Chapter 116 Gathering, Animal Skin Talisman, Threshold
Chen Yushu took a look inside the store and saw a tall man talking to Lao Fu in the store.
Soon, the big man came out. When he saw Chen Yushu, he just nodded slightly, then picked up the big coffin, put it on his shoulder, and walked directly to the coffin shop opposite.
"Two sticks of incense are the way to go.
The Qi and blood are strong and strong, no weaker than those who practice internal martial arts.
Did he also practice martial arts, or was it a body-training technique in the sect? ”
A flash of spiritual light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes, and he quickly judged the level of strength of this big man with his spiritual eyes.
The Taoist practice of two sticks of incense is actually not weak anymore.
Not to mention that his Qi and blood power is also very powerful, comparable to that of an internally trained warrior among warriors.
As for whether he also practiced martial arts, he couldn't tell.
Because at this time, he already knew that in the sect, there was actually a special body-refining method that could make a person physically strong and powerful.
In ancient times, it was said that if one had cultivated one line of physical strength and practiced it to a high level, even though he did not cultivate internal strength, he could fight hand-to-hand with zombies. When fighting, he would be extremely ferocious and better than a warrior.
"Who is this person? He lives in the coffin shop?"
Thoughts flashed through Chen Yushu's mind, but he didn't delve into them.
Soon, he returned home.
He took out the pile-posting method again and started watching.
"The method of placing a pile can transfer the damage caused by attacking oneself to the thing on which one is placed.
According to the secret book, the first choice for sustenance is God and spirit.
Because everyone in the sect will offer incense to the gods, there is an extra layer of connection between nature and gods and spirits, which can be used to borrow strength. Afterwards, only offering incense is enough.
In addition, there are demons and monsters... Once a contract is signed with these things, compensation needs to be made.
Either qi, blood, essence, longevity, or tribute... the price is often higher.
Just like Team Leader Zuo, he signed a contract with the kid and raised him into a fierce ghost.
That is to say, because the two are blood relatives, the kid missed the old relationship and absorbed the blood and essence of the people in the troupe in a balanced manner, Shouyuan,
Otherwise, the troupe would have died long ago..."
Chen Yushu thought silently.
What makes him different from other people in the sect is that he does not offer incense to the gods.
I have always practiced on my own and practiced hard.
What I rely on has always been my own strength.
Unlike other people, you can borrow the power of 'god'.
This kind of borrowing is of great benefit in the early stages of practice.
For example, you can enter samadhi faster. When practicing, you will have a feeling of "like divine help", and the speed of practice will also be accelerated by a few percent.
As a price, you only need to offer incense every day. Only after you grow to a certain level can you be driven by the other party to do certain things.
These ‘gods’ are real.
Such as the earth, the kitchen god, the temple god... and some ancient sages, who were artificially 'conferred as gods', are all real.
Just like Uncle Zhong in Beijiao Village, he also has the habit of worshiping the earth god and offering incense.
Before, it was Chen Yushu who didn’t understand.
His limited understanding of this industry was obtained from Li Chao's ghost recordings, and he only relied on his own understanding and practiced step by step.
Although he knows more now, for him now, there is no need to go to the gods to borrow strength.
Because his state of samadhi has reached the level of constant concentration, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast for ordinary Yin walkers.
If you go to worship the gods again, you will gain more than you lose, and you may even attract prying eyes.
god!
There are also good and bad ones.
For example, temple blessings in some temples are actually, to a certain extent, the incarnation of 'god' in the mortal world, and they are people who do things for each other.
Ordinary mortals burn incense to seek peace, and just return it, but if it is a Taoist cultivator who 'borrows the Dharma', he needs to do something for him.
In essence, it is mutual aid and mutual benefit, but there are also many situations where people are coerced by others and do evil.
"So, when I practice this pile-posting method, I can't use 'gods' to cast spells.
You can only borrow ‘spirit’.
Or, borrow ghosts and ghosts..."
Chen Yushu thought silently.
spirit!
Nature is the spirit of the ancestors.
Especially for someone like him who comes from a mountain village, the best way is to use the ancestral spirit to protect himself from disasters.
However, when he thought about the situation in his Beijiao Village, he shook his head again.
All the spirits in the ancestral hall are gone.
How to borrow?
Even if ten years have passed now, some ancestral spirits should have been 'born'.
But it must be weak and inappropriate.
Otherwise, it would be easy to cheat the ‘ancestor’.
"Now it seems that we can only use demons and ghosts to cast spells."
Chen Yushu muttered, there is nothing to worry about.
There is a saying called forced casting.
He is not afraid of ghosts coming back to him to collect rewards.
Because the biggest difference between him and Team Leader Zuo is that he can control ghosts, but the other party cannot.
Time passes.
Soon, the sky became dark.
Dong dong dong~!
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Yushu put the drawn talismans into his backpack and walked directly over.
Tonight was the day when the exchange meeting would begin as promised by Shi Hao. He had already put away everything he needed to prepare.
When he opened the door, he saw Shi Hao waiting at the door.
He was also disguised, wearing a straw hat and covering his face with black cloth.
Obviously, at this exchange meeting, no one knows what the other person is doing.
Some necessary precautions are still necessary.
"Brother Chen."
The other party greeted.
Chen Yushu nodded, also took a hat, also held a black cloth, put it on his head, and said: "Let's go!"
The two made an appointment to go together, so naturally they didn't say much at this time. They looked at each other, then quickly left, heading towards the east of the town.
Not long after, the two came to the entrance of a pavilion.
Of course, this place still falls within the scope of Jianghuan Town. I remember that there is a small temple nearby, and the temple enshrines a general.
It is said that this general, named Zhao Junwu, was born in Jianghuan Town. He started as a soldier and rose to the rank of general step by step. His reputation was gained through actual combat.
Therefore, a hundred years after General Zhao Junwu was posthumously named General Fengyun by the imperial court, he could open a temple in his hometown in Jianghuan Town for future generations to pay homage and worship.
Of course, now that decades have passed, the incense of the General Temple is no longer as prosperous as it was at the beginning.
In such a remote place, only during festivals would the surrounding residents offer incense as a sign of respect.
At this time, there were also some people gathered here in twos and threes, but these people were standing here with a blank expression on their faces.
Obviously, they also got the news that there would be a gathering of people in the doorway, so they wanted to join in the fun.
"The news is that it is in this pavilion.
I just don’t know why, there are only so few people? ”
Shi Hao also had a confused look on his face.
Chen Yushu did not suspect that Shi Hao had lied to him. The two had dealt with each other more than once and they were fairly trustworthy.
Then he took a closer look at his surroundings, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.
"A formation has been set up here.
Only people in the real doorway can see clearly. ”
Chen Yushu whispered.
As for the rest, they should be ordinary people who followed the news out of curiosity.
However, this formation is designed to protect against these ordinary people.
Perhaps these people, from all over the country, are proficient in this art.
But if you don’t have the incense and Taoism, if you don’t have the threshold, you will naturally be excluded.
"How can I get in?"
Shi Hao asked quickly.
"Go to the underworld!"
Chen Yushu whispered.
Just at this time, someone came over again.
The person who came was a tall man with a face full of flesh. When he saw Chen Yushu and others, he didn't speak or talk to anyone. He just walked a few steps along the pavilion when he suddenly bumped into someone. .
Disappeared in an instant.
Everyone else also saw this scene.
It's just that the faces of those few people were a little ugly, because they had no idea how the other party 'got in'.
Being clever, I imitated the opponent's walking route, followed it, and then bumped into it...
He's still there.
Didn't crash into it.
He even fell down because he used too much force, and he immediately began to curse.
"It's the coffin bearer I met today."
Chen Yushu's face showed a thoughtful expression.
The strong man just now was actually the strong man carrying the coffin whom he had met once today.
But at this time, he was not carrying the coffin, and he had also changed his clothes, so that he almost failed to recognize it.
"Brother Chen, I still don't know how to be evil."
Shi Hao's face suddenly showed a sneer.
He had other ways to get in, but it would be too much to ask the Xian family to take action just to get in.
"It's okay, I'll take you in."
Chen Yushu didn't care about this. He stretched out his hand to give Shi Hao a hand, and then stepped forward.
Suddenly, Shi Hao felt his eyes flicker, and a slightly lively street appeared in front of him.
It's a street, but it's actually not long. It's like a vegetable market. There are people setting up stalls on both sides, and some people are walking around in the middle, squatting down from time to time to ask questions.
Exchange meeting, come in!
Shi Hao's face immediately showed excitement.
"Brother Chen."
But at this time, he didn't dare to walk around and just looked at Chen Yushu.
"Go in."
Chen Yushu also walked into it.
Only then did he realize that there were more people here than he thought.
There are at least twenty.
Except for a few people who walked inside openly, most of them had some disguise on their bodies.
Just from the appearance, one can barely tell the difference between male and female.
Chen Yushu was not surprised by this.
After getting closer, he looked directly at the stalls.
Most of them were old weapons, and there were one or two, such as soul bones. What surprised Chen Yushu was that he also saw some secret books among them.
Such as the natural pile method, the Sardin boxing method, the Qi and blood training of the skin meridian... they are actually some martial arts secrets.
Because there are really not many people setting up stalls.
Chen Yushu saw only ten stalls from beginning to end.
He wasn't very interested in most of the things, and he was really disappointed.
This was far from the communication meeting he imagined in the doorway.
As a last resort, he walked to a stall selling old utensils,
Before, he actually looked down upon these old weapons.
Because the role of old weapons is very small for him, and sometimes they are not as useful as talismans.
But since he learned how to open a forum, he understood. The old utensils were of great use when the altar was opened.
It can increase the thickness of his 'wall' so that the ghosts on trial cannot see him.
Only when you can't see it can you feel awe. Only when you feel awe can you catch and judge, kill monsters and punish evil spirits.
However, Chen Yushu didn't buy too much, he only chose two jades and two iron items.
About thirty taels each, which cost him one hundred and twenty taels of silver.
Then, he started to select among the secret books.
However, he found that both the Zhuang Kung Fu and the internal exercises were far inferior to what was taught in the drug store. He picked and picked, but finally gave up, which made the old man running the stall frown for a while, with a look of disgust on his face. color.
In this regard, Chen Yushu could only shrug helplessly.
Suddenly, Chen Yushu's eyes lit up.
He saw someone selling talismans at a newly set up stall.
Of course he had no shortage of talismans and the like, but out of instinct, he still walked over.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Talismans to ward off evil spirits, cleansing talismans, soothe the mind, cure diseases...
Chen Yushu looked at these talismans. They all had auras on them. They were obviously shaped talismans and could work.
It’s just that the number isn’t too much, only a dozen in total.
"How many of these cleaning charms are there?"
Chen Yushu asked curiously.
"Eight taels of silver."
The person setting up the stall was a middle-aged man with no mask on his face.
Of course, in the dark night, few people can actually see his true appearance. After all, not everyone is like Chen Yushu, who can see the night as day, and can clearly see scenes within a certain range in the dark. .
"I wonder what I call you, brother? Are you a charm maker?"
Chen Yushu handed over eight taels of silver, then pulled Qinxiang over and said.
"My surname is Feng. I'm not a talisman maker, are you?"
Seeing that the other party bought the talisman, the middle-aged man responded, but his tone was still a bit harsh.
"Brother Feng, don't get me wrong.
I actually wanted to ask you.
What kind of material is the talisman paper you used to make the talisman? ”
Chen Yushu had just noticed that the paper used by Feng Fu Master to draw the talismans was different from the pleated paper he had been using before, and was obviously more advanced.
Thinking about the reason why I can't draw the Golden Armor Talisman, Ice Arrow Talisman and Golden Armor Talisman now, the main reason is that the talisman paper is of lower grade and has a weak carrying capacity.
In addition, there are also talismans such as house-holding talisman and exorcism talisman. Now he has been promoted to the realm of minor achievements, but he has and can only draw high-quality talismans.
No matter how high it is, it won’t work.
Because too much psychic power is stored, it will explode.
This had happened more than once before.
So that he could only control and draw lower level talismans.
The new talisman is too important to him now.
Although he had asked Lao Fu before, he also said that he could purchase it from other places, but it would take a relatively long time.
Now, if we can buy suitable talismans from Master Feng, then this trip to the exchange meeting will be worthwhile.
"This is animal skin talisman.
They are all made of exotic animal skins and are full of spirituality.
You know, those strange beasts are all beings who understand yin and yang and can absorb spiritual energy independently.
The fur on the body is soft, and the membrane is also an excellent material for making talismans. It is highly conductive to spiritual energy.
Even ordinary talismans, once made, are more powerful than those low-level pleated paper. ”
"That's it.
I wonder, does Brother Feng still have this animal skin talisman?
Are you willing to sell me some? ”
Chen Yushu heard this and asked impatiently.
"Huh?
What do you want the talisman for? ”
Master Feng Fu was stunned for a moment, with an obvious look of vigilance on his face.
"Of course, it's used to draw symbols."
Chen Yushu said calmly, "To be honest, Brother Feng, I am also a talisman maker."
"You?
Also a charm maker? ”
Master Feng Fu was stunned, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.
As a Talisman Maker, he is very aware of the difficulty of this business. It is not something that can be done by just one person.
He also worked hard for many years and was able to draw a few kinds of talismans after being trained by his master.
And this person in front of me?
Although the other person's face was covered and he couldn't see clearly, he could tell from his eyes and voice that he was not very old.
This kind of person probably followed some elder to get into this exchange meeting. Even if he relied on himself, his reputation would not be high.
Drawing symbols?
It's almost like a ghost painting talisman.
It's almost impossible to succeed.
However, this is also a good thing for him.
The reason why he sells talismans is naturally because he is short of money, and he happens to have his own experience in making talisman paper... In fact, most talisman makers can make talisman paper.
Because, calculated this way, it saves money.
After all, making a talisman requires a lot of time and energy to achieve something, and the constant failure at the beginning is a blow, not only mentally, but also financially.
Therefore, if they are not from a wealthy family, most of the talisman makers need to travel back and forth in order to raise money to buy talisman paper and ink.
But if you master the method of making talisman paper and ink, you can naturally save a lot of expenses.
At this time, in his opinion, Chen Yushu was just a beginner of making talismans with a small fortune.
He was also his favorite God of Wealth in the past.
So, his attitude changed and he quickly said: "Of course I sell my animal skin talismans.
It's just that the price is much more expensive than ordinary pleated paper. ”
"Oh? How much is the price?"
Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
If the other party insists on not selling, there is nothing he can do.
If you are willing to sell, everything will be easy to discuss.
"A stack of ten taels of silver, a stack of ten cards."
Master Feng Fu looked at Chen Yushu, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes, and he continued.
"Ten taels of silver and two stacks, I want twenty stacks."
Chen Yushu said directly.
Master Feng Fu was about to retort when he suddenly froze.
Twenty stacks, that is, two hundred sheets. According to the other party, they are worth a hundred taels of silver.
Although it is far less expensive than the price of finished talismans, the critical success rate is also low.
With his method of making talismans, even one out of ten might not be successful. Instead, it would be better to just sell the talisman paper and make money.
Although the price was a bit low, it was only relatively speaking, so he quickly said: "Deal!"
Then, he took out stacks of animal skin talismans directly from the package under him.
After Chen Yushu checked briefly and confirmed that it was correct, he took out one hundred taels of silver without hesitation.
in this way.
The deal is done.
Both sides had a look of satisfaction on their faces, and they both felt that they had made a profit.
Chen Yushu was of course even more excited.
Master Feng Fu may have made a profit, but he will never lose.
Because, once he gets started with making talismans, there is almost no possibility of failure.
In his eyes, these two hundred animal skin talismans were equivalent to two hundred talismans.
Even if the most common house-destroying talisman is calculated at five taels of silver each, it can still be worth a thousand taels of silver.
But in fact, he will only use this animal skin talisman to make golden armor talisman, ice arrow talisman and soldier armor talisman, and at most add some high-quality low-level talismans.
Just one piece, if sold, would be worth at least fifteen or twenty taels of silver.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a huge profit.
On the contrary, the 'high price' quoted by the other party was nothing in his eyes.
After all, he has money now.
Deducting this time and the four old utensils he bought before, he spent a total of two hundred and twenty taels of silver, and he still had nearly three hundred taels of silver in his bag.
Very wealthy.
"Brother Chen, come here quickly.
There is a door here. I asked just now. The outside is the trading area, and the one inside the door is the exchange meeting.
It is a place where people in the family discuss things together. ”
Shi Hao, who had just completed the transaction and was walking around, quickly grabbed him and said quickly.
"Oh?"
Chen Yushu was already a little disappointed with this so-called exchange meeting. After hearing this, he suddenly understood and asked quickly: "Who are the people who entered?"
"I don't know.
But there was a person guarding the place, saying that only people with more than one stick of incense could enter. ”
Shi Hao showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He has been in this industry for a shorter period of time than Chen Yushu, and he is not very popular in this field.
The strength is basically related to the strength of the immortal family invited.
"Go and have a look."
Chen Yushu nodded.
Under the leadership of Shi Hao, they soon arrived at a large door.
Chen Yushu noticed for a moment that there was a stone lion at the door, and the word "General" could be seen vaguely above the door. If he was right, he guessed that this should be the gate of the General Temple.
It happened to be cleverly combined by the person who set up the formation.
"Stop.
Here, only fellow Taoists with more than one stick of incense can enter. ”
There were people guarding the door, and when they saw them coming, they said quickly.
"Then look, do I have the Taoism to hold a stick of incense?"
Chen Yushu said calmly.
Without saying a word, he slightly removed the hidden fragrance technique.
When the man heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, but he had already used means such as Qi-gazing. Seeing that Chen Yushu had indeed reached the Taoist level of a stick of incense, he nodded quickly and said: "You can go in.
< br>
But this person next to you..."
"This brother of mine is from the lineage of Chumaxian.
There is no such thing as incense in this inheritance.
It's hard to say that the immortal family he invited was much stronger than those Taoist friends with one or two sticks of incense. ”
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu spoke again.
Although the lineage of Chumaxian can also practice, it is not the same as the incense inheritance of the Zouyin people. It is another manifestation.
Therefore, it is difficult to 'see through' their true strength with general Qi-gazing techniques.
Because their strength really has little to do with themselves.
"Okay..."
Hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and let them go in.
