Chapter 37: Strategizing (Seeking Collection)
The four women said goodbye to Gu Yiqiu, and there were only two flower thieves and Gu Yiqiu left in the whole room.
Gu Yiqiu said lightly: "I don't want to talk to you rats! How should you confess to the people in the village tomorrow morning, you don't need me to teach you, right?"
"No, no, this master, we must all confess tomorrow. The two flower thieves also saw that the man in front of them was a ruthless character, and they dared not listen to this man.
Gu Yiqiu nodded with satisfaction, then took out two talismans, walked towards the two, and said with a smile: "I wish you all a good dream." ”
"You... You're a stranger!"
The two flower thieves couldn't help but scream when they saw the two talisman seals that Gu Yiqiu took out of his satchel.
"Do you have any opinions?" Gu Yiqiu said casually.
"No... No comments..."
"Since it's okay, just lie there and don't move. Gu Yiqiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two flower thieves, and directly pasted two talismans on the foreheads of the two.
pinched and chanted the mantra, and the two of them were motionless.
But the two of them kept chattering, which made Gu Yiqiu very irritable.
casually took two rags from the outhouse, blocked them on the mouths of the two, and then left in style.
"Yiqiu, how are things going. ”
As soon as Gu Yiqiu entered the tent, Li Yuantang stepped forward and asked.
Gu Yiqiu smiled slightly: "Tomorrow, you just wait to watch a good show." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuantang breathed a sigh of relief, and without asking any more questions, he returned to his inflatable bed to rest.
The trouble of the flower thief was temporarily solved, and Gu Yiqiu also slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, Gu Yiqiu, Li Yuantang and a group of eight people came to the office of the village committee.
The four bodyguards stayed outside, and Zhao Ningzhi and the three followed Gu Yiqiu into the office room.
Zhao Ningzhi and Li Yuantang had both seen Gu Yiqiu's methods, and when Gu Yiqiu took off the talismans on the foreheads of the two flower thieves, the bodies of the two flower thieves were able to move, and the two were not surprised.
But this hand shocked Zhang Caimei, and Gu Yiqiu's eyes and attitude towards him became more respectful.
Eight people escorted two flower thieves to the mouth of the well where they came yesterday, and along the way, the villagers saw the two 'masters', and they all smiled and greeted each other, knowing that yesterday these two masters said that they would solve the trouble of the water ghosts today, so they followed one by one.
Other villagers went to the village chief's house and informed the village chief.
At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the well, Gu Yiqiu and others, and the two flower thieves were standing on the edge of the well.
After a while, the village chief also walked over from a distance, and was a little surprised to see Gu Yiqiu beside the two 'masters'.
Gu Yiqiu saw that the villagers had almost arrived, so he said coldly to the two flower thieves: "Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and confess to the villagers of Mentou Village!"
"You are angry, you are angry!"
After knowing that Gu Yiqiu was from Qimen, where did these two flower thieves dare to make a mistake, and the two knelt on the ground in unison under the puzzled eyes of the villagers.
The middle-aged man with the goatee first apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! We deceived everyone, we are not Taoist priests at all, we don't know any spells, and we can't catch ghosts! We... Our true identity is actually that of flower thieves. ”
Hearing this, the villagers were all stunned, and they all looked at the two masters kneeling on the ground in disbelief.
"Two... Two masters, don't laugh anymore, if you two don't know how to spell, how can you burn a water ghost in a well with Samadhi True Fire yesterday. The village chief asked the doubts in the hearts of the villagers.
Hearing this, the two flower thieves looked at each other and glanced at Gu Yiqiu in fear.
"The village chief asks you! Say whatever you have to say, what do you want me to do?"
The two smiled bitterly, seeing Gu Yiqiu's attitude, if they didn't tell the truth, their lives would be difficult to protect.
Then the goatee's companion spoke, "Village Chief, the flame on our fingers is not a true flame of samadhi at all, but just an ordinary flame!"
Hearing this, the villagers began to be agitated, and some villagers who had already seen the clues were staring at the two flower thieves viciously at the moment.
"But why do flames appear out of thin air on your fingers?"
Hearing a villager's inquiry, the middle-aged man with a goatee sighed and explained, "Alas... That's because we have camphor powder on one side and phosphorus and sulfur on the other side in the two pockets of our robes.
Before reciting the mantra, dip the two fingers of the right hand in the flammable sulfur and phosphorus in the pocket, and then dip the camphor powder in the other pocket after the mantra is finished.
Flammable sulfur and phosphorus burn as soon as they come into contact with volatile camphor powder, and they don't hurt your fingers. As for the wine that I was spraying in my mouth at that time, as soon as the flame came into contact with the wine, this is also the reason why the flame can rise to the top. It's not caused by the burning water ghosts!"
"Flower thieves! You are really flower thieves!"
"You two hateful flower thieves, it's so hard to deceive our village!"
"My daughter has been ruined by you two brutes!
...
All the villagers angrily rushed to the two flower thieves and punched and kicked them in the face. Gu Yiqiu and his party were watching the excitement from the sidelines.
"Little Brother Gu, these two flower thieves simply deserve it!"
Zhao Ningzhi came to Gu Yiqiu's side and watched the two scum being beaten, with a look of joy on his face.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and they are to blame for everything. ”
By the time the villagers finished beating the two, they had only half a life left, several teeth had fallen out, and their faces were swollen like pigs' heads. Coupled with the collapsed bridge of the nose, the whole face became the scene of the car accident.
Gu Yiqiu also stood up at this time, and raised his voice to say to the villagers who were still insulting the flower pickers: "Fellow villagers, these two people have committed extremely heinous crimes, and even if they are killed, they will not be able to repay their crimes! If you can trust us, we, outsiders, are willing to bring these two people to justice for the villagers, I don't know what the villagers think?"
As soon as Gu Yiqiu's words fell, a villager said angrily: "Who knows if you outsiders, this is in league with these two flower thieves!"
"That's it, folks, they're probably in a group! We can't let them go..."
The emotions of the villagers are now on the verge of anger, and several strong villagers have already begun to roll up their arms and sleeves, ready to start making a move against Gu Yiqiu and them.
"These villagers are simply unreasonable! Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Even Zhang Caimei, who is well-cultivated, frowned at this moment.
Gu Yiqiu didn't care, and looked at the few villagers who were about to step forward with a smile.
"It's all at this time, little brother Gu, you are still smiling, your heart is really big. Zhao Ningzhi saw Gu Yiqiu's breezy expression, and he didn't have a good air.
Gu Yiqiu shook his head and smiled: "It's not that you have a big heart, it's... In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away!"
