"A small magic spell is nothing compared to this benefactor." The monk saluted everyone, "Thank you all the benefactors for their kindness, and thank you for this benefactor's generosity, so that the young monk can show off his ugly face. The young monk is now in the Tianhai Temple in the city.

If you are interested, you can come to the Buddha and offer a few sticks of incense."

After speaking, he put his hands together and saluted everyone.

I also saluted the middle-aged man who originally performed.

As expected, he didn't take any of the money that fell on the ground. He walked back to his friends with a smile. Then he looked helpless, as if he wanted to accuse his friends, but couldn't.

The middle-aged magician who originally performed here dared to invite this monk to perform, and he was somewhat confident. Seeing that everyone was exclaiming at the monk's magic performance, he was unwilling to admit defeat and asked his disciples to pick up the magic on the ground.

He gave the money back to the monk, saying it was incense money, but the monk refused to take it anyway, so he took it back and said with a smile:

"This great master has great magic skills. He must be an expert. However, there are thousands of kinds of spells in the world. The master knows the spells and the villain can't. If the villain knows it, the master may not be able to do it either."

Then he asked his apprentice to bring him a knife.

A machete with a wide back, a thick blade and a thin blade. The blade was dark and pockmarked, and the blade was so bright that it reflected the light of the fire. It was probably a bit more imposing than the one at the vegetable market.

The onlookers exclaimed when they saw it.

"Come!"

I saw the middle-aged man lying down on the wide bench, revealing his head and neck.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, reflecting the light of the fire.

The apprentice walked over and raised the knife.

The knife was so heavy that it required both hands to lift it, and it took a lot of effort to lift it above the head. When I lifted it, my arms were shaking, and everyone was afraid that they would not be able to hold it steady.

"useless……"

"Ouch……"

Some of the onlookers stopped, some covered their eyes and did not dare to look, and some even screamed in surprise.

"Master..."

"cut!"

"this……"

"Can't understand?"

"good……"

The apprentice also pretended to be unbearable——

Gritting his teeth! He raised the knife and dropped it!

"brush!"

The blade of the knife reflected the light of fire and flashed on the wall.

A round thing fell down and rolled around on the ground several times.

"ah!"

There was even more astonishment among the onlookers.

This shout overshadowed all the excitement tonight, and people from far away could hear it and hurriedly ran towards it.

More and more people are crowding around.

The calico cat also opened its eyes as wide as possible, pressed its two front paws on Song You's arm holding her, stretched its neck and looked forward, as if to see how the head was doing. It twisted its head left and right, a wide range of

The frequency is very small but extremely high. Although he doesn't speak and has no human expression on his face, his curiosity and shock can be seen at a glance.

In the blink of an eye, more and more people gathered.

Originally, Song You and Sanhua Empress were at the outermost edge of the crowd, but now they are at the front. People keep coming from behind, and people keep trying to squeeze forward.

"Don't panic!"

A voice came from the front.

It was actually the middle-aged man's voice.

Many spectators who covered their eyes dared to look after hearing the sound, only to see that the middle-aged man's body had been separated, and some were frightened and screamed.

But take a closer look——

Although the middle-aged man's head was cut off from the neck, no blood was spilled. The fracture between the neck and the head was very smooth and smooth, and the bones, flesh and throat inside were clearly visible, but there was no blood.

The apprentice held up the middle-aged man's head, but the middle-aged man was still opening his mouth and talking.

One time he said that he poked his nostril, another time he said that he pulled his hair, and another time he scolded the apprentice angrily, saying that the apprentice's little finger was pressing his eyes.

The apprentice apologized, took a tray, put his head on the tray, walked around with it, and showed everyone one by one.

I saw that the head was as vivid as usual, not like it had been chopped off from the body. It was still smiling and saying hello to everyone, which made everyone surprised.

"Everyone is happy to see it, and the villain is going to ask for a reward!"

"Good job! Reward!"

Those who came out to hang out during the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, even if they were not wealthy, still had some change with them to buy water, food and gadgets. It was a pleasure to see them. Even stingy people would follow suit if they saw others throwing away money.

Throw away a copper or two less.

Even Song You took out a few coins and threw them forward.

The calico cat turned back to stare at him.

"Sanhua Empress, don't be so stingy. If you like what you see, it's okay to support her a little bit." The Taoist said, looking down at her and lowering his voice, "I was the one who rewarded you with the few pennies just now. It happened to be in my arms.

He also carried a lot of money for Empress Sanhua, does Sanhua Empress want to reward him? If so, I will do it for Empress Sanhua and throw it over."

"..."

The calico cat immediately withdrew his gaze and stared ahead.

But her eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a long time, she turned back and meowed at him.

"Miss Sanhua is really generous!"

Song You took out a penny from his pocket and threw it out.

"Thank you so much..."

The head on the apprentice's tray said this.

Then something even more surprising happened. The person on the bench over there actually stood up, turned around, and bowed his hands to everyone. However, while turning around, he accidentally got caught on a chair leg and fell down.

"Ouch!"

His head screamed in pain.

"I've made you laugh. We're far away, so it's not convenient to wake you up." The body got up and continued to cup his hands, and the head said, "You guys are so generous, I should offer you a drink."

Then he asked his apprentice to get some wine.

The wine was not drunk from the head, but poured from the neck of the body. After a while, the head's face was red, a little drunk, his eyebrows were dancing, and he was so intoxicated that he even sang a song.

The officials all around were astonished.

After a while, the middle-aged man's face became redder and redder, and then he asked his apprentice to put his head back on. Suddenly it became the same as before, with no wounds visible.

"It's embarrassing."

The middle-aged man bowed his hands in front of everyone, and then made a weak look, saying that the spell just now was too draining and he was tired. He used this to ask for another round of rewards, and then asked his apprentice to perform for everyone.

The apprentice does not have the skills of the master, but he is not bad.

I saw him fetching various colors of paint, mixing them into a pile, and then told everyone that this place is not near the river yet. I guess you haven't seen it at the lantern festival yet, so I asked everyone to take a look first.

Then he drank the paint in one gulp, opened his mouth and spat it towards the wall, and there was a picture of a river bank lantern festival on the wall.

The picture shows Changjing, where the lantern festival is held tonight.

There were huge crowds and countless colorful lights.

Talented men and beautiful women walk among them.

Vivid and vivid.

Some people who have just returned from the lantern festival say that the riverside is like this, and some people even found themselves there.

Song You had already left the crowd with the cat in his arms.

The previous scholars and monks also walked out of the crowd and went to the river. When they saw Song You, the monk who had performed before put his hands together and bowed.

Song You also quickly returned the gift.

The two sides were not far away, and I faintly heard the monk's friend asking him. The monk told the truth, saying that when he walked out of the cloth shop, he happened to see the Taoist turning around and looking at him. He must have been a wise man.

Only an expert with good cultivation and knowledge can see where he is going at a glance and salute accordingly.

So the scholars quickly turned around, bowed to the Taoist, and then left.

"Taoist priest……"

"Um?"
