Chapter 226: Wrestling! (Part 2)
Seeing Ye Lingshuang chatting and laughing with that lowly servant, Li Anning was secretly annoyed. He winked at Long Cangzi, who said with a smile: "My friend, do you have any doubts about the Three Pure Ones? I advise you not to blaspheme the Three Pure Ones, otherwise you will be crushed to pieces by the thunderbolt!"
This is a very serious statement, almost pointing at someone and cursing. But he is a Taoist priest with boundless magical powers. If he were an ordinary person, he would have to endure it even if he was angry! However, Jiang Chengfeng would not do that!
Jiang Chengfeng glared at Long Cangzi, then turned and whispered something to Ye Lingshuang. Ye Lingshuang was surprised and asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course it's a fun game! Hurry up and ask Xiaoxian to go to the tofu workshop and get some brine!"
Although Ye Lingshuang was confused, she still did as she was told. After Ye Lingshuang left, Jiang Chengfeng turned to look at Long Cangzi and said with a smile, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, were you calling me just now?"
Long Cangzi nodded and smiled.
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't planned to take action, but the fake Taoist priest came to him. Although he knew it was Li Anning's arrangement, he was not going to let the fake Taoist priest go.
"Master, you are joking! I have great respect for the Three Pure Ones! I also admire you, Master!"
Long Cangzi was very proud. He stroked his beard and smiled, his old eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Jiang Chengfeng pointed at the chopsticks standing up in the bowl and said with a smile: "Master, are the chopsticks in this bowl really the result of your magic power?"
"I have been practicing for seventy-seven and forty-nine years, but I have only learned the details of Lingbao Daozun. I am sorry to make you laugh!"
Jiang Chengfeng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Taoist priest has boundless magical powers. I admire him!"
After a pause, he continued, "I have also learned the magic of standing chopsticks in water for a cup of tea. Suddenly, I had an idea and wanted to show off in front of the Taoist priest. I wonder if the Taoist priest can give me some advice?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. This guy studied for a cup of tea and wanted to make a fool of himself? He really didn't know how to live or die! Shen Ruoyan was so anxious that her pretty face turned red. How could this dead man be so reckless?
Long Cangzi also showed disdain on his face. At this time, Ye Shengxian and Ye Lingshuang had already prepared what Jiang Chengfeng needed. Jiang Chengfeng also took out three square chopsticks, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, watch carefully!"
Everyone stretched their necks and saw Jiang Chengfeng imitating Long Cangzi's actions just now, chanting a spell that others could not understand while standing up the three wooden chopsticks.
The strange thing is that the three chopsticks actually stood upright in the bowl and did not fall down! Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Taoist priest Long Cangzi has practiced hard for forty-nine years, and you have only learned for a cup of tea, and you have the same skills as him? It's really amazing!
Madam Ye was very surprised and asked, "Young Master Jiang, where did you learn this magic? Why is it the same as the Taoist's?"
Although Madam Ye's words were unintentional, they still touched Long Cangzi's sore spot. His old face turned red and he snorted coldly: "Parrots imitate others—"
Jiang Chengfeng stared coldly at Taoist Long Cangzi and said with a smile: "Master, I actually haven't learned any magic. I just took advantage of it! I just don't know if my little trick can be accepted by you?"
Hearing this, Long Cangzi's already flushed face turned even redder, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Chengfeng grinned and said, "Master, I have learned your magic! However, I also have a small magic, I wonder if you can learn it?"
Long Cangzi secretly glanced at Li Anning, but when he saw the latter nod, he had to grit his teeth and said, "Okay! You tell me now!"
Although Long Cangzi was being covert, he could not hide it from Jiang Chengfeng who was always keeping an eye on him. This fake Taoist priest was indeed colluding with the little prince. He thought I was easy to bully. You just wait!
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Ye Shengxian who had been waiting on the side and laughed, "Everyone! Next, I'm going to show you a day in the line of fire!"
As soon as Jiang Chengfeng finished speaking, Ye Shengxian handed him a piece of cotton thread. He touched it carefully, and then handed it to everyone to check to confirm that it was genuine material.
Li Anning and Long Cangzi also came over to check it out. The cotton thread was a little wet, but the two didn't know what was wrong, so they didn't say anything.
Afterwards, Jiang Chengfeng took out another copper coin and threaded the copper coin with cotton thread. Then, Jiang Chengfeng asked Old Madam Ye to personally light the cotton thread tied to both ends of the small iron frame.
However, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. The cotton thread was obviously all ignited, but it did not break, because the copper coin was still hanging in the air.
Madam Ye's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, this... could this also be a magic technique?"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and touched his nose. Could it be that I, Old Jiang, am also a charlatan? Jiang Chengfeng smiled and said, "The reason! I will explain it to the old lady later! What I want to ask now is, Taoist Long Cangzi, do you dare to try this spell?"
Just as Jiang Chengfeng finished speaking, he saw Young Master Zhao happily taking a bundle of cotton thread and handing it to Long Cangzi with a smirk on his face.
Long Cangzi knew that Jiang Dazhu must have done something to the cotton thread, but he didn't know what exactly had happened.
After hesitating for a long time, Long Cangzi finally gave up and said through gritted teeth: "I have never learned this kind of immortal technique!"
"Master, you think too highly of me!" Jiang Chengfeng laughed, "What immortal arts can a person like me learn?"
Everyone smiled at him, thinking that he did not look like a monk, as he was dressed as a servant in black clothes and a black hat.
However, Jiang Dazhu's words made it very clear that this so-called magic must be some tricks in the martial arts world, but no one knew the reason behind it.
Seeing that everyone was eager to learn, Jiang Chengfeng briefly explained the principle.
The people present were all scholars and officials, and had never come into contact with such things as grinding tofu. Therefore, when they heard Jiang Chengfeng talking about brine, they were confused at first, but later they understood.
Ye Lingshuang suddenly realized what was going on, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that Xiaoxian dried the cotton thread soaked in brine, otherwise you would never be able to light it! However, when she thought that this guy had deceived everyone with such a trick, she couldn't help but smile.
Then, Jiang Chengfeng briefly explained to everyone the principle of standing chopsticks in water, and everyone suddenly understood.
Li Anning's face darkened when he heard this. He glared at Long Cangzi and said sternly, "Master, shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"
Long Cangzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
