The lantern has eight petals, each held by eight young girls. When the eight petals are closed, they form a huge lotus.
Suddenly, the lotus blossomed and the stamen moved slightly. At this time, people were surprised to find that the stamen was a woman in colorful clothes.
When the woman appeared, the whole audience cheered. That person was the eldest princess of the Fengming Empire. Long Chen took a look at it, and she looked good and deserved a thumbs up.
After the eldest princess appeared, the jade hand stretched out, and two elegiac couplets appeared. The first couplet was: God Bless Fengming, and the second couplet was: Guotai Minan, which made the audience burst into cheers.
Long Chen smiled slightly, as an imperial princess, it was sad enough, like a group of crickets living in a small jar.
Fighting all day long, but thinking about yourself, why not? If you don’t fight with others, you will be trampled by others.
If it's just stepping on it, that's fine. The key is that he wants to trample you to death. This has nothing to do with grievances, whether it's good or bad, maybe it's the most primitive evil in human nature.
Long Chen was sighing, the second princess appeared, and Long Chen was distracted, but he didn't see how the second princess appeared, making Long Chen regretful.
But next was Chu Yao's lantern, Long Chen's eyes widened, for fear that he would miss something.
"boom"
First, there was a loud explosion, and a firework shot up into the sky, illuminating the sky and causing all the women to cheer.
But Cheering just remembered, and suddenly saw a huge shadow appear in the sky, a kite made of a giant dragon, whistling.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the giant dragon, a colorful phoenix came flying with gorgeous wings and sprinkled golden powder all over the sky, like a real phoenix coming into the world.
"Wow! So beautiful"
With the colorful powder in the sky, one dragon and one phoenix complement each other, just like a myth, bringing everyone into a strange world.
"boom"
A dragon and a phoenix hovered and danced and then landed slowly. A huge white light was ejected from the dragon and phoenix's mouth. The white light exploded and the ribbons flew.
When the ribbons dissipated, a beauty in ancient costume slowly emerged in front of the crowd, with delicate eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and the autumn water floating for eternity, such a peerless beauty.
"call"
As soon as the three princesses appeared, the whole scene was boiling. Many princes had long heard that the three princesses were so beautiful and beautiful, and they finally saw the true face of the three princesses today, and they screamed in excitement for a while.
Long Chen looked at the three princesses and stayed for a while. It was the first time that Long Chen saw Chu Yao who was deliberately dressed up.
Chu Yao's beautiful eyes flowed and looked around in the crowd. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up, her jade hand shook, and a small round ball flew out slowly and went straight to Long Chen.
Snapped!
Long Chen reached out to catch the ball, and saw a small tail on the ball.
The audience was suddenly silent, everyone's eyes were fixed on Long Chen, and the Queen Mother's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
But if it is said that the person with the most ugly face, it is only Xia Changfeng, the prince of Xia. Although he wants to show a calm appearance, he really can't do it, and his whole face is green with anger. .
The queen mother has decided to marry Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng, but Chu Yao's performance today is clearly the meaning of the dragon and the phoenix, and the ball in her hand is directly thrown to Long Chen.
Originally, a ball had no special meaning, but with the foreshadowing of the front lantern, it was completely different, exactly the same as the ancient procedure of throwing a hydrangea to choose a husband.
At this time, Xia Changfeng, despite his efforts to control it, still couldn't stop the trembling of his body, and the veins on the back of his hands burst out.
"Changfeng, be patient." Wei Cang glanced at Xia Changfeng and said.
"Master, don't worry, Changfeng can bear it." Xia Changfeng nodded, but in his voice, he couldn't hide his trembling.
At this time, Xia Changfeng wanted to bite Long Chen alive, and Long Chen also noticed the strange eyes of everyone.
Among the people present, only Master Yun Qi had a smile on his face, while the eyes of others were either complicated or jealous.
Long Chen looked at Chu Yao in the field, saw her beautiful eyes and a smile, and was looking at himself affectionately, and the jade hand gently pointed to the ball in Long Chen's hand.
At this time, Long Chen understood that it turned out to be a firework. He stretched out his hand and pulled the small tail on the ball and threw the ball directly into the sky.
"boom"
A brilliant light spread out, illuminating the entire square, and after the light dissipated, two flashing handwriting appeared in the sky.
"Dragon travels all over the world and travels thousands of miles, while the phoenix leaves the phoenix tree and accompanies Kyushu"
Looking at the long-lasting two lines in the sky, Xia Changfeng finally couldn't control it with a snap, and smashed the teacup in his hand.
"Long Chen, if I don't smash you to pieces, I won't be called Xia Changfeng, and Chu Yao, you bitch, I will make your life worse than death"
Blue veins burst out on Xia Changfeng's face, and Chu Yao's actions made him humiliated more than slapped him hard.
The Queen Mother's face was also extremely ugly. She didn't expect Chu Yao to be so bold, to show her love to a man in such a public occasion.
Long Chen was also stunned and saw Chu Yao standing on the stage in the distance. At this time, Chu Yao's pretty face was covered with red clouds, but her face was firm.
Looking at Long Chen, the tears in the beautiful eyes slowly flowed out, which made Long Chen feel a pain in his heart: Is she desperate? The thought of death has arisen, and you want to express your wishes before dying
Looking at Chu Yao's tearful face, Long Chen's mind suddenly turned blank, suddenly stood up, and shouted loudly: "Life and death do not abandon the blood and sea, the dragon and the phoenix depend on each other until the white head"
Long Chen's roar, like Hong Zhong Dalu, shocked everyone's heart. In his roar, there was an unwavering will and determination to die.
Chu Yao's delicate body was shocked, her jade hand covered her cherry lips, and tears rolled down her beautiful eyes. Originally, she only hoped that she could express her wishes in the last days. She didn't ask for anything, she just hoped that Long Chen Can understand her heart.
But Long Chen's answer didn't put him in a desperate situation. For a while, Chu Yao was moved and remorseful, and felt that he had hurt Long Chen.
"The third princess is tired, someone, please help her down." The queen mother resisted the anger in her heart and said coldly.
Five guards came over, just about to invite Chu Yao away, Master Yun Qi said indifferently: "Queen Mother, you are wrong.
It’s a good thing for young people to dare to love and hate, Chu Yao, come, if you don’t dislike it, just sit next to the old man.”
The empress dowager's face changed. He did not expect that Master Yun Qi, who had never asked about the world, would actually interfere in the affairs of the empire.
When Chu Yao saw Master Yunqi speak, she couldn't help being overjoyed. She didn't ask Master Yunqi to protect her, but she wanted Master Yunqi to protect Long Chen.
Thinking of this, Chu Yao knelt down on her knees slowly, but before she could kneel on the ground, Master Yun Qi stretched out his hand, and a gentle force lifted her up.
"Children, they are all my own, so don't need these common etiquettes." After Yun Qi finished speaking, he pulled Chu Yao to sit beside him.
But what makes people strange is that Wei Cang, who didn't deal with Yun Qi originally, just looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Although the queen mother was angry, she didn't want to offend Yun Qi because of this trivial matter. Without the support of the Alchemist Guild, no matter how powerful the country was, it would soon fall apart, so she could only endure it.
However, as the queen mother, she has a very deep scheming and a calm face. She smiled and said: "In this case, the show will continue."
After the queen mother said this, Shi Feng next to Long Chen stood up and moved his muscles and bones: "Hey, it's finally time for me to play"
The procedure in previous years was that after the princess presented the lantern, it was the prince's competition to compete for the title of Fengming's first warrior.
"The queen mother waits a minute, the old man came all the way from Daxia, happened to catch up with the Lantern Festival, and specially brought a wonderful program to the queen mother," Wei Cang suddenly said.
"Oh? The program brought by the master must be absolutely wonderful." After a moment of surprise, the queen mother said with a smile.
"This is my incompetent apprentice. I'm seventeen years old this year, and I'm already a real alchemist." Wei Cang said, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Cang, especially "the real thing". Heavy.
Everyone looked at Long Chen, as long as he wasn't a fool, he knew that Gu Cang was referring to Sang scolding Huai, meaning that Long Chen was just a parallel importer.
Long Chen was qualified as an alchemist, and many people were deeply suspicious of his true strength. After all, Long Chen's alchemy was inside the guild, and the outside world did not know it, so most people thought that Long Chen was just a With shit luck, there may not be any real talent.
After all, it has been named as a waste for too long, and Long Chen has risen too fast recently. Many people have doubts. There is a big hand behind Long Chen, and that big hand is likely to be Master Yunqi.
But no matter how miraculous Master Yun Qi is, it is impossible for him to turn a waste into an alchemist in just over two months.
When Long Chen heard Wei Cang's words, a sneer appeared on his face: The good show is coming.
Yun Qi didn't say anything, just listened to Wei Cang continue: "Today, let the little apprentice show his shame and make a pot of pills for everyone on the spot."
Hearing Wei Cang's words, the audience burst into cheers. Alchemy masters are highly respected. Everyone present has only heard of alchemy, but they have never seen it with their own eyes.
They are full of reverence and curiosity about this profession. If they can see the formation of an elixir with their own eyes, it is a great opportunity for them.
"But the so-called good things come in pairs. Wade White represents my Daxia Alchemist Guild, the younger generation of Alchemists, I wonder if someone from the Fengming Guild has come out to show their hands." After Wei Cang finished speaking, he looked at Master Yun Qi.
"She is your apprentice, but Long Chen is not yet my apprentice, so your thoughts may be in vain," Master Yun Qi said lightly.
Long Chen's heart moved, could it be that Yun Qi refused to accept himself as a disciple because of this
"Have fun, it's all for fun, and it's not for nothing."
As Wei Cang spoke, a jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand. There was actually a flame as thick as a thumb in the bottle, twisting constantly.
"This is the beast fire of the second-order Warcraft Yan Leopard. Whoever wins, I will reward it to whoever."
Xia Baichi looked at the beast fire, and there was a touch of excitement in her eyes. She had been thinking about the beast fire for a long time. Unexpectedly, Wei Cang was finally willing to take it out.
Wei Cang shook the beast fire in his hand, and said to Long Chen who was under the stage very tempting: "Boy, how are you, come up and play?"
For such an obvious temptation, everyone shook their heads in their hearts. This Wei Cang's behavior did not seem to fit the status of a master, it was too low-level.
Sure enough, Long Chen squinted at Wei Cang, his face was full of ridicule and disdain, but he just spit out a word.
"good"
"puff"
Fatty Yu and the others couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, Brother Long, what about your integrity
Under everyone's strange eyes, Long Chen walked up to the stage with three steps, and said to Xia Baichi carelessly:
"Your master said, let me play with you, you said, how to play?" (To be continued)
