"Hmm? Little girl, you said you know how to levitate? Is that true? "
In Chang 'an City, at the altar in front of the Daxing Shan Temple, Di Zhixun's eyes lit up. He quickly found the little girl who had spoken arrogantly, squatted down, and asked in a low voice.
"Of course it's true! I knew how to levitate when I was seven years old! "
The little girl was wearing patched clothes made of coarse cloth. She was not shy, but she still looked at Di Zhixun warily. After a moment of hesitation, she said in a clear voice.
"Haha! That's great! "
Hearing this, Di Zhixun could no longer hide the excitement on his face. Li Tai, Sun Zifan, and Yuchi Baolin also hurriedly squeezed over. Di Zhixun then asked, "Little girl, can you tell me how to levitate?"
This guy was like a strange uncle. If it were modern times, he would probably be arrested by the people and sent to the police station!
"I won't! Why should I tell you? "
The little girl rolled her eyes, then pouted, and said arrogantly.
"…"
Di Zhixun was instantly choked. He thought to himself, "Why are children nowadays so difficult to talk to?"
"Little girl, if you tell us the secret of levitate, I will buy you a lot of delicious food!"
Li Tai also bent down and whispered at this time.
The little girl's height was less than Li Tai's armpit. In order to ensure that his voice could be heard by the little girl and not by the people around him, he could only bend down.
"Are you rich?"
The little girl looked at Li Tai with her big watery eyes and then asked weakly.
Li Tai's face froze when he heard this. After a moment, he laughed dryly and said, "You can say that!"
The little girl supported her chin with her hand and thought seriously. Then she raised her head and said, "Then I don't want delicious food. I want money! How much can you give me? "
This was a difficult question for Li Tai. If he said too little, the little girl might turn around and leave. If he said too much, wouldn't he be a fool who would be slaughtered?
After pondering for a moment, Li Tai stretched out a finger and asked, "How about money?"
He saw that the little girl in front of him was dressed shabbily and was only about eight or nine years old. Money should be a huge sum of money to her, so he said that.
The little girl wrinkled her nose and snorted. She did not say anything, but it was obvious that she was not satisfied with the price.
"Uh …"
Li Tai couldn't help but be speechless. He thought that this little girl's "appetite" was really big. After a pause, he said, "How about ten strings of cash?"
The little girl's eyes lit up slightly, but she was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, she sized up Li Tai seriously and said, "Hmph! You are so insincere. Just based on the jade pendant on your body, it's more than ten strings of cash! "
Li Tai couldn't help but look at the green jade pendant on his waist. He thought to himself that this little girl had some eyesight. She actually knew that this jade pendant was expensive. As the King of Wei, all the accessories on his body were expensive, and this jade pendant was no exception!
"Then how much do you want? Name a price! "
After being rejected one after another, Li Tai became impatient. He simply asked the other party to name a price!
The little girl thought for a moment. After a moment, she also stretched out a finger. There was some hesitation in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. She said, "I … I want a hundred strings of cash. Is that okay?"
It was obvious that she did not have much confidence in this hundred strings of cash, but for some reason, she still named this price.
"A hundred strings of cash?"
Li Tai couldn't help but frown. With his status and wealth, he naturally wouldn't take a mere hundred strings of cash to heart. However, this little girl in front of him wanted a hundred strings of cash just for a piece of information. Wasn't she asking for too much? Furthermore, it gave people the feeling that she was insatiable!
Li Tai couldn't help but have a bad impression of the little girl.
"Yes … Yes! A hundred strings of cash! Can you give it to me? As long as you give me a hundred strings of cash, I'll tell you everything! "
The little girl hurriedly said.
Her eyes were filled with emotions. There was nervousness, uneasiness, excitement, and agitation! There was so much more.
"Even if I give you a hundred strings of cash, aren't you afraid of encountering bad people with so much money?"
Li Tai frowned.
A trace of fear flashed in the little girl's eyes, but she immediately insisted, "You don't have to worry about that. You just have to give me the money!"
Li Tai was helpless. He could only take out a hundred tang yuan from his sleeve and hand it over. "This is a hundred tang yuan. It can be exchanged for copper coins in the Yanhuang Bank of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to get this hundred strings of cash, you have to first tell me the secret of the Levitation Technique!"
Previously, he had planned to ask the little girl's name, but after this conversation, he couldn't even be bothered to ask her name. This was because in his opinion, this little girl was too greedy and not worth his asking. Li Tai only wanted to quickly understand the Levitation Technique and send her away!
The little girl blinked and shook her head. "That won't do. If I tell you the secret of the Levitation Technique and you don't give me the money, then what should I do? You have to give me the money first! "
Li Tai was speechless. "Then if you don't even know the secret of the Levitation Technique and run away after getting the money, wouldn't I be the one at a disadvantage?"
The little girl frowned. "There are four of you and only one of me. If I run, how can I outrun all of you? Big brother, can you use your brain when you speak? "
Can you use your brain when you speak …
Hearing this, Li Tai almost vomited blood on the spot.
However, to a certain extent, he had to admit that the little girl's words did make some sense. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Alright! I'll believe you this time! Here! Here! This is a hundred strings of cash. Keep it safe! "
After that, he handed the hundred strings of cash in his hand to the little girl.
"Swoosh!"
The little girl quickly "snatched" the string of cash from Li Tai's hand, and then carefully examined it in front of her eyes. She was probably trying to determine if the string of cash was real or fake. Seeing this, Li Tai found it funny. "Can you tell if the string of cash is real or fake? Why don't I help you?! "
The little girl ignored Li Tai and looked at the string of cash for a while. Then, she carefully put the hundred string of cash into her pocket. Seeing Li Tai looking at her with a burning gaze, she put her guard up and said softly, "Since you're so straightforward, I'll teach you the secret of the levitation technique. All of you come closer. I'll only say it once. If anyone doesn't hear it clearly, then I won't care!"
Hearing this, Li Tai, Sun Zifan, Di Zhixun and Yuchi Baolin quickly bent down and moved their heads closer.
The little girl said softly, "Actually, that monk Du 'e isn't floating. He's sitting on a piece of metal! Do you see the monk's staff in his hand? The bottom of the monk's staff is fixed to the platform of the altar. The top of the monk's staff is also connected to the chair. However, the iron rods that are connected to the chair are hidden in his sleeves and clothes. The piece of metal that he's sitting on is connected to the monk's staff through these hidden iron rods!
Because he's wearing a very loose monk's robe and kasaya, with these things blocking the view, others would think that he's floating in the sky! But this is just a smokescreen that can only deceive young masters like you who are inexperienced in worldly affairs! "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be enlightened. However, when they heard the little girl's last sentence, "It can only fool you inexperienced young masters", the four of them were so depressed that they almost vomited blood. They, the young masters of the capital, had actually been collectively ridiculed by an unknown little girl!
If this were to spread out, many people would definitely laugh their heads off!
"I see! I didn't expect this Du 'e to be so cunning! Just by using this little trick, he's able to make the people believe that he's the reincarnation of a Buddha. He even almost tricked the four of us. How hateful! "
Di Zhixun couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Li Tai nodded and said, "Now, it seems that the Clear Water Lotus Technique that Du 'e used before must be a lie. I just don't know how he did it!"
"Haha! Wouldn't it be easier to just ask this little lass … eh? Where's that little girl? "
Di Zhixun was just about to say, "Just ask this little girl", but when he looked down, there was no trace of the little girl around.
"Hey! This little girl actually took the money and ran away! What a little money-grubber! "
Di Zhixun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Obviously, he had heard the conversation between the little girl and Li Tai just now.
"Humph! Who are you calling a little money-grubber? "
As soon as Di Zhixun's voice fell, he suddenly felt a small fist hitting his back, followed by the crisp voice of a little girl.
Who else could it be but the little girl from before?
"Yo! Little girl, you didn't leave? "
Di Zhixun turned around and laughed in a low voice.
The little girl curled her lips and said, "I wanted to leave, but I couldn't! Who would want to stay with you idiots? "
"Idiots?"
Di Zhixun had a strange look on his face when he heard this. The four of them were students of Yanhuang Academy, and Li Tai and he were both ranked in the top 50 of the academy. No matter how he looked at it, they were not idiots at all!
"Humph! You can't even see through such a simple trick. What else can you be if you're not idiots? "
The little girl pouted and said matter-of-factly.
Everyone was speechless.
If it weren't for the occasion, Sun Zifan even wanted to stuff the little girl's mouth with a rag and ask her fiercely, "What kind of education did you receive? Why are your words so hurtful?"
"Buzz!"
"The master is going to perform the celestial magic again!"
"Great! We're really going to feast our eyes today! We can actually see two celestial magic! "
At this moment, the onlookers suddenly cheered loudly, which woke up Li Tai and the others instantly and turned their attention to the spiritual altar.
Du E put his palms together and said loudly like an eminent monk, "Amitabha! The Buddha not only taught me the levitation skill, but also the skill of turning water into ice. It's just right to bring some coolness to all of you in this hot summer! "
"Heh! Is Du E trying to make ice with water? What kind of celestial magic is that? The Yamachō has long known how to make ice with water! "
Li Tai couldn't help but frown.
There was no ice cellar in the Drunken Immortal Inn, but there was always ice and warmth. Therefore, Li Zexuan's ability to make ice in summer had long been an open "secret".
"Let's see what tricks Du E is going to play this time! Let's play it by ear! "
Di Zhixun said thoughtfully.
"Dear benefactors, please take a look. I'm holding a bottle of water in my hand, a bottle of water that can flow! Next, I'll use the skill of turning water into ice. Dear benefactors, please take a look! "
At this moment, Du E took out a bottle of water from somewhere on the stage. It was a glass bottle, and the freely flowing water could be seen through the glass bottle. Then, Du E opened the bottle and held the bottle in his left hand and a transparent glass cup in his right hand. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Du E slowly tilted the bottle of water, and the crystal clear water immediately flowed down and hit the transparent glass cup. The expected scene of water splashing didn't happen. Instead, a shocking scene appeared.
The flowing water on the glazed cup quickly turned into dark gray ice cubes. As more and more water flowed down, more and more ice cubes appeared in the glazed cup. Under the sunlight, people who were close to the glazed cup could even see the cold air coming out of it. Obviously, it was really ice cubes!
Buzz ~!
"It really turned into ice cubes!"
"This is amazing! The water actually turned into ice cubes on such a hot day! This is really amazing! "
"The reincarnation of a Buddha! Master is the reincarnation of a Buddha! "
"It's really the work of a God! I'm really lucky to be able to see it! "
Shakyamuni grinned when he heard the compliments that came from all directions, and then he passed the plate of ice fragments to a young monk and asked him to distribute it to his followers. In an instant, the plate of ice fragments was fought over by the crowd!
"Qingque, this … this time, Du E shouldn't be lying, right? He turned water into ice in front of everyone's eyes! "
Sun Zifan's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. In the end, he couldn't help but say.
"It's not a lie, but it's definitely not a God's skill. I'm guessing that Yamachō must know the principle behind it!"
Li Tai said faintly.
Sun Zifan frowned and said, "Although Yamachō knows how to turn water into ice, it's impossible for them to turn flowing water into ice in an instant like Du E, right?"
Li Tai said with a serious face, "I believe that Yamachō must know! When we go back later, I'll send a telegram to ask him! "
Sun Zifan nodded and said, "Well, that's for the best!"
"Qingque, I have an idea!"
All of a sudden, Di Zhixun said this without any reason, which gave them a great shock. Then, he realized that his words could easily cause misunderstandings, so he hurriedly added, "As for the murderer, I have an answer in my heart!"
