I used folk talismans to ward off the evil spirit.

Chapter 15 New Town Item: The Divine Chicken Catches 5 Poison Talismans

That afternoon, Zhou Xia, who had been missing for several days, returned to find Jiang Jun to cancel her lease, because the Department of Supernatural Affairs had arranged dormitory accommodation for her.

The Ghost Cult destroyed only a projection within the Mirror World; the dormitory itself remained intact. It's just that the fallen police officers could not be brought back to life.

Jiang Jun knew that Zhou Xia had been recruited by the Department of Supernatural Beings, but he pretended not to know and asked her a few more questions.

In front of the neighbors who came to watch, Zhou Xia announced directly: "I have been specially recruited into the Department of Supernatural Phenomena."

Having been neighbors for two years, some people have been critical of her, saying she's a single woman renting a place on her own, and have spread many unpleasant rumors.

Now, she can finally hold her head high.

Amidst the envious or fearful gazes of the crowd, she calmly packed her luggage and left.

As she reached the main entrance on the first floor, she suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Jun: "Boss Jiang, I am deeply grateful for your care over the past two years."

"You have a computer at home, right? When you have time, go to the 'Ghostly' forum and search for talismans, willow twigs, and jujube branch bracelets. They really work. As long as you don't break any taboos, they can protect your home and your spirit."

"You're too kind, Sister Zhou. I'll search for it when I get home." Jiang Jun waved goodbye to her.

The group of tenants listened and secretly kept it in mind.

Jiang Jun was worried about how to persuade the tenants to install "Ghost Prohibition" to add a layer of protection to the entire building.

With Zhou Xia's encouragement, the next morning, every household in the building had hung up a sign saying "Don't be suspicious" on their windows.

Many families also have a "strange encounter" with their own family.

However, the jujube branches are thorny, and you can easily prick someone if you're not careful. For several days in a row, the sound of children crying in the building was constant.

In the following days, Jiang Jun stared blankly at the progress bar overflowing on the "Strange Encounters" page of his folklore notebook.

"Is this what it feels like to win without lifting a finger?" He shook his head and chuckled, feeling even more favorably toward the Divine Bureau.

If he weren't unsure about the current situation and had too many secrets, he would have handed himself over along with the folklore notebook long ago.

"Forget it, let nature take its course." He took out the calendar, flipped through the subsequent festivals and solar terms, and looked for inspiration for compiling new town-themed items.

"Grain Rain... Summer Solstice... there are quite a few suitable folk customs..."

Just then, Granny Xie from apartment 403 knocked on his door.

"Boss Jiang, my grandson caught a 'red and black ringed' catfish downstairs today and was playing with it. It was terrifying!"

The red and black circles are the nickname for the red-banded snake in Qingjiang City.

Hearing the commotion, Old Lady Liu from apartment 201 next door came out and chimed in, "I was cleaning yesterday and I also found two 'scorpion-tiger maggots.' Boss Jiang, how about we get some detoxification done in our building?"

"Xie Bie Hu Zi" means scorpion.

As the weather warms up, these venomous snakes and scorpions end their hibernation and gradually become active again.

As the landlord, Jiang Jun naturally had a responsibility to get rid of the snakes and insects, and immediately promised: "I'll ask the community and have a professional come and handle it. Everyone be careful these next few days."

Grandma Xie and Grandma Liu left satisfied.

Jiang Jun closed the door, first called the community to ask them to recommend someone to do the work, and then went to his desk to sort out the existing town items.

"Gui Bu Xu" is used to ward off evil spirits and protect the home; "Gui Jian Chou" is used to protect oneself from evil spirits and exorcise them. These methods are sufficient for dealing with ordinary ghosts and monsters.

However, the bizarre scorpions and venomous snakes he encountered in the Mirror Realm, which possessed both bizarre and biological characteristics, were more troublesome.

He was not afraid of using the true form of the talisman, but others could not defend against these things by using the talisman's clones.

When it comes to warding off poisonous insects, many people think of the Dragon Boat Festival. But there are also folk customs for warding off the five poisonous creatures during the upcoming Grain Rain solar term.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Jun finally chose "Guyu Tie".

Water drips from the inkstone as it grinds cinnabar.

Before long, he took out a brush, dipped it in cinnabar ink, and wrote down the information of the third talisman in his folk custom notebook.

[Amulet for warding off evil spirits: "Divine Rooster Catches Five Poisons Talisman" posted during Grain Rain]

[Preparation: Take a sheet of yellow paper, mix cinnabar and realgar to make ink, write the words "Imperial Edict" at the top, write "The Divine Rooster is Here" in the center and draw a rooster's claw print, write "The True Fire of Samadhi Descends" on the left, write "The Five Poisons Turn to Ashes" on the right, and draw a fire pattern at the bottom.]

[Incantation: By imperial decree, vanquish the five poisons, leaving none alive. Heads severed, blood flowing to the ground; souls scattered to dust. Divine roosters crush bones, heavenly fire refines their bodies. Hang this talisman at the door, and all evil will dare not approach.]

[Usage: Can be pasted on doors, inside rooms, on stovetops, at the bottom of chests, or carried with you. Best done on the day of Grain Rain!]

[Taboo: Before affixing the talisman, those with blood on their hands, including those who have killed animals, are injured, or are women during menstruation, must not touch the talisman paper, and must not draw talismans or write incantations. Violators will be attracted by the five poisonous creatures that smell blood, bringing unrest to the household!]

The original "Grain Rain Post" was limited by the solar terms, and the divine rooster could only deal with scorpions. To deal with the five poisonous creatures, one needs to use images such as Zhong Kui.

But after Jiang Jun compiled it into a talisman, he certainly wouldn't tie his own hands; he directly gave it an epic-level enhancement.

Compared to the previous two protective charms, the "Divine Rooster Catches Five Poisons Talisman" has a clear offensive tendency, and its incantation is also more ruthless.

In order to study folk customs, Jiang Jun purchased a lot of materials, including yellow paper, cinnabar, and realgar.

Without delay, he laid out the paper, ground the cinnabar and realgar, dipped the rabbit hair brush in the ink, and began to write with great skill on the yellow paper.

The "edict" above is dignified and solemn, the four words "The Divine Rooster is Here" are extremely imposing, the incantations on both sides are full of murderous intent, and the claw marks and fire patterns below are also full of ferocity.

When he writes, he inadvertently imbues his writing with a powerful aura. With each stroke of his brush, an aura arises that makes people tremble at the mere sight of him.

"Clatter..." The folk notebook was opened, and the vermilion characters emitted a golden light. The original talisman was thus formed.

With the power of the suppressing force, Jiang Jun gained two new abilities.

He drew fire patterns in the air, summoning flames.

Summon the phantom of the divine rooster to slay the Five Poisons.

Jiang Jun carried it around the room and then stuck it directly onto the TV wall in the living room.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." He vaguely heard a rooster crow.

A warm breeze wafted through the room, reaching every corner.

Spiders and centipedes that had been hiding somewhere were all driven out, gathered in front of Jiang Jun, and died suddenly.

Not only the five poisonous creatures, but also cockroach larvae and mosquito larvae were eliminated.

Jiang Jun rubbed his temples: "Couldn't you have herded them into the toilet before executing them?"

The red light on the "Divine Rooster Talisman" flashed for a long time before stopping.

"You're quite fierce!" Jiang Jun said helplessly, and took a broom and dustpan to clean up the insect corpses.

He communicated with his divine sense and discovered that the talisman had developed sentience and was a born killer.

Compared to the fierce and cute "Ghostly Sorrow," it's nothing.

Of course, only the main body of the artifact possesses such power; the other artifact-suppressing clones are far less powerful.

After familiarizing himself with his newly acquired ability to suppress evil spirits, Jiang Jun reopened the forum and began to write short stories.

On the day of Grain Rain, I pasted a talisman for a divine rooster on the door, and the next day there was a dead scorpion lying at the door.

#Taboo of the Divine Rooster Talisman: You cannot kill any living creature before applying it. I broke this rule once, and the result was...

Every year around Grain Rain, my mom would send me a rooster charm. This year she's gone, so I drew it myself.
