Chapter 55. The magic stick also needs packaging
The New Year is approaching.
In the next few days, as people spread it all over the world, Liu Wenyang and Liu Xiaoshenxiang watched the yin and yang and changed Feng Shui for his new home, and even burned the big locust tree and subdued the five-flowered python, spreading wildly in Taohua Town.
Those onlookers who have experienced this incident have portrayed the whole story vividly and vividly.
At the beginning, the story could still maintain the original flavor of the original incident and have a certain degree of authenticity. It was about how Liu Wenyang changed the Feng Shui for his new house. Then he saw that there was something wrong with the big locust tree, which was the place where evil spirits gathered, so he ordered firewood to burn the big locust tree. Unexpectedly, a five-colored python as thick as a bowl was burned from the hole of the big locust tree. The python did not dare to bite people, but fought with the little Liu Shen for a while, and was frightened by the onlookers, and finally captured by the big guy and became a prisoner.
This version is the original version, which basically tells the whole process of the incident. However, as a folk story, it lacks mythology and legend, and even less character and heroes.
So, the people of Taohua Town, who had nothing to do during the day and could only sleep with their wives at night, began to tell this story according to their own opinions.
In the same story, you pass on me and I pass on you. From the time you pass on to a hundred, you will inevitably be reprocessed by the great working people.
The waist and length of the five-flowered python were lengthened and increased, from one zhang to three zhang, from the mouth of the bowl to the size of a bucket, and its attack ability also changed from "scared to retract" and to "extremely evil". Then the martial power value of the Xiaoliu Divine Eye soared from "zero to ten" to "one hundred and one".
So, such an upgraded version appeared in the story----
Speaking of which, Xiao Liu Shenxiang changed Feng Shui to his new house. He never thought that when he burned the big locust tree, he would burn a python spirit as thick as a bucket. The python spirit was extremely vicious. He would bite him when he chased him, swallow him when he caught him, and ate ten living people in one breath, but he had not filled his stomach.
Just as it was about to continue to swallow the living person, Xiao Liu Shenxiang no longer cared about being compassionate and no longer hid the secret of being a master. He held a peach wood sword and started a fight with the python spirit.
But when Xiao Liu Shenxiang shouted loudly, "So, where can I go!" He used a move to "the immortal guide the way", and stabbed the python spirit with a sword. The python spirit shook its tail and shook its body, avoiding the sharp sword.
Then Xiao Liu Shenxiang continued to show his power and used moves such as "Swords to the South of the Sky" and "Shadling the Scene of the Sha" to the Sword and the Sword are seven inches away from the python spirit, and the sword is not far from the head of the python spirit.
In the end, the python spirit could not resist Xiao Liu's superb swordsmanship, so he had to hide back into the tree hole and wait for an opportunity to pounce.
However, the extremely wise little Liu Divine Figure did not give it a chance to counterattack. It gathered its strength and directly used a move of "bombing both jade and stones", slashing the big locust tree with one sword, frightening the python spirit hiding in the tree hole and running out and knelt down and begging for mercy...
The wonderful thing about this version is that the creator cleverly combines the story of the Little Liu God subduing the python with the swordsman novels in tea shops in the early Ming Dynasty, and integrates them, creating the Ming Dynasty martial arts version of "Little Liu God subduing the giant python".
There is no doubt that this version is lively, has a strong storyline, and the martial arts scenes are unique, attracting many people to follow and spread, so that this legend can be heard in many teahouse shops and streets.
But this is not the final version.
This is the final version
Speaking of Xiao Liu Shenxiang, he watched Fengshui Zhenyangzhai, holding a peach wood sword in his hand, stepping on the seven-star step, and using the 9981-turn golden light array that drove away demons and killed demons. From the old locust tree that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and became a spirit, he forced a python demon with horns on his head. The snake demon had its head as big as a bucket and was a hundred feet long. He was about to ascend to the dragon for thousands of years of cultivation, but he didn't want to be destroyed by Xiao Liu Shenxiang.
So, the snake demon flew over in the air, and the little willow god rode on its back and launched a great battle.
I saw the snake demon riding in the black clouds and spitting black fog, trying to kill his enemy. But Xiao Liu Shenxiang is not an ordinary person, but when he saw him take something out of his arms, smashing it at the snake demon, and saying, "Zhaofabao!"
Then a golden light flashed. The snake demon had already been trapped. Before he could see clearly what treasure it was, he had already been brought into his arms by the little Liu Shenxiang... Since then, this giant python that was about to turn into a divine dragon has become a general who was in charge of the Liu family. He was doing his duty and was so scared that the mouse did not dare to steal from the Liu family.
This version is called "Little Willow God Descends the Divine Dragon". The wonderful thing is that it directly upgrades the five-colored python from a simple snake spirit to a divine dragon that has been practicing for thousands of years; and the official Liu has lived up to expectations and has transformed from a single martial arts master into a Taoist immortal with endless magic power. The martial arts value directly becomes a magic value, and the magic weapon protects the body and is not invaded by all poisons.
...
In short, this incident was spread out in an abundance, and the more it spread, it became more and more evil, and it was directly linked to superstitious thoughts. All the gods and ghosts emerged.
If these rumors were put into later generations, no one would pay attention to them or take them seriously. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the people's ideological awareness was not high and there was nothing to entertain in normal times. They just rely on their words to spread evil things to waste their time.
Therefore, these strange versions spread directly from Taohua Town, and to the surrounding areas, Sishui Town, Wanlong Town, and the neighboring villages, they were all talking about this matter, and even the county towns in the distance gradually had various story versions.
It can be said that by chance, Xiao Liu Shenxiang transformed from a simple fortune teller and a fool's charlatan to a master who saved the people of Taohua Town from water and fire.
The pitiful python who was timid and afraid of things and finally sold himself as a slave was also mythized into a generation of dragons. Now it is even more vivid, helping people pray for blessings and mass.
...
Nowadays, with Liu Wen’s reputation and outstanding reputation, the new house he moved into is even more refreshing.
The red lacquer door was renovated, with a wide plaque on it with the words "Liu Shen Xiang Mansion".
The two originally broken stone lions were also replaced, and they were replaced by a pair of brand new and majestic jade qilins. According to the words of my father Liu Da, the jade qilin is better than the stone lion, which means that the qilin will give birth to children and spread out its branches and leaves. It seems that after the old man solved the problem of food and clothing, he began to think about holding his grandson.
As for the original big locust tree that had long been burnt out, out of respect for the foolish python and shameless personal publicity for himself, Liu Xiaoshenxiang thoughtfully erected a stone tablet on the spot, corresponding to the "Taishan Stone Dandang" on the left. As for the new stone tablet, there were five big words "Divine Star of the Dragon and Willow" written on the iron and silver hook, which made it a pair of them: Dashan Stone Dandang, the Divine Star of the Dragon and Willow. Behind the stone tablet, Liu Shenxiang even paid for money to ask someone to engrave his great achievements of "burning the locust tree and falling into a giant python". The pictures and texts were lush. Liu Daguan riding on the python was invincible and full of energy, and there was no suspicion of having urinated the crotch.
After moving and having a huge house, the first thing I visited was not the neighbors in Xindu, but the eloquent matchmaker.
This matchmaker's surname is Wang, and her name is Wang's mother. She can speak the movies of the word, and can describe the dead as a living, and live like a flower. Therefore, she is famous far and wide, and is known as a match that she cannot make up for.
The matchmaker Wang had already inquired about it. The new "rich family" named Liu. Her son is young and handsome, and has a good skill in fortune-telling and fortune-telling. So he came to the door and found his father Liu Da and said he wanted to tell Liu Wenyang a marriage.
At first, Liu Da was happy and thought it was a great joy. If his son married a wife, he could give up his worries and wait to burn Gaoxiang to hold his grandson in the future.
But the girls mentioned by matchmaker Wang are either the daughter of the witch, the daughter of the coffin shop, or the lady of the pork shop, or the girl of the beef soup shop. In the words of matchmaker Wang, "This is called a 'family match'!"
"To you!" Dad Liu Da immediately drove the matchmaker out. In his opinion, although his son is a charlatan, he can be a scholar, a scholar, and a wise man. How can he marry those poor families?
Matchmaker Wang didn't expect that she would be kind enough to match the matchmaker. She was driven out of the butt before it was warm, and the old man didn't know how to polite it. So when he was kicked out of the Liu family, he pointed to the old man's nose and said, "With your family like this, why do you still expect your son to marry a daughter? I think you can let him be a bachelor for the rest of his life!"
Liu Da picked up the broom directly, and the matchmaker Wang ran away and ran faster than a rabbit...
It can be said that "The Matchmaker Says Kiss" is the first episode after the Liu family moved, and it is also the Liu family's housework.
Now that we have handled these housework, we should put the fortune telling career on the agenda.
Originally, my father was still wondering whether to accept the invitation from the Chenghuang Temple and go to the Chenghuang face to tell fortunes, instead of the iron mouth, and become a big-name charlatan there.
But in Liu Wenyang's opinion, why bother to look far and far? It is better to open a "viewing room" at home and open the door to do business. In this way, manpower, material resources and foot strength will be saved.
My father Liu Da was still a little suspicious, afraid that the place would be too remote and no one would come.
Liu Wenyang didn't care. As a superior time traveler, he knew the effect of advertising, so he spent a lot of money and hired fifty painters with high salary. He drew more than 3,000 self-portraits of himself in one go, almost exhausting those painters---
Of course, in order to maintain your handsome and extraordinary personal image, when inspecting the goods, all those who vilify themselves slightly will be knocked out! As for those who deliberately beautify themselves,... reward! Rewards! After rewarding, you will also give a harsh warning: you must draw like this in the future!
With paintings, there must be words, which are advertising slogans. In order to distinguish them from other low-level unscrupulous talismans, Xiao Liu Shenxiang's advertising slogan is as follows: Instruct the mysterious Liu Shenxiang, and fortune telling and observing the appearance!
In the painting, the "beautiful" young master Liu smiled and raised his thumbs up with a graceful smile-----
Of course, such outstanding advertisements must be distinguished from those wanted notices for catching thieves and arresting thieves who are not in the ordinary, and they cannot be posted randomly like those things. Instead, they should selectively find densely populated places and use a very special way to post them.
But, three or four men with loud voices took the painting and posted it in unison: "There are stalks between heaven and earth, and that is the common people. Who is the most powerful in fortune-telling? Yiya Yiya You, you no longer need to inquire about what is black, what is bright, what is good, what is bad, what is yin and yang calculation can be used to judge the common people, Yiya Yiya..."
It can be said that Liu Xiaoshenxiang’s self-promotion is fully displayed in this song, and his shameless behavior is enough to make many charlatan seniors extremely ashamed!
