Chapter 90: Insults to morals; Rumors about the Western Xia Kingdom [Subscription Request]

"Fifty cents?!"

"This fat guy is so evil!"

The words fell.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu couldn't help but smack his lips in surprise.

At this moment, Xiaolan also frowned slightly.

It seems that they don’t understand why it is so expensive to go on stage and touch the centaur with their own hands?
"Twenty cents is just for the sight, but if you want to touch it you have to pay extra. This is a really tricky scheme. If they provide other services..."

Lin Xuan suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

I thought to myself that city people know how to have fun.

It is not easy for ordinary people to pay fifty cents.

But for those wealthy families, especially some rich people, this is just a drizzle.

present.

As the round-faced fat man finished speaking.

The audience below rushed to take out their money, saying that they wanted to go on stage to verify its authenticity.

The result was just as Lin Xuan had expected. Everyone's target was the centaur woman.

And the places where people touched and pulled were even more shocking!
Especially Xiaolan, when she saw certain scenes, she had to blush and turn her back.

"It's really a lot of fun..."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel resentful about this.

Xiaolong originally wanted to go on stage to verify its authenticity and see whether it was scientific or not?

But when he saw this scene, he hesitated.

He came from a prominent family, his family had been scholars for generations, and he was well-read, so he was naturally a gentleman.

"Brother, how about we go out?"

When some people came up to the stage and touched her, the people below the stage seemed to be greatly stimulated when they saw it.

People kept shouting in vulgar tones, mixed with a lot of dirty words.

Xiaolan couldn't stand this atmosphere and felt very uncomfortable. She whispered:

"Brother, why don't we go out? We don't want to watch this circus anymore..."

"Let's go, it's really vulgar."

Lin Xuan sighed softly.

Anyway, he could almost conclude that no matter the centaur in front of him or the human body and bird head that would appear next, they were probably not magic tricks.

Most likely it was done by a wizard.

There must be the shadow of the Black Fox King behind this.

He should go back to the temple immediately and tell Abbot Sanzang and Master Gongjin and the others!
Seeing that her senior brother agreed without hesitation, Xiaolan turned her head and looked at Xiaolong and Xiaohu.

In this regard, Xiaolong and Xiaohu also felt that the circus was too explicit and immoral, and their faces were filled with disgust.

They nodded in unison.

Ever since.

Lin Xuan and the other three secretly left their seats and slipped away.

There were some children on the stage who were brought by their parents to watch the fun and see the world, but the scene now was somewhat unsightly.

Anyone with a little conscience or sense of shame would take their children and leave immediately.

Of course, some people just cover their children’s eyes and watch with great interest themselves.

……

……

Lin Xuan and three others left the circus stage.

Xiaolong couldn't help but criticize:
"I never thought that the circus was so immoral and disgusting!"

"I shouldn't have brought everyone to see it!"

He felt a little guilty again.

But after he finished speaking, no one responded.

Xiaohu has a simple and honest personality, so he is a bit shy.

When he saw those scenes in it just now, his face turned red.

Even now that he has come out, he is still blushing.

It's naturally impossible to answer the call.

What about Xiaolan?
She is somewhat similar to Xiaohu, with angry eyes, although she also can't stand it.

But as a girl, she was still embarrassed to speak to everyone.

He could only reveal an expression of indignation.

Among the four, only Lin Xuan looked normal.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Xiaolong could only bite the bullet and asked Lin Xuan:

"By the way, did you see anything just now, Senior Brother?"

Lin Xuan said seriously:
"Centaurs aren't fake."

Hearing this, Xiaolong's face changed, and he lost his previous embarrassment. He was stunned and said:

"Not fake?"

"Is it still true?!"

"This... is too incredible?"

"It's a little unbelievable, but I think the blood and qi of the centaur are connected."

Hearing this, Xiaolan murmured in confusion:

"How could this happen?"

"Shouldn't it be a trick?"

at this time.

Xiaohu suddenly said to Lin Xuan seriously:
"Brother, I think we should tell Abbot Sanzang and Elder Xuanfeng about this."

"The fat guy on the stage just now was clearly the former innkeeper of Yunlai Inn!"

"He has been colluding with the Black Fox Gang for a long time. He must have bad intentions when he came back this time."

Lin Xuan nodded:

"Xiao Hu is right, we should go back to the temple as soon as possible."

"Let's set off now without further delay!" Xiaolan said.

……

...half an hour later.

Lin Xuan and three others returned to the temple.

After dropping off the things he bought for his parents in the dormitory, Lin Xuan went to the abbot's courtyard with Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan.

But when we arrived at the abbot's residence.

After looking around, I didn't see Abbot Sanzang.

After asking other fellow disciples, I learned that Abbot Sanzang was accompanying several important pilgrims.

I probably won't have time to see them in the short term.

With no other choice, Lin Xuan and the other three had to go to Damo Academy to find Uncle Gongjin.

"You four are back so soon?"

In the Dharma Courtyard.

Gong Jin, who had shaved his head and trimmed his beard, was practicing sword. When he saw Lin Xuan and the other three come in, he was slightly surprised, then smiled and said.

He thought that these children would not return to the temple until after dark.

"Uncle Jing, we disciples have something to tell you."

Lin Xuan and three others stepped forward and reported.

"What's the matter?"

Gongjin sensed something was wrong from the expressions of the four people.

Lin Xuan said:

"The fact that a monster hurts someone is very serious. The story of the sphinx must be true!"

The words fell.

Gong Jin's face changed, and he felt his mind was shocked. He cried out:
"What? It's true!"

"Did you see the monster yourself?"

"I guess so." Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said.

"Really?"

Gongjin frowned.

I don't quite understand what Lin Xuan said.

What does it mean to count?
Lin Xuan paused, feeling that his wording was inappropriate and made Master Gongjin a little confused.

So he reorganized his words and explained:

"Uncle Gongjin, this is what happened..."

At that moment, Lin Xuan first explained the situation of their investigation in Tanggou Village, and then talked about the circus at the temple fair.

In the middle, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan also added a few sentences.

"Oh, you mean those centaurs in the circus are real?"

Gongjin grasped the key point and asked while looking directly at Lin Xuan.

The tone became more serious.

Lin Xuan affirmed: "It is true. The blood and qi of those centaurs are connected, and their pulses are consistent. It should not be wrong."

"By the way, the owner of the circus troupe is the shopkeeper who hosted Master Uncle at the Yunlai Inn before."

"So, the Black Fox King is behind the circus!"

Gongjin was stunned and slightly surprised.

The circus is right at the foot of Shaolin Mountain!
It is very close to Shaolin Temple.

Unexpectedly, the Black Fox King had unknowingly extended his hand here!

It’s no wonder.

People come from all directions to the temple fair to enjoy the fun, so it is hard not to have a mix of good and bad people.

Lin Xuan was not in a position to ask Master Gongjin about the matter of wizards, so he had to ask indirectly:
"Uncle Master, you have been out there for many years and have a lot of experience. Do you know if there is any way in this world that can turn a person into a centaur or a sphinx?"

"Except for those who can perform magic tricks and street performers, Uncle Master really doesn't know anything."

Gongjin shook his head.

"Is there any unorthodox method?"

Lin Xuan asked again.

"Unconventional methods?"

He bowed his head in thought.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something, and spoke mysteriously to Lin Xuan and the other three:
"Back then, I went to Xixia and occasionally heard the locals talk about a man called a wizard who could turn disobedient children into frogs. One of his followers once saw him turn into a donkey at night."

When Xiaolong heard what Uncle Gongjin said, he immediately thought it was too ridiculous.

But today, he saw a centaur with his own eyes at the circus.

The science he always emphasizes is nothing in the face of facts!
So, when he came back, he was quite devastated and looked unhappy.

"Has Master Uncle ever seen a wizard?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's heart moved slightly. He really wanted to know more about wizards.

"Master has not seen it, but many people in Xixia have seen it." He said respectfully.

Lin Xuan was somewhat disappointed with this.

He also thought that his uncle would have looked for those wizards in order to find the second volume of the Book of Power.

After he finished speaking respectfully, he quickly understood what Lin Xuan was thinking and immediately asked him:

"Why do you suspect that the sphinxes and centaurs were created by wizards?"

"It's possible!" Lin Xuan nodded.

Soon, he came up with a plan and discussed it with Gong Jin:
"Uncle, I want to visit the circus tonight."

As soon as the proposal was made, Gong Jin rejected it directly:
"no!"

"If there really is a wizard behind this, you must not act rashly. I have never seen the wizard's methods, but I know they are powerful and cannot be compared with the martial arts of the Central Plains."

"If you try to find out about this with your current strength, you will undoubtedly be walking into a tiger's mouth!"

"We should consider this matter in the long run..."

As if he understood Lin Xuan's character, he relaxed again:
"If you really want to investigate, why don't you stay overnight in Tanggou Village tonight and see if the Sphinx will come again?"

"Uncle Master, please don't underestimate me. Although my cultivation is still at the Qi Yuan Realm, but..."

The words fell.

Lin Xuan gathered all the internal energy in his body, flipped over and leaped into the air. In an instant he soared more than ten feet into the air and landed directly on the roof of the Dharma Courtyard!
"Nine Figures and Six Sittings Completed?!"
