The girl pointed there and asked, "What bodhisattva?"

Speaking of this, Abel, who was still disdainful of those worshippers and monks just now, suddenly became serious, and his tone was obviously a little more respectful: "It's not a bodhisattva, that's the most capable person in Tanxiu City, that is, the person you are looking for, the owner of this carriage." ”

I'm not surprised: "He's so good that it's no wonder people worship him." ”

Abel returned to the contemptuous tone just now: "Hmph, these laymen worship him mainly because he has been the most beautiful man in the world. ”

"The most beautiful man in the world?" I whispered the familiar and unfamiliar title.

"It was more than ten years ago, and you weren't born yet. ”

No, it shouldn't be a survivor, all the people who were poisoned at that time were either killed or disqualified from the competition due to loss of virginity, so the final winner as the biggest beneficiary had the motive to commit the crime, and it was likely that he was the poisoner. This possibility will put me in a dilemma of a triple identity: he poisoned my father and should be my enemy, he indirectly contributed to my birth and is my benefactor, and he could be one of the five odd people and become my teammate. What's even more troublesome is that he can teleport objects and teleport, teleport, stealth magic, death curse, and predict the future...... And I will only have a "killing technique", and I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to get rid of him when I fight him. However, these are only speculations, and the poisoner may have been someone else, and he may have only survived because of the invincibility of all poisons, after all, he has so many stunts, and it is not surprising that there is one more. In any case, all this can only be figured out when you meet this person.

The girl was unaware of my worries, and was only curious: "But what is the connection between the first beautiful man and the list of scientific examinations?

Abel explained: "The first beautiful man, good looks, immortal in calamity, good character. has excellent appearance, has so much ability, and is still a real character, naturally more attractive than immortals. ”

The girl nodded: "That's right, everyone wishes to have such good conditions and luck as him, and become a winner in life in one step, and it is reasonable to spend a few pennies to make a wish." ”

"How much money? Do you think this is a public toilet?" Abel gestured with his thumb and index finger, "The incense of Dengke Temple is at least 88 taels of silver per stick, and after burning the incense, you have to buy a 'gold list title charm' with a secret mantra, 888 taels, it is said that this can bless you on the list, of course, many people are not just satisfied with being on the list, so if you want to be the champion, you will buy the 'Dominating Talisman', and if you want to win the first place, you will buy the 'Lianzhong Sanyuan Talisman', and if you want to have a smooth career in the future, you will buy it If you want to achieve greater success, such as the king and the wife of the king, buy the 'chicken dog ascension talisman', anyway, as long as someone needs it, it is sold here. ”

My eyes and mouth opened at the same time: "A piece of torn paper sells for 888?"

Abel said: "Do you think, such a big thing as seeking glory and wealth, people will buy it with confidence when it is sold cheaply? How many people are eager to buy all the talismans, so Dengke Temple has also launched a full set of secret spell gift packages, which have all kinds of talismans, and they are in short supply. ”

The girl said: "But won't it crash? For example, many people have bought the 'Domination Talisman', if it all works, who is the champion?"

Abel said: "There will be various explanations, God only blesses but not guarantees, the birth of the eight characters of the great luck of the year, the name and face of the house, etc., there is a saying that there is a hit, and there is no saying that there is not." The people who come to worship believe in these things, and no one blames the gods, but in the end they only feel that they are not lucky enough or their intentions are not sincere enough. ”

The girl smiled: "It's clear that it's a pit and jumping in, it's stupid." ”

Abel said: "It's a pit for the Konoo, but in the eyes of some people, it's a cornucopia, and one-third of the income of the temple depends on this pit." ”

I heard a new word: "Konoo?"

"Well, all over the place, slaves of the expedition," Abel nodded the head below with a dog's tail and pointed into the distance, "and the slave declaration." ”

I looked beyond the crowd and found a large field of neatly colored flags in the east corner of the square, full of inspirational slogans:

"I'd rather be a rich slave than a poor man!"

"One Shi Dengjia Family, Nine Clans Phi Fuze. ”

"Ten years of cold windows have come out, and the glory of a lifetime is endless!"

"The middle three-yuan chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the pig and dog are not as good as the famous pig and dog!"

"Wen Yan wears a red robe in a hundred battles, and he vows not to return if he doesn't win the gold list!"

"The fish leaps over the dragon gate and shines for thousands of years!"

"Today, the family is bankrupt and the examination is examined! Tomorrow the house will be full of gold and jade, buy and buy!"

"Learn day and night, study day and night, play hard day and night, live until the old test, and continue to take the test until the old reincarnation!"

......

......

......

"Chirp, chirp. Ash's excited cry drew my attention to the southwest corner of the square, where there was a large pool surrounded by the "Konoo". Those people are scrambling to throw coins into the pool, which, according to Abel, is known as the Trevi Fountain, and it is believed that whoever throws a coin will cause more and more splashes, the more money will be spent. There are also many people dressed as monks who set up booths by the wishing fountain, providing various services such as consultation, fortune telling, and even exchanging copper coins, which is in short supply.

A penny, goo.

A penny, goodong.

A pot of money, goo dong goo dong.

Not to be outdone, several young men in champion robes marched towards the pool with sacks of money on their backs, but this momentum was immediately surpassed by more rising stars, some people pushed carts, some people carried coffins, and the "mountain of money" raised high glittered. After a while, the pool was like dumplings, with money raining and flying beads splashing jade. The fat man who poured all the coffin coins into the pool was very satisfied with the momentum of the splash, and held his head high, proud of the crowd, as if at this moment Wenqu Xing had possessed his body, just waiting for the examiner to applaud his essay.

There is a lush towering ancient tree not far from the pool, and the square tablet next to it is engraved with four bright red characters of "Wenchang Shenmu". There are several simple shrines under the ancient trees, surrounded by kneeling people who are prostrating, and countless red knots and prayer bands hang between the lush branches and leaves. It is said that whoever ties the knot and prayer belt the higher the better, the better the grade, but climbing the sacred tree is a great disrespectful act, so some of the candidates ride on the back of a strong man to tie it to the tree, some step on stilts to tie it, and some set up a ladder for siege, easily touch the treetops, and immediately laugh, hearty and heroic, like a daredevils who have just pulled down the enemy's city flag.

As far as the eye can see, prayer spots such as the Trevi Fountain and the Sacred Tree abound. The flow of people like bees and ants gathered at these points, with their clothes and shoulders stacked, forming clusters of high-density stasis, like cow dotted in the farmland.

At this moment, thousands of faces are like scales, some old and some young, some haggard and some red; thousands of eyes are intertwined like a net, some are happy and worried, some are anxious and some are longing; thousands of voices are pouring out like rain, some thick and some are fine, some are murmuring and some are sonorous; thousands of incense sticks are shining like stars, some are bright and some are dark, some are psychedelic and some are delusional. I felt as if I was in the madness of the eve of the end of the world, and I seemed to have traveled to the moment when the heavens and the earth first opened, and I did not know whether to marvel at the never-ending noise or panic at the frenzy from which no one was spared.

The girl is not as sentimental as me, she cares about more important things: "It's so lively, there must be a lot of discounts in those shops, right?"

"Discount?" Abel glanced at his eyes, "If a pie falls from the sky, will you only take half of it?" The better the business, the more ruthless you will be, there are hundreds of people who come to pray for blessings in groups, the inns are full, the backlog of goods from large and small shops for many years has been swept away, and the supply is still in short supply, and the price has increased more than ten times in a few days. Look at that one, the most famous steamed bun shop in Taiping Prefecture, and now the price of a meat bun is equivalent to an old hen. ”

I looked at the thriving shops and wondered: "Isn't there a famine in Taiping Prefecture? Why are there still meat buns for sale? Where did so many people come from?"

"Hmph, the abundance is determined by heaven, and hunger and fullness are human lives," Abel spat on the ground and asked rhetorically, "How can someone who can afford to burn incense and make a wish starve to death? Who does business who doesn't know hoarding? ”>
