Chapter 4004: Good Show
Early in the morning, there were people gathered in front of the Wenxin Marquis's Mansion, all of whom rushed to see the excitement after hearing the news, including ordinary people, as well as young masters and young ladies of the family hiding in the carriage and sedan chairs, all of whom were waiting for the cloaked man to appear.
The front of his house was full of people, even if everyone in the Hou Mansion wanted to stay out of the matter, not to mention that this matter originally involved the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion had to show an attitude.
After An Shiting discussed with the old lady, he set up a platform on the street in front of the door, and put a stool underneath it, which was arranged like a stage, so that the people who joined in the excitement could see it clearly.
The old lady confessed and said: "If you want to make trouble, let's make a big fuss, the stage is all set, I want to see what kind of show I want to play!" ”
Saying this, the old lady naturally would not sit in the house and wait for news, she asked people to move the screen curtain to the steps at the door, and took the house up and down to sit in person.
An Ruoxian was also among them, her hands sweating nervously.
She was grateful to the old lady for this move, which undoubtedly made the matter even bigger.
And the bigger the trouble, the better her chances!
Opportunities always coexist with dangers, if today's battle is won, the goddess and holy water will be famous, and then she will act more conveniently, and the bigger the chips, the male protagonist can't be unmoved!
Even if she loses, she still has a bet with the man in white, betting on whether the male protagonist is willing to marry her in exchange for getting holy water. No matter how bad it is, she can also change the package of the holy water and make a comeback, as long as the holy water is still in her hands, as long as there are still **, she can fall down and get up again endlessly!
Having said that, An Ruoxian is sure that she will win!
Because the only man in white who might have the ability to destroy the holy water has already made a bet with her. It won't appear for the time being, no one is in the way, how can she lose?
An Ruoxian can't wait to watch the show.
The parties have not yet appeared. In front of the Hou Mansion was already bustling and noisy, in the noise, an inconspicuous carriage slowly stopped at the corner of the street, and a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing the sleeve corner of the owner of the carriage.
Inside the car, Bai Ling asked puzzledly: "Miss, the old lady is all outside." Why don't you just go back to the Hou Mansion and hide here? ”
It was An Ruolan who sat in the car.
Hearing this, An Ruolan just smiled and shook his head. said: "I'm a married daughter, it's not good to meddle in the affairs of the Hou Mansion again, and I have a hunch that if I don't show up." That person might just show up. ”
"Who is that person?" Bai Ling tilted his head in confusion. An Ruolan made a silent gesture.
On this day, she was supposed to accompany her four cousins-in-law to Weijia Racecourse, but her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law saw her absent-mindedness and knew that she was worried about the Hou Mansion, so everyone didn't let her accompany her anymore, so she had time to come and have a look.
She knew that if she wanted to stop the holy water from continuing to spread in Shengjing and deceive people's minds, today would be the best. It is also the only chance, and when it comes to the divine power to be able to crack the holy water. All she could think of was the man.
The mysterious person who gave her tips a few years ago and saved Sister Jin.
For some reason, subconsciously she just thought that person could do it.
Around the clock, the man in black cloak finally appeared in front of the Hou Mansion, and the battle in front of him made him stunned, and then he laughed and said: "The Hou Mansion is so gracious, but it is disrespectful below!" ”
After saying that, he turned around, tapped his toes, and flew directly onto the platform that had been built, and the people below exclaimed.
After standing still, the man in the cloak took out a white porcelain vial from his bosom and said, "This is the legendary holy water!" ”
The people exclaimed again and began to talk in private.
With a sneer, the old lady lowered her eyelids and fiddled with the rosary in her hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "The old woman asked people to set up a good platform, but I didn't come to see you play tricks, how to prove the divine power of holy water, please start quickly." ”
"yes, yes, don't waste time, let's get started!" And the people below also cried out.
The man in the cloak raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, let's start here, just before again, I want a small demonstration in the next." ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly took out a dagger, and with a lightning speed, he scratched his palm, and blood was splashed everywhere.
The man in the cloak did not bandage it, but poured holy water directly on the wound.
"Everyone, please see." He spread his five fingers and showed the wound in front of everyone, only to see that the bloody wound had quickly stopped bleeding, and the open wound had been slowly healing.
After a while, the man in the cloak wiped the blood from the wound, and the wound had already closed!
"Wow!"
Seeing this, the audience erupted in cheers, and some people shouted: "The wound is healed, the goddess has appeared!" ”
Some fell to their knees, clasped their hands together and muttered.
The man in the cloak turned his wound towards Mrs. An again, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smug smile.
An Ruoxian raised her chin imperceptibly behind everyone.
The old lady's eyes flashed with a different color, but she quickly regained her calm and calm, and said: "It is indeed magical, but based on the scene in front of me, it is too exaggerated to say that holy water can live the dead with flesh and bones." ”
There is no doubt that these words were attacked by the goddess's followers, but there were also doubtful voices.
The man in the cloak seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and when he heard this, he just smiled confidently: "In the next place, it is just a demonstration, and the next thing is to show the true divine power of holy water!" ”
Then he shouted, "Bring it on!" ”
While everyone was curious, another man in black suddenly appeared and led a dying black dog to the stage.
The man in the cloak pointed to the black dog and said: "People can act, but dogs can't, this dog has already taken poison, if there is no antidote, it will soon die, now I will give it holy water, everyone can see with their own eyes!" ”
Then pour holy water into the mouth of the black dog.
At the last moment, a leisurely voice said: "Wait! ”
Everyone was startled, and when they looked up, they saw a man in white falling from the sky and landing steadily on the stage. The pure white mask on his face exuded an aura of tranquility.
The green silk is like ink, and the body is snow-white, and the masked man who suddenly appeared is both an immortal and an ethereal dust. There is also the flickering coldness of the ghost, which will make people look straight for a while. Despite wearing a mask, everyone believed that this would be a man of unparalleled appearance.
"It's him!" An Ruolan and An Ruoxian exclaimed in their hearts at the same time, but An Ruolan was a surprise and An Ruoxian was frightened.
How could he come?! An Ruoxian's eyes flashed with panic, and a bad premonition instantly crept into her heart.
The man in the cloak was also startled, but he stopped moving. He got up and asked, "I don't know what your Excellency is doing?" ”
The man in white smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I also have a bottle of holy water." It's just that I'm not here to verify that holy water has divine powers, on the contrary, I'm here to debunk this rumor. With a flick of his sleeve, there was a white porcelain vial in his almost white and transparent hand.
The man in the cloak was stunned. The eyebrows behind the black veil of the cloak furrowed tightly. He said in a deep voice: "You said that you are holy water, what evidence do you have?" ”
"Of course I have proof." Bai still smiled, only to see his fingertips lightly swiped on the palm of his hand, and a finger-long wound appeared in the palm of his hand, and blood flowed out.
"Yikes!" There was a cry of regret in the carriage behind the crowd, and the ordinary people in the audience also looked pity, as if they were distressed that the white jade-like hand was scratched.
The cloaked man's face was twisted, just now when he scratched the palm of his hand. There are only screams of horror and disgust!
The man in white seemed to be satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he bowed his head slightly. According to the man's movements before, he poured the liquid in the white porcelain vial into the wound, and just like just now, the wound on his hand also stopped bleeding and healed.
"How? Brother Tai still doubts the authenticity of this bottle of holy water? The man in white stretched out his hand to the man in the cloak.
The man in the cloak choked, unable to say anything more questioning.
The people below said, "It's the same, it seems that this is also holy water!" ”
Seeing this, the man in the cloak gritted his teeth, approached the man in white, and said in a low voice, "What do you want?" Do you know who I am? If you spoil the good deeds of my master, can you bear the consequences?! ”
Hearing this, the man in white just smiled indifferently, flicked his wide sleeves, and said, "Naturally, I am here today because I know." ”
"You!" The man in the cloak didn't expect his threat to be ineffective at all, and he was a little confused for a while.
The man in white smiled lowly and said, "Since Brother Tai is not in a hurry to verify the divine power of the holy water, then I have to make another real thing for everyone first." ”
"Wait!" This time, the man who changed the cloak shouted to stop, and he said eagerly: "How do I know if you have done something to the holy water in your hand?!" ”
"Oh, really?" The man in white raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly: "Since Brother Tai has this question, then I also have a question I want to ask, since Brother Tai said that holy water is a sacred object, what can I do to it as a mortal?" Or is holy water not worthy of its name at all? ”
The man in the cloak was so blocked that he had nothing to say, so he could only glance at his subordinates who were mixed in the audience.
It's just that someone moves faster than his subordinates, and before his subordinates can react, someone first said in a loud voice: "Since the holy water is really a divine object, what are you afraid of, or is this white-clothed boy not a mortal, so he can do something to the holy water?" ”
These words caused everyone to talk about it, and some people even pointed to the man in white and called out the gods.
The corner of the white-clothed man's mouth twitched imperceptibly under the mask.
The man in the cloak was helpless, so he had to say: "Then I believe you didn't do anything, but there is always one who comes first and then comes." ”
The implication was that he should come first.
The man in white did not nod or shake his head, and was silent.
Seeing the stalemate between the two on the stage, An Ruoxian was so nervous that her palms were sweating, she was not sure if the holy water in the hands of the man in white was real, after all, there were all kinds of strange things in the world, and it was not excluded that there were other miracle medicines to heal wounds, but no matter whether the holy water in the hands of the man in white was true or not, she could only succeed if she drank the holy water to the dog before the man in white!
However, the more restless he is, the slower time passes, in An Ruoxian's opinion, almost a century has passed, and the white man finally spoke, he smiled: "Since it is all holy water, it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes later, since Brother Tai insists on taking the first step, he is not reluctant to do it, but he thinks that this dog is not suitable for testing medicine, and he also asks Brother Tai to take out the antidote to detoxify this dog first, and then we will test the divine power of holy water." ”
As the words fell, a crisp and melodious voice came from a luxurious carriage, saying, "This gentleman in white is right, if the goddess is really the god of the Nine Heavens, how can she bear to hurt innocent beings in order to show her divine power?" ”
A lot of carriages were parked in front of the Hou Mansion, and there were echoes when they heard the rumors.
Under pressure, the man in the cloak had no choice but to detoxify the black dog, and said to the man in white fiercely: "The dog is also released, but you can tell me how to verify it." ”
"It's simple." The man in white spread his hand and said, "I have two poisons here, although they are highly poisonous, they will not be known immediately, we will take one of them in a while, and then drink the holy water in our hands to verify the divine power of the holy water, what does Brother Tai think?" ”
“!” The man in the cloak almost jumped up when he heard this, and a fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He knew very well the efficacy of holy water, and holy water alone could not detoxify!
The man in white raised his eyebrows, and the poison stretched forward, "How?" Brother Tai dare to give it a try? ”
"This ......," the cloaked man trembled and didn't dare to take it.
Seeing this scene, An Ruoxian only felt that the sky was dark, and she ignored a possibility, that is, the man in white really had no way to crack the effectiveness of the holy water, but if he couldn't crack the divine power of the holy water, it didn't mean that he couldn't destroy the holy water!
As long as you have seen the original work, it is clear that holy water only has the effect of buffs, and as long as you take advantage of this, the lie that holy water is a sacred object will be self-defeating.
She was intoxicated by the powerful effects of the holy water, but she forgot that the determination of the holy water was not vulnerable at all.
If it weren't for the public, An Ruoxian would have fainted a long time ago, in order not to let others see the flaws, she tried her best to stay calm, Rao is so, she is already pale, cold sweat flowing. Thankfully, everyone's attention was on the stage and didn't notice her anomaly.
Holding on, An Ruoxian waited for a result she didn't want to see.
The man in the cloak finally took the poison from the man in white, but he made a request, saying, "It is true that the holy water cannot be tampered with, but the bottle is not, in order to prove his innocence, I propose that we exchange the holy water." ”
He was sure that the antidote had been put in the holy water of the man in white.
However, unexpectedly, the man in white readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, but Brother Tai is really suspicious, since he is here to debunk the rumors that the holy water is a sacred object, how can he do anything superfluous?" ”
Hearing this, the man in the cloak trembled, and the porcelain vase in his hand was almost unstable.
But at this point, he has no way out, and now he can only bet that the poison is fake!
Ruthless, the man in the cloak swallowed the poison with the man in white.
In front of so many people, he didn't dare to deceive, he really swallowed the poison.
Seeing this, the man in white evoked a very shallow smile, put his fair and slender fingers in front of his lips, and said word by word: "It's a real poison." ”
The man in the cloak stiffened, and the next moment there was a sharp pain in his internal organs like fire.
"It seems that the effect of the medicine has taken effect, brother, drink the holy water and show everyone the great divine power of the holy water." The man in white smiled so much that he couldn't eat the soot of the world.
The man in the cloak had five fingers into claws, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't even speak. (To be continued......)
