At this time, everyone in the lantern eaves corridor walked out and joined the crowd of people interacting with the lion dance team in the square. Only Zhu Youjian and Xu Minger who did not like the crowd, as well as Gao Sheng Gaohan and Yu Dachuan who stayed beside Zhu Youjian to protect him.

The three lions, one big and two young, and the shamans who danced hydrangeas were crowded there by the crowd.

Except for Guo Lai and his subordinate who were a little tired of being harassed, others have to experience this kind of situation every year. They have long been used to it, and they have fun with it. They are also the joy of lion dancing.

Guo Lai and his two men, who wanted to use the lion dance team to cover up their appearance and take the opportunity to complete the task, would be difficult to move a place away.

The two Jurchens squeezed for a long time and finally got together. Guo Lai whispered to the subordinate: I have to find a way to get out. Then Zhu Youjian was there to put on the lanterns. If he didn't do it, he would probably have no chance.

Another man felt a little angry when he heard this. He was deeply persecuted by the onlookers and had long wanted to leave the lion team. At this time, a lot of the lions and fur on his body were pulled away by the onlookers.

As the two were talking, the little lion felt someone reaching out to touch it again. He used the method he had used to deal with the child before, turned around suddenly, the lion's mouth wide open, and a fierce sound was made in his mouth.

The person who wanted to touch the lion was also shocked to see this and gave in.

When the Jurchen saw that this method was effective not only for children but also for adults, he controlled the lion's head and threatened the surroundings, and a small area was empty around him.

At first, this move was quite effective, but after doing this, it felt like a little tricky, and the people who were intimidated by him became even happier.

If Lai saw that he could not delay like this, at this time, there was only a musket behind the little lion on his body, but it was impossible to use it in this situation. He was waving a hydrangea, as if he was preparing to perform a lion. In this way, the surrounding spectators immediately gave him a space.

The little lion quickly realized Guo Lai's movements, and he also danced with Guo Lai's hydrangea.

While waving the hydrangea, Guo Lai moved to a store selling incense and candles. The gunpowder they had prepared before gave the store some silver to store there. The two of them slowly headed towards the store, gradually getting farther from the center of the square, and the crowd around them was not as crowded as before. If they encountered an unreasonable way to move forward, Guo Lai used some tricks to push the person blocking the road away.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the shop. The shopkeeper was excited when he saw the shaman and the little lion dancing with hydrangea, and the people who were in charge of this performance of rewarding the gods always felt that they could be blessed.

When Lai saw that the shopkeeper was afraid of attracting the crowd again, he quickly took off his shaman mask and said: "It's me who is the shopkeeper, I'll pick up the lanterns I've put here before."

The shopkeeper saw Guo Lai take off his mask and realized that he was getting something. He turned around and took out the lantern stored by Guo Lai from the store and handed it over and said: It turns out that objectively is a lion dancer. The old man really doesn't know Mount Tai. Is this lantern used only to reward the gods? No wonder it feels so heavy.

Isn't there a 50 kilogram of gunpowder hidden in the big lantern very heavy? But Guo Lai didn't tell him, but just said: It's for the reward for God, and we still have something to do, so we won't disturb you much.

After saying that, the two turned around and left.

Guo Lai and his two dresses were originally intended to cover up their identity, but at this time they felt that they had become a burden. They did not dare to go back to the center of the square, but hid behind the row of incense and candle shops, waiting for the lion dance team to leave, and the crowded people in the square disperse before taking action.

After about a quarter of an hour, the lion dance team should have left long ago. The reason why they had not left was because they disappeared. However, after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see anyone. These people lost their patience to wait. Originally, the two were not from the lion dance team, and they left after leaving. However, the two still carried the lion dance team's hydrangea and lion head. However, with the silver they gave before, even if the two really took the lion head and hydrangea away, it would be more than enough.

It was not until the lion team left the square and returned to the theater, and the people in the square saw that there was no longer any fun and good looks, and they gradually dispersed.

Seeing that there were fewer people in the square, Guo Lai explained to the subordinate a few times.

Then he took the lantern and walked along the few places toward the lantern eaves.

At this time, the performance of the great theater rewards the gods has ended, and at this time several theaters are being staged.

There will be no one to answer questions in the lantern eaves corridor, but the young man guarding the door still stood there. According to the rules of previous years, he could not remove the lanterns until midnight.

After the lion dance team left, the group of people who went to the square to watch the lion dance returned to the Lantern Eaves Gallery. Not only was the beautiful, but the others in the Zhu family were also quite curious about the things on the temple street and wanted to go for a walk, but Zhu Youjian was unwilling to squeeze in on the temple street. So he greeted them and stayed in the Lantern Eaves Gallery for them. He agreed to meet here after visiting.

Just after a group of people from Zhu's mansion entered the temple street, Guo Lai also brought a shaman mask to the entrance of the lantern eaves corridor. The young man guarding the gate looked at the lion dance wearing the shaman wizard mask and was carrying the lantern that was exactly the same as the one on the lantern eaves corridor. He asked curiously: What is the statement of the lantern in your hands?

Guo Lai handed over the lantern in his hand and said: This lantern is a lantern we receive to pray for Gods and pray for blessings. The light has been bloomed in the temple of the Queen Mother, and we are grateful to me for providing lanterns for viewing and watching operas every year. I specially presented this lantern and asked me to hang the lanterns together.

When the young man heard this, he felt very happy and thanked him. Then he quickly took the lantern. As soon as he started, the gatekeeper felt that his hand had sunk and almost fell to the ground.

The young man was curious and asked: Why are everyone's lanterns so heavy?

Guo Lai said: Of course, the lanterns that the Empress gave blessings are not comparable to ordinary lanterns, and it is better to be slightly heavier.

The young man nodded with consent, and then asked: What does the firecrackers hanging under the lantern mean?

Guo Lai smiled and said: After the guy hangs the lantern, he will ignite the firecracker, which means that he would bless the empress. It means that the year is prosperous. Don’t delay it. Hang the lantern as soon as possible. When the firecrackers burn out, the guy will see the fire trees and silver flowers all over the sky.

At this time, only Zhu Youjian, Xu Minger and Yu Dachuan were left in the lantern eaves corridor. Xu Minger was unwilling to squeeze in on the street, but Xu Erjue was still excited to guide everyone.

Yu Dachuan rarely gets interested in anything since he revenges. His goal for the rest of his life is to follow Zhu Youjian to protect his safety.

Zhu Youjian sat in the lantern eaves and looked at the shaman wizard outside talking to the young gatekeeper. When he saw the shaman in the big theater, he always felt that he had heard of it somewhere. Now when he saw it up close, he felt a little more intense in his heart. It seemed that this matter was very important, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.

At this time, the young man guarding the door outside the door had moved a ladder to hang the lantern. Because the lantern was too heavy, the bamboo pole used to hang lanterns before was not enough, so he could only climb up and hang it on himself.

Xu Ming'er looked at Zhu Youjian lowered her head and frowned as if she was thinking hard about something. She couldn't help but ask curiously: What are Brother Zhu thinking?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian raised his head and said: I always feel like I have heard of this shaman, but I can't remember it no matter how hard I think about it.

Xu Ming'er smiled and said: Brother Zhu knows a lot about his blog, and it is normal that he can't remember some trivial things occasionally. This shaman wizard is rare in our clear sense, because very few people believe in shamans, but shaman wizards are very popular in the Jianzhou Jurchens, and most Jurchens believe in shamans.

When he heard Xu Ming'er's words, Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered and heard it there. This was what he heard in the TV series XX Princess adapted from Aunt Qiong Yao when he was a child. The TV series is replayed several times on the toilet station every summer vacation. No wonder he felt familiar and didn't remember it for a while.

Zhu Youjian muttered two Jurchen shamans, and then said with some confusion: How could the shaman wizard appear in the lion dance team? Shouldn’t the hydrangea dancer be a martial artist?

Xu Ming'er said: I'm also very surprised. It's really a bit inappropriate to appear in the lion dance team.

At this time, the young man guarding the gate had already hung the lantern and was about to thank the shaman again, but when he turned around, he saw that the shaman had already walked away.

Zhu Youjian had some bad premonition, so he stood up and went out of the lantern eaves to uncover the shaman's mask to see what happened. But when he chased him out, the shaman had already disappeared.

The group has gone far away.

Since the person had left, Zhu Youjian didn't worry and was about to go back to the lantern eaves and sat and waited for everyone to come back after strolling.

Just as he was about to enter, he saw the young man guarding the gate holding a fire note in his hand to light firecrackers hanging under the lanterns.

Zhu Youjian said curiously: What are you going to do?

The young man replied excitedly when he heard this: This lantern was given by the temple when the lion dance team rewarded the gods and prayed for blessings, saying that the empress had opened the light and given blessings.

Zhu Youjian smiled disapprovingly and said: This Empress Temple is not a temple, so how can one say consecrate?

The young man said unhappy when he heard this: Young Master, don’t talk nonsense and hit the Empress. This lantern was handed to me by the shaman wizard. If you want to say that the lantern that has been opened and given blessings is different. If you hold it in your hand, you will feel much heavier than an ordinary lantern.

Zhu Youjian continued to walk inside and said: It's a guy, do you think it's heavy?

This is not what I said nonsense. The lantern is dozens of kilograms in my hand. I didn’t see that I couldn’t even hang it with a bamboo pole, so I moved the ladder to hang it.

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned around and asked: Are you saying that the lantern was handed over to you by the shaman wizard? How many pounds weigh?

The young man said proudly: Isn't it? The shaman said that he gave us lanterns first to thank us for the use of lanterns for viewing every year. He also specifically told me to light the firecrackers, saying that when the firecrackers were burning out, you could see the fire trees and silver flowers in the sky. After that, the young man lit the firecrackers with the firebrands in his hand.

Zhu Youjian realized something when he heard the gatekeeper finish his words. He ran a few steps and reached out to tear off the firecrackers hanging under the lanterns. However, before he touched the firecrackers, he was stopped by the young man and said angrily: What are you doing?

The sound of firecrackers crackling in his ears, and Zhu Youjian shouted: Get out of the way, there is gunpowder in the lantern.

But his voice was covered by the sound of firecrackers. The young man couldn't hear it clearly. What were you saying?

Zhu Youjian saw that the firecrackers had been half burned and wanted to pull them again, but with his height, he could no longer touch them. So he threw away the gatekeeper's hand and shouted, "There is gunpowder, run quickly." He turned around and ran to the lantern eaves corridor.

Zhu Youjian shouted out, and the young man guarding the gate and the people in the square were still stunned when they heard it, but Yu Dachuan in the eaves heard it clearly. He had already believed Zhu Youjian's words without reservation. He pulled Xu Ming'er up and seemed to run out. Zhu Youjian saw that the two of them wanted to run out, so he shouted, and it was too late to jump down.

At this time, Zhu Youjian had already run to Yu Dachuan and Xu Minger. Before Xu Minger could react to what had happened, Yu Dachuan reached out and held Zhu Youjian and Xu Minger in his arms with one hand, turned around and jumped over the stone railing outside the lantern eaves corridor and jumped away from outside.

The stone railing was nearly ten feet high from the ground on the main street below. Yu Dachuan hugged the two of them and jumped downwards. Xu Ming'er didn't understand why, and looked at the dark heads below and closed her eyes in frightened.

The three of them jumped and knocked down a whole lot of people. Fortunately, there were people below, otherwise the faces of the three of them would have been smoothed out by the ground.

Yu Dachuan protected Zhu Youjian and Xu Minger, and there were several passers-by who had been smashed under him. The three of them had no time to get up. The people who were smashed opened their mouths and were about to scold him when they heard a loud bang of the lantern eaves beside the square above, and the fires soared into the sky. Even under the stone railings, the people on the temple street suddenly felt a wave of air coming. Then, those closer to the square were overturned by air waves. The gunpowder was so powerful that even the stage of the large theater ten feet away opposite was shaken.

After the air wave, the lantern eaves that were blown up and the broken stones in the square were smashed down, and the temple street under the stone railings were buried.

A little far away from the main street of Dongba, I heard the Queen making a loud noise. When I looked back, I saw the flames in front of the temple soaring into the sky.

The people who were not affected by the explosion did not know what happened at the moment, but those in the Zhu Mansion who followed Xu Erjue to visit the temple fair were as if they were surging in the scene in front of the temple. When they saw the scene in front of the temple, they felt like waves and were furious. Everyone did not care about the crowded crowd on the street, and tried their best to push the people blocking the road toward the Niangniang Temple.
