Chapter 223 Different Fireworks
No matter how uneasy the old Taoist was, three days passed in a blink of an eye.
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and Kyoto was bustling with people.
Both sides of the street are filled with the aroma of food and the cries of vendors.
Another day full of energy.
"Taoist Priest, early in the morning is a good time to have a bowl of ginger-honey water, good old ginger, and newly picked honey!"
"Taoist Priest, would you like to try a plum blossom soup cake? It can regulate qi and stomach, and clear the stomach." It relieves pain in the lungs!”
The little Taoist was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva, but the old Taoist didn’t even look at the various delicacies on both sides. He kept his head down, frowned, and walked heavily. Walk towards the entrance of Yongchang Houfu.
"Master, let's run!" Seeing his master's uneasy look, the little Taoist priest's heart was jumping up and down, and he could no longer care about these delicacies.
My master was extremely interested in gunpowder and spent all his money just to develop gunpowder that would make him famous throughout the world.
In order to defraud money, he also told General Li in the Kyoto camp that he wanted to practice a new weapon that could kill people thousands of miles away.
Of course General Li didn't believe him and drove the master and apprentice out. However, they deceived too many people along the way and were sued by the government.
Fortunately, that adult came to the rescue, so I didn’t go to jail!
Unfortunately, that gentleman is not a kind person either. The purpose of rescuing them was to let them deceive Mrs. Yongchang Hou!
Ouch, the master actually took the nonsense that the master said casually!
No, the master and the apprentice worked hard for the head on the neck and finally developed the current gunpowder!
But after going to the back mountain to try it once, the experimental results made the master and the disciple feel chilly.
This thing is so different from what the master promised to hold it with your hands to set off fireworks!
What that adult wanted to see were portable fireworks to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Yongchanghou.
But this thing...
No matter how hard the old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest tried, they finally arrived at the door of Yongchang Marquis Mansion and knocked on the door with all their strength.
The concierge yawned and came to ask: "Which god came down to congratulate me on my birthday?"
It's not that the concierge didn't have the slightest sense of awe, it was just that in just a few days, the concierge had already seen There are all kinds of gods in the sky.
There are many gods, even he has never heard of them.
The concierge secretly sighed that he was a concierge who had seen the world.
The old Taoist was asked this question and was stuck for a long time. He hesitated and choked out one sentence: "Tai Shang Laojun..."
The concierge's eyes suddenly lit up. Taishang Laojun is the best at refining elixirs. Could it be that this time he is going to deliver the elixir of immortality?
Unexpectedly, it took a while for the old man to say the second half of the sentence: "The boy under the seat..."
The concierge's eyes dimmed, and then he became a little suspicious, and there was such a An old boy?
But how can the preferences of gods be figured out by mortals?
The porter kept his duties in mind and hurried to the main courtyard to report.
While waiting here, the old Taoist priest told himself, run away quickly. If you don’t run away, you may be known as a liar!
But the body stood obediently in place, not daring to move!
In this torture that lasted like years, the door of the house was opened again.
The golden sunshine shines on Mrs. Hou, reflecting colorful streams of light.
It was as if Mrs. Hou came riding on the colorful clouds, this scene made the little Taoist tremble in fear.
Do you and your master really want to deceive someone like a god? Can it be deceived?
"I heard that what you are sending are fireworks?" Su Yunyan loved watching fireworks the most. During the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, a grand fireworks show would be held in the palace.
The dazzling fireworks soar into the sky, bursting into dazzling fireworks in the dark night, which is particularly dazzling.
I heard from the concierge that what the old Taoist priest sent were long pole-like fireworks that could be set off by holding them with your hands.
This is so interesting! Su Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled, the dimples on her cheeks filled with joy and expectation.
I used to stay away from the fireworks and didn’t dare to go forward.
I can actually try to set off fireworks by myself this time. Is there any danger?
The old Taoist priest tightly hugged the long object wrapped in blue linen on his chest, his long beard trembling.
At this time, he is at war between heaven and man. Should he tell the truth or not?
There are more and more people watching the excitement around, and the old Taoist priest's background has been exposed.
“Hey, isn’t this the liar who was sued by the butcher to the Yamen?”
“Yes, that’s him! The two masters and apprentices also wanted to deceive General Li, but they were Kicked out.”
“It’s really weird. How come they weren’t locked up and they came here again to cheat?”
"You're so brave, you actually deceived Mrs. Yongchang Hou!"
Seeing the little Taoist priest, Gu Nanxi was already shaking with fear, and the old Taoist priest was like a clam shell, biting to death without opening his mouth. But my silly daughter was extremely interested in the fireworks in the arms of the old Taoist priest.
Then Gu Nanxi spoke to break the silence: "Taoist Priest, what is in your arms is a gift for me?"
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly, with a complicated expression.
Gu Nanxi continued to ask: "What is different about these fireworks?"
The old Taoist priest lowered his head and said nothing. Veins almost popped out of his fingers as he hugged the thing on his chest.
Gu Nanxi had no choice but to prompt: "Is it more beautiful?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said in a low voice: "No."
Gu Nan Xi's mind turned around: "Is it safer?"
If you can hold it with your hands, it will definitely be safer!
As soon as he heard this question, the old Taoist's knees went weak. He could no longer hold up and fell to his knees: "No, no, no!"
Gu Nanxi felt a headache and gave two steps , others are not inferior, what other reasons can you find?
"Then what's so magical about this thing? If not, it doesn't matter. Holding a fireworks feast before the birthday party has a very good meaning."
The old Taoist priest was even more trembling. Sifting chaff, when I think of that day, in front of Beijing In front of many honorable families, the long-tube fireworks developed by himself were ignited...
The old Taoist priest felt chilly all over and couldn't help but touch his neck. By then, I am afraid that even the Taoist temple will be affected. ……
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest no longer dared to hide it, but the adult might still be watching from the dark, and he did not dare to offend him.
"Mrs. Hou, why don't we find a place to try this fireworks?"
The old Taoist priest added: "It is best to have an open and uninhabited place."
"Okay, good idea!" Su Yunyan agreed repeatedly!
Although watching fireworks during the day is not as beautiful as at night, it is safer during the day and maybe you can try it yourself.
Seeing that Su Yunyan was so interested, Gu Nanxi certainly followed her wishes.
The group of people rode a carriage to the outskirts of Beijing.
The old Taoist priest naturally did not dare to let others try it, so he untied the cloth himself, took out the long tube, pointed it at a big tree not far away, and bang!
With a thunder, scorching flames roared out like a fire dragon!
