Chapter Thirty-Three
Jianyouwei Yamen, in a dark room.
A man with a round head and a round face sat on the stool.
He was about thirty years old, with small eyes, thick mouth, black face and fat body. At first glance, he looked a little honest. His little eyes kept looking around and secretly looked at the officials and Taoist priests sitting in front of him.
Xu Shujing looked solemn: "Sun Xiaowen, do you say you have seen a suspicious man appearing outside the Lingxian King Temple, and there is indeed such a thing?"
"Mr. Xu, what I said is true. I, Sun Xiaowen, don't lie, everyone knows."
He put his hands on his knees and held them together somewhat restrainedly.
"I don't know what the name of that person is. He always sways outside the temple, with a tattoo on his arm and a hat... He doesn't look like a good person. He is most likely looking for girls and wants to do something bad."
Sun Xiaowen said righteously: "He stared around everywhere, and I went over and asked him, "What are you looking at? He didn't say anything. I warned him that this is Chengdu Prefecture in Yizhou. If he asked him to pay attention, he would scold me very poorly..."
"I said, why are you doing so loudly? He continued to scold and said that I was deliberately provoking, and I said, "Then you go and find the government."
The man was aroused to scold him. Sun Xiaowen relied on his rich experience in scolding and suppressed him throughout the whole process, and eventually made the suspicious man run away.
"Actually, I am a very elegant and easy-going person. I don't like to swear words. I have a lot of talk about it..."
Xu Shujing raised her hand: "No need to say more."
Sun Xiaowen shut up afterwards.
Since the incense burner demon was arrested, Sun Xiaowen's ghost head disappeared little by little, slowly returning to his previous appearance, and he didn't care much about this.
When Sun Xiaowen learned that the incense burner demon and his wife had a bitter love that had no result, he empathized with it and volunteered to Ying, hoping that the Jianyouwei could handle the incense burner demon with lenient treatment.
He sighed: "If I don't really like it, who would be willing to stay in a temple all the time?"
Watching Sun Xiaowen leave, Xu Shujing was amused and laughed: "This Sun Xiaowen is also considered the No. 1 strange man."
Wu Qi also nodded: "It's true."
He said he was tragic, but he always made people laugh. He said he was comedy, and the impression he left from childhood was failure and jokes.
Sun Xiaowen has a bad mouth and a constant temper. Sometimes she will show a hint of incredible goodness, although this is fleeting.
He lived every day in his own way, cursing with others, reconciling, and then scolding him, and gradually became a special celebrity in Shu County. This seemed incredible, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.
...
The Incense Burner Demon was locked in a special dark room. His hands and feet were locked in a pair of silver iron shackles, and he lay on the stone bed with his back to his back.
This is a "Piting Lock" specially made by Jianyouwei. It restrains the demonic power and ghost energy, making it difficult for demons to cast spells and cannot escape.
The one who deals with monks is another lock "Sweeping Lock", which can dispel the human body's spiritual power, isolate external spiritual energy, and make monks temporarily lose their cultivation.
The two locks are a pair, collectively known as "Piting and sweeping the lane", and are an important magic tool for monitoring the Youwei.
"Incense Burner Demon."
Xu Shujing looked solemn: "The Crow Ghost asked you to take a picture of the matter in the temple and hide it in the stone pillar. Is the person who is the tattooed man?"
"He is about five feet and nine inches tall, with a horse's face and a tattoo on his right arm, and often wanders outside the Lingxian King Temple."
The incense burner demon turned around slowly, and he moved his hands and feet, and the iron chains clattered.
When he saw Xu Shujing, he just yawned and didn't answer.
When his eyes swept to Wu Qi, the incense burner demon sat down and bowed with sincerity: "Thank you, Master, for waking up the infatuated demon."
Wu Qi nodded slightly: "You are still very young, please make a good transformation and try to come out early."
Xu Shujing coughed to hide the embarrassment of being ignored.
The Incense Burner Monster thought for a while and said, "It's not a tattoo man, it's a ghost... it looks like a wandering ghost, but it's different. Sometimes it disguises itself as a man's figure and mixes into the crowd to avoid attracting attention."
Xu Shujing frowned: "Shadow? Whose origin?"
"have no idea."
The Incense Burner Monster moved his hands and feet and pulled the zipper: "I kept paying attention to it and found it was it."
"There are men and women in front of the temple, with figures coming and going on the ground, and they shuttle back and forth in it. Even if they see abnormal shadows, they will only think that it is caused by others running."
Wu Qi turned around and was about to leave when the Incense Burning Demon asked again: "Master Taoist, after I came out... can I go to Fuyun Temple to study from you? I am not very smart, and I want to be able to figure things out like you, Taoist Taoist."
"sure."
Wu Qi smiled slightly: "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Thank you, Master." The eyes of the incense burner demon were shining.
After walking out of the dark room, Xu Shujing couldn't help but sigh: "Using the evil spirit with a dignified method, relieve his heart, dispel his depression, and understand his mind. No wonder Taoist priest speaks more effectively than Xu."
Wu Qi sighed: "All sentient beings suffer, and there are teachings but no distinctions."
Xu Shujing was silent for a while: "The Taoist priest said very well."
In Wu Qi's opinion, it is normal for the monsters and ghosts in the Tang Dynasty, as long as they do not commit crimes, they belong to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but their form is different from that of ordinary people.
People are afraid of demons and ghosts, and demons are even more afraid of humans.
The Tang Dynasty government and the Three Sects were like an insurmountable mountain, pressing on the heads of all the demons, making them feel like walking on thin ice and worried.
The goose ghost only dares to appear at night, for fear that he will accidentally scare people during the day and cause the government and even the guards to supervise Youwei.
Once thorough investigation is made, those who have no certificates will be admonished or even expelled, and ghosts who come to make a living will be sent back to their hometowns.
This is the case with the little fox demon Hong Ling. She left her hometown and was excluded and bullied by local demons in Shu County. She was bullied by real people.
There are also demons and ghosts, such as the soul cart, the grimacing horse and the incense burner demon, which is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
But most of them are unknown little demons, who live and migrate just for life.
Near the prefectures like Shu County, with Jianyouwei and monks from the three religions, the safety of demons and ghosts is more guaranteed and there are more opportunities for practice.
If you get the opportunity given to heaven or be taken by a monk of a sect, you can change your destiny and fortune.
Unfortunately, not most people agree with Wu Qi's idea.
If you are not of my race, your heart will be different.
The proverbs from ancient times to the present are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if the people of the Tang Dynasty have become accustomed to the existence of monsters and monsters, they can even deal with them calmly, but the inner barriers are difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.
Wu Qi was not affected because of his special personal situation and his cognitive thoughts did not belong to this world.
What he thought was simple.
In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you are not all men, women, old and young, demons, ghosts, or people? It’s just that some have certificates and some don’t. This is just the difference.
Those who agree with the culture and thoughts of the Tang Dynasty and are willing to abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty are the people of the Tang Dynasty.
...
Xu Shujing walked to the door and smiled and said, "Master, I wonder if I can ask Chongyang to come forward and track the shadow ghost?"
Wu Qi couldn't help but clench his fist.
Xu Shujing used to let herself work in vain, but now she is still having the wrong idea of Double Ninth Festival! She is really catching a sheep and fleece?
Bullying honest people!
Seeing that the other party's face was not good, Xu Shujing quickly added: "Of course, the Jianyouwei Association declared a reward and would never let the Taoist priest run away in vain."
"How many?"
Xu Shujing gritted her teeth: "Xu's funds that can be decided will be capped by two taels."
"make a deal."
