Chapter 129: Debunking the Deception
Except for the forty guards who were not dressed in civilian clothes and the male and female hosts of the Xia Mansion, almost all of the people in the Xia Mansion were gathered in the courtyard, with the women standing in the center of the courtyard and the men in a few circles watching the excitement.
Under the order of Xia Ji, the two soldiers pulled a long rope horizontally at the high place in front, and everyone didn't know what it was for.
When the wizard heard that the people had arrived, he began to recite a spell in front of the desk, waving around the desk and casting spells, and when he had done this, he had his apprentice lead the women past the wizard one by one, and be examined by the wizard in person.
After inspecting these women, sure enough, as Xia Ji said, the wizard claimed that the female ghost was still in the Xia Mansion, but not among these women. Then he cast another spell in a matter-of-fact manner, and suddenly pointed his finger at the location of the lobby of the Xia Mansion, saying that the female ghost was in the lobby, which shocked almost everyone.
Since the lobby is an important place in the summer mansion, and it is not a place where anyone wants to step in, the wizard proposed to Jiang Lu to take his apprentice into the lobby to catch ghosts.
Jiang Lu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered the lobby to ask Lord Sima and his wife for instructions.
After listening to Jiang Lu's instructions, Lord Sima asked Jiang Lu and Chang Wei to bring the wizard into the lobby together, and the others were not allowed to enter.
After a while, the wizard was brought into the lobby, Master Sima gave Chang Wei a look, Chang Wei immediately retreated, led the soldiers to the compound, first invited the entourage of the twenty or so wizards to the backyard, and then controlled them and locked them in the backyard.
After the wizard waved his hand to Lord Sima and Uncle Xia Yu and his wife, Uncle Xia Yu asked, "Master, I heard that you have controlled the ghost's soul, but is there such a thing?"
"Lord Sima, as you said, Poor Dao has taken control of the female ghost's soul, but the female ghost's true body has not yet been captured."
"Where is the female ghost?" Uncle Xia Yu asked.
"I don't know if I should talk about it?" The wizard said.
"Master, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Uncle Xia Yu said.
After the sorcerer made a gesture, he said, "I hope Lord Sima and Mrs. Sima will forgive the villain's sins of disrespect." With all due respect, there is a demon cloud on Madame's head, and the female ghost has possessed Madame's body. ”
"Bold and demonic, how dare you be so rude?" Uncle Xia Yu said angrily.
"Lord Sima is angry, Poor Dao is just telling the truth, and there is no disrespect, if Lord Sima doesn't believe it, Poor Dao is willing to take back what he said."
"My lord, let the concubine come and talk to him." Xia Ji said to Uncle Xia Yu.
"Are you guilty?" Natsuki said to the wizard.
"What is the sin of being poor?"
"The crime of deceiving gods and ghosts, confusing the public, and seeking fame and deceiving the world."
"I dare not be ashamed, I can't afford to be so high-rated. If this statement comes from someone else's mouth, there is still room for discussion, and you have been possessed by a demon, if it is what Mrs. Xia said, it should be credible, but if it is a demon's words, how can it be believed? Now I can't tell whose mouth this is from, and even if it comes from Mrs. Xia's mouth, it needs to be based on real evidence, otherwise why accuse the poor Dao of hiding gods and ghosts, confusing the public, and fishing for fame and deceive the world? "The wizard seems to have a chance to win, and he is not afraid of Natsuki's accusations.
"Since you claim to be a master, do you dare to confront me in front of everyone, you can point out the evidence that I am a female ghost in front of everyone, and correspondingly, I can also peel off the skin of your body layer by layer." Natsuhime said again.
When this wizard heard that it was exactly what he wanted, he thought to himself that he had no handle to fall into the Xia Mansion, so what was there to worry about? So he gladly accepted: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." It has been 20 years since Poor Dao, and he has caught countless ghosts, and he has never missed, and Poor Dao has been offended. ”
So Uncle Xia and his wife, Jiang Lu, and the wizard came to the compound together, and everyone in the compound quieted down when they saw the owner and his wife coming.
Xia Ji calmly said to everyone: "Shicai, the wizard said that the female ghost soul of the Xia Mansion has been controlled by him, and the real body of the female ghost is the concubine body, which means that in the eyes of the wizard, the concubine body is a person whose soul is controlled by him. Now, ask a sorcerer to prove that the concubine is a female ghost. ”
"Mrs. Xia has offended a lot. There are ghosts in Xia Mansion, this is an irrefutable fact, and it is also seen by many people in Xia Mansion. Poor Dao cast spells for three days, has managed to besiege the soul of the female ghost, and today's method of divination, everyone has seen that the poor Dao uses the demon god to bind the soul of the female ghost, and the real body of the female ghost is in the sky, there are demon clouds condensed, which has not escaped the eyes of the poor Dao at all, and now Mrs. Xia is haunted by female ghosts, and she must cast a spell to exorcise ghosts by the poor Dao, so as to keep the Xia Mansion safe. ”
The crowd was shocked when they heard what the wizard said, and they didn't dare to look at the hostess, fearing that the next moment the hostess would turn into a ghost.
"Is there anything else the wizard can add? Say it all. Natsuhime said.
"Nope." The wizard said.
"Okay, now that the wizard is done, it's my turn to be a soulless so-called female ghost. The concubine wants everyone to see two people. Xia Ji said, and said to Chang Wei next to her, "Bring those two people up."
Fan Bing and Wu Duo were escorted up.
"In addition to these two people, I want to show you one more thing." As she spoke, Xia Ji ordered the white robe found from Fan Bing's private suitcase to be hung on the rope that had already been hung, and one soldier pulled another tow rope, only to see the robe slide from one end of the rope to the other, and at the same time, the other soldier struck the bamboo with a wooden coffin, making a knocking sound and the shaking sound of the bamboo leaves, which was exactly the same as the ghost that Jing Xia Mansion had seen.
"Everyone has seen it, this thing is the ghost of the Xia Mansion for a few nights, and the two people who started the carbuncle are these two people: Fan Bing and Wu Duo, both of whom have confessed." Natsuhime said.
"But this doesn't mean that there are no real ghosts in Xia Mansion." The wizard discerned.
"Okay, since the wizard calls himself a master ghost hunter and has never missed, let's see what kind of master he is." Natsuhime said to everyone.
"The master casts spells, starting from the valley. May I ask the master, what is Bigu? Natsuki asked the wizard again.
The wizard smiled slightly: "The so-called Bigu is to eat nothing for three days, and still be energetic." When the wizard heard about Xia Ji's Tibi Valley, it was as if he saw everyone's admiring gaze.
"Since you don't eat anything, then I would like to ask the master: when you entered the wooden cage and started to open the valley, the string of large arhat beads hanging around your neck was thirty-six, why were there only thirty when you came out of the wooden cage, and where did those six go?" Xia Ji asked sharply, and then ordered a soldier: "Go, tear off one of his arhat beads, break it and see what it is."
Hearing Xia Ji's words, everyone began to whisper. The wizard's face changed in vain, and his face was sweating - he never dreamed that the details of Bigu, which no one had noticed for decades, would be exposed in public: it turned out that his arhat bead ornament was real food, made of a variety of food secrets.
The soldier tore off an arhat bead from the wizard's neck, broke it and showed it to everyone: it turned out to be really made of grain. The soldier threw the arhat bead next to a dog, and the dog bit it and began to eat it, causing everyone to laugh.
"Although Bigu may be mistaken, then everyone saw the little demon who was killed by me on the oil pot and the desk and the snake demon who was tied to the magic rope." The wizard quibbled.
"Do you want me to reveal all your tricks?" Xia Ji said, and then waved his hand to the two soldiers standing aside, the two soldiers immediately brought a brazier and a pot, poured the oil that had been prepared in the pot, and after burning for a while, the oil pot began to bubble, Xia Ji ordered the two soldiers to put their hands into the pot, the two soldiers put their hands into the pot, and after a while, they raised their hands, and everyone saw that they were unharmed.
Natsuhime told everyone that there was only a layer of oil on top of this pot, and vinegar underneath the oil, and the boiling point of vinegar was low, but the temperature of the hot water began to bubble. At this time, the sweat on the wizard's embarrassed face was even more.
At this time, Natsuhime waved her hand again, and the other two soldiers carried a desk and spread a light-colored linen cloth on it, and brought two bowls with liquid.
Natsuki picked up a brush, dipped it in one of the bowls of water, and wrote a big deception on the linen, and everyone saw that the words she wrote were not displayed, because the water did not have any color.
After writing, Xia Ji picked up another bowl, drank a sip of water, and sprayed it evenly on the linen, only to see a red deception on the linen, Xia Ji calmly told everyone that the water for writing is alkaline water, and she squirted turmeric water, and the two colorless waters turn red when they meet.
Immediately, everyone suddenly realized. At this time, the wizard was already sweating profusely, and he thought to himself that this should be a fellow believer, but Xia Ji had read several modern novels about deception, which had described the whole process of such deception in detail, and many of them were more terrifying than these versions.
Xia Ji took out two more ropes, took out a fire from the brazier next to her and lit it, only to see that the rope burned out at once. Xia Ji took another rope of the same kind, soaked it in brine for a while, then shook it dry and lit it, and the result was that this rope was the same as the wizard's so-called magic rope, which could not be burned at all.
Natsuhime told everyone that the rope that didn't burn was because the rope was soaked in brine.
Before Natsuki could continue to uncover the secret of the wizard's deception of burning a snake on the sackcloth, the wizard was already on his knees, knowing that it had been completely planted in the hands of this woman today.
Uncle Xia Yu was furious, and Chang Wei led people to tie up this liar, his apprentices, and believers who followed him, and sent them to the government.
Fan Bing and Wu Duo were held in the backyard for detailed interrogation in order to dig out the backstage that manipulated them.
