Da Zaojun

Chapter 111: Failed to summon the spirit
The monsters that had awakened their intelligence retreated, while the monsters that had not awakened their intelligence and were being driven were still struggling, but they were no longer a large force.

The county magistrate organized the people to clean up the mess.

The demon corpses need to be sorted out and can be used for research.

The bodies of civilians who died in the battle must also be collected, and those who know them must identify their names, and those who can write must register them.

Several old doctors from the Medical Bureau had their energy stolen after they joined the City God's Medical Bureau... Although the City God died, they were still at the end of their life.

At this time, the funeral arrangements were being made, and some young men were forced to take over the cause of saving lives and healing the wounded.

The people in the kitchen were still cooking. Under the aroma of the food, the injured soldiers cried while eating, and their tears flowed into the food and they swallowed it together.

Women and their children were dressed in mourning clothes, and candles and paper money were sold out.

But they didn't even dare to cry freely, they just cried quietly.

Seeing this, Song Wuji couldn't bear to watch it, so he went into the kitchen and started preparing food.

Chef Bao said with half of his sleeves exposed: "Song Si Zao, it's not convenient for me to cook with one hand, but I'm already a ninth-rank chef. I think I can recruit a few more apprentices and pass on my Bao family cuisine."

Aunt Liu held her lost son in her arms and sighed, her eyes red. "I'm so stupid! If I had known that the City God was an evil spirit, I wouldn't have asked my Bao'er to copy the Imperial Edict several times. I would have let Bao'er worship the Kitchen God instead, and worshiped away his soul."

Song Wuji said, "The soul has left the body, but it can be brought back within seven days! I'll call back the soul!"

Aunt Liu suddenly felt like she had found a lifeline: "Xiao Song! Really?"

"real!"

Song Wuji looked carefully at Aunt Liu's son. He was only of school age, about eleven or twelve years old. His body was as thin as a piece of firewood, his face was pale, he was almost not breathing, and his veins were almost non-existent.

"Write down your birth date and nickname."

Aunt Liu asked, "Don't you need a full name?"

Song Wuji shook his head and said, "The nickname is the real name. The full name I took later, if it is not recorded in the family tree, it is not considered the real name."

This is the knowledge I learned in the Soul-Calling Secret Realm.

Aunt Liu quickly found the note with Bao'er's birth date hidden on it: "His childhood nickname was Golden Dog. When I was pregnant with him, I dreamed that a golden dog came to my house!"

Song Wuji nodded and put on the Nuo mask immediately. The Nuo mask had eight land magic skills on it: relieving fright, Nuo dance, suppressing evil spirits, exorcising evil spirits, keeping the house safe, protecting livestock, purifying water, and sending dreams.

They first performed the Nuo dance, then exorcised evil spirits and calmed down evil spirits, and finally calmed down the fright!
"Golden Dog! Come back!"

"Golden Dog! Come back!"

"Golden Dog! Come back!"

Aunt Liu couldn't help crying, "Jin Gou'er, come home! It's cold outside! It's warm at home. How can I live without you?"

Song Wuji stomped his feet continuously, shaking the land staff in his hand, but he saw Aunt Liu's Bao'er twitching with pain on his face, and he just didn't come back to life.

Song Wuji then stopped his magic.

Aunt Liu asked nervously, "Is he back?" Song Wuji shook his head, "His soul is trapped..."

The county magistrate was supported by Lu Han at this time. "Those who received the imperial edict from the City God can no longer be saved... I harmed them, but these people who were deceived by the City God should not lose their lives just because of praying to the gods!"

"Wuji, do you have any ideas?"

"I'm afraid their souls have been sold to the Rakshasa Ghost Market by the City God." Song Wuji frowned and said, "Before, the City God opened the Ghost Market, and now that the Ghost Gate is closed, I'm afraid they are also trapped inside."

"The people in the secret realm of Linjiazhuang had their souls taken away by the Dream Soul Demon, turning them into soulless people."

"Although the City God said that the people would be transformed into Rakshasas and fall into the Rakshasas Secret Realm, didn't I kill him? Shouldn't the magic stop with his death?"

Lu Han speculated, "Could it be that they made a deal with the Rakshasa Ghost Market Secret Realm itself? The City God didn't fulfill his oath in the end and should have suffered the pain of being devoured by thousands of ghosts. But now he is dead, and the Rakshasa evil ghosts were tricked out of the secret realm. Later, the secret realm was closed by the county magistrate, and the City God was killed by Wuji."

Song Wuji nodded and said, "That makes sense. There's a secret realm like this in Taichang City, and it's a market-based secret realm. We must have it under our control. The City God previously confronted us and asked the people to exchange Yin De for skills and weapons. They must have bought them from the Rakshasa Ghost Market."

The county magistrate said, "The Rakshasas are so vicious and cruel that even the City God has chosen to fall. They must be from the black market, and they are very good at deceiving people. I'm afraid the souls of the people are in great danger!"

Then he said, "The duty of a county magistrate is to keep the people safe and govern them, and to guard the land. Now that the people are suffering, I must go and rescue them myself. Xiao Song, you don't need to go to this secret realm. I have another task for you."

Song Wuji said: "I have the magical power to open the wall. I can directly open a door and enter the secret realm."

"No, you need to go to Luohu!"

The county magistrate said, "Compared to the demons on land, the demons in the water don't directly confront us. Moreover, if what he said is true, his cloud-controlling and rain-making skills can make the crops outside the secret realm mature, then we need him! Or we need his ability to control the clouds and rain."

"Now, it's time for spring plowing again!"

"We must either kill the python, seize the water dragon scales he mentioned, and control the water palace, or we must prevent him from being killed by the tiger demon. Otherwise, if the tiger demon controls both the land and water demons, Taichang City will be doomed."

"But relying on dragons and snakes to bring rain and ensure favorable weather is no different from relying on the City God to ensure peace. So, if you have the ability to kill him, Wuji, then kill him. If you really can't, then we can form an alliance."

Song Wuji heard this and said worriedly, "County Magistrate, the Rakshasa Ghost Market is so ferocious, can you handle it?"

"How about we go together? I'm also short of a weapon that suits me. Why don't we go to the Ghost Market and have a look?"

"Chen Xiu is also missing a bow."

"That python has hidden in Luo Lake, so it shouldn't die for a while!"

The county magistrate shook his head firmly. "You can't think that way. The tiger demon will definitely snipe the python halfway. It won't let it return to Luohu or enter the river through other waterways. Trust my judgment. This is the intuition of an official."

"As for the Rakshasa Ghost Market, since it's a market, it must have its own trading rules. It's not something that can be solved by violence. I can go there."

"it is good!"

Song Wuji brought out two secret manuals on rites and rituals from the Hufang secret realm, one for divination [Nine-Rank Diviner] and the other for making bronze ware [Nine-Rank Bronze Maker].

"These two sets of rituals for various trades allow diviners to cast spells to predict good and bad luck, as well as some blessing spells to turn misfortune into good fortune. Regarding bronze crafting, bronze artifacts can be made, even bronze mechanical beasts. The county magistrate can arrange for suitable people to complete the rituals."

"The more people in various trades and professions there are, the more prosperous Taichang City's fortune will be, and the greater the chance of surviving this chaotic world!"
