Chapter 4: The Prison
This old man is different from Liu Banxian, who was arrested before, the former has a kind of fairy temperament. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Behind him was a dazzling white light, and although the red boy couldn't see his face clearly, he could see the outline of his tall body.
"Red boy," the old man smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes kind and lovely, "come here." ”
The red boy looked the old man up and down, and asked vigilantly, "This old man, who are you?"
"Haha, you're still a very polite child," the old man squinted his eyes and stroked his long snow-white beard, which had fallen to his abdomen, "but I won't tell you now, and one day you will know." Hey. ”
"Uh. After hearing this, the red boy was speechless for a while, and secretly said in his heart why this old man loves to sell Guan Zi so much.
"It's not that I'm selling off, it's just because it's not the time yet. The old man's white eyebrows rose slightly, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The red boy was a little puzzled, "Grandpa, do you know how to read minds, how did you read through my mind just now?"
"Red boy, come here. The old man did not answer the red boy's question directly, but just beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over.
The red boy was suspicious, and slowly walked towards the old man, until the old man came to him, he really saw the old man's appearance clearly: under the broad forehead are two long white eyebrows, not long or short, just the tail end hangs down at the corner of the eye, a pair of bright eyes are located at both ends of the tall nose, the whole person looks full of energy!
"Red Boy," the old man stroked Red Boy's soft hair, "Tomorrow, you have to save someone, and you must not let your father, the Bull Demon King, hurt his life." ”
"Grandpa, the person you said you need me to save is Liu Banxian in my prison?" asked the red boy.
"Red Boy is really smart, yes, this is the person. The old man laughed.
"Grandpa, how can I save it? I don't even know where my prison is?" asked the red boy, scratching his head.
"Haha, it's up to your ingenuity to save it. It's the time of the sea, and tomorrow you will wait for me at the Cuiyun River Valley, and I will naturally come. Remember!"
At this moment, in the dream, there was no dazzling white light behind the old man, and only the red boy was left standing alone in the boundless black background.
Who is this old man?
What is the relationship between him and Liu Banxian?
Why did he ask me to save Liu Banxian?
These questions in his mind made Red Boy both puzzled and curious. In fact, since he came to this world, it is more about the questions he has about this world in his heart. However, no one has told him what kind of world this is.
After some time, the black background faded, and he felt a natural color of light enveloping his body.
"Son, it's time to get up. Princess Iron Fan gently pushed the red child lying on the stone bed.
The red boy gently opened his hazy sleepy eyes, he sat up, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Mother, what time is it?"
"Silly boy," said the Iron Fan Princess, snickering as she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, "You slept so hard that you forgot the hour? ”
"Oh, it's so late. The red boy lowered his head and answered.
"Son, my mother wanted to call you earlier, but seeing that you slept so soundly, she didn't want to disturb you. Now that you're awake, let's eat something first. Princess Iron Fan handed a plate of pastries to Red Boy.
The red boy hesitated for a moment, didn't take the plate, just smiled slightly, and said, "Mother, I'll go wash it first and then eat." As he spoke, he jumped out of bed and ran to a stone basin filled with water to rinse his mouth and face.
Princess Iron Fan put the pastries on the stone table, sat on the stone bench, looked at the busy back of the red child, and secretly rejoiced: what a clean child, much better than the sloppy old cow.
When the red boy had finished washing, he walked over to the stone table, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't know how he could be so hungry. Maybe it's because I dreamed too much last night and spent a lot of brain cells!
"Eat slowly, kid, don't choke. These pastries are all yours. The Iron Fan Princess saw the red boy gobbling up and persuaded with a smile.
"Uh-huh. Red Boy said vaguely with something stuffed into his mouth. Princess Iron Fan sat across from Red Boy, but her smiling gaze never left Red Boy, which made Red Boy herself a little embarrassed.
It wasn't until the pastries on the sixth plate were wiped out that the red boy burped, touched his bulging little belly and said, "Mother, I'm full." ”
"The child is full, the mother will take you around, okay?" Princess Iron Fan took the red child's little hand, and the mother's love overflowed.
"Okay," Red Boy smiled at Princess Iron Fan and nodded, "Mother, I want to go to the cave to have a look." ”
"What are you doing in the cave? Son, there's nothing fun there. Princess Iron Fan was stunned.
The red boy pulled the sleeve of the Iron Fan Princess with his other hand, although he heard the Iron Fan Princess's refusal, but he still said calmly: "Mother, as the child of you and your father, the child must always understand the structure of the Basho Cave, or other little demons will laugh at the uselessness of the child, how bad the impact will be, right?"
Princess Iron Fan thought for a while, and said briskly: "Think about it, that's okay! Mother will take you to have a look, but you will have to go to that place less in the future, Mother feels that unlucky." ”
"Yes, the child remembers the teachings of his mother. The red boy let go of his hands, followed the example of the ancients, and clenched his fists at the Iron Fan Princess. When the iron fan princess saw the movements of the red boy, the more she watched it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help laughing.
The princess of the iron fan led the little hand of the red boy through the dark cave paths, and the red boy secretly remembered the way as he walked. After a few turns and a narrow stone bridge, a heavy gray stone gate finally appeared in front of the red boy.
"Son, this is our prison, let me tell you, this prison is notoriously strong in our demon world. A slightly weaker true immortal may not necessarily be broken. If you want to go in, you have to carry the Bull Demon Order, otherwise you won't be able to get in at all. When we go back, I'll ask your dad to get you a bull magic order too. Princess Iron Fan said with a smug face. With that, she walked forward with the red boy.
When the four little demons guarding the door of the prison saw the princess of the iron fan, they all saluted respectfully: "Hello Madam!
"Well, I'll take the young master in to take a look, quickly give way!" Princess Iron Fan's tone was a little arrogant.
Hearing this, the four little demons hurriedly got out of the way, and the princess of the iron fan immediately took out a golden token in the shape of a bull's head and placed it in a small hole in the center of the stone gate. Red Boy thought to himself that this must be the Bull Demon Order.
Suddenly, the stone gate shook violently, making a loud "boom" sound, and then, eight bright and shining golden lights accompanied by thunderous sounds, shooting from the holes in the door in eight different directions. In the blink of an eye, this golden light filled every corner of the cave where the cave was located, and the entire cave shone brightly. Then, the golden token merged with the stone gate and turned into a white cow of no size, and it opened its mouth violently, and spit out a mouthful of white gas like a thick fog from the mouth of a cow the size of a stone basin.
At this moment, the stone gate slowly opened, and the white cow gradually became illusory. Until the stone gate was fully opened, the white cow was gone. Princess Iron Fan straightened her clothes and walked in holding the red child's hand tightly.
"Look, boy, this is our prison. Princess Iron Fan said lightly.
The red boy quickly glanced at it and found that there were no demon soldiers inside, so he raised his head and asked Princess Tiefan: "Mother, this cave is such an important place, why is there no demon soldier stationed there?"
"Child, these people inside are just mortal people with a little cultivation, they have the ability to come in, I'm afraid they don't have the ability to go out. Your dad picks one of these every once in a while to eat. Princess Iron Fan said contemptuously at these people who had no freedom and their faces were numb.
The red boy stepped forward and counted silently in his heart, there were fifty iron cages, thirty of which contained people. He casually grabbed a human cage and looked at it carefully, the man inside was facing him, ragged, haggard, hair messy, and as thin as a skeleton wrapped in human skin, which would scare many people to death when he went out.
"There is no door or lock in this cage, how can it be opened?" muttered to the red boy as he touched the cage. The reason why he didn't dare to ask Princess Iron Fan directly was because he was afraid of arousing his mother's suspicions, if he wasn't more cautious, he wouldn't be able to get the Bull Demon Order.
"Don't look at it, I've been here for hundreds of years, we can't get out, only the three drops of blood of the cave master or the cave master's direct blood relatives can break the cage formation, and only one at a time. The "skeleton" voice was cold and low, without the slightest hint of anger, like a dead man.
The red boy looked at the "skeleton shelf" crawling on the grass in surprise, and just wanted to say a word of thanks, but who knows, the "skeleton shelf" in front of him instantly became sparse, turned into a misty mist, and finally dispersed.
Red Boy's eyes widened, and the cold voice of Princess Iron Fan came from her ears: "What a mouth." He turned his head to see that the iron fan princess's green jade fingers were still in mid-air, and the direction of the fingertips was where the skeleton was.
Retracting her jade finger, Princess Iron Fan shook her head and sighed, "A distraction period food was wasted in vain. Then he walked over to the red boy.
"Son, let's go back, it's smoky here. The Iron Fan Princess took the red child's smooth, jade-like hand, and it was evident that she was a little impatient in the cave.
"Okay, mother. The red boy responded loudly, and at the same time, he also quickly glanced at Liu Banxian's location with his spare eyes. After speaking, the princess of the iron fan didn't say a word, and eagerly dragged the red boy in front of her and walked out.
As soon as the two of them stepped out with their two feet, the stone door behind them slammed shut. Princess Iron Fan turned around and calmly took down the token that had been placed in the hole in the stone gate, and finally left here with the red child.
