I am a living immortal.

Chapter 284 Not Like a Human

The temple fair was in full swing, and the entire street leading to the Shengjun Temple in the town was filled with stalls, some of which were existing shops, and some were small stalls that had been set up yesterday.

The stall consists of a few wooden boards and a cart. It stretches as far as the eye can see, with steam rising and the aroma filling the air.

The whole town was packed with people, and people from Jiading Prefecture were rushing into the town as if they were going to burst it.

There are many people who come to burn incense and pray, and to join in the fun. The main reason is that there are not many entertainment options in this era, and they all come here to take a break from their busy schedule.

They can also eat delicious food. Just like the Chinese New Year and the autumn harvest, parents will basically not refuse whatever they want to eat today. This makes many children look forward to this day.

I have been begging my parents to come over for a long time.

Looking at the people filling the streets, children were playing wildly in groups, and the joy of birthday was on everyone's face.

Of course, for these children, they don’t understand what the Holy King’s Birthday is. In their eyes, the most important things are food and the performances.

Foods that are rarely seen in Jiading Prefecture are everywhere here. However, not everyone is qualified to set up a stall in the temple fair. These are carefully selected, reasonably priced and delicious. The most taboo thing in such a festival is crying.

All aspects are taken into consideration, after all, it only happens once a year.

Many things are even specially customized, such as the patterns on some porcelain, some calligraphy and paintings, sachets to drive away the five poisons, peach wood hexagrams, pendants and tassels, as well as sugar paintings that children like, cakes, malt sugar with roselle condensed in it, etc.

Su Mu hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time. This reminded him of the scene in the scenic area in his previous life. He was accustomed to it, but for the people here, such a grand event only happened once or twice a year.

Su Mu has also visited temple fairs, but there are generally more Buddhist temple fairs, so the difference is not much.

The two men squeezed in the crowd and looked around. Mirage Dragon was also very curious about this. He was curious about the outside world. Before, he stayed in the barren desert to entertain himself.

After coming out, he discovered that there were many little things he had never seen or eaten before. Although the taste could not be compared with that of their era, it was definitely not bad. The diversity and richness of the food were beyond the comprehension of the innate gods.

Humans are incredibly innovative when it comes to eating.

If you really don't want to spend money but want to eat something, you can also go to the front of Shengjun Temple. There are several stalls there giving out free porridge. Anyone can have a bowl. The porridge is also generous with the ingredients. In fact, it is similar to Laba porridge, with rice, millet, coix seed, lotus seeds, candied dates, peanuts, longan and other ingredients.

Using candied dates instead of red dates makes the porridge sweeter, but the price is also high. Many people will drink a bowl even if they are not hungry.

At this moment, a cheer was suddenly heard from the front. Many children heard the news and squeezed through the crowd to take a look. Then they bumped into Su Mu. They hurriedly apologized and squeezed forward. The crowd in front made way for her.

Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

It was originally a three-meter-tall bamboo-bone statue of the Holy Lord.

This idol has internal mechanisms, its eyes can move and it can spit out smoke from its mouth. What's more amazing is that its feet are equipped with wooden wheels, and it can actually take the Yu step to the beat of the drum. The image of the holy monarch is lifelike, and he looks more heroic and solemn in his civil and military robes. As he takes a step, his wide sleeves suddenly shake, and peanuts and longans are scattered all over the sky, attracting the naughty children to laugh and scramble for them.

It was quite lively, and Su Mu also caught a few pills.

Such performances can be found everywhere in this town. Most of them are invited by the town's wealthy owners to perform, and a small number of them come to ask for tips. It is said that there is a special troupe performing "The Legend of the Holy King Conquering the Demons". The troupe invited is different every year. Although the story is familiar, the performance style, performance segments, and the understanding of different troupes can all be refreshing. They can always perform something new, both the same and different.

This is also a part that many people look forward to.

Someone had stuffed a handful of pumpkin seeds into the mirage dragon's mouth at some point, and it was looking around with great interest while eating the pumpkin seeds.

The old goat didn't like this scene and ran to some mountain to eat grass.

Su Mu and Shenlong were separated by the crowd, so they started strolling alone. After walking a few steps, they actually saw a fortune teller. I don’t know if it was because of his great skills and courage, or what.

However, looking at the other party's appearance and the satisfied expression of the fortune teller, one knows that even if he has no skills, he should be able to speak well. Fortune telling at this time will definitely be auspicious, so many people are still willing to spend a few cents to hear a compliment.

So there were a lot of people surrounding the stall, and a lot of people coming to have their fortunes told.

"Master, what do you think of my child?"

The fortune teller took one look, swiped his fingertips across the child's palm, and spoke: "Young Master, your Sichuan-shaped lines are very unusual. The sky lines penetrate the moon and the earth lines connect to Wenchang. This is a sign of intelligence. You will definitely be outstanding in the future."

After hearing these words, the old man with the child laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. He happily handed the money to the fortune teller and left with the child.

Seeing this, another young man came up and asked about marriage.

The fortune teller took another look and scattered a handful of grass stems to form a hexagram. He then said, "Young Master, please see that this spider web is perfectly positioned on the third line. This is the auspicious sign of 'wild geese flying, their feathers rustling'. Young Master will surely find a loyal and loving marriage."

Another person happily paid and left.

Anyway, it's all about fortune-telling about family harmony and prosperity, health, and a bright future and wealth. It can even speak to the fortune-teller's heart, and he will still smile when paying.

Su Mu watched one person after another leave with a smile on their face. It was hilarious. With their eloquence, they could make a fortune even without fortune-telling. Didn't these people know what they were like, or what level their children were at? But this person just loved to hear good things. Considering these few cents a blessing, it was worth it.

As Su Mu was listening, she saw another strong man walking forward. The moment she saw this strong man, a look of surprise flashed across Su Mu's face. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

The man asked with a smile: "I want to calculate my future prospects."

The fortune teller stroked his green beard. Yes, the fortune teller was very young. He took a look at the face of the man dressed ostentatiously and frowned. The young fortune teller didn't believe it and took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and threw them down.

The copper coins were spinning around on the table.

However, after throwing the ball a few more times in the same way, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. This man didn't look like a human at all...
