Zhuang Li took Zhuang Jiuge away from Jinmanlou and walked to the street to continue guarding his fortune-telling booth.
The crowd that likes to watch the lively has not dispersed until this time.
Jinmanlou is the property of King Qi, and these people did not dare to trespass, so they squatted outside and watched, and when they finally came to Zhuang Li, they immediately asked in a loud voice: "Sir, those evil spirits who haunt Miss Zhou are being punished. Did you catch it?"
This is the most famous haunted incident in Bazhou City, and everyone naturally wants to know the result.
"It's just a bunch of monsters, why can't you catch them?" Zhuang Li asked in an understatement.
Standing behind him, Zhuang Jiuge raised his chest proudly and said loudly, "My brother is so powerful, he killed all the ghosts as soon as he came out!"
In fact, he already knew that Miss Zhou was not a villain, but was insulted so much that she couldn't stand the stimulation and fascinated her mind. But this kind of thing is too tragic for a woman, so let's put it on the ghost.
Thinking like this, Zhuang Jiuge lowered his eyelids and quietly suppressed the anger and compassion in his eyes. It was only then that he knew that the human heart and human words were actually more terrifying than ghosts.
Zhuang Li patted the back of his hand soothingly, and warned, "Don't overthink things, read your book carefully. If you want to change the world, you must first stand tall."
"Brother, I understand, I will be more diligent in the future." Zhuang Jiuge picked up the book and read it attentively. The noise around him could not affect him at all.
King Qi walked to the window and looked at the two of them silently, and pondered: "Both of their brothers are extraordinary."
Several guards even claimed to be, with a bit of awe on their faces.
Although Miss Zhou is not a stalker, and Zhuang Li has never caught a real ghost, his methods of manipulating sleep and sealing memories are more shocking than catching ghosts.
Does Master Xuanzhenzi of Qingtianguan have such a practice? I'm afraid not! Otherwise, the lord would have received the news long ago, and the outside world would have spread the news.
And how could Master Xuanzhenzi teach a scum like Daoist Lingxi? Could he himself be a demon in human skin
Several guards involuntarily had such an association.
And King Qi has already said coldly: "Besides the Qingtianguan, this king will not go."
Several guards hurriedly agreed, but they did not persuade them in the slightest.
At the same time, Miss Zhou with a weak spleen and stomach left Jinmanlou with only a bowl of porridge. For some reason, she wanted to go home and sleep.
Mrs. Zhou supported her daughter and described the changes in her family in a soft voice over the past few years. She thought that her daughter would be sad because of the divorce of the Li family, but she didn't expect her to be in a trance for a moment, and then shook her head and said that's fine, It was quickly put down.
After waking up, she was really like Mr. Zhuang's guidance, brave and strong to face all kinds of disappointments in life. It seems that she has not changed, but she is much more mature than three years ago. Those scars still tempered her soul after all.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red again, but a reassuring smile appeared on her face.
The mother and daughter walked down the stairs with a smile, and bowed back to the shopkeeper who sent them out in person. Lianbu lightly stepped over the threshold and stroked the hem of her skirt naturally. Every move carried the demure and grace that was carved into her bones.
Master Zhou followed behind the two and excitedly said that he would take them to Baoyuzhai to buy jewelry.
Miss Zhou said with a smile, "Thank you, Daddy", her eyes were clear, her expression was cheerful, and she didn't have the madness she had before.
The people who stayed in place and waited to watch the excitement opened their eyes wide and showed disbelief. It was not until the Zhou family drove away from the street in a carriage that they burst into amazement: "Oh my God! The evil spirit on Miss Zhou is actually Really kicked out!"
"I was a madman when I went in, but when I came out, I became a lady. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it!"
"Mr. Zhuang is amazing!"
"I've taken it! This time I've really taken it! Mr. Zhuang's Taoism is even higher than the Taoist priest Lingxi!"
"It is said that Da Yin is hidden in the city, and the real masters are indeed in the market!"
After everyone sighed, they scrambled to surround Zhuang Li's fortune-telling booth, begging him to give some advice.
Zhuang Li refused all of them, closed his eyes and said, "I only tell fortunes for people who are destined or caught in fire and water, you all leave."
Some people went away obediently, and some people asked curiously: "Mr. Zhuang, you can easily get rid of the evil spirits that Daoist Lingxi couldn't solve. Your Taoism should be above Daoist Lingxi. Then you are compared with Master Xuanzhenzi. How about getting up? Who are the two of you stronger or weaker?"
This question simply puts Zhuang Li on fire. Who doesn't know that Master Xuan Zhenzi is the most powerful Taoist priest in Jin? How could Zhuang Li, a hairy boy, dare to compare with him
When everyone thought that Zhuang Li would definitely belittle himself and take advantage of the situation to praise Master Gao Xuanzhenzi, he opened his eyes and smiled contemptuously: "Daoist Lingxi is just a liar who pretends to be a ghost, how can he be compared with me? Can you teach me? With such an apprentice, Xuan Zhenzi must also be a vain person."
ho! Mr. Zhuang is very loud!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then made a dissatisfied noise.
"Did you know that the auspicious day when the emperor ascended the throne was calculated by Master Xuan Zhenzi?" Someone asked loudly.
Another person scolded: "You do have some ability, but you are too arrogant. You have never met Master Xuanzhenzi, why do you say that he has a false name?"
"I don't need to see him to know that he must not be a good thing." Zhuang Li closed his eyes again and ignored the people around him.
Religious groups are the most severely bound social organizations, with a high degree of ideological assimilation. If one person in the group has a problem in his mind, others will be quickly infected. Therefore, the criminal behavior of religious people is often group.
300 Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania, United States, are suspected of sexually abusing more than 1,000 children. This is a typical case of religious group crime.
And this kind of case is based on the influence of the group psychological effect, just like a bad fruit in one pocket, the rest of the fruit will quickly rot.
Therefore, Zhuang Li did not believe that Xuan Zhenzi was innocent, and even the entire Qingtian view was problematic.
Daoist Lingxi's techniques are both skilled and bold, and he dared to murder the daughter of the governor in the governor's mansion in broad daylight, which shows that he has no fear of the powerful.
Where did his confidence come from? He is a little Taoist, who gave him the courage
Zhuang Li shook his head secretly, already deeply suspicious of the legendary Master Xuan Zhenzi. Without his connivance, Daoist Lingxi would not be so maddened.
While thinking about it, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd: "Master Xuan Zhenzi is here!"
"It's been a long time since he went down the mountain? What is this time for?"
"He just stood on the corner of the street and heard Mr. Zhuang's words clearly!"
"The person by his side seems to be Prefect Qin!"
"It's over, Mr. Zhuang is in trouble!"
"There's a good show to watch now, Master Xuan Zhenzi will definitely come to smash Mr. Zhuang's signboard!"
"Who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?"
"Nonsense, of course, Master Xuanzhenzi is more powerful. When Master Xuanzhenzi became famous all over the world, this Mr. Zhuang hadn't been born yet!"
Everyone hurriedly made way, so that Master Xuanzhenzi and Prefect Qin could walk to Zhuang Li's fortune-telling booth unimpeded.
Standing on the teahouse and staring at this, King Qi immediately stood up and hurried downstairs. Xuan Zhenzi has the backing of Qin Taishou, does he have to stand up for the little gentleman
---
Zhuang Li opened his eyes and looked forward, only to see an old Taoist priest with a childish face walking slowly, with a shallow smile on his face, unpredictable rays of light flashing in his eyes, accompanied by a man beside him. A middle-aged man in fancy clothes.
"I heard everything you said earlier, so I'm here to talk with you." Master Xuanzhenzi said with a smile.
The middle-aged man standing beside him was Prefect Qin, who was staring sharply at Zhuang Li with a very unhappy look on his face.
Hearing that King Qi came to Bazhou and was seriously ill, he immediately thought of Master Xuan Zhenzi who had just made an elixir, so he went up the mountain overnight to invite someone.
Along the way, he treated Master Xuanzhenzi as his ancestor, but when he entered the city, someone stepped on Master Xuanzhenzi into the mud in front of him. How could he endure this
Prefect Qin looked Zhuang Li up and down, anger brewing in his heart, but the jade pendant whose eyes touched the other's waist suddenly froze. That is, that is the token of King Qi!
Without waiting for Qin Taishou to think deeply, Zhuang Li pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Please sit down. Let's talk about Taoism, let's compare and fortune."
Master Xuan Zhenzi was not afraid at all, he sat down and asked with a light smile, "What do you want?"
"I count your life, you count my life, how?" Zhuang Li raised his lips.
"Yes." Master Xuan Zhenzi gave Zhuang Li a deep look.
Zhuang Li took out a pile of copper coins, threw them on the table at will, and said to Xuan Zhenzi: "Please count how many copper coins this is. If you don't count it clearly, the hexagram may be inaccurate."
Master Xuan Zhenzi gave a rough count and said, "Nine."
"Wrong, count again." Zhuang Li showed a sarcastic smile.
Master Xuan Zhenzi lowered his head, counted it carefully, and said firmly: "It is indeed nine."
"Wrong, you count one by one." Zhuang Li looked at the crowd around him and ordered, "You all be quiet, don't disturb the Master's thoughts."
The crowd who had originally said loudly, "It's just nine counts," immediately shut their mouths.
They don't want to shut up. Yesterday, the noble man appeared out of nowhere, and he was accompanied by several vicious guards. The guards pulled out their sabres one by one, with the words "Keep quiet" written on their face.
The people around were frightened by the cold light of the blade, shivering and shivering, and what made them dare not make a mistake was the reaction of Qin Taishou. The emperor of Bazhou quickly ran to the man's side, and bowed down and saluted in awe.
Even the prefect has to bow to greet him, and the status of a man can be imagined.
The noisy street fell into silence for a moment.
In order to prove that he was right, Master Xuanzhenzi pointed the coins one by one with his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine."
Zhuang Li immediately gave an order when he finished counting: "Wrong, you count backwards again."
Master Xuan Zhenzi counted down subconsciously: "Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
Before he knew it, his brain was already in chaos, his consciousness was compressed into a very small range of activities by this repeated counting behavior, and his judgment was gradually blurred. He can only stare at the copper coins on the table and count them mechanically, and this state is already a mild hypnotic state.
When he complied with Zhuang Li's request and started the countdown, the mild hypnotic state turned into a moderate hypnotic state unconsciously.
At this time, with just a few words from Zhuang Li, Xuan Zhenzi could have hallucinations.
So Zhuang Li picked up a copper coin and said in a deep voice, "Look at this copper coin and don't blink. Slowly, the eyes of this copper coin will turn into a black vortex, can you see it?"
Xuan Zhenzi nodded blankly, "I saw it."
Zhuang Li said slowly: "This vortex is the gate to the underworld. Your soul can't resist the call of the underworld. It floats out of the body and keeps spinning along the whirlpool. You turn, turn, turn, turn all the time. , can't stop for a long time."
Along with his remarks, Xuan Zhenzi's head also began to spin in circles, and the already confused expression turned completely numb. He has entered a deep hypnotic state.
Zhuang Li said in a low voice: "Your soul has been spinning for a long time, and finally it was sucked into the vortex and entered the underworld. You landed in a majestic and gloomy hall. Yet?"
Xuan Zhenzi raised his head, looked at the void, and nodded stiffly like a puppet: "I see."
His expressions, movements, and words all conformed to Zhuang Li's description, as if his soul was really sucked into the underworld by Qianyan and arrived at Yama Temple.
This strange and strange, mysterious and mysterious scene stunned everyone.
The already quiet street suddenly fell into a dead silence, and everyone's eyes on Zhuang Li changed.
Can a person with such means still be called a person
Chapter 167 Science God Stick VS Koi Yun Fairy 16 ┃ Zhuang Li: I'm waiting for my sweetheart.
The entire block became silent because of Zhuang Lixuanqi's methods.
Everyone watched with bated breath as Master Xuan Zhenzi, whose soul fell into Yan Luo Temple.
Zhuang Li said in a deep voice: "Now, take a good look at King Yama who is sitting in the hall, carefully identify his face, and then tell me who he is."
Xuan Zhenzi, who looked up at the mid-air, slowly moved his gaze forward, his eyes were wide open, but his pupils were out of focus. After being stunned for a while, he stumbled and shouted, "It's you! You turned out to be King Yama!"
His pupils finally had focus, but Zhuang Li's indifferent face was reflected in them.
Xuan Zhenzi knelt down with a plop, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, gradually soaking his clothes. He was completely caught up in this half-truth illusion.
Hearing Xuan Zhenzi's words, the onlookers all showed expressions of extreme horror, and then all retreated, actually thinking that Zhuang Li was the King of Yama.
Qin Taishou was also so frightened that his face was pale, and then he followed the crowd and hid.
Only King Qi and his guards always stood in place, silently guarding the isolated little gentleman.
Zhuang Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. These days he has been thinking about who the person in his brother's body is, and now he finally has the answer.
Everyone was stunned by the illusion created by Zhuang Li, and Xuan Zhenzi, who was in it, was shaking like a sieve, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and his face showed a look of resistance, as if he wanted to break free from the illusion.
Zhuang Li immediately gave an order: "Look into my eyes and tell me what your name is."
Xuan Zhenzi couldn't help looking at the dark and deep pupils, and couldn't resist telling the truth: "My name is Zhang Dahu."
He gave his secular name, not the Taoist name, which shows that he has no sense of identity and belonging to Taoism. His beliefs are false.
Zhuang Li continued to ask: "Where are you from? Why did you enter the Yama Temple to be tried?"
Xuan Zhenzi answered honestly: "I'm from Luanzhou. I don't know how I came to the Yama Temple. I was already here as soon as I opened my eyes."
"Lie!" Zhuang Li said in a deep voice, "A person who is not guilty of heinous crimes will never enter the Hall of Hell. What did you do in the secular world? Why don't you bring it up quickly!"
"Your Majesty, I'm really innocent, and I didn't commit any crimes." Xuan Zhenzi held on to his words and refused to speak.
However, in a deep hypnotic state, his conscious and subconscious mind is not under his control at all. As long as Zhuang Li stepped up his guidance, he would definitely not be able to resist.
"Do you know the book of life and death? Whether you say it or not, all your experiences in your life will be recorded in it. Let me read it." Zhuang Li closed his eyes and seemed to be flipping through the book in his mind, then said coldly: " You slander and harm people, argue with your tongue, murder and set fire, you should go to the hell of the mountain of swords! Do you admit or deny these crimes? If you do not admit, I will be punished by Ling Chi!"
Xuan Zhenzi knew the book of life and death, and also knew that the means of immortals could not be fooled by mortals, so he had to bow his head and confess, "I admit it."
"Whose life have you killed, bring it to me!" Zhuang Li immediately guided him.
Based on the actions of Daoist Lingxi, Zhuang Li guessed that Xuan Zhenzi's hands must not be clean. In order to save time, he simply tried the most serious crimes. If Xuan Zhenzi was asked to count how many people he had deceived over the years, it might be impossible to count from today to tomorrow.
Hypnosis only creates an illusion, and cannot change a person's thinking ability. Therefore, if Xuan Zhenzi never killed anyone, he could completely deny it.
Xuan Zhenzi also wanted to deny it, but the person who interrogated him was King Yama. If he lied, the records in the book of life and death would immediately expose these lies, and the consequences would only be more serious.
This is the effect of authority in hypnosis. Once the hypnotist has established supreme authority in the subject's mind, his words become oracles.
Xuan Zhenzi did not dare to resist the ghosts and gods, so he had to honestly explain his crimes. From leaving the arena at the age of 18 to becoming famous all over the world at the age of 68, he killed a total of 49 people.
Among them were his concubine who had committed adultery with him, fellow villagers who held his hand, court officials who hindered his future, as well as ordinary people and his disciples.
He killed them either for money, for sex, for power, or for silence, in short, for their own reasons.
The bodies of these people were either thrown by him in the wilderness to feed the wolves, or buried in the soil and turned into bones, or burned into ashes by a fire. There was even a little Taoist boy's body buried in the flower bed of Qingtian Temple, nourishing many beautiful flowers.
Everyone around was stunned, and no one exclaimed: "I know this Ryu that Xuan Zhenzi said! We are both from the same village, and Ryu never went back when he went out to play. His daughter-in-law was actually with him. Xuan Zhenzi has a leg! Xuan Zhenzi also killed him because of this, my God!"
This man's words caused a panicked uproar from everyone.
He killed 49 people in 50 years, which is equivalent to killing one a year on average. There really is such a demon in the world!
Obstruct his future, kill! Carrying too much money with him is seen by him, kill him! Grab his handle and kill! Persuade him not to do evil, but also to kill!
This Xuan Zhenzi is not a human at all, but a ghost in human skin!
Everyone retreated further, with angry expressions on their faces.
When Xuan Zhenzi explained his crimes in detail, Zhuang Li signaled to his younger brother to quickly write these words down.
Zhuang Jiuge hurriedly spread out a piece of rice paper and wrote with his pen like flying. When Xuan Zhenzi finished explaining, he also left the last word here.
Zhuang Li took the letter and looked at it, then handed it to Xuan Zhenzi, ordering him to sign it and sign it.
Xuan Zhenzi honestly signed and pressed his handprint, so Zhuang Li counted down five times to wake him up from the hypnotic state.
If the hypnotist does not give guidance, the subject will not lose the memory in the hypnosis, so Xuan Zhenzi remembers everything when he wakes up. He didn't care about the reactions of the people around him, and suddenly rushed towards Zhuang Li, trying to snatch the charge.
Before Zhuang Li could dodge, King Qi stunned Xuan Zhenzi with a knife, and said coldly, "Put him in jail for interrogation. Prefect Qin, you should send someone to investigate the crime on this case immediately, and it must be done in the shortest time possible. Find out the truth and give the people an explanation. The Qingtian Temple has been sealed by this king, and all Taoist priests in the temple have been arrested and awaited trial!"
Qin Taishou answered the promise with sincerity and fear, and then hesitantly said: "Xuanzhenzi has refined a kind of elixir, which is said to be able to cure all diseases."
"I don't dare to eat the elixir made by this kind of person, and I think it's dirty." King Qi said with extreme disgust.
Qin Taishou did not dare to speak for Xuan Zhenzi again, bowed deeply, and then hurried away with the letter in hand. The prince personally ordered a strict investigation, and he naturally did not dare to delay.
The crowd of onlookers applauded King Qi, and some people were so frightened that they turned pale. But no matter how they feel, they have the same view on Zhuang Li - this Mr. Zhuang can actually bring people's souls into the underworld for interrogation! Then he is definitely a fairy!
Thinking like this, some people's knees softened, and they actually knelt down to Zhuang Li. Affected by these people, more and more people are kneeling.
Zhuang Li was the most impatient of this, so he asked King Qi as a matter of course: "Please clear the field."
King Qi waved his hand slightly, and more guards came out of the dark to disperse the crowd.
When these people left, their eyes were extremely eager, their expressions were extremely adoring, and they shouted words such as "please ask the gods for enlightenment".
"It's just some illusions, nothing unusual." Zhuang Li pointed to the chair opposite him and said warmly, "Please sit down."
King Qi sat down, his eyes fixed on the young man, and he said frankly, "I was next door when you hunted for Miss Zhou."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.
"System, do you still think this person doesn't pay attention to me?" he asked in his mind, with a bit of pride in his tone.
7480: "...Okay, master, you won, the gods love you."
Zhuang Li smiled with satisfaction, and then led the King of Qi to speak: "So what?"
King Qi said slowly: "So I know that you are deliberately belittling Lingxi and Xuan Zhenzi in front of everyone. You hope these wild words can lead Lingxi out and put him on trial."
"Yes, but I didn't expect to catch his master." Zhuang Li generously admitted his plan.
Of course, when he tried Lingxi, he would hide what happened to Miss Zhou or women with similar experiences, and only expose the murder committed by Lingxi. But he didn't need to explain this to anyone.
King Qi nodded and said, "When I tested the characters yesterday, you said that the person I was looking for had already appeared. Is that person you?"
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
King Qi lowered his eyes slightly and fell into silence. He didn't know what to think, but his pale ears turned bright red. He wanted to ask again - is the sweetheart you are waiting for me
But he also knew that if he really asked, he would definitely get a negative answer, or even a burst of unbelievable ridicule.
A fresh and beautiful boy would only fall in love with an equally fresh and beautiful girl, so how could he fall in love with a half-dead like him
This thought of self-loathing and self-abandonment plunged into King Qi's heart like a needle, causing him to be surrounded by a dense stinging pain. In a trance, he finally realized where his restlessness and nostalgia came from.
After seeing him only once, the young man left an indelible mark on his heart.
He is already thirty-five this year, but the boy is only eighteen or nineteen years old, so energetic, smart and cute. This feeling of his was like a tarnish to the young man.
King Qi's hot ears quickly turned cold, and the slightly opened lips were closed again. He waved his hands tiredly and got up to go.
However, Zhuang Li had already seen through his thoughts. He suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered with a smile, "Why didn't you ask? You guessed right, the sweetheart I'm waiting for is you." After saying this, his tender lips didn't know. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he gently rubbed the tip of King Qi's ear.
King Qi seemed to be struck by lightning, and his body froze in place. He couldn't guess the answer anyway, and the joy that followed was also temporarily unbearable for his closed heart for a long time, so he didn't know how to react at all, only one pair of ears quickly turned red.
Zhuang Li didn't care about his sluggishness, he packed up the things on the table, hooked his index finger at his younger brother, and said casually, "Close the stall and go home."
Zhuang Jiuge saluted King Qi respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, then caught up with his brother and walked away quickly.
When King Qi came back to his senses from the shock, the two brothers had already disappeared into the vast crowd.
"Go to Luoxia Village!" King Qi, who had returned to normal, couldn't wait to give an order.
---
At the same time, Zhuang Li and Zhuang Jiuge meet with Zhuang Lao Er and Liu Chunhua at the dock.
Yaxing didn't know whose property the mansion in Xishan belonged to, but only said that it would help them find out and ask them to come back in two days.
Zhuang Li was not disappointed. He took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and handed it to the second son of Zhuang, with a very calm tone: "Father, keep these bank notes and save them to buy houses and fields in the future."
Zhuang Lao Er carefully counted as many as five hundred taels, and his scalp was numb with shock. The son has earned a lot of gold and silver in two days. What is the rhythm? Will their family become the richest man in Bazhou City soon
Zhuang Jiuge quickly explained what happened today vividly, causing the couple to exclaim.
The news spread quickly on the dock side. When the family of four stood and talked, many people were already watching overtly and secretly, all with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
Nowadays, who doesn't know that Mr. Zhuang is an immortal figure with great skills, even the prefect and King Qi have to treat him with courtesy! After giving birth to such a son, the second son of Zhuang is still doing any work, and he can go back to be the eldest master.
Feeling the awe and admiration in everyone's eyes, Zhuang Lao Er straightened his back, waved his hand, and said cheerfully, "Go, let's go to the bank to save money, and buy a roast pig to go home by the way!"
Zhuang Jiuge: "Dad, I still want to eat roast goose!"
Zhuang Li: "I want to eat pork belly with sauce."
"Come on, we have all the elbows with roast pig and roast goose sauce!" Zhuang Lao Er laughed.
When the family of four was enjoying a sumptuous dinner in the city, two strangers came to Luoxia Village. Both were twelve or thirteen-year-old children. Candy and copper coins were used to take Zhuang's second child's house, and his eyes were still wandering around, his behavior was very sneaky.
Because of their young age and ordinary appearance, the villagers didn't even notice it.
Only Zhuang Tianer glanced at the two of them without a trace when passing by, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled sinisterly.
It seems that Boss Zhuang has spread the news that the second house of the Zhuang family has made a fortune.
