Chapter 61: Paper Tricks
"Maoshan Sect is the Maoshan Sect we often call it. One of the most famous sects of Taoism. It was created by the San Mao Zhenjun in the early Western Han Dynasty. This sect mainly practices sutras such as Shangqing, Lingbao and the Three Emperors, and worships Yuanshi Tianwang, Taishang Dadaojun, Taiwei Tiandi, Later Saint Jinque Emperor, Taishang Laojun and others as the highest gods. They advocate thinking about the gods, reciting scriptures, cultivating merits, practicing fasting, guiding and fasting. The most famous figure in this sect is Tao Hongjing, the great master of Maoshan!
The Maoshan sect is usually far away from disputes in the martial arts world, and takes the responsibility of subduing demons and eliminating demons as its mission, helping the weak, and is deeply loved by the people. Moreover, they do not participate in the political struggle of [Liangcheng ] like the other two factions. They are relatively neutral sects, so the Maoshan sect has almost never been suppressed by the ruling class for so many years, and the incense has always been relatively strong. Its fame is the largest among the three Taoist sects.
Especially in recent years, the rise of ghost-catching zombie films, the image of Maoshan Taoist priests has appeared on film and television screens frequently, which has played a great role in promoting them. Therefore, in the world, the reputation of Maoshan Sect has always been the best!"
Chen Xiucai took a sip of wine and put down his glass: "Okay, let's talk about this today. It's getting late, we should do the job!"
Leizi and I were refreshed and happy to hear it. The legendary world is completely different from what we usually see. One day, I really want to go to the real world to see it, and I will definitely benefit a lot.
"Scholar, what method are you going to use to get Du Baoying's confession?" Village Chief Ma asked Chen Xiucai.
I was also quite curious about this. When I asked Chen Xiucai in the morning, he refused to say it, it seemed mysterious.
With Du Baoying's personality, I really can't think of any way to pry open his mouth.
After all, if you were a murderer, would you admit that you killed someone?
Of course the answer is no!
However, Chen Xiucai's next sentence surprised us even more: "I asked Old Lady Du to talk to him personally!"
ah?!
We looked at Chen Xiucai incrediblely. What does it mean to ask Mrs. Du to talk to her son in person? Can Chen Xiucai bring Mrs. Du out of the underworld? Isn't it possible? Then isn't it unnecessary to send me to the underworld?
"Master, I don't quite understand!" I said.
Chen Xiucai smiled slightly, took out the corpse-guiding bell from his arms, and shook it jingle.
Ordinary people cannot hear the mystery of this ringtone, and they feel like a messy sound. In fact, there are great tricks in this ringtone, which hides a certain sense of rhythm. This sense of rhythm is the key to manipulating the corpse.
As soon as Chen Xiucai took out the corpse-induced bell, I knew he was going to manipulate the corpse.
However, Old Mrs. Du's body is still on the back mountain. It is impossible to dig out her body, right?
Chen Xiucai smiled at me: "Let's turn around and look, Old Mrs. Du is behind you!"
I was talking in my heart how could it be possible, but my head turned around involuntarily.
Mom!
Behind me was actually a person, a black figure in a mourning dress. Isn’t it the dead old lady Du?
Actually, I was not afraid of dead bodies, but when I saw the dead old lady Du suddenly appearing behind me, I was really shocked. I was completely unprepared. I screamed and fell off the stool, making it very embarrassed.
Not only me, but the others at the dinner table were also frightened. Lei Zi and Lao Huang were coffin holders, and their reaction was slightly better. Village Chief Ma was the most frightened here, and he was stunned. He didn't know when the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. He seemed to be stupid, with a look of horror on his face: "This...this...this..."
"Master, what's going on?" I touched my painful butt and got up from the ground.
Chen Xiucai smiled faintly: "You can see clearly!"
As he said that, Chen Xiucai took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, and flicked it casually, and the yellow paper burned.
Chen Xiucai let go of his fingers, and the burning yellow paper floated swaying in front of Old Mrs. Du like a butterfly.
With the fire, we widened our eyes and observed the old lady Du in front of us.
Because Old Lady Du is behind me, I am closest to Old Lady Du and I look at it the most carefully.
"This is not Old Mrs. Du!" I exclaimed in a panic: "This is a paper man!"
"Paper Man?" Lei Zi was slightly stunned, reached out and touched Old Mrs. Du's body, and shouted in surprise: "Paper Man! It's indeed a paper man!"
The paper man in front of him is about the same figure as Old Lady Du, and the paper man has a very similar face to Old Lady Du and is wearing a pitch-black shroud. Therefore, in the dark night in the darkness, it is easy to regard this paper man as the dead Old Lady Du.
To put it bluntly, this is a trick. We were all deceived by this paper-made old lady Du, which shows that this trick was successful.
"Master, did you do this paper-made man?" I looked at Chen Xiucai with admiration. I didn't expect that Chen Xiucai would have such superb craftsmanship. If I could learn one-tenth of Chen Xiucai's ability, it would be enough to travel around the world.
Chen Xiucai nodded: "I asked Village Chief Ma to find a photo of Mrs. Du during his lifetime, and then compared the photos and became a paper-made man for Mrs. Du. Later, I will use the method of driving the corpse to control this paper-made man. What kind of reaction would they have if the couple of Lao San and Lao San saw Mrs. Du suddenly appear in front of them?"
I suddenly realized and immediately understood Chen Xiucai's intention. He wanted to use this paper to break through Du Baoying's psychological defense and let Du Baoying tell the fact that he killed his mother in person.
This move is quite clever, and I feel that it should be able to make it work.
In fact, what Chen Xiucai mastered was the psychological state of Du Baoying being a thief and was guilty. As long as he could defeat Du Baoying's psychological defense line, this matter would be successful.
"Master, you are really my idol. Come on, I'll give you another cup!" Lei Zi was also impressed by Chen Xiucai and quickly toasted Chen Xiucai.
Chen Xiucai waved his hand: "I won't drink it for the time being, let's drink it after finishing the business! Village Chief Ma, have I asked the person you are looking for?"
Village Chief Ma looked at his watch: "Well, it should be here!"
Chen Xiucai stood up and said, "Okay, then let's start to act! Whether this paper-breaking man can work will be tried later to find out!"
Our group left the house and walked towards the Du family in the north of the village.
There was no one else on the ridge of the field at night. Chen Xiucai shook the corpse-guiding bell in front of him, and the paper-killing man followed us staggeredly. The fork eyes looked no different from the real person, but his steps seemed a little stiff.
When I arrived at the north side of the village, I saw a figure standing under a low wall from a distance.
Seeing our group, the figure came up to greet Village Chief Ma.
He was a peasant woman in her fifties, with a pancake face and looked very ordinary.
"Master, is she?" I don't understand why Chen Xiucai invited this peasant woman.
Chen Xiucai said: "She is Mrs. Wang, the one who often goes to the town to sell tofu!"
I said oh, I have heard of Mrs. Wang’s name. Her family’s ancestral tofu is quite famous in this area, but I don’t quite understand what our affairs tonight have to do with Mrs. Wang, why should we invite Mrs. Wang?
Chen Xiucai smiled and said, "You are stupid. Now we have a paper-made person. I have to make some sounds realistic. I thought about it and Mrs. Wang's voice is closer to Mrs. Du. Because she shouts all year round, her voice sounds hoarse and old, so I asked Village Chief Ma to invite Mrs. Wang to help!"
Village Chief Ma asked Mrs. Wang: "Are you proficient in memorizing the lines I gave to you?"
Mrs. Wang said: "No problem, I'm all familiar with it!"
We came to the outside of the Du family's courtyard gate. The Du family was quiet. Du Baoying and his wife should have gone to bed. There was no entertainment in the countryside, so they usually rested early. Recently, Du Baoying and his wife lost all their money by gambling and often stayed at home all day and didn't dare to go out.
We lay on the earth wall outside and hid our good figures.
At this time, Chen Xiucai manipulated the paper-killer to stand in the center of the yard, and then stopped shaking the corpse-guiding bell to avoid alarming the snake. Moreover, the paper-killer stood in the shadow in the center of the yard, and it was not easy to be exposed. No matter from any angle, he looked like a real old lady Du, standing there in a shroud, looking a little scary.
Chen Xiucai picked up a small stone and shot it out, hitting the window of the wing room with a bang.
Soon, light appeared in the wing room, and Du Baoying's voice came from the room: "Who the fuck is knocking on my window in the middle of the night?"
Du Baoying cursed and walked out of the wing room in pairs of shorts.
Du Baoying looks like a thin monkey, with a bunch of pork ribs, looking like an addict.
He yawned and cursed in vain. He seemed very annoyed that his dream was disturbed by others.
At this time, Old Mrs. Du, who was standing in the middle of the yard, spoke: "Third brother, it's me!"
Of course, this is not a paper-based person talking, but a voice-over by Mrs. Wang outside the yard.
I was so happy when I heard this. Hey, let alone, Mrs. Wang's voice is indeed very similar to that of Mrs. Du, because when I was in the underworld, I remember her voice. When Mrs. Wang said this, it felt like Old Mrs. Du was really talking. Even I had an illusion that Mrs. Du was really alive.
Du Baoying stood at the door for two seconds, then let out a terrified scream: "Oh my god!"
Chapter completed!
