liyue has been around for 3,600 years, and these families who have been guarding Liyue are so profound that it is not possible to find a few ancient books in the mountains, and what treasures they have obtained can compare to their thousands of years of accumulation.
"Are you going to sell these books? Do you want to hand it over to our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, we guarantee that we can sell it at a good price! "Xingqiu is very interested.
Compared with the demon slaying family, what the Chamber of Commerce lacks most is the heritage, but the most lacking is Mora, and I think many big businessmen will be interested in these ancient books.
Hu Tao closed the book in his hand, "Go back and print a copy of all the books, and then send the original for sale." ”
There is never too much knowledge, books are just a carrier of knowledge, and there is no need to collect the originals, these original books are too old and complicated to collect.
It is better to sell the original and label it with a label like "written by the immortals themselves" and "thousand-year-old books" to maximize the benefits.
Hu Tao and Jiang Bai thought together, and he thought the same way.
"Listen to the hall master."
"There will be an auction in the Chamber of Commerce after a while, and I will help you arrange these ancient books to ensure that they are sold at a good price!"
Jiang Bai grabbed Xingqiu's shoulders and said with a serious face:
"Whether or not I can become a rich man in Liyue is up to you!"
The corners of Xingqiu's mouth twitched, and he wanted to become a rich man in Liyue with a few ancient books, but he was too eager to open his mind.
"I'll try my best, but you can't rely on my ...... for auction fees."
"Don't worry, I never pay my bills!"
......
In the darkness of the night, the crane flies back to Liyue Harbor, and Jiang Bai and Hu Tao leap down from the sky above the Afterlife Hall and fly back to the Afterlife Hall.
Hu Tao carried the vegetables heated with the fire element to Zhongli and bragged to Zhongli, and Jiang Bai watered his freshly cultivated sweet cauliflower garden, and lay on the roof to watch the stars.
The moon and stars are scarce, the breeze is blowing, this kind of life is really comfortable.
Peaceful life always passes quickly, so fast that Jiang Bai can't feel the passage of time.
He couldn't do more than a few missions a year, so he followed Hu Tao everywhere every day, and basically walked through the big and small corners of Liyue Harbor and the entire territory of Liyue.
From driving away ghosts and evil spirits in vain, to arguing with wild cats basking in the sun on the street, time flies, and before you know it, the Lantern Festival has arrived.
The Lantern Festival is Liyue's biggest festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, people put lanterns and lanterns in the sky, believing that the spirits of the heroes who guarded Liyue in the past will return to their hometowns and reunite with everyone under the guidance of the lanterns.
Ten thousand bright lamps symbolize the wish to pass on the torch and the virtue to be extinguished.
On this day, Hu Tao got up quite early and knocked on Jiang Bai's door early in the morning.
She was dressed in a new red dress, carrying two bamboos that she had cut out of nowhere, and she hadn't even removed the bamboo leaves.
"Get up! The sun is on the butt! ”
Jiang Bai, who was sleeping in the bed, was woken up, he rubbed his eyes and opened the window, how can there be the sun, the sun has not come out yet.
Looking at Hu Tao who suddenly appeared in the window, Jiang Bai was no longer surprised.
He yawned heavily, "Morning, hall master~"
"Wake up, you can't waste your time sleeping!"
"Hall Master, how do you learn to speak in Chongyun?"
Chongyun, that practice maniac, is practicing all the time.
"Oh, wash up! The master of the hall is waiting for you to make the lantern! The main purpose of this hall is to make the largest sky lantern in Liyue Harbor! ”
In addition to the significance of commemorating the heroic soul, today's Xiao Lantern has also been given more meaning.
People make good wishes and fly with the lanterns.
"Good~"
Jiang Bai changed into a new dress and came to the courtyard, and Hu Tao had already laid out the drawings of the Xiao Lantern on the grass in the courtyard.
Just like Hu Tao said, the sky lantern she wanted to make was quite big, so big that Jiang Bai was worried about whether it could fly.
"Because I considered that the bigger the heavier, the heavier, so I went to Zhongli's yard and secretly cut two thin bamboos and supported the entire frame with lighter bamboo strips......"

Glancing at the corner of the dragon-patterned clothes behind Hu Tao, Jiang Bai carefully reminded, "Hall Master, be careful of being beaten." ”
