Chapter Seven, Guo Jing was already a Young Pioneer at that time

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Guo Jing sighed, "Zhuge Liang is truly a remarkable person"

Guo Jing looked at Jia Li Yu with a face full of curiosity. Jia Li Yu said: "If the lantern is sturdy enough and large enough, and then burns more pine resin to produce greater hot air, then the Kongming lantern can carry a person and fly, and we can ride the Kongming lantern to catch the white eagle"

Huang Rong clapped her hands in approval. Seeing that everyone was so engaged in the conversation, Jia Liyu also decided to show off a bit and said, "If we want to catch an eagle, I actually have a method."

Time has changed

Guo Jing continued, "This method was taught to me by a wise elder when I was in the desert. First, you need to remember four phrases, which are: 'When the mind is settled, emotions are forgotten; when the body is weak, energy flows; when the heart is dead, the spirit lives; when yang is abundant, yin diminishes.' Second brother, you should memorize these four phrases first"

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "We will not go to the battlefield"

The heart remains at ease

Guo Jing happily said: "Alright, we will accompany the third brother to have some food and drink."

Jia Liyu said: "We can create a Kongming lantern that can control its flight direction. Of course, even if we cannot ride them to catch white eagles, at least they can be used to transport soldiers for battles and sieges"

My horse is tied outside the mountain.

The reason why Jia Liyu mentions this is actually to provide a hint, because in the later part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Guo Jing encounters difficulties in entering the city while assisting Genghis Khan in the attack on Samarkand. Later, it was Huang Rong who, inspired by Ouyang Feng's self-rescue method, devised the strategy of "descending from the sky." Now, by explaining the principle of hot air balloons to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Jia Liyu hopes to offer them a clue.

Guo Jing was greatly surprised and asked, "Third brother, what is the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

This time, Huang Rong led the two to the largest restaurant in Zhangjiakou, Changqing Lou, which was entirely designed in the style of the grand taverns of the old Song Dynasty capital, Bianliang. Huang Rong did not order a large quantity of food and drink this time; she only requested four exquisite small dishes and a pot of Longjing tea. The three of them began to chat about various topics. Guo Jing mentioned the two white eagles he was raising, which made Huang Rong very envious. She said, "I will also go to Mongolia to catch two to play with another day."

Jia Liyu silently recited it several times and nodded, saying, "I have already memorized it"

What is a red scarf

Do you release sky lanterns

Huang Rong smiled and said, "You will get used to it."

... ...

Guo Jing hurriedly said: "This is easy to say, in the future I will have the opportunity to bring them to the Central Plains for you to get to know."

Jia Liyu suddenly clapped his hands and began to sing

... ...

Guo Jing lowered his head in silence, recalling that imposing and ambitious khan, uncertain whether he would ever step onto the battlefield again

My younger brother really likes your red horse

After Jiali Yu, Huang Rong, and Guo Jing became sworn siblings, they chatted and laughed for a while, all filled with immense joy. Suddenly, Huang Rong said, "My two elder brothers, I am hungry again"

"Second Brother, what do you think the Jianghu is?" Huang Rong asked Jia Liyu while leading the red horse.

Guo Jing nodded and said: "I know a method for breathing, sitting, walking, and sleeping, which I can teach to my second brother"

Guo Jing used himself as a benchmark, fearing that Jia Liyu might not remember, and specifically emphasized it several times. He also shared some problems he encountered during his training and the solutions he found. Jia Liyu couldn't help but feel a bit moved, especially upon seeing Guo Jing's sincere and earnest expression, which naturally fostered a sense of closeness. Guo Jing truly deserves to be a moral model, a contemporary red scarf. At that moment, he nodded and said, "Elder brother, I remember, thank you."

Huang Rong, comforted, broke into a smile, appearing somewhat embarrassed, then turned to ask Jia Liyu: "What about you, Second Brother?" Guo Jing also looked at Jia Liyu

After the three finished their meal and left Changqing Building, Huang Rong jokingly said, "Elder brother, you taught second brother a method for sleeping, may I also ask you for a similar treasure?"

The wind sings the heavenly melody

Guo Jing did not hesitate and said, "Alright, it shall be yours." Upon hearing this, Huang Rong was momentarily taken aback, and her eyes soon turned red as tears began to well up.

Guo Jing also nodded with a smile and said, "The eagle not only has an extremely fast flying speed, but its offensive capability is also very strong"

Huang Rong suddenly burst into tears, saying that she had no mother since childhood and that her father no longer wanted her. Guo Jing hurriedly comforted her with gentle words. Jia Liyu sat quietly beside them, saying nothing, but observing the two with great seriousness, increasingly convinced that they were indeed a match made in heaven, a perfect complement to each other. The intelligent and sensitive Huang Rong needed a great deal of security, while the honest and sincere Guo Jing could continuously provide that sense of security.

Huang Rong nodded and said, "When I was young, during the New Year, my father would make Kongming lanterns for me to play with"

... ...

Blow through my heart

"A hero and a horse," replied Jiali Yu, "of course, it would be even better if there were a beauty accompanying them"

Guo Jing presented the little red horse to Huang Rong, and the three of them then parted ways

The elder brother called out sincerely, and Guo Jing, feeling a bit embarrassed, said: "What are we being polite for among brothers?"

After chatting for a while, Guo Jing asked the two why they had run away from home. Huang Rong's expression darkened as she recounted the incident of being scolded by her father. Guo Jing casually inquired, "What about your mother?"

The love of that blue day

Because the elder brother is a Young Pioneer

Jia Liyu nodded in agreement and asked Huang Rong: "Does the third brother know how to make a Kongming lantern?"

Huang Rong smiled charmingly, remaining silent, her face revealing two patches of skin as white as jade, cleansed of the soot by the tears she had shed earlier

Guo Jing nodded and continued: "After remembering these four sentences, every time before sleeping, one must have a clear and tranquil mind, free of any thoughts. Then, lie on one's side, breathe softly, and ensure that the spirit does not wander internally, nor does the mind drift externally..."

The wind comes from the grassland

... ...

Blow my love

Guo Jing said, "I am afraid it won't be easy to catch them." Jia Li Yu replied, "Perhaps those two white eagles will also become friends with you, Third Brother, in the future."

Huang Rong discerned that Jiali Yu was joking, and clapped her hands in laughter, saying: "This idea is indeed good, but I am concerned that once the Kongming lantern ascends, it will no longer be under our control, and its flying speed cannot match that of the white eagle"

Huang Rong then smiled brightly, nodded, and said: "Elder brother, second brother, let's go."

Indeed

Jia Liyu said, "I feel too stifled at home, so I wanted to come out for a stroll." Upon saying this, he shook his head and smiled wryly, adding, "When I am at home, I always think about how interesting and free it is outside, but after coming out, I realize the advantages of being at home. Not to mention the food, I can't even sleep well at night. Big brother, Third brother, do you have any good solutions?"

Guo Jing scratched the back of his head and asked, "What is a Kongming lantern?"

Huang Rong said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, went out to battle. On one occasion, he was trapped in Pingyang and was unable to send troops out of the city to seek help. Therefore, he calculated the wind direction and made floating paper lanterns, attaching messages for assistance. As a result, reinforcements were indeed attracted, and he successfully escaped danger. Henceforth, this type of paper lantern has been called Kongming Lantern by later generations"

Third brother, feel free to speak

Jingrong Qi asked: "What method?"

Guo Jing was straightforward and simple-minded, lacking any experience in teaching. He passed on to Jia Li Yu exactly what Ma Yu had taught him. After teaching the incantation, he began to instruct Jia Li Yu word by word on the methods of breathing and circulating energy, as well as the techniques for quiet sitting and calming the mind. Meanwhile, Huang Rong, who was nearby, faintly discerned that this was a sophisticated method of internal martial arts training, and for a moment, she hesitated to speak.

I come from the grassland

"A square frame is made from bamboo strips, then covered with paper to create a large lantern. A burning pine resin is placed on the base, and the hot air lifts the lantern into the sky," Huang Rong said, then asked in return, "But how do we use this lantern to catch an eagle?"

Second brother, what song are you singing? Are you singing about the eldest brother?

Jia Liyu thought: "At our first meeting, you treated me to a French feast, then stuffed me with several million in red envelopes, and finally gifted me a luxury BMW. Anyone would be moved to tears by this." He smiled and said: "Third brother, this is simply due to being overly touched; there is no need for elder brother to be alarmed."

Warm your heart

Why sing for the elder brother

"That's great," Jia Liyu said with surprise, feeling a bit guilty inside. Fortunately, he had previously hinted at the principle of the hot air balloon to Guo Jing, which might prove to be of great use later, so it could not be considered a case of taking advantage without any effort.

My feelings remain unchanged
