Chapter 3: Add one to your assistant and open your first order
Jiang Chu went out after dinner.
The Fu family is a military officer family, so naturally they live in a military compound in Kyoto.
There is a pond next to the compound. It is summer now and the lotus flowers are in full bloom. You can smell the fragrance while walking on the road.
Jiang Chu's attention was drawn to a stone beside the pond. The blood stains on it were left by the original owner yesterday.
Apart from the bloodstains, there was still a faint spiritual power remaining around the stone.
Only then did Jiang Chu notice that there was not a single mosquito in the pond, but the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully.
There happened to be a locust tree nearby. Jiang Chu jumped lightly and landed on the branch of the locust tree, looking down from above.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chu's eyes widened.
The lotus flowers formed into the Bagua diagram and became the core of the formation, while the surrounding rocks formed the framework of the formation.
Jiang Chu quickly understood the formation: "The rocks and flowing water are the foundation, and the Yi wood spirit is the eye. This person must be planning to set up the Seven-Nine Fortune Transfer Formation."
The luck-changing array, as the name suggests, is an array that changes luck. All arrays related to luck are against the will of heaven, so they need to be activated by a powerful spirit.
This formation had been lost for hundreds of years, and Jiang Chu only discovered it by chance while he was hunting down an evil cultivator.
Fortunately, this formation has not yet taken shape, otherwise everyone in this compound would have died if they did not have good luck.
Jiang Chu jumped down from the tree and began to observe the lotus flowers closely.
In Jiang Chu's eyes, the lotus exudes a rich and pure aura in the sunlight.
The lotus, which can be called the spirit of Yi wood, is naturally no ordinary thing.
This formation is so sinister, of course she has to confiscate all the tools used in the crime!
First, cut off all contact between this pond and the outside world, otherwise it would be bad to alert the enemy. She wants to give the person behind the scenes a surprise!
Jiang Chu tied the skirt again, pulled up the sleeves and began to peel the lotus.
As soon as her hand touched the lotus, the water flow became faster.
Jiang Chu curled his lips and smiled: "I want to see what tricks you have."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of black gas with red tints slowly emerged from the water.
Jiang Chu sneered, "I originally thought that the guardian spirit used by someone who could set up a formation of this level would be someone as accomplished as the Willow Immortal or White Immortal, or at least a thousand-year-old ghost. But this is just a hundred-year-old evil spirit?"
The black gas slowly transformed into a female ghost with disheveled hair and red clothes. Jiang Chu's provocation completely angered the female ghost.
The female ghost flew towards Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu slowly drew a white talisman in the air with his fingers, and the moment it was completed, it quickly flew into the female ghost's body.
The female ghost maintained a ferocious expression, her dark eyes rolling around, and black energy surged around her. Jiang Chu slapped her on the head again: "If you release black energy again, I will make your soul fly away."
As he spoke, a golden soul-destroying talisman condensed at his fingertips.
The female ghost felt the terrifying pressure from the talisman, and her eyes became clear with fear. She nodded to Jiang Chu hurriedly.
Jiang Chu pointed his fingertips at the ghost girl's eyebrows.
There was a strong wind blowing all around, and the black energy on the female ghost faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A strange ghostly aura suddenly flew towards Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu grabbed it and said, "This ghost energy actually has its own consciousness?"
The spiritual power wrapped it tightly, and Jiang Chu drew a few runes and injected them into it before it dissipated.
At the moment it dissipated, Jiang Chu felt a familiar breath, but before she could think about it carefully, she could no longer figure it out.
At this time, the female ghost's red dress turned into a tattered and dirty white cheongsam, and it seemed that she must have been a lady from a wealthy family in her previous life.
Seeing that the purification was almost complete, Jiang Chu dispersed the runes and asked, "Who are you?"
The ghost girl got rid of her ghost aura and temporarily regained some consciousness. She kept shaking her head. Seeing that Jiang Chu couldn't understand what she meant, she opened her mouth wide and said, "Ah - Ah -"
Jiang Chu saw that the ghost girl's bloody mouth was devoid of tongue. This was the wound caused by someone pulling out her tongue by the roots when she was alive.
Jiang Chu drew a talisman on the female ghost's body.
The golden light of the talisman enveloped the female ghost, and Jiang Chu heard a hoarse female voice: "Master, I don't remember anything."
Jiang Chu met the ghost's cautious gaze. She didn't get angry, but said, "You are now a fierce ghost, carrying several lives on your shoulders. You can no longer reincarnate, and your soul will only be scattered."
The ghost girl's expression fell.
"But..." Jiang Chu changed the subject, "If you are willing to stay with me, after you have redeemed your sins, you can go to the underworld and become a ghost messenger."
"What's your choice?"
When the female ghost heard that she could survive, she was so excited that she was covered in black energy: "I am willing to follow the master!"
Jiang Chu: "What's your name?"
The ghost girl shook her head: "I don't remember."
Jiang Chu glanced at the lotus beside him and said, "Then I'll call you Xiaohe."
Jiang Chu left a talisman in Xiao He's body to suppress the evil spirit and prevent Xiao He from losing control. Then he let her continue to stay in the pond and observe whether there were any suspicious people every day.
After arranging Xiao He, Jiang Chu continued to pick flowers.
There was a flower here and a flower there. If the flowers were too far away, she would use her spiritual energy to float on the water and walk to the center of the water to pick them.
Xiao He was standing next to her, looking at her with her chin in her hand.
Soon all the lotus flowers were in Jiang Chu's pocket. Jiang Chu used the magic in his sleeve to collect the flowers and left one for Xiao He: "Carry this flower with you. It can divert the evil spirit from your body."
Xiao He accepted it obediently.
Jiang Chu's strength has only recovered a little now. If she encounters those Taoists, although she can use her spiritual power to deal with them, she can't keep running back and forth.
The yellow talisman is particularly important now, but she has no money!
These days of poverty.
Finally, Jiang Chu went to the pond and found fifty pebbles of similar size, and set them up in a formation to tell fortunes.
The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine.
People from the Xuanmen cannot count themselves as such. Although Jiang Chu is an unexpected person and can be counted, a formation still needs to be set up.
After a while, Jiang Chu figured out that wealth was in the southwest.
He collected the pebbles and wrote amulets on a few of them using his spiritual power.
A sleight of hand was set up to confuse the people behind the scenes.
As soon as the isolation formation was lifted, the pop music from the 1980s in the outside world reached Jiang Chu's ears.
Jiang Chu used the pond as a reference and walked towards the southwest.
After walking for a while, Jiang Chu saw an old man in a red Zhongshan suit standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.
Jiang Chu twitched his knuckles slightly, figuring that this was the person she was looking for. He walked forward and got straight to the point: "Excuse me, have you encountered any supernatural events?"
Mu Jianguo looked up in surprise, thinking he had met a master. However, he saw that it was just a little girl whose hair had not even grown out. His expression became dejected again: "At your age, don't come out to pretend to be a master and cheat people."
Jiang Chu's appearance was indeed unconvincing, so she slowly spoke: "Mu Jianguo, born in 1945, has two sons and one daughter."
Mu Jianguo: "These things are not secrets, you can find out by just asking around."
Jiang Chu smiled mysteriously: "Two days ago, my little daughter's temperament suddenly changed drastically. You found her eating raw meat from the refrigerator in the middle of the night."
"I guess you've asked many masters to perform rituals during this period, but to no avail."
Mu Jianguo was shocked. They had kept this matter a secret because it involved family traditions.
Mu Jianguo didn't care whether the news leaked or she was really a Taoist priest.
There is no other way now anyway.
Mu Jianguo led the way for Jiang Chu: "Master, please come with me."
