How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 691 Flying Lantern

The wise teacher signaled his hall to follow him, and the two walked to an open area in the military camp. Around the edge of this open area, a large amount of grain and grass that had been transferred from the original place was piled up here.

The eyes of Mangjun Temple were fixed on these grains and grasses, because they were very large and occupied a large area, making them the most conspicuous pile.

But Mang Jundian quickly realized that he was wrong. He saw the wise teacher leading him to the center of the open area instead of the edge, which meant that what the wise teacher was going to show him next had nothing to do with the urgently transferred food and grass. .

There are a lot of sundries piled up in the center, most of which are wooden carrying carts. Of course, it is impossible to rely on manpower to quickly transfer food and grass in a short period of time. That is unrealistic, so tools are needed.

Under the puzzled eyes of Mangjun Temple, Master Zhi struggled to pull out an object that was also wooden from the piled wooden carts.

It is a wooden frame, the volume of which is equivalent to four wooden carts. The wooden frame is in the shape of a cube, with four iron sticks extending vertically upwards, and interlaced at the top to form a whole, with a bowl placed on the top shaped metal structure.

"This is what I'm showing you, Flying Lantern."

The wise master of the mang army introduced to his palace the things he had dragged out with great effort.

"Flying lights?"

The mang army hall looked at the thing in front of him strangely, but he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this thing was. It felt like an ordinary wooden frame, and it was the first time he had heard the word 'flying lantern'.

But Mang Jundian was not stupid. Hearing the name 'Flying Lantern', combined with his wise teacher's previous words, he easily thought that this thing was related to Feitian, so he went around a few more times and observed it carefully.

However, the final result is that nothing can be seen. If you want to talk about flying, this wooden frame has no wings for flying. It is hard to imagine that this thing can fly in the palace. If it is not your own wise teacher but someone else, Mang The military hall will even become angry, thinking that the man is cheating him.

"Can this thing fly?" Mang Jundian looked at his wise teacher in doubt.

"It can fly, but not yet, just like its name, it needs to be turned into a burning lamp before it can fly."

The wise teacher gave a firm answer, but what he got in return was doubts from Mangjun Palace. Even though he had great trust in his wise teacher, what the other party said really challenged his common sense.

"Flying? How is this possible? This is just an ordinary wooden frame. I have never seen a wooden frame that can go up to the sky since I was born. Bo Tao, you and I have known each other for so long. I hate being deceived the most. What do you want?" Think clearly about the consequences." Mang Jundian's words had a hint of unkindness, and he even called out the wise teacher's name directly.

Mang Jundian is in a high position, what he hates most is being fooled by his own subordinates. In his opinion, such subordinates are restless people. When he is young, he likes to be smart, but when he is old, he just doesn’t listen to him. Threatening him, so this kind of people will be executed one by one.

The wise teacher has been with him for a long time, and has made a lot of contributions to him. Because of his affection, the Mang army palace is not willing to execute the wise teacher, so there is this warning.

Mang Jundian thought that Zhishi wanted to deceive him to balance his fear after seeing the beast, and it was a well-intentioned lie, but even so he would feel disgusted.

This is somewhat taken for granted, but it is mainly because of the cognition of the mang army hall that 'flying' belongs to the relationship between the ability of gods. According to his thinking, how can mortals go to heaven? Mortals are not gods.

"Don't worry, my lord. This wooden frame is only a part. It needs to be matched with a semi-circular cover made of three big drum skins. A brazier is placed under the semi-circular cover. The basin is filled with fuel oil. As long as the brazier is lit, people Sitting in a wooden frame, you can fly into the sky."

"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, His Highness can try it with me and speak with facts. If I deceive you, you will punish me. I have absolutely no complaints."

Looking at such a serious wise teacher, Mang Jundian couldn't help but wonder, could mortals really be able to fly into the sky? With Zhishi's ingenuity, it should be impossible not to know what kind of person he hates the most.

After hesitating for a while, His Majesty Mangjun agreed.

"...Okay, I want to see how this flying lantern flies."

After all, Mangjun Palace has already begun to think about how to punish the wise teacher. Although he answered, it was only out of trust in the wise teacher. Subjectively, he still does not believe that a wooden frame without wings can fly into the sky.

Zhishi got busy, he fastened the hemispherical cover and the wooden frame, and then there was the brazier and fuel oil, and then tied a circle of sandbags around the edge of the wooden frame.

The sandbags were quite heavy, and the mang army hall, who was watching Zhishi busy, could clearly hear the other party's heavy breathing.

After doing everything well, Zhi Shi did not rush to ignite the fire to prove to Mang Jundian that this thing can fly, but checked all the details several times.

After about a few hours, Zhishi invited Mang Jundian to enter the wooden frame.

The space inside the wooden frame can accommodate four people, and Mang Jundian and Zhi Shi don't feel crowded when they enter it.

Zhishi lit the brazier above them, and the flames above could be seen from the Mang Army Hall in the wooden frame.

As time went by, Mang Jundian saw that the hemispherical sleeve made of three large drum skins actually swelled up slowly, and finally it was completely swollen and plump.

Then, he saw that Zhishi untied all the sandbags tied on the wooden frame, and felt a slight recoil brought by the rise in the mang army hall. He looked at the ground farther and farther outside the wooden frame in amazement, and said no Speak up.

After being dazed for a long time, the mang army hall turned his head to look at the wise teacher in astonishment, even his eyes changed, and his voice trembled a little.

"This...is this really flying?!"

The soldiers on the ground looked at the flying lanterns that were rising higher and higher in amazement. From the mang army hall, soldiers and generals on the ground could be seen pointing at the flying lanterns, chattering about something, some far away, he couldn't hear clearly.

Now it is about 50 or 60 meters from the ground, and the height is not very high, but Mang Jundian is already scared. It is his first time to fly into the sky. This kind of thing that his feet are off the ground not only affects his physiology, but also affects his body. In his psychology, after the initial sense of surprise receded, all that remained was fear.

"Master Zhi, how do we go down now?"

Mang Jundian asked the wise teacher, just as he couldn't understand how a wooden frame without wings flew into the sky, and now he couldn't understand how to descend.

"It's very simple to go down, just turn down the fire, and the flying lantern will fall naturally."

After speaking, Zhishi reached out to the upper brazier. There was a rotary valve on one side of the brazier. With the rotation of Zhishi, the spout above the brazier shrank, and the shrinking of the spout caused the released flame to drop.

As the hot air in the hemispherical cover gradually dissipates, the height of the flying lights is also slowly decreasing.
