Chapter 536: Justice comes from the sky, thunder fires the snake spirit~! (in)

"Aniang, brother, look, someone is lighting the sky lantern~!"
Guiyifang, in the home of Meng Wenhao.
After dinner, Yaya came to the courtyard and inadvertently saw a bright fire floating in the sky in the northeast direction. The little girl couldn't help but yelled excitedly into the house, pointing in that direction.
The so-called sky lantern is another nickname for Kongming lantern, commonly known as the wishing lantern, and also known as the praying lantern. It is an ancient Chinese handicraft that was mostly used for military purposes in ancient times, but some people would use it on major festivals such as Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival for wishing and blessing.
Regarding the origin of Kongming lanterns, there are two theories. One is that in the five generations, there was a woman named Xin Qiniang who used bamboo strips to make a square frame with her husband when fighting in Fujian. , Burning resin is placed on the chassis, and the lamp flies into the sky by hot air, which is used as a military communication signal. This kind of resin lamp is called Kongming lamp in Sichuan. The main reason is that this lantern looks like a hat worn by Zhuge Liang, hence the name.
Another way of saying it is that it was invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhuge Liang was besieged in Pingyang, unable to send troops out of the city for help. Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind and made a paper lantern that would float, and attached a distress message. The consequences would escape danger, so later generations called this lantern Kongming lantern.
No matter which statement is correct, it is an indisputable fact that there were Kongming lamps in the Tang Dynasty.
"Really, but there are still more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival~! Why would anyone put sky lanterns on at this time~?"
When Mother Meng heard her daughter's scream, she also ran out to watch the excitement. After seeing the fire, she said with some confusion.
"Mother, that's not a sky lantern~!"
Meng Wenhao said boringly at this time, and then he gestured with his hands:
"The fire is at least four or five miles away from our place. Generally speaking, the farther away things are, the smaller they look. But now we can see so clearly after such a distance, which shows that things are better than normal. The sky lantern is at least dozens of times bigger~! It is definitely not a sky lantern~!"
After hearing the words, Mother Meng thought carefully, and suddenly realized that what her son said was reasonable, but she was still somewhat puzzled: "But if it weren't for sky lanterns, what else could fly so high~?"
"Baby don't know~!"
Meng Wenhao shook his head and said, "But Mr. Sure must know~!"
Mother Meng rubbed her son's head amusedly, and said, "Yes, yes~! Hao'er's husband is the best~! Go to rest early~! Hao'er, you have to go to the food shop of Hu Yuan's house tomorrow! Afterwards~!"
Father Meng has been going to sea for almost three months, and the pillars of the family have gone. Meng Wenhao had to stand up at this time, so he took advantage of the more than two months of field leave to find a job to subsidize the family.
The other party is the outsider of the Human Mengmu often works for. The position is Mr. Accountant. With the glory aura of the first arithmetic school and the knowledge of arithmetic that is ahead of this era in his mind, Meng Wenhao alone is worth ten. The Hu family’s original accountant, so not only did Hu Yuanwai treat him with special respect, his salary was not generally high.
"Oh~! Got it, mother~!"
Meng Wenhao sullenly responded, but his expression became a little weird.
…………………………
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the people below, a large group of flames just flew out of the Qiqu Pavilion Workshop, and that group of flames is still flying to the northeast. It should be about to leave the city now~!"
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Er rubbed his sore wrist and was about to go back to sleep with his grandson, but Zhao Song suddenly walked in and reported.
"A flying fire~?"
Li Er frowned and his expression became a little weird. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly stood up and said, "Put the Xuanwu Gate~!"
The north gate of Taiji Palace, Xuanwu Gate, is located at the Yupo of Longshouyuan. It has a high terrain and overlooks the entire Chang'an City. If you are in control, it is an important gateway to the north of the palace. Of course, compared with its geographic location, Xuanwumen is most famous for its political and military status. After all, a regime change took place here last year.
In fact, in a few years, a taller and more magnificent building will begin to be built here, that is, the famous Daming Palace. Standing on it, you can see it even outside Chang'an. If nothing else, it will be in Zhenguan for eight years. Li Erhui ordered the construction.
"Your Majesty, look at it quickly~! It's the firelight, estimate the distance, it should fly out of Chang'an City~!"
Arriving upstairs of Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Song pointed to Eastern Sky and said to Li Er.
"Hmm~!"
Li Er nodded and responded, but his eyes stared in that direction without blinking. Zhao Song didn't know why Li Er looked so attentively, but he didn't dare to ask questions, just lowered his eyebrows. Standing on the sidelines.
"Swing back to the palace~!"
After a long time, the fire became smaller and smaller ~EbookFREE.me~ until it finally disappeared. Li Er tossed his sleeves, turned and left, leaving a sentence in the air but Zhao Song was stunned.
"After Li Zexuan returns to the city tomorrow, let him come to see me immediately~!"
Zhao Song frowned and followed Li Er, wondering in his heart: "Isn't Li Zexuan still in the workshop now~? Why does your Majesty wait for him to return to the city tomorrow~?"
………………………
"Left punch, right punch, we all take a punch~!"
How depressed Zhao Song was that Li Zexuan couldn't control it. This guy is now busy wiping his for the awesomeness he blown back then~!
After the hot air balloon flew to the sky earlier, he regretted it in his heart, because tonight it was a southerly wind, and Qinling was in the northeast of Chang'an City. This wind direction was simply inappropriate~!
If Li Zexuan did nothing and let the fireball fly freely, he would definitely not reach the Snake Spirit Mountain and would only fly farther and farther north!
Back then, when Kong Ming was doing Kongming lanterns for help, he had already calculated the direction of the wind. Although Li Zexuan came from Taoism, he had not learned how to count. No, he was a little confused when he went to heaven.
This is really a thousand counts, but one missed one!
Fortunately, this guy's brain is still clever, he thought of the present method: It is to punch to the west without stopping, it is a punch with real energy, through the recoil of the punch, combined with the thrust of the south wind, Li Zexuan "Lian Ren with the ball" floated "limping" towards the northeast.
(Little friends who have studied force analysis can definitely analyze it)
"Special mother~! Is this a rocket with a gas tank~?"
Li Zexuan mumbled depressedly while doing physical work at high altitude.
Keke, I have to say that his description is really very appropriate~!
