Chapter 10: Before and After the Battle (Part I)
Zhong Tianxing is wearing a robe similar to Liu Jinyi's style yesterday, but he does not reveal a lewd and cunning temperament like him - in fact, Zhong Tianxing is nearly one meter nine tall, and his figure is extremely well-proportioned, with long black hair scattered over his shoulders.
Shi Zuocai and Liu Yanshi had been waiting in the temple for a long time. When Zhong Tianxing and Mr. Demon looked at each other, both of them narrowed their eyes meaningfully. None of the onlookers in the audience made a sound, it was so quiet that it could be heard that the needle had fallen to the ground, and the atmosphere was tense.
Mr. Demon smiled:
"You're here anyway."
Zhong Tianxing said:
"Why don't I come?"
Mr. Demon said:
"I thought you'd run."
Zhong Tianxing stood still in front of him and said with a smile:
"Expose an obscene thief and eliminate harm for the people. Such a small thing, why should I run? ”
Mr. Demon said:
"You're coming, you're going to die."
Zhong Tianxing put his hands into his sleeves and said calmly:
"Not necessarily, right? Look around. ”
Liu Yanshi blinked, his eyes turned around the field, and found that the position of the people in the temple had quietly changed after Zhong Tianxing entered the field: people were faintly divided into two factions, standing on the left and right of the two in the middle of the field, at first glance, there were more supporters behind Zhong Tianxing - through yesterday's events, the people who saw the skills of the two Taoist priests were a minority after all, and their popularity and prestige were naturally not comparable to Zhong Tianxing, who had worked hard in Hejia Town for more than a month.
"It's you who don't understand the situation." Zhong Tianxing said coldly:
"Your so-called layout, the game, is just a big joke. However, after learning to play the ninth-rate words, I thought that I had grasped the situation and had the chance to win. Since you don't know the sky, you have to pay the price. He leaned into Mr. Demon's ear and whispered:
"Soon you will understand that today is going to be planted here...... It could only be you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Demon clapped his hands directly. One after another, rhythmic sounds echoed in the temple hall for a long time, full of irony.
"It's really worthy of Master Zhong Tianxing Zhong, he talks like an old sow wearing a condom, one set after another, and if he doesn't sell fitness cards, he is simply Qu Cai!"
After circling around Zhong Tianxing's body, Mr. Demon returned to the front and raised his head to meet his gaze:
"It's so powerful, I don't know if Master Zhong can do his job?"
Mr. Demon smiled and made a silent lip shape:
"Men can't say no."
Zhong Tianxing's squinted eyes burst with murderous aura.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, and I flew to watch from the poor road on the mountain, commonly known as ...... Lan Silin. ”
"Lan Silin" smiled and said:
"Master Zhong, let's get started."
……
"All of you here, is there anyone who is willing to come up first and let Master Zhong and I tell fortunes on your behalf?"
Lan Silin asked, the townspeople on the field, look at me, I look at you, a woman in her early thirties walked out:
"I ...... I want to tell fortunes. ”
Lan Silin turned her head, glanced at Zhong Tianxing beside her, and said with a smile:
"You first, please?"
Zhong Tianxing glanced at him lightly, walked to the chair in the middle with vigorous steps, and pulled the chair in front of the woman very gentlemanly:
"Donor, please be seated."
The woman said thank you a little apprehensively, sat down on the chair, Zhong Tianxing sat in front of her, her bright eyes looked at her like arrows, and the corners of her mouth hooked a kind smile:
"Has the donor ever told his fortune before?"
The woman snorted, "No." ”
"Don't be nervous, fortune telling should be from the heart, if you are restless, it will not only interfere with the results of fortune telling, but also affect your fortune."
Zhong Tianxing's voice seemed to have a strange magic, the woman quickly relaxed, stretched out her hand according to his instructions, and put it on the table, Zhong Tianxing politely picked up her hand, carefully groped for a while in the pulse and hand lines, frowned slightly, and said in her mouth, after a while, she opened her eyes and said:
"There is a dragon vein on Mount Davis, and the donor has a vein, but this family?"
"Yes, yes...... I am a native of Hejia Town......"
Zhong Tianxing nodded, and continued:
"Judging from the pulse, the donor, your ancestors are not shallow, and you should be the descendants of the 'Cheng' generation, and you are short of water in the five elements, but I see that you have not had much wind and waves in the first half of your life, I think you have broken this hexagram, do you still have water-related words in your name? I want to think about it...... It should be 'Qing' or 'Jiang' next to the word water......"
The woman looked extremely surprised and nodded again and again:
"That's right! That's right...... My name is He Chengqing...... Master, you are truly a god! ”
Zhong Tianxingfeng smiled lightly, casually responded with a sentence of "carving insect small skill ear", and continued:
"The dragon vein on the mountain is a hidden dragon, and the donor has made up the five elements, which is a sign of many sons and many blessings, have you married?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "I got married when I was eighteen years old......
Zhong Tianxing nodded:
"So by your benefactor's blessing, you should now have three sons, two of whom are boys......"
The woman stood up excitedly: "Two sons and one daughter!" Right! Our family happens to have two sons and one daughter! ”
Everyone on the field talked a lot, and they all sighed at Master Zhong's insightful eyes, Liu Yanshi blinked again and again, approached Mr. Demon beside him, and glanced at him, Mr. Demon looked at her, and laughed softly:
"It's a hot reading, just like us, and you can't go wrong."
Hot reading is a type of speech technique, which is the opposite of cold reading. Cold reading is a kind of conversation technique that understands the mental activity of others through eye observation, speech and behavior, and gestures without knowing the other person at all, while hot reading is the opposite, long before the conversation begins, the interlocutor has a certain degree of understanding of his or her own goal, and when he creates an opportunity to say this information, the person will appear to be magical.
In other words, at this time, Zhong Tianxing actually already knew all the information about He Chengqing, and those practices of looking at the pulse were actually just some pretenses. Mr. Demon sneered:
"It seems that our Grand Master Zhong has also put a lot of preparation work into today's game."
Liu Yan looked at the words, glanced at him angrily, and said, "Say it as if you are not in a hurry", and said mercilessly: "Besides, people use more words and mouths than yours." ”
"An old ass is an old ass, where can we compare to these tender asses." Mr. Demon smiled nonchalantly.
At the moment when the two were talking in a low voice, Master Zhong had already told the woman's past experience, the recent situation of her children, and her husband's family background, and did not say any wrong information, the fortune teller woman was already so excited that she was about to faint, and the other three aunts and six women also talked non-stop, as if they had been completely impressed by the handsome and golden Master Zhong.
After giving the woman some pointers on the future, the first fortune telling ended here. Master Zhong stood up, flicked his robe, and walked unhurriedly to Mr. Demon's side, his momentum was heroic, and the crowd around him couldn't help but applaud.
Zhong Tianxing glanced at Mr. Demon carelessly:
"It's your turn, Lan Celin."
Mr. Demon spat out a small piece of his tongue at him without a trace, and walked forward with Liu Yanshi:
"The next fortune teller, please come forward."
After speaking, he lowered his head and whispered to Liu Yanshi:
"How many of the people who are here today do you already know their names?"
Liu Yanshi said in a low voice: "Not much, it should be less than half." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, an aunt had already walked up with an expectant face, Liu Yan glanced at her, pulled the corner of Mr. Demon's clothes without a trace, her lips moved slightly, and she only said the three words "Liu Yulian".
Mr. Demon blinked his eyes, and the information related to Liu Yulian quickly retraced it in his mind, and stepped forward confidently:
"Auntie, please be seated."
That Liu Yulian was a talker, and as soon as she sat down, she began to pour the bag in her arms, and her mouth was like a cannon:
"Hey, Xiaodao Chief, I heard about you from a friend, saying that you are young and very good-looking, is it true? Is it so powerful? I heard that you have to look at the contents of your bag before you look at the photo, right, you can wait a while......"
"No need, auntie." Mr. Demon grinned and hurriedly interrupted her:
"You have a great personality, you don't need to read books, you can show you a look."
"That's amazing?"
"Just now I asked the little junior sister to read your surname, your surname is Liu, right?"
"Oops! What a hit! Liu Yulian was taken aback: "Can you guess this?" ”
Lan Silin smiled casually:
"The more prominent the person's personality, the easier it is to see his life and read his name, the little sister's ability to read the surname is also ineffective, we are lucky, of course, it is also because of your great blessing."
"How do you know I'm blessed?" Liu Yulian asked.
Lan Silin winked at her and asked rhetorically:
"There are two sons in the family, a dragon and a phoenix, and they are both pillars of talent, isn't this a great blessing?"
Liu Yulian's eyes widened with an "oops":
"Xiaodao Chief, you are really amazing, my son was just admitted to Tsinghua University this year, and my daughter was also very angry, and went to Guangzhou to attend a key high school."
Lan Silin said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not only that, right? Your husband has been in a rage lately, hasn't he...... Made a small fortune? ”
Liu Yulian clapped her hands violently, with a smile on her face:
"You're so right, my husband just bought the Mark Six lottery last week and won 20,000 yuan!"
Lan Silin nodded:
"This is all taken for granted, as the saying goes, people have three fires, one on each shoulder, and the fire on your shoulders is as prosperous as the sun, which is the sign of Wangfu Wangzi, and having such a good family is all due to Aunt Liu."
Liu Yulian was praised by him and smiled, the more she talked, the more she felt that this little Taoist chief was decent, her face was delicate, her speech was catchy, and she loved her from the bottom of her heart......
Although the masses in the temple probably have a standing line, in fact, most of them are holding the mentality of eating melons and watching the show, at this moment, seeing that the handsome little Taoist priest is also like a god, it is lively again, and Liu Yulian is so leading, many aunts and aunts have been moved, the more they look at it, the more they feel that the Taoist is pleasing to the eye, the more they look at it, the more they feel that he is cute, one or two are a little eager to try, and their popularity is no worse than Zhong Tianxing.
After shirking it a few times, Mr. Demon sent away Liu Yulian, sweating profusely and walking back, Liu Yanshi was by his side, trying to hold back his smile, and his eyes had already bent into crescent moons.
Zhong Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a deep meaning in the eyes that looked at him.
