Chapter 19: Hidden trump card

At night, candles were lit in the cabin, and Tang Yao, the red mandarin heroine, routinely told her legendary stories of the world, but tonight was different. Tang Yao also took out her precious box.

There are seven or eight books in the box, four or five scrolls trapped by ropes, pens and inkstones, and most importantly, a few exquisite puppets.

What was taken out was the appearance of a fairy in the clouds. Her face was shining like jade, and her eyebrows were lifelike. She was not wearing the clothes common in the Zhou Dynasty, but a set of gorgeous and exquisite neon feathers. There was a teardrop mole on the corner of her eye.

Invoking pity.

The students of Xishan Academy had never seen such a doll before and were amazed.

"This is too delicate." Someone wanted to step forward and touch it, but when they saw Tang Yao pouting, the treasure was protecting her, so they had no choice but to give up.

"It's so beautiful." Everyone praised.

"Is this a puppet show? Master Hongyuan can do this?" Some people also noticed that the puppets were wearing silk threads and recognized them immediately.

Tang Yao, the Red Mandarin Heroine, talks about this with a bit of pride, different from bragging before, with a bit of seriousness.

"Of course, you can travel around the world and hide in the city."

"Heroes don't just do chivalry all the time. We all have serious jobs. For example, King Qi is a pig butcher in reality, Poison Man is a doctor, and there are countless such things.

"Being a hero is just my hobby. In fact, I am a puppeteer. I first wrote the script for my puppet show."

"I was originally going to perform at this year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Jiangting County, but I have a chance to do it with you, so I decided to perform a part for everyone to see."

Everyone applauded, and Tang Yao smiled even happier than when others called her Red Mandarin Hero.

Tang Yao placed the puppet on the bookcase, moved her fingers, and the silk thread pulled the puppet to dance on its own.

The dancing posture is dreamy and floating, the feet are undulating in the void, the colorful clothes are brushing against Tang Yao's cheeks, and the firelight is dancing behind her, it is really like a goddess descending to earth.

A man and a woman acted out the story in the storybook, attracting everyone's attention. There was silence in the lights, only the shadow of the puppet show.

At the end of the story, the woman sang a poem with a graceful voice.

"Red beans are born in the southern country... I hope you will pick more of them. This is the most loved thing."

A gorgeous dance of goddesses came to an end, and the dolls stopped and gathered on the book box.

Everyone was so fascinated by it that even in their sleep, the shadow of the puppet puppet was still echoing.

The moon shines brightly on the river. Except for the waves caused by the passing ships, the river is peaceful and quiet.

But a silver figure appeared on the river, heading towards the passenger ship on the river.

The first thing he discovered was the donkey. The donkey tied at the stern of the boat snorted twice. Gao Xian immediately opened his eyes.

"River demon?" Gao Xian felt that it should be a huge creature.

Gao Xian didn't say anything, rolled up the quilt, and fell asleep.

Anyway, there are already experts like Red Mandarin Heroine who have promised to deal with this river demon. Immortal Kongchen is tired and will temporarily close his business today instead of slaying demons.

Not long after, something unexpected happened.

"Dong buzz~"

The whole ship was suddenly hit by a huge object, and the whole ship tilted to the right.

The sleeping people instantly rolled into a ball, and everyone rolled to the left like a wheel.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness woke everyone up from their sleep, and then there was a crackling collision and a wailing sound.

"Are there waves on the river?"

"Isn't it right? Why do I feel like I was hit?"

Everyone was sleeping with their clothes on, and they were rushing from the cabin to the deck.

I saw that the shipowner and the sailors had already rushed out, and they were all looking at the river in a daze, as if they were frightened by something.

Before everyone under the moonlight could realize what was going on, there was a roar again, and the smooth snake's tail caressed the side of the ship, and suddenly a group of people fell on their backs.

This is a giant snake, its body is as thick as a big tree.

"What the hell is this?" Those who saw this scene suddenly shuddered.

"Back off, there's a monster outside." Someone screamed.

Everyone was so frightened that they all shrank back and hid in the corner.

"snake?"

"How could there be such a big snake?

"This is a dragon, it's Grandpa River God, it's Master River God!" The boat owner knelt down immediately, but the River God Master didn't give any face to him, and threw his tail on the boat with another boom, causing huge waves to hit the boat.

The boat tilted again and almost fell into the river.

At this time, Gao Xian yawned, put on his Taoist robe and walked out. A student who had recently spoken to Gao Xian was panicked and said immediately.

"Taoist, Taoist, river demon, river demon really came out."

"Don't panic!" Gao Xian shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

"Don't we still have the Red Mandarin Heroine?" Gao Xian looked at the crowd.

At this time, the red mandarin heroine standing in the crowd holding a sword was suddenly revealed, and everyone around her stared at her.

Gao Xian stretched out his hand and pulled out the Red Mandarin Hero, who had a small head and a small chest, but a heart as high as the sky and a loud voice.

"Ah? Me?"

The red mandarin heroine looked confused.

But everyone surrounded her as if grasping a life-saving straw.

The Taoist said earnestly: "Red Mandarin Heroine, it's already this time, why don't you quickly reveal your well-hidden trump card to slay demons?"

Gao Xian suddenly remembered the quotation from the Red Mandarin Heroine a few days ago, that the most important thing when traveling in the world is to hide it, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"That's right, Master Hongyuan, quickly use your magical power to recover this river monster!" shouted a tall sailor man.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" The leading student was full of expectations.

Everyone agreed.

But the Red Mandarin Heroine has a hard time talking.

"My dear, with my three-legged cat kung fu, you are trying to get me to die!" The Red Mandarin Heroine was at a loss and lost all her previous magnanimity.

You are the one who fears the most.

The cowhide that I have blown over now has to be carried around no matter how hard it is.

The Red Mandarin Heroine was forced to rush to the front by everyone, walked out of the cabin, and walked forward against the wind and waves under the expectant eyes of everyone.

The people behind her were hiding in the cabin one by one, cheering for the heroine from afar.

"The Red Mandarin Hero seems to be shaking a little?" Someone looked at the Red Mandarin Hero in the cold wind and felt something was wrong.

"What do you know? This is called showing weakness to the enemy, so that the opponent will underestimate the enemy and expose his flaws." The die-hard female student immediately learned and applied the Jianghu routines she had heard in the past few days.

"Yes, that demon is no match for the Red Mandarin Heroine."

"The Red Mandarin Heroine has learned a sword spirit that is unparalleled in the world."

The military morale stabilized again.
