Chapter 11: The Thief
In the Yin Gu City within Lei Ze, the Astrology Temple and Sima Villa are undoubtedly the two most conspicuous buildings. The astrology temple is the place where each generation of great Sima contemplates the heavens and the earth, and is a symbol of the supremacy of divine power. Sima Villa is the place where each generation of Great Sima carries out his personal life, and without the permission of Great Sima, even the city lord who represents the royal power cannot take a step forward.
And at this moment, the Lord of Ten Thousand Cities stood on a high platform, which was the tallest building in the city. He looked down at the people below who were demolishing the Astrology Temple and Sima Villa, and his heart was endlessly relieved. He opened his arms and looked up at the sky, he had done what the city lords of all generations wanted to do but did not dare to do.
The world is all in the palm of your hand.
Oh, he restrained his smugness, and looked slyly to the north, where it was the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and many gate valves stood in the middle. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his mind was very broad, and he could include the whole world.
However, at this moment, Wan Congling, who was in the Dong Palace, was not as interested as his father, he looked a little angry, and said to himself: "Dad, haven't you always looked down on me, this time, I must let you open your eyes and see my methods." He muttered as he tied the straw man.
Wan Congling had a total of two straw figures, the size was about the same as a real person, these two straw figures were exactly the same, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could be distinguished as women. After the straw figures were tied, Wan Congling used cinnabar to draw different patterns on the two straw figures. When he was done, he smiled comfortably, and strangely enough, the two straw men laughed too. It's just that the degree of laughter is different, one is hehehe, and the other is laughing loudly and heartily.
Wan Congling looked at the two straw men and said, "When I am not there, you must be obedient and obedient, you can't talk, and you can't walk around." ”
The two straw men immediately restrained their smiles and stood there solemnly and dignifiedly.
Wan Congling smiled and said, "Very good! I'm going to meet someone." I hope I don't need you two. ”
All the way through the corridor and turning the path, Wan Congling came to the Yan Xin Pavilion, a light wooden door. The maid's voice came from inside, "Who?"
"It's me, Wan Congling. ”
"The young master is here, but the slave didn't greet him, damn it!"
"Is Shuyao in there?"
"Tell the young master, Miss Shuyao is inside. ”
"Okay, it's none of your business, you go down. ”
"Yes!" the maid withdrew.
Wan Congling opened the shrimp curtain, turned the screen, and saw Shuyao sitting on a chair doing female red, she embroidered two faces. Wan Congling knew who it was at a glance, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
When Shuyao saw Wan Congling, she immediately saluted and said, "The young master has come, and he has never greeted him, hoping to beg for forgiveness." ”
Wan Congling smiled slightly, stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Why should Shuyao be like this, do you and I still need to be so different?"
Shuyao straightened up, put away the embroidery, and said, "Thank you, young master." ”
Wan Congling looked at the box she used for embroidery and said, "You are a woman who dances with knives and sticks, no one would have imagined that you would be played with by ordinary women." ”
Shuyao said: "I used to learn from my mother when I was a child, but now I haven't done it for many years, my hands are rusty, and the embroidered things are not presentable." ”
Wan Congling knocked on the side and said: "If an ordinary woman embroiders the appearance of a man, it must be that she is devoted to this person, and there has never been a woman who embroiders two women at the same time." ”
As soon as Shuyao heard it, she knew what he meant, and when she felt sad in her heart, it was inconvenient to talk to anyone, so she sat sullenly and did not speak.
Wan Congling saw it in his eyes and said, "I heard earlier that you hated those two people to death, and I think you embroidered the two of them to humiliate them and make them suffer the pain of ten thousand needles piercing their faces." ”
Shuyao was still silent, her eyes were wooden, as if she was recalling something, and her expression on her face kept changing.
Wan Congling said: "It's not impossible to get rid of the two of them, I have a plan here to make the two of them die, but this plan needs your help." ”
"My help?" Shuyao was stunned.
Wan Congling said: "Exactly, everyone can see that Chu Shaoying's old love for you is still alive." ”
Shuyao shook her head and said, "Young master, let's listen to the city lord, in case this plan fails, the young master has three long and two short, how do you want me to explain to the city lord." ”
Wan Congling was slightly angry and said, "As long as you cooperate, how can this plan not work." ”
Shuyao shook her head slowly again, and said, "Even though your plan is very thorough, but without the order of the city lord, I will be forgiven for anything." ”
Wan Congling sneered and said, "After all, you still think about the two of them, right?"
Shuyao was speechless and swallowed sullenly. Wan Congling's eyes became fierce in an instant, his fingers became a ring, and a golden rune paper gradually took shape in his hand, this kind of spell was the secret technique in the city - gathering qi into a talisman, and accepting breath into a talisman. But who expected that before a talisman was fully formed, a person came outside the door and said inwardly: "Young Master Qiqi, the city lord asked you to go over." ”
"Got it, you go down!" Wan Congling continued his technique, finished the fast-forming talisman, flicked his fingers, embedded it in the bronze mirror used by Shuyao's dressing, and said: "Okay, Shuyao, I'll go first, you have a good rest." ”
Shuyao didn't answer. Wan Congling walked straight out, and every ten or so steps, he had to condense a talisman and embed it in the wooden pillars of the cloister, until he pasted the last talisman next to the shutters of the Donggong Palace, and then hurriedly walked towards his father's apartment.
Although his father is the lord of the city, his living room is very simple, and only a couplet written by Yan Zhenqing is framed in the whole room, which is particularly conspicuous, and the couplet reads:
Ten years of hard work in the chicken window,
The rafter pen is like a god.
Wan Congling came to his father's living room, saw this couplet, and knew that his father had been lying on his back for all these years, which was very difficult, and seeing his father's ugly face, he was discouraged, and he said, "I don't know what happened to my father's child?"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Cities was articulate and indignant, and said, "There are thousands of women in the world, why do you just pester Lin Shuyao?"
Wan Congling said: "The child is just a ......" Before the sentence was finished, the city lord of Wan shouted: "Bastard thing, Da Sima used to astrology, and tested that Hua Chu and the two of them 'consulted what they wanted, and only affection is able', so they seduced the two with love, but they were killed by the two." Love is a very delicate tool, and when used well, it can naturally get twice the result with half the effort. If it doesn't work well, it becomes a rebellion and gives people a handle, you know?"
Wan Congling didn't dare to disobey his father in person, so he said, "The child knows." ”
Only then did the City Lord change his anger, his voice became softer, and he said, "Do you remember the words I inscribed in your room?"
Wan Congling said it anxiously, and said: "Live deep and cultivate virtue, enter the world to seek the Tao." ”
The Lord of Wancheng said: "You are still young now, and you have insufficient experience in the rivers and lakes, it is time to learn skills, and it is not too late to enter the world when you are full-fledged." ”
Wan Congling agreed and said, "Father is very right. However, there was a suspicious look in his eyes, fierce and cunning.
"Alright, go down and think for yourself. ”
"Yes. Wan Congling stepped back, came to his room, picked up the pen at the moment, dipped it in cinnabar, and wrote a pattern on the paper. This talisman is different from the outside, it is a physical talisman.
After writing this physical talisman, Wan Congling shouted lightly, and the talisman floated into the air on its own, shining brightly. At this moment, the talismans outside also lit up in turn from near to far.
In the Yan Xin Pavilion, Shuyao was looking at herself in the mirror, but unexpectedly, the mirror was shining brightly, dazzling and dazzling. Shuyao only felt that there was a powerful force that sucked something out of her body, and that power made her unable to resist. In an instant, her body was hollowed out, and she stood dumbfounded, breathless, and her eyes unblinked.
That talisman passed the things that were drawn out of Shu Yao's body to the next talisman, just like that, and finally passed the things drawn out to the physical talisman suspended in front of Wan Congling.
Wan Congling smiled with joy, as if he admired himself. Immediately, he took out a bull-sharpening knife from his sleeve and divided the talisman in front of him into two. After that, he looked at the two straw men behind him.
At that moment, he could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart. The muscles on the right half of his face contracted, and his clothes fluttered slightly, and his body was as enchanting as a ghost.
