Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

There was a large, eerie atmosphere over there, as if dark clouds were rolling down from the horizon. There was a lot of banging and knocking, and it looked like an old servant was leading the way, with children playing around. Four strong men were carrying a carriage, and an old woman with a hunched back was sitting on it.

It was foggy and hazy, making it look very unreal, but when you got close to it, it looked just like a real person.

If an ordinary person looked closely, they would see these people. Their walking posture was strange, as if they couldn't walk properly. After walking for a while, they would think of getting on all fours. Not to mention the tail that would occasionally show behind them.

……

……

"Could we hire this person?!"

The old master stared wide-eyed, his face full of doubt. He had set up such a large stage and made such a big fuss about it, while the curtains that the immortals liked were all set up in a very formal and meticulous manner.

He didn't believe that Li Feng's return would enable him to summon the spirits behind him. However, the girl beside this man seemed to have some talent for spirit mediumship.

But as he was thinking about it, he saw the smoke swirling in the street, and soon after, some people came over with banging and clanging. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the monkey had already been silenced by the gongs and drums in its hands.

The old master's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched a group of strongmen carrying a palanquin approaching from afar, accompanied by some old servants and children.

Upon arriving, they were taken off the hearse, where a hunched old woman lay. She took a puff of her pipe, her wrinkled face crinkling into a smile. "Oh dear, oh dear," she murmured, "I've finally arrived in a new place, seeing the world! Someone's remembered, even going to put on a grand opera for me!"

They actually managed to get them here?!

The old master was not the only one who was shocked; Hong Xiang'er and Lu Junyi were also in shock.

I didn't see what methods Li Feng used along the way, how he managed to invite a deity so easily.

This was quite a show; they were carried in a palanquin. Hongxiang knew that the shamans in this area were all well-known, and this one looked like the skilled Grandma Hu.

Looking at the age of this cart, even seasoned experts would be envious of this old object. It was a treasured item that Grandma Hu had brought for herself.

Lu Junyi couldn't help but swallow hard, glancing at Hong Xiang'er beside him with a rather strange look in his eyes.

"Come on, master, now that the audience is here, we should get to the exciting part. For the first scene, who do you think should step forward?"

Li Feng first bowed to Grandma Hu in the stands, then stood up and said something to the old master on the other side.

The experienced craftsman raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat caught in a dilemma. This young boy seemed quite capable, but given the circumstances, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll fire this shot!"

Hearing this, Li Feng nodded, and Lu Junyi and Hong Xiang'er both felt relieved, thinking that it would be a close contest and they wouldn't expect the two of them to play.

"Come on, Brother Lu, this tough nut is yours to crack!"

Li Feng suddenly turned to look at Lu Junyi, whose eyes widened in surprise. Lu Junyi instinctively pointed at himself, "Ah, me?!"

"Of course, Brother Lu, you must give us a good start! Don't let the onlookers down!"

After saying this, Li Feng patted Lu Junyi on the shoulder. Lu Junyi couldn't help but grin, and could only take a step forward, bowing respectfully to the old master. "Master, please show me your skills!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old master glared and pouted, his face full of resentment, but he had nothing to say, after all, this formation was set up by Li Feng.

The old master stepped forward, flipped his hand, and took out a lifelike demon from his pocket. The demon let out a loud roar that shook the heavens.

The old master also changed shape with the sound, and his white robe was stretched open to reveal a huge mountain demon with a blue face and fangs.

Good heavens, Lu Junyi was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. As the manager of the brothel, he couldn't be so timid. So he used all his skills to summon the monkey and the two of them worked together to fight the mountain demon.

Strangely enough, Lu Junyi and the monkey worked together seamlessly, specifically targeting the mandrill's lower body with extremely cunning moves, aiming to strike its vital points.

But this mandrill has thick skin and flesh, and is powerful and heavy. Every punch it throws is a real blow, without any falsehood, not to mention that its soft side is covered with a thick layer of fleshy armor.

The monkey's fighting skills were more like tickling, but precisely because of this, the mandrill couldn't do anything to Lu Junyi for the time being. It looked as if the man and the monkey were playing with each other, making it seem like Lu Junyi was being made a fool of.

He was furious, and the angrier he got, the more distorted his movements became, and for a moment he fell into a lower-level state.

Just as Lu Junyi was about to use his skill to defeat the mountain demon, the old master suddenly changed his approach and bowed to the demon.

In the blink of an eye, it shed its body like a cicada shedding its shell, and a half-grown mandrill emerged from it. Its agility and skill were beyond question, and it gained the upper hand in just a few moves.

After several exchanges, Lu Junyi's acrobatic skills lost their advantage, and the master pressed his advantage, delivering a powerful punch that sent both Lu Junyi and the monkey flying backward.

Lu Junyi coughed up blood on the spot and lay on the ground for a long while before struggling to get up. He then cupped his hands towards the old master and said, "Thank you for your help, old master!"

Lu Junyi could also tell that the master had shown mercy; otherwise, he would not be in this situation.

"You flatter me!"

Seeing that the old master had won a match, Hong Xiang'er and Lu Junyi both thought that it would be Li Feng's turn to take on the challenge himself.

The old master was thinking the same thing; how could he not gain the upper hand in two consecutive matches?

Moreover, there was an outsider present in this third match.

Unexpectedly, Li Feng lit a red incense stick, saying, "I'll do the job if you pay me. This is extra. How about it, go up and give me a shout-out?"

Hearing Li Feng's words, Hong Xiang'er was startled at first, but she nodded and took a step forward. She then saw the old master point out Jiang Liu'er to make a move.

Looking at Jiang Liuer, Hong Xiang'er was also holding her breath, wanting to vent her anger.

But when he saw Jiang Liuer's four ears perk up, he was stunned. "You are... the famous Jiang Liuer?!"

Jiang Liuer nodded. "Greetings!"

Hearing this, Hong Xiang'er couldn't help but swallow. This Jiang Liu'er was supposed to have the cultivation of four incense sticks, but now he looked like he only had four ears left.

This is troublesome...

Hong Xiang'er couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
