Chapter 244: Ghosts Bring Wealth, Ghosts Bring Wealth
“You kid.
Can't I just come here and chat with you if I have nothing to do?"
Liu Hexuan cursed with a smile, and couldn't help but glance at the surrounding environment, saying: "This place, it really is full of vitality after people come here.
This tree, in particular, was almost dying.
It's only been less than half a month, and it's already sprouting new branches and looking lush and green?"
“The environment can change people, and people can naturally change the environment.”
Chen Yushu smiled and explained lightly.
Now, he is more skilled and proficient in the use of formations. The originally arranged formations have become more perfect after his adjustments.
The most obvious manifestation is the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. They are lush and green, and their growth rate is three to five times that of the outside world. The purified vitality is even overflowing, making the flowers and plants in the surrounding neighbors' homes grow more luxuriantly.
Such changes are quite normal.
"Yes.
That’s right.
The reason I came here this time is not only because the list of medicinal herbs you gave me last time is basically complete and I want you to verify it, but also because you, Shopkeeper Su, have returned."
Then, Liu Hexuan told the purpose of his visit.
"Master is back?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
He had participated in the genius assessment before, and as his master, Manager Su was supposed to be present. He had also mentioned before that he would come to watch.
But later it was said that the delay was caused by the temporary need to escort a batch of medicinal materials.
Now that I think the matter is over, I turned back and came to see him on the way.
"Where is he now? Take me there?"
Chen Yushu said.
Although his current strength should be no weaker than that of Shopkeeper Su, he may even be better.
But once a teacher, always a teacher, he naturally would not be proud of it.
“Not yet,
But at this point, it should be almost time.
Come with me and count the herbs. Your master should be here soon."
Liu Hexuan said with a smile.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Then, the two of them went out together.
On the way, Liu Hexuan asked curiously, "I saw you collecting materials, are you planning to make pills?
Could it be that Mr. Liu has already taught you the Liu family's alchemy method?"
The old man of the Liu family was born in Yaowang Valley and is an elite disciple of Yaowang Valley. In addition to being proficient in medical theory and pharmacology, what he is best at is the art of alchemy.
The reason why the Liu family was able to gain a foothold in Qinghe County and even ranked among the top three at its peak was because the old man of the Liu family's alchemy skills and the elixirs he refined were of great help to countless warriors.
This is the only way to gain a firm foothold.
Although there are many doctors in the Liu family pharmacy, there are not many who are truly proficient in and master the art of alchemy.
Even Liu Hexuan Liu was only proficient in medical skills and did not inherit much in alchemy.
Now that he saw Chen Yushu buying medicinal materials in large quantities, obviously preparing them for alchemy, he asked such a question.
I feel a little sad for some reason.
But he also felt that with the talent and strength that the other party had shown in this genius assessment, if he asked to learn the method of alchemy, it would be difficult for Grandpa Liu to refuse.
“No.
I just accidentally got an alchemy inheritance.
This time, I just plan to give it a try."
Chen Yushu explained with a smile, and his brows suddenly frowned slightly.
Because he suddenly noticed that there were quite a lot of people gathered in a shop not far ahead.
This is a tailor shop.
However, the people strolling around this tailor shop buying things are not just women, there are also many men.
Some of them even had things on their shoulders, but when they approached the store, they couldn't help but stop, put down their burdens, and walked in, looking like they couldn't help but choose the cloth to make a set of clothes.
“It’s also a weird door.
I was originally going to the dock to wait for work, but when I got here, I suddenly lost my mind and went straight in to order a set of clothes.
I don’t even have the money to pay for next month’s rent, which is another expense, and it’s also delayed my job search. Today’s job is full, so I have to get up early tomorrow to get some work…”
What a coincidence.
Just then, two young men passed by.
One of them said this and couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously, he didn't want to add clothes at first, but when he walked here, he couldn't help it.
After picking and paying, he finally came to his senses and hurried to the dock, but the goods were gone and it was not his turn. He had no choice but to come back.
Another person at the side also spoke up and said, "Me too.
But I'm better than you. When I was about to pay, I realized it in time and didn't sell it.
But afterwards, no matter what I did, I was unlucky.
I was walking on the road when I kicked a stone slab. It hurt like hell. I was carrying a bag of rice just now and accidentally fell. The rice was scattered all over the ground. Not only did I lose five or six taels of silver, but I also hurt my waist. Now I have trouble walking. What’s more, I have no work to do today..."
Another person also spoke, his face full of frustration.
Although he seemed to have saved money on custom-made clothes, his loss reached six or seven taels at the end of the day. In addition, he was injured. It was truly an unexpected disaster, and the loss was even greater.
“Who says it’s not?
It’s really weird!”
The other person heard this and quickly responded.
The two of them became inexplicably closer, feeling a sense of sympathy for each other as they were both in the same misfortune.
“Speaking of which, this store is indeed a bit weird.
When I passed by just now, I almost couldn't help but walk into that store.
Fortunately, I had great concentration and thought of going to your house to remind you, so I hurried over."
Liu Hexuan was also a martial artist, so although the conversation between the two was low, he heard it all. Upon hearing what they said, he immediately agreed and started to speak as well.
“Of course I can’t help it.
After all, it's ghost money.
Moreover, if you are rich and powerful, you can sit at the door of this store and always exert your influence.
If you are sensible, then just spend money to buy things, and everything will be fine without any impact.
But if you are stingy with money, you will be in trouble.
Being stared at by the Wealth Ghost will result in minor injuries, or even serious consequences..."
As he spoke, Chen Yushu looked at the young man who had not yet left and said, "Just like that young man, not only is he unlucky, but he is also going to lose a large sum of money."
"Ghost money?
A money ghost? "
Liu Hexuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said with a start: "Are you saying that this is caused by a ghost?"
Chapter 242
Of course he believed what Chen Yushu said.
He knew long ago that in addition to being a martial artist, Chen Yushu was also proficient in the secret art of walking in the underworld, and was a person who practiced both Taoism and martial arts.
Now that the other party said this in a serious manner, it was obvious that he had discovered something.
“That’s right.
However, I didn't expect this money-giving ghost to be so arrogant.
In broad daylight, you dare to do something so crazy."
Chen Yushu looked at the ghost standing at the gate. He looked like a businessman in his thirties or forties. Although his face was dark and blue, he kept waving at people.
If someone, out of carelessness or curiosity, glances at the tailor shop where it is, a gleam of light will immediately flash in its ghost eyes, and it can directly confuse the other person, making them walk into the shop, buy things, and then pay money.
Generally at this time, the ghost will no longer pay attention and let the other party leave safely.
But if during this process, the deceived person suddenly wakes up, the wealth ghost will immediately change his face and use various means to make him unlucky.
Although it won't kill anyone directly.
But it can also cause people to get hurt or lose money.
"Is there really a ghost?
What should I do then?
Upon hearing this, Liu Hexuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear on his face.
Although he also practiced martial arts, he was still very wary and afraid of things that could not be seen or touched.
The key point is that the ghost in front of him seemed so ferocious to him. It dared to come out in broad daylight and openly attack ordinary people. It was really powerful.
If he had known this earlier, he would have stayed away from it and would not have dared to take this path.
"No problem."
Chen Yushu waved his hand.
He was curious whether the shop owner knew about this ghost or not.
So he walked straight in and headed towards the shop.
Seeing someone walked into the store without being greeted, Lai Cai Ghost showed a trace of confusion on his face, and then seemed to react quickly. He waved to Chen Yushu and activated his ghost skills.
Almost instantly, Chen Yushu felt a gray aura approaching him.
But as soon as this aura approached, a trace of clear and spiritual light emerged from Chen Yushu's body, completely offsetting and dispelling it.
Then, Chen Yushu looked at the ghost of wealth with anticipation.
Then, without looking at the other person's terrified and stunned expression, he walked in tentatively.
There were quite a few people in the tailor shop, and there was a middle-aged woman who was greeting customers.
However, the real boss of the tailor shop was not her, but a woman in her thirties, dressed in purple, exuding a mature charm.
She seemed to have noticed the extraordinary qualities of Chen Yushu and Liu Hexuan. She, who was originally sitting in the back settling accounts, immediately stood up and came forward to greet them.
“Two guests.
Is there anything I need?"
When she was three or five steps away from Chen Yushu and others, she quickly greeted them.
"The boss lady's business is really enviable."
Chen Yushu replied with a smile.
“I don’t know why, but business is surprisingly good.
Some people who obviously had no intention of buying clothes suddenly came in and bought a set halfway through their walk.
But it's also strange, there are a few who obviously plan to buy, but as soon as they pass by my store, they are immediately attracted and buy one or two sets.
The business has improved unnoticed.”
The proprietress smiled and spoke.
"oh?
I wonder, when did the business of this shop start to be so prosperous?"
Then, Chen Yushu asked.
"ah?
Why does the guest say that?
However, this business is indeed a little weirdly good.
It was just okay before, but it got better three days ago."
The proprietress was a little confused at first, then seemed to remember something and spoke.
It seemed that he was also a little puzzled about this matter.
"Is your husband still alive?"
Chen Yushu finally asked.
The proprietress's body trembled violently, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, and then she immediately became excited. "You, who are you? Do you have any news about my husband?"
As her expression became more excited, the middle-aged male ghost who had been attracting wealth at the door immediately rushed over and stood in front of the proprietress, baring his fangs and claws, as if he was going to attack her.
Chen Yushu didn't care.
There is only one evil ghost around.
To him, there was almost no threat.
As for the current situation, he probably already understood it.
If nothing unexpected happens, the male ghost in front of me should be the proprietress's husband.
Died outside due to some accident.
As a result, he returned home under his obsession and transformed into a money-bringing ghost to attract fortune to his own business.
This is what triggered this special phenomenon.
This situation is actually a common phenomenon. Generally, after someone dies in the home, the owner will feel that the family is in difficult financial conditions, so the ghost will turn into a ghost and stay in the house to attract wealth.
However, ordinary ghosts are not like the one in front of him, who turns into a fierce ghost directly after death, and also directly comprehends the ability to attract wealth and does so.
The effect of attracting wealth is so significant that it has become a kind of harmful act.
Generally, the influence of the wealth ghost is only on a small scale. It will choose specific people with needs and ask them to enter the store to buy things. If the person entering the store insists on not selling, the wealth ghost will cast a spell to scare the person, making him "act on a whim" and indicating that if he does not buy, disaster will befall him.
Buying things in the corresponding store is like spending money to ward off disasters.
At this point, even if most people have "come to their senses", they will still choose to buy things for the sake of their own "safety" and "avoiding disaster".
Those who don't believe in evil will of course be taught a lesson by ghosts, suffer a little loss, and have some bad luck.
Moreover, the time that the wealth ghost brings to you is generally very short, ranging from three days to seven days.
After seven days, before the night of the return of the soul, you must evacuate, otherwise the ghost will come to take you away.
"Don't you think it's strange?
Why is there a tailor shop across the street that is even more spacious than yours, but its business is far worse than yours?
It is precisely because someone has supported your family that this unexpected fortune has been brought to you."
Chen Yushu sighed and said, "If it's just an ordinary fortune-bringing ghost, I don't want to care about it. It's nothing wrong to bring a little fortune and provide an extra layer of protection for your family.
But it is totally wrong to use ghost tricks to attract wealth as your family does, which leads to human disasters.
And now that I've seen it, I can't just ignore it."
Chen Yushu sighed and said.
"My husband is really dead?"
When the proprietress heard this, her face turned pale instantly.
She actually had felt it a long time ago.
One night three days ago, while she was sleeping, she vaguely felt that her husband had returned, but when she opened her eyes, there was no one around.
Then the next day, the business in the store was surprisingly good.
She didn't think much about it at the time. Although she felt strange afterwards, she also thought it was a good thing. In addition, there were so many custom-made clothes that she had to work until late every day and had no time to think too much.
Hearing Chen Yushu's words at this time, he suddenly understood something, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
