It was no coincidence that they were quickly queued up after saying half of the words. The guards of Wanlong City actually used this special decontamination process for them. In fact, there is nothing mysterious about it. It is just that folklore is harmful to ghosts and beneficial to them.
Human methods were tried on people who came to the city. This was mainly for
To check whether the people entering and leaving the city had the possibility of disease. Beans, glutinous rice, white salt, and mugwort were all what Han Shan had seen before. After that, a red dot was pressed on each of their eyebrows to smell.
There was a faint fishy rust smell. After asking, I found out that it was chicken blood, black dog blood and red blood.
An evil-proofing thing made of sand and other materials in proportion, whether it is a situation where a person may suddenly become ill or is attacked by a living corpse, it will probably have an initial effect. The red spots can stay for a long time, so do not wash them when washing your face.
After all, keep it and walk around town, everyone knows you are
It's safe. However, only those who can enter this city have gone through strict vetting. I'm afraid this is a tactic to appease the people. But in fact, Amiao hates the smell of this kind of thing, and its spirit body leaves
People stay away from it. Maybe it really makes non-human things feel bad.
And the water that everyone needs to drink is not as simple as salt water. The four of them finally understood why an unlucky guy suddenly spurted the water out. This water is not very salty, but it is made from incense ash and is not strong.
But it’s hard enough for people to swallow. Listen
Quan still curiously inquired about that man. It turned out that after they poured incense ash and salt water into him, if he didn't choke to death or go crazy, it would be fine. But their methods were really rough, and even if they were angry, they wouldn't dare to let it out.
Yeah, Ling Huan thought to himself.
"Speaking of which, please tell me, brothers, has this method ever really worked in the detection of living corpses?"
As soon as Xie Zhe opened his mouth, several pairs of eyes glanced over at him. They were shocked, thinking that Xie Zhe had said the wrong thing.
"There's something missing here! He almost got into the city..."
It turned out that he had forgotten about him again.
Xie Zhe, who was dragged through the process again, cooperated and asked questions at the same time. Although these big brothers had half their faces covered, one and two of them were very fierce, but it was actually not that difficult to speak. They said that there was really no real talk for so long.
Catch a few sick people, but
It is true that no patients have sneaked into the city. The possible source of the disease is relatively far away from here, and it has not affected this place for the time being. And these methods are all the ideas of the city lord who brainstormed and relied on the onmyoji he recruited. I don't know if they are useful, but it is better to be prepared.
real.
Entering the city safely, they quickly felt the bustling and lively atmosphere. Sure enough, unlike those dangerous small places, everything in Wanlong City was elegant and orderly. The streets and alleys were not posted with notices or wanted orders, but...
Recruitment lists for onmyojis, charlatans, Taoist monks, etc. are similar in content. When I went to a noodle shop to eat, there was also such a thing posted in the store.
"This stuff is really everywhere."
When Miyin pointed her way over, the waiter brought three pairs of bowls and chopsticks and said to her:
"I can't help it. It's a rule to post this thing. However, the reason why Wanlong City is safe so far is because the city lord is so cautious and far-sighted. Are some of them from other places? I wonder if anyone knows how to ward off evil spirits. The city lord feels like living corpses
It's an evil spirit, offering huge rewards to talented people. Even if you don't know magic, if you can make useful suggestions and give useful things, you will be rewarded heavily."
Han Zhang hit Xie Zhe with his elbow, but the latter didn't say a word, probably thinking about something. Han Zhang said in a low voice:
"You have money, lots of real money."
"What can we do? And we are not short of money."
"Oh," Han Chang patted him, "We can't always...right. It's a bit too much to always take advantage of girls. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xie Zhe looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. Han Chang raised his eyebrows, looking a little bit needy. Xie Zhe didn't say these words, for fear of causing more trouble. Han Chang made a gesture toward the two girls chatting opposite him.
Nodding, Xie finally understood what he meant.
Indeed, one cannot always owe Miss Ye a favor. No matter what, the money for Fengyun Zhan Scabbard must be paid to her, so Xie Zhe nodded to show that he understood. Watching the two of them flirting here, the waiter
Finally realizing that he was missing a pair of bowls and chopsticks, he didn't dare to say anything and ran to get them again.
"Let me think about it again. This method is not always available. If it doesn't work, I have to rush on my way, and I will default on it first..."
Xie Zhe muttered. His voice was very low, and his eyes looked across the table from time to time. Fortunately, the two girls were busy chatting, so no one noticed their little movements. Amiao didn't like the red spots on their heads, so she simply avoided them.
Entering the shamisen.
"How do you feel?" Ling Huan asked Mi Yin.
"What do you mean?"
Ling Huan scratched the skin around the cinnabar and said hesitantly: "I feel...a little itchy. Aren't you itchy?"
"I didn't...do you have ringworm?"
"Then, what kind of disease is that? Is it a skin disease that won't go away if you have it?"
"It's not that scary. Not all ringworms are that serious. Some people get ringworms when they breathe too much pollen in the spring. Some people can't eat certain fruits and vegetables. Some people even get ringworms after eating eggs."
"Am I interested in cinnabar or blood... Oh, what should I do? Not only do I feel itchy, but I'm also a little hot. It feels like someone is poking my head with a fire stick!"
"I don't know about this either. The best way is to wash it with clean water, but in this Wanlong City..."
Seeing that the tone of the two girls chatting was very serious, Han Shangyang asked a lot:
"What happened?"
"Miss Ye's skin seems to be unable to adapt to the red spots, but she doesn't dare to wash it off..."
"Oh, what should I do? How about I go to the pharmacy now?"
"No, no, no, no," Ling Huan waved his hands repeatedly, "No need to trouble you so much with everything. I'm not particularly uncomfortable. I can bear it, so don't bother with such small things."
"That's what you said, why is this matter so minor?"
Having said that, Han Sheng saw that there was really nothing wrong with her, so he slowly sat back down as soon as he stood up. Xie Zhe remained silent, probably thinking of some solution. Ling Huan was now scratching his wrist through the gauze.
Itchy, maybe the wound is starting to heal. At this time, the skin is always itchy like a colony of ants crawling over it, which is unbearable.
They had a slightly more substantial meal. In addition to a small bowl of special noodles each, they also ordered two more dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, plus a pot of delicious fish soup. The price is expensive, but it is cheap.
It's not cheap, but every dish is endlessly memorable. This is the charm of street food. If you go to those well-known restaurants with a lot of money, you won't be able to taste this taste.
It was lunch time, and the store was understaffed, so even after calling the waiter for a long time, Ling Huan stood up and took the initiative to go to the counter to count the money, but Mi Yin did not move. Han Sheng did not shy away from her, and shook his head in front of her.
Zhe said bluntly:
"Think of a way, Lao Xie!"
"I'm not old," Xie Zhe frowned for the ten thousandth time and retorted righteously, "Also, what can I do?"
Xue Miyin felt strange and stared at the two of them blankly.
"I can't stop cheating with Miss Ye like this! After seeing Yun Waijing, I have to send her back properly. Even if I eat and drink all the way, my conscience will feel guilty!"
"I know, I know! But they know very well how to ward off evil spirits. What other ideas can I come up with?"
"You are an Onmyoji! Onmyojis are capable of doing anything!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they felt that the store became a little quieter.
This is a bit creepy. The three people looked around quietly and found that all the people nearby who heard it were looking at them. Soon, people from a distance also looked over, wondering what they were thinking about. From their eyes
There was nothing wrong in his eyes, but the behavior of this group was a little abnormal. At this time, the accountant who had just collected the money suddenly ran towards here with the account book. Ling Huan squeezed through the crowd in confusion and chased after him.
"Are you an Onmyoji?"
The young accountant was a little excited. He stared directly at Xie Zhe's mouth, waiting for him to give a positive answer.
"Uh, yes..."
"Mom! There is an Onmyoji here! Tell the Yamen quickly!!"
The cashier suddenly let out a loud roar, which was clearly heard by the whole store. After a longer silence, louder discussions suddenly broke out in the store, nothing more than discussing the people at this table, especially the most unattractive ones.
This tight-lipped young man is actually an Onmyoji! If you look closely, you can see that he really had no sense of presence just now... If you didn't look here deliberately, you would have thought that there were only three people sitting facing each other and eating.
What's the use of an extra pair of chopsticks? Ancestor worship?
As for the woman who called the accountant - she was actually the proprietress of this store. She was leaning on the railing on the second floor, and when she had nothing to do, she looked down at the crowded scene. When her son called out like this, she immediately became energetic and stretched her legs.
She ran downstairs, faster than flying. She ran over, grabbed Xie Zhe's hand, and said affectionately:
"Master, come with me to the Yamen."
Well, those who didn't know thought that Xie Zhe was a plainclothes agent and had committed some serious crime of murder and arson.
"Why?" Xie Zhe blurted out.
"Those who recommend talents can also get a small part of the reward," Xue Miyin pointed to the notice, "Didn't you see? The small print is quite clear. Logically speaking, you should observe the time spent on a meal.
It has to be almost right.”
"Who has time to pay attention to this?"
But no matter how Xie Zhe explained or resisted, he could not get rid of this enthusiastic middle-aged woman. He had no choice but to agree to accompany her to the Yamen. Others could also accompany her and set off together. Fortunately, it was not far from the Yamen.
It's too far, otherwise the food we just ate would be completely digested. After we pulled him to the Yamen, he said that they were just in time, and the city lord was about to come to inspect.
The latest Onmyoji who visited, they asked Xie Zhe to prepare. He was confused from just now, and he felt like he was rushing to the shelves, and now he is even more confused. But it's nothing, he hurriedly got through it.
At this level, if you really have no choice, just leave here with your companions. Anyway, people leaving Wanlong City, at least for now, are allowed to go anywhere.
Then a few people followed them in a daze. Xie Zhe was the only one with a "team", and there were five other Onmyoji masters. They didn't look serious, nor could they be called unreasonable. If they didn't have any real skills, they did.
It can make you feel like an Onmyoji. As usual, the city lord's men come to inspect and live in a nearby restaurant.
Unexpectedly, they soon met an old acquaintance - not very old either. The acquaintance was sitting at the table, with an upright and upright posture like a bell. The saying "standing as loose as a pine and sitting as like a bell" probably refers to this kind of person.
.
The old acquaintance was wearing a white-on-gold-patterned dress, and he happily picked up a cup of tea. Several people glanced at the table, and this guy really received an incredible meal. No matter how high the style and grade of the decoration here are,
Just the pile of remains of delicacies from the mountains and seas can make the mouths water of those who have just eaten.
"It's you." Gui Hai didn't seem surprised, "You're welcome, sit down."
