Chapter 583 (five hundred and eighty-three) double layer
Ao Gong broke out in a cold sweat and said to Tie Hongyan: "Dear guest, I'm sorry, my skills are limited and I made a mistake in my judgment just now. Now I realize that the question you just asked will not do you any harm, and I also I can answer your question.”
Tie Hongyan said: "It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Sometimes I make mistakes in my spear dance. Since you can answer, then say it!"
"Can I make a request? After I finish speaking, can your distinguished guest not tell anyone about it?" Ao Gong asked.
"Why not external stories?" You Xiangming asked.
"Because... because I did something behind other people's backs... If word spreads, I will be in even greater trouble." Ao Gong said, "As long as it doesn't spread while I'm alive, if one day I die, you guys You can spread it wherever you want.”
You Xiangming joked: "Haha, when you say this, aren't you worried that we will kill you for the sake of the rumor?"
This joke frightened Ao Gong again, and he said: "These distinguished guests are so proud!"
Tie Hongyan said: "In this case, I promise you that I will not tell anyone about it while you are alive."
"Then... where are their distinguished guests?" Ao Gong said.
Tie Hongyan looked at several of his subordinates, who all said that they would not spread the news while Ao Gong was still alive. Ao Gong said: "Every time I ask Zuo Youqun to write what's on his mind before doing the exercises, the paper he uses is special double-layer paper, which looks similar to ordinary single-layer paper. I will help him before he writes. After he finished writing, I put the double-layer paper into the huge blessing box, closed the lid and chanted the incantation for him, and then took it out from the box. When he wrote on paper, he would secretly peel off the two layers of paper in the box, take out only one layer of paper and quickly throw it into the divine fire basin in front of the magic table, while the other layer of paper would be left in the divine blessing box. With the speed at which I threw the paper into the divine fire pot, he probably didn’t think I could know what he had written. In fact, I waited until he left to open the divine blessing box and read what he had written. Just as Ao Gong said, Zuo Youqun didn't know that Ao Gong had read what he wrote on the paper. Zuo Youqun also didn't know that Ao Gong peeled off the double layer of paper in the divine blessing box. Every time Ao Gong took the double-layer paper from the divine blessing box, he would ask Zuo Youqun to stay away from the divine blessing box, saying that if he was too close to the divine blessing box, the method might not work.
Tie Hongyan asked: "Besides Zuo Youqun, have you ever used this method to see what others are thinking when you perform rituals on others?"
Ao Gong didn't want them to spread the word, precisely because he had used this method on many people, and even used the opportunity to threaten them and ask for money after knowing what they cared about. Naturally, he didn't want them to know that he was making money through this, but out of fear, he had to admit that he had used this method to peek into other people's minds. He replied: "Used."
Tie Hongyan said: "You must keep all those papers, right?"
Ao Gong hesitated for a moment, not daring not to tell the truth: "Yes, I'll keep it."
Tie Hongyan said: "You said Zuo Youqun was raised by her sister Zuo Youtang. I want to see the evidence with my own eyes."
"Okay, okay." After Ao Gong agreed, he took Tie Hongyan and his men to the place where he usually worked for Zuo Youqun.
After Ao Gong asked them to sit down, he took a key to unlock the cabinet.
