Chapter 127: Soul Pulling Technique
Songshan belongs to the remaining veins of Funiu Mountain, with a radius of thousands of miles, overlooking the Yellow River and Luoshui in the north, Yingshui and Jishan in the south, connecting the Central Plains in the east, and Luoyang in the west.
The scenery here is beautiful, you can see strange peaks and different mountains everywhere, there are many palaces and temples in the mountain, it is known as the first mountain in the Central Plains, and it is also the middle of the five mountains in the world.
Because he was going south alone, Li Zhen did not ride his famous horse Chi Yanxue, but rode an ordinary war horse, and two days later, Li Zhen arrived in Dengfeng County.
Dengfeng County is a middle county, there are thousands of residents in the city, the city is not big, but the business in the county is also prosperous, there are many wine shops and inns, and you can see the scholars and dignitaries who come to Songshan to play everywhere.
Li Zhen led the horse into the north city, and came to an inn that covered a large area, and there were four big characters written on the two-zhang high flag: Tai Room Inn, close to the inn and Tai Room Wine Shop, it seems to be one.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a guy greeted him warmly, "Childe wants to stay in a hotel or eat, there are small shops, the accommodation is clean, the food is delicious, and Bao Gongzi is satisfied." ”
Li Zhen saw that the business in the wine store was good, so he nodded, "Let's stay first!"
Li Zhen asked for an upper room, closed the door, and then took out the paint cylinder from his bag, he opened it on the way, knowing his task, he took out the scroll and looked at it again, on it was Shangguan Wan'er's handwriting, only a short sentence, 'Check out the details of Wei Shifang'.
As for who Wei Shifang was and where he lived, he didn't elaborate, but let him inquire for himself.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, Li Zhen hurriedly put away the scroll, stepped forward to open the door, and saw the guy walking in quickly with a charcoal basin, the charcoal basin had been lit, and there were more than a dozen charcoal next to it, the guy smiled: "The room in our small shop is very well ventilated, there has never been a charcoal fire poisoning incident, and the son does not need to extinguish it at night." ”
"Thank you, little brother, I want to inquire about someone. ”
The guy laughed, "When I saw Childe, I knew that it was the first time I came to Songshan, and although Childe asked, the villain knew everything." ”
Li Zhen pondered and asked, "Do you know who Wei Shifang is?"
The guy's face sank, he didn't even know Wei Zhenren, and he dared to call the real person's name, isn't this playing himself?
He was very unhappy in his heart, turned around and left, Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed him, and took out a handful and stuffed it into his hand in time, "I really don't know, little brother, don't be angry!"
For the sake of money, the man forgave Li Zhen's ignorance a little, he hurriedly closed the door, and asked in surprise: "Gongzi actually doesn't even know the famous Wei Zhenren?"
Li Zhen shook his head, "It's my first time coming to Songshan!"
"No, don't talk about Songshan, even the divine capital Luoyang is known to everyone, and even the whole world knows it, how can Gongzi never hear of it?"
Li Zhen really felt embarrassed, he took out two more gold coins and stuffed them to the guy, "I only came from Dunhuang this summer, I really don't know." ”
"If you only came from Dunhuang in the summer, then it is understandable. ”
The two gold coins made the man's attitude even more pleasant, and he was eager to tell him anything.
"Wei Zhenren is said to have been born in the Chiwu period of the Three Kingdoms, has practiced in Songshan for 500 years, and is already an immortal who has attained the Tao, and was received by the Son of Heaven together with Hanoi Lao Ni this spring. ”
When Li Zhen heard that this Wei Zhenren was five hundred years old, and he was comparable to Hanoi Lao Ni, he immediately felt contempt, he knew that Hanoi Lao Ni was a swaggering old witch, and this Wei Zhenren was probably also a demon.
"And then?"
Wei Zhenren's ghost and god skills impressed the Son of Heaven, praised him for being comparable to Guangchengzi, gave him the surname Wu, and named him Xiangguo, but he only did Xiangguo for a month, and then abandoned the official and returned to Songshan. ”
Li Zhen frowned slightly, this Wei Zhenren was actually given the surname Wu by Wu Zetian, and he was also named Xiangguo, he couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised, if he didn't show some real skills, how could Wu Zetian be named Xiangguo?
Li Zhen asked again, "What spell does he have?"
The guy showed embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't say clearly, it was okay to make it up, but he got the benefits of Li Zhen, and he was embarrassed to make it up.
The guy thought about it and said to Li Zhen: "If the son doesn't go to dinner first, I'll find out the letter and then come to tell the son." ”
Li Zhen saw that it was not early and it was about to get dark, so he got up and said with a smile: "Okay! ”
The wine shop and the inn are one, Li Zhen walked into the wine shop from the back door, the first floor was basically full, and the people were full of people, and it was very lively.
He went up to the second floor again, and there were many people on the second floor, but there were still a few empty tables, so he found an empty table and sat down, ordered four or five dishes, and asked for a pot of wine.
At this moment, the guy just now walked over quickly and whispered to Li Zhen, "Did the boy see the middle-aged man in the red robe by the window?"
Li Zhen picked up the wine glass and looked at the window, only to see a middle-aged man standing by the window, slightly dark-skinned, quite rich-looking, wearing a gauze hat and a saffron robe, occupying a table alone, the table was full of wine and food, he poured himself a drink, but there were four or five domestic servants standing behind him.
The guy continued: "This person's surname is Liu, a native of Bashu Jianzhou, he just went to find Wei Zhenren, and the son might as well talk to him." ”
"That's a bit abrupt!"
"Well, he looked for people everywhere at noon to ask about the situation in Luoyang, but he never asked, isn't Childe from Luoyang? I believe he will be very willing to chat with Childe. ”
Li Zhen nodded, picked up the wine glass and walked up slowly, and said with a smile: "I met Brother Liu again!"
When the middle-aged man saw Li Zhen's strangeness, he couldn't help but be stunned, "You are"
"Li Fan in Luoyang, I saw Brother Liu inquiring about the situation in Luoyang at noon, and it happened that I had something to do at that time, and I couldn't talk to Brother Liu. ”
When the middle-aged man heard that he was coming from Luoyang, he immediately became interested, and immediately got up and said, "I'm Liu Hong from Jianzhou, it turns out that Li Gongzi is from Luoyang, come!
As the man judged, this person surnamed Liu wanted to know about the situation in Luoyang, and when he heard that Li Zhen was coming from Luoyang, he immediately warmly invited Li Zhen to sit with him, and asked the servants to bring Li Zhen's wine and food.
Li Zhen poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Why does Brother Liu want to know about Luoyang in a hurry?"
"Hey! It's a relative of mine who asked me to inquire, I went back to Bashu directly from Nanyang after I finished my errands in Songshan, and I didn't plan to go to Luoyang, so I wanted to inquire about Luoyang here. ”
Li Zhen knew that he actually wanted to inquire, and under the pretense of being a relative, he asked with a smile: "What news does Brother Liu want to inquire about?"
Liu Hong lowered his voice and said, "I heard that King Wei was imprisoned, is this true?"
Li Zhen was stunned, he didn't know about this matter, but he thought about it again, this matter was originally a secret from the DPRK and China, and he would never tell the people the truth, and there were just various rumors in Luoyang, not to mention that he was far away in Bashu, and it was reasonable that this person didn't understand the situation.
Li Zhen nodded, "Wei Guo is indeed imprisoned, but he may be released after the New Year, but his career is over, and he can only spend the rest of his life at home." ”
Li Zhen is telling the truth, Wu Chenghe's detention in the Eagle Dog Fang will not be a long-term solution, Wu Zetiannian may spare him once for the sake of his aunt and nephew, but he will definitely not use him again, so he can only be released.
He smiled again and asked, "Could it be that Brother Liu and King Wei are relatives?"
Liu Hong shook his head in a panic, "It has nothing to do with me, it's my relative, well! He has a little business relationship with King Wei's fake son, and he wants to know about it."
He suddenly felt that there was no need to say so much to Li Zhen, he immediately closed his mouth, and after a while, he poured Li Zhen a glass of wine, and then changed the topic, "Is Li Gongzi here to play in Songshan?"
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I am here to find immortals, it is said that there is a Wei Zhenren immortal in Songshan who has boundless immortal skills, and I came here." ”
Liu Hong smiled, "It's not as boundless as the immortal technique, but his soul pulling technique is indeed wonderful, and it is said that even the Son of Heaven has experienced it himself." ”
Li Zhen immediately asked with interest: "What kind of soul pulling technique, can Brother Liu tell me?"
"This"
Liu Hong thought about it, and felt that there was no obstacle to talking about it, and he just happened to report back to the other party about the situation of King Wei, so he lowered his voice and said: "This Wei Zhenren has the art of gods and ghosts, he can invite the souls of his deceased relatives to meet you, and even invite the spirits of the ancestors, this is called soul pulling technique!"
Li Zhen pretended to be surprised and said, "There is still such an immortal technique, is it effective?"
"Why is it not effective, many people have experienced it personally, and they are convinced to pay, it is very expensive! ”
"Isn't this going to make a fortune?"
At least five rich people in Jianzhou have tried it, and they only charge a deposit of ten taels first, and then pay the remaining ninety taels after seeing the souls of their relatives. ”
"What if you don't see the soul and refuse to give it?" Li Zhen asked with a smile again.
Liu Hong sneered, "This is called not knowing whether to live or die, there was such a person in Guanzhong last year, who found all kinds of excuses and refused to pay, but Wei Zhenren pasted the soul talisman on the door of his house, and overnight, the whole family died silently. ”
Liu Hong let out a long sigh, and said: "Even the saint praises Wei Zhenren as Guangchengzi, and some people who didn't believe in him originally have to believe it, it is said that his price has risen to one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and he must pay Wei Zhen at one time before he is willing to cast spells, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, that is one thousand five hundred yuan!"
This Liu Hong traveled thousands of miles to Songshan, just to find Wei Zhenren to perform soul pulling techniques, he can see his son who has been dead for ten years again, but he is really reluctant to pay this money, so he has been in a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind after living here for three days.
Li Zhen has completely understood, if what Liu Hong said is true, it shows at least the following two points:
First, this Wei Zhenren has a very hard backstage, so after he borrowed the soul talisman to kill people, the government did not dare to ask.
Second, the real purpose of this Wei Zhenren's spell is to collect money.
In other words, it was his backstage who used the so-called soul pulling technique to collect money, and entering the palace to face the saint was just to gild him and deceive more people to come to him.
This also shows that the backstage of this Wei Zhenren is the person next to Wu Zetian, so who will it be? Li Zhen felt that the answer was already coming out
