Wolf Dysprosium

Beirong people call the first day of each year "Sui Chue", which is different from New Year's Eve. It is the first day of spring calculated by the great witch in the city of Beirong.

From this day on, everything in Chiwangyuan will be revived.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the big witch will hold a fire worship ceremony in the royal city.He wields his scepter and dances a dance around the everlasting flame on the tower in the center of the king's city.At the end of the dance, the fireworks released by the witch are the signal of the coming of spring.

Spring does not come naturally, but is calculated by the witch. If the big witch fails to announce the arrival of spring, even if the Chiwangyuan pasture has grown tender grass, it will not be considered spring?Jin Yan asked He Lansone, but He Lansone couldn't give him an answer.

That night in Beidu was very noisy, Hun Da'er and others brought Zhuo Zhuo and Ruan Buqi up, and the group sat on the roof to watch the lights of Beidu all night.Because Hun Da'er donated his own jerky, Zhuo Zhuo brought up Helan's jerky, but no one cared about it except Jin Yan.

He Lansone: "...You should eat something else."

Jin Yan: "No need, my teeth are fine."

Fireworks burst out one after another in the Wangcheng. Under the bright lights, Jin Yan suddenly saw a wriggling mountain hidden behind the Wangcheng.

"That's a fire dragon." He Lansone explained to him, "Tomorrow night is the Lantern Festival in Beidu, and there must be a fire dragon in the Lantern Festival."

Jin Yan suddenly lost his voice: "There is also a Lantern Festival in the northern capital?!"

He is used to the Lantern Festival in Liangjing.Every year before the Chinese New Year, preparations for the Lantern Festival began in various places in Liangjing. On the night of the [-]th, when the golden phoenix flew out of the palace to light up the lantern pavilion on the top of the Yufeng Building, the Lantern Festival officially began for three days and three nights.

On the first day, you can enjoy the five-color lanterns in the palace, the seven-chariot treasured dragon, the nine-carriage colorful crane, and the strange lanterns of different races that pay tribute from various countries.The general's mansion will receive a post, and with the post, you can climb to the side building of Yufeng Building with the best view. From the side building, you can see the imperial building where the official's house is located.It is rare for the official family to appear in front of the common people once a year. People crowd the street outside Suzaku Gate, looking up at Longyan—but because they are too far away, even the emperor's face can't be seen clearly.

The second and third days were the Liangjing City Lantern Festival, and that was Jin Yan's favorite moment.The folks come up with unique tricks, and there are endless streams of unique tricks, and fresh melons and fruits of various colors are sold beside the road.

At this time, Jin Yan couldn't stay at home.Every year during the Lantern Festival, the weather starts to warm up, and the mountains and fields in the southern suburbs of Liangjing are already covered with light green. Jin Yan and his sister will always invite three or five friends to ride horses to the suburbs to explore the spring.

The streets are full of colorful lanterns, and there are even various vulgar artists competing to perform. Panlou is so crowded that everyone can only stand. Dongjier Lane and Xijier Lane are brightly lit all night. I'm afraid that Jin Yan will also curiously drill in to find out.It doesn't matter if you can't go home after eating, drinking and having fun. On Wugengtian Street, there are people selling hot water for facial cleansing, soup and tea.

On the last night, there will be a fire lantern array of the Praetorian Guards.When the performance of the fire lantern array was over, the entire city of Liangjing quietly fell silent.The fire-burning golden phoenix in Yufeng Tower was taken back to the palace by the forbidden army, waiting for the next year to spread its wings of fire.

He Lansone couldn't get back to his senses: "Is there really a golden phoenix on fire?"

Jin Yan said with a smile: "That is a ignited rocket, shot by the strongest and best archer in the imperial guards, it can directly ignite the oil-soaked fire cluster in the center of the lantern pavilion. The meaning of the arrow is the same as Beirong’s Jinhe Arrows are similar to Langdi, and they are carefully kept by the Imperial Army and used once a year.”

He Lansone told Jin Yan that the Lantern Festival in Beirong began with the concubine of Dayu who was married more than 20 years ago.God loves Princess Da Yu very much. He not only builds a house in the style of Da Yu for her entertainment, but also arranges lantern banquets on New Year's Eve, trying to restore all the fun of Da Yu for her.

After the death of the princess, the Lantern Festival did not stop.Years of lantern feasts have made the people of Beirong fall in love with these beautiful lanterns and lively atmosphere, which is a rare pastime in the boring and cold early spring.So the Lantern Festival became the Lantern Festival, which has been passed down year after year.

Zhuo Zhuo was so full of jerky that he fell asleep in Ruan Buqi's arms.At this time, it was half daylight, everyone dispersed, and the lively atmosphere in the streets became more and more intense.

Jin Yan only slept for a while before being woken up by Balonger to work.Balonger didn't dare to look for Ruan Buqi, afraid of being scratched by Zhuo Zhuo, so he tried very hard to rouse Jin Yan.He arranged for several servants in the mansion to decorate the inner courtyard and house with Jin Yan.Jin Yan was a little confused: "The big witch calculates the New Year's Eve, and there is no sign? Isn't it too late to decorate the house after he calculates it and announces it to the world?"

Balonger: "How much do you know about the magic of the great witch!"

His face was full of flesh, his beard was thick and thick, and his eyes were frightening when he squinted.Jin Yan turned his head silently and nailed the huge and heavy bear's head to the wall.

At noon, Balonger finally gave up his supervision, and went out to the military mansion with Hun Da'er, Du Ze, and He Lansone.That's where Beidu manages the army.

Jin Yan felt a little heavy in his heart: Da Yu's defeat was a certainty, and he was worried about his own safety, as well as Da Yu's fate.Zheweng, the king of Beirong, showed rare cruelty in the war to reconquer the five major tribes. Jin Yan had a heart hanging: he was afraid that Zheweng would slaughter all the Dayu people in the twelve cities in Jiangbei.

He thought of Yue Lianlou, Chen Shuang, and Ming Yetang behind them.

Mingyetang is a well-known gang in Jianghu. Although it has only been established for 30 or [-] years, it is already extremely important.Apart from the peerless martial arts of everyone in the gang, there are two other reasons for this beautiful reputation and solid status:

Firstly, the master of Mingye hall is good at business, and also good at accepting people's hearts.

Most people in the Jianghu are poor, and they regard robbing the rich and helping the poor as the only creed; and the heroic men are somewhat vain, can drink wine worth three pennies, and never taste tea for half a copper plate, so when there is no wealth to rob, People in the rivers and lakes are often down and out.But in the impoverished arena, the people of Mingyetang have always been well-dressed and elegant, but they never bully others. How much money and silver come and go like floating clouds", won the hearts of all the poor heroes in the Jianghu.

The second reason is related to what Mingyetang is good at doing.

Mingyetang gathers many masters, as long as they can afford the money, and as long as there is no conflict with Mingyetang's seven no-kill orders, they can do anything, from going deep into the Forbidden Palace to steal teacups used by saints, down to searching The Pug puppies of the No. 13 concubine of the city guard are all beautifully made, and they will never reveal the identity information of the client. They are more reliable than the stones in the Liexing River.

And martial arts practitioners who enter the Ming Ye Hall must discard all their martial arts and learn the "Six Changes of Transforming Spring" from scratch.This is Ming Yetang's secret internal energy, each change has different external skills to match, the snow-melting extraordinary skill that Yue Lianlou used that day is the fourth level of "Yi Bu Lian" in the six changes of Huachun.

Yue Lianlou has already practiced to the fourth level, his martial arts must not be underestimated.Jin Yan climbed down the ladder, and secretly decided to find an opportunity to go back to Xinyuan again, first apologize to Yue Lianlou, and then discuss the matter of saving lives.

He Lansone and his party came back in the evening, while Hun Da'er and Du were beaming with joy, but when they saw Jin Yan, they quickly put away all expressions and greeted him dumbly.

Jin Yan had vaguely guessed the truth in his heart.After dinner, he was washing dishes in the backyard. When He Lansone came to him, Jin Yan asked him, "Did your brother become a general during the Beirong's attack on Dayu?"

He Lansone couldn't hide it, so he nodded.

This was the fact that Jin Yan had already guessed, he pretended to be shocked, and lowered his head to wash the dishes.Before the bowls were finished, He Lansone pulled him up and said to Ruan Buqi, who was washing the pots, "You wash the rest, Jin Ye and I will go out for a while."

Ruan Buqi shook his head, ran over and took Jin Yan's hand, and gestured towards the door.

Jin Yan: "Take Ruan Buqi."

He Lansone: "I just want to go to the Lantern Festival with you."

The two of them shook off Ruan Buqi, who was cleaning the pot, and slipped away quietly through the back door.After stepping out of the house, Jin Yan was immediately startled by the lights all over his eyes.

He thought for a moment that he was back in Liangjing, and all the lights, entertainers, shouts, and food aromas on the street were no different from Liangjing Lantern Festival.

He Lansone was afraid that he would get lost, so he held his hand all the time.Jin Yan followed him forward, passed by the crowd, and was suddenly dazzled by a flash of fire above his head.

In the night sky illuminated by lights, a giant dragon with golden flames shining all over its body was slowly cruising across the northern capital.

Jin Yan was so shocked that he could not speak, he held He Lansone tightly and let him look at the top of his head.He Lansone smiled and said, "This is the fire dragon you saw last night."

The fire dragon in Beidu is the most special feature of this Lantern Festival.The fire dragon is actually a huge, papery, chunky dragon shape with its tail clasped above the ever-burning flame in the tower of the royal city.All the airflow from the burning flame poured into the dragon's body, driving the dragon to rise and swing.

The giant dragon hangs in the sky above Beidu, and the lights in the city of Beidu stay on all night, and the airflow firmly supports the dragon's body so that it will not fall.If the wind blows through the air, the fire dragon will swing and swim like a living thing.

The fire light on the fire dragon is actually countless extremely thin and light copper pieces.They are like small mirrors, reflecting the lights of the northern capital, and the giant dragon is like a burning fire.

Jin Yan was shocked.He Lansone took him up the city wall, and the city wall was also full of Beirong people, dancing around the bonfire, selling barbecue, singing, it was very lively.Standing on the city wall, Jin Yan got closer and closer to the dragon, and finally saw how the copper pieces on the dragon's body were connected in series with extremely thin wires.

This requires extremely sophisticated technology and smelting skills.Jin Yan was shaken by the wind. When He Lansone came out, he took the fox fur and put it on him.

"Who did this... He Lansone?" Jin Yan turned around, but He Lansone was nowhere to be seen behind him.

Beside him was a stall selling roasted lamb. The stall owner spoke a Beirong dialect that he could not understand, and warmly invited him to try his own cooking.Jin Yan was well-behaved and gentle, the stall owner looked left and right, and then called other people to come and look at him, making Jin Yan blush.

He Lansone came back with four pork pancreas pancakes, saw that Jin Yan was in trouble, and hurriedly took him away.

The Beirong people asked him questions from behind, and He Lansone answered, but Jin Yan couldn't understand a word, and only heard a burst of laughter behind him.He looked suspiciously at He Lansone who was also laughing: "What are you talking about?"

The author has something to say:

Dongjier Lane and Xijier Lane: The red-light district in the Song Dynasty, the name says it all hahahaha... These two streets are still preserved. In Kaifeng, Dongjier Lane is now Shuanglong Lane, and Xijier Lane is Confucian Temple street.

Thinking about it carefully, Jin Yan is deceiving little Helan in almost every chapter.Hi, little bastard.
