Chapter 513: Lighting the Sky Lantern

"What Uncle Mei said is that since we believe in the magic weapons of this Taoist temple, we still have to follow their arrangement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Zhuo Yifan listened and followed.

In this way, after Steward Mei brought the magic weapons back, he ordered people to build two thick oil lamp posts at the gate of Zhuojian Villa, and placed the two magic weapons on the top.

The oil lamppost looked like a man's long legs, very thick, and the outside was painted with black material, and there was an indescribable sense of mystery.

After that, Steward Mei asked people to put the invited magic weapon on it, and when they wanted to take it out, everyone was still excited, wanting to see what kind of treasure it was, it was so mysterious.

But as soon as they took it out, they frightened the crowd, because on the oil lamppost were two skulls, which looked the same size as a real person.

It's just that the two skulls have been specially treated and turned into containers for lamp oil, with a long wick on top that extends deep into the oil lamp post.

At the top of the oil lamp post, there is a mechanism that can be pulled apart, from which the lamp oil can be added, and the height of the lamp oil can be added to the middle of the column, and the thick wick on it can continue to absorb oil.

"Uncle Mei, why did you invite this magic weapon, it looks quite scary?" Zhuo Yifan looked at the skull and frowned.

"That's what I said at the time, but the viewer of the Conjuring Soul View said that it was because we had encountered such a bloody slaughter in the villa that we needed to use this way to ward off evil spirits and remove charms, so that it would be more effective. For those who are innocently killed, they are more familiar with the skull, more affectionate, and much less resentful, and will regard the mountain as a place of protection rather than a place of unjust death. Steward Mei replied.

Hearing these words, Zhuo Yi seemed a little weak-hearted, he looked around the two skulls and looked at them, and he still felt very crazy in his heart.

He found that the two skulls seemed to be looking at him in a daze, as if they had something to say, and if they looked closely, they seemed to be very majestic, and they had a taste of admonishment and reprimand to themselves.

Zhuo Yi's heart couldn't help but beat faster, he suspected that this magic weapon was really evil and mysterious, making it difficult to see.

"Yi'er, you don't have to be so afraid, since it is a magic weapon, it has its mystery. If it can be understood by ordinary people, then its mana is definitely not high. Seeing Zhuo Yi feeling uncomfortable, Steward Mei enlightened him.

After hearing this, Zhuo Yi nodded in agreement.

"Everyone felt terrible at first sight, but after watching it for a long time, they didn't feel that way anymore. The Conjuring Soul Contemplator said that this would bring good luck to our Zhuojian Villa, and all the evil qi would be shaken. Steward Mei comforted everyone.

"Since this is the case, everyone should bear with it first, and when you get used to it, you will be able to accept it in your heart. Zhuo Yifan followed.

"Not only that, as the only remaining descendants of Zhuo Jian Villa, if the two young masters are in the village, they will add lamp oil to it every night, and only then will it work. Also, don't call them skulls in the future, it sounds quite terrifying, and the conjuring viewer said that they are called sky lanterns. Steward Mei continued.

"Sky lanterns sound good, much better than skulls. Wu An said.

"yes, yes, the sky lantern sounds ......very pleasant," the other apprentices chimed in.

Zhuo Yi and Zhuo Yifan climbed onto the ladder in person, and then added two barrels of lamp oil to it. Leaking down the circular hole in the center of the top of the skull.

In a few moments, two barrels of oil were emptied.

"This lamp oil column is quite capable of holding oil. Zhuo Yi said.

"Don't look at them to hold oil, because the wick is very large, the oil is relatively fast, and the lamp oil needs to be added every day. Steward Mei replied.

"Young master, slow down, your injuries haven't healed yet!" Wu An said to Zhuo Yifan.

"It's okay, although there is still a faint pain, but this lantern still has to be lit personally, hoping to bring good luck to Zhuo Jian Villa and remove bad luck. Zhuo Yifan said.

After hearing this, Zhuo Yi nodded, "Yifan, if the two of us are in the village in the future, the two of us will personally light the sky lantern, so as to comfort our parents' spirits in the sky and bless us Zhuojian Villa to prosper." ā€

After hearing this, the frightened expressions of the crowd weakened a lot.

Night slowly fell, and Zhuo Jian Villa was enveloped in a thick black curtain.

Zhuo Yifan and Zhuo Yi climbed the ladder again, holding torches in their hands, and lit the two sky lanterns.

Due to the thick wick, the two sky lights are very bright at night.

"Wow, the skull is so bright!" exclaimed one of the apprentices.

"Don't you say that? stop calling skulls, call them sky lanterns. Aren't you scared of the big night, called a skull?" Steward Mei reminded.

"Oh, got it. The skull sounds pretty crazy, or the sky lantern makes people's hearts bright. The apprentice replied.

After the two skulls were ignited, looking at them from the outside of Zhuo Jian Villa, they found that the two heads were shining brightly, which was very eye-catching.

Because it was so bright, the oil lamps under the eaves of the other shops around it were extremely dim in comparison, so that the surroundings were even darker. Therefore, the two sky lanterns have become a unique scenery in Liangcheng, and people come to stop and watch every night.

I don't know if the sky lantern of the conjuring spirit is really effective, or if it is a psychological effect, since the sky lantern was lit by Zhuo Yi and Zhuo Yifan every night, everyone in Zhuo Jian Villa feels a lot more down-to-earth. Looking at the constantly beating flames, it was like seeing immortals, as if they could show themselves the way and exorcise evil spirits for Zhuo Jian Villa.

"This lantern is really effective, since the two young masters lit them, I feel a lot more stable these days. A family member said.

"Who's to say it's not, I used to walk alone in the dark-lit yard at night, and I always felt someone following me, and my hair stood on end in fright. But these days, there is no such feeling at all. Another family member followed.

"yes, yes, I feel that way too, looking at the sky lantern as if it were daytime. Others chimed in.

Listening to their words, Zhuo Yifan felt as if this was indeed the case. So he often stared out alone, at the spiritual sky lantern, to find out what was going on with it.

Although Zhuo Song believed in these divination and fortune-telling things before his death, Zhuo Yifan did not believe it in his heart, he thought that it was just a sustenance for people to seek psychological comfort, and it was largely a hint of self.

After all, there are many things that are difficult to explain with general understanding, so there are some gray and obscure areas, and various mysterious magic weapons have come into being to fill this gap.

When he encountered this kind of thing before, he always liked to question it and even take a mocking attitude, but after being reprimanded several times by his father Zhuo Song, he had to treat it as a normal thing and didn't dare to doubt it in person.
