In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

No matter how simple the dress is, it can't hide the elegant and noble temperament.

As a civil servant, he recognized Ke Qing at a glance, and hurried over to say hello: "Yuheng... this lady, good evening."

Almost saying that she leaked her identity, Ke Qing hurriedly winked, and finally stopped the possible bad situation.

The name of this civil servant is "Jing Ming" and he is the "person in charge of Xiaodeng".

This stall supplies materials for making lanterns for free. Many people come here when they have nothing to do to make lanterns with their own hearts.

Jingming is a smart person, and he has also heard the rumor that Yuheng Xing Keqing often goes shopping in disguise.

Immediately understood the meaning, he changed his words and said: "Here is responsible for the production of Xiaodeng, do you want to try it? All materials are free to use."

Ke Qing nodded: "I want to make a sky lantern and give it to my friend, please prepare the materials."

Lord Yuheng's orders were not handled in a hurry.

It's just that I can't help but mutter in my heart: what is the origin of this man?To actually go shopping with two beauties... The sky lantern made by Mrs. Keqing is not going to be given to him, is it?

There are two basic styles of sky lanterns, which can be easily switched back and forth.

One is to place floating stones and float them into the air.

One is to pick it up with a bamboo stick and hold it in your hand.

You will see many people visiting the night market with lanterns in their hands, and these lanterns will be put on a buoyant stone on the night of the Lantern Festival and released together with the "Mingxiao Lantern".

Corduroy material, lamp paper fiber, bamboo and wood lamp stand.

Keqing made portable lanterns.

Her technique is very skillful, and after about ten minutes of modeling, she presented a delicate sky lantern.

Keqing lit up the sky lantern and sent it to Mona and Xia Tian, with a very charming smile: "For you, I hope you can be together forever and happily."

Through the lamp paper, the red light shines on the red face.

Chapter 410 I hit the lottery!

With long black hair, a cute dress, and a sky lantern, she is only a pair of sandals away from the summer night festival girl in the comics.

The shiny eyeballs rolled back and forth, wondering what the hell Mona had planned again.

She took two steps forward, looked at the crowd who were still making lanterns, and asked curiously: "How do you make lanterns? Your movements are so fast, I didn't even see them clearly!"

The flickering eyes are full of desire to learn.

Keqing is happy to teach: "Well, I won't be able to explain the weaving method for a while, but if you want to learn, I can teach you..."

"Learn and learn!" Mona held up her right arm: "Come and join me in Xia Tian."

"Eh? Me?" Xia Tian knew his level well, and didn't want to make a fool of himself: "I'll let it go! This kind of manual work, I'm equivalent to a disability."

It's a pity that the considerate Mona has long since disappeared, replaced by... the willful and unreasonable Mona.

"Let's go together! We've already participated in the Sea Lantern Festival, so how can we do it if we don't make lanterns?" She pulled Xia Tian, insisting on being together.

"Try it, it's very simple!" Ke Qing also lobbied: "If you say it, you can definitely make the best sky lantern..."

However, I can only join.

With the development of society, there are more and more connections between the seven countries of Tevat, and too many cultural invasions are causing Liyue's own traditions to be lost.

Only the preparation of Xiaodeng has lost many types.

After Ningguang became the Seven Stars, a series of plans were made for the two major festivals, the Sea Lantern Festival and the Moon Festival.

After years of operation, the tradition has gradually returned and attracted a large number of foreign tourists.

They came to participate in the celebration, appreciate Liyue's cultural customs, learn how to make lanterns, and learn to appreciate the autumn moon.

The two materials were ready, and Keqing patiently guided:

"First set up the frame of the lantern. They are all designed bamboo poles, which are very easy to splice..."

"Pay attention to the base, there must be a place to place the buoyant stone, the wick can be put in from above later..."

"The thin paper should be smoothed, and there must be no wrinkles, so that it looks good, and it is also convenient for subsequent pictures and lyrics..."

Step by step, very meticulous, is a rare good teacher.

The first try, of course, is the simplest style.

Mona is not very handy, but with the guidance of such a good teacher, it is easy to make it.

"it is done……"

Looking at the lantern she made by herself, she felt a sense of accomplishment on her face.

Waiting to look at the same class at the same table, the smile disappeared instantly.

The lantern itself is round, but it has been made into a rhombus...the rhombus is fine, and it is not regular at all, as if it has been squeezed.

"...What are you doing? The Formless Lamp?"

It was so funny and angry.

Qi Xia's Xiao Deng is too ugly to give away at all.

It turns out that Xia Tian was so stupid that he couldn't even make a sky lantern well.

"I can't even say it." Xia Tian was also helpless.

I don't know why, but I just can't do it. Holding a bamboo stick with two hands is more difficult than holding an embroidery needle.

Keqing also wanted to laugh, but her strong self-control allowed her to remain polite: "Everyone is getting proficient slowly, and it's quite remarkable if you can complete it for the first time."

She stretched out her hand, and made some minor revisions at key points, barely restoring the lantern made by Xia Tian to its normal appearance.

Although it is far from good-looking, at least it is not the kind that will be disgusted... Maybe, anyway, Xia Tian himself is quite disgusted.

The atmosphere of hand-to-hand teaching was good, and Mona kept winking.

Xia Tian understands what she means.

Since I received Keqing's lantern as a gift, I should return one.

But the deformed product in his hand is really too ugly.

He frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Mona glared, and had no choice but to come in person and send out the lantern she made: "Keqing, this lantern is for you, I hope you can bravely pursue happiness."

It is not "hope to find", but "to pursue bravely". I wonder if friends can understand the difference between the lines?

Keqing hesitated for a moment before accepting this gift: "Thank you."

So, three people, three lamps, three thoughts.

There are lights, but how can a sky lantern that cannot fly be considered a real sky lantern?

Although it is said that it will not be released until the night of the Sea Lantern Festival, it must be prepared first, and it cannot be caught blind when the time comes.

Mona shook the lantern and asked, "Then, how do we fly?"

The well-known problem, of course, needs pumice stones, so the place for pumice stones is specially reserved on the base.

"There are floating stones here..." Ke Qing pointed to the side, there was a shelf like a wall covered with small floating stones.

The materials are all free, Mona remembers.

Immediately reached out to take it, but was stopped by Keqing: "If you want to get the floating stone here, you have to play a small game first."

"Small games?" Xia Tian and Mona were curious together, but they didn't see any equipment for playing in the booth.

Keqing used this to tell another story about the floating stone and Xiaodeng: "People write their wishes on the floating stones, and the Xiaodeng can fly into the sky with their wishes... In order to make the wishes blessed by luck, it is necessary to go through a lottery. Come to get the floating stone."

Head-scratching words emerged.

Another lottery... Finding the Dongtian Immortal Mansion is a lottery, and getting a floating stone is also a lottery.

Is Liyue a casino?

If you're lucky, you can get one.

If you are unlucky, doesn't it mean that your wishes are not worthy of heaven at all?

Seeming to see what Xia Tian was thinking, Ke Qing explained: "Don't worry, since it's just a small game, I won't embarrass everyone... [-]% can be drawn, at most there is a slight difference."

"The difference?" Xia Tian understood: "Is the floating stone also divided into grades?"

"Hmm..." Ke Qing nodded, expressing her affirmation: "Although the buoyant stones used for Xiaodeng are all small pieces smashed from complete stones, they are almost the same size, but they are different in shape, weight, and quality."

Another new knowledge, Mona and Xia Tian listened carefully.

Some people are willing to listen to Li Yue's story, Ke Qing is very happy, and can't help but tell it in detail.

"For example, different shapes will bring different meanings. Similar to a round buoyant stone, it represents stability and is suitable for engraving the desire to seek peace..."

"And the size of the weight will affect the strength of the buoyancy, and the quality will represent the duration of the buoyancy..."

"If you want to fly high and get a better meaning, you should choose a pumice stone with good quality and light weight..."

Unexpectedly, a small piece of buoyant stone would have so many ways.

While secretly sighing, Ke Qing told the truth unabashedly: "Actually, the difference is very small, they are all complete buoyant stones that were smashed randomly, and making so many gimmicks is more of a commercial demand, in order to sell at a high price... some The price of special-shaped buoyant stones almost catches up with the daily income of shops."

Speaking such explicit words even attracted the cold eyes of many passing businessmen.

Fortunately, his back was facing the street, otherwise Yu Hengxing's identity might be discovered.

Mona was puzzled again: "Since they are all about the same, and they are all free, why is there a lottery?"

Xia Tian gave an answer instead: "It's for the sake of winning! If you can draw the shape you like, won't you be happy for a long time? Naturally, I look forward to the day when the sky lanterns are released... And, if I'm not wrong, no matter what What kind of quality do you get, they will definitely tell you that it is a top-grade floating stone, and they will say that this year’s wish will definitely come true.”

"Hehe." Ke Qing smiled: "It's really like what you said, back then I was opposed to falsification..."

This is a small step back from principle, but it can make most of the people in Liyue happy, and Keqing thinks it is worth it.

Then, he shook his finger again, and added mysteriously: "It's not all deceitful... Although I am not responsible, I heard that there is really a "super prize". The prize is a rare stone that can't be bought outside the price increase. . "

Free lanterns can be made at will, but free floating stones can only be drawn once.

There is a saying that those who can draw the grand prize will be accompanied by a year of luck.

"Then how do we smoke?" Mona got excited.

Those who consider themselves to be the family of fate, of course have to prove it.

Ke Qing led the two of them to "Jing Ming, the person in charge of the Xiao Lantern", beside him was a super wide cylinder filled with densely packed bamboo sticks.

What a lottery!It's like asking for a lottery in a temple.

Jing Ming didn't miss any chance to please Yu Hengxing, and immediately catered to him and asked, "Are you going to draw floating stones? It just so happens that there are not many lucky ones today, and all the prizes are here!"

I don't know if the truth is true or not. It is very likely that the so-called "Super Grand Prize" is not released at ordinary times. When I saw Yu Hengxing in person, I added a few "Grand Prize Tickets" temporarily.

The lottery drawing method is very primitive, and the rules are even simpler.

There are nine hundred and ninety-nine bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube, numbered from 99 to 1...

With the mantissa of 99 as the lucky number, you can get a special buoyant stone, and the most special number 1 will win a super prize!

Together, three hands stir in the cylinder.

"I'll smoke it!" Mona preemptively took it away.

Xia Tian and Ke Qing followed closely.

"Hmph, hum." A smug laugh came from beside his ears.

Mona even trembled excitedly: "Sure enough, I am the one favored by fate..."

I don't know what's going on, Xia Tian leaned over to take a look.

Damn, it's actually the No. 1 lottery, is it really that stupid?

This is a one-in-a-thousand probability. Although it is not particularly low, it is ridiculous enough to hit it with one shot.

Xia Tian looked at his bamboo stick again.
