Chapter 766: The Disaster of Water and Moon
On the Dharma Appraisal Stage, the mage who took the stage this time did not use the same fancy and eye-catching method as before. He just slowly walked onto the stage from the steps on one side.
But because the previous one was about breathing wind, fighting skills, and monsters, it was so exciting, so even if this one just slowly walked onto the stage, he really attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, this mage looks a bit thin." "I think she might be a woman."
"It's not possible, I think it is!"
"You can't see clearly even if you have a hat covering your head."
The crowd over there was talking a lot because it was indeed somewhat confusing.
The large robe almost covered his whole body, and he wore a Taoist scarf on his head with a thick gauze hanging down so he couldn't see anyone clearly.
The mage's appearance on stage also attracted the attention of everyone on the emperor's side. Naturally, this person bowed to the emperor first.
"I'm Jin Lan, who comes from Guolongshan and is now on stage to perform for His Majesty!"
As soon as the beautiful female voice came out, all discussions about the gender of the other party ended. It was indeed a female mage.
The emperor had a look of interest on his face.
"Why is this mage covered with a veil? Why didn't I notice a mage wearing a veil before? Can you show me your true face?"
The mage slowly straightened up, seemingly hesitating, and nodded after a moment.
"Since His Majesty has a decree, I must obey it!"
After saying that, Jin Lan slowly took off the Taoist scarf with the veil sewn on it, and her long hair that was originally covered by the hat also fell down like a waterfall, revealing her true appearance.
The appearance of his face, even though he was still wearing robes, aroused the awe of all the nobles in the palace over there. Even they were used to seeing beautiful women, but they had to admit that the beauty of this mage's appearance was rare.
Some of the many mages around him frowned, while others expressed surprise. They really didn't expect that there would be such a woman among the many competitors!
The Three Saints of Xiao Shan were huddled in a corner, whispering to each other and looking solemn.
"This fellow Taoist on the stage looks very powerful!" "Well, he is a great threat to us."
"We're going to have a fight later?"
"Let's take a look. The chief instructor named Xiao is not easy to deal with. Killing Cao Nianwen with one palm is definitely not an ordinary warrior!"
While many people were talking, and many people were discussing the woman without seeing her true appearance, the emperor was completely stunned, and even couldn't help but stand up slowly.
"This, this you, could it be that the Fairy on the Moon has come down to see me?"
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the mage Jin Lan was extremely beautiful, but in the eyes of the emperor, he felt as if he had seen the Taiyin Fairy in the haze that day, and his whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.
"The Fairy on the Moon. The Fairy on the Moon"
The emperor's reaction surprised many people, especially the many mages who had seen the emperor being obsessed with the Moon Fairy during the New Year's Eve banquet.
But Jin Lan on the stage also looked troubled and shocked.
"Your Majesty, I am not a fairy on the moon, and I dare not compare my appearance with the fairy on the moon. Your Majesty must have admitted your mistake."
As Jin Lan said this, she used her right hand to hold up her long sleeve to cover half of her face, leaving only the bridge of her nose and eyes exposed, but she could not hide the smile on her face behind the sleeve.
Xiao Yuzhi, who was beside the emperor, had his hands behind his back, but he couldn't help but clenched his fists slightly. Needless to say, the man on the stage was definitely not a good guy, giving him a very evil feeling.
The emperor seemed to be more awake, but his eyes remained fixed on the stage.
"What trick does the fairy want to perform?"
Jin Lan put down her arms and answered with a smile on her face.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I will demonstrate to Your Majesty the technique of Mirror Flowers, Water Moon!"
"Oh? What is the method of mirror, flower, water and moon?"
"Hehehe. Your Majesty, just watch~~~"
While speaking, Jin Lan had already pinched the collar of her robe, then lifted it up, and she took off the entire robe.
"Wow, wow~~~"
The robe was thrown into the air and seemed to turn into flowing water or smoke, floating in the sky in the flow, and Jin Lan's graceful figure was finally exposed. Of course, she was wearing a gauze skirt.
It's just that this gauze skirt looks a bit thin on the first day of the new year.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
With the sound of water, the robe in the sky really began to expand and change. Mist appeared and dark clouds appeared. The clouds gradually rose and widened, even blocking the sunshine in the winter afternoon at this moment.
The clouds were shrouded, but most places were not dark. Only the small area on the Dharma Appraisal Stage seemed a little dark, but it did not affect the vision.
Jin Lan's figure danced with the changes in the clouds. When her body was spinning, the people around her finally saw her face clearly.
Some people exclaimed, some admired it, and countless people were obsessed with it. None of them made any sound, as if they had been attracted by it at that moment.
The messenger on the shelf in the corner of Tianxu Temple also stared blankly, but he seemed to have some professional ethics and still shouted outside.
"The female mage came on stage, and her beauty was unlike anything in this world - when the clouds rise, her dancing posture is also not like anything in this world -"
These few words are the words of the messenger, and also the words of many viewers, but for the crowds on the street, it is really difficult to think about it in just a few words. Everyone is clamoring for more people to speak, and there are many. Few people regret coming late.
Of course, when the cloud spreads wider, people on the street can also see it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
This time it was the sound of rain, not heavy, just on the Jianfa platform, and not even wet the emperor who was not far from the Jianfa platform.
But as the rain fell, the "fairy" dancing in the light mist on the platform got her clothes wet.
Everything around was so quiet, except for the sound of rain and water.
When the water waves filled the Jianfa platform, the waves seemed to reflect the sky, and a bright moon appeared above the dark clouds, and in the bright moon appeared the scenery on the Jianfa platform and the dancing "fairy".
"Since your majesty likes the fairy on the moon, then Jin Lan dares to use this method to present it to your majesty~~~"
The female voice sounded, and the dance became more graceful. The sight of the Dayong Emperor gradually looked from the platform to the sky.
The fairy dancing in the bright moon in the sky finally made many people on the street who could not see the Jianfa platform in Tianxu Temple see the mage on the stage, no, the fairy dancing on the stage.
Only then did people understand the beauty mentioned by the messenger!
On the roof of the building outside the street, even Long Simiao couldn't help but look up and stare at the fairy dancing in the moon.
Then, a pain came from his arm.
"Hey, Taoist priest, what are you doing?"
Yan Shouyun finally pinched Long Simiao awake.
"What am I doing? Why am I asking you? Don't be fooled. This thing is not a good thing. She is a demon!"
"What?"
Long Simiao reacted immediately and stopped looking at the sky. Instead, he looked at the woman in the mist on the Jianfa platform. As the saying goes, demons are good at confusing people. It is indeed a bit wrong to look at it this way.
Of course, Long Simiao thought so because he believed in his master and Yan Shouyun.
"How can this demon be eliminated?"
"We can only wait and see!"
What can Yan Shouyun do? He doesn't think he has any use except a pair of eyes.
Where Hui Mian and Qi Zhongbin are, most of the nearby Jianghu people are also looking at the "moonlight" in the sky, while one person and one Diao are staring at the woman on the Jianfa platform.
"Hmph, this thing is smarter than some big monsters."
"Heroes are hard to resist beauty, not to mention Xiang Yi, the tyrant! Qi boy, didn't you ask me where I went just now? Let me tell you."
Gray Mian whispered in Qi Zhongbin's ear, which made Qi Zhongbin look at it in astonishment, and then a bit of relief appeared on his face.
"After all, it is Senior Gray, Qi's vision is not as good as it!"
"Hey, you are just in a calamity. Of course, as an elder, I should be a little better than you, hahahaha"
On the judgement platform, Jin Lan's dance of mirror flowers and water moon continued. The rain gradually stopped, but the water on the platform did not flow away, as if it had become a huge mirror.
Afterwards, red flowers bloomed in the mirror, reflecting the beauty to form a picture scroll, and there was also the fragrance of flowers wafting out
After a long time, Jin Lan finally stopped dancing and faced the emperor again, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, bowed down and saluted, and even stretched Wang Yuanyuan's clothes to open his collar.
"Master Jin Lan, the performance is over. Your Majesty, please comment!"
The clouds in the sky disappeared at this moment, and the rain on the stage seemed to evaporate quickly. Everything returned to the way it was just now, except that Jin Lan's robes did not seem to be put back on, and the veil was not covered again.
The emperor came back to his senses from his daze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Good, good, the magician's skills are wonderful, it's really great!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jin Lan raised his head with a smile, but saw that Xiao Yuzhi had already stepped forward a few steps. His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a half step back.
"Master Jin Lan is very skilled. This mirror flower and water moon should be the illusion in Taoism, right?"
Xiao Yuzhi's voice was deep and powerful. The vibration of the innate true qi naturally brought a feeling of shocking foul air. He looked at the woman on the stage. Although his eyes were calm, he had already had the intention to kill in his heart.
This kind of illusion has no effect on the warriors of the innate realm. It was ridiculous to be flirting on the stage just now!
But this woman is also the one who gives Xiao Yuzhi the strongest sense of threat, not to herself, but to external objects.
The woman on the stage is also answering Xiao Yuzhi's question.
"The head coach is right, it is indeed an illusion, but it is not just an illusion, at least I am real!"
Xiao Yuzhi nodded and spoke again, his tone unconsciously changed.
"Just now I fought with Cao Nianwen, but found that he was transformed by a monster. Master Jin Lan has a beautiful appearance and dazzling magic, so naturally she can't be a monster."
Jin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Xiao Yuzhi continue.
"But I am ordered by your majesty, and I am more loyal to the country. My duty is not to allow monsters to approach your majesty. Xiao hopes to have a discussion with the master to see his footing. Of course, the master will definitely not be a monster. I will stop here and go through the motions!"
This is the mission that Xiao Yuzhi just received from the emperor, and he said it with a clear conscience.
Because he was frightened by the monkey monster, and Xiao Yuzhi and the old eunuch were "safety" beside him, the emperor had passed on Xiao Yuzhi's oral instructions.
Every magician can verify it!
As he spoke, Xiao Yuzhi had already walked towards the stage step by step, his eyes were very peaceful, and he even looked at the woman on the stage with some appreciation.
But this kind of eyes made Jin Lan's scalp tingle, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but retreat again and again.
"Your Majesty. I am not good at fighting, and I am definitely not the opponent of the old coach. Your Majesty, I admit defeat-"
The emperor suddenly reacted.
"Coach Xiao-"
Xiao Yuzhi frowned slightly, paused on the steps, and then slowly turned to face the emperor and saluted.
"I am here!"
The emperor's face eased, as if he had just been frightened.
"Why are you so impatient, coach? This mage is not good at fighting, so don't go up and fight. Come on, Master Jinlan, come down and rest."
The emperor looked at the old eunuch on the side, who had already ordered people to prepare tables and chairs, and eunuchs brought fruit plates and other things.
Jinlan smiled, carefully glanced at the old coach not far away, and then slowly walked down the steps.
When the woman passed by, Xiao Yuzhi's innate true energy was about to boil, and a murderous intent was brewing in his chest, almost ready to attack.
But in the end, the woman still passed by Xiao Yuzhi safely.
There are so many mages here. If they resist the emperor's order for this woman, then there are still many known demons among the remaining people, which will be difficult to deal with!
Xiao Yuzhi, you are alone, calm down!
Xiao Yuzhi forced himself to stabilize the true energy in his body, and then let out a long breath. This breath was like a sharp sword, turning into a white gas that extended for three feet. Seeing some mages and Jin Lan who had just gone down, they were frightened.
