Chapter 44: The Liar
Or eat too well during the Chinese New Year, the delicious meals of the Li family make Shen Huan unable to raise a little appetite, an early spring thunderstorm afternoon, Shen Huan came to the tea stall in the city and ordered a cup of tea and sat down, drinking all-you-can-drink tea foam, Shen Huan felt that the whole stomach was empty! It makes people feel a lot of energy!
Although the tenth day of the new year has passed, the Shangyuan Festival will also come, so the people in Jiangyin City have not decreased with the passing of the New Year, but have become more and more! There are many artists who see the lively scene in the city, and they also take this opportunity to leave the scene here! In the past few days, it has opened the eyes of the people in the city!
Drinking tea and watching juggling, don't have a taste! However, Shen Huan found that there was a place not far away that was different from other juggling teams! There were obviously a lot more people gathered in them than anywhere else! A cursory sweep is almost all human heads! I'm afraid there are hundreds of people! And even more!
Although there are a lot of people, but fortunately, the stage is also very high, which will not obstruct the line of sight at all, and it didn't take long for Shen Huan to know that there were more people there than others! Almost all of the people performing on that stage were monks! Although they are monks, their dress is completely different from that of local Chinese monks! Although they also wore robes, the style was more like that of India and Persia! I saw these monks performing all kinds of acrobatics while chanting scriptures, such as chest smashing boulders, swallowing fire, burning the whole body, etc., almost all of them were some high-risk actions! The exotic atmosphere combined with wonderful acrobatics is what attracts this person!
After the wonderful performance, the monks did not retreat to the back of the stage, and soon after a group of women dressed as fairy girls poured out from the backstage, these women were different from those monks, completely dressed in the Central Plains, and stood on both sides of the stage with those monks. At this moment, the curtain behind the stage was also slowly raised, and I saw a person who appeared out of nowhere, and landed in the middle of the stage from the sky! This scene made the people below scream again and again......
The man stood in the middle of the stage, holding a cane in his hand, and his white cloth robe was unusually wide and almost completely enveloped him! Even the hat on his head was so long that it covered the man's entire face, and it was impossible to see what he looked like! The whole person exudes an aura of mystery......
Ever since the white-robed man appeared, the expressions of those monks had completely changed, and everyone's expressions were not only extremely solemn, but there was also a hint of fanaticism in their eyes! And those fairy girls also grabbed a handful of lotus petals from the flower basket at this moment and scattered them into the sky! In front of everyone's eyes, they saw that the white-robed man let go of his crutches and sat cross-legged in the air like this! Seeing that the white robe was empty, the onlookers below couldn't help but exclaim again and again! Some even said it was a miracle!
When the white-robed man put one hand in front of his knees, raised the other, and both hands were in the shape of flowers, all the monks and fairy aunts knelt down to the white-robed man with fanatical expressions at this moment, raised their hands to the sky, and shouted in unison: "Maitreya came to the world to save all sentient beings!" The Holy Maiden is here to avoid all evils! ”
"All beings are suffering... All beings are equal... The end is coming... Maitreya was born to save the world......" The voice of the white-robed man was very low, and he couldn't hear whether it was a man or a woman, but from the mouths of those people, Shen Huan still knew that this white-robed man should be a woman......
As soon as the white-robed man finished speaking, a group of people who were waiting on the side early ran to the stage carrying a stretcher, bowed three times and bowed to the white-robed man, and prayed to him that the holy woman could save his relatives!
At this moment, someone in the crowd recognized the group, "Huh? Isn't this the old three families in the south of the city? What are they doing here? What's wrong with this Zeng Laosan? Why is it lying on it like you're dying? ”
In the midst of everyone's discussions, I saw the third daughter-in-law of Zeng Lao kneeling under the high platform, crying and begging at the top: "Ask the holy daughter of Maitreya to save my father-in-law!" My family is poor, and there are children waiting to be fed, and now my father-in-law is suffering from an incurable disease, if this is gone, how will our family live in the future...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Get up, don't worry, your sufferings are already known to Maitreya, give medicine ......"
After the white-robed man finished speaking, he saw a fairy girl respectfully step forward and take a pill from her hand, jump off the high platform and land in front of Zeng Laosan's family! The high platform is three feet high, and ordinary people will be disabled if they jump from it and don't die! But the fairy girl didn't have anything! This made everyone on the lookers stunned......
Carefully holding the medicine in both hands, he came to Zeng Laosan's daughter-in-law, only to hear the fairy aunt say to her: "This is the magic medicine given by Maitreya, and your husband will be cured immediately after taking it!"
After taking the pill, he opened his mouth and fed the pill in, Zeng Laosan seemed to chew very hard, but not long after he swallowed the pill, something happened that surprised everyone! I saw Zeng Laosan sit up from the stretcher suddenly, and kept touching himself with incredible eyes, as if he couldn't believe that his illness was so good! It wasn't until his family reminded him that he took his family to kowtow to the white-robed man on the stage to thank him!
Seeing that Zeng Laosan was healed like this, an old man who seemed to know Zeng Laosan was shocked, "This is really amazing!" I remember that Zeng Laosan's illness was very serious, and the doctors in the city all asserted that he would die in a few days! I didn't expect to be saved like this! This is really mana! ”
The old man's words seemed to have resonated with some people, and at this time some very superstitious old ladies were already kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, still chanting "Maitreya blessed...... With these examples, the herd effect immediately became apparent, and slowly some people joined in and spread to all of them......
Looking at the people below who bowed to him, the white-robed man also folded his hands and made a voice at the right time, "All living beings are suffering... All beings are equal... The end is coming... Maitreya was born to save the world......"
Soon these words spread among the crowd under the guidance of the white-robed people and those monks and fairy aunts, and everyone folded their hands and followed them reverently and reverently. Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Huan felt that something was wrong! What kind of juggling team is this! This is clearly some swaggering liar! And that Zeng Laosan is just their trust! And I'm afraid that there are a lot of trusts like Zeng Laosan in the crowd!
The trick performed by the white-robed man was very clumsy in Shen Huan's opinion! This is just a trick, he once saw this magic decryption on the video website, although it looks no different from other crutches, but it has been modified, on the top of the crutches is installed a wooden or iron plate for the performer to sit on, and the wide white robe can not only make the performer look more mysterious, but can also play a role in shielding, so that the audience really thinks that the performer is suspended in the air!
Shen Huan is well aware of the terrible things about witches and gods, who often do anything for money! In order to maximize their own interests, they often prevent patients from seeking medical treatment, so there are many patients whose diseases can be cured, but because of such people's greed, they give up their lives in vain! Looking at this scene now, Shen Huan doesn't know how many people have been mutilated by them!
Thinking of this, in order not to let more people be deceived by them, Shen Huan decided to come forward to debunk their tricks! However, there are so many people here at this time that if you are not careful, you will get into it! Seeing that the white-robed man got down from the stage and left here, Shen Huan decided to secretly follow her behind! As long as they follow her and find their lair, with their right to act as the magistrate, they can completely let Xing Zhutou wipe them out! As long as people get stolen goods, are you afraid that the crimes of these people will not be exposed?
The white-robed man didn't walk fast, as if he didn't know that someone was following him, but Shen Huan followed her for a long time and didn't notice that the white-robed man had the slightest intention of wanting to stop......
Unconsciously, she had gone out of the city, Shen Huan followed her to a village, this village Shen Huan knew, the name is Dafeng Village, but this Dafeng Village is not as auspicious as its name, Dafeng Village is located at the mouth of a river, a flood a few years ago washed away the entire village, although the villagers have moved to another river not far away to rebuild a new village, but there are still a few old people who can't walk here......
Follow the white-robed man to a dilapidated thatched hut, and it seems that there is no need to knock on the door, and the people inside know that someone is coming! I saw a little girl running out of the house, giggling at the white-robed man, and affectionately calling her fairy sister!
Hearing this word, Shen Huan's heart chuckled, and secretly said that it was not good! It seems to be a little late after all! There are still people who have been seduced by this witch!
Watching the little girl bring the white-robed man into the house, Shen Huan waited outside for a while, and immediately rushed in after not finding any other accomplices! However, the moment he entered the house, he was a little stunned......
Beauty! Absolutely beautiful! The eyebrows are picturesque, the lips are red, and the delicate face is like the most perfect masterpiece of heaven! The body curve is even more perfect, no more than a point, no less than a point! Those eyes are also like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people feel dreamlike......
"Fairy ......" Shen Huan let out a stunned exclamation......
"Big brother, who are you?"
The little girl's voice woke Shen Huan up suddenly, he had never seen such a beautiful woman! I was stupid for a while...... It wasn't until he saw the white robe on the table that he realized that the woman in front of him was actually the witch!
