Chapter 74: Li Guanzhu is actually such a person!!
After a simple greeting, Jian Ruonan took the apple and ate it seriously.
Jian Chuyun only got a small green fruit, and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Jian Chuxue glanced at the fruit without even reaching out her hand.
She used to eat this kind of apple every day, such as Red Fuji, Australian green apples... She was tired of eating them, and she didn't take this kind of small fruit seriously.
She looked at Min Shi sincerely, but Min Shi always paid attention to Jian Ruonan without any distraction.
Jian Chuxue pinched her fingers angrily.
Min Shi used to care about her the most, but now all her attention is on Jian Ruonan.
Not only Min Shi, but Jian Xilu and Teng Ge'er have been surrounding Jian Ruonan.
You will all regret it if you lose the pearls and pick up the fish eyes!
Old Madam Shi curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you stay outside for so long?"
Jian Ruonan ate an apple and said mysteriously: "Grandma, the Taoists here are all liars!"
Old Madam Shi scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful not to displease the immortals!" When
Teng Ge'er saw his fifth sister being scolded, he immediately pouted and fought back: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can send someone outside to ask. There is a big quarrel outside."
"That Taoist Zhang castrated a big black dog in order to practice his sword skills. The big black dog came to scold people every day for five years. The young Taoist lied to everyone that the black dog was a bandit in his previous life, saying that Taoist Zhang was a general who suppressed bandits in his previous life. In fact, Taoist Zhang was a eunuch. He castrated the black dog and then himself. The black dog came to avenge the castration of his testicles!"
"The pilgrims are all shouting for their money back?"
"Grandma, you can't be fooled!"
Teng'er spoke in a childish voice, but his logic was clear, and he explained the matter clearly in a few sentences.
Old Lady Shi often came to the Taoist temple to hold a ceremony, and she also knew about the big black dog. Seeing that Teng'er's story was very convincing and there was indeed a noise outside, she was quite shaken.
For today's ritual, she gave three hundred taels of silver!
After a while, the temple master, Taoist Li, came over in person to explain: "The Taoist Zhang does not belong to this temple, but is a wandering wanderer who came here five years ago. He was a little pitiful at the time, and the poor Taoist took him in for the sake of fellow Taoists. I didn't expect him to be such a person. It's really a pity..."
Master Li shook his head helplessly.
In fact, he was extremely angry in his heart.
I don't know how many believers Zhang Guanren Daoist Priest has attracted by this trick. It's really strange. He hasn't been exposed for five years. Today, I don't know which bastard is doing this and making it known to everyone.
If he catches who it is, he will definitely not let him go easily.
"The Taoist priest is kind-hearted. It's better to drive this kind of person away early." Old Mrs. Shi believed him easily, and then began to discuss the matters of holding a ceremony.
Min took her children to the main hall to kowtow and pray.
Today is the first day of the new year, and many people lined up to hold a peace ceremony.
Those who have money can hold it for several days with a hundred taels of silver, and those who don't have money can hold it for one day with one tael of silver.
The offerings for the ceremony, such as the three animals, five grains and six vegetarian dishes, are all prepared by the pilgrims themselves, and the Taoist temple only provides some incense, wax and talisman paper.
Jian Ruonan stood by and did some calculations. When business was booming, the Taoist temple's daily income was as high as a thousand taels.
No wonder the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun in the main hall was covered with gold foil.
[One plus one equals one, three times seven equals twenty-one, rounding it up to five hundred thousand taels a year, which is higher than the tax revenue of a county town! ]
[Oh my god, this Taoist temple is too rich! ]
[They cheat and make a lot of money, but they can't even afford to eat after hard work. Sure enough, the way to make money is written in the criminal law. ]
[Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and get rid of these scammers. ] When Min
heard what was in her mind, her heart tightened.
Nan Nan, don't do anything stupid.
Taoist Li, the head of Qingxu Temple, is on good terms with the Imperial Master and Qintian Supervisor. It is said that he has some magical powers, and is not something that an ignorant old lady can easily fool.
If you are mistaken for a demon, you will be burned.
Unlike Min's worries, Teng Ge'er immediately smelled something interesting.
Hey, there is something exciting to watch again.
I missed the fifth sister being possessed by the Queen Mother last time, and now I feel so sorry when I think about it.
Min called Zangchun and asked her to keep an eye on the fifth lady and send someone to call her immediately if anything is wrong.
After visiting the main hall, Jian Ruonan heard that the ritual outside was ready, and she was curious and wanted to go and see the excitement.
Min was worried and took everyone with her.
The spacious backyard was crowded with pilgrims.
The pilgrims formed a square, with three layers inside and three layers outside filled with people.
In the middle of the crowd stood a long yellow pole, about ten meters high, fixed to the ground. On both sides of the pole were tied cold steel knives, which were tied in a staggered manner, like stair steps.
On the right side of the pole was a pot filled with tung oil, and on the left was a nailing machine.
It looked like they were going to perform climbing a knife mountain, descending an oil pot, and rolling a roof board.
At the beginning of the festival, Master Li held a dust whisk and directed the little Taoist priest to burn the god's clothes and paper money, and then muttered to himself.
After mumbling for a long time, he killed a rooster.
After killing the chicken, Li Guanzhu burned incense and knelt down to worship the sky, then made seals with his hands, closed his eyes and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop!"
After dozens of seconds, Li Guanzhu opened his eyes, "May God bless you!"
Then, he took off his socks, held the pole with both hands, stepped on the blade barefoot, and climbed up the pole step by step.
"Damn it——"
"Miracle——"
"As expected of the Guanzhu, he is so advanced!!!"
This performance successfully eliminated the impact of the black dog incident.
Jian Ruonan was also stunned.
That was a real steel knife, very sharp. The young Taoist priest put a strand of hair on the knife in advance, and the blade was sharp, so he easily cut off the hair.
[My old swan, what is the origin of Li Guanzhu? He can't really know any magic? ! 】
Teng Ge'er also nodded.
It was agreed that he was a liar?!
Min was extremely worried, fearing that Nan Nan would have some bad thoughts, so she was very nervous while eating the melon.
[Fuck, this Li Guanzhu... used to be a gigolo and lived on prostitutes!]
Jian Xilu almost believed that there were gods in the world, but when she heard this, she suddenly wilted.
The pilgrims were unable to accept this melon. What the
hell is he talking about?
Can a gigolo step on a steel knife with bare feet?!
What nonsense is he talking about?!
The pilgrims heard the voice in his heart and were about to scold him, but suddenly they realized that this was the kind-hearted person who had just exposed Li Daochang's bullying of Hei Gou. Their
attitudes changed immediately and they raised gentle questions.
"No way? How can a gigolo step on a blade with bare feet?!"
[Li Guanzhu used to be a juggler in a brothel. Who of the men who came to the brothel would watch the juggling? Li Guanzhu couldn't make any money, so he could only make a living by coaxing women.]
The pilgrims nodded. It made some sense.
Who would watch juggling in a brothel?
Is it because the courtesan is too ugly? !
Although this has nothing to do with Li Guanzhu stepping on a blade with bare feet, everyone still discussed it with gusto.
[Oh my god, he is not only a gigolo, he, he also...]
The ears of the pilgrims all stood up.
What else happened to him? Tell me!
Teng'er's face flushed with excitement. This is something a six-year-old human cub can hear.
Min looked at Teng Ge'er. If she hadn't been worried about the secret, she would have thrown Teng Ge'er back to the room.
[He was also a prostitute! ! ]
Pilgrim: ! !
What kind of weirdos are the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple? !
A man who practiced swordsmanship with a dog and then castrated himself with a sword, a combination of a pretty boy and a prostitute, and what are the other two? This kind friend, can you continue to dig deeper? !
