The three heavenly masters, with the golden boy and beautiful girl behind them, staggered to the altar.
When the lingering clouds and mist dissipated, they were already sitting there peacefully, each of them acting like an expert from outside the world.
After the three heavenly masters sat down, someone immediately jumped out of the crowd.
Yes, it was jumping, because he was lame on one leg.
A beggar was walking on crutches, with one bandaged leg dragging on the ground. He jumped in front of the three heavenly masters and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing.
"Heavenly Master, save me! Heavenly Master, save me!"
Chen Tianyou showed an expression of pity and love, strode to the beggar, and helped him up.
"My friend, there is no need to give this big gift. If you have anything, just tell the three heavenly masters. As long as you are pious, you will be saved!"
"Really!?"
Beggar excitedly grabbed Chen Tianyou, leaving a conspicuous black palm print on his hand.
"Tianshi Tao never lies to others!" Chen Tianyou looked serious.
Saying this, he moved away to let the Heavenly Master behind him see the miserable beggar in front of him.
Among the three heavenly masters, Zhang Tianling, who was sitting in the middle, stretched out his hand and waved to the beggar, "Come on, come forward."
"Heavenly Master, save me!"
The beggar sobbed, dragged his legs on the ground and knelt down in front of the three heavenly masters, kowtowing constantly.
Zhang Tianling stepped down from the Grand Master's chair, gently supported Beggar and asked him to stand up.
"Come, tell me what difficulties and difficulties you have?"
"My name is Li Ergou. I grew up alone and begged for food. A few years ago, I was accidentally run over by a carriage when I was begging for food. I have been lame since then. It hurts so much on rainy days. I heard that the Heavenly Master helps people in distress. , so I came everywhere to seek help from mages!”
"Oh, he is also a miserable person." Zhang Tianling shook his head.
When everyone heard what happened to Li Ergou, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, lamenting that fate was unfair to the poor.
Zhang Tianling looked around and finally stretched out his hand, "Come, get my rejuvenation ruler!"
When Liu Banxian heard this, he immediately sat up straight, stretched his neck and looked forward.
As Zhang Tianling shouted, a boy immediately walked out from behind the screen, respectfully holding the black and white ruler with both hands.
"That's right, one of our Liu family's two demon-suppressing rulers!" Liu Banxian's teeth chattered.
"Is that the rejuvenation ruler?"
"What is the ruler of rejuvenation? The ruler of beautiful mountains and rivers!"
Liu Banxian's high-pitched voice suddenly attracted the attention of the people around him.
Yin Xiu quickly grabbed him, made an apologetic gesture to everyone, and tapped her temples with her fingers. This time, those people cast relieved looks.
On the other side, the boy had respectfully handed the Shanhe Splendid Ruler to Zhang Tianling's hand.
Zhang Tianling took the ruler, waved it in his hand, and muttered something.
Immediately afterwards, he touched the ruler over Li Ergou's head. At that moment, the ruler glowed brightly, as if he was holding a light tube.
Everyone was amazed when they saw this scene, except Liu Banxian who was quite disdainful.
"Is that man very powerful?" Yin Xiu was a little surprised.
"There's a fart!"
Liu Banxian's eyes widened, "The Liu family's beautiful ruler will glow like this as long as it touches someone other than a dead person. It is a treasure of heaven and earth! All treasures of heaven and earth are like this!"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, just read on."
Yin Xiu patted him on the back a few times.
After Zhang Tianling stroked Li Ergou's head with a ruler, the beggar immediately lost his sight and stood up unsteadily following his guidance.
"Come, let's go, let's go..."
Zhang Tianling put the ruler on his shoulder and walked slowly, step by step. Li Ergou followed him. The legs that seemed to have been scrapped gradually became stronger, supporting him to move forward.
"A miracle, what a miracle!"
"Zhang Tianshi shows off his power!"
"Li Ergou, this cripple, can walk!"
The protective voice became louder and louder. Although Li Ergou gradually became familiar with the strength and method of walking, he could no longer tell the difference from ordinary people.
In excitement, Li Ergou knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Infected by him, many people clasped their hands and worshiped the Heavenly Master.
"What do you think?" Ma Xiaoyu looked at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu touched his chin, unable to figure out the way for a while.
Liu Banxian was even more confused. When did the Shanhe Jinxiu Ruler have the effect of curing diseases, saving lives, and regenerating lame people with broken legs?
If it was really so magical, Liu Banxian wouldn't have sold it for money in the first place. Even if he couldn't understand it based on Feng Shui, he might as well use it to treat illnesses and save people!
"Did you make a mistake and were fooled by him?" Ren Qi said suddenly.
"Oh? What do you say?" Liu Banxian took off half of his sunglasses and looked at the cold swordsman.
"It's very simple. It's not about his magic power or the function of this ruler. You are all thinking about who this person is, what magic he uses, and what sect he belongs to. I am the only one who doesn't care at all who these three bastards are. The road, so I can see it clearly.”
Ren Qi sneered, his eyes full of contempt for the farce in front of him.
"Tsk!"
Liu Banxian glared at Ren Qi, "Master, we are asking you to answer our questions, not to pretend to be cool and show that we are ignorant."
"Did I think so?" Ren Qi wondered.
"But you did do this." Yin Xiu sighed.
"Okay."
Ren Qi cleared his throat.
"It's very simple. The clothes on that beggar's body are so shabby, a little dark here and a little dirty there, but the bandage is extremely new and white.
Why is it that he has the money and energy to go to the doctor and get his medicine changed, but he doesn’t think of cleaning himself up while attending such an important Dharma meeting today?
Also, Li Ergou is indeed a cheap name. It is not surprising that country people would give names like Cat and Dog in order to make a living for their children.
But he is a beggar, a beggar who doesn’t have enough to eat. What name does he want?
I have seen many beggars. They are all called Ah Q, ah, etc. You can just find a word from anywhere to serve as a title. But this Li Ergou has a name and a surname. For a beggar, it is a bit too luxurious. .
Therefore, I speculated that this beggar was summoned by someone from the Celestial Master Taoism, and he specially cooperated with the believers and believers to sing a show of skillful hands and benevolence.
They are no different from those witches and wizards who perform great dances. ”
After listening to Ren Qi's analysis, Liu Banxian couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Master, why didn't I find you so eloquent and thoughtful before?"
"That's because you didn't ask me."
Ren Qi clasped his hands together, not taking it seriously, "In the remote counties in the north, those Dharma kings and protectors of the White Lotus Sect often do this.
Either they use sweet potato skins to look like hot coals, or they put vinegar under the pot and pretend to be boiling oil, performing deceptions of copper skin and iron bones, which are worse than those who run around in the world and break big rocks. ”
"So, they are fake?" Ma Xiaoyu murmured.
"Of course it's fake."
Ren Qi glanced at the three of them and said, "You have played a lot of real things, you have moved mountains and filled seas, and you have been able to control the wind and rain, so you don't think it's strange to see others using magical powers that ordinary people can't even imagine. Just because you Know more spells, better ones.
But how can there be so many spells and supernatural powers in the world? Most of them are just pretending.
Those of us who lick blood from the tip of a knife are the least likely to believe these tricks, even when we see them in front of our eyes. ”
"That's a good thing." Yin Xiu nodded.
Then he looked at Liu Banxian, "What should I say, should we start now or wait until the meeting is over?"
"Meeting adjourned?"
Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses, "Can I wait? Look, I'm going to take off their peep show right now!" "It's not a peep show, it's a Bagua mirror."
Yin Xiu stood up together with Liu Banxian, and pushed back the congregant next to him who was about to stand up first.
When Chen Tianyou saw the two of them, he immediately recognized them as the two they met on the pier yesterday, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
He smiled and said: "You two, do you need the Heavenly Master to answer your questions or eliminate disasters and illnesses?"
"Yes, yes!"
Yin Xiu took the lead to walk to the center of the field, turned around, looked around, and said loudly: "I'm sick!"
"I know."
Chen Tianyou nodded, "Any disease can be solved by the three heavenly masters, as long as you are pious enough."
"Pious! I have always been religious."
"What about you?" Chen Tianyou looked at Liu Banxian, who had an angry expression on his side, a little puzzled.
"Me too! I have been worshiping Master Guan as my godfather since I was born. There is no one more pious than me!"
Chen Tianyou scratched his head. He really couldn't figure out what the relationship between accepting a god as his godfather was and whether he was pious or not. But when he saw that Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian's expressions didn't look like they were joking, he could only nod and get out of the way.
"Okay, then please two of you meet the Heavenly Master, and the Heavenly Master will bless you."
Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian stepped forward together and walked to the seats of the three heavenly masters.
Zhang Tianling nodded and stretched out his hand to signal, but saw that the two of them were motionless.
"Huh? That's it?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then another Celestial Master said with a majestic voice: "When you arrive at the altar of Celestial Master Dao and see me, why don't you kneel down?"
"I can't bend my knees."
"My waist is as hard as iron."
"It seems that the illness is not serious," Zhang Tianling wiped the sweat from his head, "Young man, you come first."
When Yin Xiu heard this, he took another step forward.
"Come, put your hands together and recite my Heavenly Master's Taoist formula silently in your heart. Look at your nose with your eyes, and your nose with your heart. The spiritual platform will be empty and bright!"
Yin Xiu complied, so Zhang Tianling held the ruler in one hand and secretly held something in his other hand, touching Yin Xiu's eyes with both hands at the same time.
"The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Yuanshi Tianzun~~ saves the suffering and overcomes the difficulties! He shows his great power!!!"
He waved his broad sleeves violently, and while retracting his ruler, he opened his palms towards Yin Xiu.
At this moment, Yin Xiu stretched out his hand and closed Zhang Tianling's hand again.
"This is it?" he asked in surprise.
Yin Xiu grinned, "No, just look at which Western medicine factory the Tianshi uses."
With a slight twist of his hand, Zhang Tianling loosened his palm and the gray powder in his palm fell to the ground.
"How did you know!?" Zhang Tianling's eyes widened.
"Because there is a foreign priest in my place who works this way, but he gives me holy water."
"He is the same as me, charging more than ten yuan for a pack of medicinal powder?"
"We won't charge you any money." Yin Xiu shook his head, "I'll even subsidize you with a bag of flour."
"Is that person stupid?"
"Maybe." Yin Xiu grinned.
Zhang Tianling saw him laughing and couldn't help but laugh too. He suddenly turned his hand and stabbed Yin Xiu's face with the ruler in his hand.
"You are so bold and evil, how dare you act arrogantly in front of me!"
Yin Xiu turned a blind eye and just let Zhang Tianling stab the magic ruler at him. At such a close distance, the opponent missed the target and passed directly by his ear.
"Come again." Yin Xiu said.
"Presumptuous!"
Zhang Tianling turned the ruler and swept it hard towards Yin Xiu's temple. This time, it was swept from the top of his head.
As Yin Xiu let go of his hand, Zhang Tianling used too much force and stumbled down.
"The monster! The monster is coming!"
The other two people realized that Yin Xiu was here to cause trouble, and jumped up from their seats.
At this time, Yin Xiu did not look at them, but slowly picked up the ruler from the ground and handed it to Liu Banxian.
"Splendid Ruler of Mountains and Rivers, right?"
Liu Banxian held the ruler in his arms, as excited as a child, "Yes, that's right, the Mountain and River Splendid Ruler! One of the heirloom magic weapons of my Liu family!"
"You can take it this time." Yin Xiu grinned.
While the two were talking, the three heavenly masters had gathered together and stood in perfect shape.
"Who are you two?"
"Just a Taoist priest and a fortune teller passing by."
Zhang Tianling glared at Yin Xiu, "Since you are traveling with us, why do you come to pick a fight?"
"Who is traveling with you?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "I am a serious Taoist priest, and he is a serious Feng Shui master. What about the three of you? The entire Tianshi Dao is nothing serious, but a serious liar!"
"The Celestial Master Tao, there is no Celestial Master, and there is no Tao." Liu Banxian added.
"Presumptuous!"
The three heavenly masters looked at each other, nodded, and simultaneously formed the sword formula with their hands, raised it above their heads, and connected the points with their left feet on the ground.
"Master, help me! I sincerely invite Yuanshi Tianzun, Taibai Jinxing to appear as a saint, and give me special magic power. I am urgent like a law!"
In an instant, smoke filled the air, and waves of white eyes spurted out from the sleeves and trousers of the three people, covering the surrounding ground.
As the sharp suona sounded and the huqin and drums played, the three heavenly masters and the boys and girls holding the canopy behind their backs and holding cattail fans rose into the air and stood above the clouds again.
Standing in the clouds, Zhang Tianling looked down at the two of them, "Who were you two instructed by the evildoer to come to the altar to cause trouble? Do you really not know how powerful I am?"
Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian were speechless.
The believers once again marveled, and their beliefs that had been shaken by Yin Xiu became firm again. They couldn't help but bow to the three heavenly masters, just like worshiping immortals.
Only Ma Xiaoyu and Ren Qi were still sitting, unmoved.
"Girl, why don't you worship? Praying to the gods will prolong your life."
An old woman raised her head and pulled Ma Xiaoyu's sleeve.
"Mother-in-law, I'm inconvenient today." Ma Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"What about you, little one, oh, what about you, old man?" Grandma asked again.
Ren Qi originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but the people lying on the ground around him all cast doubtful glances at him.
Unable to bear it anymore, Ren Qi grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground and threw it in that direction.
The pebbles penetrated into the tornado-like clouds and mist beneath the Three Heavenly Masters.
As the sounds of pain came and went, the smoke disappeared. The people who were originally hiding in the clouds and mist supporting the platform fell to the ground. The three heavenly masters and the golden boys and girls fell from the clouds to the ground together. (End of chapter)
