Chapter 6

Knowing the cause of Lu Yuzhu's death, the task assigned by Qi Zhiyong was considered completed.

But Wu Xian did not leave.

Out of a detective's professional instinct, he searched the room carefully and finally discovered a secret compartment behind the hanging painting on the wall; inside the secret compartment was something that exceeded his expectations.

A statue!

This statue has an eagle head and a human body, sitting cross-legged on a divine throne, with countless ferocious poisonous snakes of different lengths and thicknesses wrapped around its body; these poisonous snakes are carved extremely delicately, as if they were living things, as if they would leap up at any time to bite someone's throat.

On the table in front of the statue were two red candles and an incense burner; under the statue was a brass base, and on the edge of the base was written the name of the statue:

Water Official - Xuanming Great Main God!

"There is a statue!"

Wu Xian's breathing quickened; after burning the red-clothed hanging entity to death, he obtained an incense stick; on the miscellaneous items page of the Juanren dossier, that incense stick was described as follows.

Sui Incense: Produced from a hanging entity, an object of evil entities to remove filth and obsessions, condensed from Yin essence; burning it can increase Yin virtue and can worship gods.

【Water Official Curse】: 'Uncomfortable Coffin'

"You wait, I will give you a surprise."

It seems that these statues can only be worshipped once.

"Find me, find me quickly."

The blade of this copper coin sword is short and thick, and the blade has ten layers of copper coins, each layer stacked with five copper coins, which are Qin Dynasty Banliang coins, Han Dynasty Wuzhu coins, Kaiyuan Tongbao, Songyuan Tongbao, and Yongle Tongbao.

Through his peripheral vision, Wu Xian saw a man's head resting on his shoulder; the man's side face was frozen blue and cracked, and there were fine ice crystals on the broken skin.

"Damn!"

In his eyes, Wu Xian is already a dead man.

Hearing that there was a ghost, a flash of relief crossed Qi Zhiyong's eyes, and he hurriedly comforted Wu Xian: "Don't rush, speak slowly, tell me what you have discovered."

Copper Coin Sword: Woven from the Five Emperors' coins of the prosperous age, one foot and three inches long, heats up when encountering ghosts, can injure evil entities.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen,"

The man disappeared after speaking, leaving only a puddle of ice water on the ground behind Wu Xian.

But the problem now is, how to find this 'Mr. Wang'?

Just as he was happy, Wu Xian suddenly felt a chill.

This is a Buddha statue.

The coffin is the dead person's home, but Mr. Wang doesn't like the home his wife gave him; please find Mr. Wang and release him from this uncomfortable home; before you find him, your body temperature will continue to drop.

This building has four floors in total; the second, third, and fourth floors each have eight guest rooms, while the first floor is the front desk and the living space of the hostel owner; the doors on the second and third floors are all violently destroyed like 405, and the furniture inside is like old photos left for a long time, all starting to fade and weather.

Although he decided to hide his light, Qi Zhiyong's attitude still made him quite unhappy; he decided that after lifting the curse, he would give Qi Zhiyong a show.

"I... I'm so cold."

If it were outside, it wouldn't be difficult for Wu Xian to find someone; if that Mr. Wang didn't live far away, the information in those few sentences would be enough for Wu Xian to find him.

He had just worshipped the Water Official statue and had the Water Official curse on him; clearly, this curse was obtained because of worshipping the god; he didn't pick up a pie on this trip, but bit into a sugar-coated bullet!

While angry, Wu Xian also felt his heart creeped out.

This is the hint Mr. Wang gave Wu Xian!

"Since he is in a hurry, then I won't be in a hurry."

Two pieces of information were added to the dossier; one was about the copper coin sword, which was already in Wu Xian's expectation, and the other piece of information was...

He didn't mention the matter of worshipping the god, and also concealed some of his own discoveries, writing extensively about the terror of being cursed, which made Qi Zhiyong nod repeatedly.

Wu Xian told Qi Zhiyong the lies he had already made up, stuttering.

An unprovoked coldness spread from the depths of his heart; goosebumps rose all over his body, and a body colder than ice pressed against him; the bone-chilling cold made Wu Xian unable to move.

Curse!

And it took Wu Xian a while to recover; he was shivering all over, his limbs were cold, his fingers and toes became numb, and a layer of frost even formed on his left ear; he hurriedly rubbed his ear with his left hand, while his right hand clumsily opened the Juanren dossier to check if new information had appeared on it.

Wu Xian cursed angrily.

While Wu Xian was blaming himself, Qi Zhiyong's voice came from outside: "Why haven't you come out yet? Did you die inside?"

Wu Xian's anger rose, and just as he wanted to curse, he remembered his persona.

Wu Xian roughly looked at the effects of the three magical artifacts, then reached his hand into the water vapor and fished out a wet copper coin sword from it.

Qi Zhiyong comforted Wu Xian perfunctorily and sent Wu Xian to look for supplies; he had already obtained what he wanted and didn't want to waste more time on Wu Xian.

Pure Whisk: Peach wood handle, spirit horse tail, cleanses the body and purifies the ground, sweeps away gloom.

"Hehehe, it seems he is more anxious than me."

During the process of selling misery, his body temperature had gradually risen, staying at a level slightly lower than usual; according to this rate of body temperature drop, at least within a few hours, he would not lose his ability to act due to hypothermia.

But the Fudi was too unfamiliar, and the time left for Wu Xian was too short, so a brainstorm occurred in his head.

Wu Xian was no longer in a hurry to go downstairs, but instead, like an old man taking a walk, strolled around floor by floor with his hands behind his back.

So he messed up his hair, took a deep breath until he saw stars, ran out staggeringly, and grabbed Qi Zhiyong's arm with a terrified expression.

"I will always be waiting for you."

When Wu Xian turned a corner, he suddenly discovered that just now his left face was cold, but after turning a corner, it became his right face that was cold; he turned around and tried a few more times, finally determining that the coldness came from a certain direction.

"That, there is a ghost in there, and a woman..."

Wu Xian laughed, tucking the copper coin sword into his back waist.

Then, he walked past the stair corner and found a way.

Searching the scene was originally just his habit; he didn't expect to actually have an unexpected harvest; with this copper coin sword plus the True Fire Incantation, he would have basic self-protection ability in the Fudi.

Demon-Revealing Mirror: A polished ancient bronze mirror; rubbing the Dao patterns on the back with fingers can identify the original form of ghosts and monsters, and can break the tricks of demons; each activation consumes spirituality, and it becomes a common object when exhausted.

"This coffin is full of ice, narrow and small; I can't lie straight and can't sleep well; you come quickly to let me out, I'll be waiting for you here."

After saying goodbye to Qi Zhiyong, Wu Xian cursed and swore.

Every time this copper coin sword injures an evil entity, the blade will lose a layer; when all ten layers of blades disappear, this copper coin sword will be unusable.

But apart from that, the second and third floors were very clean.

After he made his choice, the statue turned into a puddle of clear water, and then quickly evaporated into mist and dissipated.

The smoke released by burning this Sui incense was not smoke, but light blue misty water vapor; these water vapors floated on the table, forming three groups of object shapes.

Surname Wang, in the refrigerator, married and dead...

The evil entities in the Fudi are definitely not something that can be countered by some talismans and magical artifacts; if the thing that was stuck to his body just now wanted to kill him, Wu Xian wouldn't even have the chance to take out the copper coin sword!

The thought of having self-protection ability just now was simply stupid beyond stupid!

No severed limbs, no blood on the ground, only heavy gray mud, as well as humanoid cement sculptures that were out of place with the hostel environment, and... the pervasive stench of rotting corpses!

Qi Zhiyong was still waiting outside, so Wu Xian didn't delay time and directly inserted the Sui incense.

Wu Xian endured the strange smell and walked around, and he really found something useful.

The lotus throne was piled with treasures and objects, and a Buddha head was placed on top of the treasure pile, with a weird smile on its face as if it were a money-grubber.

The divine name was written on the throne.

Outer God - Multi-Treasure Tathagata Statue!
