"Get out of the way!"
His Highness is about to draw his sword.
But he was so frightened that he shrank back.
"Chun'er, don't make mistakes!"
The voice sounded like a knife and a file, it was none other than King Fu.
Li Qi changed from his normal state and said in a deep voice: "Boys, do you know that these four white monkeys are the greatest treasures in the world that I, Xia, have been searching for for three hundred years."
His Highness suddenly let go, breaking into a cold sweat.
There is a folk song that goes:
When the white monkey sleeps, the world is peaceful; when the white monkey wakes up, the world is in chaos.
When the world is in chaos, Xia Ya will be born.
——It turns out that these white monkeys refer to the four in front of me.
——Then he almost committed a first-class capital crime and almost ruined the empire's thousand-year plan.
He put down the hand that drew his sword tremblingly, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at King Fu.
King Fu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was looking at him.
The eyes are bottomless.
His Highness wanted to avoid this look, but there were some things that he couldn't avoid.
Such as murderous intent.
There is an unprecedented cold and murderous intention that has tightly surrounded and locked him.
——If he had really drawn his sword just now, he would probably have been killed on the spot.
I had always looked down on this romantic little emperor uncle, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts. But at this moment, his murderous intention was so strong and so determined. After spending decades with him since childhood, I had never seen him. Never noticed it.
I had never noticed that he had any murderous intention, which made His Highness shudder even more than the murderous intention itself.
He wanted to say something to ease his mood, but he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth.
At this time, His Highness the Fifth Prince spoke: "Uncle, how can we wake up this monkey?"
The young man in green shirt has already seen some clues and knows that the awakening of the Northern Monkey is a crucial step. The ultimate solution is probably to get the four monkeys together.
What he said at this time was just enough to save His Highness from the siege.
"This Northern Monkey likes the pure things in the world, so he must first take the pure things of the four seasons, the first willow leaf tooth in spring in Yongchun City, the first red cicada shed in summer under Xia Duo Mountain, and the glass fish products in autumn in Jicheng Lake. The first glass egg laid, and the first piece of snow that fell in winter in the Taierji City Mountains, and then we need to take the pure things of the four seasons, the full-bearded baby girl born on the top floor in the cold season, and the hot stove in the valley. The rouge rice grains that are not yet ripe, the cloudy sheep’s pupils that are shining directly when the sun is hot, and finally the Qixue ink sticks that are about to be used up, are paired with the pure things from the four directions, the Pearl of the East, the Pearl of the South. Fire, water from the west, and gold from the north, set up an altar on the shore of the Qinghai Sea for refining, and refined it for 10,001 days to create the golden elixir, also known as the 'awakening pearl'."
Perhaps because he was afraid that His Highness would cause trouble again, or perhaps he came to smooth things over, the Grand Star Officer Gu Xing also explained a lot in one breath.
He took out a golden elixir from his sleeve that was neither round nor lustrous. He tossed it gently and dropped it into the box in front of the girl in yellow. When it was about to land on Beihou's face, it suddenly cracked and shattered into pieces. Countless dust and a strange fragrance spread, and everyone was in high spirits when they smelled it.
After a while, the northern monkey really woke up, yawned, and from time to time, he actually spoke.
"It's - who - ah -" word by word, like a girl's voice, extremely clear.
It stretched and slowly stood up from the gold box.
"It's - it's over -" the voice changed again, this time like an old man's, as angry as a thread.
It also had a weapon, a silver hand halberd, which was originally hidden under its body. It waved it a few times, and then began to speak again, in a voice that was neither female nor male: "He is coming..."
Before he finished speaking, the Northern Monkey jumped up and jumped into the golden cauldron.
The three monkeys who were already in the cauldron saw the northern monkey arriving and made a sharp cry. The northern monkey also responded sharply. The four monkeys were babbling as if they were singing. There was water in the cauldron. Suddenly, there was water in the cauldron. It started to boil, and in the steaming heat, the four monkeys spread out their posture and began to sing and dance around the bottom of the cauldron.
The more the water boils, the faster the dance becomes.
The screams of the four monkeys are getting louder and shriller, like countless whistles echoing in the valley. But if you listen carefully, what these four white monkeys are saying——
East east east…south south south
West West West…North North North
The east is auspicious...the west is unfavorable
Death in the South…Life in the North
Jijiji... fierce, fierce, fierce
Death, death, death...life, life, life
…
This sound is like a sorcerer chanting a mantra. The mantra is endless, going back and forth, circulating, wandering and spinning in the cauldron, in the hall, and in the ears of everyone.
Everyone seemed to feel that everything around them was spinning, and the water in the cauldron also turned into a whirlpool. What was originally a war dance among the four monkeys in the whirlpool had turned into a deadly fight. It turned out that this was the reason why they held weapons. At the beginning, you can see spears and swords in the east and west, blood flowing out, and skin and flesh peeling off. When the speed of the four monkeys becomes faster and faster, and the vortex in the cauldron becomes faster and faster, you can only see the four white monkeys changing into... It became four whirling white threads, fighting each other, and occasionally some red blood, black flesh, and white bones, like an invisible hand, smashed the four monkeys into pieces in the cauldron, and the flesh and blood blurred into a piece of color. Stir.
The four young men seemed to be trapped in it. The cauldron was like a flywheel, a whirlpool, or a hurricane. Sometimes it was like the sun and the moon, alternating between day and night. Sometimes it was like two fishes holding each other head to tail. Sometimes it was like two hands, clamping each other, turning up and down. fly……
Big dream-like changes, big abstractions.
While mumbling, they all saw, seemed to hear, or maybe felt, a pattern emerging, changing, and replaying in front of their eyes, in their minds, and even everywhere in their bodies.
A pattern that is both yes and no, something and nothing, you within me, me within me, a pattern that cannot be described or even reproduced.
Appear gradually.
This pattern seems to allow them to see everything in the world, the past and the future, the universe, the ether and the ear, everything is in it, all in this endless rotation.
Suddenly, I am intoxicated, and for thousands of years, it is like a horse watching a flower, repeated over and over again.
It's like everything about you, your life, and your world suddenly surges up together, turns up, and sinks again.
Like drowning in the phantom sea of memory, the galaxy of memories...
The moment the four of them were about to explode in their thoughts, the star officer Gu Xing shouted loudly, as if a sharp needle had pierced the hallucination: "Your Highness, you can choose——"
The four young men just woke up from a dream. In shock, they saw King Fu coming to the cauldron and nodding towards Lu Ran.
Lu Ran didn't see the pattern. He only saw a disgusting ball of flesh and blood swirling in the cauldron. At first, there was a strong smell of blood, and then a strange and disgusting smell of meat wafted out.
Seeing King Fu calling him, Lu Ran stepped forward and stood in front of him across the tripod.
King Fu stretched out his right hand, and Lu Ran stretched out his left hand accordingly.
King Fu smiled slyly at Lu Ran. In an instant, he took out a small knife with his left hand and cut the index finger of Lu Ran's outstretched hand.
A drop of blood flew into the cauldron like a drop of rapid rain.
Then the knife turned around and cut his finger again.
Another drop of blood fell into the cauldron. The two bloods did not mix and continued to swirl in the cauldron, making some tingling and popping sounds.
The cauldron suddenly exploded, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and bright light dazzled the eyes.
After a few breaths, the whirlpool in the cauldron gradually stopped, and only a monkey was heard roaring. Looking closely, it was the weakest southern monkey. It stood in the center of the cauldron, holding up the golden sword with both hands. A drop of blood stopped on the tip of the knife.
The remaining three monkeys had already lost their heads and were bathed in blood in the cauldron. It was a terrible mess.
The Southern Monkey licked the blood from the tip of the knife into his mouth and glanced at King Fu, his eyes still melancholy and deep.
Suddenly.
I don’t know how it did it, but it quickly cut off its own head, then knelt on its knees and held it in both hands.
This last white monkey actually killed himself to death.
Its head was facing King Fu, and there was not a drop of blood at the wound. Its hair was still white. The head in the hand had a face like a red heart, its eyes were wide open, and only the word "南" on its forehead became brighter.
"Go south."
King Fu Li Qi laughed happily, completely ignoring the boys around him who were still in shock, and shouted: "Here comes someone, change your clothes, open the door, open the window, open the table, let me drink a few bottles of him first."
He lay back on the throne in the main hall, looking as if he had got what he wanted. After a while, he sat up and his high-pitched and joyful voice echoed in the main hall.
"Lu Ran, you are indeed the 'destined person'."
