Chapter 500: The Taoist Tricks

But what was beyond the Taoist Qingzhen's expectations was that no matter how much he said, Emperor Mu Wu's expression remained indifferent.

What the Taoist Qingzhen didn't know was that while he was bragging about himself, all that echoed in Emperor Mu Wu's mind were the words that Ning Zhiyi said.

For example, those who choose to take elixirs are the purest and most pure fools in the entire Dali Dynasty!

For example, elixirs are all made of cinnabar, and eating elixirs is like eating poison!

For example, if you don’t take the elixir, you can live to ninety-nine years old, but once you take the elixir, you may die in your dream at any time!

These words kept echoing in Emperor Mu Wu's mind like a tight hoop. It would be strange if he could react to the words of the Taoist Qingzhen!

Ning Sheng'an cleared his cough and winked at Emperor Mu Wu while drinking tea.

What's going on? I remember that the emperor's acting skills were pretty good when he was young, but why doesn't he even act today?

Didn't we agree to lure the snake out of its hole? Since this person was introduced by the King of Zhenbei, he must be the King of Zhenbei's man.

Follow this line downwards, and you may not fail to lure out a big snake!

After receiving the secret signal, Emperor Mu Wu's expression changed, from coldness at first, to a little interest, and finally to involvement.

Little did he know that it was precisely this kind of performance that made the Taoist Qingzhen think that he had left a deep impression in Emperor Mu Wu's mind.

Even the Prince of Zhenbei thought so. Emperor Mu Wu was the emperor after all, and he had seen all kinds of people and things, not to mention that there was a Taoist priest in the palace.

It is impossible to believe in the one-sided words of a Muslim Taoist priest.

If Emperor Mu Wu showed his complete belief from the beginning, Prince Zhenbei would still have some doubts in his heart.

And now, after so many layers of emotions, he feels that this is the most real reaction of a person.

Emperor Mu Wu sighed, what is going on?

He is the emperor, he is the emperor of the Dali Dynasty, but he still has to put on a show with his subordinates. Who can he go to for justice?

I feel so stuffy in my chest and always want to vent!

Ning Zhiyi's heart was about to jump into his throat. He wanted to rush forward and shake Emperor Mu Wu's body vigorously, and yell in his ear:

Your Majesty, please wake up. What's that expression on your face? You won't easily believe the lies of this fake Taoist priest!

Ning Zhiyi was so anxious that he couldn't sit still. Prince An had been thinking about his reading glasses and was already looking forward to seeing himself wearing them.

He glanced around and noticed Ning Zhiyi's abnormality. He knew that the little girl had always been against the pursuit of immortality and taking longevity elixirs.

Prince An was the first to question:

"You, an old Taoist, are talking nonsense, but can anyone prove it for you? If you can't prove it, then you are guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

Ning Zhiyi immediately followed Prince An's words and said:

"Yes, the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by beheading!"

The Taoist priest Qingzhen swallowed his saliva, knowing that the crime of deceiving the emperor was a serious crime punishable by beheading, but he had no choice but to refuse to admit it!

Anyway, he still had many tricks that had never been exposed, so he said:

"Your Majesty, please judge, my words are all true. If you do not believe me, I am willing to demonstrate it to you on the spot!"

When Emperor Mu Wu saw Ning Zhiyi speaking, he knew that there would be some interesting things to watch next.

The depressed mood relaxed a lot, and he smiled softly:

"You have the heart, so show it."

The Taoist priest Qingzhen relaxed a little. Fortunately, he was cautious enough and always took all his stuff with him every time he went out.

The Taoist priest bowed respectfully and went downstairs to prepare things.

After about an incense stick of time, Qing Zhendao came up with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I will demonstrate three magical powers today. Your Majesty and all the nobles, please watch!"

As the Taoist priest Qingzhen finished speaking, several eunuchs brought in a large pot with a blazing fire underneath.

The liquid in the pot was bubbling and boiling.

"There is boiling oil in the pot. I will put my hand directly into the boiling oil later. But Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already mastered the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt. This little oil can't hurt me."

As he spoke, Taoist Qingzhen looked around, first in the direction of Ning Zhiyi's female relatives, then in the direction of the male relatives, and raised his voice and said:

"If you have any questions, you can come up to the stage and test it. If you want to master this skill, you can also learn from the channel. I believe that as long as you practice for a few decades, you will be able to achieve no harm at all."

When we heard that it would take decades of practice to achieve complete safety, everyone was not stupid, so naturally no one wanted to do it.

No one is willing to verify the authenticity of the oil. Whether from the appearance or the gurgling condition, it looks like real oil without a doubt.

Many young gentlemen could not help but cast admiring glances at the Taoist Qingzhen. The Taoist Qingzhen enjoyed this feeling very much and his gaze could not help but linger on the male companions for some time.

Just as he turned his back to the women and enjoyed the admiring gazes of everyone, Ning Zhiyi stood up and walked towards the boiling oil wok.
