"What kind of skill is this?" Li Tao smiled faintly and said, "I can break the thread without touching the bottle from beginning to end." ”

"How is that possible?" Princess Taiping said in disbelief: "Unless you have a fairy magic." ”

Li Tao shook his head and said, "Although I don't have immortal magic, I have a way to do it." ”

Princess Taiping said in disbelief: "Tao'er, if you keep making it, I will punish you for drinking later!" ”

"What if I break it?" Li Tao asked with a smile.

"Then I'll punish myself with three glasses later!" Speaking of this, Princess Taiping didn't have any intentions: "Not only that, Shangguan Zhaorong will also personally toast you!" ”

Li Tao glanced at Shangguan Wan and said to Princess Taiping: "That's good, a word is a deal!" ”

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "No regrets!" ”

The two sides agreed, and Li Tao's eyes searched the room, trying to find a tool that matched his heart.

Seeing that his vision was wandering, Cui Xiang thought that Li Tao had no bottom in his heart, and couldn't help but worry: "Is there anything you need help with?" ”

Li Tao suddenly saw an identical glass bottle in the corner of the wall, which was placed there as a vase, so he smiled and said, "I want to take that bottle." ”

"Just take it." As soon as Princess Taiping waved her hand, Cui Xiang pulled out the bouquet and handed the bottle to Li Tao.

Seeing the round bottle belly, Li Tao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Don't bother the two masters, please trouble Lao Cui to get some water." ”

Cui Xiang nodded, and personally went to bring a basin of clear water.

Li Tao first washed the inside of the bottle, then filled it with water, and said with a smile: "Please aunt move outside the house." ”

Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er glanced at each other, and followed Li Tao to the outside of the house.

Although it is only the first month of the year, the midday sun still makes people feel ambiguous.

But seeing Li Tao put the transparent glass bottle on a round table, and then held another same round bottle, standing under the sun, the hand holding the bottle still moved slightly, as if asking God to help him.

For a whole quarter of an hour, Li Tao didn't move, and Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er also calmed down and stood quietly behind Li Tao.

Cui Xiang asked stupidly: "Li Xiaolangjun, you don't want to break the thread like this, do you?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a trace of black smoke rising from the bottle, and then I heard a "ding" sound, and the coin disappeared, and it should have fallen to the bottom of the bottle.

Princess Taiping and the three of them closed their mouths in surprise, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Is he a human or a ghost?" ”

They watched as the silk thread in the bottle suddenly burst spontaneously from the middle, and Li Tao never came close to the bottle within three feet, just holding the bottle filled with water and standing aside, Princess Taiping felt a chill in her back.

Shangguan Wan'er was the first to come back to her senses and said, "What's going on?" ”

Li Tao originally wanted to pretend to be a ghost to increase his sense of mystery, but seeing that these people reacted so strongly, he had to give up this idea and said with a wry smile: "Don't think nonsense, this is just the method I see from the book." ”

Shangguan Wan'er sighed with emotion: "King Lantian, which book did you read it from?" ”

"In the Western Han Dynasty's "Huainan Wanbi Shu", it is said that 'cutting ice makes a circle, lifting it to the sun, and taking the shadow of Ai Cheng, then the fire is born.' This is something that exists in the memory before the time travel, and Li Tao answered very fluently.

"What? Start a fire with ice? Princess Taiping was surprised, she had only heard of "ice and fire are incompatible", but she had never heard of "ice can make fire", and couldn't help but look at Cui Xiang and Shangguan Wan'er, hoping that they could distinguish the authenticity.

Cui Yu blushed secretly, he had only heard of this book, but he had not read it. In fact, this book is not an isolated book, but I am too busy as an official, so how can I have the leisure to read those miscellaneous books.

Shangguan Wan'er has read a lot, and she still has an impression of this sentence, she asked in a slight voice: "Yes, but there is this sentence, but the book says 'cutting ice to make a circle', you didn't take ice." ”

Li Tao explained with a smile: "The so-called ice cutting circle is just to get a transparent arc. Students now use a clear round belly bottle filled with water, and the effect is the same. ”

"Just use this bottle to start a fire?" Princess Taiping was surprised: "What kind of truth is this? ”

"The midday sunlight itself is extremely scorching, and when the light passes through this bottle, it converges a little bit, which is equivalent to increasing the heat several times." Li Tao explained in as plain terms as possible: "Move this point to the cotton thread, the cotton thread can't withstand the heat, so it burns." ”

Although Princess Taiping basically didn't understand, she still admired and admired again and again.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Princess Taiping and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, didn't you treat us today to let us stand here and drink the northwest wind, right?" ”

"Where, where, three of you, please!" Princess Taiping understood and hurriedly said.

Li Tao knew that Princess Taiping's first test was over for the time being.

There are eight plates of meat and vegetarian cold spells on the table, and there is also a precious fruit and a pastry snack in front of each seat. As for cups, plates, tableware, etc., needless to say, they are neatly arranged in place.

Princess Taiping sat on the upper seat, Shangguan Wan'er was the main seat, Li Tao was arranged to be the guest seat opposite Princess Taiping, and Cui Xiang sat with Li Tao at the bottom.

Then there are maids passing dishes, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of meat and vegetables. As if instructed in advance, the maid put some tempting dishes in front of Shen Mo.

Li Tao always has a dignified appearance, his eyes do not squint, as if he is used to any gizzards, and he has no intention at all.

Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er felt more and more strange in their hearts, Li Tao has been living in the countryside, and he must inevitably be contaminated with some vulgar habits, who knew that he was so gentle and elegant.

"Did he pretend?" Princess Taiping said secretly: "I have specially prepared food today, even if there is not necessarily it in the palace, this is already over, I am still hungry, let alone him?" ”

Thinking of this, Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Tao'er, it's not too early, let's eat something and snack first, and then drink later." ”

"I'll listen to my aunt's arrangement." Li Tao nodded.

The four of them began to eat separately, and Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er peeked at Li Tao while eating. Li Tao held the bowl slowly, eating very gently, knowing that this demeanor was not cultivated overnight, and the two couldn't help exchanging a puzzled look.

After eating the staple food, Princess Taiping raised her wine glass with a smile and said, "Tao'er, I mean what I say, and now I will punish myself with three glasses!" ”

After that, he drank three cups in a row.

After drinking, Princess Taiping toasted Li Tao again, and Shangguan Wan'er and Cui Xiang had to raise a glass to accompany them.

After saluting three times in a row, and drinking three times at the table, it was supposed to be time to stop eating the dishes. But I heard Princess Taiping say: "It's all literati, why don't we make a wine order, eat food, don't punish wine, Tao'er, what do you think?" ”
