Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 40 Debunking
I saw a few people beating and beating again, and then the mage stood in front of the incense table with a mahogany sword, and three sticks of incense were burning in the incense burner. Holding the sword formula in his hand, he pointed to the north.

A lengthy incantation came out of his mouth. During the recitation, he hung a piece of white cloth on the side of the incense table, pulled it apart and straightened it. The surrounding villagers raised their hearts and tensed up, and they all stared at the white cloth tightly.

The sorcerer took out a yellow spell and pointed it with the sword, and the spell burned by itself.

"Ah..." Everyone looked in awe when they saw this.

"Nie Zhan, why don't you show up quickly?" At this moment, the mage shouted loudly, picked up a porcelain bowl full of water from the incense table, and threw it at the white cloth, then held a torch to illuminate the white cloth.

"Ghost..." A woman in the crowd yelled and fainted immediately.

"Ah, I really showed up, I really showed up..." The fearful and fearful voices from the crowd resounded violently...

Under the light of the fire, a huddled black shadow appeared on the white cloth. The black shadow opened its teeth and danced its claws, its blue-faced fangs gradually faded from the initial clarity, and finally disappeared.

The villagers were all staring at the white cloth at this time, so everyone saw the black figure, and suddenly screamed in fear: "It's really at her house, it's really at her house..."

"Go where you are supposed to go, those who harm you will definitely be punished..." The mage was still practicing, but these two words were spoken so loudly that everyone present could hear them.

"Miss Su, what do you say now? Do you still want to deny it?" Before the village chief could speak, Osmanthus fragrans couldn't help but yelled first.

"Yeah, I didn't expect her to be so vicious as a woman. Then Li Er must have been poisoned to death by the crops she planted." Another voice came out.

"Oh, it's not good, we have all touched those sweet potato sprouts these days, will it be the same as Li Er..."

The crowd quickly boiled over, condemning Tian Liusu one after another, and the villagers all suppressed Tian Liusu overwhelmingly because they were afraid of being aroused.

Tian Liusu stood with Mrs. Song and the others, her mind was spinning quickly, thinking about the reason for the black shadow, she did not believe in the wronged soul, if there was a wronged soul, it would definitely not appear in her house, it was obviously a fake Yes, but she couldn't see the way out for a moment.

"Village chief, drive her out of Tianshui Village, we can't tolerate such a vile and cruel woman here." Guihua's man said angrily.

"Li Er was killed by her, she should be reported to the police and arrested."

At this time, the villagers were convinced that it was Tian Liusu who killed Li Er, and Li Er's grievance persisted, and he came out to make trouble and hurt the chickens and sheep in the village. Get out of Sweetwater Village.

Tian Liusu couldn't argue at this time, the voices of the villagers were high-pitched, even if she made an excuse, no one would listen, she thought in her heart whether to capture the mage first, and then force a confession, let him tell how he lied, but she was afraid of being shocked. There will be public outrage, Xueling and her two children will still be there, and she will not be able to protect them if there is a conflict.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." The mage has already collected the magic tools and other things after the practice, and said that he will have to do the practice in the village for three more days before he can save the wronged soul. The village chief stood in front of the villagers and raised his hands to signal keep them quiet.

The crowd gradually quieted down.

"Everyone has seen Li Er's wronged soul with his own eyes. He is indeed at Mrs. Su's house. The crops Mrs. Su planted did poison Li Er to death. Therefore, I follow everyone's wishes and drive Mrs. Su's family out of Tianshui Village. Order them to leave immediately tomorrow."

As soon as the words came out, the villagers responded one after another, and some villagers said that they would go to the fields to eradicate all the sweet potato seedlings tomorrow, so as not to let the things continue to poison others.

"Can such deceptive tricks be done? Village Chief, the shadow on the white cloth is just a trick, and I can do it too."

A voice as clear and soft as water resounded among the excited crowd, pouring into everyone's hearts like a spring of sweetness, gradually calming down their frenzied hearts. Tian Liusu stood calmly by the side and spoke slowly.

"What? A trick?"

Sister-in-law Song has been standing firmly by Tian Liusu's side, and she is secretly anxious. In fact, she was also very scared when she saw the black shadow just now, but she had promised in the afternoon that she would stand by Tian Liusu's side no matter what. Never breaking her word, she was waiting for Tian Liusu to come up with a way to solve it, and when she saw her say this, she immediately agreed with her.

"Yes, did you prepare this white cloth yourself? The white cloth has been specially treated, and the black shadow on the cloth is because he splashed the bowl of water."

"Ignorant woman, what do you know? Don't be careless here, you will be struck by lightning if you blaspheme the gods."

The sorcerer saw Tian Liusu revealing the flaws in his spell, panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

After Tian Liusu finished speaking, she kept staring at him, and naturally caught his expression. She was relieved, knowing that she had made the right bet.

In her previous life, she had seen all kinds of charlatans and scammers specializing in deception in backward mountain villages. Most of them used this kind of blindfold method. To put it bluntly, they took advantage of people's awe and fear to sneak in. Get away with it.

"Hmph, the cloth has been specially treated with an interlayer, and your special pills have been added to the water, so that when the water is splashed on the cloth, the black shadow on the cloth will be displayed, and then slowly disappear, my aunt jumped You were still in your mother's womb when the Great God played this trick, how dare you show off such a level of tricks?"

Tian Liusu's eyes were clear and pure, staring at the surrounding villagers, she didn't show any signs of guilt or fear at this time, instead, she looked confident, which made the villagers a little suspicious.

In her previous life, she saw a similar example of deception on TV. After the cloth was specially treated, special chemical substances were added to the water. After splashing on the cloth, it would form a chemical reaction with the things on the cloth.

Naturally, the ancients didn't know what chemical reaction was, but they mastered this technique and used this trick to deceive people.

"Miss Su, are you sure this is a lie?" A villager was still terrified and asked her in a vibrato.

"Yes, yes, are you sure? Are you sure?" The villagers were so terrified and unbelievably hopeful that it was a hoax, they asked her over and over again.

"Everyone, don't believe her. How can this mage who has done rituals for the royal family in the capital be so deceitful? She is just talking nonsense to avoid punishment. She is really a cunning woman."

The mage turned his head and looked at the villagers. After he said this, the villagers fell to his side again.
