"Since our emperor took the rejuvenation pill, his temperament has become like that of a child. He likes liveliness and weird things. His favorite thing is to watch juggling, oh no, it's magic. Yes, yes, it's magic.
As long as you make him happy later, the rest of your journey will be easy, and you will definitely spend a lot of gold.
But let me make it clear first, as a rule of thumb, if I introduce you, I will share half of the money I get from you."
Typical words between liars. Tang Xuanzang did not have any doubt at all. He was convinced that the so-called Imperial Master was a liar. He bullied the naive emperor. This man's character was not very good.
But there is still a rejuvenating medicine in this world? Brag!
Therefore, Tang Xuanzang did not take all this seriously. He also wanted money and did not refuse the emperor's reward, but he would not lie to others and use such cheap and ridiculous tricks. He was an upright exorcist with three men under his command.
The disciples are all very powerful, how could they not shock the emperor by showing off their skills?
This is not cheating, but a performance. Sharing the spoils becomes "sharing the profits". You have to pay the introduction fee, right?
From the looks of it, Tang Xuanzang was not a fool, but he still had some enlightenment. He was able to change concepts quite smoothly.
The palace is not bad, very grand, with water colors of gold and red, and a large fountain square at the entrance. There are several people kneeling with their heads touching the ground at the entrance. They say they are being punished if they lose in a game.
Without asking, I guessed that these people must have lost by playing a game with the emperor.
When playing games with the emperor, you have to lose even if you don’t lose.
On the contrary, the three demons following Tang Xuanzang looked at each other, and they all realized that there was something abnormal about the palace.
The demonic energy! The majestic demonic energy! It's even much stronger than the demonic aura on Zhu Ganghei and Sha Wujing.
"Elder brother, why is this place so strange? It turns out there is a demon! This momentum doesn't look weak. I'll have to rely on you when the time comes." Zhu Ganghe said in a low voice as he approached Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong, however, remained silent. There was more than just a little bit of demonic energy in his eyes and perception. He could also clearly see deeper things.
When you push open the golden palace door, what catches your eyes and ears is not a solemn scene. Instead, it is similar to a lively circus, with all the chaos and chaos of acrobatics in strange costumes. And at the farthest end of these acrobatics
At the end is a high platform. The high platform is not the emperor's dragon chair, but a huge wooden horse, and a chubby young man is riding on it, laughing and playing.
"That is our Majesty. Just treat him as a child and coax him well. If he is happy, he will be worth a lot of gold. Okay, I will go and pass it on for you." The smiling Master Jiugong said in front of Tang Xuanzang
After whispering a few words in his ear, he trotted to the high platform and reported the arrival of Tang Xuanzang and his entourage.
The surrounding music stopped for a moment. The emperor riding on the huge wooden horse also rushed down with a look of joy. Then he opened his arms and said to Tang Xuanzang that he wanted to "hug" him before he could salute.
This immediately confused Tang Xuanzang. You are the emperor, okay? The first time you meet someone when you come down, you want to hug him? What the hell is this!
But even when Tang Xuanzang was stunned, the emperor was not happy anymore.
"Don't give me face? Are you putting on airs? Huh, tell me, it is said that you are an exorcist. Let me see what you can do."
This condescending tone made people unhappy. But Tang Xuanzang was used to it. He had a very upright mentality. He came here just to make money and to prepare for his long journey westward. What does it matter if he lowers his voice? Besides,
, He is an emperor by nature, so this attitude is considered good. We cannot expect the emperor to be full of enthusiasm for the monk.
The emperor wanted to watch juggling, but Tang Xuanzang couldn't do it. He didn't even know magic. But he had his own method. Among the three demons under his command, which one was not powerful and powerful? They could play with a flesh-palm-breaking white blade, or some kind of flesh-palm ground.
Isn’t it easy and enjoyable to dig holes?
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, my apprentice will give you the most exciting performance right away!" After Tang Xuanzang said this, he turned around and asked any of his three apprentices to come out and show off their skills. However, he did not expect to be directly interrupted by the emperor.
"What? You really look down on people? Now that we are here, you are reluctant to let your apprentice come out to fool me? No! You have to do it yourself, otherwise you just look down on me, and I will chop off your head!"
Behead?!
This was not very friendly. Tang Xuanzang was not Sun Wukong. If his head fell off and he could pop out another one, he did not have the ability. He quickly begged for mercy, saying that he definitely did not look down on the other party, but because his apprentice had already achieved success in his studies.
, the performance is absolutely wonderful and will definitely satisfy His Majesty.
"No! I want to watch you do tricks! If you don't want to, then you are looking down on me! Drag him out and chop him up!"
This situation is different from the crises encountered in the past three years. In the past, they were monsters, bandits, beasts, etc., but now in Tang Xuanzang's eyes, these are ordinary people. How can people kill people? This goes against what he upholds.
concept. But we can’t just have our heads chopped off, right?
"Wukong, save me! Save me!"
The only ones they could rely on were their "disciples". However, these disciples' attitude towards Tang Xuanzang and their sense of identity were very strange, and they even wished that Tang Xuanzang would have his head chopped off. In this case, they would have an excuse.
For example, because he was worried about hurting innocent mortals, he let Tang Xuanzang die because he failed to rescue him, etc. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, there was always something to say.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to show you my skills. I was just joking with you. Don't you think it's funny?" Tang Xuanzang was so anxious that he seemed to be following the emperor's words and said this. He wanted to provoke the other party and let him go first.
yourself, and then you can think of a solution.
Of course, the Jiugong master next to him seemed to be quite enthusiastic. He laughed loudly and said that Tang Xuanzang was really joking with His Majesty, and he took it seriously. Even the weird emperor hesitated on his face, and finally decided to give Tang Xuanzang a show.
opportunity, but I also said that if it doesn’t look good, I’ll have my head chopped off later.
Tang Xuanzang got the opportunity and quickly took the three apprentices to a small room for discussion. He was also smart and knew that he had to rely on the strength of these apprentices to tide over the difficulties, so he did not mention a word about why he was in crisis just now.
But no one among his disciples came to help him.
Sun Wukong shrugged, and a talisman was affixed to Tang Xuanzang's body. This was a very simple little spell, called "Puppet Talisman". There were two main talismans and two secondary talismans. The main talisman was affixed to the caster's body, and the secondary talisman was affixed to the caster's body.
On the body of the recipient. After the effect is produced, whatever the caster does, the recipient will follow suit and say what he said, and can even control some of the caster's magical means.
"Go on, just go out like this, and I'll help you shock that bullshit emperor!" Sun Wukong said, but a hint of slyness flashed across his eyes.
