Unconsciously, the yellow-robed monk was sweating profusely.

However, he did not dare to blame Fan Tianshi in his heart. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince asked, so even Fan Tianshi would not be able to answer it, right?

I won't refuse to answer for my own sake.

Fan Tianshi could point it out in a subtle way without directly breaking it, which was already taking care of himself.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Master Fan!

I thought that my acting skills had become so perfect that even the details of the branches, leaves and flowers had become the same as the real ones. It would be difficult even for gods to tell the real from the fake. The combination of illusion and summoning skills was also clever enough, but if I tease the little boy from the north...

The local people and dignitaries were fine, but in front of Master Fan Tianshi, they were not enough.

Not that I blame myself——

When he stood up, he had not seen Fan Tianshi yet. Before he came here today, he had asked the people in Juxian Mansion, and they all said that Fan Tianshi would not come to join in the fun.

"Master Fan Tianzhi is indeed very discerning. This poor monk is just a master of his own craft." The monk simply stood up and said, and saluted the prince, "It's enough if I can please the prince."

The prince didn't care about him and turned around with a smile:

"This master's magic is profound and wonderful. It has opened my eyes. I will reward you with fifty taels of silver and a piece of fine cloth."

An official next to him immediately nodded in agreement.

Only then did Lin Jue realize what Luo Gong said——

In this Juxian Mansion, no one who has the ability can live on the two taels of silver as a gift, and here, it is very easy to get money.

This is fifty taels in one go. How many monsters from the common people must be eaten to be worth this reward?

I just don’t know what this silver tastes like.

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Master Fan Tian." The yellow-robed monk breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again.

"It's all obtained by the master's skills. The next time foreigners come to visit, I would like to invite the master to perform this wonderful technique. How about it?"

"What I wish for."

The yellow-robed monk agreed and clasped his hands to Fan Tianshi: "Master Fan is indeed very capable. I admire you, this poor monk."

"How can a poor Taoist have any skills? If he is not talented enough, it is just a matter of chance for fellow Taoist Lin next to him! But today, I just happened to remember that this is a wintersweet." Fan Tianshi smiled and said truthfully, "That's right.

This master's skill is so extraordinary that even if a god comes, he will be ashamed of himself."

How could the world believe what he said?

I just feel that Fan Tianshi is being humble and looking up to others.

Even the yellow-robed monk was grateful.

However, everyone took another look at Lin Jue because of this.

Only Fan Tianshi himself knows that this is the truth.

He was sweating just now.

Fortunately, when I came here in the twelfth lunar month last year, the wintersweet trees in the courtyard happened to be in bloom, and I remembered them all. Otherwise, who would know if these bare trees were wintersweet trees, plum trees, or peaches, plums, apricots, and pears?

"Master Fan Tian..."

The prince called him there again and invited him to accompany him.

After hearing this, Fan Tianshi glanced at Lin Jue with his peripheral vision. Seeing that Lin Jue looked calm and did not look at the prince, he immediately smiled and bowed politely:

"There are too many people in His Highness's honor guard. I really can't stay here any longer, let alone accompanying this fellow Taoist beside me, so I won't go with His Highness. We will just follow His Highness."

"Oh, I will follow the Heavenly Master."

The prince had no choice but to walk forward again.

Fan Tianshi and Lin Jue were following from a distance. Luo Monk was standing aside wearing a bamboo hat and holding a knife, playing the role of a protector, but in fact he was also looking around to watch the excitement.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you think this person can be considered a strange person?" Fan Tianshi asked Lin Jue calmly.

"This man is very skilled in the art of illusion and summoning. Naturally, he is a strange person. It is extremely rare to be able to combine the two methods." Lin Jue accepted that he accompanied him and explained, so he answered truthfully. However, when he said this, he said

Frowning, "It's just..."

Fan Tianshi listened and had only two thoughts in his mind -

First of all, he sighed, the man next to him is indeed a true heavenly master, he can see through the authenticity of spells at a glance, and he can really see it, and he can also see the root cause, unlike relying on other methods.

Then he secretly wrote down the two words "illusion play" and "the art of summoning", thinking that if he met the yellow-robed monk again, or if he came to thank him, he would use these words to deal with him.

.

But when he heard Lin Jue's words "just", he felt anxious again and couldn't help but ask:

"Just what?"

Lin Jue frowned, unable to speak for a moment.

It was passed down from Fuqiu Temple and from the ancestor of Banshan. The opera is also one of the "Seven Arts of Fuqiu" that the ancestor of Banshan got from the immortal. It has been passed down to this day without interruption.

In his opinion, theater is theater.

No need to pretend to be another magic spell.

Every magic spell in the world has its own wonders. A good spell does not necessarily have to be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons or shake the heavens and earth.

The difficulty of practicing opera is not lower than that of other spells. Even most operas are more difficult to practice than other spells, and it is not easy to use them well. This yellow-robed monk has learned opera very well.

, in Lin Jue's opinion, he is also an extraordinary stranger. But the mistake he made today was that he was clearly performing a drama, but he said it was a "more profound" Buddhist teaching.

Maybe they want to scam more money.

Maybe it’s because I despise drama in my heart.

If it's the former, it's a matter of his mind. If it's the latter, it's actually unnecessary.

My seventh senior brother is also good at drama.

But the Seventh Senior Brother didn't think so. On the contrary, he liked it very much and lived a very free and easy life because of it.

How can you gain respect from others if you despise yourself?

This yellow-robed monk was probably from a strange family background. He accidentally acquired this magic, but he did not receive the true transmission of Taoism.

Lin Jue thought for a while, but didn't elaborate. He just shook his head and said: "Why don't you just say openly that what you are performing is a drama? Maybe the gods will be impressed when they come in person."

When Fan Tianshi heard this, he was immediately startled.

His eyes widened and his steps were confused for a moment.

Then there was a wry smile in my heart:

As expected, I am still a false heavenly master...

I would never be able to say words like these.

I'm afraid ordinary people would think it was ordinary if they heard it. But if the yellow-robed monk heard it, I don't know if it would stir up ripples in his heart. Anyway, I thought it was exquisite, so I secretly memorized it.

Go forward.

Most people respect Fan Tianshi very much.

There are people who can command insects by chanting a spell. One moment, they can line up in a row, the next moment, they can make them form a military formation. They can also command frogs to dive into the water one by one. I don’t know if it is of any use. Anyway, everyone is very curious about it.

If the prince enjoys seeing it, he will also be rewarded.

Someone performed the green clam method.

He threw a bunch of copper coins into the well, and after chanting a mantra, the coins jumped out of the well in a row and fell into his plate.

His Royal Highness the Prince is also rewarded.

Someone could fill an empty cup with wine and offer it to the prince. The prince was so excited that he raised the cup and drank it, regardless of safety. Just after he finished drinking, he looked down and saw that the cup was full again.

The prince drank three cups in a row, praised the wine with a smile, and then gave the wine to other strangers around him to drink together.

Luo Gong once said that he was a loser.

Lin Jue knew that people have thousands of faces, and he also knew that which side a person showed was also related to when and where he was, and who he was facing. Anyway, the prince here today faced many strange people and strangers in the Immortal Mansion.

A cheerful, generous and charming image.

As he walked, Lin Jue heard someone whispering:

"Is that person the legendary Master Fan Tian?"

"Exactly."

"What exactly is Fan Tianshi's ability? Why don't you show it to us? It can also open our eyes."

"You are so courageous! Who is Fan Tianshi? Can he be the same as us? His Highness the Crown Prince cannot let him perform spells casually! What's more, what Fan Tianshi knows is not just these small magic skills. What he knows is the ability to invite divine soldiers.

Can you demonstrate the great magic that can slay great demons or even demon kings to others casually?"

"really?"

Although the two discussed in a low voice, Lin Jue heard them.

Maybe they felt that there was chaos around them, and they didn't say anything bad about Fan Tianshi, so they just discussed it.

"I am afraid only God knows how powerful Fan Tianshi is now. I only know that more than 20 years ago, Fan Tianshi was still very young. He was drinking with people in a restaurant when he suddenly said that there was an earthquake in the south and that the earthquake caused wildfires.

, then took another sip of water and spit it out..."

"Then what?"

"At that time, there were many people in the restaurant who didn't know Fan Tianshi's skills, and they might have thought that Fan Tianshi was drunk and crazy. Not long after, news of an earthquake thousands of miles away in the south came. The earthquake really triggered a mountain fire, but the mountain fire had just time to burn dozens of people.

The mountain was extinguished by a heavy rain. At that time, people knew that Fan Tianshi had the ability to reach the sky."

"hiss……"

Lin Jue heard them talking and wanted to hear more, so he couldn't help but slow down.

Fan Tianshi followed him slowly and heard it.

Lin Jue turned his head and glanced at Fan Tianshi.

But I saw the middle-aged Taoist's expression was startled, and a complex emotion flashed across his face in an instant. It was not modesty, not the calmness of the past, and not even proud, but a touch of nostalgia and emotion.

Lin Jue thought about it for a moment and knew——

This may be the beginning of "Fan Tianshi".

If this is the case, it should feel as if it was yesterday, and it should be a feeling of fate and chance.

The voice from behind came again:

"Then the one next to him is..."

"Didn't you hear about it just now? This person is also new to Juxian Mansion and now lives in the same courtyard as Fan Tianshi."

"A newcomer to Juxian Mansion? What skills does he have? Why can we, who are new to Juxian Mansion, only live in a small room in this official mansion, which is similar to the living room of a Taoist temple, but he can live in the courtyard outside?

, and also live in the same courtyard as Fan Tianshi."

"I don't know..."

Suddenly another voice came from the side:

"It is said that this is the immortal master who got rid of the Dragon King by the Weishui River half a year ago! Didn't you see a white fox following him?"

"Huh?"

"this……"

There were people around who were surprised and some looked strange.

The reason for the weirdness is quite simple——

Indeed, in the past six months, whether inside or outside Juxian Mansion, I have encountered many people claiming that the killing of the Dragon King by the Weishui River was related to them.

There were even people present who had preached this.

Immediately there was silence.

Some people don't believe it.

"Didn't I say that the two gods were a man and a woman, and they brought a white fox with them? Why is there only one left?"

"Yes! Isn't it said that he is a god from heaven? Why did he not return to heaven, but came to Juxian Mansion instead? And he has not been here for a long time. It has been half a year before he appeared?"

"That white fox looks really unusual."

"It's not a lie again, is it?"

"It must be true that Master Fan Tianshi is with you, right?"

"In my opinion, those people in the government just pretended to be too different and too timid. If they also bought a white fox on the street, maybe those in charge of the Ministry of Rites would believe the order..."

Just as the man finished speaking, he saw the white fox following the two Taoists in front suddenly turned its head and stared at him.

The fox's eyes are clear and his expression is serious. For some reason, he looks a bit like a human.

And it clearly heard itself saying it!

"this……"

The man didn't dare to speak out for a while.

On the contrary, the people around me answered with a smile:

"It's not easy to find a white fox, let alone one that looks a bit weird. Even if you find it, it will cost you a lot of money to buy it... Why don't we try this man? Ask him to show his spell. If he can reveal it,

Maybe we can also be taken seriously

, living in the big courtyard, and living with Fan Tianshi. If he is really that god, he won't blame us. It can also open his eyes to His Highness. Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince also wants to know who this Taoist is and what he has.

What’s the skill?”

I didn't hear any reply after I finished speaking.

"What's wrong?"

Two young men, one stared straight ahead without speaking, while the other followed his gaze curiously.

I saw that the fox in front really seemed to know that they were talking about him. He had turned his head to look at them, turned to stare at them, stretched his neck and raised his head with a serious expression.

"..."

The two looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

But soon, the fox turned around and followed the Taoist again.

"call……"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But just after taking two steps, I glanced around and suddenly saw that among the crowd in front of me, there were only Fan Tianshi, the Taoist, and the Taoist protector, but the white fox beside them disappeared.

Then his eyes turned——

They saw a white fox about the same size as a cat standing on the rockery next to them, very close to the two of them, and they were immediately startled.

Before they had time to shout or dodge, they saw the fox open its mouth and spit out a small cloud of yellow smoke, heading straight towards their door.

"Ahem..."

The two of them immediately choked and coughed.
Chapter completed!
