The cold expression on Master Ma's face became even colder, and he shouted angrily, "Boy, you'd better not make trouble unreasonably, or you will suffer the consequences."
Perhaps he sensed something, Master Ma's eyes cut into me like knives.
I didn't worry too much. The good energy in my body suddenly rose up, and I appeared next to Master Ma, stepping on the "Bagua Gangbu", a very common Gangbu that I learned from the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
Taoist Priest Ma realized that something was wrong and tried to dodge.
But he had no skills, so how could he possibly dodge? I stretched out my hand and whispered a few spells. Then, I stuck a spell between my fingers on Ma Chun.
As soon as the immobilization talisman appeared, Ma Chun's body was fixed in place.
When the onlookers saw me use this method, they all showed surprised expressions.
The expressions of several ghost-catching Taoist priests who had good deeds in their bodies also changed slightly when they looked at me. However, although they knew that I had good deeds in my body, the level of Taoism I showed to the outside world was not high, so although they had surprised expressions, they did not take it seriously.
Instead, those fake Taoists were dumbfounded and a little uneasy for a moment.
I didn't pay much attention to it and directly snatched the vermilion tube from Ma Chun's hand.
I took the tube in my hand and looked at it, then raised it and said to those who were staring at me, "Now, everyone, watch carefully and see how this fake ghost-catching Taoist priest cheats people."
The girl with the small mouth and the young man on the side frowned and stared at me unkindly.
Although I immobilized Master Ma's body, they still thought I was not a good person.
A fine layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Taoist Master Ma's forehead.
I was right in front of him. He lowered his voice and said to me, "Young man, I admit that I am your real ghost-catching Taoist priest. Let me go and I will give you all the money I earned from selling the amulet. If you expose me, I will really not be able to stay in the ghost market anymore."
"Please have pity on me! ... "
I glared at Taoist Ma and ignored him.
Everything is based on facts. Now, if I don't expose this big liar, then those people just now will be cheated of their money without knowing it.
And if I agreed to Ma Chun's decision to go along with him, then I would not be worthy of being a Taoist priest who catches ghosts.
Then, I slowly opened the lid of the vermilion tube.
Pointing the open end of the tube towards everyone, I said loudly, "Everyone, look carefully. Now, the inside of this tube is just like it was at the beginning. There is nothing inside."
Some of those watching nodded.
After a while, with a smile on my face, I slowly turned the base underneath the vermilion tube.
When I twisted the base of the tube, it quickly started to rotate, and as the base rotated, a lot of white smoke came out of the tube again.
When white smoke appeared, the expressions of surprise on the faces of the onlookers became even more intense.
Many people subconsciously tried to dodge.
"This is just ordinary smoke. Don't panic. It is not evil at all!" I reminded those people.
Then, without saying anything more, I unscrewed the base of the tube completely. What appeared under the base was a piece of alum-like substance, and a small area was already soaked in water.
I know it's a chemical, but I haven't figured out what it is yet.
.
When they saw the thing, some of the onlookers already understood.
"I see, that's how it is... That thing is placed under the base of the cylinder. When you twist the base, the thing soaked in water will come into contact with the air. When it comes into contact with the air, a reaction occurs and smoke is produced."
"That's not some evil spirit at all, it's just a chemical reaction!"
"Asshole, this old man actually deceived us, it's so abominable. So, those amulets he gave us might be fake."
"It might be fake. That amulet is definitely fake!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they seemed to be looking for the old Taoist Ma to settle the score.
Even the fake Taoist priests who were with Taoist Ma retreated far away when they saw that things were not going well. Some even left secretly, probably because they were afraid of being implicated.
At this time, what I didn't expect was that the girl with a small mouth among the two women and one man actually came to me slowly. She looked at me and asked nervously: "But, when Taoist Ma pointed his finger at us just now, Xiaoping and I did feel something. Big brother, this can't be fake?!"
The girl with the small mouth was only about 18 or 19 years old, so it was okay for her to call me "big brother". However, when I thought about how she had just treated me as a fake Taoist priest and said those things to me, I was still very angry.
But who can blame me for being a generous person
Glancing at the girl with the small mouth, I explained, "That's because this Taoist priest Ma has played another clever trick."
"A clever trick?"
The girl with the small mouth had confusion in her eyes and looked puzzled.
Some onlookers urged, "Little brother, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly. If what Taoist Ma did just now was fake, we will not let him go. We must hand this liar over to the management department of the Ghost Market and let them deal with him."
Seeing these people so anxious, I came to Ma Chun again.
Sweat kept pouring down Ma Chun's old face.
When he saw me coming over, he said in shock: "You...you...stay away from me, what do you want to do?"
It seems that he is guilty.
I shrugged my shoulders and said with a smile, "Master Ma, don't panic. I have no ill will towards you. I just want to tell you that not everyone can be a ghost-catching Taoist priest. Also, even if you become a Taoist priest, you must not lie to others. This will damage your virtue."
Then, I simply grabbed one of Ma Chun's sleeves and shook it hard.
"Click!"
Suddenly, something rolled out of one of Ma Chun's sleeves and fell to the ground.
It was a small flat gourd-shaped bottle, a bit like the light yellow bottle that contains quick-acting heart pills.
When the bottle fell to the ground, it cracked.
When he saw the bottle being shaken out from his sleeve by me, Taoist Master Ma's face turned pale.
I kicked the bottle with my foot and the small bottle broke into pieces.
Then, transparent liquid flowed to the ground, and a cool feeling instantly filled the air.
I bent down and touched the ** with my fingertips.
Sure enough, a hint of coolness passed through my fingers and reached my body.
I gestured to the stunned little girl and whispered, "Come on, try it out and see if it's the same feeling as when Taoist Master Ma cast a spell on you earlier."
The girl with a small mouth glanced at me, and when I nodded, she bent down.
After dipping a little ** with your finger,
The girl with the small mouth's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Then, she stood up with a guilty look on her face, bowed to me, and said loudly: "Big brother, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you before. You are the real ghost-catching Taoist priest."
At this point, the girl with the small mouth raised her finger and pointed at Ma Chun, saying angrily: "And he is just an old rogue who wants to cheat people out of money, a big liar!"
At this time, the girl who looked very timid and the young man also came over.
The young man shook his head and apologized to me very embarrassedly, saying, "Brother, I'm so sorry, we misunderstood you just now."
The timid girl also lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, big brother."
Seeing the three of them like this, I suddenly felt very refreshed.
At the same time, when I look at these three people, I find them much more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, I don't blame you for what happened just now. If I have to blame someone, I'll blame this old guy for being too cunning!"
After a moment, I couldn't help but separate, and I directly removed the talisman from that Taoist priest Ma.
I said loudly to those who had bought his amulets and were eyeing him covetously, "Now the truth has been revealed. It also proves that what I said just now was not a lie. In this case, this fake ghost-catching Taoist priest is now in your hands."
After that, Yuquan and I stepped aside.
After all, those who bought the amulets had paid for them. How could they agree to lose money? Moreover, some people bought three or four amulets at once.
After a while, amid the noise of the crowd, the Taoist priest Ma was beaten up first. After Ma Chun was beaten black and blue, those who suffered the loss held his arms and took him to the management office of the ghost market.
There are many rules in the ghost market.
One of the rules is that you cannot cheat people of their money by pretending to be a ghost in the ghost market. Of course, if the buyer and seller are willing, the ghost market will not care even if they are cheated. The key is that the horse road has been exposed by me.
As for me, I no longer cared about those people.
I took the little monk Yuquan to the stall of the middle-aged man who was selling things just now.
The middle-aged man also saw what happened just now.
When he saw me and the little monk coming to his stall, a look of nervousness appeared on his face.
"Um, little brother... No, Master! Do you need anything? If I..."
I casually picked up a few things from his stall, took a look, and then put them down.
Then, I lowered my voice and said to the middle-aged man, "Brother, I want to make a deal with you."
When the middle-aged man heard that I wanted to make a deal with him, his face changed and he looked embarrassed.
He asked me anxiously, "Master, I am just a small vendor selling ghost-catching equipment and talismans. I have not offended you. Please forgive me. Although I know that many of the things on my stall cannot drive away ghosts, it is not easy for me to do this small business. I also want to support my family."
It seems that the middle-aged man was frightened by what I had just revealed about Taoist Master Ma.
I smiled and said, "Brother, I have no ill intentions. I just want to help you draw a few real ghost-exorcising talismans, and then exchange some things from you... Of course, you will definitely get a lot of benefits."
The middle-aged man still didn't understand what I meant.
I didn't explain much. I raised my hand and pointed at the fragment of the divine picture on the empty basket next to the middle-aged man, and said to him, "How about this, big brother, I will draw ten ghost-exorcising talismans for you, and you can give me the rag on the basket?"
