Chapter 240: The Legend of the Snake Spirit
"Hmph, people are saying that God will look again!"
The Angkor man in the middle pointed to the oil pot of the small vendor on the side and said, "We Angkor are protected by the goddess, if you don't steal, you won't be hurt in the slightest if you put your hands in the oil pot, I will ask you if you dare!" ”
Xiao Yiwen's color changed, and he put his hand in the oil pot, which was not fried yet, what does it have to do with God's protection.
But the onlookers nodded their heads, as if this is how such incidents are resolved here.
Zhao Rui still remembers what the shopkeeper said yesterday, saying that Angkor does not have procedures such as interrogation, and once he is falsely accused, he still has to endure the pain of cutting his flesh so as not to be harmed.
Heh, play these with me......
Zhao Rui curled the corners of his mouth, he only needed a golden talisman, which was enough to keep his hands from being hurt in the oil pot, let them open their eyes today.
"Okay, I'll try." Zhao Rui said lightly.
The Angkor people on the opposite side were all stunned, why didn't this Song people play their cards according to common sense, didn't they usually hand over valuable things?
Is this Song man asking for money and not dying?
The crowd of onlookers watched Zhao Rui walk towards the oil pot, and they all nodded and praised, such a identification method is the custom of Angkor, but it is extremely difficult for a Song person to dare to try, at least he respects the customs of Angkor.
The Angkor people who were looking for trouble couldn't believe it and gathered around to check it out.
The oil pot was boiling hot at this time, and the air above the pot was also distorted by the high temperature, and everyone watched Zhao Rui's arm dance in the air a few times, and suddenly inserted it into the oil pot.
Xiao Yi quickly let out an exclamation and covered her eyes.
But she didn't hear any sound, she looked into the pot through her fingers, and saw Zhao Rui's hands soaked in the hot oil safely, without any damage.
Everyone let out a burst of exclamations, the current phenomenon is enough to prove that the Song people are innocent and have been wronged!
The few Angkor people who were looking for trouble, the ones behind had already slipped away, and they knew that they were false, but the Song people's hands were not injured, and they were obviously blessed by God!
Only the man in the middle still did not give up, and cried out loudly: "No! Definitely no heat! Come on, add firewood, add firewood! ”
"Not hot?"
Zhao Rui sneered, his hands were still soaked in oil, and said, "Then you can try the temperature!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Rui raised his hand with one hand, and poured a handful of hot oil on the face of this Angkor man at once.
"Zilala......"
The sound is like a modern-day oily carp.
"Ah...... It hurts...... Forehead ......"
The Angkor man who had just spoken had fallen to the ground, covering his face with his hands and letting out a wail like killing a pig.
None of the onlookers came up to the rescue, but they just folded their hands one by one, and they were silently reading something in their mouths.
It may be that Angkor was deeply influenced by Buddhism and felt that the wicked should be punished.
But the noise was still noticed, and the guards patrolling outside the palace pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
muttered something that Zhao Rui didn't understand, and then someone in the crowd told them what had happened.
Zhao Rui looked at these guards and found that they had a bit of a Spartan warrior's taste, only a strip of cloth covered their lower bodies, and the rest of them were **, with a javelin in his hand, and a shield made of rattan.
The guard generals led by him walked up to Zhao Rui, chattered and talked, and then wanted to take Zhao Rui away.
Zhao Rui said that he was an envoy sent by Jiaozhi and wanted to meet Emperor Angkor, but the general couldn't understand what Zhao Rui was saying, and showed a blank expression.
Zhao Rui looked around and asked if there was anyone who could speak Chinese to translate.
After finishing speaking, someone really stepped forward and explained to Zhao Rui what the guards said just now, it turned out that Zhao Rui himself was falsely accused, but he should not deliberately hurt others, according to the law, he should be abandoned outside the city to fend for himself.
Then this person translated what Zhao Rui said to the head of the guard, and after the leader heard it, he stopped his movements, said a few more words, and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Only through the translator Zhao Rui did he know that this general was going to wait at the gate of the palace by himself, and he would talk about it after he went in to report.
Zhao Rui nodded to the translator in thanks, and then followed the footsteps of the guards with Xiao Yi.
After a while, a person who looked like an official came out and conveyed the meaning of their king in blunt Chinese, saying that Jiaozhi has been Angkor's old enemy since ancient times, and there is nothing to talk about at all, let Zhao Rui go back.
Zhao Rui was dumbfounded, he wanted to talk about the fabric when he met, but now it's okay, people can't see it, how is this good?
Then Zhao Rui talked about the cloth trade again, and asked the official to report it inside.
But this official's face was solemn and unmoved at all, Zhao Rui's heart was bright, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over, and sure enough, the official took it quietly, and then went inside.
This time the speed was much faster, and when they came out again, they told Zhao Rui that they could also produce flower cloth in Angkor, although it was not as exquisite as that of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was more practical, and they were not interested in the cloth of Jiaozhi.
Sister, Zhao Rui is not sure whether this official went in to report or not.
Don't let yourself in now, after all, you're here to talk about business, and it's inconvenient for Zhao Rui to break in, so he had to leave first.
"What should we do, young master, if we can't see King Angkor, won't we come here in vain?"
Xiao Yixiang, who was roasted by the sun, was sweating and suddenly felt that it was not worth it.
"It's okay, I'll go see him alone in the evening......"
Zhao Rui thought of something about the legend of the Golden Pagoda of the Imperial Palace, and decided to talk about it at night, now that the temperature is too high, it is more appropriate to go back to the inn to stay.
Back at the inn, Xiao Yi couldn't stand the temperature, so she went to the shopkeeper to borrow a wooden bucket, then filled it with water, jumped into the bucket and soaked, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm...... Master, you can go for a while, it's too hot. ”
Zhao Rui has the effect of a meditation talisman, and he feels that his body is full of Tai and very cool, so he smiled and said that he was not hot.
Xiao Yi didn't know how many times she soaked in the water that day, although she entered with her clothes on, but every time she came out, she could show her graceful figure, which also made Zhao Rui very eye-catching.
Finally at night, Zhao Rui asked Xiao Yi to stay in the house, took a dance talisman, jumped on the roof, and flew in the direction of the palace.
The whole Angkor Thom is pitch black, it seems that the people here do not have the habit of holding the lamp, they all fall asleep when it is dark, the sky and the earth, only the white moonlight lingers, it seems very quiet.
No one saw the figure flying in the sky, Zhao Rui was like a bat, flying into the palace lightly, the golden pagoda was in the depths of the palace, and it was very obvious in the moonlight, Zhao Rui slowly landed on the spire, and then moved in the direction of the window.
Kindness?
Zhao Rui approached the window, suddenly heard a burst of gasps, and curiously leaned on the window to see that a man and a woman were entangled on the ground.
The man has fair skin, and at first glance he is a pampered person, and the woman has scales all over her body, which really means a bit of snake spirit.
Are all the legends true?
If Zhao Rui had just come to the Southern Song Dynasty, he would definitely not believe such a surreal thing, after all, he had received a scientific education since he was a child, but Zhao Rui's strange events when he encountered wizards one after another, as well as the mysterious woman's spells, as well as his own Dao runes, have completely subverted Zhao Rui's concept.
There is no doubt that there are Dao powers and spells in this world.
Therefore, even if this woman becomes a big snake now, I'm afraid Zhao Rui won't be so surprised.
"Who!"
Zhao Rui was finally discovered, and the tip of the woman's long tongue from her mouth seemed to smell the breath of the living.
The two quickly put on their clothes, and Zhao Rui had already jumped into the house through the window.
The man looked at Zhao Rui vigilantly, with a dignified face, and said a string of words that Zhao Rui couldn't understand.
Zhao Rui waved his hand and said lightly: "Can you speak Chinese?" I am the messenger who visited you today, but I was not allowed to enter, and I am also the prince of the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
They obviously understood the Chinese language, and learned that it was not the assassin, and the king's state eased considerably.
"Why are you so bold, I don't see you, you actually trespassed into the palace without permission, aren't you afraid that I will kill you!"
Fortunately, King Angkor can speak Chinese Zhao Rui can communicate, but judging by his attitude, people feel that there is no need to discuss.
But Zhao Rui really didn't discuss things calmly with him.
"I'm afraid that you won't come if you kill me, so it's better for you to promise to use a lot of the cloth we have in Jiaozhi, so that I will leave immediately, and I won't disturb your Yaxing who continues to play."
"Bastard, you're dreaming!"
Zhao Rui's words obviously made the King of Angkor angry, and he looked at the snake spirit for help.
The snake spirit licked her lips and kept looking Zhao Rui up and down, as if she was looking at a plaything.
"Interesting people, stay and play with me, ...... He looks good at his health......"
The vertical pupils of the snake spirit were strange and ghostly, Zhao Rui suddenly felt in a trance, and suddenly felt bad, this was obviously a spiritual attack, but when Zhao Rui regained his clarity, his body had already fallen outside the tower, and he was about to hit the ground with his head down!
It's dangerous!
Zhao Rui was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly operated the Dancing Sky Talisman and flew up again.
It was very dangerous just now without the blessing of the golden talisman, although Zhao Rui's current physique would not fall to death, but if he was not sober, it was inevitable that he would be injured.
The scales flashed at the window, obviously the snake spirit jumped out, and seeing that Zhao Rui was unharmed, he screamed in confusion, and then pounced in the air.
The snake spirit is extremely fast, and Zhao Rui has just drawn a strong talisman and a golden body talisman, and the attack has already arrived in front of him.
you!
Zhao Rui spun his body, dodging the attack, and then fired a volley into the waist of the snake spirit.
The snake spirit's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhao Rui incredulously, unable to imagine why this person had so much power.
"Whoosh......"
The snake spirit turned into a straight line and went straight into the bushes in the corner.
Oh, that's all there is to the goblins.
Zhao Rui's attack just now, he already clearly felt that the neck vertebrae of the snake spirit were kicked and broken into pieces by himself, and it is estimated that even if he is not dead, he must be completely paralyzed.
Zhao Rui flew up to the top of the tower again and entered the window, King Angkor obviously didn't expect that the person who came back was Zhao Rui, and he was speechless.
