Chapter 59: The Authentic Dao Sect
“Hurry up!”
Jiang Zhou was just thinking about it when he heard a flurry of footsteps and shouts.
You Xu has already arrived with his men.
"How ridiculous! How dare you use evil magic to confuse this captain, I will definitely kill this demon... "
You Xu's chattering voice suddenly stopped.
He brought a team of demon-patrol guards to the small building and was stunned by the scene before him.
"This is……"
You Xu glanced at the messy scene and saw Jiang Zhou still standing there intact, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
When he saw the ghost with its head and body separated on the ground, another strange color flashed across his eyes.
When he saw Shenxiu standing beside him like a jade tree, he was shocked all over.
"Master Shenxiu!"
You Xu, who always acted dignified in front of his subordinates, seemed to have shortened his posture by a head in an instant.
A bright smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out that Master Shenxiu is here. No wonder this demon has no choice but to surrender!"
Shenxiu clasped his hands together and bowed, explaining, "Amitabha, this demon was not killed by me, but by this little donor."
"oh?"
You Xu looked at Jiang Zhou, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
Jiang Zhou said: "It was Master Shenxiu who attacked and injured him. I just took advantage of it."
You Xu suddenly realized: "So that's it."
"No matter what, although it was Master Shenxiu who helped us this time, Jiang Zhou also made contributions in killing the demons. This captain will definitely recommend you for the credit."
After saying this, he turned around and smiled again: "Master Shenxiu, thanks to your help, I am afraid it would be difficult to solve this matter."
Jiang Zhou looked at You Xu, a person with two faces, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
However, he has already grabbed the head and obtained the substantial benefits, so there is no need to worry about anything else.
What secrets are hidden behind this small ring and who Chen Qingyue is, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
Sometimes being too curious doesn't do any good.
The next thing is some follow-up work.
Jiang Zhou briefly recounted the entire experience, and that was all he had to do.
Monk Shenxiu was always beside him, looking at him with a strange look.
When he was free, he seemed to want to come over to find him, but was stopped by the enthusiastic You Xu.
Jiang Zhou simply found an excuse and slipped out of Chen's house.
He had just learned someone's secret transmission method, and he had a rosary in his arms. Was he going to leave but wait for others to come and take it back?
With the death of the Painted Skin Ghost, the major case of the murder of Jin Cao Yuan Shi Gongzi was finally solved, and many cases that had been pending for a long time could be closed.
It can be said that it is a good thing for everyone.
Jiang Zhou returned to Su Jingsi's residence and began to study the reward he had just received.
[Kill the Painted Skin Ghost, and reward the Ghost with a Talisman Painting Skill]
【Ghost Painting Talisman (V): The text of the Dragon Chapter and Phoenix Scroll, the characters of the Spiritual Trace Talisman Book. ——Condensed the wonderful Qi of the Three Elements, Five Virtues and Eight Meetings, the chapter of the Cloud Talisman Great Dao, and the appearance of all Taoist scriptures. The three elements of the sun, moon and stars, the five virtues of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, all come from yin and yang, gather into the Eight Meetings of Cloud Qi, and form a flying book, named Cloud Seal Heavenly Book. The book is divided into yin and yang, the Yang Qi Gold Talisman, also known as the "Heavenly Book of Divine Talisman", and the Yin Qi Dark Talisman, also known as the "Ghost Painting Talisman". 】
It turned out to be a method of drawing talismans.
This name may seem strange and evil, but it is actually the most authentic Taoist talisman.
However, what is even more bizarre is not the name, but the way the talisman is drawn.
Normal talismans are made with cinnabar as ink and written on yellow paper.
This ghostly talisman was drawn with human blood as ink and human skin as paper.
Jiang Zhou has a headache.
I don't know if it's because this is the reward for killing the Painted Skin Ghost, it's very weird.
Human blood is easy to deal with, he can just use his own.
But where can he find human skin?
You can't peel your own skin, right?
Last time, he was given a piece of dragon grass and was asked to dig out his own heart and liver.
This time he came up with another weird talisman. Did he have to bleed himself and peel off his own skin?
Killing pigs?
Jiang Zhou complained a few words in his heart, and then took advantage of the rare free time after a major case was closed to "browse" the talisman he had just obtained in the room.
The content of the talisman was not much, but by the time Jiang Zhou had gone through it, a whole night had passed without him noticing.
The official name of ghost painting talismans should be Yinqi Minglu.
It is the Yin Fu in the authentic Taoist "Yun Zhuan Heavenly Book".
It collects the cloud qi transformed from the three origins and five virtues between heaven and earth, and carves them into Taoist sacred texts, turning the invisible Tao into a visible form, so it is called Cloud Seal Heavenly Book.
The Three Yuan and Five Virtues originally come from Yin and Yang, and this talisman is also divided into Yin and Yang.
If the talisman is drawn with Yang Qi, it becomes a Yang Qi Gold Talisman; if the talisman is drawn with Yin Qi, it becomes a Yin Qi Dark Talisman.
That is the ghost painting he obtained.
It is the most authentic Taoist talisman technique.
However, after Jiang Zhou "browsed" through the few talismans he obtained, he felt that they seemed weird no matter how he looked at them. This authentic school was not at all the fairy-like one he had imagined.
What he got was only a small part of the "ghostly talismans", only three talismans in total.
One of them is the "Corpse Worm Curse".
People have three souls and seven spirits, each of which controls the mind and body. There are also three corpse gods, which control the evil desires and the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance.
The Corpse Worm Curse is a talisman that controls the three corpses of a person.
Talismans can be divided into yin and yang.
The Yang Talisman works on oneself, helping people overcome the three poisons of evil desires and kill the three corpses.
The Yin Fu is used to influence others, to curse people with the three corpses, to terrorize people and to kill them.
If we talk seriously, Yang Fu is the road to heaven.
Unfortunately, he did not get the Yang Talisman, but only the Yin Talisman that can scare people and kill people.
The second is the "corpse-driving talisman".
This is simple. It is used to control the corpses of the dead.
The third is the "Yin Lei Fu".
The gathered blood, evil and yin energy turns into thunder, a curse of killing.
These three talismans, no matter their names, effects, or the process of making them, are all eerie and sinister.
But Jiang Zhou just wanted to complain.
These are all genuine Taoist teachings, unlike those evil and unorthodox ones that have all kinds of drawbacks and hidden dangers.
Except for the corpse-driving talisman which seemed to be of no use to him, the other two were good talismans.
Especially the Yin Lei Fu, which is the killing method he most needs at the moment.
If he succeeds, he will have an additional powerful method of slaying demons.
The Ghost and God Atlas allowed him to learn the ghost talismans directly without having to spend extra time to comprehend and study them.
The problem is that even if he knows all the skills, it is not that easy to draw the talisman.
First of all, you need to prepare a lot of things.
The process of drawing a talisman can be divided into seven steps and twenty-eight words:
Knock your teeth to focus your mind, imagine the underworld , take in the outer Qi, call upon the inner Yin spirit, recite the mantra, make a seal with your hands, and perform the seal and knock the command.
The rest are some secrets of the methods, which Jiang Zhou has already obtained from the atlas.
But the "issuing seals and knocking orders" is a bit troublesome.
The so-called "sealing and knocking on the order" means that after the talisman is drawn, it must be stamped with the imperial seal before the talisman can truly take effect.
He needs to refine this seal himself, the Ghost and God Atlas only gives him the method of refining.
Jiang Zhou did not delay and went straight to the Sword Prison Grotto at the foot of the mountain.
There are not many requirements for the material of the seal; gold, jade, iron, stone, and wood can all be used.
The only requirement is that the object is contaminated by blood, evil and negative energy all year round.
This is not easy for ordinary people to do.
But being in the Sujing Division, this couldn't be easier.
You can just pick up a stone in the Sword Prison Square and use it.
He is now in a different momentum than before.
Along the way, everyone he met greeted him enthusiastically, and many of the Demon Patrol Guards were even almost flattering in their enthusiasm.
When he arrived at the cave and saw the knife wielder who used to be close to him, he lost his enthusiasm and was instead treated with awe and distance.
The enthusiasm of the Demon Patrol Guards did not make him dizzy.
Instead, it was the distant and respectful attitude of the man holding the knife that made Jiang Zhou sigh inwardly.
But that's all.
Jiang Zhou was very sober.
Whether it was flattery or awe, it was not because of him, but because of Li Dongyang.
He picked up a few fist-sized dark red stones from under the dark red evil-suppressing stone that was studded with demon-slaying swords, and left.
No one in the Sujing Division would be willing to come to this place unless it was necessary.
Even if someone saw him, they would not stop him.
Blood evil is deadly to ordinary people.
But for those who practice cultivation, it is just a kind of material.
These stones that are soaked in blood evil cannot be taken away if too many are taken away, and too few will not cause much impact.
There are demon patrol guards in the department who often secretly take some out and sell them to those who practice cultivation to use in making pills and refining equipment, in order to seek personal gain.
The people above turned a blind eye.
So Jiang Zhou was not afraid of being seen.
If someone asks me, the worst that can happen is that I say I want to practice my master's techniques.
He has the "Haotian Mirror", a treasure of his master, which allows him to communicate with his master at any time.
He will definitely continue to receive rewards from the Ghost and God Atlas in the future, and this is his best cover.
As long as his boasting is not exposed, Li Xuance doesn't care. Jiang Zhou doesn't need to be so cautious now.
No one would embarrass him over such a trivial matter.
After taking the Blood Evil Stone, Jiang Zhou left the Sujing Division...
