Chapter 37: Selecting Spirits from Ashes

"What do you mean? It's not a good thing."

Zhang Baoshan frowned and subconsciously reached out to touch the cigarettes. He took out a pack and took a look at it. He put it back and exchanged another pack. He gave me one and said with a dry smile: "I couldn't hold it back. I took three of them in one morning." It’s all gone. By the way, if you still have any, give me two more.”

I was a little surprised, "Captain Zhang, you are very generous. Are the two cigarettes scattered now?"

Zhang Baoshan lit the cigarette and said helplessly: "Where is it? I took it back and hid it in the drawer of my desk. But in the afternoon, Lao Bao went to the team, and I was short of money, so I gave him one. As soon as he smoked it, it was your cigarette, and he asked me to ask for it immediately. I couldn't give him another cigarette when he asked me to ask for a cigarette, so I opened the drawer and wanted to give him a whole pack, but the old man asked me for it. The kid snatched one away when he came up! I only have half of one left on hand now. I don’t have enough food in stock and I’m feeling panicked.”

I said: "Stop smoking for now. Once these things are resolved, I will buy medicinal materials and make some for you. But you have to smoke."

"No problem, I respect you Yellow Crane Tower, and I have married half of the family. A while ago, Lao Huang's son from the spice factory got into a fight with someone in the street, and he got into it. He and I are classmates, so he asked me to help him to get him out, and that's it. I thanked me for a few white-shelled Yellow Crane Towers, but I have never been willing to smoke them, so I brought them all for you to use. This time I hid them all at home, so I took a pack with me to see who could snatch them from me. Come on, tell me. Let’s get down to business, what does this selection of ashes mean?”

"You know that bone marrow transplantation to treat leukemia requires a match. This selection of ashes is similar to that. If someone wants to find a child who is worthy of the owner of the ashes, he will inject the ashes under the child's feet and use it. Curse, at the age of soul selection, the child will suddenly have a fever. After nine days of continuous fever, the child who is worthy will absorb the ashes and form a special mark in the center of the forehead. At that time, they will take the child with the mark. Go, do that.”

"What are you taking me for?"

"This has so many uses, I didn't know."

"Give me a few examples."

"It may be to find reincarnated soul boys like lamas and bring them back to teach them; it may be to perform sacrifices and bring them back as sacrifices; it may be to refine children's elixirs to treat congenital defects; it may be to serve as a scapegoat for the family of the owner of the ashes. ; It’s also possible... Well, that’s probably what happened to Da Qi.”

At this point, I paused and swallowed the one that was on my lips.

"You're setting up such a big battle just to find a kid to kidnap?"

"It's not just one child, you may be looking for several or even a dozen. The selection of ashes is not 100% accurate. If you choose, you have to take it back and raise it for a year, and then select again to make the final decision."

"What will happen to the children who are not chosen?"

"A small number of people will not survive it, most of them will burn out their brains, and only a lucky few will be safe and sound."

"What the hell, how lawless! Did those two boys come to threaten you last night and prevent you from treating those children? You have treated so many people today, and you will definitely come back tonight, right? I will send someone over right away. Take them back and give them a good trial."

"You can't show up about this matter. Wang Laoguan will show up at any time, and he may have been secretly observing the situation now. If you show up because of this matter and scare away Wang Laoguan, you won't be able to catch him again in the future. "

I took out the recorded medical records and handed them to Zhang Baoshan.

"This is the situation of the children I recorded. These children were all born three or four years ago, and their birthdays are concentrated between July and September, which shows that birthdays are the basic selection criteria. To use ashes to infuse spirits, it must be when the children are just born. , just inject the ashes into it, and the attack will not occur until the age of three or four. This cannot be done without the help of people in the hospital. Captain Zhang, you can start from the hospital where these children were born. I will deal with it myself. That’s it.”

Zhang Baoshan took the record and put it away, and said: "I will arrange for people to check it first. But the police force is too tight now, and this matter has no name or status. I can't spare too many people to handle it. I'm afraid it will happen soon." Nothing could be found."

I said, "It doesn't matter. We can always find signs by working on both sides. If they come tonight, I can get some clues."

"Then I'm leaving. You should rest early. If you can't handle it, don't hold on. Call for support. Your life is the most important thing."

"I got it. By the way, Captain Zhang, don't come here again before Wang Laoguan shows up. Charlatans don't care about disguises. As long as they see you once, no matter how you dress up, you can't deceive them."

"Is it so powerful? Then I won't come over. By the way, do you want to buy a mobile phone? You don't have a phone BP machine. It's very inconvenient to call you if I need anything."

"Let's talk about it later."

After seeing off Zhang Baoshan, I returned to the back room of the consulting room. I put all the ashes in the small money cups into a cup, burned the Zhang Fu and mixed it with the ashes. Then I took a small faceless puppet from my luggage bag and put it on the table. Then pour it over a small fire to soak it, then take a talisman and seal it on the mouth of the cup. Finally, sprinkle the talisman with incense ash and carefully put it into the corner of the cupboard.

Since ashes are used to select spirits, the ashes are the key to contacting the victim.

All battles are actually a grinding effort.

You have to be prepared from now on.

After disposing of the ashes, I will do evening classes as usual.

It’s just that the nearly 200 words I wrote tonight were out of line with normal standards.

The ashes selection still affected my state of mind.

The last thing I swallowed might be life-threatening!

My Qi nourishing skills are still not good enough.

Sister Miao is right.

I still need more training.

I didn't go to bed that night. After turning off the lights, I sat on the sofa in the consulting room fully clothed and meditated.

The other party will definitely come tonight.

Every day I delay, more children will be cured by me, and the impact on their soul selection will be greater.

Since I wasn't intimidated, I had to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

The man came around one o'clock in the evening.

The messy footsteps rushed into the yard without any cover. They were obviously not afraid of being known by me, and they might even be intending to alarm me.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, there were at least twenty people coming from the other party.

This is not a way to fight.

Instead, prepare to use force to deal with me.

This Jincheng charlatan's thinking is really different from mine.

If it were me, I would definitely resolve it through a battle of wits.

It is more secretive, has less influence, and will not be involved in the major matter of soul selection.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, I stood up and opened the door to the consulting room.

There were two loud bangs.

Two guys in cotton coats and masks covered their heads and backed away.

In the hanging hand, a long strip of cold light flashed.
