Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 476: Ghost Control Pill, the war is about to be ignited

Ziyou could somewhat understand Zhang Er's thoughts, but he could not forgive Zhang Er's fault. Zhang Er almost plunged the entire Dongjun people into dire straits again because of his selfishness.

"Where is Zhang Liang's village?" Ziyou asked.

"Thirty miles outside Daliang City." Zhang Er said truthfully.

"You should know which retainers are colluding with Zhang Liang, right?" Ziyou said in a deep voice.

Zhang Er raised his head and looked at Ziyou.

"Sir, these are your disciples. Even if they make mistakes, they are still your disciples and loyal to you. What they want in collusion with Zhang Liang is to overthrow the Qin State, and they have no intention of harming you!" Zhang Er said.

Zhang Er's words eliminated the last trace of friendship for Zhang Er in Ziyou's heart.

"To overthrow the Qin State is to harm me! Why don't you understand? You can surrender to me with the future of the people of Wei State and force the King of Wei to surrender, thereby reducing countless killings. In addition to your respect for Lord Xinling, I thought You are thinking about the people of Wei State in your heart. But now you are thinking that because of your own selfish interests, the finally unified world will become chaotic again, and the people will fall into the misery of war again." Ziyou looked at Zhang Er asked.

"Zhang Er understands what you said, but Lord Xinling asked me to take care of these retainers." Zhang Er said with red eyes.

Ziyou looked at Zhang Er blankly. Zhang Er's current situation surprised Ziyou. At this moment, Zhang Er's eyes were red, and his eyes were no longer firm as before. Instead, they made people feel a little strange and crazy. Seeing Zhang Er's appearance, Ziyou thought of a word, possessed.

This obsession was not caused by the practice of martial arts, but because of the problems in one's own mind, which caused one to get into trouble and become obsessed. Based on what Zhang Er said, Ziyou also guessed the reason why Zhang Er was so obsessed. Betraying the Wei State and helping the Wei State occupied by the Qin State was always something Zhang Er was unwilling to face. After the fall of Wei, Zhang Er was appointed as a senior official in Dongjun by Qin, allowing him to control and stabilize the situation in Dongjun. At the beginning, Zhang Er hunted and killed many remnants of the Wei Kingdom in Dongjun. Now that Zhang Er has retired, as he gets older, his heart is no longer as firm as before. Therefore, because of the guilt in his heart and other people's words, Zhang Er is troubled and becomes stunned.

But no matter how bad Zhang Er's character was, he would never be so crazy. Looking at Zhang Er's appearance, Ziyou had already made a decision in his heart.

Zhang Er wanted to beg for mercy for the other disciples, but Zi You's internal energy was concentrated on the tip of the middle finger of his right hand. In the blink of an eye, Zi You came to him in an instant. Ziyou's finger pointed at the center of Zhang Er's eyebrows. Ziyou's internal energy poured into Zhang Er's body, and the surrounding airflow caused the surrounding furnishings to sway constantly.

As Ziyou's internal energy poured into Zhang Er's body, the blood in Zhang Er's eyes gradually faded, the stubbornness and confusion in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and his eyes gradually became focused and lively. Zhang Er suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his whole body suddenly felt much better.

Seeing that Zhang Er was almost recovering, Ziyou put away his internal strength this time and took his fingers away from Zhang Er's eyebrows.

Zhang Er looked at Ziyou and then around, then fell into deep thought. Ziyou looked at Zhang Er silently.

"Zhang Er is ashamed of Mr.'s training." Zhang Er said with shame.

"I don't blame you, someone took action against you." Ziyou's face turned gloomy, "It's Fang Jijia!"

"Fang Jijia!? I have never come into contact with these low-class people!" Zhang Er also said with some surprise.

"Fang Jijia's methods are not just about deceiving people. They dare to claim to be a branch of Taoism. They have indeed learned some things from Taoism, but they have gone astray. There is a method among Fang Jijia called confusing the mind. , can disturb the mind of others, thus causing people to fall into chaos. This method was first used by ancient wizards to train their mind. I don’t know how Fang Jijia got part of it, and after Fang Jijia’s Transformation, combined with a special drug, has become the current method that can disturb other people's minds and control them," Ziyou said.

This method of Fang Jijia was also seen by Ziyou in Taoist classics. At first, Ziyou was very interested in Fang Jijia's chaotic mind, but after studying it, he found that this was the hypnosis technique of later generations, but this method was compared to Hypnosis is simpler and more powerful.

Coming from the same sect as Luan Xin Yin is the Ghost Control Pill refined by Yun Zhongjun of the Yin Yang family. Although these two items belong to the Fang Ji family and the Yin Yang family respectively, it is recorded in Taoist classics that these two items are actually Everything is made from the same medicine. However, Fang Technologist was accustomed to using it as incense, while Yun Zhongjun refined it into elixirs.

As for why Fang Jijia attacked Zhang Er, Ziyou didn't know, because Fang Jijia had many reasons for attacking a person, including money and so on. What's more, the Qin State is also suppressing Fang Jijia now. After all, these people are cheating money and sex in some villages, which is very harmful.

"It's Zhu Rong! Zhu Rong said before that he met a Taoist master. Two years ago, on the day of my birthday, he brought this Taoist master to pay homage to me and gave me some pills, saying that they were OK. To strengthen muscles and bones, let me take it appropriately." Zhang Er said after thinking for a while.

"Elixir?" Ziyou's eyes became sharp. If it was Mixiang, it could be said to be the work of Fang Jijia, but as for the elixir, as far as Ziyou knew, there was only one person who could do it, and that was from the Yin Yang family. Yun Zhongjun escaped.

"Yes, Zhu Rong and Wei Lin have a very good relationship, and Wei Lin was the first person I found out to be connected with Zhang Liang. The time I found out was exactly two years ago, one month before my birthday. I was planning to report it to my husband at first, but Wei Lin said that he knew his mistake, and that he didn’t know that Zhang Liang was behind the businessman. He thought that the other person was just an ordinary businessman. Wei Lin’s mother was seriously ill at home and needed medicinal materials from the south. Only then could he be cured, so I established a good relationship with this businessman. At first, I was worried about him and my mother really didn’t know that Zhang Liang was behind the scenes, so I let him go for the time being.

I didn’t expect that he would join forces with Zhu Rong to drug me and try to control me! Zhang Er said angrily.

"Do you still have those pills?" Ziyou asked. Zhang Er could still maintain some sanity before, which shows that Zhang Er did not take many pills.

"Yes." Zhang Er said.

After Zhang Er rummaged around on his bookshelf, he took out a small box. The box was covered with dust and it must have not been opened for a long time. After Zhang Er wiped off the dust, he opened the box and brought it to Ziyou.

Ziyou looked at the pills inside, picked up one, and tried to put it into his mouth.

"No sir!"

Zhang Er hurriedly threw down the box and tried to stop Ziyou, but his move was too late as Ziyou had already swallowed the pill.

"I'm fine." Ziyou said, feeling the power of the elixir in his belly.

Zhang Er looked at Ziyou worriedly. After confirming that this was indeed the ghost-control elixir refined by Yun Zhongjun, Ziyou used his internal energy to expel the emitted medicinal power from his body.

"This is indeed the ghost-controlling pill refined by Yun Zhongjun, but the potency of the medicine has been greatly weakened. People who take the ghost-controlling pill will directly turn the person who takes it into a puppet, with their eyes blank. The other party should be I'm worried that if you take the elixir directly and your flaws will be discovered, I want to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to continuously accumulate the medicinal power in your body, so that people around you can get used to your current state and then control you." Ziyou said. .

"Does the Yin and Yang family secretly support Zhang Liang?" Zhang Er said unexpectedly.

"No, Yun Zhongjun had already escaped from the Yin Yang Family when hundreds of families besieged Jiugong Shendu Mountain, and the recipe for the Ghost Control Pill is his own and has nothing to do with the Yin Yang Family." Ziyou said.

The Yin Yang family and the Qin State have been secretly tracking Yun Zhongjun for a long time, but there has been no information. Originally, Ziyou was still wondering, unless Yun Zhongjun fled to the Western Region or Baiyue, he could avoid the pursuit of the Yin Yang family and the Qin State, but he did not expect that Zhang Liang was secretly helping Yun Zhongjun and providing him with protection.

"Sir, I will immediately send people to the village to arrest Zhang Liang." Zhang Er said angrily.

Because of Zhu Rong and Wei Lin's calculations, Zhang Er made many big mistakes in the past two years. If he hadn't given up taking the elixir after taking it for a while and began to develop symptoms, otherwise he would have become Zhang Er now. Liang's puppet. Once he becomes Zhang Liang's puppet, all the Dongjun disciples will become Zhang Liang and others' accomplices in cholera the world and breaking the tranquility of Dongjun.

"No, we can't scare the snake away." Ziyou said, "Zhang Liang and the others don't know that you have escaped the control of the Ghost Control Pill. Now that you are seriously ill and locked up, in their opinion, it is the Ghost Control Pill that has begun to take effect." Yes. They will definitely send someone to find you to control you. You can just use this to sneak into their ranks and act as an intermediary to provide us with intelligence."

"Okay." Zhang Er said, cupping his hands.

Ziyou glanced at Zhang Er, but didn't say anything else. The Ghost Control Pill only messed up Zhang Er's temperament, but what made Zhang Er truly fall into demonic confusion was that the demise of the Wei Kingdom that he was unwilling to face had a lot to do with him. This is Zhang Er's own inner demon. Ziyou has no way to help him. He can only hope that Zhang Er can make a choice between the people of Dongjun and himself. "You continue to pretend to be sick and bedridden these days, and wait until two days have passed before sending someone to seek help from a famous doctor." Ziyou said.

"promise!"

After Ziyou told Zhang Er, he left and returned to his room in Dingxiang Building.

Outside Daliang City, Zhang Liang's village.

"Zhang Er is sick?" Zhang Liang was a little surprised.

"That's right, Zhang Er has been closed to guests for many days." Wei Yong said.

"I'm afraid he is not ill, but is avoiding the big trouble that the censor is currently investigating in Dongjun." Zhang Liang said.

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, a voice sounded outside Zhang Liang's room.

"Mr. Zifang, does he really think that Zhang Er is sick himself?"

Then two people pushed open the door of Zhang Liang's room. One of them wore a gorgeous hat on his head, expensive silk on his body, and a valuable ring on his finger. The person who came was a strong man with a rough face and a smile in his eyes, while the people around him were wearing bamboo hats.

"Mr. Zhu Rong, why are you here?" Zhang Liang looked at Zhu Rong and said.

The visitor was none other than Zhu Rong, one of Ziyou's disciples. Zhang Er investigated and found that Wei Lin was the first person to come into contact with Zhang Liang. In fact, Zhu Rong was the first person to collude with Zhang Liang. After the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, Zhu Rong became the county magistrate of Jiyang. Jiyang is a large city in the East County. Zhu Rong can be said to be one of the most powerful figures in the East County. But then officials trained by the Qin State began to emerge. Enter Dongjun.

Zhu Rong was directly dismissed from office and deprived of his family property because the retainers he supported were bullying and plundering the people. Therefore, Zhu Rong had a grudge against Qin, thinking that Qin had deliberately abolished him, so he colluded with Zhang Liang. With the help of Zhang Liang, Zhu Rong became a wealthy businessman and began to have frequent contact with other customers, thereby attracting them to join Zhang Liang, and Wei Lin was one of them.

"Of course I came here to bring you two pieces of good news." Zhu Rong said with a smile.

"What good news?" Zhang Liang asked curiously.

"One of them is the disease of this ear." Zhu Rong said coquettishly.

"Is Zhang Er's illness caused by your poisoning?" Wei Yong asked in surprise.

"Little kid, what do you know? I won't do such a dirty thing as poisoning." The man in the hat said coldly.

"Who is this?" Zhang Liang looked at the man in the hat and asked.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Yunzhongjun, one of the five elders of the Yin and Yang family, Mr. Xu Fu!" Zhu Rong said.

Yun Zhongjun put down his bamboo hat and revealed his face. Compared with when he was at Yin Yang's house, Yun Zhongjun no longer had the aloof attitude before, but there was more of a sinister look in his eyes.

"Yun Zhongjun!?" Zhang Liang was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's me." Yun Zhongjun said.

"Mr. Zifang, don't be surprised. Mr. Xu Fu has left the Yin and Yang family. When Mr. Xu Fu fell into despair, I happened to save him, so I hid him in my house. When Zhang Er discovered that my cousin Wei Lin Regarding the connection with Mr. Zifang, although my cousin temporarily deceived Zhang Er, I am worried that this will affect our cooperation.

So I asked Mr. Xu Fu for a pill, the Ghost Control Pill. And when Zhang Er passed his life, he gave it as a medicine to strengthen muscles and bones. Zhu Rong said.

"The Ghost Control Pill can control the souls of others. I'm worried that if I control Zhang Er directly, his disciples will find out. So I shortened the power of the Ghost Control Pill and added other things to slowly erode Zhang Er. Otherwise, how could Zhang Er be disturbed by your few words and help you hide your whereabouts?" Yun Zhongjun said proudly. Although the current Yun Zhongjun has lost the title of the fifth elder of the Yin Yang family, he is a serious alchemist. After seeing that the ghost-control pill he refined has achieved good results, he naturally becomes proud.

"Yes, in fact, it is exactly what Mr. Xu Fu said. Counting the days, Zhang Er is suddenly ill now. It should be that the power of the Ghost Control Pill has accumulated to a certain extent and it has begun to take effect. As long as the effects of the Ghost Control Pill are fully effective , Zhang Er has become our puppet." Zhu Rong said.

Looking at Zhu Rong and Yun Zhongjun, Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with disgust=. Zhang Liangzhong was disdainful of Zhu Rong and Yun Zhongjun's behavior. But now that he and Zhu Rong were in a cooperative relationship, he naturally couldn't show it, so he quickly covered up the past.

Zhu Rong and Yun Zhongjun were smiling proudly and did not notice the flash of disgust in Zhang Liang's eyes.

"Is there another news?" Zhang Liang asked.

"It's a letter from my cousin. This letter is from Master Tian Zhan." Zhu Rong handed the letter to Zhang Liang and said, "Master Tian Zhan said in the letter that Hou Sheng had seduced King Jian of Qi and was preparing to Surrender to the Qin State. As a clan member of the Qi State, Prince Tian Zhan naturally did not want to see the Qi State surrender without a fight, so he wanted to gather the soldiers he had trained in Xuecheng, go south and pour them into Zibo, kill them, and then win and control the Qi State. .

He wrote in the hope that Mr. Zifang could launch an uprising in Dongjun, thereby involving the Qin State and giving him time to gain control of the Qi State. "

Zhang Liang opened the letter and fell into thinking when he saw that the content above was the same as what Zhu Rong said.

Looking at Zhang Liang who was thinking, Zhu Rong continued

"Mr. Zifang, what is there to hesitate about? If Qi surrenders, we will lose the final strength to compete with Qin. Now the censor of Qin is persecuting us, Lord Xinling's disciples, everywhere in Dongjun. As long as I If you send someone to contact them, you will definitely be able to persuade them to join our anti-Qin rebel army.

Now Zhang Er will soon be controlled by the effects of the Ghost Control Pill. Zhang Er has been an official in Daliang for many years and has a deep foundation. He has deep friendship with many officials and generals in the army. After controlling Zhang Er, we asked these people to visit us in his name. In order to control these officials and military generals, we welcome those who are willing to join us, and if they are not willing to join us, I will kill them directly. Daliang City will be controlled by us in the blink of an eye.

At that time, the Tongze who had already joined the anti-Qin rebel army raised the banner of the rebel army against Qin in various parts of Dongjun, and in the blink of an eye they could control a small half of Dongjun centered on Daliang. We are rich and well-off people, and we have supported many talented scholars and warriors as disciples over the years. Enough to involve the Qin army.

You let the hidden Xiang clan in the Chu State and the anti-Qin righteous men of the Chu State raise the flag of righteousness, and then find an opportunity to kill Fusu and capture the Chu State. Although Zhao Guo was discovered by Chen Ping because of King Chu, there are still some righteous people who are well hidden. Even if they cannot capture Zhao, they can still involve the Qin army. At that time, the entire Qin State would fall apart in an instant.

Zhao, Wei, Chu, plus the complete Qi State, overthrowing the Qin State is just around the corner! Zhu Rong said.

Next to Zhang Liang, Wei Yong's eyes were full of eagerness to try. Zhang Liang was naturally clear about what Zhu Rong said, but he also had conscious worries. The Qin army's sky thunder is enough to destroy the city and destroy the army. What can they do against such weapons? Secondly, although they had money and manpower, they were insignificant when facing Qin's army.

"Sir, this is a rare good opportunity!" Wei Yong said looking at the hesitant Zhang Liang.
