Unknowingly, eight years have passed since Fu Shiyi went down the mountain.

It was also the first time she and her father had spent Chinese New Year's Eve together in eight years.

She took advantage of her father to lead the team out to practice the seven-star sword formation, and she began to get busy alone, since it was the New Year, the Spring Festival couplets were indispensable, but this had to be left to her father to write.

His father's calligraphy attainments are well-known in the clan.

She used a net bottle to ripen a few bamboos, and prepared some pen and ink and rice paper, planning to make a few paper lanterns to set off the atmosphere. When the paper lantern was in the ancient cliff dwelling, she learned from the third uncle.

The production method is not difficult, just three steps.

First, the bamboo branches or bamboo skins are built into a frame, and the connecting places are tied with thin wires to make a cylindrical skeleton; then the sprinkled gold rice paper is cut into the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and after pasting, in order to look good, the narrow strips of imitation silk paper are used to edge the top and bottom, which looks more elegant, very much like the ancient palace lantern.

Finish with a candle.

In less than half an hour, Fu Shiyi completed one.

"See how it goes. ”

Fu Shiyi pinched the trick with one hand, and there were words in his mouth, and then his fingertips popped, and a small flame burst out, Fu Shiyi pointed into the lantern, and the red light flashed, and the flame accurately fell on the candle in the lantern.

The candlelight is reflected from the openwork of the lantern.

Because she uses white rice paper as the lamp body, and the red rice paper is pasted inside, the pattern on the outer layer of rice paper looks more and more beautiful under the rendering of the red halo.

Wait for Sanniang to come back.

Dozens of red lanterns were hung on the ceiling of the cave. The lanterns are depicted with different patterns, which are beautiful under the reflection of the candlelight.

At first glance, I thought I had come to the lively Lantern Festival.

Sanniang was in a trance for a moment, and then a warmth surged in her heart, and she said to Fu Shiyi with a smile:

"Your father was worried that you would not be comfortable with the cold and lonely Chinese New Year outside, so he asked me to come back early to set up the decoration, but I don't want you to be dressed up, and they will be surprised when they come back. ”

Fu Shiyi grinned.

The two began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Fu Shiyi's sea knowledge space has a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables planted in the ancient cliff residence, she thought that her father had not eaten a good meal in the Southern Wilderness for six or seven years, so she thought about taking advantage of the New Year to make it a little richer.

She is in charge of the big dishes.

In addition to giving her a hand, Sanniang also prepared cold dishes and four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four kan fruits and four candied fruits.

It's been a busy day.

When Fu Zhihong led the team back to the cave, he saw dozens of delicacies on the red lanterns on the walls and four long tables put together, and he rarely showed a smile and laughed with everyone.

"Eight years have passed, and Eleven has grown into a big girl. ”

"Wow, bird's nest chicken soup, braised pork tendon with sea cucumber, shredded radish soup with fresh razor clams, simmered chicken with mushrooms, hammer with reel, simmered ham with fish maw........ There are even fake Jiang Yao, Shih Tzu milk, and chicken shoot porridge, Eleven, you are too capable. ”

The cave house celebrates the New Year happily.

Qi Liulin, which was less than five hundred kilometers away from here, suddenly became a commotion in the originally quiet forest, and those low-level demon beasts in the forest ran away as if a great enemy was coming.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew.

A bird about 30 feet long passed over the forest.

There were also two monks sitting on top of the birds, and their costumes looked very different from those of Yue Guo, and although the windproof shields were turned on their bodies, they looked haggard.

The two monks looked very young, even their eyebrows were gray, and the figure sitting on the bird was shaky, as if it was about to fall in the next second.

The two glanced at each other, and in the end, the old man in gray couldn't help it, gently patted the wings of the bird, and said respectfully:

"Ancestor, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, we have been rushing for nearly three years through storms and storms, and we are about to reach the destination you said, why don't we find a place to rest tonight?"

Birds have three-colored wings.

As if he hadn't heard the words of the old man in gray, the speed of his flight did not decrease but increased a few points.

The two old men were defenseless, their bodies were unstable, and they fell diagonally, and when they reached mid-air, they saw that they were in a hurry, and when they were about to land, a blue light flashed.

It turned out to be able to fly with a sword.

Obviously, the two of them were at least foundation-building monks.

The distant tricolor bird turned its head and let out a soft roar, and then the figure disappeared into the distance.

The old man in gray blinked, suddenly panicked, and looked at the old man in white on the side: "Big brother, what did the old ancestor say just now, his old man won't be really angry, right?"

The eldest brother shook his head, and the whole person relaxed: "Just now the old ancestor said that he went to the cave to inquire before, and he will come to pick us up tomorrow. Second brother, let's find a place to rest. ”

The two brothers quickly found a hiding place with the flying sword, and the flying sword fired a volley, and in a short time opened up a cave.

"Second brother, you set up a maze array in the cave mansion, I checked the file before I came, although this Yue country is a barren place, but ten thousand years ago it was a holy land for cultivating immortals, many talents are from here, although it is now declining, but just in case, it is better to be careful. ”

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he first took out the moonstone from the storage bag and inlaid it on the wall, and then with a shake of his sleeves, more than a dozen two-meter-long tiger skins were laid on the ground one after another, followed by a coffee table, a futon, and an incense burner...... After a while, the stone cave, which was originally bare and empty, turned into a luxurious palace in the blink of an eye.

When everything is laid out.

The second brother has also finished arranging the maze array, it took less than half an hour from the arrangement to the end, obviously a formation master, he took the fairy dew tea handed over by the eldest brother, tasted it, and involuntarily let out a comfortable nasal sound:

"Oops, I'm finally alive. Oops, my old bones. ”

The eldest brother's face also showed a relaxed look.

After a cup of tea.

The second brother, who came slowly, looked at the eldest brother who was leaning on the pure white beast chair, and said faintly excitedly:

"Big brother, you said that this ancestor we all thought he was dead, but I didn't want to return as a three-color vermilion bird, this time he traveled thousands of miles to transport you and me to the place where the bird doesn't in the Yue Kingdom, but what treasures did you find?"

"You elm head, if you really live more and more, if the ancestor really finds some great treasure, he can enjoy it alone, why bother to pull us thanklessly, do you think he is stupid?"

The second brother smiled innocently: "Big brother, the ancestor is naturally not stupid, but when he returned to the clan this time, he didn't look for anyone, but he chose our two brothers, why is this?"
