Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 619
A trick is a trick because a trick is fake.

Fake things, no matter how real they are, are still fake.

It's not that most people don't know this, but their greed blinds their reason, so they ignore the truth of the matter and believe everything they see and hear.Even though deep down I know it's a lie,

Shen Xiansuo's tricks are indeed good.

Because this is no longer an ordinary trick, but contains the tricks of Taoism.

Therefore, in order to perform such tricks, one must have some cultivation skills. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that such tricks will not be widely spread.

The common people who watched the excitement before saw the elixir falling from the sky. Whether it was ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all bent down on the ground one by one, bumping into me, I bumping into you, frantically looking for the fallen elixir.

It's strange to say that the elixir that fell from the sky is obviously densely packed, but when it falls to the ground to look for it, there are very few.

Some people found it, and they were very happy, but more people didn't find it, and they were sweating profusely.

"The trick that this old man really wants to perform is probably not the fairy rope, but to tease everyone, and the most ingenious thing is that he didn't encourage any of the people to pick up the elixir, but those people were lured by greed, and they were willing to lie on the ground Picking up pills." Li Xiuyuan looked at all this
in the eyes.

Looking around, he was the only one who was indifferent when the elixir landed.

A few subordinates around him were also very excited, but he pointed it out.

"Eldest young master, this elixir is not necessarily fake, I'd better pick up a few and bring them back, if it is real, wouldn't it be a missed fairy fate?"

The head of the bodyguard next to him was still very excited. Seeing how crazy the other people were, even with Li Xiuyuan's suggestion, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "A fake is a fake, no matter how tempted you are, it will not become true. If you are tempted, go pick it up. If you really picked up the elixir, you don't need to give it to me. Keep it for yourself." , let’s see if you will become light and healthy after eating it, and become immortals?”

"This, this." The two escorts looked hesitant, they wanted to pick it up, but they didn't want to disobey the young master's wishes.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, I had to give up.

Because the elixir that fell from the sky seems to have been picked up, it is too late even if you want to do it now.

But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan was staring at the old man who played tricks.

But he saw that the old man had already packed his things at some point, carrying two big suitcases slowly through the crowd, preparing to leave, with a smile on his face, as if he was proud of himself for playing tricks on everyone.

But now everyone was busy picking up the elixir, and they didn't even notice that the old man who played tricks left.

Perhaps the old man had already disappeared without a trace after they finished picking up the elixir.

"Follow me." Li Xiuyuan called out, and strode through the crowd to catch up.

The old man carrying the burden hummed a ditty as he walked. He didn't take the avenues with many people, but chose small paths with few people. It is impossible to keep up with this old man.

But Li Xiuyuan was a little curious about this old man.

"This is not an ordinary person who plays tricks. His steps and direction are in line with Taoist spells. It seems random. In fact, dozens of people may not be able to follow him."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, stopped and said: "You wait for me here for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

"Yes, my master." Wu Xiangweng answered in a low voice.

With one step, Li Xiuyuan cast the magic that shrinks the ground to an inch. Coupled with the wall penetration technique, he came to an alley in a few steps.

The old man who played tricks just walked into this alley when he saw Li Xiuyuan walking towards him, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and his short body trembled slightly.

"My father-in-law performed a good trick. If I'm not mistaken, the Immortal Suo just now is both a trick and a spell. It should be a combination of blindness and cloud pulling, but it has been simplified a lot. It can be performed without any skills. Ordinary people can learn it after more than ten years of practice.

I'm a little surprised, why did my father-in-law leave in such a hurry before he performed the spell and asked others for rewards? "

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile; "I watched the old man's tricks and thought they were wonderful, so I have to give the reward."

After speaking, he took out a silver coin and threw it at the old man.

The old man stretched out his hand to pick it up, and he said with a smile: "This young master is indeed an extraordinary person who can see through my tricks, but what this old man is performing is not a trick, but just donating pills in the name of tricks to cure diseases and save people. It's not about rewarding money, what we want is the merits of helping the world and saving the people.

Well, the young master doesn't need the old man's pills, so the old man accepted the money without hesitation. "

"Oh, the old man is actually a practitioner? What he seeks are merits and blessings? In this way, the elixir is not useless?" Li Xiuyuan said with a bit of a strange look.

The old man smiled and said: "Of course, the old man's pills are actually refined from various mountain herbs. , and the pills sent are all poor people, if you don't believe me, you can
Go back and see if those wealthy people can pick up a pill. "

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but praise when he heard the words: "The old man has a kind heart. For the rich and the rich, ordinary injuries can be cured by a doctor once, but for the poor people, it is no less than a catastrophe. With this method, Meidanwan can save a family at a critical moment.

Poor people, this is a matter of immeasurable merit, I admire, admire. "

Hearing what the old man said, he couldn't help being a little awed.

What is a man of virtue, this is a man of virtue.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's just for the sake of cultivation, and there is also selfishness." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, with a humble and polite look.

"If this son has nothing else to do, I will leave first. I have already given away the medicine in the capital. Now I am going back to the mountains to collect medicine and refine it. After the preparations are complete, I will continue to donate. Pills, cure diseases and save lives."

After speaking, he continued to carry the burden and prepared to turn around and leave.

Li Xiuyuan took a deep look at him at this moment, and said slowly: "Why do old friends rush to leave so soon after meeting each other, He Shou Wu Jing?"

"Fuck you Li Xiuyuan, you can still recognize me after I've become like this?"

"Whoa~!"

The old man who just picked up the burden immediately threw the burden on the ground without saying a word, then sank into the ground with a whoosh, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

"You're really young, and I got out of it once I cheated."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile, and stepped forward to catch up.

He wasn't sure that this old man was the Polygonum multiflorum essence he had met in Wangchuan Mountain, but he felt that he looked somewhat similar. Although his appearance had completely changed, and his clothing and temperament had also changed completely, his figure had never changed.

And most importantly, he smelled a familiar smell from the elixir that fell before.

He Shouwu Jing's heart was pounding at the moment, he thought that Li Xiuyuan was very busy staying in the south to rule the ghosts and gods in all directions, and he would not meet him again when he went to the north to practice, but he didn't know that he bumped into this place within a few days after he came to the capital to apply medicine evil star,

"Damn, how did this guy recognize me? My appearance is completely different from before. In order to cover up my aura, I even became a doctor who walked in the world for a few years in order to completely deceive me with the mortal aura. The smell of Polygonum multiflorum on my body, with my current transformation ability unless it is
Bodhisattvas can only be identified clearly when they descend to the mortal world. How could Li Xiuyuan see through it? "

In an abandoned house in the capital city, an old man's head protruded from the mud. He looked around and saw no one before he came out in peace.

"No, I have to leave the capital immediately. I still owe him a karma. If he catches me and chops it into two pieces, my hope of becoming a fairy in this life will be gone. To pay back the karma, at least I have to wait." Let’s talk about it after becoming a fairy.”

Polygonum multiflorum was in shock, he didn't even want two suitcases of luggage, and was going to leave here secretly.

However, when he walked a few steps, his hairs suddenly stood on end, and he froze in place. His eyes were wide open, and he pointed tremblingly at the cracked courtyard wall.

"Your spells are really powerful. You escaped from the south of the city to the north of the city in one breath, and the imperial city is beyond. If it weren't for the imperial city, you probably would have escaped from the capital in one breath. You are truly worthy of becoming an immortal. Spirit, once a spirit like you attains enlightenment and becomes an immortal, its abilities are far better than

An ordinary fairy. "

"That's right, God is fair. Man is the head of all spirits. He is born with a human body. Compared with spirits and monsters, he has saved at least 500 years of Taoism in cultivating immortality. However, being a grass and tree spirit requires enlightenment and experience. Three calamities of heaven, earth and man, 500 years to cultivate a human form, and then become a fairy, but the more experience,
The ability will become stronger. "

Li Xiuyuan walked over from the cracked courtyard wall, he clapped his hands and smiled.

After he walked into the courtyard, the cracked courtyard wall behind him quickly closed again.

"Wall piercing? When did you know how to spell?" Polygonum multiflorum almost jumped up in fright.

The sage knows magic, which is no less than the tiger growing its wings and the dragon rushing into the sea.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not the technique of piercing walls, it's the technique of opening mountains. Not to mention a wall in front of me, even a mountain will split to make way for me. I haven't seen me for more than two years. It shouldn't be surprising to learn the magic spell."

"Although your appearance has changed, my appearance has not changed. You may not have found me and recognized me when I was watching you perform Shenxian Suo before, but you should have recognized me before. Could it be that old acquaintances reunited? Shouldn't we get together?"

He Shou Wu Jing said: "Ghosts want to get together with you, you evil star, I don't want to meet you again in my life, if it wasn't for the ghosts and gods under your command in the south, I was afraid of being discovered by you, otherwise how could I run to the north?" Come on, hurry up and pretend I don't know you."

He has not forgotten the fear of being pressed on the cutting board by Li Xiuyuan two years ago, thinking about which piece to chop.

"Oh, it's rare for old acquaintances to meet each other. Don't be so indifferent. The friendship between us can't be cleared up in a few words. You left in a hurry that day, and I haven't thanked my father for your life-saving grace. And the fairy grass you left behind has also helped me many times, so we can meet today, I should

It's time to treat you to a banquet. "Li Xiuyuan said.

"What are you treating me to? Do you want to have a Polygonum multiflorum banquet again? You must want to catch me back to make soup and slice it." Polygonum multiflorum essence said with a look of horror.

Li Xiuyuan gave up again and again: "Quit, quit, I haven't drank chicken soup for a long time, and I seldom even eat or drink ordinary wine and meat. Now I'm a vegetarian."

The Polygonum multiflorum essence ran away in fright: "You don't want to lie to me, I'm a vegetarian."

Before Li Xiuyuan could speak, the Polygonum multiflorum essence disappeared in place again.

Another escape technique.

"It seems that what happened last time can't be explained clearly in a few words." Li Xiuyuan touched his chin, and saw that Polygonum multiflorum was scared away, so he stopped chasing him, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding.

He caught up with him just to say hello and express his gratitude to him.

Because the root hairs left by Polygonum multiflorum essence did save myself and the people around me many times.
