Chapter 581: How the High Priest Made It
Liang Xiao was speechless, now that he has reached this point, even if he is really shipwrecked and missing, he is also said to be engaged in conspiracy, there is really no one.
Liang Xiao scratched his head and continued to tease Xi Yunxi.
"Since your father has married you to Prince Nanliang, can we still get along?"
Xi Yunxi immediately said with a crooked face.
"Of course you can, because Prince Nanliang is missing after all, whether it's true or not, there is no news at all now, even if there is news, think about it.
How could he marry me as a concubine for a dignified prince of Nanliang, I have heard that the beauties around Prince Nanliang are like clouds, and the women he can see are very capable.
It's not a queen or a princess, and I'm nothing, I'm just a princess of a big liar. ”
"You say that about your father, aren't you afraid to spread it?"
Xi Yunxi sneered and laughed again.
"I'm the only one who dares to say that, if you go out and talk about it, your head will be cut off immediately."
Liang Xiao thought about it and thought about it, so Xi Yunxi dared to say this unscrupulously that his father was a big liar.
But the big liar of that era was difficult to be exposed, after all, people were very ignorant and technology was not developed, so Xi Yunxi's father was also a genius.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside, Liang Xiao looked outside, and a middle-aged man walked over this way.
Xi Yunxi also saw it, and immediately enjoyed saying to Liang Xiaodao.
"Hide, my dad is coming."
After taking a look at the house, Liang Xiaoyao slipped into Xi Yunxi's kitchen, and the wardrobe was full of Xi Yunxi's clothes.
It smells so good inside that it's a pleasure to hide inside, and you can see the outside through the gaps in the closet.
Liang Xiao finally saw the high priest, and the chief priest was also dignified, especially his face, which looked very majestic.
He was followed by several servants, all dressed in clergy clothes, and then carried a set of things in and placed them in Xi Yunxi's small living room.
Then a few servants retreated, Xi Yunxi's little face was flushed, and his nervous panting was a little rough, but he also tried his best to hide it, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at his father.
And his father didn't think much about it, he probably had a lot of things to do, and he came in a hurry.
After entering the door, after chatting a few casual words with Xi Yunxi, he said to Xi Yunxi.
"Today, Dad taught you a hand, and you can fish in the oil."
Liang Xiao saw that this was Xi Yunxi's father who regularly came to teach Xi Yunxi some tricks, which could only be said to be tricks, because he was not a spell.
After all, the high priest relied on these magical things to deceive everyone and make people believe that he had the power of God.
Xi Yunxi's father made the fire hot, then poured oil into the pot, and when the oil was boiling, he took out a golden statue and threw it into the oil pot.
Then he said something in his mouth, and suddenly put his hand into the oil pot that turned over the flowers.
scared Xi Yunxi into a scream.
"Oh, don't!"
Then the high priest paused for a few seconds in the pan and withdrew his hand from the pan, and saw that his arm was still steaming, but his hand was not hurt at all.
He wiped his arm with a towel and showed it to Xi Yunxi.
Then said to Xi Yunxi.
"Put your hand in and fish this idol out."
After finishing speaking, he threw the idol into the boiling oil pot again, Xi Yunxi was frightened at the time, and his little face turned white with fright, and his eyes widened.
He didn't dare to put his hand into the oil pot with the flowers, he was scared to death when he looked at it.
The high priest was encouraging.
"Don't worry, daughter, it's okay, you just boldly put your hand in, I promise you won't burn, and then I'll tell you what's going on."
Xi Yunxi said that he didn't dare to put his hand into the tumbling oil pot.
The high priest saw that Xi Yunxi didn't have the guts, so he suddenly grabbed Xi Yunxi's hand and directly pressed Xi Yunxi's hand into the oil pot.
Xi Yunxi screamed in fright, and after screaming a few times, he was stunned, because he felt that the oil pot was like warm water, and it didn't hurt people at all.
Don't look at the surface as if it was boiling a pot, but the temperature inside is like warm water to wash your face.
No matter how long he put his arm there, it wouldn't burn, Xi Yunxi was stunned for a while, and then at the urging of his father, he grabbed the statue at the bottom of the pot, and then took out his hand.
The High Priest said proudly.
"Well, I'll just say that we are all gods, even hot oil can't hurt us, and if you still don't believe it, after a while you will have to go out and perform this miracle in front of everyone."
Xi Yunxi was also confused, he couldn't believe that he touched the tumbling oil with his fingers again, and still felt that his hands were not hot, and at the same time he smelled a very sour smell, which was the smell of vinegar.
Liang Xiao also smelled the smell of vinegar all over the house, and Liang Xiao naturally understood in his heart what was going on.
Then the high priest began to mysteriously explain to Xi Yunxi how to do this, he once again poured the oil in the oil pan aside, and then added vinegar to the oil pan again.
After adding vinegar, oil was poured on top of the vinegar, which looked like an oil pot, in fact, this trick was for Liang Xiao, a three-year-old child in his previous life would do.
But in that ancient era, it was possible to deceive people into believing that it was a miracle that only God could do.
After the high priest triumphantly taught Xi Yunxi this trick, he left with the two servants.
Xi Yunxi let out a sigh of relief. looked at his white little hands, looked at the oil pot left by his father, shook his head with a smile, and did it for a long time, but it was still a deceptive trick.
Liang Xiao saw that his father had walked away, and there was no movement outside, so he got out of the closet, Xi Yunxi looked at Liang Xiao and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"What's the matter, you can see it now, but my dad is not very smart, he can't do these things that no one else can do, it's just that my dad didn't use these cleverness in the right place, but used it to deceive people, if only he could invent something useful like Prince Nanliang."
Liang Xiao said.
"What kind of miracle is this trick, I'll give you a real miracle, you promise you can't crack it, you wait a minute, I'll show you it right away."
Liang Xiao asked Xi Yunxi to find him a needle and a cotton thread, and then, Liang Xiao asked Xi Yunxi to dodge, and he operated next to the pot.
First, I made a bowl of saturated brine, threaded cotton thread through a needle, soaked it in brine, and then took it out and dried it next to a hot fire, then soaked it in brine, and then dried it.
