Chapter 59, Tasting(1/2)
This old man is even more unreasonable. Versailles has come to me.
While I was cursing, Ye Ruqi came over and bowed immediately when she saw the old man.
"Uncle Hu, you are here!"
The old man just glanced at Ye Ruqi and replied arrogantly.
"It's Xiao Qi. How is your father?"
"My father is very good. Thank you Uncle Hu for thinking about me."
"This is the Lingpo, please call me grandma."
The old man turned to look at me again.
"This child belongs to my friend, Ye Ruqi. You can just call him Xiaoqi."
Yes, the old man even introduced us two, but will Ye Ruqi call me mother-in-law?
I looked at Ye Ruqi, and he was not lucky enough to call me openly.
"Hello, mother-in-law."
"Okay, Xiaoqi, sit down."
Behind the mask, I endured so much pain that I really wanted to find a place with no one to laugh.
At this time, there was no laughter from behind, which was a big surprise.
I turned around in surprise, and saw that the entire venue was now packed with people, probably as many as four to five hundred people.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people and the spirit-inducing circle was so big.
Are people from all over the country coming?
The little Celestial Master sat obediently in the back, looking at me with innocent eyes.
I gave him a hard look!
…
Three people walked up to the main stage.
There are two men and one woman, both wearing yellow tao uniforms. It seems that they must be of high rank in their sect.
One of the people sitting next to me wore a mask like me. What was funny was that he actually chose a pig head and wore a pair of red sneakers.
The man in the middle introduced the three of them respectively.
It turns out that the three of them are the organizers of this Lingbao Conference. The lady is Taoist Priest Yuan Jing, the one sitting in the middle is Master Xuanyang, and the one sitting on the left wearing a mask is Mr. Mugu.
After introducing himself, he welcomed all the guests and gave a brief speech. Finally, Master Xuanyang made the official announcement.
"This Lingbao Tasting Conference will now officially begin."
Then comes the highlight of this morning, Lingbao tasting.
Amidst the sound of ritual music, the three people formally took off the red silk covering the exhibition stand above the main podium.
Suddenly, the golden light was bright and dazzling.
The audience was filled with admiration.
I looked up and saw that the ten spiritual treasures I was tasting were really different.
There are jade Ruyi, peach wood sword, Dharma seal, Sanqing bell, ghost-killing sword, jade token, soul-revitalizing drum, Dharma ruler, Dharma rope, and Qiankun circle.
I secretly recited the identification spell and pinched out a magic formula.
Looked towards the stage again.
The red light and orange light on the stage are shining together, making them dazzling. These magic weapons are really good, they are all of high or even special grade.
At this moment, I inexplicably discovered that among the bright red and orange spiritual treasures, the magic rope, a magic weapon, only had a faint yellow light flashing.
Could it be that the organizers made a mistake?
The magic rope is just a primary magic weapon.
To make sure it was correct, I chanted the mantra again and looked intently.
In addition to the fact that this magic rope is clearly a primary one, there is another magic weapon that is very strange, which is the Qiankun Circle.
It looks like red light on the surface, but if you look closely, after removing the red light on the outside, what is emitting is yellow light inside, and it is just a rudimentary magic weapon.
Why is this?
Could it be that someone had done some trick, and the red light outside was just to deceive others, making them think he was a special spiritual treasure?
Fortunately, I have opened my eyes and have the blessing of identifying spiritual treasures, otherwise I would have been fooled.
The three organizers unveiled the red silk and walked back to sit down.
Xuanyang, the real person in the middle, is also an old man and very fat, which subverted my understanding of Taoist priests.
I don’t know whether it was the influence of movies and TV series or the indoctrination in books since I was a child. I always thought that Taoist priests were all slender, while monks were all fat.
Xuanyang Zhenren is just the opposite. He is a fat old man with a kind-faced look and an amiable look that makes people feel good about him.
He coughed twice and spoke into the microphone.
"Comrades, now is the first item of the Lingbao Conference, Lingbao Tasting. Since it is a tasting, of course there will be authenticity.
According to the rules of previous conferences, I am now playing an interactive game with fellow Taoists. I can unabashedly say that the spiritual treasures displayed on the stage are all genuine.
However, there is a rudimentary magic weapon hidden in it. I would like to invite all my colleagues to come on stage to observe and identify it.
On the table next to it, there is a registration form for authenticating. Those who are interested in participating in authenticating can fill in the form.
At the end, our organizer will award the award to the final winner.”
After listening to it, I was stunned.
One magical weapon is considered primary? Two should be considered primary.
Could it be that the organizers did it on purpose? Or did they not see that the Qiankun Circle had been tampered with?
At this time, colleagues began to come on stage one after another to watch and appreciate, and the charlatan sitting next to me also came on stage.
"Mother-in-law." Ye Ruqi called me.
"Huh? Xiaoqi, do you have something to do with your mother-in-law?"
Ye Ruqi glanced at me.
"Master Hu's skills as a sorcerer are very profound and should not be underestimated. If you have any questions about making magic weapons, you can ask him for advice, and you will definitely benefit a lot."
After saying that, he ignored me and went to the stage by himself.
Angry?
I just want to call you Xiaoqi, right?
Xiaoqi is really stingy.
"Mother-in-law." The voice called me again came from behind, it was the Little Heavenly Master.
I turned around quietly.
"Hey, mother-in-law, why don't you come up to the stage and watch?"
"There are too many people. I'll go back later. Little Heavenly Master, do you have anything going on tonight?"
"It's okay, mother-in-law, please make arrangements."
"Come with me to catch the evil master tonight."
"Catch the evil master?"
"Yes, I suspect that someone is raising a little devil. It may be an evil master. Ye Ruqi and I have been following up for two nights, but they haven't appeared. There is a high possibility that they will appear tonight."
The excitement on the little Heavenly Master's face was clearly visible.
"Okay, I finally have something to do again. Will I make any money?"
Ha...is this because of money?!
"You can go to him for the mission assigned by Yin Chai and Hei Wuchang."
The little Celestial Master's happy expression immediately darkened.
"This Heavenly Master is still young and has not lived enough yet! I dare not."
Seeing his aggrieved look, my heart softened.
"Okay, let's consider the official business and the underworld will pay for it."
"The underworld will pay for it? Let's forget it, I won't want it anymore."
"Hey... I just asked if there was any money to be made, why don't you want it now?"
"Sister, we can't spend the money from the underworld!"
Look...this little head.
To be continued...
