Chapter 89: Golden Sword, Blessings
A few days have passed since the Xiaoxizhuang case.
At this point, You Xu has closed the case and all the clues have been lost. Jiang Zhou has no idea where to start the investigation.
Since he couldn't find the source, he could only let it go for the time being and improve his own strength.
Although the truth was not uncovered in Xiaoxi Village and it became even more confusing, we still gained a lot.
First is the catalog of the Yin Dao demons and the Yin spirits of incense and dark gold.
He had already read the origins of the two in the atlas and hoped to get some clues from it, but to no avail.
The Yin Dao devil was "born" from a pregnant corpse, but he is not a living creature.
Perhaps it was a ghost from birth and it has very few experiences. The album only shows a few pictures of it sharpening the "Yin Knife" in front of several families' doors, and then ambushing and killing Liu Shusheng, but was injured by the Haoran handwriting in his arms and ran away.
The next time he appeared on the screen, he was in a cave. He had changed from a two or three-year-old to a one-year-old, probably because of an injury.
Lying in a turbid pool of water, as if healing.
The scene changed again, and he was inside the bronze Buddha, holding the little golden Buddha. Finally, the bronze Buddha broke open and was struck to death by his lightning.
As for the Yin spirits in the incense and paper, it is even simpler. They are in an incense burner in front of a statue of the City God, which has been bearing incense for many years. They are worshipped by people and gradually condense into Yin spirits, which are attached to the incense and paper.
But before it was struck apart by his Yin Thunder, there was another picture.
It was in front of Xiaoxi Village. In addition to the ten dark gold ghosts entering Xiaoxi Village, a team of gold and silver men carried a sedan chair and left.
This is also one of the reasons why he is certain that there is a secret behind this case.
However, he temporarily put all these things aside. What was important was the reward he got.
[Willow Leaf Golden Knife: Nine Qi condenses into evil, exterminates ghosts and eliminates evil, the golden knife shines brightly, cuts off evil and eliminates all traces. ——Can use willow leaves to gather the nine Qi of the stars, transform into a golden knife, exterminate evil and kill ghosts, and be invincible. The spell says: Nine Qi contains smoke, rushes straight to the nine heavens, the White Emperor of the West, Gengxin Zhengfa, the God King Golden Knife, cuts off evil and eliminates all traces. 】
【Aura of Blessings and Virtues: Eliminating evil and cultivating good is the cause, the interaction between heaven and man is the condition, and when the cause and condition come, blessings and virtues are the reward. ——When blessings and virtues are added to the body, everything goes smoothly, the body is clear and the mind is clear, and the inner and outer are extraordinary. 】
Willow Leaf Golden Knife is a Taoist secret method for exterminating evil and protecting the Way. It can turn decay into magic and is extremely powerful, a very strong means of killing.
The other aura of blessings and virtues made him a little confused.
What is this?
…
When Jiang Zhou was full of doubts.
In a gorgeous manor.
"All resolved?"
"Your Majesty, everything will proceed as planned..."
In the gorgeous and elegant courtyard, a person was kneeling on the ground.
"The Sujing Division has already sent Lü Keyan and the merchant surnamed Dou to the Tixing Division for execution and has confiscated the Dou Mansion. The case has been closed and no one else has been implicated."
There was a tall figure in front of him, wearing a gorgeous robe, with his back to him, and he said leisurely: "Who is the person in charge of this case? He is so decisive and sensible, he is a talented person."
"This man's surname is You and his given name is Xu. Although he doesn't have any extraordinary abilities, he is used to changing his attitude according to the situation and avoiding danger. He has always only tried to avoid mistakes rather than achieve success. It is expected that he would do this."
The man kneeling on the ground suddenly hesitated as he spoke: "But..."
"Then perhaps there is another reason why the case was resolved so efficiently this time..."
"Um?"
The tall figure uttered a soft question, and the man on the ground was so frightened that he dropped his forehead to the ground.
He did not dare to hesitate or hide anything: "This time we have concealed the truth and escaped. Although the Pylori Valley has been covered up and the blood evil beads and gold and silver treasures have been transferred, the incense and money have been exposed."
"That merchant surnamed Dou was extremely greedy. After the Golden Buddha Temple in Liujia Village was destroyed by the Sujing Division, he actually adopted a daughter from Xiaoxi Village and married her off. He also brought a golden Buddha statue to his daughter's husband's home."
"The Golden Buddha actually accepted everything that came his way and gave Dou Anhe a lot of incense and money. Now, the money has not been spent yet and has been investigated by the Sujing Division..."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
He pressed his forehead against the ground, as if he wanted to bury his head in the soil, he was very afraid.
"hehe……"
The tall figure let out a soft chuckle.
"People in the world pursue profit. Even a king with a thousand chariots, a marquis with ten thousand families, or a ruler with a hundred houses still suffers from poverty. It is human nature to be greedy for profit and forget about morality. What does it have to do with you? What have you done wrong?"
"Just check it out, don't worry about it."
A drop of cold sweat dripped down the forehead of the person on the ground: "Yes, the golden Buddha needs..."
The tall figure whispered, "It's just a rural evil temple, and you dare to call yourself a Buddha? Such evil spirits will only bring disaster to the people if they stay in the world."
"As a citizen of Daji...ha, haha, cough!"
When the people on the earth heard him mention "the people of Daji", they suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, which gradually turned into a loud laugh, and they laughed so hard that they couldn't stop coughing.
It seems that these words themselves are a huge joke.
He didn't dare to react and just pretended not to hear.
After a while, the tall figure finally stopped laughing, put his hand on his chest, and let go of the breath he had laughed so hard about.
Then he continued with the previous words: "As a citizen of Daji, everyone should be able to kill him, how can we tolerate him? Go to the authorities and say that there is an evil temple that is misleading the people and killing people."
"Isn't the job of the Sujing Division to suppress demons and pacify the people? Let them do it."
The person on the ground responded with a "yes" and then cautiously took his leave.
"People of Daji? Hehehe..."
That man's laughter still echoed in the beautiful manor.
…
In a flash, several days passed.
On this day, Jiang Zhou and Yan Xiaowu were strolling leisurely on the street.
He has been having a very leisurely time these days .
If it weren't for the fact that there was still half a month left before the March deadline mentioned by Xue the Witch, he didn't know what kind of trouble this witch would make, leaving him with a thorn in his throat.
He can now be said to be free from all worries.
He has two major "backers" behind him. You Xu, who was originally the most hated one in the Sujing Division, has become even more friendly to him after the Xiaoxizhuang case.
It is even less likely that others will cause trouble for him.
So his life in the company can be said to be very comfortable now.
I get up early every day to practice my exercises, then go to the grievance-solving room to try cases, and then go to the Sutra Library to read some books.
At night, I would go to the record room to find Lao Qian to have a drink and listen to him brag.
This Lao Qian is most likely a hidden boss. There is no harm in having a good relationship with him.
Moreover, I can hear many strange stories and anecdotes from him, which can broaden my horizons.
Occasionally, a demon would run into his hands, and he would go out to chop down the demons and monsters.
With his current strength, if he is lucky, he can kill several demons below the ninth rank in one day.
In just a few days, his skills and cultivation level soared to twenty years again.
It is said that whether it is the martial arts or the immortal way, one of the criteria for the eighth rank is thirty years of skill or practice.
From this, it seems that within three to five days, his skills and cultivation will be able to catch up with those of an eighth-grade master.
By then, he will be able to kill an eighth-grade demon, and his improvement speed will be even faster.
In half a month, it is very likely that you will be able to reach the seventh grade. If you are extremely lucky, it is not impossible to enter the middle third grade.
In addition to these substantial gains, he also accumulated a considerable amount of true spiritual power.
[Number of True Spirit: Forty-five]
If all forty-five true spirits were used to activate the Taiyi Five Smoke Net, and if he added the seventh-grade or even sixth-grade skills, as well as the White Bone Soul-Killing Needle, Ghost Drawing Talisman and other means, he might not have to be afraid of that demon girl Xue anymore.
Even if it doesn't work, Jiang Zhou has thought about it.
At worst, I can go to Li Xuance and confess my mistake and ask for help.
Today was a day off, so Yan Xiaowu came over and said that he would fulfill his promise and take him to Chuyun Tower for a drink.
To be honest, Jiang Zhou had long been eager to go to a brothel, a place where many demons were rampant, and to see for himself.
For no other reason than to subdue the demons and monsters...
But the problem is that there is a demon girl named Xue there, so he can only follow his own heart and not commit murder in vain.
Today Yan Xiaowu came to him on his own initiative, but Jiang Zhou had new ideas.
This kid is hiding a big secret, so we can use him as a shield.
Even the Chief Constable of Nanzhou can work hard for him. Jiang Zhou doesn't believe that there are many people in Wujun City who can hurt him.
If Xue Yaonu dares to take action, don't blame him for killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Yan Xiaowu had cheated him in Yanbo Tower before, so it was just a tit-for-tat. No one owed anyone anything.
So the two of them hit it off immediately and excitedly went to Chuyun Tower, the legendary number one building in Nanzhou.
Of course, the title of "No. 1 Building" should come from a man.
To Jiang Zhou's disappointment, Yan Xiaowu shouted loudly for the courtesan Xue Li to come out as soon as he entered Chuyun Tower.
Chu Yunlou's mother, however, smiled coquettishly and looked down on them as she told them that Xue Li was not in Wujun, but had gone to Beijing to participate in some beauty contest.
That look clearly told them that Miss Xue was not something that a mere clerk like them could see? Even if she was there, they couldn't see her.
Yan Xiaowu wanted to lose his temper on the spot, but Jiang Zhou pulled him out.
He didn't believe that Xue Yaonu was participating in any courtesan competition. If the old procuress wasn't lying, then she must be using this name to carry out some conspiracy.
I didn't get to drink the wine I was looking forward to, and my plan to use someone to take the blame didn't work out.
The two had no choice but to wander the streets.
As the capital of Nanzhou County, Wu County 's market is still very prosperous and lively.
It is no worse than some big cities in the other world. Although the various commercial goods and things are far more numerous, they are still dazzling , but they have their own charm and are more popular.
"Huh?"
Yan Xiaowu, who was strutting around in front like a big boss, suddenly stopped, as if he saw something.
Without waiting for Jiang Zhou to ask, he suddenly turned around and dragged him away.
