I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 151 My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch the ceremony?

"???"

Huo Guang and his entourage were also confused.

Wouldn't they know whether Liu Ju had a serious illness during the journey?
He almost died on the way...isn't this pure nonsense?

If Liu Ju really had such a serious illness, Huo Guang would definitely take Liu Ju and rush straight to Chang'an without saying a word, and there would be no ceremony today at all.

However, when it comes to Liu Ju's "magic", they still have some expectations in their hearts.

After all, the skill he had displayed at Gongsun Qing's ancestral home was so shocking that Huo Guang and others still remember it vividly.

Living in this era, they have all more or less seen some rituals to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters.

But Liu Ju's intuitiveness and his amazing ability to kill the evil spirit with a slap on the cloth, leaving a bloody handprint, were truly eye-opening. Given the limitations of their cognition of things, it was hard for them not to believe it.

Therefore, they no longer doubted that Liu Ju knew magic, but this magic...

"!!!"

Gongsun Qing had a fanatical look on his face at this moment.

He didn't know whether Liu Ju had been seriously ill during the days he was away from the team. He only knew that he had acquired the ability to "kill evil spirits" because of an illness.

If on the basis of the previous situation, Liu Ju fell seriously ill again.

Wouldn't that mean you have to become a demigod?

After all, there has always been a saying in this era that when people are at their weakest and dying, they are most likely to come into contact with ghosts and gods. Many folk gods and alchemists, usually after a serious illness, claim that they have experienced life and death and have mastered the way of the gods, and from then on they begin to ask gods to look at things for people.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!
Although he was not Liu Ju's close associate, after what happened before, he considered himself to be Liu Ju's "own man", right?
In this way, maybe he can also get some benefits from Liu Ju...

"..."

However, Sima Qian frowned at this moment.

Although he is currently unable to tell whether this description is true or false, he has heard similar statements no less than a hundred times during his years of traveling abroad.

Therefore, in his opinion, Liu Ju had fallen into cliché again this time.

Moreover, he had communicated with those rural gods and alchemists before. Although some of them always had some mysterious deeds, in actual communication, Sima Qian always found some unreasonable loopholes or some not-so-clever details, and was greatly disappointed with them.

After all, most of the time, the cultural level of these rural gods and alchemists is generally not high.

Especially in front of someone like him who has been traveling around the world for many years, his culture and knowledge seem increasingly inadequate, and it is not easy to deceive him.

So, what exactly was Liu Ju trying to achieve by doing this?
As a prince, don't you feel it is a disgrace to do these things?
Besides, the purpose of those gods and alchemists is mostly to make money. As a prince, Liu Ju has no worries about food and drink, so it seems that he has no need in this regard, right?

Or does he actually have real skills?
But if that's the case, there's absolutely no need for him to show up in front of these alchemists and common people, right?

Why not go back to the capital directly and report the matter to the emperor? Isn't the current emperor more interested in these things? This can also enhance the relationship between father and son?

……

In the process of everyone having their own thoughts.

“Colorful!” “Colorful!” “Colorful!!!”

The atmosphere was created by the atmosphere group arranged in advance. Many people who didn't have many ideas at the scene started to shout together, and the scene soon became lively.

The local officials and alchemists in the VIP seats were originally positioned closer to the front.

At this moment, they were also worried that Liu Ju, who was somewhere away, was watching them and would record their disrespectful behavior in his little notebook, so they had to pretend to applaud and cheer along.

So in just a moment, the scene that was almost cold became as hot as it should be.

"Your Highness is really good at predicting things!"

"If we hadn't arranged for these people to lead the trouble in advance, the situation would have been out of control... I really learned a lesson this time."

Li Guangli finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and at this moment he was enjoying himself by shouting "Silence" a few times, finally managing to restore some calm to the situation, and then he shouted again:
"Dear fellow villagers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arrived at the scene. Welcome His Royal Highness!"

As he spoke, Li Guangli raised his hand and waved it in the air.

next moment.

"Hula-"

A curtain not far behind him slowly opened from left to right.

The people in the audience then realized that Liu Ju was standing behind the curtain in a formal, loose court robe, with a faint smile on his face and a bamboo stick shaped like a staff in his hand.

"Welcome Your Highness!"

The atmosphere group immediately took action again.

He led everyone present to bow to Liu Ju.

Needless to say, the local officials and alchemists had already bowed their heads consciously at this time. Some of them were even faster than the atmosphere group in order to show off.

"My fellow countrymen, there is no need to be so polite."

Liu Ju looked around, then waved his hand and said with a smile.

However, his normal voice could not be heard throughout the entire venue, and if he started shouting, he would lose his status as a prince and a demigod.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is enjoying the people's happiness, and orders that the ceremony be dispensed with!"

At this time, Li Guangli's role as the host was reflected. Although his howl did not last throughout the entire venue, it was heard by more than half of the people.

"Fellow villagers, please keep your eyes open and watch carefully!"

"Your Highness will now try out a technique that is the least worthy of mention among the many techniques!"

"When His Highness is performing magic, no loud noises or whispers are allowed. If you are impressed by His Highness' magic and want to beg for His Highness' blessing, you can kneel down and watch the ceremony sincerely. His Highness will be able to sense it!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the place immediately became much quieter. Almost everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at Liu Ju on the stage without blinking.

After all, that was a magical art, and it was demonstrated in front of tens of thousands of people. Regardless of whether it was true or false, just the grand scene alone would be something you would regret for the rest of your life if you missed it.

What’s more, the one who demonstrated the magic was the noble prince of Han Dynasty.

Just this identity alone is something that most people here would hardly see in their entire lives...

then.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Ju still maintained a faint smile, then slowly closed his eyes, looking like he was standing in meditation.

One breath...

Two breaths...

Three breaths...

Liu Ju just stood there quietly, without moving.

"What's going on? Where's the magic?"

"Does standing like this for a while count as a magical skill? I can do it, I can stand still for an hour..."

"Could it be that they are praying for rain? The dark clouds are coming soon?"

"It's a sunny day. If you can really pray for dark clouds and rain, I will kneel before the prince for an hour."

"Isn't that just a pretense?"

After waiting for a while, the people in the audience could no longer bear it. Some began to whisper to each other, and there was even a small commotion.

But the next moment!
"Hey! It's moving! It's started!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

The scene instantly fell into silence again, and all eyes were focused on Liu Ju.

Liu Ju was still standing, then he slowly raised one leg, gradually bent his knee upwards, and finally sat cross-legged.

However, he was sitting cross-legged with only one leg.

"This move is not simple, most people can't do it!"

"I tried it, but it was hard to stand without holding my leg with my hands."

"It's hard to stand even if you hold on, right?"

"But this isn't really a magic technique, it doesn't look magical at all. All we can say is that the prince has an amazing physique..."

"Don't talk! Look, the prince is moving again!"

While talking.

Liu Ju's other leg started moving again, and like the previous leg, it slowly lifted up, gradually bending the knee upward, and finally stopped in a cross-legged sitting position.

He just sat down in mid-air so easily? !
And when this leg also moves.

Liu Ju's body was completely suspended in the air. Except for the hand that was holding the staff, no part of his body was still connected to the ground.

And his other hand seemed extremely relaxed, as if he was just lightly holding the scepter without exerting any strength at all.

Besides, what if I used force?
Is there anyone who can fly into the air with just one hand and a staff that can't even stand up without support?

"oh--!"

Therefore, when Liu Ju's second leg just left the ground, a scream was heard in the arena.

Almost everyone who could see the scene on the stage opened their eyes wide at this moment, craned their necks forward, and had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Isn't this the legendary "riding on the clouds"? !
"Cousin?!"

Huo Guang was so surprised that he couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Even though he could normally remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, this situation made it impossible for him to remain calm.

This scene is simply incredible!
Even at this moment, there was a hint of strangeness in Huo Guang's eyes when he looked at Liu Ju.

Is this really the Liu Ju he knows?
Or in other words, Liu Ju, who has become an immortal, is still the original cousin?
But he clearly remembered that before the "ceremony" started, Liu Ju was smiling at him and called him "cousin" without considering his feelings.

"Ah?! The prince has really become an immortal..."

Gongsun Qing's heart beat faster with fear, and his eyes were as big as cow's eyes.

He knew clearly that he was a liar.

But he had complete faith in Liu Ju, because he had seen many alchemists' methods, and no alchemist who could be called a "human" could perform magic like Liu Ju's!

This is definitely a magical technique that no mortal being can achieve!
"???!!!"

Sima Qian's brows furrowed even tighter, and had quietly twisted into knots.

He can not understand!

I really don’t understand it at all!
As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Now he has almost completed the journey of ten thousand miles, but when he came here today, he felt that the journey he had made before was in vain...

But at this moment, Li Guangli once again fully exerted his subjective initiative and deliberately asked loudly:

"Your Highness, would you allow me to crawl under you so that I can personally experience your magic skills and let the elders and villagers see it clearly?"

　Thanks to Mr. [What’s the point of not allowing duplicate nicknames] for his reward and support.
