The main venue of the lantern competition is located on the open space in front of the Tang family hall.
Tang Yixien was on the judges' podium, while the three little ones went to help Yun Zichu.
The participating disciples have roughly lined up in several rows and are standing on the stage.
On the stage opposite Tang Yixin, the lanterns that eventually made it to the finals were placed.
The dark night makes the lanterns on the stage even more dazzling.
The beautiful rabbit lantern is white, tender and cute.
The pig lanterns are cute, and of course there are also dragon lanterns and phoenix lanterns.
Tang Yixin looked at the phoenix lantern, its long red tail sparkling brightly, but he always felt that it was not as beautiful as Xuan Yuran's.
Overall, Tang Yixin was glad that Bi Lingfeng did not participate in this lantern competition.
At this time, he was still holding the goldfish lantern that Jin Xiaoxiao gave him.
"Young Master, are you holding this goldfish lantern like this?"
Yun Zichu saw the lantern in Tang Yixin's hand and asked with her peach blossom eyes shining slightly.
"What do you mean?" Tang Yixien asked in a confused voice.
"Young Master, you may not know that the goldfish lantern sounds like gold and jade, which represents a perfect match. Traditionally, it is given to loved ones to express love."
Yun Zichu just remembered the traditional customs of Yuanzhi Continent when Xiao Yan mentioned it.
Tang Yixin suddenly understood. No wonder Elder Ye smiled meaningfully when he saw him and the lantern in his hand today.
Yun Zichu saw a flash of surprise on Tang Yixian's handsome face, and knew that he was not aware of the situation.
This is not surprising, as those who know this tradition are all from the older generation.
Yun Zichu quickly calmed down and said:
"Very few young people know the meaning of this. The one who gave this lantern to the young master must be a disciple from a prominent family."
Jin Xiaoxiao's parents are very loving. Every year, her father gives her mother a goldfish lantern, which is a token of their love.
Jin Xiaoxiao naturally knew about it, but he was certain that his master certainly didn't know about it.
He looked at his master holding the goldfish lantern he had given him, and his heart was filled with joy, as if the winter wind had become warmer.
At this time, Xiao Yan walked over. When Yun Zichu saw Xiao Yan, his eyes softened for a moment. After the two of them saluted, they walked away to go about their business.
Not long after, Yun Zichu also had a goldfish lantern in his hand.
The young master of the Tang family was holding a goldfish lantern in his hand. The lantern was shining brightly, looking cool and elegant.
In a short while, the Tang family's house was filled with goldfish lanterns, which became a popular item praised by the disciples.
The lantern competition is over, and the first place winner is a huge cloud lantern made by a disciple.
The curling cloud pattern is a traditional lantern pattern. It can be seen that the average age of the judges is over 100 years old.
The prize for the third place was a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, which was said to be made by a famous artist. The winning disciple held the prize excitedly.
The second prize was a sword tassel, which was previously a treasured possession of Lord Tang. The disciple was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
The disciple who won first place was even more excited at this time, with a look of anticipation on his face.
I heard that the first prize is very mysterious.
But when he knew what the prize was, the smile on his face froze again and again, and finally remained frozen.
The first prize is a chance to have lunch with Elder Ye.
Tang Yixien looked at the disciple's expression and wished that the lantern had rotted in his hands.
While having lunch together, Elder Ye thought that his disciples all wanted to have a chance to ask him some training techniques.
In fact, no disciple thought about it.
Amidst all the laughter and no laughter, the Lantern Festival became lively.
This may be the purpose of holding this competition, which is nothing more than to bring joy to the world and make it lively.
In this lantern competition, the most eye-catching thing was the goldfish lantern in Tang Yixin's hand.
The long-forgotten tradition of expressing love through lanterns in Yuanzhi Continent was brought back to life by Tang Yixin.
Later, almost every disciple had a goldfish lantern.
The Lantern Festival lasts for three days.
The lantern vendors in the town at the foot of Tangjia Mountain started making goldfish lanterns overnight and were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
On the way back at night, Tang Yixin was holding the goldfish lantern in his hand. He already knew the meaning and felt that the lantern was heavier than before.
"Master, if you don't like it, there's no need to mention it." Jin Xiaoxiao said politely, lowering her eyes.
"It's okay." Tang Yixian said calmly.
He has been carrying it for the whole night. He can't just throw away Jin Xiaoxiao's kindness just because of this, right?
"Mr. Jin, don't tell me you don't know the meaning of the goldfish lantern." Sheng Qingye cast a sharp gaze at Jin Xiaoxiao.
He also heard the meaning of the goldfish lantern, and was so angry that he bit his back teeth, hating himself for not being able to make it.
Sheng Qingye is different now. If it were before, he would have snatched the lantern and crushed it.
Although he wanted to do so now, he resisted the urge to do so.
Seeing that Tang Yixien didn't let go and kept holding the lantern all the way, Jin Xiaoxiao felt so warm and happy that she didn't listen to what Sheng Qingye said at all.
No one can understand the feeling of having a loved one secretly carrying your feelings with you all the way.
Xuan Yuran thought his handicraft was pretty good, so he decided to go back and make a goldfish lantern as a gift for his master.
In this way, the few of them walked all the way back to Biling Peak.
Tang Yixin walked back to his inner room carrying the lantern. After sitting down, he held the lantern in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Upon closer inspection, it is truly exquisitely crafted. The goldfish's vivid tail sways from side to side, with silk thread wrapped around it, and golden shimmering mica sheets pasted on the finest transparent rice paper.
What Tang Yixin didn't know was that the keel of the goldfish lantern was made of very fine gold thread. The gold was soft in texture and easier to shape, but it was a little heavy.
This is a real goldfish lantern, very valuable. Jin Xiaoxiao feels that it is worthy of her master.
It was already night, and Tang Yixin planned to blow out the lanterns, hang them up, and prepare to rest.
But just as he extinguished the candle on the lantern, a red note suddenly appeared under the lantern.
Tang Yixien's eyes flashed.
Note?
How come there is a mechanism here?
Tang Yixien tore off the note and slowly unfolded it. It said, "See you at the old place, in the back mountain."
This elegant and graceful handwriting is obviously Jin Xiaoxiao's.
Tang Yixian's heart inexplicably beat faster for a moment.
Is there something wrong with Jin Xiaoxiao's health?
Or is it news from the demon clan?
Tang Yixien was worried and immediately got up and went to the back mountain.
He and Jin Xiaoxiao had met in the back mountain for various reasons.
The back mountain is as quiet as before, as if it is isolated from the world.
Tang Yixien was anxious, and walked quickly with his head down, until he saw Huo Lianghua appearing in the air ahead.
From afar, the colorful halo dyed the inky black sky, as if golden dye had flowed into the black ink.
Tang Yixin walked closer, and in front of him was a tree full of bright and colorful lanterns, some in the shape of goldfish and some in regular circles, dotted on the tree.
It looks magnificent and dazzling.
