Chapter 508 Death

When the curtain was completely lifted, the guests let out bursts of exclamations.

Imprisoned in the cage is a half-human, half-ape monster.

Its skull as a whole is in the shape of an inverted triangle, its forehead is flat and wide, its brow bones are protruding, and its eye sockets are sunken.

The collapsed and flat bridge of the nose is connected to the large and broad nose that turns outwards.

The cheekbones are prominent and covered with a layer of light brown down, which transitions to the entire face and body.

The chin is arched forward unusually, the lips are thin, and when the mouth is grinned, one can see the pale and messy teeth.

This half-man, half-ape is slightly shorter than a normal person. He wears no clothes and only has a layer of dense brown down covering his body.

He is sitting cross-legged, with his back bent, and his two relatively slender arms resting on his legs and knees.

His wrists and ankles were each shackled with a pair of heavy and strong metal shackles.

It ignored the cries of shock and fear, ignored the curious and inquiring eyes,

Sitting silently in the cage, staring at the palm of his hand, and occasionally twitching his slender fingers, looking indifferent to everything in the outside world.

There is no doubt that it, or he, has intelligence that is not inferior to humans.

"Is this auspiciousness?"

The King of Shu sat on his seat, stretched his neck and looked at the half-man, half-ape in the cage, and murmured to himself: "It's a little different from what I imagined."

The auspicious signs that the King of Shu had seen were either pigs covered with gold foil and disguised as unicorns.

Or they are animals such as Sixiang and giraffes that were paid tribute by overseas natives.

I have never seen an ape-man.

The King of Shu turned to look at the thin old monk Annan and asked: "Father monk, this auspicious sign can speak human language, right?"

An imperceptible look of sorrow flashed across Monk Annan's face. He clasped his palms together and said in a deep voice in the Chinese language with a clear accent: "Reporting to the prince, Xiangrui can indeed understand and speak human language."

"Then why are you standing still?"

The King of Shu asked: "Is it possible that we need to prepare some animals for sacrifice in order to win the favor of Xiang Rui?"

Old monk Annan shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Xiangrui is transcendent from the mortal world and does not care about common etiquette. Whether he speaks or not is entirely up to him."

Decide for yourself?

The King of Shu frowned slightly. He still had a bad temper in his feelings and couldn't answer any questions.

One of the purposes of holding the banquet was to experience the so-called auspicious skills. In this case, it seemed that he had to find some good questions to ask first.

"Well..."

The King of Shu thought for a while and asked the ape-man: "Where are you from?"

The ape-man raised his head and glanced at him, "Heaven."

"Heaven? Are you an immortal?"

"no."

"demon?"

"no."

"Gods and Buddhas?"

"no."

"Then what are you."

"Monk."

"Monk?"

The King of Shu looked the ape man up and down. He saw that Xiang Rui was short in stature, with messy hair on his body, and ugly and ferocious facial features. Even the ugly man with a fleshy face was better looking than him.

The King of Shu shook his head: "As a monk, how could he be trapped in a prison?"

"..."

The ape-man was silent for a long time, and then said in a daze: "I forgot."

Can you forget this?

King Shu rolled his eyes and was about to ask again when he heard the ape sitting in the cage whisper: "It's time to rain..."

The ape raised his hands and covered his ears, waiting for something.

Everyone looked out of the hall subconsciously and saw a sparse moon and stars. There were no clouds floating in the night sky. It didn't look like it was going to rain.

"Where did the rain come from..."

Before the King of Shu could finish his words, he heard an unknown strong wind howling.

The silk curtains on all sides of the hall were violently lifted up and flew freely.

A flash of lightning flashed very far away,

Two or three seconds later, there was a deafening "Boom!"

Fine raindrops fell to the ground, and then immediately turned into moderate rain, heavy rain, and even heavy rain.

By the time everyone reacted, strong winds were blowing outside the hall, thunder was coming one after another, and heavy rain seemed to overthrow the world.

It's really raining!

Everyone looked shocked, except Monk Annan, who lowered his head and recited scriptures silently, completely isolated from the outside world.

"It's really... somewhat accurate."

Bai Yongyan murmured to himself, stretched out his palm and patted the ground.

Levels of wooden steps suddenly grew in the floors on all sides of the hall, blocking out the rain.

The ape-man silently raised his head and glanced around the crowd.

Every time he stares at someone, his lips will move for a while and he will mutter something.

The King of Shu couldn't hear it clearly and asked hurriedly: "What is he talking about?"

"time..."

Song Shuqing's expression changed slightly, and he repeated in a low voice: "Half an hour, fifty years, thirty-one years, eleven years...

Every time he looked at someone, he announced a time. "

Known as the "Integrity Duke", the military counselor of the Prince of Shu's Mansion had a strange look on his face, "What... does this mean?"

"Is it possible that he is calculating the marriage time of everyone present?"

Bai Yongyan took a breath of cold air, "To be honest, in addition to being good at feng shui, Bai is also good at reading faces.

The time when this auspicious report was given happened to be exactly the same as the marriage destiny derived by Bai from observing the faces of various people.

Fate is destiny, happiness is yours. Do you want to know when you and your partner will get married? When editing letters, add the male name to the female name, such as Guo Jing plus Huang Rong,

Send the letter to Bai Yongyan, the guest minister of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, for collection.

The letter contains copper coins or silver notes,

You can know the marriage index between you and her and the auspicious day of marriage. "

? ? ?

Everyone present, including the King of Shu, were all confused. Why are you advertising as a matchmaker?

The ape-man seemed not to have heard Bai Yongyan's flirtatious words. He was still scanning the guests and telling the time, "Seven years, eighteen years, six months..."

"It's not marriage."

Song Shuqing heard the ape-man comment on his "fifty-five years", and his gloomy expression softened a lot.

Youyou said: "What he avenged should be our death date..."

Death date?

When the guests present came back to their senses, their expressions changed suddenly after a short check-in time.

Those who took a long time to check in also had strange expressions and were unable to speak.

The ape-man told the time by himself, and occasionally skipped over a few people, such as Bai Yongyan, King Shu, Monk Annan, Yu Qingqiu, etc.

When the ape-man turned around, he lowered his head again and fell into silence again.

"This this..."

The King of Shu opened his mouth and looked at Monk Annan, "Master, is the auspicious announcement just now really the date of death?"

"The poor monk doesn't know."

The skinny old monk slowly shook his head, "Xiangrui is otherworldly and far beyond our ability to guess. It may be the case, or it may not be."

"Nonsense!"

The face of the dancing spider old man was extremely ugly, and he said bitterly: "All living beings in the three realms reincarnate in the six realms, like spinning wheels of fire.

I am afraid that only the book of life and death can accurately predict the number of life and death.

How dare a mere brown-haired ape talk nonsense? "

No wonder the old man Dancing Spider was so excited. The evaluation the Man-Ape gave him just now only lasted half an hour.

"If you want to know whether the auspicious sign indicates the date of death, just give it a try and you will know."

Bai Yongyan laughed softly beside him: "If Brother Wei dies suddenly and mysteriously half an hour later, that's it.

If it's not a sudden death, then it's not, or it's not accurate. "

"Bai Yongyan!"

The old dancing spider turned around, his beard and hair spread out, and said in a dark and angry voice: "You'd better shut your mouth."

Bai Yongyan smiled and said: "Brother Wei, don't be angry, I haven't finished speaking yet.

If you are worried that what Xiangrui is talking about is the date of death, you may die suddenly in half an hour.

It would be better to take action before the time limit ends and end your own life in advance.

How about breaking the auspicious death prophecy? "
