Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 130 The Girl's Solemnity

The thin cicada-shaped ancient jade was clearly picked out from the zombie's mouth.

But there was no blood stain on the jade cicada, and it glowed with a warm and transparent color under the pale flashlight.

Even a young man like Ran Qing who doesn't know much about antiques can tell that this jade is of good quality.

The girl pinched the jade cicada and said with a smile: "Ran Qing, don't you have no money to go to college? Sell this thing, it will definitely be enough for you to go to college."

Ran Qing was stunned when he heard this: "Can you sell so much?"

He looked at the beautiful jade cicada in Mo Li's hand, full of doubt.

"This thing is in the mouth of a corpse. Is there really anyone who would buy it?"

Are the preferences of rich people so strange?
Mo Li chuckled and nodded, "You're right, this kind of mouthpiece is indeed not worth much."

"The most valuable funerary objects are bronzes and various types of porcelain. Items like gold, silver, and jade are difficult to sell for a good price."

"Among bronze and porcelain artifacts, the most valuable are those with inscriptions, which have special value and meaning. The more words on a bronze artifact, the more important the information recorded, and the higher the value of the artifact."

"If I could get a bronze artifact, especially one with inscriptions on it, I would definitely be rich."

"But this Kou Han is pretty good, especially considering its age. It's an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty. It's still so well preserved after so many years, so selling it for around ten thousand yuan shouldn't be a problem."

"A few thousand yuan is enough for you to go to college, right?"

Ran Qing looked confused by the girl's words.

He heard the girl's hidden meaning: "You mean... give me all of Yu Han's money? You don't want it?"

The girl nodded and said, "You captured this zombie, so the spoils naturally belong to you."

Ran Qing shook his head and said seriously, "You have also made an effort. If you can sell it at a good price, we will split it in half."

Ran Qing has known since childhood that the most important thing when people get along with each other is to draw clear boundaries.

He had seen two brothers who were so close that they were as close as brothers, but ended up having no further contact with each other because of a financial dispute.

I have also seen financial disputes over a dozen yuan in villages eventually lead to knife fights and stabbings that resulted in murder.

As long as money and interests are involved, even the best relationships must be clearly defined.

What's more, his relationship with Mo Li is not that close.

Ran Qing said, "If you can sell it, you can take 70% and I'll take 30%."

This thing is in Ran Qing's hands, and he can't even sell it for a thousand yuan.

For him, no matter how high the value of something is, it is meaningless if it cannot be converted into cash.

When Ran Qing finished speaking, the girl widened her eyes in surprise.

"Eh? So generous?"

The girl rolled her eyes, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, thank you for your trust, boss. I will definitely sell this Yu Han for a good price."

She didn't say much, but carefully put away the jade.

The girl's movements were extremely cautious, as if she was holding something heavy.

Ran Qing looked at the zombie beside him. To him, this motionless zombie was the trouble that needed to be solved first.

"Let's drag this thing out first," Ran Qing began to clean up the scene in the stone chamber and take away all the garbage he left behind.

Even the incense ashes that fell on the ground were covered with soil and gravel.

After cleaning up the remaining traces in the stone chamber and finding no sign that a ghost had set up an altar here, Ran Qing dragged the nailed zombie out.

Mo Li asked curiously, "If we drag this zombie outside and expose it to the moonlight, won't it go berserk?"

Zombies will worship the moon and become restless and strong after bathing in the moonlight.

Zombies on full moon nights are often the scariest.

Although it is not a full moon tonight, the moonlight is very bright and shines on the mountains.

Mo Li wasn't sure whether the zombies would be stimulated by the moonlight after being nailed to death by the Seven Star Nails.

Ran Qing shook his head and said, "Just drag it into the hall outside, not outside the hall." The underground stone chamber was too closed and narrow.

Ran Qing wanted to go to a more open and spacious place to refine the corpse.

Ordinary zombies have no consciousness and act on instinct. They are just bloodthirsty moving shells.

But this ancient corpse from the Han Dynasty is obviously different. There may be an evil spirit inside it. You can try to put it in a jar and take it back.

The two men dragged the zombies back to the main hall and found that the three headless statues in the main hall had disappeared.

Now, there is only a lonely and broken clay statue standing on the shrine.

The power of the evil god disappeared temporarily.

But that evil god should still be watching Ran Qing.

Because Ran Qing saw that as they moved, the three pairs of dead shoes still followed them.

However, these three pairs of dead shoes stopped moving for the time being and did not chase after Ran Qing and the other two.

Little Cotton whispered, "The Evil God won't regret it, will he?"

These three pairs of dead shoes are very close to Ran Qing and the others at this time. Once they start moving again, it will be very troublesome.

Ran Qing shook his head and said, "The evil lords of Zangke are all very disciplined."

In other words, this group of evil lords are all bound by rules.

They cannot actually descend into the world of the living, and can only influence the human world through means such as incense offerings and projections of statues.

This influence is very weak and the restrictions are very large. No matter how powerful the evil gods are, they must abide by the rules and regulations and cannot be surpassed.

Ran Qing dragged the body to the center of the hall and laid it flat on the ground.

Then he took out a small radio from his canvas bag.

This old radio was used by Aunt Liu before.

Now that he had taken out this familiar radio and was looking at the tape inside, Ran Qing felt a little dazed.

Not long ago, Aunt Liu brought this radio to the funeral of Ran Qing.

Now, Ran Qing wants to follow Aunt Six's example and try to attract the wandering ghosts in the mountains to drag the evil spirits out of the zombies...

The eerie events of the exorcism in the mountains seem to have happened just yesterday.

But the old woman with harsh words and smelling of cigarettes had completely disappeared, without even a body left.

Ran Qing was silent for a while.

Finally, he sighed softly and silently pressed the play button on the radio.

"Oh my god~~~~ A gust of wind is coming down from the sky~~~"

The familiar funeral tune came from the radio, accompanied by the sound of suona, the beating of golden cymbals, and the harmony of the Yin-Yang master.

The originally empty Taoist temple hall suddenly became lively.

Ran Qing listened to these familiar voices and began to get busy in the hall.

The sound of funeral songs played on the radio spread through the mountains, and the empty hall gradually became eerie and strange.

Ran Qing's Yin-Yang eyes could vaguely see some sneaky and terrifying transparent figures wandering outside the hall.

Those wandering ghosts seemed to be watching.

They are dull and sluggish, and their numbers are few and far between.

But Ran Qing set up a simple altar in the main hall and burned incense sticks.

Soon, as the incense and candles burned, the wandering ghosts gradually approached the hall.

They wandered around in a daze to the bleeding zombie, and finally surrounded the zombie in the center.
