"Is it that amazing? Let's get two of them and try it and you will know!"
After hearing Li Tai's words, Mu Jiao's eyes lit up in the Tianzihao guest room, and he was a little eager to try it. He thought to himself that this thing was free anyway, so he would not lose anything if he got two sticks and tried them.
Scorpio is not like Mu Jiao, who has "well-developed limbs and a simple mind." Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Tai deeply, and then asked seemingly casually: "Is it possible that the King of Wei and this distressed monk know each other~?"
He couldn't help but be suspicious and vigilant. In fact, today's sermon meeting was a bit too sudden and too abnormal. Although it was calm at the moment, neither the monks who gave the sermon nor the people who listened to the Dharma meeting paid attention to the inn. What to do, but Scorpio always feels that this is the calm before the storm!
Li Tai suddenly asked for the rejuvenating incense distributed to the people during the disaster, which made Scorpio feel wary. He had some doubts about whether Li Tai had anything to do with the disaster.
But this is just a subconscious guess on his part, without any actual evidence to support it (after all, Li Tai has never left their surveillance range since he entered Tongfu Inn. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that Li Tai had contact with Du Nan in advance. ), so he could only test Li Tai through this seemingly casual chat at the moment.
Li Tai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but after staying in the "den of thieves" for a long time, the little fat man gradually developed a "big heart", so although he was a little panicked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He replied with a nonchalant face:
"Ha~! I would like to get to know this master of disaster relief from Tianzhu Tantric Sect. With his ability to bring dead things back to life, wouldn't this be like giving me an extra life?"
Scorpio frowned for a moment and said with some disdain: "This drama about the resurrection of a dead fish can only deceive the stupid people. As a prince, does King Wei also believe this?"
"Tch! What do you know?"
The little fat man showed just the right amount of contempt on his face, and then he seemed not to notice the suppressed anger on Scorpio's face, and said to himself:
"Master Duannan comes from Tianzhu Tantric Sect. The origin of Buddhism is in Tianzhu. It is also said that Tianzhu Tantric Sect is extremely mysterious. There are many eminent monks who are not only profound in martial arts but also good at health preservation. There is a Buddhist saint in Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu , whose dharma name is Dragon Wisdom Bodhisattva, namely Venerable Bodhisattva Bodhidharma. It is said that this Dragon Wisdom Bodhisattva has lived for more than 800 years and is still in good health.
I didn’t believe it before, but today after seeing the master’s reanimation of dead fish, I believe it a little bit! Perhaps Tianzhu Tantric Buddhism really has some mysterious methods that can increase a person's vitality, prolong life, and even make people... become immortal! "
At the end, Li Tai's face was full of deep yearning, and even a hint of madness. It was the persistence and yearning for immortality. Scorpio can understand this, because since ancient times, people who are rich and powerful have Especially the royal people, no one can resist the temptation of immortality!
Although Scorpio himself sneered at immortality, Li Tai's explanation was reasonable and temporarily dispelled the doubt in his mind. However, he still did not intend to agree to Li Tai's request. He said with a cold face:
"King Wei wants to live forever, we can't control this! But King Wei, don't forget your current situation. Our mission is to bring you back to the grassland. As for the rejuvenating incense, we won't help you get it!"
Although Li Tai's words completely eliminated his own suspicion, Scorpio did not want to cause trouble. He did not want to take risks, and he felt that there was no need to take risks in the current situation. They only needed to guard Li Tai's "life-saving card". Just wait patiently for the grassland reinforcements to arrive at Taiyuan City. They can't take care of other things and don't have the energy to take care of them!
For them at this time, the more they do, the greater the chance of making mistakes!
Mu Jiao opened his mouth at this time and said with regret on his face: "Uh, brother..."
He really wanted to get two sticks of Huanshengxiang to play with, not because he was greedy for the so-called "immortality", but because he wanted to test the efficacy of Huanshengxiang and then slap Li Tai in the face!
When he performed the trick of resurrecting dead fish before, he swore to Li Tai that he must have tried to deceive people out of money through the trick, but the end result was that his face was swollen!
He doesn't think as much as Scorpio. He just wants to prove that he is right, or save a little face, otherwise wouldn't he be very embarrassed in front of Li Tai in the future~?
"Shut up!"
Before Mu Jiao finished speaking, he was interrupted sternly by Scorpio. Then, Scorpio glanced at Li Tai and said, "King Wei, take a rest for a while, and then come down and prepare for dinner!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the room.
"stop!"
At this moment, Li Tai spoke. His voice was less childish than before, but more majestic. Scorpio couldn't help but stamp his feet and turned around to see Li Tai looking at him steadily, then with a serious look on his face. road:
"You remind me of the current situation, hum! Do you think that I am your prisoner now and you can do whatever you want with me?"
Scorpio looked at him with an unmoved expression, but his meaning was very clear. He was clearly telling Li Tai, "Isn't it like this?"
"Ha~!"
Li Tai sneered and said: "I was the King of Wei in the Tang Dynasty. Even if I were captured by you and brought back to the grassland, my status would be beyond the reach of you, not even your guardian! If this king is right as expected, Your family members should all be in the hands of the Turks, right? If this king comes to the grassland and asks Jieli to kill all your family members, do you think Jieli will agree?"
Scorpio's eyes turned cold, his sharp gaze pierced Li Tai's face, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "How dare you!!!"
At the same time, he clenched his fists tightly and his veins popped out, as if he wanted to kill Li Tai under his palms.
As the third leader of the wolf guards at Tongfu Inn, Scorpio certainly knew the inside story of this Taiyuan mission. They arrested Li Tai not only to prevent Yanhuang Academy from establishing a telegraph relay station in Taiyuan, but more importantly, they were entrusted with the task of Jie Li. He is destined to capture Li Tai and the elites of Yanhuang Academy back to the grassland and use them for the royal court!
Therefore, Scorpio knows that what Li Tai just said is not wrong at all. Even if Li Tai is captured back to the grassland, Li Tai's status in the grassland is not comparable to that of them. If Li Tai really asks Jieli to send their family to Kill them all, I believe Xie Li won't even frown. After all, in Xie Li's kingly hegemony, Li Tai's value is undoubtedly greater!
Mu Jiao, who was on the side, was looking at Li Tai with an angry look on his face, and he was breathing heavily. He was obviously angry.
However, Li Tai was not afraid at all, because in terms of aura, Xuan Ye's aura was much stronger than that of Scorpio and Mujiao. He was able to "speak nonsense" in front of Scorpio, how could he be afraid of these two brothers now? Not to mention that he has guessed that this Dharma gathering and Huanshengxiang are probably the only chance of life that Li Junxian and Tiedan can create for themselves. He must seize this glimmer of hope no matter what!
Therefore, facing the two men's eager gazes, Li Tai raised his chin slightly, just like he was not afraid of Xuan Ye's master's power at that time. He arrogantly confronted Scorpio and said: "Hmph! Don't you dare to say that? Yes, I did it, and you will naturally know it when I go to the grassland!"
The underlying meaning of these words is that he is eager to go to the grassland?
Scorpio said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to reach the grassland alive~?"
Scorpio became murderous because Li Tai touched his reverse scale!
"Tsk~!"
Li Tai felt trembling in his heart, but showed no fear on his face. He even sneered and said, "If I cannot return to the grassland alive, your mission will be considered a failure, and you and your family members will probably be executed by Jieli! As a result! There’s no difference!”
Scorpio's face suddenly turned ugly, because Li Tai was right. If these people failed to complete their mission, their lives would probably be in danger after they returned to the grassland. After they died, their families would lose their protection. , Even if you don't die on the grassland, it will be difficult to survive!
This is a dilemma. If you kill Li Tai, you will die after returning to the grassland. If you don't kill Li Tai and take Li Tai back to the grassland, Li Tai may take revenge on their family!
Seeing Scorpio's uncertain expression, Li Tai continued: "Your other two leaders, Xuan Ye and Scorpio, are much smarter than you! When they were here before, they not only provided me with delicious food and drinks, but also Moreover, they have never let anyone tie my hands and feet. As long as my requests are not too excessive, neither of them will refuse. Why do you think this is?"
After this blow, two scares, and three threats, Li Tai has gradually taken the initiative. The little fat man's aura has also changed a bit at this moment, becoming noble, majestic, and arrogant. This is definitely the "true character" of the King Wei of the Tang Dynasty. Starring." He glanced at Scorpio, who was deep in thought, and asked himself:
"Because they know that if they respect me a foot, I will respect them a foot! So since I was arrested, I have always cooperated with you. I have never tried to escape, and I have never harmed myself, committed suicide, or harmed you. It is precisely because of my cooperation that you have been able to use all your strength to defend against the government's attack in the past few days!
Moreover, Xuan Ye and Tianying try their best to meet my request, perhaps because they want to sell me a favor. If you can really kidnap me to the grassland in the future, I will miss them both! There is a fine line in everything, so I say that Xuan Ye and Tian Ying are much smarter than you two! "
Scorpio felt awe-struck when he heard this, saying that he did have some doubts before, why Xuan Ye and Tianying were so "polite" to Li Tai, neither tying up his limbs nor restricting his freedom inside the inn, and they were delicious. With the drink and ground being provided, the other party didn't look like a prisoner at all, he looked like an old man in a cage!
Now listening to Li Tai's explanation, although he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that what Li Tai said still made some sense.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is really eloquent. After all, aren't you just here for those two Huansheng Incense?"
Scorpio actually has a "good idea" in his heart, but he is not willing to admit defeat, let alone give in on the matter at hand, because his intuition tells him that today's Dharma meeting to the west of the inn is not normal, and he does not want to cause trouble. So he said:
"Next, like Xuan Ye and Leader Tianying, we will not restrict your freedom. As long as your request is not too excessive, we will try our best to meet it. However, today's ceremony is strange. We suspect that it is a government official. It was deliberately arranged, so I won’t let anyone help you get that rejuvenating incense!”
Although he rejected Li Tai as before, his tone was no longer as tough as before. Obviously, he didn't want to offend Li Tai to death and left a way out for himself!
Li Tai did not buy his blame, and sneered: "Arranged by the government? Haha~! If you don't want to help, just say it, why are you talking about the government? Do you think I am a fool? Why did the government arrange a Dharma meeting for no reason? They should be in a state of panic right now, trying to figure out how to rescue me! Could it be that just arranging a Dharma ceremony can save me~?"
"His Royal Highness King Wei, please don't make trouble unreasonably!"
Scorpio frowned and said.
Li Tai snorted and said: "I only want two sticks of Huanshengxiang, why are you making trouble unreasonably? Those common people can have it, why can't I deny it? You don't want to help me, it's just because you are worried That Huansheng incense is poisonous or has other problems, but don't think about it. If there is really something wrong with this Huansheng incense, how could the monks of Puguang Temple dare to distribute it to so many people? Afterwards, the Taiyuan government investigated and all of them ran away. No!
Besides, if there is anything wrong with this Huansheng Incense, you can wait until you get it back later and burn one for your people to try. I have been frightened for the past few days. I often have nightmares at night and find it difficult to fall asleep. I just heard from Master Du Nan that ordinary people can calm down the spirit, soothe the mind, help sleep, rejuvenate vitality, and prolong life. So I thought. Let you go help get a few!
You must know that if I don’t sleep well, my spirit will be bad. Once my spirit is bad, my temper will be bad. If I have a bad temper, I may cause trouble for you. Just don’t regret it when the time comes! "
If Xuan Ye were here, Li Tai would definitely look "poof" on his face. What does "I have been frightened in recent days, I often have nightmares at night, and it is difficult to fall asleep"? The night before yesterday, Xuan Ye and Li Tai slept in the same room. Li Tai slept soundly at that time, but Xuan Ye stayed up all night because he had something on his mind!
After hearing what Li Tai said, Scorpio was slightly moved. He felt that he had been a little too cautious before. Didn't he just take two sticks of Huansheng incense? If you are really worried that there is something wrong with the incense, you can let someone try it before handing it over to Li Tai. If there is really no problem, then hand it over to Li Tai. This way the risk can be minimized!
"Brother, I think what King Wei said makes sense. Otherwise, I'll go out and get two sticks of Huansheng Incense and come back! At worst, I'll burn one myself and try it~!"
Mu Jiao, who had not spoken for a long time, now spoke.
Scorpio glanced at his valuable brother, pondered for a moment and said: "You stay here, I will arrange for others to receive the Huanshengxiang~!"
