Chapter 25
After the meeting, Long Ziwei called Xu Xin'an into her office.
Bi Fang followed in while playing a game, without being greeted at all.
Long Ziwei took out a big backpack, opened it, and took out the contents to show Xu Xin'an. It's all for her.
There are a variety of talismans with outer packaging like paper towels, cinnabar cannons packed in candy bags, ready-to-look powder in makeup boxes, demon mirror-like mirrors, ordinary β‘β‘-like demon guns, demon suppression flashlights, soul-binding ropes, demon slaying daggers and a lot of other things, as well as several books, some teach spells, some teach drawing talismans, and so on.
Long Ziwei roughly taught Xu Xin'an how to use these things, and then talked about how to read and learn these books, and then said: "You can see for yourself first, how much you can understand, and I will teach you well when I am free." β
Xu Xin'an felt very novel, flipped through those books, and found that in fact, there were also such books in the ancestral treasures in her warehouse, and the content was similar. It's just that Long Ziwei is newly printed, and the ancestral ancient books are all in tatters.
Xu Xin'an took a look at this and touched it.
Long Ziwei looked at her, and suddenly sighed: "Peace of mind, maybe the will of heaven has been decided, I thought that the mission of our Xu and Long families should be gone in this generation, but I didn't expect this to happen." You have no spells, but you have the help of the gods to escape. The Xu family has long been far away from the demon subjugation realm, but you are involved in this catastrophe. As luck comes, it's really a divine guide, you should learn spells well, and it will definitely be useful in the future. β
Xu Xin'an listened to the fluctuation in his heart, and when he returned home, he still pondered the words, and he really felt that he was the heir of the mission.
Just like her mother, suddenly, she knew.
With this feeling, for several days, Xu Xin'an studied hard while looking at the store.
And there has been progress in confirming Chen Baichuan's identity. Relying on Qiu Saiyu's help, Xu Xin'an saw Chen Baichuan's household registration information, and judging from the ID card photo, it was indeed the Wu Chuan who tried to murder her.
She told Long Ziwei about it. Wu Chuan is Chen Baichuan. Long Ziwei and the others confirmed the reconnaissance target, and they knew it in their hearts, so they would have more confidence in investigating the matter.
Xu Xin'an's learning is to carefully look through the books that Long Ziwei gave her, look at it, flip through it, and then she suddenly had a new consciousness, that is, what kind of bullshit mission heir she feels is really a joke.
Because, these books, she can't read at all.
Bi Fang understood, and pointed out to her, this charm is what it means, and that spell is to be used like that. Ah, it turns out that you humans use this method against our gods, it's quite interesting, come, let me take a look at it first.
In this way, in this way, Xu Xin'an can almost understand the truth and logic, but who can remember these symbols? Much more complicated than the ones she carved into the candles! Obviously, when she was a child, she made rapid progress when she learned to draw talismans, and now she is only twenty-three years old, not old, why is her brain not bright?
Xu Xin'an called Long Ziwei: "Auntie, are all your talismans painted?" Can't you print it? β
"It is true that some small talismans can be printed, and now that science and technology are developed, there are also special cinnabar printing inks, but when you encounter a strong mana, you must draw a spell with blood, or in the middle of a war, the situation is critical, where to print? There are also some seals that are forged by spells, and they are not easy to do. Printing or something,It's for beginners to play and deal with some little ghosts.γ Or an excuse for a lazy and slippery half-demon slayer. β
"Oh." Is the lazy and slippery half-demon slayer referring to her? Hehe, definitely not. Because she's not even half-.
Xu Xin'an suddenly wilted.
You can't be so easily discouraged. Xu Xin'an cheered up and tried to draw a picture of the book. Draw it and it's really a talisman - a ghost draw talisman. And the painting is so grumpy, I want to die before I finish it. She really understood Bi Fang's mood in looking for the Death Shop.
I tried to draw another one, and I wanted to die even more.
Alas, Xu Xin'an held his chin to look at those talismans, mission heirs or something, it was really a lie. There's a ghost in her head.,It seems that I just don't want her to be able to draw.γ Obviously, she is a very patient person and loves to read, why is she so irritable when she learns spells now.
Xu Xin'an called Long Ziwei again and asked her how long it took them to learn these charms and spells. Long Ziwei said that they were still young at the time, and they all learned by rote memorization. They learned it in a group of three characters, one group took her two days, and her sister, Xu Xin'an's own mother, took less than half a day to get it.
Xu Xin'an suddenly wilted.
"I thought I was a genius, I knew what I was doing, I could use illusions to deal with illusions, I could conjure brooms, and I could communicate with you. As a result, I couldn't even draw a single symbol. Xu Xin'an couldn't help but muttered to Bi Fang.
Bi Fang, who was sitting on the side, said while playing the game console: "If you don't have fun learning, you don't need to learn, what's the use of being reluctant, it's hard and it's not fun." β
"No, it's not for fun." Xu Xin'an is righteous and strict, "This is for responsibility and a sense of achievement." The noble spiritual realm of human beings is not something that you, a monster who wants to die, can understand. β
Bi Fang smiled: "I see that you just learned and you look like you want to die." β
"......" Xu Xin'an was just about to refute, when the door of the store "Ding Ling" sounded, and a customer pushed the door in.
"Welcome." Xu Xin'an switched to the retail service industry professional mode in a second.
Coming in was a round and chubby young man, kind and cheerful. He looked very nervous, standing in the doorway and looking around the store before slowly walking in.
Xu Xin'an raised his eyebrows, with this expression and posture, he didn't know that he thought he was here to rob.
"Hello, do you need anything?" Xu Xin'an pushed his glasses and greeted with a smile.
The chubby boy walked over to the counter: "Uh, uh, I am, I am...... Uh......"
After hesitating for a long time, he hesitated, but he didn't have a complete sentence.
"Rat Demon." Bi Fang, who was playing with the game console, was really impatient and helped him out.
Xu Xin'an half-opened his mouth in surprise.
The chubby boy blushed and nodded.
"And then?" Xu Xin'an waited for a long time, and the fat mouse didn't say a word. It's complete, it's to rob, to eat people, or to buy candles.
"I, I wanted to come and ask you for a favor."
Xu Xin'an's mouth opened wide in surprise. Isn't it, how can she help? When did she switch to the monster service industry?
"But I don't have any money." The fat mouse looked ashamed.
Xu Xin'an's heart fluctuated. It's a mouse that has lived with humans for N years, and it really understands human feelings. The first sentence gets to the point, unlike the impolite, lazy and thick-skinned bird spirit.
But he didn't have any money, and she couldn't help, she was just a candle seller.
Well, isn't it time to show the sign that says "We don't accept monsters"?
The fat mouse looked at Xu Xin'an cautiously and said, "Although I don't have any money, I will try my best to repay you for your favor." That day, in that haunted house in the gray building in G City, I saw you. You, you're amazing. β
Xu Xin'an's heart fluctuated even more intensely, she was actually very powerful? She had been dying, struggling with wolf bèi.
Wait, she got it. "You're slapping me on the back?" Wouldn't that be too direct to embarrass the youkai?
The fat mouse's face turned red, and it seemed that it had indeed been punctured, but he still defended: "No, no, you are really good, you can successfully escape...... I...... Belch...... I've always lived there, it's very good, it's usually quiet, and then from time to time someone comes to explore it, and brings a lot of food, and then when I leave, I don't take it with me. So I had a good life before, eating and drinking. But that person came, a lot of friends were killed, I have been hiding, I saw you suddenly appear that day, although I am a little demon, but I also understand some. The man tried to deal with you, but you managed to escape. Then the other day, the man came back out of the blue, cleaned up everywhere, and then he found me. I've been running away, following your scent for a long time. β
"What are you looking for me to do?"
"That man will definitely want to kill me."
Xu Xin'an was surprised again: "You don't want me to protect you here, right?" β
"No, no, I just want to move to this area, but you can identify monsters, I'm afraid you'll accept me without saying a word, so I'm here to say hello. I don't do bad things, I usually just have something to eat. I can't live there, so I want to move closer to you. Then even if that man finds me, I won't be afraid. β
Xu Xin'an pondered for a long time: "Why are you not afraid that the person who moved here will find you?" β
Then she suddenly figured it out, "You mean that the two targets are together, and others will deal with the bigger target, and then you and I will meet the above anyway, and I must have sued sΓΉ, so that person will feel that there is no need to extinguish it?" β
"Huh?" The fat mouse took two steps back, with an expression of how he was pierced again, and then defended, "Not only that, but I also have a righteous heart and the excellent quality of helping others......
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xu Xin'an say: "Bi Fang, catch him." β
The fat mouse was so frightened that he glanced at the man on the sofa, and before he could turn his head and run, he suddenly felt a sudden heat around him, and when he turned around, he found that there was a fire-like red filament net erected around his body, and those filaments were fiery red and a little golden, and there seemed to be a small flame, intertwined, densely surrounded by a circle, trapping him.
The fat rat was shocked.
