Chapter Twenty-Nine: That's a Frying Pot
Ji Xia retrieved the two things and sat quietly in the room alone to tinker.
She brought the flask close to her nose and sniffed it. It was a different wine from her usual wine, with an aroma of herbs, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Ming'er went to the major restaurants in the capital to ask, maybe there will be some eyebrows.
She lit the scented candle again.
Suddenly, the room was filled with aroma.
She gradually felt hot all over her body, and her body just felt uncomfortable in this way......
At this moment, Gao Han's voice came from outside the door.
"Ji Xia, today's incident is that I was reckless, don't take it to heart."
Gao Han was walking in the courtyard without sleeping, and when he saw the candle light in Ji Xia's room, he came over to apologize.
Ji Xia did not answer.
Gao Han thought that Ji Xia was angry with him, so he had to return in a huff.
What he didn't know was that Ji Xia couldn't open the door and "swallow" Gao Han at this time! She didn't dare to respond to him. She didn't even dare to hear his deep voice. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself!
She quickly extinguished the incense, ran to the courtyard to catch a basin of water, and submerged her entire face in the water.
The heat on the body slowly subsided.
Could it be that this aromatherapy has an aphrodisiac effect?
There may be a hidden truth in this case......
Early in the morning, Ji Xia took this wine with him, and asked one restaurant after another, but still no one knew what the name of this wine was, let alone where it was bought.
At this moment, a shout came into Ji Xia's eardrums.
"Come and take a look, take a look, this is the latest Hehuan wine developed by this Dao, which is added with 7749 kinds of herbs, and it is finally brewed by 9981 days of this Dao's whole body power. No matter how old a man is, just take a sip and he can regain his strength! ”
"Acacia wine?" Ji Xia hurriedly ran out to take a look, and it was none other than the god-breaking stick who claimed to be the "Xuanjing Dao Chief"!
"God stick, you're out to deceive people again!"
Before the god could refute it, the people around him couldn't help but speak up to defend the "god" in their hearts.
"Where did the wild girl come from, she dared to slander our Xuanjing Dao Master!"
"Little girl, the Xuanjing Daoist has real skills!"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the Xuanjing Dao Master casts a spell on you and makes you ......"
……
Daoist Xuanjing stroked his beard, with a smug look on his face, he was very satisfied with the spontaneous "righteous speech" of these believers.
Ji Xia saw that so many people had been deceived by this fake Taoist priest, and he couldn't help it, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot, so he had to find him unhappy.
"The little woman is not talented, I want to see the ability of this Xuanjing Daoist!"
"Joke! How can my magic skills be easily displayed in front of outsiders! ”
"That's it!"
"Xuanjing Dao has a long hair work, and the mana will be consumed."
……
The surrounding people echoed the words.
"Don't you dare?"
"Poor Dao has only recently made this 'divine wine', and it has a lot of luck, and the loss is too great."
Xuanjing Daoist thought to himself, this stinky girl, she has found fault several times, and she doesn't know what her intentions are. However, now that she actually said that she wants to see her own ability, then let her have a long insight, maybe there will be one more believer! This stinky girl, although she has a stubborn temper, has a good figure......
His eyes looked Ji Xia up and down, and he had a plan, revealing a lewd smile, "That's it, Poor Dao sees that you have very wise roots, if Poor Dao can convince you, you will kowtow to Poor Dao and recognize Poor Dao as a master!" ”
"Oh my God, Daoist Xuanjing actually wants to accept her as an apprentice!"
"What a gift."
"This little girl is too blessed!"
"I'm so envious!"
……
When the surrounding people heard that Daoist Xuanjing wanted to take Ji Xia as an apprentice, their eyes couldn't help but shine, and their faces showed envy.
Ji Xia glanced at him with disgust, sneered and said, "No problem." ”
I saw that the Xuanjing Dao Leader whispered a few words to the Dao boy next to him, and the Dao Tong left in a hurry to prepare.
After a while, Xiao Daotong brought a boiling oil pot. The oil in the pan was boiling with a puff.
"Little girl, look at it!" As he spoke, Daoist Xuanjing chanted the incantation while stretching his hand into the boiling oil pot with a calm expression.
The people around couldn't help but be amazed.
"Oh my God, this is the 'magic skill'!"
"The Xuanjing Dao Master actually has the body of 'King Kong is not bad'!"
"I can see it with my own eyes, it's really a blessing for three lives!"
……
"Xuanjing Dao is long and the gods descend to earth! Xuanjing Dao is a long heavenly god descending to earth! I don't know who started it, and all the people present began to respond. Cheers came and went.
In the praise of the people, the head of Xuanjing Dao withdrew his hand, held the shelf, and looked at Ji Xia proudly from the side.
Ji Xia didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves with a smile, and calmly put his hand into the boiling oil pot......
The people around were stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe their eyes.
How dare she! That's a frying pan, a boiling frying pan! Could it be that she also has "miraculous skills"?
Ji Xia pulled his hand out of the oil pot, and while carefully wiping his plain hand with a handkerchief, he looked at the Xuanjing Daoist rather mockingly, and said, "Xuanjing Daoist, but that's it?" ”
You know, this is the "divine skill" that Xuanjing Daoist is most proud of, he relied on a "divine skill" to show his boundless power, and called on believers to work for him in the capital, and those believers even gave his daughter to him to "enjoy"!
This is the fundamental means for him to settle down and make a fortune. At this moment, she was easily "cracked" by this little girl? How could he be willing.
He clapped his hands awkwardly, and praised Ji Xia with great reluctance: "I didn't expect that this girl is actually a fellow practitioner!" I'm glad I will. ”
As long as she doesn't expose it, he can continue to be his "Xuanjing Dao Leader"!
Unexpectedly, Ji Xia ignored everyone's horror, grabbed the hand of a common man beside him and stretched it into the oil pot...... That person didn't expect Ji Xia to make such a sudden move, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Huh? The hands were not burned, the hands, intact!
In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Ji Xia made a scientific answer: "In fact, there is not only oil in the pot, but also a lot of vinegar. It's just that the oil layer will float on top of the vinegar, creating the illusion that there is only oil in the pan. When the vinegar was heated, he quietly added alum, giving everyone the illusion that the oil pot was boiling. In fact, at this time, only the vinegar is boiling, and the temperature of the oil pan is not high. ”
Ji Xia mercilessly exposed the deception of this so-called "Xuanjing Dao Chief" in front of the people around him.
The people who had been deceived for a long time were going to beat him when they picked up the tools they had nearby.
They have been deceived for too long. They believed in his "miraculous skills", worshiped his "magic power", admired him, respected him, and were willing to give him their money, even their daughters. But he, who deceived everyone, is an out-and-out scum!
Seeing this, the Xuanjing Dao Leader immediately fled.
At this time, how can he still be as arrogant and high-spirited as before? I didn't take any "magic weapon", but I held the bottle of "Hehuan wine" tightly in my arms.
Ji Xia felt suspicious, hurriedly pushed away the crowd, and chased after him.
"You wait!"
When Daoist Xuanjing heard Ji Xia's voice, he dared to stop, and he didn't turn his head back and ran forward.
"I buy acacia wine! I buy acacia wine! Ji Xia shouted urgently from behind.
This fake Taoist priest and true god stick are so precious to this bottle of wine, I am afraid that there is really something magical.
As soon as Daoist Xuanjing heard Ji Xia say that he wanted to buy wine, he quickly stopped, suddenly changed his face, and walked towards her flatteringly.
"Little girl, you really have a vision, this wine is a good thing!"
Ji Xia glanced at him with disgust and said, "God stick, let me ask you, is this wine really as amazing as you say?" ”
"Ben Dao swears, cough, no, I swear, as long as you take a sip, I guarantee that you want to die!" An ambiguous smile appeared on Daoist Xuanjing's face.
"Okay, answer me a few questions first, and I'll buy your wine!"
"Okay."
Ji Xia saw that Daoist Xuanjing agreed, so he took out the wine bottle in his arms and handed it over, "Let's see first, is this wine your 'Hehuan wine'?" ”
Daoist Xuanjing took the wine bottle, opened the stopper, approached his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said, "That's right, this is my 'Hehuan Wine'." ”
"And where did you get this wine?"
"That's naturally brewed in this way." Xuanjing Dao Chang stroked his beard and said proudly.
This Xuanjing Dao Master really wants to "show off" all the time, but he doesn't want to think about who is standing in front of him?
It's Ji Xia, Ji Xia who just exposed his scam!
"Huh?" Ji Xia couldn't help but glance at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he couldn't help but smile: "Will you brew this?" ”
The Xuanjing Dao Elder was like waking up from a dream, and he embarrassedly squeezed a smile out of his mouth, and said, "Oh no, no, it was sold to me by a merchant from Persia a few days ago, a total of two bottles. He told me that this wine can boost the spirit of men, has the effect of relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood, but it is a treasure! ”
Daoist Xuanjing thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "There are only two bottles of this wine, where did you get the bottle in your hand?" ”
"You don't care about this, you answer me first, except for the bottle in your hand, where did the other bottle go?"
"Another bottle, I sold it to Master Guan's concubine, my former beloved apprentice, Yang Liu. Hey, I didn't want to sell it to her, but I can't resist the temptation of beauty......"
"Why would she buy this?" Ji Xia didn't want to listen to his chatter, so he interrupted Xuanjing Daoist with his words.
"What so many why! How do I know this, Zuo is just that the old man Guan is old and can't satisfy that little girl! ”
Could it be for this reason?
Ji Xia recalled the girl's eyes at the banquet, which were mixed with many complex emotions such as joy, grievance, and helplessness, but there was no trace of "style".
What kind of person is she, and what role did she play in the death of Master Guan?
