"I heard that he died because of being promoted to an official position." Speaking of this, the wild Taoists couldn't help but secretly take a breath.
This involves covering the prisoner's face with mulberry paper and pouring water on it. The mulberry paper becomes soft due to moisture and is immediately placed on the face, making it difficult for the prisoner to breathe. The second and third sheets are then covered, and usually by the fifth sheet, the person becomes numb.
died.
Five pieces of mulberry paper stacked together, peeled off and opened, have distinct concavities and convexities, just like the masks of "Tiaojiaguan" on the stage. This is the origin of the name "Tiaojiaguan".
The wild Taoist thought carefully and trembled as if he was frightened: "I heard that since his death, strange things have happened in the prison one after another, and several people have died in the cells next to him. The prison has hired someone to deal with the matter."
"My communication eye is very scared. I spent a little more money to agree to continue to report."
This matter is urgent. If you delay it, you won't see the effect. Su Ziji dropped his chopsticks and stood up directly: "Let's go and take a look."
Then he said to Ye Buhui: "Buhui, I have something urgent to do and I have to go out, so I won't have lunch at the house."
Ye Buhui heard something from the conversation between the two and said, "My husband is just going to do some work."
When Su Ziji and the wild Taoist came out of the main courtyard, the ox cart was already ready. After getting on the ox cart, they went out from the door and headed towards their destination.
"There is a restaurant in front of the prison. I booked a private room in the nearest restaurant on the third floor, so I can see the conditions of the prison." The wild Taoist said on the road.
This is actually not difficult. The private rooms on the third floor cost more than the halls on the first and second floors. With this spare money, if there is no need, I will not go to the prison to eat. Most of them are considered unlucky if they are rich.
The business in restaurants next to the prison is often not as good as elsewhere, so the boss doesn't have time to be happy.
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was obviously lunch time, but except for the crowd on the first floor, there were not many people in the lobby on the second floor. When they got to the private room on the third floor, it was even quieter along the way.
Not to mention, this place may not be an ordinary place to eat, but it is a good place to observe the situation in the prison.
"Sir, you can see the prison from here." After asking the waiter to serve tea and a few signature dishes, the wild Taoist introduced Su Ziji who came in.
Each private room has a window that can see outside. Su Ziji walked to the window and looked down. Sure enough, in the distance was the prison. From here, he could see the entrance of the prison, but because the prison building was closed, it was not possible to see the outside.
I can't see what's going on inside the prison.
But this was enough. Although Su Ziji couldn't see anything, he just closed his eyes slightly and could feel a coldness overflowing from the prison.
This coldness is not the coldness of a cloudy winter day, but a darker and more chilling atmosphere.
Not only Su Ziji, but also ordinary people could feel something strange to some extent. Many people speeded up when passing by the prison and did not dare to approach.
"My Lord, there are soldiers coming." The wild Taoist said at this time: "It seems that something is wrong?"
"There's something wrong. Look at those armored soldiers." Su Ziji looked at the armored soldiers surrounding the prison and motioned to the wild Taoist to watch carefully.
The wild Taoist looked carefully and his face became more solemn: "These people seem to be trembling?"
"They are not afraid, it is the yin energy that has entered their bodies."
Evil ghosts cause trouble and affect ordinary people from their auras. These armored soldiers all carry aura. Not to mention evil ghosts, even little monsters should be around. However, they are the ones who can do nothing about the evil inside.
The ghost was affected by its breath.
The wild Taoist was surprised: "It's incredible that evil spirits can still appear in this place in the capital."
Yes, that's what made Su Ziji feel incredible.
In the capital city, big monsters will be entangled when they come. Even if this Qin ancestor is really a monster, what is so special about him that he can cause trouble at the feet of the emperor after his death?
Even though he had dreamed about it in his dream, Su Ziji was still shocked when he actually saw it and discovered that it had actually happened.
He thought to himself: "In the capital, all evils can be eliminated, but there are still ghosts that can cause trouble?"
"Could it be that Duan Qin's ancestors are not ordinary monsters, but noble ones among monsters?"
"No, even if you are a noble among monsters, what can you do?"
Just when I was thinking this, I saw an ox cart approaching quickly, and then a Taoist got out of the cart.
"It's Liu Zhan." Su Ziji saw the person clearly and said softly: "For him to come to solve this matter is to overkill the situation."
Although Duan Qin turned into an evil ghost and caused trouble, Liu Zhan was a real Taoist, not an ordinary Taoist priest. Duan Qin had just turned into an evil ghost and was probably going to be killed without even a single blow.
However, Su Ziji just looked at him like this. After Duan Qinzhen turned into a devil, what little value he had left in Su Ziji's eyes was gone, so he naturally didn't care what his fate was.
"ah--"
"What's the sound?!" A moment later, a long scream rang out from the prison, and it went straight through the distance. Passers-by near the restaurant heard it and subconsciously looked towards the prison.
Some were timid and trembling all over, not daring to stay any longer.
The wild Taoist identified it: "My lord, that cold aura is gone."
"The evil ghost that just appeared didn't even have a day's work. How can he defeat the real person from the Dao Sect?" Su Ziji smiled: "Liu Zhan's old wounds have not healed, so it is easy to deal with it."
Just when I was commenting on Liu Zhan, Liu Zhan had already come out of the prison. He was not as hasty as when he came in. He frowned slightly when he came out, as if he was full of doubts and a little slow.
"You should be like me. You think that the evil ghost who can cause trouble in the prison must be an unprecedented evil ghost. He can be the king of ghosts. If you don't want to kill him in the blink of an eye, you can kill him in the blink of an eye. How can he cause trouble in the capital prison?"
"This is an endless loop. Can't you understand?"
Su Ziji was just thinking about it. Suddenly, Liu Zhan seemed to be aware of something and looked towards the restaurant. In an instant, their eyes met.
"Dai Guo Gong?" Looking at each other from a distance, Liu Zhan's pupils shrank slightly. Although the distance was not close and the face could not be seen clearly, his spiritual sense immediately found out his identity.
It's just that Su Ziji is now a nobleman of Tianhuang and has a high status. When he sees him here, he can't do anything but look away.
The food was served upstairs. Su Ziji took one look at it and stood up directly: "Let's go back."
The wild Taoist didn't know why, and it was a pity, so he immediately invited the master to go back. When he got to the bullock cart, he saw the master entering, so he found a book and read it, frowning from time to time.
"Duan Qin has indeed transformed into an evil ghost, so the dream is basically fulfilled."
"Now, we have to deal with the crisis."
This book is not a masterpiece, it is just an unofficial history, but because of the unofficial history, I like to write some eye-catching things, and one of them tells the story about the "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart".
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Long'an of the previous dynasty, he was fond of refining elixirs, and in order to make great elixirs, he used the "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart".
And this "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart" is not something else, it is the human heart. It is not the heart of ordinary people, but the heart of those who have entered the Tao.
This book is based on speculation and is close to nonsense. But after Su Ziji finished reading, he looked sternly and asked the wild Taoist: "Do you know who is the strongest alchemist in the capital?"
