Chapter 88: Incense and Money for the Dead
When Jiang Zhou woke up in shock, the few years of magic power left in his body began to flow.
Blood and energy rushed, and pure yang energy emanated from the body.
God's will becomes clear.
The anger on his face and the eagerness to see the gold and silver also disappeared.
Just as I was frightened, I suddenly felt something in my arms beating slightly.
Jiuquan Command Talisman!
Jiang Zhou immediately took out the seal that he had been hiding in his arms.
I saw that this seal, which had been useless except for stamping talismans, was emitting a dim light.
Before he could think of anything, it suddenly jumped up from the palm of his hand and hung in the air.
An invisible majesty suddenly filled the stone chamber.
The piles of gold and silver suddenly twisted and began to melt into juice, flowing on the ground.
The gold and silver liquids slowly rose from the ground, twisted, and transformed into golden and silver men.
Prostrating on the ground, as if in worship.
The Jiuquan command talisman in the air suddenly shook.
The brilliant golden light of the golden and silver figures quickly dimmed in this majesty.
It shattered in an instant and turned into pieces of blue-gray paper money, floating in the stone chamber, accompanied by a cloud of blue flying ash.
[Kill ten incense, dark, gold and Yin spirits, and reward ten blessings and virtues]
Incense, dark gold, and ghosts? The energy of fortune?
A hint of surprise flashed through Jiang Zhou's mind.
The Jiuquan command talisman flashed and flew back into his hand.
At this moment, You Xu and others were suddenly startled.
Jiang Zhou didn't have time to think about it and put the seal back into his arms.
There was a hint of confusion in You Xu's eyes, and then his expression changed.
He didn't ask Jiang Zhou how he did it. He looked at the flying ashes and paper money filling the room with a gloomy face.
"Come here, collect all the paper money, not a single piece can be left behind. Also, don't leave any of this incense ashes behind!"
Jiang Zhou was a little surprised when he heard this.
This reaction is a bit too big. There is probably some hidden story behind it.
You Xu saw his expression. Although his expression was still gloomy, he patiently explained, "These are incense and ghost money. They are the gathering of wishes and thoughts in the Yang world to worship the gods. They are manifested in the nether world and are only circulated in the nether world."
"There was a case in the department before, where someone in the South City market bartered gold and silver and turned them into ghost money. That is incense and ghost money. Because it contains incense from the Yang world, it has various magical properties and can also turn into gold and silver, which is difficult to distinguish normally."
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Only the gods in the underworld can possess this incense and money?"
Jin Jiu explained, "Not necessarily. Although these incense and money can only be manifested by gods with status, they circulate in the underworld, so naturally it is impossible that only the gods in the underworld have them."
"However, such a large amount of incense and paper money can only be produced by the gods of the underworld, except for a few ghost kings in the underworld."
"The likes of the Ghost King are comparable to the upper third rank. They will not easily appear in the world of the living. If they do, it will definitely be a catastrophe."
"As for the spirits in the underworld, they have all received the golden command from the emperor of mankind and obtained the position of a god. Only then can they be called spirits and govern a part of the underworld."
Jiang Zhou understood now.
The appearance of these incense and paper money here is not a good thing, no matter whether it is related to the King of Ghosts or the gods in the underworld.
The former is fine. Although the Ghost King must be very powerful, Jiang Zhou believes that Su Jingsi must have a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, why would these ghost kings be willing to stay in hiding and not come out to harm people?
If it is the latter, then the matter is even more serious.
Since the gods in the underworld have received the golden edict from the Human Emperor, they can be considered officials of Daji.
What does it mean that officials from Daji are involved in such a case?
Jiang Zhou didn't know, but he could think of many possibilities.
The worst possibility is that the gods in the underworld are colluding with certain people in the world of the living and are planning something.
"All right, these children have been trapped here for a long time, and many of them are injured. We should not delay any longer. Send someone to escort them back to the city immediately, have someone take care of them, and report to the governor's office."
You Xu said, and then turned to Jiang Zhou and said, "Patrol Guard Jiang, you have made great contributions in this case. I will commend you for your merits later. After you return, you don't have to worry about this case anymore."
He said with a serious tone: "I know you care about this case very much, but believe me, this time, I am definitely thinking about you."
He didn't seem to want to say more about it. As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the demon patrol guards to make arrangements.
Placing these children and subsequently finding their families are extremely tedious tasks.
After returning to the Sujing Division, You Xu really did not let Jiang Zhou take care of the follow-up matters, and even stopped letting other people ask about it, and just said that the case was closed here.
He directly charged Dou Anhe with the crimes of kidnapping and selling young children and offering sacrifices to an evil temple. After reporting to his superiors, he would go to the prefectural government in person to arrest Dou Anhe and bring him to justice. He would then execute him, and the case would be closed.
With all these incense and paper money around, a civilian official would not only fail to stop the Sujing Division from arresting people, but he would probably also be implicated.
As for how many people will be implicated and sent to jail, it depends on whether Su Jingsi wants to make a big deal out of this.
Jiang Zhou came out of Baijie Hall, his heart still filled with confusion.
He knew that this case was not that simple.
The origins of the Yin Dao devils have not been figured out yet, and the strange little golden Buddha was taken back by You Xu, and there was no further news about it.
The beautiful woman that Liu Shusheng met at the beginning and the cave where he woke up seemed to have never been mentioned.
Jin Jiu once said that he and You Xu had tracked down the Pylons Valley because the extraordinary man from Wanxiang Hall had figured it out using the art of writing.
His blood curse of slaying demons also tracked there.
But the Refining Ghost took him to Xiaoxi Village.
The Refined Ghost has become his refined corpse, so it is impossible for it to deceive him.
The possibility of this situation happening is that the Yin Dao devil was actually in the Pyloric Valley.
But for some unknown reason, he arrived at the Dou Mansion in Xiaoxi Village.
If this is the case, and assuming that the children who were kidnapped are also related to Pylori Valley and the Yin Dao devils, then it is not something that Dou Anhe could have done, and they may have been deliberately transferred to the Dou Mansion...
So, what role does Dou Anhe play in this?
Unfortunately, You Xu had already determined the nature of the case and would not let him intervene, so no matter how many ideas he had, he was powerless.
This trip to Xiaoxi Village was not only about this case, but also about the Sujingsi, which he thought he was familiar with in the past. Now it seemed that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Even so, You Xu is so secretive about the case. One can imagine how big the involvement is, and it is definitely not something he can touch.
To take a step back, even if he wanted to investigate privately, he would have no clue.
In fact, there is only one possible clue left.
She was the strange little girl who was taken away by her parents in Xiaoxi Village.
Jiang Zhou hesitated for a long time. After a night, he went to Xiaoxi Village again the next day.
But not long after, he returned to the Sujing Division, and the doubts in his mind increased.
He did see the little girl.
But overnight, the little girl seemed like a different person.
When I saw her yesterday, I looked at her from afar without saying a word. Although her face was childish, there was a deep quietness, and her eyes seemed to be hesitant to say something.
When I saw her today, she was a carefree, innocent and smiling little girl.
She looked completely confused in response to his questions, which was definitely not something she could fake.
In short, this case is full of strangeness and doubts.
