Chapter 32: The Savage Princess
Chapter 32: The Savage Princess
Nothing was said all night.
As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Goku got up early. Walking out of the inn, the outside is already a busy scene, walking on the street, I saw that every household is pasting Spring Festival couplets, pasting blessing characters, busy sacrificing to the god of the stove, worshiping ancestors, and children are chasing and frolicking, very lively.
Wukong squeezed through the disturbing crowd, turned around along the street, and came to the Shenzang Stone Workshop early.
The Shenzang Stone Workshop has not yet opened, in front of the gate, a large group of people have already gathered, Wukong fixed his eyes and took a closer look, in the crowd, in addition to the people who watched the gambling stone yesterday, many new faces have also been added, there are the pig Da Shao of the Divine Pig Gate, there are the old man apprentices of the Xuanbing Gate, and even the Zhen Shao Jia Shao is also here, and there are many people, he does not know.
Just look at what Zhen Shao was whispering to a young man in white beside him, the crowd was too noisy for Wukong to hear clearly.
After a while, the gate of the Shenzang Stone Workshop opened, and Wukong looked up at the sky, he estimated that it should be at least half an hour before the game began. Following the crowd, he walked into the gate unhurriedly, and when passing by the third courtyard, Wukong saw the two rare birds again. The two rare birds were still in good spirits, their eyes squinting, and they were very arrogant.
Wukong's eyes rolled, he remembered his Escape Boots, I don't know, there is any forbidden land technique in this underground, otherwise, he can try it quietly from the underground.
Walking into the fourth courtyard and entering the hall, I saw that Ziyi and Qiye were already seated, and the surrounding crowd was already surrounded by three layers and three layers outside. Looking at the shopkeeper of the Shenzang Stone Workshop again, he sat between the two with a heavy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was still half a pillar of incense before the start of the game, the stone shopkeeper looked at the crowd, and stood up a little reluctantly, he coughed and cleared his throat, "Everyone, everyone, today is the Lunar New Year Festival of the Great Liang Empire, and it is also the ultimate battle between the Seven Nights Master and Ziyi Gongzi Gambling Stone Decisive Battle", he looked around, and then said: "Yesterday, the Seven Nights Master and Ziyi Gongzi each won or lost, regardless of whether they were up or down, so please come with me and enter the venue of the competition."
"Hey, why isn't the game here?"
"Shopkeeper Shi, isn't the competition in this hall?"
"The venue has been properly arranged, please come with me", the stone shopkeeper used a little mana, and his voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
When everyone walked into a large courtyard, the gate behind everyone closed.
Many people turned around, strange in their hearts, gambling on the treasure of the stone, how could the door be closed.
Everyone looked up and found that the courtyard was about hundreds of meters wide, thousands of meters long, surrounded by high walls, each side of the high wall extended outward a corner, looking in the air, like a five-pointed star, on the five extended corners, each had an ancient old man or sitting or standing, standing on it, the momentum was extraordinary.
Wukong quietly glanced at the fire eye, and found that a large array had been laid in the sky above the courtyard, and the five ancient old men on the high wall should be the controllers of this large array, but as for the array eye, they didn't know where it was. He was also a little puzzled, could it be that this Shenzang Stone Workshop was engaged in such a big battle today, could it be that there was some attempt to fail?
At this time, many immortal cultivators in the crowd also saw the strangeness of the courtyard, pointing and discussing.
Zhu Da Shao straightened his stomach, and said angrily: "Hey, I said that the stone shopkeeper, you invited our big guy to this courtyard, and got five masters to press the formation, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"
"That's right, I look at the careful layout of this courtyard, the guards are strict, is it possible, the stone shopkeeper, what means do you want to use against us?"
The stone shopkeeper hurriedly squeezed out the crowd and hurriedly explained: "Don't be impatient, don't be suspicious, please allow me to explain", he wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, didn't bother to clear his throat, and then said: "This heavy courtyard is the most heavily guarded place in my Shenzang Stone Workshop, and today, we have set up a big array here."
"Wow", the crowd suddenly exploded.
"What's the matter, it's just a treasure appraisal, why are you setting up a formation?" the pig shouted loudly.
"This is a bit of a sign that there are no silver three hundred taels here, shopkeeper Shi, you have to explain it to everyone", that Zhen Gongzi squeezed out of the crowd and said with a serious face.
"It must be explained, it must be explained, otherwise, we ask for a refund". Many people raised their arms and shouted, their faces indignant.
The stone shopkeeper hurriedly wiped his sweat, and his heart was shocked, "Everyone, please listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation", the stone shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and saw that the crowd gradually quieted down, and immediately explained: "The formation is for safety reasons, not for everyone, not for everyone, please don't be impatient."
"Oh, I see that in addition to the five elders pressing the array, there seems to be a master hiding behind this heavy courtyard, and this big array seems to be quite simple", the white-bearded old man of Xuanbingmen stroked his beard and said softly, although his voice was not high, but he was depressed, and everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.
"Elder Jian really has good eyesight," the stone shopkeeper hurriedly said, "This array is the treasure of my Shenzang Shifang Town Hall, named: Five Elements Qiankun Array."
"Sure enough, sure enough," Elder Jane nodded.
Seeing that everyone was shrugging their ears to listen to him, the stone shopkeeper had to continue, "Because of the battle between Master Seven Nights and Ziyi Gongzi yesterday, the stone broke the earth, and it really alarmed my family's big shopkeeper, so last night he sent a master from the main hall to conduct a careful investigation of these two stones", he pointed to the two huge stones standing in front of him, "It turned out", as he spoke, he suddenly stopped, his face full of mystery.
Someone was impatient, "What did you find, you should say it quickly, don't always grind and chirp."
When the stone shopkeeper heard this, his old face turned red, and he said: "After repeated and meticulous inspections by the experts of the main hall, it was found that these two stones may be unknown in pregnancy, so after careful consideration, this large array will be laid down today, just in case."
"Repeatedly and carefully inspected? Which piece of stone in this stone workshop have not been repeatedly and carefully examined, and why are you now repeatedly and meticulously inspected?" A thin man raised his hand in opposition.
"That's right, check the hair, and the head of the hall experts," the other whispered.
"You", the stone shopkeeper is angry.
"That's it, I see, I'm afraid it's because of yesterday's competition between the two masters, the treasure was cut out, which alarmed the main hall, and they were afraid that these two stones would cut out some strange treasures, so they were afraid, and they quickly checked it first." The skinny man continued.
"Hahaha, I don't think eight or nine are far from ten, this Shenzang Stone Workshop is a small family, I'm afraid of losing my wife and losing my soldiers", the other person echoed loudly.
"Thin old five, don't stand and talk without back pain, and spew blood from your mouth", the stone shopkeeper's face was red and white, and he pointed to the two, "I still don't know the insidious intentions of your Julu Shifang"?
"Cut, don't change the topic", the thin old man looked at the sky with two eyes, "Today, I am cutting stones in your Shenzang Stone Workshop, and I don't care what happens to Julu Stone Workshop."
"Ahem", Elder Jian stood up, "Although it is inappropriate to arrange the Shenzang Stone Workshop today, but safety is no trivial matter, and the stone shopkeeper is also considering the personal safety of the big guys, I think, everyone is still calm and calm, and watch the game well."
Shopkeeper Shi glanced at Elder Jian gratefully.
"Okay, we're just here to watch the Seven Nights Master Competition, just look at the results, not the process", that Zhen Gongzi shook his head and said, "As for safety, I'll leave it to the stone shopkeeper, the stone shopkeeper should be careful, we people are either rich or expensive, if there is a slight mistake, your stone shopkeeper will lose his head."
"That's, that's", Shopkeeper Stone nodded hurriedly. He can't afford to offend these old and young masters.
"It's time, hurry up and race, I'm hungry when I'm waiting", Zhu Dashao wiped his saliva.
"Haha", someone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
The stone shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the hour, and found that when the time came, he hurriedly calmed down, and said in a lengthened voice: "Now, I announce that the ultimate showdown between Shenzang Shifang, Master of the Seven Nights and Prince Ziyi, the treasure appreciation event has officially begun."
Everyone sighed for a long time, and the game finally began.
Qiye put down the teacup and was about to get up and take a step, when he heard a rough voice at the gate shouting: "The princess has arrived", the voice was loud and subdued.
The crowd turned back.
Half a pillar of incense has passed.
"What princess, such a?" someone muttered quietly.
The crowd gradually separated a passage, and a middle-aged man in black with an arrogant face walked first, followed by eight tall and strong men, all of whom looked fierce and vicious. After the eight strong men entered the courtyard, they quickly stood on both sides, standing with their heads held high and not squinting.
Wukong took a closer look, and found that the middle-aged man in black was the person he met at the gate of Julu City the day before yesterday, at this time, the middle-aged man in black had already walked in front of the stone shopkeeper with a golden knife, standing still, his eyes looked around, his eyes swept over Wukong and others, and when he saw Wukong, he snorted slightly without changing his face.
Wukong looked carefully and didn't make a sound, this kind of minion, he disdained it.
The stone shopkeeper has already greeted him, "It turned out that Lord Wei came to Shifang, and the gods are really full of brilliance", the stone shopkeeper's tone was flattering but dignified.
Wukong immediately looked at this stone shopkeeper a little impressed, it seems that this guy is not all perfunctory and afraid of power.
Many people look sideways, but there are also many people who disdain.
The princesses and princes of this earthly kingdom are not valued by most immortal cultivators, they are not greedy for wealth and wealth, and they are not attached to power. In troubled times, large and small countries are tilting against each other, all beings can not be themselves, many people cultivate immortals and worship gods, and the lord of a country is no exception.
Although most immortal cultivators disdain and are unwilling to rely on state power, they have to deny that as a state machine, they do have advantages that ordinary people cannot match, such as wealth and treasures, such as human resources, and even providing the best cultivation ground, cultivation methods, and so on.
"Princess," a voice shouted.
I heard a noise at the door, and a petite figure gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked closely, and saw a little Lori about eight or nine years old, wearing a pink long dress, with a face like a jade, thin eyebrows and big eyes, and a bow tied on her head, walking proudly without squinting. He was followed closely by eight strong men, who were also powerful and vicious.
Wukong said secretly, "Sure enough, there must be a servant, the middle-aged man in black and this proud little princess are really carved out of a mold."
"Hehe, this little Lori, is it quite Peugeot", Zhu Dashao wiped his saliva.
"The formation is big enough," someone said.
The rest of the people were silent.
Seeing that the little Lori was unimpeded all the way, she looked at everyone and found that thousands of eyes were focused on her, and she was very proud in her heart. But I glanced at it inadvertently, but found that in the crowd on both sides, there was only one Taoist priest who looked at the sky with both eyes and didn't look at her, which made her very unhappy in her heart.
Everyone was stunned and stunned.
It turned out that she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and she didn't have time to react in a hurry, and this fall was really enough to choke.
The eight men looked at each other, their faces turned pale in an instant, and after reacting, they rushed forward to help.
After struggling for a while, the little Lori shook off the support of the subordinates and staggered up, she turned her head to look at everyone, and suddenly burst into tears.
The middle-aged man in black made a tiger leap and quickly came to the front of Xiao Lori, he knelt on one knee, his face was pale, "My subordinates are late to save the car, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will forgive her sins."
"I don't care, I don't care", the little Lori danced her teeth and claws, and her crying stopped abruptly, she pointed at Goku with her hand, "It's all this guy, he didn't even look at me, caused me to fall, threw him out for me, and tore him up."
Wukong was stunned for a moment, "How can this be related to himself, it's really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky", he was about to speak, when he saw that the middle-aged man in black had already walked over with a murderous aura.
"Wait," a voice suddenly sounded.
"Bold", the middle-aged man in black stopped in response, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke, "Who dares to stop my Lord Wei's steps"?
"I", a purple figure parted the crowd and strode out.
The man in black saw the person clearly, his face was stunned, and he was about to scold, when he heard the little Lori behind him leap with joy, "It turned out to be Uncle Ziyi", his body trembled, and he quickly dodged away. I saw that Her Royal Highness the princess had already opened her arms and ran towards Ziyi.
Ziyi stood there with a smile, letting Xiao Lori hold her waist. After a while, he gently stroked the little Lori's head with his hand and said softly: "You kid, don't stay in the palace well, why do you come here to join in the fun"?
Little Lori raised her head, "Uncle Zi, you didn't promise me last time, when I was my master, early this morning, I heard that you were here, so I hurried over to find you", she held Ziyi's thighs with both hands and shook for a while, "Uncle Zi, you have to make decisions for Tongtong today."
"Oh, what do you want me to do for you?" Ziyi asked with a smile.
Little Lori pointed at Wukong with tears in her eyes, "It's all him, I fell just now, and now my hands and feet still hurt."
"Hehe, you kid, it's obvious that you were careless, and you blame others", Ziyi scolded softly.
"Master", little Lori blushed and said pitifully.
"Okay, okay, today is the final battle between the division and the seven nights, so don't make trouble for me."
"What, Uncle Zi, you agreed to be my master?"
"Hmm", Ziyi nodded reluctantly.
"Haha, I finally have a master", little Lori jumped for a while, and her face instantly turned bright.
Lord Wei and all his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief.
Zi Yi shook her head helplessly. He took little Lori's hand and walked in slowly. When passing by Wukong's side, the little Lori waved her small fist at Wukong, and shouted softly, "Hmph, adults don't remember villains, this time for the sake of the master's face, I will spare you once", after speaking, she walked over without looking back.
Wukong couldn't laugh or cry a little, this little princess, ordinary people, really can't be provoked.
