After the ceremony was over, the emperor kept the three people behind and ordered people to bring melons, fruits, tea and wine. He also wanted to continue to ask for advice on the method of immortality.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone three masters gathered together. The atmosphere was already a bit awkward. Li Jiuzhou watched the excitement and did not mind it. He said: "I have heard about the reputation of the three masters for a long time, and I am also curious. I wonder what the masters have."

By what means."

The emperor was in high spirits and smiled slightly: "I am ignorant, so the three of you showed your skills casually to let this kid know something."

The three of them are all experts. They don't show off easily and refuse with their mouths.

Secretly, they started to compete again.

Luo Gongyuan was the first to show his hand.

He walked to the chessboard aside, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and held them in his hand. He turned to Zhang Guolao and asked with a smile: "Mr. Tongxuan, guess how many chess pieces I have in my hand."

When he saw the two immortals beginning to fight, Li Jiuzhou came closer and watched intently, fearing that he would miss something.

The emperor and Gao Lishi also stood up and looked at it with interest, but Vajra Tripitaka was still sitting there, sipping tea unhurriedly.

Zhang Guolao smiled like a child: "Not even one."

Luo Gongyuan moved very quickly when he grabbed the chess pieces. Although it only happened in the blink of an eye, everyone could see clearly that he had indeed grabbed a handful of chess pieces.

However, Zhang Guolao said that he had no chess pieces in his hand, so he must have seen it wrong.

Luo Gongyuan laughed loudly and slowly stretched out his palm, revealing five black and white chess pieces.

Zhang Guolao guessed wrong, and everyone turned to look at him, wanting to see his expression at this time.

The smile on Zhang Guolao's face looked mysterious, as he just looked at Luo Gongyuan's palm.

Everyone followed his gaze again.

Gao Lishi took the lead and let out an audible sound. Just now, there were five chess pieces in Luo Gongyuan's hands. In the blink of an eye, none of them were gone. Luo Gongyuan's palm was empty.

Luo Gongyuan and Zhang Guolao looked at each other and laughed.

"You two have profound Taoist teachings and should be bestowed upon them." The emperor ordered people to fetch the gold, and each of them was rewarded with a piece of gold.

Originally it was just for fun, Luo Gongyuan and Zhang Guolao must not have really revealed themselves, but they have already made people feel that they are unfathomable.

Vajra Tripitaka on the side was a little unconvinced. When the emperor saw it, he said to him: "Why don't the eminent monk also do a method to make me happy?"

Vajra Tripitaka stood up and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Luo Gongyuan stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what spell Master Tripitaka is planning to use?"

Seeing that he asked about it, Vajra Tripitaka said: "I ask Mr. Luo to take this cassock from me. If I get it, the poor monk loses. If I can't get it, it's Mr. Luo who loses."

Luo Gongyuan asked: "How to get it?"

Vajra Tripitaka replied: "You must open an altar to practice the Dharma."

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered people to set up a Buddhist altar. When the altar was set up, several people went to the courtyard to see what he was doing.

Vajra Tripitaka first burned incense, then placed the cassock in a silver box and then placed it in a wooden box. The wooden box was sealed and placed on the altar.

Vajra Tripitaka sat in lotus position on the altar and began to practice Dharma.

This scene made Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but think of the battle scene between Che and Chi in Journey to the West, and thought that even if this Vajra Tripitaka really had magic power, it wouldn't be as magical as the one in the novel.

The Vajra Tripitaka activated the incantation, and the more he recited it, the more urgent he became. After a while, he saw several Vajra groups surrounding the wooden box, and the surroundings were very tight.

Could it be that he was dazzled? Li Jiuzhou rubbed his eyes vigorously and then confirmed that what he saw was true.

Luo Gongyuan was talking and laughing as usual, so everyone turned their attention to Luo Gongyuan to see how he was going to get the cassock.

After a long time, when he saw that he had not moved, the emperor asked: "Why is Zhenren Luo so slow to move? Is it because the cassock is difficult to get?"

Luo Gongyuan looked calm and spoke in a low voice: "I don't dare to boast about my ability, and I don't know if I can get it. I just ask the mage to open it and take a look."

Seeing what he said, Vajra Tripitaka stopped his incantation, and the Vajras surrounding the wooden box disappeared in an instant.

Vajra Tripitaka opened the heavily sealed wooden box and saw that the silver box inside the wooden box was not moved at all. He was very pleased with it.

When he slowly opened the silver box, everyone saw it and were naturally surprised.

Vajra Tripitaka shouted, but he no longer knew where the cassock was. It was just an empty box.

When I looked at the Vajra Tripitaka again, my face turned earth-colored and I was speechless for a long time.

The emperor clapped his hands and applauded, but Li Jiuzhou frowned and wondered what kind of spell this was and where the secret was.

Luo Gongyuan said to the emperor: "Please send someone to Mr. Tongxuan's house to open the cabinet and get it."

The emperor looked at Gao Lishi, who hurriedly asked Zhang Guolao where the inner room was, and then ordered someone to get it.

Sure enough, the chamberlain found the cassock in the cabinet in Zhang Guo's old house.

How did Luo Gongyuan do it?

It's like watching a magic show and always racking your brains to think about how he did it.

At this time, not only Li Jiuzhou was curious, the emperor was also very curious, and asked Luo Gongyuan: "I saw several Vajras protecting the box before. It was so tight. What magic did you use to take out the cassock under Vajra's eyes?"

of."

Luo Gongyuan said: "The Bodhisattva Warrior is among the saints, the gods of armor and soldiers, and the little one of the Tao. As for the supreme and true wonder, it is not something that magicians can know. I just made the Jade True Girl take it. Although there is the Bodhisattva King Kong,

I can't even see her form, so it's easy to get her."

This statement made Li Jiuzhou very disappointed. It was obviously a cover-up, but after saying it for a long time, everyone focused on the gods and ghosts.

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered people to bring gold, silver and jewels as rewards to Luo Gongyuan.

Several people laughed and entered the house. Vajra Tripitaka lost the battle and stood outside the house depressed.

When Li Jiuzhou saw this, he walked over and said, "Master, don't be upset. What Luo Zhenren used is just a blinding trick. Moreover, Taoism and Buddhism each have their own strengths."

King Kong Tripitaka then turned to look at Li Jiuzhou, stared at him for a long time, as if he had seen something, and said in shock: "Where did you come from?"

These words confused Li Jiuzhou, so he could only answer: "I am a descendant of Duke Wei."

Vajra Tripitaka said oh, said no more, and went into the house.

The emperor also felt that he had just elevated Luo Gongyuan and alienated Vajra Tripitaka, so he found a topic and asked him: "I heard that the Master is from the Lion Kingdom."

Vajra Tripitaka replied: "Although the poor monk is from the Lion Kingdom, he travels to the Western Regions all year round. Not long ago, he came from the Western Regions with the convoy of Gao Jiedu Envoy."

Seeing him talking about Gao Jiedushi, Li Jiuzhou hurriedly asked: "The Master mentioned Gao Jiedushi, is that Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi?"

"Exactly." Vajra Tripitaka nodded and said.

"I wonder how the war in the Western Region is going?" Li Jiuzhou asked.

"The poor monk is a foreigner. He doesn't know about the war at the border."

Only then did the emperor think of state affairs. After the Battle of Henglus, he didn't know what the current situation was like on the border. Since Gao Xianzhi came to the capital, he should be summoned to ask questions.

So he settled the three saints first and ordered people to summon Gao Xianzhi to come and see him.
