Chapter 271: Treat this general like a god
Xiao Minglou took a step forward, patted his chest with his right hand and said, "Oh, yes, that's right. This general has long seen that this demon is playing tricks and trying to deceive the emperor and frame my cousin."
Fortunately, out of curiosity, he had just asked her about the phosphorus powder, how to ignite it, and how to use it, among other details.
After saying that, he stepped forward and said, "In fact, the reason why the puppet suddenly caught fire just now was not because the Green Lotus Demon lit it from a distance, but because of phosphorus powder. Phosphorus powder is a substance with a very low ignition point. The clothes worn by those who wear masks and symbolize evil spirits and ghosts are smooth and non-flammable.
But they all wore a glove with a special piece of leather in the middle of the glove. The leather was rough and hard, and as long as the True Man Qinglian pointed the whisk at them, they would rub the center of the glove against the puppet covered with phosphorus powder, and the puppet would catch fire.
Although he didn't quite understand some of the words his cousin said.
However, he has a pretty good memory and remembers everything.
Therefore, he was so passionate throughout the entire commentary process. After all, he had never been seen in such a highlight moment that symbolized wisdom in the past. It was also for this reason that his grandfather always said that he was an incorrigible child.
Now, he can finally get some attention thanks to his cousin's wisdom.
More importantly... he secretly glanced at He Yun in the crowd.
He Yun was looking at him. He had a slender figure, a small face the size of a palm, and a pair of big eyes that were staring at him intently.
Cousin, that’s nice of you!
Ouyang Ming finally cast a suspicious eye towards Master Qinglian.
True Man Qinglian just said coldly: "Qinglian doesn't know what the general is talking about, nor does he know what phosphorus powder is. The fire just now was lit by Qinglian from a distance."
When Xiao Minglou heard this, he immediately became angry again: "Don't think you can deny it. The light when this phosphorus burns is different from the color of the fire we usually light. It is white light. Everyone was here just now, and someone must have noticed that the light when it first burned was very bright and white!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him began to recall the past.
"Is there? What color was the light just now? I can't remember clearly."
"I can't remember."
"I remember that it was indeed white light. I was surprised at the time why the puppet was white light when it first burned. I thought it was the unique light of the fire that could exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits!"
"Did you really see it clearly?"
"Of course, I have a good memory."
"Could it be that what General Xiao said is the truth? Is this Qinglian Zhenren just a name for nothing and is just playing tricks?"
"I do not know either."
"..."
True Man Qinglian still looked calm: "Why is this fire white? That's because this fire is different, and the light is also different. Red, yellow, green, purple, and white, the later it is, the more powerful it is. This white flame was cultivated by Qinglian after more than 80 years of cultivation. How can you, a mere mortal, understand it?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"No way, this Qinglian Master is already over eighty years old?"
"But she looks to be in her early thirties at most."
"Could it be that she has really become an immortal and is therefore immortal?"
"Then, does my suspicion of her just now count as blasphemy? Will I be punished?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him quickly moved away from him and said, "It's hard to say."
"God is above, please don't be surprised if there is something strange. Please don't be surprised if there is something strange."
"..."
The queen mother had a smile on her face and a proud look in her wrinkled eyes: "Master Qinglian is now eighty-seven years old, but she can still maintain such a good appearance. It is because of her cultivation. She has also refined an elixir of immortality for me. After I took it, I was indeed a hundred times more energetic. Master Qinglian is a powerful person. I believe she is not a person who gets her reputation for nothing."
Xiao Minglou had a bad temper to begin with, and he couldn't control what he was saying. "No, she said she was over eighty years old, did you believe it? And I also said I'm 108 years old now, do you guys also worship me as a deity?"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wang immediately said, "General Xiao, how dare you talk to the Queen Mother? You are so bold!"
When Xiao Minglou heard this, he immediately wanted to get angry.
Xiao Mingyu seemed to have anticipated his next move and immediately tugged at his sleeve and shook his head at him.
Xiao Minglou also came to his senses and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother. Although he looked unhappy, he did not lose his temper. "It was Minglou who was rude, but what Minglou said was the truth. As for the age issue, unless there is someone trustworthy who has witnessed her living that long, how can we prove that she really lived that long?"
True Man Qinglian stood there, and said calmly, "So, when General Xiao pointed out that I used phosphorus powder just now, did he see me applying it on the puppet with his own eyes? Or can you take out the puppet or phosphorus powder and demonstrate it to everyone? Otherwise, how can everyone believe you?"
After these words were spoken, Xiao Minglou was completely confused.
Because of what Bai Wei said, he chose to believe it directly and did not raise any questions.
This time, he was not questioning Bai Wei.
However, he really didn’t know how to refute the Green Lotus Demon in front of him!
Suddenly, his slightly dark face turned red with anger, but he couldn't say a word to refute.
Ouyang Ming said calmly: "Master Qinglian is right. Since you are just talking, it can't be considered as evidence."
The veins on Xiao Minglou's forehead bulged slightly, and he opened his mouth to argue, but still couldn't utter a word. At this moment, Bai Wei continued, "Master Qinglian is indeed smart. He burned the special doll last, along with the woman, and there is no evidence. It is indeed difficult to prove you with all the evidence destroyed."
Qinglian Zhenren pointed his finger at Bai Wei, and said indignantly, "You bold monster, it's not enough that you have bewitched the two princes, and now you have bewitched General Xiao of the Xiao family to help you make up lies and slander others. I really underestimated you. I'm putting this on the line. If this thousand-year-old fox demon is not eliminated today, it will become a big problem in the future."
Everyone looked at Bai Wei again, with dangerous malice in their eyes.
The Queen Mother asked, "Your Majesty, don't you understand the situation now?"
Ouyang Ming frowned slightly. "Since you can't provide concrete evidence to prove your innocence, and can't prove that Qinglian Zhenren drew the map for nothing, then I can't help but deal with this matter. If you surrender now, I can think of a way to suppress you with Qinglian Zhenren without sacrificing your life, considering that you haven't killed anyone yet and have contributed to Dongqin."
Bai Wei raised her lips and said, "Your Majesty, I said that there was no evidence left in the matter of the puppet, but that does not mean that I do not have other evidence to prove that she is a liar. After all, although the puppet is destroyed, the so-called magic mirror is still there! The evidence is as strong as a mountain and cannot be denied."
As Bai Wei spoke, she walked directly to the bronze mirror. The mirror was still bright red, mixed with the clear outline of the fox demon. Her figure overlapped with the shadow of the so-called fox demon in the mirror. Looking closely, she didn't feel creepy at all, but rather looked a little beautiful.
Someone brave enough said, "Don't say it, this General Bai and this fox demon are really similar."
Some timid people screamed: "Fox demon, General Bai is the fox demon!"
Bai Wei was speechless.
Fox demon, your whole family is fox demon.
Bai Wei checked the bronze mirror thoroughly and confirmed that everything was the same as she imagined. The next second, she raised her hand and poured a pot of wine on the bronze mirror. The blood color on the bronze mirror was diluted a little, and the outline of the fox demon also faded a little.
She curled her lips into a smile, her eyes full of cunning insight, and turned to Ouyang Ming and saluted, "Your Majesty, please give me an incense stick of time, and I will be able to reproduce the trick that Master Qinglian just used to reveal the fox demon!"
