Forty-five Warlock Diao

In the ninth year of Yuanheng in Dali, Xuanzong's mother was ill for a long time. Xuanzong issued an order to order Li Jing, the magistrate of Eryuan County, to supervise the construction of a seven-story octagonal pagoda in front of Huacong Mountain to pray for the Empress Dowager's longevity. The edict was completed by the end of the year.

If you miss the deadline, Li Jing will be sentenced to death!

After receiving the order, Li Jing rushed to prepare materials and ordered the craftsmen to start construction. However, the progress of the project was extremely unfavorable. When the tower was built on the third floor, a strong wind suddenly hit, and several of the craftsmen on the frame fell and were injured. Misfortunes never come singly, and the load-bearing wood of the tower was damaged the next day.

The beam suddenly broke. Afterwards, there were different opinions, all saying that the tower was evil, and all the craftsmen abandoned the work one after another. The imperial court stipulated that the construction period was approaching, but the tower stayed on the third floor.

Li Jing was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and he was in panic all day long. He asked several Taoist monks to do some tricks to ward off evil spirits. After observing this, they all said that his Taoism and practice were shallow and there was nothing he could do about it. The wooden pagoda was built under the supervision of an imperial edict, and Li Jing did not dare to go to the memorial to explain it.

If there is something wrong, I dare not move it. However, if I miss the construction period, I will be guilty of confiscating my family and exterminating my family! Li Jing will not succeed if he advances, and he will not succeed if he retreats. He is suffering from a sudden fire and a strange disease of swollen neck. He has consulted various doctors in Xinglin for treatment, but it is difficult to cure.

The disease became more and more serious, the neck was as swollen as a butt, and the throat was as thin as a chopstick, to the point where it was difficult to swallow water or rice, and it was difficult to speak and vomit.

All the famous doctors were helpless, and Li Jing was disheartened. He thought: Your Majesty has not yet destroyed my clan. I am suffering from this strange disease, so I have to put an end to it! Master Sun in the palace came up with a plan and said: "Sir, I heard that the strange disease is caused by evil spirits. If you post this

Notice, please invite capable strangers, who may be able to do it." Li Jing nodded and gave it a try, hoping for a chance to try it.

A few days after the notice was posted, a magician named Diao from Dehong Prefecture came here and saw the notice at the city gate. He posted the notice and claimed that he could cure this strange disease. The magician used animals to cast spells and medicine, and he traveled everywhere.

The Jianghu atmosphere was so strong that it was difficult to enter the elegant hall, but Li Jing ignored it to save his life and respectfully invited Warlock Diao into the house. Li Jing saw that although Warlock Diao was as skinny as wood, he had strange bones and bright eyes, so he saluted and pointed to himself.

My neck hurts and I can't speak.

After seeing Li Jing's condition, the warlock Diao comforted him and said, "You don't need to take your pulse to find out your illness. This strange disease can be cured today and cured tomorrow." Li Jing was unhappy when he heard this. How could he know his condition without taking his pulse? He couldn't

I was moved and thinking secretly in my heart: If this person is difficult to cure my disease, I will accuse him of deceiving an official and put him in jail!

Warlock Diao set up the altar table, lit candles, and ordered Li Jing's men to catch a toad, put a bowl full of rice wine on the table, and put nine insect pupae in the wine bowl. He waved his sword and drew circles in the air, and said

He muttered something and suddenly threw the toad into the air. When the toad landed on the table, he quickly caught it and cut its throat with a sword. The blood burst out and fell into the bowl. Then he raised the wine bowl to Li Jing and toasted:

"Please take it, sir, and you will be cured!" Li Jing saw the insect pupae squirming in the dirty blood in the bowl, and felt sick in his heart. However, in order to save his life, he gritted his teeth and drank it. Suspecting that it was a lie, he ordered his men to invite the warlock Diao in.

Let the room rest for two days to test it.

As the magician said, after an hour, Li Jing felt that the swelling in his neck was gradually disappearing. In the evening, he felt that his neck was back to normal, his breathing was even, and he could eat and drink without obstruction. The next day, the strange illness he had suffered for many days was cured. It was really amazing! Li Jing

He was overjoyed and ordered his men to hold a feast to thank Warlock Diao for saving his life.

During the banquet, Master Sun whispered to Li Jing: "This warlock really has magical powers. We might as well let him solve the difficulty of building a tower and help you to be safe." The words hit the point. Li Jing held a wine glass and toasted in front of Warlock Diao, and said politely: "

The master saved my life and gave me a new life. However, no matter how powerful the master's magic is, I can only live for one more year." Diao Warlock did not understand what he meant, and asked in confusion: "I don't understand, why do you say this?

"Li Jing then described the matter of building the pagoda auspiciously. The magician Diao has been traveling around the world for many years and is accustomed to being forthright and straightforward. When he heard Li Jing's detailed description, he thought: Although your words are euphemistic, I have already understood it. It is just for me to explain the process of building the pagoda.

It's difficult. He frowned and said calmly: "You are not generous at all. When you ask me to solve the problem, you don't speak directly, but you talk in a roundabout way. It's like you asked me to treat a disease the day before yesterday, but you doubted me. It's really your words and deeds that are inconsistent with each other!"

When Li Jing heard these angry words, he was angry. You, a little charlatan, dared to humiliate me in public like this, which made me angry! However, Diao Warlock had the grace to save his life, so Li Jing couldn't help but make the situation embarrassing. At this time,

Just as the maid was bringing the dishes to the entrance, Master Sun took advantage of this and said: "Master, please try this dish. This is a gladiator dish, cooked with the horns of two sheep heads." Unexpectedly, the magician was not polite, pushed the plate and refused, saying: "

The sheep's head is an offering, and I will not eat it. Please let me observe the pagoda tomorrow, and I will make sure that the difficulty of building the pagoda is eliminated, so as to relieve Mr. Li's worries."

The words of the magician hit the nail on the head, which made Li Jing lose face. The county magistrate actually humiliated a gangster. It was really a joke. Li Jing was originally narrow-minded and pretended to be polite on the surface, but his resentment was buried deep in his heart.

The next morning, Li Jing took Warlock Diao to the place where the pagoda was built. The tower was built on the west side of Haixi Lake and in front of Huacong Mountain. Warlock Diao stood in front of the tower and looked far into the distance, seeing mountains overlapping each other. He looked back and smiled and said: "This is

How can a pagoda covering the eyes of the mountain god be destroyed without the beams collapsing?" Li Jing heard this and was puzzled: "If this is the case, why did the Taoist priests and eminent monks not say anything before?" Warlock Diao said coldly: "You are unwise, this pagoda is an imperial edict.

As a supervisor, who dares to say too much?" Warlock Diao hit the nail on the head again, and Li Jing suddenly realized that the Taoist priests and eminent monks were not incapable of doing anything, but that they actually hindered the authority of the emperor and did not dare to reveal the mystery.

Li Jing begged, "Master, is there any way to solve the problem? If the construction cannot be completed as scheduled, my life and that of my family will be at stake." Warlock Diao thought for a long time and felt that Li Jing was not a trustworthy person.

The innocent people were harmed, so he felt pity and said: "I can help you set up a wish-fulfillment bureau to solve the problem, but it requires the blood of a hundred goats to seal their throats. Within one year, no one of this kind can be harmed in Eryuan County."

Is it okay to repay the animal with this?"

Li Jing fully agreed, ordered the soldiers to collect goats, and issued a decree: from now on in Eryuan County, goats are not allowed to be killed within one year, and any offenders will be killed! In less than three days, a hundred goats were collected, and the warlock used the throats of the hundred goats.

A yellow talisman was written in blood, buried under the base of the tower, and said: "With this yellow talisman, the mountain god must know that building this tower is to fulfill his wish. If you don't break your wish, the tower will be successfully completed. If you break it, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

That’s it.”

Warlock Diao wanted to retire after his success, but Li Jing blocked him in every possible way. Firstly, he wanted to see the effect of the yellow talisman, and secondly, he wanted to keep Warlock Diao for future use. However, Warlock Diao was a person who traveled around the world and broadcast good seeds.

, Can An be bound by this? He flatly refused in public. Li Jing turned his face and shouted: "You were so rude and rude during the banquet a few days ago, and now you don't know how to show your respect, which embarrasses me. I ask you to rest in prison for a few years and rest."

It’s my fault that I’m unkind.”

The warlock Diao was imprisoned, and he learned the hard way, but it was too late to regret it! He immediately scolded Li Jing and scolded Li Jing for being worse than a beast. However, Li Jing knew the basics of the warlock Diao. He could not control animals and could not cast spells to escape, just like an ordinary commoner.

There was a jailer in the prison, whose surname was Wei Hu. He was originally a scholar. Because he failed many times and his family was in decline, he had no choice but to take the post of jailer. One day, the warlock saw Wei Hu's elegant behavior and concluded that he had no ambition.

He was a scholar, so he took the opportunity of delivering the meal to have a chat with Wei Hu. Wei Hu had seen Warlock Diao's magic and was willing to chat about it. After several times, the two became more and more affectionate. Warlock Diao said bluntly: "I can't look at you."

If you are willing to help me escape from prison, I will let you have a prosperous official career and a career of thousands of miles. Are you willing?" Wei Hu nodded and asked, "I am willing to open the cell and help Mr. escape from prison, but here I am.

The supervision is extremely strict and there are layers of defenses. How can I escape safely?" Warlock Diao said, "Don't worry, I have a wonderful way to escape." Wei Hu asked what method he could use to escape safely. Warlock Diao said, "You can escape tomorrow."

If you catch two live rats, take them to the prison, and deliver them into my hands, you will be successful."

The next morning, Wei Hu obeyed Warlock Diao's instructions and captured two rats and brought them to prison. Warlock Diao took Wei Hu's waist knife, cut off the rat's throat, pinched the secrets and recited a mantra, and used the Qimen Dunjia technique to escape with Wei Hu.

He traveled hundreds of miles to Dehong Prefecture and returned to his hometown.

Warlock Diao took two red and blue pills and handed them to Wei Hu, and said: "This is a panacea that can cure all kinds of diseases. The Queen Mother is currently ill for a long time and cannot be cured. You can offer this medicine to the court and you will be rewarded. Let the queen take this red pill first."

, the condition will be cured immediately. You will tell me later that if you recover, you must take the blue pill in the twelfth lunar month of this year. When taking it, you need to take the medicine first." Wei Hu asked what the medicine was for, and Diao Warlock said: "You will go to Er on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

I will tell you the source."

Li Jing was shocked when he heard that the warlock Diao had escaped from prison. He was afraid that if the warlock broke the vow bureau, all his previous achievements would be wasted. He looked up the book in panic and saw a message in the book: Anyone who sets up a votive bureau and breaks it himself will be punished by God and die. He is a little relieved.

, it was expected that the magician Diao would never dare to do it himself. It was approaching the end of the year, the construction period was approaching, and the tower was built to the seventh floor. When it was about to be completed, an imperial envoy from the imperial court suddenly came here. The imperial envoy was not here to supervise the project, but to collect medicine and lead it here. The imperial envoy came here.

Who? It was the jailer Wei Huye. Wei Hu performed meritoriously by offering medicine, and was appointed as an imperial envoy by the emperor. He went to Eryuan to collect medicine and pray for the queen's recovery.

After Wei Hu arrived at Eryuan, he remained calm and stayed in the camp to wait for Warlock Diao. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Warlock Diao arrived as promised. Wei Hu felt at ease. If Warlock Diao did not provide the medicine, Wei Hu would not be able to escape the deception.

The sin of the king. The magician Diao handed the prescription of medicine to Wei Hu. He unfolded it and read the letter: Just drop the blood from the throat of a goat in Eryuan County into a bowl, mix it with red pills and take it on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Then the Queen Mother's illness can be cured.

After Wei Hu read the prescription, he raised his eyes and looked at Warlock Diao again. Warlock Diao had disappeared. Wei Hu realized at this moment that Warlock Diao’s intention was clear. This medicine prescription would definitely defeat Li Jing’s wish-fulfillment. If he did not follow Warlock Diao’s wishes, he would do it.

If left alone, the Queen Mother's illness would not be cured and her life would end. After weighing the pros and cons, life-saving was of course the top priority, so she handed the medicine and prescription to Li Jing and ordered him to take care of it immediately.

When Li Jing saw that the medicine had been prescribed, he suddenly became pale and horrified. However, he did not dare to disobey the order and had to obey the order. He knew that after the medicine was introduced, his life would be over. One night, he suddenly suffered from a strange illness again.

He couldn't afford to be ill, just waiting for bad luck to come. When the Buddha dawned, he saw the magician entering the bedroom in a daze. Li Jing pointed at the magician and said, "I know you are playing tricks on this, what are you doing?" The magician scolded him: "You have a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs.

! I cured you of strange illnesses and helped you set up a wish-fulfilling bureau and build a tower, but you repaid your kindness with vengeance, and actually threw me into prison, where I suffered so much that I was left to die!" Li Jing said: "You are a monster who kills animals indiscriminately.

, set up a deadlock, and use Wei Hu's hand to frame me..." Before he finished speaking, Diao Warlock laughed wildly and said: "You know, the blue and red pills are the medicine to bring the dead back to life. There is no need to use medicine to induce it, just because of revenge, it is in vain.

From now on, I will never do anything to kill a goat again. This was all caused by you. How can you do it without being punished?" After Li Jing heard this, his blood and energy surged up, and he screamed for his life!

The next day, the tower suddenly collapsed. When the emperor heard about it, he was furious and punished him. However, Li Jing was already dead. He had no choice but to see that his mother had recovered from his illness, so he ordered his family to be raided instead of exterminating his clan.
