In the world view of the polling bureau, in addition to normal humans and ghosts, there are many lives that exist in other ways, to name a few:
White-haired man: the most A reliable way to achieve immortality is to obtain an immortal body by taking immortality pills. Under normal conditions, there will be no birth, old age, illness or death. The self-healing ability after injury is very strong. Unless there is an injury such as decapitation, you will generally not die (except for spells that are more powerful than yourself). ). There are three disadvantages: 1. Every three years there will be a 13-day period of debility, during which period you are no different from ordinary people; 2. The risk is very high, and only people with a certain physique have a certain chance of success. After taking the medicine, you will either live forever or live forever. Die immediately; 3. It is difficult to have heirs. Representative figures include Wu Rendi, Guangren, Shen La, Yang Xiao, Yang Jun, Gui Bugui, Zhu Yunwen, as well as Xu Fu, Guangxiao, Guangyi, Guangti and others in "Mian Zhuan" and "Post Biography".
Elves: There are only three ginseng elves in the book.
The living dead, the undead, etc.: generally refers to various ways of pursuing immortality by using various evil magic and sorcery, usually spanning life and death, and being in an embarrassing state of neither life nor death. Although these methods can allow people to survive longer, the side effects are obvious: 1. You may lose your consciousness, such as the Dianchi Altar, the half-corpse in the underground palace of the girls' school, the sailors on the ghost ship, etc.; 2. Long-term medication is required Maintain, such as the evil Li Yi in "The Later Biography". These existences are failed ways of immortality, are generally considered to belong to the devil, and are the key targets of the polling bureau.
軻: When people die, they become ghosts, and when ghosts die, they become rats. In theory, ghosts are afraid of rats a hundred times more than people are afraid of ghosts. It will only appear in extremely dark places. The polling bureau once captured one. It was originally intended to be sent back to the underworld, but it was used by Lin Feng to create chaos on the train of dead souls. It can be seen in "Five Flavors", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and other books.
Nie: An artificially created creature that defies nature and is transformed from other creatures through special means in the extremely dark place. The characteristic is that the whole body is pitch black and the teeth are as black as pearls. They are protected from the light of Yin and Yang and can grow back automatically after falling off. It has extremely strong vitality, and its cry sounds like "evil", which can shake people's hearts. The Northern Song Dynasty Taoist Dong Qichao Bi Sheng was obsessed with the development of Nie and created a large number of Half Nie. He chose to give up when he was only one step away from success. Zhang Rantian could only become a half-evil because he skipped the crucial step of rebirth after death. Even so, Yang Jun, Hao Zhengyi and others were helpless. According to Wu Rendi, the only perfect evil in the world is Yang Jun's black cat.
Yin Bai: In this book, it was originally a name for a completely demonized animal, and later it specifically referred to the white wolf captured from the demon tomb in Tianshan Mountain and brought back to the polling bureau. "Mian Zhuan" says: "The dog demon swallowed the mastiff and gave birth to two sons, one is Tiangu and the other is Yin Bai."
Chixiao: a kind of mountain charm, omnivorous, but if it eats the first mouthful of human flesh , from now on they can only feed on human flesh. The whole body will be red. As more and more people eat it, the skin will become redder and redder, and the face and bones will change accordingly. To a certain extent, it will even attract thunder from the sky.
Soul Magic: A type of witchcraft, made by piecing together the bones, skin and flesh of many people into a body and stuffing the souls of thousands of people into it. He is tall, more than three meters tall, wearing armor with talismans, and is afraid of fire. Dong Qichao once introduced his soul into the soul hawk and retained his consciousness. This soul hawk is smaller in size than the ordinary soul hawk, but more flexible and not afraid of fire.
Ice Corpse: A combination of countless dead corpses and evil spirits. It is a kind of evil magic during the Goryeo Dynasty of Korea. The corpses of countless frozen people were cast and placed in a very gloomy place, and their souls were imprisoned in the body by witchcraft. Finally, a kind of "addiction technique" is used on them to make them eat each other. Usually one corpse will eat the other corpse cleanly, and then find another corpse to eat. In the end, only one corpse can survive. , at this time his body will become very large, and an extremely cold death energy will be emitted from the inside to the outside. This is the big ice corpse. There once appeared at the bottom of the Daqing River. It was three to four meters high and was controlled by Xiao Sanda to a certain extent.
Puppet: Ghost teaching method, made of corpses. It has no soul, but has a certain consciousness and is completely controlled by the caster. It has no facial features, but can change its appearance (Tao Heru once created dozens of puppets with the same appearance as his own). Similar to this, there are many corpse control techniques.
Ghost refining: a special ghost-controlling magic. Legend has it that when this magic reaches its peak, the soul it controls can escape from the world of yin and yang, and can not avoid the three lights, mixing the two characteristics of human and ghost. At the same time, even Daluo Jinxian will be taboo about three points.
Three refining ghosts appear in the book: Min Tianbiao, Min Tianyuan's son, and Qiu Bulao. Among them, Min Tianbiao finally returned to the underworld. Min Tianyuan's son had begun to take shape, but was forced to the underworld by Wu Mian. Qiu Bulao's ending is unknown. (There is another characteristic of refining ghosts. The soul of refining ghosts must be the blood relative of the caster. Lin Feng was able to make Qiu Bulao into refining ghosts, probably by using the magic on the heavenly map.)
Demon Spirits : A soul that cannot be reincarnated for a long time becomes a demon through some chance and becomes a half-demon and half-ghost existence, which is called a demon spirit. After Li Jianghe died, his soul turned into a demon spirit. The same half-demon and half-ghost existence is the ghost in "Sequel", which is the soul of the monster after death. Polling Bureau Standard Swinging Stick: The basic equipment of the Polling Bureau. It is made of special materials. It is completely black and has talismans on it. It can restrain ordinary ghosts. It is predicted that similar ones include standard daggers and short sticks from the special period.
Polling Bureau standard pistol: The basic equipment of the Polling Bureau. It has been specially treated and has a heavy body. It has a rubbing of the exorcism and ghost-suppressing talisman of the ninth-generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. The body of the special bullet is inscribed with the soul-soothing charm of Li Tianyi of the Laoshan Taoist sect. The warhead is made of silver alloy and contains concentrated cinnabar. It generates a secondary explosion after hitting the target. The prototype of this type of bullet was developed by Xiao Sanda. It was modified from the military Type 54 during the Special Operations period and later became the Type 92.
Wu's dagger: a weapon mass-produced by Wu Rendi, more than a foot long, with two edges. It is an invincible artifact in the early stage, and evil creatures are instinctively afraid of it. According to "Mian Zhuan", it is speculated that Wu Rendi used meteorite iron obtained from the witch ancestors to imitate the shape of crime and punishment.
Crime and Punishment: Guangren’s weapon in the early stage. After Guangren was trapped, he recognized Shen La as his master. During the war between Wu and Yue, the swordsmith of the Wu Kingdom melted down the Buddha statues to create the Sin Sword, which resulted in the death of his family. He then used the remaining materials to make the Punishment Sword, hoping to suppress the evil spirit of the Sin Sword. After the sword was cast, the swordsmith suddenly lost his mind and committed suicide by caesarean section. Hence the name of the two swords. In terms of power alone, the Sin Sword is stronger than the Punishment Sword, but the Punishment Sword naturally restrains the Sin Sword.
Tianli Diagram: Tianli Diagram has nothing to do with ascending to immortality or anything like that. To put it simply, it is a technique that can reverse yin and yang. In a sense, Tianli Tu can be regarded as another unique method of immortality. The characteristic of Tianlitu is that it can control the life and death of oneself and others at will. This kind of control does not mean killing people in a simple sense, but resurrecting the dead. Not to mention, people who practice this technique will have both living and dead characteristics at the same time. This allows practitioners to theoretically get rid of the troubles of reincarnation.
The Chronicles of the Underworld: A thread-bound book with unknown content that Wu Rendi has read for many years.
Third-generation crossbow: A crossbow made from the bones of monster beasts. It is completely white and has great power. In the main story, the crossbow obtained by Fatty Sun was copied by Wu Rendi based on the third generation crossbow.
Wu's pistol: The appearance is no different from the standard pistol of the Polling Bureau, but the bullet is made by Wu Rendi melting a dagger. Shen La once used it to kill Lin Huo.
Swallowing Heaven Sword: The giant sword used by Pu Daguo. It was mentioned twice in the early treasures of the Special Office, once called "Swallowing the Sky" and once called "Zhuxie". It is extremely sharp and powerful. It can split Chi Xiao's head with one sword and cause incurable damage to Tao Heru. After Pu Da's death, the sword was broken due to channeling, and most of the sword was buried with Pu Da. The hilt and part of the sword were transformed into a short sword. The sword could be fired out, and there was also a hidden weapon in the hilt. A section of the sword could be ejected, causing great trauma to Lin Feng.
Silk: The bond through which high-level monsters absorb the aura of heaven and earth, similar to an umbilical cord. It has a demonic nature in itself and will actively attack people. It is extremely tough and is used as a raw material for making fairy ropes in mythology. Pu Daguo once tied a giant sword with a piece of silk to make it have the effect of a flying sword. Lin Feng used it to kill Lao Yi in a sneak attack and seriously injured Wang Ziheng.
Divination: According to legend, it was a prop used by King Wen for divination (the carapace of a creature with the body of a turtle and the head of a dragon). The fortune revealed can be changed. King Wen of Zhou, Wu Zetian and others all used it to change their fate. In order to get Zhanzu, Huang Ran committed the serious crime of destroying the Buddha and was taken away by the polling bureau in the Tianshan Demon Tomb. Because Jin Xiazi concealed the use of fortune-telling, Gao Liang gave up changing his fate after using fortune-telling and destroyed the fortune-telling before his death.
Dragon Beard: Meteoric Iron, so named because it resembles the beard of an animal. There were three sticks, one was taken away from Hao Wenming by Wu Rendi, and the other two were tied to Zhan Zu, and both were finally obtained by the polling bureau. It is an artifact of unlocking and can open mechanical locks of any structure.

Blood Escape: The escape magic weapon of ghost Taoism. A mouthful of blood can escape hundreds of miles.
Note: The descriptions of spells, formations, magic weapons, etc. in this book are relatively scattered. They are scattered in various short stories like Nadajie and the Nine-Nine-Turn Formation. It is not systematic and too excessive. It’s cumbersome, so don’t organize it too much. Some weapons, such as Xiao Sanda's Heavenly Ruler and Qiu Bulao's Wujin Dao, are not described separately and have no special meaning, so they are not organized separately.
