Tao Chengdao suddenly blocked Han Du's hand, raised his finger and cursed angrily: "Don't even think about it! What I have dreamed of all my life is to fly to the sky. Now that I finally have the opportunity, how can I give it to you?"
"Wanhu, this hot air balloon is also very dangerous. You are quite old, can you please stop making trouble?" Seeing Tao Chengdao being so persistent, Han Du could only continue to persuade with a wry smile.
Tao Chengdao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted sternly: "Who is making trouble with you? Since you said this thing is dangerous, you should also come down. If you, the majestic Marquis of Zhenhai, have something wrong with you, what should you do?"
Since Han Du stopped him and refused to let him in, Tao Chengdao simply did the opposite and took Han Du's arm to pull him out.
"Wanhu, can you please stop making trouble?" Han Du smiled bitterly and struggled twice, but could not break free from Tao Chengdao's hand.
He had no choice but to say: "I know this thing better than anyone else. It's safer for me to try it than for others, right?"
Tao Chengdao took advantage of Han Du's resistance and took advantage of the situation and jumped into the hanging basket. He said: "That's just right. Feitian will definitely go smoothly with you by my side. What are you looking at? Hurry up and do it. I didn't see it.
The emperor and the people have been waiting for so long with their necks stretched out?"
Lao Zhu didn't think too much when Tao Chengdao followed Han Du towards the hot air balloon. This time Han Du didn't tell Lao Zhu how he flew into the sky, so Lao Zhu thought that Tao Chengdao was originally with Han Du.
Of.
When Tao Chengdao and Han Du started to give in, because they were too far away, everyone didn't know what the two were doing and thought they were discussing.
When Han Du saw Tao Chengdao jumping in, he sat down on the sandbag, put his hands through the hollow of the rattan hanging basket, crossed each other and hugged each other tightly. He looked at Han Du with a wary face, afraid that Han Du
Du went over and forced him out.
Seeing that Tao Chengdao's attitude was so resolute, and that it was really inappropriate to argue with Tao Chengdao at a time when the emperor and all the people were waiting eagerly for him, Han Du had no choice but to let him go with him.
Han Du opened the spout, rotated the winch, and began to apply pressure to the watering can. At the same time, he took out the fire stick with his other hand, opened it, blew on the fire stick to ignite it, and placed it at the spout.
Just a few breaths later, there was a muffled "bang" sound from the flames, and the flames at the nozzle rose up to a foot high.
"Wow"
The emperor and officials in the inner court had no reaction, but the common people in the outer court suddenly erupted into a burst of noise. Such a big flame suddenly burst out, which really shocked them, but at the same time, it also made the common people feel more excited.
This is not over yet, as Han Du continues to rotate the winch, the flames from the nozzle continue to grow taller.
One foot, two feet, three feet, four feet, five feet. The flames increased to a full five feet before stopping.
Inside the shriveled hot air balloon, it was as if a pair of giant hands were turning over it, gradually holding it up.
When the hot air balloon is filled, the entire sphere will appear rounded at the top and pointed at the bottom.
When the hot air balloon was filled and showed its true appearance, the entire campus was silent. Even Lao Zhu couldn't help but stood up and stared in amazement.
Because what was displayed in front of everyone was a behemoth that was six feet high and four feet in diameter. The tallest building in the capital was the Seafood Building, with a total of five floors, but it was only four feet high.
In other words, the behemoth in front of you is bigger than a tall building.
When people see a behemoth, they will always feel fear involuntarily, especially when the behemoth can fly in the sky, this fear becomes more obvious.
What is shown is that the people who just needed the army to maintain order now can't help but take two steps back. Moreover, there are so many people in the university grounds, and they retreat in an even order. This shows how shocked the hot air balloon is to the people.
Han Du controlled the oil switch and saw that the rope was stretched straight and even started to swing. Unable to free his hands, he quickly shouted to Tao Chengdao: "Throw the sandbag out quickly~"
Tao Chengdao was stunned when he heard this, and then he instantly let go of his hand and threw the sandbags one by one out of the hanging basket.
Although Lao Zhu saw something being thrown out of the hanging basket, he didn't pay attention to it.
As the weight of the hot air balloon decreases, the hot air balloon carries a hanging basket
Gradually it leaves the ground and really flies.
"Hahaha" Tao Chengdao saw that he was getting higher and higher from the ground. He was as excited as a child who had not grown up. He threw all the sandbags with all his energy.
When Han Du noticed that the hot air balloon was rising faster and faster, he lowered his head and realized what was going on. He asked blankly: "Why did you throw away all the sandbags?"
"Hahaha, the lighter this thing is, the faster it flies. Of course I have to throw away all the sandbags." Tao Chengdao became more and more excited as he watched it get higher and higher from the ground.
"But you threw away all the sandbags. If it flies too high, how can we get back?" Han Du asked sharply.
However, Tao Chengdao neither answered nor showed the slightest regret.
Han Du reacted immediately and said: "No, I will reduce the firepower immediately and let's go back."
"We have just started flying, and you are going back?" Tao Chengdao was immediately dissatisfied.
But Han Du doesn't care whether he is satisfied or not. How can his own safety be important whether he is satisfied or not? This is the first flight of a hot air balloon. I don't know if it is mature yet. Are there any problems? Of course, safety comes first.
.
Han Du said without hesitation: "Of course, I wasn't prepared to fly very high this time, so I put so many sandbags in the basket just to avoid flying too high all at once. The higher this thing flies, the higher it flies."
The more dangerous it is, and I haven’t lived enough, how can I seek death?”
However, Tao Chengdao became anxious when he saw Han Du lowering the flames. He stepped forward and pushed Han Du aside. He turned the winch hard and increased the firepower to the maximum.
The hot air balloon, whose speed had just weakened, once again rushed towards the sky out of thin air.
"What are you going to do?" Han Du was frightened and angry.
Tao Chengdao looked at the rising flames and the huge hot air balloon above the flames with excitement, and said without looking back: "How many years have I been waiting for this day? For so many years, I have long wanted to
Go to heaven and see, today you can finally get what you want, how can you give up halfway?"
Han Du was angry. This is not the way to seek death. Besides, you old man has lived enough and wants to die. You are still very young and want to continue living. How can you risk your life with you?
Han Du stepped forward and was about to pull Tao Chengdao away.
As soon as his hand touched Tao Chengdao, he said sternly: "If you dare to pull me away, I will jump from here.
When Han Du heard this, his expression suddenly froze and he did not dare to take action. Now the hot air balloon had flown dozens of meters high. If the old man really jumped, he would definitely die.
Seeing that Lai was too tough, Han Du had no choice but to persuade him in a soft tone: "Wanhu, why are you doing this? That's it for this time, let's go down first, and wait until next time to perfect this thing, let's fly again
Isn’t it the same?”
Tao Chengdao glanced at Han Du, shook his head and sighed: "You are still young, you can wait for the next time, or even the next time. You can take your time and take your time. But I can't wait any longer. I sleep every night now
I don't know if I can see the sun again the next day. If I continue to wait, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the scenery in the sky for the rest of my life. As long as I can see the scenery in the sky with my own eyes, I will be dead.
It’s worth it.”
You are worth it, but I am not! Han Du couldn't help but complain to Tao Chengdao, an old man. Even though he had calculated everything, he never expected that he would do something like this with him. He was forced to do so.
When there is no way out, we can only fight for our lives with him.
"Wanhu, there is nothing good to see in the sky. It is all water vapor, and there is not even a hair on it."
"How do you know?" Tao Chengdao immediately opened his eyes and stared at Han Du closely. If other people said this, Tao Chengdao would just laugh and not care at all, because he knew that the person who said this would definitely
It's bragging.
But when Han Du said this, he felt an inexplicable sense of trust in his heart, and he firmly believed that what Han Du said was true.
Han Du lowered his head, not knowing how to explain.
Tao Chengdao suddenly
He smiled and said, "Whether what you say is true or false, I will see it soon." After saying that, he ignored Han Du and turned his gaze to the sky.
Han Du lowered his head and looked at the figures on the ground. The house was getting smaller and smaller. First he saw the entire campus, and then he gradually couldn't distinguish the figures below. Even Lao Zhu, Han Du could only pass through that bright yellow point.
to distinguish.
Then the outline of the entire capital city appeared in his sight, with neat streets and houses lined up on the ground.
Zhongshan, Xuanwu Lake, the Yangtze River and the ships on the river. When Han Du saw wisps of clouds appearing in his sight, Han Du became alert. Tao Chengdao had already flown the hot air balloon into the clouds.
Lao Zhu on the ground watched the hot air balloon flying higher and higher. Although he had just been shocked by the hugeness of the hot air balloon, he still frowned. An Qing on the side saw the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, getting smaller and smaller, knowing that Han Du would
Staying on top. She suddenly felt uncomfortable that Han Du was about to leave him, and couldn't help turning her head towards Lao Zhu and calling softly: "Father, Han Du is leaving him."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu immediately ordered Jiang Wei beside him: "Send a fast horse immediately to chase after him."
"According to the decree."
But the people didn't think so much. They were all astonished to see such a huge creature that could fly without wings.
Some people even shouted: "It has ascended to heaven, it has really ascended to heaven!" Just when this person was inexplicably excited, he was instantly slapped on the back of the head.
"Who, who did it? Which bastard dares to beat us?" The man immediately turned around, his eyes as wide as bells, and he kept scanning the crowd, trying to find the person who had done something wrong to him. .??
.??
An old man with gray hair snorted and immediately responded: "I beat you, why don't you accept it?"
When the young man saw that it was an old man, he couldn't help but feel short of breath. He did not fight back or argue with the old man. Instead, he asked doubtfully: "Old man, we didn't offend you, why did you hit me?"
The Ming Dynasty founded the country based on filial piety and promoted respecting the old and loving the young. The old will naturally gain the respect of the young. Even if the old and young people in front of them do not know each other, even if the old man hits him first, the young people will not hit him.
mean.
But the old man was extremely arrogant. He didn't say anything about the beating, and he didn't show any kindness to the young man. He scolded: "I'm going to hit you. If you can't speak, just shut up that shit-spewing thing of yours. What?"
Called ascending to the sky? This is flying to the sky, a feat that no one has been able to achieve since ancient times. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you."
The young man reacted immediately. He was hit by the old man and threatened again, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he apologized to the old man with a smile and said: "The kid can't speak. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. It's Feitian, Feitian!"
The old man snorted, ignored him, and looked up in the sky for traces of the hot air balloon.
Seeing that the hot air balloon was only a small dot the size of a fingertip in sight, some people couldn't help but sigh and said: "You said that if it keeps flying like this, it won't really fly into the sky, right?"
"I don't know for sure. Maybe I can actually fly to the Heavenly Palace."
"If we really fly into the Heavenly Palace, wouldn't the Marquis of Zhenhai be able to see what the fairy looks like?"
"You kid, you only know how to watch fairies. Wouldn't it be better if you could pick a flat peach and bring it back? Wouldn't it be better to eat that thing and live forever?"
"Then Marquis Zhenhai should pick more. How can one be enough? At least a hundred."
"a thousand"
"Ten thousand"
At this time, the hot air balloon gradually flew into the clouds. The people suddenly exclaimed, "Look, it's really flying into the sky."
"No more, no more, it really flew up."
"Hey, no, why did it appear again?"
“Gone again”
Countless people were waiting eagerly, hoping to see the hot air balloon appear again. But this time, the hot air balloon did not appear, as if it had really flown into the palace of heaven.
"No more, I really flew into the heavenly palace!"
Compared with the excitement of the people, An Qing was about to cry. He grabbed Lao Zhu's arm tightly with both hands and said pitifully: "Father, Han Du is missing. Did he really fly to the heavenly palace? He
Will you come back again, and won’t you abandon your son?”
Lao Zhu sighed in his heart and thought to himself: If he dares to leave you on the ground, I will break his legs. But now that he has flown into the sky, I can't hit him even if I want to. Moreover, this
If there really is a heavenly palace in the world, after Han Du goes up there, will he come back again?
Lao Zhu didn't know what Han Du would choose, but if it were him, he would definitely not come back.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, he had a calm expression on his face and raised his hand to comfort him: "Don't worry, Han Du, you still don't understand? He can't let you go. Even if he goes to the Heavenly Palace, he will come back for you."
An Qing suddenly felt shy when he heard this, and his face became much better.
Han Du didn't know what was going on below, but now he was going crazy. The hot air balloon entered the clouds, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the water vapor stuck to his skin, making it wet and freezing.
"It's too cold, Wanhu, it's high enough, let's get down quickly."
Although Tao Chengdao was also shrouded in coldness, his fiery desire to fly overcame all the chills, and he used the firepower to the maximum to let the hot air balloon continue to fly upward without hesitation.
Han Du couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged Tao Chengdao, pleading: "Wanhu, even if I am begging you, let's go back quickly. There is really nothing in the sky, there is nothing to see at all."
Tao Chengdao's hair and eyebrows were covered with fine drops of water. He turned around to see Han Du and said: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half-ninety. People in the world are just like you who give up halfway and have too many wastes, so they can do nothing all day long.
.No matter how far it is, I will definitely fly to the sky this time."
After hearing this, Han Du had no choice but to curl up to reduce his heat loss. Tao Chengdao refused, what could Han Du do? You can't force him to jump out of the hanging basket at this time, right? Jumping from this height,
You really can't even find the scum.
Surrounded by a chaotic white color, the hot air balloon instantly broke free from the clouds and jumped out from under the sea of clouds.
The whole sky was bright, with a blue sky at the top, stars above, and surging clouds below. Handu could even see the clouds being disturbed by the impact of the hot air balloon.
The sun is high in the sky, casting thousands of golden rays of light, illuminating the entire sky.
Tao Chengdao looked at the scene in front of him, as if he couldn't get enough of it, and murmured to himself: "Is this heaven?"
Han Du squatted in the hanging basket, shivering from the cold, trembling and said angrily: "Yes, this is the sky, there is nothing. There is no heavenly palace, no Jade Emperor, no gods, and no fairies that mortals will never forget.
.It’s just such a vast expanse of whiteness and emptiness.”
Tao Chengdao lowered his head at this time, met Han Du's eyes, smiled and said, "How do you know there is nothing here?"
Han Du was stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to explain it to Tao Chengdao.
However, Tao Chengdao did not wait for Han Du to explain to him, and said casually, "You are not simple, you are not simple."
Then, he closed his eyes, loosened his hands, and fell down with weak legs.
Han Du turned around suddenly and shouted quickly: "Wanhu, what's wrong with you?"
He crawled over using his hands and feet and picked up Tao Chengdao.
"Ten thousand households, ten thousand households"
Han Du stretched out his hand to check the artery on Tao Chengdao's neck. He still had a pulse, but his skin was terrifyingly cold.
"Damn it, I asked you not to come up, but you have to come up. How can someone come up in the sky without being prepared?"
Han Du quickly took off his robe and wrapped it around Tao Chengdao.
Before Han Du could wrap up Tao Chengdao, everything around him became dark, and the surrounding area fell into white chaos.
Han Du quickly stood up, stretched out his hand to quickly rotate the winch, and turned on the firepower to the maximum. After the hot air balloon's falling speed stabilized, Han Du slowly reduced the fire power and allowed the hot air balloon to fall slowly.
