Chapter 17 Know That a Young Man Has Ambitious Aspirations

Ji Xiang didn't hesitate much and took the token.

Although the token seemed to accuse him, Ji Xiang wasn't petty.

If he couldn't use it, he couldn't use it. It said he had evil thoughts, but who didn't have evil thoughts in their heart?

The image engraved on the token was Wang Lingguan, also known as the Taiyi Leisheng Yinghua Tianzun (Grand Thunder God). This deity has always been intolerant of evil and cannot stand even the slightest bit of wickedness.

Ji Xiang felt that perhaps selfishness was one of his biggest thoughts, and selfishness was obviously not a good virtue. It was perfectly normal to be defined as an evil thought.

So he could only sigh in his heart:

Grandpa Lingguan, where are there so many kind and upright people in this world? The reason why sages are sages is because they are all dead.

"This thing, it is said that people with impure minds can't use it. Of course, Tao Zhongwen himself doesn't seem to have used it many times. What he uses most often is an even more powerful token, which is placed in the Qin'an Hall, called the Gouchen Heavenly Emperor's Order..."

"Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain was able to use a little bit of its power, but later Zhang Zhenren quit his job outside the Meridian Gate, and this thing was sent back again. It is said that it is too difficult to use this order. Ordinary mages can't even open the order, let alone display all the divine power of this token."

"Now, Master Ji is here, truly a man of talent, heroic and extraordinary, elegant and handsome, a young hero, looking righteous! You took the token, maybe you can find a way to use it."

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian (Directorate of Palace Affairs) explained, meaning that when Old Zhang was watching the gate in the Forbidden City, he wore this thing, and he could use it, but other than Old Zhang, other mages and celestial gods couldn't use this token, so it was left here.

There was nothing wrong with this token; it was intact.

"You can't use it either, Eunuch?"

"Look at what you're saying. If I could use it, I wouldn't be a eunuch."

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian had an awkward but polite smile.

Eunuchs have a draft under their trousers; who doesn't have a dark side in their heart?

It would be a ghost if they could use this thing.

"Those celestial gods in the Northern Garrison Division interrogate prisoners every day, and they are probably perverted in their hearts. As for the Five Military Governor's Mansions, not to mention what kind of people they are, they can't even summon their divine positions, fighting for power and profit. How can they use Grandpa Lingguan's things?"

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian muttered in a low voice.

Although Ji Xiang heard it, he pretended not to. At this moment, a small eunuch came and talked to the eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian, roughly meaning that the yellow talismans were gone.

"Used up?"

"They were just distributed to the imperial tombs a few days ago, and haven't been purchased yet."

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian turned to ask Ji Xiang:

"Master Ji, do you know how many yellow talismans you need?"

"I'm a bit afraid of death, can I have ten *jin* first?"

"........"

It was the eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian's turn to be speechless. Although ten *jin* wasn't much, since the previous stock had been distributed to various sub-departments, he couldn't come up with ten *jin* at once.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. I want ten *jin* of yellow ones. This kind of yellow talisman is used to subdue demons and kill ghosts; then I want ten *jin* of red ones. Red talismans are used to appease the house and invite gods; and then I want ten *jin* of black ones. This kind of black talisman is used to suppress evil spirits and eliminate evil."

When Ji Xiang spoke, he also used a certain degree of physical gestures, as if he was waving his fists. But his face was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

The squinted eyes of the eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian couldn't open completely now.

Are you treating the Shen Gong Jian as a wholesale market?

"No, to be honest, black talismans haven't been purchased for many years, and there are no yellow or red talismans now. I'll take people to purchase a batch directly later."

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian asked the little eunuch who sent the message to call someone. It just so happened that the yellow talismans were used up, and they did need to be purchased. When Ji Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but ask:

"Where did Eunuch purchase these talismans from?"

"Han Jing Factory..."

The eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian said to Ji Xiang, "This Han Jing Factory is a place in Shuntian Prefecture where Taoist and Buddhist scriptures are printed. Many of the scriptures and classics used for our imperial sacrifices are purchased from them."

"The talisman paper is also produced by them."

As he said that, he added with a strange expression, "Also, the White Lotus Sect's scriptures are also printed there, but they are always hidden very well. I have only heard of this matter, and have never caught them in the act."

When Ji Xiang heard this, he thought of the Great Mighty Mantra he had seen last time. He had to prepare more of this mantra, but instead of writing it on low-level yellow talismans stacked together, it would be better to directly customize a batch of thick paper talismans from the factory.

The upper limit of incense that a yellow talisman can carry is two hundred portions. If it exceeds even a little bit, it will be burned out of thin air, but large talismans don't have this problem. The upper limit of incense that large talismans can carry is higher.

At that time, he can just close his eyes and draw, saving the step of stacking talismans, and he doesn't have to worry about accidentally burning the talisman paper.

"Eunuch, I'll go with you."

Ji Xiang was going to take a look at the Han Jing Factory to get some special large talismans. High-level talisman paper is not a common commodity, so the requirements can only be known by the talisman drawer himself.

And look at the magical artifacts he had selected from here, besides the Heavenly Book and the Thunder Order...

【Copper Wire Fire Cage: Magical Artifact! Used to confine incense.】

【Vermilion Tassel Whisk: Treasure Artifact! Cuts off evil energy, and can sweep people from a distance when attached with divine power.】

【Zhengyang Bell: Magical Artifact! A Sanqing Bell nurtured by three years of Zhengyang Qi (Primordial Yang Energy). It has a better effect on subduing gods and eliminating demons, and can suppress a certain amount of Yin energy.】

【Vajra Bell: Magical Artifact! Can help people open their wisdom, calm their minds, eliminate resentment, and purify ghosts.】

These two bells, in fact, the Vajra Bell is a Buddhist magical artifact.

Ji Xiang looked at its usage method, and it had the effect of calming the mind and eliminating resentment, like a low-profile version of the Xuande furnace he had seen before, so he could just use it.

Moreover, this thing, like the Sanqing Bell, also has an early warning function. When stepping into a fierce place, the bell will ring.

But in Shuntian Prefecture, where is there a fierce place? I'm afraid that Lord of Fire's Fire God Temple is not a fierce place. After all, Lord of Fire is also a serious "National God of Righteousness." This title has only been seen on Lord of Fire so far.

And the previous Beidi Tianpeng Ruler was also taken away by Ji Xiang.

This Tianpeng Ruler is bright red in color. Although the powerful effect of instant killing of evil has disappeared, the other functions on this Tianpeng Ruler can still be used, especially the effect of whoever it points to will reveal their true form. This effect is especially useful for the current Ji Xiang.

"It can simply complement the blank Divine Tablet. The Beidi Tianpeng Ruler points, and the other party reveals their true form, and the Divine Tablet can directly produce a strategy."

Ji Xiang followed the eunuch in charge of the Shen Gong Jian out of the Shen Gong. His body was finally filled with magical artifacts again, and he also had a Zhu Hong (vermilion) whisk in his hand that looked pretentious and otherworldly.

Ji Xiang looked at his attire. If he changed into the official's fourth-rank Taoist robe that was about to be delivered, it would be really good.

Although he has been "alive" for about a hundred years, this body is still that of a teenager.

Ji Xiang couldn't help but smile, raised his head slightly, flicked his sleeves, and draped the whisk over his arm:

"Know that a young man has ambitious aspirations, and once promised to be the best in the world."
