The lantern has eight petals, held by eight girls respectively. When the eight petals are closed, they form a huge lotus.
Suddenly the lotus bloomed and the stamens moved slightly. Then people were surprised to find that the stamens were a woman in colorful clothes.
When the woman appeared, the whole audience cheered. She was the eldest princess of the Fengming Empire. Long Chen took a look and found that she looked good and deserved a thumbs up.
After the eldest princess appeared, she stretched out her jade hand, and two elegiac couplets appeared. The first couplet was: God bless Fengming, and the second couplet was: Guotai and people are safe, which made the whole audience burst into cheers.
Long Chen smiled slightly. As an imperial princess, she was quite sad, just like a group of crickets living in a small jar.
We fight all day long, but if we think about ourselves, it’s not like this. If you don’t fight with others, you will be stepped on by others.
If he just steps on you, that's it. The key is that he wants to step on you to death. This has nothing to do with hatred or good or bad. Perhaps this is the most primitive evil in human nature.
While Long Chen was sighing, the second princess appeared. When Long Chen was distracted, he didn't even see how the second princess appeared, which made Long Chen regretful.
But next came Chu Yao's lantern, and Long Chen opened his eyes wide, fearing that he would miss something.
"boom"
First there was a bang, and a firework shot into the sky, lighting up the sky and making all the women cheer.
But just as I remembered cheering, I suddenly saw a huge shadow appear in the sky, and a kite made of a giant dragon roared towards me.
At the same time, opposite the giant dragon, a colorful phoenix flew with gorgeous wings and sprinkled the sky with golden powder, just like a real phoenix coming to the world.
"Wow! So beautiful"
With the colorful powder all over the sky, a dragon and a phoenix complement each other, just like a myth, bringing everyone into a strange world.
"boom"
A dragon and a phoenix circled and danced before slowly falling to the ground. A huge white light erupted from the mouth of the dragon and phoenix. The white light exploded and colorful ribbons flew.
When the ribbons dispersed, a beauty in ancient costume slowly appeared in front of everyone, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and the autumn water floated for eternity. She was such a peerless beauty.
"call"
As soon as the third princess appeared, the whole scene was in a state of excitement. Many princes had long heard that the third princess was extremely beautiful and had captivated the country. Today they finally saw the true appearance of the third princess, and they were so excited that they screamed crazily.
Long Chen looked at the three princesses and was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that Long Chen saw Chu Yao who had been deliberately dressed up.
Chu Yao's beautiful eyes wandered around, looking around the crowd. Suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and with a shake of her hand, a round ball slowly flew out, and went straight to Long Chen.
Snapped!
Long Chen reached out to catch the ball and saw a small tail on the ball.
The whole place fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Long Chen. The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
But if we were to say that the person with the ugliest face was Xia Changfeng, the prince of Daxia, even though he wanted to appear calm and calm, he really couldn't do it. His whole face turned green with anger.
.
The Queen Mother has decided to marry Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng, but Chu Yao's performance today clearly meant that the dragon and the phoenix presented auspiciousness, and the ball in her hand was thrown directly to Long Chen.
Originally, a ball had no special meaning, but with the lanterns in front of it, it became completely different. It was exactly the same as the ancient process of choosing a husband by throwing a hydrangea ball.
Even though Xia Changfeng tried hard to control it, he still couldn't stop his body from shaking, and veins popped up on the back of his hands.
"Changfeng, be patient," Wei Cang glanced at Xia Changfeng and said.
"Don't worry, Master, Changfeng can bear it," Xia Changfeng nodded, but there was still a tremor in his voice.
At this time, Xia Changfeng wanted to bite Long Chen alive, and Long Chen also noticed the strange looks in everyone's eyes.
Among the people present, only Master Yunqi had a smile on his face, while the others were either complicated or jealous.
Long Chen looked at Chu Yao in the field and saw that her beautiful eyes were smiling and she was looking at him affectionately. She gently pointed at the ball in Long Chen's hand with her jade hand.
At this time, Long Chen understood that this was actually a firework. He stretched out his hand and pulled the small tail on the ball, and threw the ball high into the sky.
"boom"
A brilliant light spread out, illuminating the entire square. After the light dissipated, two flashing words appeared in the sky.
"The dragon travels across the sea and travels thousands of miles, and the phoenix leaves the phoenix tree and accompanies Kyushu."
Looking at the two lines of words in the sky that lingered for a long time, Xia Changfeng finally couldn't control himself and crushed the tea cup in his hand with a pop.
"Long Chen, if I don't cut you into pieces, I won't call you Xia Changfeng. And Chu Yao, you bitch, I will make your life worse than death."
Veins popped up on Xia Changfeng's face. Chu Yao's actions made him more embarrassed than a slap in the face.
The Queen Mother's face was also extremely ugly. She did not expect Chu Yao to be so bold and express her love to a man in such a public place.
Long Chen was also stunned when he saw Chu Yao standing on the stage in the distance. At this time, Chu Yao's pretty face was covered with red clouds, but she had a determined look on her face.
Looking at Long Chen, tears slowly flowed out from his beautiful eyes, which made Long Chen's heart hurt: Is she desperate? She actually had thoughts of death and wanted to express her wishes before she died?
Looking at Chu Yao's face full of tears, Long Chen's mind suddenly went blank. He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "I will never give up on the bloody sea road, and the dragon and the phoenix will depend on each other until they grow old."
Long Chen's roar was like a bell, shaking everyone's heart. His roar revealed his unwavering will and determination to rather die than surrender.
Chu Yao's delicate body trembled, her beautiful hands covered her lips, and tears streamed 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 put him in a desperate situation. For a moment, Chu Yao was moved and regretful, feeling that she had harmed Long Chen.
"The third princess is tired, please help her down," the Queen Mother said coldly, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Five guards came over, and just as they were about to invite Chu Yao away, Master Yunqi said calmly: "Queen Mother, you are not doing this right.
It's a good thing that young people dare to love and hate. Chu Yao, come on, if you don't mind, just sit next to the old man."
The Queen Mother's expression changed. He did not expect that Master Yunqi, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, would actually interfere in the affairs of the empire.
Chu Yao couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Master Yunqi speaking. She didn't ask Master Yunqi to protect her, but she wanted Master Yunqi to protect Long Chen.
Thinking of this, Chu Yao slowly knelt down on her knees, but before she could kneel on the ground, Master Yunqi stretched out his hand and a gentle force lifted her up.
"Children, we are all our own, so we don't need these mundane etiquettes." After Yun Qi finished speaking, he pulled Chu Yao to sit next to him.
But what is strange is that Wei Cang, who originally had no dealings with Yun Qi, 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 was extremely scheming, with a calm face and said with a smile: "In that case, let's continue the show."
When the Queen Mother said this, Shi Feng stood up next to Long Chen and stretched his muscles: "Hey, it's finally time for me to appear."
The procedure in previous years was that after the princess presented the lantern, there was a competition between the princes to compete for the title of Fengming's number one warrior.
"Hold on, Queen Mother. I came all the way from Daxia and happened to catch up with the Lantern Festival. I specially brought a wonderful show to the Queen Mother," Wei Cang suddenly said.
"Oh? The show brought by the master must be wonderful." The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile.
"This is my incompetent disciple. He is seventeen years old this year and is already a genuine alchemy disciple." Wei Cang said, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Cang, especially "genuine", these four words are particularly special.
Heavy.
Everyone looked at Long Chen. Anyone who was not a fool would know that Gu Cang was referring to Sang scolding Huai, which meant that Long Chen was just a parallel importer.
Long Chen was awarded the title of Alchemy Disciple, and many people had deep doubts about his true strength. After all, Long Chen made alchemy inside the guild, and the outside world didn't know about it, so most people thought that Long Chen was just an alchemy disciple.
If you have bad luck, you may not have any real talent.
After all, he has been called a waste for too long, and Long Chen has risen too fast recently. Many people have doubts that there is a big hand behind Long Chen, and that big hand is probably Master Yunqi.
But no matter how miraculous Master Yunqi is, he cannot turn a waste into an alchemy disciple in just over two months.
When Long Chen heard Wei Cang's words, a hint of ridicule appeared on his face: The show is about to come.
Yun Qi didn't say anything, and only listened to Wei Cang continue: "Today, let me show my shame and make a furnace of elixirs for everyone on the spot."
Hearing Wei Cang's words, the whole audience burst into cheers. Alchemists have a high status. Everyone present has only heard of alchemy, but has never seen it with their own eyes.
They are full of respect and curiosity for this profession. If they can see the formation of an elixir with their own eyes, it would be a great opportunity for them.
"But as the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Baichi represents our Daxia Alchemist Guild, the younger generation of alchemists, and I wonder if some of the Fengming Guild also come out to show their skills." After Wei Cang finished speaking, he looked at Master Yunqi.
"She is your disciple, but Long Chen is not my disciple yet, so I am afraid that all your thoughts have come to nothing," Master Yunqi said calmly.
Long Chen's heart moved. Could it be that this is the reason why Yun Qi has always refused to accept him as his disciple?
"It's just for fun. It's just for fun. Besides, it's not in vain."
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, which was constantly twisting.
"This is the beast fire of the second-level Warcraft Flame Leopard. I will reward it to whoever wins."
Xia Baichi looked at the beast fire, and a touch of excitement appeared in her eyes. She had been thinking about the beast fire for a long time, and unexpectedly, Wei Cang was finally willing to take it out.
Wei Cang waved the beast fire in his hand and said seductively to Long Chen in the audience: "Boy, what do you think, come up and play?"
Faced with such an obvious temptation, everyone shook their heads inwardly. Wei Cang's behavior seemed to be inconsistent with his status as a master. It was too low-level.
Sure enough, Long Chen looked at Wei Cang sideways, with ridicule and disdain on his face, and he just said one word lightly.
"good"
"puff"
Fatty Yu and others couldn't help but spit, Brother Long, where is your moral integrity?
Under everyone's strange gazes, Long Chen walked onto the stage in three steps, and said to Xia Baichi carelessly:
"Your master said, let me play with you, how do you want to play with me?"
