Big courage! He is auspicious!

"Wow!"

The adults and children around exclaimed in unison.

In the middle of the crowd, the Indian Hu stuck out his tongue to show everyone that it was intact, and then he cut off half of the tongue and dropped it on the ground.

Immediately, his assistant picked up the tongue and brought it to the front of the crowd to show whether it was real or fake.

Xu Yanmiao and Lian Hangt arrived a little late and were not in the front row. They stood on tiptoe and looked inside.

"How is it, did you see it, is it real?"

"It looks like a real tongue - although I know that magic tricks are definitely fake, this thing is a trick, but when I really saw it, I still thought it was amazing!"

"Hiss - Xu Lang, did you see that, he put the tongue back into his mouth!"

"I saw it, I saw it! Amazing! It really looks like the tongue grew back by itself!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Reward!"

Xu Yanmiao quickly took out the money bag from his pocket, took out seven or eight copper coins and threw them forward - they couldn't be passed by hand.

In addition to him, other audiences also threw copper coins forward with thunderous applause.

The Indian Hu people knew a few words of Central Plains, so they thanked loudly, and did not rush to pick up the reward money, and quickly started the next magic trick.

...

Unconsciously, the two of them had been watching for a whole day. The money bag they brought out was also empty. "That severed tongue and then reattached is amazing.

I can't figure out how he did it no matter how hard I try." "It's really magical. And the fire that comes out of his mouth can even light paper on fire. He is really an extraordinary person." "And..." They walked and talked all the way until they reached the gate of the market where Xu Yanmiao lived. "I heard that the Indian Hu will leave tomorrow. I don't know when I can watch the magic show next time." There really weren't many entertainment activities in ancient times. Xu Yanmiao just sighed. He never expected that he would see the magic show again in the court the next day. The emperor sat on the golden platform and said with interest: "I met an immortal yesterday. He brought magical skills with him. Today, you all come to see him." Then a Taoist priest who looked like an immortal was led into the hall by the Jinyiwei. The other party bowed slightly and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty." Then he said: "Your Majesty, I went to the Yuqing Holy Land and the Shangqing True Land in my dream last night and met the two Tianzun Yuanshi and Lingbao. The two Tianzun said that Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor Tianzun. Knowing your Majesty's invitation, they gladly accepted the appointment. However, the Tianzun is invisible, voiceless, and bodyless. He can only communicate with the heavenly book, and he must be in the land of Shiqing, close to the yang and far from the yin, before he can descend to the human world." Where this "land of Shiqing, close to the yang and far from the yin" is, of course, is decided by the Taoist priest. When he said where it was, the old emperor immediately decided to go. He looked like a fool who believed it completely and was devoted to seeking the truth. ——But he was not like this two days ago! Moreover, if there is any fairy matter, can't he ask Xiao Bai Ze? Why do he have to find an outsider? Thinking of this, Lian Hang slightly widened his eyes and glanced at Xu Yanmiao. Xu Lang didn't notice and was still watching this with great interest. "..." Lian Hang shook his head helplessly, took a step forward, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please listen to me." His Majesty's voice came from the top, without joy or anger: "Speak." "Yesterday I watched a magic trick performed by a foreigner from India in the market. His tricks were truly mysterious. He could even make a severed tongue continue to grow again and make fire spit from the mouth. Isn't this something that can be performed by gods? However, the common people also know that he is an entertainer - the Taoist priest in front of Your Majesty..." Lian Hang said with a smile: "I wonder which 'zi' is used in his nickname? Is it 'cai li zi', or 'miao zi', 'jue zi', 'gun zi', or 'min qing zi'? " These are all words used in the magic business. For example, "cai li zi" is the general term for magic. If we further divide it into smaller categories, the one who transforms a fairy picking beans is called "miao zi", the one who transforms a large sea bowl is called "jue zi", "gun zi" is the one who swallows an iron ball, and "min qing zi" is the one who swallows a sword. Logically, when Lian Hang said this, the other party knew that he was an expert, so he should have changed color, if not panic. However, the Taoist priest shook off his dust and said calmly: "I am the poor Taoist Chang Qingzi." He then said: "As a minister, you should think about what your superiors don't think about and worry about what they don't worry about. This is what you should do, but it's a bit too hasty. I am only presenting the truth, and I hope you will make a judgment after reading it." Then, the Taoist priest took everyone to the sunny side of a mountain, where two small altars had been buried in advance, each containing a cloth man. When "Yuanshi Tianzun" was called respectfully, the cloth man on the left moved, and when "Lingbao Tianzun" was called respectfully, the cloth man on the right moved, as if there was really a spirit responding inside. Many ministers frowned as they watched this scene. They were sure that this was a trick, but they alone would not work. They had to find the flaws before His Majesty would believe it. By the way, why did His Majesty suddenly believe in immortality? Could it be that he was old and wanted to live forever like many emperors? "Your Majesty." The Taoist turned around and saluted: "Are you wrong?" He smiled confidently: "The Heavenly Lord has come. Your Majesty can ask any questions or requests. This is the method of longevity..." All officials were horrified. Prime Minister Dou's heart and lungs were broken at that time, and he rushed out half a step: "Your Majesty——" This thing can't be believed! [Ah... Should I remind this Taoist priest that the emperor he is facing will not be fooled by this. 】 Prime Minister Dou leaned forward and was about to stagger out, but the Minister of Personnel grabbed his arm and pulled him back. He then cast a grateful look at the Minister of Personnel. He almost jumped out to give advice! Elsewhere, the old emperor heard this and his expression suddenly became strange. He never thought that among all the civil and military officials in the court, the one who understood him the best was actually Xiao... 【I have been a farmer, a slave, a beggar, and even begged for food among refugees. Of course, I have also played magic tricks. These are all left over from my tricks. 】 【Do you know what it means to swallow a knife? A knife more than one foot long, just put it in your throat and swallow it! The eldest princess and the prince used to be the atmosphere group... uh, responsible for clapping, and picking up the copper coins thrown by others! 】

"..."

The old emperor had a blank expression.

Some words don't need to be extended so much.

All officials: Oh!

I almost forgot that your majesty has rich experience in folk affairs. How could he be fooled by such a trick! They really care too much.

[In addition to swallowing the knife, there is also...]

The old emperor looked at the Taoist priest and said lightly: "I have no obsession with longevity. What's the fun of being old but not dead? When it's time to go, I don't want to force you to stay."

Xu Yanmiao's attention was immediately diverted: [The old emperor is quite open-minded.]

All officials felt a little regretful.

Being interrupted by your majesty deliberately, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come up with the following "there is also".

The Taoist priest smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's mind has already attained the Tao."

He then presented the Heavenly Book and said: "Yesterday, I asked Your Majesty to tell me in advance the hundreds of questions you wanted to ask the Heavenly Venerable. Now they are made into a volume of Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Venerable intends for Your Majesty to feel the grace of God, so Your Majesty can just recite a question at will, and you don't have to tell me. I can also guess what your Majesty is thinking with the art of telepathy."

The old emperor was interested: "Really?"

[How boring! Isn't this just a copy of 'I can guess your last name without you telling me'? It often appears on roadside stalls, and I don't even want to play it. ]

The old emperor, who was a little interested and wanted to tease this "Taoist priest", said: "..."

I don't know why, but after hearing what Xu Yanmiao said, I felt that if I was interested in this, it would be very embarrassing.

"Well. No need to guess, just ask the Heavenly Lord directly, what is the fate of my dynasty?"

The cold attitude made the Taoist priest murmur in his heart.

...Emperor, you were not like this yesterday.

But he could not think of a reason why the emperor was pretending to be with him, so he attributed it to the emperor wanting to see something more magical, and was not interested in the movement of villains and the art of telepathy.

The Taoist priest bowed again and asked someone to bring a brush and a tea bowl. The Jinyi Guards put cold water in the bowl in advance. Then he began to step on the Yu step while holding the tea bowl, muttering: "Please Yuanshi Tianzun..."

The small cloth man representing Yuanshi Tianzun began to jump.

After reciting a message, his eyes glared, as if he was glaring with anger, he dipped his pen into cool water, took out a blank talisman paper and wrote on it. His eyes were empty and his arms were stiff, as if he was possessed by an invisible object. Like a puppet being manipulated, he slowly wrote on the paper, and the characters were red, as if the brush was not dipped in cool water, but in cinnabar.

——Daxia National Destiny, 44 Years.

[Fuck!]

Xu Yanmiao was shocked: [You Taoist priest really dare to say that, isn't this a curse for the second emperor to die in the dynasty founded by the old emperor?]

It is now the 34th year of Tiantong!

The Taoist's body shook from his neck to his feet, like waves. After shaking, he shook again, as if he was slowly coming back to his senses. Seeing the traces of writing on the paper, his expression was both surprised and solemn: "Your Majesty, this is a warning from the Heavenly Lord. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. No matter what, it should not be only forty-four years. I'm afraid... there is a monster in the country!"

Many ministers were shocked and speechless.

Isn't it good to live a good life? You have to stroke the tiger's whiskers. Do you think your Majesty believes in this?

The old emperor glanced at the Taoist, called the Jinyiwei and whispered something to him. The Jinyiwei retreated, and soon came back with a man.

A ball of thread with mud stuck on it was also thrown to the ground.

The emperor sneered: "Yuanshi Tianzun? Lingbao Tianzun? Why do you need to dig deep trenches in the ground, put ropes in the trenches, and use the ropes to pull the two Tianzun to jump?"

The Taoist's forehead was slightly sweaty.

The emperor sneered again: "This is the officialdom. You didn't ask before you come to show off your skills. The prime minister used to sell plasters on the street. The six ministers, there are people who perform martial arts, some calculate the Zhouyi hexagrams, some chant bamboo board books, some are clerks, some sell mules, and some guard the gates of casinos - who doesn't know those market tricks. What's more, you play those, they are all left over from when I was begging for food in the past."

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

The Taoist was silent for a moment, sighed: "Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience for being poor."

The old emperor was speechless.

I don't care whether you have a guilty conscience or not.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he waved his hand and the Jinyiwei was about to drag the man away.

At this moment, the familiar sound of soft-soled satin boots rubbing against mottled stone square bricks came, with a hurried tone.

Another team of Jinyiwei hurried in, and from the solemn expressions on their faces, a group of ministers suddenly realized the dangerous atmosphere.

The old emperor glanced in the direction of Xu Yanmiao and directly stopped the Jinyiwei from reporting privately, saying: "Just tell me what it is."

"Your Majesty! A female chicken suddenly turned into a male in the market, and there was also a strange sight of a blue rainbow falling from the sky. People are talking about it, saying..."

The court was suddenly shocked.

Everything else might be a magic trick, but a female chicken turning into a male is simply beyond human power!

Throughout the dynasties, there have only been three cases of a female chicken turning into a male. Each time it happened, it caused turmoil in the court and the country, and countless people took advantage of it to eliminate dissidents. In the most serious case, the emperor directly killed his two adult sons.

Prime Minister Dou asked anxiously: "What did the people say? Tell us quickly!"

Jinyiwei swallowed his saliva and said: "A demon has been born, and the demon is in the court!"

The Taoist's eyes suddenly shot to Jinyiwei, then retracted them and looked at the old emperor with a sad tone: "Your Majesty, is this possible to prove that what I said is true? There is a demon in the court, Your Majesty!"

"You old thing, you know shit!"

The emperor stood up angrily and shouted: "What demon! He has a pure heart and a good nature, which is clearly a good omen!"

Taoist: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty cannot accept that the prince is a demon..."

The old emperor was stunned: "Prince?"
