The phoenix flower lantern is a specialty of the Yun Kingdom. It has a complex structure and is large in size. Its petals are like the feathers of a phoenix. When it is lit and lifted into the sky, a phoenix silhouette will fly on the wall of the lantern, hence its name.
Every New Year's Eve, Yuncheng's lantern festival attracts many people to come and watch it, not only the locals of the Yun Kingdom, but also people from other countries.
The Lantern Festival not only offers beautiful scenery, but also treasures trading. The trading scale is not as large as that of Yunhe Shopping Mall, but there are also many things that are not seen in ordinary times. Both practitioners and ordinary people in Yun Kingdom are used to buying some love for themselves on this day.
things to welcome the New Year.
When the Yunhe Fair started on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when they were still in Chiyun Mountain, Ye Qingyu said that the Lantern Festival should not be missed again.
The round-faced Senior Sister Xiao Wang is a master at weaving phoenix lanterns. In the entire secret land of Lingxiao, her phoenix lanterns are the most beautiful. Jiang Anan has been pestering her all day long.
Dozens of ready-made phoenix lanterns have been placed on the platform in the center of the Lingxiao Secret Land. They just need to be lit to fly high into the sky.
Senior Sister Xiao Wang flew her fingers in front of the half-finished lamp, manipulating the translucent silk thread with dexterous movements. Jiang Anan moved a small wooden stool and sat next to it, staring at it with her big eyes flickering.
"Senior Sister Xiao Wang, the phoenix flowers you weave are so beautiful." Jiang Anan said with envy.
Senior Sister Xiao Wang smiled proudly: "Of course, Senior Sister has liked phoenix lanterns since she was a child."
As she spoke, she took out her hand and gently pressed Jiang Anan's little face.
Turning his gaze for a moment, he met Jiang Wang's clear and calm eyes.
My heart suddenly stopped.
"Brother Jiang is looking at me, Brother Jiang is looking at me!" she shouted in her heart.
"His eyes are so serious..."
"He smiled at me!"
His heart was turbulent, but his face was very reserved. He only touched his slightly rounded chin, showing a hint of careless tenderness, and then turned his head back, weaving the phoenix flowers with force and calmness. But the roots of his ears turned red in an instant.
At that time, under the tall cloud platform, a group of disciples from Lingxiao Pavilion were coming and going, preparing for the night lantern festival. Jiang Wang stood among the crowd and looked here quietly.
Facing Senior Sister Xiao Wang's gaze, Jiang Wang smiled politely as a greeting.
Of course he was looking at An An.
Little An'an looked at the phoenix flowers for a while, then turned to look for her brother. When she saw Jiang Wang, she smiled sweetly and turned back to look at the phoenix lanterns.
She was very curious as to why the shadow of the phoenix lantern could turn into a phoenix. Sister Xiao Wang said that 999 phoenix lanterns would be set off tonight. They would fly in the night sky and they would be more beautiful than the stars.
She likes to look at the stars very much and doesn’t know what scenery is more beautiful than the stars. So she is looking forward to it.
Children are always prone to get addicted to the things they like. She looked carefully and didn't notice that her brother had disappeared into the crowd.

…
On New Year's Eve in the year 3918 of the Daoist calendar, the Western Region was not peaceful.
This is especially true for the Yong people who were invaded by foreign enemies.
No one in the entire Yong Kingdom, from the ruler and officials to the common people, had ever imagined that one day the weak Zhuang Kingdom would come knocking on their door.
Many Yong people firmly believe that Zhuang is just a small branch of their country that broke away and will be taken back sooner or later. When it will be taken back depends on when Yong Ting makes up his mind. Even though Zhuang has actually established three
For more than a hundred years, many Yong people still do not recognize Zhuang as an independent country.
So when Zhuang Guo brazenly launched a national war, many people did not believe it was true and thought it was a rumor.
However, the fact is that in the early morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the forward troops of Zhuang State had already defeated the frontier troops of Yong State stationed in the Qichang Mountains and entered Lingbei Prefecture.
That night, New Year's Eve of the year 3918 in the Dao calendar, the entire defense network of Lingbei Prefecture had been broken, and the army marched into Yiyang Prefecture. It was an overwhelming force!
Yongguo's British Gongbei Gongyu took command and went out to fight. He was about to attack the Zhuang army head-on and drive the Zhuang army back to the south of the Qichang Mountains. However, he led the army to turn around halfway.
Because the army of the Luo Kingdom came west and joined forces with the Qingjiang Water Mansion of the Zhuang Kingdom, the Lanhe Water Mansion was immediately in danger!
Zhuang Guo had already secretly reached an agreement with Luo Guo, and even persuaded the Qingjiang Water Mansion to join forces with Luo Guo's navy, which was notorious among the Shui Tribe.
What's even more frightening is that the Jing Kingdom in the northern region, which Yong Kingdom has always been most vigilant about, has also taken action. The Red Horse Guards, ranked seventh among the top ten cavalry armies in the world, have come north!
Zhuang's army defeated Lingbei Prefecture, an important town in the southern part of the Yong Kingdom. As if it had announced some kind of signal, a war broke out across the entire front, with Jing and Luo sending troops one after another.
One day ago, Yong State was still a long-established power in the west, and it once went north to compete with Jing State for hegemony. Now, although it cannot be compared with countries like Qin and Jing, small countries like Wei Lingzhuang and Chen are still common.
But in just one day, the situation suddenly changed and the country was in danger of overthrow!
At this time, Han Yin, the Supreme Emperor of the Yong Kingdom, broke through the barrier, put on his armor personally, and left the Tianming Mansion alone. He wanted to see the king as a king, and the war village was envied by Yiyang Mansion.
Everyone knows that the current leader of the Yong Kingdom, Han Yan, is a puppet in name only. The supreme power of the entire Yong Kingdom has always been in the hands of the Supreme Emperor Han Yin.
Qi Maoxian, the Prime Minister of the Yong Kingdom, personally sat in Jing'an Mansion to welcome the possible military front from the Jing Kingdom.
Jing'an Prefecture is an important military town in the northern part of Yong State, and it has always been a defense line built with Jing State as the imaginary enemy. Although the Red Horse Guards are famous throughout the world, Qi Maoxian relies on the heavily fortified city of Jing'an Prefecture and is definitely capable of fighting.
The Yong Kingdom has a profound foundation. The Prime Minister Qi Maoxian resisted the Red Horse Guards in the north, the British Gongbei Gong Yuchi aided the Lanhe Water Mansion, and defeated the combined naval forces of the Luo Kingdom and Qingjiang Water Mansion in the west.
Both Jing and Luo sent only one army. Only Zhuang fought with the whole country.
The key to the victory or defeat of this national war suddenly fell on Yiyang Mansion.
Han Yin, the Supreme Emperor of the Yong Kingdom, was a figure of the same era as Zhuang Chengqian, the Taizu of the Zhuang Kingdom.
More than three hundred years ago, the heroic leader of the Yong Kingdom, Han Zhou, died in battle, and the prince died mysteriously in the East Palace. What followed was the "three kings seizing the throne." A war broke out between the three kings, and the Yong Kingdom, which was already severely weakened, was even more...
As a result, it was chaotic and dilapidated. However, it was not any one of the three kings who finally ascended to the throne.
It is said that the subjects of the Yong Kingdom felt that the three kings were attacking each other, regardless of the people's livelihood, and causing great chaos in the Yong Kingdom. They believed that they were not the masters of the Ming Dynasty, so they supported Han Zhou's younger brother to succeed to the throne, that is, Han Yin.
Han Yin sat on the dragon throne in the Tianming Mansion and personally led the troops. In just one year, he defeated the three kings one by one, completely took control of the military and political power of Yong State, and stabilized the precarious situation of Yong State.
He even repelled the invasion of Jing Kingdom!
He is regarded as the wise king who turned the tide, and his popularity is on par with that of Han Zhou, the hero of the generation.
Then, bringing the power of Dingding to the world, he came south to Pingzhuang to rebel.
In that battle, Zhuang Chengqian personally guarded the Qichang Mountains, refusing to give in an inch and resisting Yong's attack. Qingjiang Water Mansion, which had made an alliance with Zhuang Chengqian, under the leadership of Song Hengjiang, fought with all their clans and killed Lan.
He Ranchi opened up a first-line situation for Zhuang Guo.
After that, Zhuang Guo joined the Dao Kingdom, received a certain degree of protection, and became a nail for Jing Guo to insert into the western border. This is all a story later.
The failure to "pacify" the Zhuang land and allow the continuation of the Zhuang state was also an important reason why Han Yin failed to surpass Han Zhou in the hearts of many people. After all, Zhuang Chengqian was just a general under Han Zhou, and he acted honestly while Han Zhou was alive.
, worked hard without complaint. However, Han Yin failed to defeat Zhuang Chengqian.
It can be said that Zhuang Guo is the nail that drives the deepest into Han Yin's heart.
But this time, it was Han Yin who pulled out the thorn in his eye and the nail in his flesh, or it was Zhuang Gaoxian who inherited Taizu's ambition and succeeded in counterattacking Qiang Yong.
It's all in the battle of Yiyang Mansion.
