Chapter 202 Shadowmoon Villa

A spectator asked: "Old man, where does your rope lead?"

The old man hissed and said: "Everyone, please speak in a low voice, so as not to disturb the heavenly beings. This rope reaches the sky, and it will naturally go up to the sky."

Although the onlookers were surprised, they still had a bit of disbelief: "You said it's heaven? How can you prove it?"

The old man then said: "There are thirty-three towers in the sky. The one connected by my rope is the first sky. There are many rare treasures in this sky. If you don't believe it, you can ask my grandson to go up and get it with you." Some fresh fruits are coming down. But the risk of this trip is huge. If you want fresh fruits, you can sell one fruit for a hundred taels. Who wants to do that?"

Half of the spectators immediately dispersed.

"If you sell one fruit for a hundred taels, you old man must be going crazy because of poverty, right?"

"You dare to be so greedy in this charade. As I expected, there's nothing to see. It's over."

The old man didn't want any guests, he could afford the money, and he was so curious, so of course he hadn't left yet.

And those who left were not guests in his heart. Even if they stayed, it would be useless.

At this time, he glanced towards the sky: "My spell only lasts for a cup of tea. If the time is up, it will be ineffective. Dear spectators, if you want fresh fruits from the sky, please hurry up."

After all, in the capital city, there are still many rich people.

Two brocade men took out the banknotes at this time and said, "Go and get it. If you can really pick fresh fruits from the sky, you can get a hundred taels from one fruit."

The old man took the banknote, smiled and gestured to his grandson.

The brocade man said with a straight face: "But the ugly thing is ahead. If you can't get it, I will destroy your stall. Don't let me see you in this capital again."

“As a spectator, don’t worry.”

The grandson of the old man is only eight or nine years old. He is thin and small, but his hands and feet are slender and nimble.

At the old man's signal, he picked up the basket, jumped up, grabbed the rope, and climbed up to the sky quickly.

Jiangling looked at each other, and the rope towered into the clouds, at least a thousand feet upward.

The old man was able to throw the rope so high by raising his hand, which was indeed a bit of a trick.

Moreover, this child's rope-climbing movements are even more agile than that of a monkey. In just a few breaths, he has climbed into the air and is close to the clouds.

Looking at him at this time, he seemed to be struggling.

He rested on the rope for a while, climbed up again, and then disappeared into the clouds.

The spectators on the ground finally screamed in surprise.

"Gone?"

"The child really disappeared. He... really climbed to the sky?"

After a while,

Fruit fell from the sky.

The old man unfolded his robe and carried it underneath.

Two green dates fell out, they were really big and fresh.

The onlookers shouted again: "It's a jujube, a big jujube. This fruit is really fresh from the sky. Even the nobles in the palace cannot eat it as good as this."

"If you eat this, will you live forever?"

But the old man quickly raised his finger and booed, telling the spectators not to speak loudly for fear of frightening the gods.

The onlookers laughed and said, "The sky is so far away from the earth, so why say a few words? It would be strange if people in heaven could hear it."

While everyone was talking and laughing, in the clouds in the sky, the child exposed his legs and was about to return.

But as soon as his lower body climbed down, he suddenly screamed, and his body seemed to be grabbed by something, and he was forcefully dragged into the clouds.

Then, the rope that reached the sky was broken and fell down.

The old man on the ground trembled when he saw it, and shouted out, "Xiao De!"

I shouted and no one answered,

In the end, only a piece of clothing fell from the clouds, stained with blood.

The old man picked up the clothes and burst into tears, saying that his grandson had been caught by heavenly beings and he was afraid he would be gone.

All the spectators fell silent immediately,

He looked at the sky and then at the old man, feeling in awe. Fearing that he would be punished by heaven and man, he hurriedly dispersed.

The two men in brocade clothes took the dates from the old man and ran away in a hurry.

The old man cried for a while, wiped away his tears, picked up the box alone, and left the downtown area.

Jiang Ling only watched from a distance, witnessing the whole process, shocked and surprised.

Only then did some clues emerge.

'What a great way to cover your eyes!'

Seeing the old man walking along the willow lane to the river, Jiang Ling followed lightly and followed him to the river.

In the shade of a tree, the old man put down the box and unlocked it. Suddenly he smiled and saw his grandson getting out of the box.

"Grandpa, am I good at acting?"

"Xiao De is the best."

The old man touched his grandson's head and sighed suddenly, "But in the end, I deceived most people, but I didn't deceive the young man. The young man followed me all the way, but do you have any advice?"

It turned out that the old man had already discovered Jiangling and followed him.

But even so, he didn't shy away from anything.

It can be seen that he is either very capable or he has determined that Jiang Ling has no malicious intentions.

"I'm not talking about giving advice. I'm just out of curiosity. I want to know how the old gentleman covers people's eyes."

If Jiang Ling hadn't had good senses and noticed that the child's anger had never disappeared, then he would have been deceived by sight like ordinary spectators.

The old man smiled faintly: "It's a small trick, I told you, but I'm afraid it will irritate my ears, so I might as well not tell you."

After all, it’s all about eating, how can you just say what you want to hear?

Jiang Ling said: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know what this hall is called, not the magic itself."

The old man's smile suddenly faded, he stretched out his hand, shot a wave of waves into the river, and flew towards Jiangling.

When the waves first rise, they are only as big as a splashing water, but when they reach the air, they suddenly multiply several times.

When it flies to the top of Jiangling's head, it will be poured down.

Jiang Ling looked up, smiled softly, swung his sleeves, and the waves dispersed on the spot, turning into mist and rising above the river.

When the old man saw this, he understood in his heart: "We are from the same sect. Since we are of the same sect, we won't hide anything from each other. This method of old man is the [Nightmare Prayer Technique] of Shadow Moon Villa."

This sentence not only mentioned the name of the illusion, but also reported his own origin.

Most of them didn't know the depth of Jiangling, let alone whether they were enemies or friends, so they announced their family status so that the other party would be afraid.

‘Shadow Moon Villa?’

Jiang Ling still has an impression of this name. He was one of the nine major forces in the Yaotai Conference and accepted many newcomers.

"Since you are a cultivator, why would you use such tricks to get money?" Jiang Ling asked.

People who practice Taoism will get money very quickly, but if they follow the wrong path, they will get money even faster.

But the old man smiled and said: "To cultivate the Tao, cultivate the Tao first and then the Tao. Cultivating the Tao is not only cultivating the Tao, but also cultivating people. When it comes to human cultivation, it is difficult to satisfy six desires and difficult to kill three corpses. You should return to the world and practice it."

Jiang Ling nodded upon hearing this. He had the same idea as him. Only by experiencing various experiences in the world can his state of mind improve.

The old man would rather play tricks than take anything by force. The way he followed was considered the right way.

After hearing this, he bowed to the old man and retreated along the same route.

The old man felt at ease when he saw that he had no ill intentions.

At this time, on the river, in the distance, there was a flower boat,

Amidst the quarrel, a woman suddenly jumped out of the second-floor window and threw herself into the water, causing thousands of splashes.
