Chapter 276 Give me a Talisman
Chapter 276 Give me a Talisman
"Huang'er, during the six months you were away, Minbao tried its best to find your poems."
Shen Huaiyue described the situation at that time and said, "In the end, even the two poems that His Majesty had kept privately were contributed. Without your poem, the Investiture of the Gods was discontinued. Although there were other works later, they were not as good as yours. As a result, no one had the heart to read the Minbao. You'd better write more than a hundred poems at a time."
"More than a hundred poems..." You Huang laughed uncontrollably, "I am a human, not a god, how can I have so many poems?"
"You went to Guangrun Mansion this time, why don't you write a few poems or lyrics for it?" Fang Mo suggested immediately. Youhuang thought for a while and said, "Wait until the water of Runyue returns to Fuguang, then write poems and fu for it. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable praising other people's places."
You Huang didn't want to take up everyone's time, so he said, "Teacher, why don't you check everyone's homework first? Maybe by the time you're done checking, the students will have already come up with a new lyric."
"I was so busy talking about poetry that I almost forgot about the main business."
Fang Mo immediately looked at Shen Huaiyue's paintings, and gave the same evaluation as Youhuang.
While Fang Mo was looking at Lin Xiya's paintings, Shen Huaiyue turned around and made a face at Youhuang, then lowered his head to study his own paintings, and occasionally looked at the sketches drawn by Youhuang.
Comparing the two, he could find out the problem. Suddenly he turned around and asked, "I know your old lady taught you to read, but who taught you to paint? Without years of practice, it is impossible to be so lifelike with just a few strokes."
"I practiced by drawing talismans."
Youhuang answered without hesitation.
Shen Huaiyue sneered and said, "Don't try to fool me. Just forget it."
"How could I fool you?" You Huang explained immediately, "Drawing talismans also requires steady hands. You must know that if you are not careful, not only will you waste a piece of talisman paper, but it may also change the effect of the talisman. When the old Taoist nun was here, I practiced hundreds of times every day."
"Wouldn't that cost a lot of paper?"
"Practice on the ground."
Shen Huaiyue was choked, and suddenly remembered that Youhuang lived in the slums and had no paper for her to waste.
Time always passed extra quickly in painting class. You Huang quickly remembered the main points of Fang Mo's lectures because his description of the layout was more detailed, while hers was just the basics.
Fang Mo was very sensitive to time. When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, he left the homework for this class: choose a real scene in Tiandu and draw it using the newly learned layout knowledge.
After lunch, Youhuang returned to the classroom and saw Captain Lin sitting in his seat.
"Captain Lin..." You Huang walked over in surprise and asked, "Did you come to see me on purpose?"
"Help me see what's different about these furs."
Captain Lin took out a small cloth bag and opened it, saying, "These are the fox furs collected from the scene of Chen Jinnan's death."
You Huang sat down and said, "You should ask Xiang Yu'er for this kind of thing. She is an expert in this area. Even if you let me see it, I can only tell you that there is no hair of our Daji among these hairs."
"I want to ask you if you can tell from the fur whether it was done by a monster."
Captain Lin replied unhappily. You Huang leaned over to take a sniff and said, "There is indeed some demonic energy left on the fur, but it's not very powerful."
"How can a person with low Taoism skills kill people?" Captain Lin asked in confusion. You Huang chuckled and said, "The lower the Taoism skills, the more likely they are to kill people. A demon with high Taoism skills would not do such a thing. And looking at the different colors of its fur, it seems to be a mixed-haired fox of low bloodline in the fox clan. A demon with noble bloodline would not appear in the human world."
"Why?"
Captain Lin asked in confusion.
You Huang said calmly: "The turbid air in the world is heavy, it will affect their practice, unless..."
"Unless what?" Captain Lin asked immediately. You Huang thought for a moment and said, "Like Daji, she made a big mistake and was expelled from the demon world, so she ended up in the human world."
"In short, the demons won't leave the demon world easily..." You Huang suddenly thought of something, and stepped forward again to smell it and said, "Smell the smell on the fur, isn't it very similar to the unique incense of a certain place?"
Captain Lin immediately picked up the cloth bag and smelled it, and said in surprise, "It's the smell of the incense from Furong Chunnuan Tower."
Furong Chunnuanlou is the most expensive place in Tiandu. The girls there are all top beauties from all over the country. It is a gentle place where men linger.
"Fox demons love to absorb men's energy to cultivate, so living in places of entertainment is the best choice." You Huang said indifferently, "There are rumors that Chen Jinnan is a lecherous person and stays in Furong Chunnuan Tower almost every night. Captain Lin can go and ask around."
"I am planning to go, but..." Captain Lin hesitated and said, "We are facing a monster. You can give him a talisman."
"So this is your real purpose." You Huang said sarcastically, "I was wondering, with your dog nose, how could you not smell the incense of Furong Chunnuan Tower? You haven't solved the case yet, could it be that you are waiting for my talisman?"
"It's a monster after all. What if it's a monster den..." Captain Lin said with a flattering smile, "You know how mere mortals like us can defeat monsters."
"You can ask Tianji Pavilion for help." When mentioning evil things, Youhuang thought of Tianji Pavilion first.
"I can't even enter Nanshi now, how can I ask Tianji Pavilion for help?" There was some indignation in Captain Lin's tone, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Why, is there anyone in Tiandu who dares to stop you?" You Huang couldn't help teasing, and suddenly leaned closer and said: "Or are you afraid that others will take your credit and rush to Furong Chunnuan Tower to catch the fox demon first, so you dare not tell the captain of the police in Nancheng the truth."
"This captain has not..."
"Are you stupid?"
You Huang interrupted Captain Lin and said nonchalantly, "For something this dangerous, someone else should take the lead."
Captain Lin was stunned for a few seconds, then said, "I'm not trying to steal the credit. I'm just afraid they'll pin the blame on you. Who told you to keep a lousy fox?"
"What a lousy fox! Our Daji is a spirit fox with eight hundred years of cultivation." You Huang immediately defended Daji, "Once the evil spirit on her body is washed away, she can practice Taoism and become an immortal in the future. Maybe I will have to rely on her in the future."
"Demons are evil creatures, so..." You Huang took out five talismans and said, "The evil-killing talisman is specially used to restrain monsters. If you can trick a monster into drinking the talisman water, the monster will immediately reveal its true form and temporarily lose its magic power. You can kill it by burning it with fire."
"How do we trick the monster into drinking it?" Captain Lin asked in a low voice after taking the talisman.
"First you have to confirm the target. Otherwise, there are so many girls in the building, you can't let all of them drink the magic water."
"How do we confirm this?" Captain Lin asked unhappily, "Can anyone smell it and see if it has body odor?"
You Huang thought about it carefully and said, "Chen Jinnan likes to have sex outdoors. If you find out which girls were not in the building on the day of the incident, it will narrow the scope of the investigation."
"Fighting in the wild..." Captain Lin looked at You Huang meaningfully and said, "You can think of such a word."
