Chapter 21 021: Hanging Thousands of Kites, Thank You Reminder
Carefully observe the message status of Wan Ding Ying and the five others.
Chu Ge judged that the martial arts of these five people did not appeal to him very much. If he chose to inherit and master them, it would be a waste of power, so they were all used for sacrifice.
“Almost all the old objects that can be purchased in Linyuan City have been purchased by me.
In the future, when the business environment returns to stability, I think it will be difficult to acquire more, as nearby resources are scarce. "
Chu Ge thought in his mind, "Now my property is almost sold out. After the quarterly accounts of the inn and restaurant are settled this month, I will sell the restaurant and get the money. Then I will give some severance money to the servants, and then I can leave Lin." It’s Yuancheng”
He gradually had a new plan in mind.
Originally, he planned to wait until he reached the peak of Qi and blood in the blood exchange realm before setting off to visit Fucheng and also meet his eldest sister Chu Feixue along the way.
Unfortunately, it is already felt that Linyuan City's resources are scarce.
Fortunately, after years of writing letters, it was logical for him to meet his eldest sister.
Perhaps Chu Feixue's channels can be used to obtain more cultivation resources.
Chu Ge doesn't object to eating his sister's soft rice occasionally.
He entered the secret room carrying some materials for making paper-cut hangings and paper kites.
First take out the stolen money, and then sort it out carefully together with the banknotes in the safe.
Thousands of taels of silver notes, silver ingots, jewelry, etc., which add up to a property worth about 55,000 taels.
This is all his savings now.
Unfortunately, Ding Ying and others who were killed only had more than 3,000 taels of silver notes with them.
More of the plundered wealth seemed to have been handed over to the stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Incense Sect, so there was not much wealth that he could catch.
In addition, there are four more blood-building pills. He no longer plans to take them, but sacrifices them all to Long Zhong.
Perhaps the refining effect of Long Zhong is better than his own refining and absorption. Four blood-building pills can extract three rays of supernatural power.
He took the elixir himself to refine it. One hematopoietic elixir was only equivalent to half a ray of supernatural power, and four pills were only equivalent to two rays of supernatural power. He also had to worry about the accumulation of poison in his body if he took too much.
After all the sacrifices were made, there was an extra ray of supernatural power, and there was no need to worry about poison.
However, it was still night, so Chu Ge was not in a hurry to practice martial arts. Instead, he studied the left path first and made new hanging thousand and paper-cut kites.
There are many types of paper-cut hangings.
The four-character "Welcome" hangings that were once hung in houses are just one of them, and can be used as an early warning to prevent predators from breaking into private homes.
There are also "Guangyuan Guangjin" hangings made of gold paper.
This kind of hanging qianruo hangs in shops and other places of business, and it has certain properties of attracting wealth. However, it requires a lot of gold paper, is expensive, and requires a loss of strength.
This time, the Guaqian that Chu Ge wants to make is an 'auspicious and wishful' Guaqian that can predict disasters, warn and ward off evil spirits.
The materials used for this hanging are very particular, and they need to be cut from mulberry paper, mulberry paper, and other vellum paper.
The flowers are also painted with purple gold, soaked in black dog blood, and then dried with peach charcoal.
Chu Ge couldn't find expensive materials like purple gold, so he had to use cold gold instead.
In addition to the 'Auspicious Ruyi' kite, he also plans to try to develop a 'clairvoyance' kite.
The decoupage material required for the clairvoyance kite is kraft paper.
It requires precious materials such as eagle eyes, carp intestines, and spider silk ropes to make a clairvoyant kite that can carry extraordinary powers and observe distant places.
Chu Ge failed to acquire eagle eyes, so he could only try with ordinary pigeon eyes instead.
In the secret room, the faint sound of paper cutting soon sounded.
Time passed by, and in the evening, Chu Ge had trimmed out a satisfactory prototype of the auspicious Ruyi Hanging Thousand and Clairvoyance Kite.
Before he could impart the results of the supernatural power test, the bell outside the secret room was rang.
"Master, the eldest lady of the Wang family and Butler Zhang came to visit and sent a thank you gift. Uncle Fu is entertaining them in the Yingbin Pavilion."
Chu Ge walked out of the secret room and heard the report from his servants. "Oh? Wang Xiuyun sent a thank you gift?"
Chu Ge was a little surprised, subconsciously thinking that his identity had been revealed by wearing the porter shadow puppet mask.
But he gave up this absurd idea in an instant.
Shadow puppet masks made with left-field techniques and supernatural powers are much more realistic than human skin masks.
Except for his height and body shape, he was almost like a different person. It was impossible for Wang Xiuyun to see through the situation at that time.
After a cup of tea.
In the Yingbin Pavilion, when Xiao Chunhua and other pretty maids were serving tea, melons and fruits, Chu Ge dismissed the servants, took a sip from the teacup, looked at Wang Xiuyun sitting opposite with a smile, and said.
"I wonder why Miss Wang came here today?"
"You used to call me Xiuyun, but now you call me Miss Wang."
Wang Xiuyun sighed secretly in her heart, but when she thought of Chu Ge rushing to her home to remind her of the summons, it was clear that she did not miss the past feelings. She showed a smile on her beautiful face and said, "Chu Ge, I am here this time to thank you for rushing to my Wang family yesterday to remind me.
I heard that you also fought off a very powerful gangster. Your master Hu Xuezhi said that you are about to break through the bone training realm. In addition to thanking you, I am here to send you a congratulatory gift in advance. "
Chu Ge smiled casually when he heard this and said modestly, "In that case, I think anyone would have gone to the palace to warn you. Fortunately, you were not in any danger."
A smile appeared on Wang Xiuyun's face, but she heard Chu Ge say again, "As for the thank you or congratulatory gifts, there is no need to be so polite. After all, my qualifications are dull, and the master just praised me casually, and I haven't made a breakthrough yet."
Wang Xiuyun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Chu Ge was insinuating her last words of persuasion.
Just as she was about to explain, Chu Ge smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, I also want to thank Miss Wang for speaking kindly to me last time, which enabled me to sell five thousand taels more for my properties. So I want to thank you. I am also thanking you."
Wang Xiuyun felt relieved, a smile appeared on her lips, and said, "No, since I'm here this time, naturally I can't come empty-handed. Chu Ge, just accept it."
Butler Zhang on the side immediately placed the box in his hand on the table. After opening it, he immediately revealed several old objects in the box.
"Huh?" Chu Ge's eyes lit up.
Wang Xiuyun smiled and said, "I have heard that you like to collect these old objects. I hope you like these things as a thank you gift."
Chu Ge shook his head with a smile and said helplessly, "Miss Wang, you really do what you want. I can't refuse this gift."
"You still call me Miss Wang?"
A trace of resentment appeared on Wang Xiuyun's pretty face, "You always called me Xiuyun sister before."
"This" Chu Ge was stunned and could only cough dryly, "Okay, then I'll call you Xiuyun from now on."
"Yes." Wang Xiuyun nodded with a blush on his cheeks and sighed, "In addition to thanking you this time, I actually want to thank the uncle who saved me.
It's a pity that he is so mysterious, I can't even remember what he looks like."
"Oh?" Chu Ge was amused in his heart, but his face showed a look of willingness to hear the details.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Wang Xiuyun changed the subject. In his words, he often mentioned the past. This girl had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks. She sometimes smiled shyly, with slanted eyes and furrowed eyebrows, as if she was nostalgic for the past.
This made Chu Ge very suspicious whether his predecessor had done anything to this girl Xiuyun.
It seems that this girl Xiuyun once admired her predecessor very much.
However, he was not his predecessor, and for the time being he only had a martial heart. He often asked the Wang family if they had more old objects that they were willing to trade.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiuyun was helpless and promised to go home to tidy up. After taking out more old objects to trade with Chu Ge, he reminded Chu Ge of an intriguing piece of news.
"Master Lin from the Evil Suppression Department has not returned since he chased him out of the city yesterday."
At the entrance of the Chu family mansion.
Chu Ge watched Wang Xiuyun's figure in the white cloak disappear into the sedan, with a deep expression and many thoughts.
Linyuan City has just settled down, so there won't be any accidents, right?
Chu Ge felt a little irritable. He only liked to practice quietly. However, the world was really unstable
