Chapter 154

"It's... super luxurious!"

After Shi Lan and Hu Tao entered the main pavilion, they stared dumbfounded at the dazzling array of decorations and constructions.

There are precious items collected by Ningguang over the years, antique vases of indeterminate age, just throwing out any one can top up Shi Lan's salary for thousands of years. In addition, there is no shortage of celebrity calligraphy and paintings. .There are even calligraphy and paintings nominated by Emperor Yanwang!

Under the huge circular corridor, the light from the top-quality night mooring stone and amber illuminates the entire main pavilion resplendent!
In the middle, the two staircases spiral downwards, and even the handrails are carved with Ling Lang...

Of course, now is not the time for them to go sightseeing.

Baiwen urged: "You two, Lord Tianquan and Lord Yelan have been waiting for a long time."

"Uh... where are they?" Shi Lan asked blankly.

Baiwen said patiently: "You can see it from here."

Hu Tao blinked at Shi Lan: "Shi Lan, Lord Tianquan is not so high..."

She was making fun of Shi Lan's previous description.

[The Jade Pavilion... it's um, it's huge!Your Majesty Tianquan sits on the throne...]

Shi Lan touched her nose in embarrassment.

Who knows what Ningguang thought and put the main pavilion below!Didn't you sit very high in Yujing Terrace?

Shi Lan pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "You're still talking! We'll see what you do later!"

Hu Tao's smile froze, his face stretched out, and his state became sluggish again. He moved step by step, unable to exert any strength at all.

"Hey... you will help me, right?"

"I'm sorry, I feel powerless."

"Hey..." Hu Tao gently shook Shi Lan's arm: "I beg you, please...help me..."

"I've helped you many times! Come to think of it." Shi Lan suddenly said, "You haven't given me the [-] Mora to accompany you to Wuwangpo..."

Hu Tao's eyes widened: "I already gave it! Did you forget?"

"Um……"

Seeing that Hu Tao was so determined, Shi Lan felt a little unconfident.

"Did I really give it? Why can't I remember..."

He scratched his head, recalling whether the [-] moras were given or not, and walked down the spiral staircase.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, he met Ning Guang's gaze head-on.

It's not a big room, and it doesn't even have a screen.

An ordinary wooden chair, an ordinary table full of files and papers, the only decoration is the luminous marrow lamp placed at the corner of the table.

Ning Guang stood aside, bowing his head in thought.

There was a bulletin board in front of her, the wooden board was covered with paper, densely packed with words.

It plans the business plans of Liyue's various industries for the next year.Random spreading of the content written on the paper is enough to cause a major earthquake in Liyue's business world.

Hearing a rush of footsteps on the stairs, Ningguang frowned, displeased to be interrupted in her contemplation.

Turning his head to look, he saw two unexpected people, and he was a little dazed: "Shi Lan? Walnut?"

Hearing Shi Lan's name, Ye Lan, who was sitting beside her flipping through a book, also raised her head with question marks all over her head.

"How did these two people get here?"

Ning Guang and Ye Lan looked at each other at the same time, seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Ningguang suddenly smiled.

"Shi Lan, don't tell me, you set the fire..." Ning Guang smiled kindly, but from the slightly fluctuating voice, it was not difficult to hear that Lord Tianquan was already very upset.

You set me on fire as soon as I sent you the monthly money, right?I thought your audacity was limited to stealing tributes from the statue of the Seven Heavens, but I didn't expect you to burn my Qunyu Pavilion? !

"It's not me, it's not me!" Shi Lan frantically shook her head and waved her hands, and sold the walnuts in a very rude manner: "It's her! It has nothing to do with me, I just caught her here."

Hu Tao's brain has been in a down state since just now, with his left eye on guard and his right eye on guard, trembling all over, talking nonsense and not knowing what to say.

Hearing that Shi Lan had sold herself in a snap, Hu Tao felt as though struck by lightning, and was about to kneel tremblingly.

I heard that there is a kind of "apologizing method that no matter what mistakes you make, you will be forgiven" in Daozuma. Hu Tao went to the doctor for a sudden illness, knelt down with a plop, put his hands on the ground, and then slammed his head on the ground.

Fairly standard soil seat.

"I'm so sorry!! Please forgive me!! I didn't mean to set fire..."

"Ah..." Ning Guang's mouth twitched, obviously shocked by Hu Tao's gift...

Kneeling and kowtowing in Dao's wife is a common etiquette for apologizing, but it's not just kneeling casually, let alone in Liyue, a place where traditional etiquette is strict...

Fortunately, Hu Tao is a child, kneeling for himself is not too difficult to accept.

Ningguang helped her forehead helplessly, "Shi Lan...pull her up..."

"Hey, get up!"

Shi Lan stretched out a hand to pull out a radish and pulled Hu Tao up. The latter stood there with a dazed mind, stuttering and trembling:

"It's amazing...it's too close...it's too close...the deterrent power of Lord Tianquan...seven stars...seven stars...so scary..."

"It's really scary... Lord Tianquan." Ye Lan teased with a chuckle.

"It's none of your business!"

Ning Guang rolled Ye Lan's eyes, walked to Hu Tao's side, knelt down so that Hu Tao could look at her at the same level, patted Hu Tao's white and tender face with plain hands, and began to perform exercises.

[100% MAX affinity for children! 】

"Little sister~"

The voice was as gentle as water, accompanied by Ru Lan's breath, eroding people's hearts bit by bit, awakening Hu Tao from the state of nervousness.

"Ah...Master Tianquan!" The little girl shivered, and the big teardrops ran across her face and fell to the ground: "Don't kill me... Woohoo, I still want to inherit the Hall of Rebirth... ..."

Ning Guang turned to look at Shi Lan: "Who told her that I was going to kill someone?"

"It's not me..." Shi Lan pretended to be stupid.

Ning Guang ignored him, and held Hu Tao's shoulders with both hands, "Calm down, little sister, sister will not hurt you..."

"Eh...Really?" Hu Tao kept sobbing, sniffling: "But Shi Lan said that Qunyu Pavilion is very important to you, and you should use tiger stool, pepper water, and never use a shovel for the rest of your life. punish……"

Shi Lan suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Grandma, when did I say this!"

Ning Guang couldn't see the cute little girl crying like this, so she couldn't stop comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, he threatened you, I'll deduct his monthly payment later..."

Shi Lan's eyes widened: "Huh? It's none of my business!"

Ning Guang completely ignored him: "Stay alone!"

"........."

He retreated to Yelan's side sullenly, feeling that he had suffered all the damage, obviously Hu Tao was the arsonist!Why deduct my monthly money?

But Ningguang did have two brushes, he comforted Hu Tao in a short while, and then coaxed Hu Tao to tell the whole story in a few words, leaving no secret behind, even the lantern was given to her by Shi Lan I told them all.

Shi Lan watched from the side and exclaimed again and again: "It's such a terrible method! It can make Hu Tao tell the whole process so willingly... It's even more powerful than the trick that lied to me last time!"

"Don't scare yourself." Ye Lan pursed her lips, "It's just a slap on a sweet date. It's the best way to deal with children."

Thus, the unsolved mystery of how the walnuts set the Qunyu Pavilion on fire finally came to light.

It's still the same idea of ​​handing out leaflets for thousands of years.

Hall Master Xiaohu received some lanterns from Shi Lan, and hung a few at home, so he tilted his head and came up with a wicked idea.

She modified the lantern by herself to make it look like a sky lantern, and then removed many bamboo sticks to reduce the weight, and replaced the candles inside with cotton blocks. After soaking in oil, it ignites and takes off.

I don't know how she designed it. When the sky lantern flies for a period of time, the fire from the cotton block will burn the rope that binds the leaflets, and then the leaflets will float all over Liyue with the wind.This way, handing out leaflets is much easier.

But she overlooked one thing, times have changed.

The methods she learned from reading ancient books are all outdated techniques, and no one uses them at all now.

In any age, traditional lanterns are still made!
Modern sky lanterns use buoyant stones as the main lift force, and light a piece of wick inside to see if it lights up. They don't need the lift force generated by flame combustion to take off.It is safe and beautiful, and there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient lift due to weight.

On the contrary, sky lanterns made of walnuts are very dangerous. When encountering a slightly stronger wind, the sky lanterns will wobble and easily ignite spontaneously, and then fall and cause a fire...

Puzzle solved.

There was no malicious attack by someone with ulterior motives, nor was there any conspiracy to sabotage. It was purely an accident caused by Walnut himself.

After understanding the whole story clearly, Ningguang nodded, not intending to embarrass Hu Tao anymore.

After all, it's just a little girl, what else can I do to her, I can only ask her grandpa to pay for it...

As for the tiger stool and chili water, those are the nonsense of girls' fantasy!

Just as she was about to say something, she heard loud footsteps coming from the corridor above, attracting everyone's attention.

"Beidou! Lord Tianquan is dealing with important matters! You have to wait a moment!" This was Baiwen's voice.

"Beidou?"

Ye Lan was the quickest to react, and poked Shi Lan: "The lord is here! Come on, it's time for you to show yourself!"

"Eh?"

Shi Lan suddenly became a little flustered, not ready to face Beidou yet!
"Why should I wait for her!" Beidou's voice came from above again: "What's important! My mother is her important matter!"

As soon as the words were finished, a figure turned over directly from outside the guardrail of the corridor, and instead of taking the stairs, fell straight down, and landed right in front of Shi Lan with a clatter.

Shi Lan, who was watching from the back, couldn't help being stunned.

"Very... so imposing..."

She called herself old lady in Qunyu Pavilion!Come on this is really cool!

There was silence in Qunyu Pavilion.

"Oh? I thought it was the other Seven Stars." Beidou slowly stood up straight, glanced around, with a disdainful attitude on the corner of his mouth: "Playing with a few children is your priority—Ning Light?"

The eldest sister debuts!
