Chapter 163 Retrieving objects from the air(2/2)
Because magic performances are rare. Normally, they are an entertainment opportunity that only comes once a year. Especially today, when the world is becoming more and more chaotic, you may not be able to see it once a year. People's livelihood is changing year by year.
The year has been more depressing, and the opportunities to relax have become less and less, which is really not a good thing.
However, knowing that the magistrate who had just taken office had been in a lot of trouble recently, he frowned and said: "I haven't heard of anyone coming to the city to report? Could it be that the world is in chaos and the rules are also in chaos!?"
“Go check it out!”
"Okay!"
This is exactly what the subordinate officer wants.
So he pretended to be serious and followed the magistrate. Before he got closer, he heard the enthusiastic cheers of the people watching. He guessed that he might have real skills, and his eyes were filled with joy, and he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look.
I saw a young Taoist priest in the middle of the crowd. He looked to be in his twenties, with handsome appearance, tall posture and quite graceful manner.
There is a long bench next to it, and two young Taoists, a man and a woman, are also sitting there. They are slightly younger.
Since ancient times, many monks like to perform spells on the street, not only to show their magic skills to others, but also to make some money easily. After all, monks also need food and clothing. They cannot do deception and abduction, but they can also commit murder and robbery.
No, let wealthy people support you. Maybe you don’t have the peace of mind and freedom to perform a magic spell anywhere, so some people with high Taoist skills also like to do this.
So the two of them were not surprised and just looked at it carefully.
Then I saw the older and younger Taoist holding wheat ears in his hands, as if he had picked them up from the roadside. Then, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he crushed them casually, shouted, and threw them into the sky.
The wheat ears all over the sky suddenly turned into butterflies flying.
It’s really a scene that blocks out the sky and the sun.
Immediately, the scene was filled with exclamations and excitement, and some girls and boys were even more excited, as if they had seen a god.
“It’s really amazing!”
"The gods come again!"
Some people shouted, and some held up money.
During the break in the performance, the older Taoist priests were chatting with the audience. The younger Kun Taoist sitting on the bench went to receive the money with a bamboo basket, thanked him repeatedly, and after taking the money back, he counted it with the Taoist priests around him.
good.
"He is a Taoist, and he seems to be able to do magic." The subordinate staff reminded the magistrate in a low voice beside him.
"I have seen this kind of drama many times. Most of it is a deception." The magistrate said calmly, "This is the time when butterflies and flying insects come out. You should hide them in the wheat ears in advance, and then use the deception to make everyone think
It's the wheat that turned into a butterfly, otherwise how could there be such a thing in the world like wheat turning into a butterfly?"
“Gaoxian has good eyesight.”
The junior official whispered beside him.
Unexpectedly, the man's ears were very sensitive, and he seemed to hear what he said. He turned around and looked at them with a smile.
"This judge has a very high vision!" Brother Seventh loves theater and doesn't want others to underestimate it, so he said, "What the judge said is true. There is no such thing as wheat turning into a butterfly in this world.
Butterflies are definitely not turned into wheat, this is just an illusion! But with Pindao's illusion skills, looking at the true way of the famous teachers in the world, very few people can match it, so why can't it catch the eye of the judge?"
The subordinate officials around him did not dare to say anything for a while.
On the contrary, the two servants behind him wanted to step forward to scold him, but the magistrate stopped him with his hand.
"Such magic is naturally wonderful and profound, but since the Taoist Priest is wearing a Taoist robe, he is not an ordinary magician. Naturally, Gao wanted to see if the Taoist Priest is really Taoist and knows magic, or if he just borrowed this Taoist robe for more convenience. He asked the people for some money."
"hehe……"
The Seventh Senior Brother laughed when he heard this.
In fact, he was not like some jugglers who performed tricks and devised other tricks to add to the impression. But at this time, someone came to his door. It seemed that his identity was not simple, and he didn't mind accompanying him. sentence to attract more people.
After all, he came here to perform, not only to raise money, but also to promote the reputation of the Sixth Senior Brother, making it easier for the Sixth Senior Brother to run the Taoist temple in the future.
So Brother Seven asked him:
"Then, according to the official's opinion, how can Pindao prove that Pindao has a true Taoist practice and knows real magic?"
"Does the Taoist priest have any other skills besides this blinding method?"
"Of course there is!"
The seventh senior brother laughed and asked him, "Let's see if the official is willing to cooperate."
"How to cooperate?"
"How far apart are you and me right now?"
The county magistrate didn't know what he wanted, but he answered calmly:
"About two feet."
"What did the officer bring when he went out?"
"An official seal, a private seal, a sachet, and two taels of silver."
"Where did the officer put them all?"
"You are in my arms!"
"Can I take a look?"
"naturally……"
The magistrate put his hand into his arms and touched it, his expression suddenly changed.
He touched his waist again, and his color changed again.
The magistrate looked forward and saw the Taoist laughing and putting his hand into his sleeve. When he stretched it out, he already had four things in his hand.
