Chapter 26: Increase in Followers [Second Update]



"What did I say? I said these two people knew each other as scammers."

"Yeah, you did all this and even exchanged it for wisdom. If you're really capable, you can exchange it for me too!"

"These days, scammers are coming up with endless tricks. After three days of preparation, should we hire a guru now?"

"Hahaha, isn't this the master, he's already here."

"Young man, you're still young and don't learn well. What era is this? You should leave immediately. It will only make things difficult for the child."

"I don't know if he's a biological child. Could he be a human trafficker?"

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, and now they all looked at Lu Cijiu with wary suspicion. Huang Hui's wavering expression suddenly became firm. Her skinny, rough hands grasped Lu Cijiu's arm and she shouted excitedly, "Yes, a master is about exchanging wisdom."

"Oh, even the master has been called."

"Should I ask for money next?"

Lu Cijiu smiled slightly and said, "No charge."

Crowd: ...This liar heard it on purpose, right?

No one believed that it was a real exchange of wisdom, but instead they became wary. The scammer looked young but experienced, and they knew that they would be exposed as soon as they asked for money. So they offered it for free first to lure you in, and the next step would be to advertise, right?

Everyone held their breath and watched the show. Today they had to see what tricks this liar had and they had to expose them!

"Master, please save my son. I kowtow to you." Huang Hui put the child down and knelt on the ground. Lu Cijiu stopped her and said, "No need. That's not popular in modern society."

Onlookers: ...Young man, you know something about modern society.

You are still superstitious in modern society!

"In Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, if Lu Pan changed his heart and head, his wisdom would naturally change as well," Lu Cijiu said calmly.

Everyone: ???

"This is the first time I've seen a liar exaggerate like this. I've actually calmed down now because of the exaggeration. Anyone who believes it is a fool."

"Yes, I actually took the stories in Liaozhai seriously."

"You think you're the judge."

Everyone used their taunting skills, all with an attitude of "I'm going to see what you can do to me today."

In fact, it is more than just exchanging wisdom. The evil Taoist magic has had the magic of catching the living to replace the dead since ancient times. Literally, it means that someone whose life span has ended, or who has committed many evil things, in order to prolong his life or escape punishment after death, uses Taoist magic to find a surrogate for himself and keep himself at large.

Lu Cijiu had heard from his grandfather that some ancient books at home also contained these cases, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a wisdom today.

"Big sister, put the child down."

Huang Hui trusted Lu Cijiu very much, and without saying a word, she laid Guangzong flat on his back. She still loved the child, and spread one of her coats on the ground, carefully placed it there, and touched her son's head, crying, "Don't worry, Guangzong, he will be well soon, and he will be well soon."

The onlookers had sharp eyes, staring at Lu Cijiu as if he was being monitored. If the young liar did anything and hurt the children, they would call the police immediately.

Lu Cijiu unbuttoned two buttons of the child's shirt, pushed two fingers from both sides of the neck to behind the ears, and found it.

I didn't bring anything with me today, so I can only -

Lu Cijiu stared at his fingers and bit them.

"Fuck, this liar is making a killing, doesn't it hurt?"

"It's a TV drama scene. It hurts just watching people bite their fingers."

"I used to try to bite it, but I screamed in pain before the skin was even broken."

"Awesome."

Lu Cijiu almost joined the complaining. He was in pain, too, but compared to the future of his child, it was nothing. Besides, he'd bitten his finger so often that the skin had become thinner, and thin skin bleeds easily.

Bloody fingers quickly drew charms on either side of the child's cheeks.

"Find some incense. If you don't have any, a candle will do."

Lu Cijiu finally cast a spell on the child's head. It was the fifth day. If it lasted two more days, no one would be able to save him. The child would lose his wisdom and become stupid for the rest of his life.

"I have one here, how about this?" A young girl in the crowd took out a candle.

Lu Cijiu looked at it and said: ...

This girl must want a candlelight dinner.

The candle is pink, short, and comes in a small aluminum box.

"Sleep scented candles, okay?"

It had to be done. In large shopping malls, there were many candles like this, but if you were looking for incense and candles for funerals, there would probably be very few. Lu Bijiu thanked him and took the candle.

The girl blushed slightly. She was actually just watching the fun and handed it over intentionally to expose the liar. Unexpectedly, the liar was so handsome. She couldn't help but think in her heart, "Brother, stop lying. I'll steal the candles and feed you."

Then I felt a cold gaze, and the girl shivered. She looked up and thought, "Wow, this guy has such a handsome face and long hair. I love him, you liar. I'm sorry, I've fallen in love with someone else."

Lu Cijiu, who was in love with someone else, lit the candle.

Holding the child's head slightly tilted, he held a candle a few centimeters away and began to burn the child's ears. Suddenly, the crowd erupted in shouts of "What the hell are you doing? Are you burning the child? Stop it now!" "This mother is hopeless! She didn't take her child to the hospital when he got sick, and now she's doing this!" "I'm calling the police, I'm warning you to stop!" and so on.

Lu Cijiu ignored him and quickly found it under the orange candlelight.

It was a thin needle. Lu Cijiu pinched one end between his two fingers and pulled it out little by little. It was a full two inches long.

"Holy crap, look, the con man pulled a needle out from behind the kid's ear."

"Wozhi really has a needle."

"Could it be that the scammer changed hands too quickly?"

"Impossible. I was just recording it and even zoomed in. Seriously, a needle that long."

The crowd suddenly fell silent, as if their worldview had been reshaped by what they saw. How could such a long needle get stuck behind the child's ear?

Huang Hui's hope ignited. She cried with joy and didn't dare to touch her son. She kept asking, "Master, Master, is my son okay? Did this thing kill him?"

"Don't touch him, get a handkerchief or clean tissue." Lu Cijiu said.

Someone in the crowd quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it over with both hands. Lu Cijiu didn't take it. "Please spread it out on the ground." The man did as he was told and watched the master place the needle on the paper.

"There's another side."

Lu Cijiu tilted the child's head to the other side. This time, the crowd was no longer noisy and was very quiet. Some people were recording with their mobile phones, and some were lighting. Naturally, they could clearly see the blood-colored runes on the child and how the master burned it with candlelight.

In fact, it is not a burning sensation at all. It does not hurt from a distance, but a slight burning sensation.

Everyone saw something behind the child's ear. The master pinched it with both hands and slowly pulled the needle out.

This time everyone watched carefully, and saw with their own eyes that there was really a needle behind the child's ear. It couldn't be a scam. They didn't know what to say and looked at each other in shock. Could it be that there really was a change of wisdom?

Two needles are placed on the paper.

Lu Cijiu chanted in his mouth: "Lingbao Tianzun, the ceremonial guards are numerous, the child's intelligence is complete, and he is immune to all disturbances." He gently tapped the child's Baihui acupoint.

Everyone saw the child lying on the ground with a dull look in his eyes, blinking as if he had just woken up from a daze, and shouting, "Mom?"

"Mom is here, Guangzong, Guangzong, look at mom, do you still recognize mom?" Huang Hui was so anxious that she spoke incoherently.

Guangzong looked puzzled and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are we on the road? Mom, don't cry, I'm fine."

When everyone looked, they saw that the son, who was originally a fool, was now speaking clearly. There was no trace of his stupidity just now.

"You kid, why did you run to the garden that night?" Huang Hui asked gritting her teeth as she remembered it.

Guangzong's eyes were confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, I can't remember."

Huang Hui looked at the master. Lu Cijiu said, "He just woke up. Wait a little longer. Don't rub the talismans on both sides. You can do it after noon. Hold the two needles and wait until the child remembers to call the police."

Everyone: ??? Should we call the police?

Not even a liar.

Could he really be a master?

Huang Hui was so grateful that she insisted on giving money and even kowtow, but was stopped by Lu Cijiu. Taking advantage of the crowd, she and Gong Xichao took the cubs and left.

Little did they know that this video had gone viral on WeChat Moments.

Not long after Lu Cijiu left, the police arrived. Huang Hui grabbed her son, held up a needle, and said she was going to sue Zhou Jianmin...

"Is Jiujiu helping someone? Jiujiu is so awesome." Tail looked at Lu Cijiu in admiration.

Dalong said proudly, "Of course Jiujiu is the best. I want to be as good as Jiujiu in the future."

"Wow, Dalong, you are awesome." The positive energy cheered for Wang Wei.

Dudu and the kitten nodded their heads seriously.

Lu Cijiu felt like he was two meters tall at that moment! Touching the four cubs' heads, his fingers no longer hurt. It was getting late because of this delay. They were carrying a lot of bags, and the children were sleepy, so he said, "Let's take a taxi back."

When they reached the crossroads, all the cubs except Dalong were asleep. Lu Cijiu held Dudu in one hand and the other two in the other hand, looked at Gong Xichao, and said pitifully, "Brother Gong——"

"Hmph, humans." Gong Xichao finished his usual disdain, paused, and walked up with one hand in each, walking steadily. Lu Cijiu followed behind with a chuckle. When he entered the house, he heard Gong Xichao say, "Can a human woman be as strong as me?"

"???" Why would he suddenly compare himself to a girl? Lu Cijiu was confused, but no matter what, he was right to praise Diao Zong, so he quickly said, "Of course that's impossible. Brother Gong is still the best."

How could an ordinary girl dare to compete with Mr. Diao in strength?

Gong Xichao looked back at the human with a studying look, and finally confirmed that the human was telling the truth, and then he gave up.

Humans already like him, so how could they like the girl who gave them candles?

Don’t even think about it!

The pedestrian commercial street is bustling at night. Many people watched and filmed the incident tonight, which went viral on WeChat Moments. Some people even posted it online. New media marketing accounts got wind of it, and within a few hours, many articles and reports appeared online.

#I saw a scene from a TV series today#

#Young scammers actually did this to a seven-year-old boy in broad daylight#

#Acupuncture behind the ear? A story from a Chinese studio come true? #

#A rich man trades his life for the life of a poor man's son? #

No matter how shocking the title is, it will attract attention. It touches the line between HS and class confrontation. Combined with the video, it has become very popular in just one night and has already climbed to the top of the hot searches on Weibo.

The locals who were watching at the time sighed. They didn't know the master's name, and he left so quickly without asking for any money, so he didn't look like a scammer. They didn't know where he was staying, and if anything happened in the future, he would also like to pay his respects.

As the popularity grew, some netizens started to expose the issue.

I followed the clues and found Lu Ci’s old Weibo. When I saw the introduction, I was surprised by the question mark question mark???

[You're still saying you're not a liar. Are you crazy about fame? You designed a video like this and insulted my intelligence. I don't believe it today. I'll just follow and repost your talisman and hope you win so I can slap you in the face.]

There are many opinions on this, some are curious and want to watch the fun, while others have doubts.

So that morning, Lu Cijiu woke up and found that he had gained 20,000 followers on Weibo.

???

what happened?
