Chapter 38: Tentacles Spring

Nothing.

Wrong! The scent was so close to him that it couldn't be that far away.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, and strangely enough, the closer his gaze was to Shi Shazhu, the stronger the scent. As his gaze passed by Shi Shazhu's side, the scent reached its peak.

The stone looked helplessly at the face that annoyed him the most, and that face was always smiling, as if laughing at his saliva all over the ground, or working in vain.

"Are you looking for this roast chicken?" Shi Shazhu raised his right hand in front of the stone.

The stone didn't have time to be surprised, so he reached out and grabbed the roast chicken, pulled a chicken leg, and stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately. He was not satisfied because he ate too quickly, and he ripped off another chicken leg and gnawed on it.

This time, he felt all the color and fragrance, and asked while eating with satisfaction: "Where did this roast chicken come from?" The temple has also opened for meat? ”

"Hehe, what else do you want to eat?" Shi Shazhu's smile seemed to hide a huge trap.

"Of course, the food is paired with good wine."

"You wait! Look here, in addition to roast chicken, there will also be fine wine. Shi Shazhu smiled and pointed to his outstretched right hand. He grabbed it in the air a few times, then clenched it into a fist and put it in front of the stone: "Did you say that the wine is in my fist now?" ”

"How is that possible? With such a small fist, how can it hold a pot of wine? Redstone stared at Shishazhu's fist, which was smaller than his, and his nose erupted with a scornful breath that had turned several corners.

"Hahaha, my fist can hold anything, don't believe it." Shi Shazhu stretched out his left hand to cover his right fist, and then slowly removed his left hand from his right fist like a fig leaf. When he opened his right fist again, a jug of wine rested on his palm.

"You...... Where did this wine come from? Stone was so startled that he almost bit his tongue, but luckily his mouth was stuffed with chicken.

"Hahaha! What else would you like to eat? ”

"Pig intestine!" This is a favorite of stones.

Shi Shazhu spread out a hand in front of the stone and said, "Attention! His hand slid freely through the air like a mirror. The stone's head involuntarily swayed with the thin, shriveled hand.

Caught off guard, Shi Shazhu reached out and grabbed it, and when he released his mysterious fist, a small packet of braised pig's large intestine sat firmly in the palm of his hand, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

This smell, he doesn't know how many times he thought about it today. But at this moment, his appetite was suppressed by indescribable surprise, and all the doubts in his heart could not wait to be answered.

"You...... How did you conjure them up? ”

"Didn't I tell you I had a craft?" Shi Shazhu put the braised large intestine into the stone's hand.

"The art of changing things?" Stone Eyes presents a variety of street performers, their unique skills are amazing, but they lack the urge to decipher.

"Well, don't you want to learn now?" Shi Shazhu exudes a sense of pride.

"Learn! I want to learn! I want to learn now! The stone swallowed the chicken and began to taste a new round of deliciousness.

"Hahaha! It is your blessing that you and I know each other, and it is also my blessing, and there are successors! Shi Shazhu put his arm around the stone's shoulder, almost in tears, like a father of a lost child who had finally found his son as he wished.

At night, the Elephant Mountain is no longer calm, the cold autumn wind howls in the forest, and the darkness bubbles like flowing water.

Shi Shazhu sat on the threshold and looked up at the starry sky, his surging heart was as unstoppable as his surroundings.

His mind traveled non-stop for the past twenty years, and there was never a moment of these memories forgotten by him, never a corner of which he had forgotten.

He is from Goryeo, his parents died young, and he lives with an older sister and a younger brother.

One rainy spring day, his sister told him and his brother that she had met a man in the Central Plains and was in love with him, and although this man already had a family, she would do whatever it took to marry the Central Plains.

He couldn't dissuade his sister's stubbornness, and sent his sister away in the pain of life and death.

In the days that followed, the brother and sister often corresponded, and he knew that his sister's life was going well, and he finally let go of his anxiety.

On another rainy spring day, he received the message that his sister had jumped off a cliff and died, two years after her sister gave birth to her third child.

He concluded that all this was due to his brother-in-law, and with a sense of resentment and blind courage, he came to the Central Plains alone, intending to avenge his sister.

After several inquiries, he finally learned that his brother-in-law was powerful, and not only could he not kill him, but it was extremely difficult to get close to him.

When he was disheartened, the lord of the Jiuli Gang appeared by chance. He promised to avenge him, and in exchange he had to obey him and wait at least twenty years.

He had no choice but to say yes.

He knew that twenty years was not a long time, and his opponent was too strong, and if he was helpless, he would not be able to defeat his opponent in his life.

The leader of the Jiuli Gang asked him to sneak near Haihui Temple, become friends with Zhiyin, monitor his every move, and inquire about the whereabouts of Shennong's whip.

He didn't know why the Lord wanted to get the Shennong whip, and he didn't know the grievances and hatreds of the Shennong Palace. All his contact with the Lord is transmitted through carrier pigeons, and the only thing he has to do is complete obedience.

In the past twenty years, Shi Shazhu has not found any clues about Shennong's whip, but his lurking is not meaningless.

Not long ago, the Lord assigned him a new task: to assist Nong Qingyun.

From the moment he met Nong Qingyun, Shi Shazhu knew that Nong Qingyun was a person who would never stop if he did not achieve his goal. Since Nong Qingyun asked him to introduce Zhiyin, he deliberately made things difficult.

Who would be suspicious of something that was hard-won?

Shi Shazhu plans to maneuver between Nong Qingyun and Nong Qingshan, and even act as their close friends, so as to unexpectedly get the coveted Shennong whip.

Before Shi Shazhu set off for Haihui Temple with Nong Qingyun, Nong Tieshu and Shishi, the carrier pigeon brought him four words: "Zhiyin daughter".

He did the job brilliantly. Nong Qingshan unreservedly confided the secret of Shennong's whip in front of him, Nong Qingyun welcomed the senior brother back to Shennong Palace, and a bloody storm had begun.

In addition to this, he has found a unique heir.

Stone has always been interested in new and interesting things.

He waited ecstatically to be greeted with the mystery of the skill that had become legendary in his mind, and without restraint he imagined the astonished look and enthusiastic cheers of the three-year-old and the eighty-year-old man when he saw his elusive technique.

"Master," Shi Shi changed his name to him without Shi Shazhu's consent, "how did you come up with that plate of pig's intestines, that roast chicken, and that pot of wine last night?" Where are they hidden by you? ”

"In the dark. Didn't you see them all? I just reached out and grabbed at the dark place, and they came out. "Shi Shazhu is careless.

"If they are in the dark and you don't catch them, they will fall to the ground!"

"No, I summoned them, and they will appear."

"There's a spell, right?" Stone has also seen one or two tricks in the capital.

He thought that the tricksters must have hidden something in their wide sleeves, or in their robes. He doesn't believe in a lie that can be made out of nothing.

But at this time, he had already fallen for the release of Shazhu.

"Yes, every word I said at the time was a mantra."

"Every word?" Stone racked his brains to remember. He remembered that Shi Shazhu asked him to look at his right hand, and then what he wanted appeared inexplicably.

"You didn't say anything, you just let me see!"

"That's the spell!"

"This ...... Then I'll give it a try, I'll show you, can you change what I want to change? ”

"Of course you can't, it takes a long time to practice, and some people can't even change it for a lifetime. But don't worry, since you are my apprentice, you will not return empty-handed. ”

"Can you really conjure things out of thin air? Can some money-grubbers conjure mountains of gold if they want gold? Some perverts want the most beautiful woman in the world, can they conjure Shih Tzu and Diao Chan? ”

"Well, since you've used so many brains, let's start the first lesson today. Confuse the real with the fake. ”

"Fake for real?"

"That's right! Juggling is all about acting so that the audience feels that what is happening in front of them is real and the opposite is true. ”

"You're saying it's a lie?"

"How is this a lie? It's just that you can also understand that you are hallucinating! Shi Shazhu was slightly stunned, even if he was good to the stone, when he heard the gratuitous insult to the trick, he couldn't help but get angry.

"No, Master, that's not what I meant, I'm just ......" Shi was a little anxious. Suddenly, he remembered his roast chicken, pig intestines, and fine wine, and said in a panic, "Master, did I eat those things last night?" ”

"You didn't know if you ate or not?"

"Didn't you say hallucinations? I don't know if I ate it or not! ”

"Hehe, I'm talking about hallucinations when you think they're conjured out of thin air, when in fact they're there, but you didn't see them."

"Where were they?" The more Shi listened, the more confused he became, "How can there be those things in the temple?" ”

"I brought it from here."

"Then, how do you know to bring pig intestines and roast chicken, and a pot of wine. What if I want you to change something else? "The stone hit the nail on the head, and he would not allow the slightest fool.

"Well, you asked about the essence of juggling. You ate with me for an hour, and in the chat, I got a general idea of what you like to eat. At that time, we didn't eat pig intestines and roast chicken, and we didn't drink alcohol, which I did on purpose. ”

Shi Shazhu's evil eyes revealed a smug look, as if a hunter saw the prey that had been baited.

"Before I went to Haihui Temple, I deliberately let you see the pig's intestines and roast chicken in the kitchen, as well as a pot of wine, these three things formed a very strong memory in your mind. When you're hungry and asked what you want to eat, you usually name these three things. ”
