Both sides of the noisy river are full of people.
The people in every city in the Dayan Dynasty celebrated the Reunion Festival lively just like the people in Jincheng now.
As a result, the somber whistle seemed a little pale and feeble amidst the hustle and bustle.
But General Bai, who was almost half-demon, still felt something as he soared into the air from Prince Jin's palace. His sharp claws grabbed the bag that Shen Liang had prepared, and he flew all the way. Finally, he dived down and landed steadily. In front of Shen Liang.
"Be good, go back and ask for meat from Sister Xiaoju."
After stroking General Bai's forehead twice, General Bai narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, then flew high into the sky and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The appearance of General Bai naturally attracted the attention of many people in Jincheng.
Through General Bai, many people also discovered Shen Liang's existence.
The title of the most evil young man in Jincheng has never been just for show.
What's more, he was accompanied by the second most evil young man in Jincheng.
For a moment, without Shen Liang deliberately speaking, the people around him consciously made a space for him.
Shen Liang didn't take this at all. After all, since he was a child, he has been deliberately using his father Shen Wanjun's reputation as an executioner to constantly do things that are easy to make others look down upon, preferably the whole world. It would be better if everyone thought he was a waste, so that he could bring his "gou" to its fullest.
Looking at the bulging packages at their feet, Chu Shile and the four girls all looked curious.
"Brother Liang, what's in here?"
Shen Liang smiled mysteriously and said to the package on the ground:
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
After receiving Shen Liang's approval, Chu Shile squatted down with some difficulty. After untying the knot, he saw that there were more than one kind of things inside, the most conspicuous of which was a stack of white paper.
Reaching out to pick up a piece of paper, Chu Shile held it towards a lantern hanging on the edge of the nearby corridor. The reddish light came into his eyes through the white paper, and he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Brother Liang, this isn't paper for writing on, is it? Otherwise it's too thin, and it will rot as soon as the ink penetrates!"
Shen Liang rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"It's not rotten, but it's certainly not the white paper used to write on."
Chu Shile did not rush to ask for the answer, but continued to flip through the objects in the package.
A stack of tissue paper, some thin bamboo strips, a bowl of sticky white paste, a brush, a set of inkstones, plus...
Several small translucent round blocks of unknown origin looked like the shape reshaped after burning of white candles, but visually they were not as smooth as the candle blocks.
Chu Shile picked up a piece and held it in his hand. The indescribable touch convinced him that he had never seen this thing before.
"Brother Liang, what's the use of this soft, cool thing?"
Shen Liang continued to remain secretive.
"You'll know later. Come on, sisters, come closer. I'll only teach you this fun thing once. If anyone doesn't learn it later, they will have to pay additional tuition."
The two girls, Chun Yu and Dong Xue, who were far more eager to make money than curious about this thing, looked at each other after hearing this, and both smiled and asked calmly:
"Your Highness, I don't have any money with me, so I can't afford the tuition."
"Your Highness, can the tuition fees be paid in other ways? For example..."
Chunyu sent a charming glance, which immediately aroused Xiao Shen Liang's anger.
"Ahem!"
He coughed twice to get rid of distracting thoughts, and after telling Xiao Shen Liang to calm down, Shen Liang rolled up his sleeves and replied:
"It's okay to give it in other ways, but the specific method has to be decided by my Highness."
Spring rain and winter snow all come together, this is what they do, and it is the simplest thing to make the benefactor happy in the way they are good at.
Then it was Shen Liang's performance time.
Five people, Chu Shile, Chun Yu, Dong Xue, and mother and daughter Hua, surrounded Shen Liang in the middle.
Shen Liang took out three pieces of tissue paper that had been cut earlier in the house, spread them out, and tied them with thin bamboo strips to form a frame with a circle on the outside and a cross on the inside.
Then, he pasted the three pieces of paper together with paste, and finally placed a piece of something that Chu Shile had never seen before at the intersection within the frame.
After all the preparations were completed, Shen Liang carefully handed the "assembly" to Chu Shile.
"Here, help me get it."
Chu Shile still couldn't figure out what Shen Liang wanted to do, and what magical and interesting things could be about the object he took over.
But every word Shen Liang said was an order to him. If he didn't obey the order, he would be digging a grave for the Chu family.
After Chu Shile held the "object" he handed over firmly, Shen Liang took out the fire folder, blew the fire, and pointed at the small white piece in the center of the bottom frame of the object.
There were five people around, watching without blinking.
Until Huozhezi easily ignited the small white piece, a truly magical scene happened!
The five people saw that the originally flat tissue paper expanded on its own, and the shape seemed to be a lantern, but it also seemed not to be a lantern.
In addition, what is even more magical for Chu Shile holding this object is——
He could feel that the thing in his hand was competing with him!
In other words, it is his own hands that restrict its freedom, and the freedom it longs for is the sky filled with stars!
"Brother Liang! It...it...it seems to be flying!"
Upon hearing this, the four girls all looked shocked.
It's not like they have never seen white lanterns before, but whose lanterns are not hung on the eaves to prevent them from falling to the ground. How can there be lanterns that can fly into the sky on their own? !
"Hold on, it's not over yet."
Shen Liang quickly squatted down, quickly studied the ink, and then picked up the brush and dipped it lightly. When he was about to write on the white lantern, he couldn't think of what to write.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Liang's writing took a turn.
At the beginning of writing, I did not forget to warn the five people around me.
"Close your eyes, otherwise the wishes written on the lanterns will not come true."
Chu Shile suppressed the words that came to his mouth and honestly closed his eyes with the other four women.
After finishing writing, Shen Liang greeted:
"Let go."
Chu Shile did as he was told, and after waiting for two breaths, Shen Liang asked the five people to open their eyes.
The five people looked up at the starry sky. The white lantern made by Shen Liang actually flew up, getting higher and farther away.
Seeing this scene, Chu Shile couldn't bear it anymore.
"Brother Liang! Who did you learn this from? Can it make wishes with the gods in the sky?"
Shen Liang smiled and nodded, no longer being pretentious.
"I learned it from a gentleman named Kong Ming. He said that as long as you write your wishes on a lantern, when the lantern flies to the fairyland, the immortal who receives it will help you achieve your wish."
Chu Shile became more energetic, and the four girls also showed eagerness to try.
After getting Shen Liang's consent, the five of them quickly took action.
Chu Shile was halfway through and suddenly asked:
"Brother Liang, what wish did you write?"
Shen Liang kicked him in the butt.
"I told you, your wish won't work if you say it."
Chu Shile grinned, pulled out his hand and rubbed his butt.
"Oh...did you hear that? No one of you is allowed to peek at my wishes later!"
The four women responded perfunctorily, obviously paying attention to the Kongming Lantern.
After giving some guidance one by one, and seeing that the Kongming Lanterns of the five people were almost completed, Shen Liang looked at the sky, and saw the faint firelight that was about to completely disappear from his field of vision.
"Shen Wanjun, you want to live a long life."
