Chapter 75 Talking
"I'm waiting, I don't know what I'm waiting for." The strange man in the wooden barrel was really scary, making everyone present sweat profusely.

Everyone didn't know what the governor intended to do. They just felt that the strange man on the wooden barrel was very scary. Without thinking too much, they quickly rejected it. They didn't even care that the person asking the questions was a first-rank official, the Governor-General of Liangjiang.

Only Li Daoxuan looked at the master of the Wang family in the barrel, and then looked at Liu Kunyi with a stern expression, and then he stood up and said, "The boy may know who he is."

"Oh? Whose child are you?" Liu Kun felt a little fond of Li Daoxuan when he saw that he was fair, tender and handsome. He asked with a gentle tone, looking at him and smiling.

"My surname is Li Daoxuan. I am not an adult yet, so I don't have a pseudonym. My father, Li Zhongren, is a merchant in Jinling. I have also heard my father talk about the governor." Li Daoxuan calmly reported his background in detail.

He had no specific idea of ​​the rank of officials in this era. He just thought that the characters in TV dramas in his previous life, those who were open and generous and not submissive, could be appreciated by these senior officials.

After listening to this, Liu Kun stroked his beard and thought, then looked at Master Li and said, "I remember you, Jinling Li Family."

"I am truly honored that the Governor still remembers me." Mr. Li quickly stood up and thanked him gratefully.

Liu Kunyi ignored Master Li and looked at Li Daoxuan: "You kid, you just said you knew who this person is. Then tell me who he is and why he is in this barrel?"

"This is easy. Could you please give me a few things, sir?" Li Daoxuan said calmly.

"Oh? What do you want?" Liu Kunyi became interested, looked at Li Daoxuan and asked with a smile. "If I fulfill your request, but you fail to fulfill my request, what should I do?"

"It should be done as it should be." Li Daoxuan replied.

"Okay! Then I'll see what you, little kid, can do to let me know this man's identity." Liu Kunyi readily agreed to Li Daoxuan's request. He asked people to get rice wine, black paper, cinnabar, unused wolf hair brushes, and the blood of a three-year-old rooster according to Li Daoxuan's instructions.

These four things were not difficult to find, and the servants found them quickly.

Li Daoxuan took four things and placed them on the table. He first ground cinnabar and chanted the incantation, "The divine cinnabar is bright and clear. Draw talismans to ban ghosts and keep peace. Grind it once and the heaven and earth will shake. Grind it twice and the underworld will issue an order. Hurry up and obey the law!"

Then add the rice wine and stir. Then the incantation begins again, "The Jade Emperor has issued an order. The divine ink is blazing. It is shaped like clouds and mist, with nine stars on it. Grind the divine ink lightly. Hurry up and obey the order!"

Then use your fingers as knives to cut the black paper into rectangles.

Then he washed his hands and face, bowed three times towards the east, walked around the table, and chanted the mantra again, "Taishangtaixing, respond to changes without stopping. Exorcise evil spirits, bind demons, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear, mind is peaceful. Hurry up and obey the command!"

"Danzhu, the mouth god, spits out filth and removes evil. Tongue god Zhenglun, connects life and nourishes the spirit. Luo Qian, the tooth god, repels evil and guards the true wrath!"

"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body. The disciple's soul, the five internal organs, the dark. Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the troops are in a hurry as ordered!"

After five consecutive incantations, he finally walked to the table, picked up a wolf hair brush and dipped it in cinnabar. He pinched the Tian Gang Jue, and the tip of the brush moved like a dragon. He mobilized the energy in the elixir to the tip of the brush, and quickly drew a black talisman.

Hit the talisman three times with the tip of the brush, put away the wolf hair and dip cinnabar on the fingertips, use the diamond sword finger to command the talisman, and press the fingers tightly on the talisman.

After this whole process, someone is called to burn the incense.

“The Tao is learned from the heart, and the heart is passed on through incense. In the jade censer with incense swallows, the emperor keeps his mind and orders his ministers to report, which will reach the nine heavens.” Light the fireworks and let the smoke circle the censer three times, and the talisman will be complete.

Li Daoxuan took the talisman and handed it to Liu Kunyi, then pointed at the human pig in the wooden barrel and said, "It's done."

"Just this talisman will do?" Liu Kunyi looked at the talisman handed over and couldn't help but frowning slightly. He was a scholar and never liked such supernatural things. There were many people in the court and the harem who believed in gods and worshipped Buddha, so he would often give some advice.

Now I met a kid who could actually draw talismans to fool people. Liu Kun just felt funny and stroked his beard and said, "This man has become a pig, his mouth can't speak, his mouth can't talk. Can this talisman make him speak? Don't lie to me."

"Of course I dare not lie to you, sir." Li Daoxuan said respectfully. "Whether it works or not, you just need to press this amulet on the forehead of this human pig and try it out. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you blame me without even trying it, then isn't that groundless?" "Haha, good boy, you actually dare to say that I am groundless. If I don't try this amulet once or twice, wouldn't I be in vain bearing the infamy of Qin Hui? Okay! I'll give it a try."

Liu Kun held the talisman in one hand and walked towards the human pig. He stopped in front of the wooden barrel and pasted the black talisman on the human pig's forehead.

The next moment, the man-pig was shaking like crazy, shaking his head and twitching on the spot. It was as if struck by lightning, and his whole body was numb. The tongueless mouth made a sound of "uh uh uh", as if it was fighting against something.

"What's going on?" Liu Kunyi looked at Li Daoxuan.

"Don't be anxious, sir. Please wait patiently for a moment." Li Daoxuan said without fear. Although this was the first time he drew the talisman, he did not think the talisman would become ineffective.

Liu Kunyi waited for a while and saw that the human pig had calmed down, with its head standing in the middle of the wooden barrel without moving.

"Sir, you can ask him the question now." Li Daoxuan said loudly.

Liu Kun looked at Li Daoxuan and the man in the barrel suspiciously, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Can you listen to me?"

"Sir, sir..." The voice of the human pig came intermittently.

Liu Kun was shocked when he heard this. He stared at the human pig's head for a long time before he recovered a little.

Then he asked again: "Who are you?"

"Sir... My name is Wang Zhaoquan, and I am from the Wang family of Jinling..."

Mr. Wang in the wooden barrel told the truth bit by bit, and when everything came to light, Liu Kunyi was stunned. Only then did he know who the person in the wooden barrel was.

"Are you the head of the Wang family? What about the fugitive head of the Wang family and his eldest son?" Liu Kun asked, staring at Mr. Wang.

“Your Excellency has asked the right question. The head of the Wang family and his eldest son are nothing... woooo..." Master Wang choked with sobs, but no tears could flow from his blind eyes.

"The master of the Wang family is my cousin, and his father is my uncle. Later, because of the Taiping bandits, my grandfather handed the Wang family over to my father." The master Wang in the wooden box was talking about something shocking. The audience present were all shocked.

"My uncle was kicked out of the house and went far away. I thought the matter was over until one day I received a letter from my uncle. The letter said that he had been having a hard time recently and hoped that I could go there and help him."

"I thought the letter was fake, but it contained a token of the Wang family. So I followed the address on the letter and went there. But who would have known... who would have known that my uncle had colluded with the evil spirit and chopped off my hands and feet and turned them into human pigs. He also disguised himself as me, possessed my wife and children, and became the head of the Wang family. And his dead son also possessed my eldest son's body. Our Wang family was harmed by these two people!"

Mr. Wang revealed a shocking secret about the Wang family's past. Even the knowledgeable Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel angry towards the other father and son in the Wang family.

He chopped off a person's hands and feet and turned him into a human pig, and took possession of that person's wife, sons and daughters. He also inherited the family business and resurrected his own child who had been dead for many years.

Even an executioner is worse than this kind of behavior of eating up a whole family.

"Sir, I am innocent! I am the head of the Wang family, Wang Zhaoquan!" Master Wang cried out in injustice, and everyone realized that what happened that day was not the Wang family's original intention.

"So that's the reason." Liu Kun sighed. "This is so ridiculous, so heartless!"

　There are three updates today, so I have to update once.
