Hu Tao crossed his waist and didn't care, "The hall master is the hall master, what's wrong with cutting him two bamboos!" ”

"Hall Master."

Zhongli's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Hu Tao froze.

She stood up with a smile on her face, without the slightest embarrassment of being caught doing something bad.

"It's Keqing, why did Keqing get up so early?"

"When I heard the sound of chopping bamboo, I got up to take a look, but I didn't want to be the hall master." Zhongli's gaze fell on the two fresh bamboos on the ground, "The hall master wants my bamboo, and Keqing doesn't dare to refuse." ”

"But hall master, I want to go and buy something."

"This..."Hu Tao's eyes wandered, and finally fell on Jiang Bai.

Let Zhong Li go to purchase, that means she will have a heavy hemorrhage today, but she was caught first, and there are other ways for Zhong Li not to buy it to make her ruined.

She threw the money bag to Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai! The important task of accompanying Mr. Zhongli to the procurement is entrusted to you! If you have a limited budget, don't overdo it. ”

Jiang Bai weighed the money in the money bag, and then compared Zhongli's purchasing power, feeling that this "procurement" trip was in a panic.

"Alright, you guys go shopping! I'm going to make the lanterns! Hu Tao carried two bamboos and ran away with a puff of smoke in his arms, leaving only the fallen leaves in the air.

Jiang Bai followed Zhongli out of the door of the Hall of the Dead, and today's Liyue Harbor was quite lively, with lanterns hanging in front of every house, colorful silk hanging over the streets, and even the cats and dogs lying on the side of the road basking in the sun were bathed and clean.

Passers-by also changed into new clothes and congratulated each other on the Happy Lantern Festival.

"It's so hilarious." Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"This should be your first Lantern Festival." Zhongli walked among the festive crowd with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Yes."

"Liyue's Lantern Festival has a long history and many customs, so you don't need to go shopping with me, I don't buy anything, just go play."

"Huh?"

Jiang Bai was already prepared to guard against it, and he would definitely not let Zhongli spend a penny more, but he suddenly didn't buy it?

"Go play, by the way, Mora give it to me."

Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment, but still handed him the Mora given by Hu Tao.

This Mora was originally given to Zhongli by Hu Tao, and there is so much to it, and it is the same for him.

"What about you, Mr. Zhongli?"

"I'm going to see an old friend and bring something along the way."

Zhongli took a look at Mora in his purse, and the number should be enough to buy a pair of [Lian Li Zhen Xinsan].

"Happy Lantern Festival." Zhongli congratulated.

"Happy Lantern Festival!" Jiang Bai waved his hand and watched him walk into the crowd.

There was no need to accompany Zhongli to purchase, Jiang Bai was wandering around the city alone, and many people greeted him, and he responded one by one.

After buying two sugar people, Jiang Bai bent back to the Afterlife Hall.

Licking the candy man, he walked into the courtyard of Hu Tao, "Hall Master, are you done with the lantern?" ”

"How can it be so fast!"

Hu Tao looked up from a pile of bamboo and rice paper, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Mr. Zhongli said that he didn't need me to accompany him, and asked me to give Mora to him, and then I came back."

Jiang Bai handed her the candy man who was specially made to look like a little ghost, "The hall master eats sugar." ”

"I knew he was deliberately slandering my Mora!" Hu Tao bites the sugar man Kaka in one bite, and thinks the sugar man is some kind of spend-spending guy.

100,000 Morayas! That's enough bamboo for her to buy!

"I don't care, I'm going to cut a few more!"

After a while, Hu Tao came back with a bunch of things, in addition to bamboo, there were fine inkstones, excellent pine smoke ink, one or two thousand gold cinnabar pigments, and several brushes of different thicknesses that were very expensive at a glance.

Hu Tao happily put these things aside, and began to build a frame structure with Jiang Bai according to the drawings, and then put a layer of lamp paper on the lake after the frame was built.

Hu Tao lifted the pen, sketched a beautiful red plum on it, and then stuffed it into the large floating stone chips.

Until the middle of the day, after several processes, this half-human-high giant sky lantern was finally completed!

Looking at this Xiao lantern, Jiang Bai applauded and congratulated, "It is worthy of being the hall master, and he is ingenious!" ”

"Put it first, let's put it together when it gets dark, it is guaranteed to be the brightest light in the night sky!"

In addition to the lanterns, the Lantern Festival also sacrifices heroes and martyrs.

Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to clean the ancestral hall inside and out, put incense on it, and put new tributes on it.

In the evening, after the sun set, Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to carry the oversized Xiao Lantern he made to Wanmin Hall, and looked at Xiangling with satisfaction and showed a shocked gaze.

"Wow! What a big night light! ”

Xiangling ran to the room and took out her Xiao lantern, "Look at the pot Xiao Lantern I made!" ”

Xiangling's Xiao Lantern has ears on the basis of Yuanyou, and the face of the pot is painted, which looks very cute.

"Not bad!"

"Let's go, let's find a wide place to go to Xiaolan together." The two held hands and jumped towards the dock, Jiang Bai and Guoba followed behind them with a Xiao lantern.

There were people coming and going on the dock, and everyone was holding the lantern, just waiting for the sky to get a little darker and let the lantern in their hands rise into the air together with the huge night lantern.

The lantern festival, which is a vendor of various snacks, does not forget to do business, and the aroma of the food is mouth-watering.

The sky was a little dark, but the lights of Liyue were a little brighter than the stars in the sky.

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai grabbed the corner of the lantern alone, lest the lantern fly away before it was released.

A huge lantern rose into the sky, and the immortals depicted on it seemed to come to life, flying in the air, drawing a beautiful arc of light.

These are the immortals who sacrificed for Liyue, and there are too many such ancestors.

People raised the lantern in their hands one after another, let go of their hands, and let the lantern in their hands slowly rise into the air.

Warm yellow firelight flickered in the lamps, carrying hopes for a better year ahead, floating in the sky above Liyue Harbor.

Hu Tao closed his eyes and spoke softly, making good wishes.

"May the Afterlife Hall get better and better!"

"Hope to learn more recipes next year!"

"Lulu~"

Jiang Bai may make a wish, "May life get better and better." ”

The big lantern in his hand slowly rose into the sky, like a huge star rising from the sea.

A child next to him pointed to the big sky lantern and exclaimed, "Mom, what a big sky light!" ”

"Next year we'll make a big one too!"

At Wangshu Inn, Zhongli and Xiao stood on the roof of the inn, watching the guests of the inn release the flying lights.

Zhongli asked the person next to him, "Are you okay?" ”

Xiao bowed his head and looked respectful, "Thank you for the Emperor for sending Lian Lizhen's heart, it's much better." ”

"On the last day of the year, let's put on a lantern." Zhongli took out a lantern and handed it to Xiao.

Xiao was stunned for a moment, took the Xiao Lantern, and released the bright light in his hand.

Filled with good wishes, the sky is filled with lights.
