Chapter 177: Washing the soul, taking advantage of the weird things! 【24, please subscribe】
At Wei Han's strong request
Li Song, the head of the Soul Washing Department, officially began training him.
He first registered and took out a black box from the hall next to him, then brought the box into a stone chamber. After closing the stone door, he began to introduce: "The work of us soul washers is actually very simple. We receive three boxes every day and clean the items inside the boxes!"
"These boxes are all covered with talisman paper to suppress evil spirits. They are filled with objects that have been contaminated in strange events. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to the leakage of evil spirits. Therefore, you must be careful when moving them!"
"Close the door before entering the stone chamber, light the evil-repelling candle, and make sure the candle will not go out before you can remove the talisman paper on the box. Do you understand?"
Li Song introduced slowly and hoarsely.
Wei Han looked at the small stone chamber with interest.
It is only about seven or eight square meters in size, and is made of a special stone from top to bottom. In addition to an altar in the corner with two red candles burning, there is only a large vat filled with green liquid at the innermost end.
He didn't know what these were for the time being!
However, the talisman paper with ghostly scribbles on the big box caught his attention.
【bite! A special talisman was detected - the evil talisman of the small town. Should it be included? 】
One day a system prompt flashed!
Wei Han immediately became interested.
"A small town of evil talismans? Could it be that the evil suppression department also has immortal talismans? It should be the case, otherwise how dare they provoke the weird?"
Wei Han was secretly surprised and decisively threw it to the idle position!
Although I don’t know how powerful it is, it is definitely a good thing that can suppress weirdness. What if I can draw it myself in the future? Wouldn’t that be a big profit?
After all, at the last auction, a talisman to ward off evil spirits was sold for over a million taels. Even if this small town talisman is not as good as the talisman, it should at least be a good thing, right?
“Big profit!”
Wei Han was in a good mood.
Li Song continued to explain: "These talisman papers are very precious. They are said to be made from the skin of some special monsters. Be careful not to damage them when you peel them off. You have to use them repeatedly afterwards. Also, remember, once the candle goes out, you must run away quickly. If there is anything strange, the secret guards will take over and deal with it. Don't try to be brave and seek death."
"The water tank contains the spirit-cleansing water specially formulated by the experts in the company. It can clean all strange pollutants. You must grab the object with your own hands and put it into the water tank. You must not let go of it during the process. Always remember to mobilize your own qi and blood to resist strange pollution. Do you understand?"
After that, Li Song began to demonstrate!
He opened the box carefully.
There was a blood-stained dagger, a jade paperweight, and a mask inside. They all exuded a thick black aura, as if there were living creatures attached to them, which was creepy to look at.
This was the first time that Wei Han faced objects contaminated by the weird. It was said that if these objects were left unattended, there was an 80% chance that they would become weird again. That was why the special department of the Soul Cleansing Department of the Evil Suppression Bureau existed.
Li Song glanced at the candle cautiously!
Seeing that they were swaying but still not extinguished, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then gathered his energy and grabbed the first dagger.
“Buzz!”
The black energy on the dagger rushed towards Li Song's arm like crazy.
But his qi and blood blocked it so tightly that it could not invade.
“Get lost!”
Li Song growled angrily.
He grabbed the dagger and thrust it directly into the water tank.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
A sound like that of a soldering iron being quenched was heard.
The black gas in the dagger rolled and tumbled, as if it was hurt by the green liquid in the water tank, and it continued to struggle.
Li Song gritted his teeth and said nothing, trying his best to persevere!
"Remember, don't let go!" Li Song took the opportunity to instruct: "Once you let go, the black energy's counterattack force will surge ten or a hundred times in an instant. Many people died at this step. If you don't want to die, remember this firmly."
"Well, thanks for the advice!"
Wei Han nodded gratefully and continued to watch.
After the dagger had been soaked in the water tank for a stick of incense, the black air finally dissipated completely, and it returned to its original appearance.
“Hoo! Hoo!”
Li Song was breathing heavily.
His back was already soaked with sweat, and it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy just now, as if he had fought a evenly matched battle.
"See? It's so laborious to cleanse the soul, and it's easy to be transformed into a ghost by the evil spirit. People here either die from strange possession or die young. Few can live for more than three to five years!"
"Although you are young and strong now, but if you keep going like this, you will soon be the same as us!"
"If you don't want to die too soon, you can use your merits to exchange for some elixirs in the treasury. As long as you have enough merits, you can exchange them for silver or treasures!"
Li Song silently imparted his experience.
After hearing this, Wei Han expressed his gratitude again: "I've made note of this. Thank you, Brother Li, for sharing your experience. If you have time, I'll treat you to a drink."
“Hahaha, it’s good that you’re thoughtful!” Li Song laughed heartily, and his mood improved a little: “Try to clean the next two filthy things and see how good you are. You shouldn’t make mistakes with such a simple process!”
"OK!"
Wei Han raised his hand and grabbed the jade paperweight!
Seeing the black gas constantly drilling into his body, he pretended to be trying his best to mobilize his energy and blood to fight against it, and then stuffed it into the water tank to wash it.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
There was another burst of black mist, and the jade paperweight struggled madly like a living thing.
If an ordinary person were here, he would not be able to catch it.
But Wei Han's hand held it tightly like an iron clamp. No matter how it struggled, it was helpless and could only silently accept the feeling of being cleansed.
The black air faded away, and the jade paperweight returned to its original appearance!
A system prompt sounded in Wei Han's mind.
【bite! Congratulations to the master for killing the weak and strange ghost, your merit +7! 】
"Oh? These are residual spirits? They shouldn't be truly strange. No wonder they need to be cleansed! But it's a good thing to be able to gain merit."
Wei Han was in a good mood and grabbed another piece of contamination and cleaned it as usual.
This cleaning method is very simple and crude, and anyone can learn it with a little training. However, it consumes too much energy on the body and can easily lead to loss of qi and blood and the entry of evil spirits into the body. No wonder outsiders avoid it like the plague.
"Okay! You can go to the warehouse to get the boxes yourself from now on." Li Song said with satisfaction: "Three boxes a day, don't try to be brave!"
"Only three boxes?" Wei Han was not satisfied: "Can I get more? I want to make more money!"
"You young man are really not afraid of death, so what!" Li Song said helplessly: "Three boxes is the minimum limit, there is no upper limit at present. If you want to get more, it's fine, it's up to you!"
"Okay!"
Wei Han immediately burst into laughter when he heard that!
Three boxes? Who are you looking down on!
With my immortal physique, why should I be afraid of losing my energy and blood?
If he doesn't get rid of the weird wool, he will be embarrassed to say that he is immortal!
