Chapter 296 The Tricky Head Lowering Technique
Chapter 296 The tricky head-lowering technique
"What?! Head-lowering technique?" Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little numb when he heard it at first. The evil technique that he expected to only be found in movies or novels suddenly appeared from Lin Tian's mouth, showing his astonishment.
Like this, surprise is inevitable.
In fact, we can't blame her for being ignorant. The head-lowering technique is a kind of witchcraft spread in Southeast Asia. Lin Tian took the initiative to take up the literacy work and explained the reasons for the head-lowering technique to Xiao Ling'er and Tang Ya by the way.
"According to legend, the voodoo magic from the Miao border areas in Sichuan and Yunnan, China, was spread to Southeast Asia and evolved by combining it with local witchcraft. It can save people from life and death, but it can also harm people through invisible Nanyang witchcraft - lowering the head.
It is also known as the "head-lowering technique" in Thailand and the "gu technique" in western Hunan, which are called the two major evil arts in Southeast Asia."
Lin Tian's expression returned to its previous seriousness, and Xiao Ling'er was stunned by what he was talking about. It was obvious that he was stunned by the truth Lin Tian said.
"Didn't you just call yourself the eleventh generation descendant of the Medicine King Sect? You must have something to do, right?" Xiao Ling'er was not in the mood to listen to Lin Tian's introduction to this evil magic. She was more concerned about how her grandfather's disease could be cured.
good.
Lin Tian's expression darkened, and he sighed and replied, "I'm sorry, I can't save your grandpa now."
"Why... why?" Xiao Ling'er hesitated. She didn't expect Lin Tian, who had always been conceited, to say this. Just when she was about to ask why, Andre left and came back, but this time,
He has extra cleaning tools on hand.
Lin Tian quickly made a silent gesture to signal Xiao Ling'er not to speak for the time being. Fortunately, Andre didn't hear Xiao Ling'er's question just now. He just lowered his head and picked up the broom to deal with the dirt spit out by Mr. Xiao.
At this moment, Lin Tian blinked at Tang Ya and pointed at Andre, who was concentrating on cleaning up the dirt.
Tang Ya glanced at him with the corner of her eyes and nodded in a dignified manner.
Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but see the tacit understanding between the two, and her heart felt indescribable. Seeing that Lin Tian had achieved his goal, he said to Xiao Ling'er: "Ling'er, let's go out and let your grandpa take care of himself."
Rest, and after two days, when his body recovers, we will ask him the specific reason."
While talking, Lin Tian's eyes glanced at Andre from time to time.
Xiao Ling'er cheered up. To be honest, she still didn't want to believe that an old housekeeper who had worked in the Xiao family manor for nearly twenty years would actually harm her grandfather. You must know that Andre had watched her grow up.
But why exactly this is happening, she really can't figure it out with her smart brain.
Seeing Xiao Ling'er thinking randomly, her eyes never leaving Andre's body, Lin Tian was afraid that her secret would be exposed, so he dragged her out. After returning to the room and closing the door, he calmed down with Xiao Ling'er.
Said: "Okay, you can ask now."
"Why didn't you save grandpa?" Xiao Ling'er complained as soon as she opened her mouth, as if it was Lin Tian's fault that Mr. Xiao was hit by the head-dropping technique. She asked in a rapid-fire manner: "And why do you say that grandpa was hit by the head-dropping technique?"
Head technique?"
Lin Tian looked serious, without his usual joking look, and said: "First, Grandpa Xiao has no fatal wounds on his body except his arm. I have also seen the scar on his arm. It is a strange and deep wound. Although the blood is
Dry, but black and bright
It shows the phenomenon of poisoning. Secondly, his face is very strange. It is not as pale as a cold body should be, nor as red and purple as a body heat should be, but as blue as iron. Iron lividity is a symptom of poisoning. Of course, based on this alone, I don’t understand at all.
This is a way to determine whether he has been tricked into lowering his head."
Lin Tian paused and then said: "Mr. Xiao's vomit is dark brown and has a foul smell. Moreover, his pulse is weak and heavy, sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and his constitution is very irritable. These are all moderate symptoms.
Signs of poison.”
"How could this happen? How could such an unscrupulous method be used?" Xiao Ling'er clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth. "If you let me know who killed my grandfather, I will let him die badly. Even if it is
Even if we use the power of Yanjing’s family, we will fight him to the death.”
Lin Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This is what I'm going to say next, and why I just said there was no way to save Grandpa Xiao."
Tang Ya was still leaning quietly in the corner and keeping silent. However, at the moment, her attention was outside the door. There were ears outside the wall. If someone listened to such a confidential conversation between Lin Tian and Xiao Ling'er, then
That would be big trouble.
Xiao Ling'er's expression dimmed, as if she had lost her way: "Isn't it that there is no use at all? We can only watch our grandfather being tortured by the disease and dying?"
"There is no way to save Grandpa Xiao, but it is very troublesome!" Lin Tian said.
His words undoubtedly gave Xiao Ling'er hope. She raised her head and looked at him, urging with an eager look: "Speak quickly!"
"First of all, we need to find out what kind of trick Mr. Xiao got. Secondly, we also need to find out who did it?"
When Xiao Ling'er heard this, she couldn't help but feel discouraged. She knew that figuring out these two points would undoubtedly be more difficult than climbing to the sky. Now, there was no clue at all, and it was impossible to find out who was the one who descended.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Are there many kinds of head-lowering techniques?"
"Yes." Lin Tian nodded. "Spirit drop, Gu drop, mix, sound drop, medicine drop, talisman drop, medicine drop, flying drop..."
Lin Tian is a person who is very dedicated to medicine. In addition, the Yaowang Sect has a variety of medical books for him to study. As for the head-lowering technique, which is a rather unpopular subject, he has only dabbled a little and has no knowledge of the principles.
It was only a brief taste. Without handling any cases before, he really didn't dare to say that he could cure Mr. Xiao.
After all, medicine itself is a rigorous science.
Lin Tian never thought that he would actually experience such a disgusting but nerve-wracking thing in his life.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Ling'er asked. "Grandpa can't afford to waste any time."
"There must be a primer to lower the head. We need to find the primer first. Then we can come up with a countermeasure." Lin Tian pondered for a moment and said. "Right now, treating the patient randomly will not have any effect."
"The head-lowering technique was used on grandpa. Do you plan to search for it on grandpa?" Xiao Ling'er asked eagerly.
Lin Tian shook his head and said: "I have seen that Grandpa Xiao only knows the head-lowering technique, and the introduction to the head-lowering technique is not on his body, but is hidden somewhere. As for how to find it, we need a person."
People come and help us.”
"Who?!" Xiao Ling'er asked.
"Butler Andre."
"What?!" Xiao Ling'er said in surprise: "Why are you so sure? And how did you suspect him?"
"Have you forgotten what his expression was like when I tested him with words just now?" Lin Tian asked.
Xiao Ling'er then recalled Andre. Although he was expressionless on the side, when Lin Tian deliberately loudly said that grandpa was fine, Andre's expression was very strange. But as to why she didn't think much about it at that time, now
After Lin Tian reminded her, she remembered something.
"Ah!" Xiao Ling'er cried out, and quickly said: "Then isn't it dangerous if we leave grandpa alone in the room?"
"Do you think Andre would be stupid enough to confront Grandpa Xiao alone? Doesn't that mean he directly admits that there is something wrong with him?" Lin Tian made a fuss about Xiao Ling'er's surprise.
Xiao Ling'er tapped her forehead with her pink fist, blaming herself secretly. Grandpa's illness made her almost dizzy, and she couldn't even think of the most basic common sense.
"What should we do next?" Xiao Ling'er asked.
Tang Ya also looked away from the outside and looked towards Lin Tian. It was obvious that she wanted to know what she would do next.
"We can only let Andre show up on his own initiative, so we must play hard to get and give him some false news." Lin Tian thought for a while and said.
"You said just now that grandpa is fine, didn't you already..." Xiao Ling'er asked in confusion.
Lin Tian sighed and said: "We can only talk with our mouths. As soon as we go out, Andre will definitely take the initiative to check Mr. Xiao's condition with his carefulness. Therefore, this lie may have been revealed by now."
"It's all your fault!" Xiao Ling'er complained in frustration.
Lin Tian was not confused at all, and continued: "So, we must find someone to pretend to be Mr. Xiao and let him appear in front of Andre. In this way, it will be difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and Andre will naturally jump out.
"
"Pretend? Who are you looking for?" Xiao Ling'er asked.
"Of course I will be responsible for this task, but as for the make-up, Tang Ya will be here!" Lin Tian looked at Tang Ya as he spoke. Obviously, he was very confident in Tang Ya's disguise skills.
The reason why Dragon Fury has become the top existence in China is that there are many outstanding professional talents in the organization, and such talents cannot be found elsewhere. For example, as long as Tang Ya is willing to help, they can disguise themselves.
You can definitely find it.
"Okay, I'll go find it." Tang Ya knew that she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree. Her initiative saved Lin Tian a lot of words, but just when Lin Tian was about to say the second thing, he heard something coming from outside the door.
Knock on the door.
"Who?!" Even with Lin Tian beside her, Xiao Ling'er would still be inexplicably nervous about the sudden knock on the door.
As a result, when the person outside the door spoke, Xiao Ling'er relaxed. Even if Lin Tian couldn't understand his voice, he knew it was Imelda. At this time, Xiao Ling'er changed to English and asked: "What's the matter?"
"York is awake. He hopes to see the lady." Imelda said outside the door.
Xiao Ling'er felt inexplicably excited, nodded and said, "I know, I'll be there later."
After Imelda left, Lin Tian saw the clues in Xiao Ling'er's expression and asked, "York is awake?"
Xiao Ling'er was showing off just now, but she didn't expect Lin Tian to know the answer so quickly. Instead, she was eager to know Lin Tian's attitude. Xiao Ling'er had lived with her grandfather since she was a child and developed the habit of relying on others. At this time, it was very difficult for her to know the answer.
Naturally, he regarded Lin Tian as his backbone.
"Let's go take a look first. I really want to know what happened. This may be helpful in treating Mr. Xiao." Lin Tian pondered for a moment and said.
The two of them said no more and walked out of the room. Tang Ya followed unhurriedly. The strange combination of the three of them caused the servants to start making various speculations. If something big happened at home, everyone would be surprised.
Chapter completed!
