Chapter 507 Verification
After finishing one crab, Bai Yongyan sighed with satisfaction and let out a long burp.
Everyone present also burped with exactly the same loudness and length at the same time, and even the satisfied expressions on their faces were exactly the same.
"How about it, everyone, can Bai's crab-eating technique be considered novel?"
Bai Yongyan glanced at the guests with a smile, picked up a silk handkerchief, soaked it in water, and wiped his greasy fingers.
Everyone looked at each other, they didn't know what happened just now.
I felt greedy in my stomach, my limbs were out of control, and I couldn't help but imitate Bai Yongyan's movements.
It was only then that I realized something was wrong.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to actually know the long-lost art of puppeteering."
A dark-skinned man who was as tall as an iron tower said Yin Zhi: "Using the white peach as a guide and driven by a spell, the user cannot control the body and can only act according to the user's thoughts.
Even if he watched himself jumping into a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he couldn't resist. "
The man who spoke was none other than Li Yushan, the captain of the Wude Guard Demon Suppression School who led the Wude Guard soldiers to protect the Annan mission.
"Pooh."
Li Yushan opened his mouth and spit out a piece of white peach. The two lieutenants on his left and right also spit out the white peach into the plate in front of him.
The fingers of these three people are clean and not greasy from crabs.
Just now, when everyone imitated Bai Yongyan and ate crabs, they just stood aside and watched indifferently.
In addition to these three people, those who have never eaten crab include Yu Qingqiu, as well as monks from Yonglin Temple and Annan Mission.
It's just that the latter didn't seem to spit out the white peach chunks, and he didn't know what method he used to block Bai Yongyan's magic.
"It made Captain Li laugh."
Bai Yongyan sat under the tree, cupped his hands and smiled: "Actually, this is not a real puppet hater at all.
The orthodox Puppet Hate Technique only needs to obtain a hair or a drop of blood from the target and use it to make a puppet to cast the spell.
Under the subtle influence, the subject can take various actions that are beneficial to the caster without noticing any abnormalities.
Bai just took a clever trick and used white peaches as an intermediary to encourage everyone to eat the crabs they originally wanted to eat.
It's far from playing with the mind and manipulating the body. "
When all the guests heard this, their expressions were still a little ugly.
They are either big shots with a good reputation, or they are sorcerers and monks who rely on their clever methods.
Out of self-esteem and self-preservation, they cannot accept someone manipulating their behavior.
Before anyone else could attack, the old man Dancing Spider, who looked extremely ugly, slapped the table, stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at Bai Yongyan under the tree, and shouted sternly:
"Surnamed Bai, you actually used the method of aversion to victory on the prince's guests. You want to ruin the reputation of the prince's palace..."
Before they finished speaking, all the guests felt their throats itch. They subconsciously opened their mouths and spit out a piece of white peach just like Li Yushan and others did, thus breaking the "puppet's aversion to victory" technique.
Only the old man Dancing Spider had his eyes wide open and covered with bloodshot eyes. He held his throat with both hands and kept making "ho ho ho" sounds from his mouth.
It seems that the white peach is stuck in the throat.
The child beside him was so anxious that he broke into cold sweat and kept patting the old man Dancing Spider's back, almost crying.
Bai Yongyan then waved his hand, causing the old man to cough violently, coughing, coughing, coughing up a piece of blood-streaked white peach flesh.
"Brother Wei, remember to chew some next time you eat,"
Bai Yongyan said with a smile on his face: "Old people should chew carefully and slowly when eating."
The servant who ran quickly from the corridor did not know what had just happened in the hall, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The prince has arrived——"
The King of Shu has arrived!
The host of this banquet, the most distinguished person in Luzhou and even the entire Southern Territory, is about to arrive.
All the guests quickly arranged their appearance, clothes and appearance, and sat upright.
The old man Dancing Spider's expression also changed. He hesitated for a while, not caring about investigating Bai Yongyan's crime. He snorted coldly and sat down silently.
Bai Yongyan Shiran stood up and reached out to touch the bark of the tree. The whole tree shrank and withered in place at an extremely fast speed.
Green leaves fell all over the sky and turned into ashes before they hit the ground.
The remaining tree roots and branches seemed to be integrated into the wooden floor and disappeared.
After a few breaths, the peach tree as high as the ceiling of the hall seemed to have never existed.
After a moment, the roller blind at the innermost side of the hall was lifted by a servant.
A middle-aged man with a wide body, fat head and big ears walked in.
His complexion was pale and fat, his fingers were as short and thick as carrots, and the fat on his body almost overflowed from his purple robe.
"Haha, Xiao Wang, I'm so drunk that I've been sober for a long time."
The King of Shu smiled and said, "I'll make you laugh."
Everyone shook their heads hastily, the educated ones made up a few lines of poems, while the uneducated ones said things like "Noble men always come late" and "The king's informality is really his true temperament".
After a period of flattery, King Shu waved his hand, walked to his seat and sat down.
Now that the hosts are all here, the banquet can proceed normally.
The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, and the dancers in silk skirts entered the stage to dance. The banquet seemed to be back on track.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, King Shu seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead, put down the wine glass, and cleared his throat, "Hey, I almost forgot about the main thing tonight."
The originally lively and noisy banquet suddenly became quiet.
The music of silk and bamboo subsided, and the dancers left silently along the gap between the guest seats.
"Fude Monk, the auspiciousness you have brought is to be presented to His Majesty in Beijing."
The King of Shu, whose face was reddish due to drinking, said slowly: "In recent years, the world has been plagued by disasters, floods, droughts and locust plagues. Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things, and you have already gone to court early. You are already exhausted mentally and physically from all the paperwork.
I heard that your Annan auspicious sign can predict the weather and seek good luck and avoid bad luck?
Why not let me take a look and verify it. "
coming!
Everyone present was shocked. After waiting for so long, they finally heard these words.
Everyone knows that the emperor was suspicious by nature.
This time the King of Shu hosted a banquet for guests and asked the Annan mission to bring out auspicious signs for verification. This was probably the emperor's intention.
Monk Annan had also known about this step for a long time, so he naturally did not object. After discussing for a while, eight young monks entered the hall pushing an iron cart.
Placed on top of the iron cart is still a huge iron cage covered with a curtain.
There was silence in the iron cage, exuding an indescribably weird atmosphere.
The originally harmonious atmosphere in the hall disappeared instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the iron cage.
The young Annan monk swallowed, and with fear and awe, he grabbed the curtain and slowly pulled it down.
