Mr. Demon ignored Liu Jinyi, straightened up, walked to the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this point, whether it is true or false, I think everyone should have a certain number in their hearts. To tell the truth, this time my sister and I went down the mountain to tell fortunes, it is no accident, it is precisely because I heard that in recent months, there is a traveling mage master in Hejia Town who has been abducted and deceived in the name of the master, so I received the master's order, and made a special trip down the mountain to expose the traitor's lies and give you a truth. ”

He turned around, pointed at Liu Jinyi, who was slumped in the chair, and said:

"You have also seen clearly the face of this Mr. Liu, then you should believe that what Xiaodao said is true, the incense money you handed over from that Master Zhong not only failed to solve your troubles, but instead let this kind of liar put it in his pocket and squandered it, may I ask you, are you willing?"

Liu Jinyi's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he screamed around his neck:

"You...... You are talking nonsense! ”

Mr. Demon slowly walked up to Liu Jinyi and said with a smile:

"Am I talking nonsense, don't you know it best?"

Liu Jinyi's Adam's apple swells up and down:

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

"It's okay if you don't understand." Mr. Demon smiled softly at him:

"I can explain it to you."

With that, he turned to face the crowd of onlookers:

"Fellow villagers, among you, is there anyone who donated incense money for the so-called Master Zhong?"

The onlookers were silent, and after a while, someone muttered:

"I ...... I donated 3,000 ......."

This sentence was like a spark quietly floating into the hot oil pot, igniting the entire crowd of onlookers.

"I also donated a lot of ......"

"I donated two hundred ......"

"I donated 12,000! That's the deposit at the bottom of the box at home! ”

"I ...... I also donated 2,000 ......."

One after another, some people reported the incense money they had donated, and the sum of these amounts was frighteningly high. That Dao Ye nodded, and continued to ask in a loud voice:

"So, I would like to ask you - among the people who have donated incense money, how many of them have solved their difficulties in life or their troubles because of this?"

There was another silence, followed by a storm of chatter.

"Do you have one?"

"I don't have ......"

"I don't have ...... either"

"Me too, Master Zhong said that if you donate incense money, you can transfer it, but I was bitten on the neck by the neighbor's dog just the day before yesterday......"

"But it's not, my son failed the college entrance examination, and he even hung two books."

"What are you guys, my old Zhang's condition worsened yesterday......"

The more people talked, the more the crowd surged up, and an aunt couldn't help it, rushed forward, and lifted Liu Jinyi's collar:

"The surname is Liu. You've got to talk to us! What's going on with this incense money? ”

The other three aunts and six women also rushed forward with resentment.

"That's right!"

"Not really!"

"Give me the money back!"

"You unconscionable liar!"

"!"

Liu Jinyi was surrounded by people. has long lost the arrogant momentum of Fang Cai, and he can't stop laughing:

"No...... No...... Sincerity is spiritual, sincerity is spiritual......"

Public opinion has long been directed to the left, where can people still listen to his nonsense with the mud, one or two rolled up their sleeves and pipes to do it directly, Mr. Demon looked happy and said with a smile:

"So far, don't you call your master over to clean up this mess?"

Liu Jinyi explained to everyone with laughter, while glaring at Mr. Demon a few times in fear and anger, rolled down from the chair again, took out his mobile phone tremblingly, dodged the fingers of the townspeople, pressed a number in the address book, and muttered for a while.

Liu Yanshi stood aside to accompany Mr. Demon to enjoy this farce, his eyes dripping him twice from time to time, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. That Liu Jinyi finally came out of the crowd panting, slipped in front of Shi Zuocai in disheveled clothes, and said breathlessly:

"Zhong ...... Master Zhong wants to find you......"

Mr. Demon took the phone with a smile.

"Please."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for nearly half a minute, and the voice was extremely gloomy:

"What is your purpose?"

Hearing this, Mr. Demon laughed directly:

"What do you think?"

Zhong Tianxing said coldly: "Don't get carried away, do you know who you provoked?" If you don't stop, I'll let you ......"

Mr. Demon suddenly sighed:

"Master Zhong, it seems that you haven't figured out the current situation yet?"

His peach blossom eyes showed morbid cheerfulness:

"Now...... I'm the one who is qualified to negotiate terms, not you. I've got a big mess in store for you here, a great show. All you have to do is make a choice, come to me in Hejia Town within tomorrow, and prove to the people in the town that I'm the crappy liar - or you can run away with your tail between your legs right now, but don't forget, the monk can't run away from the temple, and the 'charity' you collected in the town hasn't had time to be transferred, right? If you're willing to leave here with just two sleeves on your sleeves, then I'll do whatever you want. ”

"What the hell do you want to do! Who are you? ......" on the other end of the phone was an unconcealed rage.

Mr. Demon blinked softly and said into the phone:

"I'll tell you about that in due course. Tomorrow at twelve o'clock, Hejia Town, Temple, I am waiting for you to come and play a game with me. The stakes are all the deposits you defrauded in Hejia Town, plus the future of me and you, and our respective lives...... Only one crook has fallen, and the other crook can walk out unharmed, to bet or not, you choose. ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly, threw it into Liu Jinyi's arms, turned to the noisy townspeople, and said loudly:

"You don't have to make any noise. Xiao Dao has already made an agreement with Master Zhong: if anyone is still dissatisfied with Master Zhong, or has doubts about the truth of his fortune-telling skills, they can go to the temple with me tomorrow. When the time comes, Xiaodao will preside over a fight, please do a favor, ask relatives and friends, and call some people who have not looked for Master Zhong and me to tell their fortunes as referees, so that who is the magic stick, which is true and which is false, you can know at a glance. ”

When the townspeople heard this, they became lively again, some cheered for the two Taoist masters and aunts, and some of them pointed at Liu Jinyi's nose and scolded, and some of them had a wait-and-see attitude, thinking that Master Zhong might not be a charlatan. After such an episode, Mr. Demon naturally stopped continuing to tell fortunes, and left with Liu Yanshi on the grounds of recuperation.

On the way back to the hotel, Liu Yanshi patted his chest lightly, exhaled a long breath, and said with a smile:

"If you want to fight with Master Zhong, this kind of bad idea, you can think of it."

"Don't you think it's funny?" Mr. Demon clasped his hands in his sleeves, and he still looked like a Taoist priest with fairy wind bones.

"You love to toss." Liu Yanshi pouted: "Set up such a game, if he doesn't dare to come and run away, won't we give up all our efforts?" ”

"Give our Master Zhong a little more confidence, he is also a top student of an American university, and this arrogance should still be there." There was no shortage of teasing in Mr. Demon's tone. Liu Yanshi smiled and said:

"Well, tomorrow is over...... Zhong Tianxing may have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time. ”

The chessboard was laid out, and it only took Mr. Demon two days to get everything ready. All that remains is to bare his fangs and swallow the second fraudster of his Kyogen career.

After the incident of Jiang Zhilin, Liu Yanshi no longer had any doubts about Mr. Demon's trickery, so that he did not show a trace of worry about the final net collection tomorrow. In the eyes of the two, this Master Zhong of the "hemp" character is already a complete bag.

As the night passed, the sun rose in the east. At noon, Zhong Tianxing really arrived as promised.

But to their surprise, Zhong Tianxing strode into the temple of Hejiazhen in the eyes of everyone, without a trace of apprehension on his face—on the contrary, he was still smiling.

It seems that the victory is in hand.
