Chapter 19 Making paper effigies incorrectly can cause problems.

After the master strengthened the substitution formation for Yin Hong, he thought everything was foolproof and was now studying why Yun Shu's live stream was so popular.

After Yun Shu became famous, she could easily sell a paper effigy for several thousand yuan. The last paper effigy of a villa she sold to Wu Jin cost 20,000 yuan, which made him extremely jealous.

He defied his ancestral teachings and risked divine retribution to change Yin Hong's fate, earning a mere 50,000 yuan!

"This woman only knows some minor magic tricks to summon wind and rain, not as many as I do. How can she be popular? She charges fifty times more for just one paper effigy than I do, and so many people still want to buy them. Sure enough, there are the most suckers online!"

He opened a funeral home in a small town on the outskirts of town, but business wasn't good, so he took the risk of helping Yin Hong change his luck.

Yun Shu went home and started a live stream making paper offerings. He happened to see it and sent comments in the live stream chat.

Anyone who buys her paper effigies is a fool. I have the same paper effigies for only 100 yuan, and the effect is almost the same. If you don't believe me, come to my live stream to see.

His online account name was "Old Jiang is a professional in funeral services," and he posted more than ten bullet comments with the same content, deliberately belittling Yun Shu's stuff in order to attract traffic.

It was hard for Yun Shu to avoid seeing it, so she clicked into Lao Jiang's live stream, which featured funeral services, and saw him introducing his paper effigies.

"Old Jiang, I've been in the funeral industry for over ten years. Let me tell you this: the effects of paper effigies are all pretty much the same. Selling a paper effigy for over a thousand yuan is definitely a tax on your intelligence!"

Old Jiang, I never do anything dishonest or make money like that. These paper effigies are only 100 yuan each. Even if you buy 100, it's only 10,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan will allow your father to enjoy the treatment of an emperor in the underworld. You won't lose out!

I also think Yunshu is too expensive. I wanted to make a paper guitar to burn for my sister, but it turns out it costs a thousand yuan!

My dad wanted roast chicken, and Yunshu charged him 500 yuan to make it. What a rip-off!

[But Yunshu offers after-sales service, does yours?]

Old Jiang, seeing this comment, exclaimed in shock, "You actually want that kind of after-sales service?! Ghosts bring heavy yin energy that ordinary people can't withstand. At best, they'll get sick; at worst, they'll die! Just you wait and see, that guy named Wu Jin who's seen a ghost is definitely going to get sick and be hospitalized!"

Whether Wu Jin will get sick is unknown, but he announced today that he is quitting online and will no longer do paranormal live streams because he won five million in the lottery.

[Huh??? I thought he quit the internet to fulfill his promise to Yun Shu! How did he suddenly become rich?!]

[Yun Shu once said that her after-sales service would bring ghosts to your door, but it wouldn't harm you. If your ancestors were pleased, it might even bring you great luck!]

When Lao Jiang saw the comments from netizens, he was dumbfounded and quickly went to check Wu Jin's account.

Wu Jin posted a statement announcing his withdrawal from the internet, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Yun Shu and revealing that he had won the lottery. He said he would be enjoying life after leaving the internet.

Can your paper effigies help someone win the lottery?

A comment appeared on the screen.

Old Jiang said, "I can't guarantee you'll win, but if your ancestors are happy, you still have a chance! The more offerings you burn for your ancestors, the happier they will be! And the higher your chances of winning!"

Yun Shu simply couldn't stand it anymore.

She then commented in the live chat, "[It's not about burning as much stuff as possible. All your junk will still be junk in the underworld.]"

Seeing the comments, Lao Jiang couldn't help but angrily retort, "You make money through dishonest means, and now you're trying to slander me? I've made more paper offerings than you've eaten rice, and not a single person who's bought them has said anything bad about them!"

Yun Shu: [It's not like the person who bought it will use it.]

Looking at the paper villa and paper figures in his video, Yun Shu posted another message: "Your paper figure making is all wrong; it'll cause trouble. And that paper villa, if it's burned down to the underworld, it'll just be a thatched hut; the underworld won't even issue a property certificate."

"Have you ever been to the underworld? What makes you think my villa would turn into a thatched hut if it burned down!"

Old Jiang stood up angrily, pointing at his paper effigies, "And this paper effigy, I made it using an ancestral method, there's no way it could be wrong! It's much more handsome than yours!"

[Emm, Yun Shu's is still the most handsome. Your paper effigy has a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks, eyes the size of mung beans, and two blobs of dark red blush. It's really unbearable to look at.]

Didn't Yun Shu say that paper dolls shouldn't have eyes? How come his paper dolls have eyes?

Yun Shu left his live stream and then told his fans, "Don't buy his paper offerings. Not only are they poorly made, but he himself owes karmic debts and will soon face divine retribution. If you buy his things, you will suffer bad luck because of these karmic debts."

Okay, I promise I won't buy it. His paper effigy is so ugly, I'm afraid if I burn it, my mom will be so angry she wants to take me down with her.

【Huh? I ordered one because it was cheap, is it too late to get a refund now?】

Yun Shu: "There's still time."

In Lao Jiang's live stream, traffic plummeted instantly, and users who placed orders through the product links quickly got refunds within ten minutes.

Enraged, he yelled at Yun Shu in the live stream, "You heartless, despicable woman who makes money off others! You're making so much money that your hands are sore, yet you won't let others make any! You're going to hell!"

Some fans, still enjoying watching Lao Jiang make a fool of himself, told Yun Shu about his swearing.

Yun Shu sneered, "A person destined to be punished by heaven dares to curse others to go to hell? You won't even have the chance to go to hell; you'll just turn into a handful of ashes."

Old Jiang, a professional in the funeral industry: [Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; you're the one who deserves divine retribution!]

When Yun Shu saw that he had come to her live stream, she said, "You should think about what you've done first. Divine retribution is about to begin."

When Lao Jiang heard this, he thought of how he had helped Yin Hong change his luck, and his heart skipped a beat.

Netizens, however, were quite curious.

What kind of divine retribution?

What happens if there's divine retribution? Will I be struck by lightning?

Yun Shu explained, "Divine retribution is the punishment suffered for attempting to change things that are not allowed to be changed by obscuring the secrets of heaven. This punishment is not limited to being struck by lightning."

After Yun Shu finished speaking, she glanced at the camera, her dark and deep eyes seeming to see Lao Jiang outside the screen.

She said to him, "Don't you think there's anything wrong with your paper offerings? Why don't you look behind you?"

Old Jiang was thinking about Yin Hong's matter, and it took him a while to react. He typed and sent a message: "What could be wrong with my paper offering? Don't play tricks on me."

As soon as he sent it, he saw a face with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks reflected in the glare of his phone screen.

The face had beady green eyes that seemed to glow green, and two dark red blushes on its cheeks.

The paper effigy that Lao Jiang made was standing behind him, looking down at him as he played on his phone.
