Chapter 486: The Ice of the Wind
"Me?" I pointed at him with my hand, and an imperceptible panic swept across the face of the real murderer. "Just kidding, how could Young Master Ben steal any tattered tokens?"
"It's useless to deny." I shook my head and said, "There are a total of ten people in the Imperial Palace, but you are the only one who has cultivated the secret method of controlling animalsβWan Si Gongzi!" β
Wan Wuhua, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast King, has cultivated an extremely clever beast control secret technique, which can easily serve large animals such as giant anacondas and horses.
That's right, the real thief I identified was him.
"A dirty animal like a mouse, Young Master Ben doesn't want to control it." Wan Wuhua's face showed disgust, "Take a step back, even if I really control a mouse, you just said that the mouse has no ability to steal tokens at all!" β
"That's why I said that rats are nothing more than accomplices." I snapped, "And you're the out-and-out mastermind!" β
"Boy, are you mistaken?" At this time, the third master of Tong came out to speak for Wan Wuhua. "Although my fourth nephew is not of good character, he is the second to enter the tent after all, and so many people are in and out of the small dark room behind, he has no chance to do it."
"He doesn't have to wait for a chance." I said in a deep voice, "As long as he goes directly into the small dark room and takes away the token when it's his turn!" β
"Take it?" The third master said again, "Even if you can't believe Wuxi, Old Man Zhang and Mr. Lai, you should always believe me, right?" I will say it again - until I leave the little black room, the tokens are obediently left on the table. β
"Third Master, are you sure that the one you saw at that time is a real token?" I asked.
"Although the light at that time was relatively dim, my bronze third eyes were quite good, so that I couldn't even distinguish the shape of a stone." Tong Sanye said, "Of course, I don't dare to say that there must be no fake, but if the token I see is fake, the fake token will not grow its own legs, so when it is your turn, where did the fake token go?" β
"Don't say the rats stole it." Wan Wuhua shouted, "Even if there is really any fake token, it can hold down the mechanism on the small wooden table, which means that it still has a certain weight - both weight and volume, even if it is a fake token, the mouse can't steal it, right?" β
"That's a good question." I said leisurely, "That's right, the token is indeed fake, and it is a fake that has been imitated to be eighty percent similar, in an environment like a small black house, although everyone has their own means of lighting, and their eyesight has to be somewhat affected, it is normal not to find that it is a fake." As for the whereabouts of the fake tokens...... I have to say, although this fake token can't grow legs on its own, it will grow wings on its own! β
"Wings?" Tong Sanye said suspiciously, "Boy, are you getting more outrageous the more you talk about it?" β
"It's not that I'm outrageous, it's that Wan Sigongzi's trick of 'stealing the sky and changing the day' is too slippery." As I spoke, I took out something from behind me and gently swung it onto the pile of tokens: "Look. β
"When did you steal a token?" Luo Ziyan said curiously.
"What is stealing, let's be fake, imitation." I laughed, "Look closely, can you tell which one is true and which one is false?" β
"Of course it's fake." Tong Sanye shook his head and said, "First of all, the color is not right, and there are many details in the shape that are not right, and it is too rough." β
"I made it myself, although it was a little rougher, but it was enough to demonstrate to everyone." I don't care.
"What do you mean...... The token I saw at the time was the same thing as this one you made? "The third master of Tong finally understood.
"That's right." I nodded, "It's just that the fake token was made more meticulous at that time, and with the special environment of the small black house as a cover, it was able to successfully deceive so many people." β
Speaking of this, I took out a two-foot square flannel cloth from behind me and gently covered the fake token.
"Perform a little trick on everyone, don't blink...... Open! I pretended to mutter, and then pulled the flannel away.
Call......
As the saying goes: The wind blows the eggshell, the wealth scatters the people and the people are happy, and the fake token that was placed at the top of the token pile just now has completely disappeared at this moment.
I repeatedly showed the flannel in my hand to everyone, proving that the fake token was not hidden in the flannel.
"The trick is getting pretty good, where did the stuff go?" Luo Ziyan asked.
"Grow wings and fly away on your own." I said.
"Are you kidding? Or is it true? Luo Ziyan showed a confused look.
"Pearls aren't so real!" I clapped my legs and stood up, "The moment the flannel was uncovered just now, did everyone feel anything wrong?" β
"If you want to say something is wrong...... "Tong Sanye muttered, "Does a cold wind suddenly blow through?" β
"Count!" I nodded vigorously and said, "And what took away the fake token was the cold windβah, no, it should be said that the cold wind was actually the fake token itself!" β
"What do you mean?" The third master of Tong was suddenly confused, "You said that the fake token you made turned into a gust of yin wind and flew away?" β
"Exactly." I said.
"Did I hear me right?" The third master of Tong was surprised, "Could it be that there are really immortal spells in the world?" β
"Speaking of spells, the internal skills and secret methods that we are accustomed to practicing in the rivers and lakes also have a bit of the style of the legendary immortal spells?" I smiled, "But it's a pity that the fake token turned into the wind and flew away on its own, not because of some immortal spell, but because of the material." β
Before the words fell, I took out another fake token and gently threw it to the third master.
"Oh, it's so light." Tong Sanye took the fake token, and his first reaction was light.
"Huh? Good ice! The third master of Tong grasped the fake token with both hands, and there was a second reaction.
"Ice?" Wan Wudi frowned slightly, and reached out a finger to quickly scrape on the fake token: "It's so cold, it should be made of ice." β
The third master couldn't stand the biting chill from his hands, and hurriedly put it on the token pile.
"Where did you get the ice?" The third master said strangely.
"Kitchen." I said.
"Ice in the kitchen?" The third master said unexpectedly.
"Of course there's ice, or how did you save the conch you had before?" I reminded.
"Although most of the ingredients prepared in the kitchen can be stored for a long time, there are still some ingredients, fruits and vegetables, and secret sauces that need to be refrigerated to keep fresh." "So, there's ice in the kitchen." β
"And it's not ice in any ordinary way." I said.
"What's not the law?" The third master asked.
"Our ice is not ordinary water condensation ice." I said, "It's the 'Ice of the Wind'!" β
