"Human skin? Buying life?" Zhang Baoshan quickly swallowed all the food and wine in his mouth, took out a dirty notebook and pen, and bit off the cap of the pen. "Tell me more about it. I will report to Lao Bao later."
Lao Cao said: "You guys chat, I'm going to go to the village. A guy from the Northwest Han Dynasty came here the day before yesterday. It doesn't look like a good route. I'll take a look."
The Northwestern wolf and the Siberian tiger are both famous raptors crossing the river. If one of them cannot be kept track of, a big crime may occur.
But this is not the real reason for Lao Cao to leave.
He just avoids it.
In front of Zhang Baoshan, Lao Cao was just an old film policeman with a gourd's mouth. He was not an old man who recognized the true Buddha at a glance.
I flicked the human skin money in the bullet bag and said, "This is a golden tool in the circle of magicians. There are no taboos. You can buy anything except spells and spring scriptures. The reason why it is a golden tool is that it can buy lives." This thing appeared in the Song Dynasty. It was originally made from human scalps sacrificed to ghosts. Wearing it close to the body means that you can get the protection and magic power of the ghosts and gods sacrificed. Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, it was combined with the corpse magic of Lamaism and various local sacrifices. The combination of ghost customs has transformed into the so-called ghost money, which can be used to buy lives from other ghosts who are asking for their lives. As long as a person lives, alcohol, sex, wealth and wealth are all external things. It is still this life at all. Everything has something to do with life. Everything is valuable and can be used to replace anything."
Zhang Baoshan wrote it down carefully, then raised his head and asked: "Can this thing really buy your life?"
I laughed and said, "Does Captain Zhang believe in feudal superstition?"
Zhang Baoshan hesitated for a moment, looked at the door again, and then lowered his voice and said: "You also said that the matter of refining the Shengdan is false, but there is indeed something fishy about the Lu family. We have transferred the information of several key members of the Lu family. According to medical records, their family did inherit congenital heart disease. Lu Lianpao even received a critical illness notice a few years ago and almost died in the hospital. Several people in the family have also received long-term related treatment. But from nine years ago Since then, their family has stopped going to the hospital for examination and treatment, and everyone is living well, with no signs of illness at all."
I looked at Zhang Baoshan and said seriously: "I treat outsider diseases, and I also talk about ghosts and gods, but our profession is about accumulating blessings for living people, a truly effective life-saving method, and we never have to use these bloody and fancy methods. These things may seem effective and sound reasonable, but in fact they are all specially refined for people's hearts. If you really believe them, you will fall into it and find it difficult to extricate yourself. Those living gods who are having fun now are even the top ones. Even the big shots in the sky can bluff them, but they have only scratched the surface. From ancient times to the present, there have always been people who have fallen into studying madness."
Zhang Baoshan laughed, "I'm just curious. I'm just asking, why are you so serious? Is it difficult for me to study such heretical stuff?"
"Don't be curious about this thing, as it will cause endless trouble."
I picked up a piece of mutton, signaled to him, threw it into the wine glass in front of him, flicked the wall of the glass, and the wine in the glass ignited a faint flame.
The next moment, a small white flower bloomed from the mutton and floated onto the wine flame.
The air is filled with refreshing fragrance.
Zhang Baoshan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
I picked up the flower from the wine flame and handed it to Zhang Baoshan, "If I told you that this flower could cure the pain in your lower back, would you eat it?"
Zhang Baoshan was startled, and then asked: "How did you know that my lower back was hurting?"
"I not only know that you have pain in your lower back, but I also know that you dare not lie flat every night when you go to bed. When you wake up in the morning, your shoulders are numb and you feel dizzy. When you go to the hospital for a checkup, you can't find anything wrong. They can only prescribe some blood-activating and analgesic drugs." The medicine is here to help. I can tell you this directly without feeling the pulse or asking for a diagnosis, and then tell you, this flower can cure it, do you want to eat it?"
"Then I have to give it a try. I went to several hospitals and couldn't get it right. It's so uncomfortable. Even if the doctor is trying to make a living, I have to give it a try."
"Then you eat it."
"It's really delicious!" Zhang Baoshan was a little confused, but he still stuffed the flower into his mouth and ate it.
After eating, he showed a surprised expression, "Fuck, it doesn't hurt anymore. Mr. Zhou, you are so amazing."
"It's not magical at all. It's not the flower that works, but the fragrance. It's specially formulated to relieve pain and soothe the mind. But when you feel no pain, you think it's the flower's effect, and you think I'm really capable. Then Then let me tell you, this can only treat the symptoms. If you want to cure the root cause, you can’t use mutton. The so-called nourishment depends on what you eat. To get rid of the roots, you must use the back loin of a living person. Can you really find a living person to cut it? Eat waist meat? What if it’s not treating the waist, but congenital heart disease?”
Zhang Baoshan suddenly understood, "I understand, they are not really capable of curing diseases, but they rely on fake tricks to deceive people. After taking the raw pill, the Cao family fell under Shao Kunshan's control and could only listen to his mercy." , right. The same is true for human skin money."
I nodded and said: "There are charlatans who boast to the extreme, but there are definitely not many who have real skills. The rest are all fake tricks to deceive people, so they make them mysterious, weird, and even cruel. Come to deceive outsiders who don’t know what’s going on to seek wealth and death, and scare others from investigating and tracking.”
Zhang Baoshan said: "Then this human skin money is also used to bluff people, it's not of much use, is it?"
I said: "No, this thing is very useful. When it becomes a golden tie, its value does not lie in its original use, but in the fact that it can buy anything in the sorcerer's circle. Shao Kunshan's refining elixir of life can cure diseases. Mian Hu's ashes were selected to continue his life. They were all from the harvesting and cutting method, and they also took the same kind of human skin money. This shows that there is a circle in Jincheng that specializes in harvesting and cutting methods to harm people and make money. Someone is presiding over it. In this circle, this human skin money is used to buy and exchange resource information. Shao Kunshan has been refining elixirs for more than nine years, and Qianmian Hu has been selecting souls from ashes for ten years, which means that this circle has existed for at least ten years and has been continuously Doing similar things in secret!"
Zhang Baoshan's face became extremely ugly, "How many people will be killed by this? If this is true, the ministry will not be able to bear it, and we will definitely have to report it to the higher ups. I have to go back and tell Lao Gao about this as soon as possible. This must go smoothly." Let’s investigate further.”
This is the real shocking case!
At this point, it is no longer a matter of little Golden City, but the charlatan warlocks all over the country will be attacked.
He packed up his notes, drank down his glass of wine, grabbed a handful of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, and went to get the human skin money.
I said, "If you're not in a hurry, leave it here for now. I'll study the patterns on it and see if I can find any clues."
"Then put it away. This thing is an important evidence, so you can't break it or lose it."
"Don't worry, I know how to run this thing better than you."
"Then take it, I'll leave first. By the way, I'll come back to you when I have time. You can give me a good look at that problem in your lower back."
"Remember to bring money."
"Mr. Zhou, your situation is too small, isn't it? In our relationship, there is no need to talk about money."
"When we open for medical treatment, we have to charge money. Three thousand and five thousand is not too much, and one, two and two is not too little. If you are really tight on money, just give me a penny."
"I'm not a shabby person. Don't worry, I can't live without you. Let's go!"
I watched Zhang Baoshan walk to the door before calling him, "Wait a minute, Captain Zhang, there is something else."
