Everyone looked around and saw that the person speaking was a Taoist priest. His clothes were a little old and tattered. His appearance was hard to describe.
Especially the pair of triangular eyes, hanging upside down gives people a malicious feeling.
The villagers looked at the shiny plate and became anxious.
"Hey, I asked you, why do you just grab it?!"
The Taoist chuckled: "Isn't it just for the lay people to put here for people to eat? How can you say that the poor Taoist is robbing?"
The villager shouted: "Having said that, I also said that each person can taste a piece for free, but you, a Taoist priest, ate all my food in one go. Just now, this gentleman was planning to taste it~!"
The native said and pointed to Nie Mingcheng.
The Taoist spread his hands and said, "Maybe you are a layman, but your voice is too soft. I didn't hear it before, right?"
The native pointed at the Taoist and said "you, you, you" for a long time, then waved his hand at the end.
He said helplessly: "Forget it, just think I'm unlucky. You can go and don't stop me from selling pears."
Then he took out a big pear, cut it into small pieces and put it on the wooden plate. He glanced at the Taoist, pulled out a wooden board from the bottom of the car, and took out a piece of limestone from his arms, "Shua shua." "Shua" and write down a few words.
“Each person has one piece, try it first before buying it, it’s genuine.”
After finishing writing, he stared at this person.
Nie Mingcheng narrowed his eyes.
A mere country porter can actually write? ! Although there is no sense of beauty at all.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist didn't care at all about the countryman's driving looks, but continued to lick his face and reach out.
"Householder, I am short on money, but your pears are really sweet, so please give another one to me!"
The villagers refused decisively.
He kept waving his hands to drive them away, but the Taoist refused to leave.
The villager was angry and scolded: "You are a Taoist priest who is also a man with all your hands and feet. Why do you do this thing of wagging your lips and begging?! Now you can't support yourself by doing whatever you want~?"
Nie Mingcheng was deeply convinced after hearing this.
I didn’t expect that a mere hawker in this area would understand this.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist said: "You have hundreds of pears in your cart. I am just asking for a pear, and there is no big loss to the layman. Why do you have to make such a big fuss?"
Seeing this man pestering him so hard that he couldn't do business, the villager's face turned red with anger.
Other onlookers at the market gathered around to watch the fun, and the number of people gradually increased. Some people advised the villagers to just give a pear of slightly different quality to the Taoist priest, but the villagers refused.
"The official who gave me this kind of money once told me that no matter how hard you work, you will gain something."
"The pears I grew myself were bought by the government with money. Why should I give them to you as soon as you, a Taoist priest, open your mouth?!"
The Taoist was still entangled, and the scene became increasingly noisy.
Nie Mingcheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the money and bought a pear as a gift to the Taoist priest and sent him away.
The Taoist glanced at Nie Mingcheng strangely. His pair of upside-down triangular eyes were squeezed together, making him very uncomfortable.
After thanking him, he looked around and looked at the villagers again.
That look contained evil intentions, but the native stared back without showing any signs of weakness.
The Taoist priest bowed to the onlookers and said with a smile: "I am a monk, and I am not stingy with the things I have. I have good pears now, and I am willing to take them out and treat everyone to eat pears."
Someone on the sidelines asked: "Since there are pears, why don't you eat them yourself?"
The Taoist smiled strangely, shook his head and said, "Don't you hear that being happy alone is not as good as having everyone happy!"
"However, if I want to treat everyone to a pear, Pindao needs the core of this pear to make seeds."
As he spoke, he held the pear in both hands and chewed it. After eating it in three or two times, he put the pear core in his hand, took off the small shovel on his shoulder, and dug a few feet deep in the mud on the side of the road. pit, put the pear core into the pit and cover it with soil. Asking people on the street for hot water to water the soil.
This series of behaviors of the Taoist caused a lot of discussion among the onlookers.
"If you pour hot water on it, won't it kill it?!"
"Shouldn't the key point be why it was buried? Could it be said that if it is buried now, will the pear tree grow up immediately?~"
"Shh~~Maybe? Maybe, this person really has magical powers?!"
"..."
Nosy people ask for scalding hot water at roadside shops.
"Now, Pindao will use my Taoist magic - as soon as the flowers bloom, all the lay people will be able to eat crispy big pears."
The Taoist priest took the hot water and poured it into the pit, muttering something in a formal manner.
Just read it.
Pointing his finger at the ground, he shouted loudly: "Imperial order! Be as urgent as a law!~"
The onlookers didn't blink an eye.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "It's moving, it's moving! The land is moving!~"
Then.
Everyone saw that the soil began to sprout rapidly, and then it grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing into a pear tree with lush branches and leaves. Then, the pear tree bloomed, and after a while, it began to bear fruit. The pears were huge, fragrant, and full of fruit.
Nie Mingcheng looked stunned, his mind racing.
Is there such magic in this world? !
If it were used on farmers’ crops, wouldn’t it mean that no one would starve to death anymore? ~
Thinking of this, Nie Mingcheng looked at this Taoist with admiration and enthusiasm. This was a real master!
I must get to know him, if I can persuade him to serve the imperial court...
Thoughts stopped.
At this moment, Nie Mingcheng remembered that he had lost his position as general judge. Moreover, he was still under the jurisdiction of the bandit army. It was unknown whether he would survive to wait until the royal master of the court...
The Taoist stood on the top of the tree, picked pears and gave them to the bystanders around him. In an instant, all the pears were given away.
Nie Mingcheng felt his sleeves tighten at this moment, and found that it was his daughter pulling on them.
"Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"
Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened and she said, "Dad, what is this Taoist priest doing?"
"Why didn't anyone stop him?! Even the owner of the pear didn't care about him?~"
Nie Mingcheng was confused.
But the Taoist's ears moved and he heard Nie Xiaoqian's whisper.
He suddenly turned around and stared at Nie Xiaoqian gloomily with a pair of hanging triangular eyes, which made her body shiver.
There was a faint light in the Taoist's eyes, and Nie Xiaoqian felt that her eyes were blurred, and her head felt as heavy as if she had been sick for a month.
"Bah!"
"In broad daylight, you, a Taoist priest, dare to deceive the world with blind tricks. It is not good for you to be the sword of the [Demon Slayer]~!"
A loud shout shook people's hearts, and everyone suddenly felt their hearts dazzled, and the scene in front of them changed instantly.
Nie Xiaoqian's mind suddenly became clear.
Look again, where are the pear trees?
Then the pear in his hand is...?
"Ah!~"
"My pears, where are my pears?!"
The villagers exclaimed in panic. Looking at the pears in the hands of the onlookers, everyone immediately understood what happened.
At first, when the Taoist priest began to practice the magic, the villagers stood in the middle of the crowd out of curiosity, stretching their necks to see what the Taoist priest was doing. Somehow they even forgot about their pears.
Shocked by the loud shout, he finally realized that the pears that the Taoist priest had just distributed to the bystanders were all pears from his own car.
The villagers yelled angrily: "It's you! It's you, you monster!~"
Although he was furious, he was frightened by the Taoist's methods and did not dare to step forward. The others were also very discerning and knew that the Taoist was powerful, so they immediately retreated a few meters.
The Taoist tilted his head and stared at the person who made the noise at an extremely awkward angle. He was a scholar, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he seemed to be powerless.
"Hey! A scholar disturbs the Taoist master's interest..."
"But I didn't expect that when I came down the mountain, I met two people who could see through Master Dao's magic. They are quite qualified!"
"But you kid disturbed the Taoist master's interest. This fairy fate is no longer yours."
The Taoist looked at Nie Xiaoqian with eyes wide open, revealing a hint of evil desire.
"My dear lady, you are a good person, why not follow the Taoist master? The Taoist master has a supreme magic method that can make you enjoy the ultimate happiness in the world...!"
Nie Xiaoqian was frightened by the Taoist's eyes and hid behind Nie Mingcheng.
"Dad~!"
Nie Mingcheng understood the salivation in the Taoist's eyes, became furious and shouted loudly.
"The Demonic Way..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Because he has fallen into the Taoist's body-fixing technique.
Since the Taoist lost his interest in playing tricks, he directly used magic.
Nie Xiaoqian noticed that her father was acting strangely and was panicked. She looked around asking for help, but everyone was retreating. They did not want to get burned.
Only the scholar strode forward and stood in front of Nie Xiaoqian, looking upright and self-respecting.
He said with emotion: "You are a demon who uses strange magic to harm people. Are you really not afraid of the [Demon Slayer]?!"
The Demon Slayer?
what?
"Hehehehe... I didn't want to worry about you at first, but now that I'm here, I'll let you go with me!"
tomato
"Demon Slayer?? If you have the ability, let them come to Master Dao."
The Taoist waved his sleeve, and both the scholar and Nie Xiaoqian fell into unconsciousness.
The Taoist caught the two of them, and a strange wind blew by, and the three figures disappeared in an instant.
"Xiaoqian!..."
Nie Mingcheng's body froze, unable to move, so he could only scream.
Her heart was in a state of panic. This demon was directly kidnapping people in public. Xiaoqian was only afraid that... it would be a disaster! ~
Now, what should we do? ?
At this time, some of the passers-by spoke.
"The person who was arrested with that woman just now seems to be Mr. Xiao Ning, right?!"
"Yes, it's Mr. Xiao Ning. Despite his young age, he is from the academy!~"
"Quick, quick, quick, let's go to the academy to report the news, and then some people will report to the official. There is something evil at work..."
Perhaps the evil spirit had left, and Nie Mingcheng's magic soon lost its effectiveness.
But, he was so lost that he didn't know what to do?
Until he heard the word "report to the official", his heart was lifted.
However, when Nie Mingcheng thought that the so-called "reporter" was asking for help from the [Taiping Road] bandit army, his heart suddenly became disgusted and tangled.
In his mind, if he did this, to a certain extent, it would mean that he recognized the legal existence of [Taiping Dao].
"But... Xiaoqian..."
………………
There was a countryman selling pears in the market, and a demon was causing trouble and making fools of the people. The beautiful girl discovered the truth and brought disaster to her life. The scholar spoke uprightly and was kidnapped. He left a message saying, "I am incompetent in the lawsuit. Do you dare to find a mountain person?"
