Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Deception Revealed
As soon as Master Yi's words fell, the mirror-holding monk turned the bronze mirror in his hand to everyone.
"Babbling ......"
There was a creepy shrill female voice in the mirror, which seemed to cry but not cry, seemed to laugh but not laugh, and sounded extremely uncomfortable.
Cao Lina's legs were weak, and almost the whole person was lying on Sun Yan's shoulders, and her mother was even more like chaff, "That's it!" Cao's mother hid behind Cao's father, and shouted in a trembling voice: "My son was killed by this terrible ghost." ”
Sun Yan took a look, on the smooth and smoothed mirror, a portrait had been clearly displayed at this moment, it seemed to be a terrifying-looking and grotesque puppet, although it was not colored, but it was also painted vividly, and it seemed even more strange in the woman's crying and laughing.
Sun Yan helped Cao Lina to stand up, and seemed to be frightened by the ghost in the mirror, and deliberately or unintentionally hid near the door.
"What do you see, senior brother?" Master Yi asked the monk who had first lit the incense in the language of an unknown ethnic group.
The monk looked at Master Yi suspiciously, and then, in his encouraging gaze, said solemnly: "The grapes of Turpan are ripe, and Anarhan's heart is drunk. ”
"He said it was terrible." Master Yi translated for everyone: "My senior brother suspects that the Tongzhi Empress Arut clan was killed by this thing, and it is now in your house, and it must be found." ”
"Then please, Master." Father Cao touched his forehead, which was not sweating, but he was thinking that even the queen could be killed, and it seemed that the money was not unjustly spent.
Master Yi nodded, and the mirror-holding monk buckled the bronze mirror again and stepped aside. At this time, the last monk immediately picked up the painting from the table and showed it to the public, but it was a portrait of a guiding immortal.
In the picture, the immortal stretches out his right arm sideways, level with his shoulder, and his gaze falls on his fingertips, so that the two points can be connected into a straight line, indicating the direction precisely.
The monk grasped the portrait in one hand, his lips twitched, and after Master Yi lit a yellow talisman, he began to walk around the room. When he circled twice and stopped near the window, the monk with his back to the crowd suddenly stopped.
"Found it!"
As soon as Master Yi's words fell, the monk turned around, and everyone was surprised to find that the right arm of the immortal in the painting had been turned into a left arm, and his fingers and eyes had all fallen diagonally, pointing directly to the small area at the junction between the roof and the wall.
"God!" Cao's father was completely convinced, and Cao's mother also folded her hands and kept chanting Buddha.
"Brother Cao," Master Yi said to Father Cao, "Since my senior brother has found the hiding place of the evil thing, I am afraid that we will have to break this wall to verify it." ”
"Okay, I'll go get the tools." As he spoke, Father Cao took a claw hammer, stepped on the chair, and under the guidance of Master Yi, only two hammers chiseled a small hole in the wall, just like the chimney hole reserved by people in the old days.
"Mom!"
Cao Lina was already hugging her mother. A small bowl came out of the hole in the wall, and inside it was suspected that the blood-like object had long congealed into lumps, and in the middle lay an extremely hideous rag puppet, exactly the same as what everyone had just seen in the bronze mirror. It's no wonder that Cao Lina's mother and daughter are afraid, that thing is too ugly.
"Master Yi, who did this?" Father Cao asked with horror and anger.
"It depends on who you have offended, it seems that this thing has been left for several years, and I am afraid it is not easy to trace it again, even if you call the police, it will definitely be useless. If it weren't for my senior brother this time, Brother Cao, you would ......"
"Master Yi, we really haven't had such a deep hatred with anyone." Cao's mother cried.
"That's it!" Master Yi sighed, "Help people to the end, not to mention that I also hate such a vicious person, so I simply ask my senior brother to do something to get rid of this person." ”
"Yes, yes, Master Yi, you must not let this person go." Father Cao gritted his teeth and said.
Sun Yan stared at Father Cao, sighed secretly, and was thinking about whether he had made a mistake, but heard a strange noise outside the door.
"Babbling ......"
The four monks looked at the bronze mirror in unison, because the sound of crying and laughing was exactly the same as the portrait in the mirror just now.
Master Yi, who was about to continue to instruct the monks to burn the puppets, changed his face greatly after hearing the laughter, but before he could react, Sun Yan, who was standing at the door, had already raised his hand to open the door.
The only thing that came through the door was a short man with a small tape recorder around his neck, and the sound of babbling and laughter was still wafting from the tape recorder.
"Who are you? How dare you dare to disrupt the Dharma! Master Yi had already lost his usual calmness, and in a panic, he was about to step forward and push people out of the door. But who would have thought that this man was so powerful that he put Master Yi to the ground with just one hand.
"Yi Cheng, what you said is strange, didn't you invite me here?" The man spoke in a strange manner as he walked to the table, picked up the clasped bronze mirror and gently twung it on the knob behind it.
"Babbling babbling ......" The crying and laughter sounded again.
The four monks looked at each other, and they actually ran away from the door at the same time, not only did they not care about Master Yi, but they didn't even care about collecting the things on the table.
"You ......," Master Yi sat on the floor and raised his hand weakly.
Sun Yan didn't stop the monks, and when they all ran out of the door, he slowly closed the door again.
"Let's talk about it." Sun Yan leaned his back against the door and looked at Master Yi with a smile.
Cao's father and Cao's mother were confused by what was happening in front of them, looking at this, and then looking at that, they were a little overwhelmed. Cao Lina had already guessed something, and walked over to Sun Yan and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Cao Lina looks good, and there is another style in the panic at the moment, Sun Yan saw it in his eyes, and the casual mistake was committed again, and he couldn't help but scratch the bridge of someone's nose, "What do you say?" ”
Cao Lina took two steps back, peeked at her parents, and saw that her parents' attention was not here at all, so she was a little relieved and glared at Sun Yan fiercely.
At this time, Master Yi had already stood up, he quickly regained his composure, stared at Sun Yan and said, "Thirty-year-old lady is a child, boy, I really didn't see you coming." But I advise you, right and wrong are just to be strong. ”
Saying that, he turned to Father Cao and said: "Brother Cao, this person must be my companion, you have seen it just now, my senior brother has used real kung fu, and now that the Dharma has been completed, the Dharma King summoned my senior brother to return quickly, so he has no general knowledge with him, he is obviously here to stir up the situation." ”
"This ......" Cao's father ran out of ideas. Sun Yan pointed to the man with the tape recorder hanging on his body and said, "Master Yi, do you recognize this person?" ”
"Hmph, how could I know such a person!"
The man was not happy, and his neck straightened and said, "Yi Cheng, Master Yi!" Why didn't you admit the call you made to me last night? ”
Yi Cheng stared at him fiercely, but he couldn't answer.
"Uncle, aunt," Sun Yan nodded to Cao Lina's parents, "I'll talk about it." The man who followed him pointed to the tape recorder and said: "Two years ago, when you were renovating the house, you were targeted by Yi Cheng, and he instructed this man to contract the greasy work in your house at a lower price, and then took the opportunity to build that toy into the wall, and also equipped the house key." ”
"Oh, I said he looked familiar." Cao Mu interjected.
Yi Cheng listened quietly and did not refute, Sun Yan continued: "It's still this person, more than a month ago, he started pretending to be a ghost to scare you. He would climb up to the roof of the building at night, put a tape recorder with the ghost screams out of your bedroom window, and sneak into the house while you were out, throw in the carcasses of small animals, and smear blood on the walls. ”
"That's right, it's all this Yicheng who told me to do it." The man patted his chest and confessed, and lost no time in pressing the tape recorder, using the sound of crying and laughter to strengthen his persuasiveness.
"What about my son's illness?" Father Cao asked.
"This is the third step of the plan," Sun Yan smiled faintly, and said to Yi Cheng again, "Master Yi, did you say this or did I say this?" Why don't you interact with it? ”
Yi Cheng snorted coldly, Sun Yan glanced at the short man, and the man spoke: "This is a trick made by Yi Cheng and Doctor Zhao, then Doctor Zhao does have some skills in medicine, he synthesizes poisons such as mandala or belladonna into incense, let me light it at night and hang it outside his window when your child is not closing the window, within three days, your son's spirit will be in a state of condition, and ordinary hospitals will not be able to find it without doing toxicity testing." ”
"I, I'll kill you." Father Cao was about to get the claw hammer that had just been placed on the coffee table, but was stopped by Mother Cao and said, "Listen to Master Xiaosun first." ”
Sun Yan smiled, he knew that even if Cao's mother didn't stop him, Cao's father didn't have the strength, "Auntie is right." After they drugged Ling Lang, Dr. Zhao would take the initiative to contact you, saying that he had heard a colleague from the hospital talk about this disease by chance, and he happened to be able to treat it. Later, you can also think of it, he will make Ling Lang's condition better, and when you trust him, you will take the opportunity to lure out Master Yi. ”
"Am I right, Master Yi?" Sun Yan smiled at Yi Cheng again: "I almost scared you the day before yesterday, I couldn't figure out how a small defilement talisman could be dissolved in water, it turned out that it was soaked in medicinal solution in advance and then dried. ”
Yi Cheng looked at Sun Yan in surprise, "Can you recognize the filthy talisman?" ”
Cao's mother asked suspiciously, "Master Xiaosun, since they made a good deal two years ago, why did they wait until now to harm us?" ”
Sun Yan glanced at Yi Cheng, "That's because it seems more real, more like a supernatural event, and at the same time, it won't make you suspicious." Again, you are by no means the only victims, and it is relatively safer for them to prevent you from reporting the crime by doing so. ”
Cao Lina looked at Sun Yan with a little more brilliance in her eyes, raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know this?" ”
