Thinking of this, he hurriedly speeded up and ran to the goddess's house.

You can see many villagers along the way, carrying bowls and walking towards the north.

"It's lively today."

"Isn't it, Grandma Yang's fighting method? How strange that I have lived so long and still don't know what a fighting method is."

"Didn't the lazy man say that he should offer incense to pray to God?"

"I know how to burn incense. Just light incense. Well, it can really bring the gods down."

"Well, who knows, we can't see it either."

"If you can't see it, just watch the fun. Let's go, let's go. It's about to start."

Zhang Guo heard everything. When he ran to the goddess's house, he found that the door was closed. Needless to say, Grandma Yang had already gone to Beidi first.

He quickly turned around and ran north.

Soon, before he arrived in Beidi, he saw many villagers gathered around to watch the fun. It seemed that they were all looking forward to today's fight.

Zhang Guoquan ran a few steps quickly and squeezed in beside the crowd. When everyone saw that it was Zhang Guoquan, they all made room for him.

When he came to the front, he saw the scene that had been prepared for some time. Not to mention, the whole scene looked quite similar.

There is almost a square empty space, which should be someone's threshing field in the North. There is no need to thresh wheat this year, so I just toss it around.

In the middle of the open space, there is a high table with a Buddha statue on it, draped with a red cloth. In front of it is a small incense burner with a handful of incense inserted and burning.

The whole threshing floor smelled like burning incense, and a low table was placed on both sides of the high table, about two or three meters apart.

The low table is covered with a red cloth, and on the red cloth is a household white porcelain bowl filled with wheat grains.

These are not strange, they are all normally arranged scenes. What is strange is that there is a bamboo cage placed in front of the high table. It is woven so finely that it is difficult to see what is inside.

Zhang Guoquan looked carefully for a while. There was no movement in the cage. It was an empty cage.

There really was a cage, but there was an extra cage for no reason. It was exactly what he thought when he came here. I'm afraid it was really to let Huang Pizi and the big snake fight each other.

"Master Bai is here." Xiao Chen from the mine shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone is welcome."

There was no applause, not a single applause. Xiao Chen did not feel embarrassed and just led the workers to applaud.

When Master Bai came forward, he stood in front of a low table on the right.

Only then did Zhang Guoquan see clearly what the master specially invited by Wei Guangming looked like. He was neither tall nor thin. The most conspicuous thing was his white beard, which he stroked twice from time to time.

This old man has a red face, which is different from the dark faces of the old men in the village. Other than that, there is nothing special about him. I really don’t see how he became a master.

He also looked specifically at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's body was completely empty. There was no place for a big snake. No big snake?

Did he not catch it? Or was he wrong?

"Grandma Yang is here, everyone applauds."

Unlike Master Bai's situation just now, the villagers finally burst into thunderous applause.

The goddess was wearing the same patched clothes as before. The only difference was that the clothes she wore were tighter and bulging.

But it couldn't stop him from being as thin as a pancake. In comparison, the master was very well-dressed, clean and decent.

He is also a fortune teller. How come this master is so well-dressed? Although he is also very tightly dressed and wearing loose clothes, he looks quite like a fairy.

The goddess often tells people's fortunes. When families from ten miles and eight villages have troubles, they come to her to see why they are so poor and have to wear patched clothes all year round.

And the strange thing is that the goddess didn't bring a yellow leather bag. It seems that he really thought wrong, but what is the use of the empty cage? He can't figure it out.

Zhang Guoquan saw the goddess approaching and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Grandma Yang, that yellow-skinned one last night..."

The goddess stretched out her hand to stop him: "I know."

"No, Grandma Yang..." Zhang Guoquan looked at the empty cage, still feeling uneasy.

"It's okay, trust me, it'll be fine." The goddess said calmly, so Zhang Guoquan had no choice but to shut up.

When the goddess stood in front of the low table on the left, Xiao Chen stared there suspiciously.

The goddess seemed to notice Xiao Chen's gaze, she raised her head and looked towards him.

This time, Xiao Chen was startled, and his chest heaved violently.

In the early morning, there were even beads of sweat on his forehead. It wasn't until Wei Guangming arrived that Xiao Chen quickly wiped his forehead.

He walked up to Wei Guangming in a few steps and said in a low voice: "Mine Manager Wei, look at that goddess, why does it look like you've seen her before somewhere?"

Wei Guangming was followed by Wei Dahai. His younger brother didn't react much. Only when Wei Guangming looked at the goddess, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

It was very familiar. He asked Xiao Chen: "Why do you think it looks the same as the Wong Tai Sin he saw that night?"

When mine director Wei said this, Xiao Chen immediately remembered the night when he peed his crotch: "It does look like it, but it was too dark that night, and the figure looks similar. Where is Old Sun? Let me take a look."

Wei Guangming ignored him, and Xiao Chen suddenly patted his head. Old Sun had already left, and when he left, he kept saying that it was too evil here.

"Mine Manager Wei, what should we do now?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Ignore it for now, let's wait until the master fights. Hmph, the country goddess who pretends to be a magician is no match for Master Bai. Let her be discredited today. Let Master Bai start now."

Xiao Chen responded, walked up to Master Bai and muttered a few words. With Master Bai's nod, Xiao Chen shouted at the onlookers: "The battle officially... begins."

The villagers who came, including the mine workers, fell silent for a moment as Xiao Chen finished speaking. They watched and waited quietly.

They saw Xiao Chen holding a handful of incense and standing in front of the Buddha statue on the high table, facing the public.

First, Master Bai stepped forward and walked in front of Xiao Chen. As if on purpose, his whole body blocked his sight so that the onlookers could not see what he was doing. When Master Bai turned around again, he already had a stick in his hand. fragrant.

At the goddess's signal, the lazy man suddenly walked out of the crowd and walked up to Xiao Chen. He wanted to reach out for the incense, but did not go for it directly. His outstretched hand was hesitant about which one to take.

Xiao Chen said: "Just smoke any one. It's all the same. It's fair. As for which one burns faster, it depends on which one is more powerful."

The lazy man just smiled and didn't care about Xiao Chen. He casually pulled out one stick. When he walked to the goddess, he took out another stick from his sleeve at super speed and replaced the original one.

In autumn, lazy people put on long sleeves early. The weather is not too cold yet, and the cold spots in the morning and night can be tolerated, so not many people wear long sleeves.

It is not strange for a lazy man to wear long sleeves. Only Zhang Guoquan discovered the strange thing. When everyone was attracted by the scene of Master Bai holding incense and inserting it into the bowl, because Master Bai made exaggerated movements, with his hands raised to the sky and open, He pretended to pray.

Only Zhang Guoquan had been paying attention to the goddess's every move. The goddess stood there quietly. When he saw the lazy man walking up to the goddess, he quickly replaced the incense he had just smoked.

Zhang Guoquan felt strange when he saw it. When the lazy man handed the incense to the goddess, the lazy man plunged into the crowd again.

Zhang Guoquan squeezed over, grabbed the lazy man's arm, and asked in a low voice: "What were you doing just now?"

"What? You didn't do anything."

"Didn't do it? I saw it just now."

"You, you saw it wrong." The lazy man removed his hand.

Although this lazy guy is usually a talker, he would like to tell the whole village about anything he encounters. But if it comes to a critical moment, he will be very strict with his mouth. For example, he was caught and beaten by Wei Dahai last time and asked to confess.

When anyone instructs him, they all act like that and don't say a word.

Sometimes Zhang Guoquan thinks about what kind of person he is? If he says he has no backbone, he will say it even if you don't let him. When he has backbone, even if you pry his mouth, he will never let out a word.

If you don't want to say it, don't say it. He is working for Grandma Yang, and he cannot expose his shortcomings in public. If you read below, you may know the answer.

Looking at Master Bai again, he reached out to the goddess in a gesture of invitation. The goddess walked to the low table and put the incense into a bowl filled with wheat.

Master Bai nodded, his squinted eyes suddenly became sharp, then he put his hand into his pocket, took out a palm-sized piece of yellow paper, folded it in half, and quickly stroked it with his fingers.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't see Master Bai lighting the yellow paper with a match. With just a quick stroke, the yellow paper actually started to burn out of thin air.

This strange sight made the villagers open their mouths, thinking that today is really the day. The master is worthy of being a master, and he really has some real skills.
