Chapter 66: Unconventional Magic
Burn things that are contaminated with evil spirits into ashes, mix them with extremely pure yang blood, and then spray them on yellow paper. To cast a curse, the blood on the paper will disappear and float towards the direction where the evil spirits are.
Until the place where the evil spirits hide, the blood stains will reappear and turn into a weapon to kill evil spirits, turning a thin piece of yellow paper into a magical weapon that can slay demons.
It is actually an authentic spell from the side door.
However, some swindlers saw this method, but did not know the secret, so they went to people's homes and talked nonsense, pretending to be ghosts.
Use a sword dipped in lye water to pierce the yellow paper with a picture of an evil ghost painted on it with turmeric juice. Red evil ghosts will appear on the paper, like blood. It is said that the evil ghosts have been killed, and this is used to cheat and make money.
There is also a technique called "Iron Ox Water Method", which is also an unconventional technique.
A self-defense method similar to the iron vest.
It is divided into two types: alchemy and spell.
The elixir method is to refine a kind of iron ox water. After drinking it, while the elixir method takes effect, your skin will be as hard as an iron ox and you will not be afraid of swords or guns.
The spell only requires chanting the spell to make you invulnerable to swords and guns and insensible to pain.
The rewards of the Ghost and God Atlas cover everything from Taoism, Buddhism, unorthodox sects, and all kinds of religions.
Jiang Zhou was very satisfied with these rewards.
Except for the "ghostly fish bone" which cannot be used for the time being, the others are all of great use to him.
Especially the two unconventional magic skills, they are definitely good things.
He was able to kill twelve demons in just a few days, half of which he found by relying on the magical spell of "Seeing a demon, killing its blood".
It’s a pity that although the Demon-Slaying Blood Curse is useful, it has limitations.
There are also several cases that have yet to be solved no matter what.
Seven days have passed and Jiang Zhou can only report truthfully.
It seemed that You Xu was busy with the human tissue case and had not been seen for several days.
Jiang Zhou came to the recorder's office and handed in the case closing documents. After reading them, the recorder's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.
In fact, he was not expected to solve the cases that he was originally responsible for, let alone solve them.
But the superiors said that this kid had too little time, so they wanted to assign him more work, but it couldn't be too dangerous.
These cases were selected by this clerk with great effort.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou solved thirteen cases and killed thirteen demons in just seven days.
Jiang Zhou was puzzled: "Old Qian, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The clerk was named Qian Taishao. He was not a military man but a civil servant.
Although he was only a ninth-rank official, his status was much more noble than those of the demon patrol guards.
Even the captains like Youxu had to show some respect when they saw him.
Jiang Zhou has been here quite frequently these days and has become quite familiar with him.
"Oh, nothing."
Old Qian came back to his senses and wiped his sweat secretly.
Not only are the documents related to these cases still there, but the demons that were slain and all the relevant evidence involved in the cases are all available, so they cannot be false at all.
This kid, is he pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
No wonder Li Xuance would take care of him personally.
Old Qian calmed down and looked back to normal.
He took out a notebook, made a few marks on it with a red pen, and took out a few silver ingots from under the counter behind him.
"Here, this is your reward."
The demon patrol guards will also receive performance rewards for killing demons.
He killed thirteen demons in seven days, which probably made him the top performer in a short period of time, so the reward money was naturally not small.
However, for him who once had hundreds of gold, he really didn't look down on these few silver ingots.
Even though he had spent almost all of the hundred gold coins that Chen Santong had given him when he was refining the command seal last time, he was still a pauper now.
"Thank you. This is the Jinbo wine from Yanbo Tower. I give it to you as a gift."
Jiang Zhou took out a palm-sized wine jug from his arms.
Old Qian's eyes lit up, his hands turned into afterimages, and he held the wine jug in his arms.
"Hiss~! Ha! Good wine!"
Old Qian impatiently raised his head and took a gulp, then exhaled a long breath of alcohol.
Her face was full of intoxication: "The wind blows into the golden waves and cannot be stopped, the frost and snow shine brightly to compete with the white. The beauty dances for me, how many times can I get drunk until spring comes?"
"I don't know what's so good about you? Chen Santong treats you so well. The Jinbo wine in Yanbo Tower is hard to come by even for the nobles. Only you can get it at will. I am really benefiting from you."
As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and said, "But you send me wine every day, are you up to something bad?"
"I'm telling you, although I drank the wine, if you want to bribe me to do something bad , don't blame me for not admitting it."
"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"
Jiang Zhou smiled and leaned over, leaning on the table: "Old Qian, if you have any good jobs here in the future, keep them for me. How about I take care of your wine in the future? Well, one pot every three days, how about that?"
The official in the Records Office is not high-ranking, but he is crucial.
Lao Qian is in charge of all task allocation and record keeping in the company.
It can be said that as long as he tilts his pen, it is not difficult to assign you a fatal task.
The file library usually contains existing cases, which are either suspicious cases or important cases.
It is difficult to find a demon suitable for him to kill.
If Old Qian was willing to help, he would have much less trouble.
Old Qian's ears pricked up: "You'll take care of it from now on? One pot every three days?"
"One pot every three days!"
"All of them Jinbo wine?"
"must be!"
Old Qian was tempted, but still hesitated, "I can't let you choose all of them. If I let you choose all of Ansheng's jobs, the remaining ones will be dangerous and difficult. Isn't that unfair to others?"
Jiang Zhou shook his head and said, "No need. As long as it's a demon below the eighth level, I won't be picky. I only have one request. As long as the case is clear and the target is clear, it would be best if I could just come and kill it."
"How is it? This shouldn't be difficult, right? I don't think there are many demon patrol guards in the department who can deal with ninth-grade demons."
"This is easy. If this is true, then others have taken advantage. Are you stupid?"
Lao Qian looked at him with suspicion.
Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Just think of it as me helping others."
Old Qian curled his lips and said, "You are asking for trouble. I have no reason not to agree. However, you must have wine!"
"That's natural."
After getting Lao Qian's reply , Jiang Zhou left the recording office satisfied.
“Young man…”
Old Qian looked at his departing figure and shook his head.
He held the wine jug and started to sip, and after a few sips he became drunk.
Jiang Zhou had already left Sujingsi at this time.
Yan Xiaowu asked him to meet at Yanbo Tower, saying that the human skin had arrived.
Yanbo Tower.
Jiang Zhou whispered, "Where is what I want?"
Yan Xiaowu sneered: "You may not have brought what I want."
"What do you mean? You come up here to bask in the sun... Ugh!"
Are you playing Infernal Affairs here?
I was almost led astray by this kid, and my tongue is now sticking out.
Jiang Zhou took out a booklet from his pocket: "Hey, what do you want? What do I want?"
Yan Xiaowu looked around furtively, then carefully took out a bundle and stuffed it under the table: "Hurry up! This thing can't be seen in public!"
