Chapter One Hundred: The Golden Book Emerges from the River; Who Can Recognize the Ancient Characters?
Liu Hancan, this is absolutely not a brilliant name, but the gift brought by His Highness, is quite eye-catching. As one box after another was opened, colorful treasures kept flashing before Yichu's eyes.
About seven feet tall coral, shining with red light; Seven-colored gemstone carved Ruyi, even more rounded and transparent, beautiful... , from these treasures one by one walked through, Yichu's expression, from shock became calm.
It's fine to say such things for ordinary people, but for a cultivator like Yi Chu, the difference between wealth and dirt isn't that great. Giving him wealth is not as good as sending him some heavenly treasures.
However, for Yi Chu's shocking start, everyone should be more tolerant of this newcomer to the cultivator world who is also self-taught. After all, these things were what he had always dreamed of in the past.
As he walked in front of each box, Yi Chu finally arrived at the last one. On top of this box was a book that shone with golden light. Seeing Yi Chu stop in his tracks in front of the shining book, Crown Prince Liu Han's expression became somewhat flustered.
Giving gifts generally requires a auspicious number, and giving gifts to someone as important as Yi Chu requires even more consideration. This is not the capital city, and Liu Hancan preparing so many gifts in such a short time has already exhausted all his efforts. However, even so, in Liu Hancan's eyes, it still doesn't seem quite right.
Yesterday, his subordinates collected all the bribes received by the crown prince since he left the capital, but they still couldn't make up thirty-six gifts. There were only thirty-five gifts, which wouldn't do! You have to prepare all thirty-six! It's not that there weren't any, but rather that there were too few things that could be compared to these thirty-five gifts.
Money, the crown prince has received a lot, but can't bring some gold and silver to Master Xian, right? After being torn between options, Liu Han carefully compared and repeatedly weighed his choices before deciding to take out this book that corrupt officials said was dug up from underground as a golden scripture to make up the number.
Something mediocre, in the eyes of the Crown Prince, was naturally a bit inferior, but this enigmatic and unpredictable Xian Sheng, stopped in front of this golden book.
The immortal master was indeed an immortal master, and he could see at a glance that this book was used to make up the number. Liu Han, who was standing aside, began to sweat on his head, and his heart was even more anxious and uneasy, thinking quickly in his mind, trying to figure out how to apologize, but saw that the great immortal master Yi Chuyi had already opened the golden book by himself.
The golden book was heavy, held in his hand, Yichu felt it was dozens of times heavier than pure gold! As the golden book was opened, a stream of spiritual energy flowed along Yichu's arm and entered his body.
The spiritual energy was not strong, but rushing into Yi Chu's body made him feel a little warm and fuzzy. However, the words in the golden book made Yi Chu scratch his head in confusion. Because of these words, he didn't recognize a single one.
"What are these characters?" Yi Chu asked in a low voice, beckoning Liu Hanci's son over with a wave of his hand.
"Master Xianshi, I don't know what kind of book this is either. I just heard the county magistrate say that this book was dug up from underground by the local people when they were digging a river, and it's a treasure. I didn't dare to keep it for myself, so I brought it to offer to you, Master Xianshi." Liu Hancan's prince-like move was not in vain, as he skillfully used his Taichi skills to shift the hat onto the county magistrate's head.
"Hmm, when the county magistrate dug up the river, besides this golden book, did he dig up anything else?" Yi Chu asked casually while flipping through the golden book in his hand.
"I reported back to Master Xianshi, I also asked that county magistrate about this matter, but according to him, it's gone."
"Mm." He nodded slightly, and Yi Chu stopped talking, slowly fiddling with the golden book. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, the words on the golden book that resembled tadpoles, he still didn't recognize a single one of them.
Crown Prince Liu Hancan looked at Yi Chu, who was browsing through the golden book, and didn't dare to disturb him. He could only stand there quietly and wait. After a long time, when Yi Chu finally finished flipping through a book of over ten pages, he asked respectfully: "Immortal Master, do you like these gifts?"
"Alright, that's enough. I'm tired, Your Highness, you can go ahead and attend to your business." Yi Chu responded vaguely, losing interest in wasting words on the prince, and with a wave of her hand, she dismissed him.
……
"Longshou, the letter I gave you, have you sent it out?" Lay on the bed, Long Zhanyun weakly asked the servant boy.
"Young master, I've already sent your letter via flying eagle express. It won't be long before the old master receives it." Facing the increasingly irritable Long Zhanjun, Long Shou was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe!
"Fine, just send it out, surname Yi, you wait and see, I'm not done with you! I'll hang you on the tree and make you wail for a month!" Long Zhanjun gritted his teeth and was about to get up, but a sharp pain like a needle pierced his heart, making him clench his teeth and fall back down heavily.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Long Zhanyun collapsed onto the bed, hysterically screaming at the top of his lungs.
Just as Long Zhanjun let out a loud roar, in the Liangyun Mountain ten miles outside of Daluo City, an old man dressed in luxurious attire stood respectfully in front of a Taoist temple, quietly waiting. In his hand, he held a letter.
"Creak", the tightly closed door suddenly opened. A voice slowly came over: "Zheng Yun, you've come to my place at this time, isn't something wrong at home?"
The old man, who was called Zheng Yun, fell to the ground with a thud and said respectfully: "Second Uncle, if it were a trivial matter, I would not dare disturb you at this time. But this is no ordinary matter, and I have no choice but to come and trouble you."
"What's going on? Did that Emperor of Da Luo issue some kind of difficult decree?" The old voice didn't have even a hint of respect when mentioning the Emperor of Da Luo.
"Reporting back to Second Uncle, it's not Tian Shun Emperor. It's Zhan Jun, he has offended someone." The old man in fine clothes showed a hint of worry on his face when mentioning Zhan Jun.
"Offend someone? Offend who? In this vast country, is there anyone that my Dragon family cannot afford to offend?" The old man's tone was not loud, but a hint of arrogance and superiority was evident.
"Uncle, this time the soldier offended is not an ordinary person, but a fairy master. The fairy master was so angry with the soldier that he not only broke his leg but also hung him from a tree and made him wail for an entire night."
"How dare you! You actually dare to provoke the dignity of the Dragon Family! Tell me slowly, what makes this person so arrogant and dare to bully someone from the Dragon Family?"
Fierce words came out of the Taoist temple, and with these words, the entire temple trembled.
