It’s the end of the world after becoming a mountain god!
Chapter 202 The Second Ancestor
The reason why Song Tang agreed to help was that he felt it was not easy for them to pass on their skills until now.
Secondly, there was no aura of injustice on Blind Wang’s body, which meant that the source of his human skin was indeed a “legitimate business.”
In addition, he still has some merits, which shows that this person is not as shameless and unscrupulous as he seems.
"I have two requests. If you agree, I will show you a way. As for whether you can turn a dead end into a life path, it depends on your own luck."
"First, from now on, you shadow puppeteers are not allowed to continue using human skin to make shadow puppets."
To put it nicely, this request is to ask Blind Wang to change the rules set by his ancestors.
To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to asking him to betray his master and ancestors and set up his own faction!
Blind Wang thought that Song Tang had done something illegal and it was inconvenient for her to take action personally, such as killing those who had offended her at the Yunyang Taoist Temple and the Taishang Taoist Temple.
As a result, this is it?
"Okay, no problem!" Blind Wang agreed without hesitation.
Song Tang frowned slightly, trying to find a hint of hypocrisy on Blind Wang's face, but in the end he only saw a sincere look on his face.
This puzzled her, so she made her second request, "Second, you are not allowed to cheat people anymore, and all the money you earn must come from legitimate sources."
This made Blind Wang a little embarrassed and hesitant.
It is more difficult to make a money-loving person stop being tempted by money than to make a gambler or drug addict change his ways!
Blind Wang is already in his seventies. He has loved money all his life and it has been ingrained in his bones.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know that his grandson couldn't learn well from him, but still couldn't change this bad habit.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Blind Wang did not dare to hide it. It would be more painful for him to watch him not make money than to kill him. "But I will try my best. No! I can do it! Master Song, I swear to the ancestors. If one day I fail to do the two points you said, let me die without a burial place, and after death I will not be reincarnated, and suffer the pain of the eighteen levels of hell!"
Song Tang was still satisfied with Blind Wang's sincere attitude.
As for what will happen in the future, no one can guarantee it.
If Blind Wang can't do it, she naturally has a way to make him pay the price he deserves.
"In fact, your shadow puppets are not only used for pretending to be ghosts, but may have better uses. You can study them more." Song Tang said, and stretched out his hand, "Give me the photo."
The photo shows two men, one old and one young.
Song Tang did not ask who the two men were, but simply told the truth about what he saw, "From the looks of this man, it seems that he has an illegitimate child, who is about the same age as the man in the photo."
Song Tang raised the picture of a man who was about 60 years old, and pointed to another picture of a young man in his twenties and said, "From his face, it is not difficult to tell that he has lived a wealthy life with good conditions since he was young. But his parents have been in a bad relationship and quarreled a lot since he was young, and he has lived with one of them for a long time. You can see that his left eyebrow is pointed, which is a standard sign of bad luck to his biological father. Judging from his age and face, his biological father should no longer be alive."
"Master Song, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that someone could tell so many things from a person's face." Blind Wang respectfully took the photo that Song Tang handed back to him.
Even though he is considered a Taoist, he actually doesn't really believe in ghosts and gods.
Otherwise, no one would dare to use human skin to make shadow puppets!
In particular, he has always been skeptical about the fortune-telling skills in the Taoist sect.
Most of the time, people think that they are the same as themselves, but they just deceive people in a different way.
Until this moment, Song Tang had figured out so many things when he had no idea who the people in the two photos were.
"This old man is dead. He died of a heart attack." Blind Wang raised one of the photos and said with another one, "This man is the rich second-generation who cheated my grandson. I have always suspected that he was the one who killed his father."
Song Tang shook his head and said firmly: "It should be an accident."
If this man really killed his own father on purpose, it would be impossible not to see it from his facial features.
After hearing what Song Tang said, combined with what he had found out before, Blind Wang had already recovered 70% to 80% of the truth.
After saying goodbye to Song Tang and leaving, Blind Wang had quickly come up with a plan.
Not to mention the subsequent scene of the rich second-generation mother and son and the mistress mother and son making a scene at the funeral hall, which was quite a sensation. Not long after, the rich second-generation mother and son were both arrested and imprisoned, becoming the laughing stock of Taiyue City.
After a stint in jail, Wang Ergou was finally acquitted, but was heavily fined by the local authorities for playing tricks.
After this incident, Wang Ergou's nature of valuing money over life finally subsided.
Blind Wang took the opportunity to suggest that their shadow puppets should make a change, and Wang Ergou agreed after only a slight hesitation.
Many years later, the original human skin shadow puppets were completely eliminated and replaced by pig skin.
Blind Wang is indeed an old hand who has found a way for shadow puppeteers to make a living. After giving up pretending to be ghosts, he has developed a new path.
Their shadow puppets do not have strong attack power, but they are nimble and have strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
After some thought, Blind Wang began to seek cooperation with the authorities.
In a trial collaboration, Blind Wang's shadow puppets successfully rescued countless people from a fire.
The government saw the value of shadow puppets and agreed to carry out in-depth cooperation with them.
From then on, whenever there is dangerous work, such as situations where the terrain is dangerous, narrow, or risky, including earthquakes, fires, car accidents and other scenarios, shadow puppets of Wang Xiazi's grandparents and grandchildren will replace real people to carry out the task.
In order to increase public acceptance, Blind Wang also changed the shadow puppets into the shapes of various animals.
Because of their repeated achievements, many young people have volunteered to join the shadow puppet troupe.
The shadow puppetry finally expanded from a grandfather and grandson whose inheritance was almost cut off to hundreds or thousands of people, and even became one of the largest sects in the Flower Kingdom.
Blind Wang lived to be 120 years old before he died of old age.
He had already stepped into the ranks of monks at that time, but because he had his epiphany too late, he missed the best time to practice.
Because of his poor understanding, Wang Ergou entered the cycle of reincarnation decades earlier than him.
When Blind Wang was dying, he recalled his life with a sigh: "If it weren't for that person's guidance, the shadow puppetry would have been extinct long ago. After I leave, I will send someone to tell him that I have done what I promised. You all should remember one thing, we shadow puppets only do righteous things throughout our lives, and we should cultivate more merits, remember..."
With the departure of Blind Wang, the practice of merit and virtue by shadow puppets officially became the mainstream practice of their sect.
At the last moment before Blind Wang closed his eyes, he was still thinking that after hundreds of years, shadow puppets came from the officialdom and returned to the officialdom.
Although the functions are completely different, they actually achieve the same goal.
He has done his best to live up to his master and his ancestors!
In order to thank Blind Wang for his contribution to shadow puppetry, the shadow puppetry descendants regard him as another ancestor of the shadow puppetry.
Of course, these are all things to follow.
The three-day free exchange period of Xuanmen has arrived. Song Tang brings his four disciples to Taiyue Temple again, and their first sect competition mission will officially begin.
