The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 144 Civil and Military Law

In Dali court, officials are divided into three categories:

Literature, martial arts and law.

Wen refers to civil servants.

Wu, naturally a military officer.

The so-called "law" refers to "Mage".

That is Warlock.

The Taoist sects are relatively grouped together, and there is a behemoth of the Taoist sect like Qingxuan Temple sitting in the town, so naturally they will not cooperate with the imperial court.

Buddhism is equally strong, and Buddhist disciples are all "monks", and they will not enter the government to become officials.

However, it is obviously not enough for the court to have only literati and warriors, and it needs people with supernatural powers.

Warlocks, with chaotic factions, do not have a unified sect inheritance, and are extremely good at dealing with ghosts and evils, so they have become the best recruiting targets for the imperial court.

Warlocks, unlike Taoists, have a strong backer, and also need to rely on the imperial court to expand their own living space.

Therefore, the two hit it off.

The imperial court not only specially set official ranks for warlocks, which were equal to civil and military officials, but even established official schools to train warlocks.

After so many years, literature, martial arts, and law have almost become the fixed collocation of officials at all levels of the imperial court.

Civil officials are responsible for government affairs, martial arts are responsible for military equipment, and mages are responsible for dealing with ghosts and evils.

The patrol envoy is a sixth-rank official position. Although the grade is not high, it is directly under Yushitai. It patrols the world on behalf of the imperial court and supervises local officials.

However, there is no affiliation relationship between the two.

Normally, the attached mage needs to obey the orders of the civil servants, but the mage itself is independent and has an equal status with it.

Therefore, the patrol envoy cannot force this female Master Yunxian in red to do things she is unwilling to do.

……

……

in the room.

The female mage Yunxian in red looked at the scarecrow lying on the table, and said the soul-attracting mantra:

"Where do the wandering souls stay? Surprised and strange on the top of the barren hills; now the pillars of the Ziliang Gate Pavilion are erected, and Xuer Xuer returns quickly.

Where do the wandering souls live, the wild beaches and graves and forests by the river; please find the way quickly, and return the wandering souls quickly.

Where does the wandering soul go, don't be frightened, and lose the true soul.I am sending the boy now, so that you can live in peace. "

Lu Qian lurked aside, listening quietly.

Her "Soul Attracting Curse" is only partly the same as what Lu Qian learned from Tan Yuanguan.

To be precise, he only said the first sentence at that time, and did not say the last two sentences to Lu Qian.

Tan Yuanguan was Lu Qian's "paper minister" at the beginning, so he couldn't have lied to Lu Qian.

It can only show that Tan Yuanguan didn't fully learn the soul-inducing spell when he first learned it.

Only the mantra recited by Master Yunxian is complete.

Of course, if you just recite the first sentence of the soul-attracting mantra, it may not be impossible to use it.Maybe it's just a difference in intensity.

Under normal circumstances, after she finished chanting this spell, she would be able to attract Lin Shangzhen's ghost from the void and possess it on the scarecrow.

The scarecrow is woven from the essence of the five grains, and it is one of the most ideal dwelling places for ghosts.

Unfortunately, there is a problem here.

Lin Shangzhen's ghost needs to exist in this world.

The cry of a crying baby hits the soul directly.

That is to say, the person who is cried to death by the crying baby will lose his soul and leave no trace in the world.

Master Yun Xian finished reciting the incantation and waited for a long time, but there was no response at all.

Master Yunxian was a little surprised. She recited the soul-attracting spell again, but still did not see Lin Shangzhen's ghost returning.

At this time, she finally understood, and said angrily: "Damn it. Who did this, even destroying people's ghosts?

I originally wanted to extract their secrets from this ghost of Lin Shangzhen, but it seems that I can't. "

Master Yunxian thought for a while, then picked up the scarecrow on the table, tore off the soul-attracting talisman on its body, threw it into the brazier and burned it, and then took out another soul-attracting talisman and stuck it on the scarecrow.

Then, she took out a white porcelain bottle from her bosom, uncorked the bottle, and dripped some bright red blood on the scarecrow.

To be precise, it dripped on the talisman paper on the scarecrow.

Afterwards, Master Yunxian performed the technique of attracting souls.

In the pitch-black courtyard, there was a piece of tranquility, not even the leaves swaying.

Suddenly, a cloudy wind suddenly picked up on the flat ground, and a cloudy wind swept across, blowing straight towards the door of the house.

Lu Qian keenly felt that there was a strong yin energy that "blew" into the room through the crack of the door.

At this time, the scarecrow lying on the table suddenly stood up.

Seeing this, Lu Qian had a little understanding in his heart.

It turned out that this was the soul-inducing technique.

Use the blood of the ghost to locate it.

Use charms, scarecrows and charms to summon it.

However, the ghost summoned at this time is useless.

Because it is just a remnant soul, without consciousness, without memory.

Almost blank.

If you want to ask it a question, it is tantamount to a dream, and this remnant soul will naturally not answer.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian couldn't help but look at the fish tank on the table.

Lu Qian vaguely realized what this "yin-yang clove" was for.

Black fish is Yin and white fish is Yang.

This black fish can obviously communicate with ghosts in the dark.

And this white fish is not only connected to the black fish, but also connected to the Yang world.

Lu Qian guessed that the two black and white "yin-yang cloves" should be used for the conversion of yin and yang.

really.

I saw Master Yunxian pinched a hand formula, pointing at the black fish in the fish tank.

The black fish immediately shook in the water, then turned over, and suddenly stretched its mouth out of the water, as if lacking oxygen, opened its mouth and began to "inhale".

However, what it sucks is not air, but ghosts.

A wisp of Yin Qi left the scarecrow and flowed into Heiyu's mouth.

After a few breaths, when the last ray of Yin Qi was sucked into the mouth by the black fish.

The scarecrow standing on the table suddenly fell down again.

After the black fish completely inhaled the Yin Qi into its mouth, it turned around and sank back into the bottom of the water.

Master Yunxian made another hand formula, pointing to the fish tank muttering words.

She spoke so fast and her voice was so vague that Lu Qian couldn't hear what she was reading at all.

However, she only read three or five sentences before stopping.

Lu Qian, who was lurking outside the window and watching the movement in the room, couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing Yun Xian's actions.

Since Lin Shangzhen's ghost is no longer there, why didn't Master Yunxian tell the truth, but brought another ghost who didn't know who it was?
What does she want to do?
Master Yunxian finished all these quickly, then calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and said loudly:

"Lord Pang Bochuan, you can come in now."

In the courtyard, the young son and patrol envoy Pang Bochuan, who stood with his hands behind his back, had already sensed a dark wind blowing out of nowhere.

Hearing this, he turned around and walked towards the house.

Pang Bochuan walked into the room, saw the scarecrow standing on the table, and couldn't help showing a gleam of joy on his face, and asked, "It's done?"

Master Yun Xian said indifferently: "Yes, I have summoned Lin Shangzhen's ghost. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

Pang Bochuan looked at the scarecrow standing on the table, then glanced at the fish tank next to him, and finally looked at Master Yunxian, and asked with a smile, "I'm afraid this scarecrow can't talk?"

Master Yun Xian said: "Yin Yang Dingmu can absorb the memories of his life and answer instead of him."

Pang Bochuan nodded and said: "So that's the case. Then, let Master Yunxian..."

Master Yunxian nodded, then stretched out his hand to make a formula, pointing to the fish tank.

In the fish tank, a black fish and a white fish swim with their tails in the bottom of the water, and actually circle around the fish tank.

Upon seeing this, Master Yunxian said to Pang Bochuan, "Okay, you can ask now."

After hearing this, Pang Bochuan pointed to the fish tank and asked, "Who killed you?"

The black and white fish in the fish tank seemed to have heard his question, and their speed of swimming and rotation suddenly accelerated.

As they swim, they create waves on the water.

A strange scene suddenly emerged, and this layer of waves gradually formed three words on the water surface:

Shi fair.
