Chapter 163: Manipulating the Heart
Zhou Ze's fingers knocked on the table rhythmically.
In fact, he still has a suspect in his heart, who can enjoy the benefits of a fisherman by doing nothing, but there are too many conflicts in this person, it depends on when Lao Xu will come back.
Just as I was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Old Xu came in full swing, Xue Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at Old Xu. Others don't know what his abilities are, but Xue Ping knows them.
"Brother Xu is back!"
Jia Ding and Chen Wenchi both stood up, Zhou Ze waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down.
“There is a clue?”
Old Xu nodded, but looked at Liu County Magistrate. Liu County Magistrate's neck shrank, and suddenly felt that he was very unnecessary here. He stood up and smiled.
"It's almost noon in Zhou Ming's mansion. I've been discussing all morning. You're hungry and tired. I'll ask someone to prepare food to deliver it. Brother Xu is probably in a hurry to go and have no meals."
Old Xu is not polite.
"Prepare more meat, preferably braised mutton, which is soft and hungry. Don't make fancy stir-fry like feeding rabbits."
County Wei Xiao was almost choked to death. Those fried fried foods were all fine products that were never tired of eating fine stews. Each dish was very valuable, but people still looked down on it.
"Yes, I'll go and prepare now, and come soon!"
County Magistrate Liu ran away as if he was running away. Old Xu sat down and drank two bowls of herbal tea. Then he looked at Zhou Ze and said:
"I have investigated Qingyun Temple. It is said that it was donated by a gentry in Jingzhou decades ago. It is considered a home temple. However, because there are many people coming and going on Qingyun Mountain, the incense is getting more and more prosperous, and the temple next to it is not as popular as it is.
However, I observed it and found that it should be a member of the Maoshan School. There is a forbidden area in the backyard and no outsiders are allowed to enter. There is no difference in front, but the forbidden area in the backyard is completely set up by the Maoshan School.
I stole a few talismans, which were written by human blood mixed with cinnabar. However, the writing skills of the people are relatively shallow, so the deterrence is average. The only thing special is that there are insect pits specially raising poisonous insects in this forbidden area."
Zhou Ze looked at the talismans that Lao Xu took out, and when he reached out to touch the runes, he could feel a thrust, which seemed to be very repelling Zhou Ze's touch.
However, when Zhou Ze heard the word "worm pit", he paused.
"Insect pit? Is there someone who makes a Gu?"
Lao Xu shook his head.
"This is different from the witchcraft that fell from the Ba Kingdom. It is a unique method of curing diseases created by the Maoshan School. It is somewhat similar to the Talisman Water, but this thing is more domineering than the Talisman Water. What surprised me was that such a small Taoist temple had insect pits?
Furthermore, since it is the Maoshan Sect, it is better to have the reputation of the Maoshan Sect openly. It is really unnecessary to conceal people like this. After all, the Maoshan Sect is the national teacher lineage chosen by the saints.
I secretly brought some insects back, and you can see if I can see what I understand, I have heard of it, and I have never really seen it."
As he said that, Old Xu raised his wrist and five or six bottles and jars fell on the table. Zhou Ze subconsciously stood up and retreated. He stared at Old Xu and wanted to yell, but when he looked at the three, he still held back.
"What are you doing to get the bug back? You can't even understand, what do you want me to understand?"
Old Xu blinked, glanced at the three, quickly put away the bottles and jars, and swallowed the rest back, changing the topic.
"If you don't read it, don't read it. By the way, I found the Taoist priest who made the Li family. He is considered a manager of Qingyun Temple. His master is the master of Qingyun Temple.
This person's name is called Yihong Taoist, and the disciples in the temple are respectfully called Yihong Temple Master. However, I found out that his real name is Zhang Xiaojin at the age of fifty. Doesn't he feel familiar with the name?"
Zhou Ze endured the flames that were rising in his heart and looked at Lao Xu without saying a word.
Since the old Xu came back from the capital, he seemed to have completely let himself go. He lost his previous wisdom and taciturn words and was so powerful that he was a chatterbox. I don’t know if it was because of his ability improved or because he lost his master’s control.
Xue Ping and the other three were all stunned, but Xue Ping was the first to stare at her.
"Is it related to Zhang Xiaoen?"
Old Xu smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
"I don't know either, I just think the name is similar. This person looks good, although he is an old man, with the Taoist bone fairy style!
In addition, he had two ghosts around him, a black-haired ghost covered in black hair, and a female ghost dressed in red. If I guessed it well, those black stockings were related to him."
Zhou Ze was less surprised by the repeated troubles of Old Xu, but the old Taoist raising ghosts around him was a little different.
"Qingyun Temple is not an external method, can it also exorcise demons and catch ghosts?"
"I don't know this. The ghost covered in black hair almost discovered me. I didn't dare to stay for a long time, but the aura on her body, I felt that it was very similar to the black lines I killed."
Zhou Ze rubbed his chin, and Xue Ping couldn't help asking Lao Xu, what does black thread mean?
Seeing that Zhou Ze did not stop him, Old Xu said the first night visit and the black threads caught by Zhang Erlang, which were very general.
At this time, County Magistrate Liu sent food, and several people ate it quickly. Xue Ping and the two of them retreated first.
"What did you find? Don't use a hammer and a hammer to me. How true did you just say?"
Zhou Ze kicked Lao Xu, and Lao Xu, who was pretending to be stupid, then smiled.
"We can't say that it's not true. I really don't know whether Zhang Xiaojin has anything to do with the Zhang family. I just think the names are similar. Besides, Xiaowu and the fool are a bit similar to him.
But this person must be from the Maoshan Sect. As for why he doesn't use the name of the Maoshan Sect, I think it has something to do with him raising ghosts.
At night, a little Taoist priest went up the mountain with a big bag on his back, so I followed him up and delivered the things to the forbidden area behind. I realized that this was the territory of the Maoshan School, and the bag contained four boys and girls."
Zhou Ze was stunned and instantly thought of the four ghost kids who were detained by Liu Zhai.
"What is he going to do?"
"It is not a sacrifice, but a yang energy of four boys and girls was sucked to raise two ghosts. The black-haired ghost spit out three balls of things, which is the kind of black thread we found, but it is very small, just the size of a copper coin.
The red-clothed ghost spitted a few times at the gourd on the table. Zhang Xiaojin quickly covered the gourd lid, and the two ghosts also retracted their bodies. Then Zhang Xiaojin threw a handful of beans in the direction of my crawling, and with a rotten smell, I quickly avoided it.
It was probably the one who could see it in red. I was afraid that I would reveal my whereabouts and didn’t use the white bone umbrella to collect them. However, the bottles contained the black thread, which I secretly changed for him.”
Zhou Ze frowned. The case was originally complicated, but now it is even more unpredictable.
"By the way, have you paid attention to the Taoist thumb, is it a bit shorter than that of ordinary people?"
Lao Xu thought about it.
"The thumb of one hand is a bit short, the tip of the thumb is very thick, and the nails are about 60% shorter."
Zhou Ze slapped his thighs, his name was similar, his age was similar, and his thumb defects were also related to Zhang Xiaoen.
However, according to previous understanding, Zhang Xiaoen almost started with a wife stealing money from her parents' family and eating it with a soft meal. I haven't heard of Zhang Xiaoen's relatives here, just a poor boy.
"How can I prove that they are related?"
Lao Xu opened his hand and had two strands of hair in his palm.
"I took advantage of Zhang Xiaojin leaving the room, collected some of his hair, and went to the workshop to go to Zhang Xiaoen's. This is not a comparison."
As he said that, he would quickly move his fingers. Zhou Ze was usually lazy, but he was usually impatient when it came to such things. The light flashed under Lao Xu's fingers, and two strands of hair fused together.
"Ha, it's indeed related to blood."
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at these hairs, manipulating people's hearts and controlling people's hearts. Raising ghosts is to control people's hearts. Who is easy to control?
"Old Xu, you said these black threads can control people's hearts. How to control people's hearts? Can some things be accomplished based on the commands of the controller?"
