Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 44: Using Ghosts, Trusting Ghosts

Hearing this, the old man's face darkened and he said, "Expensive? How is it expensive? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense.

My talisman has always been priced this way. Have you ever thought that it is your own problem that you cannot afford it? Have your wages increased over the years? Have you worked hard?"

"And this was made by the Taoist priest of Qingsong Temple. It is effective after being blessed."

"Then you should sell it to those who believe it."

Chen Yushu waved his hand, and then continued: "Give me some talisman paper and a portion of talisman ink."

"Ok?"

The old man was a little unhappy at first, but when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "What's your name, young man?"

"My surname is Chen."

Chen Yushu replied.

"Surname Chen?
From Chenjia Village?

But that's not right. There's only one kid named Chen in Chenjia Village who knows something about this business, and he's not good at making talismans..."

The old man asked back, then quickly shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Boss, are you going to sell it or not?"

Chen Yushu frowned and asked.

He doesn't want to be questioned.

If it wasn't for making talismans, he wouldn't want to deal with people from other sects in the short term.

"Sell, of course."

The old man nodded quickly, and took a large stack of talisman paper and several bottles of talisman ink from the shop, saying: "This is pleated paper. Although it looks rough, it is not easy to make. It requires more than a hundred processes. It can also carry 'spirituality', and is a good material necessary for making talismans.

Ten pieces in a set, one tael of silver per piece.

As for this talisman ink, it is called Yin Blood Ink, which is made from the blood of strange beasts, Yin bones, Yin stones... One bottle costs ten taels of silver."

Chen Yushu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Although he knew before that these things were valuable, the price still made him feel a little painful.

“I didn’t ask you for more.

Whether it is talisman paper or talisman ink, it is difficult to make, time-consuming and labor-intensive. If some brothers in the town did not need it, I would not have planned to make it. "

As if noticing Chen Yushu's hesitation, the boss quickly spoke.

"Ten pieces of talisman paper, a bottle of Yin Blood Ink, and two bundles of incense as a gift, a total of twenty taels of silver, how about that?"

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"I'll give you three bundles of incense."

The old man grinned and packed up all the things neatly.

Chen Yushu also took out some silver from his arms.

……

After leaving Lao Fu's incense shop, Chen Yushu strode towards his residence.

At this time, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu's throwing skills have been perfected, and his eyesight has also improved. He can almost see at night. In addition, sometimes some people 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.

The truth is, when he was helping Shi Hao deal with the death before, he was in a state of Yin walking and clearly felt the gloomy atmosphere coming from this house. It was too strong.

Very scary.

He was almost certain that there must be something hidden in there, a big one.

At least, it was not something he could handle at the moment.

"Hmm? Is there anyone at the door of that house?"

Suddenly, Chen Yushu's face changed. He clearly saw a slightly thin figure standing at the door of the house.

Chen Yushu instinctively stopped and took a closer look. Only after confirming that the other party was not a ghost did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, his brows furrowed.

For some reason, looking at this figure, he had a vague feeling of familiarity.

It was as if he knew this person.

"who is it?"

I was muttering to myself, and just at this moment, the man moved.

Originally, this person was standing at the gate of the "Zuo Family Courtyard". At this moment, this person seemed to sense his gaze and instinctively turned his head to look in his direction.

It was this one glance that made him recognize it.

This person was actually from the same village as him.

Qiaowaer, Liu Qiaoer.

He was the one from the Liu family who was said to have had an unknown origin since childhood and whose family even had a witch who was able to communicate with the underworld and had some magical powers.

“Why is she here?
What is she doing here?"

Doubts arose in his mind, and then he happened to see a small figure suddenly crawling out from the dog hole next to the small gate of the "Zuo Family Courtyard".

Looking closely, the small figure turned out to be a little girl who looked only five or six years old, with braids on her head.

The little girl, wearing a red bellyband, crawled out of the dog hole, and came in front of Liu Qiaoer in a jump. Then, she opened and closed her mouth as if she was saying something quickly.

"Is this a ghost? A little ghost?"

Chen Yushu was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.

This little girl is actually a little devil.

"Li Chao's Ghost Records says that ghost walking is a very strange profession. Sometimes when you encounter danger and cannot get away for a while, you need to drive the little ghost to pass on the message and ask for help.

This kind of little ghost is often called a servant ghost or a believing ghost.

Sometimes, you can even drive the little ghost to explore the way and gather information.

So, the little girl in front of him was Liu Qiaoer's trusted ghost? Or her servant?
She had previously driven this little ghost into this haunted house to gather information?"

A thought flashed through Chen Yushu's mind, and he suddenly understood something.

Before, when he was leaving the village, he encountered a funeral procession in the neighboring village. At that time, for some unknown reason, the soul of the person in the coffin stood up directly from the coffin.

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 scared away.

Now, seeing her suddenly appear here and be able to drive the little ghost, he suddenly realized that his previous guess was correct.

Liu Qiaoer is indeed not a simple person.

Not only is she very spiritual, but she also has a corresponding inheritance in her practice and possesses a lot of Taoist skills.

I just don't know how deep her Taoism is and how much she has mastered.
Then he thought about it and walked over.

No matter what, the other parties are all people from his village. It is very normal to say hello when they meet on the road.

However, he had just taken two steps when he saw a head suddenly pop out of the dog hole.

This head seemed to be upside down, and was "looking" at the scene outside through the dog hole in a weird way.

"ghost!"

Chen Yushu's heart skipped a beat and he shuddered.

This feeling is so terrifying.

An upside-down head was looking around with eyes wide open… Even though the other person’s face was intact and looked quite handsome, the way he appeared upside down in this extremely gloomy environment still made him feel creepy.

Then, its eyes turned around. Because of its position, it was unable to see Liu Qiaoer at first, but instead immediately locked onto the direction of Chen Yushuo.

Then, it laughed.

It is obvious that the corners of its mouth are curled up, as if it has found its target.
