Chapter 21 (Clever Tongue) The three-inch world is free to move
The two jailers merely collected the bodies of the prisoners, ignored the cries of the prisoners, and went out with torches. The jailer who came in with food picked up a thick stick from the wall and slammed it on the pillar: "Quiet! Shut up for me! Whoever speaks again, there is no food to eat today!"
The meal was a big deal, and all the prisoners didn't dare to worry about their stomachs, so they quieted down. Not to mention the rough food in the prison, the portion is still very small, only enough to hang his life. A prisoner who has been hungry for a long time, has lost so much weight that he has lost his skin and bones, and if he doesn't eat a meal, he can really kill people.
The jailer was so pleased with the horror of the crowd that he put his torch into the iron ring in the wall, and began to distribute the food from the innermost part.
Starting from Hu Buwei's prison, the jailer raised his eyes and saw a thick earthen pillar standing in the cell, as high as two people, reaching the top of the cell, and was surprised: "What is this? How did it come about?" The prisoners looked at each other, but no one answered him.
It was the earthen pillar that Hu had summoned out in horror last night, and the shape and size were already more than ten times larger than the earthen pillar he was accustomed to practicing. This is the effect of the centipede Neidan. That centipede has been cultivating for more than 600 years, which is worth the cultivation power of the mage for six or seven years. Hu Buwei didn't know the method of transformation, and wasted a lot, but Rao was like this, and he still obtained three or four years of penance mana. Seeing that this earthen pillar was so huge, he was puzzled in his heart, and thought that it was still like last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the soil control technique used under the sudden change of mood was more effective.
When asked, Hu Buwei replied tremblingly: "It's me...... Get it out. The jailer looked at Hu Buwei with a look of disbelief on his face, and he didn't see anything unusual, and said, "How did you get it out?" Of course, he didn't expect that the unremarkable man in front of him was actually a mage with several years of mana.
Before the answer was finished, the rest of the prisoners in the prison had already begun to clamor: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Eat quicklyβyou're starving to death!" When the jailer heard this, he shouted: "Shut up! I won't be hungry for a while! A bunch of scum can't do anything else, and I eat more than anyone else!" He turned his head, kicked the prison pillar, and said angrily to Hu Buwei's fellow prisoners: "You guys! Eat quickly, Hurry up! Take your clothes and hold your clothes!" Although this earthen pillar is strange, he has been a jailer here for a long time, and he has never encountered any strange things? He didn't pay attention to it at the moment, urging everyone to take their clothes and take their food.
The more than 20 prisoners who were in the same prison as Hu Buwei had been arrested in the past two days, and they were depressed and had little appetite. Only five or six hungry people went to pick it up. Hu Buwei didn't eat for a day and a night, he was hungry, and he wanted to get some. But when I saw a handful of juicy rice from a few men's pockets, the sour smell was sour and disgusting, so how could I have any appetite? When I saw a few fat cockroaches in the rice food, I was even more disgusted and my stomach and intestines twitched. Holding Hu Tan, he avoided the side, no longer looking at the miserable situation of them frowning and picking rice.
Other cells are not so picky eaters. Stinky soup and stinky rice, eat with relish. They spent a long time in their cells, and often endured hunger, not to mention leftovers, rats and cockroaches, which were all delicious things in their eyes.
After a quarter of an hour, the food was distributed. There were more than a dozen prisoners who did not receive food, crying and begging, but the jailer ignored them and went out with empty buckets.
A moment later, two jailers took turns checking the prison last night and walked in with a smile. When the prisoners saw this, they shouted in unison: "My lord, my lord, I want to change prisons!"
"Change prisons?" both jailers were stunned, obviously not expecting to hear such a strange request.
"What prison?"
An old man with a face covered in black mud had a huge voice, stretched out a black and thin hand and pointed at Hu Buwei's cell: "I want to go to the innermost cell, and if you are kind, you will definitely be rewarded." β
All the prisoners shouted, "I'll go too!"
"My lord, I still have two pieces of money here, so please make it convenient for the adults to transfer the villain to the innermost cell. "It's tempting.
"My lord, for the sake of the old woman's old age and lack of a few years to live, let me go to the innermost cell, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless the two adults with a long life and many children and grandchildren. "It's emotional.
"The two adults are very popular, heroic, and they will be people in the future, if the adults are willing to do the villain a favor, the villain still has some friends outside, maybe it will help the future of the adults. "It's a matter of knowing what's at stake.
"My lord is so handsome and extraordinary, fair-hearted, kind-hearted, and rescues from danger, it is Guanyin Bodhisattva who has descended to earth...... "This is sycophant nonsense.
For a time, more than 100 prisoners in the prison pleaded with threats at the same time. Everyone was eager to change to the innermost cell, and the two jailers made the second monk confused, and they didn't know what happened to these prisoners, so they were all united in their hearts. They didn't know that last night, Master Hu lit a fireball to drive away the dead, resisted until dawn, and shocked all the prisoners. Everyone wanted to be in the same cell with him, and with the protection of a powerful mage, the ghosts could not get close, so they were naturally much safer.
Puzzled, the two of them went to the inner cell to take a look, and saw the huge earthen pillar, and were taken aback at the same time.
"What is this? Who did it?"
Hu Buwei scratched his head and said, "It's me...... Accidentally got it. "The two jailers changed color, this man is actually a magician, but I can't tell it. The two of them secretly rejoiced, fortunately they didn't embarrass him too much last night, otherwise they wouldn't provoke him to get angry, but there would be no good fruit to eat. Shocked, the two of them put away their arrogance and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the mage was also sent here, alas...... Our two brothers are also acting on orders, eating together, and if there is any offense, please bear with the master. "Hu Buwei is quite special for the prisoners in this prison, and he is not a criminal who has been locked up for a long time. As soon as the order from above arrives, the person must be released. Naturally, the two jailers did not dare to treat people with martial arts and spells like Jiang Yang thieves who were sentenced to death.
He was originally a charlatan, and he was the most observant of his face, and he heard the two of them politely, and he also smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the two chiefs are conscientious and admirable, how can there be any opinions in the next place, the two adults please act cheaply, and they will definitely obey in the next place." β
When the two jailers saw that he was so humble, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they had a good impression of the mage in front of them. The jailers and officials are all ordered to act, and they have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and they are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder. The two of them saw that Hu Buwei was profound, and what was even more rare was that he was very polite and polite, and they both accepted it. A jailer approached the post and whispered, "Thank you for your understanding, alas, this errand is the most offensive, and we can't do it, or we would have changed to a worry-free profession a long time ago...... Well, this ...... If the mage needs anything, please feel free to tell me, as long as it is not too public, our brothers can help you run errands, carry a letter or anything. β
When Hu Buwei heard about it, he was about to thank him politely, but at a glance, he saw Hu Tan's little face with tears on his little face and fell asleep again. His heart moved, and he hurriedly smiled: "Ah, thank you for the kindness of the two adults, there is really an uninvited feeling...... It's not a difficult thing to do, and you have to rely on the help of two adults. β
The two jailers complained bitterly in their hearts, but their faces were extremely sincere, and they arched their hands together: "Master, please say, as long as you are not too embarrassed, we will definitely think of something to do it for you." Having said that, I had already made up my mind to shirk it, as long as things were more troublesome, the two of them went out for a spin, and came back to find an excuse and passed it perfunctorily.
"My child hasn't eaten for two days, so I'm bothering the two adults to see which prison has a sister-in-law who feeds the toddler, and do a good job of letting the child have a meal. β
When the two of them heard this, they put down their hearts and smiled: "This thing is easy to do, the mage ordered it, how could our brothers not obey." "Disciplining a prisoner is their forte, and if they give him a favor, why not?
As soon as the words fell, dozens of women's voices sounded in more than a dozen cells at the same time: "My lord, my lord, I have milk, let me go." "When the nurse heard that the mage's son wanted a nurse, she rushed to be the first to recommend herself, and she didn't need two jailers to force her.
"I just gave birth last month, and I have a lot of milk, so let me go. β
"My milk has been fed to Sun Chengfu and Sun Yuanwai's daughter, it is sweet and fragrant, and it is kept so that the little boy can eat it satisfactorily. β
After a lot of noise, everyone praised their sweet and abundant milk. The two jailers were secretly surprised that they had selected three young women and sent them to Hu Buwei Prison. The three women happily fished in, and without further words, they undressed and fed Hu Tan. They consciously escaped from danger, and they were all very happy in their hearts, and it was a great luck to breastfeed the mage's son, so how could they have any opinions.
Hu Tan was so hungry that he sucked hard with his round eyes, and in just a moment, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Hu Buwei was happy to see his son eating, and he was also moved. Just as he was sighing, he heard a person outside the prison door shouting: "Zhang Feng, Chen Shichao, and Vice Qian are going to interrogate the prisoners sent last night!" The deputy Dutong Qian went to Sang Nong's house yesterday to look for treasures, but he didn't even find a golden retriever, and in a fit of anger, he wanted to torture Hu Buwei that night. However, the prison was not very peaceful, and he did not dare to enter it. I had to endure it all night. When he woke up this morning, he led his subordinates to the cell to pick up people, and he was bound to torture him so that the scheming dog thief could tell the truth.
When Zhang Chen and the two jailers heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, so they came over and opened the prison door, and said to Hu Buwei: "The mage is invited, Lord Dutong wants to ask you for questioning, please forgive the mage." β
Walking out of the corridor with the two, there was a bright light in front of him. Hu Buwei frowned, put his hands in front of his forehead, and waited for the handover of several people to be completed, and let a forbidden soldier escort him into the secret room.
Yesterday, the deputy capital of Qian was walking around in the room, and he was anxious. As soon as he saw Hu Buwei coming in, he rushed forward and grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, and shouted: "Dog thief, where have you hidden your treasures? Directly in front of him, Hu Buwei was shocked.
"Treasure, what treasure?" Hu Buwei looked confused, and he didn't know where this question came from. When he was arrested yesterday, he was in a delirious state when Dan Li's heart was attacking, how could he remember what happened, and he was stunned when he was suddenly asked. Seeing that the money was all denied by him, he was furious: "Fuck! In front of Lao Tzu's fiery eyes, you still dare to deny the quibble!" The fat face twitched, and he lifted the horsewhip from the small wooden table against the wall, and whipped his head at Hu Buwei.
Hu Buwei was shocked, and when he saw that the leather whip was coming quickly, he quickly shrank his head to dodge. The whip snapped on his shoulder, and it was as hot as if it had been burned by coals. Hu Buwei was in pain, 'Wow!' screamed, snot and tears came out, and he quickly retreated, leaning against the wall and reaching out to rub the sore spot. The pain of this whipping is much worse than that of a knife and stick, Hu Buwei has never encountered it, he only feels that it spreads from the shoulder line to the left back of the waist, it is painful and spicy, and it is difficult to deserve it.
"Say!Where is the treasure?!" Vice Qian took a step forward, and the leather whip flicked again. Hu Buwei's heart was shocked, and when he saw a black shadow like a spirit snake shaking in front of him, he squatted down violently, and the leather whip fell short and slammed on the wall.
"My lord, I have something to say, don't do it yet!" Hu Buwei shouted for opening his mouth, got up and avoided the other corner. The whipping was so painful to the bone marrow that he would not dare to suffer a second time under any circumstances. Vice Qian said angrily: "If you tell me the whereabouts of the treasure, I won't whip you." β
Hu Buwei mourned: "My lord, I really don't have any treasures...... Seeing the deputy capital and raising his eyebrows, he quickly changed his words: "There was originally some money, and a few days ago, Master Su Buyu Su gave me a few ingots of gold...... But...... But...... The thieves stole it, and now I don't have a penny on me...... Don't be angry, my lords, I'm ...... Go and ask Master Su again, maybe he will give me some more. β
"Dogs are thin-skinned and light-boned, I don't know my own weight, just rely on you, and you can cheat Master Su's silver?" Vice Qian Dutong sneered, "Master Su's family has a big business, and there are countless Zhuang Ding nursing homes, what can you steal from this dog thief!" He decided that Hu Buwei was a thief, and he would never have expected that this person in front of him was actually a guest of Master Su.
"No, no, no, my lord, you misunderstood, I treated Mrs. Su, and Mr. Su rewarded me with silver, not stealing. β
The one all shouted with a dumbfounded eye: "Bastard! You are still talking nonsense! It seems that if you are not punished severely, you will not tell the truth!" He turned to the door and shouted, "Come on, tie me up this shit-headed liar!"
At the door, two soldiers walked in, one on the left and one on the right, coming from both sides to arrest Hu Buwei. Hu Buwei shouted again and again, struggling hard, how could he resist the two righteous and powerful men, and in just a moment, he was tied to the wooden pillar in the room with his hands cut back. Vice President Qian ordered the fire and torture equipment to be erected and Hu Buwei's clothes were pulled open.
I watched as fireworks rolled up a stove in front of me, and many sparks swirled up to the roof with the smoke. More than a dozen strange torture instruments that had never been seen before were placed on the table, with cone chisels and hammer saws, all available, and those things made of black iron were instantly burned red and translucent, and the scorching meaning could be felt from a distance. Hu Buwei broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, but he didn't know how these people were going to deal with him.
Seeing that he turned pale with fright, he was very satisfied, approached, lifted a thin and long iron cone, and forced it in front of Hu Buwei: "This is called 'sacrificial gentleman', stabbing it, it is very enjoyable, so that you would rather give up your life than suffer a second time." Hu Buwei's eyelids moved, and his heart was terrified, how could such a red and sharp thing pierce into the flesh? He looked at the ugly thing in horror, and his heart was pounding. The deputy commander of Qian was not in a hurry to stab him like this, took the 'sacrificial gentleman' back, and picked up another one, which was a thick iron chain with spikes on it.
"This is '100,000 yuan of wealth', wrapped around the waist, in less than a quarter of an hour, your skin and flesh will be swollen as if you have been wrapped in 100,000 yuan of silver, rich and expensive, hahahaha, do you want to come here?" Seeing Hu Buwei shaking his head desperately, the fat man was extraordinarily proud, such a game of cat and mouse, tried and tested, and extremely enjoyable. As the saying goes, "Fighting people is fun." "Especially when fighting wits and strength with these cunning people, seeing them scared out of their guts, it is really pleasant to feel in my heart.
Picking up a few strange torture tools to scare Hu Buwei, Qian Deputy Dutong felt happy enough, satisfied, raised a soldering iron with a flat tip like a spatula, and smiled at Hu Buwei: "This is called 'don't beg for mercy', it is specially used to burn the skin and flesh of prisoners, so use it to punish you." Cool off, make sure you remember it for the rest of your life!" slowly approached Hu Buwei's chest.
Seeing that the red iron block was getting closer and closer, and the hot breath hit his chest and abdomen, Hu Buwei screamed for Zhang Huang, and couldn't help but twist his hands and legs to escape. But the cowhide rope soaked in cold water was tougher than wire, and he couldn't move at all. A dry smell of smoke rushed up to his nose, Hu Buwei was dizzy in his brain, and under the shock, Fu Ling's heart was so happy that many spells flashed in his head. Fire spells, flying blade spells, earth spells, those sentences that he had memorized by heart were like shining fire words branded in black iron, clearly and urgently impacting his heart. The aura in the body was flipped, surging and impacting between the five palaces, following the endless circulation of the qi veins.
"Ahh
"Karon!", the house shook, and the sound of 'poof' was heard endlessly, and the heavy bluestone bricks paved on the ground crumbled and overturned, and more than ten wooden barrel-thick bamboo shoots rushed to squeeze each other, and burst out, and the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, and a small number was stirred to the roof, and under the pressure of two forces, it collapsed into pieces of wood. The heavy furnace was slammed from the bottom by a bamboo shoot, and with a dull sound of the wind, it flew to the side, and the hot charcoal scattered like red hailstones, hitting the walls and the ground, bursting out of sparks.
A few officials did not know what had happened, and heard the noise and charcoal fire, and in just a moment, the scenery of the room changed, and it became a strange place with earthen pillars, and in front of and behind them, all stood yellow-brown hard cone of earth. Just when he couldn't figure out the situation, a late-growing earthen pillar stabbed out leisurely, and with a 'thud!', it hit the tail vertebrae of Qian and Vice Capital.
Vice Qian Dutong screamed, hugged his hips and jumped up sharply, jumping straight out of more than two feet, his mouth and nose were open, and the sobs flowed. It's hard for him to have such a fat body, but he is so agile and flying like an ape. It can be seen that when people are in an emergency, they can often accomplish many difficult things. The two soldiers were panicking when they saw Lord Dutong's buttocks, and suddenly, the bright light entered their eyes, and more than ten swollen fireballs suddenly appeared in the air, and the three balls gathered in a circle and rotated rapidly. One of the soldiers got too close to dodge and was hit in the head by a ball of fire. With a bang!' sound, the fireworks suddenly brightened and dispersed, the fireball was extinguished, but his hair burned and his face was blackened.
"Monsters! Monsters are out! Help! It's haunted again!" Ignoring the sharp pain in his buttocks, he walked like a fly to the door. The mansion compound has been quite strange in recent days, how could he not know that he has encountered such an abrupt and strange thing now, needless to say, it must be a monster causing chaos.
When the two soldiers heard his shout, their faces dried with fright, and they shouted in unison and fled after him. The three of them hurriedly pulled out the latch and jumped out, but they almost collided with a soldier at the door.
"Deputy Commander, the left-behind lord has an order, let you take a few people to Goolan in the west of the city to arrest the suspect. The soldier saw that it was the commander and reported it. Vice President Qian was stunned, how could he have the heart to handle any case, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the left-behind adult, so he strengthened his spirit and ordered the little soldier to close the door tightly and bring his own soldiers and horses to do things. This place is dangerous, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, and Lord Qian is definitely not willing to wait to die under the dangerous wall and wait to die in a haunted house. As for the unlucky prisoner in the room, let him resign himself to fate, who let him not listen to the good words and persuasion of Lord Qian, and refuse to tell the truth about the whereabouts of the treasure.
The door of the secret room was locked, and several soldiers fled in panic like lost dogs, and in a moment, there was silence outside the door.
Hearing the voices gradually stopped, Hu Buwei's mood slowly calmed down. Seeing the mess in front of him, he was also puzzled in his heart. Could it be that these stout pillars of earth were really summoned by him? How could it be possible? When he used to use the soil control technique, he only made a few small stool-like dirt bags, but in just a few days, how could they suddenly grow so huge? Those fireballs were also average, more than ten times larger than before, and he was startled when he saw them just now. Don't...... Is this the benefit of the centipede Neidan? Hu Buwei was overjoyed, and vaguely remembered the scene of the surging aura when the right person was in danger, as if there was an endless warm current all over his body, and he was extremely happy and comfortable, which was a wonderful environment that he had never experienced.
In the excitement, he still remembered about him, closed his eyes and thought, and wanted to make a few more earth pillars to verify it.
After chanting the mantra, the ground in front of him floated, like quicksand, and those bluestone fragments sank one after another. Hu Buwei shouted: "Get up!" Before the words fell, fifteen or sixteen earthen cones burst out, thick and huge, and sure enough, they were the same as those before. Hu Buwei laughed and shouted: "I succeeded!hahahaha!I finally know how to spell!heheheha!"Under the joy, the laughter was extremely strange. It's a shame that this place is remote, otherwise someone will hear his shouting, and maybe they will mistake it for a monster attack and collapse in fright.
Hu Buwei was still unsatisfied, and in a few hours, he successively performed fire control techniques, wind techniques, thunder techniques, and water techniques. It's a pity that the mana of more than three years is still too shallow, and only a dozen fat and fat fireballs and a small wind with a head and no tail have been summoned, but the thunder water technique has no effect. Hu Buwei is not in a hurry, anyway, there are two or three spells in his body, and it is more than enough to go out and deceive those ignorant people. With a pair of clever tongues, you can't cheat them out of their money if you don't believe it. Master Hu has always had no ambitions, and his thoughts are just how to cheat people out of money and accumulate gold and silver. If you can scrape a stroke of fat, and then grab a grain of Neidan and go back to save your beloved wife, then you will be satisfied and have no regrets in life.
Just as he was wandering, he saw a few yellow talismans falling under a small table folded in half in the corner of the wall on the left, and half of a black nail had sunk into the earth. That's the Spirit Dragon Town Nail. Deputy Commander Qian didn't know the treasures, and after looting all the things in Hu Buwei's arms yesterday evening, he only picked up a jade plaque, and threw everything else in the secret room as rags.
Hu Buwei's 'Ah!', he felt heartache, the anti-evil nail is the treasure that maintains his life's happiness, and he can only watch it from a distance at this moment and can't pick it up, which is really anxious. Hu didn't struggle for left and right, just hoping to loosen the bindings on his body and go over to pick up nails. After some unsuccessful efforts, I heard someone shouting outside the door. The deputy commander of the money has come back. I heard him shout, "Qu blind man, you opened the door for me." β
The lock sounded, the door opened, and Deputy Commander Qian stood outside the door in a yellow Yanyan, but he didn't dare to enter for a while. He had talisman paper plastered all over his helmet and armor, hoping that the monsters and ghosts would be afraid of the power of the runes and not dare to approach him.
"Let's see, is the yokai gone?"
A frightened soldier looked at the door, hurried out, and replied, "Deputy commander, I didn't look at it." β
Vice Qian was furious: "Damn! Can you look at it like this? Give me a good check! If you dare to sneak and be afraid of death, Lao Tzu will cut you!" This man was so arrogant that he was afraid of death and did not dare to enter the door, and ordered his men to go down to check, but he did not allow others to be afraid of death.
The soldier did not dare to disobey, and trembled over the threshold, leaning against the doorpost and poking his head into the inner room. Forced by the order of his boss, he didn't dare not come to the door, but the monster was very powerful, and more than 20 people had been eaten in the cell in the past few days, and everyone in the government had changed color. Even if he borrowed a hundred dares, he didn't dare to be careless in a place where monsters were rampant. Therefore, with your back against the doorpost and one foot on the door, as long as you see something wrong, it is convenient to turn around and flee for your life.
Hu Buwei saw a small soldier with alternating red and white faces slowly poking into the door, staring around with wide eyes, and felt very funny. Deliberately coughed. The little soldier was tense in his heartstrings, when he thought that there would be such a strange sound in the house, and under the shock, his soul flew out of the sky, and he jumped up like a rabbit with an arrow, and crawled out of the door.
"Big man, there are monsters!" the little soldier was silent, and his legs were weak.
Vice Qian Dutong's fat face changed color, and he and three or five entourages screamed and fled more than ten zhang away. Hide behind a wall and look out. The wooden door was blown by the wind and swayed from side to side, but the monster did not rush out. The few people were frightened for a moment, and when they didn't check anything wrong, they dared to go to the room again. I tossed for a while. In the end, Qian Deputy Dutong came up with a way, took three talismans from his legs, and handed them to the three subordinates: "You three let me in, this is the rune drawn by Master Zhao, with its protection, the monster will not harm you." β
Several hands were like ashes, but they were familiar with the temper of their bosses, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to scold in their hearts, grasp the talisman paper, and the three of them moved into the door simultaneously. Master Zhao's talisman is powerful, and the three of them also know it, so the fear in their hearts is slightly reduced. A few days ago, the prison was suddenly haunted, biting and biting many prisoners, but Master Zhao tried to open the altar the next day and drew hundreds of talismans for the prisoners to hold, which saved their lives. Otherwise, after a lot of commotion in the past few days, I am afraid that there will be no living person in the cell.
Speaking of which, this time the ghosts and monsters were really unfortunate, just in time when Xijing was able to make all the people out, and the government was in a hurry. It can be regarded as a catastrophe that is destined for heaven. A few months ago, I heard that there were demons wreaking havoc in Fenzhou, harming the villagers. The matter soon reached Kyoto, and the emperor issued an edict to send magic masters from various prefectures and prefectures to ambush them. The Strange Case Division in Xijing, which was in charge of local demon incidents, was among the recruits, and all eleven people were transferred to Kyoto to garrison. Otherwise, as long as you are left alone, you will not be so disgraced by the ghosts in prison.
The three of them sighed, drew their knives and entered the door, and saw a forest of strange pillars, and their hearts were shocked. They hadn't interrogated Hu Buwei with Vice President Qian earlier, so they didn't know what happened in the morning, and when they saw such chaos, they all thought to themselves: "The monster really escaped! This is not good." Frightened, everyone held their breath and looked at it with all their hearts.
A soldier with sharp eyes, through the staggered bamboo shoots, had already seen Hu Buwei tied up in the room, and shouted loudly: "Monster! I see a monster! Wow - it's terrible!" He had a terrifying meaning in his heart, and when he saw Hu Buwei's chest naked and his ribs were craggy, he only felt that it was indescribably hideous and terrifying.
When the deputy capital heard about it, he hurriedly evacuated dozens of feet away. The bones waited with their eyes protruding, only to hear the screams of the hapless soldier before turning and fleeing.
Hu Buwei saw that the blind man dared to say that he was a monster, and he was angry and funny in his heart. Said: "My lord, I'm not a monster, I was caught here." β
After understanding the situation, the deputy capital of Qian walked into the door suspiciously. Wu Zi refused to be reassured, stood at the door and looked at it for a long time, confirming that it was harmless, and then asked Hu Buwei: "Why are you not dead yet? Where have you gone?"
Hu Buwei's heart moved: "This Lord Tutong is so afraid of death, he might as well lie to him." "I'm hungry right now, and if I can get some food, it's best if I don't have it. At that moment, he rolled his eyes and replied, "He...... He...... Let's go. "Vice President Qian said 'oh!', stepped forward, and was about to speak. Hu Buwei said again: "But...... He said he'd come back later. Qian Vice Dutong's face changed greatly, and when he heard the sound, he immediately stopped, gasped and asked, "Ah?!When will you come?!"
Hu Buwei was in a hurry, he didn't expect this dog official to be so timid and afraid of death, if he let him run away with heavy words, it would not be wonderful. Hurriedly continued: "He said to come back at night." Monster...... Well, this ...... The monster-sama said that if someone was willing to offer him a fat chicken with wine, he might not make trouble again. β
Vice Qian Dutong breathed a sigh of relief, and did not doubt Hu Buwei's words. He asked, "Wine and fat chicken, it's not that difficult, it's just ...... Is it that simple? He didn't have anything else to say?"
Hu Buwei saw him enter the court, and he was secretly happy in his heart. After a few sentences of dialogue just now, it reminded him of his old profession, and the more he told the lie, the smoother it became. Who is Master Hu? He was originally a charlatan, a figure who made a living by defrauding people of money with his tongue, but now he is confronted with a foolish person who is convinced of monsters, and if he does not deceive him to get some benefits, wouldn't he be sorry for the good opportunity given by God?
He rolled his eyes and snorted, "How can it be so simple!" he said...... Alas!" sighed deliberately, and was silent for a moment, to whet their appetite. The words are suspenseful, induced but not triggered, saying that the first sentence contains the second half of the sentence, this is the trick of the charlatans, and it has always been tried and tested, and it is used in a hundred ways. When ordinary people hear such words, they must be suspenseful, and if they know the number of roads, they will obediently offer some opening fees.
Sure enough, it was only a moment, and Vice President Qian was already impatient, and said anxiously: "What did he say?! You should tell me honestly!" Hu Bu didn't answer in order to avoid it, but said: "This rope hurts me so much, ouch, my arms are numb." "This trick is called avoiding the truth and making it false, and coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. pinched the lifeblood of the joint, and no one did not worry about not doing things according to their own ideas.
Qian Deputy said: "When you finish speaking, I will loosen your bonds." "How could Hu Buwei fall for him, so casually perfunctory, Hu Lao Liar was already very proficient when he was a teenager. This soldier actually dared to deceive in front of him, couldn't it be that the squad got an axe and sold water by the river? It was really ridiculous! At that moment, 'ouch!' called out, and said in a trembling voice: "The monster lord said...... Say...... If...... If...... cough cough ......" said half a sentence, but coughed and said: "No, my lord, I have been tied up for so long, the blood is not smooth, my arms are numb, numb to my chest and throat, cough cough...... Ouch, ouchβ"
Vice Qian was helpless, seeing that this dog thief's eyes were rolling wildly, and his spirit was very vigorous, how could he be tied up and breathless? I had to drink and order my subordinates to come and loosen their ties. These days, the monster has been a disaster, and it has had a great impact on his future. The left-behind adults are worried and troubled all day long. At present, if you can find a way to solve it, it will be a great credit, and you are worried that you will not be appreciated by the adults left behind? After some thought, you have to accommodate this Diao people.
"What did the monster say, and how would he stop making trouble?" Vice Qian was impatient and asked one after another.
Hu Buwei smiled for 'hehe' and said, "Lord Youkai originally had many conditions, but after some persuasion from me, he was willing to relax the requirements." "Turning a difficult thing into 10 points, and then making a big contribution, is also the basic routine of deceiving people and making money. Vice General Qian was suspicious and asked, "Why did he listen to you?"
Hu Buwei said: "He naturally listens to me, I hold the Jade Emperor Talisman in my hand, and I can summon the soldiers and horses of the ten directions of the Heavenly Court......" The more he spoke, the smoother he became, and a few words were extremely familiar and flowed, and he blurted out. After all, Vice President Qian Dutong was not a fool, and when he saw that his eyes were full of light, he said wildly, and he became suspicious: "What do you say?
Hu Buwei was surprised, he said happily, and leaked out the words that had deceived the ignorant villagers with his previous nonsense, which actually made the soldiers suspicious. However, this is not difficult for the experienced liar, who immediately laughed and covered up the past.
"Don't misunderstand, my lord, these soldiers and horses are not the same as the soldiers and horses under my lord's command, they are all invisible, they are born by qi, and annihilated by qi. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just like a gust of wind. Seeing that a few soldiers were suspicious on their faces, Hu Buwei had to force it: "If the adults don't believe it, you can summon the soldiers and horses to let the adults take a look, but you ...... This one...... It is invisible to the naked eye...... Well, at most, I felt a gust of wind passing. In a moment, his mind raced, and he thought of using his newly learned art of controlling the wind to fool them.
Vice Qian said: "Okay, you can take a look, if it is really windy, I will believe you." He suspected that Hu Buwei was a scoundrel who stole money, and he didn't believe that he would make any tricks.
Hu Buwei kept a straight face and scared them: "Although the heavenly soldiers and generals can't see it, but the gods are at ease, when I make the Fa later, don't make a sound, otherwise, if you make them angry, it won't end well." β
Qian Fat Man snorted, but he didn't dare to refute. Seeing that Hu Buwei pulled away from the posture, the knots of his hands hung down to his abdomen, and he muttered praises in his mouth. After a while, I heard him shout: "Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, march forward with battles, suppress evil spirits and subdue demons, and subdue sword soldiers!"
Hu Buwei secretly agitated the mana, and according to the method of wind control recorded in the "Great Yuan Lian Zhenjing", the thumb and index finger of both hands were pinched, and the aura penetrated out of the wind pool and penetrated from both ears. In an instant, a gust of wind rose from the ground, and a 'whew!' sound surged, bringing up a lot of dust and debris, and rolling out the door. A few soldiers were in the wind, only to feel the cold air blowing on their faces, cold and swishing like the wind, and their clothes were turning open, shaking and fluttering.
Although the wind is small, it is still a gust of wind.
Vice President Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect this person to really have some doorways, and he actually made a strange wind, and he didn't know if it was a real heavenly soldier or general, and he was beating a drum in his heart for a while. He was just a gentleman, who became a small official of the forbidden army by bribes, and he only knew how to extort and extort good people, how to know the mysteries of these spells, so that Hu Buwei was bluffed, and he had long been indistinguishable from north and south.
Hu Buwei saw a few people change color, and knew that it would be successful. Said solemnly: "Just now, the sixty thousand divine soldiers who patrolled Tianhe were all wearing golden armor and holding golden guns, did you see it?" The four thin heads and one fat head swayed from side to side together.
Hu Buwei said: "I'll just say, you can't see it when you summon it, so I have to spend so much effort." Deputy General Qian was skeptical, and seeing that he was too mysterious, it was unbelievable. But if you don't believe it, Hu Buwei can really make a gust of wind. He didn't know that Master Hu's mana of half a bucket of water was not enough to face the enemy, but it was more than enough to deceive a stupid boss like him, and he was much more clever than a bunch of charlatans who couldn't talk about it.
"I didn't lie to you, do you believe it?" Hu Buwei squinted at a few people. Several soldiers looked at each other, but did not answer.
Vice Qian Dutong pondered for a moment and said, "You...... You...... Mage...... Sure enough, it's very capable, huh...... But I don't know what the monster said, how can he be willing to leave?" Hu Buwei heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and when he heard that Qian Vice President had changed his name, he knew that he had believed seven or eight points in his heart. smiled at the moment: "He listened to my persuasion, and finally refused to take revenge, and spared hundreds of lives." β
Vice Qian was taken aback: "What?!, was he going to kill hundreds of people?" Hu Buwei sighed for Youyou, pretending to be sad, and thinking in his heart how to find a good reason for his life. As soon as I thought about it, I remembered the horrible dead things I saw last night, and I had already calculated it.
"That's nature. He was originally imprisoned with injustice, but after his death, his grievances condensed and became a powerful ghost, and he naturally hated the person who killed him. He said that he would take revenge and eat the flesh of all those who had harmed him. Hu Buwei said, suddenly remembering the experience of last night, the old man's resentful eyes appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't help but shudder, and he was also scared in his heart.
I don't know what nonsense, but I really hit the point. Qian and Vice Qian all listened to it, and their faces turned pale. Originally, I only believed six or seven points, but now I believe even more. Everyone in the house knows that the haunted ghosts in the prison are the prisoners who were unjustly killed in the former torture cells.
As early as six or seven years ago, there were often ghosts and monsters in the prison cells of Xijing Mansion, and they were all prisoners who had died unjustly, and they were angry and murderous. After the vigorous suppression of the people in the Strange Case Division, it was slightly reined in, but it never stopped. Later, he was transferred to the current left-behind adult, but somehow, the prison disappeared for two or three years, and there was no trace of ghosts. Until a few days ago, a ghost attack broke out at night, and more than 20 prisoners were killed and bitten, causing a disturbance in the house.
"And then...... And then?" said Vice Qian's voice.
Hu Buwei cleared his throat and said, "Later, I said, what's the point of killing and killing like this? Even if he kills all the people, he won't be able to come back anyway, it will only increase the evil, so it's better to find a good place to go and make another plan." β
Vice Qian nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes! Yes! Or the mage understands the reason! He ...... He...... What did you say after listening to your advice?"
Hu Buwei sighed and said, "He was moved by what I said, but he was still unwilling. He also said that he was hungry, and he couldn't eat human flesh or suck human blood, so I had to give him one of my souls. β
"Ahh......h How...... Is it still so good?" Qian Vice Dutong was stunned and asked.
Hu Buwei glanced at him: "People have three souls and seven souls, and it doesn't matter if you don't have one soul and one soul, at most, you often forget things in the future and often can't sleep...... Alas, if I hadn't fulfilled his wish, wouldn't I have killed or injured hundreds of people? The words are compassionate and compassionate, and the heart of self-sacrifice is really moving. It's just that no one knows that he's talking nonsense. If the soul is really so worthless, the young master of Qingtai Mountain is not like this now, he has only been detained for a soul, and he is no different from a dead person.
Several soldiers secretly admired him, and the Qian deputy was quite ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then what...... Isn't he satisfied that he took the mage's soul? Why did he come back at night?"
Hu Buwei rolled his eyes and said: "After becoming a ghost, he can't be reborn, he naturally can't go, he has to do a big ritual, burn some real gold, real silver ingots and paper money candles or something, and let him go over, so that he won't make trouble again in the future." β
"Aren't ghosts only for paper money? Why do you need gold and silver ingots...... Mage, I don't have much money. β
Hu Buwei said: "That's the world's ignorant people spreading falsehoods, this ...... Only with gold and silver treasures can you see your sincerity, otherwise, ten copper coins can buy a bundle of paper money, what can it be worth!"
Vice Qian Dutong thought about it, and this was right. If paper money were so easy to use, everyone in the ghosts of Hades would become rich. It's just that you have to spend your own money, and it hurts to think about it. He asked, "Well...... Mage...... How many ingots do you think you need to use?"
Hu Buwei saw that the plan was sold, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said proudly: "It doesn't take too much, just prepare two ...... Three...... Four or five gold ingots, eight roosters, and a pig, let me open the altar and make him ascend to heaven, and he may not make trouble again. "He deliberately added the word 'maybe', that is, he left a way back, if he can't exorcise ghosts in the future, then it's no wonder that Old Man Hu didn't say that he would stop making trouble at that time.
