Chapter 103: The Snake Dance Rebellion (1)
Shangjingnan City has always been the most lively place in the capital.
Because of the gathering of merchants from all over the world, there are many hotels, wine shops, and theaters, and stalls are small
Food, rouge gouache, hairpins and turbans abound, and there are also those who play tricks, like climbing poles, flying people, playing with knives, and breaking boulders.
Qing Dai looked at the scene in front of her, remembering the most lively and prosperous bridge in the legendary Sijiu City before, and couldn't help but chuckle, I had never seen it in my previous life, and I made up for it in this life.
"Don't you like the mess here, why don't we go to the Vermilion Bird Petal?"
Wang Tao was a little worried, taking advantage of the Wanshou Festival, the elders of the two families entered the palace to congratulate, he wanted to take Qingdai out to play, and sent someone to pass the word, but he was afraid that Qingdai would not be able to come out, but he didn't expect Qingdai to agree. He was also happy for a while, but it was a pity that Qing Dai happened to run into a tail when he went out.
"No, it's good here, I can still see so many foreigners, I look much more lively than the original Jiangning Wharf. Don't you always go to Siyi Pavilion these days? These nations must have learned a great deal about their affairs. Today, I'm not just here to play, but also to listen to you talk about the customs of various countries. β
Wang Taole nodded vigorously, "Then let's talk while walking, so that you can have an impression."
"Okay, where do you go first?" Qing Dai looked around, looking in which direction to go.
Qi Zhen beside him pulled Qing Dai, stared at the black-haired and brown-eyed foreigner wearing a white cloth bun and a big robe not far away, and pointed to the jar beside him, "That guy with a musical instrument is holding it tightly, it's interesting, let's go over there!" β
"Just the guy who wraps it like a dumpling?" Qing Dai looked at the person dressed like the Indians who played cobras with snake flutes before, and glanced at Qi Zhen, who was excited, "Don't be afraid later!" β
"What can a person, a jar, be afraid of?" Qi Zhen pouted nonchalantly, "Just go over there!" β
"Okay, this is where you are going, if you are afraid later, then you will have dinner today!"
"Good!" Qi Zhen snorted, "If I hadn't shouted, then all the use would have been for you, Wang Tao, this kid!" β
Qing Dai glanced at Qi Zhen, but Wang Tao took the lead, "Okay, Sister Dai's share is on me." β
Qi Zhen raised her eyebrows and glanced at the other person, the smile in the corner of ChΓΊn was a little ambiguous, and she turned around and strode two steps towards the white-robed man.
Qing Dai turned her head and glared at Wang Tao. Wang Tao didn't see Qing Dai's complaining gaze, glanced at the man in white and explained to Qing Dai, "That's an artist from the Intega country, and the musical instrument in his hand is specially used to control ......."
Qing Dai secretly stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Tao's sleeve, "Shh, don't tell her, what's in that jar?" β
"You know it's ......,......... in it"
"I've seen it in miscellaneous books before." Qing Dai liΓ‘o opened her hat and winked at Wang Tao, pursed her lips and snickered, "Anyway, don't tell Pearl, I want to see if she dares to pretend to be bold in the future, hehe!" β
Looking at the pair of black eyes full of light, Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dotingly, "Okay, listen to you!" β
"You two hurry up, everyone is almost full, no matter how slow you are, you won't be able to grab a good position!" Qi Zhen took two steps forward and saw that the two didn't follow, so she turned around and pulled Qingdai again.
Qingdai put down her hat veil, "Little cousin, let's go!" Wang Tao glanced at Qi Zhen, who was holding Qingdai's hand, and said resentfully, Qi Liu would not be able to find Qingdai one day, so he had to keep up today.
Wang Tao asked the two servants who were with shΓ¬ to squeeze out of the way, letting Qing Dai and Qi Zhen stand in front, and he stood behind Qing Dai to protect the two. Qi Zhen looked at the artists of the Intejia Kingdom in the field, and squinted at Wang Tao behind Qingdai, "Hey, the great talent of the Hanlin Academy, tell me what kind of musical instrument this person has in his hand that looks a bit like a flute?" β
Wang Tao replied angrily: "That instrument is called Tiktila." β
"You can't talk well, you think I'm here to spoil the scenery, don't you?" Qi Zhen glanced at Wang Tao, and Wang Tao looked impatient, "You said it yourself, I didn't mention a word." β
"You" Qi Zhen glared at Wang Tao angrily and opened his mouth to retort. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhi Dai hurriedly grabbed Qi Zhen, "Look at it, he wants to blow it." β
With a bit of weird and mysterious exotic music sounding, Qi Zhen's attention immediately moved to the field.
Halfway through the music, two spectral lights flashed in the dark clay pot, and slowly the glow rose more and more, and the cobra's head stretched out.
The crowd exclaimed. Qi Zhen couldn't help but scream, grabbed Qing Dai's arm, pointed to the clay pot and said tremblingly: "Snake, snake, it's a snake!" β
"Don't shout, you don't see its head, it's poisonous, 1 Be careful to frighten it, it rushes over and bites you with a whoosh.!" Qing Dai pretended to reach out and squeak on Qi Zhen's waist, Qi Zhen was so frightened that she trembled, "Woo, let's go, I'm afraid!" β
"Don't go, I'm looking at tΗng funny." Indigo oblique also... Eyeing Qi Zhen, he looked at the cobra in the jar with great interest, the snake body slowly swayed and rose with the rhythm of the music, and the body twisted and poked out of the jar, as if dancing when listening to music. The sound of music suddenly turned, the ribs of the snake's neck suddenly opened, and a pair of black and white markings on its back were shaped like glasses, appearing in front of everyone.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Qing Dai shook her head, "Since the person who controls the snake is Lou performing arts, he must be quite skilled." β
Qi Zhen grabbed Qing Dai's arm and resisted the urge to faint in fright, "It, will it come out and bite?" β
"The people of the Inteka are good at controlling poisonous snakes, and Natiktila is a special musical instrument that can control snakes to dance." Wang Tao looked at the calm Qing Dai, and then looked at Qi Zhen, who was so frightened that his face turned white, "If you are afraid, don't look at it, just quit." β
Seeing that Wang Tao looked down on herself, Qi Zhen let go of Qing Dai's arm, and said calmly: "Who said I was scared!" Isn't it just" She suddenly caught a glimpse of the cobra crawling out of the jar, coiling into a side of the Intega people, standing upright and swinging, and suddenly the cold hair stood upright, and subconsciously dodged behind Qing Dai, grabbed Qing Dai's shoulders, closed his eyes and killed without opening them.
Until the snake crawled back to the clay pot with the music, Qi Zhen was so frightened that she didn't dare to open her eyes. originally wanted to pretend to be tough to find some face in front of Wang Tao, but in the end it ended in failure.
"Okay, it's all over, don't open your eyes yet." Qing Dai patted Qi Zhen's hand and couldn't help laughing.
Qi Zhen's eyes opened a slit, and saw that the entertainer was getting up to thank the person who gave the reward, and as for the cobra that had already gotten back into the jar, he opened his eyes completely, "I'm scared to death!" β
"Who just kept saying that she is not afraid, what a person has in a jar"
"I saw the snake chilling all over." Qi Zhen didn't dare to continue thinking about it, "I'll invite you to eat whatever you want today, so don't tease me anymore." β
The three of them turned around and walked out, not wanting to make a crisp noise behind them, and everyone exclaimed. As soon as the three of them turned around, they saw that the clay pot containing the cobra just now had somehow broken, and the cobra was curled up on the ground, and the snake body was suddenly raised, and it was spitting out letters, looking at the people around them.
