Chapter 4 King Fu
This was the first time Lu Ran had seen Li Li.
King Li Li, King of Xiayafu.
The emperor's favorite youngest son, the most arrogant little prince in the Northern Continent, the generalissimo of the Hundred Flowers Army in Sui Tang's mouth, and the commander-in-chief of the golden fleet at his feet.
Even grassroots people like Lu Ran have heard of this name.
There are thousands of folk legends about his deeds, and they can be written in a huge book.
Now seeing the real person, Lu Ran feels that this legend is likely to be true.
The tall man in his thirties in front of him was wearing his hair and shoulders, his eyes were half-closed, and his expression seemed a little haggard.
He casually wore a crane-gray undergarment, half-leaning and half-lying on a high golden throne.
It is like a flower that is about to bloom and is ready to bloom.
It seems to be simple and simple, but it is actually gorgeous and rich.
Five paces ahead of him, one to the left and one to the right, stood two men in cross-dress.
A middle-aged man on the left, dressed as a general, with angry hair and eyes, is wearing a peach-pink flower armor, and if you look closely, there are still a few drops of water on the petals on the armor.
The old man on the right should be a Taoist priest, with a yin and yang face, his hair, Taoist crown, and Taoist hairpin are also half white and half black, and he wears a loose robe embroidered with stars in the same yin and yang.
The two of them stared intently and looked solemn.
There are only these three people in the hall, forming a "mountain" shape, and there is indeed a sense of oppression on the peak, so that the people who come in can't help but bow their heads.
After the four teenagers entered the hall, they were still standing left and right, Lu Ran thought about it, and stood under the young man in green shirts, who was the only one who smiled at him.
"Boys."
King Fu spoke first, his tone was frivolous and playful, and he was a little impatient.
"This king knows that you are suffocated, and this king is also suffocated, and he has not been out of this temple for a month, and he has never seen my poor people again."
"However, I finally found it, and this is the moment. It's just that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I can't say too much at the moment, boys, you are looking forward to today, you will get a big opportunity, a big opportunity. ”
King Fu laughed, and the conversation changed.
"Therefore do as you are told, and do not ask too much, do not talk much, and do not do much things. Got it? ”
Lu Ran saw that the four siblings exchanged glances with each other, and they all wanted to speak and stopped, full of suspicion.
But in the end, they just sang a song, saluted, and retreated to the sidelines.
Without further words, King Fu got up, waved his big hand, and said in a deep voice.
"Let's get started."
The Taoist priest with a yin and yang face who was waiting on the side immediately ordered: "The time has come!" Treasure is coming! ”
Sharp orders swirled in the main hall, and many red-clothed star officials poured out from all directions, their figures seemed to be wandering spirits, they ran around, moving things, drawing talismans, sealing doors, and locking windows...... The clouds and rivers are generally arranged, and then they all fade away like ghosts.
At this time, the main hall of the ship tower had become dark unconsciously, and all the lights were extinguished.
The old Taoist priest recited the mantra in his mouth, and his fingertips twisted four strings of flames, which were the "cold fire" specially used by the qi refiners for lighting, with only light and no heat. The "cold fire" rises to the middle of the main hall, illuminating only about six steps (one step is six feet) square, as if it were a stage that has just been erected.
Lu Ran saw at this time that there was a three-legged golden tripod in the middle of the "stage", covered with inscriptions inside and out. Around the golden tripod, a golden feng shui box is placed according to the four fields (southeast, northwest, northwest), which reflects the light of "cold fire" in gold, which looks flashy and mysterious.
Golden cancan, this is the style favored by His Royal Highness King Fu.
The old Taoist priest with a yin and yang face was full of sternness, stepped forward, and said: "The name of this thing is 'Four-faced Monkey', and the four highnesses are tired of coming forward, and they stand behind the golden box in the order of age and size. ”
The old Taoist priest's name is Gu Xing, who is a great star official of the Xia Adam Dynasty, his age is unknown, and some people say that he is more than 300 years old.
Although his status and identity are transcendent, in the face of these four royal families, even if they are all juniors, he still bent down slightly and made a gesture of please.
The four teenagers were full of doubts, but they all knew that this big star official with a yin and yang face had a good idea, so they didn't resist at all, and stood up one by one according to the law.
Gu Xing pinched the trick and closed his eyes and stopped.
The three-legged golden tripod is shining with golden light, wandering on the inscription, and the circulation is non-stop.
Oh, he suddenly opened his eyes, and Lu Ran saw that in his breath, the whole person suddenly reversed yin and yang, and the original black on his body turned white, and white turned black.
It was as if he had become a different person, and as if he hadn't.
Gu Xing spoke: "The 'four-faced monkey' is the treasure of the world, you can only see each other in the valley of the moon and the valley, and you can only meet if you are destined to meet you, Your Highness, please open the box!" ”
His Royal Highness, dressed in a red robe, stretched out his hand to open the box, only to find that the gold box was actually made of gold leaf, and the walls of the box were as thin as paper.
The lid was lifted, and out of the box came a small white beast, only the size of a palm, snow-white, with a face like a red heart.
It's a white monkey.
Take a closer look, there are a few strands of red hair on the white monkey's forehead, I don't know how long, it seems to be a capital "east" character, the white monkey holds a jade sword, like a proud general, majestically three steps and two steps, fell into the central streamer golden tripod.
"Fifth Highness, please!" Gu Xing shouted again.
The young man in the green shirt is also a white monkey, this one is even smaller, although it is thin, but it drags a golden knife, far beyond its length, its face is a little melancholy, and there is a bunch of red hair on its forehead, spelling out a "south" character.
It completely ignored the other people around it, only glanced at the eastern monkey, and also carried the big knife into the golden tripod.
"Sixth Highness, please!"
The purple-clothed girl with her face couldn't wait to open the gold box - it was another white monkey, with a slender and slender body, an extremely beautiful face, and a "west" word on her forehead, which was shockingly red.
What a beautiful monkey! The girl in purple couldn't help but scream.
The Naxi monkey also held a weapon in his hand, a black and steep short spear, it heard the sound, looked around, and finally its eyes fell on the golden tripod, its movements were the fastest, and it leaped into it in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness the Thirteenth, please!"
It was the turn of the girl in yellow, she was very expectant, but a little scared, and carefully uncovered the lid - this time, there was no white monkey that jumped out immediately, this white monkey was motionless, nested in the box.
Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, everyone looked forward to coming.
"With such hard work, there is also a dead monkey!" His Highness moved his red lips and began to be angry again.
He walked this way without making a sound.
Lu Ran saw that his hand had already touched the hilt of the sword.
"No, it's just asleep!" Lu Ran, who had been watching nervously and didn't plan to make a sound, spoke at this time.
The girl also saw it clearly, and quickly echoed: "That's right, it's just asleep." ”
Sure enough, the white monkey breathed evenly, his face was calm, and it really seemed to be asleep.
"Then wake it up!" His Royal Highness was approaching at this time, and Lu Ran heard the sword make a "beep" sound.
The girl in yellow stepped forward and blocked His Highness's way.
