Chapter 27: Magical Instrument: Copper Coin Bag

[Original Demonic Qi.Mortal]*2
[Soul-soothing Incense]*2
Song Wuji picked up the dropped items and while looking for his next target, he checked what the soul-soothing incense was.

Soul-soothing incense: left behind by wandering ghosts after they have fulfilled their obsessions. It has the power to soothe the soul and can be used to "worship gods".

Good things can be kept for spiritual practice. As for worshiping gods, I myself am the Kitchen God.

Soon, Song Wuji found another ghost eating the corpses of the victims.

[Human Skin Minions. Disaster Victims]

This has been dealt with. If you burn it with fire, it will explode by itself, or if you poke it with a knife, it will leak.

Song Wuji took two steps at a time, but the ghost was very agile and immediately stopped gnawing. It twisted its neck strangely and turned over to crawl like a cockroach.

This scared Song Wuji, and he thought that this was not the style of the evil spirits in the Central Plains.

Subconsciously, I used the Fire Technique to move forward, not daring to let him get close.

After burning 5 points of mana, a ball of fire immediately flew out from the torch.

When the stove fire fell, the human skin minions exploded on the spot, scattering human skin all over the ground, still burning.

The explosion was so loud that it attracted a lot of attention.

Even the battles between the civil and military henchmen, the county lieutenant Chen Xiu, the instructor Lu Han, and even the priests of the City God Temple were distracted.

Even though it was three against two, and with the City God and the Six Officials walking fearlessly to assist and pull the strings, they were unable to gain an advantage.

Song Wuji didn't dare to intervene in their fight. He just picked up the fallen original demonic energy and talisman paper, and went to support others, especially the doctors from the Medical Department, who were very nice to Song Wuji.

Unexpectedly, the City God had absolute control over their talismans, allowing them to fight uncontrollably, and when they died, their souls would return directly to the City God's underworld.

This made Song Wuji more convinced that the City God was a hidden villain.

The first person Song Wuji met was Doctor Li. The ritual of the Medical Bureau required him to take a set of twelve medicinal essences, plus a set of medical instruments that he frequently used.

Doctor Li is good at acupuncture, and his medical tool is a set of golden needles. Although he is over 80 years old at this time, he is still very agile and has a light body. He inserts the golden needles into the body of the ghost to seal the ghost's energy.

But after all, I'm old and my physical strength is not as good as before.

[Tongqian clerk. Accounting office]

Song Wuji was shocked. This was a kind of ghost he had never seen before. If it was not a leader, it was at least an elite monster.

But the evil spirit was holding an abacus and occasionally throwing out a copper coin as a hidden weapon. Doctor Li had been hit by several darts, and the copper coins were stuck in his flesh, covered in blood.

This evil ghost wasn't feeling well either, as several golden needles were inserted into various acupuncture points on his body.

Although Song Wuji was timid, he took action when it was time to do so and rushed forward: "Mr. Li, I'm here to help you!"

The long-range one is definitely afraid of close combat, so Song Wuji attacked from behind.

Doctor Li was stunned for a moment, then regained some consciousness and said, "Don't go, Xiao Song. If I die, I will report to the City God's Office."

But Song Wuji had already rushed forward, and the accountant refused to let Song Wuji get close and threw three copper coin darts.

Song Wuji simply blocked it with the blood-stained kitchen knife, like catching a ball in table tennis.

The copper coin was so powerful that it made my wrist feel a little strained.

Seeing that he missed, the accountant was about to attack again, but then he saw golden needles being thrown at him and piercing into his body.

Song Wuji took the opportunity to stab the ghost in the chest and then pulled it out.

The ghost was furious and opened his mouth, revealing silver teeth, which he shot like hidden weapons.

Song Wuji was hit hard by the silver tooth, and his health was instantly reduced by half. However, he also accumulated anger and stabbed several times in succession, and the murderous aura on the blood-stained kitchen knife became even stronger.

The torch in his left hand swung out a tail flame and hit the accountant's accomplice hard.

The accountant used an abacus to block, but Doctor Li had already inserted seven golden needles into the Dazhui point on his back and then pulled them out all at once, deflated his energy.

In an instant, the gas ignited the stove fire and burned him whole.

The flames even rushed towards Song Wuji, but thanks to Song Wuji's affinity with fire, his eyebrows were not burned.

After the accountant's henchman was burned by the flames, he instantly released the tiger demon's henchman technique. Amidst the aroma of food, he vaguely saw his grandparents coming to pick him up.

The abacus in his hand fell to the ground, and the beads fell to the ground.

"Mother, wait a little longer. I'll be here soon..."

After a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, the copper coin was burned to ashes.

Song Wuji quickly picked up what had fallen.

[Original Demonic Qi.Mortal]*3
[Ghost Tears]*1
[Magic Instrument. Copper Coin Bag]*1
[Witnessing the battle firsthand, I watched intently as the copper coin darts were used by the copper coin dart wielders... I learned the art of free-hand combat: throwing coins.]

A magical weapon dropped! I also learned a free-hand move!
It's not easy!

Magical weapon. Copper coin bag: Before being eaten by the tiger demon, the copper coin minion was still thinking that his wages for this month had not been sent back home yet. He wondered if his wife and children would not be able to buy food, and whether his old mother would not have enough to eat. After turning into a minion ghost, he still guarded the bag of copper coins tightly, planning to send it back home one day.

Effect: The coins punched out will be automatically taken back, 50 coins will be taken back every quarter of an hour, and the maximum number of coins that can be taken is 300.

Song Wuji sighed deeply. Before becoming a ghost, the henchman was also an ordinary person trying to make a living.

After putting away his purse, Song Wuji went to see Ghost Tears again.

This is a new material.

Ghost Tears: These tears shed by purified and liberated ghosts are the final wisp of their obsession at the moment of liberation. They have a salty and bitter taste and enter the kidney and heart meridians. Ingesting them directly can increase the power of the Three Treasures, but will directly impact the obsession. They can also be used in refining medicine or as a seasoning.

Although he had the ability to take medicine, it was still dangerous to enter the illusion. Song Wuji did not eat it rashly, but had to wait for a safe environment to try it.

"What are you standing there for?" Doctor Li pulled out the copper coin with a groaning sound.

Song Wuji only then noticed that this eighty-year-old man needed care, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, are you okay?"

Doctor Li said, "After joining the City God's Office, I had no choice but to do things my own way. I thought I would be slaying demons and monsters and assisting the army. I never thought I would be fighting and killing at my age. Fortunately, I learned some martial arts from my family when I was young."

Song Wuji was envious of his ability to throw golden needles. It just so happened that he had learned a free-hand move, and the hidden weapon was clearly a long-range damage, which was suitable for him.

"Is your old injury okay?"

"It's not a serious injury."

"Just take some wood ash and apply it to me."

Doctor Li said, "Go help others. I'll just take a rest."

Song Wuji thought about it, lit a piece of soul-soothing incense, and said, "Mr. Li, this is what I just got from the ghost. It feels like a good thing. You can regulate your breathing and quickly recover your energy."

"Let's go kill the ghosts together later."

Doctor Li smelled the fragrance, nodded, and without asking any more questions, he immediately closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing. An old Chinese medicine practitioner like him basically knows some Taoist internal skills and guiding techniques, such as the Five Animal Exercises and Eight-Section Brocade.

Although Song Wuji did not close his eyes, he practiced the Kitchen God's mental method to slowly recover his magic power.
