Chapter 5 Dance for the Gods!
After old Blue regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious and majestic giant's palace, sitting at a mottled and ancient bronze table.
At the top of the long table, there was a figure shrouded in thick gray fog, looking down at him condescendingly.
"His emotions include red, yellow, and blue: surprise, happiness, excitement, panic, and thinking?"
Klein tapped his left teeth twice and quietly activated his spiritual vision, observing the color of the old man's spirit body to judge his emotions and further determine whether the person in front of him was lying.
At the same time, he also discovered that the surface of the astral body deep within the old man's "etheric body" was mottled and not uniform in color.
This shows that the other party is not yet an extraordinary person.
Not a Beyonder? Klein was a little surprised.
Huh, huh! Old Blue panted heavily, holding the bronze table with his left hand to support his body, and raised his right hand to touch his chest to cover up his loss of composure. He complained madly in his heart:
"How can you come to Guimi without joining the Tarot Club? But this is too fast! Give me some time to make up a story!"
"How can I get along with you?"
"I leaned back in the high-back chair too. Klein, it's you. Okay, don't even think about coming here again. You might even get reported by reality for the one-stop service of the Gachavas meter..."
"Just show your cards. I'm also a time traveler? No, that can't be used. I shouldn't know that he is a time traveler..."
"Lying is definitely useless. Klein must have opened his psychic vision. He will use divination to confirm it afterwards... and the lie will be exposed sooner or later. The moment it is exposed... I can't imagine it."
"And now I am actually in the image of Old Blue... This is a spiritual body, have I completely turned into Old Blue..."
Old Blue stopped gasping for breath, his hands trembling slightly, and stood up straight. Some illusory sea water fell off his body and flowed onto the ground.
He looked at the figure sitting at the top, and asked in the Loen language from the memory fragment: "You, are you the master of the "Underworld" and the god of the "Underworld"? "
Then, he bowed his head in reverence, perfectly practicing the saying "Do not look directly at God."
"You are not dead." Klein laughed, leaned back, crossed his hands, and replied in Loenese in a leisurely and relaxed manner: "You prayed to me, so you should know who I am."
He wanted to verify whether the old man in front of him knew "Chinese" and whether he was another "traveler" besides Emperor Roselle and himself.
Old Blue knew it in his heart. Mr. Fool should not have heard anything other than what was said by “Tianzun” and “Fushengxuanhuang Tianzun”…
It was really scary. I was complaining in Chinese in my mind, "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", but the current owner of "Source Castle", Mr. "Fool", heard it... and he pulled me over...
——The above were all complaints in Loenese.
"Tianzun? Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?"
Old Blue deliberately used a stiff tone, trying his best to imitate the pronunciation of the two words, sounding like a "foreigner", and suddenly looked up at the figure shrouded in gray fog.
His face was full of enthusiasm and he jumped onto the long bronze table with agility. Then his body began to twitch, as if he was scalded by boiling water or as if he was dancing a strange dance.
After a few brief movements, the gray-haired, deeply wrinkled old man said solemnly, "Dance for the gods!"
After that, he performed a short dance of his own choreography... Klein the Fool saw the old man's astral body turn red, and he was excited and happy...
Mr. Fool’s mouth twitched, his expression twisted, even the gray mist couldn’t completely cover it up…
He couldn't help but start to daydream. Tomorrow, Monday, during the "Tarot Club", Miss "Justice", Mr. "Hanged Man", and Little "Sun" will also learn to jump onto the long table and dance gracefully...
Well, maybe Miss Justice will be interesting to watch, but the other two... don't let your imagination run wild! Klein the Fool entered a semi-meditative state, barely keeping his expression tight...
Old Blue seemed to sense that the "god" was not satisfied, and immediately jumped off the table, knelt on the ground, and touched his forehead to the floor. He said in a panic, "Your Excellency, "Tianzun", I am old and weak, and my dance is deformed. I cannot please the great existence, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Klein couldn't hold it anymore. This kowtow ceremony didn't exist in Loen! In this era, there are hand kissing, cheek kissing, kneeling on one knee, hat removal, etc. The forehead touching the ground is too much like the Great Foodie Empire in the previous life! It's confirmed!
"How did you know my honorific name? Who taught you how to pronounce this word? Oh, you are from Loen, right?" Klein the Fool felt that he could not let the old man play freely. Maybe he would perform a yangko dance from his previous life...
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart. The thought of going home had never gone away, but it was just hidden deeper in his heart...
Mr. Fool tapped the edge of the table with his right index finger, and an invisible force pulled Old Blue back to his previous seat, then dispersed.
Old Blue sat upright and answered:
"My name is Blue, I'm 73 years old, I don't have a last name, or rather, my last name is deliberately hidden... I am indeed a Loenese now, living in Tingen."
"I learned your name from a book I read when I was about 25 years old..."
"I thought it was just a novel, but I didn't expect that I would actually get a response after reciting your name..."
"The dance that can please the gods is recorded in the same collection of books. This is also the first time I have tried it..."
Blue represents thinking... Klein listened carefully, not wanting to miss any details.
Tingen? He was so close, and the old man looked familiar. Have I seen him before? No, I have seen him before in my previous life...
Books? Novels? What kind of novels would record the name of "Tianzun"? The "Records of Qin and Han Magic" that I came across before I traveled through time? Are there other travelers who came to this world because they tried the "Lucky Change Ritual"? What I saw when I was 73 years old? Blue is already years old... Klein had a bad feeling in his heart.
Old Blue did not pause. After answering the Fool's question, he continued:
"My real last name is 'Zhang'." Old Blue imitated the foreign Chinese pronunciation he had seen on the Internet, and uttered the awkward pronunciation of "Zhang"...
Very good, this old man is either a time traveler or the descendant of a time traveler... Klein's expression remained unchanged, and he suppressed his desire to complain.
"I used to wonder why I had to hide my last name, until I became a Substitute Punisher and discovered that the Church of Storms had been searching for the remains of the elves, and had spared no effort to turn all the elves into Sealed Objects..."
"And the surname 'Zhang' may come from 'Elf'..."
Elvish? Klein recalled his mysticism course. This is one of the languages that can directly leverage the power of nature. In the Second Age, the Dark Age, there were elves... After the Third Age, the elves basically disappeared, not to mention the current Fifth Age...
There was nothing similar to Chinese in what Old Neil taught. Klein was a little confused. He tapped his fingers on the edge of the table as he pondered.
