The rise of the prince

Chapter 275
Qi Rui nodded, stepped forward under the worried and frightened eyes of the crowd, hugged the Guanyin statue, shouted angrily, and pulled it up all at once. The Guanyin statue weighed more than 100 catties, and one third was buried in the soil. A hundred catties of strength pulled it out.

This is the so-called titan. In ancient times, a catty was 16 taels. With Qi Rui's strength, he didn't need any moves on the battlefield. Give him a weapon that is heavy enough, and Li Xingzhou believes that he can smash people to pieces.

When the Avalokitesvara statue was pulled out, the hole at the bottom leaked out, just as Li Xingzhou expected.

"My lord, there is something below!" Yan Shen said in surprise.

"Get it out."

Yan Yan nodded, and handed the Wang Qi to the people nearby, and several people hurriedly supported him in fear, and then Yan Shen dug out the things in the hole himself, put them on the ground, and saw that they were long white bean sprouts, some of which were already Start bending.

This time, the crowd was even more stunned.

The first time he heard about the statue of Avalokitesvara, Li Xingzhou guessed it should be so. When he went to the top of the mountain, he saw that the soil around the Buddha statue was raised and loose, and he became more convinced that it was the bean sprouts that were being held up by the Buddha statue and could not grow upwards. , the edges start to grow around, so that the soil is pushed up.

This kind of deception also existed in history. In order to cheat incense money, monks in temples once said that there is a living Buddha with clean water in the temple. As long as pilgrims pay for watering, Buddha statues can grow. , Those who water the water will be blessed by the Living Buddha.

It turned out to be miraculous, as the monk said, as long as the pilgrims pay for "clean water", the Buddha statue will break out of the ground and grow taller every day. It did fool a lot of people.

Later, as society progressed, this deception was gradually exposed.

The reason is actually very simple.
"Hahaha, do you understand now!
This scammer just dug a hole, poured more than a dozen catties of soybeans, put a statue of Guanyin on it, and then buried it with soil. Li Xingzhou pointed to the long bean sprouts on the ground, and then pointed to the fat monk who was restrained by Di Zhi behind him and said loudly:

"It's spring now, there are often spring rains at night, the spring is warm and flowers bloom, all things grow, the rain seeps into the soil, and the soybeans germinate, and naturally this Guanyin statue is lifted up. It is not a fairy at all, and he is not a universal immortal. Guanyin Son, you are a liar!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone talked a lot, and the people gradually understood what was going on, and glared at the universal immortal.

The words of the Great Immortal of the World are a liar" also spread from word to mouth, starting from the middle crowd and spreading outward, and slowly, with the whispering, the influence continued to expand, and people who could not see or hear outside gradually understood what was going on. The whole mountain was agitated.

Immortal Universal was already so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his crotch was wet and gave off an unpleasant smell.

The people are still whispering, their voices are getting louder, and more and more unkind eyes are looking at the Universal Immortal.

Li Xingzhou shook his head. As a liar, he did a good job, but as a leader, or leader, he lacked too much courage.

If it was someone like Ding Yi, he would definitely sit in the temple and die, and if he dared to force his way into the people, he would definitely not agree, and the people in the mountains would not be able to deal with them.As a result, the Universal Immortal was afraid, afraid of his status as a prince, and afraid of the emperor behind him.

In fact, although the actions of Universal Immortal did not explicitly shout out the slogan of rebellion, but he encouraged the people to attack the princess mansion. How is he different from a rebel?

As a result, the Universal Immortal didn't want to understand it, and he didn't have the courage and determination. He was actually afraid when things came to an end, and he wanted to procrastinate and perfunctory, but in the end he was given a chance instead.

If he never met, how would Li Xingzhou expose his deception.

Without debunking the foreshadowing of Shendan, would he dare to touch the statue of Guanyin in front of tens of thousands of people without first pointing out that Shendan is hidden in the rosary in front of many fanatical people?
Of course not.

No matter what the reason is, if he dares to move, the people all over the mountain will fight him desperately in an instant.

As soon as the Universal Immortal came out of the small temple to see him, he had already lost. The loss was due to the overall situation, courage and determination.

As for deceiving him with acting skills, using his status as the emperor to force him to hand over the Buddhist beads are all things to do later.

As long as he comes out, it means that he is afraid of the royal family. Once he is afraid in his heart, he will definitely not be able to last.

Li Xingzhou pretended to be sincere, and under pressure, he handed over the prayer beads. What he didn't expect was that he had actually seen through his tricks from the very beginning, playing tricks on every occasion, and getting the evidence step by step.

Ten minutes later, word of mouth spread, and the people on the whole mountain became angry, and gradually gathered around the Guanyin Temple, shouting that they would kill the liar.

At this time, Shenjiying and Xiangjun hurried up the mountain under the leadership of Qifang. Those young people who were holding sticks and shaved their heads to protect the Universal Immortal put down their sticks one after another and hid in the crowd.

After a while, Xiang Jun and Shenji Battalion surrounded the temple, and no one dared to stop it.

The Xiang Army quickly surrounded the entire temple, while the Shenji Battalion left behind to protect Li Xingzhou, and then followed the previous training to quickly seize the surrounding highlands and control the entire valley.

Qifang was out of breath, her sword was out of its sheath, and when she saw them, she asked anxiously, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, everything is under control, in fact, you can just drink tea below, don't be in such a hurry." Li Xingzhou teased, she probably saw the situation on the mountain changed, and the people were walking towards the temple, and thought something happened, so hurry up Rush up the mountain to save the field.

She was so annoyed by Li Xingzhou's indifferent attitude that she couldn't speak, but she soon realized that something was wrong, because no one stopped them or attacked them.

"What's going on here?" She asked puzzled.

Li Xingzhou didn't explain, but someone knelt down and shouted: "My lord, please save us!"

"Yes, only the prince can save us!"

"Please save the villain"

"The little prince is smart and discerns every detail. Please save us Luzhou!"

"."

For a moment, the crowd seemed to be infected, and they all knelt down, shouting and begging Li Xingzhou to save them.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. The spiritual sustenance of the common people was the "Universal Great Immortal". Li Xingzhou exposed him and defeated him. Suddenly, the common people lost their psychological support. In this case, of course they would fall to him. He is the king of Pingnan County in the imperial court, with a distinguished status; secondly, he "defeated" the Universal Immortal.

All the eyes of the mountain were focused on him, but this time it was completely different from the hostility and fear when he went up the mountain.
Li Xingzhou looked at the many expectant eyes, pulled his collar, turned around and said: "Life is so exciting, ups and downs, dizzying. If you don't have the fighting spirit to die, you won't have a chance to die."

Yan Shen and Di Zhi looked at each other, laughed, knelt on one knee and clasped their fists together and said, "I am willing to die for King Pingnan!"

Qi Rui was stunned for a moment, then knelt down honestly: "I am willing to die for King Pingnan!"
