Chapter 34: Thaumaturgy
Tian Yangzi turned over and jumped off the horse, his body was as light as a fallen leaf, showing a very clever light body kung fu.
"That's the old way. When the apprentice and I saw the beautiful scenery on the road, we admired it for a while, so that you waited for a long time. ”
Hu Zhixian hurriedly said: "Where is the Taoist chief?" The Taoist is a master of the world, and the love of the mountains and rivers and the sound of the forest are the right way. If it weren't for the demons and ghosts in Ping'an County, how could they dare to bother the Taoist Dharma frame and delay the Taoist Yaxing. ”
Tian Yangzi said with a smile: "Hu Zhixian is really good at talking, I was ordered to come to subdue demons and collect ghosts, and I will bother you in the past few days."
Hu Zhixian said: "Where is it, the Taoist chief is here for the people, and he is a person with great ability, and we only have gratitude and welcome in Ping'an County, where will we be disturbed?"
The young woman on the horse said impatiently: "I said that you are not finished, and you have been standing at the door for a long time."
The faces of everyone at the entrance of the yamen changed slightly, and none of the people present had an official and a half-position, although they were only small officials with a big sesame seed, but they also had heads and faces in this county.
What is the identity of this young woman? also dared to speak in front of the magistrate, in front of everyone, and scolded him with a big grin.
Hu Zhixian was still smiling, and he didn't see any displeasure, "Look at me, patronizing and talking." The banquet inside has been set up, and the Taoist chief and this girl are invited to invite them. ”
Tian Yangzi turned around and beckoned to the young woman on the horse, "Good boy, come down quickly." ”
The young woman pouted and said coquettishly: "I can't get down, you hug me."
Tian Yangzi doted: "Okay, okay, you come down, I'll pick you up."
The young woman jumped from her horse and threw herself straight into Tian Yangzi's arms.
Tian Yangzi caught her steadily, and the two hugged each other.
Everyone at the entrance of the yamen was dumbfounded, listening to them call each other, the young woman was obviously Tian Yangzi's apprentice.
The two masters and apprentices hugged each other so closely in this large court, which really challenged everyone's ethics and morality.
Even if it is a legal husband and wife, it is unscrupulous to make love in public, under the morality of this era, let alone a pair of master and apprentice.
But at this time, who would be the first bird because of such a trivial matter.
The demons and monsters in the city still have to rely on Tian Yangzi to submit, and no one will jump out at this time without opening their eyes.
Everyone happily introduced Tian Yangzi and his female apprentice into the back office and set up a banquet.
The chef invited the chef of the best restaurant in the county, "Tianxiang Building", and he has been waiting for him in the back.
Seeing that everyone was coming, he immediately started work, and dishes with full color and aroma were served and put on the table.
It's steaming hot, and the aroma is very appetizing.
There were a total of three tables of banquets in the back office, and the people sitting were all people with heads and faces in the county government.
Fang Yue was arranged at the main table, and Tian Yangzi and Hu Zhixian were at the same table, probably for the convenience of talking about things and inquiring.
The banquet is staggered, and it is easy to win over feelings.
During this period, Tian Yangzi also introduced his female apprentice, named Wang Zhizhi.
"There is wine and food, and there is no silk and bamboo singing and dancing, which is a little less meaningful." Tian Yangzi suddenly put down his wine glass and said.
Hu Zhixian was embarrassed: "I was in a hurry, I didn't make arrangements, and I neglected the distinguished guests, please forgive me."
Tian Yangzi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the old way doesn't mean to blame."
He took out a picture scroll from his bag, opened the scroll, and said with a smile: "Look, how about singing and dancing on this painting?"
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the scroll unfolded in Tian Yangzi's hand, only to see four or five women wearing thin gauze on it, posing in a dancing pose.
Although these women are sketched with pen and ink, the details are wonderful, and their expressions are vivid on the paper.
Everyone looked at them, as if they could see their flower-like smiles, delicate and graceful dancing, and jade-like skin under the tulle.
Hu Zhixian exclaimed: "There is such a painting in the world, which famous artist is this?" ”
Tian Yangzi smiled but did not answer, seeing everyone's amazed expressions, he was very satisfied.
This painting is his proud work, using some special techniques, not for outsiders, it should be kept secret, hidden in the secret room, just for self-appreciation, but he always can't help but show it in front of people.
Fang Yue heard Wang Zhizhi, Tian Yangzi's female apprentice opposite, muttering in a low voice: "This is not a drawing. ”
Fang Yue turned his head to look at her, and Wang Zhizhi also looked at him, smiling, "This little brother looks very young, what official position does he hold in the yamen?" ”
"The girl misunderstood, she was only a showman, because she had personally experienced two strange incidents in the county, and the county magistrate arranged for me to be in the banquet in order to facilitate the situation with the Taoist chief."
Fang Yue replied politely, then immediately cut off the topic, raised his head and continued to look at the scroll in Tian Yangzi's hand.
Wang Zhizhi's arrogant personality made him dislike, and the unclear and strange relationship with her master Tian Yangzi also made him stay away and dare not have more contact.
Fang Yue thought in his heart about the meaning of the sentence that Wang Zhizhi muttered just now, this painting in Tian Yangzi's hand was not painted, how did it come from?
Tian Yangzi saw everyone's admiration and said with a smile: "After all, a painting is just a painting, no matter how vivid it is, it is still a dead thing." But Lao Dao's painting is different. ”
Hu Zhixian was surprised and said: "What is the difference between the paintings of the Taoist chief? ”
Fang Yue found that Hu Zhixian has the potential to be a role in cross talk, no wonder he can be prosperous.
Tian Yangzi said: "Everyone, take a closer look."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table, put the wine in his mouth, and sprayed it all on the picture scroll in one gulp.
Some people exclaimed, I don't understand what Tian Yangzi is doing, can a good painting be destroyed like this?
The next moment, however, the exclamation almost turned into an exclamation.
I saw that after Tian Yangzi finished spraying wine, he casually threw the scroll out.
The scroll flew out lightly, then exploded into a cloud of white light in mid-air.
The white light flickered and dissipated in an instant, and five beautiful women dressed in thin veils appeared in mid-air and danced.
As they danced, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo was heard in mid-air, accompanied by their graceful dancing.
Everyone at the banquet opened their mouths wide in surprise and stared blankly into the air.
Fang Yue was also horrified in his heart, looking up at the mid-air with a charming expression, dancing movingly, and ribbons fluttering, like the five women who had descended from heaven to earth, and felt extremely shocked.
It's not a special effect, it's a real thaumaturgy.
These five women, with a smile and a smile, all look like real people, not light and shadow effects.
If they weren't in the air, but on the ground, ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell that they were just a painting, but would treat them as real people with flesh and blood.
Even when Fang Yue saw the process of Tian Yangzi's spell casting with his own eyes, he had a doubt in his heart for a moment: they can't be real people, right?
Accompanied by the glamorous sound of silk and bamboo music, the dance of the five women gradually got better, swinging their waists and twisting their hips, with graceful postures and indescribable moving style.
Until the end of the song, the five women turned into a picture scroll and fell back into Tian Yangzi's hands, and everyone was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
There was silence until a long time later, when a burst of inhalation and exclamation erupted.
