Chapter Eighty-Six: The Dragon King's Throne
The dragon king had a smile on his face when he heard the third prince say that he had completed the task. However, after seeing Li Chuntian stand up, the Dragon King's complexion changed.
In fact, I have long found out that the Dragon King is not kind to Li Chuntian. But it just so happened that Li Chuntian didn't care about the Dragon King's dislike at all.
After Li Chuntian stood out, he said: "Back to the Dragon King, Zhang Yan has also completed the task. ”
The dragon king also sighed, but there was no smile on his face.
But I also understand, and they are biological father and son.
The third prince teased: "I don't know how he completed the task, does he have that ability?" ”
The dragon king asked the third prince not to quarrel meaninglessly. Then he asked, "Tell me, how did you get the job done?" ”
The third prince straightened his color and said, "Back to my father, the child has rebuilt the Dragon King Temple in Linshui Town. Soon, the incense will be prosperous. ”
The dragon king said yes with satisfaction, and then said to me, Zhang Yan, how did you complete the task?
I truthfully said to the Dragon King: "Back to the Dragon King, Weichen also asked Linshui Town to build the Dragon King Temple. ”
"Could it be that two dragon king temples have been built in Linshui Town?" The Dragon King said unhappily.
The Ninth Princess stood up and said, "No, there is only one." ”
The Dragon King then asked, "Who among you is lying, and whose credit is it for the establishment of the Dragon King Temple in Linshui Town?" ”
The third prince said that it was of course the child's credit to return to his father, and the child went to the waterfront realm, first found a local famous witch, and asked her to sing praises to his father and the townspeople, and the townspeople agreed to build the Dragon King Temple. And Zhang Yan simply wanted to deceive his father and defraud the lottery. If you deceive the king like this, your heart should be punished.
I also stood up and said to the Dragon King, back to the Dragon King, the witch entrusted by the third prince to coax the residents of Linshui Town to build the Dragon King Temple, it was indeed because of the witch's words, but in the final analysis, it was the lower officials who eradicated the water demon in Linshui Town, so that the Dragon King Temple could be built smoothly, and finally the incense continued.
The third prince interrupted me and scolded, bold, you still dare to talk about the Jiaolong case! Someone! Take him down for me.
"Stop!" The dragon king slapped the table, and the palace became quiet again.
The dragon king's complexion turned bad.
"If anyone dares to deceive this king, don't blame this king for being unkind to you."
Li Chuntian said again: "The king is angry, Weichen has a good idea, didn't they all say that the witch helped?" Why didn't the king invite the witch to the Dragon Palace, and when the time came, he would know whose credit it was, and he could also invite a few residents of Linshui Town to let them talk about it. ”
The dragon king probably felt that what Daoist Qiu said made sense, and soon he would go to the yang world to invite people.
We waited in the Dragon Palace for about forty minutes, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals came in with a few people, including witches.
When several people saw the dragon king, they immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and kept kowtowing to meet the dragon king.
The dragon king told them to get up and speak. The dragon king said to them, "Now the king asks you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully, and if there is half a lie, the king will let you have no return." ”
Several people were already frightened, so they naturally didn't dare to tell a lie at this time, so they hurriedly responded and said yes.
The Dragon King opened his mouth and said: "The Dragon King Temple in Linshui Town has been demolished and is now rebuilt, the two in front of you, do you know whose credit it is?" ”
The witch looked at me and the third prince.
The witch showed a timid look, and the third prince stared at the witch fiercely, as if warning the witch. The witch slowly spoke: "The old man was indeed entrusted by Ruan Tian to let the residents of Linshui Town build the Dragon King Temple that day. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the third prince interjected and said, Father, you see, the truth has come out.
I said to the witch, "Are you finished?" ”
The witch had been groomed by me before, and she was still a little afraid of me, and shook her head and said, No. I said to the witch, since I didn't finish speaking, then go on.
The witch stammered: "However, the old woman deceived the people of Linshui Town by deception, and was later exposed by Lord Zhang!" ”
The Dragon King continued to ask, "Then why is the Dragon King Temple still being built in the end?" ”
The witch said: "That's because the water demon in Linshui Town was eradicated by Lord Zhang, so the Dragon King Temple can continue to be built." ”
The third prince was anxious and said: "Bold old woman, you dare to talk nonsense here, come here, take her down, and serve her with great punishment." ”
The witch knelt on the ground in fright, and said, what the old man said was the truth, and there was no half a lie, so I asked the dragon king to know it!
The dragon king stared at the woman, then waved his hand to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who came forward and told them to go down. After the shrimp soldiers and crabs retreated, the dragon king then asked the residents of Linshui Town, and the replies he got were all because Lord Zhang, the river god of the Dragon Palace, caught the water demon, and the people of Linshui Town re-established the Dragon King Temple in order to thank Lord Zhang.
The third prince's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a dead child. said: "You are all talking nonsense, did you accept Zhang Yan's money, so you spoke for him." ”
I said to the third prince: "Facts are facts, no matter how much you slander, you can't change it." ”
What else did the third prince want to say, but he was drunk by the dragon king. The third prince shut up and didn't speak. The Dragon King's expression changed, and after a pause, he said: "Since the establishment of the Dragon King Temple is Zhang Yan's credit, then give Zhang Yan the color head!" I could hear that the Dragon King's tone seemed to be mixed with a faint helplessness.
Some reluctantly gave me the dragon king's color head.
But I was not hypocritical, and quickly said to the dragon king to thank the king for his kindness.
The color head given by the Dragon King should be the treasure of the Dragon Palace.
Li Chuntian and Daoist Qiu are very concerned about the color head, according to Qiu Daoshi said, the color head may also be useful to my master.
The Dragon King said to the celebrant officer, "Let's announce the lottery this time." ”
The ceremonial officer bowed and said, "Yes." ”
Immediately faced us, as a result, the dragon king's paperwork, after opening the document, the official had not read it, and his facial expression became wonderful, looking at his expression, it seemed that he didn't know beforehand.
The ceremonial officer adjusted his emotions and began to read: After this king's birthday, I am afraid that the deadline is approaching, take this opportunity to take the heir of the dragon king of the East China Sea Dragon Palace as the color head of this time, this king has many dragon sons and dragon girls, lest he be eccentric, so this exam question came out, which can not only test your character, but also test your ability. So whoever wins this time will be the successor candidate for the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
As the ceremonial officer read, all his countenances changed.
Even I can't help but be surprised, is this a selection of the prince?
I glanced at the Dragon King, and the Dragon King's face became a little gloomy, maybe he didn't expect me to win.
The third prince also seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and stood up and said: "Father, is your color head mistaken, that is a candidate for the Dragon King of the East China Sea, how can it be given to an outsider." ”
"Please think twice!" The third prince knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.
The rest of the dragon sons and dragon girls also knelt on the ground, but the ninth prince did not kneel down and pray.
The ceremonial official also paused, didn't read down, and moved his eyes to the dragon king, and the prime ministers of the East China Sea also knelt down and begged the dragon king of the East China Sea to think twice and think again.
As the prime minister of the East China Sea knelt down, the rest of the people also knelt. There were just a few of us standing.
There was a strange aura in the air at this time.
Seeing this, Li Chuntian knelt down and said, "Dragon King, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Li Chuntian's words suddenly pushed the atmosphere to the peak of embarrassment, but soon someone reprimanded Li Chuntian and said that he would eat inside and outside and betray the Dragon Palace, lest the world be chaotic.
Li Chuntian said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This official just thinks that it is better to know people and make good use of them, and those who are capable should bear greater responsibility." ”
"Can this tens of thousands of years of Jiangshan Sheji of the East China Sea Dragon Palace be handed over to an outsider? Li Chuntian, are you a dog thief a sinner in the Dragon Palace? ”
Li Chuntian said: "I can't afford this crime, let's wait for the king to make a decision!" ”
I took a deep breath, inexplicably becoming a little nervous, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea suddenly looked at me, his gaze was sharp and domineering. But I didn't flinch, we looked at each other, and after a pause, the Dragon King opened his mouth and asked me, "Zhang Yan, do you think you are qualified to be a candidate for the Dragon King?" ”
I said to the Dragon King, "Back to the Dragon King, Wechen will definitely work hard to live up to the Dragon King's expectations." ”
What I mean by this is that I am capable, and I will not give up my position as a candidate.
After I finished speaking, the dragon king's face changed completely, and he suddenly slapped the table suddenly, and then said something that frightened me......
