People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

Li Wenbin, who had already arranged Li Yuan's second half of life in his mind, smiled, but Changsun Wugou was terrified.

Zhang Sun Wu Gou knew how narrow-minded this person was...

It was Li Yuanji's turn to present the gift.

Li Yuanji first presented a large number of rare treasures, then pointed to the Taoist priest beside him and said: "This is the immortal I specially invited from Longhu Mountain. His Taoist name is Juejuezi."

The old Taoist priest behind him stood up and flicked his whisk: "Wulian Tianzun, I greet His Majesty the Emperor."

He looked arrogant, as if he didn't take these worldly people seriously at all, and he looked like a hermit who had transcended the world.

"I met Taoist Master Juejuezi by chance, but I have seen his abilities with my own eyes."

Li Yuan became interested when he heard what Li Yuanji said: "I wonder what Taoist Juejuezi is capable of."

"I dare not, I dare not. I only know some skills to exorcise demons and monsters."

Juejuezi ordered someone to bring a bowl of water and three wooden chopsticks, and started performing in public.

He first put three wooden chopsticks into clean water, then circled the bowl several times, muttering something.

"Taishang Laojun, hurry up and get up!"

It's strange to say, the three wooden chopsticks were originally tilted in the bowl, but after Juejuezi shouted, they suddenly stood upright.

Chapter 91 Betting

When everyone saw this scene, they were suddenly in an uproar, and even Li Shimin was shocked and confused.

The ancient people were so ignorant that they were stunned by this juggling trick. Li Wenbin pinched his chin and thought, if he brought in those juggling tricks from later generations, wouldn't they be scared to death?

At that time, it seemed quite interesting to perform a trick and let Ruyue collect money with a broken gong.

Thinking of Ruyue beating the gong and shouting "Those with money can support with money, and those without money can support with their presence", Li Wenbin couldn't help laughing out loud.

Taoist Priest Juejuezi was closing his eyes and enjoying the exclamations of the crowd. When he heard the sneer, he couldn't help but open his eyes and stared at Li Wenbin.

Li Yuanji also asked dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, why don't you take good care of him? Isn't he afraid of angering the old immortal?"

Seeing that Li Yuan also showed dissatisfaction, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Father, Wenbin is still young, please forgive him."

As he spoke, he winked at Li Wenbin.

Li Yuanji bowed and said, "Father, since he sneered at the performance of Taoist Juejuezi, he must have a more brilliant plan."

"I think we should ask him to show us his skills. What do you think, Father?"

"Father, this is absolutely impossible." Li Shimin was anxious and said quickly, "Wenbin..."

At this time, Li Wenbin gently pulled his sleeve and said loudly: "Father, it's okay. Let your son show you his skills."

"you……"

"Don't worry, my son never fights a battle he is not sure of."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!" Li Yuanji laughed loudly, "You kid, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! Taoist Master Juejuezi is a great master, and you actually said that you can also learn his magic. This is really hilarious!"

Li Wenbin glanced at him and said slowly, "Your Highness Prince Qi, how about making a bet? What if I can use Taoist Master Juejuezi's special move?"

"Haha, would I be afraid of a brat like you?" Li Yuanji had no idea that he was about to get into trouble. "You are the junior, so you decide."

Li Wenbin said word by word, "Well, if I win, then please ask Grandfather to transfer the title of 'King of Qi' to me. What do you think, Your Highness, do you dare?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Wenbin, don't be so rude." Li Shimin shouted.

Changsun Wugou could no longer care about anything else and hurried to pull Li Wenbin.

"Nonsense! Can you gamble on the title bestowed by the imperial court? Why don't you quickly apologize to the emperor and the King of Qi?"

Li Wenbin said indifferently: "Princess, I know His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi doesn't dare to gamble, so I was just joking. It's okay, it's okay, don't take it to heart."

Facts have proved that this method of provoking is very useful for Li Yuanji, a fool with great ambitions but little talent.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Wenbin with a gloomy face: "Who said that I don't dare to gamble? What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I'll give you my life as compensation!"

"And me!" Ruyue, who had just become the center of attention, stood beside Li Wenbin and said firmly.

Seeing him looking at her, Ruyue smiled and said, "Young Master, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to survive alone. Not only me, but Jinxiu would do the same."

And me!

Changsun Wugou almost shouted out.

Fortunately, she restrained herself at the last moment, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"Wenbin, don't take it lightly." Li Shimin became anxious.

If we really make a bet, no matter who wins or loses, it will end up being a farce.

As Li Wenbin's father, he must stand up and stop it.

Li Wenbin glanced at Li Shimin and said, "King Qin doesn't have to be like this. Is he concerned about His Royal Highness the King of Qi?"

I'm crazy...

I'm so afraid that you're going to die!

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Shimin was angered by Li Wenbin's cold eyes and snorted immediately.

"Humph, why would I care about the life or death of a rebellious son like you?"

Crown Prince Li Jiancheng also stepped out to act as a peacemaker at this time: "Fourth brother, you can't do this. Wenbin is your junior, you should be more considerate of him."

"Hmph, I won't treat this disrespectful kid as my junior." Li Yuanji snorted, obviously unwilling to listen to advice.

Li Jiancheng wanted to say something, but then he changed his mind and realized that no matter who won, the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuanji would only become worse, which would only benefit him.

Thinking of this, he sighed pretentiously and stopped talking.

"How about it, Your Highness, do you dare to bet?" Li Wenbin pretended to be fierce but weak and shouted, "If you are willing to admit defeat now, we can pretend that this incident never happened, how about it?"

"Hahaha, you admit defeat? Boy, wait for death!" Li Yuanji shouted to Li Yuan, "Father, please be my witness. If your son loses, you will transfer the title of King of Qi to him; but if he loses..."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment - mainly because he was worried that the matter would become too big and make the royal family a laughing stock.

But having said this, he couldn't say anything else and could only nod: "If that's the case, then I agree!"

Giving a reassuring look to the anxious Changsun Wugou, Li Wenbin asked Taoist Master Juejuezi, "Excuse me, Taoist Master, what magic spells do you know?"

"Hmph, the poor Taoist knows how to swim with paper turtles, cut demons with swords, etc."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenbin smiled and said, "In that case, I will also demonstrate how to slay a demon with a sword. However, I don't have any tools to slay demons. Taoist Juejuezi, please lend me your peach wood sword."

When Juejuezi heard this, he immediately hesitated.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin came to assist: "What's wrong, Taoist priest, can you kill demons and monsters just by relying on that wooden sword?"

Gritting his teeth, Juejuezi handed the peach wood sword to Li Wenbin and said, "Don't be so arrogant, you have violated the laws of the immortals and will shorten your life."

Li Wenbin sneered at his words and didn't take them seriously at all. He called Gao Qiu over and whispered a few words to him.

After a while, Gao Qiu brought a bowl of water and a piece of paper.

"Okay, everyone, watch out, I'm about to start."

Li Wenbin waved the peach wood sword and muttered something.

Li Wenbin's voice was too soft and his recitation was very unclear. Others could not hear what he was mumbling at all and thought he was reciting some very powerful spell.

In fact, he was memorizing pi...

After pretending for a few minutes, Li Wenbin suddenly shouted, "Monster, why don't you show yourself?"

As he said this, he held the bowl of water in his mouth and sprayed it towards the paper.

Chapter 92: I am ashamed to accept this

Strangely enough, there was nothing on the piece of paper originally, but when the water was sprayed on it, a monster's corpse suddenly appeared.

The monster was seen covered in blood and its limbs were torn into pieces.

"Look, everyone, this is the demon I killed."

The piece of paper with the "demon's corpse" on it was passed to the hands of everyone present, and everyone was amazed.

Although the ladies and young ladies present were afraid, they could not suppress their curiosity and rushed to pass it around to see it.

Changsun Wugou took the paper and looked at it over and over for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on. She wanted to call Li Wenbin to ask him, but now was not the time, so she had to suppress her curiosity.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, this is the demon that Wenbin killed. I wonder if it is the same demon that Taoist Juejuezi killed?"

While handing the "demon's corpse" to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin admired the wonderful expression on his face.

I secretly gave Li Wenbin a thumbs up: Son, well done!

Li Jiancheng checked for a long time but still couldn't figure out why this happened. However, it was absolutely true that he was embarrassed in front of Li Shimin, and he couldn't help but glare at Juejuezi angrily.

Li Yuanji was also afraid that Juejuezi would not be able to cure Li Wenbin, causing him to lose an adult, or even the title of king, so he hurriedly urged: “Master, quickly take out your unique skills, Paper Turtle Swimming.”

Jue Jue Zi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I will show you a unique skill."

Taking another bowl of water, Juejuezi took out a turtle cut out of paper from his sleeve, held it in his hand, muttered something for a long time, and then put it into the water.

Everyone saw that as soon as the paper turtle came into contact with water, it seemed to suddenly come to life, swimming around in the bowl very flexibly.

"It really is a magic trick that can make a paper turtle swim."

"How is this done? Is this a magical method?"

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Juejuezi finally regained a little pride and snorted at Li Wenbin.

Boy, I let you get away with it just now, but now you have no way out, right?

Li Wenbin walked forward and picked up the paper turtle in his hand: "Old man, you are asking for death, so don't blame me."

"Don't you want to know how this was done? It's very simple, Grandfather, but I don't have any male dog bile or... carp bile?"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Juejuezi's face turned pale.

"Well, what can we do? If we want to make this paper turtle swim, we need to smear the bile of a male dog and a carp on it. Oh, Taoist Juejuezi, you should have some, right?"

"You are talking nonsense. How could I have such a thing? You, you are clearly framing me."

"If it's a false accusation, you'll know if you search it."

Li Wenbin waved his hand, and Ruyue immediately rushed forward, knocked Juejuezi to the ground with a slap, and then searched out a pile of bottles and jars from his arms.

"Oh, there are quite a few things."

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Yes, that is carp bile."

Smear male dog bile and carp bile on paper and then put it into water. Just like the paper turtle just now, it will start swimming in the water.

"Everyone, take a look at this."

Li Wenbin picked up a wick and lit it. After a while, a smoke snake rose into the air and finally disappeared without a trace.

"Everyone, look carefully. This is a lamp wick dipped in snake blood and dried in the shade. This is the effect when it is lit."

Afterwards, Li Wenbin demonstrated to everyone tricks such as the gods capturing ghosts and the ghost fire hiding.

"Wow, this old Taoist has so many tricks. If it weren't for you, my dear nephew, even I, Old Cheng, would be intimidated."

"It would be fine if they took it to those ignorant and foolish women, but bringing it to this palace is really shameful."

Li Wenbin's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yuanji's heart again and again, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Come here, drive this evil Taoist priest out of here who is misleading people with his lies."

The only solution now is to cut off the source of the problem.

But before the Han generals could move, Li Wenbin shouted, "Wait a minute."

"Li Wenbin, what else do you want?"

"This evil Taoist is not only spreading lies to confuse the people, but is also cursing the fate of our Tang Dynasty."

This crime is a serious one, raising drug use to the level of drug trafficking, and the quantity involved is extremely huge.

"Your Majesty, does the law of this country clearly state that anyone who catches carp will be punished with sixty strokes of the cane?"
