Chapter 161 Detention
Bo Yikao took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve and gently placed it to his lips.
As a melodious flute sounded, the entire hall seemed to be immersed in this wonderful music.
The sound of the flute is as clear as spring water and as warm as the spring breeze. It echoes in the hall, penetrating every corner, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The white-faced monkey heard the sound of the bamboo flute and began to dance.
Its dancing posture is light and graceful, like a breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.
Emperor Xin was deeply attracted by the dancing posture of the white-faced monkey, and his eyes showed appreciation and admiration.
Shang Rong, who was standing by, was also shocked by the dancing posture of the white-faced monkey and praised it repeatedly.
Just as the people in the hall were immersed in the graceful and light dance of the white-faced ape, the white-faced ape's eyes suddenly flashed red, as if they were ignited by fire, revealing a heart-pounding ferocity.
It turned suddenly and pounced towards Emperor Xin who was lying on the couch.
This change came too suddenly and everyone was shocked by this sudden scene.
Faced with this sudden attack, a hint of astonishment flashed in Emperor Xin's eyes.
He had no time to react and could only watch the white-faced ape attack him.
Just when the white-faced ape was about to touch Emperor Xin, a dazzling light shot out.
It was a spell that condensed powerful magic power. It was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the sky and striking the white-faced monkey directly.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, the white-faced ape was hit by the magic. Its body rolled several times in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
The dust in the hall was blown everywhere, and Emperor Xin and others covered their mouths and noses to avoid being choked by the dust.
When the dust settled, everyone saw the white-faced ape lying on the ground motionless, seemingly having lost consciousness.
In a moment, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky like a meteor and instantly descended on the main hall of the Shouhuang Palace.
After the white light dissipated, a young man with immortal aura around him was revealed. He was none other than the renowned national teacher - Luo Shu.
After Luo Shu exchanged his cultivation experiences with the Four Saints of Jiulong Island and Shen Gongbao on Jiulong Island, he bid farewell to them.
Thinking that Bo Yikao had already gone to Chaoge, out of curiosity, Luo Shu decided to go there in person to find out.
Starting from Jiulong Island, Luo Shu traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the prosperous Chaoge City.
In Chaoge City, he quickly learned that Bo Yikao had entered the palace, so he flew towards the palace without hesitation.
Luo Shu sensed Emperor Xin's breath in the palace, leaped into the air, and prepared to go to where Emperor Xin lived.
However, just as he arrived at where Emperor Xin was, he unexpectedly witnessed a white-faced monkey suddenly attacking.
Luo Shu was shocked when he saw the white-faced ape's eyes flashing with murderous intent as it pounced towards Emperor Xin.
He knew that although this ape looked cute, its strength should not be underestimated.
If it were allowed to hurt Emperor Xin, the consequences would be disastrous.
Although Luo Shu knew that the white-faced ape could not harm Emperor Xin, he still stopped it just in case.
So, Luo Shu waved his hands without hesitation, and a spell containing powerful magic power instantly came out from his hand and hit the white-faced monkey directly.
"Master Imperial Master!" Emperor Xin recognized Luo Shu and shouted in surprise.
He didn't expect that at the critical moment, it was the national teacher Luo Shu who came to the rescue.
When Luo Shu heard Emperor Xin's call, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Xin.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am Luo Shu, honored."
Emperor Xin walked down the steps, came to Luo Shu, held his hand tightly, and said excitedly:
"Master, how come you suddenly appear here? I thought you have returned to your place of practice to practice in seclusion."
Luo Shu smiled and shook his head, a gentle light flashed in his eyes, and replied:
"Your Majesty, I came to Chaoge this time because I do have some things to deal with."
"Thinking that I had not seen the king for a long time, I went into the palace privately to meet the king."
“I didn’t expect to encounter such a thrilling scene at this critical moment.”
When Emperor Xin heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart. He said with emotion:
"Master, every time you appear, it's like timely rain. Having you here makes me feel much more at ease."
Luo Shu smiled and responded:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am only doing my duty and doing my bit for Your Majesty."
Then, Luo Shu and Emperor Xin looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, Bo Yikao, who was standing by, had just come back to his senses from the thrilling scene.
He caught a glimpse of Emperor Xin and Luo Shu talking, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Bo Yikao hurried forward, walked to the front of Emperor Xin, knelt on the ground, bowed deeply, and explained respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I really don't know why this white-faced ape suddenly became manic. I have disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
Bo Yikao's voice was full of self-blame and fear.
Hearing Bo Yikao's voice, Luo Shu turned his gaze from Emperor Xin to Bo Yikao beside him.
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if they could penetrate people's souls.
Bo Yikao knelt on one side. Seeing the national teacher Luo Shu looking at him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but he still maintained a respectful attitude.
Luo Shu looked at Bo Yikao carefully and saw that he was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and an elegant temperament in his every move.
Luo Shu thought to himself, "Apart from his outstanding appearance, there seems to be nothing special about Bo Yikao."
However, books of later generations recorded that when the gods were conferred, he was named Zhongtian Ziwei Beiji Great Emperor, ranked as one of the Six Imperial Emperors, and enjoyed endless glory and honor.
Luo Shu couldn't help but feel curious about what was so extraordinary about Bo Yikao that he could stand out in the Battle of the Gods and obtain such a high position as a god.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bo Yikao carefully again.
However, no matter how he observed, he could not see anything special about Bo Yikao.
Just as Luo Shu was lost in thought, Emperor Xin's face darkened and he broke the silence, shouting:
"Bo Yikao, what exactly are you up to? You actually dared to control the white-faced ape to murder me. You are so audacious and reckless. You don't know how to live or die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze instantly.
Bo Yikao's face suddenly changed. His knees softened and he fell to the ground, eagerly explaining:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am loyal to you and would never dare to have the slightest intention of harming you."
"This white-faced ape suddenly went berserk, and I was caught off guard. I don't know who is controlling it. Please investigate, Your Majesty!"
However, Emperor Xin would not listen to any arguments at this moment. He waved his hand and ordered:
"Come here, drag Bo Yikao away and interrogate him strictly. Make sure to find out the real culprit behind this! If anyone conceals anything, he will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!"
As Emperor Xin's order came down, several guards quickly surrounded him as if they were facing a great enemy, ready to escort Bo Yikao away.
At this critical moment, Luo Shu on the side finally came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He nodded slightly, frowned, turned to Emperor Xin, and said in a firm but polite tone:
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty! Bo Yikao is just a mortal. How could he control the white-faced ape to murder Your Majesty? Perhaps there is a deeper reason behind this."
When Emperor Xin heard Luo Shu's words, he was slightly stunned and then fell into deep thought.
He was well aware of Luo Shu's wisdom and vision, so he naturally had to consider his suggestions carefully.
Emperor Xin nodded slowly, signaled the guards to withdraw first, and turned to Luo Shu, with a gleam of inquiry in his eyes:
"National Master, what do you think about this matter?"
When Luo Shu heard Emperor Xin's question, he did not answer immediately.
Instead, he pondered for a moment, turned to look at Bo Yikao beside him, and said slowly:
"Bo Yikao, how did you get this white-faced monkey? Can you tell me in detail about its origin and habits?"
When Bo Yikao heard Luo Shu's question, he was startled. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his panic.
He calmed himself down and began to slowly tell the origin and habits of the white-faced monkey.
As Bo Yikao spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again.
Luo Shu heard Bo Yikao's detailed account of the origin of the white-faced monkey.
It was learned that the monkey was originally a gift from Ji Fa specially presented to Bo Yikao, and the song played by Bo Yikao was also given by Ji Fa.
This series of information quickly intertwined in Luo Shu's mind, causing him to make some subtle guesses.
Luo Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of depth flashed in his eyes, and he spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful:
"Your Majesty, please detain Bo Yikao temporarily and make a final decision later."
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell in the hall, as if even the air had frozen.
Emperor Xin frowned slightly, but then nodded. He knew very well that the imperial teacher would not make a decision casually, and he must have made such a decision after careful consideration.
"Just do as the Imperial Master wishes."
Emperor Xin gave the order in a deep voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone, but also revealing his trust in Luo Shu.
He waved his hand, signaling the guards to take action.
The guards walked towards Bo Yikao quickly and orderly, ready to carry out the order.
When Bo Yikao saw this scene, his face changed suddenly. He knew very well that he could not escape this sudden fate.
However, Bo Yikao did not sit still and wait for death. He immediately knelt in front of Emperor Xin and kowtowed repeatedly, saying:
"Your Majesty, Imperial Master, I know I am wrong, but I am willing to bear all the consequences. However, I ask Your Majesty to be lenient with me, or let me be imprisoned in place of my father."
However, Emperor Xin saw that the national teacher Luo Shu did not give him any hint or instructions.
So he stopped talking, waved his hand, and signaled the guards to come forward and take Bo Yikao away.
The guards took orders and escorted Bo Yikao away.
