Chapter 53: Ready to Go
The officials were stunned, and one of the small officials said: "Yes, yes, my lord, I have dice here~" As he spoke, he took out three dice and handed them to Pan Cheng'er. Pan Cheng'er shook the dice and said with a smile: "That's right, come on, let's play a while~"
When the officials usually don't have to patrol the streets when they don't have a case, they often get together a bunch of people to gamble and play money, and what kind of dice pai gow mahjong is what they like. As soon as I heard this, I became interested, and they gathered around Pan Cheng'er. There were a few honest people who didn't dare to step forward, Wu Haoquan smiled, and ordered to listen to Pan Cheng'er.
Everyone played until midnight, knocked three times, and everyone was already having fun, almost forgetting the monsters in the river, and they were almost forgetting the death of Xiao Wuzi.
"Brother. ”
"I heard my brother. Pan Cheng'er put down the dice in his hand and said, "Call the brothers, take the guy and follow me." ”
Wu Haoquan nodded, and ordered a cadre of officials to set off in a neat manner, while Pan Cheng'er walked in front in a big way wearing the Taoist robes worn by Taoist priests. The incense burner, wax sticks, and other things were all prepared during the day, and they all dispersed the nearby residents, and each family sent a few dollars of silver to spend the night elsewhere.
Coming to the river, Pan Cheng'er looked at the damage on the broken bridge, the load-bearing pier pillars were broken, but the fractures were arranged in a very orderly manner, as if they had been bitten by a giant mouth more than seven feet long.
Pan Cheng'er felt a little uneasy in her heart, "The mouth is so big, how big is that body... Hey, I hope I don't lose my talent today......" Although he thought in his heart, in order not to let everyone be afraid, his face was still very calm.
A servant said: "Little Heavenly Master, how are you catching demons, let's talk to all of us first, so that everyone can see for a long time~" Pan Cheng'er pouted and said: "Everyone is eye-catching~" Saying that he made progress, one turned over on the Dharma platform, picked up the yellow table paper on the table in his hand, and used a brush dipped in cinnabar to write messy things on the paper, and no one could see what it was. In fact, the real Taoist priest's practice, regardless of whether it is true or false, must be written on the yellow table paper with the six-character mantra of Om Mani, and then pierced with a peachwood sword and lit with a candle, a talisman to pray to the heavens, a second to dispatch troops, and the third is to subdue demons and catch monsters. These Pan Cheng'er have seen them in the past, but he doesn't know if he has caught ghosts or not, but this time he is catching demons for his brother, but it is inconvenient to reveal his identity, so he thought of such a method, and it was not all for fun.
I saw Pan Cheng'er writing and painting on the stage, and he had enough time to make a stick of incense, stopped writing, raised a peachwood sword brush, and stabbed a book of yellow table paper on the wooden sword and then put it on the candle to burn.
"Hey, I usually see that the ghost catchers are all three spirit runes, why did our little Heavenly Master make a thick mess today......" "Look at it~ Don't you understand? This shows that the monster mana this time is great! The three spirit runes can't stop it at all! This can't be a stack!" "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time, and I've seen it for a long time...... "Well, what's the smell?"
Everyone was whispering in the audience, and suddenly saw Pan Cheng'er's peachwood sword on fire, and they were all dumbfounded. It turns out that the usual way is to burn them one by one, and the surface of the peachwood sword is coated with a layer of wax, so the sword is fine after burning the paper with fire. But how could Pan Cheng'er know this, so thick stacks of yellow table paper were strung together, how could he not burn the wax? This has nothing to do with catching demons, the main reason is that it is too embarrassing, and the anxious Pan Cheng'er was sweating profusely on the stage, and the peachwood sword in his hand wanted to extinguish the fire.
"Heavenly Master's Inner Sword...... What's wrong......" "I don't know... I've never seen a Heavenly Master burn a sword together... What's the matter with this......" "Hey, look at you~" On the observation deck, Pan Cheng'er was brushing flowers with a peachwood sword. "Oh, have you seen it?This is the 'Flame Sword'!" "Oh, oh, I've seen this, I heard that this is the most powerful trick in the line of the Heavenly Master, known as the combination of the sword and the sword!" "Oh oh oh~" "It's amazing~" The more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, just like the real thing, and some people even took the lead in applauding together. People are like this, a group of people sit together and chat If there is a rare thing that no one has ever seen, if one person stands up and says that he has seen it, then this person seems to be the most knowledgeable and outstanding person in the crowd, so some people just want to show that they are also outstanding, so they talk nonsense with this person, and rumors and legends come from mouth to mouth.
Because Pan Cheng'er practiced immortal arts, his ears were very sensitive, and he had already heard the whispers in the audience. was worried that he couldn't get off the stage, so he followed this introduction and threw the Zhengwang peachwood sword into the river, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already thrown this 'Red Flame Sword' down, and after it goes down, it will find the monsters in the river by itself, and then I will control it on the shore to fight with it." Why did Pan Cheng'er change his name to "Red Flame Sword", because he knew that the term "Flame Divine Sword" was nonsense from the official in the audience, and if the name was the same, wouldn't it make people see the flaws?
After listening to Pan Cheng'er's words, everyone ran to the river to look inside, but in the middle of the night, it was dark, and there was nothing in the river, and everyone could only smell the smell of charcoal that had been soaked in water.
Pan Cheng'er was complacent about when he had found an excuse, and suddenly his ears moved three times, which others could not hear, only Pan Cheng'er himself could hear the gurgling sound of something dozens of feet deep under the water swimming upstream at the speed of a goshawk flying and breaking through the water.
Pan Cheng'er frowned, knowing that this thing smelled popular by the river, so he wanted to come up and eat people, so he hurriedly said to the officials on the shore: "Brothers, brothers~ This is a thing in the water, so I don't think you have a chance to see this scene of sword fighting monsters~ Big brother." Wu Haoquan had been on the side for Pan Cheng'er to drive at any time, and when he heard his righteous brother call him, he quickly clenched the handle of the knife and asked, "What's the matter, brother?" Pan Cheng'er smiled deliberately and said: "I want to use my mind to control the sword and fight with monsters, you first take your brothers to hide to the side, so as not to disturb me, go farther." Wu Haoquan said: "Don't I need to help you?" Pan Cheng'er said: "Use the Tao is for use, you fence this neighborhood and help me protect the Fa, lest someone else break in, I will be angry, but something big will happen~" Wu Haoquan was stunned, knowing where the others came from in the middle of the night, but the righteous brother's instructions have his own reasons, and there is no need to ask more.
"Left and right!" "Yes!" the officials replied in unison. "Everyone gathered around the Dharma platform, formed a semicircle, and then each person retreated one mile back to guard it, so as not to let others break in!" "Yes!" The officials agreed in unison again, and they all went down according to Wu Haoquan's request.
"Big brother~" Pan Cheng'er shouted, "What brother?" Wu Haoquan looked at Pan Cheng'er with a worried face, Pan Cheng'er grinned, "You go too, no matter what movement you hear, don't come over, don't disturb me." "This ......" Wu Haoquan hesitated for a moment and nodded in response. "Be careful yourself!" "Okay, trust me, don't worry, we'll have to drink tomorrow~"
Wu Haoquan looked at the water, and then at Pan Cheng'er who left worriedly.
Wu Haoquan just walked for a while, only to see that the water surface began to be uncalm, the water splashed up and down, and from time to time there was blue air coming out of the water, followed by a loud "bang", the water surface was separated from each other, and the two sides shook and shook three times, and a two-foot-high blue-faced and red-eyed monster came out!
Pan Cheng'er looked up and down, sneered, and said in his heart: "What I'm waiting for is you~"
