In the evening, Shi Xuan arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion on time and waited. The sound of chanting sutras, shouting Buddha's trumpets, and reciting mantras could be heard all around. Until the gate of the Governor's Mansion creaked open, and the steward who had registered everyone in the square during the day came out. Everyone stopped and looked at the door.
"Exalted gentlemen, the governor is hosting a banquet in the middle hall for everyone. Please follow me there." The steward's voice was loud, he bowed politely, then turned around and led the way inside.
Entering the door is the lobby of the state capital, which looks solemn and solemn. Those charlatans and swindlers involuntarily slowed down and walked cautiously. Shi Xuan looked around with the mentality of observing cultural relics. Several respected people around him looked at Shi Xuan with the eyes of people with shallow knowledge.
Enter through the moon gate guarded by the government officials next to the lobby, pass through several courtyards along the corridor, and arrive at the backyard of the government office, where the governor and his family currently live.
The central hall is very spacious, with bamboo mats placed inside. Outside the hall is a green and clear pond. It seems that the snow has stopped in the past few days, and the sun is shining brightly. There are also servants cleaning up, so there is no Without the ice layer on top, the pond is about four or five times the size of the nave. There are several rockeries in the middle. Surrounding the rockery are withered lotus leaves all over the pond. Thinking back to summer, it must be a sky full of endless green lotus leaves and lotus flowers reflecting the sun. Such a beautiful scene, successive governors often entertained guests here.
The bamboo mats were placed opposite each other along the central axis, with seven or eight rows on each side. Shi Xuan walked to the remote bamboo mat near the window, knelt down on the brocade group, and looked left and right. There are approximately two hundred bamboo mats, with two to three people kneeling on each bamboo mat, and there are also people who occupy one alone like Shixuan.
Shi Xuan also saw that Zen Master Zhiguang from the Great Buddha Temple was sitting at the top of the first row. He was indeed somewhat famous. His disciples and disciples were sitting in the second row behind him. Shi Xuan looked at him when he saw him. , all looked arrogant and disdainful.
The food was served very quickly, probably prepared long ago. Shi Xuan was not polite and started eating at the desk, which made those who kept their identity or pretended to be even more contemptuous. From time to time, people looked at him with mocking and disdainful eyes. Xuanhun didn't care. The cook in the Governor's Mansion was really good. Now that he was full, if he met the great envoys and divine kings later, his fighting power would be long-lasting.
Shi Xuan had just finished eating when he heard a deliberate cough from the master's seat. He looked up and saw an elderly man with a gray beard, elegant appearance, and dressed in butler's clothes standing at the master's seat. Everyone present looked over, cleared his throat and said: "I am the second steward of the Governor's Mansion. I am here to entertain you on the orders of my lord. As you all know, my lord is not feeling well, and I have specially called for you all. People come here for diagnosis and treatment, but yesterday many deceitful people also sneaked in, so today I would like to ask you to show me a few things, so as not to delay your treatment time."
Hearing that it was the second housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion, Shi Xuan immediately used the Qi Watching Technique to look at it. The thin and aging white Qi was entwined with traces of red divine light, making the whole body appear energetic, but there was no trace of his own cultivation. At most, they can cast spells and use talismans with the help of idols.
Hearing that they needed to demonstrate their talents, most of the people in the hall started to make noises. Someone said in a weird voice: "Does the governor still want to find some patients to try the method on us? You know that the disease is gone like a thread."
The second housekeeper immediately answered: "If you are just an ordinary doctor, please come back." He was not polite at all. At this time, several strong men walked out and stood behind the second housekeeper, holding hands.
The expressions on the faces of a dozen people suddenly turned ugly. After weighing for a while, they stood up and left. The servants around them also politely sent them out.
Seeing that the second housekeeper had a tough attitude, the remaining several hundred people discussed each other for a while before they reluctantly had no objections. Shi Xuan had no relatives or friends here, so he played with the tea cup and looked at these people with interest, looking at their anger. Judging from the magic, there are not many people who are capable of magic. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are those who can conceal the energy.
The next person who walked to the center first was Zen Master Zhiguang from the Great Buddha Temple. He shouted the name of Buddha and flicked the prayer beads in his hand. One of them flew out of the window and exploded over the pond, falling with little bits of fire. .
After doing this, Zen Master Zhiguang proudly performed a Buddhist salute around him, and then looked at the second steward in the hall. The second housekeeper frowned and looked out the window, then looked at Zen Master Zhiguang, and finally bowed his hands respectfully: "Master, please go back to your seat and rest first. After everything is over, we can go to see my master together."
Shi Xuan secretly laughed in his stomach. The second housekeeper may have rich knowledge in general, but his knowledge in magic is definitely not good. This monk can only recite the ignition technique. He just used the ignition technique to ignite the rosary. The gunpowder produced this effect. Shi Xuan, who was sitting by the window, could smell the faint smell of sulfur.
After Zen Master Zhiguang returned to his seat, he was immediately surrounded by praises from around him. Although he tried his best to act like a worldly master, the glowing expression on his face had betrayed him.
After that, everyone walked to the center in order of seating to show off. Unfortunately, most of them were street entertainers, which the second steward could see through at a glance. A small number of them had martial arts powers, but the second steward did not. Inviting them to come in together later, there were some wandering doctors and others who showed some prescriptions, but they could not satisfy the second housekeeper.
In this hour, there was only one person and one person, each of whom demonstrated a magic technique. One was to condense a faint thunder light in the palm of his hand, and the other was to freeze the tea in the tea cup into ice cubes, which made the second housekeeper nod with satisfaction. , and ask them to wait at their seats.
Perhaps there were three masters selected. The second housekeeper was not in a bad mood, so he did not kick everyone else out. He just asked them to leave on their own after it was over.
Since Shi Xuan was located close to the window, when it was time for him to take the field, there were only two or three people who had not yet played. And judging from their looks, they probably didn't want to go up to show off, and would just wait to leave later.
Shi Xuan stood up, stretched his body, and walked slowly to the middle of the nave. He felt the eyes from both sides. Some were watching the show, some were disdainful, some didn't take it seriously, and some were laughing at the people from the Great Buddha Temple. look. You can even hear private whispers: "You come here at such a young age, you can't just be a mess."
"At his age, I was still working as a coolie for the master."
"Tsk, tsk, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not solid."
"I wonder what tricks this little Taoist priest is going to perform, haha."
…………
Shi Xuan had made up his mind before to show off vigorously and strive to see the governor immediately, so when the first few people showed it, he was making some preparations and quietly placed a spell on the window. Speed up to bring in the outdoor air.
Amidst the ridicule and disdain around him, Shi Xuan stood in his own room and said to the second housekeeper with a relaxed expression: "Let's see what the poor means." He gestured as if no one else was watching and whispered in a low voice. He uttered a spell, then pointed his finger in the air and activated the long-prepared large-scale spell "Drip Water Turns into Ice".
"Haha, I didn't expect this kid to do such a good job. He must have performed on the street a lot."
"Amitabha, this little donor has worked hard, but it's a pity that his image is not like his spirit."
"That's it, that's it. How can I compare to you, master? You can kill him with just one hand."
"Uh, why is it a little cold?"
"It's not like you were exposed just now, and now you feel cold. Oh, it's really a bit cold."
"Ah, ah! What is that?"
Everyone looked around in surprise and saw beautiful hexagonal snowflakes flying in the air. Some fell on their heads, some fell in the tea cups, and some fell on their hands, bringing a chill. .
In mid-air, a little bit of snowflakes were still condensing, and then they flew freely along with the wind blowing into the central hall. The snow fell heavier and heavier. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in stunned silence, looking at this misty and beautiful scenery of flying snow.
Someone stood up in surprise and knocked over the tea cup in front of them. Someone looked out the window suddenly and shouted: "It's not snowing outside!" Following his voice, everyone realized that it was a bright night outside. Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is indeed not snowing.
I was really shocked, including the well-informed second housekeeper, and Zen Master Zhiguang of the Great Buddha Temple who looked up to the top. In the snowy house, through the goose feather-like snow, I looked out the window at a clean window. , speechless for a long time.
Shi Xuan is very satisfied with the effect he has caused. The trick of dripping water into ice itself is not so powerful, but it is severe winter. Although the sun has been shining for a few days, it is still very cold at night, so the cold air outside is first introduced. We walked in, and after nearly an hour of preparation, we arrived at this snow-covered sky in one fell swoop.
When the snow gradually stopped falling in the hall, everyone came back to their senses, but they did not say a word and carefully controlled their breathing, for fear that if they were a little louder, they would offend the little Taoist priest in plain clothes in the middle of the hall.
After all, the second housekeeper had seen the Chixia Divine Lord. After coming back to his senses, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Master Immortal, please go back and wait a moment. After I dismissed the rest of the people, I immediately led the audience. You go and see my master.”
After the remaining two or three people had seen such a magical Taoist method, they naturally did not dare to show anything anymore. They immediately stood up and left, and hurriedly followed most of the people out of the house. Even the three people had The monk who was practicing magic also showed that he wanted to leave.
Shi Xuan stepped forward and stopped them: "Everyone, I have something to ask privately. I don't know if it's convenient." His tone was very tactful and his attitude was firm.
One of them, Zen Master Zhiguang, turned pale with fright at the thought of offending the little Taoist priest in front of him, and the legs and feet of the little novice monks behind him were trembling. Zen Master Zhiguang finally suppressed his fear and replied: "The little monk naturally knows everything and will tell you everything." The other two people also agreed with livid faces.
