Chapter 111 Transformed
The beam of light in Kaifeng Prefecture at night lasted for more than ten breaths, and I don't know how many people were stunned.
Many curious people gathered outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, pointing and talking, or trying to take advantage of the "hotspot". As the number of people increased, they were finally persuaded to leave by Zhan Zhao.
He only said one sentence: Master Lu is inside.
Then these people dispersed.
Oh...it turns out that Master Lu has shown his magical powers again. It's okay then.
About two incense sticks of time later, Lu Sen also left Kaifeng Prefecture.
He walked on the way home, and his expression became happier and happier.
Even a little proud.
Time quickly came to the next day, and it was time to go to court again.
Lu Sen still refused to go, and when Bao Zheng appeared in front of the palace gate, many people were surprised.
Because on Bao Zheng's shoulder, there was a black cat with a white crescent on its forehead.
Song people loved petting cats, including Bao Zheng! This is nothing new, but bringing a cat to the court is not a good idea.
Bao Zheng is an old minister after all, it is impossible that he does not understand such a thing.
But if you think about it from another angle, it is precisely because Bao Zheng has always been calm and cautious and would never do anything rash, so there must be other reasons why he brought the black cat to the palace.
Having said that, they found that the black cat looked very "proud". It lay on Bao Zheng's shoulder, with its head resting on its paws, and seemed to be resting with its eyes closed. However, the tail shaking from time to time behind it and the occasional opening of its eyes all indicated that the cat was just resting.
That's strange.
As we all know, cats are proud and insecure animals. Unless they are really sleepy, it is difficult for them to stay quietly in a strange and crowded place.
This black cat seems a little unusual.
After the palace gate opened and Zhao Zhen sat down in the hall, he looked at the black cat lying on Bao Zheng's shoulder and couldn't help asking, "My dear Bao, do you have any special intention in bringing the black cat to the hall?"
Bao Zheng's face twitched, and he said helplessly: "I was tricked by Master Lu."
When it comes to Lu Sen, all civil and military officials become interested.
Zhao Zhen was the same. He couldn't help but lean forward and asked, "What is related to the strange phenomenon in Kaifeng Mansion last night?"
"Yes." Bao Zheng bowed and said, "I think everyone is very interested. Your Majesty, can I explain it to you?"
"Of course it is." Zhao Zhen also liked to keep cats. When he saw this black cat, he thought it was very spiritual. When he heard that it was related to Lu Sen, he wanted to know the reason even more.
Then Bao Zheng briefly recounted the whole story under the expectation of all the civil and military officials.
Blood oath!
The woodcarving took shape, was born from a contract, and never left its master! No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a myth, something you could only hear about in storybooks.
Or maybe there is no such magical story in the language book.
And such a thing is actually happening around me.
Zhao Zhen became even more interested. He asked hastily, "Lord Bao, does this black cat have any magical powers?"
"Usually, it can guard the house and warn of danger." Bao Zheng hesitated. He was not good at lying, so he told the truth: "And it can transform into a fusion!"
"What is the fusion transformation?" Zhao Zhen stood up and asked eagerly.
It was a word they had never heard of.
This is also what all civil and military officials are eager to know.
"According to Master Lu, this black cat is a spirit animal from the immortal family. It can transform into a special energy field and temporarily merge with its owner, after which the owner can gain special magical powers. This is called 'transformation and fusion'."
Wow! Zhao Zhen exclaimed.
The civil and military officials were in an uproar and talked about it a lot.
If Bao Zheng said that the black cat was a spiritual animal, they would only believe it 70%.
But when it comes to Lu Sen, the situation is completely different. It is 100% real gold.
Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng below, feeling itchy in his heart. After thinking for a while, he asked in a negotiating tone: "Lord Bao, have you combined with this black cat to transform?"
"Not yet!" Bao Zheng explained, "Master Lu said that since we just signed the contract, both parties don't have a good understanding yet, and the black cat hasn't absorbed enough spiritual energy, so it's best to wait a few hours before combining and transforming. So I went to bed early last night."
In fact, what Bao Zheng said this time was half true and half false.
He did sit on the bed early, and then stroked the black cat for an hour, feeling very happy.
At this time, Master Pang stood up and said with a smile: "Then Prefect Bao can demonstrate the transformation once, so that we colleagues can open our eyes. It can also be a witness, because from what you said, after the transformation, it seems that the appearance will change completely. After we see it once, we can be mentally prepared."
Civil and military officials all agreed.
Zhao Zhen also said on the dragon throne: "I think what Master Pang said makes sense. Lord Bao, please let us see it for ourselves."
Bao Zheng thought for a while, then said, "Then I will show you my humble service."
Upon hearing Bao Zheng's agreement, the civil and military officials immediately dispersed and left a large space in the middle of the hall to Bao Zheng.
Zhao Zhen had already stood up, and even subconsciously took a few steps forward.
At this time, Bao Zheng turned his head and asked the black cat on his left shoulder: "Cat slave, are you ready?"
The black cat that had been lying on Bao Zheng's shoulder stood up and opened its beautiful big blue eyes, which were quite beautiful.
It meowed and jumped under Bao Zheng's official hat.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the black cat.
About a moment later, white light emanated from the black cat, enveloping Bao Zheng completely.
The white light was so strong that it was difficult for people to open their eyes, but even so, everyone at the scene squinted their eyes and looked desperately at the center.
It is indeed a spiritual beast, a divine creature.
Looking at the white light, Zhao Zhen and all the civil and military officials were extremely excited.
The white light was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and you could vaguely see that Bao Zheng in the white light seemed to be floating and spinning in the air, but because the white light was too strong, the details were not very clear.
At the same time, when this ball of white light appeared, there seemed to be faint passionate music playing, but when listening carefully, there seemed to be no music, a very subtle feeling.
The white light came and went quickly, and soon Bao Zheng's figure appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, everyone widened their eyes and gasped.
Because Bao Zheng has changed a lot.
He got fatter and darker!
It was as black as charcoal, but everyone could still recognize it: it was Bao Zheng.
In addition, there is a vertical white crescent on Bao Zheng’s forehead, which looks very mysterious, as if it contains some profound truth.
The most important thing is that Bao Zheng's clothes changed.
There was a layer of black mist around his body, forming a wide 'official uniform'. The mist was flowing but would not dissipate, and it looked full of the aura of a yin spirit.
Many officials who lacked integrity subconsciously felt weak in the knees when they saw Bao Zheng like this.
After the transformation, Bao Zheng opened his eyes. He looked around extremely sharp eyes, even colder than before the transformation.
Some of the petty officials, who were already weak on the knees, were so frightened that they took a few steps back and almost fell down. Fortunately, there were many people around them who grabbed their colleagues' clothes and prevented them from falling to the ground.
After looking around, Bao Zheng turned around and looked at Zhao Zhen in front of him.
Looking into Bao Zheng's cold eyes, Zhao Zhen felt a little distracted. He stepped back awkwardly and sat back on the dragon throne.
Bao Zheng stood up straight, with his hands slightly cupped, and said, "Your Highness, I, Bao Zheng, pay my respects to you! In the name of Wangshu, I will wipe out all the evil in the world!"
His voice was not loud, but very powerful. It penetrated the entire hall, and even the guards outside the palace heard it.
All the civil and military officials felt their scalps tingling.
The Prince of Runan couldn't help but say, "Xiren's temperament has changed. He may have been influenced by the spirit beast."
Master Pang laughed and said, "This is not good. Pursuing the right path is what Bao Fuyin wanted. Now the spirit beast has strengthened his belief. This is a good thing."
"The hardest things are the easiest to break!" Prince Runan shook his head.
Although he said so, the eyes of the Prince of Runan were full of envy.
Master Pang added, "The strongest can be easily broken, that refers to people! The current Bao Fuyin may not be considered an ordinary person."
The Prince of Runan raised his eyebrows but said nothing, seeming to agree.
At this time, Zhao Zhen felt uncomfortable being looked at by the charcoal version of Bao Zheng. He said timidly: "My dear Bao, your look is too scary. Can you change it back?"
"It will take at least an incense stick of time to cancel the transformation." Although his temperament has changed a bit, Bao Zheng is still the dominant consciousness. Moreover, Bao Zheng's mind is very strong. This first transformation has some impact on him, but after a short while, he has gotten used to it. He restrained his sharp eyes, softened his voice, and said, "Don't be afraid, sir. Bao Zheng is still Bao Zheng."
I am afraid of any Bao Zheng!
Zhao Zhen muttered to himself, but as he looked at the black Bao Zheng, his curiosity overwhelmed his fear and he asked, "My dear, do you have any magical powers in this state?"
"A lot, too many to describe at once." Bao Zheng looked around and said, "The emperor's breakfast is soybean milk and lotus seed soup?"
"How do you know, my dear?" Zhao Zhen asked back.
"I heard it." Bao Zheng looked around and said, "The Prince of Runan ate the jade honey sent by Master Lu, Master Pang ate noodles and drank some wine, and Minister Ouyang ate glutinous rice."
Zhao Zhen looked at the three people who were named.
The three of them nodded at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise.
Bao Zheng continued, "In addition, my eyesight has also been greatly enhanced. There is a small black ant crawling on the top of the dragon throne behind the official."
Zhao Zhen turned around, took a few glances, and actually found a small ant.
Then Bao Zheng closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. Then he opened his eyes and swung the wide, misty long sleeves of his right hand forward. A ball of black mist spurted out from the cuffs and turned into a fast-running black cat. After running forward for several feet, it suddenly exploded and turned into a huge swirling air blade, making a hissing sound.
It disappeared after a moment, leaving only a large piece of broken earth wall cut out of the floor of the hall!
The broken edge was like a sharp sword.
Everyone took a deep breath at the same time. This was truly a divine method.
Zhao Zhen was also stunned, then he looked into the dark corner and asked, "Wang Jinwei, go and make an evaluation."
At that moment, a warrior in armor came out from the darkness, looked at the damaged area for a while, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the attack by Prefect Bao is equivalent to the full force attack of a fighter with thirty internal strengths, and only a top-notch warrior who has practiced the best internal skills can do this."
All the civil and military officials were numb at this time.
They looked at Bao Zheng and quickly surrounded him.
The Prince of Runan and others who were familiar with Bao Zheng tried to touch the black mist wrapped around Bao Zheng's body. Their fingers could pass through and touch Bao Zheng's real clothes.
This layer is cool and misty, and feels very comfortable to touch.
Zhao Zhen looked at it with envy and came over to touch it.
Just as everyone was trying to do something to Bao Zheng, suddenly a white light flashed on Bao Zheng's body, and his transformed state was cancelled. He changed from a fat black man back to his original appearance.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously took two steps back, then surrounded them again.
At this time, Bao Zheng's face was pale, and the black cat was lying on his left shoulder, looking listless.
Zhao Zhen asked anxiously, "Lord Bao, what happened to you?"
"It's okay, it's just that the contract with the raccoon slave was too short, and his spirit, energy and soul have not been fully integrated. Master Lu has already talked about this, so it's okay."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone looked at the black cat on Bao Zheng's shoulder with great envy.
Who wouldn’t want a spiritual beast like this that can make people more powerful?
This morning court session ended quickly.
Then the whole city knew that Bao Zheng could transform.
Especially the sentence "In the name of Wangshu, all the filth and evil in the world will be eradicated" has become Bao Zheng's personal representative sentence.
The appearance of the black cat, the crescent on its forehead, and the crescent on Bao Zheng's forehead after his transformation have been interpreted from various angles in the market.
But no matter what, the fact that Bao Zheng is associated with "Wangshu" cannot be cleared.
While people in the market were discussing the matter, the Prince of Runan came to Aishan, who was very angry at the time.
"My dear son-in-law, aren't we a family?" Prince Runan questioned Lu Sen.
Lu Sen nodded: "Taishan treats me like his own son, so we are naturally a family, who dares to say otherwise!"
"Then why was such a magic weapon given to Bao Heitan first, instead of to me?" The Prince of Runan snorted in dissatisfaction: "I asked Bilian just now, and she didn't have it either."
Lu Sen explained: "Don't worry, Taishan. Bao Xiren's black cat is not the best spiritual beast. When I find a better one, I will definitely give one to you, Taishan."
Hearing this, the Prince of Runan was satisfied: "In fact, I don't have to, as long as my son-in-law has this intention, otherwise I really think that my son-in-law has a better relationship with Bao Zheng than with me as his father-in-law."
"That's impossible." Lu Sen thought for a moment and said, "Taishan, you have many connections. Please help me collect more thumb-sized gems. Collect them quietly to prevent the market price from rising too quickly."
Gems are the core material for making "Happy Blind Boxes".
"No problem." The Prince of Runan waved his hand and said, "Leave this matter to me. Wait for half a month and I will give you good news."
Then the two chatted for a while, and the Prince of Runan left happily.
Then a soldier came over, bent over, clasped his fists and said, "Master Lu, we have found out what you asked us to investigate last night."
"how?"
"Luo Kailai has indeed gone astray. He had the crystal ball stolen. Now those Seljuq women are crying and screaming."
Lu Sen snorted, "I knew it! Heizhu, come with me to the market, we have to take care of this matter."
