"A little spell, compared to this donor, is really not worth mentioning." The monk saluted to everyone, "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for the generosity of this donor, so that the little monk can sacrifice his ugliness." The little monk is now in the city of Tianhai Temple to place an order, if the donor is interested, you can come to the Buddha in front of a few incense. ”

After speaking, fold your hands and salute the people.

It also salutes the middle-aged people who originally performed.

He really didn't take a penny of the money that fell on the ground, smiled, and walked back to a few friends. then looked helpless, as if he wanted to accuse a few friends, but he couldn't say it.

Seeing that everyone was exclaiming for this monk's spell performance, he was willing to admit defeat, and asked his apprentices to return the money he picked up on the ground to the monk, saying that it was incense money, and the monk would not take it anyway, so he took it back, and said with a smile:

"This master has a good spell, he must be a master, but there are thousands of spells in the world, the master master's magic villain can't, the villain can't, and the master doesn't necessarily know."

Then he asked his apprentices to bring knives.

A machete, the knife is wide and thick, the blade is thin, the blade is black and full of pockmarks, and the blade is so bright that it reflects the firelight, I am afraid that it is a little more imposing than the one in the vegetable market.

The onlookers exclaimed as soon as they saw it.

"Come!"

I saw the middle-aged man lying on the wide bench, exposing his head and showing his neck.

The eyes of the people were wide open, and the light of the fire was reflected.

The apprentice walked over and raised his knife.

The knife was so heavy that it had to be lifted with both hands, and it took a lot of effort to lift it above the head, and the arms were shaking when it was raised, and everyone was afraid that it would not be able to hold it steadily.

"No ......"

"Ouch......"

Some of the onlookers stopped, some covered their eyes and didn't dare to look, and some screamed.

"Master......"

"Cut!"

"This ......"

"Don't understand?"

"Good ......"

The apprentice also pretended to show a look of unbearability-

Grit your teeth! Hand up and knife down!

"Brush!"

The blade of the knife flashed against the wall with a flash of fire.

A round thing fell and gurgled a few times on the ground.

"Ahh

The onlookers were even more exclaimed.

This cry drowned out all the excitement of the night, and people from far away could hear it, and hurriedly ran towards it.

The more people are around, the more they are.

The three-flowered cat also stared at her eyes to the maximum, and her two front paws pressed Song You's arm holding her, and stretched her neck to look forward, as if to see how the head was. Twisting his head from side to side, the amplitude is very small but the frequency is extremely high, although he does not speak, and there is no expression on his face, but the curiosity and shock can be seen at a glance.

In the blink of an eye, more and more people gathered.

Originally, Song You and Sanhua Niangniang were at the outskirts of the crowd, but now they have gone to the front, and there are still people coming behind them, and there are constantly people trying to squeeze forward.

"Don't panic!"

A voice was heard from ahead.

It was the middle-aged man's voice.

Many spectators who covered their eyes dared to look when they heard the sound, only to see that the middle-aged man's body had been separated, and some people were frightened and exclaimed.

But take a closer look -

Although the middle-aged man's head was cut off from the neck, there was no blood spilled, the fracture between the neck and the head was very flat and smooth, and the skull, flesh and throat were clearly visible, except for no blood.

The apprentice held the middle-aged man's head, and the middle-aged man was still opening his mouth and kept talking.

He said that he poked his nostrils, said that he pulled his hair, and scolded the apprentice angrily, saying that the apprentice's little thumb was pressing his eyes.

The apprentice made amends, took a tray, put his head on the plate, and walked around with it, showing everyone one by one.

I saw that the head was as vivid as usual, not at all like it had been cut off from the body, and greeted and talked to everyone with a smile, which surprised everyone.

"You are happy to see it, and the villain is going to ask for a reward!"

"Good work! Reward! ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival comes out to hang out, even if it is not a rich and noble person, he also has some change to buy water and food gadgets, and it is refreshing to see, even if he is a stingy person, when he sees others throwing money, he will also throw one or two coppers more or less.

Even Song You took out one hand, took out a few copper plates, and threw them forward.

The three-flowered cat turned around and stared at him.

"Sanhua Niangniang, don't be so stingy, if you like it and are interested, it doesn't hurt to support it at all." The Taoist said and looked down at her, and lowered his voice, "I rewarded me with the few pennies just now, it is a coincidence, I also carried a lot of money for Sanhua Niangniang in my arms, Sanhua Niangniang wants to reward him?" If you want to reward it, I will do it for the three flower girls and throw it over. ”

“……”

Sanhua Cat immediately withdrew her gaze and stared ahead.

But her eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a long time, and then she turned back and meowed at him.

"Sanhua Niangniang is really generous!"

Song You took out a penny from his arms and threw it out.

"Thank you, thank you......"

The head on the apprentice's tray said.

Then something even more surprising happened, the bench on the other side actually stood up, turned in all directions, and bowed to everyone, but as he spun, he accidentally tripped over the leg of the chair and fell.

"Ouch!"

The head screamed in pain.

"Let you see and laugh, it's far away, so it's not convenient to evoke." The body got up and continued to bow his hand, and the head said, "You officials are so generous, the villain should give you a cup." ”

Then he asked his apprentice to bring wine.

But the wine was not drunk from the head, but from the neck of the body. After a while, the head's face was red, a little drunk, his eyebrows fluttered, he was intoxicated, and he even began to sing.

The officials around were amazed.

After a long while, the middle-aged man's face became more and more red, and he asked the apprentice to put his head back, and all of a sudden it became the same as before, and there was no wound at all.

"It's ugly."

The middle-aged man bowed his hand to everyone, and then made a weak appearance, saying that the spell just now was too hurtful, and he was already tired, so he asked for another wave of reward, and asked the apprentice to perform for everyone.

The apprentice doesn't have the master's skills, but it's not bad.

I saw that he took all kinds of paints, mixed them into a pile, and said to everyone, this is not yet the river, I think everyone has not been to the Lantern Festival to see it, so please take a look at it first.

Then he drank the paint in one gulp, pointed at the wall, opened his mouth and spit out, and on the wall was a picture of a riverbank lantern festival.

The picture is Changjing, and it is tonight's lantern festival.

During this time, the crowd was surging and the lanterns were numerous.

Talented and beautiful women walk among them.

Vivid and vivid.

Some people who have just returned from the Lantern Festival say that the river is like this, and some even find themselves in it.

Song You had already left the crowd with the cat in his arms.

The previous scholars and monks also walked out of the crowd and headed towards the river, where they saw Song You, the monk who had performed before folded his hands and bowed.

Song You also hurriedly returned the salute.

The two sides were not far away, and faintly heard the friend next to the monk asking about him, and the monk also told the truth, saying that when he walked out of the cloth shop, he happened to see the Taoist turn to look at him, thinking that he was also a master with cultivation, Taoism and knowledge, so he could see through his place at a glance, so he saluted.

So the scholars also hurriedly turned around, saluted the Taoist, and then left.

"Taoist ......"

"Huh?"

"How much do they make in a night?"

"There are a lot of people tonight, the people of Changjing are rich, and there are many dignitaries, maybe ......" Song You thought for a while, "Dozens of taels of silver?" Or if you meet a nobleman, it may be more. ”

"Can cats make money by spitting fire?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"I haven't tried it either."

Song You shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the river with her in his arms.

This cat seems to have an obsession with money and making money.

But if you think about it carefully, Sanhua Niangniang actually doesn't know the difference between poverty and wealth.

Even the size of the house she lives in doesn't matter.

She used to live in that elegant courtyard in Yidu, and she ran up and down every day, walking on the courtyard wall. Now that she has changed to this small building, she still runs up and down, walking on the roof. Even staying in the barren mountains and broken temples, she still thinks that the firewood and miscellaneous items piled up in the temple and the grass and trees on the mountain are very interesting.

Sanhua Niangniang can live well without money, and even Sanhua Niangniang didn't know what money was before.

The one who really needs money is the Taoist priest.

So it may not be an obsession with money and making money.

It is an obsession with raising Taoist priests.

“……”

The Taoist shook his head, his steps calm.

Suddenly there was a bright light ahead.

It's not much brighter to say it's bright.

If the candle flame is lit again, where will it go?

It's just that there are countless lanterns on that side, and the red candles are connected together, both by the river and in the river, and the light and darkness are intertwined in the dimness, and they also have their own charm of lanterns and candles, which are not necessarily lost to neon lights.

Both sides of the river are crowded with people and lively.

The princes and nobles of Changjing, talented and beautiful women, scholars and warriors, and even ordinary people are crowded on both sides of this river. There are green-clothed merchants carrying burdens and selling lanterns along the street, there are delicate women in groups of three or two on the bank of the river carefully put down the river lanterns, bowing their heads and closing their eyes without knowing what wish they have made, and there are literati playing wine orders on poetry and flying flowers upstairs, and there are often exclamations.

Even on the side of the road, there are countless people guessing lantern riddles.

All kinds of snacks, drinks and gadgets are dazzling, and it is a picture of the prosperous lantern festival.

There are countless wonderful and prosperous worlds, but the first thing that attracts Taoists is the lanterns of all kinds.

In the past, the common lantern style was not outstanding, it was a very ordinary lantern form, at most thinner, fatter, and more decorated. Even if the Taoist has been to the palace, the lanterns in the palace are exquisite, and some are even made of rhino horns, which are extremely precious, but the style is also relatively uniform, not as colorful as the lanterns at the lantern festival at this moment.

Just the ones that people carry in their hands and hang on the doors of their shops have countless tricks.

Square, round, oval, fat, thin, with a checkered square, like a box, hung with beaded curtains, tassels or streamers, combinations of various shapes, and even lamps in the shape of horses and dogs. These lanterns, which are so varied beyond people's imagination that they are as wonderful and complex as this world, may be that they have been in the mountains for too long.

Song You looked at it as he walked, and asked the cat in his arms in a low voice, "Sanhua Niangniang, why don't we buy a lantern too?" ”

"Meow?"

"There are expensive ones, and there are cheap ones."

"Meow ......"

"I forgot to bring it out at home, not to mention that it was a little special, and it was not easy to bring it out, so I had to buy one." Song You said to her, "Does Sanhua Niangniang have anything you like?" ”

“……”

The three-flowered cat thought for a moment and craned her neck to look in one direction.

The Taoist also looked over.

I saw that there was a shop in front of me guessing lantern riddles, and even three pairs, a lantern was sent, and many people gathered around, and it was lively.

……

Thank you all for your monthly pass, bow and bare!

I wish you all a happy May Day holiday!
