My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 165: instant show

?? "The lowly slave Rong Da sees His Majesty!" Rong Da knelt down in the hall after entering the hall. His status was humble and he didn't dare to be like other officials, so he just bowed and saluted.

?? "Get up!" Li Shimin waved his hand, "Did the Sixth Prince ask you to come?"

??Rong Da stood up, still lowered his head and said: "I report to the emperor, it was the sixth prince who sent the lowly slave here."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at the arrogant Taoist Chunyang, with a smile on his face, he said: "Immortal Master Chunyang, the sixth prince sent someone to perform Taoist spells for me, I want you to watch it together, To distinguish the truth from the false." Li Shimin didn't want to say that he had doubts about Taoist Chunyang, if Taoist Chunyang really had some ability, wouldn't he offend Taoist Chunyang.

Taoist Chunyang has black hair and looks only about thirty years old. He has a wide mouth and nose, and a pair of slender eyes. He claimed to Li Shimin that he is more than three hundred years old this year. so young.

?? Taoist Chunyang heard the words, glanced at Rongda who was dressed as a servant, and said, "Chunyang takes orders!"

??Li Shimin nodded at this time, indicating that Rongda can start.

"Bring the things up!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and Li Ke shouted towards the door. At this time, he was really jealous. He accused Chunyang Taoist Li Shimin of being very angry, and moved Li Yin out, and Li Shimin disappeared immediately. Temper, why is there such a big gap between the same prince!

??As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, more than a dozen guards brought up an iron pot, a basin of clear water, a few pieces of talisman paper and other messy things.

When the ministers saw these things, they were all talking about it. They didn't know what this little servant wanted to do. Only Li Chengqian, Li Shimin and Taoist Chunyang knew what these things were used for. After these things were brought up, Li Shimin was silent. , Taoist Chunyang's complexion changed slightly, while Li Chengqian was in doubt.

?? "Your Majesty! This is the start of the lowly slave!" Rong Da said, pouring cooking oil mixed with white vinegar into the pot. Then put the pot on the red-hot charcoal stove.

?? Taking advantage of this time, Rong Da picked up a few more talisman papers, murmured something, and then suddenly flung them into the air. The talisman suddenly burst into flames.

"Xianshu, this is Xianshu!" Some ministers commented, looking at Rongda with a trace of awe in their eyes, Changsun Wuji and other purple-robed ministers were also surprised, Wei Zheng said: "Could it be that there is really a strange power in this world?" Chaos God only said?"

??Cen Wenwen had learned about this from Li Ke a long time ago, so he said: "Old Wei Ge just read it, and he will come to a conclusion."

??After burning the talisman paper, Rong Da brought a basin of clear water, then took three chopsticks, and just put them away. The chopsticks stood in the water, and more exclamations sounded from the side.

??When Li Shimin on the dragon chair saw this, his face became more and more gloomy, while Chunyang Zhenren's face was ashen. This servant's spells were much better than him.

"Please look, Your Majesty. I only have one copper coin in my hand!" At this time, Rong Da took out a copper coin from his cuff, walked around in front of Li Shimin and the ministers, and opened his other hand to indicate that it was the only one in his hand. There is a copper coin.

??Everyone was attracted by Rongda's movements and stared at Rongda's hands.

?? "Next, I will turn this copper coin into two!" Rong Da said loudly.

??Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. If one copper coin can be turned into two copper coins, will they worry about having no money in the future? at this time. They admired Rongda's spells even more.

??This spell is brand new, and Taoist Chunyang has never demonstrated it with Li Shimin. Li Shimin immediately became interested. He got off the dragon chair and walked to a position two meters away from Rongda, wanting to see it clearly.

?? Wait until Li Shimin comes down. Rong Da signaled again that there was only one copper coin in his hand, and then he held the right hand holding the copper coin, while his left hand kept moving back and forth over the right hand.

??Rongda's expression this time was in place, as if he was really casting a spell, and all eyes in the hall were focused on Chai Rong's right hand.

?? Shaking for a while. Chai Da suddenly showed a confident expression, put his right hand in front of Li Shimin and slowly opened it, two identical copper coins lay quietly in Rong Da's hand.

??Suddenly, everyone in the room was shocked, and so was Li Shimin. He stood in front of Rongda and watched the whole time, and the shock could no longer be expressed in words.

?? "How did you do it!" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

??Rong Da respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, this is just a trivial skill. All the things of the Bitch Slave Association were taught by His Highness the Sixth Highness."

??Li Shimin was about to ask in detail, when the sound of oil boiling came from the pot behind Rong Da, Rong Da glanced at the oil pot, and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to know the secret of this hand into the oil pot!"

?? "Of course!" Li Shimin said.

Rong Da respectfully said: "Your Majesty just need to put your hand in it!" As he spoke, Rong Da put his hand into the boiling oil pan, and then took it out again. The minister in the oil pan was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Bold and lowly slave, you dare to put your majesty in danger!" Li Chengqian pointed at Rongda and cursed. He was already extremely guilty at this time, and the Taoist Chunyang was even more unbearable. He had already slumped on the ground. It was impatience, and he was out of control for a while, and if he caught a mistake, he would kill Rongda, "Father, please punish this lowly slave!"

?? Li Shimin looked at Taoist Chunyang who was like a puddle of mud, then at Li Chengqian, and shouted, "Go away!"

?? After finishing speaking, regardless of the obstruction of other ministers, he put one hand into the oil pan.

??In an instant, the entire court hall fell silent. After Li Shimin put his hand in, he only felt warm, which was basically the same temperature as the water used to wash his hands, but the oil pan was still boiling.

Li Shimin sighed deeply and took his hand out of the oil pot, then he sat back on the dragon chair and looked at the Taoist Chunyang who was trembling with fright, "Immortal Master Chunyang, this one copper coin turns into two copper coins spell Do you know?"

??At this time, the Taoist Chunyang was no longer arrogant, his face was pale, and he trembled like a pendulum. He said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this immortal master's Taoism is better than the old Taoist."

??Li Shimin sneered again and again, he turned to Rongda: "Since the sixth prince asked you to expose these spells, then you should tell all the ministers, lest they be deceived by some charlatans like me in the future."

Rong Da nodded, this is the purpose of his trip, he said: "Your Majesty, it's actually very simple to put your hands into the oil pan, because the oil is under the vinegar, and the vinegar will boil when the pan is not very hot. , causing the oil to look scorching hot, but in fact the oil is not hot." Rong Da tried to explain in plain language, only Li Yin's talking about the boiling point temperature and the like may not be understood by them.

?? "Then what happened to the talisman paper burning?" Li Shimin asked again.

Rong Da replied: "It's very simple. These talisman papers are smeared with white phosphorous. This kind of thing will burn when it comes into contact with something hot. Just now, the cheap slave threw the talisman papers to the side of the charcoal furnace. The talisman papers will burn."

After all, Rongda took out a small bottle filled with water from the sundries at the back, and picked out some white things from it with bamboo chopsticks and placed them by the side of the charcoal stove. Suddenly, there was a burst of fire and smoke from the chopsticks. .

?? "Your Majesty, this is white phosphorus!" Rongda said after finishing the demonstration, putting the bottle containing white phosphorus in his hand.

??Li Shimin nodded, suddenly felt ashamed, it turns out that these so-called fairy arts are these things.

?? "Then what's the matter with the chopsticks?" A minister asked.

Rong Da said: "This is even easier. First of all, the number of chopsticks must be more than three, and before putting them into the water in the bowl, the three pairs of chopsticks must be soaked in water, and then they must be thick at the end of the chopsticks. Put it down, you can do it after going home and practicing a few times."

?? "So that's how it is!" said some ministers, and those ministers who shouted Xianju at the beginning all lowered their heads and stopped talking.

??The three things Rongda explained were all performed by Taoist Chunyang in front of Li Shimin. Li Shimin stared at the ashen-faced Taoist Chunyang, "Immortal Master Chunyang, do you have anything else to say?"

?? "Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty!" The secret of Taoist Chunyang's magic was exposed in front of everyone, and he could no longer maintain an image of immortality, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

?? Li Shimin said angrily: "It's not true!"

Taoist Chunyang was so frightened that he dared to hide it. It turned out that Taoist Chunyang had only been a Taoist priest for less than half a year. One day when he passed by a village, he saw a sloppy Taoist priest performing these three spells. Those villagers They all enshrined that sloppy Taoist priest as a god, offering him everything to eat and drink.

So, he pretended to make friends with this Taoist priest. After getting along for a few days, he found that this sloppy Taoist priest was addicted to alcohol, and he would reveal all the truth after drinking, so he got this sloppy Taoist priest drunk and learned from this Taoist priest. Knowing how to perform these three spells, and taking advantage of the sloppy Taoist's unpreparedness, he stole the white powder he was talking about.

Later, after a few practice sessions, he mastered these three sample collars proficiently. At this moment, he heard that the crown prince was going out hunting, so he waited for Li Chengqian on the way to Li Chengqian. There was a circle of white phosphorous powder, and it was like a **** descending from the flames and white smoke, which made Li Chengqian follow his way.

When the truth came out, Li Shimin sighed again. If it wasn't for Li Min, he would still be deceived by this charlatan. Thinking of the medicine that this person gave to Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's expression changed, and he said sharply, "Then you gave it to Empress Changsun. What is it?"

?? "Your Majesty, Cao Min used to be a doctor for diseases, and that prescription is a prescription for nourishing the body! There will be no problem." Taoist Chunyang hurriedly explained.

??Hearing this sentence, Li Shimin's expression softened. He didn't want to see this person again, so he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take this person to Dali Temple, and punish him according to the law!"

?? "Yes!" The two guards responded and escorted Taoist Chunyang out, leaving only Taoist Chunyang shouting for mercy along the way.

??At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian again.

?? Li Chengqian's face instantly turned pale.
