Chapter 1319: The So-called Divine Power (II)
The reincarnation of the fairy was naturally a joke that Li Xiu said, but when he asked the palace maid to take out the dry grass in her arms, it made the ministers in the palace exclaim, and Li Shimin's face sank even more, only to see that the withered grass taken out by the palace maid also turned yellow and green, and the leaves were full and vibrant, which was no worse than Po Mei.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiu came to Po Mei again, picked up the leaf he had just used to cut the fish, and also cut a fish and threw it into the basin, but the leaf fish was also shaking its head and tail very smartly.
In the end, Li Xiu took out a piece of twine from the linen cloth on Po Mei's body, tied it to the copper coin and lit it with fire, and finally the copper coin was also pulled by the thread ash and did not fall, and when he did these things, although Po Mei pretended to be calm, but his eyes already showed a little panicked.
"Mother, do you want to explain it to me?" Li Shimin looked at Po Mei with a sinking face at this time, he was also suppressing his anger at this time, not only did he feel cheated, but the most important thing was that his dream of immortality was shattered.
"This ...... I heard that Yan Guogong is a famous wise man in the Tang Dynasty, and now it seems that he really lives up to his reputation, and he can learn my magical powers after watching it once, which really makes me feel admired! Although Po Mei was panicked at this time, she still stubbornly said, and kept praising Li Xiu in her words, probably with the last trace of luxury, hoping that Li Xiu could keep it secret for him.
But Li Xiu sneered at this time and said, "Mother-in-law, you are still stubborn, do you want me to expose all your ghost tricks?" ”
Although Li Shimin was deceived before, he naturally understood that he had been deceived at this time, which made him even more angry, and casually picked up a blank piece of paper on the table and threw it to Po Mei and said: "Aren't you able to cut fish, then use this blank paper to cut another one for me!" ”
In fact, Po Mei's tricks are not complicated, but Li Shimin and others were taken away by Po Mei, whether they were buried alive or the unbelievable yoga just now, they were all means to shock Li Shimin and others, but now that they finally came to their senses, they naturally discovered the flaws in Po Mei's tricks.
As for the white paper that Li Shimin threw at him, he didn't dare to pick it up, because his so-called fish cutting was actually moving his hands and feet on the leaves, no matter what shape he cut into, he would swim around in the water, and ordinary white paper naturally couldn't do such an effect.
"Your Majesty! I have practiced for two hundred years, and I do have the art of immortality, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can bury me in the ground for ten years, and wait until ten years later to open it, and naturally you will know the truth or falsehood! Po Mei didn't dare to take the blank paper thrown to him by Li Shimin, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and said, the magical powers he performed just now were naturally fake, but his immortal technique was real, even if he was buried for ten years, he was confident that he could survive.
Seeing that Po Mei still didn't admit defeat at this time, and even wanted to fake death to get through, which made Li Xiu sneer and said: "The legendary immortality is not good, it is immortal and immortal, and its longevity is better than heaven and earth, since you boast of immortality, how dare you only let people be buried alive, I think it is better to try to cut off his head, if you can still live, then I believe that you can really live forever!" ”
"The horse is extremely good, the legend is that the gods are not afraid of water and fire, in addition to the sword soldiers, I can also try the fire oil pot, if you can't even do this, what are you talking about immortality?" The eldest grandson Wuji also stood up at this time and said, he had been watching coldly just now, waiting for this opportunity.
Hearing the words of Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji, Po Mei was also frightened, he can be buried alive without dying, but it does not mean that he can really live forever, in fact, he is just an ordinary person with some special abilities, and he naturally can't live if his head falls off.
Li Shimin also regained his usual sanity at this time, and when he saw the change in Po Mei's expression, he naturally knew that he had been deceived, and he couldn't help but be angry and shouted loudly at the moment: "Drag him out and behead him, bring his head back, I want to see if he is really immortal!" ”
With Li Shimin's orders, a guard immediately stepped forward to drag Po Mei away, and finally scared Po Mei and begged for mercy loudly, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xuance offered a monk to confuse the public, please ask Your Majesty to arrest him and ask him for guilt!" Seeing that Po Mei was dead, some people immediately thought that this monk was offered by Wang Xuance, so he stood up and played.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xuance's offering of Po Mei just said that he had a strange art, but this Po Mei made his own ideas to deceive His Majesty, so Wang Xuance is no wonder about this matter!" At this time, Li Xiu stood up and pleaded with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also wanted to arrest Wang Xuance to ask for guilt at this time, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then thought about it carefully, when Wang Xuance first offered Po Mei, he did not say that Po Mei could live forever, but only said that he had a strange art, and even sent it to Li Shimin to relieve his boredom like Youling, but later Po Mei himself boasted that he could live forever, so he let himself fall into it step by step.
"Having said that, after all, Po Mei was offered by Wang Xuance, and he will inevitably be guilty, but he has a meritorious role in destroying Tianzhu, and he can't easily ask for guilt, and I will deal with it after thinking about it!" After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin finally decided to suspend Wang Xuance's punishment.
Hearing that Li Shimin did not immediately punish Wang Xuance, Li Xiu was also relieved, but Li Shimin was angry at this time, although Po Mei died, but the Tianzhu prisoners of war offered by Wang Xuance were still there, and as a result, Li Shimin's anger was vented on these people, and as a result, except for a small number of beautiful girls who were singled out and rewarded to the ministers, the rest of the people were all executed, which was the anger of the Son of Heaven.
For the above things, Li Xiu didn't pay attention to it anymore, but afterwards the eldest grandson Wuji found him and asked him about the mystery of those "supernatural powers" in Po Mei, Li Xiu also explained with a smile, in fact, those supernatural powers are very simple, for example, the dry grass is not ordinary dead grass, but a kind of grass called curly cypress, which can wither when there is a lack of water, but after encountering water, it can come back to life immediately, and the reason why Li Xiu let the palace maid run is to make her sweat, with the help of sweat and body temperature, it is naturally easy to resurrect curly cypress.
As for the fish shearing and hanging ash, in fact, these two things have undergone special treatment, such as the thread is soaked in salt brine and then dried, the thread is burned out, but the salt brine is crystallized, so that the copper coin will not fall, etc., anyway, they are all small tricks.
"I see!" After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Li Xiu and said, "Although the matter of Po Mei has dealt a blow to His Majesty's pursuit of immortality, if there is another person like Po Mei in the future, it is inevitable that His Majesty will have such thoughts, so what method should we use to make His Majesty completely give up the pursuit of immortality?" ”
