"Brother, isn't it burning?"

"No, no..."

"We feel guilty even if our parents are burning a few hairs."

"I didn't care."

"Just stand farther, hehehe, let me take another breath."

The old man smiled, as if he was extremely satisfied with everyone's surprise reaction. He walked back to the brazier and lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"hiss……"

Immediately, the fire stormed into his mouth and nose.

Lin Jue's eyes were dazed in front of him, as if he saw these flames reaching his mouth, and naturally turned into a ray of air or mist emitting fire. After entering his mouth and nose, he could still see the luster through his flesh.

But this trance was only a moment.

After a moment, everything was as usual.

Lin Jue couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyes. He looked at him again, but he saw nothing, only a proud old man who was spitting out his fire.

I couldn't help but feel confused and dull.

Not long after, the two sides stalemate and agreed to start a game, and drew a line in the middle of the venue. The money on one side belongs to the old man and the original trickster. Both sides use their own skills. Whoever the onlookers liked would throw the money aside, so as to determine the outcome.

The trick guy plays fishing skills.

The old man cut his hands down to present to the audience and took them back.

The trickster performs a silk-breaking show.

The old man borrowed books and silk cloth from everyone, threw them all into a brazier, burned them to ashes, and after a moment, they took them out intact from other places.

Very exciting for a while.

Some people like pureness, and the old man obviously performs better, so they throw money and other things to the old man; some people think that middle-aged tricksters are the reason, and he speaks very well, and they have a good impression of him at the beginning. Now, seeing that he is bullied and wronged, they can't help but feel sympathy for him, so they throw more money and belong to the middle-aged tricksters.

Some people also sting to watch the fun and lose both sides of the fun, but they are stingy with money and not giving them any money.

But Lin Jue gradually realized something was wrong-

Originally, when these tricksters were playing tricks, the people behind were beaten gongs, drums, cymbals, but the two sides were obviously against each other. Why were those people also beat gongs and drums when the old man performed to create the atmosphere?

Is it so a gentleman in the dispute between the two sides?

This continued until half an afternoon. The people were so tired that they started to return home one after another. Only these people said that they would give up today and close the stall here.

The old man smiled, as if he was competing for victory. He bent down to pick up his money, waved his hand and generously gave the rest of the items to the middle-aged trickster, and then walked away leisurely. The middle-aged trickster thanked him in anger and pretended manner. His face was still not good-looking, but he politely invited the audience away, and agreed on the time and place tomorrow so that everyone could come back when they had time.

Lin Jue couldn't help but feel regretful.

No more spells were seen.

Although the surgery performed by the old man later was magical and was relatively certain that Lin Jue had. It was probably a trick that could belong to the category of magic, but he did not feel that strange.

There is only guess, but the reason cannot be confirmed for the time being.

I don't know if there is any reaction in the ancient books.

It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that he had made an appointment with his cousin to meet on the street behind Luoxian Temple.

That cousin is quite honest and upright, and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He has not been waiting for him for so long. I am afraid that he would not think something happened to him?

"not good!"

Lin Jue hurriedly walked in that direction.

Walk through the streets and alleys.

I tried to stop and remove the basket several times, took out the ancient book from my arms and took a look, and forced myself to hold it back.

Until you reach the designated location.

My cousin is not here.

Lin Jue didn't know where he went, so he didn't dare to look for it at will, so he had to stand here and wait.

Fortunately, not long after, a black boy carrying a big basket came over. From the shaking of the basket, it can be seen that it was empty inside.

Seeing Lin Jue, he hurriedly walked over quickly.

"How long have you been here?"

"I... just arrived."

"Just arrived? Have you gone shopping? Have you watched the trick?" My cousin suddenly widened his eyes.

“Look…”

Facing his clear eyes, Lin Jue felt a little guilty.

"call……"

But my cousin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's great to go shopping. It's great to see it. There are too many people coming to sell mountain bamboo shoots today, many of them are so tall." My cousin gestured with his hand at a height of about the same height as his chest. "Fortunately, I finally went to the gate of nobles in the city as you said last time, and asked. When they saw that the bamboo shoots were good, they bought them all."

"this?"

"I almost made you wait for me for a long time, but fortunately you are smart."

"Um?"

"How did you know I can't sell it?"

"I……"

"I won't say it's all right! Are you eating? What you're still here. After eating, we'll go stroll and go to Luoxian Temple for a while. Just go back in darkness." My cousin took out two tart cakes from his backpack and handed him one first.

"It's better to go back before dark." Lin Jue thought of the ghosts he saw in the bamboo forest in the morning.

"It's too late, I can't run for a while."

"Um……"

Lin Jue had already taken the tart cake and started eating it.

The tart cake is a cooked pancake on the kang. It is a thin piece, both big and small. The old lady makes it as big as a face. The stuffing made of dried plums or dried bamboo shoots is very dry and easy to carry. It is a dry food that local merchants often bring in business.

"Did you buy medicine?"

“Born.”

“How much is it cheaper?”

"According to the calculation, two thousand dollars less than the last time."

"I'll take a look..."

The two of them ate while walking and chatted casually.

But Lin Jue was a little absent-minded.

After eating, I worshipped the Luo Immortal Temple and walked around again. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any extraordinary scene again. Even if I saw a witch and sorcerer on the road, I didn’t show any unique skills in the street. When I saw a disabled Taoist telling fortune under the bridge, I couldn’t afford to pay for fortune telling.

The two of them walked out until the sun sets further west.

When he was about to leave the city, he walked through an alley and looked up inadvertently, but Lin Jue was stunned.

There are those tricksters in the alley ahead.

After a closer look, not only was the group of tricksters who were originally led by middle-aged tricksters, but also the old man, and even a few onlookers who had been cheering for the participants, gathered together and ate dry food.

The old man was still sitting on a wooden box, sitting at the highest point.

It looks like he is the leader.

When he turned his head and saw Lin Jue, he saw Lin Jue looking at him. He was also surprised. He smiled and put down the steamed cake in his hand and said, "Didn't you come to me to compensate for your hair?"

"Of course not."

Lin Jue followed his cousin and approached them.

"Just passing by?"

“Just passing by.”

"Then we have a fate!"

"I'm really destined to do it." Lin Jue nodded, looked at them from side to side again, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you guys together?"

"Hi!"

The old man shook his head helplessly and bowed to the sky with a smile: "It's just a trick to make fun of all the audience, it's insignificant."

"I see……"

"It's insignificant. It's insignificant."

"Know know."

I think some people saw through or had known these routines on the spot, but they were indeed as the old man said, but they were just a trick of playing tricks to make fun of officials and gain money, so there is really no need to expose them.
