Need for madness and less scourge myth

Chapter 2

Mingzhou City is the state capital of Mingzhou, and it is a transportation hub linking the past and the future.

It was almost noon, which was the busiest time.There were crowds of people, and the sound of hawking rang out.From time to time, there are strangers passing through the streets, and people in the city have long been familiar with this matter.Only some urchins followed behind the strangers, making noises and grimacing.

"Xiao Jiu, there is a tea shop in front, let's sit and have a rest!" Marvin was particularly interested in seeing the old-fashioned style after being used to the skyscrapers of the twentieth century.After watching for a full hour, I felt a little weak, so I turned around and called out to Xiao Jiu who was behind me.

Although Xiao Jiu was not tired, it was March and the weather was a bit hot.There is no reason why you should rest only after seeing Ma Wen.

Juxian Tea Shop occupies a large area, the signboard is extremely old, and it has obviously been open for a long time.The inside was cleaned extremely clean, and a dozen or so tables were filled with people drinking tea.

There is also a desk on the east side of the teahouse, on which a storyteller who is about forty years old, wearing a green robe and with a slightly curled beard, is telling a book there.

Xiao Jiu found Dr. Tea, and after spending a few copper coins, he finally found two seats by the window, ordered a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks, and then sat down.

"Wang Qi, I heard that you have learned the wall-penetrating technique. Show us a show!" Ma Wen had just sat down when he heard a loud and penetrating laugh from the next table.

"Zhang Mazi, you still want to see me perform just because of your deadly appearance, so go home and watch your wife is the real thing." Then a very angry voice sounded from the tea room.

Ma Wencai followed the voice, but saw a young man in a half-new jacket coming in from the tea room, shouting loudly as he walked, he was fat and fat, with small eyes that were as big as beans. It's like falling asleep.

"Wang Qi, I heard that last night, when Zhang Shusheng's wife was taking a bath, she found a figure outside the house. Could it be that you used the wall penetration technique to peek at that fat woman taking a bath in the middle of the night?"

"Wang Qi, haven't the bags on your head gone yet?" Then there were two more laughs, and it was obvious that the target was the fat young man who had just walked in.

"Go, go! What do you know? When I was in Laoshan, I drank fairy wine? It was just one jug of wine. More than 20 of us drank more than a dozen cups, but there was still wine in that jug." Qi waved his hand impatiently, pointed at the teapot on the table, and said in a very angry voice.

"Just brag, drink fairy wine, and dream. Didn't Chang'e dance for you in that month?" Zhang Mazi mocked loudly, and the pockmarks on his face were also shining.

The sound of a few people fighting made Ma Wencai's skin feel tender.There was once a story recorded in "Liao Zhai" called Laoshan Taoist priest.

"Could it be that this Wang Qi is the guy who studied art in Laoshan, and what they are talking about is something that he can't use after learning the wall-penetrating technique." Ma Wencai frowned, and said to Xiao Jiu: "Change the pot of new tea, I want to invite this Wang Qi to drink tea."

"Master, this Wang Qi knew he was a liar at a glance. Didn't you see that this group of people treated him like this?" Xiao Jiu responded, but instead of getting up, he said with a bitter face.

"I told you to go, why are there so many nonsense." Ma Wencai scolded with a smile, no matter what he said, he is also the son of Mingzhou Biejia, who belongs to the second generation of officials, and it's just a small money to buy some tea.

"Just looking at the young master, you can tell that he is a learned man. I don't know what to do with calling the villain?" Xiao Jiu went over there to say something, and Wang Qi ran over, nodding and bowing.

"Brother Wang Qi!" Ma Wencai held the teacup with his thumb and forefinger, turning it with his hands while smiling.

"The younger one is Wang Qi!" Wang Qi sat down at the table with a playful smile, reached out and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth.

"I'm very interested in the things on Mount Lao. I heard that you were studying art in Mount Lao, and you also learned a fairy art called piercing the wall. I want to ask Brother Wang Qi, the magic trick of the gods in this world!" Ma Wencai also said. Ignore the rude behavior of the other party, and continue to ask questions.

"Young master, I'm not just bragging. I did worship the old gods on Mount Lao as my teacher, and I also learned the art of immortality. They don't understand ordinary people, but you are the master." Wang Qishen said mysteriously. One sentence, then raised his head again, and yelled loudly: "Lao Shantou, why hasn't the fragrant tea come up yet. This young master treats guests, listen to me tell him about my apprenticeship with an immortal master."

Wang Qi's shout made the whole tea house quiet, and then immediately boiled up again.Many tea drinkers were secretly cursing Wang Qi for meeting another idiot today, and fooling them with the crap about studying art in Laoshan.If it weren't for Ma Wencai's high-quality clothing, and Xiaojiu dressed up like a servant from a rich family, I'm afraid someone would have laughed at that time.

After Wang Qi yelled, he turned around triumphantly, with an expression like a general who has won the battle: "Young master, if you want to talk about the old gods on Laoshan, it's really amazing..."

While listening to Wang Qi's narration, he compared it with the stories he remembered from his previous life.Ma Wencai finally confirmed that the Wang Qi in front of him was the person who studied art in Laoshan described by Pu Songling.

The matter is actually very simple. Wang Qi heard that there is an old Taoist who knows immortal art in Laoshan, so he ran to Laoshan with untold hardships, and finally worshiped an old Taoist as his teacher.In the first month, Wang Qi had been chopping firewood with his seniors, working very hard.After a month passed, Wang Qi was already thinking of quitting.But it happened that two guests came to visit the old Taoist that night, so the old Taoist asked all the disciples to attend the banquet together.During the banquet, the old Taoist cut a moon out of paper, pasted it on the screen wall, and it became a real moon.Then a guest used magic to turn the chopsticks into beautiful women, and danced for the banquet.The old Taoist shared a jug of wine with all his disciples. Although the jug is small, the wine in it is always there and inexhaustible.

After such a banquet, Wang Qi saw the power of fairy art, and finally gave up the idea of ​​going home.But the life on the mountain was too bitter, and after another month, Wang Qi couldn't stand it, so he bid farewell to the old Taoist.The old Taoist taught him a formula called the wall penetration technique.On Mount Lao, Wang Qi passed through the wall smoothly.But after returning home, he couldn't succeed no matter what, instead he was bumped into a big bag, which became the reason why Wang Qi was ridiculed.

Obviously, everyone in the tea house was familiar with Wang Qi's story. Although Wang Qi told it vividly, it didn't appeal to everyone in the tea house at all, except for Ma Wencai, who had already planned in his heart, and who heard the story for the first time. Xiao Jiu, the rest of the people didn't even pay attention to this table.

"Xiao Jiu, give me two taels of silver?" Ma Wencai kept smiling until Wang Qi finished speaking before finally speaking.

"Two taels of silver!" Xiao Jiu subconsciously covered the purse under her waist.

"You bastard, you are good at everything, but the money is too tight! Take it out quickly! Master, I want to buy something!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Two taels of silver, I'll buy your formula for piercing the wall!" Marvin pointed to the two taels of silver on the table.

"What!" Wang Qi and Xiao Jiu exclaimed almost at the same time.
