Da Zaojun

Chapter 28: Magical Instrument: Lard Jar

When Song Wuji and Old Li were regulating their breathing, some ignorant ghosts came over and wanted to eat them.

Although these minions are not like monsters and can obtain the memory and habits of a person by eating that person, they can also be promoted by eating people, from ordinary minions to elite minions.

This is also the reason why the copper coin thief was so difficult to deal with.

Song Wuji was a "good man" who emitted white light, and in the eyes of the ghosts, he was the best blood food. Doctor Li practiced medicine all his life, curing many illnesses and saving many lives. Even the City God said that after Doctor Li died, he could become a "good ghost" and become the director of the Medical Department, a ninth-rank ghost.

With two such good people, ordinary minions will not be attracted, but powerful minions will be attracted instead.

[Butcher's Knife. Pig Killer]

This minion held a sharp pig-killing knife in its hand, which looked much more ferocious than the blood-stained kitchen knife that Song Wuji got when he killed the corpse-eating minion.

The butcher, after being transformed into a gangster, had a "王" character pattern on his head, hard hair growing out of his fat body, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fangs were intertwined.

"They are two large animals. I will slaughter them and give them to the king. I will only keep the two trotters. My wife just gave birth and needs to stew soybeans to increase her milk production..."

The butcher chopped with his knife, opening and closing it vigorously, as smoothly as killing a pig.

Song Wuji immediately reached into his copper coin bag and threw out a coin.

Three copper coins flew out and hit the butcher's accomplice, but they didn't cause much damage. They only made the butcher's accomplice feel angry and ridiculed.

The hidden weapon technique that Song Wuji secretly learned did not involve any method of attaching true energy. It was purely based on the strength and skill level, and it consumed physical energy.

There was no other way, Song Wuji could only adopt the kite tactic and started jogging, throwing copper coins as he ran.

Close combat is definitely not an option, as the copper coins won’t be powerful enough if you’re too far away.

Fortunately, with the Kitchen God's mental method, Song Wuji's physical strength was exhausted, but he could recover it after taking a short breath. This butcher's henchman was fat and his flexibility was very average.

The man and the ghost were only pulled to a distance of five or six meters. Once the butcher's henchman broke free from the pull, Song Wuji threw out copper coins to attract the ghost's hatred.

The only concern is that the number of copper coins in the copper coin bag is limited.

As for the Fire-Starting Technique, Song Wuji's mana has not recovered yet. If he throws out another one, it will be difficult to perform it a third time. Only then will he be truly passive.

Song Wuji had escaped from the butcher's henchman for less than a cup of tea when Doctor Li, with the help of the soul-soothing incense, calmed his internal energy and restored his strength. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to prick his own acupuncture points with gold needles to stimulate the vital energy in his body and force himself to recover.

Seeing Song Wuji being chased by this evil ghost, he immediately threw out his golden needles and hit the acupoints of the butcher ghost, causing the butcher ghost to howl.

Song Wuji threw a handful of copper coins, but when he wanted to throw another one, he found that the coin bag was empty and he could only wait for it to be automatically collected.

So he could only say, "Mr. Li, don't fight him in close combat. He's very strong."

Li Laodao: "Where's the fire you just made? Burn him! He's a fat man and is most afraid of fire."

Seeing that Doctor Li was in good condition and should be able to recover and protect him for a while, Song Wuji nodded fiercely and pointed his sword with his hand: "Start the fire!"

The stove fire brought with it the aroma of braised pork.

The butcher's accomplice sensed danger and chopped it with his butcher knife. However, the stove fire was an invisible thing after all, so when it was hit, it only split into two small flames.

The butcher's knife swatted one flower away, but another had already landed on him, setting his clothes on fire. The butcher's knife wasn't a human skin slayer; he had enough fat on him to burn for a while. The scent-eating illusion was useful against some wandering ghosts, but it had no effect on a vicious, lonely demon like him who had never experienced parental love since childhood.

Not everyone is born and raised by parents.

The butcher's accomplice was simply enraged by these illusions of redemption: "You left in the beginning, so why are you back now pretending to be so?"

The butcher's henchman slashed at the air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Elder Li threw out his golden needles, piercing several "ghost points" on the ghost's body. Immediately, a lot of yellow liquid leaked out.

It turned out that the butcher's lackey was full of fat, which the tiger demon didn't like to eat. After he became a lackey, he assisted the tiger demon in slaughtering human sacrifices and had a certain status. So he collected the "human fat" and refined it into oil to drink.

At this time, all that leaked out of the stomach was oil.

As the oil came out, the flames grew stronger and stronger, and the flesh on the butcher's body gave off a burnt aroma, somewhat like the smell of plucking the hair and burning the skin of a pig during the New Year slaughter.

"Eat meat! Eat meat! Once we kill the pig, we'll have meat to eat. Cui Niang, we have meat to eat..."

As the flames enveloped his entire body, the butcher fell down, and the human skin he was wearing cracked, revealing a charred pig brain.

A pair of pig eyes revealed confusion.

The tiger demon took possession of his Cui Niang. He picked up a butcher knife to resist, but was also eaten.

After being transformed into a lackey, the tiger demon said, "When you were a human, you had a human head, but looked like a pig, and you used a knife to slaughter pigs. This is your karma being attached to external appearances."

"Now that you've killed people, it should be the opposite. I'll reward you with a pig's head. The more you kill, the more human you'll become. In my presence, you'll be more like a real person than before. This is karma..."

Song Wuji looked at this big pig head and suddenly felt unwell.

Because the pig demon in Songjia Village, Yezhupo, is dressed as a butcher with a pig's head, which is the deepest hatred of the original body.

[Original Demonic Qi.Mortal]*5
[Weapon: Pig-killing Knife]

[Ritual Instrument: Lard Jar]
Song Wuji gasped for breath and said to Li Lao: "I can't use that trick anymore. I can't light the fire anymore. I need to rest."

Old Li praised him, "Your fire may not look big, but it's quite powerful. Even if the Punisher stimulates his own blood and Yang energy to ignite a Yang fire to injure the enemy, it's still not as powerful as your kitchen fire!"

Song Wuji didn't show off and just said, "It's all luck!"

Then he practiced the Kitchen God's Heart Method while checking the two items, thinking: Is my luck so good today? Both weapons and magic tools dropped.

Weapon: Butcher Knife: The tiger demon once told the butcher knife's henchmen that killing over a hundred people would negate their karma of butchering pigs, allowing them to regain their human form and freedom. However, karma is nothing more than a layer of lard that obscures the mind. Believers are driven mad, but what can they do about it? Those who wield the knife can unleash the power of the butcher.

Magical Instrument: Lard Jar: The tiger demon uses the "hiding" technique to replace the butcher's heart with an aged lard jar. Consuming the lard directly increases the essence of the Three Treasures, but it can also be used for lighting or cooking. When the demon is slain, the lard jar automatically collects its "fat."

Song Wuji also learned something about the tiger demon from these two things. He felt that the tiger demon was very good at understanding human hearts, even to a terrifying degree.

This method of concealment was originally used to consecrate the "statue of God", but the tiger demon concealed it on the minions, which shows that he disdains gods and Buddhas. The perverse theory of cause and effect karma hides the ultimate trap.

Humans eat wild animals, so can’t wild animals eat humans?
