Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 45: Punishing the Daoist Taiping
As the Taoist's voice fell, the other two Taoists added fuel to the pot.

The Taoist in the middle was muttering something, holding a few pills in his hand, and was about to put them into the oil pan. Zhao Qian had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the Taoist's wrist.

"Who are you? What are your intentions?" the Taoist shouted.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said: "This county is the county magistrate of Yi County, and he has a heart for Taoism. I don't know what the pill is in the hands of the celestial master?"

"This is the soul-fixing pill, let me put it in the oil pan, and it will stop the evil spirit." The Taoist said with a vow.

Zhao Qian raised his mouth and said, "This county is willing to assist the celestial master to complete the ritual, in order to repay the county's heart for Taoism."

"This……"

Without waiting for the Taoist to react, Zhao Qian snatched the so-called soul-fixing pill all at once.

The Taoist was in a hurry and said, "Put the soul-fixing pill into the hot oil!"

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No rush, the oil temperature is not enough at this time, when the oil boils, it will not be too late to put the soul-fixing pill in."

After a while, the hot oil was tumbling and steaming, and Zhao Qian put the pill in his hand into the oil, and the boiling momentum increased greatly.

"Tianshi, please." Zhao Qian smiled.

The Taoist was already dripping with cold sweat, looking at the boiling oil pan, he didn't dare to put his hands in it.

"This method is the most taboo to be interrupted, this time it can only fail." The Taoist said forcefully.

Zhao Qian laughed, and said: "The magistrate of this county actually understood the way to cure evil after watching this ceremony. Come here, get another pot of hot oil, and this county will demonstrate it in person."

"What? The county magistrate will do the same?"

"Is this true? Our county magistrate can still spell?"

"I believe that our county magistrate has great powers, why not?"

The people in Yi County were discussing a lot, soldiers and government servants had already re-started the pot and poured oil.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly. The oil pan had just been burning for a while, and Zhao Qian quickly put the Taoist's soul-fixing pill in it. After a while, the oil pan boiled.

Zhao Qian snatched the talisman paper from the Taoist's hand again, then held the talisman paper in his hand, and stretched it towards the oil pan.

The people around fell silent for an instant, quietly watching Zhao Qian's hand reaching for the oil pan, which contained boiling hot oil.

"Brother, don't be reckless." Zhao Yun hurriedly reminded.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about Zilong, let's treat evil for my brother!"

As he said that, Zhao Qian plunged his hand into the boiling oil, and the people around him unconsciously exclaimed in unison.

However, Zhao Qian acted as if nothing had happened, and turned the talisman into the boiling oil a few times, just like washing his hands normally.

"It's amazing, our county magistrate really has supernatural powers!"

"Master Zhao, could it be that the gods descended to earth?"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel amused. As he felt the temperature of the oil in his hands gradually rise, Zhao Qian took out his hands.

"Tianshi Daoist, how is it? How is the county's ability to cure evil?" Zhao Qian stared at the Taoist and teased.

The Taoist didn't know at this moment that his little tricks had been seen through, so he had to forcefully say: "I don't know that the county magistrate has such supernatural powers. It's really a trick, so we will leave now."

"Leave? When you come to Yi County to bluff and spread superstition, what should you do!" Zhao Qian sternly shouted.

The three Taoists were startled, and quickly said: "Didn't your lord just use talismans to cure evil spirits? Why do you say we are bluffing and deceiving?"

Zhao Qian snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Listen, folks, this oil pot to cure evil spirits is a lie!"

"Huh? What? Liar?"

"No way, that's hot oil! Ordinary people would dare to put their hands in it."

"The county magistrate said it was a lie, so it probably is."

"But a few days ago, these Taoists cured my illness, although it cost a lot of money."

"Didn't Fan Wu'er's illness not be cured?"

"That's his insincerity!"

The people in Yi County were in an uproar after hearing Zhao Qian's words. Some believed and some did not believe. Zhao Qian couldn't help frowning.

"Everyone, please listen to the words of this county and expose the deception of evil spirit control!" Zhao Qian said loudly again.

The surrounding people calmed down and looked at Zhao Qian, wanting to know the reason.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said: "The problem lies in the Dinghun Pill. The Dinghun Pill is actually a mineral called 'borax'. Borax will produce a lot of air bubbles when heated, so when it is put into oil, it will There will be a tumbling and boiling appearance, but the oil temperature is still low at this time, and it will not hurt your hands at all."

"It turned out to be like this. No wonder the Taoist didn't dare to put his hand into the oil pan just now. It turned out that the oil was really boiling."

"These Taoists have no magic power at all, we have been fooled!"

Seeing that some people had suddenly realized it, Zhao Qian continued: "As for Fu Shui's treatment of illness, it is even more nonsense. If the illness is cured, it is due to oneself. If it is not good, it is not sincere. It is really absurd Nothing more than this!"

"Aha! So that's the case! My old Zhang thought he could really catch ghosts and cure evil spirits? So it's all a lie, huh!" Zhang Fei said angrily while staring at the Taoist.

Zhao Yun also clasped his fists and said, "Brother's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he can see through the tricks of thieves. I don't know how I will deal with these swindling Taoists."

When the three Taoists heard this, they knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, we dare not lie to others anymore, please bypass us, my lord, we will never dare to set foot in Yi County again."

Zhao Qian's purpose is nothing more than to let the people in his county recognize the deception of Taipingdao, so as not to be deceived, and when the Yellow Turban riots, there will be no civil strife.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it is useless to kill these three little Taoist priests. It is better to let them go, so as to prevent other Taiping Taoists from coming to Yi County again.

Zhao Qian snorted heavily, and shouted: "This county wants to take your life, but seeing that you and others have also cured several diseases, I have the right to save you from death."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I will leave now, and I dare not come again." The Taoists kowtowed one after another, and were about to get up and run away.

"Wait!" Zhao Qian yelled, "Although capital crimes are forgiven, life crimes are hard to forgive! Come on, drag the general down, one person will be punished with twenty sticks, and he will be blasted out of the county!"

The soldiers next to him led the order and dragged aside the three Taoists who begged for mercy loudly, pressed them to the ground, and executed them on the spot.

For the mournful cry of the three Taoists, the people of Yi County not only showed no pity, but also kept applauding. They all felt that Zhao Qian's punishment was too light, and this was the fate of a liar.

After the twenty sticks were beaten, the three Taoists were powerless to ask for help. Zhao Qian walked over and said: "This county has heard about your Taiping Dao. I hope you can take care of it yourself. Get out!"

The three Taoists escaped from Yi County as if they had been pardoned.
