Chapter 7: The Battle of the Demons

In the Bei'an Palace, Zhao Kangyi just saw off Lord Wang and left. At this time, a servant came to report that someone outside the door asked to see him, saying that he was a friend of the prince. The king of Bei'an was curious, and ordered the servants who came to report to invite people in.

The guests who asked to see them were taken to the main hall by the domestic servants. King Bei'an sat on the chair and looked at it, weren't the two people in front of him Luo Xiaotian and Chen An'an?

"Xiaosheng Luo Xiaotian visited the prince and took the liberty to disturb the palace twice. This time, the two of us came to apologize. Luo Xiaotian bowed down and had a sincere attitude.

"It turned out to be the two of you. Yesterday I said I would stay and drink, why didn't I say goodbye? Today he said that he came to apologize for his sin, so what kind of sin is it? ”

"Lord Wang, yesterday was really rude, so I came to the door today to make amends. The two of us brought the aged wine treasured by my master Tianzun Daoren on the Tianqi Peak, and specially came to accompany the prince to drink a few cups. "Luo Xiaotian's statement that the aging is indeed his master's, which is true. A few days ago, when he went down the mountain, he brought a pot of Master's aged wine, which he was going to give to Uncle Qianji, who was living in a secluded place on the outskirts of the city. Qianji would go up the mountain to visit Luo Xiaotian every once in a while, and the two naturally had a deep relationship.

"Hahahaha, it's rare for a young man to be so sensible, this wine, this king has received it."

Several people came to the "Tinglan Xuan" by the lake, and the servants had already prepared the dishes. The scenery of the lake and the mountains, the beautiful scenery and the wine, can't help but make people feel comfortable. It's just that Luo Xiaotian has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery at this moment, and the plan prepared by the two is being calculated in their hearts.

"This wine is truly excellent! I didn't expect this old friend to hide such a good wine, if it was fate, this king would definitely go up the mountain to meet him. ”

"This matter is the luck of the Apocalypse Palace, as long as the prince is willing, Xiao Sheng will definitely inform the master, and let the old man and the prince reminisce about the old relationship."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and although the two of us live together, we haven't interacted. Luo Xiaotian, this king took the liberty to ask you, when did you worship under the Tianzun Daoist? Where are the parents now? If you find it inconvenient to answer, you just don't answer. ”

Since the prince asked, Xiaosheng answered. Xiaosheng left my parents when I was a child, and I don't know their whereabouts, but it was my uncle who sent me up the mountain to worship under the master. Speaking of this, Luo Xiaotian raised his wine glass and put the elixir into his stomach. He didn't want to tell others about his life experience in public, but now he is taking advantage of the alcohol to say it. Chen An, who was on the side, looked at Luo Xiaotian's frustrated appearance with pain, and also raised his wine glass and drank it all.

When King Bei'an heard Luo Xiaotian's answer, he felt a little ashamed, and raised a glass to accompany the two of them. When the maidservant next to her had filled the wine, she asked them to retreat.

"Xiaotian, this king is reckless, he shouldn't ask about such a private matter. Come, this cup of this king to you. If you need the king's help with something, just ask. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Before I knew it, the pot of wine was about to run out. Several people were already a little drunk, and Luo Xiaotian secretly glanced at Chen An'an.

"Brother Xiaotian, I have a stomachache. Ate something unclean in the morning. Chen An'an understood Luo Xiaotian's meaning and pretended to have an uncomfortable stomach.

"Yo! That's how it can be good. Miss An'an, this king immediately ordered the maidservant to lead you over. ”

"No, I'll go by myself. Can't wait. ”

Chen An'an ran out as he spoke, and his vulgar appearance stunned King Bei'an.

Chen An'an, who left "Tinglan Xuan", trotted all the way in the direction of the main hall of the palace. She was going to complete what Luo Xiaotian had told her.

Hearing the maidservants say that her father was drinking by the lake, Zhao Susu was ashamed because of today's incident and was about to go to her father to make amends, after all, she said something disrespectful.

"Ah......h

Only a coquettish cry was heard. Chen An'an, who was in a hurry, collided with Zhao Susu at the corner of a pavilion.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Susu looked at Chen An'an's appearance, and asked the reckless girl in front of her.

"Who are you? Who am I, what does it matter to you? I'm a guest of your lord, you can't control me, hum! "With Chen Anan's personality, it is difficult to communicate with people normally, after all, she has said that she is not convinced by anyone.

"I'm sorry, it turned out to be Daddy's guest, Su Su was rude. Is there something urgent about the girl's panicked look? ”

"You don't have to worry about it, don't stand in the way of this girl."

Zhao Susu saw that Chen An'an was so rude, and she was helplessly her father's guest, so she didn't bother with her, and took a step out of the way.

Zhao Susu saw that his father was still entertaining guests, so he dispelled the idea of going to the lake to find his father and turned back to the room.

The two sides of the main hall of the palace are guarded by internal guards. Although Chen Anan has arrived, there is no way to get in. She pretended to be walking in the palace, looking for a suitable opportunity to sneak into the house. After a few rounds, she finally found an unattended corner, just enough to turn behind the main hall.

Chen Anan climbed through the window and entered a bedroom. This room is spacious and comfortable, and intuitively, it looks like the bedroom of King Bei'an. She took out a packet of black powdery items from her shoulder pocket, covered her mouth and nose, lit a fire, and spilled it behind the cupboard in the room, then quickly climbed through the window to the outside. Chen An'an waited outside the house until the smoke filled the house before closing the window and leaving.

Chen An'an has been away for too long and has not returned. So, Luo Xiaotian used this excuse to tell King Bei'an that his friend was in poor health, and it was inconvenient to drink the wine again, so he cleverly excused himself and said goodbye.

The two converged and walked out of the gate of the palace.

"Is it done?" Luo Xiaotian asked Chen Anan quietly.

"No problem!"

……

Back at the inn, Luo Xiaotian found Yao Qingshu and asked him if it was going according to plan, and Yao Qingshu nodded that everything was arranged.

In other words, everything planned is completed, just wait for tomorrow's sea festival to see a good show. He hoped that tomorrow would be as good as he wanted, and there would be no accidents. If the plan fails and annoys the so-called "Kraken", I am afraid that it will kill people.

The next day, the annual sea festival in Lingyang City began, and the streets were full of people. In the middle of the street, marching was a procession of horse-drawn wagons pulling tribute; And then there are all kinds of strangely shaped sacrificial floats, bands beating gongs and drums, and wizards dancing weird dances.

The crowd marched with the sacrificial procession to the largest port in the city. On the stage, before the start of the sea festival, the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth and sacrificing to the kraken is being carried out. In addition to the residents of the city, there are more tourists who come to see the excitement of the festival, and they want to see the true face of the Siren.

Luo Xiaotian and the others found a high platform with a clear view of the activity scene, and it was also to facilitate the observation of the Siren's every move.

"The operation is about to begin, and hopefully it will be safe today." Luo Xiaotian was worried, the sacrifice was going on in an orderly manner, but he felt that time was slow.

"Xiaotian, don't worry, senior brother believes in you."

"I also believe that this time it will be successful. I am really a god of luck, see that I bring you good luck, I will kill the Kraken today and eliminate harm for the people! ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

I saw that the wizards on the altar were chanting words and dancing strange dances. During the festival, the ritual of paying tribute to the kraken has already begun.

With the sound of a drum beat. The residents of Lingyang City put the prepared offerings into the small boats, and after a while, these small boats filled the harbor and floated down the sea to the sea more than ten miles away.

"Let's get started!" Luo Xiaotian glanced at Yao Qingshu and Chen Anan with firm eyes, and the two nodded at him in response.

At this time, Luo Xiaotian suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in the official seat not far away. Isn't that the king of Bei'an? I saw him sitting on a chair in a trance, constantly massaging his temples with his hands. These symptoms of Bei'an Wang are caused by the smoke released by Chen An'an sneaking into his bedroom yesterday, which is a kind of medicine that can make people weak in their limbs, headaches, and mentally exhausted. It's just that the three of them didn't expect that the king of Bei'an would appear here, isn't the sea monster on the Sea Festival him?

Although there were many suspicions, the three of them could only start acting according to the original plan.

Yesterday, Luo Xiaotian had already arranged for his senior brother to use the volley technique to sneak into the secret room and take some ill-gotten gains from it, which he used to buy the things needed to get rid of the Kraken today.

According to Luo Xiaotian's plan, Yao Qingshu had already arranged more than a dozen large fishing boats on the sea where the kraken was infested. The boats are separated by several meters and form a semicircle. The bow of each ship is connected to each other by iron cables, and the stern is also linked to each other. The anchor heads all sank to the bottom of the sea, and a huge net was tied between the anchor chains and hidden under the surface of the sea. On top of that, each bow hung huge net pockets woven from hemp rope with tons of stones.

Everything was ready, and the three of them had already arrived at the more than ten fishing boats parked on the sea, just waiting for the appearance of the kraken.

After a while, there were abnormal fluctuations on the sea surface at the mouth of the sea, and the "Kraken" finally appeared. The three of them were excited, cheered up and continued to observe. At this moment, they were each in charge of a boat, and the ships they were in were separated by four boats from each other, and the three of them waited quietly for the "Kraken" to surface.

When the "Kraken" appeared, the crowd waiting in the harbor began to make a noise, and they all looked out to sea. Some of the ignorant fishermen began to bow and bow three times, and their mouths were full of words.

It didn't take long for the "Kraken" to swim to the spot where the sacrifice was floating, and slowly floated up in the midst of the rolling waves. Luo Xiaotian and the three of them saw this huge monster up close - its whole body was dark, its whole body was smooth and round, and its skin was thick metal, which at first glance looked like a giant whale.

"Action!"

Hearing Luo Xiaotian's order, Yao Qingshu quickly began to move the head boat to the tail of the "Kraken", and the head boat led the other fishing boats to float over together, forming a semicircle according to the deployment.

"Stone-throwing!"

The three of them began to cut the net with the stones in the bow of the boat, only to hear a clattering sound, and the stones rolled down into the sea. Luo Xiaotian's several large fishing nets tied to the tail of the giant boat yesterday played a role, and all the stones that rolled down were caught by the nets. After all the stones were thrown, the three of them waited for the moment when the giant boat was paralyzed.

The crowd at the port vaguely saw the actions of the three and began to discuss.

The Kraken's movements became a little slow, and the three of them waited eagerly for it to be unable to move in the sea. But unexpectedly, after the "Siren" devoured all the sacrifices, it began to sink, and nothing happened that the three of them expected. On the contrary, when it was diving, the stern of the boat hung directly on the anchor head of Luo Xiaotian's fishing boat. As the giant boat dived deeper and deeper, Luo Xiaotian's fishing boat also began to move with it, and the other fishing boats were also connected and moved on the surface of the sea.

At this moment, Luo Xiaotian's fishing boat could no longer withstand the power of the giant boat's diving. Part of the bow had been pulled out into the sea, and the hull was about to creak and be torn apart.

"Xiaotian!" Yao Qingshu and Chen An'an shouted at the same time when they saw that Luo Xiaotian was in danger. Both were worried that he would be swept to the bottom of the ocean by the ship. Due to the pull of the giant boat, the distance between the fishing boats has expanded, and it is no longer possible to jump to another fishing boat, Luo Xiaotian can only run to the stern of the boat with all his strength on the slowly sinking fishing boat.

The fishing boat continued to sink, and the entire boat was submerged in the sea, and the cables connecting the other fishing boats began to break. Luo Xiaotian's feet slowly sank into the sea with the sinking fishing boat, he took out the water beads, and quickly formed a barrier under his body. But the wake of the giant boat was too great, and the churning of the sea caused his whole body to sway within the barrier of water droplets, and it was sinking rapidly with the wake of the giant boat.

Chen An'an was frightened and cried when he saw such a scene, and called Luo Xiaotian one after another. Yao Qingshu used his volley technique to jump over one fishing boat after another, but he couldn't cross the sea where Luo Xiaotian was.
