Early the next morning.
Zhang Chu had just arrived at Furong Street when he saw some workers building a platform not far in front of his small shop.
The street was very wide, and even though the platform was set up in front of Zhang Chu’s small shop, it did not affect the business of Zhang Chu’s small shop.
However, Zhang Chu was still very puzzled, who built a platform here ah, Hibiscus Street does not seem to allow haphazardly build it.
So Zhang Chu walked over with the hot pot and shouted to one of the workers, “Who told you to build a stage here?”
“The Cultural Affairs Bureau!”A worker replied.
Cultural Bureau?
Zhang Chu scratched his head, he really didn’t know what this department did.
Since there was a unit, Zhang Chu stopped inquiring more and returned to his small shop.
After sitting down, Zhang Chu raised his head and immediately felt that when that stage was built, a horizontal pillar, as if it was the barrel of a tank, was aimed right at his own small shop.
Zhang Chu instantly felt that it was not quite right.
Immediately after, Zhang Chu cursed in his heart, “Nima, this platform is aimed at me!”
Generally speaking, in a pattern similar to that of a cannon tower, whoever the cannon barrel was pointed at would be in bad luck.
A fake cannon barrel was a little better, and wouldn’t affect it too seriously, if it was a real one that got a cannon barrel to come and face Zhang Chu squarely, then it would be troublesome.
However, without waiting for Zhang Chu to take a good look, a worker got a large red cloth and covered the entire stage.
“Damn it, this time, it should be Madam Yu’s group that’s causing trouble!”Zhang Chu immediately had a judgement in his heart.
However, Zhang Chu didn’t want to run out and tear down the stage right now, and he was eager to see what exactly these people were up to.
But no matter what, that cannon barrel still played a bit of a role.
In the past, at this time, Zhang Chu’s small shop had long been filled with people and customers.
But today, there was not a single customer.
The only person who seemed to want to enter Zhang Chu’s small shop was an old lady, but just after walking to the door, she seemed to have remembered something and even left.
“Te meow, daring to point a cannon barrel at my little shop, later on, no matter what happens, I’ll have to pay back the losses that I suffered today.”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
At the same time, Zhang Chu’s mind moved and said to Hot Pot, “Hot Pot, go to the southeast corner of that dais and piss on it! Pee on its stage pillar.”
When Hot Pot heard that, he immediately stood up, “Alright Grandpa!”
The hot pot hurriedly ran out and returned a short while later, saying to Zhang Chu, “Grandpa, the little toad and I both gave their southeast corner a pee.”
Zhang Chu was very satisfied, and it could be seen with the naked eye that the qi of the stage had weakened quite a bit.
Not long after, Shangguan Qingxue and Lin Siye arrived.
As soon as they entered, Shangguan Qingxue said, “What kind of nerve is the Culture Bureau having? I inquired about it, but it’s actually going to put on some kind of traditional cultural performance, it’s inexplicable.”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, laughed, “What performance, it’s clearly aimed at me.”
“Huh?”Shangguan Qingxue frowned, “Coming at you?”
Zhang Chu nodded slightly while saying, “Never mind, let’s see what they want.”
Two hours later, that high platform was finally built.
A red carpet was spread out on it, and at the same time, someone pulled out a banner that read, “Folklore and Culture Festival’s Feng Shui and Xiangjutsu Competition.”
At the same time, noisy stereos began to play songs.
For a while, the pedestrians on Furong Street were all attracted over, and many people surrounded the high platform.
Soon, Grandma Yu brought some Feng Shui masters who had befriended her, and a small tent was set up next to the high platform, where Grandma Yu’s people drank tea.
At this time, a fat host on stage.
The sound stopped, and the host spoke in a high-pitched tone, as if he was hosting a wedding, shouting in a rather festive voice: “Fathers and mothers of Jinling City, young and old, big girls and small daughters-in-law ……”
“I heard that a feng shui shop has opened on Furong Street, and the owner is very powerful, our Cultural Affairs Bureau, in order to promote cultural traditions and spread culture, hereby organises a folk culture competition.”
……
Outside, the gongs and drums were sounding and the firecrackers were shaking the sky.
Shangguan Qingxue instantly looked odd: “Zhang Chu, people are directly setting up a stage to call you out.”
Zhang Chu laughed bitterly, these guys did have some heart.
Having been beaten up by Zhang Chu at home last time, they knew that if they met privately again, they might get beaten up again.
Therefore, they directly set up a field and invited Zhang Chu to compete in Xuan Sect Arts.
In this situation, Zhang Chu definitely couldn’t put up a big fight.
Otherwise, after beating up the people, Zhang Chu’s signboard would be smashed.
When people in Jinling City mentioned the Feng Shui shop on Furong Street in the future, they would say, “That shop owner, if you say that he is not allowed to tell fortunes, he will beat you up until you say that he is allowed to do so.” ……
If Zhang Chu could take this opportunity to thoroughly educate those people from Madam Yu, Zhang Chu’s reputation would be even higher.
Therefore, this was the clear card, Zhang Chu must compete with the other party in the Xuanmen Arts.
Zhang Chu laughed coldly, “These guys, they really won’t stop until they reach the Yellow River, Lao Zi doesn’t want to take care of them, they won’t really think that I’m afraid of them.”
Of course, Zhang Chu did not go out immediately.
Granny Yu and the others had yet to arrive at the venue, so what was Zhang Chu in such a hurry for.
Soon, the fat host outside shouted, “Today, it’s actually an attack battle!”
“Several of our local Feng Shui masters from Jinling want to have a fight with this Feng Shui master who claimed that he could speak with an iron tongue!”
“Let’s see if our local Feng Shui masters in Jinling are better, or if a foreign monk can read scriptures.”
The onlookers were all Jinling natives, and now that the host said this, it was needless to say who they should support, who didn’t want their hometown’s to win?
Some people immediately chanted, “Jinling will win, Jinling will win!”
The fat host was very satisfied with the effect, and he hurriedly said, “Alright, now, let me introduce, our local Feng Shui masters in Jinling.”
“Granny Yu, our Jinling is famous for passing through the netherworld, and is said to be able to pass through the ghosts and spirits of the netherworld, so I believe that many people have heard of Granny Yu’s name.”
With Fatty’s introduction, Granny Yu went on stage, then found a seat and sat down.
Immediately after that, Fatty shouted, “Han Qixin! He is good at touching bones and telling fortunes, and can divine fortunes and prospects, and although he is blind, an erhu can detect roads, tell fortunes, and shoo dogs. Apart from not being able to play tunes, he can do everything.”
Blind man at once carried his erhu up to the front, he screwed the daughter of the Yu woman, no matter what, he must help the Yu woman.
At this time, the fat man shouted again, “Jane Di, good at yin house feng shui, the most good at looking at graveyards, but also catch ghosts, it is said that there was once a widow in Jinling surnamed Tang, always feel harassed by ghosts at night, Jane Di out of the widow’s bedroom to catch seven ugly-looking ghosts and monsters.”
Under the stage, many of the audience listened in awe, and did not know whether this fat man’s words were true or false.
And the fat man shouted again, “Today, these three masters, challenge Mr Iron Mouth Zhang Chu.”
“If these three masters win, then it means that my Feng Shui gentleman from Jinling City is better, in the future, please ask this Mr Zhang Chu, to abide by the rules of Jinling and not to make a fuss.”
“If Mr Zhang Chu wins, then in the future, both sides will keep well water away from river water.”
When Fatty shouted this out, many people under the stage immediately whispered:
“Hmm? That sounds a bit wrong, letting Zhang Chu abide by the rules? Did he do something unruly?”
“It seems that this Zhang Chu is not dealing with our Feng Shui masters in Jinling.”
“Couldn’t have done something outrageous? Otherwise, how could it be like this?”
It had to be said that the surrounding audience was still quite smart.
Many people could already see that Zhang Chu had some conflicts with these people.
At this time, Fatty finally shouted towards Zhang Chu’s small shop, “Mr Zhang Chu, can you come out for a match? Everyone is waiting anxiously now.”
Zhang Chu directly left his Feng Shui shop and walked out, slowly ascending the high platform.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingxue and Lin SiYu also followed him out.
After Lin SiYu saw Zhang Chu ascend the stage, she immediately clapped hard, around them, some of the spectators knew Zhang Chu’s name and also clapped slightly, the applause was sparse, clearly, there weren’t many people who supported Zhang Chu.
But Zhang Chu was optimistic, as soon as he got on stage, he shouted, “Thank you for the thunderous applause!”
“Hahaha ……” off stage, many of the audience burst into laughter.
This time, many of the audience were embarrassed and hurriedly applauded Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu slightly raised his hand, signalling everyone to be quiet.
Immediately after, Zhang Chu said, “Thank you all very much for supporting me, and now, I will perform a song for you all, dare to ask where the road is!”
Next to him, the host was instantly baffled.
Offstage, many of the audience were also dumbfounded.
Wait, didn’t you say that you were going to compete in the Xuanmen arts and engage in a cultural exchange of feng shui and physiognomy, what’s the rhythm of you taking the stage to offer a song?
