Chapter 8 third quarter

A while ago, around Xijing area as the center, there was a man named Master Qingyuan, who performed magic tricks at crossroads everywhere in exchange for rewards. Sometimes the high-toothed clogs, broken straw sandals, and sandals worn by the audience on rainy days are turned into puppies, which let the puppies run around; sometimes they take out squeaky foxes from their arms. Master Aozuru lives off bounties thrown by spectators, and his magic is widely acclaimed. Occasionally, a cow or horse would be brought in from nowhere, and they would perform magic tricks such as getting in from their hips and crawling out of their mouths.

One day, Hanshuiweng passed by by chance and saw the magic of Master Qingyuan. Hanshuiweng was very interested in this kind of weird magic, but after seeing the magic of Master Qingyuan, he was so intoxicated that he couldn't extricate himself. Hanshuiweng wandered around the crossroads every day, chasing Qingyuan, and as a result, he also wanted to learn magic. While thinking about it, Hanshui Weng finally said to Qing Yuan: "Can you please teach me this magic trick?" It is said that Qingyuan replied at that time: "This magic cannot be easily taught to others." Qingyuan didn't take Hanshuiweng's request seriously at all, but Hanshuiweng certainly didn't retreat because of this.

"Please be sure to open the door of convenience on this point." "I can't help it. Well, if you really want to learn this magic, it's not impossible." "Are you willing to pass it on to me?" "Hey, don't be so hasty. I am not the one who taught you. I can take you to a certain adult in the future, and you can ask him for advice at that time. All I can do is to take you to that adult." "Please take care of everything." "However, before taking you there, you must abide by a few conditions I said, can you do it?" "Please do as you command."

"First of all, you must fast and cleanse yourself for seven days without anyone knowing about it, and then prepare a brand new wooden barrel with clean rice cakes in it and carry it by yourself. Then come to my place again." "As ordered." "One more thing, if you really want to learn this secret technique, you must obey the other thing I said." "What's up?" "That is, you must never bring a knife with you." "It's easy to handle, as long as you don't bring a knife. I am an open-minded person who asks for advice, and I have no objection."

"Then, please remember that you must never bring a knife..." "yes." In this way, Hanshuiweng cleansed himself immediately after returning home, wrapped a straw rope to ward off evil spirits, closed the door to thank guests, and fasted for seven days at home.In addition, clean rice cakes are also made and served in brand new wooden barrels. When he was about to go to Master Qingyuan, he suddenly became concerned about the prohibition of bringing knives. Why are you not allowed to bring knives? The mage deliberately proposed to ban knives, the more he thought about it, the more strange he became.If you don't have a knife on you, what will happen in case of an accident?

After thinking about it, Hanshui Weng finally decided to sneak a dagger with him. He sharpened and sharpened the dagger very carefully, and, keeping it carefully in his bosom, went out to the mage. "I will follow your instructions." Hanshui Weng said to Master Qingyuan. "You definitely didn't bring a knife..." the mage urged again. "Of course." Hanshui Weng broke out in a cold sweat, nodded and replied. "Then let's go." Hanshui Weng carried a wooden barrel on his shoulder and a dagger in his arms, and followed behind the mage. Walking and walking, the mage gradually walked into an unknown mountain.

Hanshuiweng started to feel a little scared, but still followed behind the mage. After a while, the mage stopped. "I'm so hungry." The mage turned to Hanshuiweng and said, "Just eat that rice cake." Hanshuiweng unloaded the wooden bucket from his shoulders, and the mage reached out to grab the rice cakes and devoured them hungrily. "Do you want to eat too?" "No, I don't need to." Hanshuiweng picked up the lighter wooden barrel again, and followed the mage into the deeper mountains. Before I knew it, it was dusk. "Oh, it's really not easy to come to such a far place." Hanshui Weng said to himself.

The two continued to walk forward, and when the sun went down, they came to a clean and tidy monk's room. "You wait here a moment." The mage asked Hanshuiweng to wait outside, and walked into the monk's room. Hanshuiweng watched the mage, and saw the mage stopped in front of the small fence and coughed twice. Then, someone opened the paper lattice window in the back room, and an old monk appeared. Taking a closer look, the old monk's eyelashes were very long, and the clothes on his body seemed elegant and noble, but his nose seemed a little too pointed, and his long teeth were exposed in his mouth.

Moreover, there was a smelly breeze blowing from the old monk. "You haven't come for a long time." The old monk whispered to the mage. "The junior hasn't seen you for a long time, please forgive me. The junior brought a gift today." "gift?" "Yes. There was a man who said he wanted to serve the lord, and the junior brought him here." "You probably talked nonsense again as before, and you kidnapped him. Where is that man?" "It's over there..." The mage turned around. The eyes of the mage and the old monk met Hanshui Weng's.

Hanshuiweng nodded slightly, his heart was already beating like a drum. Then, two young monks holding candles appeared and lit candles around the monk's room. "come on." The mage called Hanshuiweng, but Hanshuiweng had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the door. Hanshui Weng stood next to the mage, and the mage took the barrel from Hanshui Weng and put it on the floor of the corridor. "It's rice cakes." "It looks delicious..." The old monk's red tongue was faintly visible. At this time, Hanshui Weng really wanted to go home immediately.

Both the mage and the old monk are terrifying.Hanshui Weng really wanted to yell "Wow" and run away, but he could only hold back. "What was the result? The man didn't hide a knife in his arms, right?" The old monk looked at Hanshuiweng with blazing eyes and said, "If you want to use a knife to skin the old monk's skin, it will be terrible..." Hanshuiweng felt an indescribable fear. "Yes, I have ordered it repeatedly..." the mage replied. "However, it's better to be careful. Come..." The old monk called out to the young monk. "yes." "Go and check the man's arms to see if he has hidden knives." The little monk walked down the courtyard and came towards Hanshuiweng. oops!Hanshuiweng cried inwardly that something was wrong.If the little monk really came to search him, the fact that he had hidden a short knife in his pocket would come to light. Wouldn't it be too bad?I will definitely die under the hands of the mage and the old monk. Since there is a dead end, it is better to slash the old monk with the dagger in his arms.Hanshuiweng thought to himself. The little monk came over. The little monk came over and looked at Hanshuiweng. "Oh!" the little monk cried out. "What's wrong?" the old monk asked. "This guest officer is shaking all over his body." Just when everyone hadn't heard what the little monk said, they suddenly—— "Wow!" Hanshuiweng pulled out the dagger in his arms and shouted, pushed the little monk away, and jumped into the corridor. As soon as he jumped up, he rushed towards the old monk. "Ah!" Hanshuiweng slashed at the old monk with a short knife. Just as he thought he had hit the target, a cry came from his ear. "Danger!" The old monk yelled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. At the same time, the little monk and the monk's room also disappeared. Hanshuiweng looked around and found himself in an unknown Buddhist hall. Take a closer look, and find that the mage who brought him here is shaking. "It's over, why did you do such a bold thing!" After the mage finished speaking, he cried and cursed at Hanshuiweng: "Originally, as long as you let the old monk eat you obediently, you will be fine, and you will not survive anyway. As a result, after you disturb me like this, my fate will be the same as yours! " The mage raised his head to the sky, "Aww! Aww!" and wept loudly. While yelling, the mage's appearance gradually changed. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the mage had turned into a big blue monkey. Woohoo!Woohoo! While crying, the big monkey ran out of the Buddhist hall and disappeared into the deep mountains.
