Tang Jiaren's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. As a top assassin, he was well aware of the importance of intelligence.

One of the most important pieces of intelligence was the topographic map!

To some extent, it can determine the life or death of a battle.

"How were these things leaked?"

Jimmy shook his head and chuckled: "Nobody cares. As long as the Japanese put in a little effort and spend a little money, they can get their hands on these things."

Yang Lie's eyes were indifferent:

"The government is incompetent and corrupt officials are rampant, which is one of the reasons why I abandoned my family business and went to the Tang Clan to cultivate."

"This worldly life is really meaningless."

Ah Xing looked a little embarrassed, after all, the General Luo he was playing seemed to be one of the government's spokespeople.

Zuo Ruotong said in a deep voice, "They have wolfish ambitions. Their intentions are already very clear."

There was no more hope in my heart. If I had no illusions about China, why would I have gone to such great lengths to collect map manuals?

Huang Yu walked to the desk and curiously opened a thick book.

Something that's specifically placed on an office desk must be something you use frequently.

Upon opening the cover, the title "Methods for Collecting Chinese Treasures" came into view.

Huang Yu frowned and quickly flipped through the pages. The pages contained all the archaeological and tomb-raiding knowledge about China.

These Japanese actually compiled a tomb raiding manual in order to collect Chinese cultural relics?!

Chapter 121 Strange Items, Yue Wu Chicken Divination

The new job change was triggered, but Huang Yu didn't feel much excitement.

The profession triggered under these circumstances has a really indescribable feeling.

Seeing that Huang Yu remained silent and kept flipping through a thick book, Zuo Ruotong and the others came over out of curiosity to take a look.

After seeing it, even Zuo Ruotong was amused and annoyed.

"They all deserve to die..."

After a long while, Huang Yu put the books away and returned them to his storage bag.

He asked Jimmy, "After looking for so long, how come we haven't seen anything about the Inhumans?"

"As an extraordinary organization of Japanese people, the Fish Dragon Society could not possibly be uninterested in the heritage of our Chinese civilization."

Jimmy glanced at Tang Clan and the others, and said carefully, "Yes, but it's in a secret underground chamber."

"There were many traps inside, but our people have already figured them out."

Seeing Jimmy's expression, Huang Yu knew what he was thinking.

That kind of thinking won't work. How can you take something if you don't give it first?

Huang Yu still wants to have the Tang Clan do things for him in the future and make good use of them.

Such a sect, specializing in assassination, plays a far greater role on the battlefield than the so-called orthodox sects of Taoism.

The combined deterrent power of two Longhushan sects on the battlefield is probably less than that of a single Tangmen sect.

After all, Longhu Mountain's methods are the upright and righteous Golden Light and Thunder Magic, which are extremely powerful, but easy to defend against and hide from, and also easy to be threatened by guns and cannons.

The Tang Clan's methods, however, are deadly strikes from the shadows, and no one likes these assassins who operate in the dark.

The Tang Clan's role shouldn't be limited to fighting against Bihe Ren; that would be too wasteful.

Huang Yu patted Jimmy on the shoulder and said:

"There's no need to hide anything. It's just some magical artifacts or inheritances. There's nothing to hide."

"The methods I usually teach you and the magic weapons I give you are no less than anything else."

Jimmy took a deep breath: "It was my disciple who was attached to appearances. I will take you there now."

Tang Jiaren, however, stopped them, smiling and saying, "No need. The Tang Clan doesn't need to see what's below."

Huang Yu looked at Tang Jiaren: "Mr. Tang, why not take a look?"

Tang Jiaren shook his head: "The Tang Clan has its own pride. We don't need to covet anything more. What we have is enough for us to cultivate."

Huang Yu countered, "What if there are suitable inheritances or items for the Tang Sect inside? Wouldn't we be missing out?"

At this point, Tang Jiaren hesitated: "That won't work either. Apart from hiring people for missions, the Tang Clan will not accept any other benefits."

Huang Yu nodded slightly: "How about this, if there is anything that the Tang Sect needs, then consider it a favor that the Tang Sect owes me."

"From now on, if I need the Tang Clan to do something for me, you can't refuse me."

Tang Jiaren initially wanted to refuse, but after glancing at the expectant looks from Yang Lie and the others behind him, he couldn't help but sigh slightly and nod, saying, "Okay."

Led by Jimmy, the group passed through layers of secret passages, guarded by disciples of the Starfire Academy along the way, and finally arrived at the door of an underground stone chamber.

"I have people guarding it at every level. Most of the things inside are collected magical techniques and some magical artifacts."

"I don't understand much more than that, but I have a feeling it's not simple."

"Master, you should go and see for yourself."

Jimmy pushed open the stone chamber door and explained.

squeak!

The door was pushed open, and what came into view was a skeleton placed in the center. It was not human, but looked like some kind of bird, and it was covered with cracks.

Huang Yu examined it closely: "This is... a chicken skeleton?"

Jimmy nodded: "Yes, a chicken skeleton. I don't know why the Japanese would collect a chicken skeleton."

"I think, could there be some secret hidden in these cracks?"

Zuo Ruotong glanced at it and laughed:

"No need to guess, this is Yue Wu Ji Bu..."

"Yue Wuji Bu?"

"Indeed, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the witchcraft of the Minyue people was famous throughout the world and was known in history as Yue witchcraft."

Zuo Ruotong pointed to the femur on the chicken skeleton and introduced, "The most famous skill of the Yue shaman is chicken divination."

"This is a divination method that predicts good or bad fortune by slaughtering a rooster and observing its bones, usually by observing the femur."

"There are also divination methods that involve observing the shape of eggs."

"This kind of witchcraft was extremely effective at the time, and it even spread to the Central Plains. Emperor Wu of Han believed in it and introduced it into the palace."

Everyone exclaimed that they had never seen anything like it. They had heard of divination using animal bones and tortoise shells, but this was the first time they had heard of divination using a rooster.

Huang Yu pondered, "Has the Yue Wu Chicken Divination technique been lost? Why haven't I heard of this school of thought lately?"

Zuo Ruotong nodded:

"It seems to have declined by the Tang Dynasty, and it is now only used in a few regions. I only heard about it from the older generation."

"This chicken skeleton is so complete, it looks quite old, yet it's so well preserved. No wonder the Japanese have kept it as a collection."

"Let me see what secrets it holds." The magical array spun in his eyes, and the cracks on the chicken skeleton transformed into patterns, which were imprinted in Huang Yu's mind.

In an instant, the various patterns rearranged and transformed into the shape of a chicken in Huang Yu's mind.

"Witch doctor? What's the difference between this profession and a shaman?"

Both were professions in ancient times responsible for communicating between humans and gods, predicting good and bad fortune, and presiding over sacrifices, but Huang Yu was really not clear about the difference between the two.

However, Huang Yu has some clarity by examining the methods involved in both cases.

The methods of shamans are to summon spirits and invoking deities. In the eyes of the ancients, this should mean that the spirits possess or descend upon them. They are a kind of medium for communicating with spirits and are responsible for inviting the gods down.

The shamans, on the other hand, used divination methods such as tortoise shell divination and yarrow stalk divination to predict good and bad fortune, thereby deciding major events such as national wars and capital relocations.

The shaman is not a vessel for God, but rather God's mouthpiece.
