(There is no female lead in this book. It follows the original plot and is purely lighthearted comedy.)
Others rely on magic to exorcise demons. Jingchen relies on quicklime, black dog blood, traps, and a head full of dirty tricks.
Others become monks to cultivate. Jingchen has only three goals:
make money from incense offerings, ransack the demons' lairs, and trick Guangliang into taking the fall for him.
The Black Wind Demon is impervious to weapons?
First, get it to step into a trap.
The Spider Demon has eight legs?
Perfect, time to test the sticky mouse glue he just made.
The Celestial Silkworm Demon spins silk nothing can cut through?
Then let's mix croton seeds into all the mulberry leaves in town.
Though Jingchen can't use a single spell, his knowledge of the plot lets him bamboozle one notorious great demon after another until they start questioning their very existence.
Jigong handles exorcising demons. Jingchen handles raking in money and finishing them off.
What does Guangliang do?
Guangliang goes in first.
