Chapter 51 Expose the deception and scare the Taoist to death
Facing Zhao Ji's rebuke, Liang Xin did not panic, but Yang Jian couldn't help but help Liang Xin with a few words: "Your Majesty, Liang Xin is young and ignorant. He was just talking nonsense just now, and there was no malice.
"
"You can't blaspheme the gods by talking nonsense. I think Liang Xin, you are arrogant because of your own merits." Zhao Ji seemed to be really angry, and Yang Jian was able to calm down his anger by explaining.
Liang Xin couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Zhao Ji wearing a purple gauze Taoist robe and a purple jade Taoist crown. At the same time, he felt a little sad. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the country was in turmoil. There were strong enemies outside and rebellions inside. A monarch did not think about how to govern the country all day long.
Instead, he was obsessed with calligraphy, painting, antiques, Taoism and alchemy. With such a monarch, it is no wonder that the Northern Song Dynasty fell.
Liang Xin saluted Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense, but I do know a thing or two about the so-called Taoism that Eunuch Yang Jian is talking about now. If the emperor doesn't believe it, I can
How about we practice it immediately on the spot and let the emperor inspect it?"
"Let me see if you don't hit the wall and don't look back, okay! Let me see how capable you are." Zhao Ji smiled nonchalantly. In his opinion, Liang Xin's remarks and actions were simply a mantis trying to overestimate his capabilities.
Liang Xin bowed his hands to Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Then he went down to prepare.
On the playground outside Xianyun Palace, a fire-dyed oil pan, a mahogany sword and yellow paper for setting up the altar, and a large water tank filled with water were all prepared.
Liang Xin walked up to Zhao Ji with confidence and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we are ready. Can we start now?"
"Haha. You really take it seriously, okay. Let me see what you are capable of. You start by taking the copper coins from the oil pan." Zhao Ji also became interested at this time, and he put the most difficult thing into the oil pan first.
The copper coins were only given to Liang Xin, in order to make Liang Xin quit in spite of the difficulties.
Liang Xin nodded and bowed and said: "I obey the order." After saying that, Liang Xin walked to the oil pot. The hot oil pot kept rolling and bubbling, and it seemed that the oil had completely boiled.
Liang Xin took out five copper coins from his arms and threw them into the oil pan. Then he rolled up the sleeve of his right hand. Yang Jian, who was standing by and watching, saw that Liang Xin was really about to reach in, so he quickly stopped him and said: "Xin'er, you are still young.
I don’t have enough magic power, why don’t I ask the emperor for a favor and come back to perform in a few days?”
Liang Xin smiled at Yang Jian and said, "Don't worry, foster father, the child is sure." After Liang Xin said that, he immediately put his hand into the oil pan. Yang Jian was too frightened to open his eyes, but Zhao Ji looked curious.
He looked at Liang Xin, because he didn't even see any pain on his face.
Seeing that there was no movement, Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes and saw Liang Xin reaching out to fumble around in the pot and then taking his hand out. He happened to be holding five copper coins in his hand.
"This..." Zhao Ji and Yang Jian were both stunned. Liang Xin smiled and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Taoist Lin Su.
Taoist Master Lin Su's face was pale. When Zhao Ji turned around to look at him, he immediately raised his right hand into a palm and said calmly: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, I didn't expect that this gentleman is born with all five senses. Such people must be extremely smart.
But we know that if the country has such a god and man, the country will be peaceful and the people will be peaceful and peaceful forever."
"Is Liang Xin a god?" Zhao Ji looked at Liang Xin in surprise, looking left and right, unable to tell where his god was. However, he also remembered that the number one scholar Cao Yuanzheng once said that Liang Xin was born to be a superior person.
Liang Xin glanced at Lin Su with a smile, and thought that this Taoist priest was very cunning. After his deception was exposed, he actually made up a theory about gods and men, and wanted to bribe him to join him in deceiving the emperor.
Liang Xin did not expose him, and continued to go downstairs to perform the peach wood sword cutting yellow paper and bleeding. Liang Xin picked up the peach wood sword and performed a few tricks. He had really practiced swordsmanship, and the two moves he performed were comparable.
Lin Su's dancing like a great master is much more beautiful.
Liang Xin picked up the mahogany sword in his hand, and a piece of yellow paper flew up. Liang Xin yelled: "Monster, quickly attack me!", he slashed with the mahogany sword, and a red mark immediately appeared on the yellow paper, as if it was bleeding.
"This, this, this... a magical skill, a magical skill." Zhao Ji clapped his hands in surprise: "I never imagined that you, Liang Xin, have such power. I was really disrespectful to you in the past, so disrespectful and disrespectful."
Liang Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He saluted Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty is serious, these are just trivial tricks. Since Taoist Master Lin is here today, I will perform two more different ones."
Liang Xin reached out and called a young eunuch. After whispering a few words, the young eunuch nodded and went down. Not long after, four young eunuchs came over carrying charcoal and paved a road.
Under the gaze of Zhao Ji and others, Liang Xin took off his shoes and jumped on the ground with his bare feet. Then he ran to Huo Tan Road and ran towards it. After finishing walking on Huo Tan Road, Liang Xin stretched out his feet for Zhao Ji and the others to take a look.
There was no burn at all except for some black charcoal.
This time, even Lin Su seemed to be stunned, and had no idea how Liang Xin did it. Liang Xin smiled faintly and nodded to the four little eunuchs who had just come over from the fire. The four little eunuchs gave Liang Xin
He brought a chair over and handed him a wooden box.
Liang Xin sat on a chair and threw the contents of the wooden box into the coals. The coals burned and black smoke floated out. When the black smoke dispersed, Zhao Ji, Yang Jian, and Lin Su actually saw Liang Xin's whole body lit up.
The glow is like the gods and Buddhas from heaven descending into the human world.
Liang Xin shot Lin Su with his eyes like swords and said, "Lin Su! Why don't you kneel down when you see this god coming?"
Lin Su's eyes widened, and when he heard what Liang Xin said, he subconsciously knelt down on the ground. At the same time, Zhao Ji and Yang Jian looked at each other, and they both knelt down on the ground at the same time and shouted loudly: "
Your Majesty, please accept the worship of us mortals!"
When Liang Xin saw that Zhao Ji actually knelt down to him, he jumped up from his chair in fright.
This time the game got serious. Liang Xin quickly ran to Zhao Ji and helped Zhao Ji and Yang Jian up. Then he knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The rays of light coming from Wei Chen's body just now were just a trick. Including those before.
All kinds of Taoism are all deceptive tricks."
"A deceptive trick?" Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment. He didn't see anything about Liang Xin's performance just now that was a lie.
Liang Xin explained: "Weichen was able to get the copper coins from the oil pan because there was only a layer of oil floating on the surface of the oil pan, and the bottom was full of vinegar. The vinegar rolled earlier after being heated by fire, but it was not very hot.
So Wei Chen will not be hurt if he reaches in.
In addition, the sword cut the yellow paper and it bled. It was actually because the yellow paper had been dyed with turmeric water early in the morning, and then there was alkaline water on the peach wood sword. Turmeric will turn blood red when it encounters alkali. Here is the secret.
As for walking the charcoal road, as long as the road is fast and not long, everyone can actually walk it. Because the skin on the soles of people's feet is thicker than the skin on other parts of the body. It takes a certain amount of time for charcoal to burn people, but if the speed is fast enough, it will not
It will hurt you."
"Then...then what's going on with the glow all over your body just now?" Zhao Ji's face has begun to turn a little pale, and there is overwhelming anger in his eyes.
Liang Xin lowered his head and replied: "Weichen threw rosin powder into the charcoal. Once the rosin powder burns, it will glow, so just now Weichen's body glowed with glow."
"So that's it." Zhao Ji turned around and glared at Lin Su and asked in a gloomy voice: "You have been lying to me all this time!"
Lin Su's pupils dilated and his face suddenly turned green and he fell to the ground. Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment. Liang Xin got up and checked, and then said: "Your Majesty, he is dead."
"Dead? Why did he suddenly die immediately after saying he was dead?" Zhao Ji was confused.
Liang Xin checked it carefully and said with certainty: "If I go back to the emperor, he will be scared to death."
"Scared to death?" Zhao Ji was speechless. He felt that today was the day when his beliefs and concepts collapsed. The Taoism he had always been superstitious about were all deceptive tricks. The Taoist priest he had always believed in was actually scared to death by himself.
Zhao Ji was furious. He took off the purple jade Taoist crown he was wearing and threw it to the ground. Then he took off the purple gauze Taoist robe he was wearing and smashed it to the ground.
Perhaps out of frustration, he stepped hard on the purple gauze robe. Such a child's behavior almost made Liang Xin laugh.
Zhao Ji turned around and pointed at Xianyun Palace and said: "Yang Jian, seal this ruined palace for me. From now on, no one is allowed to talk about Taoism in the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Jian responded respectfully.
Zhao Ji walked forward angrily. Liang Xin looked at Zhao Ji's back and smiled. Suddenly he remembered the purpose of entering the palace today, so he hurried after him and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
