The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 740 Witchcraft
The post envoys of the Ming Dynasty sent out robes overnight.

The plain hands are cold, and they are worthy of a pair of scissors.

The tailor sent him a long way and arrived in Lintao in a few days.

——"Midnight Wuge Winter Song" Li Bai

……

Zi Che Li continued: "After talking about the dangers of witchcraft, let's talk about where your enemies are most likely to come from.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, witchcraft was prevalent in the harem, and there were various techniques from "favoring the way" to "blessing and cursing".

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with female sex, and the concubines in the harem fell out of favor one after another.In order to regain the favor of Emperor Wu, the concubines in the harem often invited witches into the palace, trying to regain their favor with witchcraft, and at the same time used witchcraft on those they were jealous of. The incidents of the ministers of the DPRK and China happened from time to time.

Jiang Chong, the favorite minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had always had a rift with Prince Liu Ju.

Jiang Chong used the witchcraft case to frame the prince Liu Shi with four people including the case Taoist Hou Han Shuo and the eunuch Su Wen.Prince Liu Ju was forced to rebel.After the defeat, Prince Liu Ju hanged himself to death, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Wei Zifu (Liu Ju's biological mother, General Wei Qing's sister) and other relatives committed suicide one after another.

The scourge of witchcraft involved tens of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people died as a result, which became a watershed in the Western Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

In view of this, since the Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties strictly prohibited the art of witchcraft, and those who violated it were punished with exile or capital punishment.

However, the Nightmare Gu technique has no trace and no trace, killing people invisible.Although there are severe punishments and harsh laws, they are still repeatedly prohibited.

The harem is the most sinister and vicious place in the world, and the harem has never been fought by the concubines alone.On the surface, the concubines are fighting for their own favor, but in fact they are fighting for power and profit for their heirs and families.

Therefore, the intrigue in the harem has always been accompanied by swords, swords, and bloody winds, no less than a life-and-death fight on the battlefield.

The invisibility characteristic of nightmare Gu technique is most in line with the behavior style of the harem, and the people in the palace are best at harming people with it.Therefore, the most powerful Nightmare Gu wizards of all dynasties came from the harem. "

Bai Fu's eyes turned cold, his murderous aura burst out, and he said word by word: "If I find this person, I will definitely tear him into pieces."

Zi Che cracked: "Starting today, I will pay extra attention to see who is secretly harming you. For the present plan, first help you break the formation of nightmare Gu."

……

In the middle of the night that day, Zi Checi led several followers and secretly hid in the mansion of the Duke of Wei.

In the middle of the night, outside Baifu's sleeping hall, a one-foot-tall colored paper man quietly appeared, dancing in the courtyard, singing softly.

Seeing the evildoer appearing, Zi Che Li made his handprints secretly and recited the mantra silently.

Zi Che Cie suddenly spilled a talisman full of mysterious patterns and spells, thrust out the mahogany sword in his hand, and shouted: "Ding!"

The dancing colored paper figurines seemed to be nailed to the wall, twisting their bodies, but they couldn't break free.

Zi Che Cie ordered someone to light a candle, and took a lantern to shine a light on it.I saw that the facial features, eyes and limbs of the colorful paper man were all similar to Bai Fu.

The colored cloth paper figurine was caught in the hands of the quilt, like a civet cat, twisting and struggling desperately.

Zi Che Li held the colorful clothed paper figurine with his left hand, took out a dagger with his right hand, and cut lightly on the paper figurine, blood gushed out from the paper and flowed on the ground.

All the relatives in ambush followed in great fear.

Zi Che Crack was not surprised, he was as calm as usual, and ordered people to hold firewood and pile it on the ground.After igniting the firewood, Ziche Li tied the paper figurine with a red string with a talisman on it, threw it into the fire and burned it.

Unexpectedly, the burning attracted six other colored paper figurines.

The six colorful paper figures floated here crying and wailing, circling in the air above Chaiji.The colorful clothes on his body gradually turned into white plain clothes.

Zi Checi didn't catch them either, and let them howl.After a stick of incense, the captured colorful paper man was burned to ashes, and the scorched smell of scorched human and animal skin could be clearly smelled in the courtyard.

Zi Che Li sprinkled the talismans again, and performed the immobilization technique to fix the six paper figurines in plain clothes in the air.All the relatives who were ambushing in secret rushed up, captured him, and threw him into the fire to burn.

Only one paper figurine escaped after Zi Che's cracked palm was captured.

After being chased by everyone, the paper figurine hid in a toilet in the back garden.

Ziche Li ordered people to dig out the dung under the latrine. After digging to a depth of seven or eight feet, they did not find any paper figurines, but they found a mahogany talisman with bloody writing on it: "Yin's, Ai's, Zhang's Yanbai's family The Lord replied, seven paper figurines were placed in the earth niche on the east wall. It will be completed in the next three years."

When Zi Che cracked it, he couldn't help explaining it, and led people straight to Baifu's sleeping hall.

The three relatives picked up the hammer and chiseled through the east wall of the courtyard of the sleeping hall.After breaking through the wall, I saw that the escaped paper figurine was enshrined in the niche inside the wall.

Zi Che Cie performed the fixed body technique again, captured the paper figurine, and threw it into the fire to burn it.

Strange to say, when he woke up the next day, Bai Fu's sickness was reduced by half, his face was bloody, and he began to eat normally.

Three days later, Zi Che Chai came back for another consultation, and the blood witchcraft and nightmare Gu techniques that Bai Fu had been tricked into had all been resolved.The other injuries are only internal injuries and skin injuries suffered during the battle with the assassins, and they can recover with peace of mind and recuperation.

During Bai Fu's recuperation period, Princess Qingluan came to visit her every day.Bai Fu was worried that Princess Qingluan would also be plotted against, so he asked Zi Checi to also check.

After Zi Checi cast the spell, he found that the Xiangxiong Dzi Bead worn by Princess Qingluan had boundless mana, like a vajra bodyguard, firmly protecting Princess Qingluan from witchcraft such as nightmare Gu.

Only then did Bai Fu feel relieved and recover from his illness.

Under the careful care of Princess Qingluan, after more than ten days, Bai Fu recovered from his serious illness and fully recovered.

……

The assassination of Bai Fu was another major incident in the capital after the Daming Palace rebellion, which shocked the government and the public.

Assassinating the prime minister of the current dynasty was tantamount to conspiracy. Suzong Longyan was furious and ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to arrest the murderer with all its strength.

For a time, there was a lot of turmoil in Chang'an City, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

During the martial arts competition before the court, Bai Fu took the initiative to express his willingness to represent the East Palace in the battle.As soon as the banquet was over, Bai Fu was attacked.Yue Wang Li is the most suspected.

The king of Yue, Li Xi, couldn't argue with a hundred words, and he couldn't tell the matter openly for himself. For a while, the people of the Yue king's mansion were panicked.

In Yue Wang's mansion, Li Xi was like an ant on a hot pot, battered.

All the aides suggested that King Li Xi of Yue should go to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and take the opportunity of visiting Bai Fu to settle the matter and resolve the misunderstanding between him and Bai Fu.

Yue Wang Li Xi roared: "Come to visit? Doesn't that mean that this king has a ghost in his heart, and there is no silver 300 taels here?"

All the staff members said: "Even if His Majesty misunderstood, Bai Xiangguo must be aware of it. This trip will not be in vain."

Yue Wang Li Xi shook his head, and said, "Let's take a moment and see what Donggong's attitude is?"

Prince Li Chu was also restless, but he was calmer than Yue King Li Xi, and he was also observing Yue King Li Xi.In this kind of thing, whoever makes the first move will be passive.

Bai Fu was not only the prime minister of the current dynasty, but also the governor of Anxi, who was in charge of Zuojinwuwei and defended the capital.It is said that he has affiliation with Prince Li Chu and Generalissimo of the World's Army and Horses, King Li of Yue.

When such a big event happened, both the crown prince and the king of Yue stood still, and no one went to visit, which made the matter even more unusual.There was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.

Suzong looked on coldly, with deep and complicated eyes...

Things are indeed fermenting.

Suzong first adjusted the prince's party, and transferred Lu Chen, the former prime minister and current prince's guest, to be the governor of Jingzhou.

Immediately, Suzong began to constrain the men and horses who secretly served the King of Yue:
In the martial arts competition before the court, the identity of the warrior Mu Jinbai who represented the Yue Palace in the battle has been ascertained by Suzong. He is the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu in Jiannan and a general under the command of Chengdu Yin Li Ruoyou.

Li Ruoyou was immediately relieved of his military power, transferred back to Chang'an, and served as a prisoner in the palace.

Li Ruoyou regretted that she didn't do it at the beginning. Before that, she worked in many ways in the capital, and finally became a big official in the frontier.In times of war, holding military power is the easiest way to make contributions.And Bashu is far away from the flames of war in the Central Plains, and there is no fear of life. It only needs to organize supplies and prepare military supplies to obtain military merits repeatedly.What a job.

Li Ruoyou secretly scolded Yue King Li Xi for not being calm enough.Mu Jinbai is a member of the army, and he was sent to the Yue King Li Xi as a retinue, hoping to build trust with the Yue King Li Xi.One day, Mu Jinbai will be sent to the battlefield to take charge of an army loyal to the King of Yue.

Unexpectedly, King Li Xi of Yue was very happy. Seeing that Mu Jinbai was from Kongtong, and his martial arts were good, he used it in a martial arts competition before the court, taking the opportunity to humiliate the prince and expose his relationship with him for no reason.

Du Fu, Li Ruoyou's distant cousin, was saddened to see that he was transferred away, and he had no one to rely on in Chengdu.At the practicing banquet, he wrote a poem "Remuneration for Li Dudu's Biao Zhang's Early Spring Works" and presented it to Li Ruoyou:
Liji sits at dawn, and poems come to mourn early spring.Turning to worry about accompanying guests, I feel more old with others.

The peach blossoms are tender when the red is green, and the willow leaves are new when the green is green.Looking at the hometown should not be over, the world is still dusty.
