Chapter 17: Devil's Finger Wood

The next night, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess slept with each other, but the spirit had already gone to the warehouse of the Persona Silan Taiwan Department to check the files.

This is a good place for Li Zhen's latest discovery, there are many records involving monks and strange people to see, and the environment is quiet.

Increasing his knowledge is also what he desires now, and he decided to spend time here in addition to cultivating and soaring clouds in the future.

Tonight's Hearsay Division is a little deserted, and it seems that many people have been mobilized because of Li Zhen's report last night, and rushed to Takihe Yizhuang to encircle and suppress the Demon Dao.

Li Zhen didn't know the specific time of their action, so he simply stayed in the department and waited for the rabbit.

His spirit wandered among the orderly wooden shelves, constantly scanning the wooden tags hanging on them with his divine sense, looking for things that interested him, and soon discovered the pattern of sorting them according to the time and time and the nature of the case.

After some checking, I was able to confirm that the token I found was a token of the Changzhou Corpse Immortal Sect.

The four sects of the Demon Dao, Huangquan, Ghost, Corpse Immortal, and White Bone come from the same source, and the tokens are similar, but the difference between factions can be seen from the surrounding ornaments.

"I hope that I will not wake up from a long sleep, and I will be left as a fairy ...... in the spring platform"

"In the Underworld...... ...... of the Underworld"

"No matter how you explain it, it has nothing to do with that sect. ”

He guessed that Envoy Mu and the others were the demons of the Changzhou Corpse Immortal Sect, lurking in, wanting to make waves in the Xuanxin Kingdom.

Such a group of people sneaking into the royal city will not come for sightseeing, maybe if they are not careful, they will even be involved in it.

This is not a delusion of victimization, but something that has happened in history.

Thousands of years ago, a certain kingdom in Xuanzhou was destroyed due to demonic ways, and even more recently, similar tragedies emerged one after another.

The so-called incompatibility between good and evil is not just a slogan.

It is inevitable that some unspeakable things will be involved in the dossier, and leading beasts to eat people is only one of them.

These captives and the like are not slavery that is not understood by ordinary people, but the kind of slavery that cannot be liberated from the soul.

Compared with those evil deeds, the crimes committed by the squire Huang De are simply not worth mentioning, and they are generally shown to the public and confiscated the family property.

This is one of the lighter standards for conviction in the Hearsia Division.

Li Zhen soon saw a case, there was a case of loose cultivation with the help of the magic skill sacrifice refining weapon, and actually added the qi and blood essence yuan as lamp oil, and all the mortals who were captured by him were raised with strange Gu, and continued to torture for more than ten years, life is better than death.

This is also nothing in the standards of the Persona Division, at best it is only a moderate crime of killing ordinary people, and it is not as serious as cultivating demonic skills.

I really don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, my secret cultivation of demonic skills also violated the laws formulated by the great monks for low-level monks, and borrowing from the theory itself has already been guilty of practice.

This is because most of the crimes that can really be called felonies are related to the divine soul and the Dao system, or the number of people involved is too large, and it is often counted in millions and millions.

"Why don't there be any records of centipedes?"

"Is this a new breed that hasn't had time to be archived yet, or is it too high a secret level to be stored here?"

In the past files, Li found water monkeys, mandrills, and monsters such as zombies, poisonous people, blood bats, and demon dogs that he had never seen before, but he did not find any words related to human centipedes.

After thinking about it, it may be because of the latter.

Li Zhen actually didn't care too much about the human head centipede, what he really cared about was that kind of fragrant wood.

It must be a spiritual material, and it seems that it will have to spend some more effort to find it.

After a night of silence, another night, Li Zhen went to the Persona Division again, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of a large number of people mixed together.

"They're back, and they seem to have made a catch!"

Li Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, he actually smelled the breath of the wooden envoy near the gate!

When he went inside, he walked around and found that the bodies of the wooden envoy and the younger subordinate were already lying in the morgue.

Someone used a kind of inflow spiritual material called Ice Stone to do a simple embalming treatment, and also cleaned up the blood stains, which is convenient for inspection, if you don't look at those shocking wounds, it really looks like you are sleeping.

Yes, two more "long sleeps".

The belongings they were carrying were in a separate room, and they were all kept as physical evidence.

After all, it is the chief helmsman of the division, and the rules still have to be talked about, and it is unlikely that it will be disposed of as trophies at will, and if it is at the rudder hall below, it may have disappeared.

When Li Zhen entered, he happened to see the knife and pen officer summarizing the course of the operation, and in the list of physical evidence, there was an item listed: "Magic Finger Wooden ......"

Li Zhen was excited, and almost immediately concluded that this was what he was looking for.

"Magic Finger Wood...... It's really rough and direct, so this thing is called Magic Finger Wood?"

"But it's not enough to just know the name, we have to find a way to get it. ”

Of course, it is not easy for Li Zhen to do this kind of thing on his own, but if there is a suitable reason for the ancestor to speak, he wants to take it from the Hears, and even keeps cutting off his beard in the future, it is just a matter of one sentence.

......

April 16 was the day after the Hearsia Division's gains.

In the drunken fairy building, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and the wine is fragrant.

Li Zhen, who had not been out for a long time, finally left the mansion and came here to accept the banquet of the officials of the Incense Bureau.

Pei Shilang attached great importance to this invitation, and had already chartered the best elegant hall in this restaurant in advance, and even emptied the entire floor, just to entertain Li Zhen alone.

During the banquet, there are delicacies, beauties to accompany them, and flattery from the top and bottom of the incense bureau.

They are all eager to build a good relationship with Li Zhen, so as to get more support from the Xianmen.

Li Zhen casually played with a string of fragrant wood bracelets, in front of which was a delicately arranged stage, and there were bright lights and candles in the lotus platform, like a galaxy in the sky.

The man-made smoke filled the air, as if a hazy veil had shrouded the entire hall, and the graceful beauties were dancing to the music, their heads slightly raised, revealing their gorgeous faces.

They were all wearing Luo shirts as thin as cicada wings, twisting their bodies and twisting their heels, and their jade skin seemed to be fragrant and fragrant, as if they were about to reveal red yarn.

The poem says: The thin wrist cage with silk sleeves is warm and jade, the wine face is slightly red, the waist is warm and green, and the eyes are full of autumn water and star pupils.

Qu turned around, Ying Ying bowed, and his eyes were still intriguing.

"Good!" Li Zhen praised with a smile.

The officials of the Incense Affairs Bureau responded one after another, and they also admired it.

Pei Shilang said: "Master Ma, these beauties are all new dancers in Hongying Building, I don't know if they can still get into your eyes?"

Li Zhen shook his head and sighed with a smile: "You, you have said that you don't have to break the bank, and you still engage in these flowers." ”

Pei Shilang smirked in a demented manner, and an official in the bureau explained for him: "Master Ma, it took a lot of effort for our Lord Pei to find out that there is such a group of newcomers in Hongying Building, I believe that the name of this building, you have also heard of it." ”

Li Zhen nodded, the name of Hongying Building, of course he had heard of it.

He beckoned and said to the Meiji, "You're all coming. ”

As she said, she climbed the steps and stood in a row near the wine table.

Li Zhen got up and walked around with his hands behind his back, but felt a burst of smell hit his nose.

This is far less pure than when the soul is out of the body, but after a while, it still focuses and succeeds in manifesting the fragrance.

Li Zhen seemed to walk around casually, and he smelled a faint commotion on the first few bewitching Meiji, which was similar to the strange smell of musk and fox odor mixed together.

According to his experience, anyone who has this taste still has a bit of beauty, but he doesn't like it in temperament, and he is the type of fox.

It seems that no matter how famous he is, he is just a vulgar fan, and Li Zhen was suddenly interested.

So he waved his hand and said, "You are dancing and having fun, you should be rewarded." ”

The entourage slave beckoned, asked the waiter to bring a small plate of golden melon seeds, and said arrogantly: "One person grabs a handful, and you haven't thanked the horse master for his grace?"

The beauties said happily: "Thank you for the grace of the horse master." ”

Li Zhen saw that there was still a surplus in the plate, and said: "The musicians have also worked hard, they should all be rewarded, and the rest should be divided equally according to the head." ”

After everyone thanked him and retired, Pei Shilang understood that Li Zhen was not reserved, but really had no interest in these Meiji.

Although he saved a lot of expenses, he couldn't be happy for half a minute, and his expression couldn't help but be a little melancholy.

In the heart of the blessing, Pei Shilang's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he took the initiative to say: "By the way, Master Horse, I have already marked the book "Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations" mentioned a while ago, and I have also collected relevant classics, travelogues, and essays. ”

"Although it is only a preliminary draft, it can barely be seen, and after a while, there will be a more refined and refined version. ”

He beckoned, took a few hardcover books that looked good from the side of him, and held them in front of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen looked at it and said to him with a smile: "You are talented and diligent, I will speak for you in front of the ancestor." ”

Pei Shilang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Master Horse......"

Li Zhen waved his hand: "I will accept this gift." ”

It's all in plain sight.

Coming out of the drunken immortal building, Li Zhen ordered to go home, and couldn't wait to read the fruits of Pei Shilang's labor in the carriage.

It can be seen that this person has real talent and learning, and has actually produced the reference index that Li Zhen wants according to the clues of origin, grade, and value, and the quality even far exceeds expectations.

"The Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations" is a complete series of books, with about 32 books and a length of more than 10,000 words.

Most of them are about the customs of various countries, and it is difficult and laborious to extract information about spices from them.

But with the help of a group of experts in the Incense Affairs Bureau, Pei Shilang drafted a draft in just a few days.

This also has to do with the fact that he is well-read and has read this book before.

It is absolutely impossible to do this to this extent.

"This is a talent, it seems that I want to write a book in the future, I can ask him for help. ”

Although the immortal masters don't care about ordinary incense, Li Zhen, as an incense master, still knows a lot of things about ordinary incense.

It is a pursuit and a mission to continue learning for the sake of the saints.

It's impossible to completely abandon it because it's "useless", right?

According to the index and flipping through the books in his hand, Li Zheng found that Pei Shilang had already asked someone to edit and rebook the relevant pages to make a simplified version that was convenient for reference, and he could easily find out the production of various continents according to the regional entries.

Soon after, Li Zhen found a record of the magic finger wood in the Yuanzhou book, which turned out to be produced in Yuanzhou, not Changzhou, as originally thought.

"There are wood and yellow branches, like magic fingers, and there is fragrance in cutting them, which can nourish the yin soul ......"

Li Zhen whispered to himself: "There is fragrance in the chop, and it can nourish the yin soul......"

It turns out that the predecessors have long known the function of this thing, but they have not studied it further.

Li Zhen took a look at other records about this object: "This is really only a kind of spiritual material that does not enter the stream, but it is not produced in the Xuanzhou region, and the local monks rarely use it, and few people know about it." ”

"There needs to be enough reasons for the Ancestor and the Tianyun Sect to value this thing, but not to expose my details. ”

After going back, Li Zhen personally came to Hanxiang Pavilion with the book, sat down at the table, and wrote a letter.

There were some things that he couldn't explain in a few words, so he decided to write a long letter explaining the benefits of various spiritual treasures for the production of spiritual incense.

A long time ago, Li Zhen asked the ancestor for some spiritual materials to study, and he had swallowed a few strange flowers and plants, but there were no satisfactory results.

However, Li Zhen believes that if this soul rejuvenation incense can really make miraculous achievements, it will not be difficult to ask for some spiritual materials to conduct research.

Perhaps among the treasures of heaven and earth, there is an existence that is more conducive to eating incense and refining souls than the magic finger wood.

Thinking of the soul rejuvenation incense, Li Zhen couldn't help but have some expectations, it stands to reason that it has been handed in for half a month, and if a major monk has used it, there should be feedback results.

It was also time to pay the prescribed letter Lingxiang, and after he finished writing the letter, he summoned Huang Yunzhen.

Huang Yunzhen quickly replied: "Li Zhen, I also have something to look for you, just when you came to contact, just make it clear." ”

Li Zhen said: "Ancestor, please speak." ”

Huang Yunzhen said: "After this time, you don't have to pay tribute to the spiritual incense, leave it to others to do." ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Huang Yunzhen said: "Don't worry, this is just because the soul rejuvenation incense is of great use to the out-of-body yin god, and the sect hopes that you will spend more attention on it, and in the future, you can pay a hundred soul-returning incense every month, and the treatment will only go up and not down." ”

Li Zhen suddenly realized, but immediately he was happy.

The great cultivators of the Tianyun Sect are still quite generous towards useful people, since it is said that it is beneficial to the Yuanying cultivators, then this arrangement is really just an adjustment.

They hope that someone else will take over the production and manufacturing of the spirit incense, so that Li Zhen can invest in the soul rejuvenation incense with greater returns.

Huang Yun Zhenren quickly said: "In view of your meritorious contribution to the soul returning incense, the sect has decided to give you a special self-defense treasure, if there is anything else you want, you can just open your mouth and try to satisfy you on the premise of not breaking the rules." ”

And there's a reward? It's a great opportunity.

A thought flashed through Li Zhen's heart, and he said, "Please go to the sect on my behalf and increase the support for those research matters mentioned earlier." ”
