"Reincarnation!"
[You have been restless since you were a child, and you are very interested in the magic of the underworld. You often run out of the house to watch the strange people performing acrobatics on the streets. You have also secretly learned some strange magic, but because you have no master to teach you, you can never get the key points, and you can only learn the appearance.]
[When you grow up, you create a magical sect, but you can't recruit any disciples. Usually you can only use the Three Immortals Return to the Cave to make a living in the market.]
[I heard that there are many experts in big cities, so you are ready to go and see them]
Identity [Master of the Magic Sect, Mana +10]
During the reign of Emperor Kangxi.
Severe drought.
It's hot to walk on the road.
"Why does the leader of the Magic Gate walk barefoot on the street?"
Tan Wenjie looked down at his outfit.
Leader? ×
Beggar! √
"I got ripped off. If I had known it was so unreliable, I would have rolled the dice twice more."
Although some people look good wearing a sack, this kind of dressing affects his charm and makes him look unkempt.
Tan Wenjie put his hands on the pergola and looked up. The sky was cloudless and the sun was like a heating lamp above his head. The hot wind blew in his face, burning his cheeks.
There was a lot of noise in front, with a group of people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
On the high platform, a Taoist priest was dancing with swords and praying for rain.
"Jiliguala Om Mani Padme Hum, your money is not for me, but for the Dragon King."
The Taoist suddenly turned around and used the trick of "immortal pointing the way".
"Isn't this Master Ren?"
It happened that the other person turned around and faced Tan Wenjie, allowing him to see the other person's appearance clearly.
I always run into familiar faces in secret places.
"Pray for rain?" A voice came from the side. Tan Wenjie turned around and found that it was a white-haired Taoist with a goatee.
The other party also saw Tan Wenjie and looked him up and down.
"Tsk tsk, this is incredible, this is incredible."
He circled around Tan Wenjie twice, suddenly looked at the soles of Tan Wenjie's feet, then glanced around again, his expression changing slightly.
Tan Wenjie thought that this old Taoist priest who looked like a martial arts champion would say "I saw a ray of light coming out from the top of your head" and sell him a secret book called Tathagata Palm.
Unexpectedly, the other party just said "Wait for me for a moment", then turned around and jumped onto the stage.
With just a few moves, he subdued the fake Taoist priest who was praying for rain. He waved the umbrella in his hand, which turned into a Bagua diagram specially used for praying for rain.
Others were about to reprimand the Taoist priest for interrupting the rain-praying ceremony, but seeing that he performed the rain-praying movements efficiently and smoothly, although his body was old, his movements were mysterious.
Is it really that capable? Not sure, let's wait and see.
Since no one is coming forward, it's okay for them to wait. The old guy looks like he can fight quite well.
The Bagua diagram represents the wisdom of our ancestors and can be used in marching and fighting, relocating graves, building houses and settling down, praying for rain and blessings, etc. The only difference is that the text on it changes according to the needs.
For example, the Bagua diagram in the Taoist's hand has words such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning and drought written on it, which can drive away drought and pray for rain.
"trick?"
Tan Wenjie stared at it carefully, because it really didn't look like magic.
The old Taoist was busy for a while, but there was still no movement in the sky.
"Okay, you don't want to rain?" The old Taoist set the Dragon King Temple on fire.
The next moment, heavy rain fell.
"What's the principle?"
Tan Wenjie looked up at the sky.
He didn't even see the Dragon King. It was impossible to force the Dragon King to rain by burning down the Dragon King's temple. The other party was just an experienced Taoist who was good at boxing and kicking. He had a little bit of magic power, and was probably at the same level as Wencai.
There can be about 1-5 points.
If this is the master's Qimen among the Qimen Dunjia, this world is definitely a low-magic world.
The chain reaction that the Taoist just created should have some effect, but considering the tiny fluctuation of the other party's magic power, it is impossible to even bring about a bucket of rain.
A red umbrella was held above my head, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.
It splashed dust on the ground, and soon the dust turned into mud. The thirsty men rolled around in the mud and celebrated happily.
On the rain-praying platform, the old Taoist stroked his goat's beard proudly.
When he got up in the morning, he felt rheumatic pain and saw red clouds in the sky. As the saying goes, one should not go out if there is morning glow, but one can travel a thousand miles if there is evening glow. He also used a dragonfly to measure the water humidity in the air and was sure that it would rain in the next two or three days.
"See what that old woman has to say!" The old Taoist turned around and left triumphantly. Halfway through his walk, he realized something and slapped his forehead, "Hiss, I seem to have forgotten something!"
The old Taoist returned home holding an umbrella. As soon as he opened the door, another door in the house opened at exactly the same time.
An old lady walked out.
"What bad luck! I saw your old face when I opened the door!"
"You think I want to see you!"
The two of them hummed in unison and turned back to their respective rooms.
After returning to his room and lying down, the old Taoist priest let out an "Ah!" and sat up. The window next door opened and he could hear the old lady's scolding.
"What are you yelling for, you old fool!"
"I remember, I lost him!"
The old lady opposite taunted: "Don't you have enough people to lose?"
"What do you know? I saw an extraordinary person." The old Taoist stood up. "He has seven stars under his feet, a full forehead, divine light in his eyes, he walks like a dragon and a tiger, and his heart beats like thunder... If he learns from me, he might be able to participate in the Heavenly Master Conference in a year. But he is in trouble. It seems that he has been targeted by someone."
……
Tan Wenjie passed away earlier than the old Taoist priest.
Wouldn't it be humiliating for me to wait obediently? There is no point in praying for rain like a jugglery. He saw it clearly and could only say that there was something in the other party's prayer for rain, but not much.
There was another reason for leaving early: I was being targeted.
He quickly walked away from the crowd with an umbrella. The road ahead was wide, but there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.
"Brother, please wait a moment!"
The people in this world are all wait-and-see people, they speak in riddles and ask everyone to wait when they see them.
Instead of stopping, Tan Wenjie quickened his pace and walked into the narrow alley on the side.
A dozen figures wearing straw raincoats and carrying swords on their waists quickened their pace to catch up.
The narrow alley was empty.
"What about people?"
Suddenly a strong wind blew.
A figure came out from the wall and kicked.
The first person subconsciously raised his hand to block, but was hit by the huge force. His eyes widened and he flew backwards, knocking over a dozen people behind him.
It was because of the slippery ground due to the rain, but it was also due to the terrifying strength of the other party. They seemed to be hit by huge rocks rolling down the mountain. Their bodies were completely out of control. By the time they reacted, they had already fallen down, screaming in agony, unable to move.
"Do you have any money?"
"what?"
"What? Robbery!"
Tan Wenjie raised his hand and placed it on a man's neck. "Hand over all the money!"
Seeing that the other party was still glaring, he pulled out the knife from his waist and chopped on the blade with his hand.
With a clang, the knife broke.
"Look, I've been with a few castrated guys before!" He glanced at the crotches of several people.
As a good man with good character and good academic performance, he would not rob passers-by casually, but who made these guys follow him and learn Japanese games? He hated this kind of people the most.
He had never heard of terms like stalking and Wen Yating, but that didn't stop him from condemning the other party's perverted behavior.
Everyone immediately kneeled down, the knife was so sharp, the castration would definitely be very clean.
They handed over the money obediently with both hands.
"You are so poor, but you still learn to rob people?" Tan Wenjie grabbed a few bags of money, which contained not only small change but also copper coins.
Some of them had tears in their eyes.
It’s not easy to do this job.
Tan Wenjie looked around at everyone, then stared at one person and said, "Take off your shoes. What are you looking at? I'm not robbing your feet."
"Yes." The other party took off his shoes obediently.
But when Tan Wenjie raised his feet to put on his shoes, the dozen people who had been screaming in pain just now all held their breath and looked at Tan Wenjie's feet.
"Bah, pervert!"
I just admire beautiful women's feet occasionally, but this group of people are staring at my feet in a perverted way.
As a pervert, he feels perverted.
Tan Wenjie put on his shoes and left in a hurry. He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would not be able to control himself and start a killing spree.
Holding an umbrella and walking slowly along the way, Tan Wenjie's nose kept twitching, but unfortunately the heavy rain easily covered up the smell, so he could only let out Chu Renmei's nose.
"Help me find someone with magical powers."
There were some jobs he couldn't do because running errands was too tiring, and he was naturally lazy, but Chu Renmei was very suitable for doing them, floating around.
After a while, Chu Renmei appeared in front of him.
"found it?"
Chu Renmei said nothing, but just raised her wide blue sleeves and pointed into the distance.
"Look at you. I wanted to make you a general in front of the altar. You can't be so introverted." Drawing the big pie first also gave Chu Renmei some motivation.
It seemed that Chu Renmei was naturally not interested in chicken soup for the soul. It was all in vain and people didn't have the sense of accomplishment of a leader's speech.
It's really a headache to meet such employees.
"I'll definitely have to find two more flatterers in the future."
It's not for enjoyment, it's purely to liven up the team atmosphere.
There is a taciturn Chu Renmei who is into CP and pure love, there is a Black Mountain old demon who thinks about getting married all day long, there is also a vicious cat who likes to possess especially beautiful women, and the rest are all taciturn.
It’s hard to lead a team.
He walked in the direction Chu Renmei pointed, and at the end there was a dilapidated temple.
A drunk old man with a bad nose is snoring.
"Ok?"
The old man heard footsteps and looked up at Tan Wenjie. He turned over without saying a word and continued to sleep. But he suddenly startled and sat up straight, rubbing his eyes with his hands, looking at Chu Renmei beside Tan Wenjie in disbelief.
"Oh my god, what a vicious monster!"
"Can you see her?"
In Tan Wenjie's opinion, all the strange people in this world rely on their insignificant magic power combined with boxing and magic tricks, so it is impossible for them to see Chu Renmei.
My magic power is too weak, so I am not worthy of seeing it.
"I'm the drunk Taoist priest from Mount Longhu. I've seen all kinds of monsters and demons." The old man burped and lay down again. "You should have told me you raised it earlier. Don't disturb my sleep."
The drunk Taoist was really kind-hearted. He even took a deep sleep when he found a ghost in his house.
Tan Wenjie turned and left. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. When he came back wearing a straw raincoat, he was holding a roast chicken and a pot of wine in his hands.
As soon as he put it down, the drunk Taoist sat up after smelling the smell.
"You want to buy me a drink?"
"I'll drink it myself." Tan Wenjie shook his head. "Go to sleep and don't disturb me while I'm drinking and eating meat."
"Give me a glass." The drunk Taoist came over with a shameless face.
"Answer me a question and I'll pour you a drink."
He definitely had no intention of fishing to amuse the old man.
"Ask quickly! Ask quickly!"
"How long will it take for the Fengdu Mage Conference to begin?"
"There's still more than a year left, pour the wine!"
When Tan Wenjie poured a cup of wine, the drunk Taoist hurriedly gulped it down.
Smack your lips and savor the taste.
"Are you going to attend the Mage Conference?" The Drunken Taoist looked at Chu Renmei with fear.
It was blurry and I couldn't see clearly, but I just felt that the other party must be very powerful.
As for the young man in front of him, the drunk Taoist felt that he was just an ordinary person, but with a little thought he knew that he must be extraordinary since he had such a vicious and evil creature accompanying him.
"The Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order is definitely yours." The Drunken Taoist directly determined the result.
"Are you so sure?" Tan Wenjie poured another glass for the drunk Taoist.
"We in Longhu Mountain are still the judges. My senior brother went to select the last generation of Heavenly Master. Good wine!"
"More than a year."
Tan Wenjie looked at the heavy rain outside.
Fortunately, he got used to it.
……
On the other side, a dozen people who were beaten up by Tan Wenjie limped away.
Ride a horse quickly.
Finally, they entered a large house under the cover of night.
Prince Su's Palace.
The side courtyard of the palace is where Prince Su's retainers, the Bat Master, reside.
Knock gently.
"Come in!"
A dozen people walked in, only to find that another group of colleagues had arrived earlier than them, and they seemed to have been beaten up as well.
We were both wanderers in this world, and I suddenly felt balanced.
At least they didn't get splashed with poison in the face, they just got punched.
"Are you sure that man is the young prince?" the Bat Mage asked.
The newcomer looked at his companion in confusion.
"Not sure, but that person was with Kaohsiung, and there was a jade pendant around his neck."
More than ten years ago, Kaohsiung, the chief instructor of the Eight Banners, violated the law of intermarriage between Manchus and Han people, and his wife was killed. In anger, Kaohsiung kidnapped Prince Su's only son, Xiao Beile, and fled the palace. He has not been heard from since.
Now that Kaohsiung has appeared again, the person next to him is most likely the little prince.
It’s just that Prince Su was a handsome man when he was young, and his wife was also very beautiful, but the guy they found in Kaohsiung was too ugly and didn’t look like Prince Su at all.
"Sir!" A group of people who came later couldn't help but say, "The one they met might not be the little prince. We just found the little prince!"
"you?"
"Yes, we met a young man today who had seven stars on the soles of his feet."
"Stepping on seven stars is the emperor's order." The Bat Mage said, "Go and kill Kaohsiung, then go and see if the kid next to him has seven stars under his feet. As for the other guy, bring him back!"
Regardless of whether he is a young prince or not, people with such a fate will surely be able to achieve great things for themselves.
"I'm afraid we can't catch him. More than a dozen of us can't defeat him in one blow."
"Useless!" The Bat Mage kicked him. "Forget it, I'll go myself! You lead the way!"
The person who was kicked got up, complaining in his heart but not daring to say it out loud.
They don't get any funding and they beat people at any time. If it weren't for the fact that it's hard to find a job and they might be killed if they quit, they really wouldn't want to do this.
They had just been robbed, and this was mentioned several times when I was recounting what happened just now, but the Bat Wizard didn't mention reimbursement.
The Bat Wizard suddenly said, "By the way, you all did a great job this time. I will reward you handsomely when I come back."
Every time they say there will be huge rewards, but they are just empty promises!
……
The rainstorm finally stopped, and Tan Wenjie rejected Zui Daoren's invitation to go to Longhu Mountain together.
Spending one night in the dilapidated temple was already his limit. He still had a year to go, so he'd better find a place to spend this time, preferably a large courtyard, and find some maids to spend the year leisurely.
There was no need for him to learn those street tricks. He followed the Drunken Taoist for a long time, but he only learned the "bone shrinking skill".
Bone shrinking skill lv1, bone shrinking skill.
He didn't have any special skills, and he even reached the maximum level after only a short period of practice, and he didn't learn anything. It seemed that the plug-in judged the Drunken Taoist's "skills" as insignificant tricks.
Don't let it occupy the skill bar.
The Drunken Taoist's most proud magic is to draw wine from a painting. In fact, it is a trick combined with a little bit of magical power to sleight of hand. Even sorcerers and the like cannot match it. Tan Wenjie learned it after just two glances.
After Tan Wenjie accidentally demonstrated his Lightning Thunder Fist, the Drunken Taoist refused to continue making a fool of himself no matter what.
There was still fog and drizzle outside, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Leave the ruined temple.
Holding an umbrella, I walked slowly to a lake.
Pedestrians were hurrying, and only a few people were crossing the bridge with umbrellas.
After a day and night of heavy rain, the dried-up lake was filled with rain water again. The fish appeared from nowhere and when I looked down from the shore, I could see many fish swimming with their tails wagging.
"I suddenly want to sing a few lines." Tan Wenjie cleared his throat.
There shouldn't be a pretty girl who would lend him an umbrella, right? He can sing quite well, and the next sentence he said seemed to be about the beautiful scenery of West Lake in March. He must have never released a snake in his previous life, and he didn't know if the other party was willing to give birth to a baby for him.
"Sir, do you want to take a boat?" Someone suddenly spoke up, "My boat is famous for being fast!"
Tan Wenjie turned around and saw that it was a boatman.
It was dry yesterday, but we're still out picking up passengers today. I knew there was something wrong at first glance!
After getting on the boat, row forward and stop in the center of the lake.
"How do you usually fish?"
"Fish also know how to form cliques," the boatman said. "I rely on this shoe for fishing."
He pointed to his right foot.
"Oh?"
"Just wait and see."
The boatman placed his right foot on the water, gently shaking his ankle, and stepping on the water surface that was constantly rippling due to the rain.
"Cloth shoes turn into carp!"
With a whoosh, the cloth shoe on his right foot immediately turned into a gray-black carp, and the fish tail splashed out of the water and rushed out.
"The boss is at work again."
The carp spoke word by word, which surprised Tan Wenjie. Wouldn't its feet have a fishy smell?
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."
The carp dived into the water, and soon a group of cloth shoes and a group of carp swam over and jumped onto the boat consciously.
The boatman lifted his right foot, and the carp jumped on it and hung on it, turning it into a cloth shoe.
"Friend." The boatman pointed around, "It just happened to rain heavily, so I'm destined to get rich today. Come on, give me the money and I'll take you back to shore."
"What a novel way of robbing." Tan Wenjie was amazed.
He was just about to applaud and give money as a reward, but he didn't expect that the other person was actually a robber.
