Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Looking at the blood-red, ferocious tiger on the talisman,

Suddenly he exclaimed, "This tiger, could it be the one that the sir killed?"

"What? Could this be the tiger-slaying hero?"

The old woman looked as if she had just realized something.

"No wonder this vicious tiger wanted to conceive the woman; it was seeking revenge against the tiger-slaying hero!"

"If you want revenge, why don't you come to me?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"The tiger-slaying hero may not know this, but you are a malevolent star descended from heaven, your aura of evil so intense that these evil spirits dare not approach you even slightly."

The old woman said in a very serious tone,

"Leaving them with no other choice, they can only seek revenge on heroes and their close associates!"

"If the tiger-slaying hero doesn't believe me, watch as this old woman performs another spell!"

After the old woman finished speaking,

He then recited a few incantations, and then picked up the gourd and drank some of the spiritual water.

Then it sprayed directly next to Zhao Yuan!

Immediately afterwards, she swiftly took the wooden sword from her waist.

Quickly slash at the water mist that was just sprayed out!

"Everyone, just look!"

The old woman raised the wooden sword in her hand.

All that could be seen on the originally brown sword blade,

Suddenly, tiny specks of bright red appeared.

It looked as if blood had been splattered on it!

"These are the evil spirits that haunted the hero, and I have already slain one! This sword bears the blood of that evil spirit!"

"elder sister!"

Chunmei turned pale with fright and clung tightly to Li Shishi's arm.

Li Shishi was also somewhat at a loss.

He hurriedly looked at Zhao Yuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

"This sorceress, what ritual can I perform to exorcise the evil spirit from my wife?"

Zhao Yuan also looked nervous and hurriedly asked with concern.

"This matter is difficult in some ways, but not difficult in others."

The old woman raised her hand and made a seemingly serious calculation.

"My lord, you have too much evil aura. If you want to perform a ritual, you must first keep your wife away from you for a few days. Only after I have used my magic to remove the evil spirit from your wife can you and your wife meet again!"

"Oh? Then where does the nun intend to take my wife?"

“I usually have nothing to do, so I run a tea shop in the market. The second floor there is quiet and deserted, and I also have the protection of the great deity I worship. You can stay there for a couple of days, my lady.”

"That's it,"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said respectfully,

"Then please wait in the main hall for a moment, so we can discuss this."

After the old woman walked out of the yard,

Zhao Yuan called Li Shishi and Chunmei into the room.

But he couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Brother, what's so funny?" Li Shishi asked in surprise.

"My lord, my sister is currently possessed by an evil spirit. If this cannot be resolved, what if... How can you still be smiling, my lord?"

Chunmei stomped her foot in dissatisfaction.

This girl is usually afraid of Zhao Yuan.

Now that they see Li Shishi in trouble, they immediately rush to protect their master.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. How could Dalang not care about me!"

Li Shishi quickly pulled Chunmei back.

In her heart, Zhao Yuan did it all for her.

He dared to assassinate the current emperor, and dared to cross Jingyang Ridge despite the threat of tigers.

How could a man like that not care about her life!

"Shishi, don't worry. That so-called sorceress was just a fraud."

Zhao Yuan said with amusement.

"But how do you explain the tiger shadow on the yellow talisman and the bloodstains on the wooden sword?"

Chunmei did not believe it.

"This is just a trick by a con artist,"

Zhao Yuan explained to the two of them,

"When alkaline water comes into contact with turmeric, it turns blood red. The talisman that the sorceress just took out must have had a fierce tiger drawn on it with turmeric water beforehand. Once it dries, nothing can be seen."

"But if you spray alkaline water on it, the alkaline water will come into contact with the turmeric and naturally make the evil tiger turn red and appear."

"If that's the case," Li Shishi thought for a moment and asked, "was the wooden sword also soaked in turmeric water?"

"Shishi is indeed intelligent; she can already apply what she's learned to other situations!" Zhao Yuan praised.

"Brother, please don't make fun of me,"

Li Shishi said with a face full of shame, "If I hadn't heard Dalang's explanation, I would have been terrified by that sorceress!"

"These are all tricks used to deceive people in the martial arts world. It's normal for you young ladies not to know them," Zhao Yuan comforted her.

"That wretched old woman, how dare she lie to me!"

Chunmei gritted her teeth, furious, and was about to go and settle accounts with the sorceress.

Zhao Yuan stopped her.

Tell her to go and call Lu Zhishen to this room first.

After Chunmei left, Li Shishi asked in a low voice,

"Does Dalang have some plans?"

"Hmm, judging from what that old woman said just now, she clearly wanted to lure you, Shishi, to her teahouse,"

Zhao Yuan pondered and said, "We don't know her. If she's only trying to swindle some money, that's one thing, but I'm afraid there's something else going on with her tea shop!"

Chapter 49 Zhao Dalang Riding in a Sedan Chair (Seeking flowers and ratings)

After Chunmei brings Lu Zhishen here,

Zhao Yuan recounted what had just happened.

The Flower Monk was naturally furious immediately.

He was shouting that he was going to the main hall to teach that sorceress a lesson.

“Brother, there are still some strange things about this matter. Let me investigate it first before we talk about it,” Zhao Yuan advised.

"Brother, just tell me, and I'll do as you say."

Lu Zhishen didn't bother to think too much and agreed immediately.

"I remember that you once pretended to be the bride and slept in the bridal chamber to save the daughter of that old man Liu. Is that true?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"The master has done such a thing?"

Li Shishi and Chunmei exchanged a surprised glance.

"At that time, I had just left Mount Wutai and was heading to Tokyo. As a result, I missed my lodging for the night, so I asked to stay at Old Man Liu's house in Peach Blossom Village."

Lu Zhishen scratched his bald head and recalled,

"I didn't want to run into that bastard Zhou Tong, the Little Tyrant of Peach Blossom Mountain, who insisted on forcibly marrying Liu Taigong's daughter. I couldn't stand it, so I pretended to be the girl and waited in the bridal chamber."

"After that bastard goes into the bridal chamber, let him taste the power of my fist."

"Later, I forced Zhou Tong to break an arrow as a vow that he would never again coerce Liu Taigong's family."

"Afterwards, I was invited by Zhou Tong to stay on their mountain for two days. When I was about to leave, I couldn't stand their stinginess, so I took a lot of their gold and silver with me."

At this point, the Flower Monk asked in bewilderment,

"Brother, why are you bringing this up?"

"In my opinion, eldest son wants to imitate the master, impersonate me and leave with that sorceress, to see what she's really up to?"

Li Shishi asked with a smile, "My lord, am I right?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I think."

Zhao Yuan nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, Chunmei went out to hire a sedan chair.

Zhao Yuan was in Li Shishi's room.

I originally wanted to change into her clothes.

Unexpectedly, the two had a very different body size.

In the end, all they could find was a cotton cloak that belonged to Li Shishi.

Drape it over your body, wrap it up, and then put on the hood.

It was barely enough to cover the man's figure.

Li Shishi watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Zhishen couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"Luckily, brother, you didn't let me go, otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to be dressed like this."

At this moment, Chunmei also returned by sedan chair.

This girl was very clever; she was worried that the sedan chair bearers would see Zhao Yuan's appearance.

After they carried the sedan chair into the courtyard,

The excuse was that Mrs. Zhao was not comfortable meeting with other men.

They sent all the sedan chair bearers outside again.

After Zhao Yuan walked out of the room,

Chunmei saw him wrapped in Li Shishi's cloak.

He looked like he was all wrapped up tightly.

I had to force myself not to laugh out loud.

"My lord, please get into the sedan chair!"

Zhao Yuan got into the sedan chair.

Chunmei then went out and called back the sedan chair bearers and the old woman.
