Chapter 68
The noon sun was burning Qinyan Hall, and outside the courtyard, two servants set up a frying pan.

Tian Yidao stood in front of the frying pan, his loose sleeves were held by himself on his arms.

However, he threw the Witch Gu doll with the birth date engraved on it into the oil pan, and when the oil pan slowly heated up, the Witch Gu doll made a "crackling" burning sound.

Just now Shang Kelan asked if the leader of the Tianyi was going to put the oil in the pan, and the leader of the Tianyi unceremoniously agreed to her words.

At this moment, Shang Kelan was standing beside Tian Yidao, looking at him calmly.

When oily smoke came out of the pot, Tian Yidao clenched his long hands into fists, ready to get out of the oil pot to take out the Witch Doll.

Everyone looked at him nervously and slowed down their breathing.

At this quiet moment, only the sound of deep frying was heard, suddenly, Shang Kelan stretched out his hand to stop Tianyi Daochang!
Tian Yidao was furious, and turned to stare at her: "Chen Concubine, what do you mean?"

Concubine Hua also looked at Shang Kelan coldly and said, "Concubine Chen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you are afraid?"

Concubine Ning frowned, but said nothing.

The queen looked at her worriedly and said, "Concubine Chen, don't stop Tian Yiyi from casting spells!"

Obstructive sounds sounded at the same time, but Shang Kelan remained unmoved, just grabbed Tianyi's long and thin wrist, opened his fingers little by little, and took out a pack of yellow oil paper from inside.

Holding the triangular yellow oil paper bag in his hand, Shang Kelan seemed to have remembered something, and said to Tiandao: "If I remember correctly, the charlatans of the people will also use oil pans. To frighten the common people, the reason is either to exorcise evil spirits or to relieve evil spirits, and they often hold a bag of similar things in their hands before putting the oil into the pan."

After speaking in a leisurely manner, Shang Kelan deliberately paused for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, looked directly at the sky, and asked softly: "Dare to ask, the oil-paper bag contains borax? "
On the side, Master Sima, who had been watching from the sidelines and only watched the good show, couldn't help raising his eyebrows after hearing the words.

The rest of the people also looked at the head of the sky in surprise.

The queen mother frowned: "The sky is long, is it true what is contained in this oil paper bag?"

Concubine Hua didn't want the plan to be disrupted, so she immediately rescued Chief Tianyi and said, "Empress Dowager, this concubine Chen is clearly trying to argue, and deliberately poured dirty water on Chief Tianyi, we have all seen the ability of Chief Tianyi, How could she be a charlatan? And she is the Taoist priest of Zhongnanshan!"
Zhongnanshan's reputation among the people is still very good.

When the Queen Mother heard the words, the doubt in her eyes disappeared a bit, she waved her hand, and said, "That's it, let's move on to the next item!"

Chief Tianyi and Concubine Hua both breathed a sigh of relief, and then, Chief Tianyi said unhappily: "Next... Next, kill the demon with the sword!"

Seeing the loudness of what he said, everyone stepped back a few steps.

Only Shang Kelan was still standing beside Tian Yidao, never taking a step back.

I saw Tian Yiyi take out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, then took a sip of tea from the teacup, and after shouting for a while, suddenly...

"puff!"

Dense beads of tea spit out from Tianyi's long mouth and landed on the yellow paper.

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw a pattern of red grimaces appearing on the yellow paper, and this pattern was exactly the same as the grimaces that everyone saw in Lanyue Palace yesterday!
"Ah! It's the grimace from that day!"

"God, it's terrible!"

There was a cry of exclamation from the crowd, even the queen mother couldn't help being startled, the queen even showed a look of fear, and hurried back a few steps, fortunately Tao Xiang hurriedly supported her so that she didn't fall down.

The appearance of the grimace caused quite a stir.

Tian Yidao smiled triumphantly, held up the yellow paper and said: "Everyone, don't panic, since Poor Dao has made this ghost appear on the paper, just wait for Pin Dao to cut it off with a mahogany sword!"

As soon as the words fell, Tian Yidao raised the mahogany sword in his hand.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Shang Kelan reached out to stop him again, and without any hesitation, he took out another piece of yellow paper from Tian Yidao's arms.

The smile on Tian Yidao's face suddenly froze, and he quickly reached out and snatched the yellow paper from her hand.

He crumpled the yellow paper into a ball in panic and put it into his sleeves, then glared at Shang Kelan and said, "Concubine Chen, exorcising evil spirits is a major matter, how can I allow you to make nonsense over and over again?!"

Shang Kelan blinked, looked directly at him and said, "Master Dao, why are you angry? I just read it in the scriptures, and it said that if you use turmeric water to smear any shape on the alkali paper, When it dries, the smudge is invisible, but when water is applied, the pattern takes on a vermilion color, just as you have just done."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines who were still panicked and uneasy just now stopped whispering and looked at the sky in surprise.

There was a hint of anger in the Queen Mother's eyes, she looked directly at a long line that day and said: "Master, is what Chen Fei said true?"

On the side, Concubine Hua swallowed her saliva, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say at this time.

Tian Yidao was questioned by the queen mother, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop"!
I saw Tian Yidao kept kowtowing to the queen mother and begging for mercy: "The queen mother spares my life! The queen mother spares my life! I don't know why the concubine concubine Chen combined the deception of the charlatan with the spell of the poor Taoist to use To slander the poor, maybe... maybe the concubine Chen has a guilty conscience!"

When it was time for life and death, Chief Tianyi did not forget to pull Concubine Chen off the horse.

Zhizi's heart was filled with anger, her willow eyebrows stood on end, she couldn't help but stepped forward and pointed at him, "You!"

But as soon as she said a word, Shang Kelan raised her hand to stop her, looked down at the sky and said indifferently: "Who is guilty between us, let Master Sima of Qin Tianjian see your tricks!" Isn't it just the truth?"

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan handed the oiled paper bag and yellow paper to Lord Sima, and said gently and politely: "Master Sima, please identify whether this thing is borax and turmeric paper."

Master Sima took it, and opened the oiled paper bag to have a look. It was really fine borax inside; then, he tore off a corner of the turmeric paper, put it in his mouth, and then spit the paper scraps on the ground.

After a while, Lord Sima cupped his hands to Shang Kelan and the Queen Mother and said, "Report to Queen Mother and Concubine Chen, these two things are indeed borax and turmeric water."

As soon as these words came out, it was settled that Tian Yidao was a charlatan.

Kneeling on the ground, Tian Yichang trembled all over his body, leaned his body against his head, and begged for mercy, "One...the concubine Chen must have bribed Master Sima, and they teamed up to harm my reputation as a Taoist priest in Zhongnan Mountain!"

Hearing that he still dared to mention Zhongnan Mountain, Master Sima's eyes flashed a look of impatience, and asked him coldly: "You keep calling yourself a Taoist priest of Zhongnan Mountain, so do you know what the rules of Zhongnan Mountain Taoist temple are?"

"Yes Yes……"

These words are like a difficult problem, which stumps Tian Yidao!
