It is not a group of ignorant brats outside, following Taoist Master Xu Ping. It has wider knowledge than many practitioners.
The new senior brothers and sisters of the Lingshan sect are all carefully selected by the elders of the sect, and all of them have excellent cultivation qualifications.
The first step is to practice and enter the Tao, which can take as little as ten days and a half month, or as much as several years.
Entering the Tao depends purely on talent and opportunity.
That night when the lunar moonlight set, the little ghost boy was not surprised that his senior brother entered Taoism for the first time in his practice.
The master has a very vicious eye and has long known about the senior brother's cultivation qualifications on the pretext of "checking the physical dangers of the senior brother."
Been following for a long time.
It’s not surprising that the senior brother is so talented.
But...cultivation is a grind.
From entering the Tao to possessing the power of Taoism.
It usually takes more than a month for Lingshan sect disciples at the fastest, and my own senior brother has only been practicing for a few days.
"Senior brother, is it true or false?"
The kid didn't believe it.
Chu Chen smiled.
After swallowing the "Moon Demon" spirit, signs of mana grew in his body.
In the past few days, I have collected the energy of the sun every day and balanced the yin and yang energy in my body. Finally, a trace of mana was born.
"I have the power of Taoism, but it's a pity that I can't write the food-sprinkling talisman or the food-sprinkling spell. You should sleep well at home and don't think too much about it."
Chu Chen touched the little devil's head.
It has a cool air and is very comfortable. It is a must-have for relieving the heat and enjoying the coolness at home.
The kid slapped his senior brother's dirty hand off with a look of surprise on his face.
"Senior brother, I know the food sprinkling spell and I will teach you."
"No, I'm a ghost. I can't recite this spell, otherwise I might turn myself into nectar."
After muttering a few words, the little ghost boy suddenly disappeared.
Soon it came back, found a pen and paper, dipped the pen in ink, and swiped out a line of spells.
"Brother, this is an important spell for soldiers and horses. The food-sprinkling spell and the food-sprinkling talisman are marching food. With these, you can summon soldiers and horses to fight during the day. You must learn spells to raise ghosts."
After finishing writing, the little kid looked at his senior brother expectantly, hoping that he would become a dragon.
Whether you can get another long-term meal ticket depends on your senior brother.
Chu Chen became energetic.
The magic of soldiers and horses and the art of raising ghosts are among the spells he is most interested in.
[Spell of sprinkling food: This is an extraordinary offering, an offering of pure spiritual treasures. It is refined into fine wine to feed the ghosts. It is as urgent as Taiyi’s order to save the suffering.]
...
In Xin'an City, there is a constant flow of people coming and going.
Chu Chen was wearing a blue Taoist robe and walking on the street.
The little ghost held an oil-paper umbrella with one hand and held Chu Chen's hand with the other. The sun was shining brightly, but he was full of energy and showed no sign of depression. He was jumping up and down, quite happy, showing his playful and lively nature.
of vividly.
Of course, outsiders can't see the little devil, so he can only entertain himself.
Before the Taoist priest went out, he left five strings of money for Chu Chen.
To be honest, it's not a lot of money.
However, if you don’t have to pay for daily expenses and only use it for daily necessities, it is quite generous.
In the past two days, Chu Chen wandered around and bought a variety of food and gadgets for less than three hundred dollars.
This proves another point - on the importance of holding the thigh.
I was walking along the streets of Dongshi when I saw dozens of people gathered in a circle, shouting and cheering constantly.
"Brother, there are jugglers there!"
The little ghost pulled Chu Chen into the crowd.
Come to the stall.
The stall owner looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but he was a bit hunched over, resembling a frail old man.
"Come, come, come, put money into my precious wooden box, and the fairy boy from heaven will come down to earth to sing and dance. Come, come, come, the rich will support you with money, and the poor will support you with personal entertainment."
The stall is not big, but the shouts are loud.
In front of the stall owner, there is a wooden box, about one foot high.
Not to mention, there was a real "Master Qian" who threw a handful of copper coins into the small opening in the middle of the wooden box without saying a word.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden box made no movement.
The stall owner smiled and said: "Money can make the world go round, and Fairy Boy is no exception. Come, come, come, the rich will give you money..."
"Whoosh!"
Coins were scattered all over the sky, making a jingling sound.
This time, the wooden box finally started to move.
Sure enough, a little man crawled out of the small mouth of the wooden box.
The villain is very short, less than one foot, with red lips and white teeth, and is full of elegance. He is dressed like a fairy boy, very much like the fairy boy image depicted in the temple murals.
The little man dances and sings, with graceful dancing and moving singing.
The passers-by around him clapped their hands and cheered loudly.
After the dance, the villain got into the wooden box again.
The stall owner started shouting again, trying to trick people around him into making money.
"Wow!"
Throw coins all over the sky.
The little man came out again and danced again and again...
...
More and more people gathered around, making it very lively.
Chu Chen didn't pay much attention at first, just looking at the excitement.
He has also seen dwarf pocket-sized people, it is not a strange thing.
It is also common for charlatans to make a living from dwarf acrobatics.
However, there is something strange about the little man in front of me and the wooden box!
If he has not entered the Tao and does not have the power of Taoism in his body, he will not be able to detect it.
At this moment, he felt it clearly.
Little man, there is a faint magical suction force in the wooden box, trying to suck something from his body into the wooden box.
He has a way of doing things that cannot be sucked away, and the passers-by who are watching may not be so lucky.
Is this a strange thing? Or is there something evil?
There's something weird about that wooden box!
Chu Chen's heart trembled, and without saying a word, he pulled the little devil out of the stall.
"Senior brother, why don't you watch it? I want to watch it again. The villain dances really well and the songs are nice. I want to watch it again."
The little devil is reluctant to leave.
Chu Chen ignored it, took the little kid with him, turned around the corner, and walked directly towards the center of the city.
When encountering supernatural things involving ghosts and spirits, the first choice is naturally the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
However, Chu Chen learned that all the elite officials from the Department of Ghosts and Gods were taken out of the city by the Taoist priest, and they could not find anyone there.
Even ghosts and gods can't control the situation, so the only option is to go to the government.
As a Taoist disciple, Chu Chen actually met Magistrate Xu.
County Magistrate Xu heard Chu Chen's narration, and he immediately realized something was wrong because of his rich experience in the world.
Without saying anything, he immediately ordered Dian Shi to lead the government officials to arrest the person.
Not long after, Dian Shi brought the hunchback stall owner and the wooden box man back to the Yamen, and put them in jail for examination.
The stall owner is very tough-talking and doesn't know what to ask. He pretends to be stupid and acts crazy.
Then, the interrogation of the villain began.
The villain didn't dare to say anything at first, but after repeated interrogations, the villain finally revealed his origins.
The villain was originally a boy from a neighboring county. On the way out of class, he was put in a sack by a stall owner and given some evil medicine. His body shrank suddenly and he transformed into a miniature dwarf.
After some training from the stall owner, the villain learned a lot of martial arts tricks, and from then on he went around performing tricks and making profits for the stall owner.
County magistrates Xu Wei and Chu Chen were furious when they heard what happened to the villain.
This hunchbacked stall owner is so bad that he leaks pus, and he’s a damn pickled thing!
"You bastard! What do you have to say?"
Magistrate Xu was so angry that he slapped his hands on the wall and pointed angrily at the stall owner.
The hunchback stall owner was so frightened that he fell to his knees and cried bitterly:
"Master County Magistrate, the common people are also forced to have no choice..."
