Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 222: Speak kindly to Liu Dashan
Liu Dashan was about to struggle, but he felt that his body was nourished by spiritual power, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, so he gave up the struggle and stood dumbfounded on the spot.

Yuan Shouwei took the opportunity to explore inside his body, and surprisingly discovered that one of Liu Dashan's three souls, the 'Shuang Ling' that dominated his consciousness, had disappeared.

I couldn't help but be surprised, that demonic dragon actually had the ability to steal people's souls?
Since the soul has been lost, the problem cannot be solved by relying on the Meditation Talisman and the Metta Sutra.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to let go and let Liu Dashan return.He turned to Liu Huai and said:

"Old Zhang Liu, Dashan's disease is really strange. I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it for a while."

When Yuan Shouwei was reciting the Calming Mantra and affixing the Calming Talisman, Liu Huai watched from the side and was slightly surprised.

Why is this comrade Sanshan so powerful?

Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts and good at medical skills, but he is also also good at Taoism.

There was still a faint glimmer of hope in my heart.

But when Yuan Shouwei said that there was nothing he could do, a wry smile appeared on his face:
"If Yuan Langjun has nothing to do, I'm afraid of the mountains... Alas!"

Yuan Shouwei didn't take it seriously and comforted him softly:
"It's okay, let's think of other ways."

After saying that, several people left the cell one after another.

When only the two of them were left, Yuan Shouwei asked:
"Master Liu, is there a chief bookkeeper named Li Sisheng in this county?"

Liu Huai nodded and said:
"Yes, I just came here not long ago."

"Yuan Langjun knows this person?"

Yuan Shouwei shook his head and said:

"I was introduced by a friend, but I haven't met him yet."

Liu Huai couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after hearing this, and said naa:

"I heard that Chief Li's family is quite powerful. If Mr. Lang is familiar with him, maybe he can beg for mercy from the Mu Ming Mansion and let Dashan go."

"But since there is no friendship, then he will definitely not help."

Yuan Shouwei did not explain much, but said:

"Give it a try, but it doesn't hurt."

"Old man Liu, it's getting late today, you should go home and rest first."

"I'm going to pay a visit to Chief Li first. If there is any news in the past two days, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Liu Huai nodded and said:

"You might as well give it a try. Maybe Chief Li is a kind person and is willing to help Dashan. It's possible."

He then asked Yuan Shouwei to tell him immediately as soon as he had any news, and then he said goodbye and left.

Yuan Shouwei watched Liu Huaiyuan go, and after asking someone for Li Sisheng's address, he went straight there.

Li Sisheng's home was not far from the county government office, and Yuan Shouwei was there in just a stick of incense.

Looking at the layout of the house, it should be a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The main door opens at the "Xun" position in the southeast corner. The door is an ordinary Wutou door. The main courtyard is closed.

Yuan Shouwei stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened left and right, and a servant in common clothes flashed out.

He looked at Yuan Shouwei and asked:

"Why does this gentleman come to visit you?"

Yuan Shouwei smiled and nodded to the man and asked:
"Excuse me, Mr. Lang, is this the residence of Master Li?"

The man nodded yes.

Yuan Shouwei then smiled and took out the letter of introduction and handed it to him, and said with a smile:

"Young Lao Langjun will inform you that General Guo Xiaoke recommended Yuan Shouwei to come for a visit."

The servants obviously also have some knowledge, as soon as they heard Guo Xiaoke's name, they knew that this person had a lot of background.

He also bowed down and invited Yuan Shouwei to wait in the side hall while he went to report.

After a short meeting, the curtain of the wing door was lifted, and a tall, slender young man wearing a turban and robe walked in. It was Li Sixheng, the chief registrar of Liaocheng County.

But for some reason, he looked a little haggard and listless.

He looked at Yuan Shouwei and asked in confusion:

"Yuan Shouwei?"

"Could it be Yuan Guoshi who was exterminating locusts outside Chang'an City?" Yuan Shouwei also stood up and said:

"If I am not called Imperial Master, Chief Li can just call me Yuan Shouwei."

Li Sisheng still couldn't believe it:
"Mr. Lang, don't be joking. Yuan Guoshi should be in the Western Regions at this time."

"Could it be that you are a dear relative and friend of the Imperial Master?"

Yuan Shouwei smiled and told him about his coming to Liaocheng. As for the journey, he said that he used Taoism, so it was naturally faster than ordinary people.

After hearing this, Li Sisheng no longer had any doubts. He stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Shouwei's hand and said:

"National Master, I have admired you for a long time."

"I just regret that I didn't have the opportunity to meet each other in my hometown in Caozhou. I didn't expect to meet here today."

"Quick, quick, the national teacher, please speak upright."

Excited beyond words.

After arriving at the main hall, the two of them sat down on their knees behind the couch as guest and host.

Li Sisheng said:

"National Master, has the matter been settled?"

"Is there anything I need Si Sheng's help with?"

Yuan Shouwei smiled and replied:

"Master Li, you and I should be of the same age, and this is in private. How about using the official title?"

Li Sisheng patted the case and said:
"Okay, I didn't expect the imperial master. No, he is a Taoist priest, and he is also a person with a good temperament. That's very good."

After saying that, I changed from sitting on my knees to sitting cross-legged, also called sitting in the cross-legged position.Both of them relaxed a lot.

Yuan Shouwei said at this time:

"I'm here today. I really want to ask for something."

After that, he told the story about Liu Sanshan's family, and then continued:

"I wonder if Sisheng can take my face and say a few kind words for Liu Dashan in front of Mu Ming's house?"

After hearing this, Li Sisheng's face changed, and he called the servants who were waiting in the hall to come up and asked him to look around the main hall to prevent others from approaching.

Then he said to Yuan Shouwei:

"Taoist Priest, can I, Li Sisheng, possibly trust you?"

Seeing his cautious look, Yuan Shouwei knew that something must be wrong, so he nodded solemnly and said:
"In both public and private matters, I, Yuan Shouwei, can be trusted by Sisheng."

After saying that, he randomly found a paragraph about his experience in the Western Region and told him.

After listening to this, Li Sisheng couldn't help but raise his hands to Yuan Shouwei and said:

"The Taoist Master is truly the pillar of my Tang Dynasty."

After complimenting Yuan Shouwei, he said:

"To be honest, Taoist Master, I am currently secretly investigating the locking of Longjing."

"I think there must be something fishy in it."

"We are also trying to rescue Liu Dashan."

Yuan Shouwei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that Liu Dashan was related to Li Sisheng.

Then he opened his mouth and said:
"Sisheng, please tell me what you know. I'm becoming more and more interested in this matter."

After hearing this, Li Sisheng couldn't help but feel shocked. Because of the locking of Longjing, he always felt that he lacked a powerful helper.

Now that Yuan Shouwei said so, he naturally would not hide it and told Yuan Shouwei what he knew.

Li Sisheng had just arrived in Liaocheng not long ago. After arriving, Mu Ming Mansion also warmly welcomed him.

According to his request, he found a lot of errands for him and arranged several capable subordinates, including three errands, Liu Dashan.

He was really busy for a few days, but he soon encountered a natural disaster. Hail fell from the sky and destroyed almost half of the crops in the countryside.

Just as he was about to organize a rescue operation, he heard that Mu Ming Mansion was going to sacrifice boys and girls to the demonic dragon.
