Chapter 103 Kongming Lantern
The room was not big, with a round table in the middle, and two old men in black robe sat next to the table. They looked very young, and their hair and beards were gray.
Renault's eyes could not be focused on the old men at all, but on the chairs under their butts. He knew this kind of chair, which was called the Grand Master Chair in our heavenly dynasty, looked so grand. However, few people have used it. It is too hard and uncomfortable to sit.
How did the Great Chu Dynasty have this thing? When he was in Dingjun City, Renault had never seen it. Dingxi Army was not rich before, but no matter how he was, he would never be poor Zhu Chongjiu.
Obviously, the Taishi Chair is not a regular chair in Dachu.
From the beginning of entering the Temple of War, Renault felt like entering a museum, and it was a very strange museum with a long time span.
With a glance from the corner of his eyes, Renault was Spartan. He raised his head and stared blankly at the wall opposite, where there were three-foot-long white paper with two big words written on it.
There is really nothing new about hanging calligraphy and paintings on the wall. There are also General Zhu’s mansion. The Ninth Princess also likes this kind of thing very much, but this character is so magical.
It's actually simplified Chinese!
Not to mention the good or bad of the writing, Renault is not a calligraphy enthusiast, but he can recognize it. These two words are written in bold, and some people are practicing bold?
Don’t worry about this, the point is why it is simplified Chinese!
During this period, Renault has gradually adapted to the big seal script. Suddenly, he saw the simplified Chinese characters, and a sense of familiarity arises from the bottom of his heart, a little warm, a little excited, and more of it is fear. Is this a hell?
"Xuanmen." Renault subconsciously recited it out loud.
The two old men in black robe looked at each other and nodded slightly. He knew him. Although there are many people in this world who can recognize these two words, at least it proves that the boy named Renault in front of him has something to do with the secret master. It is impossible for ordinary scholars to know him.
"My friend Renault, sit down and have a cup of tea. I am Bai Jing, the master of this Temple of War God. This brother is Fire Flame, lives in the Temple of Shennong. I think my friend has heard of us." The old man with whiter hair said.
What's the name? In addition to your white hair, do you have white areas on your body? Even your robe is black. Well, at such an old age, it's actually called Baijing!
The other person's name is even more arrogant, his name is Fire!
These two are the most mysterious and transcendent secret masters of the Great Chu, but what does this Xuanmen mean? They are mixed in gangs?
"Boy Renault, I have met two seniors." Renault had countless questions in his heart. He forced himself to stand up and walked to the round table, but found two chairs.
The room was not big and not too small. Apart from this round table, there were only two Grand Master chairs, which were all occupied by them.
This is a bit embarrassing. If you don’t have a chair, you still let me sit down and have tea?
Can't sit without a chair? Look at people underestimate them, right? Rider squats on his horse, adjusts his height, and looks from the opposite side, and the truth is sitting. This means that he has become a warrior and has advanced to the second grade. If he changes to Renault, a former college student, this posture can't be maintained for even a minute.
Bai Jing and Huo Yan were slightly stunned, then shook their heads and smiled slightly, interesting little guy.
The surname Lei is originally the surname of the Xuan tribe, but now there are many surnames of Lei, and they may not be descendants of the tribe. After all, more than a thousand years have passed. The tribe people were scattered and no one knows how many direct bloodlines were.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a secret master or not. In fact, it is not their final say. Outsiders will think that as secret masters, they will not be so shallow.
Bai Jing started making tea, and Renault found that the technology tree points here were a bit crooked, and the smelting level was very low, but the tea was similar. It is said that at the earliest, tea was used to cook, and the history of brewing was not very long.
Dachu uses the brewing method. This is not a simple problem of brewing and brewing. The brewing method requires processing of tea. There are many techniques. Anyway, if you give Renault a bunch of fresh tea, he will definitely not be able to stir-fry tea without studying it for ten or half a month.
"My friend Lei, I heard you have returned from the beach?" Bai Jing said slowly, recognizing the word Xuanmen. Renault is qualified to drink tea and communicate. It is impossible to have a chair. It allows you to stand and talk. The secret master is willing to spend time on you. This is already a recognition. If you can't even recognize the word Xuanmen, just get out of here.
"Um."
"I heard that my friend flew to the Golden Road to the southwest by taking something called a hot air balloon?" Bai Jing continued to ask.
"Yeah." This is not a secret. Huya's mouth is quite strict, but Renault just wants to tell it through his mouth, so he will naturally not let him keep it secret. Bai Jing knows it. Many people in the Yulin Army know this.
This is the origin designed by Renault for himself. A living person cannot pop out of thin air from the cracks of the stone. This origin must stand up to scrutiny, sound reasonable, and be a little bit suspicious.
The most important thing is that when the conditions are right, Renault can confirm this, which is the most important thing. No matter how well it is, it is better to let someone witness the miracle with his own eyes and come more realistically.
"My friend, what is a hot air balloon?" Bai Jing asked. Fire didn't seem to like talking too much, and Bai Jing asked.
"Is there paper?" It's a bit troublesome to explain, so it's much easier to draw.
"Natural." Fire rose up to pick up the paper, and there were only three of them in the room. The little boy stopped Huya and others outside the room. The Secret Master communicated. How could he allow irrelevant people to listen? Not to mention that Huya was ignorant, even the Secret Master's apprentice and maid were not allowed to appear.
Pick up the paper and shake it gently. This should be the so-called official paper. The quality is pretty good, the thickness, toughness and cleanliness are all right, at least a lot better than the paper he copied out.
Renault doesn’t feel that the purpose of making paper has reached most of the time. Just study it in depth when you have time. The toilet paper is still too fragile. When using it, you must increase the amount, otherwise it will be embarrassing.
After drawing a few strokes, I only drew the appearance picture. There is really nothing to draw in the hot air balloon. There is a ball on the top and a blue one on the bottom, and there is no heating device under the hot air balloon.
"This... is this?" Bai Jing's eyes were straightened at that time. This thing was so similar to a project he was studying. Fire knew about this project, so the two old men stared at the appearance of the hot air picture that was so simple that only lines were left.
A cup?
Renault felt that talking to these two people was a bit tiring. His Chinese level was average, but "Zhan" should be a quantifier!
"What is a clove?" Renault forgave them with a big belly. Many rules in the Great Chu world are different from the earth, but he feels that it has a great connection, and this is the strangest place.
Speaking Shanghai dialect, writing large seal script, knowing how to brew, and knowing crucible smelting.
With Renault's understanding of Da Chu, these should not exist. In fact, there are many similar things, such as the Taishi Chair, stirrups, and white paper...
"Come on, come with me." Bai Jing was excited, stood up, took Renault's hand, pushed the door out of the room, trotted all the way to the backyard.
The front yard of the God of War Temple is very small, but the back yard is large, and there is more than one courtyard, with nine inches in front and back, looking like a garbage dump.
After passing through three courtyards, Bai Jing let go, entered the room, and after a while, he picked up a bunch of...dashed!
After sorting out this thing, Renault immediately recognized it. Isn’t this Kongming lantern? This is the one?
"My friend, can you know this thing?" Bai Jing was a little proud. This Kongming lantern can actually be folded and is quite advanced. It can be placed on the earth, and it will cost several yuan to buy children's toys.
Several brackets are separated, and then light fabric is hung, and a small bowl is hung underneath, which should be used to add oil.
Renault stepped forward and reached out to touch the fabric. The God of Wealth could not analyze what material it was. It was fine, translucent and tough. The God of Wealth's analysis data was also amazing. It was not easy to find similar fabrics on the earth.
"Senior Bai, what kind of fabric is this?" Without answering Bai Jing's words, he was more concerned about what it was. He had never tried it. He didn't know how much tension it could withstand or whether it was fireproof. If it could meet the requirements, Renault could make him a real hot air balloon in a few days. This material is great.
"Ice Silk Brocade." Bai Jing became even more proud. He spent three years on such a small piece of ice silk brocade.
"I want it, I want it as much as I want." Renault was excited. No matter what material it was, he would be able to make a hot air balloon, and his identity as a secret master would be stable. Even if these two old men didn't admit it, it would not work.
The people of Great Chu can reach the sky, but they are using flying beasts. Artificially made things can reach the sky, and they are all stunned.
"How much do you want?" Bai Jing looked at Renault vigilantly, looking as if she was thief-proof. This little old man was not as noble as the legendary one, but he was a bit like an old child.
"A lot, let's get one thousand square meters first." Renault didn't know if it was enough. Thinking about the tourist hot air balloon I took, it seemed that 1,000 square meters was a little less, so let's make a small one first.
"One thousand? How big is square meter?" Bai Jing was a little dizzy when she heard about one thousand. She resisted asking about square meter, which he had never heard of before.
"It's probably that big." Renault gestured casually. It's really troublesome without standard weights and measures.
Seeing his gesture, his face turned green, and the flames sneered, "Ignorance, it turns out that you don't know what an ice silkworm is."
"Impossible, do you know how long I have collected these ice silkworm brocades? It took three years to collect the power of the Great Chu. Not to mention a thousand, one square meter is impossible." Bai Jing said decisively.
No, then forget it, Renault doesn't care. He feels that using this material as a hot air balloon is a bit of a waste. If you really want to make a hot air balloon, just find the right material in the future. In fact, the materials for the hot air balloon are not that high.
"Renault, do you know how to use a cup?" Bai Jing didn't want to mention the ice silk brocade anymore. This kid was too confused.
"Put the lamp oil, light the wick, wait for a moment, and then you can fly up." Renault said disdainfully. The Kongming lantern you played with for a few years is so funny to use to make things difficult for a college student.
