Chapter 44: Making ghosts, believing in ghosts
Hearing this, the old man's face darkened and he said: "Expensive? How expensive is it? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense.
My talisman has always been at this price. If you can’t afford it, have you ever thought that it’s your own problem? Has your salary increased over the years? Have you worked hard? ”
"And this was made by the Taoist priest of Qingsongguan, and it has efficacious effects after being opened."
"Then you'd better sell to those who believe."
Chen Yushu waved his hand, and then continued: "Just give me some talisman paper and some talisman ink."
"Huh?"
The old man was still a little unhappy. He frowned and asked, "I wonder what I call you?"
"My surname is Chen."
Chen Yushu replied.
"Surname Chen?
From Chenjiacun?
But that’s not right. There is only a boy named Chen in Chenjia Village who knows something about this industry. He is not good at making talismans..."
The old man asked back, then shook his head quickly and kept mumbling.
"Boss, do you want to sell it or not?"
Chen Yushu frowned and asked.
He didn't want to be questioned.
If it weren't for the purpose of making talismans, he wouldn't want to deal with people from other sects in a short period of time.
"Sell, of course."
The old man nodded quickly, took out a large stack of talisman paper and several bottles of talisman ink from the shop, and said: "This is pleated paper. Although it looks rough, it is not easy to make. It takes more than 100 yuan to make. This process can also carry the 'spirituality' and is a necessary material for making talismans
One piece of ten pieces, one tael of silver each.
As for this talisman ink, it is called Yin Blood Ink. It is made from the blood of strange beasts, plus Yin Bone, Yin Stone... and costs ten taels of silver per bottle. ”
Chen Yushu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
Although he had known before that these things were valuable, the price still made him feel a little sad.
"I'm not asking you for more.
Regardless of whether it is talisman paper or talisman ink, it is difficult to make, time-consuming and labor-intensive. If some brothers in the town didn't need it, I wouldn't have planned to make it. ”
Seemingly sensing Chen Yushu's hesitation, the boss quickly spoke.
"Ten pieces of talisman paper, a bottle of Yinxue ink, and the boss will give me two bundles of incense, a total of twenty taels of silver, how about it?"
Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"I'll give you three bundles of incense."
The old man grinned and neatly packed up everything.
Chen Yushu also took out the silver from his arms.
……
After leaving Lao Fu Xiang Shop, Chen Yushu strode towards his residence.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Fortunately, Chen Yushu has mastered the throwing technique and his eyesight has improved. He can almost see at night. In addition, occasionally some people still light lanterns in their homes, so it doesn't have much impact.
Keep going.
Soon he arrived near the 'Zuo Family Courtyard' of the previous household.
He was always wary of this house.
In fact, when he was helping Shi Hao deal with his death, he could clearly feel the gloomy atmosphere coming from this house while he was in the dark state. It was too strong.
Very scary.
He was almost certain that there must be something hidden inside, something big.
At least, it's not something he can handle at this time.
"Huh? Is there someone at the door of the house?"
Suddenly, Chen Yushu's expression changed. He could clearly see a slightly thin figure standing at the door of the house.
Chen Yushu stopped instinctively and took a closer look. After confirming that the other party was not a ghost, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, he frowned.
For some reason, looking at this figure, he felt vaguely familiar.
It's like he knows this person.
"Who is it?"
I muttered in my heart that just at this moment, the man moved.
Originally, this person was standing at the door of the Zuo Family Courtyard. At this time, this person seemed to feel his gaze and instinctively turned his head to glance in his direction.
It was this glance that made him recognize it.
This man was actually from his same village.
Qiao Wa'er, Liu Qiao'er.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He is a member of the Liu family who is said to have been unknown since he was a child, and his family even had a ghost woman who passed through the underworld and became a Taoist.
"Why is she here?
What is she doing here? ”
Doubts arose in his heart, and then he happened to see a small body suddenly emerge from the dog hole next to the small door of the 'Zuo Family Courtyard'.
Upon closer inspection, the little figure turned out to be a little girl who looked to be only five or six years old, with pigtails on her head.
The little girl, wearing a red bellyband, came out of the dog hole and jumped in front of Liu Qiaoer. Then she opened and closed her mouth as if she was talking quickly.
"Is this a ghost? A kid?"
Chen Yushu was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.
This little girl is actually a brat.
"Li Chao's Ghost Sighting Record says that being a ghost walker is a very strange profession. Sometimes when you are in danger and cannot escape for a while, you need to drive the ghost to deliver the message and ask for help.
This kind of little ghost is often called a messenger ghost or a believing ghost.
Sometimes, he can even drive the kid to explore the road and get information.
So, the little girl in front of me is Liu Qiaoer’s ghost? Make a ghost?
Did she drive this kid into this haunted house to find out information? ”
Thoughts flashed through Chen Yushu's mind, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
Before, when he was leaving the village, he had encountered a funeral in a neighboring village. The soul of the person in the coffin at that time stood up directly from the coffin for some unknown reason.
Because of his gaze, the other party rushed towards him immediately, but on the way, the ghost flew back at a faster speed.
At that time, he suspected that Liu Qiaoer could also see 'it', and it was because of her action that the ghost was frightened away.
Now, seeing her suddenly appear here and being able to drive the kid, he suddenly understood that his previous guess was correct.
Liu Qiaoer is indeed not simple.
Not only is she "supernatural", she also has a corresponding inheritance in cultivation, and she also possesses the incense and Taoism.
I just don’t know how deep her Taoism is and how many sticks of incense she possesses?
Then, he thought about it and walked over.
In any case, the other person was from his village, so it was normal to say hello to someone they bumped into on the road.
However, he had just taken two steps when he saw another head suddenly sticking out of the dog hole.
This head seemed to be standing upside down, looking out at the scene outside through the dog hole in a strange way.
"Ghost!"
Chen Yushu's heart suddenly trembled, and his whole body was agitated.
This feeling is so terrifying.
An upside-down head was looking around with wide eyes... Even if the other person's face was intact, he still looked pretty, but in this extremely gloomy environment, the way the other person appeared upside down still made him feel a twinge of joy in his heart. Paroxysms of hair.
Immediately afterwards, its eyes moved. Due to its position, it could not see Liu Qiaoer at the first time. Instead, it immediately locked onto the direction of Chen Yushu.
Then it laughed.
You can clearly see the corner of its mouth grinning, as if it has found the target.
