Chapter 209
The platform was built and the altar was set up. The middle-aged man who asked for the mission changed into a yellow Taoist robe and walked up the platform step by step with great momentum. The two little boys he brought with him, one holding a dustpan and the other holding a peach wood sword, followed him up the platform and stood at the two corners of the platform.
The master stood in the middle of the platform with his eyes closed. His goatee trembled slightly, and he must be chanting some kind of spell. His mysterious tone made the noise from the people sitting inside and outside quiet down.
Lu Daju, who had sharp ears, heard the so-called master pretending to chant: "Big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, big and small yellow croaker, they are all mine, one on the left, one on the right, one after another."
He repeated this sentence in his throat very quickly, over and over again, so that it sounded like a spell.
At the beginning, Lu Daju was very interested in watching how this master would perform. But who knew that this guy would stand on the stage and talk nonsense, without changing his posture or words, and just repeating the same things over and over again, like big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker. After a cup of tea, he was exhausted.
Lu Daju was bored and planned to leave, thinking that he could see some ancient martial arts tricks. Just standing in the middle and posing was meaningless. He stood up lightly on the branch and prepared to leave.
"Surrender! Holding the lotus! Amoghavajra! Subdue the victorious one! Reveal! Reveal!" The motionless stone suddenly roared loudly, and the movements of its hands were extremely dazzling.
The crowd who had been getting impatient and making a little commotion suddenly quieted down again. Lu Daju didn't leave either, but stood on the tree branch to see what was going on.
The master punched, kicked, and did a backflip on the stage. He turned half a circle and just in time pulled out the peach wood sword from the little boy's arms. He turned around and walked to the altar again and grabbed the three yellow talismans on the altar.
Dahao said, "I respectfully invite you! Descend, all the gods and immortals! Bind the demons and subdue the evil! The demons have appeared! Hurry and obey the command!"
Lu Daju's mouth twitched as he listened. What the hell is going on? The first part is Buddhist, the second part is Taoist. It seems your acting doesn't even differentiate between Buddhism and Taoism. Is Lu Daju trying to see what kind of monster this mess of incantations can summon? How is he supposed to act out the rest of the story?
The master threw the three yellow talismans in his hand into the sky. As the talismans flew down, the peach wood sword in his right hand slashed through the air. At a distance of two or three meters, the three yellow talismans suddenly caught fire in the air.
The burning speed was very fast, causing a lot of noise from the spectators around.
Everyone who travels the world has two or three specialties of his own, otherwise how can he please those big bosses with a lot of money.
Lu Daju couldn't help but clap his hands twice. This remote ignition of the talisman paper really required some skills. He threw out three talisman papers with white phosphorus, and then swung the peach wood sword. There was a small mechanism at the front end of the peach wood sword, and the things inside were thrown out and hit the talisman paper, which instantly ignited the fire. The performance was quite good.
Boom! The talisman paper ignited, and the master took three steps back, as if pushed back by some invisible force. At the same time, his face changed: "The monster is obvious, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye."
"Disciples." The master suddenly asked loudly, his voice drawn out.
"Here, Master." The little apprentices standing in the two corners also answered loudly. The voices of young children were more penetrating.
"I'll ask the questions and you'll answer them." He made a sword flower with the peach wood sword.
"Yes, Master."
"Is the monster coming?" He waved the peach wood sword and pointed it forward with a very chic movement.
"Here we are, Master." The two little children looked at the front of the altar as if they had really seen something.
"What does this monster look like?" The middle-aged man raised the peach wood sword in his hand and held it across his chest in a defensive posture. This series of actions really had the unrestrained style of a swordsman in the martial arts world.
"This monster is eight feet long, with black skin, golden eyes, and exposed fangs..." The two children answered in a very realistic manner, as if they had really seen something.
If Lu Daju hadn't been sitting on the tree, he would have thought there was really a monster there.
As the master and apprentice on the stage sang in unison, the crowd around them also followed suit with cheers of "eh, ah, wow". The rhythm of the performance by the old man in the martial arts world was just right, and everyone in the audience was brought into their question-and-answer situation.
Lu Daju, who has traveled through various worlds, certainly cannot be absorbed in this premature form of entertainment. He felt bored after watching the excitement for a while.
He looked around at the crowd, intending to find a way out, but suddenly his eyes paused and he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
It didn't even pause as it flew over everyone's heads. No one noticed the real big monster hiding its body. They were all concentrating on staring at the person performing the ritual in the municipal yard.
"This great god's acting is more exciting than yours."
A sarcastic male voice sounded in Yuan Caidie's ears, scaring her who was concentrating on watching the monster catcher. She was so scared that she almost screamed and her heart was pounding.
It took me a second to realize who the voice was. I turned around and saw a strange face with black hair, black eyebrows, and black eyes. The skin wasn't white, but it wasn't as dark as I remembered. Was it really the youkai with golden and blue eyes from that night?
The man raised his eyebrows, curled up one corner of his mouth, and said in the voice that Yuan Caidie remembered deep in her heart: "Why don't you recognize me?"
"It's my first time meeting Mr. Lu, so naturally I feel unfamiliar with him." Before that night, Yuan Caidie was still afraid of the legendary sponsor, but now she felt close to him. Although he was a monster that could change his appearance, she could not be afraid of him when she thought of the big cat that was caught in his hand that night.
If a big monster was threatening her, she would have someone to complain to, so she would not be afraid of him. What's more, Yuan Caidie also understood that this person might only be fierce in words and could not hurt her at all, so she was even less afraid.
"But this is also Yuan's fault. It's only because Yuan's skills are not good enough that he can't catch monsters like this master and thus attract Mr. Lu." Yuan Caidie spoke slowly and gently, but every word was full of thorns.
Lu Daju touched his nose. It was so much fun in the past. Every time he went to listen to an opera, he would ask for admission respectfully, just to see him. Now he was like a hedgehog with thorns. He blamed himself for pretending to be mysterious and not seeing him.
There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I have to call him grandpa. I just want to protect him to the best of my ability, but I don't know how to get along with him. It's better not to meet him.
"Don't call me Master Lu, just call me Lu Daju." Lu Daju introduced himself very seriously, but his name was so funny that no one could remember it.
"......" Yuan Caidie was speechless for a moment. Are the names of monsters so random?
"It's not that you sing badly, it's that I can't appreciate it. It's fun to watch a shaman dance like this, but I really can't understand the singing in a humming voice." Lu Daju said the truth.
Yuan Caidie was a little angry when she heard this. It seemed like sitting in the VIP seats in the theater and listening to him sing was a kind of torture. "That really delayed Mr. Lu's time to listen to music. Come to the theater and listen to me sing."
Listening to music? Lu Daju tilted his head.
"Uncle Lu, it's better not to come here in the future. There are endless songs to listen to in Chunmanyuan." As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Caidie threw her sleeves and left, without even watching the excitement. She blamed herself for worrying in vain. If only he could catch the monster, he would catch it. It was so infuriating.
