Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 77
The old man took out a small bottle, took the liquid in the bottle, and sprayed it on the mahogany sword.Shouting "Kill", he slashed at the yellow talisman with his sword.

Who would have thought that where the sword was cut, there would suddenly be a bloodstain!
"Ah?" Cantaloupe blurted out, "It's... bleeding!"

Not only Cantaloupe, but everyone else was also dumbfounded.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid," the old Taoist said with a smile, "The cloth demon has been beheaded by the mountain people, and the young master's body will recover soon!"

Xiao Daotong urged: "The real person will help you get rid of the demon... Hurry up and give me the money..."

"Don't worry!" Feng Shen stretched out his fingers to dip some demon blood on the talisman, and sniffed it in front of his nose, "I'm afraid it's not blood, is it?"

The face of the old Taoist changed: "Why...why isn't it blood? The young master is safe, so he wants to renege on his debt? If the mountain people can kill monsters, they can recruit them... If the young master is not benevolent, don't blame... don't blame the mountain people for being unrighteous !"

"Hahaha," Feng Shen removed the quilt and said with a smile, "The Immortal Elder can pinch and count, so why can't he figure out that Feng is pretending to be sick?"

"What?" Both master and apprentice were dumbfounded, "Fake it?"

"That's right!" Feng Shen sternly sternly said, "What kind of tricks are you playing, and you haven't recruited them honestly?"

The old Taoist clenched his teeth and refused to admit it: "What kind of move? That's the master's powerful spells..."

"Hmph," Feng Shen sneered, "Although I didn't know it, I know it's nothing more than a trick. You're not afraid of being taken away by the government if you're bluffing and deceiving?"

The old Taoist said stubbornly: "The government has to be reasonable, right? How can they take people for no reason? My Taoist fairy art, you don't want to get your hands on it!"

"Okay! The Immortal Elder refuses to submit, so Feng will be rude," Feng Shen shouted, "Cantaloupe, look at your tricks!"

Tang Zijun cheered at his sister: "You are also good at this kind of thing!"

When Xianggua and Tang Ziqi heard about it, their childlike innocence grew.Although the two of them often bickered, they stood side by side at this moment.Cheering and jumping on the old man, one pulled his hair and the other pulled out his beard, making a fuss.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Daotong was anxious, "Quick... Let go of the real man!"

Feng Quan picked him up and said, "Let's just watch it here and let your master turn into a monk for you to see! Hahaha..."

The old man is getting older, how can he stand up to this noise?After a while, they begged for mercy: "Say it! I'll tell you everything! Quick... tell them to stop!"

Seeing that the old man was willing to say it, Feng Shen hurriedly stopped the second daughter.Xianggua and Tang Ziqi couldn't finish it, so they had no choice but to stand aside.

After a long time, the old Taoist reluctantly revealed the mystery:

They did hear the rumors and wanted to fish in troubled waters.All the previous rhetoric is nothing more than confusing the public and talking nonsense.The "Sword Cutting the Cloth Demon" is the highlight.The so-called "monster arresting charm" is soaked in the juice boiled from the rhizome of turmeric.Both the juice and the talisman are yellow, and naturally no abnormality can be seen after drying.

Before "Slaying the Demon", the old Taoist once sprayed water on the mahogany sword.That water is nothing but alkaline water.Alkaline water will turn bright red when it meets turmeric juice.In this way, the yellow talisman is "dripping with blood".

"Is that true?" Feng Shen was suddenly overjoyed, "I want that bottle of alkaline water!"

"My lord..." The old man had a bitter look on his face, "Your hometown has a big business, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing...Why do you bother to earn a living from us?"

"I have other uses!" Feng Shen hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, we won't spread this 'immortal technique' of yours!"

Feng Shen said, grabbed the bottle of alkaline water, and went straight to the study.

Seeing Feng Shen's agitation, the others were quite puzzled.

Standing upright, the little Taoist boy cried out, "Master... how can this be good? Don't tell me you didn't make money, but you still got a chicken..."

"Who said there's no money to take?" Cantaloupe took out a few taels of silver, and stuffed it together with the dead chicken on the ground, and gave it to Xiaodaotong, "Brother Feng has already ordered! Don't cry, take the chicken away, we don't want yours , go back and make some soup."

Seeing that there is money to take, the master and apprentice are overjoyed.

Tang Zijun shook his hand and pointed out the dart: "Go out and say a word, I don't have eyes!"

"Don't worry, good man! Don't worry, good man!" The old man was frightened, "I just pretend I haven't been here, I just pretend I haven't been here..."

"Just know! Go!"

Upon hearing this, the master and apprentice packed up their things indiscriminately and ran away as if they had received an amnesty.

They didn't dare to stop until they couldn't see Feng's house.

"Ah..." The old man sighed, "Hunting geese all day long, but the geese pecked at their eyes. This Imperial City of Gyeonggi is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... Well, this game is not going to work, so we will go to tomorrow Let's mix in other provinces..."

It is not Feng Shen's intention to make things difficult for the old Taoist to reveal his "window paper".Just because the "demon blood" developed, Feng Shen had a flash of inspiration.

Did this secret method be used for the silk handkerchief concealed in the front block?Feng Shen thought of this, so he urgently tried it.

Feng Shen took out a silk handkerchief and dripped a few drops of alkaline water on it.But after waiting for a long time, there was no red mark on the silk handkerchief.

"Could it be that the dose is not enough?" Feng Shen simply sprinkled more.

But the whole bottle of lye was drained, and the silk handkerchief was still plain except for getting wet.

Just as he was wondering, the door of the study suddenly opened wide, and Xianggua barged in: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng...I sent them away!"

Feng Shen saw it and secretly complained.In the rush before, I forgot to latch the door.

"Huh?" Xianggua looked at the desk and asked, "What is that?"

"It's nothing!" Feng Shen hurriedly covered himself, "You can go out first..."

Where is muskmelon willing to listen?With a dodge, he walked around to the table and grabbed it.Whether Feng Shen wanted to stop him, the silk handkerchief was snatched by Xianggua.

"A good handkerchief, why is it still wet?" Xianggua blushed, "Brother Feng...is this for me?"

"Don't mess around!" Feng Shen scolded, and took back the silk handkerchief.

Before, the muskmelon hugged the decapitated chicken, and the blood of the chicken was inadvertently stained on the sleeve.After fighting with Feng Shen, the blood stains on the cuffs were rubbed on the handkerchief, which was mixed with alkaline water, and a large part was smeared.

"Oops!" Feng Shen stamped his feet anxiously, "This is important physical evidence!"

"Ah?" Seeing that he had caused trouble, Xianggua was terrified, "I... I didn't mean to..."

Feng Shen had no time to scold, but just wiped it off in a hurry.After wiping it twice, Feng Shen was startled suddenly, and with a trembling voice, he called out "Cantaloupe!"

Hearing something wrong, Xianggua shuddered, thinking that Feng Shen was about to scold, turned around and wanted to run.

"Cantaloupe!" Feng Shen grabbed it and said excitedly, "You are such a lucky star!"

"What?" Xianggua was stunned, and murmured, "Brother Feng...are you confused by my anger?"

Feng Shen didn't care to say more, so he wiped some blood from the melon sleeve and smeared it on the handkerchief.Cantaloupe didn't dare to let out its air, and hid aside, peeping.

The blood smeared more and more scattered, dyeing the whole veil red.But that piece of red is divided into shades.Some traces of silk traces are gradually revealed.

To find out, Feng Shen asked Xianggua to borrow a hairpin.After looking at the handkerchief with the horn of the hairpin for a while, I finally got a glimpse of the doorway.

It turns out that Napa is not all made of silk.In the meantime, there is even silver hair in between!Silk and white hair are very similar in color, and they are both clean and smooth.If no one points it out, how can you tell the difference?It is soft and silky, easy to absorb and dye; the hair is firm and firm, and it is difficult for oil and water to penetrate.If it hadn't been for melon's accidental collision, Feng Shen would not know how long he would have thought about it!

As the traces gradually became clear, Feng Shen was also fascinated by it.Seeing this, Xianggua gently tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Brother Feng, there are many stripes on this handkerchief... What do you see?"

Feng Shen was overjoyed for a moment, but forgot to avoid the muskmelon. After she asked, she came back to her senses: "This matter is very important, it's better that you don't know it! What you saw just now must not be revealed to others. Once you make a mistake, It will lead to a catastrophe!"

"Yeah!" Seeing Feng Shen's serious face, Xianggua nodded vigorously, "I won't tell anyone!"

Now that the secret has been discovered, it is imperative to report it to the governor.After Feng Shen sent the cantaloupe away, he hid the eight yuan handkerchief next to his body, and was ready to go out.

Before leaving, Feng Shen deliberately disguised himself and borrowed a jacket from Feng Quan.He carefully avoided people along the way, and quietly came to the secret door of the Shuntian Mansion's back yamen.Taking advantage of no one nearby, Feng Shen took down a brick by the door frame, and stretched his hand to pull the string inside a few times.

The thin rope is secretly passed through the verandah, and secretly passes through the inner hall.As long as you shake the rope outside, the small bell hanging on the hall will ring softly.

Hearing the bell ring, Fu Yin knew that Feng Shen was coming, he put down his pen and went out, and after sending the sentry officer to another place, he welcomed Feng Shen in.

"My lord," Feng Shen's voice was low, but he couldn't hide his excitement, "The humble official... has found out the secret of Pazhong!"

"Wonderful!" Fu Yin was also overjoyed, "What kind of method is it?"

Feng Shen hurriedly took out the bloodstained silk handkerchief, and reported the mystery to the governor.In order to see the whole picture, the two decided to try the remaining seven veils according to the law.

It's just that in the government office, no live poultry has been raised, and chicken blood cannot be obtained in a hurry.While feeling worried, Feng Shen caught a glimpse of Fu Yin's case.Usually, it is uncommon in the yamen to approve and stamp paintings, so there are always some red fats for researching ink pads.

The vermilion fat released when it met the water, its color was red, exactly the same as the chicken blood.After they adjusted the red fat, they painted and dyed the rest of the silk handkerchiefs one by one.

Not long after, all the hidden imprints in Pa Jian were revealed.After Feng Shen put it together for a while, he actually put together a huge picture.On the four sides of the picture, there are dragons, tigers, sparrows and xuan painted on each side.But the middle part is not so much a painting as a scribble.In many places, there are only a few strokes by Liao, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.Like words but not words, class diagrams are not diagrams.

After pondering for a while, Fu Yin asked: "What can my nephew see?"

Feng Shen shook his head, and said: "This map is dotted with stars, but it's in disarray... The humble job is also helpless..."

Fu Yin wondered: "Could it be that you spelled the order wrong?"

"Probably not," Feng Shen said, "the corners of each handkerchief reveal a part of the four-element diagram. Put together in one place, they are Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. These four images coincide with east, west, North and south. Based on this, there will be no mistakes."
