Chapter 60: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens [Part II]
The courtyard where the hot air balloon is placed is not large, in front of it is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and on the left side is next to the Luohan Hall, which is wrapped in two tall and magnificent palaces in the middle, and this small courtyard is even more inconspicuous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But what Wu Kai wants is this inconspicuousness, otherwise the hot air balloon will be nearly two stories high after it blows up, and it will be exposed to people early, how can it be a surprise?
Speaking of this hot air balloon, Wu Kai has spent a lot of effort on it, and the most important job is to figure out how to transform it into a hot air balloon - otherwise, if the principle of Kong Ming Lantern can be seen at a glance, how can he use it to pretend to be a ghost?
So what appeared in front of Concubine Wei Xian at this moment was a monster floating in mid-air, the size of an ordinary house, dark red all over, countless silk threads hanging from its belly, six pairs of wings under its ribs, and a pair of long horns on the top!
What's even more creepy is the lifelike hideous face on the front of the hot air balloon, which seems to be constantly changing between 'joy and anger' when the breeze ripples, revealing a strange and inexplicable taste.
Sensei said that Concubine Wei Xian and a few palace ladies were frightened and stopped, and even Wu Kai himself couldn't help but feel a little frightened - in order to prevent leaking secrets in advance, he had only secretly tested it a few times at night, but it was the first time he could see the whole picture of this thing.
But......
It's such a weird look, so it's not easy to be seen out of the doorway!
Wu Kai circled around the hot air balloon, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Huineng on the side: "This painter has good skills, and after the ceremony, remember to wrap him with a big red envelope!" ”
Hui Neng said with a smile on the side: "It's good if the master is satisfied, but that Zhang Zhiduan is not short of money, if it weren't for the fact that his wife had a difficult birth and owed the master's favor, it would not be easy to ask him to paint." ”
Zhang Zeduan?
This Bianliang City is really full of celebrities like dogs, traitors walking all over the ground!
Putting Zhang Zeduan's name behind, Wu Kai stepped forward and carefully checked the condition of the hot air balloon to confirm that there was nothing missing, and then saluted Concubine Wei Xian: "Amitabha, there is Concubine Lao Xian." ”
Although Concubine Wei Xian was frightened by the hot air balloon, she also knew that she couldn't hesitate at the moment, so she had the courage to get closer, and under Wu Kai's signal, she stepped on the horse stone and climbed into the hanging basket with difficulty.
The two palace ladies who were waiting for her were about to concoct the same method, but they were stopped by Wu Kai - this Concubine Wei Xian is okay, it is her secret alliance anyway, as for others, Wu Kai does not believe that they will keep the secret of the hot air balloon for themselves.
Of course, on the surface, it is said that this thing is in its infancy, and it can only carry two people at most.
drove those palace ladies to wait outside the courtyard, Wu Kai also turned over the hanging basket, first beckoned Shi Qian and Huineng to pull out the 'ground nails' below, and then untied the safety ropes tied to the four corners of the hanging basket.
When the last rope was unfastened, the balloon jerked upwards and fell back to the ground.
I only heard a loud bang~ and the hanging basket under my feet trembled, Wu Kai was nothing, but Concubine Wei Xian was not on a stable footing and almost fell out of the hanging basket!
Wu Kai hurriedly reached out to help, originally wanting to grab her wrist, but this woman was in a panic, but as if she had encountered a life-saving straw, she hugged his arm with her backhand without saying anything, and took it to her arms, but it happened to be pressed on top of half of the crisp peak.
That's fine, at most it's an unintentional mistake.
However, Wu Kai's brain twitched for a while, but instead of immediately withdrawing his hand, he subconsciously put his five fingers together, and compared the feeling in his mind with Zhang Hui's pair of white rabbits in size, shape, elasticity, etc., and when he came back to his senses, he had been playing for six or seven seconds.
"Ahem."
That is, Wu Kai was thick enough to be black-hearted, and in Concubine Wei Xian's embarrassed and indignant gaze, he slowly withdrew his claws, and said with a nonchalant face: "This thing was quite bumpy when it took off, and I asked Concubine Xian to be careful." ”
As he spoke, he bent down to untie a sandbag on the outer wall of the hanging basket, threw it into Shi Qian's arms, and scolded: "Why are you stupid? Hurry up and unpack the sandbags! ”
Shi Qian and Hui Neng woke up like a dream, with an expression of 'the boss is really a bunker', and stepped forward to remove the sandbags on the outer wall of the hanging basket one by one.
After about half of the solution, the hot air balloon began to slowly rise into the air, but there was a big problem, that is, the remaining sandbags were hung on the left side, which made the hot air balloon obviously tilt its center of gravity, and it swayed towards the south wall!
"This ...... This, this, this...... Master, how is this good?! ”
Seeing that according to this trend, the hot air balloon would hit the south wall before it hit the sky, and then plunged into the attic of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Huineng was suddenly frightened and at a loss.
However, the time was exciting enough, and he hurriedly pulled out a dagger from his leg, grabbed it in front of the balloon in a few steps, jumped into the air violently, and with a sweep of his hand, he cut off all the remaining sandbags!
The hanging basket shook and swayed from side to side a few times, and finally regained its balance and slowly rose into the air.
Seeing that everything was back to normal, Wu Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had the leisure to look back at Concubine Wei Xian, but only to see her half-squatting, cowering in the corner in a panic, holding the railing with both hands.
It was in this panic that she saw Wu Kai looking back, but she still tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Zen master doesn't have to worry about me, it's right to quickly practice the sacrifice of geniuses." ”
It's exactly what I guessed!
The reason why Wu Kai had no fear just now was that she was sure that she would not turn against herself for the sake of a mere 'accident' - besides, when such things got out, the most unfavorable thing was actually herself.
However, Wu Kai took her to the sky, not to make her shrink in the corner and tremble.
Stepping to her side, Wu Kai slowly stretched out his right hand to her.
Concubine Wei Xian's smile that she finally squeezed out suddenly froze, and she subconsciously shrank back, but thinking that her mother and son's imperial plan and net worth and life were all in the thought of this monk, Concubine Wei Xian's retreat stopped, hesitated slightly, and instead gritted her silver teeth and raised her chest to meet it!
Who knew that her chest was straight, and the big hand stopped in mid-air.
Concubine Wei Xian was stunned, and then listened to Wu Kai say: "If Concubine Xian wants to be a mother in the world, how can she do it without the courage and courage to overlook the common people?" ”
Only then did Concubine Wei Xian realize that she had 'misunderstood' the monk's intentions, first she was a little embarrassed, and then she was moved by the words 'mother's ceremony and overlooking the common people', her breath became thicker and thicker, and her face flushed again.
In the end, she finally reached out to meet it, and with a lot of strength, she stood side by side with Wu Kai on the edge of the hanging basket!
